my special forces brother

Chapter 3 Same Fate!
Holding a book in his hand, Zheng Jun squatted by the artificial lake, watching the ornamental fish roaming freely in the artificial lake.

"Jun Zheng!"

A pure female voice came from behind Zheng Jun.

Zheng Jun got up and turned his head, his eyes met Xu Jing who was walking towards him.

"Xu Jing, I found the book you wanted for you!"

Xu Jing took the book and glanced at the cover.

This is a full English novel.

The title of the book is Dear John.

This book also has a Chinese name called "Breakup Letter".

"You really found it, thank you!"

Xu Jing couldn't help but open it and take a look.

"Sorry, I couldn't find the original version of "Love in Rodin."

Zheng Jun looked at Xu Jing who had opened the book, and said apologetically.

"Thank you very much!"

Xu Jing said and closed the book, staring at Zheng Jun's face, she asked.

"Zheng Jun, I heard that you signed up to join the army. Is this true?"

Zheng Jun nodded.

Xu Jing asked again.

"Why, why do you suddenly have such an idea?"

Zheng Jun didn't answer Xu Jing's question, he put his hand on a big tree nearby and asked Xu Jing instead.

"Tell me, how many years has this big tree lived?"

Xu Jing looked up at the tree trunk, and then said.

"This is a poplar tree. Based on the environment it is growing in, it should not exceed ten years. Poplar trees are also fast-growing trees, and they grow very fast."

"It's only been ten years, but you've already grown up!"

Zheng Jun couldn't help sighing, and thought to himself at the same time.

"In 10 years, a small tree can grow into a man, and my father has paid for me for 11 years, so I should be a man!"

Xu Jing smiled and asked Zheng Jun again.

"You ask this, does it have any direct relationship with you going to join the army?"

Zheng Jun smiled slightly before responding.

"I'm going to join the army, and it really has nothing to do with this big poplar tree."

Xu Jing said: "But I don't understand. Can you tell me why you gave up your excellent studies and chose to join the army? Don't tell me the grand truth. I want to know the real situation!"

Zheng Jundao: "I have been working hard since I was a child. I have only one purpose of working hard, which is to change the situation of my family. To be honest, my family situation is not good, you know that."

Xu Jing said: "So what? With your ability, you can easily find a good job after graduating from college. In that way, you can change your family's situation in a very short time; I don't understand , this is about to come true soon, why are you planning to give up all of a sudden?"

Zheng Jundao: "I didn't give up, I joined the army to change my family's difficulties.

Let me tell you the truth, my family situation is even worse now, my mother is sick, the burden on the family has become heavier, and my younger brother Gao Yuan is going to college.

And my family's economy can no longer support it. As the eldest son in the family, I have to accept the reality and reduce the burden for my family. "

Xu Jing said: "You can apply for a scholarship!"

Zheng Jun shook his head: "It's not just a question of applying for a bursary, besides, my father said that one must have ambition to live.

I went to join the army not only to reduce the burden on the family, but when my younger brother went to college, tuition fees and living expenses would be a huge expense.

I want to take it all on my father's behalf.

Over the past 10 years, my father has paid too much for our family.

For me, I have paid too much, now, I am capable..."

Xu Jing interrupted Zheng Jun.

"Wait, you said you would help your brother with his tuition and living expenses. As far as I know, even if you become a soldier, the stipends given by the army are not enough."

Zheng Jun said: "You don't know, our school has a new benefit. If you join the army, there will be a reward of 5 yuan..."

Xu Jing said: "Just for the reward of 5 yuan!"

Zheng Jun nodded: "5 yuan is not a small amount for my family, it is enough for my brother's four-year college expenses."

Xu Jing was silent, she could understand the reality Zheng Jun said.

As if she had made some fighting spirit, the silent Xu Jing raised her head, and stared directly at Zheng Jun with her big watery eyes.

"You do this, I don't know what to say, I'm not in your position, I can't understand your mood, maybe what you did is right, maybe it's not, since you've already made up your mind, I can only bless you. "

Zheng Jun said: "Thank you!"

Xu Jing said: "For a long time, we won't see each other again, maybe we will be separated for many years, but don't worry, I will wait for you to come back."

Zheng Jun hesitated for a moment, not daring to answer Xu Jing's words.

He understood Xu Jing's intentions, but he was even more aware that in his own situation, some things and feelings could only be buried in his heart.

Seeing that Zheng Jun didn't speak, Xu Jing let out a deep breath.

"Tell me the day you leave, and I'll see you off!"

Zheng Jun nodded: "Thank you!"

"I should thank you, thank you for helping me find this book."

Xu Jing smiled and shook the book in his hand.

Zheng Jun looked at the book shaking in front of him, and at that moment, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"I'm leaving first, there are still some things that need to be handed over to the instructor."

After Zheng Jun calmly put down these words, he turned and left.

Zheng Jun, who left, was not at peace.

He thought of the protagonist in "Dear John",

The protagonist is also a soldier.

……

It was already dark, and Gao Yuan, who had vented his emotions, walked aimlessly towards home.

In the alley behind his house, he found a dirty white cat with a small goldfish in its mouth.

"That seems to be Zheng Jun's little goldfish."

Gao Yuan suddenly thought of a small fish tank in his home, where four small goldfish were raised.

It was Zheng Jun who stayed at home before he went to college.

"Dead cat!"

Although Gao Yuan didn't like Zheng Jun, but thinking that the goldfish might belong to his family, he still chased after him.

I chased the dirty white cat until I reached the abandoned soy sauce factory at the entrance of the alley.

The white cat got into the nearby pile of wood and disappeared.

Gao Yuan guessed that this should be the white cat's nest, so he took a light step and touched it.

With the help of the dim street lights, Gao Yuan discovered that besides the white cat, there was another cat at the sewer mouth behind the wood pile.

The other one is also a white cat, but it seems that the white cat that appeared behind is much older, and its hair is much bald.

Watching the dirty white cat put the fish in front of the old white cat.

Gao Yuan speculates that these two cats may be a mother-child relationship.

The scene in front of him touched Gao Yuan's heart.

He suddenly thought of himself and his father.

In the end, he didn't bother the two fish-stealing cats, but quietly turned around and walked towards home.

.........

"Father, you have paid so much for us all these years, and now the family is living like this, it's all because of me and Jun'er.

I thought and thought, and I still said that, let Junjun come back, we can't let Yuan'er..."

"What are you talking about, how can Junjun come back, Tsinghua University, that is a place where so many people have their heads pierced, and they can't get in if they want to. Our army is promising, and we can't make him give up halfway. Go, you have to go. over."

"Father, that's not fair to Yuan'er, if Jun Jun has to finish college, then Yuan'er has to.

If it doesn't work, let's sell this house, we can suffer a little bit, and we can't let the children feel disappointed..."

"Think about it again, it really doesn't make sense, I'm talking about selling a house.

Although Yuan'er made a fuss, I know my son best, he will understand when he grows up..."

"I still feel..."

As soon as Gao Yuan came back, he heard the whispered conversation at home. At this moment, his heart was touched even more strongly.

"Boom!"

Plateau slammed the door shut.

He deliberately made such a loud noise to alert the two people in the room that he was back.

"Yuan, you're back, you've gone crazy, you haven't eaten yet, I'm going to make it for you!"

Zheng Rong, who heard the sound of closing the door, came out of the back room quickly.

Seeing Gao Yuan come back, he quickly picked up the cold food on the table and was about to go into the house.

"You, don't be busy!"

Gao Yuan never admitted that the woman who had lived under the same roof as him for 11 years was his mother.

No matter how kind and kind the other party was to him, he never called his mother.

"Can't you be a little polite?"

Gao Dazhi, with a cigarette in his mouth, looked at Gao Yuan and wanted to get angry helplessly.

Gao Yuan looked at Zheng Rong who was stunned, and said calmly.

"Can you go to the back room first, I want to talk to my dad!"

"Okay, okay, let's talk!"

Zheng Rong quickly put down the dishes in her hand, turned around and went back to the house.

Watching Zheng Rong leave, Gao Yuan turned around, went to fetch some wine they drank at noon, put it on the table, and looked at Gao Dazhi.

"Dad, let's talk!"

Gao Yuan said while pouring wine.

Gao Dazhi sat down and looked at the strange plateau.

"You grandson, you won't cause trouble for me again, will you?"

Gao Yuan had a drink first.

After putting down the wine glass, his eyes were already red, and tears also fell down.

"Are you really messing with me again?"

Gao Dazhi became nervous.

"Dad, I've made up my mind and dropped out of school."

Gao Dazhi was stunned for a moment.

"Yuan'er, Dad..."

As soon as Gao Yuan waved his hand, he picked up the wine bottle directly and drank it sullenly.

"Yuan'er, stop drinking, don't scare me."

Gao Yuan drank the remaining half a bottle of wine.

After finishing drinking, he threw the wine bottle on the table and looked directly at Gao Dazhi.

"Dad, I'm up to you if you drop out of school, but I won't go to work, I've made up my mind, I'm going to be a soldier!"

Gao Dazhi was frightened.

"Why, being a soldier is very hard."

Gao Yuan said: "You said that the shooting I learned is useless, and you can't find a suitable job for me. Bullshit, why is it useless? Since I can't go to college, then I will go to the army. I want to prove that the shooting I learned , the effect is great, let me learn, and I will be able to make a difference in the army, so I decided to go to the army to play..."

As soon as Gao Yuan said this, he felt his stomach rolling.

"Wow!"

As soon as he turned around, he threw up.

"Original, original..."

Gao Dazhi quickly supported Gao Yuan and walked to the bathroom.

"What's the matter? How can you let him drink? He's a child!"

Zheng Rong heard the movement, came out, looked at the situation in the plateau, and questioned Gao Dazhi.

"He's grown up, man, what's the matter with some wine, my high-minded son..."

Gao Yuan was drunk, and most of the bottles of wine made him drunk. After drunk, he was full of ugly appearances.

But unexpectedly, as a father, Gao Dazhi smiled, and he laughed so happily.

After a lot of fuss, Gao Yuan finally calmed down, was helped back into the house by Gao Dazhi, and hugged to the bed.

Zheng Rong came in with a glass of water and put it on the bedside.

"He will definitely be thirsty when he wakes up. I added some salt to the water. Hey, how could you make him drink?"

"That's what I made him drink, and he drank it himself."

"Won't you stop it?"

"I, I forgot!"

Just when Zheng Rong was complaining about Zheng Dazhi, Gao Yuan spoke up.

"Old Gao, I'm going to be a soldier, I know, you like that boy Zheng Jun, but you don't like me, then I'll go far away, far away..."

Hearing Gao Yuan's drunken words, tears came to the corners of Zheng Rong's eyes.

Seeing this situation, Gao Dazhi was about to go to comfort him, but Zheng Rong rubbed his eyes and left.

"Yuan'er, Dad won't like you, you and Junjun are both good sons of Dad..."
