Chapter 28 Liu Dong's turning point

The change in Liu Dong's fate was due to the help of Tian Liao and Shen's family. Ever since Yang Peipei learned that Liu Dong was Tamura's elder brother, she began to pay attention to Liu Dong.At first, she couldn't tell the purpose of this concern, as if she cared about Liu Dong because she cared about Tamura. She knew from Tamura that Liu Dong often published articles in military newspapers, so she read each issue very carefully.When she found Liu Dong's article, she would cut it out and paste it in a notebook. After a long time, she cut and pasted a very thick copy.

Now, Yang Peipei seems to have cleared her mind. She has been paying attention to Liu Dong because she wanted to see his progress.After all, Liu Dong is Tamura's real brother, and the two brothers will recognize each other sooner or later. From an emotional point of view, she doesn't want Liu Dong to behave too badly, otherwise, Tamura will feel uncomfortable. After sorting out her thoughts, she returned home that day, and she showed Tian Liaochen the scrapbook.Tian Liaoshen looked at Liu Dong's name next to those articles, and looked at Yang Peipei puzzled.After they knew that Liu Dong was Tian Cun's brother, Liu Dong's name was often on their lips.As soon as they mentioned Tian Cun, they would think of Liu Dong.

Yang Peipei pointed to Liu Dong's name and said: As expected of the two brothers, both are so excellent. Tian Liaoshen still didn't understand, he glanced at the scrapbook, then at Yang Peipei. Yang Peipei said straightforwardly: We should help Liu Dong, their family is too difficult. Tian Liaoshen understood, he walked around the living room a few times with his hands behind his back.Every time he encounters something, he always likes to walk around like this.From his heart, he likes the kind of rural soldiers who are self-improving. He came out of the countryside. Until now, his roots are still in the countryside, and his parents are still buried in the graveyard of his hometown.Maybe it's because of his age, he's starting to feel nostalgic, even when he dreams at night, what he dreams of is all about his childhood.After waking up from the dream, he would often be in a daze. When he touched his face, it turned out to be wet. Only then did he realize that he was crying in the dream.

Yang Peipei's words made him wake up, helping Liu Dong is tantamount to helping Tian Cun.More than 20 years ago, when Yang Peipei sent Wang Guixiang home, she went into Liu Dong's house, and she told him everything about their house.Liu Erga and Wang Guixiang are both honest and responsible peasants, and it is really not easy for them.Back then, they secretly sent things and money to Wang Guixiang's family time and time again. Wasn't it because the family was too difficult?Of course, the most important thing is that it is also Tamura's home. Tamura is their adopted son, but emotionally speaking, he is closer than his own son.If it wasn't for Liu Dong's appearance, they would have almost forgotten Tian Cun's true identity.Tian Liaoshen stopped and said to Yang Peipei: We have to take care of Liu Dong's affairs, not only but also well.

Yang Peipei nodded meaningfully at Tian Liaoshen. Soon, Tian Liaoshen went on a business trip to the Thirteenth Division. After dinner that day, Liu Dong was taking a walk in the yard, when Tian Cun hurried over, grabbed him and left. Liu Dong asked inexplicably: Platoon leader, what happened? Tamura didn't say much, just said: I will take you to meet someone, and you will know when you arrive. When he arrived at the teacher's guest house and walked into Tian Liaochen's room, Liu Dong realized who he was going to meet. He was a little nervous and at a loss, and hurriedly saluted Tian Liaochen: Hello, sir.

It was the first time for Tian Liaoshen to look at Liu Dong so closely. From the appearance, the two children were not alike, but if you looked closely, they still had some similarities in their eyebrows, eyes and demeanor.Tian Liao, who was awake, pointed to Liu Dong: Sit down, sit down. Tian Cun pushed Liu Dong on the sofa and sat down. Liu Dong didn't know why Tian Liaochen wanted to see him.He donated blood for Tamura, and Yang Peipei had already seen him, and the party branch of the company gave him a commendation for this, and this matter has passed. Tian Liao Shen did not mention the blood donation, but took out the scrapbook: These are all articles written by you. It is not easy for a soldier to insist on news writing in his spare time.

Liu Dong took a look at the scrapbook, and he was surprised, the notebook was neatly pasted with his articles.He looked at Tian Liaochen strangely, wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it. Tian Liaochen took the scrapbook back to his lap, patted it and said: Yes, you are Tamura's comrade-in-arms, he often mentions you, and you are the most among the comrades-in-arms he mentioned in his letter. He turned to look at Tamura, and Tamura nodded to him.No matter whether he was in the recruit company or the police company, every time Tiancun reported to his parents about his work, he would mention Liu Dong. Subconsciously, he had already regarded Liu Dong as an opponent.If it hadn't been for that bombing accident, perhaps Liu Dong's progress would have been ahead of him.

Finally, Tian Liaoshen stood up: You are Tian Cun's comrade-in-arms, I just want to get to know each other, I hope you will encourage each other and make progress together. After saluting Tian Liaoshen, he said politely: "Sir, goodbye." Tian Liaochen's expression was always smiling.Liu Dong recalled Tian Liao's eyes and expression, and felt kindness and warmth in his heart. Tian Cun walked beside Liu Dong and said: Can you tell, my dad likes you very much. Liu Dong smiled, he subconsciously thought of that blood donation.There was no reason why the chief received him and collected his articles. Apart from the blood donation, he couldn't find a second reason.

At this moment, Liu Dong didn't know that his fate was quietly changing. Tian Liaoshen was at the party committee meeting to inspect the work of the 13th Division. After commenting on the main work, he suddenly took out the scrapbook and pushed it to the party committee members of the 13th Division: Have you seen this? Mr. Liu first took it to read, and then passed it to the political commissar and the director of the political department.Master Liu looked at Tian Liao and said: "I know a little about this soldier. He is a soldier of the Police Communication Company and a young scholar of our division."Propaganda Chief Wei has mentioned him many times, and we are preparing to focus on training him.

Tian Liaoshen took the words of Commander Liu: It is not easy for a rural soldier to make progress like this. We need such talents in building the army in the new era. The members of the party committee of the 13th Division fell into deep thought after listening to Deputy Commander Tian's words.Deputy Commander Tian discussed with everyone the training of a soldier at today's party committee, and this soldier belonged to their 13th Division. This made everyone present try to figure out the intention of Deputy Commander Tian.Suddenly, everyone remembered the matter of Tamura's blood transfusion. The blood was donated by Liu Dong, and the article reporting on Tamura's deeds was also written by Liu Dong.Thinking of this, they finally found the reason why Deputy Commander Tian cared about Liu Dong.

In the summer of that year, the party committee of the Thirteenth Division unanimously decided that because of Liu Dong's outstanding news reporting work, he planned to recommend him to the cadre teaching team of the military region to study for half a year.After the report was drafted, it was reported to the army, and then to the military region, and soon the military region received a reply.The military cadre teaching team agreed to receive Liu Dong for training. When Liu Dong got the admission notice, he couldn't believe his eyes. He read the notice up and down several times.When he was convinced that what happened in front of him was not a dream, he ran out of the dormitory and the army barracks, hugged a poplar tree by the road, and burst into tears. This admission notice means that he will be a cadre in half a year.His mother, brother, sister, and of course his own wish finally came true.This is his dream wish.From the day he joined the army, he knew that his success was not for himself, but for his family's dreams. Before Liu Dong reported to the teaching team of the military region, the company commander gave him two days off and asked him to go home.This is Liu Dong's first return home after serving in the army. Walking into the village entrance, he suddenly saw his sister.The elder sister had just returned from digging medicine in the mountains with a basket on her back. The unexpected encounter between the siblings stunned both of them.Liu Dong stood there, his eyes fixed on Liu Cao, he wanted to feel whether his sister's life was happy at the first moment.Before he could find the answer from his sister's face, Liu Cao called out with great sorrow and joy: "Brother  younger brother-- Then, my sister's tears flowed down. Seeing his sister's tears, he understood everything, and his heart sank. When they reached the gate of their courtyard, Liu Shu was walking back with a load of water when he saw Liu Dong standing at the gate.Liu Shu stood there stunned, and with a "bang", the bucket fell to the ground.Brother walked over quickly, stopped in front of Liu Dong, and looked him up and down carefully. The elder brother whom I hadn't seen for two years, who was less than thirty years old, already showed vicissitudes on his face.Liu Dong yelled hotly: Brother-- Liu Shu's tears were already in his eyes, and the two brothers stared for a long time with two pairs of tearful eyes. When the mother heard the movement, she came out of the house. Seeing the scene in front of her, she anxiously grabbed her son's hand and looked at Liu Dong without blinking.Looking at Liu Dong, she thought of "that child" again, and tears flowed down her cheeks.While walking into the house holding her son's hand, she hurriedly asked: Dong, how have you been these two years? it is good!Liu Dong could only answer in this way.I haven't seen my relatives in front of me for two years. Every time I write a letter, I have thousands of words to say, and the last thing I write on paper can only be to say that I am safe.On the way back, he still had too much to say in his heart, but when he saw his relatives, he could only use "good" to sum up his mood at this time.Before returning home, he didn't write a letter, and he didn't tell his family that he was going to the teaching team of the military region to study. He wanted to surprise his family. After entering the room, he handed the admission notice to his elder brother. After Liu Shu read the paper several times, he raised his face and said excitedly: "Liu Dong, do you want to quit after studying?" Liu Dong nodded, and his elder brother hugged him, crying "woo woo".While crying, he sobbed: brother, you didn't let my brother's thoughts go to waste, you did a good job for our family.It is worthwhile for your sister to suffer a little bit of grievance, we are looking forward to this day. That evening, Liu Shu squatted at the door and played the flute again. The sound of the flute was no longer melancholy, and the melody was full of joy and joy.Someone passed by the door and asked Liu Shu: What's the matter, so happy? Liu Shu smiled and said to him: My younger brother Liu Dong is about to be promoted. At night, Liu Shu and Liu Dong were lying on the kang, both seemed very excited.Liu Shu listened to Liu Dong talk about his military experience in the past two years, and Liu Shu listened curiously.Later, he stroked Liu Dong's military uniform over and over again: Brother, what do you think I look like in a military uniform? Then you can try it on. Liu Dong's agitation aroused his curiosity even more. He got out of the quilt, put on his military uniform, and stood on the kang looking left and right.Liu Dong found that brother put on this military uniform as if he was a different person, and he became more energetic all of a sudden.He knew that his brother's biggest dream was to serve as a soldier. Looking at the excited brother in front of him, Liu Dong felt sad for a while.He looked at his brother and said, "Brother, you like wearing military uniform so much. When I return to the army, I will send you my military uniform." While carefully taking off his military uniform, Liu Shu said anxiously: No, you sent it to me, so what are you wearing? I still have. Seeing his brother happy, he felt even more uncomfortable.The whole family cared about him, but what did he do for the family?He reached out to turn off the light, and the room suddenly became dark.Liu Dong in the dark suddenly said: Brother, you should also consider your own affairs. Liu Shu was depressed for a while, and said: "This time you are about to mention it. After you mention it, brother will have time to think about it." Liu Dong choked up all of a sudden, and said in a crying voice: Brother, you have paid too much for this family and me. Liu Shu told his younger brother very calmly: I am the boss of this family, and since my father is gone, I am the pillar of the family.This time it's alright, when you finish your job, you will be the pillar of the family, and it's time for my brother to rest. Liu Dong didn't say anything, just looked at the dark ceiling with his eyes open.After a while, Liu Shu said: "It's getting late, go to bed."Tomorrow we have to go and see Dad. If he has a spirit, he will be so happy to know that you have done it. Wang Guixiang in the other room also fell asleep, and Liu Dong's return brought out her thoughts again. When she saw Liu Dong, she thought of "that child".She didn't even have time to name the child, so she could only call him "Second Brother", and the second child should grow up to be a young man like Liu Dong.At night, she thought about her second child countless times, imagining his life, and most of the time, she met him in her dreams.The palms and backs of her hands are full of flesh. She loves the child in front of her, and misses her second child who has lost her voice even more. In Wang Guixiang's countless imaginations, the second child is clear for a while and blurred for a while.For so many years, the longing for the second child can only stay in her imagination.She knew in her heart that the second child would not suffer any grievances and must be living happily.But she still couldn't help thinking about it, she couldn't control her thinking.She imagined the life of her second child thousands of times. She knew that her child was happy, but she still couldn't stop thinking about it. After Liu Dong left as a soldier, Liu Shu once asked some details about sending her brother away, but she refused to tell him, because she was worried that Liu Shu would cause extraneous branches and disturb his peaceful life.As a mother, she has given birth to so many children, and she knows the truth that it is easy to have children but difficult to raise them.It was not easy for the military couple to raise the second child.They regard the second child as their own, and if the second child finds out that he is not their own, it will be a heavy blow to them.She felt the feelings of another mother with the mood of one mother. She once swore to herself that unless she was going to die, she would never tell the secrets of Tian Liaochen's family to anyone, including her own children.This is her conscience, she believes that good people will be rewarded. Gradually, she also figured it out, right to regard Liu Dong as the second child, and every time she thinks about "that child", she thinks hard about Liu Dong. Let her see the child, which makes her happier than the child's future.As long as the child is healthy and safe, she will feel at ease in her heart and have hope in her life.This time when Liu Dong came back, she found that her son was fatter and taller than two years ago, and she let go of her worry. Liu Dong came and left again, and the house seemed to be empty again, so long thoughts grew in her heart.She understands that her son is promising, so she doesn't need to worry about it anymore, but she still cares about it, thinking about it, and her life is going too far.
