After the laughter, Minister Xiao further asked Luo Jianxin: "How did you meet Fu Min?"

Luo Jianxin shook his head and replied: "I'm sorry to say it, but we don't know each other without fighting."

"What? You two even fought?"

"That's not true, but it was just a little bit close." Luo Jianxin recalled: "I came to Hongwei Village to do a survey that day. When I saw the weather was bad, I hurried back by bike. I left the village entrance and walked carefully to the bridge.

In the middle, I saw that the bridge was swaying as if it was about to collapse at any time. It was only supported by a few broken pieces of wood, and there were several large holes exposed in the pits.

I could see the river bottom under the bridge. At this time, I saw the dark clouds in the northwest sky taking advantage of the wind to roll forward. It was coming very fast and soon it was overwhelming. It looked like it was not raining this time.

I was so wet that I wanted to go back to the village to take shelter from the wind and rain before leaving. But while I was hesitating, the wind got stronger and stronger. At this time, a young man rushed over from the opposite side on a bicycle."

"It must be my family's Fu Min, right?" Lu Chunji interjected and asked.

"Yes, that's him." Luo Jianxin continued: "Maybe he was also afraid of being caught in the rain. He rode very fast and was in front of me in an instant. When I pushed the bicycle to the bridge, he didn't stop or

If I don’t dodge quickly, I

They had to hit each other. But he couldn't stop the car anyway. He shouted anxiously: 'My brakes are broken, get out of the way!' Where could I hide on the broken bridge? I saw him heading straight towards me.

I bumped into it, and I said in my heart: Something big has happened.

If we collide now, it goes without saying that we will all fall off the bridge, and we will either die or be injured. At this critical moment, it can be said that I am wise and anxious.

I move the bike forward

I made a sideways move, and then pushed hard to block it. Just as he was approaching, his front wheel hit my car. I tried my best to block it from behind, but I was not knocked down. His car was also bounced back, including everyone in the car.

The car backed up on the bridge."

Fu Liguo cursed: "Damn, this kid is just a fool, he deserves to be thrown."

Minister Xiao asked: "Did you fall now?"

Luo Jianxin said with a smile: "It's okay if he didn't fall. After he fell to the ground, I thought I had broken him. I hurried over to help him, but unexpectedly he jumped up. He stared at me and yelled: '

I asked you to hide, why didn't you hide?! What are you doing standing here?!' I asked him back: 'You

Look at this bridge for yourself, where should I hide? Besides, if I don't block your car, you will get under the bridge at this speed, and you will be thrown half to death. Why should you rely on me?

'Hey, guess what, after I said this, most of his anger disappeared."

"He never mentioned it when he got home." Fu Liguo also smiled and asked, "What happened next?"

Luo Jianxin said: "He said that his car was damaged and he wanted me to pay for it. When I saw that the handlebars were crooked and the chain fell off, I sorted out the car for him and let him try riding it.

When we were arguing, strong winds and heavy rain fell from the sky. At this time, we couldn't care about anything else. We had to find a place to take shelter from the rain. Looking at the surrounding environment, there was no

A place to hide. He ran to the bottom of the bridge and shouted to me: "Come down quickly, you can take shelter from the rain." I had no choice but to get in. This place is not bad, it can block the wind and rain.

, he pulled out a piece of plastic sheet from his schoolbag and put it on our heads. This time we were finally able to escape the heavy rain." "Where did he get the plastic sheet?"

"I don't know, but it worked for me at the time." Luo Jianxin continued: "I asked him which village he was from? He pointed to the other side of the river and said it was from the Red Guard Brigade, called Fu Min. He asked me what I did, and I told the truth.

Answered him, when he heard that I came to recruit soldiers

, his eyes were as wide as light bulbs. He asked me: 'Can I become a soldier?' I said: 'As long as I meet all the criteria including health, age, political examination, etc., I'm sure I can be a soldier.' I asked.

How old is he this year? He said he is just over 18."

"Hahaha..." The laughter of Fu Liguo and everyone made Minister Xiao realize the mystery, and he asked: "Is this kid lying?"

"Yes, how did I know at that time? I thought this young man was quite smart, strong and very handsome. I chatted with him for a while, and I heard that he spoke well and behaved very well. He was very keen on joining the army.

He was very ambitious. At that time, I felt that he was very suitable to be a soldier. If he joined the army, he would definitely be a good piece of steel. And gradually, I really fell in love with him."

Fu Liguo said: "He can confuse you."

Lu Chunji said unhappily: "What? It's called getting along with each other. My family is just for people to like."

Luo Jianxin said with a smile: "However, he told me that it would be useless no matter what I did, because he was afraid that my father would not let him go."

"This kid, I knew he had to say this." Fu Liguo said boldly.

"I asked: 'Why doesn't your father let you go?' He said: 'My father is an old soldier. He has been injured in battles and cannot work in the fields. I am the boss of the family. If I leave, who will

How about helping around the house?'"

Lu Chunji curled his lips and said, "This kid is talking nonsense. Since when has he been the one to worry about family affairs?"

"But I didn't know this at the time. I told and comforted him not to worry about this matter. I also said that the old man was an old comrade and that he would have this kind of ideological awareness. I promised him that if he could do everything,

After passing the customs, I promised to let him serve as a soldier, and I would personally come to the door to do the old man's work. From then on, he came to me every day

We ran there, and over time we got to know each other very well. I am a few years older than him, and young people always have something in common when we are together. Besides, our tempers are also very compatible, so he knows the earliest time when the army will be drafted. " Luo

Jianxin changed the subject and asked: "Uncle, aunt, I came once during a home visit, do you still remember?"

Fu Liguo and Lu Chunji thought for a while and nodded and said, "Well, I seem to have some impression."

When Minister Xiao heard this, he pointed at Luo Jianxin with a smile and asked: "Will your boy let him go through the back door?"

Luo Jianxin quickly denied it and said: "No, no, how could such a thing happen? However, he did have a request for me... Oh, or a request. He and I have to keep his military service secret, and we can't tell the village and the people first.

My parents knew it. I agreed wholeheartedly."

"He didn't let the village know? Where did he get his name from?" Minister Xiao asked.

Luo Jianxin said: "He didn't register in the village. I didn't add him to Hongwei Village until he passed the physical examination."

"Hahaha, isn't this called going through the back door? It's nonsense."

"Hehehehe, Minister Xiao, do I want to fulfill my promise? Just to keep it a secret for him, hehe..."

"Well, finally, this guy has given the people of his hometown a chance to win. As for you, you didn't make a mistake and sent a very good soldier to the army. As for me, I won't criticize you for this, but I won't criticize you either.

Reward, hahaha..."

Luo Jianxin laughed and said: "I don't seek retribution, but I seek no fault. I am proud of Fu Min, and I am happy that I recommended him to join the army and perform meritorious service. I am very contented and happy."

"Minister Luo, I heard what you just said, is Fu Min really coming back? Do you two communicate often?" Fu Liguo asked.

Luo Jianxin replied: "That's right. Fu Min often mentioned some of his work and training in the army in his letters. Sometimes he also talked about his own experiences and thoughts for a period of time, and sometimes asked about the development and changes in his hometown.

,Wait, let’s put it this way, we talked about everything when we corresponded.”

Minister Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "He regards you as his close brother. However, you, the elder brother, need to continue to encourage him."

"That's for sure."

"I think it's getting late, we should go back."

"How can that happen? Didn't we agree to have dinner at my house?" When Fu Liguo heard that Minister Xiao and Minister Luo were leaving, he hurriedly blocked the door of the house and said, "If you ask me to treat you, I have to treat you. Who knows?

You are not allowed to leave either. Old lady

, you go and prepare the food. We are going to have two drinks happily this noon. Go and call Ying Zhiming and his wife over. Why haven't they shown up today? What have they been doing? Go and call them.

…”

"No need to call, I'm here." At this time, Ying Zhiming came in and said with a smile: "I went to the county hospital for a check-up for my wife this afternoon, so I didn't catch up with the excitement."

"What's wrong?" Lu Chunji asked with concern: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Juxiang said: "Nothing's wrong, I just feel dizzy all the time. The doctor said it's due to insufficient blood supply to the brain and low blood pressure."

"Then you have to make up for it."

"It's okay, sister-in-law, let's prepare the meal."

"You cook, let's chat first." Fu Liguo turned to Zhiming and introduced him: "Come on, come on, no need to introduce others, these two..."

"Okay, okay, you don't need to introduce me. I recognize this, Minister Xiao, and this is Minister Luo, right?" Ying Zhiming stepped forward and shook hands with the two ministers one by one. It seemed that they were really familiar with each other.

Fu Liguo asked in confusion: "Hey, how do you know each other?"

Ying Zhiming winked at the two ministers and said with a smile: "We, hahaha, won't tell him."

Suddenly, everyone burst into laughter.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Fu Lanhua ran home happily. She jumped into the door and said: "Dad, mother, my brother..."

"This child, what are you yelling about?" The mother pointed to the inner room with her finger. She suddenly realized that there were so many people in the room. She pulled her head back in embarrassment, stuck out her tongue, turned around slightly, walked to Yu Juxiang and asked:

"Auntie, what are so many people doing in the back room?"

Yu Juxiang asked: "They are here to deliver good news. Your brother has made great achievements on the front line, do you know?"

"Of course I know." Fu Lanhua said and asked her mother: "Mom, where is the good news about my brother's meritorious service?"

Lu Chunji asked: "Why are you asking that?"

"Let me take a look and hang it up."

"Where are you hanging?"
