This story is fictional, and if there are similarities, it is purely coincidental!
In 1987, I was going to sign up for the army, however, the minimum age for recruitment at that time was 18 years old, and I was still a few months away from reaching 18 years old, but I was not reconciled, so I signed up for the test, and there were no major problems with the medical examination and other processes.
I thought I was about to be drafted into the army, but someone reported that I was under the age of 18, and my dream of joining the army was shattered.
Later, I also learned that the person who reported me was my aunt's cousin, and he later admitted that he was behind the scenes, so I couldn't be a soldier.
Now, I have also seen it and lived a wonderful life, which also makes my cousin very envious, and when I encounter anything, my cousin will take the initiative to slap me, and also take the initiative to apologize to me.

I still remember that in 1987, I had just finished junior high school and was preparing to take the high school entrance examination, but at that time, high school was not just a casual one, it was very difficult, and I was not admitted to high school because I was a few points behind.
Fortunately, my parents didn't blame me, and they actively looked for me to find a job, for example, they wanted me to work in a machine shop not far from my home. I naturally understood the kindness of my family, but they didn't understand my idea at that time - to become a soldier.
After my dad knew what I thought, he frowned, as if thinking about something, and after a while, my dad said: The minimum age to be a soldier is 18 years old, and you are only 17 years old, which is not the minimum age.
My dad's meaning was obvious, that is, it was not too late for me to go to work for a year first, and then sign up for the army. However, I was stubborn at the time and didn't pay attention to my parents' advice. My dad was so determined to sign up for the army, and he stood with me.
Subsequently, my father went to ask the village party secretary, and after the village party secretary learned what had happened, he encouraged me to sign up to see how it went. As soon as I heard this, my heart naturally blossomed, and I went to sign up on the same day.
However, when I signed up, I met my aunt's cousin, who was also signing up for the army. At that time, the number of conscription places was relatively small, and my cousin and I also formed a relatively competitive relationship.
Moreover, my cousin is two years older than me, and there is no problem with his age, but the key thing is that my cousin is relatively thin and does not look as tall and powerful as me, so the odds of winning the physical examination are still relatively high.
Sure enough, on the day of the physical examination, I passed all the indicators of the physical examination, but my cousin's physical examination did not pass.

However, it was my aunt and my cousin who came first, and they came into my house together, and then said to my father, "Your child is not yet 18 years old, how can you let him go to the army? What if the child can't stand it anymore?"
My dad immediately replied, "This is the child's dream, and he will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties." "However, the aunt and cousin were apparently weasels giving New Year's greetings to the chickens - not well-intentioned.
They saw that my dad was so resolute, so they had a showdown: "Your child is not over 18 years old, but you can't be conscripted into the army." ”
As soon as my mother heard this, she immediately said to her aunt: "Don't mess around, my child wants to be a soldier, and he said a lot of good things to the village party secretary before, and he finally passed the physical examination." ”
After that, my aunt stopped talking, and she left my house with my cousin without looking back, and this time the conversation with my aunt did not seem to be very pleasant.
However, I felt at that time that my aunt was probably not going to give up, and she should not go to the recruiting office to report me in impulse.
After I told my worries, my parents were also very worried that my aunt would report me, but they still fantasized that they were related to my aunt, and she should not go to the end of the road.
But in fact, my aunt really went out of the way, and she really reported to the recruiting office to expose the problem that my age was not up to standard. Soon, I was told that my medical examination results were invalid because I was not up to the standard of age, and there was no hope of becoming a soldier.

When I heard the news, my tears flowed unconsciously, I didn't expect my aunt to really report me.
When my family found out, they all expressed their indignation at my aunt's ruthless behavior. My mother was even more furious and took me to my aunt's house to ask for an explanation that day.
After arriving at my aunt's house, my aunt said that she didn't know about it, and there must have been some misunderstanding. However, my aunt's explanation was certainly pale and weak, and my mother's emotions became more and more excited.
At this time, my cousin stood up, and he said that he did it by himself and had nothing to do with his mother. The aunt's expression after that was also very natural, and it can be seen that when reporting me, the aunt and her son must have colluded.
And the reason why my aunt reported me was nothing more than because her son did not pass the physical examination, but I passed the physical examination, which caused an imbalance in the hearts of my aunt and cousin.
Speaking of which, there is nothing more to say, my mother took me away from my aunt's house, and said at that time that she would no longer have any contact with her aunt.
After that, I obeyed my father's arrangement and chose to go to a repair shop as a worker. And the workers are not easy to do, and a lot of dirty work has to be done. However, I am very optimistic and never tired.

However, I never imagined that the factory would not last long, and the factory then closed down and I lost my job. At this time, my parents did not rush to find me a job, but gave priority to letting me start a family.
I didn't really want to start a family at the time, but my parents wanted me to start a family, so I agreed to my parents and went on a blind date.
However, although I am quite tall on the outside, I am not good at words on the inside, and I will not please girls, so every time I go on a blind date, I don't talk much, which makes every blind date of my own unsuccessful.
I didn't plan to start a family at the time, so I wasn't discouraged, but a little lucky.
Later, I met a brother Wang who had just returned from Shenzhen, and he said that he could easily make a fortune by reselling some electronic devices in Shenzhen, and I also wanted to go to Shenzhen after listening to it.
When my parents found out what I thought, they must have been reluctant to give up, but my attitude was very resolute, which made them finally agree. So, I followed Brother Wang to Shenzhen to start a business of reselling electronic devices.
At first, there was a lot of money to be made in this industry, but as more and more people got involved in this industry, Brother Wang and I gradually stopped making money. In the end, I had no choice but to leave Brother Wang and go on my own.
Fortunately, I had worked in a machine shop for several years, which allowed me to master a lot of skills, and I also found a machine shop in Shenzhen, which was quickly appreciated by my boss.
Moreover, the salary in Shenzhen is much higher than in my hometown, not to mention the salary of a skilled worker like me. After that, I put the first pot of gold I earned into the real estate industry, and then I made more money.
Then I bought a house in Shenzhen, married a wife and had children, and soon after, I also brought my parents to live in Shenzhen. However, just a few months after my parents came to Shenzhen, they showed great discomfort, and they both wanted to go back to their hometown.
As a result, I sent my parents back to my hometown, but my parents were old and there was no one around to take care of them, which made me very uneasy, so I chose to accompany my parents back to my hometown, and starting a business in my hometown was also a way.
And my aunt's son, that is, my cousin, was naturally very envious when he saw me driving a luxury car, often scolded me, and even took the initiative to apologize for reporting me back then. And I am not a very vindictive person, and I chose to forgive him.
