Liu Dong's turn
The change in Liu Dong's fate was due to the help of Tian Liaoshen's family.
Since Yang Peipei learned that Liu Dong was Tamura's brother, she began to pay attention to Liu Dong. At first, she couldn't tell the purpose of this kind of care, as if she cared about Liu Dong and she was caring about Tamura.
She knew from Tamura that Liu Dong often published articles in the newspapers of the military region, and she read each issue very carefully. When she found Liu Dong's article, she would cut it out and paste it in a notebook, and after a long time, she cut and pasted a very thick one.
Now, Yang Peipei seems to have cleared her mind, and she has been paying attention to Liu Dong, originally hoping to see his progress. After all, Liu Dong is Tamura's own brother, and the two brothers will recognize each other sooner or later, emotionally speaking, she doesn't want Liu Dong to behave too badly, in that case, Tamura will also be uncomfortable.
After sorting out her thoughts, when she returned home that day, she showed the scrapbook to Tian Liaoshen. Tian Liaoshen looked at Liu Dong's name next to those articles, and looked at Yang Peipei in confusion. Since they knew that Liu Dong was Tamura's brother, Liu Dong's name was often on their lips. As long as they talk about Tamura, they will think of Liu Dong.
Yang Peipei pointed to Liu Dong's name and said: They are worthy of being brothers, they are both so good.
Tian Liaoshen still didn't understand, he glanced at the scrapbook, and then looked at Yang Peipei.
Yang Peipei said straightforwardly: We should help Liu Dong, their family is not easy.
Tian Liaoshen understood, and he paced in the living room a few times with his hands behind his back. Every time something happens, he always likes to walk around like this. Speaking from his heart, he likes the kind of rural soldier who strives for self-improvement, he came out of the countryside, and until now, his roots are still rooted in the countryside, and his father and mother are still buried in the cemetery of his hometown. Maybe it's because of his age, he starts to get nostalgic, that is, he dreams at night, and what he dreams about is also when he was a child. After waking up from the dream, he was often in a daze, touching his face, and it turned out to be wet, and he realized that he was crying in the dream.
Yang Peipei's words made him wake up, helping Liu Dong is equivalent to helping Tian Village. More than 20 years ago, when Yang Peipei sent Wang Guixiang home, she entered Liu Dong's house, and she told him all about their family. Liu Erga and Wang Guixiang are both honest and responsible croppers, and it is really not easy for them. Back then, they secretly sent things and money to Wang Guixiang's family again and again, wasn't it because the family was too difficult? Of course, the most important thing is that it is also Tamura's home.
Tamura is their adopted son, but emotionally speaking, he is closer than his own son. If it weren't for Liu Dong's appearance, they would have almost forgotten Tamura's true identity. Tian Liaoshen stopped and said to Yang Peipei: We have to take care of Liu Dong's affairs, not only to manage it, but also to manage it well.
Yang Peipei nodded meaningfully at Tian Liaoshen.
Soon, Tian Liaoshen went on a business trip to the 13th Division.
After dinner that day, Liu Dong was walking in the yard, and Tamura hurriedly ran over and pulled him away.
Liu Dong asked inexplicably: Platoon commander, what's wrong?
Tamura didn't say much, just said: I'll take you to meet someone, and you'll know when you arrive.
When he arrived at the division headquarters guest house and walked into Tian Liaoshen's room, Liu Dong understood who the person he wanted to see was, he was a little nervous and a little at a loss, and saluted Tian Liaoshen in a panic: Good chief.
It was the first time for Tian Liaoshen to look at Liu Dong so closely, judging from the appearance, the two children were not alike, and if you looked closely, their eyebrows, eyes and demeanor were still somewhat similar. Tian Liaoshen, who came to his senses, pointed at Liu Dong: Sit, sit.
Tamura pressed Liu Dong to the sofa and sat down, Liu Dong didn't know why Tian Liaoshen wanted to see him. He donated blood for Tamura, Yang Peipei had already seen him, and the party branch of the company gave him a commendation for this, and this matter has passed.
Tian Liaoshen didn't mention blood donation, but took out the scrapbook: These are all articles written by you, and it is not easy for a soldier to use his spare time to insist on news writing.
Liu Dong took the scrapbook and looked at it, and he was surprised, the book was neatly pasted with his articles. He looked at Tian Liaoshen strangely, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.
Tian Liaoshen took the scrapbook back to his lap, patted it and said: Yes, you are Tamura's comrade-in-arms, he often mentions you, and the comrades-in-arms he mentioned in his letter count you the most.
He turned back to look at Tamura, who nodded at him. Whether it is in the recruit company or in the police communication company, Tamura has to mention Liu Dong every time he reports to his parents, and subconsciously, he has regarded Liu Dong as an opponent. If it hadn't been for that bombing accident, maybe Liu Dong's progress would have been ahead of him.
Finally, Tian Liaoshen stood up: You are Tamura's comrade-in-arms, I just want to get to know you, and I hope you will encourage each other and make progress together in the future.
After he saluted Tian Liaoshen, he said politely: Chief, goodbye.
Tian Liaoshen's expression has always been smiling. Liu Dong recalled Tian Liaoshen's gaze and expression, and felt love and warmth in his heart.
Tamura walked beside Liu Dong and said: You don't see it, my dad likes you very much.
Liu Dong smiled, and he subconsciously thought of that blood donation. For no reason, why did the chief receive him and collect his articles, but he could not find a second reason except for the matter of donating blood.
At this time, Liu Dong didn't know that his fate was quietly changing.
At the party committee meeting that inspected the work of the 13th Division, after commenting on the main work, Tian Liaoshen suddenly took out the scrapbook and pushed it to the members of the party committee of the 13th Division: Have you seen this?
Division Commander Liu first took it and looked at it, and then passed it to the political commissar and the director of the political department. Division Commander Liu looked at Tian Liao Shen and said: I know a little bit about this soldier's situation, he is a soldier of the police communication company, and he is a little Xiucai of our division. He has been mentioned many times by Chief Wei of the Propaganda Branch, and we are preparing to focus on training.
Tian Liaoshen took over Division Commander Liu's words: It is not easy for a rural soldier to progress to such a level, and we need such talents to build the army in the new period.
The members of the party committee of the 13th Division listened to Deputy Commander Tian's words and fell into deep thought. At today's party committee, Deputy Army Commander Tian discussed with everyone the issue of cultivating a soldier who belonged to their 13th Division, which made everyone present wonder about Deputy Army Commander Tian's intentions. Suddenly, everyone remembered the blood transfusion of Tamura, the blood was donated by Liu Dong, and the article reporting Tamura's deeds was also written by Liu Dong. Thinking of this, they finally found the reason why Deputy Army Commander Tian cared about Liu Dong.
In the summer of that year, the party committee of the 13th Division unanimously studied and decided that because of Liu Dong's outstanding news reporting work, he planned to send him to the cadre training team of the military region for half a year. After the report was drafted, it was reported to the army, and then to the military region, and soon the military region sent a reply. The cadre teaching team of the military region agreed to accept Liu Dong for training.
When Liu Dong got the admission notice, he almost didn't believe his eyes, and he looked the notice up and down several times. When he was sure that what was happening in front of him was not a dream, he ran out of the dormitory, ran out of the barracks, hugged a poplar tree by the side of the road, and cried loudly.
This admission letter means that he will be a cadre in half a year. His mother, his brother and sister, and of course his own wishes finally came true. It was his long-cherished wish. From the day he joined the army, he understood that he was not out for himself, but for the dream of his family.
Before Liu Dong went to report to the military region's teaching team, the company commander gave him two days off and let him go home. This is the first time Liu Dong has returned home after serving as a soldier.
Walking into the village, he suddenly saw his sister. My sister had just come back from digging medicine in the mountains with a basket on her back, and the unexpected encounter between my sister and brother made both of them stunned. Liu Dong stood there, his eyes fixed on Liu Cao, he wanted to feel whether his sister's life was happy or not in the first time. Before he could find the answer from his sister's face, Liu Cao cried out with joy and sorrow: Brother-
Then, my sister's tears flowed.
When he saw his sister's tears, he understood everything, and his heart sank.
When they walked to the gate of their house, Liu Shu was walking back with a load of water, and he saw Liu Dong standing at the door. Liu Shu was stunned, and with a "bang", the bucket fell to the ground. Brother walked over quickly, stopped in front of Liu Dong, and looked him up and down carefully.
The elder brother, who has not seen him for two years, is less than thirty years old, and he has already shown the vicissitudes of life. Liu Dong called hotly: Brother-
Liu Shu's tears were already in his eyes, and the brothers stared at them for a long time with two pairs of teary eyes.
When the mother heard the movement, she walked out of the house, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she grabbed her son's hand anxiously, and looked at Liu Dong without blinking. Looking at Liu Dong, she suddenly thought of "that child" again, and tears flowed down her eyes. While holding her son's hand and walking into the house, she was busy asking: Dong, how have you been doing in the past two years?
Good! Liu Dong could only answer like this. I haven't seen my relatives in front of me for two years, and every time I write a letter, I have a thousand words to say, and in the end, what I write on paper can only be to report peace. On the way back, there are still too many things to say in his heart, but when he sees his relatives, he can only use a "good" to summarize his mood at this time. Before returning home, he did not write a letter, did not tell his family that he was going to study in the military region's teaching team, and he wanted to surprise his family.
After entering the house, he handed the admission notice to his brother, and after Liu Shu read the paper a few times, he raised his face and said excitedly: Liu Dong, are you going to do it after studying?
Liu Dong nodded, and his brother hugged him and cried "woo". He cried and whimpered: Brother, you didn't let my brother's thoughts go to waste, you fought for our family. It's worth it for your sister to be wronged, and we are looking forward to this day.
That evening, Liu Shu squatted at the door again and played the flute, the flute was no longer melancholy, and the tune was full of joy and joy. Someone passed by the door and asked Liu Shu: What's wrong, so happy?
Liu Shu smiled and said to others: My brother Liu Dong is about to be promoted.
At night, Liu Shu and Liu Dong lay on the kang, both looking very excited. Liu Shu listened to Liu Dong talk about his experience in the army in the past two years, and Liu Shu listened very curiously. Later, he stroked Liu Dong's military uniform on the pillow over and over again: Brother, what do you think I look like when I wear a military uniform?
Then you can put it on and try it out.
Liu Dong's agitation aroused his curiosity even more, he got out of the quilt, put on a military uniform, and stood on the kang to look left and right. Liu Dong found that his brother was like a different person when he put on this military uniform, and he suddenly felt a lot more energetic. He knew that his brother's biggest dream was to be a soldier, and looking at his excited brother in front of him, Liu Dong felt sad. He looked at his brother and said, "Brother, you like to wear military uniforms so much, when I return to the army, I will send you my military uniform."
Liu Shu carefully took off his military uniform, and said anxiously: Don't, you send it to me, then what are you wearing?
I still have.
Seeing his brother's happy appearance, his heart became more and more uncomfortable. The whole family cares about him, but what has he done for this family? He reached out and turned off the light, and the room suddenly became dark. Liu Dong, who was in the dark, suddenly said: Brother, you should also think about your own affairs.
Liu Shu was dull for a while, and said: This time you are going to do it, and when you do it, it will be too late for my brother to think about it.
Liu Dong choked up all of a sudden, and he said with a crying voice: Brother, you have paid too much for this family and for me.
Liu Shu told his younger brother very calmly: I am the boss of this family, my father is gone, and I am the pillar of this family. Okay this time, when you do it, you are the pillar of this family, and it is time for my brother to rest.
Liu Dong didn't say anything, just looked at the dark ceiling with his eyes open. After a while, Liu Shu said: It's not early, go to sleep. Tomorrow we have to go see Dad, if he has a spirit, and I don't know how happy I will be to know that you have done it.
Wang Guixiang in the other room didn't fall asleep either, Liu Dong's return brought out her thoughts, and when she saw Liu Dong, she remembered "that child". She didn't have time to name the child, she could only call him "second", and the second child should grow into a young man like Liu Dong. At night, she has been thinking about her second child countless times, imagining her second child's life, and more often, she is meeting her second child in a dream. The palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, she loves the child in front of her, and she misses the second child who has lost her voice even more.
In Wang Guixiang's countless imaginations, the second child is clear for a while, and vague for a while. For so many years, the longing for the second child can only stay in her imagination. She knows in her heart that the second child will not suffer any grievances, and must be living happily. But she still couldn't help but miss, she couldn't control her thoughts. She imagined the life of her second child thousands of times, she knew that her child was happy, but she still couldn't stop thinking about it.
After Liu Dong left as a soldier, Liu Shu asked some details about sending her younger brother away, but she refused to tell him, she was worried that Liu Shujie would have branches and disturb the peaceful life of others. As a mother, she has given birth to so many children and knows that it is easy to give birth to a child but difficult to raise a child. It's not easy for that military couple to pull the second child up. They treat the second child as if they were their own child, and if the second child knows one day that he is not their biological child, it will be a heavy blow to them. She has the mood of one mother and the feelings of another mother.
She once secretly swore that unless she was going to die, she would never tell the secrets of Tian Liaoshen's family to anyone, including her children. This is her conscience as a human being, and she believes that good people are rewarded.
Slowly, she figured it out, the right to treat Liu Dong as the second child, every time she thought about "that child", she thought about Liu Dong hard.
Being able to let her see the child makes her happier than having a child. As long as the child is healthy and safe, her heart will be steady, and there will be hope for her life. When Liu Dong came back this time, she found that her son was fatter and taller than two years ago, and her heart was let go.
Liu Dong came and left, and the house seemed to be empty again, so a long longing grew in her heart. She understands that her son is out of breath, and she doesn't need to worry about it, but she still thinks about it, and after thinking about it, her life will be overdone.
