Chapter 3 Wish-fulfillment
As soon as she heard that her son was going to take the military academy examination, Mrs. Lu immediately became anxious and bounced up from her chair: "What, you want to be a soldier?" No, you are the only seedling in our family, and I don't agree with you to go. It is said that good iron does not nail, good men are not soldiers, and someone has to inherit such a big industry of our family. β
"Mom, this is my ideal, doesn't my father often warn me that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband? Now that the Chinese warlords are separating themselves and the Japanese are ready to move in the northeast of China, the country needs us young people to defend our homeland and the country. Hot-blooded men should make contributions at this time of crisis. If everyone is like you, then who else will guard the country? β
"But the days of being a soldier are not as comfortable as being a young master, can you afford this hardship?" Lu Yixiang glanced at his son.
"Dad, how can I be so weak? Don't treat me like a papier-mΓ’chΓ©, okay? β
"To be a soldier is to march and fight, this bullet doesn't have long eyes, in case you have a good one, then our Lu family can γγγγγγ" Mrs. Lu's voice choked as she spoke.
"Mom, you can't think about it, maybe I, Lu Yulin, will become a generation of famous generals like Yue Fei and Qi Jiguang in the future, and I can glorify our ancestors for our Lu family. Dad, you say yes, our Lu family is all civil ministers, and we have never produced military generals. β
"I don't expect you to become a generation of famous generals, but I have no objection to going to the barracks to temper and temper you, and I can go to your arrogance."
"So, Dad, do you agree?"
"Now that the situation is so chaotic, this country really needs a group of young people to change the world. Our Lu family has been a loyal minister for generations, and it is our responsibility to take the welfare of the common people as our own responsibility, and this family style must be passed on. β
"Master, if Lin'er goes to the army, who will take care of our family's business in the future?"
"I think, Lin'er is not a business material, I am still in good health, the Lu family's business is naturally taken care of by me, I really can't do it, isn't there Yiying and his son Yu Ting, I think Yu Ting's child is a business material."
Mrs. Lu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lu Yixiang: "Ruqin, children have children's ideals, don't interfere with us as parents." β
"You're open-minded." Mrs. Lu turned around and wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "If Zhen'er is still alive, you can toss as much as you want, but now that I only have such a son, how can I watch himγγγγγγ β
"Mom, don't be sad, as if I'm going to war tomorrow and never coming back. Promise me, as long as you promise me this, I will never face west if you let me face east in the future. Lu Yulin hurriedly helped her mother beat her back.
"Then after you graduate from the military academy, you will immediately get engaged and get married. Our Lu family is not prosperous, you have to add a man and a half woman to our Lu family to continue the incense. β
"Mom, it's too early."
"Your mother said this, and I agree with it."
"Not early, not early, man, sooner or later you have to start a family, first start a family, then start a business, you will get married after graduating from the military academy, I have found someone for you, it is Miss Xu who came to our house today. This Miss Xu, the more I look at it, the more I like it, she is beautiful, knowledgeable, gentle and elegant, she must be your virtuous helper in the future, and she can teach her husband and children. β
"There are not many girls who can enter your mother's eyes, presumably this Miss Xu is indeed the phoenix among people." Lu Yixiang listened to his wife's narration with great interest.
"Mom, do you also have a crush on Miss Xu?"
"Who wouldn't like such a nice girl? Their family is a scholarly family, our family is a rich party, and the ancestors have also gone out to explore flowers, the editing of the Hanlin Academy, and the door is right. β
"Mom, before you can skim these eight characters, you start to think nonsense."
"Lin'er, don't you like Miss Xu?"
"I didn't say I didn't like it, it's just that we just met today, and I don't know her yet. In case someone has already been engaged, won't I become unrequited love? β
"So, you have to have more contact with this Miss Xu in the future to understand and understand. Don't let such a nice girl run away for others. β
"I agree with this, and I will ask Miss Xu to come to our house often to play in the future."
After that, Shuxian became a guest of honor in the Lu Mansion, and the beautiful piano ensemble sound could often be heard from Lu Yulin's room. Lu Yulin also often waited for Shuxian to get out of school at the gate of Peiwen Girls' School, and the two walked on Lin ** with a smile and a smile.
On the shore of Zhilan Lake, Shuxian was riding a bicycle, Lu Yulin was supporting and running behind, and Yurong was holding the package and following behind.
"Emphasizing color and ignoring friends, forgetting righteousness when seeing color, liking the new and hating the old, and thinking differently." Yurong muttered as she walked.
"Yurong, hurry up, let's go to the pavilion there, you come with me quickly, Shuxian and I are hungry, you quickly bring the canned food."
"Got it, young master."
Lu Yulin and Xu Shuxian stopped in front of a gazebo, and the two sat in the gazebo to rest.
"Shuxian, you're tired, let's rest for a while."
"It's okay, you're not tired, I see you're more tired from helping and running behind."
"I'm used to it, I used to be more tired when I taught Yurong to ride, she always fell off the bike, so I had to help the car and help her, and every time I was exhausted."
"I think Yurong is quite clever."
"Clever is clever, it's just that this body coordination is too poor, and she often breaks bowls at home and overturns tea, and my mother doesn't talk much about her."
"I think Mrs. Lu is very good to Yurong. Few owners are so accommodating. β
"Yurong is not an ordinary subordinate, Yurong's parents died when she was six years old, she was sold to bury her father into our family, my brother was still alive at the time, there were two boys in the family, my mother always wanted a girl, Yurong looked so beautiful, my mother raised her as a daughter, although she was a subordinate, but the treatment was not worse than that of the miss, her bedroom was more beautiful than the average miss. Later, my brother accidentally drowned when he went down to swim in the river, and my mother cried to death, so she spoiled Yurong even more. β
"No wonder, Yu Rong doesn't have the kind of servility of a girl at all."
"Who says it's not, this girl is sometimes very rude, even I give her three points."
Shuxian laughed: "Why do you think you look like Baoyu?" β
Lu Yulin's face flushed: "I'm not so fat, I will go to the battlefield sooner or later, killing the enemy and defending the country, this is the true nature of a man." β
"Yulin, are you really going to sign up for the military academy?"
"Yes, my dad has agreed, although my mom is a little reluctant, but she can't resist my dad."
Yu Rong arrived panting and took out the canned food from the package.
"Shuxian, give." Lu Yulin opened the canned beef with a screwdriver and handed it to Shuxian.
"Canned beef, it's not very common on the market now."
"This is the canned food produced by our family's cannery, and in the future, you can eat as much as you want."
"How does this work?"
"Why not, maybe you will be the young grandmother of our family in the future, don't say a few canned food, it is the Lu family's industry, it is all you and the young master."
When Xu Shuxian heard this, her face was flushed with shame, and she hurriedly put down the can and got up to leave.
"Yurong, who told you to chew your tongue."
Yu Rong looked dazed: "Did I say something wrong?" You didn't say that you like Miss Xu Jiaer, but also said that Miss Xu Jiaer has a soft voice and a beautiful smile. β
When Shuxian heard this, she blushed even more and hurriedly ran out of the pavilion.
"You still say." Lu Yulin glared at Yurong and hurriedly chased Shuxian.
"What did I say wrong?" Yu Rong stood there at a loss, scooped a spoonful of beef and put it in her mouth: "Such a delicious canned beef, if you don't eat it, it will be wasted." β
Lu Yulin caught up with Shuxian. Stopped her: "Shuxian, don't listen to Yurong's nonsense." β
"Yulin, we've only known each other for a long time, and we don't know each other well enough, so it's too early to talk about marriage."
"Shuxian, I didn't want to get married so early, you think, I'm about to go to military school, how can I talk about marriage?"
"Yes, a good man should be drunk and lie on the battlefield, and should not be bound by the love of his children. After you have made a contribution, we will talk about marriage. β
"That's what I want, Na Shuxian, you have to wait for me."
Shuxian nodded shyly.
Yulin jumped up excitedly, pulled Shuxian and ran in the forest, chasing, frolickingγγγγγγ
On the playground of the Whampoa Military Academy, Lu Yulin was training in a queue.
"All have, stand upright, look to the right, look forward, walk in steps, one-two-one, one-two-one, one-two-three-fourγγγγγγ" Instructor Lin Bangzuo is conducting cohort training for new trainees.
Lu Yulin in the team is tall and radiant, and after wearing a military uniform, he looks even more heroic. He meticulously followed the instructor's instructions for drilling.
"Stand. Take a break, stand upright, and dissolve. β
When the students heard the word "disbandment", they ran to the shade of the trees and rested under the corridor.
On the wall of the military academy, a head poked out, it was Yu Rong. I saw her looking around, looking for Lu Yulin's figure, suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she saw Lu Yulin sitting in the shade of a tree wiping her sweat, and hurriedly waved at him.
Lu Yulin heard the cuckoo's voice, and immediately straightened up and looked around.
"Young master, young master, I'm here, I'll bring you canned food."
Lu Yulin had a smile on his face, and just as he wanted to step forward, he heard the instructor's assembly post, hurriedly waved his hand to Yurong, and ran into the team.
Under the wall, a big yellow dog ran over and barked at Yurong.
"Go away, go away." Yu Rong waved her hand at the big yellow dog anxiously.
"Who's outside the walls?" Instructor Lin's gaze swept towards the outside of the wall, and Yu Rong hurriedly lowered her head.
"Come out quickly, if you don't come out, I'll shoot." Instructor Lin pulled out a pistol from his waist and wanted to shoot at the wall, Lu Yulin saw this, hurriedly rushed out of the team, grabbed Instructor Lin's hand, Instructor Lin's muzzle was facing up, and fired into the sky.
"Are you crazy?" Instructor Lin pushed Lu Yulin, and Lu Yulin fell heavily on all fours to the ground.
When Yurong heard the gunshots, she fell off the wall in fright. The canned food he brought was scattered all over the ground.
"Go, get me the spies outside." Instructor Lin ordered the two cadets.
"Yes."
