"Don't be so playful. You must be serious and cautious when doing your work. Don't act recklessly." Li Zewen pointed at Li Hai and scolded.
"I know, don't worry." Li Hai said with a smile.
As a veteran, Li Zewen knew all too well how dangerous the job his son was engaged in was. Regardless of how lightly Li Hai said it, Li Zewen was very aware of the danger of losing engine power during takeoff if a bird strike occurred. Although Li Hai kept saying that he would not be stupid enough to waste precious time and would definitely parachute as soon as possible, Li Zewen also knew very well that at any critical moment, the first thing a soldier considers is not his own safety - whether it is his son or others. Son, as long as he is a soldier.
Li Zewen taught, "The body is the capital of the revolution. Only by preserving yourself can you destroy the enemy. This is the golden principle. You are still young and full of youthful energy. You can just take care of yourself and ignore things when you encounter them. This is not acceptable."
After a pause, he said, "Also, Mr. Li asked you to take a temporary position here to cultivate your future. You better have a clear understanding and don't be ignorant."
"You know, you know, can I not know? When I asked for my opinion, I said that I obey the organization's arrangements." Li Hai smiled as if he was taking credit.
Li Zewen nodded slightly, then asked, "How are you and Lin Li? Is she still in Ludong?"
"Yes, it's not bad, it's still the same." Li Hai replied.
Li Zewen pointed at Li Hai and said, "This girl has been dating you for several years. It's time to give me an explanation. I applied for family leave and returned to Beijing during the Spring Festival this year and completed the procedures."
"Dad, this is too soon. I'm only twenty-three years old. How could I get married so early." Li Hai was afraid of this, whatever he was afraid of.
Li Zewen stared and said, "The legal age for marriage is twenty-two, and you are already over the age! You are fine, there is no discussion on this matter. Your mother will retire when her service term expires next year, and I will be transferred back to Beijing in two years. Headquarters agency, you and Lin Li should seize the time to have a few children, while your mother and I still have the strength to help you take care of them for a few years. Can't you two also concentrate on your career for a few years? "
Li Hai said with a sad face, "Dad, Lin Li and I are really still young. Either I don't want to get married, or I just haven't settled on anything yet, so why get married? It doesn't matter to you and mom, but as for Lin Li's family, you can't say that. In a word, they will marry off the daughter they worked hard to bring up."
"Don't you just want me to buy you a house? You can't tell me, I have no money anyway." Li Zewen also has troubles that he can't tell. On the surface, he is a corporate executive with an annual salary of one million, but in fact he is just working for his wife. , the pocket is cleaner than the face.
Li Hai said seriously, "Dad, I'm really not bargaining. The house is nothing. When everything is normal here, Guanghai will make up a large amount of money every year. Lin Li and I have discussed it, and we will My family is settled in Qingdao. It will be no problem to come up with a down payment in a few years. It will be most appropriate to get married at that time."
Marriage is something that is often talked about. Although the two of them haven't seen each other for more than two years, they basically keep talking on the phone once a month. Dad will talk about this topic every time. Li Hai always finds various ways to talk about it. Gao Li managed it.
However, this time is obviously different.
Li Zewen said categorically, "I said, this matter is not negotiable and will not be discussed any more."
Li Hai was stunned. He never expected that his father would be so determined this time.
After being silent for a while, Li Zewen said, "Let's talk about other things. Xiao Xue said that your comrade made a stupid mistake during flight training this afternoon? He judged that his mental quality was not strong enough. I said what's wrong with today's children? If this psychological problem or that psychological quality is not up to standard, how come there are so many bad things?"
Li Hai was a little ashamed. Facing the older generation who had gone through blood and fire, they really had no confidence.
"The Forgotten Reef is different from other places. As you saw today, hundreds of thousands of fishing boats operating in the surrounding fishing grounds have such a safe haven when encountering strong winds and waves. Your usual tasks are not only training patrols, but also shouldering many tasks. Non-military mission. Your combat flight position is very important and very training. You, and your comrade who serves the people, must have a correct attitude and be serious about doing your job well. Don’t think about all the miscellaneous things. There will definitely not be any psychological problems. How to train your psychological quality is to constantly challenge yourself and break through yourself. If the psychologist is effective, what do you want the soldiers to do? Let them persuade them to surrender!"
Li Zewen's words were sonorous and powerful.
Another old stubborn with prejudice against psychology, Li Hai thought in his heart and said, "Dad, I understand, don't worry."
"Bring the Party for the People here tomorrow and I will have a talk with him." Li Zewen said.
Li Hai was stunned, "We can talk, but don't lecture him like you lectured me. He is not your son."
"I know it well, let me tell you." Li Zewen said dissatisfiedly, "It's okay, you go back and get some rest."
Li Hai rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, since you asked me to get married early, you have to show your disapproval? How about you give me the down payment?"
"If I had money, I would buy it for you, but the money belongs to Comrade Liu Dong." Li Zewen spread his hands and said.
Liu Dong is Li Hai's mother.
Li Hai smiled and said, "You must have a small treasury. Don't deny it yet. I will definitely not inform Comrade Liu Dong. How about that?"
"You bastard, there's nothing you can do to trick me! I really don't have any money. If you tell Comrade Liu Dong, she will definitely buy it for you." Li Zewen said with a sneer.
Li Hai's face suddenly became pale, and he stood up and said, "Okay, since you are unwilling to contribute, let me get married based on the situation..."
"you dare!"
Li Hai responded tit for tat, "Do you think I dare or not? You can't come here and take me back, can you?"
Li Zewen was stunned for a moment, and he thought to himself: This is true. If this bastard decides to get married later, can you still tie him to the Civil Affairs Bureau? Besides, he has been out of the army for many years, so he can't find someone to force his son to get married, right? Wouldn't that make the old comrades laugh to death?
Li Hai held back his smile and observed his father. He saw his eyes rolling around, and Li Hai had a basic idea.
After a while, Li Zewen sighed and said, "Okay, okay. Although you and I have no money, it's no problem to ask an old comrade to lend you a down payment. In short, I'll go back to Beijing during the Spring Festival to go through the formalities, and everything else will be easy to deal with."
"Wouldn't you have ended it earlier?" Li Hai said with a smile, "You can go to bed early, I'm going back."
After Li Hai went out, Li Zewen slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: "Give me a grandson so that my old Li family will not have any descendants. Why don't you understand the good intentions of your father?" He even snooped around to get information about my little treasury, but fortunately I’ve seen big winds and waves, so I won’t be fooled..."
After leaving the house, Li Hai had already thought about what he would say on the phone with his mother tomorrow - Mom, you are right, Dad must have a small treasury, and the amount may be astonishing!
Li Zewen knows very well that in this family, wife and children are always on the same side. After so many years of struggle, a little carelessness will lead to endless suffering. It has been hammered out for a long time, so every time we talk about money, Whether he is talking to his wife or his son, he is highly vigilant about the topic. In general, he will not admit the matter of "intercepting public funds into private treasury".
His wife works in confidentiality technology, and any clues will lead to the "breaking" of the small treasury accumulated over decades...
