Chapter 5 Let's settle an account

The autumn recruitment work is carried out shortly after the autumn harvest every year. Each production team has people sent by the commune propaganda team. They carry lime buckets and look for walls to write slogans everywhere, and commune cadres also go to various companies to mobilize.

There was also a saying on the walls of Lou Yanni's house, "One person joins the army, the whole family is glorious."

When the propaganda team came to brush the slogans, Grandma Lou was making shoes, and Lou Yanni led the twins to stand aside and watched, giving her a hand to hold a ladder or something.

While chatting, the uncle who was brushing the slogans knew that Lou Jingping was 18 years old this year, and smiled and said that he would let Lou Jingping go and give it a try.

It’s great to be a soldier! At this time, soldiers and workers are the two most valued professions. If girls can marry workers and eat public food, or marry soldiers and become military families, it will be a matter of glory on their faces.

Military members have monthly allowances, military food invoices are also distributed, and supplies are also available every quarter. If they are not used, they can be sent home. Who in the village has a military kettle or old military uniform, which can show off for at least half a year.

Lou Yanni and his brother naturally knew that it was good to be a soldier. Lou Yanni even knew that her father had not passed away, so she wanted to send Lou Jingping to the army. What Lou Jingping longed for the most was the green military uniform.

But this is the case at home...

As soon as he left, what should I do with my elderly grandmother? What should I do with Lou Yanni, who will be married in two years? What should I do with twins who are in school?

There will be allowances for military service, but no matter what happens to the family, it will not be able to relieve intimate thirst.

Less than two days after the slogan was finished, the commune's cadre was responsible for mobilizing arrived at the Lou family. Unexpectedly, it would be Zuo Weiguo. However, when he thought of the educated youth in the village, Lou Yanni understood it.

"Grandma Lou, I'm here to mobilize. Your family Lou Jingping meets the recruitment requirements and will give up the small family for everyone. I hope he can sign up at the township government on time and participate in the preliminary inspection." Zuo Weiguo sat in the Lou family yard, and there was a staff member who came with him.

Seeing Lou Yanni coming out of the stove, Zuo Weiguo handed over the persuasion of Grandma Lou to his colleagues, greeted Lou Yanni, and slowly walked to the Lou Family Vegetable Garden.

The vegetable garden next to Loujia House is one of the private areas. Some seasonal side dishes were planted. The place was not big, and there were only two small ridges of vegetable fields. However, it was cleaned and there was no weed.

After Zuo Weiguo stood for a while, he saw Lou Yanni coming to him.

Looking at the vivid and lively Lou Yanni, Zuo Weiguo's nose suddenly felt sore, and his hands behind him trembled slightly. He needed to use all his strength to control himself and barely restrain his urge to hug her.

Zuo Weiguo's eyes made Lou Yanni feel uncomfortable. She really couldn't understand why Zuo Weiguo looked at her with such strange and affectionate eyes. It was clear that Xing Xiaojuan was the target of Zuo Weiguo, and she was even hesitant whether she should go forward again.

"Yanni, I don't know how to tell you some things so that you can believe me." Zuo Weiguo saw her wandering and silently withdrew his gaze, his eyes fell in the distance, as if he was recalling something.

In the previous life, Zuo Weiguo was not concerned about Lou Yanni's family. He only knew that Lou Jingping disappeared unexpectedly in 1976 and disappeared from then on. He didn't know whether it was death or life. Grandma Lou could not bear the blow and died within two years after falling ill. Only Lou Yanni lived with her twins in a difficult life.

The year when the twins were both admitted to college, Lou Yanni chose to marry herself who drank alcohol every day to relieve her sorrows, who was so decadent that she was not as personal as she was, and she was extremely opposed to this marriage.

Thinking of this, Zuo Weiguo looked at Lou Yanni with guilt.

But no matter how harsh he spoke, cold and rude, Yan Ni never complained at all. She silently held on to take care of his elderly parents, raised the two children left by Xing Xiaojuan, and advised him to be a good father.

It was him, not a thing. Yan Ni was obviously so good, but she went to Xing Xiaojuan's hometown to find someone just because of a piece of news. As a result, there was an accident and the family's assets were empty. In the end, her feet were lame, and the family's financial conditions plummeted.

At this time, Yan Ni did not leave him, but instead worked two jobs a day, silently helping him support the broken home.

However, when he finally realized her goodness and wanted to live a good life, she...

Xing Xiaojuan! Zuo Weiguo was deeply in pain. In this life, he would return Xing Xiaojuan to Yan Ni to her thousands of times the pain!

What Xing Xiaojuan owes Yanni will never be able to pay it back. What he owes Yanni can owe him, so how can he pay it back?

Thinking of the past, Zuo Weiguo wanted to slap him a few times. For the sake of Xing Xiaojuan, he hurt himself, his parents and children, and also hurt the kind Yan Ni. Fortunately, God has eyes, allowing him to live a lifetime and protect her wholeheartedly.

Zuo Weiguo's eyes became wet. Before Lou Yanni noticed it, he raised his head and forced his tears back, "Let Jingping go to join the army, don't worry, life will get better and better."

"Just Officer Zuo, just call me Comrade Lou Yanni." Because of his overly intimate name, Lou Yanni felt awkward. "Also, I don't understand very much, why do I have to let my brother join the army?"

There is no problem with the ingredients of the Lou family. Lou Jingping's physical fitness is good, but the reason is that. Even if she agrees, Lou Jingping may not be willing to go there.

In fact, Lou Yanni is very willing to let Lou Jingping join the army. She is sixteen years old and can take good care of her grandmother and younger brothers and sisters.

Zuo Weiguo was stunned. He only knew that Lou Jingping would disappear, but what happened to the Lou family during this period and why Lou Jingping disappeared? He didn't know all of these. What reason should he use to convince Lou Yanni, who has always been very upright?

Could it be that he would just say that Lou Jingping would disappear in two years and his life and death were unknown?

That was obviously impossible. The rebirth was too incredible. He didn't want to be treated as a charlatan or a lunatic, and was kicked out of the house by Lou Yanni's big stick.

"Yan...Comrade Lou Yanni, I'll make a calculation with you. Even if Comrade Lou Jingping gets eight full work points a day, how much money can he earn? The work value of your production team is quite high. When the year is good, it will be 25 cents, but when it is bad, it will only cost more than 7 cents. According to the maximum, how much does it cost in a year?"

Lou Yanni silently said, "Nine hundred and twenty-two cents, but if you don't work in the slack farm, you won't have any work points. After the grain is distributed, you have to pay off most of the work points. When you are sick, you have to pay back the money you borrowed from the team. After a year, it would be great to get about a hundred yuan."

"That's right." Zuo Weiguo looked at Lou Yanni with praise. His Yanni was smart and beautiful. If it weren't for the poor family conditions, she would definitely be the first college student in Huangqiao Town after the college entrance examination was resumed.

"You think about joining the army. The new recruits have a subsidy of six yuan a month, as well as ticket subsidies. First, he can eat enough nutrition and keep up when he goes to the army. Another thing is to save your family a ration for a strong laborer." Zuo Weiguo looked at Lou Yanni, saw her shaken, and smiled slightly, "Lou Jingping has been to high school, and going to the army has a promising future than staying at home to farm."

Then, add a very heavy bargaining chip, "The commune has a recommended quota, and I plan to report Lou Jingping's name."

At this time, Zuo Weiguo would never have thought that his small decision would change everyone's destiny.
