""The head of the troops, from the sponsored students in the village to today"."
In the village, our family was the poorest. My grandmother only had two sons, and my grandfather died of illness when my father was 9 years old, leaving a heavy burden on the family. Although my grandmother was uneducated, she knew the importance of reading, so she always told my father and second uncle to study hard to change their destiny.
My second uncle was gifted and intelligent, and his learning ability was very strong, and he was often at the top of the school, while my father was more wooden and his grades were not satisfactory. They are of the same age and their families are poor, and in order to ease the burden on their grandmother, they offered to drop out of school to work in the farm, but the grandmother was worried that this would ruin their future.
When the village chief learned about our family's situation, he held a meeting in the village. The villagers thought that the second uncle was excellent in his studies, and they expressed their willingness to fund and support him to study until college, while my father decided to wait for him to finish junior high school before deciding.
With the help of the whole village, the second uncle worked harder. He was admitted to the best middle school in the county with excellent grades, and later successfully entered the military school. During his time at the military academy, he performed well, and won the praise of the regiment commander with his hard-working spirit and excellent eloquence. Luckily, he fell in love with the regimental leader's daughter and eventually got married. After graduating, he was assigned to the army and became a platoon commander.
Because of the relationship between the village chief, the people in the village asked the second uncle for help. However, in the face of the village chief's son's request, the second uncle refused without hesitation. This move made him perceive as ungrateful, and his image was damaged.
After I graduated from high school, I didn't get into college because of my poor grades. My father suggested that I join the army, but at the same time warned me to win glory for my second uncle and not to disgrace him. After I entered the army, I trained hard and my grades were stable at the top, but in the end I did not enter the military school.
The second uncle told me that I had a chance, but because of the special experience of another soldier in the company, he chose to let me give way. Although I felt depressed, my second uncle comforted me and encouraged me to keep up my good work.
The following year, I finally got the opportunity to enter the military academy and finally managed to get in. Although the second uncle is still strict with me, I understand his good intentions.
With the passage of time, the second uncle was promoted all the way to become a military-level cadre because of the clear distinction between public and private. Although he was still disputed by the villagers, he was a well-respected and beloved mentor in the hearts of the soldiers of the unit.
