Chapter 7 The Impermanence of the World

Yunhuyuan Community is a high-end residential area focused on building in Luhe City, sitting on the beautiful Yunhu Lake, a forest park with a reputation of a ten-mile promenade behind the chair, and the people who live here are either rich or expensive. Lao Jiang is a person who pays attention to the quality of life, although the county where he works has a house, he still has to return to this mansion in the city every day, only here, he can feel the peace of mind. Now he is also considered to be famous, but the imprint of rural people has always dragged him down, the cadres in the organs, those second-generation officials who are well-established, no one can really look down on him, and the second generation of farmers like him who has no backstage is difficult to squeeze into the small circle of power. Thinking of the call from his old classmate in the afternoon, he felt irritable in his heart, and the old ginger took a puff of cigarette vigorously, the familiar smell of starry tobacco couldn't help but remind him of the old farmer who lit a cigarette for himself a few days ago, "Take people's money, **", there is no reason to spit out the money in hand. I have worked hard in the Ministry of Armed Forces for most of my life, and as soon as the new minister came, he refused to even give him a chance to make soup, which was really too deceitful. You have to knock him well, so Lao Jiang picked up his mobile phone and skillfully dialed a string of phone numbers.

"Have you heard, Lao Wanjia's son has a physical problem, and I'm afraid he won't be able to be a soldier."

"Yes, it's no wonder that their family must have spent a lot of money running out for three days and two ends."

"I heard that this year's conscription is very strict, and it may not be easy to spend money、、、、、

In the countryside, the old women and daughters-in-law love to get together when they have nothing to do, and the Zhang family Li Jia's short chewing tongue root, whose woman stole the man, whose husband had an affair, the son of this family made an accident, the girl of that family was pregnant, there is nothing in the world that they don't know, they are the best at chasing the wind and shadows, and some don't have a nose and eyes to tell you. Who doesn't talk about people behind their backs? Who doesn't say anything behind their backs? But there are some things that you can't explain clearly, and the more you explain, the more you can't explain them. Gossip is like a flood beast, which can tear a happy family to pieces.

Finally, my parents couldn't sit still, and 100 calls a day forced Lao Jiang to be anxious, and he didn't understand the truth of people going to tea, but these newcomers were too ugly to eat, and you ate meat in a big gulp, and you couldn't even take a bite of soup.

In fact, I don't have any hope for Lao Jiang, and even pity him a little, greed blinds him, and he can't even see the simplest situation clearly, a person who has taken a back seat, fantasizes about eating meat in other people's rice bowls all day long, and it is just a shame for himself, but he has suffered our family, watching the lively scene of firecrackers in other people's homes, I really regret my impulsiveness. I'm ready to go out to work, my dad is right, I should find a stable job, and then get married and have children.

When I was packing my luggage, I saw the enlistment document full of annotations again, and the handwriting of the pen was still clear, especially the sentence "If you have difficulties, find an organization", it felt particularly funny, I couldn't help laughing, the gloom in my heart was swept away, and I dialed the phone left by the old man.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" a majestic voice came from the phone.

"I'm looking for Liang Guozheng, is it convenient for him to answer the phone," I replied subconsciously.

"Sorry, you made a mistake, there is no such person" Then the phone was hung up, and a blind beep was heard.

I feel like a person who is about to drown, knowing that a straw can't save his life, but he still wants to desperately hold on to it, and even sink with the last hope.

"We are soldiers, but we are 、、、、、、different" This is Lao Jiang's favorite song, setting it as a mobile phone ringtone is the best memory of his military career, after so many years, he couldn't help but sigh. picked up the mobile phone, and the caller ID was the new minister, "Hmph, I can't hold it back, I told you to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, and I won't answer." A few minutes later, the phone remembered again, and Lao Jiang had a sense of pleasure of revenge, "Hey, Minister Zhang, what are you doing?"

"Brother Jiang, come to my office and discuss something with you."

Old Jiang smiled knowingly and hummed his favorite song, as if going back to the eventful years many years ago.

The door of the armed forces department was rarely locked, Lao Jiang and the new minister sat down face to face, and in front of them was a document issued by the General Political Department, "Several Opinions on Encouraging College Students to Enlist in the Army", Lao Jiang disagreed, he didn't understand why an extremely ordinary political document made the new minister so nervous, this kind of big and empty official document would not be specific to anyone. Minister Zhang seemed to have expected it, and immediately handed him a copy of the "Luhe Daily" of the day, which reprinted this document with the headline on the front page, and attached a "List of College Students and Soldiers in Luhe City", and I was the first in the list.

"The two documents were delivered to the office together, what do you think about that?" the new minister stared at Lao Jiang's eyes, trying to find the answer from his face.

"It has not been a year or two since the slogan of strengthening the army with quality has been put forward, but this year it has finally taken place, and we must thoroughly understand the spirit of the document to ensure that the excellent source of college students is smoothly transformed into the driving force for strengthening the quality of the army. Lao Jiang replied without leaking.

"Just now the city armed forces department called, the southern Yunnan armed police force received cadres came to pick up the file today, I am very interested in the file of our department Wantian, I heard that you and his father know, or you are better to convey on your behalf, five o'clock in the afternoon, the recruits assembled at the railway station in Luhe City, the time is very tight, I hope you can do a good job in the ideological work of the relevant personnel" The new minister's insinuation made Lao Jiang very unhappy, only the officers and soldiers were allowed to set fire to the people and did not allow the people to light the lamp. It's good that the thing is done, Lao Jiang didn't bother to pay attention to him, and turned around and left in a chic manner.

"Old classmate, your nephew's matter is done, Yunnan Armed Police, what 、、、、 the People's Liberation Army? cough cough, obey the organizational arrangement, obey the selection, that, don't say much, hurry up and inform him, gather at the train station at five o'clock in the afternoon, time is tight, hurry up" Lao Jiang couldn't wait to hang up the phone, mainly because he was so weak that he almost messed things up.

Receiving a call from my aunt and grandfather, my father was shaking all the time holding the phone, "It's good to 、、、、 it's good 、、、、to be able to go" The rural man who was stronger than iron burst into tears at this time.

While our family was busy packing our luggage, a mysterious military-local joint patrol team quietly entered the county seat of Lucheng County, which was destined to set off a bloody storm, and the cause of all this was a wrong phone call.
