Chapter 1117 Qingyun Joins the Army 8
After hearing her sister's words and seeing the encouragement in her eyes, Feng Qingyun first ignited her ambition. She had been learning to read and write since she was a child, and had experienced the fickleness of the world. If it were not for her sister, she would not have survived at all. So she also had an ambition to be as good as other men. But when she turned around and saw the two pairs of black eyes of her nephew and niece, her so-called ambition disappeared in an instant.
She felt that her main task was to help her sister take care of the family and take care of her nephews and nieces.
"If I join the army, what will happen to Xibao and Fubao? Who will take care of them? What about my sister when she gives birth? This time she has not one baby, but two. My sister won't be able to take care of them all by herself." Feng Qingyun said seriously. She couldn't throw her promise to the wind just for her own future. If she did that, she would look down on herself.
Feng Qingxue rubbed her hair. "You are just a little girl, why do you worry so much? Others can take care of eight or ten children, but when Xi Bao grows up, I can't even take care of two little ones?"
"That's right, little sister. There are so many unemployed military dependents at home in the family compound. They rack their brains every day to find ways to supplement the family income. When the time comes, we can hire two neat, capable, honest and kind ladies to take care of your sister and your nephew. They will take better care of them than an underage girl like you!" Fang Ning said.
Yang Fengying looked at Feng Qingyun and liked her character, she was steady and kind.
Even when her own future is at stake, she still cares about the lives of her sister and nephew, which shows that she is a good child.
"Little sister, don't worry. Our army is a big family. Your sister is giving birth and can't take care of her by herself. Everyone will take turns to take care of her for several years." Yang Fengying's eyes were tender. "The situation in the capital is not very good. I am planning to bring my parents over. They will be able to help when the time comes."
Feng Qingyun bit her lower lip and looked at her sister, "Sister..."
Feng Qingxue said gently, "I didn't know you liked singing before. If I had known earlier, I would have cultivated you carefully, at least let you learn some vocal music from Aunt Xu. However, it's not too late now. The two people in front of you are both masters. Just a little guidance will be enough for you to benefit for a lifetime! I have thought about it before. Tianjun joined the army, Acheng became a doctor, Tianzhi has a talent for calligraphy and painting, and Ayu likes to listen to and make up stories. What industry would you like to work in? Now is a new era. I don't think women have to stay at home around children and the stove. We should have our own ideals and work and show our own value."
"Sister..." Feng Qingyun burst into tears.
The greatest luck in her life was that she had a good sister who loved her and cared about her in every way. She did not pass on to her, just because she was young, the pedantic ideas of many people in the team, that is, girls should get married when they grow up, wash clothes, cook, take care of children, serve the elderly, and work to earn work points.
"Don't cry, silly girl!" Seeing Fubao pulling his bib to wipe his aunt's tears, Feng Qingxue took back her handkerchief, "There's one more earner in our family, I'm so happy as your sister!"
"Earn money to buy some fruit!" Xi Bao cheered after she had eaten her fill and pushed her bowl forward.
"Okay, I'll buy some fruit for Xibao and Fubao when I get my salary." This sentence showed that she was willing to join the army.
Joining the army is not a simple matter. One needs to pass a political review, and the household registration, food and oil relations, etc. must be transferred from the Wanglou Brigade. Feng Qingxue sent a telegram to her family, and with the efforts of both sides, she went through all the procedures. With the special admission of Yang Fengying and Fang Ning, Feng Qingyun became an art soldier who made artistic contributions to the People's Liberation Army.
There are precedents, many art soldiers joined the army when they were in their teens.
