Recently, the notice of the closure of a rice noodle shop in Guilin Quanzhou has been on fire: dear customers, I will suspend business for 5 days from August 20 to 24 for sending my son to Tsinghua University to study. The "Please Tell Each Other" at the end of the article makes people feel the joy of this family across the screen.
Some netizens replied, "This notice looks so happy, I read it and laughed." "The reason why a closure notice triggers so many warm messages is because it evokes a common emotion that makes people who love you proud of you.
The comrades-in-arms could not help but recall the happy appearance of their parents when they received the acceptance letter from the military school. However, due to the special nature of the military profession, since wearing the uniform, they have gathered less with their parents. Hum the sentence "Am I your pride, are you still worried about me, the child you are worried about, grow up", write down the details of this paragraph, there is happiness, more heartache.
I went to college twice, once at a local university and once at a military academy.
After the college entrance examination, when I hid in the stairwell to check the score, my father was pretending to sweep the floor in the next room. But I could clearly see that his ears were erect, in my direction.
"Dad, 562 points."
After Dad listened, he still pretended to sweep the floor, and only responded with a "Hmm.".
He didn't ask how the score was, whether he could get into college, but just swept the already clean ground over and over again.
By the time my classmates and I finished talking and walked out of the stairwell, Dad had already put the broom away, and no one knew where to go.
When it was dark, Dad came back with a few dishes and said, "Happy today, drink something." ”
Later, I learned that when the neighbors were discussing the college entrance examination scores that night, he went out to listen to others chat and found that my score was the highest, and when others said that your daughter would definitely be admitted to a good university, he came back with peace of mind.
When I came back, my dad started discussing the score with me. At this time, I understood that at the beginning he did not ask because he was afraid of burdening me, afraid of asking too much and I was stressed.
Later, I was admitted to military school. Once he suddenly said to me, "Stars, you know what? Sometimes I talk to co-workers and say I have an officer's daughter, and no one believes me. I showed them the pictures and they were envious. ”
When he said this, Dad was lying on the back of the chair, smiling with a smile on his face.
I didn't expect that my father, who had been silent all along, would speak of me so proudly in front of his friends.
I thought he didn't care, like when he took his award home as a kid, he always simply said "don't be proud".
The first time I made a meritorious contribution, I caught up with the first time that the unit invited relatives to receive the award together. I called Dad. I asked him, do you want to come? Dad said, "Just let your mother go, I won't go." ”
However, when I took home some of the medal certificates I had received in the army, he took his reading glasses and began to look at them one by one, laughing as he watched. He also told me to put these things away and take a picture with us when I wore these medals!
Dad is a little old, and the edges and corners of his young personality and the pride in his bones are all portrayed as grooves on his face. And what can make these ditches and ditches smile is nothing more than such a sentence: "Old Xie, you girl's fighting!" ”
I was home the afternoon before I was sent to military school.
On the way back to pick me up, my brother drove directly to the shop selling fireworks, bought a large plate of firecrackers, and then served two of the biggest salutes.
I said, what do you do with this spare money? The younger brother said that my mother said that she must buy it.
"Isn't mom spending money indiscriminately?" I say. My brother replied to me as he moved the salute to the car: "Mom is happy." ”
I thought my mother was "showing off" again, just like every time I came home from a visit to my family, she would always encourage me to wear a military uniform to accompany her out for a walk, and when she learned that she could not wear a military uniform to go shopping, she was a little disappointed. But I still wanted me to go out with her.
"Sixth son, is this your girlfriend?" The soldiers are back to visit their relatives! ”
"Well, I'll come back once a year!"
"Your girlfriend is so beautiful!"
"It's not good-looking, it's not good-looking, your girlfriend is really good-looking."
Every time I encounter this kind of "display", I am a little embarrassed next to it, but I know that my mother is happy.
At that time, my cooperation was not very high, just like this time, the mother who has always been frugal bought these things, I think it is not necessary.
When I got home, I found my mother waiting for me in the dress I gave her, and I was very happy.
It wasn't completely dark yet, so my mother instructed my brother to move the salute out and light it. She stood in the doorway and looked up at the beautiful fireworks blooming in the air, and when asked by passers-by, she happily rubbed her hands and told: "Our family stars have been admitted to military school." ”
Later, I learned that when there is a happy event in my hometown, I must set off firecrackers and flowers, and make some noises, just like notifying other people: Our family has a happy event!
In the evening, when relatives and friends ate together, my mother was also very happy. When I got home after a busy day, my mother cut an apple for me and wanted to talk to me, who hadn't been home for more than a year. But after a day of driving and drinking more wine, I fell asleep without saying a word.
The next day my mother sent me to Nanjing to go to school, when I went to the station she suddenly stuffed me with a few rice dumplings, I said that I was full and did not bring it, my mother said: "This is what I cooked last night, the water in the pot is boiled dry, the pot is almost cooked before it is cooked, you bring some to eat, good is my mother's intention." ”
According to the dialect of the hometown, "粽" and "high school" are homophonous of "zhong". My dear mother blessed me in the simplest way possible.
When my mother waved goodbye to me in the crowd, looking at her somewhat bloated figure, I suddenly remembered Zhu Ziqing's "Back Shadow". Over the years, I went to middle school, college, and later joined the army, no matter where I went, my mother would insist on sending me and helping me prepare the road food and put away my luggage. When the car I was in was gone, she had to call again and tell her to "put things away, get out of the car and don't leave things behind."
I remember that my mother once came to my unit, saw a shot of us assembling in an emergency armed emergency in a propaganda video, and suddenly turned her head and asked: "Stars, do you all have to carry such heavy things around?" I was used to not noticing her emotions, and replied easily: "Yes! ”
Later, she did not "show up".
When others told her, "Your girlfriend is excellent in the army," she replied with some pain: "She is not easy, she is very tired." ”
Later, when I heard others talk about my mother's heartache for me, I suddenly felt some sadness, some missed my mother's "appearance", and some regretted my former "non-cooperation".
I was the first female soldier on our farm, and even more the first female officer. My mom was very proud when she said she went to get the good news and bonus of my meritorious service award.
She often said: "Mom has worked hard for most of her life, but Mom is content, because her children are angry." ”
The slightest achievement of a child will become the pride of parents. Parents who are getting older will always hide behind their children, proud and distressed at the same time.
Mom and Dad always said, "You've worked hard, but Your Parents can't help you." "But they don't know, they're my pride."
Dad's simplicity, integrity and kindness to others, and mom's tenacity, kindness and self-improvement and optimism have made me stumble over the years, but I still insist on growing.
Mom and Dad, I will always strive to be your pride.
Time and time, you also run slowly, so that my dear parents can grow old slowly.

In 2013, I was admitted to the Political College of the National Defense University (formerly the Nanjing Institute of Political Science) in the army, and I did not have time to go home, so I went directly from the military station to Nanjing. Before going, I called my father, and my father said, "Good! Good! I'll go to your grandma's house now and talk to your grandma and your uncle and make them happy. "I know that Father is overjoyed. When I waited for the winter vacation of 2013, I had not returned home for nearly three years, saw my father's gray hair, and suddenly felt that the phrase "years are not spared" is true. In those days, my father took me out, and when he saw someone, he said, "This is my daughter!" Just this one girl! Be a soldier! Go home to visit your family! At that time, my father did not know much about military schools, nor did he know that military schools had winter and summer vacations, and only knew that when he returned home as a soldier, he was called "visiting relatives." In those days, although I didn't want to go out, I still followed my father all over my relatives, friends, neighbors...

When he received the acceptance letter, dad did not have any fierce emotions, just looked at the letter and said, "Keep it, don't lose it." At four o'clock in the afternoon, Dad began to cook, busy for more than four hours, making a whole large table of dishes. During the meal, Dad poured me wine and talked. Today's father seems to have a very small amount of alcohol, and after a while he is drunk, laughing and saying, "My son has been admitted to military school." Dad just fell asleep laughing.

In 2009, I squeezed across the college entrance examination with more than 630 points. At that time, the TV series "Soldier Assault" was being broadcast, and I took the pen and applied for the Army Armored Corps Academy (formerly the Armored Corps Engineering College) in Beijing with the belief that "I would rather be a centurion than a scholar". I was the first person in our village to enter the military academy from a local high school, and the first person to go to Beijing to study at a university. Parents bought several fireworks that night. This is the first time that fireworks have been set off in our house, and we have never even let them go in the New Year before. That night, my father cooked 8 of my favorite dishes, and my mother, who had never drunk alcohol, poured beer for the first time and congratulated me on my admission to military school. In the eyes of parents, this should be regarded as a great joy in their lives!

When I entered the school in 2008, my mother signed a training program with me
In the summer of 2008, when she learned that I had been admitted as a defense student, my mother said, "My son is amazing, I'm so proud of you." Come on, hold one! Hearing this, my father, who was usually not good at words, also came to him. Although I am very happy that my dream has come true, as an eighteen-year-old "big boy", I am a little strange and even nervous about the hugs of my parents. In my memory, there is not much "intimacy" at other times except when I was sick and lying in their arms as a child. At the moment of hugging, as my mother's tears fell on my shoulders, I bid farewell to shyness and restraint, hugged my mother tightly, and gave my father a thumbs up, who nodded at me with an affirmative look. Since then, my parents' expectations have become my motivation to keep moving forward. I love my parents.

In August 2013, when I received an offer of acceptance from the Air Force Service College to become a prospective officer, my parents' faces showed a long-lost look of joy. In order to celebrate my admission to military school, although my family was poor, my parents borrowed money to hold a promotion banquet for me, and called my relatives and neighbors to eat a send-off meal. It was the first time that my family had held such a big banquet, and there was a large balloon arch in front of the door, which read, "Congratulations to Gao Dezhan for being admitted to the Air Force Service College"; that was the first time I bowed to my parents in front of the whole village and proudly said: "You have worked hard, I will raise you in the future!" ”

When the admission order was given, my parents made me feel like a child who had been given candy. Listening to my mother, the two of them sat at home and giggled for a day. Although it is thousands of miles away, a telephone line can also make me feel their joy. I have not had the opportunity to accompany my parents for two years as a soldier, let alone repay my parents' kindness, so this time I have the best gift to my parents with my own efforts. At that moment, I understood a truth, your current efforts will not only make you thank you in the future, but also the joy of your parents in their twilight years.

At the time of writing this, I was in a new platoon to lead a training team. In 2012, I was admitted to the Army Armored Corps Academy (formerly the Armored Corps Engineering College). As a Shandong native, being admitted to a military academy is a matter of honoring the ancestors. I came to Beijing with an aura and the expectations of my family. But the rules and regulations of the military school made me feel overwhelmed, and I started to quit the school, and even signed my name on the withdrawal report. My mother came from her hometown and was soft and me, hoping that I would stay. Yes, I stayed. Some people say that I may have opened my mind, and I may be afraid of going home and losing people, but in fact, I just want to not let my mother's hard work be wasted, and I can't let her cry silently.
Later, in the military school, I became what everyone called "someone else's child", as if I had opened a hanging. After graduating from undergraduate, I received all the awards at all levels of the college, and now after a year of on-the-job training, I have come to the unit of my choice. This kind of "low driving and high walking" is probably the happiest thing for parents. After graduation, work harder, let parents thousands of miles away have a little more happiness and less worries, this is the greatest filial piety to children.
