Looking at the remorseful Gu Zheng in front of him, Li Zheng saw no signs of lying.
After getting to know her better, I discovered that Gu Zheng's family is quite special.
My father also served in the military. Since he was from a remote rural area, he had no plans at that time, so he went home to farm.
And Lao Gu's luck is not very good.
He didn't marry until he was thirty, and the following year he gave birth to Gu Zheng, who became his father.
Like most veterans in rural areas, Lao Gu has never left the countryside to dig food in the fields.
At the age of thirty-eight, when Gu Zheng first entered elementary school, Lao Gu's wife became seriously ill and left after spending all of Lao Gu's savings.
From then on, Gu Zheng became Lao Gu's last hope in the world.
Gu Zheng studied very hard and got good grades. Unfortunately, he failed in the college entrance examination and was not admitted to the school he wanted. He studied in second grade. His subsequent experience was similar to that of Li Zheng. There was a military conscription in the school. Xiao Gu asked Lao Gu, Dad, I
Would you like to join the army?
Lao Gu only gave one word - go!
So Xiaogu put on the military uniform and entered his own green years.
When Xiao Gu joined the army, Wang Liansheng was his recruit company commander, and when he got out of the company, he was also his company commander.
Xiao Gu trained very hard in the recruit company and lived a very simple life. He calculated the allowance on his own fingers and sent all the savings back home to Lao Gu.
In the first year, Xiao Gu stood out in the company and won two first places in the professional subjects of the brigade's annual assessment.
Wang Liansheng saw all this.
The next year, Xiao Gu wanted to take the military academy entrance examination, but something happened at home.
One day, Lao Gu came home after working in the fields. After taking a hot bath, he suddenly felt light-headed and fell to the ground. If it hadn't been for a neighbor who happened to come to borrow something from him, his life would probably have been left to that person.
It's night.
Lao Gu was sent to the hospital with a cerebral hemorrhage.
This sudden incident disrupted Xiaogu's plan to enter the military academy.
The dilemma of loyalty and filial piety.
When I was admitted to the military academy, my father had no one to take care of me.
If you don’t take the military academy exam, your ideals will be in vain.
He found Wang Liansheng and told him that he would not take the military academy exam and would give his quota to other comrades.
Wang Liansheng became angry when he heard this, and he found out the reason after asking.
In the end, Wang Liansheng paid for it himself and called on the entire company to donate. This incident finally alarmed the brigade, and the entire brigade donated money. Not only that, the political office of the brigade also sent an officer to Xiaogu's house to contact the local government to do a good job.
Settled.
Lao Gu recovered well from a cerebral hemorrhage with the care of all parties. Although he is not as agile as before, he may have had a tough life as a soldier and survived, and there are no problems with his movements.
Xiao Gu burst into tears with gratitude, gritted his teeth and vowed to be admitted to a military academy to repay the company commander.
As a result, I passed the exam. After that, following the assignment principle of going back and forth where I wanted to go, I returned to the 433rd Brigade and served as the third platoon leader in the support company of the 1st Battalion.
Perhaps for this reason, perhaps Wang Liansheng was worried that if this matter got too big, Gu Zheng would not be able to stay in the 433 brigade and would be punished or transferred early. If Lao Gu found out about this, he would have to burst a blood vessel again.
Therefore, Battalion Commander Wang found Gu Zheng and told him in a commanding tone not to get involved in this matter, and that he would take care of everything.
This matter is what it is. Li Zheng understood it and couldn't think of any appropriate way to deal with it for the time being. He decided to hang up the matter for a while and put it aside until he figured it out.
Otherwise, if it is not handled properly, this matter may destroy two cadres.
"You go back first, I will handle this matter."
This is Li Zheng’s reply to Platoon Leader Xiao Gu.
Xiaogu was worried in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask, so he walked out slowly, saluted again, and then said again: "Chief of Staff, the battalion commander really doesn't know anything."
have to.
This soldier is considered to be affectionate and righteous.
Even though Li Zheng is a cold-blooded devil on the battlefield, he actually has a soft side in his heart.
So he waved his hands and said, "Go back and work hard, don't think too much."
After Xiao Gu left, Li Zheng was sitting on the sofa and thought about turning off the lights, but he didn't come up with a good idea.
This is not a war. A war is easy to handle, but this matter is not.
The three-day work period passed quickly, and it happened to be Sunday. Shao Xiaoqian called and asked him to go home this week no matter how busy he was. She said that there was a Father's Day event in her daughter Qianqian's kindergarten, and he was the father.
The protagonist must participate no matter what.
Shao Xiaoqian said that her daughter was also making a fuss, saying that she would not go to the kindergarten to participate in activities if she could not see her father.
Li Zheng hasn't been home for two weeks. A father can't just control the child and not discipline him. Isn't that the same as donating sperm?
Besides, I hadn't seen her for a long time and I really missed my wife, so I asked for leave from the brigade commander Wan Xiangdong and drove back home.
After a three-hour drive, it was six o'clock in the evening when we arrived home. As soon as we parked in front of the small building, Li Zheng saw his father-in-law's special car parked at the gate.
He didn't expect that his father-in-law Shao Xianyong would also come back.
After Shao Xianyong was promoted, the Shao family faced a problem: whether the family should move to the capital or stay in the compound in the war zone.
After much thought, Li Yueqin finally chose not to be transferred with Shao Xianyong. After all, he had worked in the hospital in the G theater for half his life and was about to retire. There was really no need to be transferred back and forth.
If you really want to accompany the old man, then wait until you retire.
As for Li Zheng and Shao Xiaoqian, they are even less interested in the increase.
Both of them have their favorite positions in the G theater. If they leave rashly and transfer to other places, not only the process of re-adaptation, but also the process of rebuilding their own circle of friends is troublesome.
"Dad is back?"
Li Zheng entered the door and glanced at the living room, but did not see Shao Xianyong.
Li Yueqin came out of the kitchen, pointed upstairs and said, "The old man is playing with Sissy upstairs."
"Mom, let me help."
Li Zheng took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and wanted to go to the kitchen to help.
Li Yueqin pushed him away and said, "It's hard to come back once. If you don't go up and accompany Sissy, why are you tinkering in the kitchen?"
Li Zheng said: "It's okay, I'll give you a shot."
Li Yueqin said: "Okay, you don't have to work hard. There is an aunt to help. You go and accompany the child."
Li Zheng could only give up and asked Li Yueqin: "Mom, where is Xiaoqian?"
"She is busier than me, and she hasn't come back yet." Li Yueqin said as she turned back to the kitchen.
Not long after, complaints came from the kitchen: "It doesn't seem like a good thing that this whole family is a soldier. There are only a few days throughout the year when we can have a meal together at home."
Just as he was talking, Shao Xianyong came down from upstairs, and his granddaughter Xixi sat on his neck, smiling like a flower.
"Grandpa, hurry up! Drive! Drive!"
When Li Zheng saw it, his face immediately became fierce: "Sissi, come down! Grandpa is old!"
The baby girl disagreed: "Grandpa let me ride a big horse!"
Li Zheng saw that she was speaking righteously and couldn't help criticizing: "Grandpa is an elder! Come down!"
Seeing that Li Zheng was angry, Xixi immediately twisted her mouth, wrinkled her face, and started to howl.
Shao Xianyong said to Li Zheng: "This is not your brigade, so don't give orders in a pretentious manner! Can't you just speak politely?"
Li Zheng glanced at his baby daughter and found that she didn't have a single tear. He knew that she was pretending to cry.
For today's children, whoever treats her well, who dotes on her, and whoever allows her to be her backer, is really clear in her heart.
This is a typical example of a fox pretending to be a tiger.
In front of Shao Xianyong, Li Zheng had trouble getting angry.
Sissi is like this. She is very good when she is at home. She is a well-behaved person who does whatever she is told and does not cry or make trouble.
As soon as she arrived at her grandparents' house, she immediately changed her appearance. She would cry at every turn. When she cried, either grandpa would come out to help or grandma would come to protect the calf. Anyway, there was nothing she could do to her.
Li Zheng suddenly discovered that no matter what kind of family it is, raising children across generations will always inevitably lead to some doting.
Even a person like Shao Xianyong, who has three stars and is not angry outside but has an aura when he walks around with his own aura, will turn into a kind old grandpa when he comes home and faces his little sweet grandson.
"Oh... Dad, you can't indulge her like this... What will happen when she grows up?" Li Zheng argued weakly.
Shao Xianyong carried Qianqian on his back and walked around the living room a few times. While walking around, he said to Li Zheng, "You haven't grown up yet."
Li Zheng had no choice but to sit on the sofa and sulk. He accidentally glanced at Li Qianqian again and found that she was winking at him, as if her plot had succeeded.
Li Zheng simply stopped reading, picked up the newspaper and pretended not to see it.
Not long after, Shao Xiaoqian came back.
When he entered the door and saw Sissi riding on her father's neck, her face tensed up and she said, "Li Sissi, get off here!"
I don’t know why, but Li Qianqian was just afraid of Shao Xiaoqian. Seeing her mother showing off her power, she immediately told her grandfather that she wanted to go to the ground.
Shao Xianyong had nothing to do with his daughter. He frowned and said, "I asked her to ride a big horse. Why are you so angry?"
Shao Xiaoqian said: "Dad, this is my daughter, I have to take care of her."
Shao Xianyong said: "Okay, then you take care of your daughter, and I take care of my daughter. You are my daughter, and I ask you not to be so loud!"
Shao Xiaoqian was a little helpless and said, "Dad, just pamper her. By then it will be lawless!"
Shao Xianyong said: "I didn't spoil you when you were a child? Aren't you no longer lawless when you grow up?"
Shao Xiaoqian was speechless, turned to Li Zheng and said: "As a father, you just watch your daughter suffer like this? My father has a bad cervical spine!"
Li Zheng was wronged and wanted to explain, but then he felt that there was no use in explaining, so he could only pretend to read the newspaper again.
Shao Xianyong said: "Okay, okay, you take Qianqian to play, and I will talk to Li Zheng."
Shao Xiaoqian heard this and said to Qian Qian: "Let's go, mom will take you to feed the fish."
There is a lotus pond in the compound of the war zone. There are koi carps in it. People often feed them. As long as you throw something, the fish will swarm in and huddle together to grab food. The scene is really beautiful.
Sissi said: "Dad, mommy wants to take me to feed the fish."
Li Zheng, who was reading the newspaper, burst out laughing.
Shao Xianyong couldn't help but laugh.
Li Zheng quickly explained to his daughter: "Your mother meant to take you to the lotus pond to get something to feed the fish, not to feed you to the fish."
"oh!"
Sissi looked like she had suddenly realized something, and she looked endearing and interesting.
After the mother and daughter left, Li Zheng took his father-in-law's tea cup and saw that there were tea leaves and hot water in it. It had obviously just been brewed for a short time, so he added some water as a token of his.
Shao Xianyong asked: "Are you still used to it after reaching 433?"
Li Zheng said: "It's okay. Every new position has new challenges and can train people."
Shao Xianyong picked up the teacup, blew on it, took a small sip, and found that the taste was not completely gone, so he put down the teacup again and said: "Haste makes waste, don't be hasty, just like making tea, the time must be just right. Is it early?"
The taste is overpowering and too strong, so moderate is best.”
After a pause, he then said: "The confrontation before 433 was a disastrous defeat. No, it should be said that the main brigades of Army Group A were all disastrous. I guess the morale is a little low now. You just took office, and there will be Hongshan next year."
In this series of confrontations, are you trying to hold back your energy to achieve something?"
"It's natural to come up with results." Li Zheng said, "But just like what you said, dad, you can't rush. You have to make a plan and then implement it strictly without being affected by external factors."
Shao Xianyong smiled and nodded: "Okay, as a senior commander, you need to have a strategic focus. Otherwise, any external factors will make you anxious or doubtful, and you will not be able to do anything well. In fact, it is not just you, this matter is right
The solemn leadership of your group army is also a test. It has only been a year since he took office, and he lost completely in the first confrontation exercise, which is also a test of his determination."
"My old chief should be fine." Li Zheng said: "I didn't see him getting angry because of this matter. He just made some demands."
Shao Xianyong said: "When you first arrived at 433, be careful to unite with other colleagues in the team. Now you are no longer a soldier. No matter how powerful one person is, he cannot lead a brigade. Only by uniting other partners can we get twice the result with half the effort. If you encounter difficulties
, you can call me and I can give you the details."
Li Zheng suddenly remembered the incident of cheating in target practice in the previous battalion. It had been more than three days and he had no idea how to deal with it.
You might as well take the opportunity to ask your father-in-law. He is a veteran soldier. His experience and wisdom in leading troops are definitely higher than mine by many levels. It is absolutely right to ask for advice.
"Dad, I really want to ask you something."
"What's up?"
"Is such that……"
Li Zheng explained the incident in the First Battalion in detail, and focused on the issue of Wang Liansheng and Gu Zheng competing to take responsibility.
"To be honest, I haven't made up my mind right now whether to take this matter seriously or just leave it alone."
