Chapter 68: Mom! Your son is an officer!
Almost every household in Li Village stopped by the roadside to watch.
At the same time, there was a lot of discussion.
After learning that Li Xiu had made meritorious contributions in the army, his face was full of envy and admiration.
And at this time.
The Li family.
Mama Li listened to the movement outside, and her heart jumped.
"Do you hear what's going on outside?"
Mama Li tugged at the corner of her husband's clothes and asked.
Father Li listened carefully, and just as he wanted to speak, he suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door.
"Hey! Is Sister Hu here? Is Brother Li here? ”
Mother Li hurriedly said, "Yes, at home." ”
As soon as Mama Li opened the door, she immediately saw her neighbor Aunt Wang shouting at the top of her voice: "Sister Hu, did you hear the movement outside the door?" I've heard people say that your baby has made meritorious service in the army. It's still first-class merit. ”
Aunt Wang said excitedly.
"First-class merit?! What? ”
Li Xiu's mother's heartbeat increased rapidly.
Mother Li had asked Second Uncle Li Xiu about the concept of various merits before.
The third-class merit is received by standing, the second-class merit is received by lying down, and the first-class merit is received by the family.
In other words, if you want to make second-class merit, you may lack an arm and a broken leg, not to mention first-class merit, and it is very good to be alive.
Now, it is said that it is necessary to receive first-class merit, and the first thing Li Ma is worried about is whether Li Xiu has an accident.
"You said, is the money Zhang Yang gave to our family a pension from the state to Xiu'er?"
Li's mother's eyes were full of worry.
Father Li quickly calmed down and immediately said, "No, if it is really a condolence, I will definitely not let Zhang Yang send it." It should have been sent to us by the village chief. ”
Father Li's words were very reasonable, and Mother Li breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, what's wrong with you? Such an honorable thing? Why are you unhappy, but sad? Aunt Wang didn't expect Li Xiu's parents to react like this, and said: "Your baby is really straight, really magnificent, and walks like a big official." ”
"How is my son?" Mama Li hurriedly asked.
At this time.
The sound of gongs and drums outside the door is getting closer.
Then, Li's mother heard Li Xiu's voice.
"Mom, Dad! I am back!! ”
Li Xiu stood in front of the door made of black and yellow wood, and suddenly felt that this door was so short.
A feeling of familiarity and strangeness haunted me at this time.
Li Xiu pushed open the door without hesitation, and then immediately rushed in.
At this time, Mama Li also immediately saw Li Xiu.
Then she rushed forward.
Her son's legs and feet were fine, so she immediately touched Li Xiu's hand.
It's okay, it's okay, both hands are still there.
In this way, Li's mother checked Li Xiu's arms, legs and feet as if she was checking parts, and then said with a relaxed heart: "Son, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay." ”
"What can I do?"
Li Xiu smiled, and then, Li Xiu couldn't wait to pull up the medal on his chest, and proudly introduced: "Mom! You see, this is the honor of your son in the army. This is a first-class merit, this is a second-class merit in wartime, this, this one is more average, this is a third-class merit, look, I have two. ”
"I was the first in our division to receive a first-class merit this year. ……”
On the side, the soldiers who helped Li Xiu carry the plaque became more and more shocked the more they listened.
And a second-class merit in wartime?!
It was wartime, which proved that Li Xiu had at least carried out life and death tasks.
He was already shocked all the way.
Now, I can't say anything.
In wartime, second-class merit is not worse than first-class merit at all, and even the treatment is calculated according to first-class merit.
And when he heard him introduce the third-class skills to be more ordinary, he was even more in a bad mood.
Two third-class merits, but his dream in the army is to be directly promoted to become an officer.
Li Xiu actually said that it was very ordinary?
Immediately afterwards, Li Xiu raised the epaulettes on his shoulders and said with a smile: "Mom! I'm an officer! ”
"Look, we all call him a dime, I'm a second lieutenant!"
Li's mother was very moved.
At this time, in addition to being happy, what emotions will she have in her heart?
At this time, Father Li looked at the leaders who were still standing behind him, and suddenly came to his senses.
"Leadership... Leaders, please come in. ”
He was a little flustered and cleaned up the slightly messy sofa, and immediately prepared to go to the cabinet to get fruit for entertainment.
At this time, Father Li secretly counted the number of leaders, and soon saw the mayor in the last row.
The mayor is such a big person, and he is still standing at the end.
It's a big battle.
At the same time, I can't help but sigh.
Li Xiu, this kid, is angry. This kind of battle was put 20 years ago, that is, the champion returned to his hometown to serve as a county official, which was a merit award from the state.
People from the main government, the armed forces department, and the TV station all came.
The mayor also hurriedly stepped forward, pulled up Li's father and said, "Don't bother. Don't bother. ”
The plaque of the first class merit is large and very bright.
The Li family is relatively dilapidated, and there is a layer of cobwebs on it.
Although it was newly knotted, it really didn't have time to clean it.
When I put it on, it always feels a little mismatched.
At this time, the committee stood up and said with a smile: "You comrades, help clean up, you must clean it up." Mainly outside the house and on the ground. ”
After thinking about it, he asked Li Xiu's parents again, and said, "Two old people, it's inconvenient." ”
Mother Li's father blushed.
The house is a little dirty, which is a shame for Li Xiu.
Since Li Xiu left the house, they didn't have the heart to clean. And in the countryside ... It is true that it is not as meticulous as city people.
Seeing this, Li Xiu also said: "Convenience is convenience, but I am a little embarrassed." ”
"You won the first-class merit, you are a hero of the country, how can you be embarrassed?" The mayor waved his hand and said, "Come, build me a broom too." Hero of the nation, deserves this treatment! ”
After the mayor finished speaking, he took a broom from the hand of one of the soldiers, and actually swept the ground.
This move is a big surprise.
The others didn't stare dryly, and immediately joined in cleaning when they saw this.
Li Xiu was also a little helpless.
However, although he knew that this was a means of propaganda, Li Xiu had nothing to do, he couldn't grab the broom, right?
I can only say no. At the same time, he was also involved in cleaning.
Li Xiu's house is not big, and it will be almost sorted out in two minutes.
The other villagers saw it in their eyes, and one by one they were not only shocked but envious.
The baby of the Li family, is it so amazing?
This time, it caused a sensation again.
Originally, the movement here has attracted people who watched the excitement all the way.
Even if they don't know and don't know what the concept is, when they see the stars on their uniforms, they know that these are big people.
The news also went viral throughout Li Village and even in the town.
No way, first-class hero.
There are a few people in the village who have been soldiers, and they all know the concept.
……………………
Then, the ceremony proceeded in order.
The plaque is delivered to the doorstep. A commendation ceremony was held on site.
Li Xiu's parents had a big red flower on their chests, and the leaders of the military region delivered a speech and read out Li Xiu's exploits aloud.
Of course, the specifics were concealed.
But when the number of Li Xiu's military exploits was said, it also set off waves again. The reporters of the TV station were also very excited, and recorded the record exactly at all.
In fact, Li Xiu himself was also very excited about this process.
It's inevitable.
The home of the first-class meritorious hero, such a title is too glorious. Everyone has vanity, and Li Xiu is not exempt from vulgarity. What's more, Li Xiu himself is also a layman who occasionally likes to pretend to be compared.
"This kid, it's amazing, he's already an officer"
"The future is the general's material."
"General? Shhh, can Li Cun produce a general? ”
"Alas, the Li family is really smoking from the ancestral tomb."
There are more and more people and villagers around, all discussing Li Xiu's deeds, and the voices have basically not stopped.
And after the end of the first-class meritorious service plaque, there is also a smaller plaque of the second-class meritorious service's house.
This merit is even more obscure.
At first, Li Xiu was worried that his parents would be worried, but now he was relieved. Judging from the speech of the main committee, Li Xiu estimated that even he was not very clear about the specific tasks he was performing.
Otherwise, although Li Xiu sniped armed criminals, he was not soft at all.
But I still don't want to have the title of 'murderer'.
After the process was over, the city leaders also began to express their condolences to the families.
At this time, real money was also sent to the town.
The town rewarded 10,000, and the city rewarded 20,000. They were all taught to Li Xiu personally, and they were also Li Xiu's meritorious awards.
plus the 20,000 yuan given by the troops, a first-class merit, and a full 50,000 yuan was rewarded.
Subsequently, the mayor kindly popularized various benefits for Li Xiu's parents as first-class meritorious heroes, which surprised Li Xiu's parents again and again.
"I don't need money to go out and take the bus to see a doctor?"
"There's also a subsidy for going out to eat?"
"Will there be a bonus policy for future generations?"
“……”
Li Xiu's parents don't care much about the first few items, but who doesn't care about the last one? Especially for rural people, the future generations are valued more than anything else.
The leaders did not stay overnight.
When it was seven o'clock, they left one by one.
But in Li Xiu's house, the excitement has not disappeared.
Li's father kept answering the phone, and Li Xiu's family also had relatives and neighbors come to visit the house one after another.
There is no way, this glorious thing is spreading too fast. They also came too fast.
I don't even have many opportunities to talk to my parents. Fidgety very.
He had to receive these relatives and friends.
"Oh, Xiu'er is back? I knew that you would be great when you grew up, and now you are a first-class merit and a second-class merit, I heard your brother say that our old Li family is going to be a general. Aunt Li Xiu came from the city next door, and as soon as they met, she took Li Xiu's hand and put it on her palm, with a smile on her face, which was called enthusiasm.
"Good luck. Haha, the general is still too far away. Li Xiu could only laugh helplessly.
This aunt, he didn't know much before, anyway, she wasn't close, but now Li Xiu has made a first-class meritorious service in the army, so she also came to be familiar with Li Xiu.
There are many similar relatives.
Still, the general was too far away. In times of peace, it's too difficult.
"Don't be modest, you don't need to be modest about this kind of thing."
……
"Haha"
Li Xiu fooled the past, just said goodbye to this aunt, and went out and met a neighbor who went out for a walk, as soon as Li Xiu came out, they pointed at Li Xiu and shouted the future general, which made Li Xiu a little embarrassed.
"Lao Li's family, it's really the ancestral tomb that is smoking. I heard my son in the army say that if he has made a first-class meritorious service in the army, he will be promoted in the future like riding a rocket, and the speed of promotion is unimaginable..."
"Hey, I also have a little girl at home who is going to college, and she is also quite aura. This kid from the Li family is doing this, I don't know if I can find a matchmaker to talk about it? ”
……
