1977: It all started with a wrong love

Chapter 42: Copying a Military Song

The eldest brother Lu Yilong burst into tears.

Men don't shed tears easily, only because they haven't yet reached the point of being moved by love.

I had already drunk quite a bit of wine, and just now my third brother started to scold me, saying that he was jealous of me and that my father always valued me the most...

These are absolutely certain facts that cannot be refuted in the slightest.

To be honest, when the emotions reached a point where Lu Yilong, who had been a soldier for more than ten years, almost cried out, turned around and reported to the army leaders, applying for retirement and transfer to a local civilian job...

But at this critical moment...

The third brother had something else to say, mentioning that he should toast to his wife.

Even singing, the military medal ~ half is yours~~ and half is mine~~~
You little rascal, where did you learn these annoying and sensational methods from?

"Xiuqin, what Third Brother said is absolutely right. My military medals are more than half due to you, Xiuqin. It is not an exaggeration to say that all the credit belongs to you..."

"Xiuqin, come, I'll toast you a glass of wine..."

The sister-in-law would never have such a hot temper with her husband in public.

To be honest, it was already very embarrassing for her to be called "Xiuqin" by her husband all the time.

In this era.

Especially in rural areas.

A term of address between husband and wife.

That's quite "feudal" (feudal here is not derogatory).

Often when a couple first gets married, they greet each other with "hello", "hey", "na-sha" and other similar terms.

When you have a baby, you will become "the baby's mother" or "the baby's father".

The above are all fun greetings between husband and wife.

In front of outsiders, the wife is referred to as "the one in the house", "the boss", "the wife", and those who are a little more aggressive and avant-garde may call her "my daughter-in-law", "my wife", or "my wife".

Calling your husband "my man" or "your man"...

In short, a couple would not easily call each other by their first names, especially if they removed their last names and had to call each other in public...

The emotional expression of rural people is so simple and implicit.

Sister-in-law Zheng Xiuqin watched her husband holding a glass of wine in front of her, and he called her name in a very affectionate manner in front of his parents, younger brothers and sisters, and children, and then held the glass of wine towards her.

Be nice.

There was a bang.

My sister-in-law got up in a hurry and the stool fell over.

"He, his dad, you, you've drunk too much~~!" The sister-in-law was panicked and embarrassed. She raised her wine glass and clinked it with her husband's in a hurry, raised her head and drank it in one gulp. Immediately, she subconsciously reached out to support her husband.

At the same time, she looked at her second sister-in-law and younger sister in panic and helplessness, hoping that they would help her out.

However, what she was greeted with were two envious and gossipy gazes.

The eldest brother also drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Then, instead of giving his sister-in-law a chance to support him, he put his hand around her waist.

Oh my god, this guy almost scared my sister-in-law to death.

Fortunately, the eldest brother only put his arms around her waist and did not take any more ridiculous or intimate actions.

"Dad, Mom, my brother and sister-in-law, the second and third brothers, and my youngest sister, the third brother's words tonight completely woke me up. He is right. For so many years, my family has always given me the greatest support in the army. In the past, I always thought that I would climb higher and become more capable. Sooner or later, I would help my family in my own way so that we can all live a good life and have a better future..."

"I think that only when I am truly capable of doing these things will I be qualified and confident to speak passionately in front of my whole family to express my inner gratitude..."

"Now I know how wrong I was. I kept all these things in my heart and was too embarrassed to express them. I always thought that I would tell them when I could really bring rewards to my family..."

"But I just realized that your support and care for me, Xiuqin's support and care for me, all of you, who was running for the purpose of asking me to repay you, I actually regarded the selfless support and care of my closest family members as an emotional investment, I..."

The older brother became more and more excited as he spoke.

It can be seen that he really let out all the words that had been suppressed in his heart for many years.

"Boss, come on, sit down and enjoy your food. Why are you saying all this..." My father advised in a trembling voice.

Then he signaled to his sister-in-law.

I was forced back into my seat by my eldest brother.

"Dad, I just owe this family so much..." The eldest brother was still very emotional, and his voice had completely turned into tears.

So almost at the same time, both parents looked at Lu Yifan with dagger-like eyes.

It was obvious that they were all blaming him for irritating his elder brother to such an extent. Lu Yifan grinned and quickly tried to make amends.

"Brother, didn't our father tell you this a long time ago?"

"Since you have become a soldier and a member of the army, you must accept the fate of 'sacrificing your own family to protect the whole society'. Besides, no one in our family has ever really blamed you!"

"Don't get the wrong idea about what my second brother and I just said about being jealous of you. We are jealous of our father. He has always set high standards for you, but for us, just being able to live a normal life is enough."

"Let's talk about me, my brother. I'm so awesome now."

"My brother, I am now the top science student in Qinxi Province with admission letters from two of the top universities in Beijing, Yan University and Tsinghua University. I am so arrogant, right?"

"But my dad rarely talks to me. Big brother, tell me, isn't my dad too famous for his double standards..."

Faced with the third brother's deliberate jokes.

How could the eldest brother Lu Yilong not understand the hidden meaning of his younger brother's words?

This kid is deliberately pretending to be competing with him for his father's favor!
My third brother has changed, really changed inside and out, and has become a completely different person. He has become a little bit old and worldly-wise, but his behavior is not offensive. On the contrary, he can always find ways to take care of everyone's emotions, making the family more harmonious and harmonious...

Old man Lu Xiangrong was also shocked by his third son's inner talent: after suffering a blow from a divorce, this kid suddenly opened up and became mentally mature.

If the wine is not intoxicating, everyone will get drunk.

This family dinner lasted until almost nine o'clock in the evening.

After eating dumplings, the banquet finally came to an end.

When I woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky.

After washing up, I was getting ready to go out to my parents' old house for dinner.

There’s nothing I can do!

In this era, life in the countryside is so simple and unpretentious.

Especially around the New Year, there is nothing else to do, so all you do is eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and live a leisurely life like a pig in advance.

Even though it's not time for dinner yet.

You have to be more proactive yourself.

We can’t have people come here to shout for every meal.

"Clap clap clap..."

Just then the door knocker rang a few times.

Then I saw that it was my eldest brother, who pushed the door open with a smile and said, "Third brother, you are up! Did you sleep well last night?"

"Brother, why are you here? I was just about to go to the old house. I don't have a stove in my house, and the temperature inside is almost the same as outside. Let's go back to the old house!"

"Don't worry, just be quiet here, I have something to talk to you about."

As he spoke, the eldest brother took out a notebook and a pen from his pocket and handed them to me. "I heard you sing a military song at dinner last night. Please write it down for me in full. It will be of great use to me."

"Ah, brother, you want me to copy a military song?"

"Copying a military song...? What's the matter? I've never heard of the military song you sang last night! Wasn't it something you improvised and composed yourself..."

"Uh……"

Lu Yifan was immediately embarrassed.

Then I thought: Well, it’s still the end of 1977.

The song "The Full Moon on the 15th" that I 'improvised' last night should have been written in the early 1980s... ?
The eldest brother stuffed the notebook and pen into Lu Yifan's hands, then walked straight to the eaves, took a broom and started sweeping the fallen snow in the yard.

It snowed heavily overnight, and the snow on the ground was deep enough to bury a person's ankles.

At this time, there were still sporadic snowflakes floating in the sky.

The world is vast.

I watched my elder brother quickly clear a space on the ground.

Lu Yifan's mind couldn't help but spread wildly.

The soldiers of the new era are the strongest fighting force on the surface of the blue planet. Once faced with moments of crisis, they can serve as the strongest and most solid backing and bring the strongest sense of security to the people. They are a most special group.

The eldest brother wanted to create a military song that he himself had created, so naturally he wanted to go back to the army and do something about it to make a name for himself.

Then, why don't we just give ourselves another layer of the shell of a famous military song composer? !
If I just copy one song, "The Full Moon on the 15th", the strength would obviously not be enough!

Got it!

The Motherland Will Not Forget
