Meeting When They Were Young, Chapter 413: The True Road to Glory, the Xie brothers and sisters took another overnight train ride from Lanzhou, and then arrived at a small border town, where a military region was left behind.
Considering that the Xie brothers and sisters are not very old, the adults discussed this place as the last stop for filming. Going to the border, the altitude is too high, the terrain is steep, and there are too many dangers along the way.
Don't go.
Xie Ying remained silent. The closer she got to the place where her father fought, the more silent she became.
After arriving in the small town, their father's old comrades-in-arms entertained them warmly. The uncle stroked Xie Ying's head and said, "Xiao Ying has grown so big? Do you still remember me?"
Xie Ying nodded shyly and said, "Hello, Uncle Li."
"Ouch! You have such a good memory! The last time I saw you was probably three years ago! In the blink of an eye, we have been separated for so long again. How are your grandparents?"
Xie Ying replied obediently and quietly: "It's good. She and the others always miss you."
"It's almost time. I'll visit them again during the New Year vacation."
Xie Chong also said hello. He heard from his grandparents that this Uncle Li was their fellow countryman, and he had a good relationship with him before. He is now an officer at the camp level. In the eyes of people coming to the city, he can
It's so promising.
The dinner was very sumptuous. Even though the camera was filming, Xie Ying still picked out the meat without hesitation and put it on her brother's plate very naturally. Xie Chong didn't show any disgust and put it all into his mouth.
Uncle Li asked: "Xiaoying, is the food not to your liking?"
"That's not true..." Xie Ying said honestly: "I can't eat too much oil and water. I can only eat the lighter meat made by my grandma."
"Oh, you are really a gentle and delicate little girl. It seems that your brother is more like your father. This momentum is so powerful!"
Xie Chong took all the photos and tapes with him. Uncle Li was absolutely trustworthy, but Xie Chong had to wait a little longer before telling him about the statue.
Uncle Li took them to a memorial hall, where several of Xie Qingyi's belongings were displayed, including notebooks, pens, towels, and the photo of him holding a gun. His old comrades said that he was a very
A person who can endure hardship and is easy to learn at the same time.
Xie Ying was relatively calm, but Xie Chong felt like he was electrocuted, because as soon as he saw the photo, he thought of the insulted statue.
Xie Ying touched the glass. It seemed that she wanted to touch her father's relics. She looked quiet and sad. The director quickly asked the photographer to capture the camera and asked the question at the right time: "Classmate Xie Ying, when you see these relics, you must
Do you have a lot of ideas?”
Xie Ying shook her head.
The camera crew was greatly surprised - according to convention, she should say - the heroic image of my father emerged in my mind. I am proud of him. I will definitely inherit my father's legacy and become a very good person.
But she didn't think about anything?
Xie Ying murmured: "I'm just thinking about my dad."
…
Everyone is quiet. Let the little girl quietly immerse herself in longing!
Xie Ying misses her father very much. She cannot express her thoughts and has no idea about the passage of time.
Xie Ying’s dream is to be admitted to a military medical university. When asked if this dream was related to her father, she smiled softly and said: “My parents both wore military uniforms, and my ideals must have been influenced by them. However,
"The reason why I want to be a doctor is because of my grandfather. I want to be a doctor who is as respected as my grandfather."
Uncle Li said: "Military Medical University is also considered a military school. Life in a military school is very hard. Can you bear it?"
"I don't know..." Xie Ying said bluntly: "Before I tried it, I didn't have enough confidence. But there is an unwillingness to admit defeat in my character, and I am willing to challenge myself."
These scenes were all recorded by cameras, and adults liked her frankness and frankness.
Uncle Li liked Xie Chong very much. When Xie Chong appeared in his sight with two big suitcases, he thought he saw the eighteen-year-old Xie Qingyi. He didn't know much about the major setbacks Xie Chong suffered.
.He only briefly heard about Xie Chong’s heroic fight against gangsters. This young man’s bravery was exactly the same as his uncle’s.
Before turning off the lights at night, Uncle Li chatted with Xie Chong for a while and said from the bottom of his heart: "You have the aspiration to be a soldier. Don't you consider applying for the military academy? Even a weak girl like your sister wants to take the exam!"
"With the sequelae of intracranial injury, memory loss, and frequent dizziness and headaches, can I be admitted to the military academy in this case?" Xie Chong clenched his fists and said with a wry smile: "The tendons on the back of my hands are broken, and I can't control the shaking of my hands when writing. I can hold it.
Can I hold a gun? The fractured ribs are not fully healed, and I won’t be able to do strenuous exercise for a long time... If I join the army, how will I participate in training?"
"Alas!" Uncle Li felt deeply regretful and kept patting his thigh: "It's all those gangsters who have delayed your bright future. But let's not be in a hurry! Heal your injuries and take the exam again next year. You can't pass.
As a soldier, you can also be a high-level cultural person!"
Xie Chong could no longer cheer up for such encouragement.
At breakfast the next day, the Xie brothers and sisters insisted on going to the border guard post. Since they had come all the way here, they couldn't stop there. They had to go to the place where Xie Qingyi once stationed.
"The altitude there is over 5,000 meters. It's very difficult for us stationed here to go to the mountain, let alone you two children who have never been to the plateau. Moreover, that section of the road is extremely winding, bumpy and extremely bumpy.
It’s difficult to walk. If something unexpected happens on the way..." Uncle Li shook his head and said, "I can’t explain it to your family."
"Uncle, this is my request..." Xie Ying begged with tears in her eyes: "I really want to know how difficult the road my father went through back then... He can't tell me, only I can experience it myself.
, I can understand him better!”
"Uncle, there is no way anything will happen to us." Xie Chong said confidently: "Both of us have experienced a narrow escape from death. It is impossible for fate to tease us like this, and it is impossible for us to die again!"
