At that time, I was still young, and my family lived in a small town, and life was uneventful. I remember it was a sunny morning, and he set out from my house to join the army. His name is Chen Qiang, a distant cousin of my family, who has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he has the strength to not admit defeat. Before leaving, he said to my sister, "When I come back, we will get married." With tears in her eyes, my sister nodded.
In the third year after Chen Qiang's promotion, he really came back, but his identity has changed to my brother-in-law. He was wearing a crisp military uniform, and his heroic posture made me a little jealous. That night, a sumptuous table of wine and food was set up at home to catch him up and wash the dust.
"Qiangzi, are you not going to leave when you come back this time?" asked the father.
"Yes, uncle, I've changed jobs, and I'll find a job here at home in the future. Chen Qiang replied.
When my sister heard this, her face flushed with happiness. However, I noticed a trace of worry flashing in Chen Qiang's eyes.
Sure enough, not long after, the conflict came. Chen Qiang learned a skill in the army and wanted to start a business in his hometown, but was opposed by his father.
"Qiangzi, you just changed jobs, let's find a stable job first. It's too risky to start a business, what if it fails?" said my father.
"Uncle, I'm not afraid of failure, I'm afraid that my life will be dull, I'm sorry for my ability. Chen Qiang said firmly.
My sister is caught in the middle, and she is in a dilemma. That night, I heard them arguing in the room.
"Chen Qiang, can you understand my father's feelings? There was a cry in my sister's voice.
"I know he's doing it for our good, but I can't give up on my dreams. Chen Qiang's voice was deep and firm.
I hid outside the door, my mind full of mixed feelings. I know Chen Qiang is an ambitious person, but I also don't want to see a lot of trouble at home because of this.
A few days later, Chen Qiang took his sister to the city, saying that he was looking for an opportunity to start a business. The father was so angry that he stomped his feet, but he couldn't do anything about him.
They worked hard in the city for a while, and finally opened a small auto repair shop. Chen Qiang relied on the technology he learned in the army to run the factory well. My father watched their lives get better and better, and he gradually became relieved.
However, life is always full of surprises. One day, I received a call from my sister saying that Chen Qiang accidentally got his hand pinched by a machine while repairing his car, and his injuries were serious.
I immediately rushed to the hospital and saw Chen Qiang lying on the bed, his face pale. My sister's eyes were red, apparently crying.
"Hadron, you must hold on. I shook his hand, filled with guilt.
Chen Qiang smiled: "It's okay, it's just a small injury, just rest for a while." ”
My sister and I took turns taking care of him while he was in the hospital. One day, Chen Qiang suddenly said to me: "Boy, do you know? Actually, I have already thought about it, if I can't survive this time, let my sister remarry, and you must live a good life." ”
I glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense, you'll be fine." ”
After Chen Qiang was discharged from the hospital, the business of the auto repair shop became more prosperous. He led the staff to expand their business and recruited a group of veterans to provide them with employment opportunities. The father watched all this, and finally let go of the mustard in his heart.
Today, Chen Qiang is the pillar of my family. Whenever I think of the time when he left my house to join the army, I feel emotional. Life is always full of twists and turns, but as long as we face it bravely, we will always usher in a better tomorrow.
The days passed in the busyness of the auto repair shop, and Chen Qiang's auto repair shop has become one of the best repair points in the county. His story inspired many people, and even his story was published in newspapers. That day, I watched Chen Qiang commanding the employees in the factory, with a confident smile on his face, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, he is really an out-and-out strong man.
In the evening, I was helping to sort out the tools, Chen Qiang came over and patted me on the shoulder: "Boy, there is a veteran party tomorrow, I'll take you with me." ”
I looked up, a little surprised, "I'm going to a veterans' party?"
"Yes, you are also a member of this family, and you should know more about our lives. His eyes were full of anticipation.
The next day, I followed Chen Qiang to the party. The stories of those veterans fascinated me. Chen Qiang's performance at the party won the respect and applause of the veterans.
On the way back, Chen Qiang suddenly said to me: "Boy, in fact, I have always had an idea that I want you to become a soldier too." ”
I was stunned, I didn't expect him to make such a suggestion: "I? But I don't know anything about being a soldier." ”
"It doesn't matter, being a soldier is not only about learning combat skills, but more importantly, learning how to be a person who stands up to the sky. Chen Qiang's eyes flashed with a glint that I couldn't speak.
I hesitated. Back at home, both his sister and father supported Chen Qiang's proposal, believing it to be a rare opportunity. That night, I lay in bed, tossing and turning, thinking about my future.
Finally, with Chen Qiang's encouragement, I decided to give it a try. After a series of selections and assessments, I successfully became a soldier. Before leaving, Chen Qiang patted me on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Boy, remember, no matter where you are, you must straighten your waist and be a person worthy of yourself and the country." ”
Life in the barracks was much harder than I had imagined, but I gritted my teeth and persevered. In the dead of night, I would think of Chen Qiang's words, and it became my driving force.
A few years later, I was discharged from the army and returned to my hometown. Chen Qiang and his sister came to pick me up, and he looked more mature and stable. My sister told me that the garage has expanded and business is getting better.
"Boy, you're finally back. Chen Qiang patted me on the shoulder vigorously, his eyes full of pride.
That night, our family sat around the dinner table and talked about how things had changed over the years. I found that Chen Qiang is not only my brother-in-law, but also my mentor in life. He told me with his actions that as long as you have a dream, you must be brave enough to pursue it.
Today, I have integrated into the life of my hometown and run an auto repair shop with Chen Qiang. Whenever I see those veterans coming to the factory, I think of my own barracks life, and my heart is full of respect.
Life is like a winding road, and Chen Qiang is like the guiding light, illuminating the direction in which I am going. On this road, we will move forward hand in hand and write our own wonderful chapter together.
The days passed quietly, and the business of the garage became busier and busier. Chen Qiang led us to continuously learn new technologies and improve service quality. His persistence and hard work have won the trust and reputation of customers.
One weekend afternoon, when I was busy in the workshop, Chen Qiang walked in, with an excited smile on his face: "Boy, there is good news, our auto repair factory has been rated as an excellent enterprise in the city, and we are going to the city to receive the award." ”
My eyes widened and I couldn't believe it was true: "Really? Great!"
Chen Qiang nodded: "This award is the result of the joint efforts of our team, and you have to thank your comrades-in-arms." ”
On the day we received the award, our whole family went to the city. At the award ceremony, Chen Qiang delivered an acceptance speech, and his words were full of gratitude to employees and vision for the future.
In the evening, we had a small celebratory evening. After the party, Chen Qiang called me aside: "Boy, I think you should go to further study and improve your professional skills." ”
I was a little surprised: "I'm going to go to further education?"
"Yes, you are still young, you should take the opportunity to learn. I helped you connect with an automotive engineering school where you can go and study. Chen Qiang's eyes were full of anticipation.
I hesitated, then nodded. I know that Chen Qiang is for my own good, and he can always give me the most correct advice.
A few months later, I said goodbye to my family and garage and came to that automotive engineering school. In school, I worked hard to learn professional knowledge, and I tried to return home as soon as possible to contribute to the auto repair shop.
One day, I received a letter from Chen Qiang. In the letter, he told me that the development of the garage had encountered some difficulties, but he was confident that we would be able to get through it. At the end of the letter, he wrote: "Boy, I believe in you, you will definitely succeed in your studies and become the pride of the auto repair shop." ”
I clutched the letter tightly, my eyes full of determination. At that moment, I understood my responsibility and mission.
Time flies, and two years later, I finished my studies with flying colors. When I returned to my hometown, I found that the auto repair shop had changed dramatically. Chen Qiang and his employees not only survived the difficulties, but also expanded new business.
"Boy, you're finally back. Chen Qiang greeted him with a smile.
I said excitedly, "Brother-in-law, I'm back, and I want to contribute my part to the auto repair shop." ”
Chen Qiang patted me on the shoulder: "Okay, let's work together to make the auto repair shop go to greater glory." ”
Since then, I've devoted myself to working in an auto repair shop. Under the leadership of Chen Qiang, we are united and cooperative, constantly innovating, and the business of the auto repair shop is thriving.
Chen Qiang is not only my brother-in-law, but also the most important mentor in my life. Under his influence, I learned to be brave in the face of difficulties and steadfast in pursuing my dreams. On this road full of challenges and hopes, we will move forward hand in hand and continue to write our own glorious chapter.
With our joint efforts, the auto repair shop has become more and more prosperous, and even attracted customers from other places. In order to better serve customers, Chen Qiang decided to open branches around the county. This decision was supported by the whole family, and we started to get busy preparing for the opening of the branch.
One day, I was preparing the equipment for the new store, Chen Qiang came over and said earnestly: "Boy, I want you to be in charge of the operation of the new store, are you willing?"
I was stunned, I didn't expect Chen Qiang to give me such an important task. I was a little nervous, but I nodded firmly: "Brother-in-law, I do." ”
Chen Qiang smiled: "I knew you wouldn't let me down." The new store will be handed over to you, and I am sure you can do it well. ”
During the preparation of the new store, I learned a lot of management knowledge, but also encountered a lot of difficulties. Whenever I encounter a problem, I am reminded of Chen Qiang's teachings, which makes me brave to face challenges. Finally, with the joint efforts of the whole family, the new store was successfully opened.
On the opening day, Chen Qiang brought the whole family to congratulate. He looked at the lively scene, and his eyes flashed with pride: "Boy, you did a great job, I didn't mistake you." ”
I smiled, feeling a sense of accomplishment. I know that all this is inseparable from Chen Qiang's support and encouragement.
The business of the new store is getting better and better, and our reputation in the county is getting louder and louder. Chen Qiang began to think about how to expand his business to other cities. One evening, our family sat around the dining table discussing future plans.
"I want to open branches in nearby cities as well to promote our brand. Chen Qiang's eyes flashed with determination.
Father nodded: "It's a good idea, we support you." ”
I looked at Chen Qiang, and my heart was full of admiration. He is always able to grasp opportunities and lead us to a better future.
After a period of preparation, our first branches in the surrounding cities were successfully opened. With the continuous expansion of business, our brand has gradually become popular in surrounding cities.
One day, Chen Qiang called me to the office and said solemnly: "Boy, I want you to be in charge of the operation of branches in surrounding cities, are you willing?"
I was stunned, I didn't expect Chen Qiang to hand over the heavy responsibility to me again. I hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly: "Brother-in-law, I do." ”
Chen Qiang smiled: "I knew you wouldn't let me down." The branches in the surrounding cities will be handed over to you, and I believe that you can do a good job. ”
I looked at Chen Qiang, and my heart was full of gratitude. Under his leadership, I grew from a hairy boy to a person who can take charge of himself. I know that all this is inseparable from his cultivation and trust.
Chen Qiang is not only my brother-in-law, but also the most important mentor in my life. Under his influence, I learned to be brave in the face of difficulties and steadfast in pursuing my dreams. On this road full of challenges and hopes, we will move forward hand in hand and continue to write our own glorious chapter.
