Chapter 5 Let's settle an account
Every year shortly after the autumn harvest, the autumn recruitment work is carried out, and each production team has people sent from the commune's propaganda team, who carry lime buckets everywhere to find walls to write slogans, and commune cadres go to each house to mobilize.
The walls of Lou Yanni's house were also painted, one person is a soldier, and the whole family is glorious.
When the people from the propaganda team came to brush the slogans, Grandma Lou was making shoes, and Lou Yanni led the twins to stand aside and watch, holding a ladder or something.
When chatting, the uncle who brushed the slogan knew that Lou Jingping was eighteen years old this year, and smiled and said that he would let Lou Jingping try it.
It's good to be a soldier! At this time, soldiers and workers are the two most valued and popular professions, and if the girls can marry a worker and eat public food, or marry a soldier and become a military family, it is a matter of light on their faces.
Soldiers have allowances every month, as well as military food stamps, and supplies every quarter, which can be sent home if they are not needed.
Lou Yanni's sisters and brothers naturally knew that it was good to be a soldier, and Lou Yanni knew that when her father did not pass away, she wanted to send Lou Jingping to the army, and Lou Jingping longed for the green military uniform the most.
But the situation at home is ......
As soon as he leaves, what will happen to the elderly grandmother? What should Lou Yanni do if she is going to get married in two years? And what about twins who are going to school?
There will be an allowance for being a soldier, but if something happens to the family, it will not quench the thirst of the near future.
Two days after the slogan was brushed, the cadres in charge of mobilization in the commune arrived at Lou's house, but they didn't expect it to be Zuo Weiguo, but thinking of the educated youth in the village, Lou Yanni also understood.
"Grandma Lou, I'm here to do the mobilization, your Lou Jingping meets the requirements of this recruitment, and I hope he can go to the township government on time to sign up and participate in the preliminary inspection." Zuo Weiguo sat in the courtyard of Lou's house, and there was a staff member who came with him.
Seeing Lou Yanni coming out of the stove house, Zuo Weiguo handed over the matter of persuading Grandma Lou to his colleagues, greeted Lou Yanni, and slowly paced to Lou's vegetable garden.
The vegetable garden next to Lou's house is one of the self-reserved land, planted with some seasonal vegetables, the place is not big, there are only two small ridges of vegetable fields, but it is very clean, and I don't see a single weed.
Zuo Weiguo stood for a while, and saw Lou Yanni coming to him.
Looking at the lively and agile Lou Yanni, the tip of Zuo Weiguo's nose suddenly soured, and the hand behind his back trembled slightly, he needed to use all his strength to control himself, and he could barely restrain his urge to hug her.
Zuo Weiguo's gaze saw Lou Yanni very uncomfortable, she really couldn't understand why Zuo Weiguo looked at her with such a strange and affectionate gaze, it was clear that Xing Xiaojuan was Zuo Weiguo's object, and she was even a little hesitant whether she should step forward again.
"Yanni, there are some things I don't know how to tell you in order for you to believe me." Seeing her hesitation, Zuo Weiguo silently withdrew his gaze, his gaze fell on the distance, as if he was recalling something.
In his previous life, Zuo Weiguo didn't care about Lou Yanni's family, he only knew that Lou Jingping disappeared unexpectedly in 76 years, and there was no trace of him since, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
In the year when the twins were both admitted to college, Lou Yanni chose to marry herself who borrowed alcohol every day to kill her sorrows at that time, was decadent and extremely rejected from this marriage.
Thinking of this, Zuo Weiguo's gaze at Lou Yanni was full of guilt.
But no matter how vicious he spoke to him, indifferent and rude, Yanni never complained, she silently persevered, took care of his elderly parents for him, raised the two children left by Xing Xiaojuan, and persuaded him to be a good father.
It's him who is not a thing, Yanni is obviously so good, and just because of a piece of news, she went to Xing Xiaojuan's hometown to find someone, but there was an accident, and she emptied her family, not to mention it, and finally her foot was lame, and the family's economic conditions plummeted.
At this time, Yanni did not leave him, but worked two jobs a day, silently helping him support the broken home.
However, when he finally noticed her goodness and wanted to live a good life, she ......
Xing Xiaojuan! Zuo Weiguo's eyes were in deep pain, in this life, he would inflict the pain that Xing Xiaojuan inflicted on Yanni, and return it to her a thousand times over!
What Xing Xiaojuan owes Yanni will never be able to pay off, and what he owes Yanni, how can he pay it off.
Thinking of the past, Zuo Weiguo couldn't wait to slap himself a few times, for the sake of a Xing Xiaojuan, he hurt himself, his parents and children, and also hurt the kind-hearted Yanni, fortunately, God has eyes, so that he can live a new life and protect her wholeheartedly.
Zuo Weiguo's eyes became moist, and before Lou Yanni noticed it, he raised his head and forced back his tears, "Let Jingping go to be a soldier, don't worry, life will get better and better." ”
"Officer Zuo, just call me Comrade Lou Yanni." Because of his overly intimate title, Lou Yanni was full of awkwardness. "Also, I don't really understand, why do I have to let my brother join the army?"
There is no problem with the composition of the Lou family, and Lou Jingping's physical fitness is good, but for that reason, the situation at home, even if she agrees, Lou Jingping may not be willing to go.
In fact, Lou Yanni is very willing to let Lou Jingping become a soldier, she is sixteen years old, and she can take care of her grandmother and younger siblings.
Zuo Weiguo was stunned, he only knew that Lou Jingping would disappear, but what happened to the Lou family during this period, why Lou Jingping disappeared, he didn't know all of this, what reason did he have to convince Lou Yanni, who had always had a very good idea?
Does he want to say that Lou Jingping will disappear in two years, and his life and death are unknown?
That's obviously impossible, the matter of rebirth is too unbelievable, and he doesn't want to be treated as a god stick or a psychopath, and be kicked out of the house by Lou Yanni's big stick.
"Swallow...... Comrade Lou Yanni, let me settle an account with you, even if Comrade Lou Jingping gets eight full work points a day, how much can I earn? The work value of your production team is quite high, when the year is good, there are two cents and five, but when the year is bad, it is only more than seven cents. ”
Lou Yanni was silent, "Nine hundred and twelve yuan and five cents, but if the farmer is idle and does not work, there is no work, and the grain after the grain is distributed to offset most of the work, and the money borrowed from the team for taking medicine when you are sick also has to be repaid, and it is very good to get a hundred yuan in a year." ”
"That's right." Zuo Weiguo looked at Lou Yanni approvingly, his Yanni was smart and beautiful, if it weren't for the poor family conditions, the first college student in Huangqiao Town after the resumption of the college entrance examination would definitely be her.
"You calculate to be a soldier, the recruit has an allowance of six yuan a month, and a ticket subsidy, first of all, he can be fed and nutritious to keep up when he goes to the army, and then another, save a strong labor ration for your family." Zuo Weiguo looked at Lou Yanni, saw her vacillation, and smiled slightly, "Lou Jingping went to high school, and going to the army is more promising than staying at home and farming." ”
Then, adding an extremely heavy bargaining chip, "The commune has a recommended quota, and I plan to report Lou Jingping's name." ”
At this time, Zuo Weiguo would never have thought that his small decision would change everyone's fate.
At the same time, it completely eliminated the possibility that he and Lou Yanni had little hope.
