At that time, I was nineteen years old, and I was in the prime of life. In the summer of 1975, I received an offer of admission to the Infantry Academy, and my heart was full of joy and anticipation. I was in a hurry to go home and tell the good news to my first love in my hometown, Xiaofang.
After my promotion, I had the opportunity to go home. That afternoon, the sun was shining, and I put on my military uniform and went to see Xiaofang in high spirits. She was still so beautiful, wearing a floral dress, standing under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village, smiling and waiting for me.
"Brother Xiaolin, you're finally back!" Xiao Fang ran over excitedly and gave me a big hug.
"Yes, I'm back, Xiaofang." I looked at her affectionately, and a warm current welled up in my heart.
We found a quiet place and started talking about each other's experiences over the years. However, the conversation was not so pleasant. I learned that my hometown has changed a lot in recent years, and the young people in the village have gone out to work, leaving only the elderly and children. And Xiaofang, because of family reasons, was forced to drop out of school at home.
"Brother Xiaolin, you are now an officer, and you will definitely make great achievements." Xiao Fang looked at me enviously.
I frowned, and I had an indescribable feeling in my heart. I know that the distance between me and Xiaofang is getting farther and farther away, which makes me feel uneasy.
Suddenly, there was a cacophony of voices in the village. We hurriedly ran over to take a look, and it turned out to be a group of ruffians bullying an old man. I angrily stepped forward to stop it, but I didn't expect the ruffians to do it to me.
After all, I studied martial arts at the Infantry Academy, and I took down those ruffians with three strikes and five divided by two. The villagers cheered for me, and at this time, the village chief came out and said to me: "Xiaolin, you are now a cadre, you must be the master of our village!" ”
I nodded, looked at Xiao Fang, and secretly made up my mind: I must make the village better and let Xiao Fang live a happy life.
That night, Xiaofang and I walked around the village. The moonlight was like water, sprinkled on the path, and we chatted about our future plans. I said, "Xiaofang, when I stabilize myself, I'll take you out." ”
Xiao Fang smiled and said, "Brother Xiaolin, you are a good person, I believe you will do it." Still, I liked life in the village and didn't want to leave. ”
I was stunned, looking at Xiaofang, with mixed feelings in my heart. I know the gap between me and her is getting bigger and bigger, but I still want to try to make up for it.
In the days that followed, I used my vacation time to travel through various departments and secure a fund to improve the village's infrastructure. At the same time, I also mobilized the villagers to organize and defend their homes together.
As the days passed, the village changed more and more. And my relationship with Xiaofang has also become deeper during this time. However, fate inadvertently caught us off guard.
On that day, I was organizing the villagers to build a road in the village, when I suddenly received an order from my superiors to return to the army immediately and carry out an urgent mission. I hesitated, but decided to tell Xiaofang.
"Xiaofang, I'm leaving." I whispered.
Xiao Fang looked at me, a trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes, but she still smiled and said, "Brother Xiaolin, you go, I'll wait for you." ”
In this way, I left the village and left Xiaofang. In the course of my mission, I was heroically wounded and sent back to my hometown to recuperate. And Xiaofang is always by my side, taking care of me and encouraging me.
During those days, although it was painful, our hearts were tightly connected. I know that I can't do without Xiaofang anymore.
Now, I have recovered and returned to work. And Xiaofang also became my wife. We work hand in hand to continue to work hard for the prosperity of our hometown and our happiness.
Time flies, and the ups and downs of the past have faded away. But in my heart, that beautiful memory can never be erased.
The days passed like a white horse, and in an instant, Xiaofang and I have spent countless springs, summers, autumns and winters together. The hometown has undergone earth-shaking changes in the baptism of the years, and the young people in the village have returned to their hometowns to start businesses with the support of the government, and the village has regained its vitality and vitality.
One day, I returned home after my official duties. Xiaofang was busy in the yard, and when she saw me coming in, she raised her head, smiled and said, "Brother Xiaolin, you're back, the meal is ready, let's eat." ”
I walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder: "Xiaofang, you have worked hard all these years, follow me, you have been wronged." ”
Xiao Fang shook her head, her eyes flashing with happiness: "Brother Xiaolin, as long as I can be with you, I am willing to work hard and tired." ”
After dinner, we strolled along the village path, where the moonlight shone on us and formed a beautiful silhouette. Xiao Fang suddenly stopped, looked at me and said, "Brother Xiaolin, do you know? I've always had a wish. ”
I looked at her curiously, "Oh? What a wish, you can tell me. ”
Xiaofang smiled shyly: "I want to build a school for the village, so that the children in the village can receive a good education." ”
I thought about it for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, that's a good idea. I will do my best to support you and together we will do something for the village. ”
In the days that followed, Xiaofang and I began to get busy with running the school. We consulted experts from the education department, secured a fund, and mobilized the villagers to participate in the construction of the school. After half a year of hard work, the first school in the village was finally completed.
On that day, the school held a grand opening ceremony. Looking at the children's cheerful smiling faces, Xiaofang and I were filled with joy. At this time, the village chief came over and said gratefully: "Xiaolin, Xiaofang, you have done a great good thing for the village, and I thank you on behalf of the villagers." ”
I smiled and shook my head, "Village Chief, this is what we should do. The prosperity of the village is our common wish. ”
However, the good times were short-lived. Soon after, I had to leave my hometown for a city thousands of miles away due to a job transfer. On the day of parting, Xiaofang sent me to the entrance of the village, and she held my hand tightly, her eyes full of reluctance.
"Brother Xiaolin, you have to take care, we are waiting for you in our hometown." Xiao Fang's voice choked.
I nodded and glanced at her affectionately: "Xiaofang, take care of yourself and the village, I will come back as soon as possible." ”
In this way, I left my hometown and left Xiaofang. In my new position, I am conscientious and hardworking, hoping to return to Xiaofang as soon as possible. Xiaofang, on the other hand, continues to work hard for the development of the village in her hometown.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a few years have passed. I was promoted to a senior officer because of my job excellence. And the hometown, with the joint efforts of Xiaofang, is becoming more and more beautiful.
Finally, on a moonlit night, I finished my work and couldn't wait to set foot on the way home. I know that there is my beloved Xiaofang, and there is a home that we protect together. And this time, I will never leave.
It's a long way home, but my heart is full of anticipation. I imagined seeing Xiaofang again, imagining the moment of reunion with her. It's been a few years since we've seen each other, and I can't wait to see what she's like now.
When I finally returned to my hometown, I saw a whole new village. The roads in the village are wider, the houses are cleaner, and the villagers are more affluent. My heart is full of pride and joy, which is the result of my joint efforts with Xiaofang.
I couldn't wait to walk to Xiaofang's home. When I pushed open the door of the yard, I saw Xiaofang busy in the yard. Her figure was still familiar, but I noticed that her hair had turned a little gray and her back was slightly curved. My heart ached suddenly, and I realized that she had done so much for the development of the village over the years.
I walked up to her and hugged her gently. She looked up and saw me, a flash of surprise in her eyes, and then a warm smile.
"Brother Xiaolin, you're finally back." She hugged me softly, with a hint of choked in her voice.
"Yes, Xiaofang, I'm back." I hugged her tightly and felt her warmth.
We sat in the courtyard, the moonlight shining on us like a soft veil of light. We talked about the changes over the years, about our joint efforts and achievements. Xiao Fang's face was filled with a smile of satisfaction and happiness, she looked at me and said, "Brother Xiaolin, our village is getting better and better, this is our common effort. ”
I nodded and held her hand tightly: "Yes, Xiaofang, our village has become better, but more importantly, our relationship has deepened. ”
From that day on, Xiaofang and I started our lives again. Together, we work hard for the development of the village and face the challenges of life together. We have supported and encouraged each other and walked through countless springs, summers, autumns and winters together.
As the years go by, our hair turns gray, but our hearts are still young. We watched the children in the village thrive and become talented and responsible youths. Our hearts are filled with contentment and happiness.
This is our story, a story of love and struggle. With our efforts and perseverance, we have changed the fate of our hometown and our own. We believe that as long as we hold hands and work together, our lives will be better and better.
In the years that followed, Xiaofang's and I lives were still busy and fulfilling. We have carried out a series of improvement works in the village, building new roads, improving the water supply system, and building a small library to provide more places for the villagers to study and relax.
Whenever we walk through the village and see the life of the villagers getting better and better, our hearts are filled with joy and satisfaction. We support each other, face the ups and downs of life together, and our relationship grows deeper.
However, life is not always smooth sailing. One year, the village was hit by a severe drought that killed almost all of the crops, and the villagers' lives were in dire straits. Xiaofang and I were so anxious that we decided to go together to ask for help.
We trekked through mountains and rivers, visited various departments, and finally managed to secure a relief fund. We used the money to buy drought-fighting equipment and help the villagers get through the difficult time. During that time, we were exhausted from running around day and night, but seeing the lives of the villagers gradually recover, our hearts filled with a sense of accomplishment.
As the years go by, our hair turns gray, but our hearts are still young. We watched the children in the village thrive and become talented and responsible youths. Our hearts are filled with contentment and happiness.
This is our story, a story of love and struggle. With our efforts and perseverance, we have changed the fate of our hometown and our own. We believe that as long as we hold hands and work together, our lives will be better and better.
