Chapter VI
Wang Changgui and Yang May's marriage has entered a substantial stage. On the wedding night, Wang Changgui and Yang May had the following conversation about Ma Bayi.
Yang May stroked Wang Changgui's purple waist and said: I didn't expect Ma Ba to be so ruthless.
Wang Changgui: I dare say that he didn't study well when he was a child.
Yang May: He is the head of a boy and often leads people into fights.
Wang Changgui: It's really dangerous for this kind of person to be buried in the revolutionary ranks, but fortunately I found it early, and I didn't think he was a thing when he came.
Yang May: He doesn't have anything else but fighting.
Wang Changgui: These high-ranking children don't have a good thing.
Wang Changgui said this, knowing that he was out of his mouth, he hurriedly changed his words: There are really too few children like you.
Yang May pillowed her head on Wang Changgui's not strong arm, and the wedding night temporarily brought her a hint of sweetness.
Wang Changgui said: Let's take the time to see your parents and your mother.
Yang May snorted.
Wang Changgui said: I will be filial to your parents in the future, they have been revolutionary all their lives, and they should have a happy old age.
When Yang May heard this, she was moved, and tears quietly flowed out, wetting Wang Changgui's arm.
After a while, Wang Changgui said: We are so far away in the 21st Division, we can't take care of our parents, you can mention it when it's convenient, see if you can transfer us to the military region, in that case, it will be convenient for us to take care of it.
When Yang May heard this, he didn't think much about it, but just nodded gratefully.
Wang Changgui's original intention is also here, and Yang May is just his bridge to the future. After all, the 21st Division is a small unit, the garrison conditions are not good, the military region is in the provincial capital, it is a big place, and many officers work hard just to be transferred to work in the organs of the military region. The organization is large, and there are many opportunities for promotion. He married Yang May, and even if the bridge was built, he was waiting for him to go all the way down. In his eyes, it doesn't matter whether Yang May is beautiful or not, the important thing is that she is Minister Yang's daughter and a bridge on his way forward. With the bridge, he has everything. In the past, including in the days to come, Yang May's beauty and beauty, he has always turned a blind eye, and through Yang May, he saw the high-flying Minister Yang.
During the Spring Festival, Wang Changgui and Yang May both took leave and returned to the military region. In that short period of more than ten days, Wang Changgui used all his strength to show himself. When she first entered the house, Yang May's mother looked down on this son-in-law, and she and Minister Yang were lying on the bed talking about Wang Changgui.
The mother said, "How can this boy be like a peasant?"
Minister Yang said: People should not be disguised. What's wrong with the peasant, I was also a peasant before I became a soldier.
Mother said: He is so old, he is blind for five months, and when the two of them are together, they think he is her uncle.
Minister Yang said: Don't talk nonsense, Changgui is an advanced figure in the 21st Division, and those who can be promoted to stay in the army now are top talents.
The mother didn't say anything, she sighed for her daughter to find such a son-in-law, and she didn't sleep well for several nights. Wang Changgui also knew that his mother-in-law was not optimistic about himself, he knew in his heart, as long as he had time and let him express himself, everything would not be a problem.
In the next time, Wang Changgui really showed his talents, he mopped the floor and wiped the glass, rushed to cook, never let his father-in-law and mother-in-law move when eating, he never let his father-in-law move, he should never be thin, he accompanied his father-in-law to read the newspaper at night, discussed international and domestic affairs, walked with his mother-in-law in the morning, bought vegetables, and called his mother for a short time, he hugged his mother-in-law, there was a section of ice on the road ahead, he said that he would not let his mother-in-law go, and he must carry his mother-in-law over. Carrying the ice road did not count, he had to walk a long way, and it was not until he was almost at the door of the building that he put his mother-in-law down. The hard work paid off, and the mother-in-law was finally moved, she thought that her daughter had found such a man who knew cold and hot, and she was relieved in her life.
The night before leaving, after eating, the family sat in the living room and talked, Wang Changgui suddenly knelt down for the two old men, and then said with tears in his eyes: Dad, Mom, I and May will leave tomorrow, nothing else, the second old man is so old, we are gone, I really can't rest assured, what can happen to something.
Wang Changgui's words were sincere, and the two old men were so moved that they kept rubbing their hands.
Wang Changgui lost no time in saying: Mom and Dad, don't worry, May and I are working hard to be transferred to your second elder as soon as possible, so that you two elders will have a happy old age, we can do anything.
After speaking, he knocked his head twice.
Before going to bed at night, he wiped the floor again, and filled the second elder's bedside teacup with hot water. Then he walked out step by step.
That night, the two old men were really moved.
The mother said, "What this child said made me want to cry."
Minister Yang said: I'm not wrong, this kid is duty.
Mother said: If they are not transferred back in May, we will be lonely. There's nothing to do, and there's no one to run errands.
Minister Yang said: My opinion is that I want young people to train at the grassroots level for a few more years.
Mother didn't mention it.
Not long after Wang Changgui and Yang May left, Minister Yang suffered a stroke and was sent to the hospital for rescue for a while, and finally recovered, but his mental and physical strength were not as good as before. The mother once again mentioned the old words, this time Minister Yang did not insist, and after going to work the next day, he found the head of the cadre department and said that he was not in good health and wanted to transfer his son-in-law and daughter to work beside him. Sure enough, Wang Changgui and Yang May were both transferred to work in the military region. Wang Changgui worked as a staff officer in the headquarters, and Yang May worked as a nurse in the outpatient department of the military region.
Wang Changgui's ideal has finally been realized. This year, Wang Changgui's position has been promoted to the main company, Yang May is the deputy company nurse, and the military region has also divided one-bedroom houses for the two. It was in this year that Yang May became pregnant, and not long after, she gave birth to a daughter.
The mother is retired, and she stays at home and willingly takes up the child for them.
Giving birth to a child is Wang Changgui's second step, sometimes the marriage is not strong, the strongest is the child, the blood and bones of the two are fused together, and they can no longer be separated from each other, so they can't say anything. Grandma and grandpa like children very much. This point was very satisfying to Wang Changgui, and he could breathe a long sigh for the time being. Thinking about his efforts over the years, he should be satisfied, those who were promoted in the same year as him, the fastest is now the deputy company commander, and there are a few who changed jobs because they couldn't be promoted. Think about yourself, you are coming down, and you are about to be a deputy battalion. Once you arrive at the deputy battalion, it is another level, if your wife and children are not around, you can join the army, of course, he does not have this problem. But the next step is that he can justifiably divide the house, the barracks house has two bedrooms and one living room, which means that in this city, he can take root. He thought of his hometown again, and his heart trembled.
In the compound of the military region, he met Ma Bayi twice, and after Ma Bayi was demobilized, he entered the Public Security Bureau. The current Ma Bayi is dressed in a public security uniform. The first time he saw Ma Bayi, he didn't react, but Ma Bayi recognized him first.
Ma Bayi said grinningly: Isn't this Wang Changgui? Out of breath, ran to the military area to mix.
He recognized Ma Bayi, didn't know what to say, only grinned.
Ma Bayi said: What's the matter, I'm also a cadre now, what kind of official did you mention, is it a battalion, or a company? In the future, if you change jobs, you may not be able to do anything.
After saying that, Ma Bayi left.
He looked at Ma Bayi's back, he didn't breathe for a long time, and he felt a kind of sadness again. This is the children of cadres, he has worked hard for so many years and sacrificed so much, and the children of cadres have caught up with themselves after turning a corner. He was sad and inferior, and he kept watching Ma Bayi's figure disappear.
