Chapter XXV. Notice of Enlistment

As soon as the eldest brother Su Congjun left, Su Qingyun's day of school was approaching, just a few days before she was going to school, the second brother Su Congwen's enlistment notice arrived.

Captain Qin Youfu came to Su's house with joy, the door of Su's courtyard was open, and he went directly in and shouted in the courtyard: "Auntie, aunt, are you there?" ”

"Here you are, blessed." Wu Guixiang heard the voice and immediately came out.

Because of Su Qingyun's improved tractor, the corn in Luoshui Village was the first to be harvested, and it was also the first to end the farming.

"What's wrong, blessed?"

Qin Youfu shook the list in his hand and handed it to Wu Guixiang, "Your family's enlistment notice from Congwen has been sent to the brigade, and I will inform you." ”

No matter what era, it is definitely a glorious thing for any family to produce a soldier, and the reverence for soldiers in this era is even higher, this time, only Su Congwen in Luoshui Village was selected to enlist in the army, and Qin Youfu is naturally honored.

"So fast?" Wu Guixiang was shocked, when did this kid from Congwen report his name? The notices are here.

She hurriedly shouted into the house: "Second child! The second daughter-in-law! From the text! Come out! ”

Zhang Xinlan, who was resting on the bed, reluctantly got up when she heard her mother-in-law's loud voice, "What is this shouting about?" ”

"Get you up, where are so many words." Su Aidang said impatiently, got dressed and opened the curtain and went out.

Su Congwen ran out of the door like a gust of wind, "Milk, is my enlistment notice here?" ”

His white face was flushed with excitement, full of nervousness and anticipation.

Qin Youfu smiled and pointed to Wu Guixiang's hand, "Oh, where is it." ”

Wu Guixiang was still reading word by word, and was snatched away by Su Congwen, "Milk, show me first." ”

"You kid!" Wu Guixiang said angrily, and went to the door to call Su Dalin, making him happy.

What? Enlistment notice? Zhang Xinlan, who heard these words, sat up suddenly and quickly got out of bed.

"Why so fast?" She couldn't believe it, why did Congwen say that this kid was leaving?

"Is the second brother leaving?" Su Aimin's family also came out when they heard the movement, and Su Qingyun asked.

"It said, let me pack my things and prepare for it, about the afternoon of the 28th, that is, the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, there will be a military vehicle to pick me up."

Su Congwen was so excited that his hands were shaking, he had always been an emotionally restrained person, and he was obviously extremely happy when he was so excited.

"The day after tomorrow?!" Zhang Xinlan exclaimed, "This is too fast, right?" ”

Su Dalin had just come out of the house when he heard this sentence and said: "The military order is like a mountain, even if it is to set off immediately, it must be done, if this is before, the army marches and fights, then it is said to leave, and there is no chance to prepare." ”

He looked at Su Congwen, smiled with relief, and patted him on the shoulder, "Congwen, good job!" "Their old Su family can be regarded as a soldier!

"Second brother, cow!" Su Congwu was also happy for him.

Su Qingyun congratulated him with a smile and said, "Congratulations to the second brother, you got your wish." ”

Su Congwen scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "Thank you Yunyun." ”

Qin Youfu said: "That's okay, you guys are happy first, and I'll go first." ”

"Thank you, uncle." Su Congwen said gratefully.

The whole family was very happy, except for Zhang Xinlan, she asked Su Congwen with a calm face, "Did it say which unit to go to?" ”

"Nope." Su Congwen shook his head and said, "I didn't say it above, I guess I won't know until later, it's okay, mother, I'll write back to you as soon as I get to the army." ”

"It's not uncommon for you to write back!" Zhang Xinlan glared at him.

Su Aidang said happily: "Your mother doesn't want it, you write it to your father and me." ”

"Okay." Su Congwen nodded briskly, writing to his mother is the same as writing to his father.

"You father and son are really a group!" Zhang Xinlan gritted her teeth and said.

The matter has come to this point, no matter how unwilling she is, there is no way, Zhang Xinlan also feels sorry for this son in the end, and hurriedly began to pack up his things.

"Bring everything you need to eat, wear, and use." Zhang Xinlan said with words in her mouth, busy inside and outside the house.

"Don't be in such a hurry." Su Aidang grabbed her, "There is nothing in the army, there is still a lack of this stuttering, besides, the army wears military uniforms, what's the use of you packing up your clothes, it is better to bring an extra thick bedding, in case the winter is cold over there." ”

"Yes, yes, futon." Zhang Xinlan was reminded, and ran away like a gust of wind again.

In the end, although the luggage was repeatedly streamlined, I still packed two large bags and came out, and now, I am waiting for the military bus to pick it up tomorrow.

At night, Zhang Xinlan lay on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, Su Aidang's original sleepiness was lost by her, "Why don't you sleep at night?" ”

"Your son is leaving, and you can still sleep!" Zhang Xinlan was so angry that she screwed him, she married him to be honest at the beginning, but now it seems that she is a heartless person.

"Congwen is going to be a soldier, not to Longtan Tiger's Den, why are you worrying so much?" Su Ai Dang turned over and said.

"Alright, go to sleep, don't think about it." The tone of the Soviet Patriotic Party has begun to get confused.

Zhang Xinlan glared at his back, "You didn't give birth to it, of course you don't worry about it!" I don't know when I'll be able to come back from this article. ”

As long as she thought that Congwen was about to leave home, and she might only come back once in a year or two, her heart was as uncomfortable as being tightened, how could she sleep?

Outside the house, Su Qingyun, who was passing by their house to go to the toilet, heard the conversation between the two, she thought about it, went back to the room and put on her clothes, and knocked on the door of her father's house.

"Father, mother, have you slept?" She whispered.

"What's wrong? Yunyun, come in. Fortunately, the two of them haven't slept yet.

Qin Ying looked at her daughter who had entered their house, sat up and asked, "Why don't you sleep yet?" ”

Su Qingyun sat on the edge of the bed, took her mother's hand and said: "I just went to the toilet, I heard the second uncle and the second aunt talking, the second brother hasn't left yet, the second aunt can't sleep anymore, and I don't know how often the second brother can come back, the second aunt doesn't even have a photo when she thinks about the second brother, and the second brother is too, he is alone in the army, and he doesn't even have a thought." ”

"Photos?" Su Aimin caught this word, and he frowned, "You want to?" ”

"I was thinking if we could take a family photo with our family before the second brother left, so that the second brother could take it away?"

"Family portrait?" Qin Ying was also stunned.

"But how did it get in time? Your second brother left the day after tomorrow, and the eldest brother is still in the county and has not returned, and the closest one we have here is also in the town to have a photo studio. ”

"It's in time, Daddy." Su Qingyun had already thought about it, "Second brother will leave the day after tomorrow, we will go to the brigade early tomorrow morning to call the eldest brother, and ask him to take a leave to come back for a day, it doesn't matter, we will go round in the town tomorrow afternoon, and then ask the master to expedite the development of the photos after taking pictures, and the second brother will definitely be able to get the photos the day after tomorrow." ”

She had already arranged it clearly, and it seemed that it was indeed feasible for Su Aimin to think about it.

"Let's take a picture and give the child a thought." Qin Ying said suddenly, with a faint loneliness and sadness in her eyes.

Su Aimin sighed and hugged his wife's shoulder, knowing that she was thinking of her father and mother who were far away in Beijing again.

Qin Ying was a little distracted, she was in a hurry back then, she didn't take a single photo with her, after so many years, her father's face was about to blur, and she didn't know how they were doing now?

"Okay, photo! I'll do it. Su Aimin agreed, "But I have to tell your grandmother about this." ”

"Okay." Seeing her father agree, Su Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.

"Alright, let's go back to sleep." Qin Ying pinched her daughter's white and tender smile, "Worry about this and worry about that for a day, your milk is not as wide as you." ”

Su Qingyun stuck out his tongue, grimaced, and trotted back to his room to sleep.

Early the next morning, Su Aimin got up early, Wu Guixiang and Su Dalin were old, felt less, and got up early, it was strange to see Su Aimin get up so early.

Wu Guixiang looked at him, "Third child, what are you doing so early?" "It's a rarity.

"Mother, let me tell you something." Su Aimin pulled his father and mother to sit down, "Isn't Congming Tian leaving?" Last night, Yunyun told me that if our family went to the town to take a family photo together, and also left a thought for Congwen, after all, he didn't know when he would come back once. ”

"Family portrait?" When Wu Guixiang heard this novel word, her mind turned and she understood, "You mean that our family went to the town to take pictures together?" ”

"yes, that's what it means." Su Aimin nodded.

A smile appeared on Su Dalin's wrinkled face, "This dare is good, Yunyun is so thoughtful, why didn't we think of it?" ”

"Cheng, let's go as a family and shoot this...... This family photo. ”

"What about joining the army? He's still in the county, isn't the family photo going to be taken with the whole family? Wu Guixiang suddenly remembered Su Congjun.

"Mother, don't worry, I'll go to the brigade to call the steel mill now, and ask the army to take a leave of absence and come back, so as not to delay things." After Su Aimin finished speaking, he hurriedly went out.

"This third child, everything is in a hurry." Wu Guixiang muttered, and when she saw Zhang Xinlan in the second room, she hurriedly went over to tell her about it.

In the steel plant, Su Congjun, who received a call from the brigade, heard the news that Congwen was leaving, and promised that he would come back.

Su Aimin, who had finished the call, returned home, and the whole family was waiting for news from him.

Su Aimin said with a smile: "Congjun said that he will come back immediately, and we will leave after breakfast and gather at the photo studio in the town." ”

"Okay, let's eat." Wu Guixiang greeted everyone, and saw that Zhang Xinlan didn't move, "Second daughter-in-law, what are you doing in a daze?" Hurry up and serve breakfast. ”

"Oh, okay." Zhang Xinlan came back to her senses and walked to the kitchen.

She didn't sleep well all night, thinking about Congwen, but she didn't expect to wake up and learn the news that the whole family was going to take pictures together, Zhang Xinlan was stunned, and she didn't expect that this matter was brought up by the little girl in Qingyun, and the third child was also helping.

The third child's family doesn't seem to be so annoying, Zhang Xinlan smiled silently.

Wu Guixiang finished the meal as usual, Zhang Xinlan looked at the dishes on the table, first gave a chopstick to Congwen and Congwu, then paused, and then took another chopstick to ...... Su Qingyun's bowl.

In an instant, the whole family looked over, Su Qingyun looked at the dishes in the bowl and was a little stunned, what happened to her second aunt?

"See what I'm doing? Eat it! Zhang Xinlan's face was a little hot, and she deliberately said loudly, and then lowered her head to pick up the rice.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh a little, so they had to eat with their heads down, so as not to expose the smile on their faces.
