Chapter 69: My cousin wants to be a soldier
On New Year's Day in 1956, Tang Xin still spent time in her old house, but because Tang Xin lost her teeth, she tried to talk as little as possible. But Brother Santang and his elder brother were at that naughty age, and they always tried their best to make her talk. They both thought she was cute because she was missing her little front teeth.
Tang Xin was really annoyed and couldn't do anything about it, and she couldn't argue with her two brothers. I could only bury my head in grandma's arms and ignore them.
Grandma felt heartbroken when she saw Tang Xin's depressed look, and gave both brothers a lesson. They didn't know how to care for their sister at all, and actually made fun of her. She deserved a beating.
The cousin showed a rare serious expression, "Since you are so idle and entertaining my sister, I see that you are still in good physical strength. Come on, I will take you out for a run and exercise."
Brother Santang and his elder brother wailed and were dragged out for a run by the cousin. It was still very cold in Beijing in January, so running this early in the morning was quite tiring.
Tang Xin felt a little sorry for her brothers. Just when she was about to plead, she heard her eldest aunt say, "Tangbao, please leave them alone. This boy just needs to exercise more. He can't stay at home all day. He has to suffer more." It’s good to practice.”
Her family had different requirements for boys and girls. Tang Xin thought about it and let them go and be baptized by wind and rain.
After a while, the brothers came back from running. After the exercise, their faces were red and their heads were sweating. My aunt quickly fetched hot water and asked them to wash their faces, and then went to find clothes for them to wear. Put it on, don't catch a cold.
Jiang Wenbai came in behind several brothers. He held a paper bag in his hand and walked towards Tang Xin with a smile.
Tang Xin saw him cover her mouth subconsciously. "Brother Xiaobai." Tang Xin said, covering her mouth.
"Tangbao, it's okay. You don't need to cover your mouth. It's so uncomfortable. I just had my teeth changed not long ago. We are both the same. I won't laugh at you." Jiang Wenbai comforted Tang Xin with a smile.
"Now, this is the dried apricot and rose cake that my father asked someone to bring back. I'll feel good after eating something delicious."
Tang Xin took the bag handed over by Jiang Wenbai, "Thank you, Brother Xiaobai."
"You're welcome. Open it and try it. It's delicious." Jiang Wenbai asked Tang Xin to open it quickly.
Tang Xin looked at the two oil paper bags inside the bag. One was probably dried apricots and the other was rose cake. Tang Xin took the top one and opened it. There were dried apricots inside. The yellow dried apricots were big and full. As soon as the oil paper package was opened, a sweet apricot smell penetrated the tip of her nose. Tang Xin took one and fed it into her grandma's mouth. , grandma happily praised her precious granddaughter for being sensible.
"Okay, sugar baby, let's eat it. Grandma doesn't like eating these. You and Xiaobai have fun here, and grandma is going to see your aunt and mother." After saying this, grandma happily went to the kitchen.
Tang Xin took another one and handed it to Jiang Wenbai. Jiang Wenbai shook his head and said, "There are still some at home. These are specially given to you. You should try them quickly."
Tang Xin didn't give in, nodded, took one and put it in her mouth. Well, the sweet and sour taste immediately spreads in the mouth, the soft and thick apricot meat is very chewy, and the person who eats it is really full of saliva. Tang Xin has always liked the sweet and sour taste, and now she fell in love with this dried apricot.
"Well, it's delicious. I don't know how to make it. There's no sourness at all, and the sweetness is just right. Thank you, Brother Xiaobai. I like it very much." Tang Xin thanked Jiang Wenbai again. This time she didn't mind her teeth. . She pursed her lips and smiled at him.
At this time, several brothers had also changed their clothes and gathered around. Seeing the sister holding delicious food, the third cousin and the elder brother asked curiously what it was. Tang Xin generously gave it to them, but the brothers just Each person took one and tasted it before rejecting it. They would leave the things their sister liked to eat for her.
Tang Xin was really sad and moved. In the previous life, the teenage children were still little treasures in the eyes of their parents, but now, many of them have begun to work to support their families. The situation in their families is already very good, and their brothers are still so sensible.
Tang Xin always wanted to do something for this family and her brothers, but apart from knowing a little about the future direction, she didn't know much else. Hey, for the first time, Tang Xin felt that it was a pity that this rebirth did not offer any time-travel benefits.
In the evening, the family prepared a sumptuous dinner as usual, and the family gathered together to have a good meal. During the dinner, Tang Xin noticed that her cousin hesitated several times, as if he had something to say.
Does the cousin have a girlfriend? Tang Xin thought to herself that after New Year's Day, her cousin would be 18 years old, and she would be 7 years old. Although the current law stipulates that men can only get married when they are 20 years old and women can only get married when they are 18 years old, but in real life, there are many people who get married at the age of 18, but they just do not get a marriage certificate temporarily. Quickly get rid of your irrational thoughts. My cousin is still a child, and the family is very strict, so what are you thinking about?
In fact, not only Tang Xin could tell, but the adults at the table could also see that the cousin was hesitant to speak, but they all felt that he had grown up and had his own ideas. If he really wanted to say something, he would speak sooner or later. Men always have their own ideas, so everyone tacitly agreed not to ask.
When everyone had finished eating and was about to leave the table, the nanny had already come up to help clear the table. The cousin seemed to have finally made up his mind and finally spoke.
"Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, I have something to say." The cousin looked at Mr. Tang.
Finally spoke, Tang Xin thought to herself.
"Okay, then let's go to the living room. The eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law, please stop being busy and come and listen together." Mr. Tang said, taking the lead in walking to the living room.
Auntie Tang and Ma Tang also put down their work and went to the living room together. Tang Xin, her third cousin and her elder brother looked at each other and followed quietly.
"Grandpa, I've been thinking about it for a long time. After graduation, I don't want to go into a factory. I want to be a soldier." Before everyone could sit down, the cousin suddenly said this.
The eldest aunt was about to stand up and object when she heard this, but her uncle Mo Ruofu, who knew his wife, stopped her in time. The eldest aunt glanced at her husband, stopped talking, and sat down again.
"Oh? You sit down first, you don't have to stand. Let's talk carefully. I remember your father told me that you said you didn't want to continue studying in college after graduating from high school. He discussed with your mother about getting you a job in a factory. This didn't work. Did you say that?" Mr. Tang said to his eldest grandson in a rare gentle manner. He usually looked serious in front of his grandson, but he still held his eldest grandson in high regard.
"Well, I know, dad and I talked about it." The cousin lowered his head and organized his words and continued, "I know my grades, and I really don't have the talent to continue studying in college. I have been protecting my family and my country since I was a child. dream, you and dad are both my role models. Our family can be said to be a military family, and I don’t want this inheritance to be cut off in our generation. My brothers are still young, and I don’t know what kind of path they will take in the future. I just want to..." The cousin glanced at the eldest aunt. Then he turned his attention to Mr. Tang.
"I am the eldest in the family. Firstly, I have dreamed of being a soldier since I was a child. Secondly, I want to take over the inheritance of our family's military family and continue to pass on this military spirit in our family." After a while, the cousin felt a lot more relaxed. He took a deep breath and relaxed a lot.
After hearing what he said, the eldest aunt fell silent. She probably didn't expect her son to have such thoughts.
Mr. Tang was very happy, "Okay, that's right. What our soldiers need is this inheritance, and what we want to inherit is this military spirit. They are worthy of being my descendants, Tang Jiezhong." Mr. Tang praised. But then he changed the subject, "But, after all, this is a major event in your life. You still have your parents. Grandpa can't make the decision for you. You have to discuss it with them. If they agree, Grandpa will be very happy." I support you, but if your parents don’t agree, grandpa can’t help you.”
The cousin understood what grandpa meant and immediately said, "Grandpa, I understand. I will discuss it with my parents. I just want to explain my thoughts to my family. I also know that this matter is not what I want to do. .”
"Well, it's good that you think like this. Okay, it's getting late. Just go and do what you have to do. Don't crowd around here. Boss, you two should discuss it carefully, and also have a good chat with your children. After all, he is the first child in our family, and he is a role model for the younger brothers and sisters in the future. You have to handle it well, you know?" Mr. Tang explained.
"I know, Dad, don't worry, we will definitely consider it carefully." The uncle nodded in agreement.
"Well, there's no rush. There's still more than half a year left. Take your time. Speak carefully." Old Mrs. Tang patted Auntie's hand and explained.
"I know, Mom." The eldest aunt nodded in agreement.
It is estimated that the eldest uncle and eldest aunt will not have a good rest this night, but this is not a problem that Tang Xin should worry about. She went to bed early because she also realized a problem. She will start elementary school in the second half of this year.
