Chapter 119
After the couple agreed, they went back and called Lu Haici to the room alone.
Lu Cheng was not a person who would drag his feet. Since he had made up his mind, he said it directly. But before he said it, he expressed himself first: "Haici, before talking about the next thing, Mom and Dad want you to understand that we all love you very much."
Lu Haici nodded: "I know." He never doubted this. Mom and Dad loved him, and he loved Mom and Dad too. "Dad, don't worry, you can just say it directly, I believe Mom and Dad."
Seeing him like this, Lu Cheng said directly: "Actually, you are not my biological child."
Lu Haici: "...Dad, are you kidding?" He couldn't help laughing out loud. However, as he laughed, he saw that his parents were silent. He realized that this might not be a joke. "Dad, is this true?" His voice was trembling. He was afraid. He was not his father's child? When his mother came in, he was already five years old. He knew that he was not his mother's biological child, but he was not his father's biological child?
Lin Qingqing went forward and hugged him: "Whether you are your parents' biological child or not, it makes no difference, and it will not affect your parents' love for you. Moreover, your father is very good. He is an excellent and great soldier, and he sacrificed for the country." Lin Qingqing directly told the truth of the matter, "Your father and Lu Cheng's father are childhood friends, and grew up together. Before your father went on a mission, he wrote a suicide note to your Lu Cheng's father. After he died, the army gave his suicide note to your Lu Cheng's father. Haici, mother wants to say that you are happier than others, because you have two fathers who love you, and two mothers who love you."
Lu Haici's voice was blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say a word. However, he cried in Lin Qingqing's arms. When he first heard that he was not his father's biological child, he was shocked. To be honest, the shock was greater than the sadness. But when he heard that his biological father had died, he couldn't help crying. He didn't know why, but he couldn't help crying.
Lin patted his back gently and hugged him tightly. This was what she and Lu Cheng had discussed. They just said that Lu Haici's biological father and Lu Cheng were childhood friends. Now was not the time to talk about the grievances of the previous generation. After all, Lu Haici was still young.
The next day
, when Lu Haici went to school, Lu Cheng went with him. Lu Haici continued to go to school, and Lu Cheng found Lu Haici's class teacher and explained the situation.
After the teacher knew about Lu Haici's life experience, she felt very sorry for him. She didn't expect that Lu Haici was the orphan of a martyr. Ordinary people respected soldiers, so they would naturally take better care of the orphans of soldiers.
After Lu Cheng left school, he did not rush back, but went to the Youth Educated Office.
When the staff of the Youth Educated Office came in and saw Lu Cheng in military uniform and the badge on his uniform, they knew that he was a powerful military officer and immediately said respectfully, "Hello, comrade. What can I do for you?"
Lu Cheng said directly, "I am the parent of Lu Haici, a freshman in the first grade of the county's No. 1 Middle School. Yesterday, two of your comrades went to look for Lu Haici and said that he met the policy requirements for going to the countryside. May I ask which two comrades they were?"
Hearing Lu Cheng's words, the comrades of the Youth Educated Office thought that Lu Cheng was looking for trouble and became a little nervous. Especially the two comrades who went to find Lu Haici, but they still stood up and said: "We went to find Lu Haici."
Lu Cheng nodded and came to them: "Don't be nervous, I want to know how you know that Lu Haici meets the policy of going to the countryside? Lu Haici's household registration is not here, so you should not know it."
One of the comrades who went to the No. 1 Middle School in the county yesterday said: "We received a report from someone. Although the current national policy requires going to the countryside, we cannot search every household. But in the case of Lu Haici, when someone comes to report, since we know about it, we must go to supervise, and please understand our work. "
Lu Cheng was naturally understanding: "The country requires real-name reporting, so when the other party came to report, you verified the identity of the informant, right?" Lu Cheng was worried that someone was making trouble.
The comrade from the Youth Office also readily found the letter of accusation: "Yes, it was a male student from the No. 1 Middle School in the county. We verified the other party's identity and there was no problem with the identity, so we went."
Lu Cheng read the letter, and to be honest, he never thought that the other party would be a student from the No. 1 Middle School in the county. But since he is a student of No. 1 Middle School in the county, he and Lu Haici should have a personal grudge. Lu Cheng would not care about the personal grudges between children. He said: "I came today because there is one more thing. Lu Haici is not my biological son. He is my adopted son. His father was my childhood friend and was also a soldier, but he died before Lu Haici was born, so I adopted Lu Haici. In a few days, I will send you the military certification documents. I came to say hello in advance to tell you that Lu Haici does not comply with the country's policy of going to the countryside."
Seeing that Lu Cheng did not blame them. , the comrades of the Youth Office also breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for telling us, we know, we will not look for Lu Haici again."
Lu Cheng said: "Thank you for your understanding, then I will take the letter."
The comrades of the Youth Office: "Please take it, no problem."
Lu Cheng left the Youth Office and went to the No. 1 Middle School in the county. Since he knew who reported Lu Haici, he would of course tell the child to prevent the child from being plotted.
So, when Lu Haici learned about the incident from Lu Cheng and saw the letter, his three views were shattered. "Dad, I know. I will handle this matter. Sorry to have worried you."
Lu Cheng patted his head, like when he was a child: "I am your father, and it is normal for me to worry about you. Tell your family if anything happens. Remember, you will always be my son."
"Hey." Lu Haici responded very loudly.
At noon that day, when Lu Cheng returned to the family compound for lunch, he told Lin Qingqing about the matter.
Lin Qingqing was a little surprised, but not too surprised. Some people can't stand Lu Haici's good fortune, so they reported Lu Haici. This is probably human nature.
Lu Haici also went to find the person who wrote the letter after lunch at noon. Why did the other party report him? Because since junior high school, Lu Haici has been the number one in the school, and he is the second. Who likes to be the second forever? So, he was jealous of Lu Haici and reported him.
When Lu Haici was in junior high school, he was young and didn't need to go to the countryside for reporting. This year, Lu Haici is 16 years old, which is the age to go to the countryside, so he reported him.
The two of them also had a fight in school. Later, other classmates pulled them apart. However, the reason for the fight was known. The student who reported him was very contemptuous.
With Lu Haici's rural affairs resolved, during the winter vacation of this year, Lu Haici returned to his hometown, which was his biological father's hometown. Qin Ming and Ji Yang went with him. Several children aged 16 or 17 took the train alone. Some were worried, while others were relieved.
For example, in the case of Qin Ming and Ji Yang, Commander Qin and Ji Changfeng were relieved, while Zhang Hongping and Xu Huijuan were worried. In the minds of Commander Qin and Ji Changfeng, they had already joined the army when they were sixteen or seventeen years old, especially Commander Qin, who had already fought against the Japanese when he was sixteen or seventeen years old.
Therefore, he was happy that the children were going to travel far away on their own. This is called training children early.
The three children came back before the New Year. After they came back, the parents of the three families felt that the children had matured a lot.
Only children who have been independent will grow up gradually.
In the blink of an eye, it was 1976.
That day, when the family was having dinner, Lu Cheng suddenly said something.
"I will be transferred next month."
Lin paused: "Why so sudden? Transferred to another unit?" She has already gotten used to it here and really doesn't want to leave.
Lu Cheng said: "No, I was transferred to the capital. The situation is different now. Many people in the capital have been investigated, and some positions have been vacant and need to be filled, so I was considered."
Lu Cheng is 41 years old this year, and his position has not been moved for more than ten years. It's not that the higher-ups don't allow it to be moved, but the leader of the independent group has the highest position, and there are no more positions above.
Lin Qingqing thought: "It's good to go to the capital, anyway, I will wait..." Next year, when Lu Haici is admitted to a university in the capital, they are still worried about being separated from each other, but now they don't have to worry about it. "But, will it be too rushed to go there next month?"
"It's arranged by the higher-ups." Lu Cheng had no choice.
"My son-in-law has gone to the capital, what should we do?" Lin's mother asked.
Lin Qingqing said, "Let's stay here. When he is settled there, they can go there." In fact, Lin Qingqing's idea is to wait until Lu Haici is admitted to university before everyone goes there.
Lu Cheng said, "Qingqing's job can be transferred there. With her qualifications, it should be easy to change jobs." As for Lu Haici, he can go to the capital to take the college entrance examination, because they even transferred their household registration there in the past.
Lin Qingqing thought about it and thought that this was also possible. Although she planned to work for herself in the future and did not plan to eat the government's rice bowl, because she did not want to work from nine to five. But it would take several years before the reform and opening up, and she was not so quick to resign. "Then I'll apply to the army for a job transfer and see how the army arranges it. You go first, and I'll go after I've been transferred."
Lu Cheng: "Okay."
Lu Cheng was transferred to the capital in November 1976. He thought Lin Qingqing's job transfer would be quick, but it wasn't until March 1976 that she was transferred. The job she transferred to was in the city government.
The family of four did not live in the house arranged by Lu Cheng's unit, but in a house that Lu Cheng bought after he went there. It was a two-story house with an independent yard. The house was not big, but of course not small either. It cost 50,000 yuan for the whole house. At that time, those who could come up with 50,000 yuan to buy a house were definitely not ordinary conditions. You have to know that over the years, Lu Cheng and Lin Qingqing have only earned about 20,000 yuan from work, plus the more than 10,000 yuan in brined meat dividends that Lin Qingqing received in the early stage, which is only more than 30,000 yuan. So they were able to take out 50,000 yuan to buy a house, all thanks to the money left by Lu Cheng's mother.
In October 1977, the country announced the resumption of the college entrance examination, which attracted the laughter of students across the country. Lin Qingqing also caught up with the trend and signed up for the college entrance examination.
Originally, Lin Qingqing was reluctant to go, but Lu Cheng said that there were four people in the family, he was a college student, Lu Haici must also be a college student, Lu Xiaobao would also go to college in the future, and Lin Qingqing could not fall behind. So, Lin Qingqing also went, she thought that if she was admitted to college, her grandparents would definitely be happy.
