Chapter 232 Stubborn Character
Ding Xiang asked for leave and returned to the provincial capital. When she saw her daughter Ren Shuxia, she took her into her arms and hugged her tightly:
"Shuxia, I'm mom, tell mom, do you miss mom?"

"I think, of course I miss my mother, but I also miss my father. I haven't seen my father and mother for a long time." Ren Shuxia snuggled up to her mother happily.

"Your father, the work on the construction site is too busy now, he can't come back for the time being, wait until you have summer vacation, otherwise, mother will go home to pick you up to the construction site, and go to see father, how good!"

"Okay, mom, I'll sleep with you tonight, do you want to tell me a few more stories about people?" Ren Shuxia begged.

"Okay, okay, okay, mom promises you!" Ding Xiang smiled and agreed to her daughter's request.

In the evening, Ren Shuxia finished her homework early, took her mother's hand after washing herself, and came to the bedroom of her father and mother. She smiled and said to her mother:
"Mom, let's start, the story will be longer!"

"Okay, then tonight I will tell you a story about the magic pen Ma Liang, okay?" Ding Xiang asked with a smile.

"No, that's a myth. I'm an adult now. I want to hear the story of the Little Red Army?" Ren Shuxia categorically rejected her mother's offer. She asked her mother to tell her the story of the Red Army.

"This, this, this..." Ding Xiang was speechless for a moment.

"What's the matter, mom, can't you tell the story of the Red Army?" Ren Shuxia asked curiously.

"You're right. Now that we're at the front line, when it comes to telling the story of the Red Army, I really don't know where to start?" Ding Xiang replied apologetically.

"Mom, tell me a story about "Sparkling Red Star". I like the story of the little hero Pan Dongzi growing up in a difficult environment?" Ren Shuxia said to her mother with a smile.

"Okay, okay, okay, mom will tell you now!" Ding Xiang said and began to tell the story of "Sparkling Red Star":
"Pan Dongzi, lives in Liuxi Village, Jiangxi Province. Dongzi's father was a Red Army soldier. He fought against the villainous local tyrant Hu Hansan in the village, but was unfortunately caught. He was rescued by the Red Army Red Guards in a critical situation. Xiuzhu is extremely worshiped. Liuxi Village had a happy life under the protection of the Red Guards. The good times don’t last long. The Red Army is going to the Long March, and Dongzi’s father will accompany him. When the father and son parted, Pan’s father presented Dongzi with a red star cap emblem. As an encouragement. After his father left, only a small number of red guards were left in Liuxi Village. At this time, the big traitor Hu Hansan hired a group of cold-blooded killers to return to Liuxi Village and occupy Liuxi Village again. Dongzi had to go away with his mother with the Red Guards. During a counterattack by the red guards, Pan’s mother sacrificed to save everyone. Later, Pan Dongzi defeated Hu Hansan by virtue of his bravery and wisdom, and became a little red army.”

Ren Shuxia listened to her mother tell the touching story of Pan Dongzi, her eyes widened, she listened intently...

She sympathizes with Pan Dongzi, but admires his bravery and wisdom.Ren Shuxia looked at the red scarf hanging on her clothes, and only then did she realize how difficult it is to live a happy life now!This sacred red scarf is the sweat of many people!She suddenly remembered when she joined the team in the first grade...

"I am a member of the Chinese Young Pioneers, and I swear under the team flag: I am determined to follow the leadership of the Communist Party of China, study hard, work hard, and work hard, and I am ready to contribute all my strength to the Communist Party of China."

Ren Shuxia thought of this, suddenly raised her head, and said to Ding Xiang:

"Mom, no matter how difficult the environment is, Pan Dongzi is always strong. He is a role model for us to learn from!"

Ding Xiang looked at her immature daughter, with her stubborn appearance, an inexplicable feeling arose in her heart, she hugged her daughter tightly into her arms, and said to her softly:

"Shuxia, my mother is really touched when she sees you are so sensible, you are such a good boy!"

Ren Shuxia raised her small face, she pouted suddenly, and said a little angrily:
"Mom, I'm not called Shuxia anymore. I'm called Hongjun. When I'm at home, grandma and grandpa call me Little Hongjun!"

"Okay, okay, okay, my daughter, mother will call you Little Red Army from now on!" Ding Xiang said, patting Ren Shuxia's back lightly.

Ren Shuxia lay in her mother's arms, deeply smelling her mother's unique fragrance, slowly, slowly closed her eyes, and gradually fell into a sweet dreamland...

During the period when her mother came home, Ren Shuxia felt very happy. Every day when she went to and from school, her mother would pick her up at the gate of the school. She even deliberately, in front of the little fat boy, once when her mother picked her up from school, Pointing to her mother with a happy face, she said:
"This is my mother, she is here to pick me up!"

"Hello, Auntie!" The little fat boy greeted Ding Xiang politely.

"Hello! Please help Ren Shuxia more in the future, okay?" Ding Xiang said with a smile.

"No problem, Ren Shuxia and I are good friends! We help each other learn!"

When the little fat boy said this, he winked at Ren Shuxia vigorously, as if he was afraid that she would say something.

Ren Shuxia knew what was on his mind, so she said to Ding Xiang with a smile on her face;
"Mom, don't worry, he is my good friend!"

Ding Xiang stood aside, watching the intimate conversation between the two of them with a smile on her face, secretly feeling amused in her heart, in fact, Ren Shuxia's class teacher, Mrs. Lu, had met with her to discuss everything that happened in school during this time. Teacher Lu also suggested that she and Ren Shuxia's father, when they are free at work, go home to spend more time with their children. Which child does not want their own father and mother? They all hope to be with their father in all the happiness and sorrow they experience during their growth stage. , Mom experienced and shared together.

Thinking of this, Ding Xiang felt that what Teacher Lu said was very reasonable. An adult can't say that he ignores his family and the feelings of his relatives just for work, especially his own children yearn for their parents' love for them...

Therefore, during these days at home, Ding Xiang met Ren Shuxia's any request, some even excessive requests, and she tried her best to satisfy her, so that Ren Shuxia could feel her mother's deep love for her...

Days go by day by day, the time when mother and daughter get together is happy and short, and in a blink of an eye, the holiday period is up, and Ding Xiang has to pack her bags again and set off to work on the front line of the electrified railway project thousands of miles away from home , just when their mother and daughter were about to separate, Ding Xiang was pleasantly surprised to find that her daughter Ren Shuxia did not cry for the first time, but waved to her with a smile on her face:
"Mom, when you arrive at the construction site, say hello to Dad for me, and you tell him, I will go to the construction site to visit him after my summer vacation!"

"Okay, okay, okay, mom promises you, Shuxia, you are at home alone, you should listen to the teacher more, grandma and grandpa are old and not in good health, usually do your own things, if you are capable, do it yourself, Do you know?" Ding Xiang reluctantly said to her daughter.

Ren Shuxia glanced at Ding Xiang, suddenly pouted her small mouth, and said with an unhappy face:
"Mom, you called me Shuxia again, now I'm called Hongjun!"

"Okay, okay, Red Army!" Mother Ding Xiang quickly changed her words after hearing her daughter's complaint.

Ren Shuxia, grandma and grandpa sent her mother to the bus station all the time. After Ding Xiang got on the bus, Ren Shuxia stared at the bus that was gradually going away until she could no longer see it, and then reluctantly followed her grandma and grandpa back home .

That night, little Ren Shuxia lay on her bed and had a sweet dream. She grew up and really became a Red Army. However, she is the Red Army in electrification. on the battlefield...
