In 1979, after I failed the college entrance examination, I didn't plan to repeat my studies because of my poor family conditions, I thought I would be a farmer for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect the village party secretary to point out a clear way - "join the army".
With the help of the village party secretary, I successfully enlisted in the army, and then was admitted to the military academy, and after graduation, I returned to my hometown and married the second daughter of the village party secretary, making him my father-in-law.
(The content of this article is fictitious, ** from the Internet, please read it rationally).
My name is Wang Yue, I was born in 1961 in an ordinary family, and our family has been farmers for generations, but I have become a "special case".
I have been smart since I was a child, I read and learn words much faster than my peers, and my grades have always been among the best.
When I was young, I also enjoyed this title very much, and I always thought that I would be admitted to a good university in the future, and I will soar from then on.
However, a few months before the college entrance examination, my father suddenly fell ill, and the doctor invited by the village was helpless and had to go to the hospital in the town**. This rule almost wiped out our family's savings.
During that time, I had to prepare for the college entrance examination, but I was also worried about my father's situation, and I also fell ill and took the college entrance examination in a very poor state, and the result was that I fell off the list.
My parents persuaded me to repeat my studies for another year, but I knew that my family would not be able to support me for another year, and even if I was admitted to university, the tuition fee would not be paid.
Eventually, I decided to give up my studies and work as a farmer in order to earn my father's medical expenses first, and my parents persuaded me, but they were obviously relieved to see that I had made up my mind.
After all, I don't know how many years it will take to graduate from college, and now is the time when this family needs me the most.
Fortunately, my dad's illness has almost stabilized after that, and he only needs to take his medicine on time, and I am also used to this kind of life of sunrise and daily income.
Until one day a year later, Zhang Hongming, the village party secretary, suddenly came to my house in a hurry, and excitedly told me that there was a conscription in the township and asked me to sign up quickly.
It's not that I haven't thought about becoming a soldier, but I've seen many people who have been in the army for three years and have been discharged from the army for three years, and they still continue to farm when they come back. It's better to start farming at home.
Seeing this, Uncle Hongming quickly persuaded me, saying that I have a high level of Chinese, and joining the army is a fragrant glutton, as long as I work hard, I may be able to improve, and I can also try to enter the military school to fulfill my college dream.
I was a little tempted by what Uncle Hongming said, so I hurriedly asked him what to prepare for signing up for the army, and Uncle Hongming was very enthusiastic to tell me the process in detail, and even accompanied me to register.
Uncle Hongming is about the same age as my father, so to speak, he grew up watching me, he has a good reputation in the village, he is a good person who is enthusiastic and kind, and the villagers respect him very much.
With the help of Uncle Hongming, I successfully participated in the physical examination and other processes, and he also helped me with a lot of good things during the final visit.
Everything went very smoothly, I got the enlistment notice, and my heart was full of gratitude to Uncle Hongming.
On the day I left the village, Uncle Hongming also said something to me, he said that he had always been very optimistic about me, and he felt very sorry that I couldn't go to college that year, so he always paid attention to whether there was an opportunity for me.
Wang Yue, you are a good seedling, you will definitely have a future in the future! Uncle Hongming patted me on the shoulder, his eyes full of love and tenderness.
I had a sour nose and nodded vigorously, secretly vowing in my heart that I would get ahead.
After that, I was assigned to the reconnaissance company after leaving the recruit company, and because of my high Chinese, I was appreciated by my superiors and was often assigned some clerical work. Sometimes I would also write a few letters to my comrades-in-arms.
Three years have passed in a flash, and at this critical juncture, I suddenly received a message that the military school began to enroll, and our company has two places, but there are many competitors, plus I have a total of 7 people who want to apply for the military school.
At that time, I hadn't touched a book for a long time, but in order to win that spot, I began to study against time, seizing every free time in training to read, and my comrades in bed said that I was asleep and still had words in my mouth.
In the end, with this hard work, I won the second place in the subsequent assessment. Successfully admitted to the military school.
Before enrolling, I also went back to my hometown, told my parents the good news, and went to meet the village party secretary again.
In three years, Uncle Hongming has not changed much, wearing simple clothes, short and thin, laughing and seeing his teeth, he laughed when he heard me being admitted to the military academy, and said that he would invite me to eat at home.
I couldn't shirk it for a long time, so I had to agree, and I specially wore a brand new dress on the day I came to the door, but I was stunned when I entered the yard.
I saw a girl in the courtyard who was choosing vegetables, she wore a double ponytail, a blue floral jacket and a long black skirt, and a pair of big eyes, and when she heard the movement, she glanced at me, and then showed a bright smile.
Ah, you are Brother Wang Yue, come in and sit, the meal will be ready soon, my dad is going to buy wine."
I felt dizzy, I went into the house and sat down, the girl poured me tea, and went to work again, I couldn't help but sneak a few glances at her, and felt my heart pounding.
Uncle Hongming came back soon, holding two pots of wine in his hand, and greeted me warmly as soon as he entered the door, I responded on my lips, but my mind was the pretty shadow of the girl, I had heard that Uncle Hongming had several daughters before, I don't know which one this is.
When the wine arrived, the meal was soon served, except for me and Uncle Hongming, his daughter-in-law, and the young girl.
Uncle Hongming also introduced me and said that this is his second daughter, named Zhang Qiao, who is one year younger than me, and has been studying in the county before and rarely returns to the village.
Zhang Qiao was cheerful and enthusiastic, and asked me a lot of things in the army curiously, but I only felt that my face was hot, and I forgot how I answered.
It wasn't until I finished eating and said goodbye to Uncle Hongming and returned home that I came back to my senses, I am afraid that I fell in love with Zhang Qiao, which is the so-called love at first sight.
But if I want to study in a military school, I will definitely have to stay home for a few years, and I heard Uncle Hongming say that Zhang Qiao is still a college student, and he is beautiful and beautiful, so he may not like me.
I lay in bed tossing and turning and eventually lost sleep. The next day I went to visit relatives in the village, but I didn't expect to meet Zhang Qiao in the field again, she changed her clothes this time, it was a long-sleeved dress, her hair was tied into a ponytail, and she looked full of youthful vitality.
Zhang Qiao greeted me warmly, I responded shyly, and after chatting with her for a few words, I felt that I didn't know how to put my hands and feet.
When I got home, I couldn't help but tell my parents about it, and they were very surprised and advised me to try it boldly, at least to talk about Uncle Hongming's tone.
I struggled again and again, but I agreed, and went to visit Uncle Hongming with a worried heart, and the two talked about each other, but I didn't have the courage to say what I meant.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Hongming smiled, and suddenly said: "You have a fancy for Zhang Qiao, right?" ”。I was shocked and hurriedly waved my hand, but Uncle Hongming frowned dissatisfiedly.
A young man who has been a soldier, why is he still so spineless! Answer me out loud! ”。
I felt my face flush, but I finally mustered up the courage to shout, "I like her!" ”。
There was laughter from behind, and I looked back suddenly, only to see Zhang Qiao poking his head out of the door to look this way, his cheeks were as red as the morning glow, and his eyes were as tender as water.
In this way, I looked at Zhang Qiao in a daze, and became Uncle Hongming's quasi-son-in-law. Zhang Qiao and I exchanged *** agreed to write letters to each other.
After entering the military academy, Zhang Qiao and I maintained correspondence for several years, although we did not see each other once in a year and a half, our relationship became deeper and deeper in each exchange.
After graduating from the military academy in 1987, I returned to my hometown non-stop, fulfilling what I had promised countless times in my letters - marrying Zhang Qiao.
On the day of the wedding, Uncle Hongming was drunk and happy, he mysteriously took me and quietly told me a secret - he has always admired me and hoped that I could be his son-in-law at a very early age.
I was not surprised by this incident, but I was still a little touched, and called him: "Dad". Uncle Hongming was hmming, but his eyes were red.
After the wedding, Zhang Qiao went to the army with him, during which we gave birth to two sons.
It wasn't until more than 10 years later that I was discharged from the army and moved to my hometown, where I finally had more time to spend with my family and friends.
I treat Uncle Hongming like my own father, and he praises him for having a great son-in-law. Unfortunately, he died early in 2003 at the age of 58.
Now I'm getting older, but every time I think of that past, my heart is touched. How fortunate I am to meet someone like Uncle Hongming!
