Instead of going to the commune, I went directly to the post office and dialed the police station of the prefectural bus terminal from the public phone.

"Hey, hello, I'm Chen Dahe," as soon as the phone was connected, Chen Dahe hurriedly said, "Is it Director Tang?"

"Oh, it's Dahe," Tang Jie's voice came from the other end of the phone, "I'm Tang Jie, do you have anything to do?

"It's all right," Chen Dahe hurriedly said, "The money is correct, no problem, it's just that there is a problem with the ticket, I want to ask you." ”

"Is there a problem with the ticket?" Tang Jie's voice suddenly rose a little higher, "Dahe, we agreed before, we can use other tickets to replace it, but we can't go back." ”

"It's not to regret it," Chen Dahe said with a smile, "I'll just say it, Tang Suo, do you know that there is a bicycle ticket sandwiched in this pile of tickets?"

"Oh, you said this," Tang Jie's voice immediately relaxed, "Of course I know this, this ticket is what I put in, I tell you, this gift is for you, I was afraid that you wouldn't want it, so I stuffed it into other tickets, you just know it yourself, if there is any problem, let your secretary ask me." ”

Chen Dahe was a little surprised, this ticket was really given by them, or was it given to himself? This is inevitably too generous!

After being stunned for a few seconds, Chen Dahe came back to his senses, and almost forgot that this batch of goods was sold in the name of the commune, so he hurriedly said, "This is too valuable, and I didn't do anything, so I deserve it." ”

"I can afford it," Tang Jie laughed and said, "You have solved the material problem for us, otherwise our comrades in our institute will not think about having a good year this year, and that ticket is a little bit of everyone's heart,"

"Besides," Tang Jie's voice suddenly became much lower, "This ticket was originally awarded to us by the bureau, but we comrades are all bitter, and we can't make up the money with the ticket, so we just give it to you, and make the best use of it." ”

Hearing him say this, Chen Dahe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Then thank you Tang Suo." ”

"Haha, what's there to thank, okay, you can use that ticket with confidence, next time you come to the local committee, come to me again, and invite you to dinner then." ”

"Eh, okay. ”

After a few more words of greeting, Chen Dahe paid the phone bill, turned around and walked out of the post office, and was blown by the cold wind outside, and suddenly sobered up a lot.

The bicycle is in hand, but there is not much joy, so let's hurry home and discuss becoming a soldier.

When I returned home, everyone else hadn't come back yet, even the little sister didn't know where to go with the second sister, only Huang Yuzhi was at home.

"Dahe is back," Huang Yuzhi looked at him and said, "Is there something going on over there in Zhangzhuang?"

"It's a bit of a problem," Chen Dahe smiled, "I'll tell you when my dad and they all come back, so I don't have to say it twice." ”

Huang Yuzhi was stunned, "Yo, is it possible that it has something to do with our family?"

"Well," Chen Dahe nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing. ”

"It's good if it's not a bad thing," Huang Yuzhi didn't ask anymore although she was a little puzzled, and continued to take care of the dinner at home.

It was almost time for dinner, the family came back one after another, the family sat around the dinner table, Huang Yuzhi took the rice bowl and said, "Dahe was called by Secretary Zhang of Zhangzhuang Commune today, saying that there was something, and he didn't ask when he came back, saying that he would wait until you arrived. ”

"What else is this?" Chen Deshan stopped the chopsticks in his hand and turned his head to look at Chen Dahe, "What's the situation?"

Chen Dahe put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and squeezed out a smile on his face, "Before talking about this, let's talk about the good news,"

"Mom," Chen Dahe looked at Huang Yuzhi and smiled, "That ticket has been verified, it was given by them, and it can be used." ”

"Really?" Huang Yuzhi said in surprise, "Then tomorrow you will go to the prefectural committee and buy the car back, just in time for the New Year." ”

"What car?" Chen Deshan also put down his chopsticks, "I don't know how I feel." ”

"Don't you know now," Huang Yuzhi's face was full of joy, "Dahe sold those things, didn't he also collect some tickets, there was a bicycle ticket in it, I thought they were mistaken, but today Dahe called them to verify, and it was indeed they who gave it." ”

"Bike ticket?"

Before Chen Deshan could speak, Chen Dahong was already screaming.

"What's the name, I didn't buy it for you," Chen Dahe immediately poured cold water on him, "This is for the eldest to get married." ”

"For me?" Chen Dajiang pointed to his nose, his eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief, "Am I going to get married, why don't I know?"

"Dahe," Huang Yuzhi looked at Chen Dahe with a strange face, "Secretary Zhang is looking for you today, it won't be to introduce your brother, right?"

"No," Chen Dahe himself couldn't laugh or cry, "I mean, the eldest brother is not too young, it's almost time to get married, don't you have a bicycle ticket, just buy a car as a bride price, it's more convenient to find a partner." ”

"You don't have to worry about this," Chen Dajiang pouted, although the bicycle looked hot, but if he was urged to get married, he would rather not have the car.

"Okay," Chen Dahe smiled helplessly, he still whimsically thought, if the boss could get married, would he not want to join the army, it seemed that he was thinking too much.

"Ahem, then I'll tell you something else," Chen Dahe coughed dryly, looked at his family and said with a dry smile, "Secretary Zhang came to me today and said that there was a vacant place for joining the army, and he wanted to give this place to his eldest brother, so let me come back and ask him if he would like to go." ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole room suddenly fell silent, and the five of them looked at Chen Dahe in unison, and even the twelve-year-old little sister Chen Jihong stared at him.

"Joining the army? really?"

"And ask a fart, of course you want to go!"

"I'll go, I'll go!"

Huang Yuzhi, Chen Deshan and Chen Dajiang spoke together, the words were different, but the meaning was the same, and the attitude was very clear, go!

Knowing that this was the case, Chen Dahe could only smile bitterly in his heart, but he still wanted to persuade him again.

"Dad, the eldest brother will leave for at least three years, and if you want to hold your grandson, you will have to wait for at least another four or five years. ”

"Wait, wait, it's not bad in the past few years, if your brother can do it, go directly to the city. Chen Deshan put the rice bowl on the table heavily, his attitude was extremely resolute, and even his grandson leaned back.

Okay, Chen Dahe shifted the target, "Mom, he went to the army, you haven't seen anyone for several years, don't you want him?"

"What is there to think about," Huang Yuzhi's face was full of red light, "Defending the family and defending the country, that is glory, it doesn't matter if you don't see him for a few years, as long as he works hard in the army and doesn't embarrass us." ”

Well, it's all about collective honor.

"Big brother, if you eat the soldiers' rations, you have to go to the battlefield, and you have to fight with your life," Chen Dahe finally looked at the eldest brother and said, but the tone was no longer hopeful.

Sure enough, Chen Dajiang stood up suddenly, looking like he was at home, and even shouted a slogan, "The Red Army is not afraid of difficult expeditions, thousands of rivers and mountains are just waiting for leisure, as long as they can protect their families and defend the country, why give up this life!"

Chen Dahe looked at him in amazement, and then looked at the second elder who was extremely excited, hey, he didn't say anything, this matter is settled!
