Chapter 44: The Life of a Donkey
In a few days, the people will be sent to join the army.
In those days, people joined the army to carry a big red flower on their chest, ride a tall horse and walk around the village, and be majestic. And then send the person to the train station......
Shi Chen was the same, he stood outside the gate and waited for Zhang Baochang to bring the horse, and he himself was in the village to be majestic. The sun shone the sun on his face, and Shi Chen was very happy, showing a bright smile, it was a happy smile that he could finally do what he liked. Ah Feng also helped him sort out the big red flowers on his chest with a dull face on the side.
"Feng~ You said I was not angry today?" Shi Chen showed six teeth, smiled and said to Ah Feng.
"Well, what a spirit! So handsome! Ah Feng said to him perfunctorily while helping him tidy up his clothes with an expressionless face.
"You look at me and talk to me again, I'm not angry!" Shi Chen shook his shoulders and said to Ah Feng with a mischievous smile.
Ah Feng raised his head and looked at Shi Chen, smiled, and said, "Mmmm, it's so handsome!" ”
After Shi Chen saw Ah Feng laughing, he also laughed together. "That's right, Feng. Smile a little more, so that it looks good. Be sure to laugh more in the future! ”
Ah Feng smiled and nodded.
After a while, Zhang Baochang came with something.
It wasn't a horse, but it looked like a horse. Grayish-brown, with a large head and long ears, a slightly narrow chest, thin limbs, and a short torso, the long one is not majestic. It was a donkey, and Zhang Baochang led it over.
"Let's go, little courtier. Let's go to the majesty! Zhang Baochang led the donkey, walked in front of Shi Chen and said with a smile.
"Oops~ Uncle Zhang, what a joke! Why did you bring a donkey here, didn't you say that it was a good horse? Shi Chen squinted his eyes and said helplessly.
"Hey, little courtier, isn't this a person who wants to join the army? Those Ma Dong and Xi families are gone. Isn't that all that is left of the donkey? Don't worry, you're not the only one riding a donkey, there are several others like this, don't be angry. ”
At this time, Shi Chen's father in the house walked out of the house in order to send off his son. Shi Chen's mother also hugged her grandson and walked out with her.
"Dad, look! My Uncle Zhang brought something to our house! Shi Chen pointed to the donkey and said angrily to his father.
"What do you mean, Lao Zhang? Why did you come here with a whole donkey? Shi Chen's father said.
Zhang Baochang saw that Shi Chen's family was a little angry, and hurriedly explained: "Hey~ Isn't this that there are many people who join the army now, and they have lost all the horses, so they got a donkey over." ”
Shi Chen's father shook his face and scolded loudly: "Then aren't you scolding?" Ride a donkey to join the army, and you are not afraid of neighborhood jokes! Hurry up and go with the whole horse. ”
Zhang Baochang hurriedly persuaded: "Eh~ Second child, we all know something." You can't go up to someone else and grab a horse now! Besides, the People's Liberation Army does not wait for anyone, if you don't go early, the military train will leave, who is waiting for you! What should I do if I join the army? ”
"Then we won't join this army! Don't go, little courtier, come back quickly! "Father was angry and walked straight back.
When Shi Chen heard that his father didn't let him join the army, he said loudly: "Donkey is donkey!" ”
"What do you say? Say it again, little courtier! Father turned his head and said to Shi Chen in surprise.
"I said that a donkey is a donkey, and I must be a soldier! It's not riding a donkey or riding a horse that can change! After speaking, he stepped over the donkey led by Zhang Baochang.
"Eh~ Look, this kid is really sensible! It's so sensible! Zhang Baochang said with a smile while stretching out his hand and showing his thumb.
Shi Chen's father saw his son riding on the donkey, he was angry, pointed at Shi Chen and said, "You come down for me!" Shame on me! ”
"Uncle Zhang, let's go!"
"Gotcha! Another family has enlisted in the army! Uncle Zhang shouted loudly, led the donkey and left.
"How is this kid the same as that donkey, donkey, donkey? Get down! Give me down! The father shouted as he followed.
Ah Feng was also going out with him, but was stopped by his mother-in-law and said, "Don't go out with our women, ride a donkey to join the army, we can't afford to lose this person!" ”
Shi Chen felt that this day was more handsome than the day he got married! He held his head high and said not a word. With a big red flower on his chest, he rode a donkey on his toes and walked down the street. Zhang Baochang was still shouting on the side: "The little courtier of the Duanmu family is going to join the army, one person joins the army, and the whole family is glorious!" ”
Shi Chen's father scolded on the side: "It's not a shame! Come down! Get down! ”
Slowly, the number of people walking around began to increase, and Shi Chen's father slowly lowered his voice. And then it didn't move a little bit.
Just kept walking, walking all the time, Shi Chen and a group of people who were going to join the army on horseback like him, walked through the village entrance together, walked through the fields and ponds together, until the sunset swallowed up all their figures.
When I arrived at the train station, the military train that joined the army was about to leave. Shi Chen got off the donkey, Zhang Baochang took the handle, and Shi Chen got off the donkey.
Seeing that his son, who had grown up by his side for so many years, was leaving, his father also stepped forward and spoke: "Little courtier, before leaving, I want to talk to you well, you have to listen!" ”
Shi Chen looked at his father and said, "If you have anything to say, you can say it, Dad!"
"When you go to the front line to fight, it's not like playing at home. If the battle is fierce, don't rush to the top, leave yourself a way to live. After saying that, the father burst into tears like a child.
"Dad, why are you still crying? It's not good for outsiders to see it. Shi Chen hurriedly stretched out his sleeve and wiped it from the corner of his father's eyes.
"You're also a father, don't forget to come back! My grandson doesn't have a name yet! Father said with a sob.
After Shi Chen saw his father crying, he also shed tears, he turned his head and asked Zhang Baochang: "Uncle Zhang, where is the train going?" ”
"Go to Mukden!" Zhang Baochang replied on the sidelines that at that time, "Fengtian Province" had just been renamed "Liaoning Province", and because information and communication were not developed, Liaoning Province was still called Fengtian Province in some rural areas.
Shi Chen suddenly remembered what the old monk said to him: "Your son's name still needs to be decided by you!" ”
"Dad! The son's name is called Duanmu Fengtian! ”
"Good! Duanmu Fengtian, good name! Good name! Father said repeatedly.
"Woo~" The train made a moving sound, Shi Chen stepped onto the train, and slowly the train began to start.
"Son! I'm going to come back, I'm going to come back alive! I'm waiting for you at home. Shi Chen's father said while chasing the train.
"Dad, I'll be back, I will definitely be back!"
And so the train slowly started, accelerated, honked, and ran into the distant night...... Baidu takes a look at the latest chapter of "Men's World Masterpiece Literature" to read for free for the first time.
