Put down the steel gun and take the hoe: the ordinary new journey of the demobilized soldiers

It was a sunny morning, and I took off my uniform, put down the steel gun that had been with me for many years, and picked up the unfamiliar hoe. I, from a warrior, became an ordinary peasant. It's not easy, but I know it's a new journey.

"Li Tiezhu, have you really decided?" the village chief glared at me with wide eyes, his expression incredulous.

"It's decided, village chief. When the country needed me, I carried a gun to defend my country, and now that the country is stable, I will start a new life. I patted my chest and said firmly.

"But it's not easy to farm, isn't your martial arts a waste?" the village chief's tone was full of worry.

"It's not going to be wasted, and I believe it can work anywhere. I replied with a smile.

A new life began, and I went out early and returned late every day, working hard. However, the reality is not as rosy as I imagined. The crops in the fields did not grow, and the grain harvest was not good. I was in a hurry, but there was nothing I could do.

One day, I was weeding in the field when I suddenly noticed several figures sneaking around in the distance. I immediately became alert, picked up my hoe, and crept closer to them.

"What are you doing?" I asked aloud.

The men were startled and turned around to run. I caught up with them in a few steps and grabbed one of them.

"Say, are you here to steal the crop?" I glared at him.

"No, no, we're just coming to see. The guy replied tremblingly.

"Look, what's there, there's nothing to see here!" I widened.

After some interrogation, I learned that these people were actually "crop men" from a nearby village, who saw that my crops were not growing well and wanted to take advantage of them.

I was furious, but on second thought, they were forced to do this because of life. So, I decided to teach them how to farm and improve the harvest together.

After my guidance, their crops grew better and better, and the conflicts between us were gradually resolved. We also formed a cooperative to help each other and get rich together.

Just as the days of our cooperative were getting more and more prosperous, a sudden flood destroyed our crops. In the face of this catastrophic blow, everyone fell into despair.

"We can't just give up!" I said loudly as I stood on the land after the flood, encouraging everyone loudly.

"Li Tiezhu, you're right, we can't give up!" the villagers responded.

So, we worked together to carry out production to save ourselves. After hard work, we finally overcame the flood and replanted the seeds of hope.

This is the new journey for me, a demobilized fighter. Although it is full of twists and turns, as long as we have faith in our hearts, no difficulties can stop us from moving forward. In this ordinary new journey, I have found my own value, and I have also gained a lot of emotion and hope.

After the floods, our lives gradually returned to peace. The members of the cooperative are more united, and we work together to revitalize the land that was washed away by the floods. In the process, I discovered a new problem – the lack of education for the children in the village.

"Tiezhu, what will happen to these children?" said the village chief to me worriedly.

"Yes, village chief, we can't let the children go back to our old ways. I replied with a frown.

After some thought, I decided to use what I had learned in the army to run an evening school for the children in the village. So, I worked during the day and volunteered to teach the children at night.

The opening of evening schools caused quite a stir. Parents have sent their children in the hope that they can learn something and change their fate. Looking at the children's eyes thirsty for knowledge, my heart was filled with a sense of responsibility.

"Teacher Li, what is the Great Wall?" a child asked, raising his hand.

I smiled and said affectionately: "The Great Wall is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient working people of the mainland, it has witnessed the historical changes of the Chinese nation, and symbolized the tenacity and indomitability of the Chinese nation. ”

"Can we go to the Great Wall then?" asked another child curiously.

"Of course, as long as you study hard, you will definitely be able to realize this dream in the future. "I encourage them.

During the night school days, I taught the children not only cultural knowledge, but also military skills, so that they could learn self-discipline and unity. Gradually, the children changed, their eyes became brighter and their personalities became more resilient.

One day, a few strangers came to the village, dressed in suits and leather shoes, dressed as city people. They approached me and said they had an investment project and wanted me to help.

"Li Tiezhu, we heard that you are running a night school here, and we think you are a very responsible person. We want to invest in a school here to benefit more children. One of the strangers said.

My eyes widened and I couldn't believe my ears. This news is undoubtedly great news for me.

"Really, that's great! As long as I can make the children have a better learning environment, I'm willing to do my best. I shook his hand excitedly.

After some preparation, the foundation stone of the school was finally laid. Looking at the sign that said "Hope Elementary School", my heart was filled with pride. This school not only fulfilled the children's dreams of studying, but also fulfilled the dreams in my heart.

Today, I am still the demobilized soldier, but my new journey is no longer just farming. I have more responsibilities on my shoulders and I will do my best to give my children a better future.

In this new journey, I have experienced the ups and downs of life, and I have also felt the joy of giving and reaping. I believe that as long as there is love in the heart, any difficulty is no longer a problem. In this ordinary and challenging new journey, I will continue to work hard to write my own story.

The construction of Hope Primary School is in full swing, and I have found a new mission in this land. When night falls, I insist on going to night school, and I am very pleased with the children's enthusiasm despite the poor conditions.

On a cold winter day, the night school classroom was as warm as spring, and the children were listening attentively. I was explaining math when suddenly, a sharp knock on the door broke the silence of the classroom.

"Teacher Li, Teacher Li, it's no good! The landslide in the north of the village has crushed several households!" a villager shouted from outside the door.

I immediately put down the chalk in my hand and said to the children, "Stay in the classroom, don't run around, I'll go check on the situation." With that, I put on my coat and hurried to the place where the incident occurred.

When I arrived at the scene, I saw a mess. Dirt and stones have slid down, and several houses have been half-buried. The villagers rushed to save people and save people, and cleaned up the mud.

"Tiezhu, you came just in time, we don't have enough manpower!" The village chief saw me, as if he saw a savior.

"Don't panic, do what I say, you will definitely be able to rescue people!" I commanded the villagers to carry out the rescue in an orderly manner.

After several hours of fighting, we were able to rescue the trapped villagers. Seeing that they were safe and sound, a stone in my heart fell to the ground. However, the accident made me realise that the village's infrastructure was in dire need of improvement.

"Village Chief, we have to find a way to strengthen these mountains to prevent accidents like this from happening in the future. I said to the village chief.

"You're right, Iron Pillar, we'll figure it out. The village chief nodded.

In the days that followed, I began to research mountain reinforcement methods and contacted some experts. After a lot of hard work, we finally got a special fund to improve the infrastructure in the village.

Under the guidance of experts, the villagers worked together to build a solid slope protection. Looking at those former farmers who have now become skilled craftsmen, my heart is filled with pride.

Spring is coming, and everything is coming back to life. The construction of Hope Primary School is also nearing completion, and the children in the village are about to have a new learning environment. And I have also planted new hope in this land.

One day, I was working in the fields when a child came running to me.

"Teacher Li, the school is built, when can we go to the new school?" he asked excitedly.

"Soon, soon, when everything is ready, you can go to the new school. I replied with a smile.

In the eyes of children, I see the light of the future. And I, in this new journey, have found my own new direction. I know that there is still a long way to go, but I am no longer alone, because I have the company of my children and the support of the villagers, and we move forward together to create extraordinary stories in the ordinary.

Just as we were preparing for the unveiling of the new school, a sudden downpour of rain plunged the entire village. The flood is coming again, and it's coming hard.

"Teacher Li, the flood is coming, what are we going to do?" a child looked at me nervously, his eyes full of fear.

"Don't be afraid, children, we have to be strong. I comforted them, "Everyone hurry home, take refuge in high places, and don't go near the river." ”

I quickly evacuated with my children to a safe place and then joined the villagers in the flood relief operation. We moved sandbags, built dikes, and did everything we could to protect our homes.

In this fight against the flood, we have experienced countless hardships and challenges. Some villagers' homes were destroyed and some crops were damaged, but everyone did not give up, but supported each other to tide over the difficulties.

After several days of hard work, the flood waters finally receded. Although the village has suffered serious losses, I am extremely proud of our solidarity in overcoming this difficult time.

"Iron Pillar, thanks to you, we were able to get through this time. The village chief said with emotion.

"It's not me, it's the result of everyone's efforts. I replied modestly.

After the floods, we started to rebuild our homes. With the help of the government and all sectors of society, we have accelerated the pace of recovery. Soon, the village was transformed and Hope Primary School finally welcomed its first students.

The spacious and bright classrooms of the new school provide a better learning environment for the children. Watching them swim in the ocean of knowledge fills my heart with joy.

"Mr. Li, we will definitely study hard and live up to your expectations. One child said seriously.

"Well, children, as long as you are willing to work hard, the future will be better. "I encourage them.

As time passed, the children excelled academically and the village gradually regained its former life. The hope we have planted in this land is thriving.

And I, in this ordinary and challenging new journey, have found the value of my life. I am no longer just a demobilized fighter, but also an educator and a leader. In this land, I grew up with my children and pursued our dreams together.

I know that there is still a long way to go, but with faith and courage, nothing is impossible. In this ordinary and extraordinary new journey, we will continue to work hard to write our own wonderful chapter.
