She thought that they were two people from different worlds. He had a family that loved him, had lived a more affluent life than most people since childhood, and... had such amazing skills.
But in the words of the old man, Mr. Lu, Lu Heng is also a crying little brat.
Since he is the only son in the family, he has been under everyone's expectations since he was young. His grandfather and father are very strict with him. From the age of two, his father used him as a "tool" for weight training. He sat on his father's shoulders and back and watched his father's vest get wet with sweat no matter it was scorching summer or cold winter. Even so, he never complained of being tired.
Therefore, he started to read and write at the age of three, and joined his father's training camp at the age of four. He grew from a naive baby into a determined young man. At this time, he had completed the courses from elementary school to university that ordinary people need.
"At that time, Ah Heng had two choices: one was to be admitted to Peking University, and the other was to study abroad. Everyone said that with his intelligence, he would be a good scientist in the future, but Ah Heng chose neither."
Speaking of this, the old man was full of emotion.
"That night, Ah Heng came to my study. He stood there with a determined look on his face and told me, Grandpa, I want to join the army. I felt very complicated at the time, but also had a vague sense of relief."
Qiao Qingqing's heart was moved, "Grandpa had already guessed that he wanted to join the army?"
The old man smiled and said, "Yes! This is not hard to guess. He started to receive military training when others only knew how to play, but he not only did not complain or resist, but he enjoyed it and quickly adapted to this kind of life. He even added training tasks and raised his own requirements. He was still a little kid, but he already had a spirit that most soldiers did not have."
"When he was seven years old, Heng was sent to school. He came back after only one day and told us that he didn't want to go to school and that he didn't fit in there. At that time, the school Heng attended was mostly children of military personnel. When I told Heng about this, he immediately changed his mind. However, before the end of the semester, the teacher came to visit our home and told us that Heng was very smart and didn't seem like a first-grade student, but more like a third-grade child. So, after discussing it, we gave Heng a test, and from then on, Heng started skipping grades."
"I finished my high school courses before I knew it. Ah Heng just turned 15, and his story has spread. Peking University has extended an olive branch to Ah Heng. Ah Heng does not need to take the college entrance examination and can go directly to Peking University to study. At the same time, I also listened to the advice of teachers and leaders, thinking about whether to send Ah Heng abroad for further studies. Otherwise, given the domestic situation, I am afraid that it will delay Ah Heng in the future."
"However, Ah Heng was not interested in these things. During that period, Ah Heng had a rare leisure time and did not have to go to school. In addition to training every day, Ah Heng would ask me about things in the army and ask me to repeat the stories of the wars I participated in. It was around that time that I realized that Ah Heng did not want to be a scientist."
"As expected, Ah Heng made the choice to join the army. He told me, Grandpa, I think our country's current situation requires more powerful guns. We are not completely out of danger yet. Scientists should let people who can sit still, are more patient, and are more careful take on the task. I want to be like Grandpa and my father, shed my blood for the country, protect those people, and protect our motherland and compatriots."
Hearing these words, Qiao Qingqing's heart was beating uncontrollably - Huang Cong Shao Ji was dancing with double halberds, and everyone around him was frightened at the sight!
This is the image of young master Lu Heng in her mind.
He has his country in mind and is brave and fearless. If it weren't for this... Lu Heng should have been shining on the battlefield, but he should have spent ten years in such a miserable state. Even if he was rehabilitated later, he would have been devastated...
As she thought about it, Qiao Qingqing couldn't help but shed tears for her former lover Lu Heng.
Fortunately, the kerosene lamp was dim and no one noticed anything unusual about her.
Shi Meiyun took over the conversation at this time.
"Qingqing, guess what? In the end, Ah Heng went to the military academy! He also performed very well in the academy. He joined the army as a platoon leader right after graduation. In just a few years, he made many great achievements, and was able to become a battalion commander at the age of 22. He was just over 23 years old. Seeing that the daughter of the Qiao family would soon be 18, the old man urged him to go to the Qiao family to settle the marriage. Who knew that when he went there, Ah Heng didn't fall in love with Qiao Lanlan who sent him the photo, but fell in love with our Qingqing. This is really God's blessing."
Shi Meiyun seemed to be crying but not crying, because she remembered the misfortunes that had befallen the Lu family; she seemed to be smiling but not smiling, because she was grateful to God for letting Qingqing become the daughter-in-law of the Lu family.
The old man said in a stammering tone: "Ah Heng has good taste. If he had married that Lan Lan, our family would be broken up now. How could we be so complete and happy?"
