I'm 70 years old, but it's still interesting to think about the first time I met my wife, and if it wasn't for that accident, we wouldn't have come together.
I was just 19 years old and was supposed to help the family in the fields like other young people, but at that time my parents were convinced that I could become a literate person and a teacher in the future.
So I was sent to school since I was a child, and my friends often laughed at me when they saw it, because in the countryside at that time, they all thought that they had time to study, and they didn't want to do more work on the ground.
In addition, I was the only boy in the family, and my parents took a fancy to me very much, but in the face of the ridicule of my friends, I gradually became rebellious.
So after graduating from high school, there was an opportunity to become a teacher, but I just gave up, because I thought that instead of letting me become a teacher, it would be better for me to follow the army and become a soldier.
When my parents heard my idea, they directly refused: "You are just a boy at home, if you go out to serve in the army, what should we do if something goes wrong." ”
After hearing my parents' words, I already thought of such a result, since my parents can't make sense here, then I will go to my grandparents, they have loved me very much since I was a child, and I agreed to say anything.
I soon started to do the ideological work of my grandparents again, and sure enough, it was easy to make sense here, and this time I didn't care about my parents, just waiting for the news of the conscription to come and go for a physical examination.
The physical examination passed very smoothly, and the next step was to wait for the home visit to the political trial, seeing that the day was getting closer and closer, my parents still knew the news that I was going to join the army.
directly refused this request, and told my grandparents about my worries, seeing that the old couple was about to be moved, I hurriedly stopped it: "I'm already an adult, can you let me make a decision by myself." ”
After hearing this, they really stopped arguing, but just looked at me worriedly, after all, being a soldier is still very hard, even if it is already a peaceful era, but the training in peacetime is also very hard.
At this time, I finally understood my family's worries, but I would rather go to the army and suffer than be protected by my family all the time, so I didn't obey my family this time.
Seeing my firm attitude, my parents had no choice but to agree, and on the day of the home visit, after the army came to the door, my parents did not say a word, and they could see their sad expressions.
In order to enter the army smoothly, I took someone to introduce me throughout the whole process, and before leaving, I was very uncertain, because of the performance of my family, I was very worried that I would not pass.
In order to ensure that I could become a soldier, I wrote a letter explaining the real situation at home and showing my determination to become a soldier.
When the troops came to visit the village the next day, I handed the letter to the troops, and after I handed over the letter, I wanted to explain my intentions again, but I couldn't say anything.
I just hurriedly handed over the letter, and soon the results of the home visit came out, and I was not selected, but my friend was lucky to be chosen.
At first, I didn't know that my friend had also signed up for the army, but when it was announced, I found out that I looked at his excited expression and had to congratulate him with a wry smile.
When he learned that I was not selected, he could only encourage me to continue next year, and I had to accept this comfort.
But when my family learned that I was not selected, they were all relieved, and they also said that there is still a chance to become a teacher, and the job of a teacher is more stable.
My parents didn't push me to work, they just told me a word, and this time I really listened, and I began to hesitate.
I started to think that maybe the teacher would be a good choice, but just when I was hesitating, my friend suddenly found me: "Do you still want to be a soldier now?"
I'm stunned by a question, but if this question had been put before, I would have answered it without hesitation, but now I really have to think about it.
Before I could say anything, he continued: "Now there is a good opportunity, remember the last time you sent the letter? ”
I was very surprised when I heard it, I didn't expect that the letter I had carefully handed over was actually seen, and it happened that one of the recruits felt too tired and chose to go home directly, which made a place vacant.
I didn't expect such a great opportunity to wait for me, and if I hesitated any longer, I would really have to wait until the next year to go through the process again.
So I agreed without hesitation, and when I got home, I couldn't wait to tell the news to my family, and my parents were very surprised when they heard it, but they couldn't help it.
In this way, I finally fulfilled my dream, after arriving in the army, the training was not an ordinary hardship, and I could fall asleep directly by lying in bed and closing my eyes every day.
I can finally understand why some people can't persevere, but I think these hardships are nothing, as long as I can persevere, I can stay.
With this in mind, I successfully passed the training and officially became a soldier, but I was far inferior to those veterans in terms of ability and experience.
So as long as I have the opportunity, I will go to ask for advice, and when I encounter something I don't understand, I also learn with an open mind, every day is such a day, I didn't expect it to be really useful.
During a field training, the veteran who led the team appointed me as a squad leader, which was the first official rank I had obtained since I became a soldier.
I was very surprised, and I thought it was a trust in me, but it also meant that I had more responsibilities to take on, and now I have to be worthy of not only myself, but also my brothers.
When we were training outside, we stayed overnight in a family's house that night, and only Uncle Liu and his daughter were at home, and they learned that we were going to spend the night here, so they packed up a room.
But one room is not enough for so many of us, so someone had to lay on the floor, and this position was borne by me, and I found some straw, and it was not cold to spread on the floor.
In the end, I slept near the door, and when I saw everyone lying down, I slept peacefully.
But in the second half of the night, I suddenly felt a stomachache, maybe it was sleeping at the door with a cool breeze, which woke me up directly, I did it carefully, thinking about going to the toilet.
After opening the door, it was dark outside, and I relied on the memory of the day to find the location of the latrine, and before entering, I took a special look, and found that the lights in the room were all turned off, thinking that there should be no one inside.
So I opened the door directly, who knew that there was a scream that followed, which startled me, and I looked inside and found that it was Xiao Liu inside.
After Xiao Liu saw that it was me, he didn't say anything, put on his pants and ran into the house, at this time I couldn't care about other things, and quickly got into the toilet.
Because we stayed here for one night, Uncle Liu got up the next morning to see us off, and I didn't see Xiao Liu after looking around, thinking that maybe I scared her last night.
I thought that I would take this opportunity to apologize to her today, but in the current situation, Xiao Liu may not want to see me, so I had to keep up with the large army and continue to move forward.
Who knows how far we didn't go out, I heard someone following behind, and when I looked back, it was Xiao Liu who came in a hurry, she stuffed a note into my hand, and then left without looking back.
I looked at Xiao Liu's back, looked at the note in my hand, and didn't know what she wanted to express, but the brothers around me began to coax after seeing it.
I had no choice but to pass with a sloppy eye and quickly put away the note, and along the way, I was wondering what Xiao Liu meant.
When I got to the next resting place, I went to the toilet and found a hidden place to secretly open a note, which said: "You have to pay me for my pants." ”
In just one sentence, I laughed out loud when I saw it, I didn't expect to send me a note in such a hurry, it was just for a pair of pants.
I smiled and put the note away, thinking to myself that if I had the chance, I would buy her a new pair of pants and send them to her.
I've always remembered it, and when I got back from this session, I started looking forward to the holidays because I had to deliver on my promises.
Finally waited for my first vacation, although it was not long, but it was still enough for me to run back and forth, I took the money, went to the clothing store in the county, and carefully selected a pair of pants.
After getting it, I bought something for Uncle Liu and started to rush to Uncle Liu's house, along the way, I was very much looking forward to seeing Xiao Liu again, I don't know if she would be reluctant to see me this time.
I relied on my memory to successfully find Uncle Liu's door, and after opening the door, Uncle Liu also felt very surprised, and hurriedly welcomed me into the house, and said: "Since you left, Xiao Liu has often sat at the door, and I still think about when you will come again." ”
When I heard it, I hurriedly looked around, but I still didn't see Xiao Liu's figure, so I asked Uncle Liu where Xiao Liu had gone.
Uncle Liu just waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about that girl, this point should be to go grocery shopping and prepare to finish cooking." ”
After I heard it, I put the things in my hand in the house first, Uncle Liu hurriedly waved his hand and said no, I said that this is all a little bit of my heart, thank you for taking it in that night.
Just when the two of us shirked each other, Xiao Liu came back, she was stunned at first when she saw me, and then she seemed to remember something, so she hurried into the house.
I was a little embarrassed to stand where I was, but I couldn't stay here for too long, and Uncle Liu insisted on leaving me for dinner, but I was worried that I would be late to return to the army, so I refused.
In the face of such a situation, Uncle Liu didn't stay much, in this process, Xiao Liu didn't say a word the whole time, and when I was about to leave, she suddenly said that she wanted to send me.
I didn't refuse, so I answered, Xiao Liu sent me to the door, at this time there were only two of us left, I took out the new pants and handed them to Xiao Liu.
Xiao Liu glanced at it, took it with a smile, and whispered thank you, I hurriedly said: "It should be me to say thank you to you, after all, I did it wrong that day." ”
Xiao Liu just smiled and didn't say anything after hearing it, I saw that the time was not early, so I said that I was going to rush back to the army, and Xiao Liu stood at the door and watched me leave.
When I walked farther and farther, she suddenly shouted, "I'll wait for you to come back." ”
Until this moment, I finally understood the meaning of the note that Xiao Liu gave me that day, and I also secretly made up my mind that I would not be disappointed by Xiao Liu.
The days in the army passed quickly, and I was usually given a job after I was discharged from the army, but because I was a rural household registration and my family happened to have land, I still returned to the days of farming.
But not long after I returned home, I received a notice that the minister who had recruited me to join the army thought that I had worked hard for so many years and was very down-to-earth, so he arranged a job for me.
I was really pleasantly surprised when I got the news, and the first thing I did when I got home was to tell my parents the news, and then I took the time to find Xiao Liu and share the joy with her.
After the two met this time, there was no previous cramped feeling at all, but I saw that she seemed a little unhappy, so I asked her what happened.
It turned out that not long after I left last time, Xiao Liu's father asked her to go on a blind date, and after getting married, he could be clean and didn't have to worry about Xiao Liu's affairs anymore.
But Xiao Liu didn't agree at all, and later, under Lao Liu's questioning, Xiao Liu told what happened that day, and said that he had made up his mind.
Hearing this, I was stunned, looked at Xiao Liu very nervously, and asked her what her father thought of me, but I didn't expect Lao Liu to have guessed, but because I was a soldier at that time, there were too many unstable factors in the future.
I finally understood when I heard this, it turned out that this was a matter of agreeing to the two of us, and suddenly I reacted, and I didn't take anything this time, so I thought about hurrying to buy some, otherwise it would be too bad to go empty-handed.
Xiao Liu looked at my nervous appearance and smiled, she said that I didn't need to prepare anything, just need someone to go, and said that she would pull me home.
After entering, I saw Lao Liu hurriedly call uncle, he stepped forward and patted me on the shoulder and said, "After that, my daughter will be handed over to you, there is such a girl in the family, you have to treat her well." ”
When I heard this, I hurriedly nodded in agreement, and said that now I have a serious job, and I will definitely take Xiao Liu to live a good life in the future.
After this side was confirmed, it didn't take long for me to bring Xiao Liu home and let her meet my parents, but I didn't expect my parents to be very satisfied with Xiao Liu, and this family affair was quickly settled.
After marriage, Xiao Liu's life with me is getting better and better, and I have successfully bought a house in the county, and I have a son and a daughter after marriage.
Who would have thought that the meeting between the two of us would be due to an accident, but if it weren't for this accident, maybe we would have missed it directly in this life.
