Autumn is the season of ripeness and beauty. Wildflowers are more fragrant and dazzling than spring; The poplars and ginkgo biloba by the river are sprinkled with yellow and green leaves in the autumn wind, and under the sunset, they are even more light and flying. The village is lined with piles of harvested paddy like pagodas. And every house in the village also spit out wisps of smoke. If a poet walks by, he must be emotional!

But Liu Junsheng doesn't have any poetic feelings, perhaps because he is used to seeing his hometown. As soon as I walked into the village, I began to meet acquaintances constantly.

"Toshiko, you're going home."

"Brother Junsheng, your mother still remembered you yesterday, and now she is really prosperous."

"Three boys, one day help your nephew ask if you want anyone to come to the camp. Help in the township! ”

Liu Junsheng only smiled and responded to the greeting, but when he heard the last sentence, his face hesitated. "The chief said that there may be no one for the time being, if there is someone inside, I will definitely inform the third uncle first."

"That's good, if Mingli is not busy, come to my house, I'll catch a duck and play pot village song."

"I'm afraid I don't have time, I'm going to Township Chief Li's house tomorrow."

After politely refusing, he quickened his footwork, and the family was still waiting for him.

"Yaya (father), Lele (mother)," he cried excitedly. He saw his parents standing on a platform outside the door.

"Guo Guo Guo (brother)", his 6-year-old brother pounced and took the big bag on his back, and sure enough, there were a lot of delicious things in it.

"I know it's just right, whether there is a good study in the school." He tried to pretend to be serious.

"I know how to study hard." Then, the little hairy child "at the beginning of man, the nature is good" memorized the three-character scripture.

Hearing his brother's lovely voice, the hard work of his journey vanished in an instant. He pulled out a wooden box cannon from the innermost part of his bag. Sure enough, this thing is definitely a big killer for children in this era. After a while, the cats, dogs, chickens, and ducks in the family began to be "shot" by him.

After dinner, his father, Balabala, smoked a dry cigarette and listened to his most promisingly spoken son about the barracks. Many things had been said several times, but he still liked to hear them, and his son obviously knew his father very well about this.

"The chief is so good to you, you must be obedient in the future." His mother didn't forget to interject when she was brushing the pot.

"Got it." He was a little impatient, no matter what he said, people would be annoyed.

"How's the platoon commander doing?" His father stopped his cigarette pouch.

"It shouldn't be a big problem, I'll start leading the team tomorrow, and I can turn positive if there is no problem in the future." Afraid that his father wouldn't understand, he added, "Company Commander Zhao, Company Commander Shangguan and He all talked to me, and Regiment Commander Xu also met me."

Hearing this, his father was relieved. He knew that his son, although he was only 19 years old, was very calm in his work, and he would not even talk nonsense at home if he was not sure.

"Would you like to give some gifts?" , his mother is still a little worried.

"It's better not to, I'm more sure of this matter now, it's better not to cause gossip, but to cause trouble."

"Brush your bowl!" His father glared at his wife, apparently approving of his son's disposition. But he still added from experience, "If you don't get promoted, you can't send it, so the platoon commander can see if you can invite home for a meal." ”

It was really not easy to do, so he had to move on to another topic. "In the near future, the regiment will invite a group of doctors to go to the countryside to provide free medical treatment for the elderly in the county." With that, he lowered his voice. "The doctor came for two days, the day before for our group, the squad leader and above can bring a relative, let's let grandma go, and the next day you go to the queue early in the morning to see if you can see your legs."

His mother also stopped washing the dishes, "What kind of doctors are coming this time, from the county to the countryside?" ”

"Not only that, there are county, there are province, I heard that there are foreign doctors."

Hearing this, his father stopped his pouch again. nodded, "Well, I'll listen to you." ”

“…… In the spring, the fifth child was sent to study, and the school could only teach the three characters by the surnames of the hundred families, so he went to Jingxing Primary School (the fourth primary school in the county). ”

The old father fell into deep thought, after all, the school was not far from his home, but Jingxing Primary School had to climb several hills, and it was very troublesome for the child to come home from school.

"Just let your second aunt's house and give 2 Guangyang a month." In the end, I made up my mind. His son is right, poor pigs and rich students, and now the family is not short of money.

His mother, who had finished her chores, sat on a stool and watched her son talk.

began to talk about his life's events, "What do you mean, Old Man Liu's daughter." The old father spoke slowly, apparently hesitant about it.

"I think two years." Speaking of this, Liu Junsheng made up his mind, "Let's see if I can go back, I don't want to do it yet." ”

I don't want to be fake, I can't see it as true. However, his parents obviously understand their son's heart, after all, now his son is no longer the water duck who used to hold a boat in the river and fish, and now he is an officer, at least in the township.

His son didn't want to say much about this topic, so he said: "After watching the disease, I also organized a movie." As soon as the words fell, his younger brother slipped out of nowhere, "Is it a shadow show on the stands, real knives and guns, killing hundreds of thousands." Then he made a machine-gun firing motion with his beloved wooden gun.

Unexpectedly, the little guy was ignorant, and shouted, "Will you be beaten by machine guns when you fight...", and before he finished speaking, the old father's cigarette pouch had already given this taboo little kid a shock.

The mother was obviously angry, too, and picked up the sole of her shoe and slapped the little rabbit in the ass. After a while, the family cat began to fly, and the dog began to jump.

Early the next morning, Liu Junsheng carried two bottles of canned food issued by the troops, two packs of cigarettes from Daqianmen and a water duck and went out, and the destination was the house of Township Chief Li.

Township Chief Li's name is Li Baoren, and his ancestors served as regimental trainers in the Hunan Army, and he has saved his family money since then, but Li Baoren's generation has long been without the fierceness of his ancestors. Seeing Liu Junsheng visiting, while complaining about what else he was bringing, he warmly welcomed him into the house.

In this era, the words are not so direct, and the head of Li Daxiang will start the relationship between the two families from the eight generations of his ancestors, to how his ancestors helped the villagers in his hometown, and how to be rich and benevolent. What even Liu Junsheng's father didn't know, Li Baoren said it very well. Sure enough, Liu Junsheng looked emotional, and Lao Li was talking happily, and suddenly saw that his unsuccessful youngest son had just gotten up lazily. Nameless became angry and reprimanded: "The little cub doesn't learn well, I want to learn from your handsome brother!" ”

Liu Junsheng quickly diverted the topic, no young man could resist his parents saying that he was inferior to others in person, and he also suffered deeply back then. said: "Uncle Cousin, the main reason for coming here today is that there are some things in the army that need to ask some people in the county and township to cooperate. Soon, he told the things that the head of the regiment had told him one by one: When the doctor and the foreign doctor came to see the doctor, was it in the town or in that village? There is also the location of the movie and how to ensure safety; In order to celebrate Lao Jiang's birthday, the province issued various celebration indicators, and the regiment was ready to sponsor and organize dragon boat races in various townships.

These things have been agreed with the county, but the specific organization still depends on the township level. Sure enough, Lao Li was very motivated. The key thing is that you don't have to pay for these things, but you can get a good reputation, and maybe you can get on the county records in the future.

The most important thing is another thing, Chief Xu is ready to help the county build eight more primary schools, which turned out to be only eight in one county. This is not an easy question to solve. How to choose the location of the school? How do teachers place ......?

Xu Ming's initial idea was that the teachers should be selected from the graduating college students, after all, primary school teachers are not very demanding. The establishment of teachers is a regular civil servant. The construction of the school's buildings and classrooms depended on the help of the township. Xu Ming contributed 10,000 yuan to each primary school as an upfront fund.

This plan is full of Xu Ming's ideals. Xu Ming found that the literati of this era were very respected, the university president could work with the head of state, and the intellectuals were well paid. On the other hand, the majority of children do not have access to basic education. If it is true that the state does not pay attention to education, it is indeed unfair, but the long-term war and huge military spending have further reduced the already extremely poor education expenditure.

The two of them talked head-to-head, and Li Xiaogongzi, who was listening, was not interested, "Brother Junzi, do you really have machine guns and machine guns there?" Then he showed a look of surprise, "I heard that you have the four great King Kongs and the thirteen Taibao, yes and no." ”

"Of course not, we are now a revolutionary army, not a warlord arm, and we don't have these righteous sons, but there are machine guns and small steel cannons." Liu Junsheng responded.

"Then you don't let go of guns and guns every day", Li Gongzi obviously wants to break the sand pot and ask to the end about the affairs of the barracks.

"Of course, I want to coach miles, but I usually put empty cartridges, and I don't have ammunition in them, for fear that the recruits will hit people when they just get started."

At this time, Lao Li picked up, "I heard that you are going to fight with Little Japan in the future?" ”

"Is that little Japan fierce? If you want to fight, do you want to go to the Northeast? Li Xiaogongzi also asked.

Liu Junsheng said with a straight face: "Japan has already hit Kannai, the more fierce they are, the more we have to fight, when will China be afraid of little Japan." The chief is right, it is better to fight in Hebei and Jiangsu than in Hunan. If you really want to hit Qiyang, as soon as the plane and artillery are blown up, Qiyang will be broken. “

Although the Li family father and son had never seen the plane and could only think of the appearance of the cannon, they obviously did not doubt the power of these two weapons.

"Little Japan is not shorter in length". Li Gongzi continued to ask.

"Well, generally shorter than the Chinese, but thicker. However, most of them are loop-legged. Speaking of this, Liu Junsheng looked disdainful, even though he knew that China was far behind Japan, but there was still this deep-rooted sense of superiority.

It is difficult to say that this notion is incorrect, and it was this or similar national pride that encouraged countless young people to engage in a war that seemed to have a great disparity in power. Many times it is not clear what is arrogant and self-confident, but in the face of adversity, it is better to be even a little "arrogant".

The lunch was very rich, even a year ago, Liu Junsheng would not have been able to enjoy it, let alone at the house of the richest man in the township, Li Xiangchang. At this time, the two of them, pushing cups and changing lamps, scooping vegetables and soup, looked like a family was really close.

Liu Junsheng also completed his task brilliantly, which is exactly what Xu Ming envisioned, if his troops want to become the children of his hometown and get the support of the people of Qiyang, they can't just rely on words. Otherwise, it is very likely that in a certain village in Qiyang, a little kid stood on a dirt bag, pinched his nose with his hand and imitated the propaganda officer: "Fellow villagers, fathers and brothers, support us and support the security regiment ......." Then there was laughter.

Establish a sense of honor among soldiers, especially officers, and gain the respect of the local population; earnestly help the local people and get the support of the people; The team strengthened communication and exchanges with the county and township celebrities and gentry, and strengthened cooperation and ...... with them. These are Xu Ming's painstaking management, and he is not sure that this is a broad road to the light, but he is still determined, step by step, moving forward.
