Soldiers are responsible to the country, but they let down their families. Since ancient times, loyalty to the country and filial piety have been mutually exclusive! In modern times, it is a matter of righteousness and personal love that cannot be reconciled!
These soldiers are also pitiful; they have to juggle multiple responsibilities, making it difficult to balance their careers and families.
To serve their country, they walked a path between danger and death.
When I was young, things were good. In the army, I had comrades from all over the country to fight alongside, and we could entrust our lives to each other. Although we often faced crises, we had like-minded comrades to accompany us.
But nothing lasts forever, and life after leaving the army was not easy. He was covered in wounds, penniless, and in his thirties, he had to find his own way.
Entering society, they face numerous challenges! Many veterans do not receive adequate resettlement and their income is not guaranteed.
After more than a decade of service in the military, he could barely make ends meet. The noble spirit of a soldier has been reduced to the lowest rung of society – a tragedy for society.
This is also the helplessness of many soldiers and their families!
Even if a high-ranking officer is transferred to civilian work, his salary will drop by two levels. In peacetime, how difficult it is to get promoted in the military!
When they arrived at the destination, they were immediately humbled. There are many phenomena in society today that are hard to understand!
People in military uniform inspire admiration, but once they take it off, no one gives them a second glance; they simply remark, "You were a soldier!"
Zhou Yi still wanted to be a soldier for life, but Chen Hong didn't want to respond to him. "Young man, you're too idealistic!"
The military today is no longer as pure as it used to be! Without connections, even if you're covered in medals, it's not easy to get promoted.
There are too many junior officers in the military, and outstanding soldiers abound; the competition is even fiercer than in civilian life. It's not just about military achievements!
These past few years have been the darkness before dawn. There are many arrogant and domineering gangsters in society who bully and dominate the market, and incidents of injury and disability occur frequently.
Most victims are afraid to report the crime because of the influence of organized crime, difficulties in obtaining evidence, and the lack of enforcement by law enforcement agencies. There are still some chaotic industries in society.
It wasn't until the national crackdown on organized crime and gang-related activities began that a nationwide campaign to eradicate evil was launched.
From now on, no one in the country will dare to call themselves a gangster anymore; they'll be reported and arrested by the people in no time.
My mind was racing with random thoughts, but it didn't affect my actions at all as I opened the clam to retrieve the pearl.
She's already opened hundreds of kilograms of clams, so she's developed muscle memory for it, and her movements are incredibly nimble and smooth!
At 2:30 pm, Chen Hong stopped what she was doing. Not wanting the children to go beachcombing on their own, she changed her clothes and shoes and went with them.
When they arrived at the beach, their hearts sank; there were more people on the beach than fish in the sea.
Not only do able-bodied men, women, and children from the village come to the beach to collect seafood, dry it, and sell it for money, but also many others come to the beach to gather seafood.
Even tourists, seeing so many people on the beach, joined in the fun, buying small plastic buckets and metal tongs to rummage through the sand.
This isn't beachcombing! It's more like chasing people away!
She told the three children to wait on the beach and not move, then quickly ran home to get her fishing rod; it seemed it was time to go fishing.
It's currently the fishing ban season, and most of the fishing boats in the village have stopped sailing. Some fishermen are out gathering seafood to dry oysters, while others have gone out to work elsewhere.
Back on the beach, Chen Hong drove up in her car, carrying her full set of fishing gear.
Chen Hong put the children in the car and drove them a long way until they finally found a large reef.
This reef extends more than 100 meters into the sea, and the surrounding area is also full of reefs of various sizes, with complex terrain, making it a suitable habitat for large fish.
Chen Hong set up two fishing rods, each over three meters long, for Yu Yang and the other two to use. They were just playing around and didn't expect them to catch any fish.
She uses a five-meter-long hand and sea surf fishing rod, with carbon fiber fishing line and hooks. The size 5 Qianyou fishing rod can catch fish weighing two to five or six kilograms.
Chen Hong used clam meat dug out of the space. These clams had been kept in the space for more than ten days, and the meat dug out had been soaking in the space's water.
It has a deadly allure to fish in the sea, so Chen Hong is now cheating no matter what she does while fishing.
She no longer needs to bait the water; she can see clearly what kind of fish are underwater, how many there are, and how big they are.
Just five minutes after casting her line, Chen Hong caught a bass weighing over two pounds.
Chen Hong sat on a small stool without even leaning forward, lifted the rod to set the hook, and calmly maintained a steady speed, pulling the fish up in no time.
When the children saw that she had caught a fish, they rushed over to help, shouting and yelling. Some grabbed the landing net, others opened the tackle box, and they didn't even care about their own fishing rods.
How unreliable! She knew it; if she relied on those three brats, she wouldn't even get a seaweed to eat today!
Chen Hong swung the fish up, grabbed the fishing line, caught the bass, removed the hook, put the fish in the fishing box, poured in a bucket of seawater, and turned on the aerator.
Looking at the children squatting excitedly in front of the fishing box, I said helplessly, "Did you come here to fish, or to watch fishing?"
"You've got a fish on your fishing rod! If you don't do something about it, the fish will steal the rod!"
Upon hearing Chen Hong's reminder, the three children turned around sharply and saw that their fishing rods were indeed nodding violently, and the bells on the rod tips were ringing.
Forget about the big fish anymore, they swarmed to their fishing spots, grabbed their rods, and frantically started reeling in the water.
Fortunately, the black sea bream took the bait right into its mouth, and the delicious bait was taken very deep; otherwise, with the way the three of them were messing around, many fish would have gotten away.
Fortunately, after the initial panic, the three children finally found the best rhythm to work together and actually managed to slowly pull the black sea bream out of the water.
