Special Years

If reality and ideal really come to a fork in the road, if you have to choose one, how do you choose?

​​

This is the problem Sergeant Luo Pingan is facing now.

​​

Luo Pingan ranked third at home.

​​

There is a brother who is six years older than him, and a sister who is four years younger than him.

​​

For Sergeant Luo Pingan, being a soldier is his biggest dream.

​​

Originally, the children of a small mountain village did not have much conception of the army. However, on the way of the Red Army's Long March in this village, the Red Army who passed by here received selfless help from the local villagers, leaving a good story.

​​

But this is all in the past.

​​

If he hadn't met a soldier in his teens, maybe Luo Pingan would have lived a life like other men in the whole village—at most, he went to the county town to read high school, then dropped out of school and returned to the village to farm his own fields. Then go to the next village or the village to say a daughter-in-law, and walk on the road of the hot kang head of the wife and children.

​​

That year, when the school was on summer vacation, Luo Pingan, who was still in the fifth grade of elementary school, saw a soldier for the first time.

​​

Passing through the village is a field army that has been trained. In this small village, every little thing will become news, and it will soon spread from the beginning of the village to the end of the village.

​​

Some people in military uniforms entered the village and were stationed in the village threshing ground and the wasteland at the head of the village. Those people still had guns in their hands.

​​

The temptation of guns to children is fatal.

​​

In the county town where Luo Pingan is located, many villagers still retain the habit of hunting, and almost everyone has a home-made gunpowder gun at home.

​​

But after all, it's just a home-made shotgun, and it can't compare with the real one.

​​

When Luo Ping'an arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw a large group of soldiers busy setting up tents, all carrying 81-1 automatic rifles on their backs.

​​

Under the sun, the jet-black body exudes a seductive light.

​​

This was the first time Luo Pingan saw a real gun.

​​

Just one glance, Luo Pingan fell in love with this real guy madly.

​​

He followed the children in the village and watched every move of the soldiers by the wasteland at the entrance of the village all day.

​​

Seeing this group of children staring at him, a soldier who Luo Ping'an couldn't figure out whether it was an officer or a soldier took off his empty gun, then beckoned Luo Ping'an to come over and let him touch it for a while.

​​

The troop was stationed there for three days. Luo Pingan did nothing for three days. He woke up every day and ran to the stove, spooning a large bowl of sweet potato porridge, and then using that kind of peanut oil leftover cake after oiling, using The salt was fried, smashed into a big bowl, hurried to the village entrance, and squatted for half a day.

​​

During the three days that the soldiers were there, they went to the hillside near the village to conduct several offensive drills, during which they fired a lot of guns and fired a lot of blank bullets.

​​

The sound of gunfire left a deep impression on Luo Pingan's memory.

​​

It turns out that real guns are so crisp and clear, which is so different from the dull shooting sounds of the village adults.

​​

A soldier even gave Luo Ping'an a bullet case, which he kept as a treasure.

​​

Three days later, the soldiers who had been trained left.

​​

However, Luo Pingan's heart was also taken away.

​​

Luo Pingan, who was only eleven years old at the time, had already sworn that he would become a soldier when he grew up.

​​

This ideal has always accompanied Luo Pingan's growth until he graduated from high school in the county seat.

​​

The young people in the village have already graduated from high school with a high level of education. In Luojia Village, where Luo Pingan is located, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there has not been a single college student.

​​

Therefore, young people who graduate from high school have two options—either go out to work and earn money in coastal areas; or stay in the village, farm chickens and sheep, and then marry a daughter-in-law and have a baby.

​​

Luo Pingan chose the third way.

​​

He wants to be a soldier.

​​

My father was very opposed, saying that you went to the army, what should you do at home?

​​

This is very realistic.

​​

After my brother graduated, he went to work along the coast.

​​

My younger sister is in junior high school, so she is not a strong worker, not to mention her good grades. Even in middle school in the county town, she will always be the first in her class.

​​

There is a reason why my father objected.

​​

Luo Pingan knew that his father was not in good health in recent years and coughed constantly. Most of the time, his mother was taking care of the work in the fields.

​​

After I graduated, my father could breathe a sigh of relief, after all, he had a strong workforce. The eldest son went to work, and Luo Pingan, the second child, was of course bound to support the family.

​​

Soldier?

​​

It's been a few years, what's the matter? What are you doing at home?

​​

This is the idea of ​​the most realistic farmers, simple and resigned.

​​

Luo Pingan refused to accept his fate.

​​

Since he was eleven years old, he has decided to join the army.

​​

In a lifetime, maybe just one chance to join the army, how could you just miss it?

​​

The two father and son had a big quarrel over this and broke up unhappily.

​​

Fortunately, my mother felt sorry for her son and did a whole day of ideological work with my father. After three days, my father called him forward with a sullen face. Xia was over. If you want to be a soldier, you can plant it for me for half a year. When your growth is good, your father will promise you to join the army and fulfill your dream, lest you have a black face with me every day at home, I am your father, not your enemy!

​​

After Luo Pingan heard it, he jumped three feet and shouted several times, "Long live Daddy!"

​​

This frightened the old man who had experienced that special era, so he hurriedly reprimanded him, saying "Long live, did you say that?" You are reactionary!

​​

I don't know if it's reactionary or not. Anyway, Luo Ping'an was like a tireless ox for half a year after graduation to the end of the year.

​​

The military affairs also went well.

​​

Mother has a distant relative in the county armed forces department, and he is familiar with conscription.

​​

When asked, he said that there are targets for conscription at the end of the year.

​​

So, Luo Pingan was the first person in the county to sign up that year. He went to the village committee early, found the cadre in charge of the armed forces, and shouted that he wanted to join the army.

​​

In the past, the young people in Luojia Village were not very motivated to serve in the army. In addition, there were only a few households in the village. In recent years, the county's indicators were simply not here, and the tasks were left to other parts of the county.

​​

This time, it was the first time that the village cadres saw that Luojia Village had volunteered to join the army.

​​

Luo Pingan wore his military uniform very smoothly, but just two months before the physical examination, a major incident happened at home.

​​

My father vomited blood and was sent to the hospital where he was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.

​​

Luo Pingan seemed to be hit hard.

​​

This means that his plan to become a soldier is going to fail.

​​

When he leaves, who will look after him at home?

​​

My sister is only in junior high school, should she drop out of school?

​​

My brother is working in a coastal city far away, and he is very busy. He just talked to a girlfriend, and plans to take root in the coastal city and become an urbanite from now on.

​​

Want him back? It seems that the idea is too selfish.

​​

But in the end, Luo Pingan put on his military uniform and came to the army.

​​

The reason is very simple. My mother saw that the second child, Luo Ping'an, was obsessed with the army.

​​

As a rural woman, she does not understand the big truth, nor does she know what an ideal is.

​​

But if my son doesn't become a soldier and stays here, he will never be happy in his life.

​​

She understands this.

​​

Brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers in battle.

​​

Brother Luo Tianxiang quit his job and returned to this small mountain village from a coastal city.

​​

Father went to the funeral, and after the first seven days, Luo Tianxiang patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "Brother, go, go to the army, and find your ideal. At home, brother support.

​​

Luo Ping'an couldn't hold back for a while, and burst into tears on the spot.

​​

Brotherly love, nothing more than that.

​​

More than a month later, Luo Pingan put on his military uniform and left.

​​

Because of the hard-won military uniform, Luo Pingan worked harder than any soldier of the same age.

​​

When he first arrived in the army, he had already stood out from the recruiting period and was a leader among the soldiers of the same year.

​​

The recruit period just ended~www.novelmt.com~ was selected to the reserve team of the special brigade, where he underwent strict training, and finally passed five tests and six generals, and successfully entered the "Red Arrow" brigade.

​​

Even in the "Red Arrow" brigade, when he mentioned Luo Ping'an, the leader of the third battalion and the fourth squad, all the cadres who knew him gave him a thumbs up and said, "Good soldier!"

​​

But no one knows.

​​

The reason why Luo Pingan is so desperate is not only that his own ideal is to be a good soldier, but more importantly, if the soldier is not good, don't say that he is ashamed of his father's spirit in the sky, and he is also sorry to everyone in the family - his brother, mother and younger sister.

​​

If there is no accident, Sergeant Luo Pingan's future military road should be like this - transfer to non-commissioned officer, then stay in the army to continue serving, maybe there is a chance to participate in special forces competitions and other competitions, and he will be awarded for his outstanding military qualities. , then lift dry.

​​

Even if you don't mention Gan, at least you can pass the military addiction, and then like veteran Zhang Zhiang, be a soldier who is not a cadre but is better than a cadre.

​​

However, reality is reality after all.

​​

Some people are born destined to fight their way through the thorns of life.

​​

Luo Pingan's military dream was hit hard by reality.
