Chapter 097: My Son Wants to Be a Soldier
Fu Liguo walked on the street with his hands behind his back, humming the tune of Hebei Bangzi in his mouth, and his mood today was particularly comfortable!
Since he learned that his son Fu Min participated in the self-defense counterattack in the south, every nerve of Fu Liguo has been tense, and he pricked up his ears all day long to inquire about the news there, no wonder, at this time, no matter in the streets and alleys, in the fields, or in the places where there are people, the most talked about topics are the causes and consequences of this self-defense counterattack and the recent casualties and battle conditions of the enemy and us, of course, there is no lack of gossip and speculation. Then there are those rumors with ulterior motives, exaggerated, and sensational, what "how many Chinese troops have been dumped by others." "The Soviet Union is going to make a move against China in the north, and this time China is being caught between the north and the south." "World War III is about to begin." "Eat and drink, when the world war comes, no one can run, and no one wants to live a peaceful life." Wait, as soon as these words came out, good guys, it was a lot of uproar and panic for a while, and it was really annoying.
Once this kind of news spreads, how can a small rural person in the countryside know the truth at this time? Some people can't help but worry about their country and army, they are worried about whether China can win this war, will it really cause a world war? Because the wounds of war that China has endured have only just healed; The common people have just passed the peaceful life of more than 30 years.
Most of the people are still paying attention to the news from the southern border and the development of the war situation, sweating for the Chinese army and the combatants. Of course, the most concerned are Fu Liguo, his wife and everyone in his family, followed by those relatives who are related to the past. At that time, even Fu Liguo and everyone in the family could not touch the exact news of his son Fu Min, whenever people came to inquire, the more troublesome he was, he also understood that people were concerned, but he sent a nameless fire at every turn, so later, people tried not to mention, not to talk about, and not to ask about the counterattack in front of him.
In fact, everyone in the family knows that when the eldest son Fu Min was at home, Fu Liguo couldn't talk about whether he liked it or not. However, Fu Min was also very clever when he was a child, and Fu Liguo still likes his son. Because Fu Liguo went out to fight as a soldier at the age of sixteen, although he was injured and returned to his hometown to continue to engage in local armies, but after eight years of resistance, he finally looked forward to the surrender of the little devil, and the civil war broke out again, and he fought with the recalcitrant army for three years. When Fu Min was born, Fu Liguo was assigned to work in the city, so Fu Min was also a kid who grew up in the city.
During the three-year difficult period, Fu Liguo returned to his hometown to be a farmer in response to the call with his wife and children, and his family returned to his hometown to be a farmer, he was disabled and an old party member, an old revolutionary, and later the government in order to take care of him, and found him an errand in the county, but he couldn't live or die, according to his words: "My health is not very good, my culture is not high, I can't do big things, and I can't eat official food." Officials are not free, so it is better to do some farm work in the countryside within their own ability, at least at ease. ”
A few years after arriving in the countryside, Fu Min was a teenager, perhaps because he was used to following the children in the countryside, Fu Min also began to be naughty and mischievous, and very disobedient, according to what our countrymen said: call him to go to the east and he is biased to the west, and tell him to catch geese and chickens. For this reason, Fu Min was beaten a lot, and Fu Liguo often scolded his son: "You are not beaten for three days, go to the house to uncover the tiles." ”
Fu Min is not only naughty and disobedient, but also digs and fishes with a group of children all day long, climbs melons and walks dates; It's not easy to even go to school, the homework record is called a plummet, every time the exam is either failed or a big zero, at school either damage public goods or damage the things of classmates, teachers and classmates' parents are running to the house every now and then to complain, for him, Fu Liguo and Lu Chunji have not less to compensate others, and they have not been "invited" by the teacher to the school to apologize and compensate the teacher.
Of course, Fu Liguo and his family have been counted down and ridiculed by others for this son, and they have also suffered a lot of wimps for their son, do you think, there is still him at home? Anyway, Fu Min is often subjected to his parents' "dry wood stew". Fu Liguo pointed at Fu Min's head and scolded: "Why did I give birth to such an indisputable thing as you? If it weren't for you, who the fuck would dare to blow your beard and stare in front of me? I've never let people say anything bad in my life, but I just gave birth to you as a little brute, alas......"
Fu Min squatted in primary school twice, and after he went to primary school, he was sixteen or seventeen years old, and at this time he had his younger sister Orchid at home. Since then, without parental discipline, Fu Min no longer runs around with the children all day long, as soon as school is over, he runs home to play with his sister, and rarely goes out to play on Sundays and holidays, he watches his sister at home, and his parents go to work in the production team, he feels very happy and interesting.
Perhaps because of his younger sister, Fu Min gradually became diligent and sensible, and his studies began to improve. These subtle changes in his eyes made his parents happy in their eyes, especially his father Fu Liguo, who also had the patience to teach his son and tell his son some principles of life.
Although Fu Min has signs of improvement, when he was admitted to middle school, Fu Liguo and his wife thought that no matter how hard their son studied now, he was afraid that it would be too late, and Fu Min could not hope to be admitted to middle school. Prepare to let him work in the production team, or save him from eating idle meals all day. ”
Who knows, when the test results came out, Fu Min was actually admitted to middle school, which was really unexpected by everyone! According to the situation at that time, a rural child who went to middle school was considered to have a good level of education. Fu Liguo was happy now, he pointed at Fu Min and said: "Son, do you know that there are few people in our village who go to middle school, study hard, you must fight for Lao Tzu!" Only with culture can there be a future, don't be like you Lao Tzu, you don't know half a liter of words. ”
Who knows, Fu Min just went to middle school for more than a year, and said that he would not go to school anymore, and his parents asked him why he didn't want to go to school? He squeaked and said: "My classmates in our class belong to my majority, I am eighteen or nineteen years old and I am at the same table with the little children of thirteen or fourteen, everyone laughs at me, and even the teacher makes fun of me in class." I don't go to school anymore. ”
Mother Lu Chunji understood that this was her son's self-esteem was hurt, and he had no idea for a while, so he quietly said to Liguo: "Listen, my son is afraid, if he has this thought, I'm afraid he won't be able to study steadily in the future, what can I do?" ”
Fu Liguo became angry when he heard this, and he said to his wife: "Don't you know this kid's temper?" He's not just for that, there must be other reasons. ”
He turned around and came to Fu Min, and glared and scolded, "Does your mother know shame now?" What did you do earlier? Something that doesn't fight! If you are determined to study hard and improve your academic performance, it doesn't matter what others say. If you can't finish your studies, Lao Tzu won't be able to spare you! Hmph, to be honest, why don't you want to go to school? ”
He asked, of course, his son didn't want to admit it, and he didn't dare to say what he really thought. Lu Chunji was still careful, and she patiently persuaded her wife: "You see that the children are all too old, don't always beat and scold at every turn." Leave it to me. ”
Most of the children in the world are related to their mothers, and the mother will always be the most loving person in the hearts of the children, perhaps this is human nature. Sure enough, Fu Min told his mother his true intentions and motives: "I want to be a soldier!" ”
When Lu Chunji explained his son's thoughts to Fu Liguo, Fu Liguo slapped his thigh and shouted, "What's the matter?" What am I talking about? Knowing that the son is more than the father, I know that this kid has other intentions. It seems that this kid is hard-hearted, or he won't say it, or it would be a good material to ask him to go to the army to exercise. ”
So, Fu Liguo called his son Fu Min to him, he was patient, smiled at his son uncharacteristically, and said pleasantly: "Son, the idea that you want to be a soldier is very good, but now being a soldier is not like Lao Tzu...... At that time, we could be the same as if we wanted, and now the procedure for being a soldier is quite cumbersome and complicated, we must first sign up, and the village cadres and commune cadres will check each person one by one before they are allowed to go to the armed forces for interviews and interviews, and the competent cadres of the armed forces will have to have a physical examination after they pass, and all the physical standards will be met, and then the political examination, why the aunt, aunt, mother, uncle, etc., all have a clean history, and there is no political, ideological and all aspects of the problem, and they still need to be transferred and visited at home. You even need to evaluate your performance and grades in school, and after this set of procedures, do you think you can pass the test? Even if you have passed the test, being a soldier now is not like when we were in the army, you can't do anything without culture, and the army is not willing to keep you. Dad is not scaring you, you are still young at this time, it is better to study hard, and it is not too late for us to find a way to become a soldier when you are older. Do you hear that? ”
Fu Liguo said a lot to his son, but Fu Min didn't listen to a word, but in the face of his father's strictness, Fu Min empathized, he didn't dare to confront his father in person, but in his heart, he was 10,000 unconvinced, 100,000 unhappy.
"Uncle, why are you so happy today?" A group of men and women passed by him, interrupted by a greeting. He smiled at the group and hurriedly replied, "Mmmm, it's okay, it's okay, I'll come out and go around." ”
"Hahaha......" People couldn't help but laugh when they saw his busy and excited demeanor.
When he came back to his senses, he turned around and shook his head at the group and smiled, "These young people, what's so funny? ”
