Reborn 1980, I amaze the world by picking up scraps

"Have you been promoted? Didn't you say that it is difficult to be promoted to the army? They have made meritorious service?" Grandpa was surprised and happy.

Gu Chao said before about the situation in the army. It is difficult for ordinary soldiers to make meritorious service, and it is even harder to get promoted through meritorious service. It is almost only one in a million.

It's not that grandpa looked down on his own children, he was the one who watched Xiang Dong and Wei Guo grow up.

The child is a good child, but unfortunately he doesn’t have any great abilities. He has only been in the army for two years. How can you say that he has achieved meritorious service if he has made meritorious service?

"Are the children okay?" Grandpa added.

He had vaguely heard someone say that those who could achieve first-class merit or special merit were basically gone.

"Dad, what are you thinking about? Let me tell you, Xiang Dong and Wei Guo sang well and won awards when they participated in the competition. The art troupe gave them credit and promoted them to cadres." The second uncle explained quickly.

Grandpa can open his mouth enough to fit an egg in. Can he still make meritorious deeds by singing?

If I had known earlier, he would not have learned anything about carpentry, and would have gone out singing Xintian with the old sheep herder every day.

Before grandpa could finish speaking, grandma grabbed the microphone and said, "This old man is so verbose that he can't explain clearly for a long time. Please tell me again, when will Xiangdong and Weiguo come to the capital?"

"Just these two days. When they arrive, they will definitely come home to see you. We bought tickets for tomorrow and will go to Beijing to celebrate the New Year this year." The second uncle was beaming.

As soon as he was promoted, he became an officer. Two officers suddenly appeared in the family. They were really proud and proud of their ancestors. The second uncle and second aunt were so happy that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.

After discussing it, the two of them didn't care about saving money. They bought their tickets early and planned to go to the capital to reunite and celebrate the New Year.

"Okay, okay, you all come here."

"What else do you need? I'll bring it with you. Do you want to bring food? Do you want to bring bedding?"

"How old are you now? Are you still bringing food and bedding? You don't need to bring anything. You two can just come over." Grandma said with disgust.

In the past, my family was poor, so we had one bed for each person and two children for two children. If relatives came to visit, it would not be enough.

Today is different from the past. Now everyone has several quilts, one for summer, one for spring and autumn, and one for winter.

In addition to these, there are also several brand new large quilts in the cabinet, specially prepared for relatives and friends to stay overnight.

Everyone was also happy when they heard that Xiangdong and Weiguo were engaged.

Perhaps because of his personality, the second uncle was a bit rigid. Everyone had left the county, but he stayed on.

It's good now. Xiang Dong and Wei Guo have become military officers, and both children can move to the city after changing careers. Everyone no longer has to worry about their second uncle and his wife.

Happy events happened one after another. The next day, Xiang Dong and Wei Guo came to visit.

The food in the army was good, and both children grew taller and became young men.

They were wearing brand new military uniforms, with bright red collar badges and bright eyebrows. As soon as they entered the alley, they attracted a lot of attention.

A neighbor led the way, "So he's a relative of yours? Why are you so energetic? Your family members are all good-looking."

By the way, are they cadres or soldiers? How old are you? There is no one to talk to…”

Grandma frowned, isn't this too far?

"What are you two doing standing around like that? Come on in and sit down. Oops, the kids have grown up a bit, but you two have changed the most." Grandpa clasped his hands behind his back, smiling all over his face.

Maodangoudan, Xiaowen Xiaoyu just grew up, but Xiangdong and Weiguo changed from youth to warriors, which was of course different.

Spring is warm and flowers are blooming. The vegetable seedlings in the yard have sprouted and the cowpeas are climbing up the shelves.

"This is the yard that Sister Nier bought? It's so luxurious." Xiangdong put the model in his hand on the stone table with a look of disbelief.

"It's a lot of money, right?" Weiguo took off his military cap and was about to put it on the table when Goudan took it over.

Goudan put the hat on his head, "Doesn't it look good?"

The hat was a bit big and directly covered Goudan’s eyes.

Everyone laughed.

Grandma led them to the second courtyard, "Everything in the back is opened. You two go around first, and then we can decide whether it is big or not."

There are fruit trees in the backyard, and there are chickens and dogs.

After walking a few steps to the east, a big rooster rushed over and grabbed his shoes.

"Hey, why does this chicken look so familiar?" Wei Guo scratched his head.

"This is Da Hua. I said Da Hua. Why didn't you recognize it? Is this our child?" Grandma muttered.

Dahua seemed to understand, let Xiangdong go, and went to catch bugs in the grass again.

"Oh my god, the big flower is still there, I thought it..."

"It's still here. Chickens live a long time. They can live for more than ten years."

From what grandma means, she wants to raise the big flower until it dies.

By the time Xiang Dong and Wei Guo finished their transfer, they were completely numb. Even if they became officers, they couldn't afford such a house with their salary.

The eldest aunt smiled and comforted them, "You have caught up with the good times. You are in the army and have great ambitions. Isn't it easy to make money?"

This is true. Four or five years ago, no one would have imagined that we would live the good life we ​​have now.

It didn't take a lot of effort, the food was on the table, and everyone sat down to eat and chat.

Xiangdong and Weiguo came with the cultural troupe, saying they had performance duties.

"We are here specifically to deliver tickets. You can all go and watch together then." Weiguo said, taking out the performance tickets that he had prepared a long time ago.

"Oh, so many votes?"

"I heard that we have relatives here, and our comrades gave us their tickets." Wei Guo explained with a smile.

For every performance, the troupe will give a few tickets to the actors, meaning everyone can give them as gifts to relatives and friends.

They came from out of town, and apart from Xiang Dong and Wei Guo, they didn't know anyone else, so they simply gave their tickets to them as a favor.

Grandma was so happy, "Okay, this is a ticket for the cultural troupe. Old man, count how many tickets are left after excluding the ones used by our family?"

"There are five left."

"Just give it to Director Ding and the others."

"Row."

Hearing that Xiang Dong and Wei Guo were coming, Chen Dayong came over again carrying his things and said he was relieved when he saw the two children.

"Military uniforms are used to lift people up. When we were in the village, you were still children, but now you are all handsome young men."

After learning that Chen Dayong was also buying a house in the capital, Xiang Dong and Wei Guo were a little more surprised. When they were in the army, they heard from their comrades that it was difficult to settle in the capital.

Chen Dayong smiled and said, "It is indeed difficult to settle down. I am living here temporarily for medical treatment. I still have my registered permanent residence in my hometown."

"Is this still possible?"

"sure."

"Don't talk about your Uncle Dayong, your grandma and I don't have household registration either." Grandpa said with a smile.

Wei Guo and Xiang Dong looked at each other in confusion, and then asked, "Can I stay without a registered permanent residence? Can my parents come?"
