Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Soldier's Dream

People born from 1949 to before the 70s of the founding of the People's Republic of China have received unprecedented glory and respect for the profession of military personnel because of the influence of the social environment at that time! And because of the viewing of war-themed movies, novels, and villain books, everyone has a soldier's dream in their hearts!

Wang Linlin has had a dream of being a soldier since he was a child, not only influenced by war-themed movies and books, but also by the worship of heroes and the admiration of soldiers! The most important thing is that he was born in a revolutionary family: his grandfather was a revolutionary martyr, his uncle was a veteran of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, his father was also a veteran in the early 60s, and there were also active soldiers such as his uncle and cousin, so his dream of being a soldier was stronger than anyone else!

Wang Linlin's cousin, Cheng Ru, served in the naval headquarters in Beijing. He was a veteran of the 70s and did not return to the old city until the mid-80s. He is a burly man, with a particularly bold personality, and especially a loud voice. I remember that at that time, he had many nephews and nieces like Wang Forest in the village, and everyone respected and liked him. Among them, there is a phenomenon that is particularly interesting: whenever there are loud words or hearty laughter floating over the village, everyone will immediately know: this is Uncle Cheng Ru is here! Because these sounds are very much like a powerful magnetic field, attracting many adults and children in the village to welcome them......

Uncle Cheng Ru respects the old lady as if she were his own family, and he is even more in love with Wang Yongqian's character. Perhaps because of his love for the house and Wu, he also loves Wang Linlin, a well-behaved nephew, so the relationship between the two families gets along very well.

Every time Cheng Ru's uncle returned to his hometown to visit relatives, he would bring a special gift - a cockade and a collar badge, because this was the favorite of his nephew Wang Linlin. The time for visiting relatives in the army is generally very short, and there are many people and things to be done when Cheng Ru's uncle returns, so he occasionally forgets to hand over the gift to his nephew. Wang Linlin saw people he respected and liked, but he was always unwilling to do without his beloved things, so he would often walk a few miles to go to the other party's house; only when the dazzling five-pointed red star and the bright red collar badge were held in his hand, he was the happiest!

Now, now that the goal has been set, the next step is to act, and quickly, because the propaganda work on the conscription has already begun.

People, with a goal, there is motivation. In fact, it is not enough to have a goal and motivation to do something, it is necessary to have in-depth understanding, thinking and careful deployment before it is possible to achieve the set goal. Wang Linlin has done a lot of homework on the realization of this goal, and it can be said that the ending is also perfect.

First of all, Wang Forest went to the county people's armed forces department at that time, and he was received by a young staff officer. He reported in detail all about himself, expressed his wishes, consulted on the requirements for conscription......

The staff comrade nodded incessantly and replied with a smile: "Your personal situation fully meets the requirements for conscription, and we praise and welcome your wishes and ideas." ”

"I am currently working in the unit, will this have any impact on joining the army in the future?" In fact, Wang Linlin asked this article on behalf of his family, because this article is very important.

"In a situation like yours, it basically doesn't matter. If you can be promoted to a military cadre or take the military academy examination, it is a different matter; if you return from the end of your service, you can arrange a new job according to the civil affairs department, or you can return to your original unit to work. The most important thing is that according to the current state policy, in the case of yours, the unit will pay you a lump sum of your salary for the whole year every year......" The staff officer replied in great detail. Later, he added with a smile: "Oh, now the state has a lot of good policies for enlisting in the army. Nowadays, in many places across the country, even the conscripts with rural household registration have corresponding subsidies, and I believe that our documents here will also come down soon......"

Dreams are the expectations and beauty of the heart, chasing dreams requires hard work and perseverance, and realizing dreams is everyone's lifelong pursuit and ideals!

Walking out of the gate of the People's Armed Forces Department, Wang Linlin's heart was both down-to-earth and relaxed. He felt his feet already step through the door of the barracks.

People, when they have a good idea or a major decision, they always want to inform the nearest peopleβ€”β€” which is not only a kind of sharing, but also a way to listen to the opinions and ideas of the other party.

Because sister Wang Yaqin and Sister Ni Mei are the closest and the best people to talk to, they are the first people to know.

After hearing this, Ni Mei smiled and said: "Just your little head, you have a lot of ideas! It sounds pretty good, but you have to think about it yourself; if you decide, I will support you 100%!"

Wang Yaqin's expression was a little complicated after hearing this, and she slowly swallowed: "I think your decision is good, but it's hard to say it at home, especially grandma'......"

In fact, this is also the problem that Wang Forest is most worried about, but he pretended to be relaxed and said: "Sister, as long as you can understand me~ support me, I can handle the rest by myself!"

Wang Yaqin was a little skeptical about her brother's confidence, because this brother was the old lady's treasure, but when she saw her brother's confidence and happiness, she didn't say anything more, just smiled bitterly and patted him on the shoulder......

Deputy Director Ni was the third person to know, he wanted to persuade Wang Forest to stay, but thinking about what happened to the other party since he went to work, he said: "The idea that you want to be a soldier is very good, but you have to listen to the opinions of your family." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Ni, but I want to ask you for one thing: if my father is going to object at that time, I will have to persuade you more. Wang Forest asked carefully.

"Yo, you're pretty smart, little one! Knowing that I have a good relationship with your father, that's fine. The other party replied with a smile.

Just when Wang Forest was smirking after hearing this, Deputy Factory Director Ni suddenly patted his head and said: "It's not good! You still have a punishment in the early stage, I have to hurry up and check the file: see if there is anything inside, it will be very troublesome if you don't have a military and political trial!"

Looking at the back of Deputy Director Ni, Wang Linlin's inner respect and emotion are beyond words.

Later, Deputy Director Ni said: There is nothing in the file except for some forms. I was very happy at the time, thinking that the young man was innocent, and the future file must be full of praise and awards......

The young students were simple and energetic, and they gave them a thumbs up one after another when they learned about it, and they all said two words -- "support"! In particular, Ding Yuandong said: "You go to the army, and we go to college." After a few years, we come back together, and that's called the same path. In the end, everyone discussed the matter of Wang Linlin, and everyone present had a gathering together.

At school, the homeroom teacher said: "In my decades of teaching career, the students in your class are the best and the best! I am very sorry that you failed to take the college entrance examination, but I am really happy for you when you think of joining the army and joining the Great Wall of Steel to defend the motherland!"

Chinese teacher Xie Hao said: "I know that you like literature, and I hope you can stick to it in the future!" and gave several literary books and poetry magazines.

Li Wenfeng, an English teacher, said: "The outside world is very big and exciting, and you have to look at things with the eyes of the world. Only by constantly observing, thinking and learning can we grow and progress rapidly!"

In the end, Wang Linlin met Principal Wu Yifan, and he said earnestly: "Good man, it's a good thing to be able to defend the country." Young people should explore the world and broaden their horizons. In addition, you should read more books, make more friends, and have more experience, which will be conducive to your own growth and maturity!"
