Chapter 17 Thou shalt serve the country
In the past few days, Wu Zhe also exercised in the morning, and went to Duoshoulou to play chess in the afternoon.
Come back to cook a meal, read a book in the evening, this day is also quite leisurely.
On the weekend, Wu Zhe's family of three went to Wu Zhe's grandfather with some fruit.
The Second Artillery Dry Rest House occupies a small area, but it is better than a good green environment, which is equipped with physiotherapy rooms, professional doctors and nurses. There is also a fitness room and a recreation room, and the residences are all two-story bungalows.
Generally retire and like to live here. First, it is convenient to have someone to take care of it, and the other is that the old guys are here, lively.
Grandpa Wu Zhe lives in the No. 3 courtyard here, and some seasonal vegetables are planted in the courtyard. As soon as the three of them entered the house, they saw the old man Wu Zhongsheng sitting on the sofa in the living room reading the newspaper, and there was a cup of green tea on the coffee table next to him.
"Dad."
"Dad."
"Grandpa." All three of them said hello at the same time.
Wu Zhongsheng looked up at the three of them, put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Here, sit down first." Xiao Zhe, you sit next to your grandfather. ”
Wu Zhe sat down next to the old man and asked, "Grandpa, how are you doing lately?" Wu Zhe knew that the old man would have a cerebral hemorrhage in a few months, so he was still a little nervous.
Old Man Wu looked at his grandson's nervous expression, and said with a smile: "I'm still the same, my body bones are okay, and some of the pain is also old injuries, I know it in my heart." ”
Wu Zhe wanted the old man to do a comprehensive physical examination, but he didn't know how to speak.
He also knows the old man's temper very well, and asked him to go for a physical examination, as if he couldn't do it anymore, so it's strange that the old man's strong temper is not trained.
Wu Jun didn't speak when he was beside him, he didn't dare to squeak when he saw that the old man was also a mouse and a cat.
On the contrary, He Mei, who was the daughter-in-law, said: "Dad, you still have to pay more attention, we are not around." You need to take care. Your grandson has been admitted to a key university, and you have to watch him glorify his ancestors. ”
"Well, Xiao Zhe is good. I'm so proud! The old man laughed heartily.
"I'm happy that you guys are here today, I still have a bottle of thirty-year-old wine, which was given by the old chief before, and we did it at noon today, which can be regarded as a celebration for Xiao Zhe. But before that, I have something to say to you. ”
Wu Zhe saw that the old man's face became serious, and he also sat up straight and said, "Grandpa, you said." ”
Old Man Wu's body was on a board, and the momentum of Jin Ge Iron Horse was spontaneously born.
Word by word: "In the past, you were young, I didn't have any requirements for you, but now that you are admitted to university, and you are going to the University of Science and Technology of China, then I will explain a few words to you, I know that many people in your school choose to study abroad, especially your junior class."
It's good to go out and study, we have to learn if we fall behind, but you have to come back. Don't study abroad, you don't remember who you are; What kind of blood is left. You always keep the four words of serving the motherland in my heart. ”
Wu Zhe looked at the old man, and also nodded heavily and said, "Grandpa, I remember." ”
When the old man saw Wu Zhe agree, his voice was much lower: "My old Wu family, your eldest grandfather, and second grandfather were all sacrificed on the road of revolution.
Because of my young age, I didn't catch up with the revolutionary war, and later your grandfather and I joined the army at the age of seventeen, and when I entered the army, I realized that our weapons were inferior to foreigners.
The foreigners have good weapons and sufficient firepower. And we can only fill it with flesh and blood. Our better weapons are supported by other people's homes. But then they didn't give it and the experts withdrew, what should we do? ”
The old man continued: "At that time, we had nothing, lack of technology, lack of talents, and lack of resources.
But we have the backbone, the will, and a group of returning students who are like patriots. That's why today's missiles, atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs. We have the confidence to speak. Our generation wants to finish the battle for you, and I only hope that you will be peaceful.
You haven't experienced troubled times, and you don't know the weight of the word Taiping. But it's only been a few years! In the past, there was an incident of humiliating our country's body, and then there was an incident of military pressure on China's waters.
Three million of my soldiers were humiliated.
Hundreds of millions of people in my country are unsettled.
He is bullying us in foreign countries, and the economy and science and technology are not good. We can all tolerate this.
In order not to be bullied in the future, and for the sake of the motherland to be strong, you say that if you succeed in your studies, can you not return to the motherland? Can you not serve the motherland?
I don't care what happens to other people's families, but you Wu Zhe is a descendant of soldiers, do you want to come back and try. ”
At this time, Wu Zhe stood up and bowed and said, "As long as you succeed in learning, you will repay the country." ”
Then he said: "Grandpa, you see if this will work, I promise you." You promised me one thing, too. ”
The old man said: "You say, if you can promise me, don't say one, I will also promise ten." ”
"No, just one piece. Grandpa, you go for a physical examination, supervise me then, and see what I can do for the country. I hope that bottle of vintage will be drunk when I am celebrating. Wu Zhe looked at the old man expectantly.
Wu Zhongsheng stared at Wu Zhe for more than ten seconds before he smiled heartily and said, "Okay, I agreed, and I will let the doctor have a physical examination in the afternoon." I'll save this wine for you first. I hope you will spread the good news as soon as possible. ”
At this time, the atmosphere relaxed.
When Wu Jun saw this scene, he immediately shouted to He Mei in the kitchen: "Amei, is the meal ready?" I didn't eat breakfast, and I was dying of hunger. ”
He Mei replied in the kitchen: "You know how to eat, the starving ghost is reincarnated." Wait a little longer. ”
Wu Jun was scolded by He Mei, touched his nose and stopped talking, but the old man and Wu Zhe laughed.
The old man said to Wu Jun: "It's right not to let you be a soldier, and your temper and personality are really not suitable for being a soldier."
It's Xiao Zhe, calm and organized, and now he looks good at his health. It's a seedling to be a soldier, it's a pity. ”
Wu Jun replied: "What's the pity, our family is the only seedling, and our family doesn't owe anything to the country, the uncle and the second uncle both sacrificed their lives for the country."
Serving the motherland is not only a soldier and fighting, in the future, Ah Zhe will be a great scientist, and he will also be able to win glory for the country. ”
"Shut up for me." Old Man Wu glared at Wu Jun and said: "What does it mean not to owe the country, no country can have me, can have you, the life of people in troubled times is like mustard, there is no country without the party, there is no place for us to live without the country, we all owe the party and the country." In the future, let me listen to you talk about whether you owe or not, and I will discount your legs. ”
Wu Zhe hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Grandpa, don't be angry, my dad didn't mean that." Just say it in passing. Actually, I still yearn for life in the barracks, and when I was a child, I lived in the army with my grandfather for a while. ”
"Well, your grandmother was still there at that time, alas, your grandmother left earlier, otherwise how happy it would be to see you being admitted to the University of Science and Technology of China now." When Old Man Wu mentioned his wife, his eyes were slightly red.
When Wu Jun saw it, he hurriedly said: "Dad, I'm happy today, don't mention Mom and be sad." It's easy to get nervous. ”
At this time, I heard He Mei shouting: "It's time to eat." ”
The three of them got up and walked towards the restaurant.
