Chapter 53: The Former Young Officer
In the past few days, it is almost the day when the soldiers of the army will be transferred and discharged, and unconsciously, there is already an atmosphere of reluctance among comrades-in-arms. This is the comradeship that the fighters, after three years, or even how much they have gathered.
When everyone remembered that they were about to leave the barracks, they went their separate ways.
In the days to come, there may not be many opportunities to see each other. Some comrades-in-arms may never have the opportunity to meet again. Even if you come from one place, due to family conditions or the pressure of economic life, you will not have a lot of time to meet.
No, in the office building of a certain military region, in a unit leader's office that is not luxurious but full of military atmosphere, a unit leader is talking to one of his own officers and subordinates.
"After the organization's decision, you now have two choices, one is to obey the organization's arrangement and go to Yili, Xinjiang, and the other is that you can transfer to other places. Of course, you can also choose to fend for yourself. In the leader's office, the leader of the unit talked to a young officer standing at his desk about the unit's policy arrangements for veterans this year.
"I still decided to change jobs, I didn't want to go to Yili, Xinjiang. "This matter, the leader of the unit also talked to the young officer about this matter before. Unexpectedly, this time the young officer still adhered to the decision made last time.
"Have you really thought about it? If you choose to transfer to a local area, you will be out of the army. If you go to Yili in Xinjiang and reclaim the border, it is still related to the army. "After listening to the decision of the young officer, the leadership of the unit once again confirmed the decision of the young officer.
"I've already decided, and I think it's better for me to change jobs to a local area, because I still have my parents in my hometown and need me to go back and take care of them. The young officer told the leaders of the unit why he did not go to Yili in Xinjiang.
"Besides, none of my comrades-in-arms are willing to go to Yili, Xinjiang. I went alone, and it didn't make much fun. The young officer continued. It seems that this young officer attaches great importance to family and comradeship. But when he is young, he is obviously not thoughtful about his future, but then again, who can be omniscient about his future!
"Let me tell you, it will be much better for you to change jobs to Yili in Xinjiang than for you to return to your hometown. Maybe you can enter enterprises and institutions after you pass. When the time comes, you can still be promoted or something......" The leader of the unit said to the young officer, the benefits of going to Yili in Xinjiang.
"When I go back to the local area, I can still enter enterprises and institutions. By the way, you can also take care of your elderly parents. "After listening to the words of the leadership of the unit, the young officer said that he could enjoy the same treatment when he returned to the place.
"Well, now that you've decided, I won't advise you anymore. Finally, the leader of the unit said earnestly.
………
The comrades-in-arms of the young officers have all left the army one after another, transferred jobs and returned to the localities, or went to the sea to do business. Of course, there are also comrades-in-arms who continue to stay in the army and finally enter the upper echelons of the military.
However, the young officer we are talking about was not able to stay in the army. This year, due to the policy arrangement of veterans of the army, it was finally his turn to change jobs and go home.
Soon, the young officer, in the farewell of his comrades-in-arms, left the army, left the barracks, and returned to the place where he was born and raised. After that, this young officer successfully entered the enterprises and institutions in the county.
As this young officer, was born in the countryside of the countryside. Coupled with the integrity and fortitude of the soldiers, his interpersonal relationship in the unit is not very good. In addition, he came from the countryside, and he was very disgusted with the officialdom style of forming gangs and factions, as well as the accidents involving human feelings, and it was difficult for him to adapt to the working atmosphere of the unit. At the same time, without the care of the senior leaders of the unit, it is not uncommon for him to be excluded in the unit.
In the end, I don't know what the reason is, this young officer at that time couldn't stand the exclusion of his colleagues in the unit, or he had other ideas. He returned to his rural hometown in the ravine of the countryside and lived his ordinary peasant life.
Many comrades-in-arms in the army back then, when he was working in the county unit, he still had contact from time to time. However, after returning to his hometown, this kind of contact with his comrades-in-arms gradually decreased, until there was no news in the end.
In the days that followed, the young officer got married and had children in the countryside and lived an ordinary life.
Sometimes, he would also hear some news about Yili in Xinjiang, including a person who went to Yili in Xinjiang in his early years and returned to his hometown to visit his relatives and told him about the Yili side of Xinjiang and how well the production and construction corps in Yili has developed with the support of national policies.
This young officer sometimes wonders if he had chosen to go to Xinjiang and engage in production and construction in Xinjiang, would his life be different from what he is now. If he goes, what will his life be like now?
In fact, he knew very well in his heart that he went to Xinjiang. If you are lucky, you can enter enterprises and institutions or large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises. If you're unlucky, you'll still be working in the fields as you are now.
However, I heard from the person who came back to visit relatives that in Yili, Xinjiang, agriculture and farming are all produced by mechanization, and the sheep on the hillside are also free-ranged in groups. They are now paid every month in the group.
Those fields are all in patches, unlike the poor ravines they have here, where they have to climb the hill every day to go out to plant.
When the young officer heard these words, he would always be alone, in a daze, as if thinking about something. After that, he would giggle again and continue to do his farm work.
This young officer is Zhang Dequan's father, Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin rarely mentions this kind of life experience in front of his children, Zhang Dequan and they only know that his father was an officer in the army back then, and later transferred home and became an out-and-out farmer. Among them, the specific things that happened, Zhang Dequan and they are not very clear.
When Zhang Dequan received the financial compensation, Liu Xiaoshu called Zhang Lin to explain the matter. Zhang Lin's heart was still a little excited.
What this young officer didn't expect was his regrets back then. Finally, it will not affect his son, because his son, with this money, can do a good job. And not like him, who can only be busy in this ravine for the rest of his life.
Originally, he had the opportunity and didn't have to come back, but when he was young and ignorant, how could he know that the next life would be so difficult.
All along, Zhang Lin hoped that his choice back then would no longer affect his son's life. When Zhang Dequan wanted to give up continuing to take the university entrance examination, it was for this reason that he did not try his best to resist his son and find Zhang Dequan's own life.
Zhang Lin hopes that Zhang Dequan can break out of a new life through his own efforts. This kind of life is not subject to any restrictions by Zhang Lin, or even any influence.
When he knew that Zhang Dequan had a large sum of money, Zhang Lin thought about it all night.
In Zhang Lin's heart, what he was most worried about was whether Zhang Dequan would keep the money. Ordinary people say that the money you get is easy to come by, and it will be easy to go. For money that is not earned by yourself, it is often lost inadvertently.
Zhang Lin is a low-key person, in order to prevent Zhang Dequan from getting a sum of ill-gotten gains, everyone in the village knows about it. Therefore, Zhang Lin did not choose to go to Zhang Ergou's house in the village to call Zhang Dequan, but chose the place of the call in the public telephone hall in the town.
In order to allow Zhang Dequan to make good use of this money, Zhang Lin felt that he had to tell his son no matter what, remind Zhang Dequan, and knock on his son.
After all, Zhang Dequan is still a child who has just turned 19 years old. A young kid who has just entered the society, can withstand so many social temptations. It's not good, this money, in Zhang Dequan's hands, has been lost unconsciously.
Thinking of such a thing, if it really happened to Zhang Dequan, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would be wasted unconsciously. In Zhang Lin's view, such a result is unacceptable to him no matter what. He couldn't let the ignorance of his youth reappear in his son again.
Thinking of these things, Zhang Lin's heart couldn't help but worry.
In the eyes of parents, their children, no matter how old they are, whether they have a family or not, in their eyes, are still a child. Such an idea is also obvious to Zhang Lin, who is already a father.
Early the next morning, Zhang Lin came to the town. He really wanted to make a phone call and warn his son that when he has money, he must not mess around casually.
Otherwise, the money that is too much or too little will soon be lost.
When Zhang Lin came to the town, he found a public telephone office. After he sat down, he immediately dialed Zhang Dequan's mobile phone. What Zhang Lin didn't expect was that he called his son's mobile phone several times, but his son didn't answer.
How could this be? He didn't even answer Lao Tzu's phone? When Zhang Lin dialed two or three times, Zhang Dequan still didn't answer his father's phone.
Just when Zhang Lin wanted to give up, but he was unwilling, his son finally answered his call. After listening to his son's explanation, he remembered that he had called a public phone. Mistaken for a harassing phone call by his son.
Then, there was the previous call between father and son.
After talking to his son on the phone, after listening to his son's words, Zhang Lin's heart was finally relieved. At least from the tone of his son's voice, it was not clear that his son had the intention of squandering this huge amount of money.
Zhang Lin thought about it, and that's all he could do. Whether his persuasion is effective or not in the end can only depend on his son's own creation.
After all, it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen.
The first pot of gold in his life can be regarded as appearing in front of his son, whether he can grasp it in the end, such a life opportunity, whether there is a good future, can only depend on his son himself.
After all, everyone has their own life, and it's okay to do what you have to do.
