In the book, the female supporting role dreams of being an idle fish

Chapter 526 The Road Back

Because of Zhang Zhanding, Gu Lixia began to be curious about everyone who took this path.

"Soldiers can touch guns."

"The army treats me well, I won't starve to death"

"I signed up simply because my family didn't allow me to go to school. I'm the eldest in the family and my grades are very good. But just because the third child wants to go to school, I have to drop out. I don't want to." Hu Guoqing also told his own story.

Hu Guoqing is the eldest son in the family.

Hu Guoqing has felt that his position in the family was awkward since he was a child.

As the eldest son in the family, he should have shouldered more responsibilities and expectations.

However, the parents' attention is always focused on the youngest son, the third one.

Like him, his sister was neglected by their parents.

Whenever there is an important matter to discuss in the family, the parents always ask the third child for his opinion first, while his and his sister's ideas are rarely taken seriously.

Hu Guoqing studied hard and worked hard, hoping to get his parents' approval, but everything seemed in vain.

As time went by, Hu Guoqing gradually got used to the feeling of being ignored.

He became withdrawn and unwilling to communicate with his family.

This family seems complete, but it is full of cracks.

I'm just used to my parents' indifference towards me.

After hearing this, Gu Lixia felt a surge of sympathy. "So you're willing to join the army?"

Hu Guoqing smiled wryly and shook his head. "How could that be? At first, I was filled with resentment and felt my fate was unfair. But once I joined the army, I realized the genuine friendship between comrades. We came from all corners of the country, yet we were as close as brothers."

At this point, Hu Guoqing's eyes grew firm. "And here, it's not like back home, where I wasn't deprived of opportunities simply because of seniority. I trained hard and learned a lot of knowledge and skills. After retiring and returning home, I'm still able to come here. This is my ability."

Hu Guoqing continued, "At first, I planned to save a portion of my monthly allowance and send it back home to tell my family that I was doing well. Then I would slowly persuade them that the third brother wasn't a good person, but..."

After listening to this, Gu Lixia had more respect for Hu Guoqing.

Whether it's just playing the victim or not.

For people like Hu Guoqing, being filial to their parents is just a dream of the past.

"The little people also have the wisdom of the little people. Most of us come from the village. If we were to encounter such a situation in the future, it would be difficult for us not to maintain this attitude."

"So, my suggestion is to have one last talk. If we can't reach an agreement, we'll give up." After Hu Guoqing said this, everyone started nodding.

The meeting adjourned.

Gu Lixia went to the primary school next door,

Gu Lixia stood quietly outside the second grade window, watching the children inside reading with focused eyes.

In the classroom, the children sat neatly in their seats, holding books in their hands and reading the text in clear voices.

Their eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Gu Lixia's thoughts gradually drifted away, and she remembered the scene of her reading as a child.

She was in a very miserable state at that time.

While immersed in memories, a little girl noticed Gu Lixia outside the window.

The little girl stopped reading and looked at Gu Lixia curiously. Gu Lixia smiled and waved to her. These children are the hope of the future.

After class, the campus suddenly became lively.

The children flew out of the classroom like a group of happy little birds.

Chasing and playing.

The little girls were jumping rope, their hair flying up and down with the rhythm, and their faces were filled with happy smiles.

In the classroom, some students were still working diligently on their homework, while others were frowning, pondering difficult problems.

Some students were writing furiously, jotting down their answers, while others were discussing questions with each other, working together to solve the problems.
