Persuading He Baoguo
"No need to thank me. This is what I should do!”He Baoguo waved his hand and said," The country owes you and your son too much. Now, you're here to serve the country. How can such a small matter be considered helping?”
"By the way, Grandpa He, I saw Uncle Fan on the way here today! I couldn't get off the bus at that time, so I didn't see him.”After he was done with his own matters, Guo Xiao Tian's mind was active again. He decided to change the topic. He thought of Fan Tian Lei and decided to trick him and steal some of his original scenes.
"Fan Tianlei? Did he come to Nanjing? Why didn't you come to see me?"
"Uncle Fan probably has something on! At that time, I saw him holding a camouflage backpack in the car and testing something on two teenagers who were about my age.。。One of the young men looked like the champion of the Asian Youth Boxing Competition that I saw on TV. His name was He Chenguang. Just now, I saw Uncle He's portrait and felt that he looked similar to He Chenguang.。。”As he spoke, Guo Xiao Tian looked at He Baoguo in surprise, his eyes full of questions.
"The champion of the Asian Youth Boxing Competition? He Chenguang? What you saw was your and Uncle He's son!”When He Baoguo heard Guo Xiao Tian, he first smiled, then frowned and thought," It's just that…"。。What was Fan Tianlei doing looking for Chen Guang?”
"Our country implements the autumn conscription system. It's already August now, and there's not much time left before the September conscription begins. Uncle Fan came to Donghai at this time to look for Chenguang.。。”Guo Xiao Tian voiced out the 'guess' in his heart. However, he hid half of his words, making people think that it was really just his guess.
"Humph! This Fan Tianlei actually wants to snatch Chenguang from me!”How could He Baoguo not understand the meaning behind Guo Xiao Tian's words? He was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"Grandpa He, you don't seem to want Chenguang to join the army?”Seeing He Baoguo's angry face, Guo Xiaotian asked tentatively.
"Hey... Xiaotian, our He family has been in the army for generations. I joined the army during the War to Resist the United States and aid Korea, and I was a sniper. I bled and was injured on the battlefield. My son, your Uncle He, also sacrificed his precious life for the motherland. We father and son have also made our due contributions to this country. Now, only Chenguang is left. I want to keep him by my side. The mission of being a soldier is enough for your Uncle He. It should be stopped! Chenguang should have his own life!”He Baoguo sighed and said to Guo Xiaotian.
"Grandpa He, I understand what you're saying. However, your words…I'm still very surprised."
Although Guo Xiao Tian had pointed out the problem in advance because he wanted to steal Fan Tian Lei's role, his admiration for soldiers had never changed, whether it was in his previous life or this life. Although He Baoguo had sacrificed two generations for the country, which was indeed worthy of admiration, every hot-blooded man had the responsibility and obligation to contribute his strength to the country's strength and national defense. As an elder, an old revolutionary soldier, He could not and should not stop his descendants from following in their father's footsteps, as long as he was willing to do so.
"Kid, if you have something to say, say it directly. Don't hesitate! Since he was going to be a soldier, he had to be straightforward!”He Baoguo could hear the dissatisfaction and disapproval in Guo Xiao Tian's voice.
"Then... I told you, Grandpa He, don't be angry.”Guo Xiaotian was still very respectful to an old man who had sacrificed his life and his son's life for the motherland. He was worried that his words would make the old man unhappy.
"Tell me, Grandpa He won't be angry!”He Baoguo could tell what Guo Xiaotian was worried about at a glance. He waved his hand and said indifferently.
"I remember when I was young, there was once when my father came back to visit my mother and me. At that time, I pestered my father to tell me stories about the army. "I remember that when my father and Uncle He were about to set off to participate in the defense of the southern border, you were still the commander of their group army. Dad told me that you were the one who mobilized 128 of them at the 81st Group Army's reconnaissance team's swearing-in ceremony. There was never a period of peace for soldiers. There were only times of war and preparation for war. Moreover, there were only times when they died in battle, not when they were scared to death!”
"Back then, I was very young and didn't understand what Dad meant. I only remember that when Dad said this, his eyes shone with a sharp and determined light, which left a deep impression on me to this day.”
Guo Xiaotian glanced at He Baoguo, who was deep in thought, and continued to speak. He even shared his personal experience.
"Moreover, for a child, especially a boy, a father's love is as heavy as a mountain. It's not just for show. A father holds an extraordinary weight in their hearts. A father's influence on his son is irreplaceable, not even Grandpa He!”
" Ten years ago, when I heard that my father had sacrificed himself, I did not fall into prolonged grief like my mother. Instead, I quickly wiped my tears and began ten years of hard training, so that I could join the army when I grew up and inherit my father's will to walk the path that he had not finished! Chenguang lost his father at a young age like me. I think Chenguang has the same thoughts as me.”
"Grandpa He, Chenguang has grown up. He has his own ideas. Previously, you insisted on not letting him join the army. He respected you, so he hid his thoughts deep in his heart. Now that Uncle Fan has appeared, it must have evoked his dream of joining the army. Although if you insist on your opinion, he will still follow your advice to go to university, find a job, get married, and have children. However, the knot in his heart towards Uncle He will never be untied. He will never be truly happy!”
