002 I want to be a soldier

Zhao Guodong stroked the big tree at the entrance of the village, as if the original company commander Gao was still standing here impassionedly. His words were still stirring at his heart, which was no longer young, full of restlessness and glory.

"Let's go, what else are you doing, there's a big truck at the entrance of the village, and there seems to be a big official."

"Really? Let's take a look. ”

More and more people are running to the entrance of the village to see what the big truck, the rare objects in the village that have not been seen for decades, what it looks like.

Gouwa and Zhao Guodong didn't have the heart to work in the fields, so they put down the work in their hands and ran away.

"See, the person under the big tree is a company commander, quite a big officer." There are people in the village who have seen the world and explain it below.

The dog baby and Zhao Guodong couldn't squeeze in front of people, so they had to squat on a broken wall to look at the crowd.

"Fellow villagers, my name is Gao Jiancheng, and I am a cadre and company-level officer specially sent by our province to this county to recruit soldiers." Company Commander Gao saluted the crowd around him.

"Company Commander Gao, how big an officer is there? Is there a village chief? The crowd of onlookers asked Company Commander Gao about it, causing bursts of laughter around him.

Company Commander Gao also smiled, "I'm not an official, I'm just a guy." But, it's the guys who serve the masses. Company Commander Gao waved his hand behind him, and a group of soldiers wearing steel helmets brought out bags of rice, white flour, and pork.

"I came this time with two missions. First, it is to distribute some condolences in the village to improve the food of the villagers, and second, it is to come to your village to select some seedlings to be soldiers. Serve the Motherland. ”

"Company Commander Gao, this is not a soldier, can you get these rice and white noodles?" There has never been a shortage of these greedy people, and the dog squatted on the earthen wall and cast a contemptuous look at the questioner. "What a shame." Zhao Guodong looked at the dog baby in surprise, "My mother said that if you don't pay, there will be no return, these people just want to be cheap." Zhao Guodong also wanted to see what this Gao Company Commander had to say.

"Of course, whether this is a soldier or not depends on everyone's willingness, I have brought these things, and I am taking them back, this road is relatively far, and the things are still sinking, so I have to stay here, hehe." Company Commander Gao's words caused bursts of applause from the villagers, after all, it is rare to eat rice and white noodles several times a year, and who will be unhappy if they take it for nothing.

"Folks, our country is under threat, our quiet land is about to be covered with corpses, and our relatives, brothers and sisters will be mutilated by the enemy. The time is coming for the country to be ruined, and the wars that are far away from us will befall us. The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, we have no time, and you don't want to see yourself homeless and your wife separated, maybe you will say, what does this have to do with us? Isn't there an army? Now I will tell you that you are not defending anyone, you are defending your own home, you are defending your own relatives. Young people, since ancient times, the fame is immediately taken, who does not want to be able to shine on the lintel. If you defend your own home, you are heroes, and you are admired by all people. Company Commander Gao looked very excited, his white face was already flushed red, and the whole person was like a sword about to be unsheathed, overcoming thorns and thorns.

"I do."

"I do."

"I would too."

Suddenly, many people were shouting, wanting to become a soldier, wanting to defend the country, wanting to glorify the lintel, this is the most important thing, a group of people who have not seen the world want to rise to the level of protecting the family and defending the country without that ideological consciousness. Zhao Guodong was also moved by Company Commander Gao's words, he could think of himself being invincible on the battlefield, admired by all the people, and being a general commanding thousands of troops, just like the legendary Yue Fei.

"I want to go too, do you want to accept me?" An immature voice pierced through the crowd, and everyone turned their heads to look at Zhao Guodong and the dog baby who were squatting on the broken wall.

"What are you looking at? Don't I want to be a soldier too? The dog baby, who was stared at by so many people for the first time, yelled unconvinced, and even Zhao Guodong felt embarrassed.

"You're too young to be a soldier." Company Commander Gao said with some tears and laughter.

"For what?" The dog baby was very angry with her hands on her hips, "Didn't you just say that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband." I can't go for anything. ”

"You are still a child, the rise and fall of the world is an adult's business, and when you grow up, I will welcome it very much." Company Commander Gao was a little helpless about this child. "Okay, each family will send a representative to get the rice noodles over there, and those who want to be soldiers will come to me to sign up, and then at this time tomorrow, we will set off here."

Everyone rushed up and surrounded the big tree three layers inside and three layers outside.

"Brother Guodong, do you want to go there to be a soldier?" The dog baby tugged at Zhao Guodong's clothes who were in a daze.

"Huh? Oh. Go, don't go for what to do. Zhao Guodong replied to his fist fiercely, "I must be a soldier." ”——

I am the dividing line - Zhao Guodong patted this big tree, it has been almost 30 years, this big tree is also a little old, and he has lost the heroic posture of the year, just like himself back then, and he wants to be a soldier with pride.

Looking at the words carved on the tree with his dog baby when he was a child, it is a little blurry, time is really the best tool to kill everything. Only inadvertently can you find a trace of the development of that time.
