Fu Liguo was thinking back to the fact that his son Fu Min had to join the army. Suddenly interrupted by a group of people, he muttered a word and continued to walk towards Ying Zhiming's house. He was happy today, because he wanted to find this old comrade-in-arms to have a drink or two.

He glanced at the letter he was holding and slipped it into his pocket. He snorted, and said to himself as he walked forward, "What did I say?" This kid is a soldier's material, good, Lao Tzu didn't misunderstand you, mother, I really miss you a little, and when you go home to visit your relatives, Lao Tzu has to respect you for two cups. ”

Although Fu Liguo said so nagging in his heart, he never revealed to anyone that he missed his son, including his wife Lu Chunji. His temperament is not only known to his wife, but even Ying Zhiming knows it very well.

When Lu Chunji talked about this matter at this time, Ying Zhiming interrupted Lu Chunji's words with a smile and said to everyone: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to explain to him, I know what he is like, he is a dead duck with a hard mouth." ”

One sentence caused everyone to burst into laughter. Fu Liguo glanced at Ying Zhiming, and scolded in his mouth: "You old thing, you will make a fuss, I shouldn't have ...... back then."

"Okay, okay, just for this little thing, you have uncovered my scars for decades. Hello, you were promoted to battalion commander three times, why were you taken down three times and made a company commander? Hum. Ying Zhiming interrupted Fu Liguo's words and asked everyone: "Is there something wrong with what I said?" Is he such a person in the first place, if you don't expose his shortcomings, he will press the light to expose your shortcomings, right? ”

"Come on, you." Fu Liguo raised his arm impatiently.

Lu Chunji smiled and said: "You two, you are a lot of age, and you will fight as soon as you meet, so you can't change it?" Don't call juniors a joke. ”

"Sister-in-law, what I said is not right? He obviously wants to pay the people for this child, but he is afraid that others will know what he thinks in his heart, and he is afraid that when others say it, his old face will not be able to hang up. Ying Zhiming didn't pay attention to it, he continued: "Sister-in-law, I learned from you that after Fu Min's letter from him that day, he was happy to find me to drink that proud energy, and he behaved like a child. ”

Lu Chunji smiled and asked, "Oh? It's new, how does he behave? ”

Fu Liguo glared at Ying Zhiming with a drooping face, but Ying Zhiming took a sip of water and pretended not to see it, he said: "That day he came to my house, and as soon as he saw me at the door, he shouted loudly: 'Old Ying! Lao Ying! I'm going to tell you about a great event. I quickly asked, 'What is it that excites you so much?' He took out a letter from his pocket, shook it in front of my eyes, grinned, and said, 'Have you heard of it?' The counterattack is over, the troops have withdrawn to the country, hehehe, you see the letter from my family. At the time, I thought it was really great news. I'll let him into the house, and quickly ask your brother and sister to fry two dishes for us......"

Lu Chunji asked: "Is that the day you got drunk?" ”

Ying Zhiming's wife Yu Juxiang said: "Isn't it, they really drank a lot that day, ouch, sister-in-law, I didn't want to learn from you, I'm afraid you will be angry." ”

Lu Chunji pouted and said, "What's the matter?" Say, I'm not angry. Brother and sister, if you are angry with them, we will be mad if we don't die. ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Yu Juxiang said: "The most unbearable thing that day was that they knocked on the bowl while drinking, isn't this scolding?" ”

"Huh? Is that really the case? When Lu Chunji heard this, he pointed at Fu Liguo and Ying Zhiming and scolded: "Why are you two old things ignorant!" Do you not know or do you deliberately pretend to be garlic? This knocking on the bowl is scolding the cook! ”

"Didn't you just drink too much at the time?" Fu Liguo glared at Ying Zhiming and complained, "Come on, right?" I don't have to be scolded to be happy. ”

Ying Zhiming explained to Lu Chunji: "Sister-in-law, I complained about this matter, I forgot about this stubble when I was happy, we didn't have musical accompaniment when we sang in the army, we just sang and knocked on the bowl and pot." ”

"Yes, what can I say that day? I said in my heart, they are happy today, whatever. Yu Juxiang thought about it and said, "What did they sing that day?" It's old and familiar, it's called ...... Hey, it's been a long time, and I can't remember it for a while. ”

Ying Zhiming continued: "That's the song of our Eighth Route Army." ”

Ying Zhiming pulled Fu Liguo like a child and said, "Come on, let's sing again." ”

Fu Liguo was scolded by his wife just now, and he was not angry, he shook his head at Ying Zhiming and said impatiently: "Go and go, you want to sing, I don't sing." ”

"Don't sing pull down, I'll sing." Ying Zhiming sat firmly, pulled out the posture and coughed dryly twice, cleared his throat and opened his voice and sang:

The iron flows 25,000 miles, straight in a firm direction! Ten years of hard work have been tempered into an invincible force. Once the frontier was captured, the generous tragedy went to the battlefield. The first battle was drawn, and the prestige rose all over the world. The first battle was drawn, and the prestige rose all over the world. guerrilla warfare, behind enemy lines, the eradication of the puppet regime; Guerrilla warfare, behind enemy lines, insisting on counter-sweeping. The steel knife is stuck in the enemy's chest. The steel knife is stuck in the enemy's chest. The towering Changbai Mountain, the surging Yalu River, vow to regain the lost land and chase the strong beam. Fight for national independence and seek human liberation,......

Suddenly, Ying Zhiming deliberately stopped singing here, but everyone heard Fu Liguo still humming and singing: "This sacred responsibility is on our shoulders......

For a while, it caused a burst of laughter from everyone, Fu Liguo didn't look at his age, he was still a little embarrassed at this time, he pointed at Ying Zhiming with his finger and muttered in a low voice: "You guy, look how bad you are." ”

Fu Liguo turned around and ignored him with his head turned in. Ying Zhiming pointed to his back and said to everyone: "Look at this old thing, tell him to sing, he doesn't insist on singing, people sing it, he is so addicted that he doesn't dare to sing it loudly." Do you say you are a donkey? It's really a guy who doesn't leave, beats you and goes backwards. Hahaha......"

"I just don't sing with you, the guy who doesn't have a full five notes." Fu Liguo said to everyone: "I don't know if you heard it? In several places he sang out of tune, and that day he drank too much and ran even harder. ”

Lu Chunji waved his hand and said, "Come on, I don't think you two sing very well." It's just some old-fashioned songs, who can understand them now? Young people don't like to listen to it even more. ”

"Yes, it's outdated, you can sing, others can't." Yu Juxiang also said the same.

Fu Liguo was in a hurry, he tilted his head and said, "Hey, how can you say that?" I like to listen to this song and like to sing it, kindly. ”

"Yes, yes, that's right, this kind of song makes people feel so energetic and enthusiastic when they hear it." Ying Zhiming maintained the same position as Fu Liguo this time, and he continued: "Sister-in-law, you are still an old model of supporting the army. I don't say anything about you, I don't care what others say, how can you say this? Have you forgotten the things that made us military shoes and sent military rations back then? If it weren't for that, hehehe...... Can you and Lao Fu become a family? ”

"Alright, let's talk some nonsense." Lu Chunji interrupted Ying Zhiming's words, she said: "Don't talk about it, I'll continue to tell you two why we orchids have to be soldiers." ”

"Yes, I haven't understood it until now, a girl's family, if she doesn't study hard, she has to be a soldier, why?" Ying Zhiming urged: "Sister-in-law, hurry up and talk about it, can you simply say okay?" ”

Lu Chunji subconsciously glanced at the house and said, "Okay, why do you want to ask her why she went?" In a word, it is because of her brother Fu Min. ”

"For the sake of the people?" Ying Zhiming and Yu Juxiang were puzzled and asked together.

"I have to listen carefully to this, sister-in-law, you talk slowly." Yu Juxiang was sitting on the bench in the house, but then she stood up and sat on the edge of the kang again, sat on the kang with her legs crossed, and shouted to the house: "Orchid, pour a bowl of hot water for your mother." ”

When Fu Lanhua heard the scream, she quickly brought a bowl of hot water and handed it to her mother, and then she put the table on the kang again, and poured a bowl of hot water for everyone to put on it, but she always lowered her eyebrows and didn't say a word, her face was still crimson. When she was done, Orchid turned and went back to her house.

Yu Juxiang saw it in her eyes, and she whispered: "Look at the child who is ashamed, what is this called?" ”

None of the people made a sound, and after a moment of silence, Yu Juxiang said, "Sister-in-law, do you go on?" ”

"Okay, it's still early anyway, so I'll tell you about Fu Min." Lu Chunji combed her hair back, and she said eloquently:

Not long after receiving Fu Min's letter at home, the weather was exceptionally sunny that day, the wind was beautiful, Fu Liguo and Lu Chunji had just had breakfast, and were about to go to the ground, when they suddenly heard the noise of gongs and drums on the street, the sound of people, and the bustling shouts from far and near. Before Fu Liguo and his wife could react, the noise had already reached the gate of his house, and then someone pushed the two gates open.

"Stop!" Listening to the order, the gongs and drums and the noise immediately fell silent.

The first to walk into the courtyard is the village (Red Guard Brigade) current deputy secretary of the party branch Qin Shitong, speaking of this person, with resourcefulness, treacherous and cunning to describe it is not an exaggeration, he is recognized by the whole village as a "big golden loach" that can not be grasped with his hands, is Qin Dachuan's right-hand man and staff officer; It is known as the "Smiling Tiger".

He was followed by several people, including cadres from his village and a primary school teacher, and the other two did not know him. In terms of the generations of villagers, Qin Shitong is two generations younger than Fu Liguo, which means that he is a "grandchild" in front of Fu Liguo. When Qin Shitong saw Fu Liguo and Lu Chunji, he immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face and said to them: "Liye, grandma, congratulations, my little uncle Fu Min has made meritorious contributions on the front line, but you can win face for our whole village, and win glory for our party branch and village committee, hehehehe......"

As he spoke, he pointed behind him and said, "Come on, let me introduce you, this is Minister Xiao of the Armed Forces Department of our county." ”

Vice Minister Xiao stepped forward and shook Fu Liguo's hand and said, "Old comrade, you have cultivated and educated a good son, thank you." ”

Fu Liguo said in his heart: How can I have any education. However, at this moment, he also had to answer the high-sounding words, and he smiled and said, "Where? All of this is due to the good education of the party and military leaders, and to the good training of your leaders. Hehe, I also asked Minister Xiao to run in person, I really didn't want to go. ”

Minister Xiao took Fu Liguo's hand and said cordially: "You have raised a good young man for our county and sent a good soldier to the army, we are all very grateful to you." Next, Secretary Wang of our county party committee will also come to visit and express condolences to you two elders. ”

Fu Liguo said a little excitedly: "Ouch, thank you, thank you very much, thank you for the leaders' concern." ”

Qin Shitong pointed to a young man and continued to introduce: "The one here is Minister Luo from our Chengguan Town. ”

"Hahaha, it seems to be a little familiar." Minister Luo came to them with a smile and said, "Uncle and aunt, don't you know?" My name is Luo Jianxin, I seem to have seen uncles and aunts. ”

Fu Liguo patted his head and said, "Oh, I remember, I saw it the day Fu Min left as a soldier, I saw it." ”

Minister Luo shook hands with them one by one and said, "Congratulations, by the way, has Fu Min ever written again?" He may be back soon to visit your second elder. ”

What? The old couple was stunned, is their son Fu Min coming back? How did I not know? How did Minister Luo know?
