"Oh, yes, yes. Small army, small construction. Don't look at yeither. Chen Xiaolan hurriedly pushed her two sons into the house, and her voice trembled a little and she took the opportunity to educate her two sons, saying:

"You all have to study hard and be good people in the future. Don't be like Chen Taoguang to learn badly, otherwise someone will clean you up like this in the future, remember? ”

The two boys nodded again and again, and their immature faces of fifteen or sixteen years old were filled with unconcealable fear, but in addition to fear, there was something else in their eyes, perhaps, which could be called excitement, excitement, or admiration, yearning.

"Sister Xiangqin, I also want to be a soldier in the future!" Xiaojun looked at Chen Xiangqin and said with bright eyes.

"Me too! I also want to be a soldier, I saw Uncle Ho's gun! That's cool! Xiao Jian flashed his fist and hurriedly said:

"I want to be like Uncle He, practice my skills, and I won't be afraid of villains like Chen Taoguang in the future! The next time he comes to my house, I'll be able to beat him up! ”

Chen Xiangqin looked at these two cousins unexpectedly, and was already thinking in her mind, these two children have average academic performance, not learning materials, if they want to be soldiers, this is indeed a good way out.

But—

"Fourth aunt, do you want them to be soldiers?" It's up to their parents to decide.

"I hadn't thought about it before, and they didn't say it themselves." Chen Xiaolan's face immediately became difficult, "When your fourth uncle comes back, I will discuss this matter with him." ”

Seeing this, Chen Xiangqin touched the top of Xiaojun's head with a smile and educated: "You are not young anymore, you should understand that being a soldier means enduring more hardships than others, not only do you have to sweat more than others, but you may also be injured and bleed." So, do you still want to be a soldier? ”

Xiao Jun hesitated for a moment, but replied categorically: "I want to go!" I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm not afraid of bloodshed, I want to fight, I want to drive a tank, I want to drive a fighter! ”

"Me too!" Xiao Jian also straightened his posture, tried to stand upright, straightened his waist, and said loudly.

"These two boys, I haven't heard you talk about being soldiers before. I'm obsessed with it today. Chen Xiaolan glared at her two sons.

"This afternoon, the two of them followed behind the butts of the other soldier He, and it is estimated that the tanks and fighters are all from the soldier He, so ah, they are fascinated by being a soldier." Su Mei interjected.

"This, this ......" Chen Xiaolan hesitated with a look of embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

Even if they know that being a soldier is a way out, especially now that their family is related to the army commander's family, their sons go to be soldiers and are willing to work hard, so needless to say, the future is needless to say.

However, when I thought that my two sons really went to join the army, I might not be able to see them all year round, and I thought that they would suffer and suffer during the training of the army, and that they might be injured when they went out to do tasks, this mother's heart was pinched, and she couldn't deal with this matter directly.

"Fourth aunt, don't worry. They're still young, so it's not too late to decide after graduating from high school. Chen Xiangqin patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Also. Also. Chen Xiaolan exhaled slowly, there was no need to talk about it now, which made her feel a lot more relaxed all of a sudden, patted her two sons on the shoulders and said, "Did you hear that, I want to be a soldier after I finish high school." ”

"However, Uncle He said that he would go to the army at sixteen. Graduated from junior high school. Xiao Jun frowned unhappily.

"Times are different now. The army now also has to pay attention to mechanized air-land coordinated operations, and conscripts also want cultural soldiers who have graduated from high school, because when you enter the army, you must not only learn to shoot guns and tanks, but also understand and remember the principles of their use, how to maintain and repair them, and also learn other high-tech technologies. Do you understand? Chen Xiangqin said.

Xiao Jun and Xiao Jian were both said by her, and while the new tide was worshipping more and more eager to become soldiers, they also understood that it was not easy to be a good soldier, so they nodded sensibly and said, "We will study hard." ”

"It's two good boys." Zhong Yue walked in from outside the house and patted them on the shoulder with a smile, "In two years, if you still want to be a soldier, I will personally come forward and recruit you in." ”

"I want to be! I want to be it! When Xiao Jun and Xiao Jian heard Zhong Yue say this, they blushed with excitement and responded eagerly, "Aunt Yue, we want to be it." ”

Zhong Yue couldn't help laughing, and Chen Xiangqin also laughed, seeing a kind of passionate youth in them.

"Well, how is Taoguang?" Su Mei asked with a worried expression, pointing outside.

"I fainted, I didn't let him lose much blood, it's less than 100cc, it won't have any effect on him." Zhong Yue says:

"I asked Xiao He to drag him into the yard next door. Lock him up for a few days, and ignore him except for food for him. When my man arrived, I had someone train him again. ”

"Good, good. Just listen to you. Xiangqin's mother, thank you so much! Thank you so much! Su Mei said gratefully.

"No thanks. One family, don't talk to two families. Zhong Yue said with a smile.

"Haha...... It's all a family, hurry up, go wash your hands, let's get ready for dinner. Chen Xiaolan said with a smile.

-

Early the next morning, Chen Xiangqin followed Zhong Yue to Shuangshui Village.

This Shuangshui Village is Zhong Yue's hometown, and Zhong Yue also buried his 'daughter' here.

Chen Xiangqin looked at the stele in front of her, looked at the tomb of her beloved daughter Yahan, and couldn't help but think of the first time she met her mother on the train, her somewhat crazy words about her daughter, and her experience of committing suicide many times in the past ten years, this heart hurts terribly.

"Mom, the name you gave me was Yahan? Why haven't I heard you mention it? Am I going to change my name? Chen Xiangqin looked at the name on the tombstone and asked softly.

"Mom doesn't think there's any need to mention it, it's good that your name is Xiangqin. A young life is buried here, Yahan...... It's already her name. For so many years, Mom always thought she was you. Selfishly, I'm glad she's not you, but she's also a child. Before I came, I wanted to tear down the tomb and move her somewhere else. However, after coming here, I changed my mind again. ”

Zhong Yue squatted down and stroked the tombstone with her hand, a little trance, reminiscing, and a little sad, in the past ten years, every year on her daughter's birth day, she came here, and pinned all her thoughts on her daughter here, so the child here, although not her biological flesh and blood, is no different from her daughter.
