The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

When Li Kaixin and his family returned to No. 93 Courtyard, it was already 11 a.m.

As soon as the family entered the courtyard, Aunt Zhao and Aunt Sun from the front yard saw them and immediately ran over to greet them.

"Happy, you're finally back!" Aunt Zhao said, blocking Li Kaixin's way.

Grandma Sun stood to the side, her face also showing anxiety.

Li Kaixin was completely confused by the two of them and asked in bewilderment:

"Aunt Zhao, Aunt Sun, what's wrong with you?"

Aunt Zhao didn't waste any time and immediately began to explain.

"It's like this: during the two days you were back in your hometown, many soldiers came to visit you."

"Your Aunt Zhao is right!"

Grandma Sun chimed in, "Six groups of people came yesterday, and two more came today, and they haven't left yet!"

As she finished speaking, her gaze involuntarily drifted towards the backyard.

After listening, Li Kaixin already had a guess in his mind. It was probably that some regiment in the military region wanted him to lead new recruits again.

Just then, five or six soldiers in military uniforms ran out from the backyard.

Upon seeing Li Kaixin, the leading soldier immediately strode forward: "Comrade Li, I've finally waited for you!"

The person who came was none other than Platoon Leader Sun, who had visited Compound 94 yesterday.

"Platoon Leader Sun, what brings you here?" Li Kaixin asked, though he had a rough idea of ​​why they were there.

Platoon Leader Sun didn't respond, but instead grabbed his arm: "Comrade Li, I don't have time to explain, please come with us!"

"Okay, no problem!" Li Kaixin nodded, turned to look at his parents beside him, "Dad, Mom, then I'll go with Platoon Leader Sun and the others."

"It's alright, be happy, go ahead!" Father Li Mingde waved his hand and grabbed his eldest son's bicycle.

Li Kaixin didn't linger any longer and followed Platoon Leader Sun and the other six men out of the courtyard.

As soon as they left the courtyard, Aunt Zhao immediately came over and whispered, "Mingde, what's Kaixin rushing off to?"

Grandma Sun, who was standing nearby, also cast a concerned glance at them.

"It's alright, Sister Zhao."

Father Li Mingde smiled and replied, "Xiaomi is still going to the army to provide technical guidance as usual, except this time she's going to instruct the new recruits to be a little anxious."

"Oh, I see. That puts my mind at ease."

Aunt Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across her face: "I saw those soldiers looking for him so urgently, I thought something had happened!"

Grandma Sun understood immediately and praised, "Mingde, your family is really capable; they're even starting to instruct new recruits now."

"Not at all!" Father Li Mingde waved his hand with a smile. "Then Sister Zhao, Sister Sun, if there's nothing else, we'll head back now."

After saying that, he took his wife and daughter and walked towards the backyard.

Outside the compound, Li Kaixin and Platoon Leader Sun had just stepped out of the gate when they bumped into another group of soldiers walking out of Compound No. 94.

"Platoon Leader Sun, where are you taking Comrade Li?" the leading soldier asked, leading four other soldiers to block their way.

Upon seeing this, Platoon Leader Sun's expression turned grim.

"Platoon Leader Zhou, what do you mean by this? We invited Comrade Li first, so don't you dare try anything with him!"

The reason he was in such a hurry to take Li Kaixin away was to avoid them, but he never expected that they would still run into them.

"Platoon Leader Sun, you can't say that. Even if you invited Comrade Li first, you still have to respect his wishes, don't you?"

Platoon Leader Zhou replied, then turned to look at Li Kaixin, his tone becoming warmer:

"Comrade Li, when I came here, Commander Lin specifically told us that he knew about what you had gone through in Changbai County, and that we must invite you to the regiment so that he could personally welcome you."

Upon hearing this, Li Kaixin felt somewhat troubled.

He owed Commander Lin a favor for what happened in Changbai County last time.

If it weren't for Commander Lin, my identity wouldn't have been verified so quickly, and Zhang Mazi's matter wouldn't have been resolved so smoothly.

But it was Platoon Leader Sun who invited him first, so I couldn't refuse him.

Seeing Li Kaixin hesitate, Platoon Leader Sun immediately became anxious:

"Comrade Li, our Regiment Commander Wang has been looking forward to you for days, just waiting for you to come and guide the new recruits in our regiment!"

"Platoon Leader Sun, you're making it sound like everyone else is the same."

Platoon Leader Zhou refused to back down: "Our regimental commander sent us to invite Comrade Li the day before yesterday, but we didn't expect Regimental Commander Zhao to beat us to it."

Immediately afterwards, the two platoon leaders started arguing.

When their soldiers saw this, they all looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what to do.

Just as the two were arguing fiercely, a military jeep drove up from a distance.

Upon seeing the license plate, Platoon Leader Sun and Platoon Leader Zhou simultaneously fell silent and instinctively straightened up.

Soon, the jeep stopped in front of them, the doors opened, and Commander Lin and Commander Wang got out from either side of the vehicle.

The two regimental commanders exchanged a glance, but unlike their platoon leaders, they were not on the verge of conflict. Instead, they walked towards Li Kaixin with smiles on their faces.

"Happy, long time no see!"

Commander Lin was the first to extend his hand and shake it firmly. "I heard about what happened in Changbai County. I'm glad you're alright."

"Thank you for remembering, Commander Lin," Li Kaixin replied with a smile. "I also need your help with the matter last time."

"I'm happy, it was just a small favor."

Commander Lin waved his hand with a smile, then turned to look at Commander Wang beside him, "I came here with Old Wang today to ask for your help."

"Could you give some guidance to the new recruits from both of our regiments together?"

It turned out that he and Lao Wang had spoken on the phone today, and they learned that they had both sent people to invite Li Kaixin.

The two of them then discussed it and decided that instead of arguing back and forth, they might as well let him give them guidance together.

Li Kaixin smiled and nodded, "Commander Lin, Commander Wang, since you two have come in person, how could I possibly refuse?"

Upon hearing this, the two regimental commanders immediately broke into smiles.

Then, Battalion Commander Wang glanced at Platoon Leader Sun and asked, "Platoon Leader Sun, where's your vehicle? I can't see it."

"Commander, we parked the vehicle at the corner of the alley." Platoon Leader Sun scratched his head and glanced at Platoon Leader Zhou and the other five men beside him.

The car was too loud to start, so they tricked Li Kaixin into leaving alone so the other party wouldn't hear.

"What are you waiting for? Go get the car!" Commander Wang urged.

Battalion Commander Lin, who was standing to the side, also gave Platoon Leader Zhou a wink.

Platoon Leader Sun and Platoon Leader Zhou immediately sprang into action, each instructing their men to drive the vehicles.

A moment later, two military green trucks slowly drove up from the corner of the alley.

"Kaixin, get in the car." Commander Lin stepped aside and gestured for them to get in.

Li Kaixin didn't stand on ceremony and bent down to climb into the back seat of the jeep.

Commander Wang and Commander Lin followed closely behind and got into the car, sitting on either side of him.

The jeep started up, and two trucks followed behind, heading out of the city together.
