September 5th.

There is still one day left before the time for the recruits to set off in Shanxiu County.

After breakfast, Ming Carp went to the flower shop to buy a bouquet of white chrysanthemums, and when he passed by the cigarette hotel, he bought a pack of good cigarettes and a bottle of good wine.

Riding a small electric donkey.

Half an hour later, Ming Carp came to the Shanxiu County Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery in Qiao Village.

There is a monument to the martyrs in the cemetery.

There are 46 tombs of martyrs who died in the revolutionary war years, the struggle against bandits and hegemony, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the defense of the motherland's borders, and the cause of socialist construction.

and the memorial hall exhibition room, etc.

Ming Li's father, Ming Zhou, was buried in the martyrs' cemetery in Shanxiu County after he died in the mission in 98.

"Comrade Lao Ming, I've come to see you."

"See, good wine, Feitian Moutai."

"I know you like to smoke, and I brought you a pack of cigarettes, Yellow Crane Tower 1916, a pack of 100 yuan."

Ming carp put the white chrysanthemum in front of his father's grave, poured Moutai for his father, and lit all the good cigarettes.

"By the way, Comrade Lao Ming, let me tell you something, I am a soldier, I will leave tomorrow, and I will go to Fanzang, where you served before."

"Don't worry too much about us down there, don't worry, Mom and I are fine."

After chatting with his father for two hours, Ming Carp got up and prepared to go back.

"Comrade Lao Ming, I'm leaving, I'll come back next time to see you, and come to see you with a military merit medal."

"Although I am not yet a qualified soldier, I will say goodbye to you as a soldier."

"Stand upright!"

"Salute!"

……

After leaving the martyrs' cemetery, Ming Carp rode a small electric donkey back to Egret Bay leisurely.

Mom was watching TV in the living room.

"Mom, I'm back."

"Little carp is back, are you hungry?"

"Sort of."

It takes more than half an hour to go from the county seat to the martyrs' cemetery in Shanxiu County, and it takes more than an hour to come and go.

chatted with my father for more than two hours in the martyr's cemetery.

The noodles that I ate in my stomach in the morning have long been digested.

"Wait, I'll go stir-fry."

Ten minutes later, two dishes and one soup were served, and the mother and son began to eat lunch.

"By the way, Xiao Li, you Qin Xiao said, go to her house for dinner in the evening."

"Going to Qin's house for dinner?"

"Aren't you going to the army tomorrow, you said you would practice it for you."

After lunch, Ming Li and his mother went downstairs.

It didn't take long for the two to come to the Yuyuan community and park the car at the door of Villa 16.

A temperamental lady in her forties in a long dress greeted her.

"Ah Xian, little carp."

Yao Xian smiled, "Sister Qin." ”

Ming Carp smiled, "Qin Xiao." ”

"Little carp, you haven't come to see Qin for a long time."

"Qin Xiao, you are a busy person, you are busy with business all day long, I have been here twice before, Fang Xiao said that you are not at home, I don't believe you asked Fang Xiao."

"I went on a business trip to the magic capital some time ago, and I only came back three days ago." Luo Qin patted Ming Carp's head and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, eighteen years have passed, and our little carp has grown into a sunny and handsome handsome guy, I think I hugged you when you were born." ”

"Eighteen years have not been able to leave traces of time on the piano, I think the piano is more beautiful than eighteen years ago."

"The little carp is getting better and better at talking, his mouth is so sweet, he coaxed the little girl at school, tell Qin Xiao, don't you play girlfriend."

"How can I have a girlfriend?"

"Really?"

"Not really."

As they spoke, the three of them walked towards the house.

"Sister Qin, Sister Xian, Little Carp." A middle-aged woman wearing an apron said.

"Fangxiao." Ming Carp greeted.

Yao Xian said, "Wen Fang, I'm sorry for you." ”

"No trouble, no trouble." Wen Fang waved his hand and smiled.

Luo Qin said, "Ah Fang, you go and prepare dinner first." ”

"Okay, Sister Qin." Wen Fang nodded, and continued to go to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for dinner and prepare for dinner.

Ming Li and his mother chatted with Luo Qin in the living room.

"Little carp, listen to your mother, you went to Fanzang?"

"Yes, Koto."

"I heard that Fanzang is particularly bitter, the ultraviolet rays on the plateau are particularly strong, the air is thin, and it is easy to suffer from plateau diseases.

Knowing that Ming Carp went to Fanzang, Luo Qin was a little worried.

The altitude of Fanzang is high, the air is thin, the ultraviolet rays on the plateau are strong, and the conditions are much more difficult than other places.

She heard that some people are reluctant to go to Fanzang, and even if they go, they will find a relationship to transfer from Fanzang, and most of the soldiers who go to Fanzang are family.

She treats Ming Carp as her own son, and when she learns that Ming Carp will go to Fanzang to suffer in the future, how can she not worry.

"Qin Xiao, I am now an adult, a manly man stands up to the sky, since I have decided to be a soldier, I have to go to the most difficult place to temper, scrap iron needs to be constantly forged to become good steel, I don't want to become scrap iron, I want to become good steel."

"Do you want me to talk to Minister Chen of the Ministry of Armed Forces, and see if I can change places."

"Don't, don't." Ming carp hurriedly refused.

He knew that Luo Qin was worried that he would go to Fanzang and suffer, after all, the conditions in Fanzang were indeed more difficult than other places.

With Luo Qin's relationship, it is indeed not a problem to change places for him.

Luo Rong also said before that he wanted to find a relationship with him and change to a place with better conditions, but Ming Li refused.

It's the same this time.

Although the conditions in Fanzang are difficult, they train people.

He still said the same thing, since he was destined to become a soldier, he naturally had to go to the most difficult places to forge himself.

He's not here to enjoy life.

Why did he want to be a soldier in order to enjoy life, playing games at home every day, and asking a girl to go out and step on the road if he had nothing to do, isn't she fragrant?

Yao Xian smiled and said, "Sister Qin, you don't have to worry about him, let him go to Fanzang to train for two years." ”

Luo Qin said, "Carp, do a good job after you go to the army." ”

"Knowing the piano, I promise, I will never let you down." Ming Li said, "By the way, Qin Xiao, I heard that Sister Xiuxiu is going to study in the United States? ”

"I went to the United States in October to study pharmaceutical engineering at Johns Hopskin University."

Ming Li said, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Sister Xiuxiu for a long time." ”

Luo Qin has a daughter named Zhang Xiuxiu, who is one year older than him and is the eldest sister of him and Luo Hao.

It's just that after Zhang Xiuxiu went to Sichuan Shu University two years ago, he basically never returned to Shanxiu, and spent most of his winter and summer vacations interning in a pharmaceutical engineering laboratory in Rongcheng, Sichuan and Shu Province, and returned to Shanxiu County only a handful of times.

"By the way, your sister Xiuxiu still doesn't know that you are going to be a soldier." Luo Qin said, "Aren't your soldiers going to Fanzang going to have adaptation training in Rongcheng first, and if you have time after arriving in Rongcheng, you can go to Sichuan Shu University to find her." ”

"Don't worry, Qin Xiao, if I have time, I will definitely go to Sichuan Shu University to see Sister Xiuxiu, I haven't seen Sister Xiuxiu for almost two years, I don't know if there is a long change."

"What has changed, the personality is still the same as that of a boy, I really wonder if I made a mistake in the hospital, the old lady's delicate and quiet temperament has not been inherited at all, and I still named her Xiuxiu."

"My parents named me Carp, don't they want me to learn to be rich and five cars, only eight buckets high, carp jumping over the dragon gate, I can't get into college anyway."

"You're embarrassed to say it." Yao Xian smiled and said, "Look at your sister Xiuxiu, Sichuan Shu University, then look at the mouse, Imperial Capital University, and then look at you, squatting at home University." ”

Ming carp "......"
