Chapter 72: The twists and turns of the big cousin

In July, my brother finally had summer vacation. Considering that Tang Xin was about to go to elementary school, there might be less opportunities to return to the old house in the future, so Tang's father and Tang's mother discussed letting Tang Xin and his brother go to the old house to stay during the summer vacation. It would be nice to spend some time with the two elders.

It just so happened that Tang's mother was preparing to start a new research department with her teacher Qian Lao. She was also very busy and had no time to take care of her children. Therefore, Tang's mother readily agreed to this. After soliciting the opinions of her two children, she took advantage of the break. On that day, Tang's father and Tang's mother packed up the children and sent them back to their old home.

The second elder and the eldest aunt of the Tang family welcomed the arrival of the two children with both hands. What's even more exciting is that the second aunt called and said that she was going back to Beijing on a business trip in two days and planned to take all three children back. The children had not seen their grandpa and grandma for a long time, and she wanted them to take advantage of this holiday to spend more time with them. Grandpa and grandma get close.

Now the two elders of the Tang family are even happier, smiling every day, looking forward to the return of their grandchildren.

A few days after Tang Xin arrived at the old house, Jiang Wenbai came to say goodbye to her, because his grandfather and grandmother planned to send him back to his parents for a while during this summer vacation. He was studying with his grandfather and grandmother in Beijing, and he hadn't seen him for a long time. His parents are married, so he plans to spend time with them this summer vacation. After bidding farewell to Jiang Wenbai, Tang Xin began to look forward to the arrival of her second aunt.

Good news came one after another. The eldest uncle and eldest aunt finally agreed to the eldest cousin's request and agreed to let him serve as a soldier. Regarding this, the cousin was so happy that he finally got what he wanted.

The eldest aunt sighed when she talked to Tang's mother in private about this matter. One time, Tang Xin went to the kitchen to find something to eat, and happened to meet the eldest aunt and her mother talking about this matter, so she eavesdropped.

"Brother and sister, why do you think this child is so stubborn? He insists on becoming a soldier. Now is the peaceful era, and there is no need for him to rush to the front to defend the family and the country. It is not good for him to go to work honestly next to his parents in Beijing. Really?" The eldest aunt put down the vegetables she was picking and couldn't help but sigh.

"Zhan Yi (first cousin), this kid is with the Old Tang family. Do you think any of the men in the Old Tang family are not stubborn? That's the one in my family. He seems to have a good personality, but if he really wants to be more serious, that's it. I don't dare to offend him." Thinking of her husband, Tang's mother couldn't help but smile and shake her head, and continued: "When the children grow up, they have their own ideas. Our father and eldest brother are both soldiers, and Zhan Yi is here. Growing up in such an environment, it is inevitable to be affected. Not to mention Zhanyi, isn’t my Zhanbo also clamoring to join the army after graduating from high school?”

"Sister-in-law, you don't know that during those years when your eldest brother was on the front line, I really couldn't eat or sleep every day. Just two years ago, if it weren't for the two children and the sugar baby who accompanied me, I wouldn't be able to sleep. I'm really afraid that I won't be able to hold on. If it weren't for the sugar baby, your eldest brother..." As if realizing what she said was wrong, the eldest aunt quickly stopped and looked around and no one noticed them.

Then he said: "If this was before the founding of the People's Republic of China, I would definitely support him if he wanted to join the army, but now that the country is stable, where will he be needed? Parents just want their children to be safe, but Why don’t they understand?”

"Sister-in-law, you also said that everything is stable now, and there are not so many dangers, so there is no need to worry too much. As the old saying goes, the grandchildren here will have their own children and grandchildren. After he has experienced a few years, let the elder brother think of a way to bring him back. , isn’t that good? He is a boy and always wants to go out on his own to make a living." Tang’s mother comforted him.

"Oh, parents are always stubborn about their own children. I also look away. If he wants to go, just go. When he grows up, he will understand how we feel as parents." The eldest aunt also knows that nothing can be changed. She could only accept the decision of her son and husband, especially the support of Mr. Tang. Besides, the third brother and sister were right. They were all stable now. There were not as many dangers in joining the army as before, so she could do it. Have a snack.

In late July, my cousin passed the physical examination and political review, and he can report to the army as a new recruit in mid-August. As a staff member in the system, my uncle asked the people in the recruitment office that the recruits will come in August. According to the recruitment unit information, it is estimated that my cousin will most likely be assigned to the Kunming Military Region in the south.

So far, the area under the jurisdiction of this military region is relatively stable, with no war or danger. The eldest aunt is finally at ease.

Within two days, the second aunt came back with her three cousins, and the house became even more lively. The eldest cousin was all worried. These days, he started exercising with his brothers at home every day, saying that he wanted to prepare for joining the army in advance. In preparation, my brothers followed suit and practiced very vigorously. Every morning I see the six grandsons of Lao Tang's family running around the compound and exercising.

Slowly, other boys in the compound also joined the team one after another. All the boys in the compound were soldiers. Of course, they were happy to see this scene. They all exaggerated how good their cousin was and asked their children to learn more from him.

The second aunt finally finished her work, and the eldest aunt and the second aunt agreed that they would be free tomorrow to take them to see the newly bought house.

"It just so happens that you came back this time and went to see the new house. You haven't even seen this house before I bought it. You guys are really relieved."

"Yes, I have the same plan when I come back this time. We can rest assured that my eldest brother and sister-in-law are here to watch over us." The second aunt said to the eldest aunt.

"Okay, if you're not satisfied after seeing the house tomorrow, you have to hold it in for a while." The eldest aunt accepted the compliments from her younger siblings with peace of mind.

"I'm sure I'm not dissatisfied. I'll take the children with me tomorrow. Let's go to the third child's house and meet them. How about giving them a meal, sister-in-law?" the second aunt said, holding the eldest aunt's arm.

"I think it's good. Let's make a surprise attack tomorrow to give them a surprise." The eldest aunt said in agreement, then turned to Mrs. Tang and said, "Mom, you can go with us tomorrow. You happen to be a good boy too." There’s no time to visit Sugar Baby’s aunt.”

"Well, I think it's okay. If it's too late tomorrow, we can all live in the third child's place. Anyway, his place is big and enough to live in." Old Mrs. Tang nodded in agreement with a smile.

Mr. Tang turned his head and glanced at his wife, then turned his head silently, leaving me behind again.

The cousins ​​were very happy to know about tomorrow's schedule, especially my brother. He told his cousins ​​that when he went home tomorrow, he would show his cousins ​​his recent collection of treasures and his new schoolbag.

Tang Xin is also very happy. The eldest aunt and her family have already been to her house, but the second aunt and her family have not been there yet. She must greet everyone well tomorrow.

Until bedtime, Tang Xin was still thinking about how to entertain her cousins ​​and aunts.

That night, Tang Xin had another dream.

She dreamed about her eldest cousin. When she went back to see the new house tomorrow, her eldest cousin accidentally sprained his foot. Her eldest uncle advised him that there would be another batch of conscripts in September. He could wait and go to the second batch of conscripts, but But my cousin was very insistent. Before he was fully healed, he forced himself to follow the troops who came to pick up the new recruits in August.

My cousin was really assigned to the Kunming Military Region. After arriving in the army, he was assigned to the border patrol unit. However, not long after he arrived at the station, a large-scale conflict broke out at the border, which had been stable. Although he was quickly dismissed by me, The army solved it, but the cousin was seriously injured in this battle. His left leg was seriously injured and he was forced to have it amputated.

He was only 18 years old, and his life had just begun. The eldest cousin couldn't accept it for a while, and he became very decadent. In the dream, the eldest aunt cried so hard that she always resented the eldest uncle for agreeing to join the army. The eldest uncle and grandpa were also very angry. Blame yourself.

After waking up from the dream, Tang Xin couldn't help but sigh. My cousin had such a hard life. He wanted to be a soldier but had to go with the first batch of conscripts. In the end, he was seriously injured and became disabled. This person still needs to listen to advice. Sometimes the setbacks God gives you are not necessarily hardships, but may be to protect you.

How should I say this to help my cousin avoid this disaster? Tang Xin began to feel worried again.
