In the evening, Li Guoliang and Li Ping had a long conversation. It was mainly Li Ping's experience on the front line, and Li Guoliang listened quietly.
After Li Ping finished speaking, the tea in Li Guoliang's cup was also cool.
He said, "I went to the front line once and suffered so much, knowing that it is not easy to be a soldier. I still have to join the army in the future?"
"To join the army." Li Ping said firmly. "Dad, it is because I have gone so far that I understand the greatness of soldiers better. I want to be a useful person. I want to be a soldier who defends my home and country."
Seeing Li Ping so determined, Li Guoliang was very pleased and touched.
Unexpectedly, among so many children, the eldest daughter who lives by his side is the same as his belief.
"Pingping, I believe you will be an excellent soldier in the future." Li Guoliang believed himself.
A soldier with conviction will definitely be a good soldier. He has this confidence again.
Li Ping smiled and said, "Dad, thank you."
This is more sincere than ever before. She has been on the battlefield to command. She knows the difficulties and dangers of war. This is still a border war. If you think about the wars that her dad went through back then, she really earned her life from the sea of swords and flames. .
She had some complaints against him in her heart, but now they are gone. Even if my father was not so close to her, it is undeniable that he is also a respectable person.
Maybe not a good and responsible father, but at least, he should not be resented by her.
On the other side, Li's mother was still doing ideological work for Li Aihong and told her not to go to the army. Even if you want to go to the army, you have to go after studying so that you can do easy work.
Li Aihong simply said the truth, "Mom, I won't be admitted to college."
She knows her own grades. It’s good to go to high school. She didn’t even think about going to college at first, so her grades are mediocre in the class, and college is hopeless. This is still half a semester, and she knows it herself.
"This..." Li's mother was also anxious. The girls said that she could not pass the exam, so she would definitely not pass the exam.
"I can't work harder?"
"Unless my dad finds me a relationship," Li Aihong said.
Mother Li choked. This is impossible. Although she has many thoughts, she also knows where the bottom line of her man is.
"What should I do then?"
"So I have to join the army. Don't worry, mom. I think it all. Now that the war is over, I won't be older in a short time. I won't be on the battlefield. And my dad knows so many people in the army. Even if my dad doesn't care about me, but people see me, can they still care about me?
Mother Li nodded, thinking it was the same reason. She breathed a sigh of relief, "You child, you have all planned. I thought you were going to join the army because you hated it impulsively. I was terrified. This time the war, your eldest sister, I am really worried. Yes. If you go again, I guess I can't sleep anymore."
Li Aihong said, "Mom, don't worry, when did I worry you?"
Mother Li laughed, thinking that the second girl was indeed very caring, and had been with her since childhood. "In this case, I won't advise you. You go to the army. I heard that universities cannot deal with objects. If you go to university, you don't know when you will get married. When you go to the army, I will give Look at good people. Let's find a good marriage."
Li Aihong said embarrassedly, "Mom, it's too early to say what this is doing."
"It's getting late, I must show it to you."
Mother Li thought of her current life, and felt that it was more important to marry a good person. As for the others, it is second.
"Mom, what about the older sister, what are you going to find for her?" Li Aihong said nervously. She knew that the eldest sister was a college student and was older than her. She would definitely be earlier. What should I do if Mom gives the best to the eldest sister?
"Your eldest sister..." Mother Li thought for a while, and sighed when she thought of her eldest daughter's inability to get in. "Your eldest sister's temperament is really hard to find. Forget it, she will have two more years. After graduation, I will find it for you first."
Hearing Li's mother's assurance, Li Aihong was relieved immediately.
She is inferior to the elder sister in other aspects, and must be better than the elder sister in terms of finding a partner.
The next afternoon, when Su Yu got off work, she saw Li Ping wearing a military uniform, a cotton uniform, a hat and a scarf, standing outside the city party compound.
Although she was wrapped tightly, Su Yu was very familiar with her, she recognized it at a glance, and ran over happily, "Li Ping, when did you come here, why don't you go in and find me?"
"Not long after I came here, I don't want to disturb your work." Li Ping smiled.
"It's the end of this year, and it's not busy. Go, let's go out for dinner and have a good chat."
The two of them found a nearby state-owned restaurant to sit down, Su Yu ordered two bowls of dumplings and a bowl of pork vermicelli, and then they pulled Li Ping to talk.
Because he was worried about military secrets, Su Yu didn't ask any specific information, but only asked Li Ping whether he worked **** the front line and what he was responsible for.
After listening to Li Ping talk about the difficult environment there, she also tutted out. The reality is always more difficult than imagined. Especially now that the national strength is not strong and the materials are in short supply. In terms of transportation, the situation is far less than that of later generations. It is really difficult everywhere.
Fortunately, the war ended early. If it drags on any longer, the country will really be unable to keep up.
"Unexpectedly, you and Jiang Hu can run into each other. This is really fate. By the way, I heard Dong Zheng said that Jiang Hu will come here in a few days. Then, will you see him?"
Li Ping blushed immediately.
Su Yu originally said casually. After all, after spending so long on the battlefield, it should be considered a friendship. I didn't expect this friendship to be pure.
"What's your situation? You..."
Li Ping nodded, and then took out the bullet shell pendant from his neck.
"He sent it."
Su Yu immediately became happy. I didn't expect Li Ping to be the target after going out. And the other party is still an acquaintance.
"I heard Dongzheng say that Comrade Jiang Hu is a fool and doesn't come into contact with lesbians. I didn't expect this to happen at this critical moment. I even gave the token of love."
Li Ping blushed even more. "Sister Su Yu, do you think we are going fast?" In fact, when she thought of it, she felt a little unreal. If she hadn't given each other things, she had never thought that she would really start dealing with others. She used to fight for the good things in the past to get her turn. This time, she felt uneasy in her heart.
Su Yu said, "Hurry up, someone got married within three days of a blind date. Besides, you are different, you are all on the battlefield together, and you experience the war together, and your feelings are different."
Hearing Su Yu's words like this, Li Ping's heartache was gone.
…………
Su Yu felt that after the war, everything around him became better. On this day of the new year, Su Yu received a letter from Su Xiaozhi from the army. Because the war on the front line has ended, I have now returned to the camp to participate in training. However, the commendation has been accepted a few days ago, and he has been promoted from squad leader to platoon leader.
"...Sister, this honor does not belong to me alone, it belongs to those comrades who sacrificed. I feel heavy in my heart. I feel that my burden is heavier. Those comrades have sacrificed, I am still alive, and I have received it. I feel ashamed of these honors and awards. So I decided to stay in the southwest, where I was needed, and continue to struggle. Although the environment in the Northern Military Region is better than here, I feel that as a soldier, I should stay more In difficult places, only in this way can I accept these honors with a clear conscience..."
In the letter, Su Xiaozhi wrote a lot of his own thoughts. After reading it, Su Yu knew that her stupid brother was worried that she would be angry that he would stay in the southwest.
After all, when Xiaozhi joined the army, she said that she hoped that Su Xiaozhi would stay in the Northern Military Region. He even wanted Xiaozhi to take the registered permanent residence in Beijing.
"If you like it, can I stop you?" Su Yu smiled. She is not really that unkind. When I wanted Xiaozhi to be in the Northern Military Region, I also hoped that he could live.
Now that Xiaozhi has grown up and motivated by herself, she can't ask for it.
Xiaozhi really doesn't need her to worry about it now. Really went out of his own way.
So Su Yu immediately replied a letter to Xiaozhi, telling him that he, the older sister, is proud of him, and feels that he is now an excellent soldier and a proud younger brother. She also affirmed and supported Su Xiaozhi's decision to stay in the Southwest. He also told him that no matter where he is, he must bear in mind his responsibilities, be down-to-earth, and don't waste training because the war is over. Be prepared at all times.
They were sent along with the letters, some melon seeds and peanuts that Su Yu bought, and some cakes and candies from the food factory.
Su Xiaozhi can't come back for the New Year. Because of the war before, he couldn't send things there. Now the things are sent out, it is estimated that it will take years to receive them.
Song Dongzheng returned from Jinhe County on the first day of New Year's Eve.
He also brought back a pig thigh and a lamb thigh. Plus some pork. This meat is really big meat. It brightened the eyes of Song Dad and Song Ma. I feel that Song Dongzheng has made his family like a landlord family, and it is the kind of big landlord family who is not benevolent.
"Everything I bought was bought. I didn't use the people's stitches and stitches." Song Dongzheng immediately explained when he saw his parents' faces changed.
Su Yu said, "Yes, he discussed with me. We all think this is a special year. Eat well and try to be lucky. I won't let him do this in the future."
When Su Yu spoke, Dad Song and Ma Song's expressions improved.
Song Dongzheng felt that it was too unfair, it was simply a different treatment.
Of course, he didn't dare to resist. He had the lowest status in this family and had no human rights.
Mother Song took the big kitchen knife and divided the leg of pork and leg of lamb into several portions, preparing to get some as gifts. She also left a large portion for Su's family and asked Su Yu to take it back to her natal family for the New Year.
Su Yu was not polite. In her eyes, her mother-in-law and her mother-in-law were all the same, and they were not treated badly in the exchange of materials.
Of course, she deliberately asked Song's mother, "Mom, leave some better meat for Jianghu."
Song Ma said, "Jianghu is not easy to do with the troops."
The troops all eat big pot of rice, which is not enough to stuff their teeth.
Su Yu smiled and said, "Keep it here, maybe he will need it. For example, visiting friends and elders here."
"Yes, then I will leave a copy for him."
In the evening, Jiang Hu arrived in Jiangdong City.
Song's father and Song's mother were extremely happy, and they took good care of Jianghu this junior. After all, Jianghu's parents all sacrificed for the revolution. The old comrades of their group swore to take care of this child. Although Jiang Hu was later adopted by another chief, they still thought of the child.
This is the first Chinese New Year together in these years.
In the evening, Song's mother specially allowed Song's father to drink. Several people ate and listened to Jianghu's talk about the war.
Father Song happily patted the table. "All enemies are paper tigers!"
Then he greeted Jiang Hu, "Drink again, drink again, and sleep here when drunk. Your aunt has arranged for you. When the time comes, you and I will go to the same house. We can talk about it all night."
Jiang Hu coughed, "I still don't drink it. I have to get up early tomorrow."
Father Song said readily, "It's okay if you don't get up early. It's New Year, take a break."
"...Something." Jiang Hu said.
Song Dongzheng took the small wine glass and sipped it slowly, "Dad, I have business affairs."
"What business?" Father Song asked curiously. "Oh, needless to say military secrets, I know the rules."
Jiang Hu said, "No, yes, yes... I am going to see the subject tomorrow, and if possible... I will meet at the subject's home."
This is thunder on the ground.
Father Song and Mother Song said in surprise, "When did you get along? No, right here is your target?"
"Yeah." Jiang Hu was embarrassed to say, his blush was the same as monkey fart, but fortunately his skin was dark and it was not so obvious.
Su Yu couldn't stand it anymore, and said with a smile, "Parents, let me talk about it."
So I talked about Li Ping with Song Dad and Song Ma, "I was going to tell you, but I knew that Jianghu was coming, I didn't tell you in advance."
"Good thing, really good thing. This year is really getting better and better." Song Ma happily wiped her tears.
First the son got married, and now Jiang Hu has also found a partner.
And the war is over. From their perspective, after this battle is over, there should be peace for a long time.
The days to come will get better and better.
At the Li family of the military area compound, Li Ping also found Li Guoliang slowly, and talked to Li Guoliang about his object.
Li Guoliang almost squirted out a sip of tea.
This last time on the battlefield, the girl was abducted.
This is really...
"I'll see you first!" Li Guoliang said in a bad mood.
