"Willing and willing, isn't being a soldier just to defend the country? I'm willing to sacrifice me, but uncle, do you want to go through the back door for me? The Wei family said suspiciously.

"I'm just recommending it to you, and it's not directly for you to enlist in the army, where is the back door, but the opportunity is given to you, whether they want you or not depends on your own ability, if your physical fitness is not up to standard, then I can't help it." Xu Zhongjun took the preventive injection in advance.

"Well, I know, uncle, don't worry, I will definitely take it seriously, if I don't have the ability to be admitted by then, then I will work at home with peace of mind." The Wei family jumped up happily and said.

He wanted to enlist in the army since he was old last year, but his uncle was not at home, and he couldn't tell his father and mother, so he endured it, and now he finally waited for his uncle to come back and gave him hope, how could he not be happy.

"But you still have to go home and discuss this matter with your father and mother, listen to their opinions, if they don't agree, I will never recommend it to you." Xu Zhongjun poured cold water.

"Uncle, don't worry, my father and mother will definitely agree, even if they don't agree, I will find a way to persuade them and make them agree."

After the Wei family finished speaking, he happily ran home and told his grandparents and parents about the matter.

And after everyone in the Xu family listened to what the Wei family said, they were full of agreement, after all, they still admired the soldiers at this time, and the slogan of being a soldier alone and the glory of the whole family was not shouted blindly.

They didn't pay much attention to Xu Zhongjun's words that he would fight and die in the future, after all, now that the country has been peaceful for so many years, only a few of them go to the battlefield, and most of the soldiers don't have to go.

And even if they go to the battlefield, they are not afraid, after all, there is a person who has come back from the battlefield several times, and they feel that fighting is not so terrible.

"Although you say that this is just a referral, but in essence it is still a backdoor, how do you learn to be flexible now?" After the Wei family left, Xie Xiaonian asked suspiciously.

"What's wrong with being a little flexible without affecting the interests of others? Before, every time I came back in a military uniform, the Wei family would be very excited, and when he looked at me, his eyes were shining, I only thought he was greedy, but now that I think about it, maybe he wanted to be a soldier at that time. In this case, I might as well give him a chance to try, if it happens, everyone will be happy, if not, he will have no regrets, and he can live a good life in a down-to-earth manner. ”

Since Xiao Nian's accident last time, Xu Zhongjun has reflected for a long time, and feels that his previous unbending temperament also needs to be changed more, and sometimes a little flexibility may be able to achieve better results.

But he will still stick to the bottom line.

"Third brother, I heard from the Wei family about him being a soldier, will this have any impact on you?" In the middle of the afternoon, Xu Zhongming and Li Suxin came to Xie Xiaonian's house and asked worriedly.

"It won't have any effect, big brother, don't worry, since I can do it, then there is no problem." Xu Zhongjun said comfortingly.

"That's good, that's good, thank you so much, third brother, I usually see that the Wei family doesn't love work, and he doesn't do his job all day long, and I thought he was going to become a second-rate son, but I didn't expect him to want to be a soldier, it really surprised me." Li Suxin said gratefully.

"The Wei family has been very sensible since he was a child, how can he become a second-rate son, he is afraid that you and your eldest brother will worry about him being a soldier, so he didn't tell you, now you don't have to worry about it anymore, I think the Wei family has such ideas, it will definitely be bad in the future." Xie Xiaonian said praisefully.

"This kid just thinks too much, we are his parents, what can't we tell us." Li Suxin said with a smile that was both self-reproachful and proud.

"Xiao Nian, the eldest girl will get married in a few days, are you going to go then?" Li Suxin remembered that the eldest girl was going to get married, so she continued to ask.

She remembered that Xiao Nian had helped the eldest girl's family at the beginning, and the two families had often moved around a little over the years, so although their family and the eldest girl's family were not particularly close relatives, Xie Xiaonian was qualified to attend the wedding as the eldest girl's mother's family.

"Big girl is getting married? When was it decided? Someone is willing to join her family? Xie Xiaonian asked suspiciously.

Since the eldest girl's family and her grandmother separated, the eldest girl has made up her mind not to marry and will recruit a surplus in the future, so that her family will not be cut off from incense, and her grandmother can no longer say that her family is out of order.

But the eldest girl is average, and she is also famous for being tough and spicy in the village, even if she is 22 years old after the New Year, Xie Xiaonian has never heard of anyone who wants to join her family.

So Xie Xiaonian was still very surprised when she suddenly heard her sister-in-law say that the eldest girl was getting married.

"At this time, most of the people can eat enough, who will go to someone else's house, the big girl is not recruited, but to marry to the Red Star Brigade next door." Li Suxin explained.

"When others introduced her to her family, didn't she say that she must recruit and would not get married? Why have you changed your mind now? Xie Xiaonian asked curiously.

That's what I said at the beginning, but she's so old, she hasn't found anyone yet, and her two younger sisters have also reached the age of kissing, and they are all rushing below, she doesn't get married, and her two younger sisters don't want to get married, so her father and mother are anxious and urge her every day. The eldest girl was forced to be unable to do so, so she lowered her requirements, saying that she could marry the man, but the man would have to provide for his parents in the future, and he would also let the first son follow her family's surname and continue the incense for her family, so when the family of the Red Star Brigade next door agreed to this request, the family matter was decided. Li Suxin continued.

"Normal people probably wouldn't agree to such a request, right? Is there anything wrong with the man's family? ”

The eldest girl and the man met on a blind date, and they are not free to love, and the deep feelings are not married, if the man has no problems, how can he agree to such a harsh request.

However, although the eldest girl has a strong temperament and a spicy temper, she is also forced by life, if she is in the position of the eldest girl, she may not be able to do well.

So Xie Xiaonian still likes the girl very much, and she really doesn't want her to find a bad family and continue to suffer for the rest of her life.

"There is no problem with the problem, but the family is a little poor, and the man's father died a few years ago, and there are only two orphans and widows left in the family. And this man is very honest, he only knows how to work all day long, and the little work he earns, except for taking medicine for his mother, is only enough for the two of them to barely make ends meet, so they are both 20 years old, and they haven't found anyone yet. ”

"The life of the eldest girl's family is okay now, if you marry such a family, won't you have to suffer again?"

Since the eldest sisters learned to collect medicine with orchids and have a way to make money, the conditions of the family are getting better and better.

"There's no way to suffer, after all, her conditions are average, and ordinary people won't agree to her request. However, this family is a little poor, but the character of both mother and son is quite good, especially her future mother-in-law, I heard that her temperament is very soft, and she will definitely not give the eldest girl any anger. And I heard that his family agreed to marry the eldest girl, on the one hand, his son is not easy to find a daughter-in-law, on the other hand, he also takes a fancy to the eldest girl's pungent temperament, thinking that the eldest girl can take charge of the family and establish a household after marrying, so that they will no longer be bullied by the villagers. Li Suxin gossiped.

"In this case, that's not bad, the eldest girl can be in charge of the family when she marries, and she can save her mother-in-law's anger, plus she has the ability and way to make money, and she doesn't have to worry that she will continue to be poor." Xie Xiaonian nodded and said.

It is not terrible to be poor at home, but what I am most afraid of is poor character.

"Are you going then? If we go, we'll be in company. Li Suxin asked again.

"Of course I'm going, I'll take the time to go to the commune in the next few days to buy a piece of flower cloth and makeup for the eldest girl." Xie Xiaonian said affirmatively.

"Okay, wait until that morning, I'll come and call you, and we'll go over together." Li Suxin said happily.

With her three siblings by her side, she is not afraid that she will be bored when the time comes.

And with a college student like Xie Xiaonian as the eldest girl's mother's family, after the eldest girl marries, the people of the Red Star Brigade can also take a look at the eldest girl.

Because they hadn't come back for a year, Xie Xiaonian and Xu Zhongjun took the children to her uncle's house early the next morning.

As for her mother's house, she was not ready to go, otherwise when she ran into Wu Lihua, she would be angry.

After returning from her uncle's house, Xie Xiaonian began to be busy preparing New Year's goods and attending the eldest girl's wedding, and she was busy with her feet not touching the ground.

On the capital's side, Qu Guangming advanced half a month's vacation to the troops, and he wanted to go back to her hometown with Li Ying, who had finished her part-time job, to meet her future mother-in-law.

"I heard that Li Ying's grandmother is old and not in good health, so you bring all these things and let her old man make up for them. Next to it is the gift I prepared for Li Ying and her younger brothers and sisters, and you will also take it with you when the time comes. On the afternoon of the first day of leaving, Grandma Qu called Qu Guangming to her home and pointed to a lot of things.

"Mother, this is too much!" Qu Guangming looked at the stacked things in front of him, which were one meter high, and said in surprise.

"Where is more, not much at all, this is the first time you go to Li Ying's house, of course you have to take more things, if it is not a long way, I am afraid that you and Li Ying will not be able to take it, I still want to get more for you." Grandma Qu said as a matter of course.

It took her youngest son so many years to get back, and he was finally getting married, and Grandma Qu couldn't wait to take out all her belongings to buy a marriage for Qu Guangming, how could she be reluctant to give up such a little thing.
