"Congratulations to Comrade Zhang Dajun. He received 62 votes, the highest number of votes among all the candidates. He has successfully obtained a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Let's give him a round of applause and encouragement. Let Comrade Zhang Dajun of our brigade become an even better person."
As soon as Captain Wang finished his announcement, the crowd became lively, and everyone began to talk and look at Zhang Dajun with envy.
Zhang Dajun hugged her grandmother excitedly, and both of them cried with joy: "Grandma, I can really go to college. I have fulfilled the last wish of my father and grandfather. I am so happy."
"Da Jun, I've waited for so many years and finally it's time. I'll be able to die without any shame and go meet your grandfather and father. After you go to college, you will definitely be capable. I'll be relieved to leave you alone in the future.
When we get back, we'll burn incense for your grandfather and father and tell them the good news, so they can rest assured in heaven and watch over you well."
"Grandma, what nonsense are you talking about? You should stay with me. I haven't married or had children yet. The task you promised Dad and Grandpa has not been completed yet.
Grandma, school is starting now. You should accompany me to Beijing to attend university. We should be together forever and realize our family's dream together. When I have time, I will take you to see the Great Wall."
"Da Jun, you go to school well. I will stay at home and earn work points to save for you to marry. It will also cost a lot of money to raise children in the future. Grandma needs to save some more for you. You are not like other people who have helpers. Grandma must make plans early."
"Grandma, we have enough money. We have Dad's pension and a living allowance from the university. When I graduate and get a job, I'll have a salary. I can earn money to marry a wife and raise my own children.
Grandma, please come to Beijing with me. We have depended on each other since we were young. I can't get used to you leaving me.
You've worked hard for most of your life, it's time to enjoy yourself and go out for a walk. Let's go see the places that Grandpa and Dad want to go, okay?"
Whenever Zhang Dajun mentioned his father and grandfather, Grandma Wang's eyes would turn red, and she couldn't bear to refuse Zhang Dajun.
Aunt Li also advised: "Aunt Wang, you should accompany Dajun to the capital. You have worked hard all your life and finally made it. It is time to live a good life. If you stay at home, Dajun will be worried and you won't be able to study well. If you two are in the capital, you can take care of each other.
Don't worry about your family. We will take good care of your house. No one dares to touch it. Whenever you want to come back, you can come back. Even if you go to Beijing, you will always be a member of our Songshan Brigade.
Aunt Wang, go out and relax, and spend some time with Da Jun. Only when you are in a good mood and in good health can you spend more time with Da Jun.
Da Jun has a miserable life too. You are his only relative since he was young. You must live a long life, otherwise, can you really bear to leave Da Jun alone?
Take good care of your health. At least wait until Dajun gets married and has a family, then you can rest assured."
Aunt Liu also said: "Yes, Aunt Wang, you raised Da Jun all by yourself. You raised Da Jun when he was young, and now Da Jun is raising you in your old age.
Anyway, you two have pensions, so you can live anywhere, and Da Jun has never left you. Are you willing to let Da Jun go to the capital alone?
Dajun is still young, only 19 years old, still a child. When encountering big things, he still needs you to take control. Just help Dajun and continue to take good care of him. "
Grandma Wang thought for a long time before she said firmly, "Okay, Dajun, I'll go to college with you. As long as I can be with Dajun, I'm not afraid of anything. Dajun is my life."
"Grandma, you are so kind. I will study hard. After graduation, when I have my assigned job, I will find you a granddaughter-in-law that you like. We will both honor you and give birth to a big fat boy for you to play with."
Grandma Wang looked at Zhang Dajun kindly, touched his head, and complained helplessly: "Stinky boy, when you look for a wife, you should find someone you like. As long as you like her, grandma likes her. Our Dajun has been kind-hearted since he was a child. The wife he will marry in the future will definitely be a kind-hearted person."
"Okay, then I'll find someone that we both like. Then my wife and I can have more children, which will make our home more lively and give us both more relatives."
Captain Wang saw that the discussion had died down, so he quickly said loudly, "Everyone, be quiet. Zhang Dajun deserves to be selected.
He is a martyr. It was his father who used his body to block the enemy that allowed us to have a stable life today. He grew up without a father, so this can be considered as compensation for him.
But at the same time, Comrade Zhang Dajun is also very outstanding. He can go to school, do work, and even cook. He takes good care of himself and his grandmother.
Zhang Dajun and his grandmother are both very strong and are role models for us to learn from. They face the hardships of life with neither arrogance nor servility, and are always positive and optimistic.
I hope Comrade Zhang Dajun will study hard and contribute to the country and society in the future. Don't forget our Songshan Brigade. The Songshan Brigade will always welcome you back."
"Captain, I will never forget Songshan Brigade. I will bring my grandma back every year.
I will never forget the people who helped me and my grandma, and I will repay you in the future. Thank you for taking care of me and my grandma."
Zhang Dajun had barely finished speaking when the villagers began praising him again: "Dajun is indeed a soldier's son. He has been outstanding since childhood and was selected to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University at the age of 19."
"Yes, time flies. He was only 6 years old when his father died. He only cried when he was sent back, but I haven't seen him cry since then."
"That's right. Zhang Dajun is quite pitiful. His mother is also very cruel. Old Zhang just left and got married directly."
