Just after the Spring Festival in 1971, Wei Jianguo received a piece of news, a piece of news that made him feel both excited and a little conflicted.
Their military region has four places for further studies in the military academy for one year.
It is said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.
When he just came off the battlefield, Wei Jianguo felt that his mission had been accomplished and planned to live his life well after he was discharged from the army.
When they first got married, he told Song Shuxi about his plans.
But today, after going through so much, he wants to continue to stay in the army and stay here for a long time.
So, he wanted to go, to learn, and to improve himself.
But, going to study for a year means leaving home for a year. This year, Song Shuxi had to handle all the big and small matters in the family by herself.
The two children are still young, and Wei Jianguo is worried that Song Shuxi cannot handle it alone.
Not to mention anything else, Song Shuxi couldn't take care of the vegetable garden, yard and firewood at home.
There may be changes in work after you come back.
Commander Lu vaguely revealed that when forming a special operations team, those who can participate must be the best people in each military region.
Wei Jianguo wants to participate.
He has been in a state of conflict and entanglement recently, and Liu Xinguo felt very upset for him.
"What are you thinking? It's such a good opportunity, why don't you sign up quickly?"
"I can't leave my wife and children behind, will you join me?"
Liu Xinguo didn't even think about it and blurted out, "Participate. It's such a good opportunity. Don't say you don't know what this opportunity means. To be honest, you are the most competitive in our military region.
A rule that only officers under the age of 28 and above at the battalion level can be admitted limits the number of people.
Not to mention those far away, even the new captain Zhang’s eyes were red with envy. I have seen him go to the leader and apply to join the selection.
The leader said that even if it was one year older, it was still older, and rejected it. Tsk tsk, if he knew your dilemma, he would be pissed to death. "
Wei Jianguo still couldn't make a decision. "I'll go back and discuss it. My wife also has her own job, I'll see if there's any conflict with her plans. I also have to see if I can find someone to help take care of the family."
Liu Xinguo thought of Song Shuqian and felt that this was necessary. In life, Song Shuqian was indeed not a very good mother.
Suddenly I'm not envious anymore.
Deputy Commander Wang and Commander Lu were also waiting for Wei Jianguo to make a decision, as he was the person they most favored.
The activities were very intense in the past few years and the military academy was also affected and did not recruit any students for several years.
The resumption of enrollment this year is the result of efforts from all parties. Attracting everyone's attention.
"Old Lu, do you think this kid will not sign up? I'm really worried to death."
Deputy Commander Wang walked around the room and threatened to use his power to sign up Wei Jianguo if he didn't.
Such a good seedling cannot be let go.
Master Lu looked at the problem very comprehensively. "This is not a trivial matter. The couple needs to discuss it together. Wait, we will know the result tomorrow."
He was not in a hurry at all, and looked leisurely at Deputy Commander Wang who was walking around the room.
Wei Jianguo and Song Shuqian have been married for three years, and he has been watching them for three years. Song Shuqian is a very smart and rational person. She will definitely support Wei Jianguo in further studies.
On the one hand, it is to support his work and let him realize his dream without any regrets.
On the other hand, the girl is a little worried about her identity, otherwise such a lazy person would not go to work in the research institute. The main purpose is to give herself an extra advantage.
Now Wei Jianguo is going to study for a year, and he will have a bright future when he comes back, so she will naturally support him.
The reality is pretty much what Commander Lu expected.
When he came back that night, Wei Jianguo didn't even have time to eat, and he pulled Song Shuxi aside to talk about going to the military academy.
"...Wife, I can't bear to leave you and my two children."
Song Shuqian's first reaction was, go ahead, I have so many people to take care of me, but then she thought, she is no longer in the Dayong Dynasty.
There's really no way to deal with this kind of subconscious reaction.
She said, “I know you are worried about me living alone and taking care of two children, so let’s think about the problems we may encounter, list them one by one, and look for solutions.
If I can do it myself, you go. If I really can't overcome it, we will seek help. I think Captain Zhang and the others also hope that you can get through.
This opportunity is extremely rare. Your practical experience and individual combat capabilities are both top-notch. What is lacking is theoretical knowledge, which is essential if you want to go a long way.
If I don't learn here, I will learn somewhere else in the future. "
Song Shuqian sees things very clearly. She just doesn't have much ambition, but she's not stupid.
The better Wei Jianguo develops, the better it will be for their small family, and the more help it will be for their two children in the future.
The couple took out paper and pen and carefully listed various possible problems they might encounter.
These include: the housework will increase. When Wei Jianguo was at home, Song Shuqian never washed her own clothes; taking care of the two children, Wei Jianguo is usually around. He is stricter and will correct any bad habits the two children have; the two children may miss their dad.
Compared to the future, these are all surmountable.
Wei Jianguo can ask two young soldiers who are on good terms with him to help tidy up the yard and vegetable garden, and they may not even plant any crops. They are not short of money, so they can just spend money to buy some.
The children miss their father, so Song Shuqian can take the two children to see him and ask her comrades-in-arms to help take care of them.
Eventually, the two discovered that there were basically no problems that couldn't be solved.
Wei Jianguo and Song Shuxi earn about 200 yuan per month, which is definitely a high-income group in this era.

Just spend some money and you can solve 90% of the problems.
For the rest, the family quarters and the logistics department can help solve it.
Without any worries, Wei Jianguo plans to register tomorrow.
Song Shuqian suggested, "Let's hold a family meeting later, let the two kids participate, and seek their opinions.
We can try to let them think and make decisions. "
"They are only two years old and don't understand anything yet. It's not necessary," Wei Jianguo found it incredible. What could a two-year-old child understand?
Song Shuqian doesn't think so. "It's not something that we learn little by little. No one is born knowing it. We just need to participate and guide them to make the same decision as us.
The purpose of this is to guide their thinking and make them feel involved in the affairs of the family.
While you're away from home for the next year, it will also help them learn to be responsible for their own decisions. "
Wei Jianguo...Can they understand? They are only two years old.
"It's not about making them understand all at once, but mainly about developing this habit. All family matters should be decided in meetings. Over time, they will gradually understand.
When they are about ten years old, we can hand over all the chores in our household to the two brothers, and we will just provide guidance from them.
Now I feel that it’s a good thing that we are twins, so we always have someone to discuss everything with. "
When it comes to educating his children, Wei Jianguo generally respects Song Shuxi and listens to her when he doesn't understand something.
The next day, they held a family meeting.
Song Shuqian presided over the meeting. She said, "Comrade Wei Yannan, comrade Wei Yibei, come here. Dad has something to discuss with us."
The two cubs ran over, one hugged their father and the other hugged their mother.
Wei Jianguo asked them to stand still.
“Dad has something very important to discuss with you two and Mom, which may affect our family’s future life.
Well, Dad now has a chance to go to school.
But the school is far away, and dad may not be able to come home for the whole year. "
Song Shuqian expressed her opinion first, "I support my father. We must persist in learning at all times. It is very rare for my father to get this opportunity to study.
It's important to Dad's work. "
To Song Shuxi and Wei Jianguo's surprise, both children were thinking.
"Dad, is this study important?" An An asked.
"Mom, can we go see Dad?" Lele asked.
“It is very important for me to study. This opportunity is rare. It is only because my father is good enough that I have the opportunity to go to school.
We can go see Dad, but only once. For the next year, you two will live with your mother. "
"How long is a year?"
"You are three-year-old comrades now. When you become four-year-old comrades, it will be one year," Song Shuqian explained.
"Dad, will you miss us?" Lele asked.
"Yes, Dad will miss you very much and will write to you."
"Then we agree that Dad should go."
