Chapter 233:

After the war was over, the soldiers returned to the rear barracks before they started calling or writing letters at home to report safety.
After Su Yu received calls from Li Ping and Su Xiaozhi, she finally felt relieved.
ended.
After experiencing war, peace is even more precious. Although Su Yu didn't go to the battlefield, she didn't want to experience this reminding mood anymore. It is better to have a peaceful society, do a good job of people's livelihood, develop the economy, and let the people live a good life.
Su Yu called Song Dongzheng again.
She could hear Li Ping say that she ran into Jianghu on the battlefield, and Jianghu was fine. She knew that Song Dongzheng must also miss Jianghu.
After Song Dongzheng got the news, he let out a long sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "I knew this kid was dead. I told you that the devil used to bomb me. When he was a soldier, nothing happened."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Comrade Dongzheng, the war is over. Now it's time for us to show our ability. Do you have confidence?"
Song Dongzheng was full of fighting spirit, "Of course, you will be waiting for me in the city next year."
Because the war was over, all the agencies and units were also relieved. Especially the logistics. Transporting supplies before, can now stop.
At the end of the year, all provinces were commended from above, because Secretary Liang and Secretary Qiu had done a good job of road construction and the materials were the most active, so the province also won a small amount of recognition.
Although the recognition is not outstanding, it is also an honor to stand out in many provinces.
Jiangdong City also contributed the most to this road construction, so Secretary Qiu was also praised by the province. Even Su Yu also followed. When I went to the province to hold a meeting, I had a face. Secretary Su's name also spread among the secretaries.
Inside these secretaries. Secretary Cheng, who is next to Secretary Liang, knows most clearly. A large part of this road construction is due to the opinions raised by Secretary Su, which he heard from Secretary Liang.
So now Su Yu is not only a person with a good social circle in his eyes, but also a capable person who is appreciated by the leader.
Such a person deserves more attention from him.
When Secretary Qiu came to the province to report to Secretary Liang, Su Yu was also welcomed by Secretary Cheng.
As the major secretary in the province, Secretary Cheng is usually warmly greeted by others, and he doesn't give a single look. This time, being able to take the initiative to pour Su Yu tea, almost blinded others.
Su Yu exaggeratedly took the teacup in his hand, "Secretary Cheng, this is embarrassing. How can I let you pour some water? I will do it myself."
"It's okay. The comrades in your city have worked hard too. When you come here, you always have to drink hot tea. By the way, Comrade Su Yu, now the front line is over. Has your classmate returned?"
"Come back, Comrade Chairman is right, all enemies are paper tigers."
Secretary Cheng smiled and said, "That's good. By the way, we will have a New Year's dinner before the New Year, and a few comrades we know will gather together. Would you like to join in the fun?"
There is no need to join in the excitement, but it is necessary to know people. Su Yu smiled and said, "I can't ask for it. The comrades that Secretary Cheng knows are definitely like-minded comrades with us."
"Hahaha, it's true, it's all talkable."
On the way back, Su Yu and Secretary Qiu reported Secretary Cheng's invitation.
After all, this kind of private contact with comrades in the province should be paid attention to.
When Secretary Qiu heard that Secretary Cheng was invited, he looked at Su Yu and said, "Xiao Su, you are very popular."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Others are all looking at your face. I'm all exposed."
"Go, it's okay for comrades to gather for dinner in private. Just pay attention to what you talk about."
Su Yu said, "Well, I'm just going to have a meal."
Secretary Qiu laughed, "Listen to you, Xiao Song treated you badly."
Su Yu also laughed, "Don't tell me, just think about it. I went to the restaurant once a week before I got married. After getting married, I haven't been there for half a year. When he comes back, I have to remind him."
In Jinhe County, Song Dongzheng is picking fat sheep and pigs in the farm. As the first batch of pigs and sheep to be slaughtered, Song Dongzheng still attaches great importance to it.
He is going to add some meat to the production team at the breeding site, which is an encouragement to them and let them know that farming in the mountains is good. Then choose something to reward the cadres in the county and let them taste the sweetness. Increase support for breeding in the coming year. This meat can't be taken for nothing. You don't need a meat ticket, but the money must be given. Farms need to spend money, how can they spend public money to eat private meat?
The most important thing is that in this way, he can justify buying more meat and go back. It’s not easy to take the meat for nothing, so it’s easy to buy it yourself. When the time comes, buy more and go back, so that the family can eat a lot of meat during the New Year. And Su Yu's family has to split some points. It's okay for him to eat less than two bites, but he has been busy for so long, and even his parents and daughters-in-law have not taken care of them. He always has to get some meat back to compensate them.
Well, I have to call my daughter-in-law to ask for advice. After all, it costs money. After all, Comrade Su Yu is in charge of the accounts, so he can't spend money indiscriminately.
Looking at the pigs and sheep who were still running, Song Dongzheng smiled and his eyes glowed. The pigs and sheep who were watching started to cry.
"Lao Zhou, pick a good day and start work. The meat should be allocated before the New Year." The boy Jiang Hu said that he might come over during the New Year and let him have a good meal. The war is over, and the people's life will be better.
…………
At the beginning of January 1963, the situation on the front line completely stabilized.
In the southwest camp, soldiers conscripted from all over the country have begun to pack their bags and return to their military districts. Large military trucks stopped on the side of the road, and soldiers lined up to get on.
Some soldiers have fought side by side, and now they are going to parte, and they all embraced and said goodbye one by one.
Li Ping will also follow the car from the provincial military area.
When getting into the car, Jiang Hu gave her a necklace made of bullet shells and hung it around her neck. "The first shot I fired in the southwest hit the first enemy."
Li Ping touched the bullet shell hanging around her neck, and her face became hot again with cold redness. She took out a used pen from her pocket and put it in Jiang Hu's hand. "I have been using it to write since school. The manuscript is used. It's been a long time."
Jiang Hu squeezed happily, but he was not embarrassed to express his face, so he could only look at her with a smile.
"Can I write to you often? Just use this pen to write to you."
"Yeah." Li Ping nodded.
Jiang Hu said again, "During Chinese New Year, if I have time, I will go to Jiangdong to see Brother Song... Well, can I visit you at your house?"
Li Ping opened her mouth in surprise.
"It doesn't matter if it is inconvenient, we can also meet outside." Jiang Hu also found himself a little anxious, and immediately changed his words.
He wanted to know more about Li Ping's life. Want to be more intimate with her.
This is the best girl he has ever met, and he likes it very much in his heart.
"Let's talk at that time." Li Ping tried to calm down. My heart throbbed.
Hearing that Li Ping did not immediately refuse, Jiang Hu smiled even happier.
After getting in the car, Li Ping waved to Jianghu. He tightly held the necklace around his neck.
My heart is sour and warm. It turns out that this is what Sister Su said, the taste of love.
After a long journey, the vehicle of the Provincial Military Region finally returned to the provincial capital. Because I came back from the front line, when I entered the provincial capital, I was warmly greeted by the people on the road.
Knowing that Li Ping was back today, the children from the Provincial Military Region also ran out to greet the convoy. Li Ai-dang squeezed in the forefront. After watching for a long time, he recognized the eldest sister who was thin and had sores on her face. He immediately waved and shouted, "Big sister, big sister."
Li Ping did not hear a sound, but when she looked to the sides, she also saw people. After seeing them, Li Aidang waved his hands happily.
"Look, the eldest sister beckoned to me." Li Aidang smiled and pulled at the third sister Li Aijun next to her.
Li Aijun looked at her elder sister in surprise, "You see her like this when she loves the party. Being a soldier is so hard."
"Nonsense, being a soldier is the hardest thing. That's why the older sister has to train us like that."
Li Aijun really admired Li Ping, the eldest sister. If he changed to be himself, with frostbite on his face, he would definitely cry to death.
After everyone returned to the province, they first received the commendation, and then they were finally able to go back to rest. Li Ping left the provincial military area and went home with the children in the compound.
As soon as he got home, Li Guoliang also came back. The big stone in his heart was put down when he saw the girl return home well. "Really nothing?"
"It's okay." Li Ping said with a smile.
After experiencing this war, her mentality is different now. Compared with her a little bit of resentment, she now feels more peaceful. If you are good to her, she is thankful, and if you are not good to her, she does not complain. Treat it as usual.
In the face of life and death, many things are also looked down upon.
Mother Li also looked at her, "It's fine if it's okay, don't be so self-willed in the future. Study hard, what do you do in war, it is not your responsibility. The family is worried about you every day."
When Li Guoliang heard this, he looked at her unhappy, "What are you talking about, is it broken in the war?"
Mother Li said, "I just watch you worry about her every day. It didn't need to be..."
"It is everyone's responsibility to protect the home and the country. Pingping is right to go to war!"
Li Guoliang said solemnly.
Li's mother was criticized, and she kept her mouth shut. She knew she wanted to defend her family and the country, but she just felt that her daughter was not a soldier, and she obviously could not go, and did not cause trouble to the family, so she had to make trouble. Without her on the battlefield, one can't fight?
Li Ai Dang said, "Mom, the eldest sister is right to go. If I am not young, I want to go." Then he pulled Li Ping, "Sister, tell us about things on the battlefield."
Li Ping didn't have any emotions about Li's reaction. As if she hadn't heard anything, she heard Li Aidang's question about the battlefield and said, "I have written the battlefield notes. You can take it later."
"Wow, eldest sister, you have prepared too much." Li Aidang said happily.
Because of Li Ping's return, regardless of what Li's mother thought, what should be celebrated is still to be celebrated. When buying vegetables and meat, the family had a good meal. Of course, both Li Aidang and Li Aijun consciously let Li Ping eat more instead of rushing to eat like before.
They have heard that it is difficult to transport supplies on the front line, so they don't eat well on the battlefield.
Li Aihong saw that everyone's focus was on Li Ping, so she said, "Dad, I don't want to go to school, I want to join the army."
What's great, she can do what the eldest sister can do.
When Li Guoliang heard this, he glanced at her, ignored her, and continued to talk with Li Ping about frontline matters.
"Dad." Li Aihong shouted.
Li Guoliang frowned and said, "You make your own decisions, as long as you don't regret it later."
"I don't regret it." Li Aihong said.
Seeing that she was still stiff, Li Guoliang said solemnly, "Our Li family has no deserters. If you can't bear the hard time and want to come back, I will break your leg myself!"
Mother Li heard this and quickly said, "Aihong, you are studying hard, what are you doing in the army? There are enough soldiers in our family. Your eldest sister and your younger brother are going to join the army, why are you joining in the fun?"
Li Aijun raised his hand and said, "And me, mom, I'm going to be a literary soldier, I'm going to the Kao Wen Gong Troupe."
Mother Li: "..."
Li Aihong said, "I don't know how to be a deserter. I am also a soldier, and I am no worse than others."
Li Guoliang said, "Since you have a good idea, you can decide for yourself. But I won't leave any relationship to you. You are assigned wherever you are."
"What about the eldest sister, in the future, the eldest sister will join the army, and you won't let her get involved?"
Li Ping said, "I don't need it." She has a great advantage in joining the army as a college student.
Li Guoliang said, "Have you heard? Your eldest sister is the same, including loving the party."
Li Aidang immediately stated, "I don't need it either." Of course, the manly man must rely on himself. The elder sister said that she can't run far from home.
"Then I don't need it either," Li Aihong insisted. She felt that even if her father didn't help, those uncles and uncles knew her relationship, they would certainly not make her too disadvantaged.
When Li Guoliang heard that she had made a decision, he didn't want to continue talking about it, and said to Li Ping, "Pingping, eat quickly. After eating, we will go to the study to chat."
"Okay." Li Ping speeded up her eating.
