Chapter 847: Dad, I Was Wrong
"Dad, Haohao is still a child. ”
Li Mai watched Haohao struggling to dig a single soldier lying down to shoot the bunker, and said to his father Li Lu with a wry smile.
It was the morning of the next day, and it was Saturday, and Li Mai and Zhang Xiaoyu came to Sunshine Farm to see their parents and children.
Not long after breakfast, Hao Hao ran out with a small shovel, and Duoduo followed in a hurry. Li Maizheng was strange, Li Lu asked him to come with him, and when he arrived at the place, his eyes almost popped out. In the past few days, his father has already taught his grandson to dig bunkers!
Looking at Haohao's movements, he is obviously trained. Li Mai knew his father too well, and he had heard many of his father's old subordinates say that his father's civil work was simply a miracle in the 101 Brigade that year!
In the case of low soil, it took eight minutes to dig out a standard one-man lying position to shoot the bunker, and in eight minutes, three shovels were broken and two small pickaxes were bent!
This record has always been 101, and no one has been able to break it so far!
What is the concept of eight minutes?
The training syllabus stipulates that the time limit is 18 minutes to be rated as excellent.
What's more, the speed of excavation is closely related to the quality of the soil. At that time, the soil was low, that is, very hard soil. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bent two pickaxes!
Ten minutes ahead of the allotted excellent time, it's a myth!
Not to mention others, even Li Mai knows that he will never reach this level.
"What were you doing when you were seven years old?" Li Lu glanced at him and asked.
Li Mai thought for a moment and said, "I'm in elementary school." ”
"What elementary school did you go to?" asked Li Lu again.
"Junior Military Academy ......" Li Mai understood what his father meant when he said it.
Li Lu then said, "When you were seven years old, you were already learning shooting moves, and I just started teaching Haohao to dig a bunker. There is a problem with you educating your children in this way, and children can't just be spoiled. The children who are educated in that way will have problems in the future. ”
Li Mai said with a wry smile, "Dad, before Haohao moved here, he had to run in the morning every morning, run three kilometers outside on Saturday and last two days, and his exercise in the afternoon and evening has not been interrupted." I think it's enough for him. ”
Pointing at Li Mai, Li Lu said, "So, today's children are becoming more and more squeamish, all of which are used to you parents." Didn't you have a charity fund? Have you been to the mountains and seen what the children there do when they are seven years old? Chop wood in the mountains to do laundry and cook. ”
"Daddy......" Li Mai shouted and closed his mouth.
The so-called generation gap may refer to these.
He knew that his father came from the original era, even if his father's living environment was very good at that time, but most of his experience was related to the grassroots, the army grassroots, the rural grassroots, and his father's understanding of a person's hands-on ability is not at all understandable by people today.
No matter how you say it, Li Mai is worried that Haohao's body can't bear it, but seeing Haohao's relaxed appearance, he also knows that his father is measured. What's more, from what Daddy said just now, Li Mai heard another important message.
Hao Hao is afraid that he will be inseparable from the army in the future.
This is also what Li Mai wants most, but his ideas are more democratic and respect the ideas of children. But in Li Lu's view, there is nothing that there are and are not. Li Mai knows very well that in his father's opinion, any child of the old Li family must be a soldier. It's almost something you don't have to think about, it's destined to be born.
Anyway, Li Mai also figured it out, giving birth to a child is a matter for him and Zhang Xiaoyu, and it is also a matter for the couple before the child is sensible. Once the child is an adult, when it is time to choose the path of life, it is not only not their business, nor the child's business, but the elder's business, and the head of the family considers it.
In such a family, you have to accept such rules.
Isn't he Li Mai a living example?
"Come with me over there. Li Lu motioned to Lin Chong to take care of the child, said a word to Li Mai, and walked towards the river in the distance.
Li Mai hurriedly followed, and when he saw Li Lu take out a cigarette to smoke, he said, "Dad, you better smoke less." ”
After hesitating for a moment, Li Lu glanced at him, put away the cigarette, and then said, "I heard that you recently grinded Xiao Zhang and said that you would have a few more children." ”
"Dad, you know about it. Li Mai was taken aback, scratched his head, and said, "Xiaoyu and I both like children, so it's more lively to have a few more." ”
"You don't give me sloppy eyes, can you hide my thoughts?" Li Lu glanced at him.
Li Mai hurriedly said, "Dad, it's true, I really think so." Besides, the men of our old Li family are still a little thinner, and it is beneficial to have a few more. ”
"Haven't you ever thought about standing on your own?" said Li Road, expressionlessly.
Li Madden was taken aback, he was afraid that his father would know about it, and he suddenly didn't know what to say, obviously, he couldn't hide it.
Standing by the river, Li Lu said in a deep voice, "Do you know what your mother would think if she knew that you had such thoughts?"
Li Mai's expression was stern, and he lowered his head and pondered.
"Before your biological father died, I looked into his eyes and told him, I will definitely bring him back, and I will definitely raise you and your aunts and uncles to adulthood. ”
Li Lu said, turned around, and looked at Li Mai, "You have been the captain of the short knife commando for three years, do you really understand the spirit of the short knife?
Li Mai was silent in thought, his face ashamed.
"At the root of the problem, commitment is only one factor. Li Lu said slowly, "I told you before, I don't value blood. You and I can become father and son, it is the fate of the previous life. To be a father and son, we must also talk about fate. In this matter of you, your mother has endured more. At the time, some people even thought that she was infertile. After so many years, she is finally willing to give birth to a younger brother to you while she is still alive. If you propose to start a family independently at this time, what she will think, you must know very well in your heart. ”
Tears were already rolling in Li Mai's eyes, and he deeply felt his selfishness.
Shaking his head slightly, Li Lu said, "I've been licking blood on the knife for half my life, and now I can slow down and enjoy the joy of family." You have found me such a good daughter-in-law again, and you have two such lovely grandchildren. Dad was content. ”
"What do you do, how do you think, Dad won't control you like before. As long as you feel right, you do it. You've made some achievements, and there's still a long way to go. After all, Dad can't look at you for the rest of your life. ”
Li Lu said in a deep voice, "After all, it still depends on how you think about it. That's all I have to say. ”
Poof!
Li Mai knelt down on his knees, knelt in front of Li Lu, choked up and said, "Dad, my thoughts are too selfish, I just want to make myself feel less guilty, and I don't take into account the feelings of you and my mother." I figured it out, and I don't think about the separation anymore. I, Li Mai, was a member of the Li family in my last life, and I am and will definitely be in this life. ”
Sighing slightly, Li Lu said slowly, "It's good to figure it out, get up." ”
