13. Dinner (finally changed the contract status)
The telegram above, specially recruited to join the army.
The villagers hadn't heard of it and didn't know much about it, but they thought it was amazing, and they thought it was in their minds on the spot.
Thinking far away, I felt that the sky was high, so I unconsciously lowered my voice and didn't dare to talk about it anymore. This is probably the psychological norm that the people of the Chinese sub-grass have cultivated for thousands of years.
Here, Han Youshan thanked him warmly, and Zhang Jiexia served hot tea.
The two cadres sat down and drank a few sips, then looked up and asked, "The child is not at home?"
"Yes, don't you go out early in the morning to inquire......" Zhang Jiexia was halfway through her words, and her husband knocked her elbow from behind, and hurriedly said, "I went to see my classmates early in the morning, no, I haven't come back yet." ”
One of the two cadres quipped: "Female classmates, right? ”
Another said, "I'm going to the army, so I should say goodbye to my classmates." ”
The two cadres didn't sit for long before they got up and said goodbye, and left a phone before leaving, shaking hands and saying that the Han family's parents could contact them if they had something to do in the future.
It wasn't until the big jeep drove away that the villagers' voices opened up again. This is another normal.
The people outside the courtyard of the wall did not disperse, gossiping, asking about Han Qingyu's special recruitment to join the army, such as what the special recruitment was, why and so on.
The two members of the Han family knew it in their hearts, but they naturally couldn't admit the matter of their son's trust. So I can't say why, and the response seems a bit messy.
Fortunately, the joy in the hearts of the two is real and full.
When Han Qingyu arrived home, it was already past nine o'clock in the night, and the neighbors who gathered in Han's house had just dispersed.
The Han family had a happy event, and they couldn't prepare to cook food to entertain guests, so they took out the two bottles of old liquor that Han Youshan had hidden for many years and opened a bottle, so that they finally coaxed the people who were happy to coax them over temporarily.
"What's going on? Dad, Mom. ”
When I got home and saw my parents, I seemed to be temporarily out of the things and emotions I had just experienced, and Han Qingyu was still a little confused when she saw this situation.
"Why, you don't even know it yourself?"
After the old mother finished speaking, Xizizi ran into the house and took his recruit enlistment notice.
Han Qingyu really didn't expect that the notice that would arrive tomorrow would be delivered this evening, and the notice was not sent by Lao Jian.
"Well, the notice arrived before anyone else. ”
Zhang Jiexia briefly talked about the situation just now.
"Hmm...... Mom, Dad, come on. After hearing this, Han Qingyu suddenly looked a little anxious, pulled his arm with his hand, pulled his parents back into the house, turned around and closed the door again.
Then, under the confused eyes of the parents, he asked eagerly in a low voice: "Dad, Mom, did they give us money when they sent the notice?"
Han Youshan and Zhang Jiexia were stunned.
"No, this one, should you give us money? Mother Zhang Jiexia's eyes were full of confusion.
Han Youshan also said: "Yes, I haven't heard of it, I have only heard that there is a discharge fee for discharge." ”
"Oh...... I inquired about it myself before, and I thought that the special recruitment was really subsidized, but I was afraid that you two would miss it and make people red. ”
Han Qingyu even covered up with a cover-up.
I thought in my heart, it seems that Lao Jian took the money himself, and when someone comes tomorrow, I have to remember to ask him for it.
He wants money, at least with the current stage of cognition, nothing is more important than leaving a sum of money for his parents in Han Qingyu's heart, if the source energy block can be sold for money publicly, he will take two yuan to sell it tonight.
............
The lights of the mountain village were lit, and flying insects hit the windows. The sun and moon in Yamada, snakes and rats breed, and mountain people live.
Han Qingyu sat on the threshold and looked at the "Recruit Enlistment Notice" in his hand by the eaves lamp.
This notice is undoubtedly true, it was sent by the people of the People's Armed Forces Department, it is real and tangible, the words are clear, and it is covered with a big red seal, there is no doubt, and naturally no one will think to doubt it......
Only Han Qingyu himself knew that what it was about to take him to face was actually something incredible and terrifying.
Behind him at this time, his mother was full of excitement, and quickly brought the hot food in the pot to the table, and the sound of tuk tuk was full of the smell of rice, and his father took the drinking cup from the old wooden cupboard, thought about it, laughed, and took an extra one today.
On the road outside the courtyard gate, occasional relatives from the village pass by, stop to say hello, say congratulations, and then ask a few more words because of concern or curiosity.
This whole scene gives Han Qingyu a very special feeling, as if the two worlds are quietly intertwined, while the smoke is curling, and the teeth and claws are dancing...... The contrast is silently formed through the curtain.
Everything in front of him is clearly a scene that he is already familiar with, with the most plain and simple appearance of his past life, as usual.
Behind the curtain was the part of the world that he had just seen and was about to participate in, the part of the world that was hidden behind and that ordinary people could not believe.
"I washed my face and ate. Father leaned over and patted Han Qingyu on the shoulder and said.
"Ahh Good. Han Qingyu stood up and put the notice on the table.
While he washed his face in front of the shelf, his parents sat at the table and waited.
Han Qingyu wrung the towel, turned his head, and looked carefully at his parents sitting in the yellow light for a while.
"I'm sorry, Dad, Mom", the next moment, he finally couldn't hold back, and said, "If I had been admitted at that time...... That's it. ”
After speaking, Han Qingyu hurriedly raised his head and covered his face with the spread wet towel.
He thought that if he had been admitted at that time, there would probably not have been these things later, and he was afraid, afraid that he would not know if there would be a return date.
"What are you talking about, silly boy, what are you sorry for...... It's good to be a soldier, but when a soldier comes back, he won't be able to enter the police station. A few years ago, who was in Shanglong Village, came back and entered the police station as a public security officer, and you were still a special recruit. Mom said.
"Yes, if you perform well in the army, I heard that you can be promoted. Daddy said too.
“...... Well. When Han Qingyu took off the towel, he wiped his face vigorously, wiped his eyes without showing traces, smiled brightly under the gaze of his parents, and said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will behave well when I go." You also have to take care of yourselves, don't work too hard. ”
Guan Shan's road ahead, he has no one to say.
Mom and Dad said, "Okay, you can rest assured at home." ”
The family of three sat down.
"This little wine, just leftover. Father Han Youshan picked up the liquor bottle and shook it, and said, "By the way, your special move, it really didn't cost Xiaofei to salute?"
"Nope. Han Qingyu hurriedly said: "It may be possible, the army is in a hurry to recruit some soldiers, so I can't get a good score, especially mathematics, physics and chemistry...... It may be rare to have enough physical conditions left after not being admitted to university. ”
Han Youshan and Zhang Jiexia's faces were relieved, and they nodded, "That's good." ”
"Come, pour you some today. The father poured half a finger of liquor for Han Qingyu, turned it around, and poured a sip for his wife Zhang Jiexia, and said with a smile: "You also mean it." ”
For the rest, he poured it for himself, held it up and thought about it for a long time, but only said two words: "Happy." ”
Clinking glasses, the family of three each took a sip.
Zhang Jiexia and Han Qingyu frowned bitterly.
"Hahaha. Han Youshan saw their expressions, laughed heartily on the spot, turned his head to Han Qingyu and said: "I used to let you drink because I heard that drinking burned my brain, and I was afraid that it would affect my studies, so I didn't let you drink ......."
"It's bad. He then laughed and said, "I heard that the people in the army are very good at drinking, hahaha." ”
How to say it, the simple peasant father's laughter at this moment turned out to be a little gloating.
"It's too late for you to practice, hahaha...... But it's okay, just get drunk a few times. ”
Finally, he said the solution, and then touched the cup in his hand with his son's.
During the meal, I talked almost all the time, and my mother also talked about the relatives in the village and the gossip of each family as usual.
"By the way, your cousin went on a blind date yesterday......" she said.
"Is it done? did she tell you?" Even if it was just such gossip, Han Qingyu warmly chatted with her mother today.
My mother said, "No, I see that she is overwhelmed." ”
"Shouldn't we be happy to meet after eating, why can't we be?"
"No brain, can you concentrate on eating when you meet on a blind date, do you think you can still do it?" My mother laughed and said, "I really have to look at the right eye, let me tell you, either I am so panicked that I can't speak, or I can't finish talking." ”
"That makes sense, Mom. ”
"Of course, Mom has real experience, just when I went on a blind date with your dad before, we had a table left...... I felt hungry when I went out for a walk, so I wanted to say, go buy some baked cakes...... As a result, at the baked cake stand, I ran into your dad again......"
"I'm hungry too. Han Youshan smiled awkwardly and continued.
The family of three touched the glass again.
"In short, your mother knows a lot about the world, but it's too late to teach you. Putting down the cup and continuing, Mom smiled proudly.
laughed for a while, suddenly stopped laughing, turned his head and was silent for a moment, changed his tone coldly, and said, "I didn't expect you to leave home so soon." ”
Han Qingyu didn't pick up this sentence.
Overall, the atmosphere of this dinner is like a downward line.
After the initial joy and enthusiasm, the parents began to gradually realize that their son was finally leaving his side, which was less than three years, maybe many years.
The words of the confession were said over and over again.
Mom's eyes were red as she spoke.
Dad lit a cigarette and waved his hand in a man's attitude to comfort him: "Look at you, what are you doing here? Qingzi has grown up, and he always has to go to the ...... everywhere."
And then blame today's smoke for being very smoky.
