My name is Dajun, and eight years ago, my cousin Xiaogang resolutely went to join the army. Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, Xiao Gang has been a soldier for eight years. Yesterday, I suddenly received a phone call from the driver of Xiao Gang's agency.
"Dajun, I'm Xiaogang's driver, and I have something to tell you. The voice on the other end of the line seemed a little hurried.
"What's the matter?" you say slowly. My heart tightened, and I suddenly had a sense of foreboding.
"Xiao Gang was injured while on a mission and is now in the hospital. The driver's words shook my heart and nervously asked, "Is it seriously injured?"
"I don't know the specifics, so you can come quickly. After the driver finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
I immediately packed my things and rushed to the hospital. On the way, I kept praying that Xiaogang would never have an accident.
When I arrived at the hospital, I saw Xiao Gang lying on the bed with an oxygen mask on his face and a thick bandage around his left arm. I walked over and called his name softly: "Xiao Gang, Xiao Gang......"
Xiao Gang slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw me, he tried to squeeze out a smile: "Brother, why are you here?"
"You're hurt, can I not come to see you?" I said, holding back tears, pretending to be light-hearted.
"Brother, don't worry, I'm fine. Xiao Gang tried to comfort me.
At that moment, a doctor walked in and said solemnly, "You are a family member of the patient, right? I must tell you that the patient's injuries were very serious, his left arm was broken, and his head was struck, which caused a concussion. We need to operate on him right away or risk his life. ”
Hearing the news, I was like five thunderbolts, but Xiao Gang comforted me in turn: "Brother, don't be afraid, I will definitely be able to survive." ”
Outside the operating room, I waited anxiously. At this time, a young man in a military uniform came over and introduced himself: "My name is Li Yong, and I am Xiaogang's comrade-in-arms. This mission is carried out together. ”
I grabbed Li Yong's hand and asked eagerly, "What the hell is going on, how could Xiao Gang get hurt?"
Li Yong sighed and said, "We were on a secret mission, but we didn't expect to encounter an enemy ambush. In order to protect me, Xiao Gang rushed to the front, and the result was ......"
Hearing this, the guilt and self-blame in my heart welled up in my heart. If I could have stopped Xiao Gang from becoming a soldier, maybe none of this would have happened.
Just as I was in pain, the door to the operating room opened. The doctor told us that the operation was successful, but Xiao Gang still needs to be observed in the intensive care unit for a while.
I breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li Yong: "Thank you for telling me the truth, I will accompany Xiaogang through this difficult time." ”
Li Yong nodded and said, "I believe that Xiao Gang will definitely survive." He is the hero of our company. ”
In this way, I began to accompany Xiaogang in the hospital. During this time, I deeply realized the greatness and dedication of soldiers. I am proud to have a cousin like Xiaogang, and I pray that he can overcome his illness.
After a period of treatment, Xiao Gang finally recovered. He told me that while the injury was painful for him, he never regretted his choice. Because he knows that as a soldier, it is his mission to protect his family and defend the country.
And I also learned to be brave and strong from Xiaogang. This experience has deepened the bond between our brothers. Since then, we have worked together to face the ups and downs of life together.
In the days after Xiaogang recovered, the two of us often chatted together, recalling the bits and pieces of his time as a soldier. One day, he suddenly said to me, "Brother, I want to go back and see our company's comrades-in-arms." ”
I looked at his determined eyes, and knew in my heart that there were memories and responsibilities that he could not let go. I nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
In this way, we returned to the company where Xiao Gang had fought. Our comrades-in-arms greeted us warmly, and their eyes were full of respect and concern for Xiao Gang. Xiao Gang also seemed to have returned home, talking and laughing with everyone, as if he had never left.
In the company, we went to a special party. At the party, Xiao Gang's comrade-in-arms Li Yong took out a pennant with the words: "To the loveliest comrade-in-arms, thank you for everything you have done for us." ”
Xiao Gang took the pennant, with tears in his eyes, and said excitedly: "This is my honor, and it is also the honor of all of us." We are all for the country, for the people, for peace. ”
That night, Xiao Gang talked to me about his future: "Brother, I want to continue to contribute to the country, but I don't know if I can return to the battlefield. ”
I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiaogang, no matter which path you choose, I will support you." You are already the pride of this family and the pride of the country. ”
It didn't take long for Xiao Gang to receive a special gift - a certificate of honor. It turned out that he was heroically wounded in the line of duty and was awarded a first-class meritorious service. This honor made Xiao Gang more determined in his belief.
One day, Xiao Gang received a phone call from his old company commander. The company commander told him that there was a special mission that required his participation. Xiao Gang didn't say a word, and immediately agreed.
Before leaving, I sent him to the door and advised: "Xiaogang, you must pay attention to safety, we are all waiting for you at home." ”
Xiao Gang smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will." Then he turned away and threw himself into a new task again.
And I, at home, silently prayed for him, hoping that he would complete his mission soon and return safely. During those days, I often remembered what Xiao Gang said: "It is my mission to protect my family and defend the country." ”
Finally, Xiao Gang successfully completed the task and returned home safely. He told me that this mission made him more aware of the responsibilities and responsibilities of soldiers.
Once again, we brothers join hands to face the ups and downs of life together. And Xiao Gang continues to contribute his strength to the country and the people in the army.
Time flies, we are no longer young, but that faith and mission have always been engraved in our hearts. We firmly believe that as long as there is love and responsibility in our hearts, the flame of life will never be extinguished.
As the days passed, Xiao Gang's performance in the army became better and better, and his story became a legend of the company. One day, he suddenly brought back news that the company was going to select a group of outstanding fighters to participate in international military competitions. There was a glint of excitement in his eyes, and I knew it was an opportunity for him to prove himself.
"Brother, I'm going to sign up. Xiao Gang's eyes were firm and confident.
I looked at him, proud of him and a little worried: "This is a big stage, are you ready?"
Xiao Gang nodded: "After all these years of grinding, I believe I am ready." I want the world to see the demeanor of Chinese soldiers. ”
The day of the game was coming soon, and the whole family sweated for Xiao Gang. On the day of the game, I was in front of the TV, staring intently at the screen. When I saw Xiao Gang's heroic posture on the field, and every outstanding performance won the applause of the audience, my heart was full of pride.
After the competition, Xiao Gang brought home a gold medal. He smiled and said, "Brother, I have lived up to everyone's expectations. ”
I hugged him into my arms and said with emotion: "Xiaogang, you are our pride and the pride of the country. ”
This competition changed the trajectory of Xiao Gang's life, and he began to participate in more international military exchange activities. His vision is getting broader and broader, but his original intention has never changed, that is, for the country and the people.
One day, Xiao Gang received an urgent mission to go to a war-torn country to carry out a peacekeeping mission. When he told me the news, I was full of concern, but I knew that it was his duty as a soldier.
"Xiao Gang, this mission is full of dangers, you must protect yourself. I held his hand tightly and said reluctantly.
Xiao Gang smiled and comforted me: "Brother, don't worry, I will return safely." ”
On the day of the farewell, the whole family went to the airport. Xiao Gang wore a neat military uniform and carried a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He waved goodbye to us, and at that moment, I felt as if he had grown up, no longer the impulsive teenager he used to be.
After Xiao Gang left, the days at home became unusually quiet. I follow the news every day and worry about what is happening to him from afar. Finally, a few months later, Xiao Gang successfully completed the peacekeeping mission and returned safely.
At the airport, I hugged him tightly, and tears couldn't help but flow: "Xiaogang, you're finally back." ”
Xiao Gang smiled and wiped away my tears: "Brother, aren't I fine? Don't worry." ”
This experience made Xiao Gang more mature, and he also understood his mission better. We, brothers, continue to move forward hand in hand, on our respective paths of life, for the faith and responsibility in our hearts, and never give up.
In the days when Xiao Gang returned home, our family was full of gratitude and admiration for him. We are very proud of his bravery and strength. And Xiao Gang also seems to cherish the time with his family even more, and he often reminisces with us about the past and tells about his time in the barracks.
One day, Xiao Gang suddenly proposed: "Brother, let's go see grandpa, he hasn't seen me for a long time." ”
I nodded, feeling a little guilty. Since my grandfather got sick, we have been busy with work and have rarely had time to visit him. So, we decided to go see Grandpa together.
Grandpa saw us with a relieved smile on his face. He held Xiao Gang's hand tightly and said, "Xiao Gang, you are a good person, you have made such a great contribution to the country, grandpa is proud of you." ”
Xiao Gang smiled shyly and said, "Grandpa, this is what I should do." ”
We had a lovely afternoon in Grandpa's hospital room. We talked a lot and reminisced about our childhood. Those good memories make us forget the time, as if we have gone back in time.
However, the good times are always short-lived. Xiao Gang received a phone call that he was going back to the army again. I looked at the back of Xiao Gang leaving, and I felt a little reluctant, but I was also proud of him.
After Xiaogang left, I often thought of him. I often look at his pictures and reminisce about the times we spent together. I know that Xiao Gang will definitely think of us in the army and the happy times we spent together.
Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Gang is about to take a vacation again. I prepared a great dinner for him in advance and looked forward to spending quality time with him.
That day, Xiao Gang wore a handsome military uniform and returned home with a smile on his face. We ate and chatted at the same time. Xiao Gang told me that his life in the army was very fulfilling, he learned a lot of new knowledge, and he also made a lot of new friends.
I looked at Xiao Gang, and my heart was full of relief. I know that he is growing into a good soldier and that he is working hard to achieve his dreams. I'm proud of his growth and I'm excited about his future.
On this intimate evening, we sat together as a family and shared the joy of family. We talk about the past and look forward to the future. We believe that as long as we have love and responsibility in our hearts, our lives will be full of sunshine.
Xiao Gang's vacation soon ended, and he was going back to the army. I sent him to the door, hugged him tightly, and said, "Xiaogang, you must take care of yourself, we are waiting for you to return safely." ”
Xiao Gang smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will." Then he turned away and threw himself into a new task again.
I looked at his back, full of anticipation. I know that Xiao Gang will continue to work hard in the army and work hard to realize his dream. And I will silently pray for him at home, looking forward to his early return.
