Reshaping life starting from the Junior Class of HKUST

Chapter 17 You Need to Serve the Country
In the past few days, Wu Zhe is also exercising in the morning, and playing guiding chess at the Duoshou Building in the afternoon.

Come back to cook a meal and read a book in the evening. This day is quite leisurely.

On the weekend, Wu Zhe's family of three went to Grandpa Wu Zhe's with some fruit.

The Second Artillery Retirement Center does not occupy a large area, but it has a good green environment. It is equipped with physiotherapy rooms, professional doctors and nurses.There are also fitness rooms and entertainment rooms, and the residences are all small bungalows on two floors.

Generally, I like to live here when I retire.One is that it is convenient to have someone to take care of it, and the other is that the old guys are all here, so it is lively.

Grandpa Wu Zhe lived in the No. [-] courtyard, and some seasonal vegetables were grown in the courtyard.As soon as the three of them entered the room, they saw the old man Wu Zhongsheng sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a newspaper, with a cup of green tea on the coffee table next to him.

"dad."

"dad."

"Grandpa." The three of them greeted at the same time.

Wu Zhongsheng looked up at the three of them, put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Here you go, sit first. Xiao Zhe, sit by Grandpa's side."

Wu Zhe sat next to the old man according to his words, and asked, "Grandpa, how is your health recently?" Wu Zhe knew that the old man would die of a cerebral hemorrhage in a few months, so he was still a little nervous.

Seeing his grandson's nervous expression, Mr. Wu smiled and said, "I'm still the same, my bones are not bad, and some pains are old injuries, I know it well."

Wu Zhe wanted the old man to have a comprehensive physical examination, but he didn't know how to speak.

He is also well aware of the old man's temper, so asking him to go for a physical examination made him always seem to be dying. It's no wonder that the old man's strong temper was not punished.

Wu Jun didn't speak at the side, he didn't dare to say anything when he saw that the old man was also a mouse and a cat.

On the contrary, He Mei, the daughter-in-law, said, "Dad, you still have to pay more attention, we are not around. You have to take care of yourself. Your grandson has passed the entrance examination of a key university, so you should watch him shine."

"Well, Xiao Zhe is a good guy. I'm so proud!" The old man laughed heartily.

"I'm glad you came here today. I still have a bottle of 30-year-old wine, which was given by the old chief. We dried it at noon today, and it's a celebration for Xiao Zhe. But before that, I have something to say to you, Xiao Zhe."

Seeing that the old man's face became serious, Wu Zhe also sat up straight and said, "Grandpa, tell me."

Mr. Wu straightened his body, and the aura of gold and iron horse emerged spontaneously.

Word by word: "Before you were young, I didn't have any requirements for you. Now that you are admitted to university, and you are going to the University of Science and Technology of China, then I will tell you a few words. I know that many people in your school choose to study abroad. Especially your junior class.

Going out to study is a good thing. If we are behind, we must learn, but you must come back.Don't study abroad, you won't remember who you are and what kind of blood you keep.You always keep these four words of serving the motherland in my heart. "

Wu Zhe looked at the old man, nodded heavily and said, "Grandpa, I remember."

Seeing that Wu Zhe agreed, the old man lowered his voice a lot: "My old Wu family, your great-grandfather, and your second-grandfather all died on the road of revolution.

Because of my young age, I didn't catch up with the Revolutionary War. Later, your grandfather and I joined the army when I was seventeen. Only after joining the army did I realize that our weapons were inferior to those of foreigners.

Foreigners have good weapons and sufficient firepower.And we can only fill it with flesh and blood.Our better weapons are all supported by others.But then they stopped giving it and the experts withdrew. What should we do? "

The old man continued: "At that time we had nothing, lack of technology, talent, and resources.

But we have the backbone, the will, and a group of returning students who are patriotic.This is where today's missiles, atomic bombs, and hydrogen bombs come into being.Only then did we have the confidence to speak.Our generation wants to fight all the battles for you, and only hope that you will be at peace.

You have never experienced troubled times, and you don't know the weight of the word "Taiping".But it's only been a few years!In the past, there was an incident of humiliating our country, and later there was an incident of soldiers suppressing our waters.

My 300 million soldiers are humiliated.

I have a hard time with hundreds of millions of people.

He foreign countries just bully our economy and technology.We can all live with this.

In order not to be bullied in the future, and for the strength of the motherland, you said that if you succeed in your studies, can you not return to the motherland?Can not serve the motherland?

I don't care what other people's families are like, but you Wu Zhe is a descendant of a soldier, why don't you come back and try. "

At this time, Wu Zhe stood up and bowed: "As long as you succeed in your studies, you must repay the country."

Then he said: "Grandpa, see if this is okay, I promise you. You also promise me one thing."

The old man said: "Tell me, if you can do what you promise me, don't say one thing, I will promise ten things."

"No, just one thing is fine. Grandpa, go for a physical examination and supervise me then to see what I can do for the country. I hope to drink that bottle of aged wine when I celebrate my success." Wu Zhe looked at it expectantly. said the old man.

Wu Zhongsheng stared at Wu Zhe for more than ten seconds before he smiled heartily and said, "Okay, I promise, I will have the doctor's physical examination in the afternoon. I will save this wine for you first. I hope you will pass on the good news soon."

At this moment, the atmosphere relaxed.

Seeing this scene, Wu Jun immediately shouted to He Mei in the kitchen: "Amei, is the meal ready? I didn't eat breakfast, I'm starving to death."

He Mei replied in the kitchen: "You just know how to eat, starving ghost reincarnated. Wait a little longer."

Wu Jun was stunned by He Mei, touched his nose and stopped talking, but the old man and Wu Zhe laughed.

The old man said to Wu Jun: "It was right not to let you serve as a soldier, and your temper and character are really not suitable for serving as a soldier.

Xiao Zhe, on the other hand, is calm and organized, and looks good now.It's a pity that he is a young soldier. "

Wu Jun replied: "It's such a pity, our family is only A Zhe, and our family doesn't owe the country anything, both the uncle and the second uncle died for the country.

Serving the motherland is not the only way to serve the country as a soldier. In the future, Azhe will be a great scientist, and he can also win glory for the country. "

"Shut up." Mr. Wu glared at Wu Jun and said, "What do you mean you don't owe the country? No country can have me or you. In troubled times, life is like nothing. Without the party, there is no country. Without the country, we can live and work Therefore, we all owe the party and the country. Let me hear what you owe in the future, and I will break your legs."

Wu Zhe hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Grandpa, don't be angry, my dad doesn't mean that either. Just say it casually. In fact, I quite yearn for life in the military camp. When I was young, you and grandpa lived in the army for a while."

"Well, your grandma was still there at that time. Alas, your grandma left a little early, otherwise how happy I would be to see that you have been admitted to the University of Science and Technology of China." When Mr. Wu mentioned his wife, his eyes turned slightly red.

When Wu Jun saw it, he said quickly: "Dad, I'm happy today, don't mention Mom and get sad. It's easy to hurt your nerves."

At this moment, He Mei shouted, "Dinner is ready."

The grandparents and grandchildren got up and headed towards the restaurant.
