6. Defection
Since Sun Jiashu proposed to be a soldier, the family is obviously a little unpeaceful, a war without gunpowder has shrouded the whole family, with Sun Jiashu's father Sun Laifu as the leader of the formation of the support faction, led by the mother Gao Meiyun formed the opposition, after a few days of "hand-to-hand combat" still did not distinguish the winner, Gao Meiyun looked a little angry, she is the head of the family, that is the real power faction, usually speaking is the most counting, now I can't control the situation, this is a challenge to her authority, There must be no compromise on matters of principle, and she decided on the fly: to convene an emergency family meeting after dinner, and no one should be absent. It's not that she Gao Meiyun is backward in thinking, she has a hard time, of course it's a good thing for her son to be a soldier, but she has a knot in her heart, which has not been untied for decades, that's because her husband has also been a soldier, and has been a soldier for 6 years and has been fighting a tunnel for 6 years, Liu Baoshan, who went to be a soldier with the same village, is catching up with the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and his unit is just pulled to the Yalu River, and the war is over without even seeing what the American devil looks like. Last year, his wife and children were also taken to the county to become temporary workers, Liu Baoshan is a regular worker that everyone envies, the salary is quite high, and he still receives a subsidy of dozens of yuan from the Civil Affairs Bureau every month. Her husband is good, he has achieved nothing, because he inhaled a lot of dust in his lungs when the army was tunneling, and he had an asthma problem, and he was wheezing to death on a cloudy day, according to her words, their grandson family did not have the life of being a soldier, and now her son proposed to be a soldier, do you think she will agree?
After dinner, the family members all arrived one after another, and they quarreled for a few days, but they were silent for a while, Sun Laifu was busy doing the work in his hand without raising his head, and Gao Meiyun was angry with the soles of the shoes, she was very similar to the soles of the shoes, she was in the shoes every day for three hundred and sixty-five days a year, the thimble on the middle finger was polished, the shoes she made were comfortable to wear, and the whole family loved to wear them. The two old ones don't speak, and the younger ones don't have the right to speak, because anyone's words can be the fuse, the family war has reached a moment of imminent eruption, and no one wants to be the first bird.
Seeing that no one was talking, Gao Meiyun had no choice but to speak first, everyone was looking at her, after all, she was now in the period of listening to politics. Gao Meiyun banged on the table with the half-contained soles of her shoes and said, "Okay, okay, now the meeting is held, Yuxiang is the boss, let's talk about Yuxiang first." Yuxiang is Gao Meiyun's eldest daughter-in-law, Gao Meiyun's loyal follower, and the successor of the future shopkeeper, and her speech should represent Gao Meiyun's meaning.
"Since my mother asked me to say it, I'll say it first." Yuxiang cleared her throat, she would not let go of such an opportunity to please her mother-in-law: "The fourth child is well-written and strong-hearted, I know that the school I am afraid of is unsatisfactory, it's okay, review for a year and then take the exam, isn't the third child an example, the first year of the college entrance examination is more than 20 points behind, and after a year of review, didn't you get admitted to college?" What's so good about being a soldier? That's a few dozen dollars a month, it's not enough to stuff your teeth, it is estimated that you can't even afford to support your wife, and now our village can earn him a few times a year when we go out to make scales, don't you say? Shopkeeper's. She touched her husband with her elbow, she married to the first child of the Sun family and gave birth to a son, that is the treasure of the whole family, she is the hero of the whole family, and her status will go up immediately, especially the husband's army, she is even more obedient, when she speaks, her son Xiaobing coquettishly drilled into her arms, "Obedient, don't make trouble, listen to your father." Yuxiang whispered to her son.
"Yes, yes, fourth, your sister-in-law is right, now it is a commodity society, everything looks at money, and you can't make money as a soldier." The army immediately chimed in.
"Fourth, you are the most backbone, I approve of everything, whether you are a soldier for a few years, learn to drive with me when you are demobilized, and ensure that the big girl messes around behind your ass." This is the voice of the second Red Army, he is open-minded, although he is not young, he just doesn't plan to get married, but his girlfriend has brought one after another to the house, which makes Gao Meiyun crazy.
The third navy just went home for the weekend, and today happened to catch up, he stood up and said: "Mom, I think there is nothing wrong with the fourth being a soldier, you should respect his choice, with the level of the fourth brother, there is absolutely no problem in going to the army to take the military academy, in the future, it will definitely be an officer, and when the time comes, you will always follow the happiness, not to mention, you can also leave a house for your second elder to live in." ”
Before the navy finished speaking, Gao Meiyun pointed at his nose and scolded: "You unfilial son, you started to squeeze your father and mother before you broke up, my mother really hurts you in vain, old man, look at the good sons you raise, all of them are like white-eyed wolves." "Gao Meiyun didn't fight anywhere, the situation was just favorable, but I didn't expect the navy to stir it up.
Sun Laifu has been silent, he just lowered his head to scrape the scale rod, several representatives spoke at the time, he has neatly placed more than a dozen scraped scale rods in front of him, when working, he is always used to holding a cigarette in his mouth, talking, working, smoking three correct, although his lungs are not good, but the addiction to smoking is not small, two cents a pack of cigarettes he smokes three or four packs a day, Sun Laifu at home, small things are not at home, only big things have the right to speak, the son is a soldier is a big thing, the power is not used but expired and invalid, He spit out the cigarette butt on the ground and said slowly: "I think it's better to be a soldier, because I have exercised my body and gained knowledge." Usually he talks with a cigarette in his mouth, but now he even spits out the cigarette, which shows how seriously he attaches this matter.
"Don't end up being as useless as you." Without waiting for Sun Laifu to finish speaking, Gao Meiyun began to count him down.
"Am I not uneducated?" Sun Laifu argued, and the green tendons on his forehead rose significantly, "If I had studied junior high school, I would definitely not have sat here today, I'm afraid I would still be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the city!" ”
"Don't be stinky and beautiful, just your virtue and marry a daughter-in-law in the city, I look at that, in the end, I won't be angry with you and run away from you."
……
The two of you say a word, I say a word, no one will let anyone, Sun Laifu suddenly coughed violently, his face turned red, and Gao Meiyun beat him on the back in distress.
The Red Army said: "I know that as soon as you meet, the quarrel will not end, and it will simply be the old policy, vote by show of hands, and if you agree, please raise your hand." He raised his hand first.
Immediately afterward, the Navy also raised its hand. Sun Jiashu looked at the army, and the army slowly raised his hand, and the hand was just halfway raised, when he suddenly saw his wife's almond eyes glaring at him viciously, and he hurriedly put his hand on the back of his head and tickled it.
Seeing the balance of power between the two factions, Sun Jiashu raised his hand and said, "And me." ”
"Come on, you're the party and you should avoid it." Watching TV often, Gao Meiyun has learned a lot of legal knowledge.
The three-to-three tie still didn't solve the problem, it seems that the youngest member of the family, the three-year-old son of the army, Xiaobing, has to ask for the opinion, Gao Meiyun pulled Xiaobing from Yuxiang's arms.
"Bing, come and sit at Grandma's." She asked Bingbing in a low voice: "Fourth Uncle is going to be a soldier, do you agree?" ”
"Agreed." The creep blurted out.
"Shhhhh Gao Meiyun said and took out a handful of candy from her pocket.
"I don't want sugar, I want Maomao, Maomao can buy good things." The creep pushes the candy aside.
"Okay, grandma will give you five hairs." Gao Meiyun took out five dimes from her pocket.
The little soldier took it and threw it away, "I want the big one, I want the big one." "It seems that he is going to take advantage of this time to slaughter grandma.
"Okay, grandma changed it for you." Gao Meiyun took out all the money, there was no one yuan, she reluctantly handed a five-yuan bill to her grandson, "Remember, when I asked you later, I said I didn't agree." She admonished uneasily.
"I remember my grandmother." It seems that the little soldier has already opened his eyes to the money.
After the ideological work was done, Gao Meiyun began to speak: "Now it's three to three, let Xiaobing speak, he is also a member of the family, what he says is what he says, none of us can regret it." She lowered her head and asked Xiao Bing: "Fourth Uncle is going to be a soldier, do you agree?" ”
"Different..."As soon as the little soldier looked up, he saw that Sun Jiashu had made the shape of a pistol with his hand, in the morning, the fourth uncle had already promised to buy him a pistol, this temptation was really big enough.
"I agree." The minions defected.
