Chapter 12: A three-month farewell! [Seeking investment! Seeking monthly votes! ] "mom!" "Didn't Second Uncle tell me? You don't need to bring anything!" "Okay, okay, Mom got it." Li Ping agreed verbally, but her hands did not stop at all and stuffed a bunch of socks into the bulging suitcase. Seeing Li Ping reaching out to the two packs of Nanjing cigarettes on the table again, Zhao Weihong hurried forward to stop her and asked suspiciously. "Mom, what are you doing?" "Didn't you say you bought these cigarettes for my dad?" "Why do I think you're trying to put it in my bag?" "How can your father smoke this?"
"Well, I don't smoke, why did you buy cigarettes?" "Two Nanjings, how expensive!" Giving her son a blank look, Li Ping snatched the cigarette from Zhao Weihong's hand and pretended to stuff it into her bag. "Didn't I say I bought it for you?" "What about you?" "This is for your squad leader!" Zhao Weihong: “.” Li Ping didn't notice her son's strange expression. She was still trying hard to put the cigarette into the bag, mumbling "instructions" to him. "Once you get to the army, find a deserted place and secretly slip the cigarette to your squad leader!" "He will definitely take good care of you!" Upon hearing this, three black lines suddenly appeared on Zhao Weihong's forehead. "Where did you hear all this?" "Don't worry!" "Just listen to your mother, you won't go wrong." Zhao Weihong snatched the cigarette reluctantly and said in a firm tone. "What? You're forcing me to make a mistake!" Seeing this, Li Ping still wanted to argue, but Zhao Yuejin, who was watching the show happily on the side, finally spoke up and helped Zhao Weihong out of the predicament. "Sister-in-law, don't bring cigarettes or anything." "Your social skills are useless in the army."
If Zhao Jianguo opened his mouth, Li Ping would argue for a few more sentences and would never give up easily. But since Zhao Yuejin, who had absolute authority in this matter, had spoken, Li Ping had no choice but to give up with regret and turned to take the pickles in the can on the table. "Oh my God!" "You're stuffing this thing in there too? How am I supposed to take it over there?" "." A month passes in the blink of an eye. Zhao Weihong has completed all the procedures before joining the army and will go to the county tomorrow. There is a small photo frame in the corner of the dining table. In the photo frame, Zhao Weihong, dressed in military uniform, stood with a big grin on his face, next to Zhao Yuejin, who was sitting upright. Zhao Jianguo and his wife stood on both sides, with a somewhat restrained smile on their faces. From now on, Zhao Weihong belongs to the country. Even in the household registration book, the page belonging to Zhao Weihong has been cancelled. This lonely photo frame became the only trace of Zhao Weihong's existence in this home. After failing for the fourth time in trying to stuff cans into the bag, Li Ping, who had just been "high-spirited", suddenly laid on the bag and burst into tears. "Mom also knows that these things are not easy to carry." "But Mom just wants to bring them all to you." Seeing this, Zhao Yuejin suddenly stood up with great effort and walked out with a "dong dong" sound. Zhao Weihong wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Zhao Yuejin's eyes. Because Zhao Yuejin felt that this moment should be reserved for their family of three. The "dong dong" sound gradually faded away. Zhao Weihong turned around and looked at her two closest relatives. Li Ping was already lying on the bag, crying her heart out. Although Zhao Jianguo did not shed tears, his eyes, which were always fixed on Zhao Weihong, were full of reluctance. Zhao Weihong didn't actually have much feeling about the impending farewell. Because in Zhao Weihong's subconscious mind, he has long been accustomed to a life of being apart from his parents. But after seeing this scene, Zhao Weihong realized. In the eyes of Zhao Jianguo and his wife, this was not a simple farewell. Instead, the son whom he had raised for eighteen years was going far away for the first time to face all kinds of unknown challenges and hardships.
Although the couple had reached a consensus long ago, they "let go" early. But in this world, is there any parent who doesn’t care about their children? At this moment before leaving, Zhao Jianguo and his wife could no longer suppress the emotions that they had hidden for three months, and they burst out in an unstoppable way like a volcanic eruption! "Dad, Mom." Zhao Weihong walked to her mother's side, helped Li Ping up, and spoke in a hoarse voice. "Do not worry." "I can take care of myself." "My son!" "Okay, mother." "It's a great joy for your child to join the army, don't cry." "Don't let Wei Hong go to the army, otherwise he will have to worry about you." These words seemed to have some magical power, which made Li Ping stop crying in an instant. "Wei Hong." Zhao Jianguo walked forward slowly, raised his head slightly, and looked directly into Zhao Weihong's eyes. "father." Father and son, no, two men looked at each other for a long time before Zhao Jianguo spoke softly. "When you get to the army, do your best." "Don't bring shame to our Zhao family." "If you can't stay, come back when the time comes." "Dad and your mother don't ask you to be rich and powerful." "I just hope you can live your life in peace." "." Zhao Weihong blew her nose, trying her best to hold back the tears that were welling up in her eye sockets, and responded in a sullen voice. "Ah." noon the next day. Zhao Weihong appeared at the door of the armed forces department on time. All around him were new recruits about to join the army and their parents who came to see them off. Green trains are a rare thing these days. In a small county town like the one where Zhao Weihong lives, there is no such thing as a train station.
Zhao Weihong just came to the armed forces department to gather today. He had to wait until the leader of the army arrived before leading the new recruits from the same unit to Chang'an to take the train to the Green Camp. That is why, if there are no accidents. After his own child stepped into the door of the armed forces. All the parents present here will have to wait at least two years before they can see their children again. To be honest, the atmosphere around us was not festive at all. There were cries of grief and sorrow everywhere. On the contrary, Zhao Jianguo and his wife appeared to be exceptionally strong at this moment. The words that should be said and the tears that should be shed have already been said and shed yesterday. At this moment, the couple just want to watch their son run towards the unknown future with full blessings. "There is still work to do in the fields, so we won't stay any longer." "Let's go." Hearing this, Zhao Weihong's body shook. She wanted to say something, but felt that it was inappropriate to say anything at this time. "Then I go in?" "Ah." Under the gaze of Zhao Jianguo and his wife, Zhao Weihong slowly turned around, carrying her bulging luggage, and walked towards the majestic gate of the armed forces department. "I'll give it to you." A "dong dong" sound was heard, and Zhao Yuejin suddenly appeared beside Zhao Weihong. Zhao Weihong originally wanted to refuse, but when she opened her mouth, nothing came out. It seemed that in his subconscious, he also wanted to take these last few steps accompanied by his loved ones. In fact, according to the principle, the relatives of new recruits can only be sent to the entrance of the armed forces department and are not allowed to enter. But when Officer Wang, who was maintaining order at the door, saw that the visitor was Zhao Yuejin, he showed selective blindness and let Zhao Yuejin in without saying a word. When passing by the sentry box, the tall and straight sentry saluted Zhao Yuejin directly. The sentry did not know Zhao Yuejin. But I recognized the Type 85 military uniform he was wearing! It is moral and reasonable for sentries to perform this salute. The moment she walked through the door, Zhao Weihong couldn't help but look back. The parents were still standing in the same place as before, standing on tiptoe and looking towards Zhao Weihong. "Look more if you want."
"it's nothing." "I was not as good as you back then. I joined the army on my own, but I cried more loudly than your mother." Zhao Weihong didn't say anything. She took one last deep look, then retracted her gaze and continued walking inside. Originally, Zhao Weihong thought that Zhao Yuejin wanted to send her off because he had something to tell her in private. But Zhao Yuejin said nothing until the Minister of Armed Forces, who arrived after hearing the news, spoke. "Comrade Zhao Yuejin." "Your nephew's dormitory is over here." Hearing this, Zhao Yuejin nodded, turned around and said to Zhao Weihong. "go in." "I'm going back." After saying that, Zhao Yuejin turned around, as if his "send-off" was really just for the sake of "send-off." In other words, Zhao Yuejin's farewell had actually begun a long time ago. Time: three months. Everything that needs to be said has been said. At this last moment, there is naturally nothing to say. I watched Zhao Yuejin's figure gradually walk away, until he finally merged into the crowd at the door and disappeared. Zhao Weihong then turned around, took a deep breath, and pushed open the slightly old door in front of him. The second update is here for today! Please support me with monthly tickets! Please invest!
