Before the assessment, they all received a letter from the family and Niu Xiucai, and the family determined that the "three dogs" were three dogs, and said some words of encouragement, and everything was safe at home; Although it is not a beacon fire for three months, the letter to the family is also worth 10,000 dollars.

After that, Sangou has maintained correspondence with his family, and has never stopped, but after the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China (1937), Rong Ma wrote less.

Niu Xiucai's letter said that in March this year, the 1st Supplementary Brigade was transferred from Kaifeng to Shaanxi to suppress the bandits, and not even a single figure of the bandits was caught, but they had been exhausted and miserable on the plateaus in southern Shaanxi and northern Sichuan, and the only relief was that the brothers had no casualties except for fatigue.

……

It seems that everything is normal, Sangou also passed the school year assessment normally, and the sub-subject exams were carried out in a row, and Sangou reported to the infantry department, in fact, there are instructors or captains, hinting at Sangou, your grades are not bad, you can report the artillery department or the cavalry department, and then you don't report to the engineer department, which is better than the infantry department.

Why? Because after graduating from the infantry department, they basically went to the front line, and although the artillery also went to the front line, after all, it was a technical branch, called a special branch of the army at that time, and it was difficult to face the enemy face to face, and the casualty rate was much lower than that of the infantry department.

The cavalry is a fast force, the casualty rate is not very high, the sappers are very technical, most of them are in the rear, there are basically no casualties, unless the casualties of the troops are particularly large, the sapper units will be used.

However, the traffic soldier is also another way of saying the baggage (transport) soldier, and the three dogs were originally from the disgusted supplementary 11th brigade transport company, so they naturally didn't want to go in again.

In the end, it was the porter brothers who decided to report the three dogs, the brothers, especially Niu Gu, protected him like a big brother, Lao Li was like a father, Xiucai was like a bosom friend, and there were cute big potatoes, horned fleas, bamboo poles and others, as well as powerful Tienon, dog legs and so on.

They are all teammates who are like brothers, and when they first joined the supplementary brigade, they have been trying to find a way to get Sangou out, even if they can't go out, they have to push Sangou to study in military school, for what, in order to make their brothers live well.

Why can't many siblings who are related by blood try to help their loved ones live well like people who are not related by any kinship?

It is said that blood brothers and sisters live together much more time than others, and their feelings should be far better than others, so why don't they want to help their relatives, and even don't want to see their brothers and sisters live better than themselves?

Perhaps this is the inferior nature of the Chinese people who go deep into the bone marrow, someone once said a very classic sentence: a beggar is not jealous of the rich, but very jealous of another beggar who has begged for more food than himself, or a little less money.

However, most of us, while laughing at beggars, are not beggars with money and status? Although we are not poor enough to become beggars, it is precisely because we are not jealous of the high-ranking officials and rich people, but we are always jealous of our brothers and sisters who are better off than ourselves.

Chinese people have a good face, especially when they see that their younger brothers and sisters may surpass themselves in terms of ability, income, official position, fame and fortune, how faceless they feel.

What's more, not only do they find excuses and reasons everywhere, and instead of helping their brothers and sisters to reach a higher level, they have to step on them in secret, and even drag them back in the open, in order not to let them surpass them.

It is because of such and such anti-kinship behaviors that many families have accumulated grievances, and they have never been in touch with each other, and even fought and fell apart.

Why can't we do our best and work together to assist a brother or sister who is capable, so that he/she can go ashore as soon as possible, become the glory of the family, and then feed back to other family members.

Even if the "no conscience" who goes ashore does not look back to pull a hand of relatives who have assisted him, it doesn't matter, does he have to repay for helping others? is so calculating, the pattern and vision of life are too small and too low.

Even if there is no return, at least in terms of family honor, it is very face-saving, or, at least, it will not always look for you, and ask for some help that makes you embarrassed, such as borrowing money, such as requirements beyond your ability, etc.

In addition to working together to push someone who has the opportunity to go up, we must also work together to help relatives and friends in difficulty, helping others is equivalent to helping ourselves, people's lives are so long, no one can guarantee that they can develop for a long time, nor can they guarantee who has been in trouble.

"If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world at the same time", you will be able to help your relatives and friends as much as possible, in addition to the responsibility and obligation and return to the society, this is not to give yourself the second half of your life in the layout.

People say that only by casting a wide net can you catch more fish, and if you help more people, there will always be some or a few people who can develop, and people will naturally be grateful for your help to him back then.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, in case you or your descendants decline, or even fall into trouble, there must be many people in your previous layout of helping the world, most of the people who have been helped by you and those who love your good name will come to help you, isn't this equivalent to helping yourself.

The daughter is scattered and returns, and the wide variety of favors will eventually be rewarded; Sticking to the money, power, and resources in their hands, not helping relatives and friends, or even stopping and stepping on relatives and friends, such people not only do not accumulate goodness, but damage their virtues, and they will endanger themselves and their families in the future.

All in all, infighting, infighting, and internal friction have been the stubborn vices of the Chinese people for thousands of years; However, it is easy to talk about others, but it is not easy to ask yourself to do it.

……

Therefore, even if Sangou is very similar to studying artillery, because there, he can give full play to his advantages of being smart and studious, and normally speaking, it will definitely be easy to achieve greater achievements.

Or, to put it more selfishly, being an artillery soldier has a much better chance of surviving than being an infantryman, or this can't be called selfishness, it's human nature, ants still steal life, not to mention people's lives.

However, it was the brothers of the porter team who pushed themselves out, and there were still cows, without cows, there would have been no three dogs for a long time, and the lives of the three dogs themselves were saved by the bulls.

Therefore, emotionally, it is difficult for Sangou to part with the brothers of the porter, if they become artillerymen, they will definitely be separated from them, and they will basically not be able to take care of each other in the future.

Logically, Sangou wants to learn toddler, work hard to learn more, learn more skills, and go back to repay his brothers; After nearly a year of study, the deeper he went, the more Sangou felt the danger and ferocity of the army and the war.

The more dangerous he felt, the more worried he was for himself and his brothers, that he might return after completing his studies, more or less an officer, and that he had a slight advantage after learning such life-saving skills.

However, what about the brothers, they are the lowest cannon fodder, they are so weak, who will protect them? Whoever will take them to escape from the dangerous war and battlefield, he is the only one who has three dogs.

Every time he thinks of this, Sangou can't help but feel very uncomfortable, feeling how small his current ability is, in the face of an incomparably powerful war, what can he rely on to protect his brothers? What do you rely on to bring them home alive?

Only by working hard and working hard to learn, the more you learn now, maybe you will have a little more chance to save the lives of your brothers in the future, even if it is to save one more life, it is much better than being powerless.
