Chapter 16 Section VII

The early summer of 1991 seemed to have something to do with the popular sunspot explosion at that time.Air conditioning was still a luxury for many families at the time, let alone Lin Qiuye's home.When He Xiaoyu was reviewing, Lin Qiuye fanned her beside her. She didn't dare to fan her too hard, but fanned her softly and slowly without knowing how tired she was.That kind of gentle wind is not easy to feel, but it will send a little bit of coolness to the daughter. Lin Qiuye watched the bangs on her daughter's forehead being gently fanned by the wind, and what filled her heart was guilt.

What else?When it comes to being a mother, what else is there besides guilt? It's fine if you suffer yourself, why do you want your children to suffer?Every time Lin Qiuye thought of this sentence, she wanted to cry, but she didn't dare.If Lao He is not here, the adults in the family will be left alone, and if they like to cry so much, what will the daughter do? ——I bought an electric fan, which was made in the former Soviet Union. I really don’t know what this old man thinks. There are so many Japanese imports and he insists on buying one made in the Soviet Union. "Soviet things are like tanks. They are solid! They won't break!" That's what Lao He said.

It’s solid, it’s unbreakable—but what about the voice?Is that the sound of a fan?That whole thing is a helicopter!It's like a war at home, but Lao He, a dead man, sleeps soundly. Yes, can he be restless?He likes to hear it!It’s hard for him, a soldier who has been in the government for so many years, spends in the office every day to read documents and write reports, it’s not too much for him to want to hear the sound of helicopters—of course Lin Qiuye knows that Lao He doesn’t know that the Soviet Union made it. The electric fan used for a long time will have this audio-visual effect, which is a bitter joke.She always scolded Lao He like this, so Lao He could only laugh and let it go.

But what about the daughter?The college entrance examination is in summer, can my daughter have no electric fan? After much deliberation, I still dare not buy it.It's not that I don't trust my daughter, it's because I'm afraid of what happens—what if my daughter doesn't do well in the college entrance examination?What should I do if I want to read at my own expense?Gotta let my daughter go to school!Save it just in case, if you suffer a little bit, you can do it harder, what else can you do? Lin Qiuye in 1991 was worried about these issues. It is certain that I am upset. After a busy day in the hospital, I have to worry about my daughter when I come back.Fortunately, my daughter is up-to-date, isn't she?You don't need to be told by your parents, just study hard, and you are very sensible.When I ask my daughter what university she plans to apply for, she always laughs and says, "Mom, you'll know when the time comes!"

She stopped asking.In front of her daughter, sometimes she feels that she doesn't look like a mother anymore.It's because I love my daughter too much, and I have loved her so much since I was a child.Her daughter is high-minded, this is what she can see, she always advises her daughter not to be too high-minded, what if the first choice is not accepted?Is it okay to hit the second batch? The daughter just laughed, stopped talking, and continued to read, still muttering words.She didn't dare to ask more questions, let alone come up with ideas. Watching her daughter concentrate on her studies.

The daughter tied her long hair into a ponytail. It was hot and sweated a lot. So the long neck was exposed. So lovely. Akiba just laughed, secretly laughing. Why even ask?Who does Xiao Yu look like?Can you still be like that old He?That's okay?How will I get married in the future? —Of course it looks like me, of course it’s me when I was young. Look at it from the side, look like it from the front, and look like it from the back. No wonder there were so many boys around me, insisting that I join their respective Red Guard organizations.But I don't know what evil I have committed, and I don't want to join any organization, so I am willing to run around with Lao He.Of course, at that time, Lao He was not as black and rough as he is now. He was really fair and clean back then, and there were not so many swear words.It's okay, but I like to make up some nonsense poems and so on, all of which are memorized from forbidden books.In fact, what kind of banned books are they, just a few old poetry collections!Guo Xiaochuan's "One and Eight" is Lao He's favorite to read and recite to her.

The old three, the last old three, are that simple. Without the opportunity of the college entrance examination, they just went down to repair the earth. The best way out for young people at that time was to join the army.It was a certainty for Lao He to join the army. He was a descendant of a martyr. His father was a soldier with outstanding achievements.Lao He was raised by the country and the army. If he wanted to be a soldier, no one would be unwilling. So Lao He became a soldier. What about yourself?I want to laugh just thinking about it, but it's also because of Lao He. It didn't matter much at the time, but it really worked.

When Lao He arrived in the army, the famous A Army, the old army commander was the life and death comrade-in-arms of Lao He's father - the current deputy commander of the military region - of course he would visit the orphan of the martyr and ask if you have any requests?Old He, the seemingly honest and extremely stupid boy, actually came up with a sentence-"I want my partner to join the army."-Oh my god!When did I become his object? ! ——The old army commander laughed and said, "You are a big kid! Let me see the photo!" Just looking at the photo, the old army commander asked him to write his name on the back of the photo and hand it over to the staff.That silly boy of Lao He actually wanted to come back, so the old army commander patted him on the forehead—"Boy, remember it for me! Today I want a photo of you, and tomorrow I will transform you back into a living person!" But this is for your father's sake! I have fought against your father for half my life, and I will help you with this job! —— But if you don't do it well and embarrass me, I will turn this man into a fly for you again !" Lao He listened in a daze.

What were you doing at that time?Ready to go to the countryside?I can't remember where I went, but everything is ready anyway.The two officers came and went straight to Lin Qiuye, which startled Qiuye's parents, who didn't know how to provoke the dictatorship.In the end, the two officers politely explained their intentions. It turned out that they wanted Xiao Qiuye to join the army-this is a good thing that is hard to find even with a lantern!Parents are blinded, and Qiu Ye is also blinded. So Lin Qiuye also joined the army. When I got off the train in a daze and came to the ravine, I saw a field of recruits training.So many people, I don’t know why they saw Lao He all at once—his nose was red from the cold, and he shouted with a wooden rifle—“Kill!” The new female soldiers laughed, the recruits We are all nervous.

The cadres called He Zhijun over! He Zhijun ran over. This ga-boy who was just seventeen years old didn't wear a hat, held a wooden gun, his head was steaming white, and his nose was still red. Lin Qiuye blushed. The cadre said, "Lin Qiuye comes out!" Lin Qiuye was still covered, so she was pushed out by the sisters. He Zhijun was dumbfounded. Lin Qiuye wanted to just bury herself in a hole on the ice. The cadre looked serious, and gave the photo to Lao He: "Return the photo to you, and you will become a soldier." The male and female soldiers all laughed. Lao He also blushed. At that time, his face was pale and he could still see the redness.

"Let's go back!" "Yes!" Lao He yelled vigorously, hehe turned around and ran away at Qiuye Yile.Then he killed and killed again!Work harder. What about yourself?I can't remember, but I'm confused anyway. ——How did you become the target of this ga boy... Akiba thought about it and smiled. "Mom, what are you laughing at?" Qiu Ye came to her senses, and embarrassedly covered up: "It's nothing? Did I laugh?" Xiao Yu smiled ghostly: "Do you miss Dad?" "That dead ghost, I don't miss him!" Qiu Ye said. Xiaoyu is a clever girl, she just smiles and doesn't speak. "What's wrong?" Qiuye was a little nervous. "Actually," Xiao Yu said with a smile, "women in love are the most beautiful!" Qiu Ye blushed, and then pretended to slap Xiao Yu with a fan—actually, how could she be willing?The mother and daughter have been used to fighting since childhood, like sisters. "What nonsense! How old is love and not love!" Xiao Yu said, "I still don't admit it, I still don't admit it! Then why are you blushing?" "I'm refreshed!" After Qiu Ye insisted, she was also bursting with joy. "To be honest, Dad has been gone for a week, when are you going to see Dad?" Xiao Yu said. "Where can I go? You are going to take the college entrance examination here." "I'm fine, I can take care of myself." Xiao Yu said, "It's not far away, if you don't worry, won't you be back in a day?" Qiu Ye thought about it, and then sighed: "Let's talk about it, he is doing business, so I won't cause trouble for him if I go?" Xiao Yu said, "He dares! I'll deal with him!" Qiu Ye just laughed: "You girl, even your father can take care of you, how will you marry in the future?" Xiao Yu blushed and shouted: "I don't want to marry! I live by myself! I'm a new woman!" Qiu Ye smiled so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist: "Okay! You are a new woman! Mom is an old concept!" Xiaoyu's mouth was stiff, and she was also happy.She wanted to say something to her mother, but after thinking about it, forget it. - Can't say, absolutely can't say.Otherwise, the sky will not fall down?
