Chapter 315 Zhao Weihong: Nothing, I just miss home. [Please subscribe! Please give me a monthly ticket!]
Hearing this, Zhao Weihong was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Zhou Kehu brought up this trivial matter in such a heavy tone.
Did you fail the college entrance examination?
"Uncle, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it."
"It's all in the past."
If it was Zhao Weihong in the previous life, it would definitely not be so easy to answer this question.
Because he lived in darkness for decades in his later life, spending all day with a sewing machine, all because of failing the college entrance examination.
It would be strange if it were so easy to let go.
But now Zhao Weihong has embarked on a very practical path, which he likes very much.
On this road, every drop of sweat Zhao Weihong sheds and every effort he makes can be transformed into tangible results and honors.
For someone like Zhao Weihong, this is simply the best thing in the world.
What's more, Zhao Weihong had already seen the scenery of another road in that extremely real dream, and no longer had any regrets.
Therefore, although this seemed to be a major event that changed the trajectory of Zhao Weihong's life.
But Zhao Weihong had long forgotten about this matter and didn't care about it at all.
He just wants to live a good life in the present, take every step in the future well, and let his sweat water more flowers and glory on this road called "military life"!
But the more carefree Zhao Weihong was at the moment, the more "unspeakable" Zhou Kehu felt.
Zhou Kehu even wondered if it would be better if he didn't tell Zhao Weihong about this?
Let him start his military career with such a relaxed attitude.
In time, Zhao Weihong, who is both civil and military, will surely be a shining new star in the military of Yan State. It is not impossible for him to surpass Zhou Kehu and Wang Chuan!
But as Zhao Weihong's "great uncle", Zhou Kehu didn't want to hide the truth from Zhao Weihong for the rest of his life, and he didn't want this incident to become a lifelong regret for Zhao Weihong.
Yes.
Zhao Weihong is such an outstanding person, hardworking, down-to-earth and willing to work hard. Although his brain is not to the level of a genius, it is quite active.
As long as he embarks on a promising path, Zhao Weihong's performance will definitely not be bad.
How could such a person fail the exam? How could he fail the exam?
All kinds of complicated emotions intertwined in Zhou Kehu's heart, making it difficult for this decisive veteran to make a decision.
It was not until the special car drove all the way out of the city that Zhou Kehu made up his mind.
"parking."
Taking Zhao Weihong, he came to the endless fields outside the city.
The crops are thriving and the fields are crisscrossed.
This is the suburbs of the Northeast.
As long as you leave the city, you will see farmland everywhere, full of greenery, which contrasts beautifully with the mountains in the distance, exuding vitality.
Zhou Kehu hopes that in this environment which is very similar to Zhaojia Village, Zhao Weihong's mentality can be calmed as much as possible.
"Wei Hong."
The words fell.
Zhao Weihong, who was looking at the vigorous growth of corn, raised her head and looked at Zhou Kehu with a little confusion.
"Big"
"In fact, you didn't fail the exam that year."
Zhao Weihong blinked, and after a moment she seemed to finally realize what Zhou Kehu had said. Her eyes, which usually shone with brilliance and sparkle, suddenly became dull.
"What did you say?"
Take a deep breath.
Zhou Kehu has made many difficult decisions in his life, such as the reform some time ago.
But there has never been a time when Zhou Kehu could feel such emotions close to "heartache" and "unbearableness"!
"I mean you got into Unit University, achieving your dream!"
This statement came out.
Zhao Weihong was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze for a moment.
Of course, Zhao Weihong didn't think that Zhou Kehu was lying to him.
It is precisely because of this that the news shocked Zhao Weihong so much!
It turns out that I didn’t fail the exam?
It turns out that my more than ten years of hard study were not in vain?
It turns out that the decades of wasted time in my previous life, that unbearable nightmare, could have been avoided?
He stretched out his hands in a daze.
Zhao Weihong looked at the calluses on her palms and knuckles from training, and felt mixed emotions.
"What about my acceptance letter? Where did it go?"
"Lost? Or?"
"call"
Wiped the tears from his face.
Zhou Kehu pursed his lips and forced a very forced smile.
"Wei Hong, I hope you won't get excited after hearing the following news."
"Your identity has actually been replaced by someone else."
"The head of your village and Director Wang of the township."
"The partnership stole the life that should have belonged to me?"
Seeing that Zhao Weihong had guessed the truth of the matter, Zhou Kehu suddenly fell silent and was speechless.
"Um"
It was not until a long time later that Zhou Kehu nodded with great difficulty, and then as if to make up for it, he took out the list full of names and handed it to Zhao Weihong.
"Wei Hong, look!"
"These are people who are related to the village chief and Director Wang!"
"During this period of time, I have been helping you deal with this matter. Now this group of people has been controlled."
"This matter is still the tone set by Deputy Chief Wei. We must deal with it strictly, severely and quickly!"
"Wei Hong, don't worry. Whether it's me or Deputy Chief Wei, we will definitely give you and your family an explanation!"
"Confess." Zhao Weihong kept blinking, as if she didn't want to let the tears that were already welling up in her eyes fall down.
"Uncle, you don't understand"
“No one can give me an explanation.”
Zhou Kehu was not clear.
The person standing in front of him was not the young man he thought, who had embarked on an extremely exciting path after failing the college entrance examination.
Between failing the college entrance examination and joining the army.
Zhao Weihong also experienced decades of wasted time and struggle!
The humming sound of the sewing machine, the foreman's curses mixed with contempt and disdain, and all the "nightmares" that had troubled Zhao Weihong, all rang in Zhao Weihong's ears very clearly at this moment!
"Roll, roll, roll"
"Zhao Weihong, can you do it? If not, there are plenty of people who want to do it!"
"Roll, roll, roll"
"This month's rent is already a week in arrears. When are you going to pay it?"
"Roll, roll, roll"
"Wei Hong. Hey, Dad is fine. Keep the money. You are still young and have many places to spend money."
These interwoven sounds are clear and real.
It constantly reminded Zhao Weihong that this was not a dream that had long gone away, but an extremely real life that Zhao Weihong had experienced in struggle and confusion!
And all of this stems from the fact that Zhao Weihong failed to get into the university that he thought was a sure thing!
Zhao Weihong has been unwilling, angry and desperate!
But in the end, Zhao Weihong accepted his fate!
Zhao Weihong even felt that she could not blame others for her difficulties and frustrations over the past few decades, but could only blame herself for not living up to her expectations!
You only get one chance.
If you don't catch it, it will be gone forever.
It seems fair and reasonable.
Gradually, Zhao Weihong accepted the fact that she was not as good as her teacher said.
That's why Zhao Weihong acted so anxious and worked so hard when he first arrived at the army!
Because of Zhao Weihong, I once missed an opportunity to change my life!
He didn't want to miss it a second time!
But now, Zhou Kehu actually told him.
He did not miss this opportunity.
Instead, it was stolen by someone in a despicable way.
And the nightmare that he had finally forgotten should not have happened to such an outstanding person like him!
"Wei Hong! Wei Hong!"
Zhou Kehu was not afraid of Zhao Weihong yelling, nor was he afraid that Zhao Weihong would be like himself or Zhao Yuejin and others, desperate to settle accounts with Director Wang and his group of bastards!
He was afraid of Zhao Weihong's silence at this moment, and even more afraid that Zhao Weihong would be calm with a look of disappointment in her eyes!
"How could there be no explanation?"
"Look at all these people. They are all parasites and scum who need to be judged."
"This is your local one, this is the county one, and this one..."
"There is also a large group of people who will be held accountable for their inadequate supervision and negligence!"
"And people like this can't even be on this list!"
Zhou Kehu tried his best to explain to Zhao Weihong the importance of this list, wanting Zhao Weihong to understand.
Countless people have paid the price for the despicable actions of Director Wang and the village chief.
However, Zhou Kehu could never understand it no matter what.
No matter what price this group of people pay, they can't bring back Zhao Weihong's first half of her life that was like a nightmare.
"Come on, Wei Hong, take a look at this list first."
"Listen to uncle, okay?"
Seeing Zhao Weihong's distraught look, Zhou Kehu felt so distressed!
To Zhou Kehu, Zhao Weihong is not only his so-called "nephew", but also a soldier under his command, an excellent soldier acknowledged by Deputy Commander Wei himself!
Seeing Zhao Weihong so sad about this matter, how could Zhou Kehu not feel distressed?
Following Zhou Kehu's instructions, he took the list full of names in a somewhat dazed manner.
Zhao Weihong didn't even look at it, but just made a request to Zhou Kehu.
"Uncle."
"Can I call home?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Kehu took out his phone without any hesitation and called Zhao Yuejin. He even lit a cigarette for Zhao Weihong to calm her down.
Zhao Weihong did not refuse.
Because he really needed a cigarette at this moment.
"Captain?"
Hearing the familiar voice coming from the phone, Zhao Weihong exhaled a large puff of white mist and called out softly.
"Second uncle."
"Eh!"
After Zhao Yuejin responded, a very chaotic noise continued to come out of the microphone.
Another familiar voice appeared in Zhao Weihong's ears.
"Son."
"Why did you think of calling home?"
Maybe it’s because I’m trying hard to suppress the pain and worry in my heart.
Li Ping didn't want to make Zhao Weihong too sad, so her voice was full of caution.
Hearing his mother's voice, Zhao Weihong smiled, but his voice was choked with tears that finally ran down his face.
"nothing."
"Just a little homesick."
