Chapter 57: Joining the Army
After school in the afternoon, my father and another partner drove more than 40 ducks to the paddy field, the ducks were playing in the water, and my father was playing screws in the ditch. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Luo Xiaoyu was thinking, maybe ducks, paddy fields, and his father wearing a straw hat formed a 'duck release picture' ink painting, but at that time, food and clothing were all problems, and he was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery.
In the 58th year, when the steel was smelted, every family had to pay scrap iron, and even the thousand-armed Guanyin on the shrine of my father's family was robbed by the commune.
My father was already a middle school student at that time, and his monthly order was 38 catties of fine grain, but the production team deducted the rations of their 15 middle school students, a small bowl of rice at noon, and thick porridge in the afternoon.............
Once, my father couldn't walk far with sweat and couldn't walk while carrying something, so my father led the students to find the production team leader to discuss whether they could weigh the food of the fifteen middle school students and cook for themselves.
Unexpectedly, the production captain not only did not solve the problem, but also sued the principal of them, and the principal asked his father for questioning, and his father told him the actual situation.
The principal was very angry after hearing this, and also agreed with his father's approach, and in the end, the pressure from several parties made the production captain have to weigh the grain separately.
At this point, the students had enough to eat, and sometimes they couldn't even eat enough food every day, and the angry production captain had itchy teeth.
Luo Xiaoyu feels that his father's uprightness is in his bones, this is the nature of the Luo family, depending on how you think about this matter, some people will use clever tricks to persuade the production captain, some people will use violence, and some people like their father will defeat evil with justice.
"Xiao Yu, why haven't you delivered the snacks to the uncle's house yet?" Luo Jingquan walked into the house with a hoe, everyone was stunned, how did time pass so quickly?
"Grandpa told me a story, I'll go right away. Luo Xiaoyu said.
Luo Jingquan nodded, looked at his father and asked, "Why is this happening now? How many jobs can you earn a day? Dad, how many jobs can you earn alone?"
Luo Wande's face was embarrassed, he looked at his wife and bowed his head and didn't speak. Luo Jingquan seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly walked to the shrine of the hall, opened the oval wooden barrel inside, which is used by every household in the countryside to store grain, he lowered his head and took out a bag with twenty or thirty catties from the empty vat, opened it and was stunned.
The rice in the bag was beaten into noodles, and he remembered that he had eaten this before joining the army a few years ago, and in order to save food, he would beat the rice into flour and sprinkle it in a boiling pot and mix it with vegetable leaves or radishes and potatoes to fill a meal.
His mother always made the best for him, like going to the hillside, saying that he had to eat enough to work when he went out, while they ate batter and wild vegetables in the house.
Luo Jingquan's eyes were sore, this was more than ten years ago, why is it still like this now? He remembered that Brother Hu in the Hu family's compound was full of rice and white noodles, he thought that his parents' life was unsatisfactory, but he didn't expect it to be so bad, what money did he send?
The father's straight eyebrows made Luo Xiaoyu dare not speak. Luo Wande said to his youngest son with a weak heart: "It's not easy for your eldest brother and sister-in-law, and I also shared some of the money you sent to them........"
"But do they have something delicious for you? Do they eat such batter and mixed vegetables? I sent the money for your second elder, don't you know why I went to join the army?"
Luo Wande remembered the scene of his youngest son joining the army, when the youngest son had just finished junior high school and was about to enter high school, and the reconnaissance battalion of the L Military Region came to the village to recruit and publicize, and one of their deputy company commanders took a fancy to his youngest son who came to see the excitement and persuaded him to become a soldier.
At that time, the family was in trouble for the division of the family, the eldest son listened to his daughter-in-law, everything was good, but the younger son asked his parents to fight, for a field of potatoes that was not yet ripe, the eldest son cut off the seedlings on it with a few hoes, and the artichoke without seedlings was equivalent to rotting in the ground, and the younger son cried a lot.
So when the deputy company commander persuaded him to join the army, he said: As long as his parents agree, he will join the army, and the deputy company commander asked him to sign up first, and they are responsible for doing the work.
When Luo Wande knew that his youngest son was going to join the army in such a hard way as the reconnaissance battalion, he resolutely disagreed, and then he couldn't help the troops and his youngest son to persuade him, seeing the situation at home, thinking that it might be better to go out, and finally agreed with tears in his eyes.
The old couple knew that their youngest son was a soldier for them, and he had suffered a lot in the army, and he was reluctant to send his monthly allowance home.
Later, after the eldest daughter-in-law found out, every time she sent money, she would send her eldest grandson over, and later the eldest grandson was sensible, so she sent her eldest granddaughter over.
It is not easy for the old couple to watch their eldest son drag the family with their mouths, first of all, the palms and backs of their hands are full of meat, and they pity the parents of the world!
Luo Wande couldn't help but burst into tears, he was busy wiping it with his rough old hand, and his wife looked at her husband's appearance, and she was also in tears.
Luo Jingquan couldn't stand this scene and turned his back, his shoulders shaking.
Luo Xiaoyu stupidly saw a few adults crying, tears also flowed out, salty tears flowed into his mouth but he didn't know how to persuade him, alas, cry, it's okay to vent.........
She quietly walked out of the house and guarded the door, she was afraid that the uncle's family would come back and see this scene, and thought that the grandparents would sue them, and the grandparents would suffer even more after they left.
Alas, let's make the days faster, go back to that place with beautiful mountains and rivers, there is no house to build by yourself, no vegetables and no food to plant, the wasteland full of mountains and wilderness, they can reclaim the wasteland, and some policies will become wider and wider in the future, she can take her grandparents there without hesitation and honor them.
Luo Xiaoyu prayed silently: Grandparents take care of their health, take care of their health, and let their granddaughters come to honor you.
That night, grandma took out the slurry washed quilt and sewed a quilt for them to cover, Luo Xiaoyu had never covered the slurry washed quilt, it looked hard but very comfortable, and Luo Xiaoyu, who had tasted the ups and downs after a day, soon fell asleep............
On the other hand, Luo Jingquan couldn't sleep for a long time, and originally planned to return to Chenchang the next day, but in this way, how could he rest assured? He decided to stay for a day.
The next day, Father-in-law Sun also learned to look at people's faces, knowing that the family was in a bad mood, and hurriedly showed a red smile..............
Luo Jingquan had already decided last night that he would not cook today, go to the city to eat without work, and take a picture of the old couple by the way.
Facing the morning light, Luo Jingquan packed up the chicken bus, this is still the chicken bus of those years, but there are more traces of repair.
Luo Wande didn't dare to oppose his youngest son's decision, so he cooperated with his wife to get in the car, and Cai Huifang recruited Luo Xiaoyu to get in the car together.
