Chapter 122: Defending the Family and the Country
Chapter 122: Defend the country
"Is that so? But now you are very good. My aunt praised you with praise. And you seem to be particularly suitable for this profession. The first person I saw as young as you became a lieutenant!"
Seeing a trace of loss flashing through my eyes, Liang Jingwen seemed to know very sensitively what I remembered. As soon as she turned her voice, she immediately picked up the topic I was interested in. She asked with a smile:
"I heard that a lieutenant can be a company commander in the army. So are there more than a hundred people under your hands?"
"Well, at the grassroots combat troops, the lieutenant can serve as the main company. An infantry company has more than 100 soldiers. But...haha, I disappoint you. I am a lieutenant, but I don't have more than 100 people under my command!"
The lieutenant of the infantry unit can indeed have 100 soldiers. It seems that she is not unfamiliar with the organization of the troops. I think there must be a contribution from my mother here. It is conceivable that she has gone to Liang Jingwen's house to say a lot of good things, so this girl must have learned a little about the affairs of the troops.
Alas! If there is a mother who doesn’t say that her child is good, but when she thinks that she is worried, my mind will be even worse.
"I heard... I heard that it is hard for military service and I often cannot go home. It is rare to have a vacation once a year. So are you still happy in the army?"
Although I was smiling when I saw me saying the above words, a trace of worry flashed in my eyes. The girl with a delicate heart seemed to feel something. She gently disturbed her teacup, as if there was a hint of hustle in her heart. She was silent for a while and asked me in a low voice.
"It's okay now, but I wasn't used to it at that time. But after a long time, I slowly realized that wearing this military uniform means that you are different from other people, so you must give."
The same problem comes again. In fact, there is a big contradiction here. You must know that as a soldier, you cannot gather with your family all year round. People say that we should defend our country, but we actually have to protect our country before we can have a family.
The couple's life in the two places is separated. Even if I am just a young man in his early twenties who has not yet learned the world, I understand that it is definitely not good. But my eyes looked out the window. At this time, the afterglow of the sunset is like blood, but just like the bright red on our military flag. A trace of determination flashed in my eyes, and then turned around, looked at the extremely beautiful and lovely face in front of me and said proudly:
"But I think what I do is of great significance. Whenever I see the people I help rejuvenate, maybe my work can make the people more stable in the country, I feel that I am worthwhile in my life, and I will feel happy from my heart."
My words were shocked to Liang Jingwen in front of me, because I knew that when I was saying the above words, I remembered the gangs we had eliminated in my mind, which solved the long-term public security and life problems of a city people. In the battle of Devil Island, the woman who was crying and rescued by us returned to the world again.
Maybe what we do is not aware of, but we have allowed the people to see hope and a better future for the country. Such things are enough for me to glorify for my life, so the firmness in my eyes and the passion that spreads will definitely not have any adulterating elements. I even said happily:
"Because I think that when a person comes to the world in his life, you have to do something. Even before I joined the army, I didn't know what my future and goals were, but now I have found the direction. I think as a revolutionary soldier made in China, I can give me the opportunity to do something meaningful for the motherland and the people, help the whole society, and help all compatriots, and then I feel extremely honored."
When I said these words, I felt very calm.
Although these words seem a bit rustic and hypocritical, these are all my real thoughts now. You can say that I am young or that I don’t understand the hardships of the world; you can say that I am a little kid because you don’t know how important it is to be together with your wife and children.
However, as long as I think of my comrades-in-arms, our three million soldiers and brothers, and the important mission I am shouldering now, I feel a burst of pride that comes from my heart, and I also feel that only in this way can I express my sense of mind.
"You must be a very outstanding soldier!"
When I saw the firmness and heat in my eyes, it was as if even if there was wind and snow, the sky was shaking, and the earth could not change my mind's thoughts, I saw Liang Jingwen for the first time and was finally moved. She seemed to be amazed at the end, and then said with vague admiration:
"I understand a little now, why did you become a lieutenant at a young age? I believe you have all obtained it with your military achievements."
"Haha, this is just some of my feelings when I was performing missions in the army, and there is no other factor."
I shook my head, but couldn't help but admire the girl's Lan Xinhuizhi. She really said that the first second-class merit is not merciless. If Jing Xuewei doesn't show mercy, I will even lose my life. The second third-class merit is also obtained because of her bravery in fighting on the Demon Island. It is really a military merit.
"Just like you graduated from a normal school and then came out to teach, you must have felt that you had found the goal you were interested in, so you persisted."
I skipped what he said about the medal he received with his military achievements, and then talked about her problem. It seemed that I had found that it had been so long, and he was just asking me, and I hadn't asked her about her situation yet. Isn't I at a disadvantage?
"Actually, I'm not particularly willing to be a teacher, but this is mainly the opinion of my parents!"
I could clearly see a hint of melancholy in Liang Jingwen's eyes, and then said helplessly: "Don't you think that being a teacher, with stable work and a life of food and clothing?"
"Well, people are actually helpless for life, but..."
Judging from her appearance, she was a little dissatisfied with the teacher’s job, but this was not something I could worry about, who had not yet established any relationship with her, but I still said with a smile:
"However, it is still very fulfilling to see those children growing up slowly with their own help. In fact, I remember that when I was studying, I admired the teachers most in elementary and junior high schools. However, I think the key is whether I like it or not!"
"Actually, I like children very much, but I just don't like the feeling of having a life of endless life!"
Shaking his head, Liang Jingwen smiled implicitly and said, "However, if you think carefully about what your parents said, I still think it makes sense. At least it can give me a safe foothold in society."
"Yes, although my parents may not be all right, will they definitely not harm me?"
After hearing her words, I remembered three years ago when I had a slightly rebellious personality. A smile of understanding flashed across the corner of my mouth and said, "At least, now it seems that my parents' decision to ask me to join the army was quite correct. Only in the army did I finally find my position."
"Then will you stay in the army later? Is there any..."
After hearing my words, Liang Jingwen seemed to agree with it. She seemed to look at me deeply. When I noticed, she lowered her head like a shock, and then asked hesitantly with a slightly red face:
"Did you think of finding an opportunity to come back to the place early in the future? After all, the life of the army is too lonely!"
Here comes the same topic. It seems that even though she can get the benefit of entering that key middle school with me, she has to face the reality. You must know that letting a woman guard her husband thousands of miles away is really cruel enough.
I thought about it, sighed deeply, and finally said firmly: "When I think about it, I should just listen to the arrangements and assignments of the troops. After all, I am a revolutionary soldier, and obeying orders is my job."
"That……"
A hint of surprise flashed in Liang Jingwen's watery eyes. In fact, I understand her vision. As far as I know, many officers in the army are thinking about returning to local areas for development, especially those with urban household registration. They want to come back early, but my words have completely different answers from many people, but there is no intention of hesitation, which is enough to surprise her.
"Did you think about what to do if your girlfriend or wife in the future? She is alone at home, would you think this is not good?"
Liang Jingwen raised her head bravely, and I seemed to see a heart-warming look in her eyes. I almost said, "You can do whatever you say."
But this was just a thought that flashed through my mind. I finally shook my head and said with a wry smile:
"I remember there was a song called the Fifteenth Moon. In fact, the words there were very good. Before I found my other half, I had to be a revolutionary soldier, but I would never hide it from her. Perhaps it was well said in the song that I also increased half of the merits on the military medal. This is the only explanation I can give to her!"
"I feel... I feel that you have a deep affection for the army. I can feel in my conversation with you that you are a real soldier. Your behavior and your behavior are full of the mighty and masculine military masculinity. Can you tell me why you are willing to give up your family happiness for this profession?"
Sometimes I think the girl opposite me looks like a philosopher. Her eyes are peaceful and full of wisdom, and I ask questions that sometimes make me confused.
"Maybe I didn't say it very well, nor did I say it very clearly, but I remember that our army had a saying called 'Protect the family and the country'. I understand it this way. Maybe I should have a happy family, but this happy family is based on what..."
A silence that makes people feel as if they can hear people's heartbeats. I looked at Liang Jingwen in front of me, looking at this girl who was quite satisfied with to be honest, and was reluctant to speak for a long time. It seemed that I had thought for a long time, and finally I smiled and said softly:
"I think this kind of happiness must be based on the first place of having a safe, stable and powerful country. For this huge goal, someone must pay. I can only say that I am one of them!"
The bright eyes in front of me were still calm and seemed to be watery, and it seemed to be touched. But I was feeling a little emotional at this moment. Her words made me feel a lot, so I said more:
"To be honest, I didn't think too much about such questions because I was not old. But when you asked these words, I remembered some of the tasks I performed. I suddenly felt that my work was extremely sacred and the responsibility was very important. I think my efforts could allow people and compatriots to live a happy life, and my efforts could make the glory of the Republic more exciting. I felt a strong sense of responsibility and pride."
After saying the above, I seemed to feel that this way can I correctly express what I was thinking. I finally looked at Liang Jingwen, who seemed a little relieved and said:
"I don't know if you can understand this?"
"Of course...I understand..."
An extremely complicated emotion flashed in Liang Jingwen's eyes, and I even felt a kind of confusion in her heart. At this moment, her eyes flashed and saw the jasmine tea in her hand and asked in a daze:
