Chapter 1014 Millennium Spring Festival

During the Spring Festival, Liu Tao's family always felt something was missing.

There was one person missing from the reunion dinner.

But it was the first time that Liu Jingming did not spend the Spring Festival at home.

Since being selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 23rd pick in the NBA draft, Liu Jingming officially started his basketball career. Now, through his own efforts, Liu Jingming has secured the position of the Lakers' main small forward with his performance.

In this Lakers team, the current 'Big Shark' O'Neal is at his peak and is the No. 1 center in the NBA. 'Little Flying Man' Kobe has also grown into a superstar. Under the leadership of the 'OK combination', the Lakers' record ranks first in the NBA and also aims at the NBA championship.

This Lakers team is not strong. Only O'Neal can score more than 30 points at will, only Kobe can score more than 20 points at will, and only Horry can score 10 points at will.

Others score less than 10 points.

Now Liu Jingming averages 13.9 points per game, second only to the 'OK' combination.

Although Liu Jingming has only been trained in basketball for a short time, he was a swimmer before, with good physical fitness, high flexibility, fast speed, long arms, strong defensive ability, and soft shooting touch and high hit rate.

As the first player to enter the NBA through the NBA draft, coupled with Liu Jingming's previous fame, CCTV and Xiangjiang Satellite TV broadcast the entire draft live during Liu Jingming's draft. After Liu Jingming entered the NBA, he has been in the spotlight.

This year, when they had the reunion dinner, Liu Tao and his friends did not watch the Spring Festival Gala, but the Lakers' game.

After the reunion dinner, the children received red envelopes and went to play happily.

Now, Liu Tao's youngest child is already 7 years old.

Liu Yingqing was specially recruited by Southwest Associated University last year and began to prepare for the Olympics this year.

Liu Qing'an and Liu Manhua are currently in the top 300 in the world in tennis, and their performance is improving rapidly. They will also compete in this year's Olympics, both men's singles and women's singles, as well as men's and women's tennis competitions.

As for Liu Yiyong and Liu Dini, who are already 7 years old, they have no interest in sports. Liu Dini's dream is to be a painter and calligrapher, while Liu Yiyong's dream is to be an actor and travel the world like Xiao Jian.

Okay!

After the broadcast of "Return of the Pearl", it became a huge hit across the country. Two consecutive TV series made the leading actors of "Return of the Pearl" very popular.

Liu Tao did not interfere with the children's interests and hobbies. Whatever they wanted to do, as long as it was not harmful to the country and the people, they could do what they liked.

After all, they worked hard for the sake of their children and grandchildren to have a better life and more choices.

Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

A gala was being held in the military camp. The art troupe came to perform, singing, dancing, skits, and crosstalk, which made the soldiers laugh and applaud from time to time.

The Spring Festival dinner was also much more sumptuous than usual, with delicacies from land and sea.

This was the first batch of volunteers withdrawn from Cambodia, with a total of 50,000 people.

As the war is basically extinguished, a large war will no longer break out. The next step is to suppress bandits, and Cambodia and other countries will begin to withdraw the volunteers.

After treatment and psychological counseling, a considerable number of volunteers will choose to retire. After retirement, some will receive a considerable retirement fee, while others will choose a small retirement fee and get a stable job, live an ordinary life, accompany their families well, and then marry and have children.

Even, many volunteers have already married and had children in the local area and decided to stay there for development.

Some will even choose to obtain a large piece of land and then take their parents to Southeast Asia.

This is just the first batch of volunteers. In the next two years, a total of up to 2 million volunteers will be withdrawn to Singapore, Cambodia and Laos.

These soldiers who have experienced the baptism of war are completely different from ordinary soldiers.

They are more powerful on the battlefield.

After all, it is completely different whether a soldier has seen blood or not!

Like these 50,000 volunteers, they are the first batch of volunteers in Cambodia. They have been fighting for two years and have probably experienced no less than fifty battles of varying sizes.

Of course, some people died and some were injured.

Acclimatization cannot be completely solved even now, even with the best logistical and medical support.

There are ten medical ships to treat the injured soldiers, and there are field military hospitals, but hundreds of thousands of soldiers still died.

The soldiers who died often choose to be buried locally, and a martyrs' cemetery is built locally.

In Cambodia, there is nothing else, but there are as many aquatic products as you want, as well as pork, chicken, duck and vegetables.

Today is the Spring Festival, and there is a Spring Festival Gala, so the soldiers can spend a happy New Year in peace and happiness.

When the gala ended, some soldiers had already called home with their mobile phones. When they heard the voices of their parents or wives and children, the iron-willed men couldn't help but burst into tears.

Sacrificing a small family for the sake of everyone seems to be a sentence, but there are so many sad things in it.

Men don't shed tears easily, but they are not sad.

And sometimes, just hearing a word from parents can make people burst into tears.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, teams of soldiers lined up neatly on the prepared trains and boarded them. They would take the train home.

Even those who chose to stay in the army could get a three-month vacation.

They wore commemorative medals and medals of honor on their chests. They all carried a bag and lined up neatly. One train could carry 2,268 people, and 22 green trains were dispatched.

Until noon, all 22 green trains finally departed.

In the train, the soldiers' eyes were full of expectations, and of course there was a complex feeling of being more timid when they were close to home.

Some people have not been home for three or four years. They don't know if their hometown has changed, whether their parents' hair has turned white, and whether their children who were born not long ago are afraid of their fathers.

In the soldiers' backpacks, there are bank cards, a set of military uniforms, special products prepared by the troops for the soldiers, and gifts from other parties for serving the troops.

There are only no guns, daggers, or sabers.

Except for those who have reached a certain level, even if they wear pistols when visiting relatives, others cannot carry weapons when visiting their hometowns.

On the train, some soldiers couldn't help but call their families and say that they were going home. Some soldiers could even eat hot meals at home in the evening.

The green train is not fast, far less than the EMU, but in places like Cambodia and Laos, the China-Laos-Cambodia Railway has greatly improved traffic conditions. It is a major traffic artery.

Many things that are commonplace in China are rare in many places.

In China, as high-speed railways are built and opened to traffic, everyone has become accustomed to taking high-speed railways, and some people have even chosen to take planes for business trips.

But in Laos and Cambodia, railways are already considered a very fast means of transportation!
