"Then my sister slept with my eldest brother yesterday. Let her follow me today."
Liu Xuemei was happy: "Your father and I have no objection, you have to ask Bingyue."
"Sister, you don't just like eldest brother, do you?"
Seeing the second brother's lowered eyebrows and pitiful expression, Shui Bingyue nodded helplessly: "Okay, I will sleep with the second brother today. But you have to teach me arithmetic. I have been learning literacy these days, and I haven't learned mathematics yet. "
"no problem."
Then Shui Jiandang carried his sister back to his room. Xiaoqi felt deeply disappointed when his sister didn't come to him.
But thinking that he was living with Li Yucheng now and there was no way for his sister to live with him, I was really disappointed.
Tomorrow is Monday, and except for the second oldest boy, all the other boys have to go to school.
Shen Yajuan spent the winter here and tried to contact her uncle. He was picked up by his uncle.
I have been exchanging letters with the Shui family over the years. After all, without Shui Jianguo, she would have been dead.
The man she married, Gu Xuesong, was a battalion commander and wanted to recruit soldiers here in the Northeast, so she mentioned this to the Shui family.
Now Gu Xuesong lives in the county guest house and keeps an eye on the recruitment matter every day.
After one night, it's the next day. The Water Development Party drove the donkey cart to the county and took the materials to register.
After passing the preliminary examination, I received the application form, the registration form, and the physical examination. As long as I passed the political examination, I could join the army.
When Gu Xuesong came to supervise the recruitment work, he happened to hear the boy who handed in the physical examination form named Shui Jiandang.
She chatted with him gently: "Where is your home from?"
"Lianhua Township, Qingshui Village."
"Oh, that's a nice place, the people are simple and honest."
"Then when can I get the notice from the chief?"
Gu Xuesong patted him on the shoulder and said firmly: "You can come here to see the list for up to ten days. If you are accepted, you will be listed on the red list."
"Thank you. It's time for me to go back. Goodbye."
"Goodbye, young man."
The person in charge of the watch collection asked: "Does Battalion Commander Gu know the water construction party?"
"I don't know him, but he looks like a good candidate at first glance."
Shuijian Dang did not go home immediately, but finally made a trip to the county. I went to a state-owned store and bought fruit candies for my sister.
Because it is really dangerous, the preliminary review of the draft will be over one day later. If you want to join the army, you have to wait for another year.
At noon, Shui Jiandang arrived home, put a bag of candies on the table, picked up his sister who was sitting on a chair reading a book, and spun around happily.
"Bingyue, you are my little lucky star. If you hadn't said it earlier, there would have been no chance if you had said it later."
"Then my brother has the ability. It has nothing to do with me. Are you sure you can join the army?"
Seeing the expectant look in his sister's eyes, Shui Jian Dang told the truth: "There are no problems with the preliminary review and physical examination, but the political review is still needed. I will go to the county recruitment office in ten days to see the results."
"That's good. My brother will definitely pass. After all, our family is all well-educated. Brother Chunsheng from my second uncle's family is also a national scientific researcher."
"No one dares to guarantee it until the end. No matter what the outcome is, at least I will try and I won't have any regrets."
Seeing that her second brother was so serious, Shui Bingyue was afraid that he would be under psychological pressure, so she took the initiative to kiss her brother on the cheek and said proudly: "Brother is the best, you must be happy every day."
"Bingyue, you are so kind. Do you want to ride a big horse and lift it high?"
"No, just let me down, brother. I'm a big kid now, you can't hug me all the time."
Shui Jiandang looked at his sister, a two-and-a-half-year-old girl, and thought she was very cute.
Since his brothers all went to school and his parents went to the fields, Shui Jiandang went to the kitchen to make lunch.
Because this month is the busy farming season, the braised beans and noodles I made for lunch were delicious and filling.
Xiaoqi went to primary school in the village and ran home after school. I feel very satisfied when I smell the aroma of rice.
I saw my sister sitting on a small bench at the door of the kitchen, sucking tomato juice. It was my second brother who was busy in the kitchen.
Concernedly asked: "Why is the second brother cooking today?"
"I went to the county for something. I came back early and made lunch. I can't just wait for my mother to do everything."
"Then when will dinner be served? I feel like I'm going to starve to death." Xiao Qi was just growing up, so she was really hungry fast.
"We can start dinner when our parents come back."
After Shui Jiandang finished speaking, he poured the steamed braised noodles into a large porcelain basin and started boiling egg drop noodle soup on the fire.
In less than five minutes, Shui Shangqing, Liu Xuemei and Li Yucheng came back.
"Hey, Jian Dang has prepared the meal. Let's wash our hands and start eating!"
Liu Xuemei was very happy. After all, working in the fields was really tiring. It feels so good to be able to eat it ready-made.
After washing his hands, Shui Shangqing picked up his daughter and put his head against her forehead: "What did Bingyue do this morning?"
"Read books and learn to write. When my second brother came back, he gave me a red tomato. It was sour and sweet, and it was delicious."
"When you have free time someday, dad will pick wild mushrooms, sweet potatoes, and raspberries for you. Let you have a good time."
Shui Bingyue shook her head: "I don't want it. The mountain is too dangerous. Dad doesn't want to go. My second brother bought me fruit candies. No fruit can be sweeter than sugar."
A few of us had lunch together, which was delicious and filling.
Xiao Qi rested at home for a while and then went to school. Shui Jiandang also wanted to go to the fields in the afternoon and didn't want to leave his sister at home alone.
He put a military kettle on her back, a small bench, and asked her to sit under the big banyan tree at the edge of the field.
Shui Bingyue held the textbook by herself. After all, she had learned Pinyin, and she could read the words with Pinyin in the primary school textbook.
When others saw this scene, they joked: "My little aunt likes reading at such a young age, and she will definitely have a great future."
Accountant Feng's daughter-in-law, Ge Yue, curled her lips and thought to herself: She is just a little girl, no matter how good-looking she is, she cannot continue the family line. Village Chief Shui is really out of his mind. Treat a daughter as a treasure.
Most people still like Shui Bingyue very much. After all, since her birth, the village's various incomes have increased a lot in the past few years.
But now feudal superstition is not allowed, everyone is thinking about it in their hearts. After all, the Shui family only built a new five-room brick house after Shui Bingyue was born.
Feng Xiaoxiao looked at Shui Bingyue sitting in the shade of a tree reading a book, feeling envious and jealous. I wish she could disappear forever.
I don't know if her thoughts were heard by the devil, or for some other reason. A big wild boar weighing three to four hundred pounds was running from the mountain in the direction of Shui Bingyue.
In the past few days, I have been doing rice transplanting work in the fields, and I didn’t bring any particularly sharp farm tools. When everyone realized that the wild boar was about to hit the little girl, they had no time to react.
Shui Jian Dang burst out and ran in the direction of his sister at great speed.
When I thought it was too late, I saw my sister dodging the wild boar, and the wild boar hit the tree, its skull was sunk in, and it died on the spot.
