Let me love you more,
Only then will I have the motivation to update.
Su Xiao looked at the old green tent above her head,
There was still the buzzing sound of mosquitoes in her ears,
It made her once again sure that this was not a dream. She was really back.
It had been a few days since she was reborn. From the shock at the beginning, to the acceptance of the truth, to the joy and ambition that she was now.
In her previous life, she collapsed on the operating table from exhaustion,
When she opened her eyes again, she had already returned to the year when she was sixteen.
This year, it was the beginning of 1976. The ten-year turmoil had not really ended,
The Red Guards and the rebels were still very rampant. This year..,
That incident had not happened yet, and her father had not been tortured to death because of that incident,
There was still time for everything to be done. She swore that since she was back..,
In this life, she could not let that incident happen again.
Su Xiao's family..,
Was actually not bad at that time. Her father had joined the army long before liberation,
He retired from the army after the war against the US and the Korean War,
After returning to the village, he became the production leader. Her mother was the director of the village women's department,
She also had a high prestige in the village. Two brothers..,
The eldest brother was an intellectual. He went to the provincial capital to attend university in his early years, but because of the ten years of turmoil, he was demoted to the farm to become an educated youth. He had not returned since. The second brother had joined the army three years ago. Now that he had been promoted, he was doing very well. The third brother had a spot as a worker, farmer, and soldier student and entered Qingda University to study. It could be said that his future was not bad.
If it had not been for the incident that happened later, Su Xiao could be said to have grown up in a honey pot.
But everything ended in the spring of this year.
Because of the ten-year catastrophe, the school had not started classes for a long time. Many Red Guards had gathered in the school to rebel against the teachers. The suspension of classes had become the norm.
Su Xiao had not gone to school for a long time. She had been helping out at home. Occasionally, she would go to the brigade to earn some work points. There was not much work, just cutting Hogweed or goose grass. Sometimes, she would also sell the eggs or vegetables that had been saved for a long time in town.
There were workers in the town who also needed food. However, there wasn't much to sell, and they had to report it to the team. Otherwise, if they were found out, they would be cut off like the tail of capitalism.
It was not easy to speculate and resell. Once it was confirmed, it would be criticized.
That day, the family managed to save more than a dozen eggs. They went to the county market with the grain cart in the village. A close friend of the neighbor also went with them.
In the end, they encountered the rebels who were investigating the tail of capitalism that day and were entangled just like that. The leader of the rebel faction was called Hou Lai Zi, nicknamed Skinny Monkey. In his early years, he was an unemployed vagrant. When the Ten Years Calamity began, he gathered a group of people and became the leader of the rebel faction.
At that time, he had taken a fancy to Su Xiao. This kind of scene, which could only be seen in dramas, was actually happening to her. If she hadn't come out with the village's grain selling team, she might have really been killed by that person.
Originally, they thought that this matter was over. Unexpectedly, a few days later, Skinny Monkey came to propose marriage and asked the Su Family to marry Su Xiao to him.
How could Su Xiao's father agree? What right did a rebel faction's hooligan have to marry his beautiful daughter? However, he was afraid of the power of Skinny Monkey's rebel faction at that time, so he didn't dare to refuse openly. Instead, he secretly used his connections to send Su Xiao into the army.
This matter, they thought, was over.
However, they didn't expect Skinny Monkey to hold a grudge. He said that Su Xiao's father had been a traitor when he was fighting against the Japanese, so Su Xiao's father was criticized. That year, when Su Xiao's father was fighting against the Japanese, he was appointed by the organization to infiltrate the Japanese puppet army. This became the reason why Skinny Monkey was the first to criticize Su Xiao's father.
When Su Xiao found out, Su Xiao's father had already been criticized. Because he was beaten so badly that his internal organs were injured, he died of illness the second year after the Ten Years Calamity.
It could be said that this matter caused a disaster to the Su Family. Su Xiao had always blamed herself. She studied medicine for Su Xiao's father, but Su Xiao's father couldn't be saved in the end.
She should be glad that she was reborn at the right time. She was reborn before this incident happened. Otherwise, she might have continued the pain of her previous life.
Now that she was reborn, Su Xiao felt that this was a chance given to her by God, a chance for her to make up for it. If she met Skinny Monkey again, she must think of a way to get rid of this scourge. At least, she could make fewer people suffer.
She heard that the Su Family wasn't the only one who was harmed by him in her previous life.
"Lower your voice. Lanzi is still asleep." Just as she was thinking, her father's voice came from outside.
Her mother's voice became softer again. She was afraid that if she was too loud, she would really wake her daughter up.
Su Xiao was thinking about this. She couldn't lie down anymore. She got up and put on her clothes.
When she opened the door and went out, Su Xiao's father was wringing Hogweed in the yard. Su Xiao's mother, on the other hand, was busy in the kitchen.
Su Xiao's father looked up. "Lanzi, why are you up? Why didn't you sleep for a while? "
Lanzi was her nickname. Before she joined the army, she had always used this name. Later, she joined the army and became a soldier, so she gave herself a name: Su Xiao.
"Dad, I'll go to the fields with you guys today."
Working in the fields to earn work points was a common practice in the countryside. If an adult was paid ten points, then a minor would be paid five to nine points. It depended on the work they did and how proficient they were. If an adult could earn thirty cents for doing ten points, then a child could earn fifteen cents for helping out in the army. Therefore, many families with many children would let their children work in the army.
There were also many tasks that children could do in the army. For example, Hogweed harvesting in the wild. They could also do some light work in the army, such as picking beans, or other relaxing tasks.
Only the Su Family had never thought of letting Su Xiao work in the fields to earn work points. Other than being reluctant to let her do heavy work, there was also a direct reason. They wanted Su Xiao to continue going to school.
After all, Su Xiao's father had been in the army before. He had analyzed the country's situation. In their opinion, their daughter would have a bright future. Although school was closed now, they believed that the country couldn't stay in chaos forever. It was impossible for intellectuals to not be able to make a name for themselves. Therefore, they were also waiting for the right time. Moreover, their eldest son, Su Wenbin, had sent them a letter a few days ago, telling them not to delay his sister's schooling.
However, Su Xiao's thoughts were different from theirs.
She naturally knew that in a few months, the ten-year catastrophe would end. The country would resume the college entrance exam next year. As long as the college entrance exam resumed, it would be the future of the students. However, she still wanted to enter the army.
She had deep feelings for the army. When she had nothing back then, it was the director who taught her medical skills and sent her to the military school to further her studies. He even took Su Xiao's father to the hospital. However, Su Xiao's father was too sick at the time and couldn't be saved in the end.
However, she was grateful.
The army had given her a new lease of life and taught her. Until the moment she was reborn, she was still the director of the surgery department in the hospital.
For decades, she had been repeating the same profession. She had already poured her blood and flesh into this profession.
Now that she was starting over, she could naturally choose a new profession. For example, she could take the college entrance exam and get into a good university. However, what major could she choose? In the end, she would probably still choose a medical university. Since that was the case, she might as well return to the army. She had a special and inseparable feeling for the green army uniform.
More importantly, she wanted to meet him. Her husband in her previous life was Tong Gang. In this life, she couldn't let him sacrifice himself heroically in the winter of that year.
Therefore, she had to go to the army to prevent that from happening again.
"Lanzi, there's porridge in the kitchen. Eat it while it's hot. As for working in the fields, we'll talk about it later. Remember to feed the pigs at home. "As Su Xiao's mother spoke, she picked up two empty baskets and followed Su Xiao's father.
Su Xiao opened her mouth but didn't say anything in the end. She went to the kitchen and saw that there was indeed a bowl of porridge and a boiled egg. This was obviously for her.
As she chewed on the egg, she made up her mind to change the situation in her previous life. She couldn't let history repeat itself.
As she was eating, a shout came from outside the door. "Lanzi, are you there?"
Su Xiao responded and ran out to take a look. It was her close friend, Zhao Xueer, the granddaughter of Master Zhao next door.
Zhao Xueer was carrying a bamboo basket covered with a layer of cloth. When she saw Su Xiao eating, she glanced over and was shocked. "Lanzi, your parents are really good to you. Where's the egg?"
Su Xiao replied casually, "My mother said that I'm still growing and need nourishment."
Zhao Xueer said, "Your parents are the best. Not only do they study for you, but they also find ways to nourish your body. Unlike me, I'm lucky to have food at home."
Su Xiao looked at her and didn't say anything.
Although Zhao Xueer didn't become a soldier and eat the government's salary in her previous life, she was later married to a family in town and lived a good life.
Although Zhao Xue didn't go to school, she was smart and started her own business. She even became a big entrepreneur. Su Xiao still remembered that she had seen her before her rebirth. At that time, she was cutting the ribbon for a company and was living a better life than her.
The current Zhao Xue wasn't as smart and capable as the future Zhao Xue. She still followed behind her timidly and called her "Lanzi", "Lanzi".
"Lanzi, eat faster. We still have to go to the market to sell eggs. We can leave together with the grain transport team."
The word "market" exploded in her heart.
Su Xiao paused and said her thoughts, "I won't be going to the market."
With the enlistment, all of Su Xiao's relations were transferred, including household registration, food relations, and all other procedures, were all handled.
If one becomes a soldier, the whole family will be honored. Su Xiao was already wearing her military uniform with a big red flower in front of her chest. Although she didn't have a cap badge or collar badge, she looked valiant and heroic.
Although she was already mentally prepared, Su Xiao's mother couldn't hold it in anymore. She hugged her and cried.
The entire scene was filled with crying and the situation went out of control.
When they were finally sent to the truck, many people couldn't help but cry. Su Xiao looked at the disappearing figures and thought to herself, "Dad, Mom, I'll try my best to live a good life."
She thought that they would be sent directly to Y Brigade's Hospital 021. She didn't expect that they would be sent to the Y Brigade's second regiment's recruit camp.
However, they weren't going to the camp either. They were going to a place called Green Altar Ridge.
It was about 500 kilometers away from the city. Y Brigade's camp was located in the city, so Green Altar Ridge was actually a small mountain valley. It was surrounded by mountains and looked very desolate.
When they first arrived, Su Xiao only felt a sense of familiarity. After thinking for a while, she remembered that this was the Green Altar Ridge where a close combat battle had taken place.
She remembered that Tong Gang was injured here. It wasn't a serious injury, but he had to recuperate for a long time before returning to the army.
She didn't expect that their recruit training would be held here.
The person who welcomed them was the recruit camp's instructors and direct leaders. There were about a dozen of them. Other than that, there was the entire team of soldiers who were training at another venue. Among these leaders, she saw an unexpected figure and was slightly stunned.
"I'm your chief instructor, Tong Gang." His cold voice was exceptionally loud in this spacious camp. At the same time, it also irritated Su Xiao's ears.
Looking at these recruits with young faces, their ages ranged from 15 to 18 years old. They all had some connections in their families. Many of them were the children of cadre leaders. Tong Gang felt frustrated. What was going on?
Early this morning, he was called to the recruit camp by a phone call. The reason was that he was needed to lead a group of female soldiers to train.
He had endless training to do. The male soldiers' mission was already imminent. Yet, he was called here to train a group of female soldiers? He didn't understand what the higher-ups were thinking. Why would they send a battalion cadre like him to train these newly recruited female soldiers?
He didn't understand, but a soldier's duty was to obey orders. Even if he didn't understand, he had to complete the mission resolutely.
At this moment, the female soldiers were looking at the instructors in front of them curiously. Their dark eyes kept darting around. Some of them even had other thoughts in their minds, but they didn't dare to show it.
Among the female soldiers, Su Xiao was the only one who remained calm. She had already experienced the years of being a soldier in her previous life. She even participated in the self-defense war against Vietnam. She was baptized on the battlefield. She carried a medical box to various locations and bandaged the wounded soldiers. She wasn't even afraid of death, so why would she be afraid of this little training?
The only thing that made her unable to calm down was the Tong Gang in front of her.
After going through so many twists and turns in this life, their fate was still closely linked. When she saw the Tong Gang again, she had mixed feelings.
Receiving Su Xiao's gaze, Tong Gang looked over. He saw a young female soldier with rosy lips and white teeth. She was at most 17 years old. She was as beautiful as a spring onion. Such a female soldier would be a pillar of the Arts and Crafts Regiment. It was very surprising that she would become a military doctor in a hospital.
However, he was only stunned for a moment. He immediately straightened his face and said to the female soldiers, "You are all here to be soldiers, not to enjoy life. Don't think of yourselves as pampered ladies. There are no pampered ladies here. There are only soldiers and doctors who might go to the battlefield in the future. If you want to enjoy life, then pack up and leave. The army isn't a place for you to play around. "
Tong Gang's voice was cold and firm. He didn't show any mercy. He didn't treat them nicely just because they were female soldiers.
Incorruptible and selfless. This was given to him by his soldiers.
The female soldiers started whispering. Some of them were mesmerized by Tong Gang's robust figure. Their eyes were filled with red stars. There were also some who felt that this instructor was too cold. They were all female soldiers. Although they were soldiers, they were only military doctors. They weren't female soldiers in the field. How could they be compared to these soldiers?
Only Su Xiao stood there quietly. She didn't participate in the female soldiers' discussion.
Tong Gang glanced at the group of female soldiers. His sharp gaze made the female soldiers not dare to speak in private. He said, "Since you are all so excited, then you can start training now."
The female soldiers were stunned. They wanted to cry out, but no one dared to move under Tong Gang's sharp gaze.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything? Didn't you have a lot of opinions? "Tong Gang repeated.
The field was silent.
"That's more like a soldier. Remember, I don't accept soldiers who don't listen to me. Don't think that I can treat you differently just because you are female soldiers. I don't accept special treatment. If you want to be a pampered lady, then go home! "
Tong Gang's voice was cold. It could be said that if they dared to say anything, they would be sent away.
Seeing that the female soldiers didn't cause any more trouble, he nodded his head in satisfaction. He threw the female soldiers to the instructors and returned to his office.
