Chapter 64: Letter from Home

Old man Xia and the old lady moved to Xia Aiguo before Xia Qiu went to Longjiang University. At the beginning, the boss Xia Aihua resolutely disagreed with the two elders to move out, and said that he would always provide for the elderly. Or Xia Aiqin came back to say peace. persuaded the daughters of the second brother's family to go out to study and become soldiers, it was too boring, and the burden was still small. Just go there and stay there, you don't have to decide who to retire in, the two families change to stay, and by the way, you can let your sister-in-law be idle. Otherwise, this old and young person will have to worry about it. Wait for the small one to be big, a village to live, and my father and mother are willing to come back at any time. He smiled and said, I have heard that other families do not support the elderly, and the brothers have turned the sky upside down, but I have never seen our old Xia family like this, and I am almost anxious to support the old brothers.

In a word, Xia Aihua and Xia Aiguo's brothers were a little anxious just now, and they immediately turned sunny, and they couldn't hold back their laughter, this age is old, but like a child.

So at this moment, Xia Aihua is sitting on the kang head of Xia Aiguo with the big package sent back by Summer.

The old lady took the broom and said, "It's the New Year." For the first two days, I was still thinking about why our family didn't have a letter, and I didn't sleep well at night. This is good, thinking about what's coming, this is not only a letter, but also a big package back to the mail. Wait a while, I'll sweep this kang and take it out. The old lady smiled toothlessly.

"This autumn, in order to save the cost of the two of them, I didn't go to see Tiantian before the holiday, according to me, I shouldn't buy anything for us, what's the use? It's better to save it and take a look at it for us. You don't say it's like a kid, a girl is outside, and the tiger is not long. I don't know what the specifics are, but this kid likes to say pleasing things and doesn't say anything about the difficulties. Old man Xia smoked a cigarette pouch and sat on the side of the kang, for fear of delaying the old woman to sweep the kang seat, so he said while smoking.

"Grandpa, my sister has sent back the old nose goodies in this bag. You look at this big." No matter how old Xia Dong is, he is still looking forward to getting some fresh gifts for the New Year. Last time his brother came back from vacation, he bought him a pencil and a notebook, he was not satisfied, and was kicked and reprimanded by his father: "You know how did your brother get this little thing?" That's all saved from the mouth. The subsidy given by the state is for him to eat, what about him? He can't eat enough and brings you something, if you don't want to learn to read and write, Lao Tzu will kick you to death. ”

Xia Aiguo unpacked the burden, and the whole family, including Uncle Xia, also watched, and then took out the letter and handed it to Xia Qiu, asking him to read it to everyone.

Grandparents, parents, brothers and brothers:

How are you all? The year 1974 is coming to an end, and I guess you will be ready for 1975 by the time you receive the letter.

In this year, I have experienced many memorable moments that have made me grow and gain a lot. Here, I live freely and freely, and I feel that the military camp is really suitable for me.

Grandpa, Dad, when I was training, when my body was too weak to keep up with other comrades, I kept a heart to catch up. Don't worry, I'm running 10 kilometers like I'm playing. I was always praised in the company for my cultural classes, but in terms of physical training, I belonged to the second half of the company. I don't set too high a goal to be the first, but I always try to listen to your suggestions, and the last one is one.

Whenever I feel like I can't hold on, I think about my grandfather and my father. Thinking that he promised his grandfather to win glory, he thought that his father couldn't have a daughter who was nothing. In this way, I broke through myself again and again.

A few months ago, three female comrades-in-arms and I in my class went out on monthly vacation and encountered a gang of abductors and children who abducted and sold women.

For this reason, the local public security wrote a letter of thanks, and the troops of the military region and the regiment also gave us commendations. The army gave me a personal third-class meritorious service, and the good news will be sent to the township commune, and when the public society comes, people will come to our house to congratulate me. The military newspaper of the army also interviewed the four of us, and I kept that newspaper and put it in your military coat pocket!

The letter of thanks and the commendation of the military region were all false, and the regiment sent me a physical reward of a new military coat. This military coat is for grandpa to wear, Tiantian finally used her ability to add a new coat to grandpa, I'm so happy. ”

Xia Qiu felt that he couldn't read anymore, his grandmother and his mother began to wipe their tears, and he was also worried to death.

"Woohoo! This damn girl must be injured, injured! Daddy, let's go and take a look, don't we have all the shadows? Su Meili felt like her heart was being pulled by someone. She doesn't want good news, she just wants her daughter to stay in the army honestly. I was thinking about listening to my daughter's letter before, and the basin that made dumplings at night was touched by her depressed soul.

"It's all credited? Can this man be good? Yes? Old man? Tell me, you've been the village chief. Yes? Top dog? Tell me, can this person be good? This kid can't have written to us when he's hurting, right? The old lady sat on the kang and turned around to touch it.

Old man Xia's hand holding the cigarette pouch was a little trembling, and he searched the expressions of the two sons with his eyes, trying to find some confirmation.

Xia Aiguo's eyes were red, and he shouted at Xia Qiu at the top of his voice: "Keep reading!" ”

Xia Aihua nodded tightly: "I can write a letter, my tone is quite relaxed, and I sent something back, I guess there is no big problem with the child." It's just that the injury is healed.,I didn't hear about it a few months ago.,It's estimated that I'll send a letter to the place when I'm all healed.。 Rest assured, rest assured, everyone rest assured. "At the critical moment, Uncle Xia was calm. In the summer, she should be glad that her uncle is at her house, otherwise her grandfather and her father will go to the city to find her when they are excited to really scrape together money.

After the eldest brother's analysis, Xia Aiguo also calmed down a bit, and followed the persuasion: "Don't cry quickly, won't anyone come to the commune to send good news in a few days?" Let's ask, if there's anything going on, we'll go. Besides, haven't you finished reading the letter? Don't get excited. ”

The old lady and Su Meili both eased up, crying until they woke up with snot, and Chong Xiaqiu, who was a little unenergetic, signaled to continue.

"I applied for the number with the political commissar of the army according to my grandfather's figure, and my grandfather must have dressed well. I bought a few boxes of cigarettes for my grandfather, my father, my uncle, my brother-in-law, and my grandfather. "Let's go...... It's all about dividing things.

Old man Xia raised his hand and gestured to interrupt: "Qiu, can you read something useful?" ”

Before Xia Qiu could speak, the old lady slapped Old Man Xia's thigh: "It's all useful, my little granddaughter never says it's useless!" ”

Xia Qiu balanced who had the final say, and decided to continue reading: "Grandparents, father, mother, I have written this letter originally, but I think it is necessary for me to reiterate a few words:

"My third-class merit really didn't hurt me seriously. Just a broken finger, the face was swollen and absolutely not broken, there was really nothing else. The three comrades-in-arms with me, they are all heroes among women, and they are strong in martial arts, and they have all practiced.

My role among the four was to run out of the alley and call for the people to come and help. I'm really fishing in troubled waters to get such a hero's reputation. Who made me lucky? I love to make friends with powerful comrades-in-arms!

Also, I am very popular, and the clothes in the baggage, whether it is men or women, were given to me by my comrades-in-arms when they heard that our family was from the countryside. Most of our soldiers are urban soldiers and have good family conditions. It just so happened that I was the only one in my dormitory who was relatively poor, and they all helped me.

And the men's clothes, which are the head of our regiment. As I write this, I have to stress again that I was lucky. The female comrade-in-arms in the dormitory with me is the sister of our regiment commander. When he saw that I was short of men's clothes to send home, he went and asked for some for me.

You look at the scores, I don't know what I wrote, I've been a little busy these days, and it's almost the New Year, and it's all kinds of assessments, so I just want to write a sentence.

I'll go home next year, or take a long vacation to see my brother. Ah, by the way, Comrade Xia Aiguo Su Meimei, the summer you have cultivated is very good and talented. During the recitation of the National Day poem, the words I wrote were also taken by the leaders of the military newspaper. But I can't bear to refuse our group, you guys are proud of me!

Spend the New Year at home, don't miss me too much. I'll be able to go home next year, and I'll have more drinks with my grandmother. I'll write to you in two days, so be it. ”

Xia Aiguo looked at Xia Qiu: "It's over?" ”

Xia Qiu thinks this is not nonsense...... But that's his father, and he has to be kicked when he says it, nodding without words, thinking in his heart that his sister is really lucky?

Su Meili felt that this girl was going to be in front of her, and she had to give a handful. What is this? East and west, thinking of what to write, but the result is not detailed. She didn't understand anything.

Old lady: "This child has no sequelae when he is injured?" It's all good, isn't it? Did she write it? "The old lady is a little confused, when did it happen, when was it hospitalized, when was it okay, why didn't this kid say anything?

Old man Xia knocked down the cigarette pouch and pot, thought for two minutes, and asked his two sons without thinking: "This is a good idea, but I didn't write it clearly, right?" Hurry up and write a letter and ask, and let Tian Tian make up for it clearly! ”

"No, I have to prepare to receive the leaders of the commune these days, and I can't send great news? At that time, everyone will have to talk about what's going on, and the people above know better than us. "Uncle Xia Aihua is happy, this is an honor. The third-class merit and the great news are still obtained by the people of his old Xia family, no, they have to prepare the gong and drum team and beat it......
