Because at that time, being a soldier was not as good as it is now.

For two years of compulsory service, those with excellent performance can apply for military schools of relevant categories during their military service, and enjoy the preferential treatment of low internal scores, not to mention the salary and allowance of soldiers.

If you are lucky enough to be admitted to a good military school, not to mention the distribution and welfare uniformity, it is a good career that can last a lifetime.

In addition, the income level of officers has now reached the middle-income level of ordinary cities, which makes soldiers the envy of everyone.

But Gu Zheng, the soldiers in this world are not like this.

Being a soldier here is really serving the people, and it is purely a sad choice to repay the country with enthusiasm.

Let's not talk about the allowance level below the average income of only eight dollars and two cents during the first two years of the compulsory soldier.

Let's just say that the government's new policy of no distribution after leaving the army every two years has made this group of soldiers the most embarrassing group of people in this society.

They have not yet bought out the current high military age, unless they are poor families, or families in the ravines and ravines who need to use soldiers to get out, and now that life is getting better and better, few children from urban families are willing to be this big soldier.

What's more, if a soldier takes obedience to orders as his own responsibility, where can he compare to the freedom to do other professions?

The training is hard, there are many rules, this is all false, only one, now the country's borders are quite unstable, when these two years of soldiers, maybe when they will go to the battlefield, with this can take He Hongqi's life.

Therefore, now He Hongqi is smoking her sister-in-law, and at the same time crying about her uselessness.

This kind of sincere sadness is much more touching than Gu Fenghua's fake crying.

Although the grandmother of the Gu family is an eccentric person, she can't stand Gu Zheng is also her grandson, seeing He Hongqi crying like this, her heart softened, looking at that appearance, I am afraid that she will loosen her mouth and give this quota directly to Gu Zheng.

This is not good, Gu Zheng, who has been monitoring the situation on the field all the time, opened his mouth again when Grandma Gu's lips suddenly trembled twice.

"Mom, don't fight! Actually, I've had this idea for a long time, and it's not a temporary idea at all!"

"How could such a sacred and serious decision to be a soldier be because of the crying of the eldest aunt and cousin...... Can you make me compromise?"

"Actually, in our school, as early as the pre-graduation willingness survey, someone from the military recruitment office came to consult. ”

At that time, this desire was born in my heart, and as time went on, this desire not only did not decrease, but became stronger and stronger. ”

"Mom, I want to be a good man who protects my family and the country, I want to protect this beautiful land, I want to see the tears of happiness in every family, and I look forward to the prosperity and strength of my motherland. ”

"There must always be people who endure hardships, sacrifices, and dedication in silence. ”

"I hope this person can be me, Gu Zheng. ”

"So Mom, don't fight, you can give the position of a rubber shoe factory worker to your cousin. ”

After speaking, Gu Zheng turned his gaze to the one at home since the farce began...... Just the direction of Gu Yongjun, who didn't say a word.

This is the pillar of their second room, and it is also the only heavyweight who can persuade He Hongqi.

Gu Zheng believed that he was the only person in the family who supported him because of his father's name.

Sure enough, after the father and son glanced at each other thoughtfully, the silent man spoke at this time.

"Gu Zheng, can you be responsible for what you said and what you did?"

"I can!"

After seeing his son, who was still a little thin, nodded firmly, Gu Yongjun said again with relief, "Well, you are not young, it's time to take responsibility for your own life." ”

"Since we said that we were going to join the army, then let's go and prepare well. ”

"When will the conscription start, Dad will look at the time and take you to participate. ”

I'm waiting for your words, Dad!

Hearing this, Gu Zheng's face was overjoyed, and the small words followed: "Tomorrow weekend, it happens to be the first day of conscription, Dad, we should fill in the conscription information form sooner rather than later?"

Hearing that his son had even inquired about this clearly, Gu Yongjun's face showed a smile of relief, being a soldier was really not a whim of his son for a while, his eldest son had finally grown up.

The two chatted happily on the side, and arranged the follow-up things.

And He Hongqi, who was dangled by their decision...... But she looked around blankly, and found that the grandfather of this family had already knocked the cigarette bag and pot and walked away, and she could only reluctantly get up from her own concubine, as if there was no such person under her feet...... casually came to the side of the Gu family and the grandfather, and returned to the original state of whispering, planning to persuade these two inexplicable convulsions of the close people again, don't be impulsive, completely forget how she fought to the death just now.

If you lose this job, you can lose it, but don't let your son go to the recruiting office where he suffers and has no future.

For a while, the second room of the Gu family was happy, and only one mother and daughter were left lying on the ground, a mother and daughter in a big room kneeling on the ground.

But these two don't care about the embarrassment at this time.

After a short moment of silence, a surprised smile appeared on Gu Fenghua's face, and he hurriedly helped the mother who still had a big footprint on her face from the ground.

Anyway, this job belongs to her Gu Fenghua.

Now that the goal has been achieved, then they will also think about the good of Gu Zheng's family in the second room, and they will not care about the miserable process of the other party bullying them.

Finally, the last two of them limped away, and Gu Zheng's room once again returned to its original peaceful state.

The two-room family belonging to Lao Gu's family, but because of the decision of the owner of this room, they quarreled all night and quarreled all night.

Let Gu Ning, the younger brother of Gu who went to Dongshan Park to play with his classmates for a day and came back, was foggy, and with the smell of sweat, he squeezed into the neat quilt that Gu Zheng had just cleaned up.

"Brother, what's wrong? Where's the glass in our room? It was smashed by our parents and our parents?"

"Oh, our dad has grown up lately, and he dares to do it with our mother!

"But it's hard for our brothers, sleeping in a leaky room. Hey, I said brother, what kind of expression do you have, don't kick me!"

Gu Zheng, who was so troubled by Gu Ning that he woke up halfway through sleep, yawned a lot, and muttered without taking it seriously at all: "Sleep, it's not that the two of them quarrel, you will know when you get up early tomorrow." ”

"I don't know how to take a bath and then sleep, it's stinking to death!" "Hehe" Gu Ning didn't take the words of this brother who was only two years older than him to heart at all, and replied that he disliked him, in fact, he was the best brother in the family to talk to.

Gu Ning, who has a big heart, doesn't think much about it, the honest Gu Zheng never talks nonsense about him, so he will get up tomorrow morning and ask again.

This Gu Ning slept very well, and when he opened his eyes again, he was hooked up by the smell of soy milk fritters.

When he walked to the shared bathroom in the corridor with a ceramic cup for brushing his teeth and a toothbrush in his mouth, he saw these neighbors who were very familiar to him on weekdays...... They looked at him with a particularly sympathetic look.

"What's wrong?"

"Poof" Gu Ning, who was dipped in a brush of tooth powder, stuffed this hairy toothbrush into his mouth, and did not forget to ask his good friends who played with him around him.

As a small speaker in the family building of the factory staff who witnessed the war of Lao Gu's family yesterday, the little partner is the one who deserves it...... gave Gu Ning a glimpse of yesterday's farce.

"Your cousin has a big belly with others, and she is still a high-ranking official, and people have said that if you don't give a worker's position, their family will not recognize your cousin as a person. ”

"Then, your mother, oh, no, of course Aunt He disagreed, saying that the quota was for your eldest brother. ”

"Then, the glass of your house was smashed, and your brother's honest man said that he was going to be a soldier. ”

"What??" Hearing this, Gu Ning's mouth instantly opened because of surprise, and with a click, his toothbrush, which was not very strong, fell to the ground, gurgling...... It rolled down into the sewage ditch next to the bathroom wall.

Let Gu Ning, who reacted later, don't mention the distressed one.

Now he is angry and angry.

The angry thing is, how can his brother be such an honest person who is easy to bully, this is forced by the family to become a soldier.

What is angry is that he has to go to the park to play for a day in order to play two basketballs yesterday, according to what his friend said yesterday, if he Gu Ning was at home, he would definitely not be in such a state where he couldn't end up now.

Thinking of Gu Ning here, the more he thought about it, the more he was embarrassed, he didn't even bother to catch a toothbrush, and after rinsing his mouth a few times, he went straight to the big dining room where Lao Gu's family was eating with a porcelain jar.

said that it was a large dining room, so it was still a gold paste for the Gu family's dining table.

The family building in their factory area is a standard one-bedroom dormitory building, and every household is such an area, no matter how big the family is, they have to endure it.

If it weren't for the fact that the Gu family all worked in this factory, I am afraid that they would not be able to make up this private board house where everyone would eat together.

This is also thanks to Grandpa Gu, Gu Boss, Gu Lao Er and Gu Xiaomei's family of four, everyone was assigned a dormitory room, and then after the internal exchange in the factory, the four families were brought together. Door-to-door occupies the easternmost head of the dormitory.

The area that should belong to the dormitory area is automatically taken by the old Gu family as their own territory.

On the open space of a few square meters at the top, let them pull the cement and sand to build a particularly simple stove room, in which a huge dining table is placed, and the family can get together for a reunion meal.

No, Gu Ning, who rushed out of the water room, rushed to the big dining room where the family would inevitably come, to find the head of this family, Grandpa Gu, to ask for an explanation for his brother.

Who would have thought that Gu Ning had just broken into the dining room with a fierce attitude, and he saw that the people at this big table were putting on a demented face and didn't pay attention to him...... Qi brushed and stared at Gu Zheng, who was sitting at the bottom of the dinner table, as if he knew his brother for the first time, inexplicably dazed.

At this time, Gu Zheng, under the gaze of this kind of gaze, was calm and calm, quite a general, he slowly pressed a fried golden crispy fritters into a ceramic bowl filled with soybean milk with chopsticks, and talked with his uncle about the follow-up conditions of yesterday's incident.

"Uncle, what about yesterday's incident, in fact, I still have a little idea here, you listen, I said, if you think I am right, you can nod, the head of our Gu family's family will always be our grandfather, and when the old man speaks, we will do what grandpa wants, what do you think?"

Hearing Gu Zheng's words without a beginning or an end, the people in the family who were immersed in sucking fritters raised their heads in unison.

As the second spokesperson in the family, this Uncle Gu first glanced at his second brother, who was at a loss, and then became happy: "Okay, Gu Zheng, you are also an adult, so can you tell me what you think?"

Hearing this, Gu Zheng immediately nodded, and said this matter in a simple and clear way.

"Uncle, it's not me who I said, my cousin is looking for this object, and our family has to keep a hand. ”

"People always say that the high family marries a daughter, and the low family marries a daughter-in-law, although the new era is not prosperous, but we must always remember that the cousin and her object, the family status of the two families is not equal. ”

Then in the future, my cousin's lifelong happiness will depend on the man's love for her. ”

"If the man is a good one, he is like my cousin, and he cares if my cousin has a job as a worker?"

"Unless it's my cousin who brags about being a worker from the beginning, doesn't this cousin-in-law know what my cousin is doing when he's dealing with him?"

"He knows, he's still like that, does this mean that he doesn't care what my cousin is, he just likes my cousin?"

"So, my cousin doesn't need to use this job to increase her worth, and our family can save a particularly valuable place for those who are really in need. ”

"Of course, this person is naturally not me, you see that I have a younger brother behind me, who is two years younger than me, if I go to join the army, even if it is my cousin's turn. ”

Hearing this, He Hongqi's eyes lit up.

She just said, she He Hongqi is honest, but she will never give birth to a stupid person, it turns out that Gu Zheng is waiting for her uncle in this place.

Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Uncle Gu's direction with a tacit understanding, so that he was stunned for a moment when he was watched by everyone, and when the eldest uncle on the side was just about to say something, his uncle raised his chopsticks to stop his wife's scolding, and walked towards Gu Zheng with an inexplicable smile: "What do you mean, nephew?"

"We are all members of the old Gu family, and I am your elder, if you have something to say, just say it. ”

Hearing this, Gu Zheng immediately straightened up, and after clamping the fritters with his hands, he said his request to his uncle in a particularly shameless manner.

"I just said, in addition to the grandfather in this family, the uncle is an understanding person, and I will say it directly to the little nephew. ”

"That job, my brother Gu Ning can also do without, but the most taboo thing in the family is that a bowl of water is uneven, our family has given up such a big benefit, and the uncle can't just rely on a thank you to finish the job. ”

"You always have to pay the corresponding benefits to be worthy of the family, right?"

"Otherwise, there is always a breath in the hearts of those who have been bullied, and if they are released it, it will become a source of chaos. ”

"I don't think my uncle wants to see grandpa a hundred years later, our two families won't get along for one job, right?"

"Oops!"

Before Gu Zheng finished speaking, he received a chopstick on his head.

Grandpa Gu, who was old and strong, was staring at this grandson who had suddenly become smart with his eyes like copper bells.

"You little rabbit, do you curse your grandfather like that? ”

Gu Zheng was not angry when he saw who hit him, he smiled and stuffed the fritters into his mouth, just waiting for the uncle to send him a message.

And Gu Ning, who heard the whole process, suddenly felt very relieved, finally it was not their family that was taken advantage of anymore, he had to sit and listen to what this shrewd uncle was going to say.

If he can't be satisfied, he will go to work.

Although he didn't care about being a worker at all, it wouldn't work without his Gu Ning's consent.

Thinking of this, Gu Ning grinned, and moved a bench to squeeze next to Gu Zheng, from the big basket in the middle of the big round table...... also pulled out a fritter and soaked it in Gu Zheng's big bowl.

The uncle, who was sitting across the table, saw that the most troublesome prickly head in the house actually entered the dining room at this time, the color of his face changed a few times, and after weighing the gains and losses, he said a compensation after consideration.

"Second brother, don't you see if this will work. ”

"Now there are those who have the kind of rich people who want to find an iron job for their children, and they are staring at the kind of families with the children of workers who do not have many children. ”

"I don't need the vacancy at home, so it's better to sell it to unfamiliar relatives than to sell it to these people who have ideas. ”

"Our relatives are in the way, I won't tell you anything, there are 150 yuan a seat outside, plus the gifts for the recruitment office on the top, a set of procedures is completed, and there is always 180 yuan. ”

"In this way, isn't Da Zhengzi going to be a soldier? That's a bitter place, I, who is an uncle, give Da Zhengzi 150 yuan, just as my family feels sorry for my eldest nephew. ”

"You said you didn't do it?"

Hearing this, Gu Yongjun looked at the location of his eldest son, and after seeing the other party and muttering for a moment, he nodded, and then turned his gaze to the real master of this family, where Grandpa Gu was.

This grandfather, who has been eating hard from beginning to end, has now reached the stage of wrapping up.
