Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

Time passed little by little, and when Mu Chen went to sign up for army service, Mu Xi also followed him to join in the fun.

Mu Xi stood aside and looked around, waiting for Mu Chen to have a physical examination and test.

"Hey! Little girl, are you here to sign up for the art troupe? What's your name? You look good and have a good figure. What can you do?" A female leader in military uniform looked at Mu Xi and asked gently.

When Mu Xi heard this, she looked at the other person with bright eyes, "I came here with my brother to sign up. My name is Mu Xi. Are you recruiting people for the art troupe? Is it okay if I can play a musical instrument?"

After hearing about the art troupe, Mu Xi also became interested. It would be a good place to stay for a few years. Moreover, it is inside the military area and won’t be so chaotic. After a few years, it would be nice to change careers when she gets bored.

When Deng Qi heard that Mu Xi could play a musical instrument, he also became interested. His art troupe wanted to recruit a member who could play a musical instrument, preferably the violin. He had been searching for so long but couldn't find one. Unexpectedly, he met her by chance today when he came out to relax.

"Then can you play the violin?" Deng Qi looked at Mu Xi expectantly.

Mu Xi hesitated for a moment when she heard this. The original owner had indeed learned the violin, but at this sensitive time, would the violin, which was introduced from foreign countries, become the target of criticism? After all, she had seen the music teacher being accused like this at school.

"I can play a little, but I play the lute better. Do you want to listen?"

Deng Qi immediately perked up when he heard this, and enthusiastically took Mu Xi's hand, "Let's go in and try it out. It just so happens that both of these instruments are available inside, you can try them out."

Mu Xi followed Deng Qi in, took over the violin and started playing. After a song, Deng Qi nodded slightly with satisfaction, "Try the pipa again, let me see how it goes."

Mu Xi picked up the pipa again, tuned it, and started playing. After the song, Deng Qi stood up excitedly and applauded.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

"Good! It's good!"

"That's you. Are you interested in joining our art troupe? The benefits are good. Although our military region is a little far from here and a little remote, the people in the troupe are very nice..."

Just when Deng Qi was actively persuading Mu Xi, Mu Chen came over after finishing his physical test.

"Hello, Chief. I'm here to look for my sister." Mu Chen followed a captain into the room and saw a female chief in military uniform fooling her sister.

"Brother Mu Xi! You came at the right time. Your sister has passed the interview for the art troupe. She can come with you to our military region then." When Deng Qi saw that the visitor was Mu Xi's elder brother, he also greeted him warmly.

When Mu Chen heard this, his eyes flickered. If his sister was in the same military district as him, he could take care of her. Thinking of this, Mu Chen couldn't help but be moved, but he still asked his sister's opinion, "Little sister, what do you think?"

Seeing that she finally had a chance to speak, Mu Xi smiled and said, "Brother, I want to join the art troupe, but I haven't discussed this with my parents yet, and I don't know if they agree."

Mu Chen hesitated for a moment when he heard this. He thought that his parents would be reluctant to let his sister go to such a far place. "Then go back and discuss it with them."

Hearing this, Mu Xi turned to Deng Qi and spoke gently, "Commander, can I give you an answer tomorrow? This happened suddenly today, and my family doesn't know about it yet. I want to go back and discuss it with them."

Deng Qi heard this and said enthusiastically, "Why call me Chief? Just call me Aunt Deng. Go back and discuss it. Prepare all the materials and hand them over to me tomorrow."

Mu Xi smiled and nodded when she heard this, then left with Mu Chen.

"Brother, how was your physical test?" Mu Xi asked with concern.

"There shouldn't be any problem. Little sister, why did you go to interview for the art troupe?" Mu Chen asked curiously.

Mu Xi smiled and explained the whole story.

After returning home, Mu Xi told Mu's mother and father what happened when they came back in the evening.

"Jiangcheng? It's so far away from us, and that place is so remote. It's hard to come back." After hearing Mu Xi's words, Mu's mother immediately spoke reluctantly.

"Mom, if I pass too, my little sister and I will be in the same military region, and I will take good care of her then." Mu Chen consoled with a smile.

When Mu's mother heard this, she immediately retorted angrily, "You are a new soldier in the army, and you are even busier than Xiaoxi. How can you have the time to take care of Xiaoxi? Don't fool me here. Do you think I don't know anything?"

When Mu Chen heard this, he scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled foolishly.

Mu Xi called Mu Mu a few more times in a coquettish manner.

Finally, Mu's mother looked at Mu's father and said, "Jiahe, what do you think?"

Father Mu pursed his lips tightly, looking solemn, as if he was making an important decision. "Xiao Xi, do you really want to go? If you like, Dad supports you. If you have other reasons, you can tell me and see if it can be resolved."

When Mu Xi heard this, her eyes flickered, and she hesitated before speaking, "It's just that the atmosphere in school is too depressing now, so I want to leave. This is just one of the small reasons. And I also want to go to the art troupe, but it's too far away from you guys, and I'm a little reluctant to leave."

After hearing this, Mu's father and mother were silent for a while. Finally, Mu's father sighed and said, "It's better to go to the art troupe. It's more remote and less chaotic."

The next day, Mu Chen also received a notice of enlistment, and Mu Xi prepared the materials and handed them over to Deng Qi.

When Deng Qi came to Mu Xi's house to ask questions as usual, he found out that he knew Mu Xi's mother and they had a good relationship.

Mu's mother felt relieved when she saw that Mu Xi's leader was someone she knew.

After it was confirmed that Mu Xi and Mu Chen would join the army, they went to tell Grandpa Mu, Grandma Mu, and Uncle Mu's family.
