"What's the use of having prestige? Being a soldier means you have to go to the battlefield. If you are unlucky enough to be sent to the battlefield, a cannonball will fly over and your life will be gone. The grandson of the old lady next door did it because of being a soldier. Soldier, you lost your life in North Korea. You are only sixteen, and you still have a bright future ahead of you, why should you become a soldier?" Liu Guangqi used Xu Changsheng's example to test Liu Guangli.
Liu Guangli's answer just now was quite satisfactory, but it did not satisfy Liu Guangqi. In Liu Guangqi's opinion, being a soldier is a very sacred thing and should not be mixed with other things.
"Second brother, you are also a college student after all. I thought you would support me, but I didn't expect that your thoughts are as backward as my mother's. If everyone is as greedy as you and afraid of death, hiding behind others and enjoying the benefits, then we What will happen to our country? Let me tell you, you are afraid of death. I, Liu Guangli, am not afraid of death. I, Liu Guangli, have nothing but a backbone. For this country, it doesn’t matter even if I go to the battlefield, even if a bullet hits me, I will never take a step back. What Dong Cunrui and Huang Jiguang can do, I, Liu Guangli, can also do."
"Really? I want to see if you are really not afraid of death." Hearing Liu Guangli's impassioned speech, Liu Guangqi nodded with satisfaction in his heart. This is a man who was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze. The atmosphere that young people should have is full of passion and blood.
However, although he was very satisfied, Liu Guangqi had a look of disdain on his face. He got up and went back to his room and took out a revolver.
"What are you doing, Guangqi, put down the gun. Even if Guangli speaks a little too hastily, he won't take the gun." Liu Qiufang, who was standing by, saw Liu Guangqi take out a pistol from the house and was so frightened that his soul flew away. He quickly stood in front of Liu Guangli.
"Sister-in-law, get out of the way. Boy, aren't you afraid of death? I put a bullet in this gun. As long as you dare to shoot yourself in the head, I will allow you to become a soldier. And which army do you want to go to? I will send you to that army, and I will speak to your parents on your behalf." Liu Guangqi put a bullet into the roulette wheel in front of Liu Guangli and Liu Qiufang, and then handed it to Liu Guangli.
"What are you doing, Guangqi? How can I be a brother like you? You are forcing Guangli to death. Give me the gun." Liu Qiufang saw Liu Guangqi's actions and jumped directly on Liu Guangqi in excitement. , reached out to snatch the revolver from Liu Guangqi's hand.
Seeing the pistol in Liu Guangqi's hand, Liu Guangli swallowed hard.
"If you want to be a soldier, just take the gun. If you don't want to be a soldier, get the food and get out of here." Seeing Liu Guangli's hesitant eyes, Liu Guangqi took the gun back with some disappointment.
"Who said I dare not?" Perhaps he was stimulated by Liu Guangqi. At the moment Liu Guangqi took the gun back, Liu Guangli suddenly stepped forward, snatched the gun away and pointed it at his head.
"We agreed, second brother, as long as I dare to shoot, you will send me to serve as a soldier. You will do what you say." Liu Guangli looked at Liu Guangqi with sweat on his face and confirmed again.
"Don't worry, I, Liu Guangqi, always speak with confidence. As long as you dare to shoot, I will send you to serve as a soldier, but you have to think about it. What if you have bullets in it? Your life will be lost.”
"Don't listen to him, Guangli." Liu Guangqi held down the struggling Liu Qiufang and said expressionlessly.
"Gudong" looked at the indifferent Liu Guangqi. Liu Guangli swallowed hard, then looked at the revolver in his hand, closed his eyes, pointed it at his head, and pulled the trigger.
After a crisp sound of "click", Liu Guangli and Liu Qiufang both collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily as if they were surviving a disaster.
"Good boy, I saw you right." Liu Guangqi walked up to Liu Guangli and patted his shoulder with satisfaction. Although Liu Guangli made this move largely because of his own stimulation, it was enough to make this move. I can see Liu Guangli’s determination to become a soldier.
"Bah!" As soon as Liu Guangqi finished speaking, Liu Qiufang, who was slumped on the ground, got up and gave Liu Guangqi a blow so loud that it hit his sinuses, and then chased Liu Guangqi and started beating him.
"He was beaten, sister-in-law. I was trying to scare him. There were no bullets in the gun." Liu Guangqi naturally knew why Liu Qiufang hit him and quickly defended himself.
"You are still talking nonsense. We saw with our own eyes that you put yourself in it. If you say no, who are you fooling?" Liu Qiufang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then she dragged Liu Guangqi and started fighting again.
"I'm not lying to you, look what this is." Liu Guangqi couldn't stand being beaten by Liu Qiufang, so he quickly took out a bullet and placed it in front of Liu Qiufang.
"There really are no bullets, sister-in-law." At this moment, Liu Guangli also opened the revolver, and the turntable was indeed empty.
"This is?"
"This is a cover-up. I can really let Guangli die. If Guangli does something bad, my father won't kill me. I just want to test his courage. Being a soldier is no better than doing anything else. Although our country is watching It is stable, but the surrounding situation is not stable. If you become a soldier, you may go to the battlefield at any time. If you are not determined to die, then don't become a soldier, otherwise you will become a deserter and embarrass me." When Liu Guangqi took back the revolver from Liu Guangli, he explained to the two of them why he did what he did just now.
"Guangli, why don't we join the army? If you don't get good grades, you won't be good. If you don't want to go to school, you can't go to school. Your second brother knows a lot of people. Asking him to find a place to work for you won't make you suffer more than joining the army. Strong." When Liu Guangqi said that there was still a battle to be fought, Liu Qiufang immediately felt sorry for her nephew.
"Girl, you've already come to this point, and you're still saying this. Don't try to persuade me. You're just saying that I'm determined to be a soldier. Second brother, you promised me. As long as you shoot, you'll send me to be a soldier." Soldier." He had just fired a shot under pressure, and Liu Guangli felt that he was not afraid of anything now.
"Don't worry, I won't forget. You should eat something first. I will make arrangements for you after the New Year." In a blink of an eye, 1960-plus New Year's Eve has passed, and New China has ushered in a new year.
Liu Guangqi's vacation also ushered in the last day. Taking advantage of this last day, Liu Guangqi planned to do everything he had to do. Early in the morning, Liu Guangqi rode his bicycle to Dengzhan Hutong.
"Doctor Liu, why are you here?" As soon as Liu Guangqi arrived at the door of Wang Mantang's house, he met Sun Da Niu who came out to take out the garbage.
"I'm here to take Ya'er to the factory to report. Didn't she tell you?"
"Are you sending her a report?" Sun Darniu looked puzzled. She couldn't figure out what was going on?
"Didn't she go to the Hongshankou Machine Repair Factory to report today? It just so happens that my third uncle is a sand foundry worker at the machine repair shop. I'm going to visit their family today. I just happened to be on the road with Ya'er, so I took her with me."
"That's great. I was just worried that Ya'er went to the factory alone without anyone I knew to take care of me." After hearing Liu Guangqi's explanation, Sun Da Niu was overjoyed. The doubts in her heart disappeared and she quickly called Liu Guangqi in.
"Slow down on the road, please, Doctor Liu." Women are troublesome. I thought they could just go in and grab their things, but it took them two hours to leave Wang Mantang's house.
Liu Guangqi couldn't help but feel angry in front of Wang Mantang's family. When he turned out of the alley, Liu Guangqi's face immediately darkened.
"What are you upset about? I let you lie to me. I'm not upset yet, but you are upset first. What's wrong with asking you to wait for me for a while? Why don't you see you upset when you are with me? ." Seeing Liu Guangqi's donkey face, the little girl pinched the soft flesh of Liu Guangqi's waist hard without saying a word. Liu Guangqi gasped in pain and immediately put on a smiling face. .
Under the urging of the little girl like a horse, Liu Guangqi finally took the little girl to the Hongshankou Machine Repair Factory after two hours of riding.
This is the first time Liu Guangqi has come to this place since he knew about it. The entire factory is small, the area is only one-sixth of the steel rolling mill, and there are not many buildings in it, unlike the steel rolling mill workshops that are located one next to another.
"What are you doing?" Just as the two of them were looking at the door of the machine repair shop, a head suddenly stuck out of the guard room of the machine repair shop.
"Hello, comrade, I'm here to visit relatives, and she's here to report." Facing the stranger's inquiry, the little girl who was so domineering just now seemed to be a different person.
Hiding behind Liu Guangqi, he poked Liu Guangqi.
"The report will wait for a while. The factory is busy now. Who are you looking for to visit relatives?" After hearing that one of the two people was visiting relatives and the other was reporting, the people in the guard room immediately changed their expressions and leaned lazily on their chairs. on the back.
"Liu Haisheng from the sand foundry workshop."
"Who?" Hearing Liu Guangqi looking for Liu Haisheng, the guard looked up at Liu Guangqi.
"Liu Haisheng."
"Wait here." After confirming that the person Liu Guangqi wanted to find was Liu Haisheng, the originally slow guard stopped what he was doing, lit a cigarette and puffed away, knocking the two of them down. aside.
"Comrade, you asked us to wait. Then you have to tell us when we will wait." Liu Guangqi knew something was wrong as soon as he saw the other party's expression. The guy in front of him was probably having some trouble with his third uncle, otherwise he wouldn't When Hui heard Liu Haisheng, it was like a different person.
"I don't know how long I'll wait. Just wait if I ask you to wait. It's so much nonsense. You don't understand any rules. You're a country bumpkin."
"What did you say? Tell me again." Liu Guangqi didn't want to argue with this kind of person at first. It was okay to wait. He was indeed a little tired after riding all the way. It would be good to take a rest at this time, but when he heard that the other party was caring about him Liu Guangqi couldn't bear to be called a country boy. A gatekeeper really thought he was a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door.
"I just told you, country bumpkin, what's wrong, someone from a village actually dares to come here and yell at me, do you know who my brother-in-law is?" the guard yelled with his eyes wide open.
By the way, he gave Liu Guangqi a hand back.
"Fuck you, I don't care who your brother-in-law is." It's tolerable, but it's intolerable. As a person who never wants to suffer, how could Liu Guangqi indulge him?
He grabbed the other person's collar and pulled him out of the window of the guard room.
"What are you doing? You're beating someone. Come here." Seeing Liu Guangqi lifting himself out so easily, the guard immediately understood that he was no match for Liu Guangqi and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"What are you doing? Stop." Hearing the noise, a worker in work clothes ran over. When he saw Liu Guangqi pinning the worker he was singing to the ground and beating him violently, he couldn't help but kick Liu Guangqi.
"Be careful, hide quickly." Upon seeing this, Ya'er quickly reminded Liu Guangqi. Liu Guangqi ducked and caught the opponent's flying calf, and then kicked the opponent's other calf for support.
The worker who came to support fell directly on top of the first guard.
"stop."
"Where did the little gangster come from? How dare he come here to look for trouble, brothers. Hold him down." Looking at more and more workers rushing toward him, Liu Guangqi took two steps back and picked up a The sweeping broom was placed in front of him, preparing for a fight and testing his skills to see how many hits he could take.
"Stop it, what are you doing? It's such a mess." Just when Liu Guangqi was getting ready for a big fight, a voice full of official accent came up from behind the crowd.
Hearing this sound, the workers who were preparing to attack Liu Guangqi immediately stopped what they were doing. He turned his head to look at the person who spoke, and then slowly moved out of the way.
"What's going on? Why are we fighting?" A group of people walked into the passage that everyone had moved out of the way, and one of them was so angry that he asked.
"Director, someone wants to break through the empty door. If I don't let him in, they will beat me." Seeing the person, the guard who had been beaten on the ground ran over like a monkey.
"Uncle Li!? Why are you here?" Facing the guard's accusation, Liu Guangqi was indifferent. He looked at Li Huaide, who was surrounded by the leaders of the machine repair shop, and called him Uncle Li.
Hearing this Uncle Li, the scene instantly became quiet.
"Just after the New Year, the main factory sent me down to inspect the state of work of each factory after the New Year. Why are you here and fighting with him? You are not hurt." After saying that, Li Huaide walked up to Liu Guangqi and checked him up and down. stand up.
Seeing this scene, the leaders of the machine repair shop all broke into cold sweats.
"It's okay, as long as they can't hurt me, I'm here to visit relatives today, and I'm sending my friend over to report."
"Oh, I remember your third uncle seems to be in this factory. Then why did you get into a fight with the guard." Li Huaide glanced at the guard.
"It's not that this guy's attitude is too arrogant. I originally..., but he..." Liu Guangqi recounted what happened truthfully.
The guard on the side had already collapsed on the ground after hearing Liu Guangqi's retelling.
"Director Liu, is this a worker from your branch? His quality is really good." Li Huaide looked at the director of the machine repair shop and sneered.
"Director Li, please listen to my explanation."
"Explain? What's the point of explaining to me? You have completely embarrassed our Red Star Steel Factory. Do you know who he is? He is a well-known doctor affiliated with Beijing Medical University. He has been interviewed by Mr. Run and Mr. Wu. You actually blocked him from the door. The threshold of your machine repair shop is really high." Perhaps to vent his anger to Liu Guangqi or to take this opportunity to establish his authority, Li Huaide scolded the leaders of the machine repair shop.
"Uncle Li, don't be angry. In fact, they are not entirely to blame. I am also wrong." At the end of the sentence, Liu Guangqi felt a little embarrassed and spoke for the leaders of the machine repair shop.
"Look at this person's heart. It's obvious that he has been wronged and still wants to help you speak up."
"Yes, yes," Li Huaide said for a while at the top, and echoed at the bottom.
"It's exactly noon. Guangqi, you haven't eaten yet. Let's eat something together. After dinner, we can go to their branch factory and inspect the clinic. Don't take it seriously. Clinics and hospitals all over the country want him to come and give lectures. There is so much guidance work that even our main factory and the hospital have to line up to have a chance to take a class. You are really lucky." This combination of kindness and power was clearly played by Li Huaide. He just used Liu Guangqi to It gave the leadership of the machine repair shop a prestige, and now Liu Guangqi showed favor to the machine repair shop.
"That's great. I warmly welcome Dr. Liu to come to our machine repair shop to guide the work." The leader of the machine repair shop is also a wonderful person. He directly turned Liu Guangqi from a visitor to the leader of the inspection work.
When other leaders saw this, they also clapped. Just like that, Liu Guangqi was carried to the machine repair shop and brought to the cafeteria. As for the little girl who came with him, the leader of the machine repair shop arranged for someone to take her to report.
"Guang Qi, you have to have a good taste of this meal. Our main factory has He Yuzhu who is a great cook, but there is also Nanyi in this machine repair shop, and his skills are quite good. You have to have a good taste of it now. Let’s see which of these two is more skilled.”
