Chapter 186 Heroes Should Not Be Lonely

Lu Xiangyang paused for a moment, then proceeded to recount all the thoughts he had been pondering over the past few days:

"Firstly, I think you earn a lot and I want to learn from you."

"As I said before, although I also have a salary and income, the house we bought was basically paid for with your money. We can't keep doing this forever, can we?"

Furthermore.

He sighed: "I want to write down what happened when I was in the army, as a way to keep a memento."

In particular, some of our comrades-in-arms sacrificed their lives.

Sacrifices are rare in peacetime, but they do occur.

Especially in border areas, near the national border.

There have been no large-scale wars, but small-scale conflicts have never ceased.

Several of his comrades died in these small-scale conflicts.

Most of them were not married yet; only two were married, but one had just gotten married and the other had only been married for two years and didn't have children yet.

Unmarried people don't even have anyone to think about.

They have only been gone for a short time, and their families will remember them.

But as time goes by, and their parents grow old or even pass away, who will remember that there was once a group of people who came and went in a hurry?

He wanted to document his military career. Earning money was one aspect, but another was to use this method to let people remember that there was such a group of people who came here and made contributions.

Instead of summarizing their lives with a casual "they died."

Heroes shouldn't be so lonely.

Jiang Jianni sighed after hearing this: "Okay, I'll teach you when we get back."

"However, I haven't written about military life either, so I can only teach you some general writing techniques. It depends on whether you have the talent for it."

In all honesty, she was absolutely not making excuses.

Even when military marriage novels were at their peak, she, who always loved to follow trends, never jumped on the bandwagon with this genre.

It's not that I don't want to write.

Seeing those wildly popular military marriage novels, she was naturally envious.

But she knew nothing about the military, not even the most basic troop setup. After looking up information several times, her mind was even more confused.

I barely managed to write a beginning; it's enough to drive me crazy.

We had no choice but to abandon this wildly popular topic.

But military life has always been a popular topic.

Leaving aside those that are too exaggerated, which of the following—Bright Sword, Snow Leopard, Band of Brothers, Soldiers Sortie, and My Chief and My Regiment—wasn't it a huge hit as soon as it aired? And it has remained popular for a long time.

There are quite a few well-made and popular films and TV series that are even remotely related to military life.

This is what Jiang Jiani remembered; she didn't remember much more from earlier years.

It's clear that love is never the main theme; as long as the story is well-written and filmed, people will still enjoy watching it even without love.

Thinking of this, she patted Lu Xiangyang's shoulder hard: "Since you want to write, then I'll teach you."

"You can't be like that kid Jiang Haiyang, who stopped learning after a week."

“You are different from him.”

“What you’re writing isn’t just a story about making money; it’s your own personal experience, your youth. You can’t give up halfway through.”

Lu Xiangyang chuckled: "I'm not the kind of person who gives up halfway."

If he hadn't lost several comrades and developed mental health issues, he would probably still be in the military instead of the fire brigade.

Unfortunately, psychology is still a disorganized mess.

China was just beginning to develop a market economy, and there were many things that already existed abroad, but China didn't even have the corresponding concepts.

The military doesn't have psychologists responsible for psychological counseling; at most, the instructor will talk to you.

However, if the problem is too serious, even a talk with the instructor won't help, and the only option is to leave the military.

Lu Xiangyang falls into this category.

During his professional career, he had made many meritorious contributions, and people originally wanted to arrange for him to join the police force. However, he felt that he had not studied how to solve cases, and that being a policeman would just be idle. He also did not want to work in logistics, so he took the initiative to request a transfer to the fire brigade.

He never told anyone about this past, not even his father, who thought he switched to firefighting because he didn't want to stay in the army anymore.

Veterans can't just transfer to any field they want. Lu's father always thought Lu Xiangyang had been transferred directly to the fire service.

Lu Xiangyang had never told anyone about these things before, and he didn't plan to tell anyone in the future.

But he wanted to use his pen to record many people and events.

He had already heard Jiang Jiani say that even if the manuscript was rejected by other publishers, he could still pay for someone to print a few copies.

In that case, the family will have to rely solely on the wife's earnings to support them.

well.

He used to think his income was decent, but after having a wife and children, his salary wasn't enough to support his family.

Never mind.

If I have to rely on my wife, then so be it.

Others would love to rely on you but can't.

After discussing the book, Jiang Jianni remembered Lu Xiangyang's earlier agreement: "You really agree to our family adopting that little girl?"

"Those are three children, three of them."

They are from the post-90s generation.

The post-90s generation is about to face a life-or-death struggle, starting from the very beginning of their school years.

Lu Xiangyang didn't see any problem at all: "Raising two is the same as raising three. It can't be harder than when we were kids, right?"

Jiang Jianni gave him a look that said, "You're too naive."

But she didn't remind Lu Xiangyang either.

Nothing has happened yet, so saying too much is pointless.

Besides, even though those born in the 1990s have already started to get into it.

However, those born in the 1990s are still not as enthusiastic as those born in the 2000s and 2010s.

At least when those born in the 1990s were in school, supervising children's studies, grading homework, and maintaining school hygiene were all the responsibilities of the school.

As a parent, all she needs to do is provide her child with the best possible conditions within her means.

What is the origin of that saying?

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; each person lives their own life.

Whether you're a human or a ghost is up to you.

Lu Xiangyang had already imagined the scene of his three children: "Girls are different from boys; girls are quiet and well-behaved."

"With a younger sister around, even if Da Bao and Er Bao are too naughty, they won't be too mischievous because of her."

Jiang Jiani; "..."

"Let's go find the train conductor."

The child has already been taken away. If they want to adopt the child, they need to explain the situation to the other party.

Little did they know that the train conductor and his team were having a real problem.

I don't know why, but there have been a lot of missing children today.

After bringing back an abandoned baby girl from the sleeper car, everyone became wary and checked other cars, where they found two more.

One is about one year old, and the other is three or four years old.

The two children, a boy and a girl, both looked perfectly healthy.

It's unclear whether they were abandoned or just mischievous children who got lost. No matter how much they called out, no one came to claim the two children.

When the train conductor heard that they wanted to adopt the youngest child, he was both happy and suspicious: "Really? Do you really want to adopt that child or do you have other motives?"

"If this isn't made clear, we can't let you raise the child."

Although they are eager to find a home for their child, they won't just do anything; they will definitely look for a reliable family.
