defection
Since Sun Jiashu proposed to join the army, the family has obviously become a little uneasy. A war without gunpowder has enveloped the entire family. Sun Jiashu's father, Sun Laifu, formed a support group, and his mother, Gao Meiyun, formed an opposition group. After
After several days of "hand-to-hand combat", there was still no winner. Gao Meiyun seemed a little frustrated. She was the manager of the whole family, and she was a powerful person. She was usually the most decisive in what she said. Now she couldn't control the situation. This was a disservice to her.
Challenged by authority, she must not give in on issues of principle. She made a temporary decision: to hold an emergency family meeting after dinner, and no one was allowed to be absent. It was not that Gao Meiyun was backward in her thinking, she had her own reasons. Of course it was a good thing for her son to join the army.
But there was a knot in her heart that had not been untied for decades. That was because her husband had also been a soldier. He had been a soldier for 6 years and had worked in tunnels for 6 years. Liu Baoshan, who went to the same village as a soldier, was just catching up to fight against the U.S. and aid Korea. He was there.
The troops were only pulled to the Yalu River. The war ended without even seeing what the American devils looked like. Seeing how good his life was, Liu Baoshan became the most lovable person. After demobilization, he stayed in the county town and ate commercial food by himself.
Not to mention, last year, his wife and children were sent to the county to work as temporary workers. Liu Baoshan is a regular worker that everyone envies. His salary is quite high, and he also receives dozens of yuan in subsidies from the Civil Affairs Bureau every month. Her husband is better off.
, she said nothing without success, because she inhaled a lot of dust in her lungs when the army was digging tunnels, and she developed an asthma problem. She would gasp for breath when it was cloudy. According to her, her Sun family had no destiny to be a soldier. Now,
If your son proposes to join the army, do you think she will agree?
After dinner, the family members arrived one after another. They had been arguing for several days, but now they all remained silent. Sun Laifu was busy doing the work in his hands without raising his head, while Gao Meiyun accepted it angrily.
She looks like she has never stopped collecting shoe soles. She does it every day for 365 days a year. The thimble she wears on her middle finger is polished until it shines. The shoes she makes are comfortable and the whole family loves to wear them.
The two elders didn't speak, and the younger one had no right to speak, because anyone's words could be the trigger. The family war was about to break out, and no one wanted to be the one in the spotlight.
Seeing that no one spoke, Gao Meiyun had no choice but to speak first. Everyone was looking at her. After all, she was now in power behind the curtain. Gao Meiyun banged the half-filled shoe sole on the table and said: "Okay, okay, now
In the meeting, Yuxiang is the boss, so Yuxiang should speak first." Yuxiang is Gao Meiyun's eldest daughter-in-law, a loyal follower of Gao Meiyun, and the successor of the future shopkeeper. She should speak on behalf of Gao Meiyun.
"Since Mom asked me to say it, I will say it first." Yuxiang cleared her throat. She would not let go of such an opportunity to please her mother-in-law: "The fourth child has good literary talent and a strong heart. I know that he is not satisfied with the school he was admitted to.
, It’s okay. I’ll review for a year and then take the exam. Isn’t the third child just an example? I missed the college entrance examination by more than 20 points in the first year. After reviewing for a year, didn’t I pass the exam and go to college? What’s so good about being a soldier? It’s just a few dozen bucks a month.
The money is not enough to put your teeth in. I guess I can’t even support my wife. Now in our village, if you go out to do scales, you can earn a few seven or eight a year, don’t you think? The shopkeeper.” She used her elbow.
After touching her husband, she married into the Sun family and gave birth to a son as her first child. That was the treasure of the whole family. She was a great contributor to the whole family and her status immediately rose. Especially her husband's army, who treated her even more.
Yi Baishun, when she was talking, her son Xiaobing coquettishly crawled into her arms, "Be obedient, don't make trouble, listen to your father." Yuxiang scolded her son in a low voice.
"Yes, yes, fourth child, your sister-in-law is right. Now is a commodity society. Everything is about money. You can't make money by being a soldier." Da Jun immediately agreed.
"Fourth child, you have the most backbone. I agree with whatever you do. It doesn't matter if you serve as a soldier for a few years. When you're demobilized, I'll learn to drive with you. I'll make sure that the big girls will chase you after you." This was the voice of the second child, the Red Army, as he thought
Open, although she is not young yet, she just doesn’t plan to get married, but her girlfriend brought one after another to her house, which almost drove Gao Meiyun crazy.
The third brother of the Navy just happened to go home for the weekend, and he happened to catch up today. He stood up and said: "Mom, I think there is nothing wrong with the fourth brother becoming a soldier. You should respect his choice. Based on the level of the fourth brother, he can take the military examination."
There is absolutely no problem with the military academy. In the future, he will definitely be an officer. Not only will you continue to enjoy the blessings, but there will also be a house left for you and your parents to live in."
Before Haijun finished speaking, Gao Meiyun pointed at his nose and cursed: "You are an unfilial son. You started running against your parents before the family was separated. Mom's love for you is in vain. Old man, look at the good son you have raised."
, all of them looked like white-eyed wolves." Gao Meiyun was furious. The situation was just favorable, but he didn't expect that the navy would interfere with it.
Sun Laifu remained silent. He just lowered his head and scraped the scale beams. While several representatives were speaking, a dozen scraped scale beams were neatly placed in front of him. While he was working, he kept saying:
He habitually holds a cigarette while talking, working and smoking. Although his lungs are not good, he is still addicted to cigarettes. He smokes three or four packs of cigarettes that cost 20 cents a pack a day. Sun Laifu is at home and does minor things inappropriately.
At home, only important matters have the right to speak. It is a big deal for a son to be a soldier. The right to use it is expired. He spit out the cigarette butt on the ground and said slowly: "I think it is better to be a soldier. It not only exercises the body, but also grows longer."
I’ve learned a lot.” He usually talks with a cigarette in his mouth, but now he even spit out the cigarette, which shows how seriously he takes this matter.
"Don't end up like you with no future." Before Sun Laifu could finish speaking, Gao Meiyun began to scold him.
"Am I uneducated?" Sun Laifu defended, the veins on his forehead visibly swollen, "If I had gone to junior high school, I would definitely not be sitting here today. I might still be able to marry a wife from the city!"
"Don't be so pretty. If you still marry a city wife despite your virtues, I think in the end, you will run away either because of your anger or because of your smoke."
…
The two of them said nothing to each other, and neither of them gave in to the other. Sun Laifu suddenly coughed violently, his face turned red, and Gao Meiyun beat him on the back distressedly.
The Red Army said: "I knew you would quarrel as soon as we met. Let's just stick to the old policy and vote by show of hands. If you agree, please raise your hands." He raised his hand first.
Immediately afterwards, Haijun also raised his hand. Sun Jiashu looked at Junjun, who also slowly raised his hand. He had just raised his hand halfway when he suddenly saw his wife staring at him fiercely with a pair of almond eyes, and he quickly put his hand on the back of his head and scratched it.
The itch comes.
Seeing the balance of power between the two factions, Sun Jiashu raised his hand and said, "There's still me."
"Come on, you are the party involved and should avoid it." Gao Meiyun learned a lot of legal knowledge from watching TV often.
The three-to-three tie still didn't solve the problem. It seemed that we had to seek the opinion of Xiaobing, the youngest member of the family, Dajun's three-year-old son. Gao Meiyun pulled Xiaobing from Yuxiang's arms.
"Bingbing, come sit here with grandma." She asked Bingbing in a low voice: "Do you agree that my fourth uncle will become a soldier?"
"Agree." Xiao Bing blurted out.
"Shhh, keep your voice down, if you say you don't agree, grandma will give you candy." Gao Meiyun said and took out a handful of candy from his pocket.
"I don't want candy, I want Maomao. Maomao can buy good things." Xiaobing pushed the candy aside.
"Okay, grandma will give you five cents." Gao Meiyun took out five cents from his pocket.
Xiaobing took it and threw it away, "I want the big one, I want the big one." It seemed that he wanted to take advantage of this moment to kill grandma.
"Okay, grandma will give you a bigger one." Gao Meiyun took out all the money, but there was not a single dollar. She reluctantly handed a five-yuan bill to her grandson, "Remember, I will say no when I ask you later.
"She warned worriedly.
"I remember grandma." It seemed that Xiao Bing was already jealous of money.
After finishing the ideological work, Gao Meiyun began to speak: "Now the situation is three to three, let Xiao Bing speak. He is also a member of the family. Whatever he says is what he says. None of us can regret it." She lowered her head and asked Xiao Bing: "
Fourth uncle goes to serve as a soldier, do you agree?"
"It's different..." Xiao Bing looked up and saw Sun Jiashu making the shape of a pistol with his hands. In the morning, his fourth uncle had promised to buy him a pistol. This temptation was really big.
