[Countryside] Uncle’s love only blossoms but does not bear fruit (20)

Uncle is a legendary figure who participated in the "Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea" and also participated in the "Huaihai Battle" commanded by Liu Bocheng and Chen Yi.

The uncle is tall and handsome. The two sword eyebrows are thick and strong, the square face has sharp edges, and there is an aura of sunshine all over his body. In my uncle's time, he was the most fashionable "Prince Charming" in the eyes of women.

I know my uncle's glorious deeds, my joys and sorrows, my expectations, and my nostalgia. I also know my uncle’s regret.

My uncle’s golden years were during the War of Liberation and the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. He poured his passion into every inch of the land.

The eldest uncle is the eldest son in the family, and he does not allow his second and third uncles to join the army. He started his military career by following the Anti-Japanese War army from south to north.

The most difficult thing was the hardships of the march. At that time, my uncle was in his prime of life. Because he had just joined the army, he didn’t know many things. The cooking squad leader asked him to carry a rice bag and a large iron pot for cooking. . The uncle came to the camp with a bang. There were a lot of blood blisters on his feet. The blood and socks were stuck together and he couldn't take them off.

The uncle was spotted by the passing group leader during a fighting game. The group leader likes his vigor that a calf is not afraid of tigers even after birth. From then on, the uncle was left by the regiment leader's side and became the regiment leader's bodyguard. Whenever he had time, the regiment leader taught the uncle how to shoot, massage and fight, and learn to read.

The battle could start at any time. The regiment leader was studying the combat plan at the headquarters. A shell exploded near the headquarters. The regiment leader was injured in the arm by flying shrapnel. Without saying a word, the uncle carried the regiment on his back. He ran towards the rescue.

Once the battle was extremely fierce, and the bullets were as dense as raindrops. The comrades around him fell one after another, and the ground was covered with bloody corpses. The uncle’s eyes were so painful that he His eyes were red from the excitement, he stood up from the trench, picked up the machine gun and sprayed... The uncle also fell, his arms and head were seriously injured, and he was moved to the rear for treatment.

The uncle in the rear was unconscious for two days and two nights before he woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw two people, one was the group leader and the other was the nurse who assisted in the treatment. When the uncle struggled to get up, the team leader pushed him down. The team leader said, "Take good care of your injuries and don't worry about anything else." The team leader ordered the nurse standing aside to take good care of him. The nurse remained silent and blinked her cheerful eyes as an answer.

The uncle felt that this beautiful and naughty little nurse was very cute, and thought about how great it would be if he could have a son with her in this life! For a moment, he cursed himself again in his mind, "You are so damn shameless. You are almost dead, and you are still fantasizing like this. You really want to eat swan meat. You are so crazy. At that time, my uncle did think like that, but later But his wish did not come true.

The uncle was thinking about his comrades on the battlefield and asked the nurse who was taking care of him: "Can you tell me about the battle ahead? How are the comrades doing? The nurse said to him: "The team leader has already said it, you don't need to worry about other things." "After a while, the uncle asked the same question. At first, the nurse could calmly explain to him that you are a wounded person now and you should take good care of your injuries. However, as the uncle asked more times, the nurse lost her patience and started to talk to him. You are such a lunatic.

The uncle was so choked that he wanted to get angry. Then he thought, "A good man doesn't fight with a woman." Besides, the nurse looked like a coward. The tone made him feel comfortable. He had better endure it! The uncle didn't know that he would spend his whole life with it.

After the liberation war, the uncle moved to another place with the army. The group leader lives in Xinyang, which is not far or near from our hometown. The uncle asked the group leader that he wanted to go home to see his parents, siblings, and the group leader approved. The group leader personally drove to the station to see him off. What surprised the uncle was that he used to take care of him. Her nurse was also in the car. The uncle was confused when he heard the nurse calling the group leader, dad.

The uncle remembered that the group leader often visited him when he was injured. At that time, he had a vague feeling about the group leader. His relationship with the little nurse was unusual. He peeped at the group leader shaving her nose, and the group leader called her Xiaoxia. He thought about it then, and just now he was wondering if the nurse was the group leader's... This idea is too dirty. .

When the family members saw that the uncle was back, they gathered around him and cried. Grandma held the uncle’s hand and cried while saying: "We all thought you would never come back. Your father said that bullets don’t have eyes. We None of the people in the village who went out to serve as soldiers have come back. My son is lucky, my son is lucky! Now that he is back, don’t leave. My parents will marry you and start a family.”

My uncle also thought about going home. Marry a wife and have children, and live an ordinary life with his parents, but now he hesitates, there is always the shadow of Xiaoxia in his mind.

Back in the army, the uncle was still the regimental commander’s guard. Sometimes the group leader would take him home for dinner, and they would also play chess and chat. The regimental leader's wife said that Zhang Youshuai, the division commander's son, was coming soon. The uncle began to think in his mind again. The division commander was of a higher rank than the regiment leader. Why did his son come to the regiment leader's house?

Zhang Youshuai came in with a gift. As soon as he said a few words, the uncle understood that Zhang Youshuai was the prospective son-in-law of the regiment leader and Xiaoxia's fiancé. The uncle felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. He asked the regiment leader for instructions to go back to the dormitory early. sleep.

When I returned to the dormitory, my uncle’s head hurt terribly. There was still a shrapnel in his skull that had not been removed. The medical conditions were poor at that time, so I was afraid that the surgery would affect my life. It was windy every season. When it rains, mood swings or emergencies occur, my uncle's head hurts.

The uncle has too many random thoughts. What she thinks about most is Xiaoxia, whom he has a crush on.

Xiaoxia and Zhang Shuai got married, and the uncle was very disappointed. He started drinking and smoking, unable to find a better way to vent his emotions.

The opportunity came for the uncle. Zhang Youshuai was transferred to work in another place. The uncle liked to see Xiao Xia. As long as he could see Xiao Xia, he would be happy all day long.

Xiaoxia is sick, and both the regiment leader and his wife have to work, so Xiaoxia doesn’t want anyone from her teacher’s family to stay with her. The group leader arranged for his uncle to take care of Xiao Xia in the hospital. The uncle was very willing. He did his best for Xiao Xia, telling stories, chatting, doing magic tricks and playing games with Xiao Xia. They get along very well.

After Xiaoxia was discharged from the hospital, they had more opportunities to meet. Because Zhang Youshuai was not at home, Xiaoxia came to her parents' house more often. He and Xiaoxia had meals, played badminton, planted flowers, and watered vegetables. Gradually, Xiaoxia develops a liking for her uncle, and their relationship develops in a warm direction.

After further understanding, the uncle knew that the marriage between Xiaoxia and Zhang Youshuai was similar to a political marriage. Xiaoxia and Zhang Youshuai were not clear about the intricacies of the relationship. Their union was decided by both parents. , so they have no emotional basis, and they can't talk about loving each other. They are all filial and obedient children who don't want to make their parents unhappy.

In that era, there were many couples who were willing to compromise, and Xiaoxia and Zhang Youshuai were just one of them. In the eyes of outsiders, there was nothing wrong with such a marriage, but if someone wanted to subvert this living condition, , will be spurned by people and criticized by the public. In the eyes of your parents, you are a disobedient, unfaithful and unfilial person.

The uncle and Xiao Xia secretly went on a date, leaving their footprints before the flowers and under the moon. They were happy and worried...

Xiao Xia almost became like this. A person who is not recognized by his parents or the public. The relationship between her and her uncle was noticed by Xiao Xia's mother. The regiment leader talked to the uncle. The regiment leader said to the uncle: "Your problem is quite serious. It belongs to sabotaging a military marriage and you will be sentenced according to regulations. If you are sincerely good to Xiao Xia, then demobilize." Go home. Seeing as you have saved my life and endured hardships and hardships with me all these years, I will try my best to get you the benefits you deserve."

My uncle likes Xiaoxia deeply. That kind of love, as long as Xiaoxia can be safe, he is willing to do anything. The uncle endured huge mental injuries and was discharged from the army. He did not go to say goodbye to Xiao Xia because he was afraid of seeing Xiao Xia's sad look.

Where will the uncle go in the future, and what kind of life will he interpret? (To be continued)
