I, named Li Tiezhu, wore a big red flower on my chest in 1990 and set foot on the road to enlist in the army. I was twenty years old, the age of my flesh and blood. My love, Xiao Fang, with tears in her eyes, sent me on the train. We agreed that when I returned, we would get married.
Who would have thought that fate would make people. My unit suddenly received an urgent mission, and I was sent thousands of miles away for three years. In the past three years, I have missed Xiaofang all the time, and I miss the girl with two dimples when she laughs.
However, when I returned to my hometown full of expectations, I found that Xiaofang was already married. It turned out that the year after I left, her parents died in a car accident, leaving her and her young brother behind. In order to live and for her younger brother, she had no choice but to marry a wealthy family in a neighboring village.
My heart is like a knife, but I can't do anything about it. I can't blame her, she is so kind, so helpless. I can only silently bless her in my heart, hoping that she can live a good life.
That day, I was so drunk that I collapsed on the bridge at the entrance of the village. When I woke up, I found Xiaofang standing beside me, tears rippling down her eyes. She told me that her husband treated her badly and often beat and scolded her. She couldn't take it anymore and ran back with her brother.
I looked at her with pity in my heart. I said, "Xiaofang, come with me, I'll be good to you." ”
Xiao Fang nodded with tears in her eyes.
We started a new life. In order to support Xiaofang and her younger brother, I quit my job in the army, returned to my hometown, and contracted a fish pond. Every day, I get up early and work greedily at night, although it is hard, but looking at Xiaofang's smile, I feel that everything is worth it.
However, life is not always as it should be. One year, the fishpond was hit by a sudden plague, and the fish died in large numbers. I was so anxious, but Xiao Fang comforted me: "Tiezhu, don't worry, we will get through." ”
Just when we were in trouble, an elder in the village told me that there was a hot spring in the nearby mountain, and the water temperature was constant, suitable for fish farming. As if grasping at a life-saving straw, I immediately took Xiaofang to find the hot spring.
After a lot of hard work, we finally found the hot spring. With the help of the hot springs, the fish pond was brought back to life. Our lives are getting better.
However, the good times were short-lived. One day, a group of criminals broke into our fish pond in an attempt to take over our hot springs. I did not hesitate to stand up and fight them.
It was a thrilling battle. I was badly wounded, but I still held on to the hot springs. Just as I was about to fall, Xiao Fang arrived with the villagers. Together, they drove the outlaws out of the village.
I was lying on the hospital bed, Xiao Fang was by my side, tears rippling. I said, "Xiaofang, I'm sorry I didn't protect you. ”
Xiao Fang held my hand and said with a smile: "Tiezhu, don't be stupid, didn't we survive? As long as we are together, we are not afraid of any difficulties." ”
I looked at her with gratitude. Yes, as long as we are together, we are not afraid of any difficulties.
Since then, we have lived happily ever after. The fish pond is getting bigger and bigger, and our lives are getting better and better. Xiaofang's younger brother also grew up and became an excellent PLA soldier.
And I, in the dead of night, always think of those difficult days. It is love that has survived the storm, and it is love that has made us move forward bravely.
This is my story, the love story of an ordinary soldier. Although it was tortuous, it was finally complete. I think that as long as we have love in our hearts, we can overcome everything.
Over time, our fish pond became famous, attracting not only the surrounding villagers, but also the city people to experience the joy of fishing. Xiaofang's smile is also brighter, she opened a small restaurant by the fish pond, and made delicious dishes with fish raised in the hot springs, which are deeply loved by customers.
One day, an old man dressed plainly walked into the small restaurant, and he looked at the fish pond with a hint of remembrance in his eyes. Xiaofang warmly welcomed him, and the old man said with emotion: "The changes here are really great, I remember that this place was still a wasteland." ”
Xiao Fang asked curiously, "Old man, have you ever been here before?"
The old man nodded: "I have been here, and there was no fish pond here at that time, only a hot spring. I once made a wish here. ”
I stopped what I was doing, walked over and asked, "Old man, has your wish come true?"
The old man smiled and said, "It is precisely because my wish has come true that I have come to see it today." When I was younger, I made a wish here that my children and grandchildren would live happily ever after. Now, they're all doing well, so I'm coming back to see the place that once gave me hope. ”
Hearing the old man say this, Xiaofang and I looked at each other and smiled, and our hearts were full of emotion. Why don't we make a wish by the hot spring of fate and try to make it happen?
That night, the old man stayed in a small restaurant. As he parted, he shook my hand and said, "Young man, your story has inspired me a lot. Life is always full of challenges, but as long as you have love in your heart, you can overcome everything. ”
After seeing off the old man, Xiaofang and I stood by the fish pond, looking at the starry sky, and our hearts were full of gratitude. We are grateful for fate to allow us to meet and grow in the midst of hardship.
Soon after, Xiaofang's younger brother received a letter from the army, saying that he was going home to visit his family. We are excited to prepare for his return. However, the day before he was about to return home, his unit suddenly received an urgent mission, and his family visit plan was forced to be cancelled.
After Xiaofang received the news, she was silent for a long time. I knew her worries, but I didn't know how to comfort her. That night, I gently hugged Xiaofang and said to her, "Xiaofang, don't worry, our brother is a brave warrior and he will return safely." ”
Xiao Fang with tears in her eyes nodded: "Tiezhu, I believe in you, I believe in our younger brother." ”
Time passed day by day, and we never waited for news from Xiaofang's younger brother. However, our lives go on. We planted more hope by the fish pond and looked forward to the return of Xiaofang's younger brother.
One sunny afternoon, Xiaofang and I were feeding the fish by the fish pond when we suddenly heard a familiar sound of footsteps. We looked up and saw Xiaofang's younger brother standing in the sunlight with a smile on his face.
Xiao Fang ran over excitedly and hugged him tightly: "Brother, you're finally back!"
I walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, you've completed your mission and returned safely." ”
That night, we sat around the fish pond as a family, looking at the starry sky and telling each other's experiences. We know that life will go on and that there are countless challenges that lie ahead. But we have love for each other in our hearts, and we have the pursuit of a better life, and we believe that no matter how many storms lie ahead, we can work together to get through them.
Xiao Fang's younger brother returned from the army and brought new vitality to our lives. He is young, vigorous and full of energy, and his story fills us with new expectations for life. He told us that he learned a lot in the army and saw the outside world. He wants to bring what he has seen and learned back to his hometown and make our fish pond more prosperous.
Xiaofang and I looked at him, our hearts filled with pride. We decided to support his idea and let him apply new techniques and management methods to the fish pond. Xiaofang's younger brother got busy, introducing new fry, learning more scientific farming methods, and communicating with experts through the Internet to continuously improve the yield and quality of the pond.
Our fish ponds have gradually become well-known breeding bases, attracting more tourists and buyers. Xiao Fang's restaurant is also busy, and her craftsmanship is becoming more and more sophisticated, attracting more diners. Our lives are getting fuller and busier.
However, at this time, Xiaofang suddenly fell ill. She was very sick and needed long treatment and rest. I looked at her emaciated body, my heart filled with worry. I decided to put down my work and take care of her wholeheartedly.
Xiaofang's younger brother also put down his work, and we took care of Xiaofang together. We took turns staying by her bedside, telling her stories, chatting with her, and hoping for a speedy recovery. Xiao Fang's smile became less and less, but her eyes were still full of love for us.
During those days, our lives became extremely difficult. But we all believe that as long as we have love in our hearts, we can overcome everything. Xiaofang's younger brother told me that he decided to join the army to protect our homeland and make our lives more peaceful. I looked at him with gratitude.
Xiaofang's condition finally improved, and she slowly recovered her health. Our lives are gradually returning to normal. Xiaofang's younger brother left his hometown and went to the army. We saw him off, our hearts were full of reluctance, but more than that, we blessed him.
Xiao Fang's younger brother performed well in the army, and he became the pride of the company. We are proud of him and happy for his growth. Our lives go on, and we will always support him and wait for his return.
This is our story, the love story of an ordinary soldier. Although it was tortuous, it was finally complete. We believe that as long as we have love in our hearts, we can overcome everything. We will always work hard to make our lives better.
As time went on, our fish pond became more and more prosperous, and Xiao Fang's restaurant became a famous local food landmark. Our lives are getting more and more fulfilling, but there is always a trace of regret in my heart, that is, after Xiaofang's younger brother joined the army, we rarely saw him.
One day, I was busy by the fish pond when I suddenly heard a familiar laughter. I looked up and saw Xiao Fang's younger brother coming from a distance, wearing a brand new military uniform, looking heroic. I was so excited that I hurried to meet it.
"Brother, you're back!" I patted him on the shoulder, my eyes full of joy.
"Brother, I'm back. He replied with a smile and a glint of pride in his eyes, "I learned a lot in the army and grew a lot. I would like to share my experience with you this time. ”
Hearing him say this, Xiaofang and I were both excited. We can't wait to hear what he has to say about life in the army. That night, as we sat around the fish pond, Xiaofang's brother began to tell his story. His voice is full of passion, and it is as if we are also transported into a world full of challenges and opportunities.
Xiaofang's younger brother excelled in the army, not only did he learn a lot of military skills, but he also actively participated in various missions and contributed to the security of the country. His story is something we are proud of and happy about his growth.
However, just when we were proud of Xiaofang's younger brother, our fish pond suffered a sudden disaster. A sudden flood hit our village, flooding our fish ponds. Xiaofang and I looked at the devastated fish pond, and our hearts were filled with despair.
However, Xiaofang's younger brother did not give up. He led us in cleaning up the fish ponds, repairing the facilities, and trying to minimize the damage. His tenacity and perseverance inspired us and helped us regain our confidence.
After a period of hard work, our fish pond has finally returned to its former life. Xiao Fang's restaurant also reopened, attracting more customers. Our lives are back on track again, and Xiaofang's younger brother is back in the army again.
When he was leaving, he shook my hand and said, "Brother, I will always protect our home and make our lives more peaceful." ”
I looked at him with gratitude. I know that wherever he goes, he will be our eternal pride.
This is our story, the love story of an ordinary soldier. Although it was tortuous, it was finally complete. We believe that as long as we have love in our hearts, we can overcome everything. We will always work hard to make our lives better.
