Shen Xiaobei found such a tall and mighty military brother to be his brother-in-law. Shen Mingliang was very happy and proud. He would have something to show off in front of his classmates in the future.
As they walked, he asked the same questions he had already asked at home.
"Brother-in-law, can you really fly a real plane in the Air Force?"
"certainly!"
"Can you play with a real pistol?"
“That’s right!”
Duan Xichuan was very patient and answered his brother-in-law's questions with a smile on his face.
"Then I want to be in the Air Force too! I'll be flying real planes and playing with real pistols every day. That would be so cool!"
"It's really impressive! However, our Air Force doesn't accept students with poor academic performance. If you want to be an impressive Air Force officer in the future, you must study hard and become a good student who excels in every subject."
When Duan Xichuan said this, he smiled at Shen Xiaobei tacitly.
On the way to Jing County, he heard from Shen Xiaobei that Shen Mingliang was too playful and had very poor grades.
He took the opportunity to brainwash the little guy, to see if he could unlock the child's inner motivation and get him to focus more on studying in the future.
"Ah? You have to get good grades in every subject?"
"What, Mingliang? This is stumping you? So you don't want to fly real planes and play with real guns in the future?"
"Of course I did!"
"Then you have to believe in yourself. As long as you work hard enough, you will definitely excel in every subject."
"When the time comes, my brother-in-law will be waiting for you in the army and will personally teach you how to fly a real plane. If you want to go to the desert, the forest, or the sea, my brother-in-law can take you there!"
"Really, brother-in-law? Do you keep your word?"
"Of course! My brother-in-law always keeps his word. If you don't believe me, ask your elder sister."
Hearing Duan Xichuan’s words, Shen Mingliang immediately turned his head to look at Shen Xiaobei, who smiled happily.
He immediately cooperated and said, "Of course, whatever your brother-in-law says counts!"
"So, Mingliang, when school starts next month, you have to study hard. That way, you can join your brother-in-law's army and become a majestic soldier like him!"
"Then your sister won't look down on you and hit you on the head all the time, right?"
"Humph, my sister is a tigress! But I won't be afraid of her anymore! When I become an air force officer like my brother-in-law, I wonder if she still dares to hit me on the head all the time?"
"Hahaha, if you really make it to the Air Force, your sister and our whole family will be so proud of you. How could they bear to knock you on the head!"
Under the "enticement" of Duan Xichuan and Shen Xiaobei, Shen Mingliang made a great ambition that night that he must become an air force officer when he grows up.
Seeing this naughty brother able to establish his own lofty ideals at a young age, Shen Xiaobei felt very happy and relieved for him.
In this world, there are no children who are born talented.
Any child who can succeed must have ideals.
When a child's ideal is still in a state of confusion about the future and the world, he or she desperately needs adults to act like a guiding light to help guide and establish a prototype of it.
The prototype of Shen Mingliang's ideal was thanks to Duan Xichuan's personal experience.
If he can really become a talented person in the future, then his brother-in-law Duan Xichuan will be considered a benefactor in his life.
The next morning, after having breakfast at Shen's house, Shen Xiaobei, Duan Xichuan, Xu Yongzhi, Shen Mingliang and Chen Chenshan set out together and took a bus to Baiju Brigade.
Shen Xiaobei arranged for the three of them to live in the educated youth camp, so that they could be with Shen Mingzhu and the whole family together.
Shen Mingzhu was happier than anyone else when she saw her family coming.
However, when she saw Shen Mingliang, she knocked on his head out of habit and asked fiercely, "Shen Mingliang, did you play every day during the summer vacation and not focus on your studies?"
"I'm telling you, if you keep playing like this, you'll only be able to beg for rice in the future, and even farmers won't hire you!"
"Humph, I won't come here to farm like you in the future! I want to be an air force officer like my brother-in-law. I envy you so much!"
"Tsk, you still want to be like my brother-in-law? Aren't you afraid that people will laugh at you?"
"Mingzhu, stop making fun of your brother..."
The Shen family gathered together, and although it was noisy, it made the educated youth site feel more like home.
Even Ke Xiaoli and Mu Fangting felt warm in their hearts when they saw it nearby.
At night, Xu Yongzhi and Shen Mingzhu, mother and daughter, slept together, Chen Zhongshan and Shen Mingliang, father and son, slept in Shen Xiaobei's room, and Shen Xiaobei slept with Ke Xiaoli.
Although the weather was hot, Ke Xiaoli hugged Shen Xiaobei's arm affectionately and stayed close to her.
"Sister Xiaobei, I'm really happy that you're getting married, but I really can't bear to see you leave me so soon! Woohoo, when I think about how hard it will be to see you in the future, I feel like crying..."
"Xiao Li, Sister Xiao Bei is also reluctant to leave you. But, silly, all good things in life must come to an end. You will get married in the future, and you will have to leave Sister Xiao Bei too!"
"I know, but I just can't bear to see us part so soon! We have to meet again in the future, no matter how long it takes!"
"Don't worry about this. In the future, no matter how high the mountains and rivers are, it will be easy for people to meet each other."
"Because transportation will be very fast in the future, places that currently take two days to reach will only take a few hours in the future."
"And from now on, there will be no restrictions on the travel of us educated youth. We won't need any certificates from the brigade. You can go wherever you want and live wherever you want. We will regain our freedom, and no one will interfere with us anymore."
"Sister Xiaobei, is what you said true?"
"Yes, of course."
"Sister Xiaobei, tell me again, how will our future life be different from our current one?"
…
Seeing that Ke Xiaoli was so sad about parting with her, she really didn't want to let her leave.
Shen Xiaobei felt very warm and touched.
She spoke softly, as if she was telling a story to a child, and couldn't help but tell her in advance a lot about what people's future lives would be like.
Ke Xiaoli really listened to the story as if she was listening to it. She leaned her head on her shoulder and listened attentively. She didn't even ask her, "How do you know that your future life will be like this?"
Shen Xiaobei was talking for an unknown period of time when she realized that Ke Xiaoli had fallen asleep beside her like a kitten.
She couldn't help but smile, and then slowly closed her eyes.
I gradually fell asleep in this warm night, waiting to be a beautiful bride tomorrow, officially becoming Duan Xichuan's wife, and starting a new life with him.
