Chapter 233: I have promised my country my whole life
Director Luo looked at Luo Hui and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure you want to join the army? You don't care about me and your mother, or your grandpa and grandma?"
"Luo Hui, you have to understand that you are the only grandson in our family. If something happens to you, how will we live?"
Luo Hui was silent for a moment, then looked at his father. The determination in his eyes had never wavered because of his father's words: "Dad, from the moment I decided to join the army, I made all preparations."
Including preparations for sacrifice.
He said, "Dad, even if I am not here, you still have my five sisters. They are all sensible and filial girls. I believe my sisters will take care of you in your old age."
"As for me." Luo Hui smiled and looked at his father: "I have pledged my life to the country."
"If I can live well, I will get married and have children when I am old enough."
If he really has to go on a mission in the future and unfortunately dies, it will prove that he has a weak connection with this home and his own family.
Director Luo was silent for a long time, then he wiped away his tears and took a deep breath: "Luo Hui, you are fine."
After saying this, he turned and left.
For a moment, Luo Hui felt that his father's back was even more hunched than when he first arrived.
He is really old.
Luo Hui looked at his father's back and said slowly, "Dad, no matter what time it is, I will do my best to come back alive."
Director Luo paused for a moment, then nodded: "Your parents, grandparents, and your sister will be waiting for you at home."
His son has made his choice, what else can he do?
He should be proud to have such a sensible son.
But he couldn't help it, he just wanted to cry, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
Luo Hui followed Director Luo and sent the man out of the village. During this process, neither the father nor the son spoke.
One is that he is angry and doesn’t want to talk to his son.
One doesn't know what to say.
The day before leaving, Chu Ming chatted with Guo Hongying alone. He looked at his beloved girl and said softly, "Wait for my letter back."
Guo Hongying nodded: "Okay."
She understood that whether they had a future or not depended on this time.
Chu Ming reached out and held Guo Hongying's hand on the table. He looked at the girl opposite him seriously and said, "I know that I chose to join the army, but I also want to choose you. It's a bit selfish."
"But I don't want to let go. I hope there is a future between us."
Guo Hongying looked at the two people holding hands, and her ears instantly turned red. She lowered her head and said softly: "I also hope that I can have a future with you."
This is what she really thinks.
"So, I will wait for your letter here, and I will try my best to fight for it once more." Guo Hongying pulled back her hand and reminded quietly: "So, there is only one chance between us, no more."
Chu Ming nodded: "One chance is enough. I believe that God will not be so cruel to me every time."
"I want to believe that he has left the best here for me."
Guo Hongying thought about how he lost his grandmother because of his previous partner and sighed: "I believe it too."
She is still happy to say words to comfort others.
As for the truth, we'll see later.
On the second day of December, the anniversary of Chu Ming, Luo Hui left Nanfu County.
In the evening, several male educated youth stopped training and sat outside the yard of the educated youth center drinking.
Zhang Tiesheng said: "When we first went to the countryside, there were only two educated youths in the camp. Later, Huo Zhiqing and Wen Zhou came. In less than a year, there were nearly 20 educated youths in the camp."
"Wenzhou and Big Brother have found jobs, Yuliang has returned to the northwest, Hongqi has also found a job, and now three more have left." Zhang Tiesheng took a sip of wine and smiled helplessly: "I'm afraid it won't be long before we really have to go our separate ways."
Ji Qing laughed when he heard this: "Don't be like that, they are all going to pursue their own future, this is a good thing, we should be happy for them."
Ou Jianguo smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is a happy event."
"No matter who we are, as long as there is a way out, we will fight hard. Even if we fail in the end, the Youth League Center is still our way out."
At this point, Ou Jianguo sighed. He didn't know when it started, but he felt that his retreat was no longer his parents who were thousands of miles away in Beijing, but the educated youth training center.
Thinking of his parents, he smiled bitterly. His parents hadn't written to him for a long time, and the letters he wrote back fell on deaf ears.
In fact, he was not the only one. Ji Qing in the educated youth center also experienced the same thing.
They knew in their hearts that this was abandoned.
The parents probably felt that they would never be able to return to the city in this lifetime, so they were unwilling to spend more time on a son who had no value.
Instead of pinning your hopes on others, it is better to use the educated youth training center as your last resort.
He still remembers that when Yuliang left, Secretary Zhou patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: Boy, if you can't get used to being outside, then come back, the Five-Star Brigade is also your home.
This place really feels like home.
Ji Qing leaned aside and smiled: "Why bother about what others think? We have enough food and clothes now, and we don't have to go around asking anyone for help."
"It's like what they said, if it doesn't work out, then come back and you can support yourself by farming here."
Zhang Tiesheng glanced at Ji Qing. He felt that among the Zhiqing points, apart from Huo Zhiqing, Ji Qing was the most mysterious person.
He seemed to have a lot on his mind that he couldn't tell anyone.
Zhang Tiesheng smiled and nodded: "The Five-Star Brigade has beautiful mountains, rivers, and people. Now they have opened a pharmaceutical factory. If you want to work in the factory in the future, you should work hard to pass the exam. You will always be able to live a good life."
"Even if Yuliang left the Five Star Brigade, he would still send us letters every month. Sometimes he would even send us special products from the Northwest. Our contact has not been interrupted. I believe that they will continue to keep in touch with us."
As for Zhiqing Huo, every time he wrote to Zhiqing Yu, he never forgot to write a few words to all the educated youth in the educated youth group, reminding them to train well, work hard, and study hard.
Just like a nagging elder. Yes, in Zhang Tiesheng's view, Huo Lanci is just like the elder in the family, strict and demanding.
Ji Qing listened to Zhang Tiesheng's words and laughed: "Sometimes I think it's not bad for Wenzhou to live like this. He has a lovely wife and a lovely daughter at home. His life is really comfortable and pleasant."
Li Guodong smiled and stepped forward: "Comrade Ji Qing, are you tempted and want to get married?"
In their eyes, Ji Qing has always been a very rational and calm person.
In fact, sometimes being too calm is not a good thing.
Ji Qing pushed the person away and said, "Go away. I don't have any female comrades I like. Stop guessing here."
How can a man like him be qualified to marry a wife?
