Chapter 55: Entering the Military Camp (1)

  With thoughts of his grandfather, Tian San boarded the bus home for the first time during the holiday, and unlike last time, he was wearing a crisp military uniform, looking very dashing.

  To sweep the tomb, Tian San made a special trip to the market, bought paper money, incense, wax and firecrackers, and then followed the mountain road that he had walked countless times as a child back home. Perhaps it was just the right day for the fair, on the way Tian San met many people from the village, perhaps Tian San changed his appearance, no one deliberately recognized him.

  Third Aunt and Tian San brushed past each other, and at first, she didn't recognize him either. It wasn't until she stopped to think for a moment that she suddenly called out: "Tian San!"

  Hearing someone calling him, Tian San stopped and turned around to see that it was Auntie San, so he smiled.

  "Aunt San, it's already afternoon, and you're just going to the market now?"

  "You... are you really Tian San?" Auntie San was completely unbelievable, the person standing in front of her would be that annoying and mischievous Tian San. She walked closer and took a closer look, using her wrinkled hands to carefully examine Tian San's face before exclaiming loudly: "It's really you!"

  "It's me!" Tian San looked at the overjoyed Third Aunt and smiled even more beautifully.

  "Ah..." Third Aunt suddenly sighed and said, "Indeed, people of noble birth often forget things. You didn't even greet me when you saw me just now!"

  After listening, Tian San suddenly felt a black line on his head and thought to himself that he still didn't know how to deal with interpersonal relationships. He quickly explained: "Isn't today the tenth anniversary of my grandfather's death? So I specially took leave to come back, and in my hurry, I didn't look carefully. It was my fault, Auntie San, please don't be angry!"

  Upon hearing Tian San's apology, San Shu felt somewhat unaccustomed to it. She thought that the mischievous and troublesome child from back then would never admit defeat or wrongdoing. "It's nothing, since it's your grandfather's memorial day, you should hurry back." After saying this, San Shu smiled slightly and turned around to quickly walk away.

  At this moment, Tian San suddenly realized that it had been almost a year since he last saw the village, and now it had changed. The stone road had become a cement road, and many new houses had appeared in the village. Looking around, the small village in early May was breathtakingly beautiful.

  Tian San did not go home directly, but went straight to his grandfather's grave. Standing in front of the black and white photo, Tian San's fists were tightly clenched.

  "Grandpa, I'm back! I've brought your hopes back with me!" As he spoke, Tian San's eyes were already brimming with tears. Looking at the photo of his grandfather still wearing his military uniform, with a five-pointed star on his epaulets, Tian San held back his sobs.

  Slowly, Tian San calmed down, wiped away the tears from his eyes, smiled and said: "Grandpa, I learned a lot of things in school military training that are different from what you taught me before. Let me show you. After that, we'll set off firecrackers and have some fun together!"

  As he spoke, Tian San immediately stood at attention, his right hand forming a fist and rising swiftly from his chest to render a standard and dashing military salute.

  "Bow!"

  "Turn right!"

  "Turn back!"

  "Halt!"

  "Attention!"

  "Cross!"

  "Attention!... March!...... Halt!"

  "Forward march!... Halt!"

  "Run - go! ... stand! still!"

  Tian San did so, in front of his grandfather's grave, and went through all the basic military movements. Finally, Tian San knew why the salute was so heavy!

  "Hats off!"

  "Banzai!"

  As his middle finger tightly stuck to the temple, Tian San's hand was trembling, not from fatigue, but because he was crying. At this moment, he wished that Grandpa could return to his side, so he could tell Grandpa that now he had learned more than Grandpa! But this was just a luxury.

  "Bow!"

  "Hats off!"

  Cried, Tian San smiled again, took out the incense paper money he had bought, half-knelt and lit the wax, burning the paper money while saying: "Grandpa, I never thought I would take this path. When I was young and foolish, I hated you for making me join the army and training me in various military skills from a young age."

  "But now I finally understand, there are things in the team's world that don't exist elsewhere." Tian San smiled and continued: "There, there is thrilling competition, everyone is striving to be first. There, there is the most sincere friendship. And..."

  "There is the most willing to hold hands for a lifetime of love!" Tian San's words did not come out, he just smiled and used a withered wood to pick up the paper money, the flames suddenly rose higher.

  Behind him, the whole family was quietly watching Tian San. His little niece's beautiful eyes looked up at her mother, as if asking: "Why can't I call him uncle?"

  "Alright, the last one, fire the firecrackers." After saying that, Tian San arranged the firecrackers in a row, lit the fuse and retreated two steps. He turned his back, closed his eyes and quietly listened to the sound of the firecrackers. The firecrackers were very intense, Tian San could feel his body being shaken by the exploding firecrackers, but at this moment, he only felt that it was his grandfather's last whip.

  As the cannon fire faded away, Tian San finally opened his eyes. When he saw a family standing in front of him, he smiled slightly.

  The little niece who had waited for too long finally got her mother's permission and rushed happily into Tian San's arms, pulling on his ears to make him face her, and asked very seriously: "Uncle, when did you become a soldier?"

  "Just yesterday~" Tian San said, rubbing his forehead against his niece's, and the big friends and little friends laughed with glee. Tian San was well aware that he owed his sister too much, so he treated his niece as if she were his own biological daughter.

  Teasing his little niece, Tian San asked at this time: "Sister, when did you come back?"

  Tian San's older sister is already in her thirties, but her petite appearance makes her look very young, like an 18-year-old girl. Moreover, she originally likes to wear casual clothes, and people who don't know her would think that she is the second child at home, while the chubby second sister is actually the eldest.

  Second sister is already married, but has never had children. Tian San is very grateful that second sister's husband can tolerate the immature second sister. It seems like in this family, no one wants to grow up, even if they have children, even if they get married, even if... they put on a military uniform with love.

  It's been many years since we've had such a family reunion, and the happiest one is still Mom. Seeing Tian San holding his luggage, she shouted at her husband beside her: "What are you standing there for? Don't take your son's luggage!"

  "Ah!" Dad simply responded with a single word, and was about to move forward, but was rejected by Tian San. It had been almost a year since they last saw each other, and his once robust father suddenly looked much more worn out. Tian San walked slowly up to his dad, smiled slightly, and he had already grown taller than his dad by a head.

  He looked at the shoulders he loved most when he was a kid, smiled and put his hands on them, asking: "Mom, what delicious dish have you cooked? I can smell the fragrance!"

  "Of course, there's your favorite food!" Mom said with a smile, but immediately became tense and said: "Oh no, I forgot to turn off the small fire, the stew in the pot is going to burn!" Then she turned around and rushed away.

  Dad didn't say anything, he just kept smiling, a shallow but happy smile. He looked at his son in front of him and thought that his son had finally grown up and he could finally let him venture out into the world on his own. But he also knew that his son would always be his son, and he still had to do many, many things for him.

  "Grandpa, I want to eat sugarcane!" The mischievous niece Jiajia suddenly let go of Tian Shichun's hand and looked at her grandfather with a pair of sparkling eyes. Where would there be sugarcane in May? This made Tian Shichun somewhat perplexed. But he loved his granddaughter so much, so he patted Jiajia's head and said: "Okay, Grandpa will go buy some for you!"

  "I'll go," Tian San said, squatting down and whispering something into Jiajia's ear. Jiajia burst out laughing and said, "Okay!"

  After finishing speaking, Tian San handed over his luggage to his elder sister and ran towards the small shop in the village. Along the way, Tian San finally realized that when he was a child, he had caused his father so much suffering, and how he used to want to eat sugar cane in May.

  He didn't buy his niece sugarcane, but instead bought a Barbie doll that she had always wanted. When they got home, Jiajia saw the toy in Tian San's hand and immediately ran over to him. At this moment, Tian San looked up at his father with a smile, and only then did he realize how much he owed them.

  "Alright, alright, come and eat quickly!" Afraid that her daughter would play with toys instead of eating, older sister Tian Mengqi shouted.

  "Mom, after we finish eating, can you help me dress up Barbie?" Jiajia said with a pout, sitting down beside her mom, she wanted to play with toys first before having dinner.

  But she knew that would make her uncle angry, so she sat obediently at the dinner table and then competed with her uncle to see who could eat faster. When she lost, she would mischievously say: "Uncle is an adult, you can eat more in one bite than me, I didn't lose!" And then she wouldn't eat anymore, to prove that she had also finished eating.

  Looking at his niece, Tian San had a helpless expression and could only scoop another bowl of rice to coax her into finishing the leftovers.

  It was just such a joyful and harmonious scene, but Tian San only had one day to enjoy it. After sleeping overnight, he left the door early in the morning when everyone else was still asleep. When Deng Sulian woke up and found that the door was open, her son had also left, so she could only sigh and start making breakfast.

  It's another departure, Tian San once again stood at the same ridge as before, and he seemed to still hear clearly the voice of Third Aunt: "Tian San, you must study hard, then come back and become an official to bring us wealth!"
