Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye...

In the teacher's office of No. 1 Middle School in Guixi City, a teenager wearing a school uniform saw that his eyebrows were delicate and his face was like condensation, so handsome!

At this moment, he stood at the door of the office with a piece of paper in his hand and hesitated, whether he should enter the office or not, his heart was constantly intertwined with him.

At this time, a man's voice came from the office:

"Yan Tianlin, come in, the teacher knows it's you, don't stand outside stupidly. ”

In the office sat a middle-aged man, wearing reading glasses, who looked to be in his fifties, and the wrinkles accumulated over the years were clearly visible.

Yan Tianlin clenched his left hand, his mood was intertwined, he was very nervous, holding a piece of paper in his right hand, and slowly walked into the office.

came to the middle-aged man, bowed, and said, "Head teacher, middle... Good afternoon. ”

I saw the middle-aged man say politely:

"Yan Tianlin, please take a seat. ”

The head teacher warmly invited to sit down, but Yan Tianlin didn't dare to sit down, after all, he didn't come to chat with the head teacher this time, but it was good to stand all the time.

At this time, Yan Tianlin put the paper in his hand on the desk of the head teacher and said:

"Head teacher, I..."

However, the head teacher did not look at the paper on the table, but stared at Yan Tianlin in front of him, and said:

"Yan Tianlin, the teacher knows why you came, the conscription application, you are my student, what do you think in your heart The teacher knows best. ”

"Head teacher, I... I..."

Yan Tianlin was timid and didn't seem to have the courage to speak, for fear of being accused by the head teacher.

Seeing that Yan Tianlin was in a trance, he didn't seem to dare to speak, so the head teacher opened his mouth and asked:

"Okay, Yan Tianlin, the teacher wants to ask, do you really want to be a soldier? Is it because you are willing in your heart, or is it because of family problems?"

At this moment, Yan Tianlin bit his lower lip, plucked up the courage to answer decisively, and said:

"It's... Yes, head teacher, I used to find that as long as you study hard, as long as you pay, there is nothing in the world that cannot be achieved, but now that I think about it, it is not as simple as I thought before. And my own family reasons also account for part of it, and you know the current situation in my family, teacher. ”

At this time, the head teacher did not scold Yan Tianlin, and seemed to know him very well, so he said:

"Okay, the teacher understands, your family situation, in fact, these can be solved, not a big problem, didn't you once dream of being admitted to Beiyi? Now the opportunity is in front of you, and your grades are so good now, there must be no problem in getting in." ”

Yes, once the dream was only one step away from yourself, but what can you do, the dream is beautiful, and the reality is cruel.

So Yan Tianlin replied: "People will change, and dreams will also change." ”

At this moment, the class leader continued to persuade and said: "Don't you look forward to the beautiful campus life in the university? And the army is full of hardships and hard training, it can be said that one is heaven and the other is hell, you have to think clearly." ”

Obviously, Yan Tianlin did not hesitate, and replied with words, saying:

"Class teacher, I know that I am still young, and now is not the time to enjoy a good life, the leisurely and comfortable life in college will only make me lazy and mediocre, and protecting the family and defending the country is the dream of every hot-blooded man, and I am not afraid of hard work. ”

At this time, the head teacher looked helpless, and actually had no words to refute Yan Tianlin, it seemed that it was difficult to change back to a young man who had made up his mind, so he said to Yan Tianlin:

"Well, the teacher can't even refute you now, since you decided for yourself, the teacher has nothing to say, but I just feel that it's a pity that our school has one less science champion. A good man really needs to throw his head and spill his blood, not all the way out is only the college entrance examination, and the army may not be a university, it is gold that will shine wherever it goes, go ahead, Yan Tianlin, the teacher supports you. ”

When the words fell, I saw the head teacher pick up the pen, sign the application form, and hand it to Yan Tianlin.

Yan Tianlin took the application form signed by the head teacher, and didn't know what to say at the moment, so he could only keep thanking him, so he bowed to the beloved head teacher again and said:

"Class teacher, thank you for your understanding, and thank you for your cultivation in the past three years, teaching me a lot of knowledge and the truth of life, but now I don't know how to repay you, you have high hopes, and now let you down, I'm sorry. ”

Yan Tianlin didn't know when his eyes began to moisten, but he held back the tears flowing out, for fear that he would be saddened by the head teacher in front of him.

The three-year teacher-student relationship, how can it be one or two sentences that can be clear, clear words, love and giving, difficult to distinguish and solve, more only reluctance.

At this time, the head teacher stood up, patted Yan Tianlin on the shoulder, and said:

"Yan Tianlin, don't say I'm sorry, go for a physical examination, come on, the teacher believes that you can, the parting words, the teacher won't say much, if... The teacher said that if the medical examination fails, the school will always reserve your seat for you. ”

"Okay, thank you, head teacher, I'm leaving, I hope you respect, goodbye!"

Yan Tianlin thanked the head teacher again and waved goodbye.

Looking at the determined young man in front of him, he has carefully cultivated key students for three years, the first two mock exams, the first in science in the province, and now such an excellent student is gone, abandoning literature and joining the army, it is inevitable to lose his heart, it can be said that he has lost his talent, who can rest assured, maybe he has given him too many expectations before, and now he is inevitably sad.

Yan Tianlin walked out of the head teacher's office, faintly heard the head teacher's sigh, and suddenly felt hollowed out in his heart, with a sense of loss and sadness, and felt sorry for the teacher's three years of painstaking cultivation.

At this time, the tears could no longer hold back the eyes, and rushed out, Yan Tianlin held the application form signed by the head teacher tightly in his hand, and slowly walked to the school gate step by step, leaving the school, leaving the place where he struggled for three years, maybe there will be too many regrets here, but I firmly believe that the road ahead is more dawning...

Yan Tianlin returned home.

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties, with a cloak and a disheveled body, full of wine, and a strong and burly man, saw him snatch the paper in Yan Tianlin's hand, looked at it, and said angrily:

"Tianlin, why don't you discuss this matter with us, anyway, I am also your third uncle, you said that you want to be a soldier, such a big matter, you should hold a family discussion meeting, let everyone express their opinions." ”

This person is Yan Tianlin's third uncle.

Obviously, the third uncle was really angry, which Yan Tianlin expected, it seemed that it was a little difficult to convince him, so he politely said to the third uncle:

"Third uncle, my dear third uncle, everyone has their own dreams and choices, outsiders can't interfere, not to mention that I just want to be a people's soldier now, dedicate my youth and blood, and serve the motherland, this is a good thing, and then it's my own decision, what kind of family meeting do you have, you go to the village with me now to talk about it, now it's time to send this chapter to the village..."

It turned out that he had something to ask him for, the third uncle looked at his flamboyant nephew Yan Tianlin, obviously he could see that this kid was already iron-hearted, and it didn't seem like talking casually, in fact, it was not bad to be a soldier, but it was a pity... And he replied:

"Okay, it's actually quite good to be a soldier, but your academic performance is so good, there hasn't been a college student in the village, and they are all looking forward to your college entrance examination this year, and you will be admitted to the university to fight for our village. ”

Obviously, the third uncle still refuses to go to the village with him to get a seal, and he always has the name of the first college student in the village in his mouth, which is difficult to start, and it seems that he can only continue to use his three-inch tongue to continue to persuade the third uncle, until he relents, Yan Tianlin is very confident and understands his third uncle, so he continued:

"It is glorious for the whole family to join the army alone, and being a soldier can also win glory for the village, so I decided to be an excellent soldier, dedicate my youth and blood to the country, and ensure that I will not disappoint you, third uncle. ”

At this moment, the third uncle seemed to think of Yan Tianlin's weakness, so he used Yan Tianlin's sister as a card, trying to continue to persuade him, saying:

"By the way, Tianlin, does your sister know that you are going to be a soldier?

Yan Tianlin frowned at this time, and thought: Yes, should I tell her that with her character, she will definitely not support her decision, forget it, hide it for a while for a while, so he replied to the third uncle and said:

"Not yet, I don't want her to know for the time being, it's a very moment for the college entrance examination again, I don't want her to be distracted, third uncle, you know, my family's conditions even if I am admitted to university, my sister..."

The third uncle said: "The third uncle knows that you and your sister are the best children in our village, but everyone hopes that you will go to college, and I have discussed with the elders in the village before, and when your sister graduates from high school, she will help arrange for her to work in the town. ”

said this, it seemed that if Yan Tianlin was angry, what girl should get married earlier, so he said angrily:

"Third uncle, how can you have such an idea, what era is it now, you are patriarchal, feudal, besides, my sister's grades are so good, the city's comprehensive is the first, she can be admitted to university, and she also has big dreams, as an elder brother, I am the first to support her. ”

At this time, the third uncle obviously agreed with Yan Tianlin's idea, why did girls read so many books, so he retorted:

"As the old saying goes: women are useless, no matter how good the grades are, after all, it is a girl, and she will always marry in the future, and when the time comes, it will not be all others, you look at the village, which girl is not going to work after graduating from junior high school, and now it belongs to your sister who studies the most, and high school is okay..."

At this moment, Yan Tianlin was completely speechless about the third uncle's serious traditional feudal thoughts, and he looked down on him.
