Early in the morning, someone knocked on the door of the Li family. The head of the Li family awoke early and was somewhat surprised—who would come to see him at this hour?
He came to the door, slid back the lock, and opened the somewhat weathered old door.
Outside the door stood his five grandsons. The young men in camouflage uniforms smiled and greeted their grandfather.
Among them, the third and fifth eldest were marines, one from the 263rd Company, the other from the 141st Company.
The eldest was in the air force, working in logistics on a flat-top aircraft carrier, the second was in the navy, and the fourth was in the army.
They were all members of the Shangjing Military District, not part of the same unit, but today they had a synchronized leave.
In an instant, the old head of the Li family understood something. He wiped his nose and squeezed out a smile as he stepped aside to let the kids in. Once they were all inside, he stuck his head out.
