Chapter 378: Take it
"As long as you cross this threshold, the rest is up to your own ability. Qiao Hongzhi clenched his fist and waved it into the air, "With our strength, is it possible that we can't get out of the mix?"
Seeing this, Qiao Sigu patted Qiao Hongzhi's arm, "Xiaozhi, speak well." ”
That's true. Xu Yu nodded, "What are you going to bring?"
"Basic household items, and some medicines. Qiao Hong thought about it, and after going back, he begged Qiao Jiayue to leave a medicine for Xu Yu as well.
Xu Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, who would not know how scarce the medicine is these days, looking at what Qiao Hongzhi said, there seem to be a lot of them at home?
"I'm going to make something to eat, you talk. Seeing that she couldn't interject, Aunt Qiao wanted to go to the kitchen to cook something to eat.
"Xu Yu, you can take us for a walk in the Changshan brigade. Lan Xiangbin said, took the lead in getting up and going out of the door, just to talk about some things.
Lan Xiangbin actually had a guess that he was able to enlist in the army, and it should be what Grandpa Lan used.
And Xu Yu is not a member of the Lu family, why the entire Changshan Brigade only chooses him, which makes people think a lot.
Before Grandpa Lu passed away, did he make special arrangements?
On the way, Lan Xiangbin tried a few words, but found that Xu Yu seemed to be really unclear, so he changed the topic.
Xu Yu actually heard Lan Xiangbin's temptation, but he really didn't know the situation, so he simply avoided talking about it.
And Qiao Hongzhi understood it, but he didn't care.
What about the relationship, anyway, the important thing is the result, not the process.
He dared to say that he had enlisted in the army, and there was definitely someone behind him who had helped.
The involvement behind these is not something they can meddle in.
"After enlisting in the army, we all behaved well and didn't embarrass our families. Qiao Hongzhi put his arm around Lan Xiangbin and Xu Yu's shoulders, "Earn the military merit medal, I want to give it to Yue'er." ”
"......" Lan Xiangbin shook his head helplessly, he was accustomed to Qiao Hong's pain for his sister.
Xu Yu was stunned for a while.
After the notice came out, within two days, Qiao Hong told them to go to the commune to gather, and finally all the recruits gathered, and then went to a certain barracks.
Before leaving, Xu Yu specially came to the Alpine Brigade.
In addition to taking medicine, Xu Yu also wanted to ask Qiao Jiayue something.
"Shoulder bag?" Qiao Jiayue was very surprised, she didn't expect that after so many years, Xu Yu still remembered the shoulder bag.
"That's right. Xu Yu lowered his eyes, a little nervous in his heart, "Can I exchange something else with you?"
This satchel has really been rarely used by Qiao Jiayue in recent years, because she has a new alternative, a satchel made of flower cloth spliced by Qiao's mother, which is much better-looking.
"I have to ask my aunt about this bag. Strictly speaking, this satchel does not belong to her alone, and Qiao Jiayue feels that she can't dispose of it without permission.
Qiao's mother couldn't help but be stunned after listening to Qiao Jiayue's words, "The satchel? ”
That satchel didn't mean much to Qiao's mother.
Xu Yu was very surprised in his heart, he could get it so easily!
He touched the faded five-pointed star on his head, couldn't help pursing his lips, and said to Qiao Jiayue: "What do you want, I will send it back to you later." ”
Like what Qiao Hongzhi said, he can get bullet casings, military medals or something.
"Ah, I don't have anything I want, you can take it, it's okay. Qiao Jiayue stuffed the satchel into Xu Yu's hand and said with a smile, "Don't be so polite." ”
On the day of departure, the wind was mild and the weather was very good.
The members spontaneously gathered at the team headquarters, watching Qiao Hongzhi and Lan Xiangbin put on red scarves and red flowers, their hearts were extremely excited, and the cheers lingered in the sky above the team headquarters for a long time.
Qiao Hongzhi and Lan Xiangbin, who were wearing green military uniforms, were so handsome that they caused many people to scream, and planted a deep seed in the young hearts of the children.
However, those educated youths who cut into the queue regretted it a little, they knew that going to the countryside was like this, they should have stayed in the city to sign up for the army, and enlisting in the army was better than the treatment of going to the countryside.
It's a pity that they don't have a chance to choose again.
Qiao Jiayue hugged Qiao Hongzhi's waist, "Big brother, when you arrive, you must write to us, and I will send you something." ”
"Good. Qiao Hongzhi hugged Qiao Jiayue and said to his three younger brothers and sisters: "You all have to be obedient, listen to Abba and Auntie, do you know?"
Qiao Hongzhi also hurried to speak, even though he had said it many times at home before, he still felt that there were still many flowers that he had not explained.
The time was almost up, and the team played a festive tune with the instruments that they had found with great difficulty, and the members spontaneously gathered around both sides of the road to see them off.
After the tractor started, there were also members who followed behind to see it off, and it was not stopped until it was sent to the brick kiln factory at the end of the village.
Qiao Hongzhi and Lan Xiangbin stood in the car body, constantly waving their hands behind them.
The tractor turned two corners and completely left all the members behind.
Qiao Hongzhi sat down, stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes, and said to Lan Xiangbin on the side, "It's over, I've just set off, and I'm starting to feel homesick." ”
"When I'm homesick, I'll send a letter back. Lan Xiangbin said lightly, he was also very reluctant.
After arriving at the commune, Qiao Hongzhi and Lan Xiangbin joined with several other people, and the five of them were once again warmly welcomed by the commune members.
When they stepped on the army-green truck, looking at the people in the truck who were about the same age as themselves, Qiao Hongzhi knew that they could only keep moving forward.
All the members of the club left, and Qiao Jiayue and her family were still standing at the intersection, without much joy on their faces.
"Auntie, I miss my eldest brother, it must be very hard in the army. Qiao Jiayue muffled her voice, and the food was definitely not as good as at home.
Qiao Hongliang nodded vigorously, before Qiao Hongzhi left, he sent him a family photo of their family, as long as he was homesick, he could take it out and take a look.
"This is the path that your eldest brother must go through, go in and train for a few years, and when you come out of the army, there will be more choices. Father Qiao said lightly.
But there are too many accidents here, and no one knows how risky the mission is, and everything can only be thought in a good direction.
"Go back, and when your eldest brother settles down, write to him and send him a package. Mother Qiao patted the heads of the three children, they had been standing here long enough.
Other people's families are happy when they have children to serve in the army, but only their families are full of sorrow.
There is one less person in the family, and everyone is quite unaccustomed to it, sometimes when I call my name and find that no one answers, I will react after a while.
However, since then, when Qiao Jiayue goes out again, there are always people to chat with her, and in the end, the topic can always turn to Qiao Hongzhi.
Qiao Jiayue coped with all kinds of strange questions, many of which she didn't know the answers, so she simply hid when she saw someone.
Chen Mian envied Qiao Jiayue, "I'm still looking forward to my eldest brother becoming a soldier too, who knew that he was so stupid that he couldn't pass the audit." ”
Chen Bai listened to Chen Mian's complaints, and couldn't help frowning, extremely aggrieved, "Mianmian, it's not that I'm stupid, it's that I'm not strong enough, and people don't want it." ”
Chen Mian glanced at Chen Bai, his eyes were a little disgusted, his brother was more delicate, he was tanned, he looked thin and weak, and his body was not as good as some girls in the team.
"Who told you not to eat well. Chen Mian complained a few more words, and took Qiao Jiayue's hand, "Sister Yue'er, let's go to the mountains to play." ”
