My Age of Investment

On weekends, Xia Yuan's unit was on vacation, and he drove his family back to his hometown in the countryside.

Xia Jingxing's grandparents all live in the countryside, living with their eldest son who is an elementary school teacher.

The elderly were not used to living in the city. Xia Yuan tried to persuade him a few times but couldn't help him, so he just let it go. He just went home to see his parents a few times a year, gave him some money, and bought some nutritional products, electrical appliances and the like.

My hometown is in the suburban county of Rongcheng, more than an hour's drive from the city.

At this time, there is no cement road connecting every village. After getting off the expressway, the village roads are all dirt roads, with potholes and bumps, which is definitely not a good driving experience.

Fortunately, the weather was good, and it didn't rain, otherwise the road would be muddy and unlucky, the wheels of the car would sink in, and someone would have to find someone to lift the car.

Why does he know?

Because they met once when they went back to the countryside a few years ago. The scene was so simple. It was pouring rain, and when one stepped on it, the calf disappeared, and they all fell into the mud.

Fortunately, a group of enthusiastic villagers finally came to help carry the car.

At that time, his father's cigarettes were all gone, and he was told to go to the village store to buy a few packs, and then they were scattered.

He went to buy cigarettes one step at a time, and when he was walking, the sandals disappeared, and then he turned around to pick up the shoes in the mud...

According to this story, he also wrote an essay called "Lifting a Car", which won the second prize of the regional essay contest.

Why didn't you get the first prize?

He was young at the time, but he knew it later when he grew up, because his father's official position was not high enough.

…………

…………

When approaching the entrance of the village, Zhang Yuqiong reminded her husband: "If some of your aunts and wives come to you and ask for help later, you must not agree casually.

You are a big official of sesame and mung bean, how can you help?

I am looking for you when I am a soldier, I am looking for you when I change jobs, introducing jobs, transferring jobs... I am looking for you for everything, can you help me? "

Xia Yuan smiled and said, "They're all relatives, so it's not too much trouble within the scope of my ability, I can help if I can."

"I helped you for the first time, and there are countless times. I see how much favor you can owe."

"What kind of favor do you owe? It's just a matter of one sentence."

"If you help, you won't get anything good. Listening to my sister-in-law, there are still people who say that the job you introduced is not good, and the help is not enough..."

"You can live it in your own heart, you don't need others to comment..."

…………

Xia Jingxing sat in the back row, smiling as his parents quarreled.

His mother didn't have any bad intentions, she just helped, and she was thought that she didn't help well enough, which was indeed a bit chilling.

His father grew up here, and he comes back several times a year. Relatives and neighbors find help, and his face is very difficult to wipe away.

Right or wrong is not a good evaluation, just do what you want.

Santana drove to a small farmyard, stopped, and the family of three got out of the car.

A high-spirited, tall old man came out of the yard and said with a smile, "I said which one, the second baby is back..."

"Dad~"

"Dad~"

"Grandpa~"

The family of three smiled and greeted the old man.

Xia Shihe was very happy to see his grandson whom he hadn't seen in a year. He turned his head and shouted into the yard, "Old woman, your grandson is back..."

"Xingxing is back!"

A fiery old woman walked out of the yard, walking briskly, shouting while walking, and her body was very tough.

"Grandma~"

Xia Jingxing's eyes were moist. More than ten years later, his grandfather was still in very good health, but his grandmother had left them for nearly ten years.

Sun Xiuying saw her grandson who was tall and talented, and took her grandson's hand with joy and kept rubbing it.

Three generations of grandparents are pulling home,

Many neighbors around heard the movement and gathered around to watch the fun.

A group of children kept looking around the car and touched it with their hands. The adults were afraid of scratches, so they reprimanded in a low voice.

At present, cars are much rarer than ten years later, especially in rural areas, and they are still a rare thing.

Zhang Yuqiong took out the purchased candy and distributed it to these children, which attracted laughter and laughter from the children.

Under the recommendation of his parents, Xia Jingxing said hello to the uncles, aunts, grandparents in the crowd.

The neighbors around him kept complimenting Xia Jingxing and used all the words that they didn't know much.

Grandpa and grandma Xia Jingxing took out the stools and greeted the people watching the fun to enter the yard and sit down.

Zhang Yuqiong and several middle-aged women of the same age sat around and chatted.

Xia Yuan handed a circle of cigarettes to the men present, smoking and chatting.

Xia Jingxing was bored, so he took out his mobile phone and played the snake game. After a while, a bunch of children were standing behind him.

After learning that the brothers' family came back, Uncle Xia Jingxing and Aunt Xia, who were attending the market in the town, hurried back on motorcycles.

After getting off the bus, the two of them bought a lot of ingredients with large and small bags.

The eldest aunt was a very industrious and shrewd rural woman who warmly greeted Xia Jingxing's family and everyone in the yard, and not a single one was left behind.

The eldest uncle had a relatively dull personality. Although he was a math teacher in an elementary school, he was not good at words. After greeting Xia Jingxing's family, he went into the house with his aunt to cook.

The chickens and ducks were slaughtered again, and soon the smell of cooking wafted out of the courtyard.

The people who came to join in the fun in the yard smiled and refused to "stay for the meal" and went back to their respective homes.

Only a few children looked at Xia Jingxing's cell phone, and were reluctant to leave until they were reprimanded by the adults.

Sitting at the dinner table, the whole family chatted while eating.

The eldest aunt Yang Defang gave Xia Jingxing a piece of chicken thigh stir-fried with green peppers, and asked with a smile, "Okay, would you like to go to the United States?"

"Haha, it's definitely fun to have fun. There are big cities and beaches near the school..."

Xia Shihe snorted coldly, "Wa'er, if you don't want to play it for a day, let me ask you, how did you learn about nuclear weapons?"

Xia Jingxing looked confused, nuclear weapons? ? ?

Zhang Yuqiong kicked his son under the table and said with a smile, "Dad, don't worry about this. Qian Xuesen has been studying for 20 years, and your grandson has only gone to study abroad for a year. He will learn slowly and become a pillar of the country sooner or later."

Hearing what his mother said, Xia Jingxing remembered that his grandfather hated the American emperor so much that he was not allowed to study in the United States.

In the end, his mother made up a reason: to go to the United States to learn how to make nuclear weapons, and then return to the motherland to make a great contribution to the country.

How could Xia Shihe be so fooled? Atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs have been built for decades, and they still need to go to the United States to learn technology?

Xia Jingxing's father appeared in time and gave a new reason: to build a neutron bomb!

China only announced that it had the neutron bomb in 1999, and it was not as famous as the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb. It really fooled Xia Shihe and agreed to his grandson to study in the United States.

"Can that neutron bomb really blow the earth into a hole more than 10,000 meters deep?"

Hearing Grandpa's question, Xia Jingxing's cheek muscles were trembling, he forcibly held back his laughter.

"Yes, the United States is now developing a new type of neutron bomb that can blast the earth to a depth of 100,000 meters.

This technology is very strictly blocked, and our country has not yet mastered it. "

Following his grandfather's topic, Xia Jingxing started talking nonsense in a serious manner.

"One hundred thousand meters?"

Xia Shihe frowned tightly, converted the units, and asked, "Isn't that 100 kilometers deep? Is the earth going to blow up?

Dogs say the Americans are too bad, this kind of technology can be done. "

Xia Jingxing glanced at the people around him, the aunt and his grandmother really didn't understand, while the parents and uncle pretended to be serious and serious.

Seeing his grandfather whose face was filled with concern for the country and the people, Xia Jingxing sighed in his heart, and he had to continue to make up!

"The earth can't be blasted, and the radius of the earth is more than 6,300 kilometers..."

Hearing what the grandson said, the old man was relieved. As long as the earth is not blown through, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Then... how wide is the explosion range of this neutron bomb?"

"A province!"

Xia Shihe's face became serious again, and he sighed: "That's incredible. There are only more than 30 provinces in our country."

"Grandpa, you don't have to worry too much. There are only ten neutron bombs in the United States. The cost is very high, and they are all lost on our heads. What should Russia do?"

Xia Shihe nodded, "Yes, and the Soviet Union."

"The Soviet Union has disintegrated."

"Oh, it's Russia now."

Xia Shihe suddenly remembered something, and worried about the safety of his grandson: "In the future, after you learn the technology, will the Americans not let you back?"

Xia Jingxing shook his head and laughed, "It's hard to say, maybe one day the FBI will be arrested on the charge of endangering the national security of the United States."

"Even if you're arrested, you can't give in."

"That's for sure. I am the son of the motherland, the son of the people. How can I surrender to the American imperialists?"

Xia Shihe smiled with satisfaction, "Yes, you have a very high ideological awareness!"

After speaking, the old man sighed again: "Hey, there is no way to do this, American technology is too advanced.

If we had the current technology at the time of the Korean battlefield, we would not have to sacrifice so many comrades in arms..."

As he talked, Xia Shihe remembered the time of the beacon fire, and there were faint tears in his eyes.

"Dad, let's not talk about this, it's peace-loving now."

When Xia Yuan saw that his father was thinking of something sad, he quickly persuaded him.

"Oh, don't say it, don't say it."

Xia Shihe waved his hand, picked up the cup, and started drinking.

"Dad, I read the news that Hu Xiudao has passed away. You and your mother are both old. You must pay attention to your health. I'll take you to the provincial capital for a full-body checkup tomorrow."

Xia Shihe shook his head violently, "No need, waste of money! I'm in good health, which one do you think is dead?"

"Hu Xiudao, aren't you comrades-in-arms? I often heard you tell his battle stories when I was a child."

Xia Shihe was stunned for a moment, then remembered who it was, and sighed, "He's gone, it's a pity, he's a real hero."

"Grandpa, you are also a hero!"

Xia Shihe shook his head, "I don't count, only he and *** can be called real heroes."

Naturally, Xia Jingxing knew about sex, but he had never heard of Hu Xiudao, how could he be ranked in the grandfather's mouth?

To this end, he specifically asked his father.

Xia Yuan smiled and told his son the story of "father told them from childhood to adulthood".

After listening, I was shocked.

A living special merit winner, a first-class combat hero, repelled 41 U.S. attacks in one day in the Battle of Shangganling, and wiped out more than 280 enemies by himself.

Anti-Japanese dramas dare not act like this! But the reality is like this, often more legendary than imagined.

His grandfather and the hero were from the same country and belonged to the same company. According to his grandfather, the two had a good relationship when they were in the army.

Later, his grandfather retired from the army and returned to farming in the countryside, while Hu Xiudao stayed in the army and was promoted to the deputy chief of staff of the group army.

When the meal was almost over, Yang Defang looked at Xia Yuan and hesitated.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter? Did you encounter any trouble?"

Xia Yuan noticed what her sister-in-law seemed to want to say, so she took the initiative to ask.

"Hey, it's okay, it's your brother's substitute teacher, Xia Yuan, can you ask your brother to change his position?"

The uncle Xia Ping immediately glared at the aunt, who pinched his neck, "You're just an airbag, you've been replaced, you don't even know how to talk to your brother.

Substitute for 20 years, more than you who entered the school are more positive. "

The uncle's face was flushed red, and he wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to say.

Xia Shihe, who was wrapping his cigarettes, knocked on the table with his pipe, "What's the noise?"

After shaking the scene, the old man looked at Xia Yuan again: "Second baby, must not make mistakes in this matter?

If you make a mistake, forget it. If it doesn't violate the principle, you can implement it for the boss. "
