Today is August 13th, and it is also the day he returns to the city.

Wang Jianxin got up early, folded the quilt into tofu blocks, and spread the sheets evenly.He walked around the dormitory and looked at the small room he had lived in for less than a month - the desk, chairs, wardrobe, and the schedule posted on the wall.There are not many things, but after living there for these days, I have feelings for it.

He first came to the political office and found Director Liu.

"Here?" Officer Liu took out a kraft paper envelope from the drawer and handed it to him, "This is your admission notice. A letter of introduction to the league organization is also inside. You are a league member and need to transfer all relations to the Youth League Committee of Beijing Medical College. You also need to use the notice to transfer your household registration and transfer your food relations to Beijing Medical College."

Wang Jianxin took the envelope, opened it and looked at it.The admission notice was a piece of paper with "Beijing Medical College" printed on it, along with his name and registration date.Stamped with a big red official seal, it looks official.

Officer Liu added: "Other archive materials will be sent through the military's confidential channels and do not need to be carried by yourself. When you arrive at the school, the archives will also arrive."

"I understand. Thank you, Director Liu."

After coming out of the political office, Wang Jianxin returned to his dormitory and began to sort out his personal belongings.Military uniforms—four pockets of summer uniforms, winter uniforms, shirts, and overcoats. Bring the whole set.Bedding, sheets, and pillows were issued by the army, folded and tied into a backpack.Toiletries - washbasin, dental bowl, towels, soap, put in mesh bags.

He tied all the luggage neatly with straps according to the packing method he had learned.A backpack, a canvas bag, a net bag, and the bicycle were all his belongings.

Then he came to the office building and said goodbye to Commander Zhang, Chief of Staff Li, Deputy Commander Zhou, Deputy Commander Wang, and Deputy Commander Yao one by one.

Captain Zhang was sitting behind his desk. When he saw him coming in, he stood up, took out a train ticket from the drawer and handed it to him: "On August 18th, the ticket from Baotou to Beijing has been bought for you."

Wang Jianxin took the ticket and felt warm in his heart.Being a soldier is great. Not only does it cost nothing, but all food, clothing, housing and transportation are included.Travel can also be reimbursed.

"The car has been arranged. Squad Leader Li will take you to Baotou Railway Station." Captain Zhang came over and patted his shoulder, "Go to school and study hard. Don't embarrass our group."

"Yes! Don't worry, chief!"

Chief of Staff Li shook his hand: "Study hard, and the sick and wounded in our regiment will count on you in the future."

Vice-leader Zhou also came, looking much better than before, with blood on his face.He held Wang Jianxin's hand and shook it vigorously: "Xiao Wang, when you get to Beijing, say hello to your parents for me. If you need anything in the future, just call me."

Deputy Commander Wang's loud voice rang out in the corridor again: "Xiao Wang, study hard! Once you've learned enough, come back and treat the people in our group!"

Deputy Captain Yao didn't say much, he just patted him on the shoulder and nodded.

Wang Jianxin saluted and said goodbye one by one.

After leaving the office building, Squad Leader Li had already driven the jeep to the door.His bike was tied to the back of the jeep, securely secured with a rope.The luggage was placed in the back seat and the backpack was propped against the back of the seat.

Wang Jianxin got into the car and sat in the passenger seat.The jeep started and slowly drove out of the regiment headquarters gate.

He glanced back.Office buildings, playgrounds, red flags, poplar trees, and the leaders standing at the door waving to him.This regiment, which didn't stay long but had deep feelings for it, became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared into the horizon.

Wang Jianxin turned his head, feeling mixed in his heart.

From the grassland to the regiment headquarters, from the regiment headquarters to the school, step by step, we are getting closer and closer to our hometown.

Monitor Li drove the car and didn't talk much, but he said a few words to him from time to time.The two chatted about interesting things during training. Squad leader Li said that when he entered the excellent line in the five-kilometer cross-country run on the first day, the whole company was shocked.Wang Jianxin smiled and said nothing.

The road from the regiment headquarters to Baotou Railway Station is not close.The jeep drove for a long time, and it was already afternoon when we arrived at the train station.

Monitor Li parked the car, took off his bicycle, and helped Wang Jianxin unload his luggage.The two of them went to the shipping office together and checked in their bicycles.After filling out the form and paying the money, the bicycle was pushed into the luggage station and will be transported to Beijing with the car.

After finishing the check-in, Squad Leader Li sent Wang Jianxin to the platform.The train has stopped there, and the green carriage is similar to the one Wang Jianxin took a year ago.Monitor Li helped him carry his luggage into the car, find a seat and put it away.

"Monitor Li, thank you." Wang Jianxin stretched out his hand.

Squad Leader Li shook his hand and said with a smile: "Study hard, Platoon Leader Wang. We will see you later."

"See you later."

Monitor Li got off the bus, stood on the platform, and waved to him.Wang Jianxin stretched out his hand from the car window and waved.

The whistle blew.The train started slowly, clanging, clanging, clanging, getting faster and faster.

Wang Jianxin leaned on his seat and watched the platform outside the window getting farther and farther away, and the figure of Squad Leader Li getting smaller and smaller.The train left the station and headed into the distance.

When I went back this time, my mood was different from when I came here, and my physical condition was even different.A year ago, he was a fifteen-year-old boy, thin and anxious, not knowing what was waiting for him on the grassland.Now, he is wearing a military uniform, with an admission notice and a first-class merit certificate in his pocket. His body is on the fourth level of Qi refining, and there are mountains of supplies piled in the space.

I didn't feel tired, I just felt excited.You can go home soon.You can see your father, mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother and little sister soon.

There is another emotion - I can go to Beijing soon.What was Beijing like in the 1970s?He wanted to see the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and the capital of this era.

The train clattered along.Wang Jianxin looked out the window as fields, villages, and towns passed by one scene after another.Hebei and Beijing are getting closer and closer.
