This was an anti-counterfeit label,
An abnormal stamp, after the purchase ratio was qualified, it would show a normal stamp.
Mother Su said, "At that time, your father had already retired from the army,
Political Commissar Tong and his son came to see your father. At that time, I was pregnant with you. It was that kid from the Tong family who said that I was pregnant with his wife. Later on, your father agreed to this matter. "
When she thought of what happened back then,
Mother Su smiled until her eyes narrowed into a line.
Back then, that child touched her stomach and said, "Auntie, my father said that you are pregnant with my wife. Is that true?" At that time,
How old was he? He was only six or seven years old,
He actually knew the word "wife"? It must have been the child taught by the Political Commissar Tong,
This old fellow must have had his eyes on her daughter since a long time ago.
However,
She did like this child, Gangzi.
Su Xiao was dumbfounded when she heard this,
She really didn't expect that it was already a new society,
Her father actually still had such thoughts,
A child marriage? She didn't expect that she had already been set for life before she was born.
"Dad, Mom,
It's already a new society now, how can you still have such thoughts? "
Father Su said with a straight face, "Why can't this matter work? The great man said,
All relationships with the purpose of marriage,
That's not playing hooligans. At that time, you were having a good relationship with the Gangzi,
Isn't that free love? "
Other things..,
Father Su could promise her anything, but this matter was the only thing that he insisted on. This was a marriage arranged between them brothers. How could he go back on his word just because he couldn't bear to see his daughter sad? Did he still want this old face of his?
"I've seen Gangzi before. This child is honest. Lanzi will definitely not be at a disadvantage if she marries him." Mother Su also felt that Tong Gang was a good child. He was the best candidate for a good son-in-law.
Su Xiao didn't know how to explain this free love to her parents. The two of them didn't have any feelings for each other, but their parents had arranged the marriage. This was an arranged marriage.
She thought to herself, 'I have to find this man one day and clearly analyze his relationship with him. I have to break off this engagement.'
As for the matter of the county's security team coming to investigate the case tomorrow, Su Xiao didn't care about it. Anyway, as long as she didn't appear, it wouldn't attract the attention of the skinny monkey. She just wanted to cancel this marriage.
There were some people and some things that couldn't be avoided just by avoiding them.
In her previous life, she had met a skinny monkey on the street. In the end, her family had been destroyed. After her rebirth, Su Xiao had been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the disasters of her previous life, but some things were also quietly changing with the wings of the little butterfly she was reborn with.
The arrival of Skinny Monkey-Head's security team undoubtedly told Su Xiao that if this matter was not handled properly, it was possible to repeat the same mistake.
On this day, Father Su went to the village committee early in the morning. Mother Su didn't go immediately. Although she was the village women's director, she could take a break since Father Su was already there.
Su Xiao stayed in her room and was bored. She didn't go anywhere. It was Father Su who strictly ordered her to stay in her room and not go anywhere. The atmosphere in the village today was too tense. She didn't want to get into trouble.
In fact, even if Father Su didn't remind her, she would still obediently stay in her room and not go out. After all, Skinny Monkey-Head's matter gave her a lot of psychological pressure. In this kind of special situation, if she could avoid it, then she would avoid it. If she couldn't avoid it, then she would think of ways to minimize the damage.
She was lying on the bed, filtering the things that happened in the past two days in her mind. When she filtered to her father's old partner, Political Commissar Tong, and her fiancé, Tong Gang, a fragment flashed in her mind like lightning. It was about her previous life.
At that time, she had already joined the army and was a student under the director. In the hospital, she met her previous life's husband, Tong Gang. Under the hospital's director's matchmaking, the two of them got married. He told her that his father was the Provincial Military Political Commissar. After he completed this mission, he would bring her home to meet his parents. But that year, she didn't see Tong Gang. Instead, she received news of his death. He was killed in the war with Vietnam that year. He was blown up by a grenade and didn't even leave a corpse behind.
How long had they been married that year?
This became her eternal pain. In her previous life, she didn't remarry until the moment of her death.
As she was thinking, she suddenly sat up. At first, when her father talked about his old partner, Political Commissar Tong, she didn't think about Tong Gang. But just now, she suddenly remembered this matter.
That year, before the counterattack had started, the Yue Kingdom was always harassing the border. Over there, everyone was a soldier. When you met them, they would be women or children. But in the next moment, these women and children would turn into soldiers and suddenly attack you.
At that time, the Tong Gang was confused by the enemy and thought that they were ordinary children. In the end, they fell into the enemy's trap and died in the winter of that year.
If she remembered correctly, that year was 1977. Wasn't that next year?
If the Tong Gang's father, Political Commissar Tong, was her father's old partner, Political Commissar Tong, then wouldn't the husband who died in the war with Vietnam be her fiancé? At that time, when her father talked about this child betrothal, she didn't think about him. Now that she thought about it, the two of them were probably the same person.
She suddenly sat up, hurriedly got off the bed and ran out of the door.
In the yard, Mother Su was mixing pig food and was about to feed the pigs when she saw her daughter rush out of the room. She almost spilled the pig food in her hands. She was even more shocked when she saw that her daughter had a rash on her face. She thought that her daughter was sick and quickly went up to her. "Lanzi, what's wrong? Your face … "
"Mom, don't worry about my face. I have something to ask you." Su Xiao didn't care about her face. This was the result she wanted. Now, she wanted to know the truth about something else. She asked, "Mom, is Dad's old comrade the Political Commissar Tong of the military district?"
Mother Su was stunned for a moment and shook her head. "I don't know who he is now or what his position is. I only know that the last time he came to our house was ten years ago. It was the year when the movement first took off. At that time, he was already the Chief of Staff. "
Su Xiao was almost certain that the two Political Commissar Tongs were the same person. The truth would be revealed when her father came back from the military.
"Lanzi, your face …" Mother Su only had eyes for her daughter's rash covered face. It looked really scary.
Su Xiao reached out and touched her face. Was it really that scary? She went over and took a look at herself in the mirror. Her face was covered with red rashes. It looked really disgusting and scary.
She nodded her head in satisfaction. Yes, that medicine was really good. The effect was very obvious.
"Lanzi …" Mother Su was anxious and angry.
Su Xiao comforted her. "Mom, it's okay. I just ate something bad. I'll be fine soon."
Mother Su opened her mouth and thought to herself, This girl doesn't care about her face at all. I hope it doesn't leave a scar. I have to go to Quan Shu to get some medicine. I really don't want to disfigure her. Otherwise, a good face will be really ugly if it's ruined.
Su Xiao didn't know what her mother was thinking. She was very satisfied with the juice she boiled last night. She just smeared a little and the effect was so obvious. Although it looked a little disgusting, she was happy when she thought about its effects.
It didn't matter if it was good medicine or poison. As long as it could help her, it was good medicine.
Mother Su didn't want to feed the pigs anymore. She planned to go to the village's old Chinese medicine doctor, Quan Shu, to get some medicine for the rashes. It wouldn't be good if it really left a scar.
Just as she was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door from outside. There was also a shout.
"Lanzi, hurry into the house. Don't get sick from the wind. I'll go take a look and see what's going on. "
Su Xiao had already taken a headscarf-like thing and wrapped it around her face. Her whole head was wrapped tightly, only revealing two black eyes.
Mother Su had already left the courtyard and saw the security team outside like bandits, destroying things everywhere.
In the Zhao family next door, Father Zhao and Mother Zhao didn't go to the police station. The two of them were lazy. Now that they had an excuse to not go to work, they couldn't ask for more. Zhao Xueer wasn't at home. She went to San Dong Tou early in the morning. She originally wanted to ask Su Xiao out, but because Su Xiao closed the door and didn't come out, she had to give up and go to San Dong Tou alone to cut Hogweed.
Just like that, she coincidentally bumped into Skinny Monkey-Head.
Skinny Monkey-Head was extremely ugly. He was bald and had a bit of scabby hair. Even though he was quite powerful now, no girls were willing to marry him. They all avoided him. Therefore, he rarely saw beautiful girls. The ones he saw were all old married women. Even the younger wives avoided him.
However, he bumped into Zhao Xueer just like that.
Zhao Xueer was really beautiful. She was one of the top beauties in Sanhe Village. In the village, other than Sheng Xue, there was also Su Xiao. Only her beauty lived up to her name.
Although Father Zhao's genes weren't good and he looked ordinary, Mother Zhao was very beautiful. She had married Father Zhao because she had escaped from the famine. She didn't have anything to eat. The Zhao family was willing to give her a few mouthfuls of food, so she married Father Zhao.
In that era, it was good enough to have a mouthful of food. For a little bit of food, it wasn't like it hadn't happened before.
When Zhao Xueer was entangled, there was no one around. In the past, there would be people working near San Dong Tou at that time. However, there was no one today. Obviously, it was because of Skinny Monkey-Head's arrival that everyone avoided him. Only Zhao Xueer was chased out of the house early to cut Hogweed because of her parents.
When Zhao Xueer saw Skinny Monkey-Head, she was scared out of her wits …
…
The noise outside was so loud that it was hard to ignore it.
When Mother Su opened the courtyard door and went out, Su Xiao followed her out. She saw Zhao Xueer being carried by Skinny Monkey-Head to the back seat of the bicycle.
The people from the security team were all riding a type 28 bicycle. The bicycle wasn't new, but it was really good at the time.
Zhao Xueer's face was full of tears. Father Zhao and Mother Zhao stood at the door, but no one dared to go up. They could only watch their daughter being pulled onto the bicycle.
Zhao Xueer was so scared that she wanted to scream. Her sharp eyes saw Su Xiao standing at the door and looking outside. Her face was covered with a cloth, obviously afraid that someone would recognize her. Beside her, Mother Su was shielding her with her body as if she was protecting her calf. She was protecting her from the security team members' gazes.
They were both parents, but why did her parents treat her like a good-for-nothing? They beat and scolded her whenever they wanted. Why did the Su Family, from Su Family's parents to her two brothers, treat Su Xiao like a treasure?
Comparing oneself to others would really anger one to death. If she didn't compare, she would feel better.
"Aren't you looking for Su Lan? Isn't she over there? "Zhao Xueer suddenly shouted.
The strictness of the recruitment of female soldiers was not inferior to that of male soldiers.
There were many male soldiers, so as long as their families had some connections, many of them would be let go even if there were some flaws in the physical examination. However, the background check was very strict. No matter how good your relationship was, if you couldn't pass the background check, you would directly pack up and go home.
It was different for female soldiers. Not only was the physical examination strict, but the background check was even more so.
The unit that Su Xiao wanted to enter was the most professional hospital in the exploration team. Therefore, compared to other units, it was stricter. It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but Hu Tuan had informed the other side that the recruitment for this batch of female soldiers was strict. There couldn't be any carelessness.
Although Hu Tuan was only the leader of the Arts and Crafts Regiment, her husband was the chief of staff of the military region. Although she was currently at home waiting to be investigated, her family was also a reputable family. Therefore, many units were willing to give her face.
When Su Xiao's recruitment notice came, she was at home taking care of her skin.
Her skin had an accident when she dealt with Skinny Monkey some time ago. Although the rash on her face had subsided, the quality of her skin hadn't returned to normal. When she touched it, she could feel the rough and uneven skin. Even if she didn't like to look good, she wasn't in a good mood right now.
"Let's go to Quan Shu's place to take a look," Mother Su suggested.
Although the rash on her daughter's face had disappeared, the rough skin left behind made her heart ache. She hated Zhao Xueer even more. That damned girl.
Su Xiao also knew that the only way to recover her rough skin in a short period of time was to use Chinese medicine.
The recovery period for her skin was 28 days. However, she was about to participate in the physical examination for recruitment. If the doctor saw her unhealthy skin, it would be fine if they didn't make things difficult for her. However, what if they used this as an excuse to make things difficult for her?
Therefore, if she wanted her skin to recover in a short period of time, she had to listen to her mother and look for Grandpa Quan.
Grandpa Quan's full name was Yang Dequan. He wasn't originally from Sanhe Village. He came to Sanhe Village before liberation and settled down later on.
He didn't have any other skills. However, he was a master of Chinese medicine passed down from his ancestors. Whether it was acupuncture or Chinese medicine, nothing was difficult for him.
In her previous life, Su Xiao had wanted to learn Chinese medicine from him. Unfortunately, he only passed it down to males and not females. In the end, she had no choice but to give up. Now that she looked at him again, she realized that Grandpa Quan's hair had turned white. He was indeed old.
Yang Dequan only glanced at her and pointed to a chair at the side, indicating for her to sit there.
Su Xiao sat down obediently. Then, she saw Yang Dequan bring out a basin. There were some black things in the basin that had been smashed to pieces. However, she had stayed in the hospital for decades. Even though she had been practicing Western medicine, some Chinese medicine still couldn't escape her nose. She sniffed and said, "This is a mixture of scorpions and centipedes mixed with some other medicine." However, she was puzzled. Weren't scorpions and centipedes supposed to relieve pain and wind? With this thought in mind, she naturally blurted out her question.
"Scorpions and centipedes are poisonous. Although they are used to relieve pain and wind, they can be combined with other medicines to make other medicines. These can only be understood after learning medicine." Yang Dequan said as he mixed the medicine, "Girl, your nose is quite sharp. You are indeed born to learn medicine. I heard that you want to become a military doctor? "
"Yes, Grandpa Quan. The quota has already been filled. As long as I pass the background check, I can report. "Su Xiao said with her eyes downcast.
Yang Dequan looked at her deeply, a smile on his face, and his tone became more amiable: "Not bad, little girl, you have a lot of ideas, and you have a bright future. In the future, you will have great prospects. In the future, don't forget Three River Village."
Su Xiao hurriedly said, "Grandpa Quan, you are the most famous and respected person in our village."
"Girl, why is your mouth suddenly smeared with honey? Are you thinking about this old man's medical skills?" Although Yang Dequan's face was smiling, his eyes were very sharp. He stared straight at Su Xiao, not allowing her to lie at all.
Su Xiao said, "Of course I want to. However, I know that Grandpa Quan's acceptance of disciples depends on fate. I don't dare to have extravagant hopes."
It was like this in her previous life. In the end, Grandpa Quan didn't teach anyone. Even when she left the army, he still didn't find a disciple that he was satisfied with. She heard that his medical skills were taken into his coffin and were lost forever. Thinking about it, it was a pity. However, Grandpa Quan had a strange temper and didn't trust people easily. Therefore, Su Xiao didn't think that he would teach her. It was because she knew that he didn't know how to teach people. Although she longed for his medical skills, she was much calmer and couldn't force it.
"You are self-aware and calm. You are not like the other young people in the village who bite off more than they can chew and are blinded by greed. Looking at them, I feel that young people nowadays …" Yang Dequan didn't finish his sentence, but it was obvious that he was disappointed.
However, Su Xiao's calmness made the old man have a whole new level of respect for her.
He thought to himself: This girl is really not bad. Let's not talk about her understanding of medicine. Just this state of mind is difficult for most young people to achieve.
After that, he didn't say anything. Su Xiao also didn't ask anything. She quietly accepted whatever he applied on her face. Once again, his admiration for her increased.
The medicine had to be applied to her face for three hours. During this time, she couldn't eat or drink, and she couldn't use anything that was irritating.
After the medicine was applied to her face, it would slowly remove the toxins and toxins from her skin. This process was a little painful. If she couldn't bear it, she would have to end it early. As for the medicine's efficacy, it would naturally be reduced.
Yang Dequan directly explained this to her. As for how to do it, it was up to her. If she couldn't bear the pain and chose to give up halfway, it would take more than twenty-eight days for her skin to return to normal.
As expected, the medicine reacted not long after.
At first, it was slightly numb. Later on, it became slightly itchy. Later on, it became numb, itchy, and painful. This kind of feeling was incomparable even to the cruelest training that Su Xiao had gone through in her previous life.
Su Xiao clenched her teeth and persevered. No matter how uncomfortable it was, she didn't make a sound. This made Yang Dequan even more satisfied.
This child was indeed suitable to practice medicine. Unfortunately, she was a girl. He thought to himself.
When it was over, Su Xiao was in so much pain that she was sweating all over. The effect was obvious. Her skin was much fairer and more tender.
"Once every three days. Don't forget."
Su Xiao dragged her tired and painful body and bowed to him. Yang Dequan suddenly asked, "When are you going to report to the military?"
"After the background check and physical examination, you'll have to report to the military in about a month."
In her previous life, Su Xiao took less than half a month to go from the background check to the military. At that time, the situation was special. It was Su Xiao's father who begged the Political Commissar Tong to bring forward the time so that they could avoid Skinny Monkey in time.
However, it was different now. There wasn't such an urgent matter. Naturally, they could take it slow.
"From tomorrow onwards, come here to look for me. Help me bring out all the medical books in the house to dry."
Su Xiao was stunned at first. Then, she was wild with joy. She never thought that Grandpa Quan would see her in a different light in the end. What he said just now seemed very ordinary. In fact, he was indirectly telling her that Grandpa Quan wanted to pass on his medical skills to her.
Just as she was about to call him master, he waved his hand. "It's fine as long as you know. You don't have to call me master. I haven't thought of a disciple yet."
Su Xiao knew that Grandpa Quan had a strange temper. Although he didn't accept her, she was still happy for a while. She bowed deeply to him before happily returning home. Because she was so happy, she didn't see Yang Dequan nodding his head repeatedly as he watched her leave. There was a look of admiration in his eyes.
When she returned home and told her parents about this, they were also very happy. However, they still advised her to set her mind straight. She mustn't be arrogant. Only then could she be more successful and outstanding.
Su Xiao kept this in mind.
Su Xiao went to Grandpa Quan's place every day. In the eyes of outsiders, she was there to treat her illness. Only those who knew the inside story knew that she was there to study medicine.
When Zhao Xueer from the Zhao family next door saw all of this, he gritted his teeth. However, he was also helpless and jealous.
Zhao Xueer came to look for Su Xiao a few more times. However, Su Xiao's mother stopped him at the door and didn't let him see her.
Soon, it was time for Su Xiao's physical examination and political background check. The political background check was very simple. The Su Family's composition and social relations had always been very simple. Her father and her second brother, Su Wujie, had both served in the army. However, the former had retired from the army, while the latter was still in the army.
She passed the political background check very quickly. As for the physical examination, there were even fewer problems. Soon, the notice of her enlistment was sent out.
