Return to 90 and start a career

Heizi took out something from his old denim schoolbag and handed it to Li Manjun.

This was his return gift, a bamboo dragonfly made from bamboo slices.

Before parting, Heizi curiously asked Li Manjun, "What's your sister's name?"

"Zhao Jianing, whose nickname is Nian Nian, Nian Nian misses her big brother who didn't have lunch at noon. She said she would leave her candy for him so that he doesn't have to go hungry." Li Manjun said with a smile.

Heizi remembered the embarrassment of being seen drinking water to satisfy his hunger that day, his dark face turned red, and his dark skin turned purple.

Li Manjun waved to him, "Goodbye."

Heizi nodded, watched the car start, and shouted loudly: "Aunt Li, help me bring a message to Nian Nian. Tell her that big brother likes her candies very much. Now big brother doesn't need to drink water at noon. He has food." have eaten."

Abba sold the turtle seal for 500 yuan and bought two bags of rice home. From now on, he can bring food to school to eat at noon and he will not be hungry.

Li Manjun smiled and nodded, "Okay, I will tell her."

The three of them waved goodbye to the students again, drove away from the village, drove up the winding mountain road, and gradually drove away.

The students watched at the entrance of the village for a long time until the car was no longer visible. Then, under the teacher's greeting, they returned to the classroom glumly.

But when they saw the brand new learning tools, the rare love in their eyes instantly overcame their depression.

This whole day, Li Manjun had an extremely fulfilling life. When he got home, he fell down on the sofa, exhausted.

Nian Nian ran to the sofa, climbed into her mother's lap, and asked her if she had given her chocolates to her eldest brother.

"I gave it to you. He said he liked it very much and asked me to thank you for him." Li Manjun said softly, rubbing the top of her daughter's hair.

Nian Nian's eyes lit up, "Mom, big brother, thank me!"

"Yes, he said thank you every year."

Li Manjun reached out to hug her to prevent her from rolling under the sofa, and mysteriously took out the bamboo dragonfly given by Heizi, "This is a gift from big brother."

Nian Nian caught the bamboo dragonfly, let out a surprised cry, and buried it on her mother's chest. She was so happy that she wanted to roll over.

Sister Zhou brought out the fried dishes and heard the conversation between the mother and daughter, with a look of relief on her face: "We are so kind every year."

"Yes." Li Manjun nodded in approval, held up the little head buried in his chest, and rewarded him with a super big baby.

Nian Nian held the bamboo dragonfly and spun around on the sofa. While spinning, he said to himself: "Nian Nian is great. I want to tell my dad. Daddy praises Nian Nian for being a good baby. I want to buy Nian Nian something delicious."

Sister Zhou set out the bowls and chopsticks, "It's time to eat."

After hearing the sound, Nian Nian immediately slid off the sofa, first took the bamboo dragonfly to her small table and carefully arranged it, then opened her hands and ran to the dining table like a butterfly.

I didn’t forget to call my mother back: “It’s time to eat~”

Li Manjun stretched out on the sofa, stood up and came to the dining table.

At the dinner table, Li Manjun shared the interesting things that happened today with Sister Zhou and her daughter while eating. When she heard that students in the mountains had to get up before dawn every day and walk a long way to school, Nian Nian frowned.

"Mom, give our car to them. It's not far away." She discussed with her mother seriously, and the generous little girl planned to give her car away directly.

Li Manjun asked funnyly: "If the car is given to my brothers and sisters, what will they do when they go out every year?"

Nian Nian raised his hand and waved, "Didi!"

My mother just stood on the side of the road and waved, and then the car came by itself. I could ride in the car like this every year.

Li Manjun didn't expect that she would be like this. He was stunned for a moment, couldn't help laughing, and tapped his daughter's little nose, "But taxis can't always be found. If it rains, the taxis are far away, and they are not on the side of the road every year. How to do it?"

Nian Nian's brows furrowed together, "What should we do?"

"I won't give them a car every year, okay?" Nian Nian looked embarrassed, and seemed to feel a little sorry for his brothers and sisters in the mountains because of his own thoughts.

Li Manjun told her that of course it was okay, because the cars at home were bought by her parents through hard work and were our own.

"You can make your own decisions when it comes to your own things. We like to share every year, but mom wants to tell you that sharing is not about giving your own things to others, but about giving out things that you don't need but others need."

"Otherwise, I will be unhappy because of the loss."

Nian Nian seemed to understand, but knew that there was nothing wrong with not giving away the car. He patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Before going to bed, I wait for my father to call every year. When the phone rings, I rush to answer it immediately.

"dad!"

The old father Zhao Yong's heart melted when his daughter called her "daddy" loudly.

Every year I hold the phone and refuse to give it to my mother. I tell my father what happened today, starting from when I woke up and saw the little rabbit’s ears crooked.

Li Manjun admired her memory, she was able to remember everything that happened in a day

Although the chirping kept ringing in his ears, Zhao Yong didn't feel impatient at all. He was just looking forward to the business trip ending soon and going back to stay with his family. It would definitely be more interesting to listen to his daughter's chirping face to face.

Li Manjun was so sleepy and yawning when the phone became available that it took half an hour to take the phone away from her daughter.

The couple chatted for a while, and Zhao Yong said: "Jianjun called me and I asked him if he wanted to be a soldier. What do you think he said?"

Li Manjun didn't bother to guess and asked directly: "What did he say?"

"He said that he had this idea for a long time, but he never dared to say it because he was afraid that his family would not support it."

Li Manjun raised his eyebrows and said, "That's right."

Then let him go.

Li Manjun is now a Buddha, as long as he can find a place to lock Li Jianjun until he is twenty years old.

Eighteen years old is too young, and coming out to contact society too early will only make children feel that society is too cruel.

"I asked a friend to find out about it, and they said that after two years of voluntary service, you can apply to continue serving. After five years of service, you can arrange to change jobs or continue to stay in the army for further study."

Zhao Yong thinks this is not bad. Although the unit he transferred to may not be that good, it is still an iron rice bowl.

For my mother-in-law, the psychological gap is a bit big. I don’t know if she can accept it.

"It's okay. When Li Jianjun's test results come out, she will recognize the reality." Li Manjun's tone sounded a bit gloating.

It's good to go to the army, as it provides food, housing and education. It's so right to hand your brother over to the country!

Afterwards, Li Jianjun felt a little complicated when he learned that his sister supported him in giving up college and choosing to join the military simply because he no longer had to worry about his ideological and moral education.

But with the support of his sister and brother-in-law, his dream of becoming a soldier is no longer a dream.

Li Jianjun can't help but wake up laughing when he sleeps. Fuck politics, geography, and history. I don't have to look at you anymore!
