Chapter 13: My Brother's Choice
After the turmoil of riding a horse to school, Zeng Xiangyang matured, it was not easy for his parents to run the family, and Mr. Li's attitude of insisting on working while sick was deeply imprinted in his soul, trying not to cause trouble, so that his parents, including the teacher, could save snacks, and Zeng Xiangyang warned himself!
Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, a semester is over, the winter vacation is coming, and the New Year is going to be celebrated again!
Mom is pregnant, and there is one more room in the house, whether it is a younger brother or a younger sister, he is going to be an elder brother anyway, thinking that he will no longer be favored, Zeng Xiangyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Last night, the parents hid in the kitchen to discuss things, and happened to be heard by Zeng Xiangyang, who was on the tip of the toilet, and the mother said: The family is not rich, and she wants to have multiple children, the pressure is too great, and she wants to kill the fetus! The father strongly objected, saying: Anyway, we are used to living a hard life, no matter how hard we are, we are not afraid, since God has given us a life, we should gladly accept it, many families want to have a child, we are about to have a fourth child, this should be a happy thing!
Zeng Xiangyang told his brother everything he heard, who told him to sleep in the same room with his brother, or bunk beds! After listening to his words, my brother fell into contemplation, he will be 17 years old during the New Year, and now he is only a year of high school, and it is unknown where he will go in three years, and now he is just recruiting, being a soldier has actually been Zeng Xiangjun's wish, I remember when I was a child, Zeng Xiangjun was 6 years old, and my friends played the game of catching thieves together, and Zeng Xiangjun said to other friends: "I want to be Marshal Yue Feiyue, and learn from him to serve the country loyally." He also took off his clothes, bare his back, and asked his friends to write the words "Loyal to the Country" with a brush on his back, which affected Zeng Xiangjun's life.
"You're going to be a soldier?" After Zeng Xiangyang heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head
"Brother, it's very hard to be a soldier, train every day, march urgently, practice at night, shoot at target, why do you have to suffer this hardship?" Zeng Xiangyang asked puzzled
"I joined the army to train myself, my body is the capital of the revolution, I can strengthen my body in the barracks, I can also learn military skills, and the key is to eat and be full!" Zeng Xiangjun told his younger brother and Pan.
Zeng Xiangyang heard the sentence "Eat and be full!" My heart couldn't help but be sour, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.
The next day, hearing this shocking decision, the glass of water in Zhang Yulan's hand fell to the ground and shattered, knowing her son Mo Ruomu, the eldest son's decision must have been carefully considered, his deep meaning, she also knew it, thinking of this, her body shook.
Zeng Zhiwen hurriedly supported his wife's body, let her sit lightly on the wooden chair, lowered his head and advised: "Yulan, don't be excited, beware of the fetal gas!"
Zhang Yulan stroked her already bulging lower abdomen and looked at her eldest son with complicated eyes.
Zeng Zhiwen also looked at Zeng Xiangjun and said word by word: "Xiangjun, I know that you have liked to be a soldier since you were a child, he will be seventeen years old soon, and he is an adult, since you think about it, Dad supports you!"
"Brother, I also support you!" The second child, who had been standing silently in the corner, said suddenly.
"One person is a soldier, the whole family is glorious!" Zeng Xiangyang remembered the slogan painted on the wall on the street and shouted out!
His words immediately broke the solemn atmosphere in the room just now, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
