Fu Lanhua turned around and walked away. Lu Chunji was angry now. She pointed at Fu Liguo and Ying Zhiming and cursed: "You two old guys are full of food! Say this in front of the children? Don't you?"

Are you so embarrassed? Is this something you two gentlemen should have to worry about? You are still shouting and screaming! You two have no formal status!"

Fu Liguo was annoyed by his wife's scolding. He argued: "Can you please stop scolding me with a whip? Anyway, I didn't make any noise about it, so I only blame him."

"Why do you blame me? I think a girl's family shouldn't ask her to become a soldier, but..."

"Listen, what are he talking about? He is still an old soldier and an old party member. He actually has such thoughts. He is really an old backward element. Hmph!"

"Yes, brother, what you said is wrong. What happened to the girls? In the past when you were soldiers and fighting, how many girls joined the anti-Japanese team? Why don't you still roll among the dead bodies and crawl in the blood puddles with the male soldiers?

"Remember when you were injured, wasn't it the female nurse who took care of you?" Old Mrs. Lu asked so bluntly that Ying Zhiming stared and couldn't open his mouth.

"Sister-in-law, that's not what I meant. I meant that Lanhua has always done very well in studies. Why doesn't she apply for college and insist on becoming a soldier?"

"You're right to ask." Lu Chunji glanced at Lanhua's house subconsciously, and she continued: "Okay, I'll tell you why she had to become a soldier..."

The old man Lu Chunji was talking eloquently, and what happened started with his son Fu Min's visit to the house...

That year, Fu Lanhua had just entered the first grade of junior high school. Her eldest son, Fu Min, had already been in the army for five years. He was originally serving as a soldier in a military region in the Central Plains. It had been nearly two years since his first vacation to visit home. On this day, suddenly

The village received a "political review" letter from the People's Liberation Army.

It was a comrade from the County People's Armed Forces Department who came to find Fu Liguo through the village committee. At first, the old couple didn't know what was going on and were really surprised. They thought their son Fu Min had made some mistake in the army? After people

The comrades from the military department felt relieved after they explained.

It turns out that this is a necessary procedure for the army to be promoted. Good guy, my son Fu Min is going to be promoted. This is explosive news in the countryside. This makes the whole family very happy. Fu Liguo and Lu Chunji are even more excited.

She was so happy that she couldn't help but smile. The news naturally spread very quickly, and within a few days, all the neighbors, relatives and friends came to congratulate her, including Mr. and Mrs. Ying Zhiming.

"This guy writes a letter to my family every month." Fu Liguo pulled out a letter from under the kang mat, patted the dust on it and said to everyone, "I just received this from him a few days ago.

The kid didn't say a word about what he did."

Ying Zhiming said with a smile: "Fu Min has been smart since he was a child, he is steady and promising. In my opinion, maybe this kid wants to give you a surprise, right? Well, this time my son has been promoted to the army.

, look at how beautiful this old guy is, you have to treat him, hahaha..."

Ying Zhiming's joke made everyone burst into laughter and nodded in approval.

That night, the family slept very late. People came and went and talked incessantly. It wasn't until about eleven o'clock in the night that they finally calmed down. Fu Lanhua was no longer sleepy, and her mother urged her to say:

: "It's so late and you should go to bed. You have to get up early to go to school tomorrow. Go, go."

She said: "It's okay, I can get up. I just want to hear about my brother. I don't know how proud my brother is now."

Later, she hid in her room and cried. Her mother asked her why. She said, "I miss my brother."

...many days later, the family finally received Fu Min’s first letter after his death. The letter was written to his parents, and it contained this paragraph:

...I have received my sister's letter. I didn't want to tell my elders and family members about my proposal to do this prematurely. Maybe you already know about it. I don't think it is anything to show off or show off.

My small progress is inseparable from the education and training of the army and leaders. Please rest assured that in the future, I will continue to work hard, do my job well, and continue to train and grow in the melting pot of the army.

In addition, I told my elders that I may have to be transferred to a new position. The specific position and job are unknown, so I will not write letters to my family in the near future, and my family will not write to me based on this position anymore. After I am settled in, I will

Will tell you in time.

Fu Jun and Lanhua must listen to their parents and must complete their studies well. My brother is not at home, so you must not let the two elders worry about it. Be more filial for your brother. Come home from school and help your parents with more work. Thank you, brother.

.

After reading her eldest brother's letter, Fu Lanhua burst into tears. Her brother's words were deeply imprinted in her mind. Every holiday or after returning home from school, she worked harder than before. In addition to studying, she always helped her parents with whatever they could.

The parents also love this sensible girl even more.

After my brother transferred his job, he only wrote a short letter to his family, telling his family his new address and saying that he had a very important task in the near future. He did not want his family to write to him, so as not to let his parents miss him, etc.

After completing the task, he would write a letter to his parents to explain everything. However, after several months passed, his parents couldn't help but urge Lanhua to write a letter to his brother, but the letter seemed to have fallen into the sea, and there was no reply.

No, just after the Spring Festival, I heard that there was a big incident on the border with China in the south, and that the counterattack was very brutal. Fu Liguo and his wife asked Lanhua to check Fu Min's address in detail, and the result was almost gone.

The whole family was frightened to death. Because my brother’s current army location is very close to this hotspot, let’s look at my brother’s future.

The previous letter mentioned that their unit had "important tasks" in the near future, and there had been no letter from my brother for more than three months, so my parents and everyone in the family were worried. My father held a radio all day long.

Letting go means that I want to hear about the battle situation on the front line or news about my brother from the daily news reports.

A few days later, exciting news came out on the radio: ...the self-defense counterattack has achieved a major victory, and my participating troops have been ordered to withdraw. However, the whole family still cannot eat well and sleep restlessly, and is always worried about paying the price.

the safety of the people,

It can be said that they are in constant panic because they heard that there are soldiers who died on the front line in this small Liyang County. The most frightening thing is that their son Fu Min once wrote in a letter and mentioned that a man named Song Qingshan also died.

, this matter spread throughout the county.

Over the past few days, although Fu Liguo remained silent on the surface, he had been worried about his eldest son Fu Min. It had been several days since the battle ended, but there was still no news about Fu Min. Twice, he finally looked forward to it.

The arrival letter was sent back from school by my second son, Fu Jun.

On this day, Lan Hua had just left for school. Fu Liguo was folding bedding on the kang and cleaning the house. His wife Lu Chunji was washing the dishes and nagging: "After cleaning the house in a while, you can go to the village and county to ask around. Maybe you can find something."

There may be some news. If you don’t go to the Armed Forces and ask, they will definitely know more than us in the countryside."

"Yes, that's true. I'll call Lao Ying later, and we'll go to the county together to find out what happened." Fu Liguo muttered, almost to himself.

"Dingling bell ..." A crisp car ringtone suddenly passed the gate at the gate, and then a thick male voice shouted in the room: "Is anyone at home? Registration letter!"

"Old man, registered mail, go and take a look." Lu Chunji urged, shaking off the water on his hand.

When Fu Liguo heard this shout, his heart trembled. He knew that this time it must be a letter from his eldest son Fu Min, but he didn't know whether he was happy or sad. He put on his cotton coat, pulled up his shoes and rushed out.

, asked urgently: "Comrade, where did this letter come from?"

The postman glanced at the envelope and said seriously: "Oh, Kunming City, it's from the army. Maybe it's from your son?"

"Well, that's right, this time it's from my eldest son." He took the letter and signed it. Just as the postman was about to turn around and leave, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Comrade, I can't see the words because I'm dazzled.

Could you please give me a nian?"

The postman turned around and agreed, "Okay, you open the envelope and I'll read it for you."

As he opened the envelope, he said to his wife: "Hurry up and listen to it. This is really a letter from Fu Min."

The postman read the contents of the letter carefully. He read the letter, and then a happy smile appeared on his face. At the beginning of Fu Min's letter, he reported to the two old people that he was safe, and explained that he had not written to his family for several months.

He also told the general story of how their troops participated in the battle. His company won the second-class collective merit. Finally, he told the two elders that he planned to come back to visit his family soon. This is great news! How many days?

Come, those who look forward to the stars and the moon have finally come to an end.

When Fu Liguo wiped away his tears when he saw his wife, he muttered: "Hey, hey, hey... Look, you old woman, your son is coming back safely, why are you crying again? Humph, you are so careless, no

It seems like a joke."

"I'm so happy." Lu Chunji wiped his eyes with his sleeve and curled his lips and said: "Don't tell me, who is coughing and sighing with a drooped face all day long? I don't understand what you are thinking.

? And you still make fun of others."

"Okay, okay, every time I say one thing, you must have ten waiting for me. Let's go and enter the house. You should be happy today. I'll call you Lao Ying later, so we can have a good celebration at noon.

Congratulations." Fu Liguo patted the letter and cursed at the letter: "Damn, this kid didn't say whether he had made any meritorious service, huh, I just thought it was impossible for you to embarrass me."

Lu Chunji curled his lips and said with a smile: "My son is not as flamboyant as his father. Even if he has made meritorious deeds, he will not tell you about it. He knows that his father loves to brag."

"Don't worry about it. Hey, I'm going to drink two glasses of wine this afternoon." After Fu Liguo finished speaking, he walked toward the gate with his hands behind his back.

When Lu Chunji saw it, he hurriedly asked: "Hey, hey, hey? If you don't go into the house, what are you going to do?"
