Chapter 341 Great Righteousness
During the Little New Year in Northeast China, people usually do a thorough cleaning of their homes.
Families with better conditions will make dumplings, sticky rice dumplings and other delicious foods together and have a good meal at home.
This year's Little New Year's Eve in the Red Flag Brigade was particularly lively. Not only did every household offer sacrifices to their ancestors,
The children in the village also put on new clothes, walked on the snow, set off firecrackers, ran and played in the village. For a time, the entire Red Flag Brigade was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Lin Lao Er was wearing a military coat and carrying a military bag.
Looking at the groups of children in the village playing in the snow, a nostalgic expression appeared on his face.
While watching the children playing, Lin Laoer quickened his pace and walked towards his home.
"Wife, wife, are you home? I'm back."
Wang Hua heard the shouting outside, and hurried to the gate of the yard to open it, then hugged Lin Lao Er tightly, and said with a choked voice:
"You dead man, why did you take so long to come back, sir? I missed you so much."
Lin Lao Er held the crying old woman in his arms, patted Wang Hua on the back, and said coaxingly:
"Wife, I miss you and your mother too. I have been busy with work and I can't get leave. This time I am going home, I have collected two years of leave so that I can spend more time with you and the children."
"Woo woo woo, sir, come in quickly, it's cold outside, get on the kang and warm up first."
After saying that, Wang Hua pulled Lin Laoer into the room. After letting Lin Laoer get on the kang, Wang Hua took out the snacks and dried fruits at home and said, "Come on, sir, eat some snacks first. I'll go cook right away. Let's have a hot meal first."
After Wang Hua finished speaking, he was about to go to the kitchen, but Lin Lao Er grabbed his hand and said:
"Wife, I came back straight after getting off the bus. I'm not hungry now.
Put these snacks away quickly and give them to the children later."
Wang Hua finally calmed down and said, "It's okay, my dears. Our family is doing better now.
Not only do we have money and food, but we also have various coupons. Our family has everything we need now.”
Although Lin Lao Er often wrote to Wang Hua, many facts in the letters were not clear, so Lin Lao Er asked:
"Why is everything so good at home all of a sudden?"
Wang Hua saw that his husband was really not hungry, so he leaned on Lin Laoer's arms and said, "Hey, this is all thanks to you for recognizing my good brother Wang Yuanchao.
The aid to Korea was really powerful. In just three years, it not only helped our Hongqi Brigade get rid of poverty and become rich, but also built a red brick factory in our Hongqi Brigade.
Let every household in our Hongqi Brigade have a worker, so that everyone can not only get a salary every month, but also various coupons. So now every household in our Hongqi Brigade has a good life. "
Lin Lao Er looked at the new quilt and new furniture in the room, nodded in agreement, and said, "This kid Yuan Chao even built a red brick factory? Not bad."
"Hey, this is all forced out."
"How do you say it?"
"At that time, the poultry breeding bases set up to aid North Korea were profitable.
As a result, they were targeted. Yuan Chao and Secretary Zeng tried their best to exchange conditions with the other party.
The final result was that the poultry breeding base with an annual output value of 10 million was taken away by the other party, in exchange for the red brick factory, school, clinic, bridge and cement road of our brigade today . By the way, sir, when you came back, didn’t you find that you were walking on a cement road? This was what we discussed when we exchanged the conditions. "
"I left. At that time, I was wondering how our Red Flag Brigade had such facilities. I thought it was built by the county or city."
Thinking of this, Wang Hua couldn't help but sigh and said:
"Alas, if the poultry breeding base is not taken away, our brigade will not be able to build a cement road to the national highway.
Even building a road directly to the provincial capital is no problem.
But it's okay now, we still have the red brick factory,
Every household in our brigade receives a salary every month, and their living conditions are much better than before.”
"In our family, did you also go to work at the Red Brick Factory?"
"Well, yes, you know that Yuan Chao has been taking care of our family all these years. I have never suffered any loss when I worked with him. Now I am the leader of the Red Brick Factory."
"Hey, after reading your letter, I still can't believe it.
I didn’t expect that our Red Flag Brigade has changed so much.”
"Yes, sir, our life is good now. Why don't you just retire from the army? Then we can ask Yuan Chao to arrange for you to work in our red brick factory. Then we can both work and have a happy life in the future."
Lin Laoer wanted to get angry, but when he saw his wife's expectant eyes, he couldn't say anything and could only remain silent.
Wang Hua looked at Lin Laoer expectantly for a long time. Seeing Lin Laoer sitting there without saying a word, he already knew the result in his heart and could only grieve silently.
Lin Lao Er hugged Wang Hua tightly and said with guilt:
"Wife, the North has frequently violated the border in the past two years, and the conflict with us has intensified. In March this year, we fought a battle on Zhendao Island. This time, I made a contribution again, and the army promoted me. Now I am the deputy company commander.
As long as I work harder, I will be able to take you with me soon."
Wang Hua was heartbroken at this moment, knowing that his husband was determined to stay in the army, so he said, "Master, you don't have to work so hard. My daughters and I are living a good life at home now. We are taken care of by the Aid Korea. I am now the housekeeper of the red brick factory of our brigade. We are living a good life, but we lack you at home. So I hope you can retire and go home. After all, in the army, we often fight and it is very dangerous.
Our family's living conditions are getting better and better now, so there's really no need for you to work so hard anymore."
Lin Lao Er's eyes flashed coldly, but he quickly suppressed his displeasure and said in a slow tone: "Silly woman, this is really a woman's opinion.
If everyone thinks like you, and just wants to live their own little life,
If no one had stepped forward to serve as a soldier, to fight bravely and defend the country, there would be no new country we have now, and we would not have the good life we have now.
I still remember the war between warlords in our country and the invasion of the Sakura bandits.
Wherever we go in our country, there are corpses everywhere and the people are living in misery.
Every household was poor, some were conscripted into the army, some were raped and killed, some were massacred. We ordinary people lived in fear every day. Do you want to see that happen again?
The country is the country of our millions of people.
The country needs our soldiers to have a spirit of dedication, to sacrifice their own lives and to defend the country.
At the same time, it is also to protect our little home, daughter-in-law, can you understand me?"
