Sincerely, love
Chapter 14
Chapter 14
Mr. Gu and Gu Changming were accompanied by Gu Huaining to visit Mr. Ye.
Before he went out, Liang He pretended to be an ostrich and nested in the quilt. Gu Huaining knew it and didn't force her, and covered her with the quilt and went out directly.In fact, it doesn't matter if Liang He doesn't go, Mr. Ye's place is always full of people these days, and the people who come and go are all from the same circle. When they see Liang He, they will inevitably ask.It wasn't that he was afraid of asking, but he subconsciously didn't want Liang He to get involved with these people too much.
When they arrived, only the Ye family were present. Ye Yuntong hadn't seen the elders of the Gu family for a long time, and they had a long chat with them. Gu Huaining, the exclusive companion, had nothing to do, and his eyes swept over Ye Yizhen.
"Boss Ye is working so early?"
Ye Yizhen listened to his teasing, put down the original materials in his hand, took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose, "A project is coming to an end, so you can't keep an eye on it."
Looking around, he didn't see Liang He's figure. It seems that the old man was completely beaten this time.Ye Yizhen smiled faintly, and looked at Gu Huaining: "Why are you so free these two days? I didn't see you follow me all the time when my uncle came before."
Gu Huaining leisurely fiddled with the flowers in the vase, and when he heard this, his lips curled up: "Something happened, the superior asked me to rest for a few days."
Despite such an understatement, Ye Yizhen, who grew up in the military compound, still sensed something was wrong.The meaning of letting him rest for a few days is obviously to suspend his job first, and it will never be a matter of "something" to get to this point. Thinking of this, he frowned slightly and asked: "What's going on?" Son?"
Suddenly a thorn on the flower stem pierced his finger, and a drop of blood burst out immediately.Gu Huaining frowned slightly, then withdrew his hand and said, "Some time ago, the Ministry of Military Affairs checked three real military license plates on the highway. Unfortunately, the driver who drove the car couldn't show his military officer card or report his army number. side."
"So someone in the regiment resold military licenses?"
"Guess who stood up in the end?"
Ye Yizhen shook his head. Although he has a lot of contacts in the army, he seldom cares about ordinary things.
"You also know this person, Zhang Wen, the son of Chief of Staff Zhang's family in the military region." After finishing speaking, he sneered, "It's hard for Chief of Staff Zhang to take so much effort to send people to the army, but I see that he has been in the army for a few years. Even if you go out every year, you won’t be able to make a climate.”
This kid, Ye Yizhen, has also heard of the famous gangster. His old man has no choice but to send him to the army to practice for a few years, hoping that his temper will be restrained, but he doesn't know that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Those who are trapped by the army are also those little soldiers. Son, how could someone with a background like him take this restraint seriously? Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking: "This is his business, why did it involve you?"
A while ago, the list of commendations for the military exercise had just come down, and the regiment had reported third-class merit to Gao Yongjun, the commander of the second battalion. A few days before the military medal was awarded, a notice came from the military region saying that he would be suspended from his duties and asked him to cooperate with the investigation.It is said that those who were caught confessed that these military badges were resold by a major in this army, and even named Gao Yongjun by name.
Zhao Ganhe slapped the table when he heard this, not to mention Gao Yongjun, a battalion commander with no background, but he had to weigh himself if he wanted to get three real military cards at once. This is the law of framing.But even if there is no evidence to refute it, it is useless.The man who drove the fake military vehicle over there was fined and released because he pleaded guilty quite well, while Gao Yongjun's matter here is still on hold waiting for the outcome.
Ye Yizhen thought for a while: "Did Zhang Wen move his hands and feet?"
"I'm not sure, but he's suspected of having no silver 300 taels in this preemptive strike." Gu Huaining said, "I know Gao Yongjun. A top student at the University of National Defense Science and Technology doesn't want to ruin his career for such a small amount of money, and this person is me. I was promoted from below, how can I say that I have to be guaranteed.”
Ye Yizhen pondered for a moment: "This is not a simple matter. It's fine if the army can't find out this kind of thing, but once it is found out, it won't be able to withstand it with a few sentences."
"Well, I understand." Gu Huaining smiled lightly, and raised his chin towards the ward inside, "Isn't it that two great gods have been moved here, it's not bad to take advantage of these few days to rest."
"Then, does Liang He know about this?"
Gu Huaining was startled: "Let her know what to do?"
"I'm afraid you haven't told her about your suspension of duties." Ye Yizhen smiled and said, "It's better not to hide some things, otherwise it may make her feel that she is not taken seriously."
Gu Huaining raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, but he really didn't think so much.
Seeing that Ye Yizhen was still looking at him, he patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, I understand."
Old comrades-in-arms always had a lot to talk about when they met, but Mr. Ye's physical condition did not allow it, so Mr. Gu left early.
Before leaving, Gu Huaining went in to say hello to Elder Ye. Elder Ye smiled, his eyes drifted away as if he was looking for something, Gu Huaining understood, and he didn't see that Elder Ye was disappointed, one was his elders, and the other was his wife.It's not easy to weigh, so he might as well just be eccentric, and he's not willing to force her to do something she doesn't want to do.However, the old man's face was a little weird, and he couldn't help but speak after getting into the car.
"Huaining, do you understand Hehe's life experience or not?"
"Not as much as you and the old lady."
The old man's face darkened when he heard this, and Second Uncle Gu Changming who was sitting beside him couldn't help but smile.The third kid from the Gu family took the opportunity to anger the second elder in the family.
In the end, the old man thought about it, and sighed leisurely: "Anyway, since Lao Ye has confirmed it, we have to admit it."
"Liang He hasn't recognized him yet."
The old man raised his brows: "Oh, this child is different. Many aspects are beyond my expectation."
The tone was meaningful, and Gu Huaining frowned slightly: "You don't spend much time with her, why are you unexpected in many ways?"
Gu Changming, who was sitting on the side, was having a headache. These two people were not talking about everyday life, they were just trying to set each other up in the middle of their conversation.The old man was depressed, seeing that the car in front of him was about to turn a corner, he hurriedly asked, "Are you going to the family courtyard?"
Gu Huaining didn't look sideways, and turned a blind eye to the emotional old man: "There is no place to live in the family courtyard, so you can go to the army guest house to make ends meet for a few days."
The old man is angry.
Liang He really talked to the old man on the third day after he arrived in City B.The old man was very busy with work, and it was not easy for Liang He to meet him in City C before. Now that the old man took the time to meet her, Liang He unconsciously felt a little nervous.
Gu Huaining looked at her tense appearance of tossing clothes up, down, left, and right in front of the mirror: "I'll go with you."
Liang He looked over and said, "No, it's best if you don't even send it, I want to go by myself."
"How do you go by yourself? The old man is in the army guest house. Can you just go in?"
"Then you don't need to send it." Liang He lowered his eyelids, "I think the old man must have something to tell me, and it seems timid to ask you to accompany him."
He couldn't help laughing, but he stopped insisting, and asked the driver Xiao Zhang to drive her over with a cheetah.
When Liang He arrived, the army was organizing afternoon training, and there were not many people coming and going. Liang He walked all the way, but she didn't feel embarrassed to be looked at by others. Suddenly, a pair of black leather shoes broke into her sight. She hurriedly stopped and looked up. People from all over the world.
Seeing that it was Zhao Qianhe, Liang He relaxed.
"Come to see Uncle Gu?"
Liang He nodded: "What are you doing at the guest house?"
"I'm also here to see Uncle Gu." Zhao Qianhe said with a smile, and looked down at his watch, "It's almost time, so I won't accompany you in, let's go first."
Liang He looked at his back and wondered for a while, he seemed to be very busy, why the one at home was so busy.
Mr. Gu's room is arranged at the end, and the door is ajar.Liang He took a deep breath, knocked on the door a few times but no one responded, thought for a moment, opened the door and walked in gently.
Mr. Gu was on the phone, and when he saw her, he just nodded slightly.After Liang He sat down, she looked around, but she didn't see any third person besides her and the old man, and the serious expression of the old man when he answered the phone made her feel a little nervous.
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be chattering endlessly, and the old man became impatient, tapping his fingers on the marble tabletop, frowning slightly: "Come on, you have the ability to persuade your son to go, don't keep trying on me. "
These words made Liang He's heart skip a beat, is the person on the other end of the phone Li Wan?
I don't know what the person on the other side said, but the old man showed a smile: "How can I persuade, the children's tempers are different from each other. If you want me to say these things, let them do it themselves." After a pause, He said, "Okay, let's hang up."
The old man hung up the phone neatly, Liang He looked at the old man before Liang He could look away, her thoughtful eyes fell on the old man's eyes exactly, and the old man smiled; "Don't Worry, it's Ganhe's father."
It turned out to be the case.
Liang He wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but the old man was still looking at her, so she had to say it, otherwise she would admit that she was "worried".
Mr. Gu didn't seem to notice her nervousness at all, he sat down slowly, took a sip of the brewed tea, and then slowly said: "I've been in city B for a few days, and I haven't seen you and Huaining calling home The phone call made your mother worry for a long time. How is it, are you still used to it?"
"It's pretty good. I was just a little uncomfortable at first, but it's getting better recently."
The old man nodded: "I heard about the matter between you and Lao Ye's family that day, and I know Lao Ye's attitude. But Huaining said that you haven't admitted it yet. Is it true?"
Facing the old man's inquiring eyes, Liang He thought for a moment: "The Ye family treated me well. If he was just Mr. Ye, then I can still respect him as an elder. But if I want to change to the identity of my grandfather, I'm afraid it's hard to tell. No. After all, he failed grandma."
This is somewhat of an avoidance mentality.
But the old man didn't criticize her; "Forget it, everyone has their own advantages, you can make up your own mind." He said with a meaningful look at Liang He, "Actually, from the perspective of a bystander, your idea is really stupid. This kind of opportunity is given to others, but it is a happy event for a sparrow to fly on a branch and become a phoenix, with relatives, background and backing."
Liang He smiled wryly: "The time when I needed a backer the most is over, and now I'm doing pretty well. As for my relatives, I think it may take me a while to get used to it."
The old man understood, and didn't say any more about this question, he just asked: "It's almost the new year, don't you plan to go back for the new year this year?"
This question is not easy to answer, Liang He had an idea and said, "I listen to Huaining."
This Tai Chi beat made the old man frowned again; "If you have time, I will go back to City C. Your mother has always wanted Huaining to return to City C. I will not force you, but sometimes you can persuade him to go back Just go back directly."
"it is good."
Liang He smiled lightly, and did not dare to let out a big breath until he was out the door. Finally, he kicked the ball to Gu Huaining!
It was almost dark, Liang He wrapped his clothes and put on his hat and walked towards the cheetah car.As soon as his hand reached the door switch, the door opened from the inside with a click. Liang He smiled and thanked him as he got into the car. When he looked up, he saw Gu Huaining's handsome face full of smiles.
"Didn't I say you weren't allowed to pick it up? Why are you here again?" Liang He was a little surprised.
He watched her put on her seat belt: "It's almost dinner time, I'll let Xiao Zhang go first."
"No wonder there are so many people." She whispered, the hat on her head was lifted off her head as soon as she said the words, and she was just about to stare at it, when she suddenly saw someone poking her head out of the car window, "Stop making trouble, there are people."
The car window fell, Gao Yongjun poked his head in from the outside
"What's the matter?" Gu Huaining withdrew his hand and asked.
Gao Yongjun saw Gu Huaining's face beaming with joy, and when his eyes touched Liang He, he hesitated a little: "It's okay, come over and say hello."
Gu Huaining smiled: "Okay, dinner is ready, hurry up and eat, I'll go first."
Gao Yongjun nodded hesitantly.
As the car drove away, Liang He couldn't help asking curiously, "Who is this?"
"I have a battalion commander under me." Gu Huaining said while inspecting the road conditions, and stopped for a while when he reached the gate to cooperate with the soldiers to check the license plate.
"I see that everyone is very busy, why are you the most free?"
"It's not good for me to be free. I can spend more time with you. This is called taking care of family members' emotions."
Comrade Liang He: "..."
Gu Huaining glanced at her with a smile: "Have you talked well with the old man?"
"It's okay. But the old man said that he wants us to go back during the Chinese New Year."
"Do you want to go back?"
Liang He was a little conflicted: "I want to go back, but I don't want to go back."
Gu Huaining smiled after hearing this, and after a long time, said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter whether you come back or not, I'll listen to you."
Liang He couldn't help but look at him more, and his heart became warm.It was already seven o'clock in the evening when I got home, and because of the snow, the ground was a little slippery, so he sent her to the stairs before parking the car.Liang He raised his head and looked upstairs, and saw Mrs. Ren boiling Chinese medicine
"Do you still have to make medicine at such a late hour?" Liang He asked in surprise.
"It's an old problem, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't take medicine. I'm used to it." Mrs. Ren smiled and suppressed the anger a little.
"You are not feeling well?"
Sister-in-law Ren shook her head and pointed to the room: "It's that one. Every time he gets sick, he will hold on. I have to boil the medicine and force him to drink it."
Liang He chuckled, and could easily understand Sao Ren's position in the family.It seems that even if he is a strong man outside, he can also be a childish man who needs his wife to take care of him at home.This is pretty good, especially if you add a woman like Sister Ren who can take care of you, so you can be regarded as a qualified military wife.
As for myself, I'm afraid there is room for improvement.Liang He thought with a smile.
Early the next morning after seeing the old man, Liang He received a call from Li Wan.Aside from the accident, I couldn't help being a little nervous, holding the receiver in one hand and the handle of the toothbrush in the other, standing upright in the living room listening to the person on the other end of the phone.
Li Wan didn't say anything, but just asked how the old man's health was these few days. Liang He knew from the lines that the old man was feeling unwell before he set off, and he had medicine with him, but she didn't notice it at all.Thinking of this, Liang He felt a little ashamed, but fortunately Li Wan didn't pursue it, and just asked her to remind the old man more.
At the end of the phone call, Li Wan asked, "The Chinese New Year is only a few days away, are you planning to come back?"
"Hmm..." Liang He asked Gu Huaining for help while procrastinating.
Gu Huaining simply answered the phone.He was already very good at dealing with the old lady, he changed the topic in a few words, and in the end he didn't make a clear promise whether he would go home or not, so the old lady hung up the phone in anger.
Liang He heard clearly from the side, and was a little distressed; "Is this okay?"
Gu Huaining teased her: "I've thrown all the hot potatoes at me, so you're still worried, okay?"
"Hey. Don't tell me, it's really difficult for me to deal with the old lady."
Gu Huaining raised his eyebrows a little, and began to shave in front of the mirror: "It's more appropriate for me to answer this kind of question." Firstly, he can't just answer his work questions at will, and secondly, he doesn't want his mother to keep bringing up this question. embarrass her.
Liang He felt that what this person said made sense, but at this moment she suddenly remembered something: "By the way, why would you rather stay on the mountain than transfer back to City C?"
Gu Huaining paused for a moment when he wiped his face. After removing the towel, his expression returned to normal. He even smiled a little when he looked at Liang He. He squeezed the toothpaste for her, and when he stuffed it back into her hand, he squeezed it again. She pinched her face: "Brush your teeth first, and when I have time, I will take you to a place, and you will understand."
It's a set of mysteries again!Liang He pouted, brushing his teeth in the mirror depressedly.
After a while, Gu Huaining put on his military uniform and came out of the bedroom. Liang He saw it and asked vaguely, "Are you going out?"
"Well, I'm going to see the old man, and then go to the division with my second uncle."
"Oh, then you remember to remind the old man to take medicine, Mom said he is not in good health recently."
"understood."
Gu Huaining drove the cheetah back to No. [-], this was the second time he had returned to the regiment in the past few days.It stands to reason that an officer must reflect after being suspended from duty, and Comrade Gu Huaining has the right to take a big vacation and take a good rest.Before entering the door of the office, he saw Gao Yongjun waiting outside, Gu Huaining smiled, opened the door and led him in.
"Standing guard early in the morning?"
He made a joke in a good mood, but Gao Yongjun did not relax his facial expression because of this joke, he still stood there straight, until Gu Huaining ordered him to sit down next to the chair: "Captain, yesterday was yours family?"
"Yeah." Gu Huaining admitted without hesitation, and told him by the way, "Don't tell her about this, it will be resolved soon, so don't take it to heart."
Gao Yongjun nodded, in fact, he felt quite ashamed of Gu Huaining.
Originally, he was in a company under the division, and he won the first place in a competition and evaluation held in the army, and won No.1. After returning, besides a paper certificate, Gu Huaining also deliberately trained him With promotion, it can be said that Gu Huaining, the head of the regiment, has contributed a lot to getting to this position today.
The matter of the military license plate was obviously framed. Although he couldn't produce evidence for this, he could have a clear conscience, but he felt extremely sorry for dragging Gu Huaining into the water all of a sudden.
"Leader, if you don't mind this matter, don't worry about it. The higher authorities will punish you. I admit it." , but just not reconciled.
"This matter is not as simple as you think." Gu Huaining looked at him with a serious expression, "Tell me honestly, do you have anything to do with those people who bought the military license plate?"
Gao Yongjun's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly promised: "No, absolutely not."
"That's fine." Gu Huaining patted him on the shoulder, "Then you don't have to worry about this matter, I have a plan in mind what to do."
What he said was not consolation, but it was true in his heart, after all, the old man was still offering sacrifices in the guest house.
Gu Huaining walked towards the guest house in a leisurely manner. When he reached the old man's room, he heard a slight cough coming from inside. When he opened the door, the smell of smoke lingered, and he was so choked that he also coughed.
Gu Huaining knocked on the door of the room to remind the old man: "You haven't taken medicine these few days, have you switched to nicotine instead?"
Mr. Gu glanced at him calmly: "Smoking a few cigarettes to relieve fatigue."
"Where's the second uncle?"
"Say it's coming later, and then you can drive your second uncle back, and go meet some people with him and have a meal with him. Don't be unhappy, I won't show up."
"I know." Gu Huaining laughed a little, the old man still treated him like a child, "I'll go downstairs and wait for Second Uncle, don't smoke so much, pay attention to your health."
The old man smiled slightly: "Let's go."
After Liang He had breakfast, she went to Lin Ran's house. She was helping Zhang Xin with her English these days.Although it is winter vacation, Zhang Xin needs to take an exam when she enters the school as a transfer student. The little girl is not good at English from birth, and her grades are not good. Every time she is lucky, she just passes the passing line, usually at 60 points Lingering below made Lin Ran anxious enough.The little girl is not in a hurry, because according to her, she grows up and never goes abroad, so why is she so good at learning English?But right now because of the entrance exam, I have to make up for it.
When Liang He received the call from Ye Yuntong, Zhang Xin was busy revising the translation question: "What are you busy with recently, and you don't come to play at home?"
"I'm helping a child with English tutoring, and I can't leave."
After finishing speaking, Ye Yuntong's hearty laughter came from the other end, "Then you bring that child along, and I'll return the photo album to you by the way."
When Liang He was still hesitating, Zhang Xin tugged at his sleeves. The little girl's eyes were filled with anticipation. She had been befriending this child for several days. After thinking about it, Liang He agreed.
Zhang Xin finally let the wind go, and when he arrived at Ye's house and saw the beautiful scenery all over the yard, he couldn't help exclaiming. Liang He patted her head amusedly.
After staying in City B for so many years, Ye Yuntong also knew Commissar Zhang, and treated Zhang Xin very kindly.She found cartoons for the little girl to watch, while she sat chatting with Liang He in the side hall.
Ye Yuntong returned the photo album to Liang He: "The old man always looks at the photo album when he has nothing to do these days, and I don't know what he wants to write."
Liang He put the photo album away properly: "Old Ye, how are you doing?"
Ye Yuntong took a sip of tea, and said unhurriedly: "I will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. In fact, I am a little older. The doctor said that it is always good to observe more, so I have been pressing and not letting go. Now the old man lost my temper."
Liang He pursed his lips and smiled, and when he looked up and saw Ye Yuntong looking at her face thoughtfully, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
Ye Yuntong smiled and shook her head: "I don't have much impression of my mother. I have seen the photos these days, and then I look at them again. I really feel like her."
"My mother said so when she was still alive." Liang He smiled lightly, "But grandma is much stronger than me."
"Did I tell you that I hated her?" Ye Yuntong sighed and said, "Although the feeling has faded a lot after such a long time, there are still lumps in my heart."
"I understand." Liang He whispered.
Ye Yuntong smiled wryly: "But do you know, the old man talked about my mother with me when he was free a few days ago. He said that my mother didn't abandon me on purpose, but he begged and begged to leave him a child, so he didn't take it away. I."
Liang He was taken aback.
"You said how ridiculous I am. At the beginning, I thought that no one wanted me, but I never thought it was like this. Liang He, tell me, mother, how is she doing?"
Liang He wanted to talk, but a sudden burst of heartache made it difficult for her to speak.How are you?After leaving, grandma never married again, and died alone.And her mother, who was suspicious and distrustful of men all her life, ended her own life in a car accident.Is this good?
"Grandma has suffered a lot in her life, but she never tells me about it. She swallows all the hardships by herself." Blinking, Liang He continued, "I don't know if Mr. I felt guilty because of my grandma, but even if he did, I don't think he would suffer more than grandma. It is because of this that it is difficult for me to let go of him. "
Ye Yuntong already got the answer from her words, she patted Liang He's hand, and said in a low voice: "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's not talk about it."
Lunch was eaten at Ye's house. In the afternoon, Liang He braved the snow and Zhang Xin walked back from Ye's house.It's not too close along the way, but the little girl likes snow, and she doesn't feel tired after walking all the way.Lin Ran had already left work when it was delivered home. She was working as a kindergarten teacher in the courtyard, and today was the last day, so she left work earlier than usual.Seeing the frozen red faces of the two, Lin Ran felt distressed, and hurriedly pulled the two of them into the room to keep warm, and warmed up with a cup of homemade tea in one hand.
Liang He took a sip of tea and said it was delicious: "Sister-in-law is very capable."
Lin Ran smiled, "It's just a trivial matter, it's nothing." As she spoke, she sent Zhang Xin to do her homework in the house. The little girl was reluctant, but seeing her mother's serious eyes, she still walked into the house with a cup in her hand.
Seeing that the door of her daughter's room was closed, Lin Ran spoke again: "Hehe, how is the matter in Huaining resolved?"
"Things? What's the matter?" Liang He was at a loss.
Lin Ran was a little anxious, "What else can there be? There has been a lot of rumors in the courtyard these days. Several family members know that we are close, and they don't forget to ask me when they send their children to school. I can only shirk and say no." Clear. Have you figured out about the military badge?"
Seeing that she was still in a daze, Lin Ran seemed to understand something, and asked hesitantly, "You, don't you know?"
"I don't know." Liang He murmured.
"Then Huaining kept it from you tightly enough." Lin Ran murmured, seeing Liang He's expression turned pale, he hurriedly laughed, "Hey, it's really nothing, Huaining probably didn't tell you because he was afraid you would worry. Don't think too much about it. , Liang He."
Liang He bit his lip, forced a smile and nodded, back home, Liang He waited for Gu Huaining to come back.
This waited for one night, and it was not until eleven o'clock at night that there was a familiar sound downstairs. Liang Hewo listened intently on the sofa, and after a while, she heard the sound of the door opening from the entrance. Looking out, he happened to see the silhouette of Gu Huaining entering the door.
"Why aren't you sleeping?" Gu Huaining frowned slightly, changed his shoes and stepped into the living room.
Liang He smelled a faint smell of alcohol: "Have you been drinking?"
"Yeah." Gu Huaining sat down next to the sofa, stretched out his fingers and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, the dim wall lamp couldn't hide his fatigue
Liang He sat aside and watched for a while, and finally stretched out his hand to undo the first button of his inner shirt. Seeing that his brow relaxed slightly, he stretched out his arm and locked his waist just as he was about to withdraw, before she had time Struggling, he had already lightly pressed his head on her shoulder.Liang He was stunned by this action, and after a while he lowered his head and asked him, "Why do you drink so much?"
"It's okay, I met some old comrades with my second uncle." He replied in a low voice, but his voice was a little tense.His stomach is not good, and he is prone to astringent pain after drinking.
The work of gently rubbing the stomach was noticed by Liang He. She sighed and said, "Let me make you a glass of honey water to warm your stomach and sober you up."
Sure enough, a cup of warm honey water entered his stomach, and he felt better. He sighed slightly, looked at Liang He who was sitting on the sofa, and frowned, "Go and rest, I'll be fine for a while."
"I'm not sleepy." Liang He muttered, "Why do you drink so much, what happened recently?"
Since she got married for such a long time, the only time she knew that he drank was at the wedding banquet. His wine taste was very good, and his complexion did not change after drinking so much that day. Unlike her, he could drink a little wine He vomited so badly.Drinking so much wine like today, could it be that the matter has not been resolved?
"fine."
The sound was a little blurry, but the man insisted that it was all right.Liang He gave him an annoyed look.
Gu Huaining smiled, leaned his head on the back of the sofa, rubbed his sore forehead with his hands, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, if he wanted others to do things for him, he would have to drink half his life first, if it wasn't for the second uncle to round up the field I'm afraid he'll have to be drunk to come back today.But fortunately, serious business is done.
He raised his hand and hugged Liang He: "It's okay, I'm just tired. Rest early, huh?"
Seeing that he was about to fall asleep, Liang He sighed silently: "Okay."
That night Gu Huaining slept deeply, but Liang He stared at the ceiling for a long time with his eyes open.
In the past few days, she has been learning cooking from Mrs. Ren downstairs, and she also talks about some topics in her free time.Mrs. Ren said that military wives are actually very miserable. Sometimes a military exercise can prevent them from seeing their husbands for more than two months.I also wanted to complain to the man when I encountered something, but I held back when I thought about his hard work in the army.Because it's not worth mentioning.
Mrs. Ren also joked that to be a military wife requires endurance and perseverance, and she must be able to carry a mountain at critical moments.
Liang He couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
The next morning, she woke up very early, watching Gu Huaining in his sleep dazed for a while, then sneaked to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, after a lot of work, the doorbell rang as soon as she put the prepared dishes on the plate, and she trotted When she went to open the door, she was taken aback by someone who came, and it took her a while to respectfully let someone in.
"Wake up so early? It seems that I haven't disturbed you yet." The voice of the visitor was powerful and deep, and it was Mr. Gu.
Liang He blushed for a while; "Dad didn't eat so early, I made some, if you don't dislike it, you can try it." But Liang He was a little ashamed, the old man was used to the dishes made by Aunt Zhang, so come to taste her It is estimated that it will be a kind of torture.
But Mr. Gu agreed, smiling all over his face.
After Gu Huaining woke up, he saw that the old man sitting at his dining table raised his eyebrows slightly, washed up quickly, and then sat down to eat. The two sat opposite each other, and Liang He was sandwiched between them. He was a little worried that he would have indigestion.Just bury your head in the porridge for a meal, and evacuate quickly after drinking.
While Liang He was busy in the kitchen, Gu Huaining took out two stomach medicines and swallowed them with water.Old Master Gu saw it and shook his head disapprovingly.
"Did you drink too much yesterday?"
"If you want something from others, you can't do it without irrigation."
"Pay attention to your health." The old man educated him in turn, "I'm planning to go home the day after tomorrow. Your mother said that if I don't go back, it will be a year. What do you two think?"
It turned out that the old man's visit early in the morning was for this very reason. Gu Huaining took another sip of water and said flatly, "This year is the first year after Lao Zhang passed away. We can't leave the two of them to celebrate the New Year in peace."
The implication is naturally not to go back.The old man didn't speak, but his beard moved slightly, as if he was smiling.This kid made a good excuse, so good that he couldn't refute it even if he wanted to.It is good in the army to take care of the family members of cadres, but there are always people who come to condolences during the New Year and holidays, and he is not the only one.But when Lao Zhang was mentioned, he couldn't object, after all, he was ashamed of others.
The old man sighed: "All these years, Huaiqing Huaiyue didn't stay at home, and you didn't go back to the one that worried your mother the most. Are your wings hard?"
"Aren't you two old people used to it?" Gu Huaining responded indifferently, his eyes fell on Liang He, and he saw her washing her hands in clean water, her serious appearance fascinated him.
Mr. Gu followed his gaze, and it was clear at a glance: "I know that you are jealous of some things your mother did to Hehe. Although there are some offenses, it is still for your own good. Don't always be willful, you still have to go home. "
Gu Huaining smiled, and said lightly that he understood.
In fact, in his opinion, there is nothing wrong with being here, at least she doesn't have to go home to deal with so many people and so many things.
When Liang He came out of the kitchen, the two had already reached an agreement, and the old man was about to leave. Before leaving, he said something meaningful: "This time, I came back disappointed again, and none of the targets set by your mother have been fulfilled."
Gu Huaining smiled, took the old man's coat and sent him away.
Liang He also wanted to go downstairs, but was stopped by Gu Huaining: "Clean up first, and I'll take you to a place later."
"Where are you going?" Liang He asked, but Gu Huaining had already followed the old man downstairs.
After hesitating at the door for a long time, Liang He went back to his room, put on his coat and went downstairs.
Gu Huaining was waiting for her in the car. Liang He got into the car and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Reveal the secret."
Liang He shrugged and said nothing.
The weather was good along the way, and the little snow that fell yesterday has long since melted.Hearing Gu Huaining's tone, Liang He thought that the place he was going to take her was so mysterious, but the familiar scenery of Jingshan Mountain in front of her made her a little dumbfounded. After being depressed for a long time, she turned her head and glared at him.
"You brought me to this kind of place to reveal the secret?"
But Gu Huaining just smiled, and held her hand: "Jingshan is very big, you have only been to Ye's house and the army, and there are many places you haven't been to."
Hearing what he said, she gave up complaining and walked in with him.The Jingshan area cannot be developed into a tourist area at will because there are troops stationed there, and many places retain their original appearance.Compared with other mountains, its biggest feature is that the mountain road is smooth and easy to walk. Since it has snowed, it does not feel muddy. Walking in it and smelling the fresh smell, Liang He feels a little relaxed.
He didn't let go of her hand, "I came to Jingshan for the first time in my third year of high school. At that time, the area was not so well repaired. I almost lost my way, so the first thing I did when I came to Jingshan The thing is knowing the terrain."
"Why did you come here to serve as a soldier?" Liang He asked, but it took him a long time to hear his answer.
"Do you remember you asked me Lin Ke?"
Liang and Moran, of course she remembered!
Gu Huaining also smiled knowingly; "I was in the same class as Lin Ke in the third year of high school. We had a good relationship back then, and we always went to and from school together."
"At that time, the second elder brother had just joined the army and didn't go home often, but every time he came back, he would always bring a lot of things for Mom and Lin Ke. The second elder brother was not good at words, but I think he liked Lin Ke." Said He paused here, and Liang He could feel his hand holding her tighten, "However, I also know that Lin Ke likes me. I've always been aware of this matter, but I never pointed it out."
"why?"
"Because I'm not very good at dealing with other people's liking for me, especially when three people are involved." No matter who pulls out first, it is an inevitable struggle.
"So you ran away to become a soldier?" Liang He was speechless, feeling unbelievable.
"It can be regarded as running away." Gu Huaining smiled, "Now I think that my original intention to become a soldier is not very great, and even a little hasty and ignorant."
"Did you come by yourself?"
Gu Huaining paused and said, "Lu Shiyu went with me. Her hometown is in Shenyang, but she has been studying in City C, and she is in the same class as me. I was in a hurry and was surprised when I saw her at the train station. At that time, the college entrance examination was about to take place. If I did it for her own sake, I couldn’t take her with me, but at the same time, I couldn’t refuse, because at that time, I always felt that if someone could accompany me to do this thing, it would prove that it was a good thing. correct."
Liang He suddenly realized: "Could it be because of this that she always felt that you liked her for a while?"
"Probably so." Looking at the snow-covered distant mountains, Gu Huaining sighed in a low voice, "It should be my fault, so I wish I had refused more decisively at that time."
Shaking his head, Gu Huaining led her to continue walking.
"Later, my second brother got married, and I didn't go to their wedding. I didn't go to see her until Lin Ke was pregnant and was admitted to the hospital to give birth. Later, she died of dystocia."
After Gu Huaining finished speaking, there was a moment of silence between the two of them.Liang He shook his hand, as if to call him back from the past memory.
"When Lin Ke passed away, my second brother hardly talked to me, and finally told me that Shi Yu came to visit Lin Ke before me, and they talked for a while, and Lin Ke hasn't felt better since she left. She has always suffered from prenatal depression, which once threatened the life of the fetus. At that time, the second brother had given up hope, and she never thought that the child would be left behind and the adult would leave."
Liang and Mo Mo, she can imagine the scene of two women who love this man face to face. They used to be classmates, and they had a crush on an equally outstanding man at their best age. Maybe they used to compete secretly, just for more Excited to get his gaze.Finally one day Lin Ke stopped waiting for him and he got married, but Lu Shiyu was always by his side, even if he still couldn't get his affection, he could easily defeat him.Just because she stood by his side, Lin Ke might never be able to bear this kind of failure.
The best way to express your love for someone is to be by his side and share everything with him.
Gu Huaining took her to stop at the gate of a cemetery.
Liang He was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"
Gu Huaining took a deep look at her, then turned his head and said, "Lin Ke is buried here."
Liang He couldn't stop being surprised.It snowed yesterday, and the cemetery was covered with snow, but Lin Ke's tomb was cleaned cleanly.Gu Huaining leaned over and touched the cool tombstone and smiled: "It seems that the second brother has been here."
Liang He walked over slowly, staring quietly at the person in the photo.No wonder she only thought it looked familiar but couldn't remember it. She had only seen the photos of Lin Ke when she was 17 years old. At that time, she was full of youth, with a happy smile on the corner of her mouth.But looking at the solemn black-and-white photo on the tombstone, Liang He could only feel a faint sadness from her calm face, the former happiness was gone.
"Second brother must be suffering too."
"Sometimes I admire my second brother very much." Gu Huaining said, "Before Lin Ke gave birth, he had just participated in a military exercise. After the exercise, he received the news that Lin Ke had passed away in dystocia. The funeral was organized by the second brother, and he acted swiftly. People can't see the clue, but I know he is sad, otherwise he would not leave the special brigade and be automatically transferred here to stay with her for so long."
Gu Huaining sighed, "It's like stepping into the prisoner's dilemma. Everyone else is freed and released after serving his sentence. He is the only one who will face a longer period of inner imprisonment. I don't know when the knot will be untied."
Liang He was a little astonished.She couldn't imagine that a man with such a gentle smile would imprison herself for so long. If there was anything wrong with him, he might just want an ordinary happiness.Now she can only hope that such self-torture will not be a lifetime, because he has too many reasons to be happy.
"Is it because of this that you also stay here?"
As a person, he must feel guilty about this situation.After all, Lin Ke liked him so much.
Gu Huaining smiled bitterly: "I'm not that great."
It's just that this act of redemption can make him feel better. After all, he just wants peace of mind.
Liang He suddenly felt uncomfortable after hearing this.
Such a woman made two men feel guilty at the same time.Is such obsessed and unrepentant love worth it? "I understand." Liang He said, "That's why you stayed in City B."
No wonder the old man and the old lady refused to go home after persuading him so many times. No wonder they didn't feel uncomfortable hearing such a reason.
"Do you think I'm quite useless and it takes so long?" Gu Huaining looked at her with obvious self-mockery.
Liang He shook his head silently: "I understand."
In her opinion, he is really an invincible person, so when she saw his fragile side today, she felt uncontrollably distressed.
Gu Huaining, when can I share all of this for you?
(End of this chapter)
Mr. Gu and Gu Changming were accompanied by Gu Huaining to visit Mr. Ye.
Before he went out, Liang He pretended to be an ostrich and nested in the quilt. Gu Huaining knew it and didn't force her, and covered her with the quilt and went out directly.In fact, it doesn't matter if Liang He doesn't go, Mr. Ye's place is always full of people these days, and the people who come and go are all from the same circle. When they see Liang He, they will inevitably ask.It wasn't that he was afraid of asking, but he subconsciously didn't want Liang He to get involved with these people too much.
When they arrived, only the Ye family were present. Ye Yuntong hadn't seen the elders of the Gu family for a long time, and they had a long chat with them. Gu Huaining, the exclusive companion, had nothing to do, and his eyes swept over Ye Yizhen.
"Boss Ye is working so early?"
Ye Yizhen listened to his teasing, put down the original materials in his hand, took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose, "A project is coming to an end, so you can't keep an eye on it."
Looking around, he didn't see Liang He's figure. It seems that the old man was completely beaten this time.Ye Yizhen smiled faintly, and looked at Gu Huaining: "Why are you so free these two days? I didn't see you follow me all the time when my uncle came before."
Gu Huaining leisurely fiddled with the flowers in the vase, and when he heard this, his lips curled up: "Something happened, the superior asked me to rest for a few days."
Despite such an understatement, Ye Yizhen, who grew up in the military compound, still sensed something was wrong.The meaning of letting him rest for a few days is obviously to suspend his job first, and it will never be a matter of "something" to get to this point. Thinking of this, he frowned slightly and asked: "What's going on?" Son?"
Suddenly a thorn on the flower stem pierced his finger, and a drop of blood burst out immediately.Gu Huaining frowned slightly, then withdrew his hand and said, "Some time ago, the Ministry of Military Affairs checked three real military license plates on the highway. Unfortunately, the driver who drove the car couldn't show his military officer card or report his army number. side."
"So someone in the regiment resold military licenses?"
"Guess who stood up in the end?"
Ye Yizhen shook his head. Although he has a lot of contacts in the army, he seldom cares about ordinary things.
"You also know this person, Zhang Wen, the son of Chief of Staff Zhang's family in the military region." After finishing speaking, he sneered, "It's hard for Chief of Staff Zhang to take so much effort to send people to the army, but I see that he has been in the army for a few years. Even if you go out every year, you won’t be able to make a climate.”
This kid, Ye Yizhen, has also heard of the famous gangster. His old man has no choice but to send him to the army to practice for a few years, hoping that his temper will be restrained, but he doesn't know that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Those who are trapped by the army are also those little soldiers. Son, how could someone with a background like him take this restraint seriously? Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking: "This is his business, why did it involve you?"
A while ago, the list of commendations for the military exercise had just come down, and the regiment had reported third-class merit to Gao Yongjun, the commander of the second battalion. A few days before the military medal was awarded, a notice came from the military region saying that he would be suspended from his duties and asked him to cooperate with the investigation.It is said that those who were caught confessed that these military badges were resold by a major in this army, and even named Gao Yongjun by name.
Zhao Ganhe slapped the table when he heard this, not to mention Gao Yongjun, a battalion commander with no background, but he had to weigh himself if he wanted to get three real military cards at once. This is the law of framing.But even if there is no evidence to refute it, it is useless.The man who drove the fake military vehicle over there was fined and released because he pleaded guilty quite well, while Gao Yongjun's matter here is still on hold waiting for the outcome.
Ye Yizhen thought for a while: "Did Zhang Wen move his hands and feet?"
"I'm not sure, but he's suspected of having no silver 300 taels in this preemptive strike." Gu Huaining said, "I know Gao Yongjun. A top student at the University of National Defense Science and Technology doesn't want to ruin his career for such a small amount of money, and this person is me. I was promoted from below, how can I say that I have to be guaranteed.”
Ye Yizhen pondered for a moment: "This is not a simple matter. It's fine if the army can't find out this kind of thing, but once it is found out, it won't be able to withstand it with a few sentences."
"Well, I understand." Gu Huaining smiled lightly, and raised his chin towards the ward inside, "Isn't it that two great gods have been moved here, it's not bad to take advantage of these few days to rest."
"Then, does Liang He know about this?"
Gu Huaining was startled: "Let her know what to do?"
"I'm afraid you haven't told her about your suspension of duties." Ye Yizhen smiled and said, "It's better not to hide some things, otherwise it may make her feel that she is not taken seriously."
Gu Huaining raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, but he really didn't think so much.
Seeing that Ye Yizhen was still looking at him, he patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, I understand."
Old comrades-in-arms always had a lot to talk about when they met, but Mr. Ye's physical condition did not allow it, so Mr. Gu left early.
Before leaving, Gu Huaining went in to say hello to Elder Ye. Elder Ye smiled, his eyes drifted away as if he was looking for something, Gu Huaining understood, and he didn't see that Elder Ye was disappointed, one was his elders, and the other was his wife.It's not easy to weigh, so he might as well just be eccentric, and he's not willing to force her to do something she doesn't want to do.However, the old man's face was a little weird, and he couldn't help but speak after getting into the car.
"Huaining, do you understand Hehe's life experience or not?"
"Not as much as you and the old lady."
The old man's face darkened when he heard this, and Second Uncle Gu Changming who was sitting beside him couldn't help but smile.The third kid from the Gu family took the opportunity to anger the second elder in the family.
In the end, the old man thought about it, and sighed leisurely: "Anyway, since Lao Ye has confirmed it, we have to admit it."
"Liang He hasn't recognized him yet."
The old man raised his brows: "Oh, this child is different. Many aspects are beyond my expectation."
The tone was meaningful, and Gu Huaining frowned slightly: "You don't spend much time with her, why are you unexpected in many ways?"
Gu Changming, who was sitting on the side, was having a headache. These two people were not talking about everyday life, they were just trying to set each other up in the middle of their conversation.The old man was depressed, seeing that the car in front of him was about to turn a corner, he hurriedly asked, "Are you going to the family courtyard?"
Gu Huaining didn't look sideways, and turned a blind eye to the emotional old man: "There is no place to live in the family courtyard, so you can go to the army guest house to make ends meet for a few days."
The old man is angry.
Liang He really talked to the old man on the third day after he arrived in City B.The old man was very busy with work, and it was not easy for Liang He to meet him in City C before. Now that the old man took the time to meet her, Liang He unconsciously felt a little nervous.
Gu Huaining looked at her tense appearance of tossing clothes up, down, left, and right in front of the mirror: "I'll go with you."
Liang He looked over and said, "No, it's best if you don't even send it, I want to go by myself."
"How do you go by yourself? The old man is in the army guest house. Can you just go in?"
"Then you don't need to send it." Liang He lowered his eyelids, "I think the old man must have something to tell me, and it seems timid to ask you to accompany him."
He couldn't help laughing, but he stopped insisting, and asked the driver Xiao Zhang to drive her over with a cheetah.
When Liang He arrived, the army was organizing afternoon training, and there were not many people coming and going. Liang He walked all the way, but she didn't feel embarrassed to be looked at by others. Suddenly, a pair of black leather shoes broke into her sight. She hurriedly stopped and looked up. People from all over the world.
Seeing that it was Zhao Qianhe, Liang He relaxed.
"Come to see Uncle Gu?"
Liang He nodded: "What are you doing at the guest house?"
"I'm also here to see Uncle Gu." Zhao Qianhe said with a smile, and looked down at his watch, "It's almost time, so I won't accompany you in, let's go first."
Liang He looked at his back and wondered for a while, he seemed to be very busy, why the one at home was so busy.
Mr. Gu's room is arranged at the end, and the door is ajar.Liang He took a deep breath, knocked on the door a few times but no one responded, thought for a moment, opened the door and walked in gently.
Mr. Gu was on the phone, and when he saw her, he just nodded slightly.After Liang He sat down, she looked around, but she didn't see any third person besides her and the old man, and the serious expression of the old man when he answered the phone made her feel a little nervous.
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be chattering endlessly, and the old man became impatient, tapping his fingers on the marble tabletop, frowning slightly: "Come on, you have the ability to persuade your son to go, don't keep trying on me. "
These words made Liang He's heart skip a beat, is the person on the other end of the phone Li Wan?
I don't know what the person on the other side said, but the old man showed a smile: "How can I persuade, the children's tempers are different from each other. If you want me to say these things, let them do it themselves." After a pause, He said, "Okay, let's hang up."
The old man hung up the phone neatly, Liang He looked at the old man before Liang He could look away, her thoughtful eyes fell on the old man's eyes exactly, and the old man smiled; "Don't Worry, it's Ganhe's father."
It turned out to be the case.
Liang He wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but the old man was still looking at her, so she had to say it, otherwise she would admit that she was "worried".
Mr. Gu didn't seem to notice her nervousness at all, he sat down slowly, took a sip of the brewed tea, and then slowly said: "I've been in city B for a few days, and I haven't seen you and Huaining calling home The phone call made your mother worry for a long time. How is it, are you still used to it?"
"It's pretty good. I was just a little uncomfortable at first, but it's getting better recently."
The old man nodded: "I heard about the matter between you and Lao Ye's family that day, and I know Lao Ye's attitude. But Huaining said that you haven't admitted it yet. Is it true?"
Facing the old man's inquiring eyes, Liang He thought for a moment: "The Ye family treated me well. If he was just Mr. Ye, then I can still respect him as an elder. But if I want to change to the identity of my grandfather, I'm afraid it's hard to tell. No. After all, he failed grandma."
This is somewhat of an avoidance mentality.
But the old man didn't criticize her; "Forget it, everyone has their own advantages, you can make up your own mind." He said with a meaningful look at Liang He, "Actually, from the perspective of a bystander, your idea is really stupid. This kind of opportunity is given to others, but it is a happy event for a sparrow to fly on a branch and become a phoenix, with relatives, background and backing."
Liang He smiled wryly: "The time when I needed a backer the most is over, and now I'm doing pretty well. As for my relatives, I think it may take me a while to get used to it."
The old man understood, and didn't say any more about this question, he just asked: "It's almost the new year, don't you plan to go back for the new year this year?"
This question is not easy to answer, Liang He had an idea and said, "I listen to Huaining."
This Tai Chi beat made the old man frowned again; "If you have time, I will go back to City C. Your mother has always wanted Huaining to return to City C. I will not force you, but sometimes you can persuade him to go back Just go back directly."
"it is good."
Liang He smiled lightly, and did not dare to let out a big breath until he was out the door. Finally, he kicked the ball to Gu Huaining!
It was almost dark, Liang He wrapped his clothes and put on his hat and walked towards the cheetah car.As soon as his hand reached the door switch, the door opened from the inside with a click. Liang He smiled and thanked him as he got into the car. When he looked up, he saw Gu Huaining's handsome face full of smiles.
"Didn't I say you weren't allowed to pick it up? Why are you here again?" Liang He was a little surprised.
He watched her put on her seat belt: "It's almost dinner time, I'll let Xiao Zhang go first."
"No wonder there are so many people." She whispered, the hat on her head was lifted off her head as soon as she said the words, and she was just about to stare at it, when she suddenly saw someone poking her head out of the car window, "Stop making trouble, there are people."
The car window fell, Gao Yongjun poked his head in from the outside
"What's the matter?" Gu Huaining withdrew his hand and asked.
Gao Yongjun saw Gu Huaining's face beaming with joy, and when his eyes touched Liang He, he hesitated a little: "It's okay, come over and say hello."
Gu Huaining smiled: "Okay, dinner is ready, hurry up and eat, I'll go first."
Gao Yongjun nodded hesitantly.
As the car drove away, Liang He couldn't help asking curiously, "Who is this?"
"I have a battalion commander under me." Gu Huaining said while inspecting the road conditions, and stopped for a while when he reached the gate to cooperate with the soldiers to check the license plate.
"I see that everyone is very busy, why are you the most free?"
"It's not good for me to be free. I can spend more time with you. This is called taking care of family members' emotions."
Comrade Liang He: "..."
Gu Huaining glanced at her with a smile: "Have you talked well with the old man?"
"It's okay. But the old man said that he wants us to go back during the Chinese New Year."
"Do you want to go back?"
Liang He was a little conflicted: "I want to go back, but I don't want to go back."
Gu Huaining smiled after hearing this, and after a long time, said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter whether you come back or not, I'll listen to you."
Liang He couldn't help but look at him more, and his heart became warm.It was already seven o'clock in the evening when I got home, and because of the snow, the ground was a little slippery, so he sent her to the stairs before parking the car.Liang He raised his head and looked upstairs, and saw Mrs. Ren boiling Chinese medicine
"Do you still have to make medicine at such a late hour?" Liang He asked in surprise.
"It's an old problem, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't take medicine. I'm used to it." Mrs. Ren smiled and suppressed the anger a little.
"You are not feeling well?"
Sister-in-law Ren shook her head and pointed to the room: "It's that one. Every time he gets sick, he will hold on. I have to boil the medicine and force him to drink it."
Liang He chuckled, and could easily understand Sao Ren's position in the family.It seems that even if he is a strong man outside, he can also be a childish man who needs his wife to take care of him at home.This is pretty good, especially if you add a woman like Sister Ren who can take care of you, so you can be regarded as a qualified military wife.
As for myself, I'm afraid there is room for improvement.Liang He thought with a smile.
Early the next morning after seeing the old man, Liang He received a call from Li Wan.Aside from the accident, I couldn't help being a little nervous, holding the receiver in one hand and the handle of the toothbrush in the other, standing upright in the living room listening to the person on the other end of the phone.
Li Wan didn't say anything, but just asked how the old man's health was these few days. Liang He knew from the lines that the old man was feeling unwell before he set off, and he had medicine with him, but she didn't notice it at all.Thinking of this, Liang He felt a little ashamed, but fortunately Li Wan didn't pursue it, and just asked her to remind the old man more.
At the end of the phone call, Li Wan asked, "The Chinese New Year is only a few days away, are you planning to come back?"
"Hmm..." Liang He asked Gu Huaining for help while procrastinating.
Gu Huaining simply answered the phone.He was already very good at dealing with the old lady, he changed the topic in a few words, and in the end he didn't make a clear promise whether he would go home or not, so the old lady hung up the phone in anger.
Liang He heard clearly from the side, and was a little distressed; "Is this okay?"
Gu Huaining teased her: "I've thrown all the hot potatoes at me, so you're still worried, okay?"
"Hey. Don't tell me, it's really difficult for me to deal with the old lady."
Gu Huaining raised his eyebrows a little, and began to shave in front of the mirror: "It's more appropriate for me to answer this kind of question." Firstly, he can't just answer his work questions at will, and secondly, he doesn't want his mother to keep bringing up this question. embarrass her.
Liang He felt that what this person said made sense, but at this moment she suddenly remembered something: "By the way, why would you rather stay on the mountain than transfer back to City C?"
Gu Huaining paused for a moment when he wiped his face. After removing the towel, his expression returned to normal. He even smiled a little when he looked at Liang He. He squeezed the toothpaste for her, and when he stuffed it back into her hand, he squeezed it again. She pinched her face: "Brush your teeth first, and when I have time, I will take you to a place, and you will understand."
It's a set of mysteries again!Liang He pouted, brushing his teeth in the mirror depressedly.
After a while, Gu Huaining put on his military uniform and came out of the bedroom. Liang He saw it and asked vaguely, "Are you going out?"
"Well, I'm going to see the old man, and then go to the division with my second uncle."
"Oh, then you remember to remind the old man to take medicine, Mom said he is not in good health recently."
"understood."
Gu Huaining drove the cheetah back to No. [-], this was the second time he had returned to the regiment in the past few days.It stands to reason that an officer must reflect after being suspended from duty, and Comrade Gu Huaining has the right to take a big vacation and take a good rest.Before entering the door of the office, he saw Gao Yongjun waiting outside, Gu Huaining smiled, opened the door and led him in.
"Standing guard early in the morning?"
He made a joke in a good mood, but Gao Yongjun did not relax his facial expression because of this joke, he still stood there straight, until Gu Huaining ordered him to sit down next to the chair: "Captain, yesterday was yours family?"
"Yeah." Gu Huaining admitted without hesitation, and told him by the way, "Don't tell her about this, it will be resolved soon, so don't take it to heart."
Gao Yongjun nodded, in fact, he felt quite ashamed of Gu Huaining.
Originally, he was in a company under the division, and he won the first place in a competition and evaluation held in the army, and won No.1. After returning, besides a paper certificate, Gu Huaining also deliberately trained him With promotion, it can be said that Gu Huaining, the head of the regiment, has contributed a lot to getting to this position today.
The matter of the military license plate was obviously framed. Although he couldn't produce evidence for this, he could have a clear conscience, but he felt extremely sorry for dragging Gu Huaining into the water all of a sudden.
"Leader, if you don't mind this matter, don't worry about it. The higher authorities will punish you. I admit it." , but just not reconciled.
"This matter is not as simple as you think." Gu Huaining looked at him with a serious expression, "Tell me honestly, do you have anything to do with those people who bought the military license plate?"
Gao Yongjun's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly promised: "No, absolutely not."
"That's fine." Gu Huaining patted him on the shoulder, "Then you don't have to worry about this matter, I have a plan in mind what to do."
What he said was not consolation, but it was true in his heart, after all, the old man was still offering sacrifices in the guest house.
Gu Huaining walked towards the guest house in a leisurely manner. When he reached the old man's room, he heard a slight cough coming from inside. When he opened the door, the smell of smoke lingered, and he was so choked that he also coughed.
Gu Huaining knocked on the door of the room to remind the old man: "You haven't taken medicine these few days, have you switched to nicotine instead?"
Mr. Gu glanced at him calmly: "Smoking a few cigarettes to relieve fatigue."
"Where's the second uncle?"
"Say it's coming later, and then you can drive your second uncle back, and go meet some people with him and have a meal with him. Don't be unhappy, I won't show up."
"I know." Gu Huaining laughed a little, the old man still treated him like a child, "I'll go downstairs and wait for Second Uncle, don't smoke so much, pay attention to your health."
The old man smiled slightly: "Let's go."
After Liang He had breakfast, she went to Lin Ran's house. She was helping Zhang Xin with her English these days.Although it is winter vacation, Zhang Xin needs to take an exam when she enters the school as a transfer student. The little girl is not good at English from birth, and her grades are not good. Every time she is lucky, she just passes the passing line, usually at 60 points Lingering below made Lin Ran anxious enough.The little girl is not in a hurry, because according to her, she grows up and never goes abroad, so why is she so good at learning English?But right now because of the entrance exam, I have to make up for it.
When Liang He received the call from Ye Yuntong, Zhang Xin was busy revising the translation question: "What are you busy with recently, and you don't come to play at home?"
"I'm helping a child with English tutoring, and I can't leave."
After finishing speaking, Ye Yuntong's hearty laughter came from the other end, "Then you bring that child along, and I'll return the photo album to you by the way."
When Liang He was still hesitating, Zhang Xin tugged at his sleeves. The little girl's eyes were filled with anticipation. She had been befriending this child for several days. After thinking about it, Liang He agreed.
Zhang Xin finally let the wind go, and when he arrived at Ye's house and saw the beautiful scenery all over the yard, he couldn't help exclaiming. Liang He patted her head amusedly.
After staying in City B for so many years, Ye Yuntong also knew Commissar Zhang, and treated Zhang Xin very kindly.She found cartoons for the little girl to watch, while she sat chatting with Liang He in the side hall.
Ye Yuntong returned the photo album to Liang He: "The old man always looks at the photo album when he has nothing to do these days, and I don't know what he wants to write."
Liang He put the photo album away properly: "Old Ye, how are you doing?"
Ye Yuntong took a sip of tea, and said unhurriedly: "I will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. In fact, I am a little older. The doctor said that it is always good to observe more, so I have been pressing and not letting go. Now the old man lost my temper."
Liang He pursed his lips and smiled, and when he looked up and saw Ye Yuntong looking at her face thoughtfully, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
Ye Yuntong smiled and shook her head: "I don't have much impression of my mother. I have seen the photos these days, and then I look at them again. I really feel like her."
"My mother said so when she was still alive." Liang He smiled lightly, "But grandma is much stronger than me."
"Did I tell you that I hated her?" Ye Yuntong sighed and said, "Although the feeling has faded a lot after such a long time, there are still lumps in my heart."
"I understand." Liang He whispered.
Ye Yuntong smiled wryly: "But do you know, the old man talked about my mother with me when he was free a few days ago. He said that my mother didn't abandon me on purpose, but he begged and begged to leave him a child, so he didn't take it away. I."
Liang He was taken aback.
"You said how ridiculous I am. At the beginning, I thought that no one wanted me, but I never thought it was like this. Liang He, tell me, mother, how is she doing?"
Liang He wanted to talk, but a sudden burst of heartache made it difficult for her to speak.How are you?After leaving, grandma never married again, and died alone.And her mother, who was suspicious and distrustful of men all her life, ended her own life in a car accident.Is this good?
"Grandma has suffered a lot in her life, but she never tells me about it. She swallows all the hardships by herself." Blinking, Liang He continued, "I don't know if Mr. I felt guilty because of my grandma, but even if he did, I don't think he would suffer more than grandma. It is because of this that it is difficult for me to let go of him. "
Ye Yuntong already got the answer from her words, she patted Liang He's hand, and said in a low voice: "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's not talk about it."
Lunch was eaten at Ye's house. In the afternoon, Liang He braved the snow and Zhang Xin walked back from Ye's house.It's not too close along the way, but the little girl likes snow, and she doesn't feel tired after walking all the way.Lin Ran had already left work when it was delivered home. She was working as a kindergarten teacher in the courtyard, and today was the last day, so she left work earlier than usual.Seeing the frozen red faces of the two, Lin Ran felt distressed, and hurriedly pulled the two of them into the room to keep warm, and warmed up with a cup of homemade tea in one hand.
Liang He took a sip of tea and said it was delicious: "Sister-in-law is very capable."
Lin Ran smiled, "It's just a trivial matter, it's nothing." As she spoke, she sent Zhang Xin to do her homework in the house. The little girl was reluctant, but seeing her mother's serious eyes, she still walked into the house with a cup in her hand.
Seeing that the door of her daughter's room was closed, Lin Ran spoke again: "Hehe, how is the matter in Huaining resolved?"
"Things? What's the matter?" Liang He was at a loss.
Lin Ran was a little anxious, "What else can there be? There has been a lot of rumors in the courtyard these days. Several family members know that we are close, and they don't forget to ask me when they send their children to school. I can only shirk and say no." Clear. Have you figured out about the military badge?"
Seeing that she was still in a daze, Lin Ran seemed to understand something, and asked hesitantly, "You, don't you know?"
"I don't know." Liang He murmured.
"Then Huaining kept it from you tightly enough." Lin Ran murmured, seeing Liang He's expression turned pale, he hurriedly laughed, "Hey, it's really nothing, Huaining probably didn't tell you because he was afraid you would worry. Don't think too much about it. , Liang He."
Liang He bit his lip, forced a smile and nodded, back home, Liang He waited for Gu Huaining to come back.
This waited for one night, and it was not until eleven o'clock at night that there was a familiar sound downstairs. Liang Hewo listened intently on the sofa, and after a while, she heard the sound of the door opening from the entrance. Looking out, he happened to see the silhouette of Gu Huaining entering the door.
"Why aren't you sleeping?" Gu Huaining frowned slightly, changed his shoes and stepped into the living room.
Liang He smelled a faint smell of alcohol: "Have you been drinking?"
"Yeah." Gu Huaining sat down next to the sofa, stretched out his fingers and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, the dim wall lamp couldn't hide his fatigue
Liang He sat aside and watched for a while, and finally stretched out his hand to undo the first button of his inner shirt. Seeing that his brow relaxed slightly, he stretched out his arm and locked his waist just as he was about to withdraw, before she had time Struggling, he had already lightly pressed his head on her shoulder.Liang He was stunned by this action, and after a while he lowered his head and asked him, "Why do you drink so much?"
"It's okay, I met some old comrades with my second uncle." He replied in a low voice, but his voice was a little tense.His stomach is not good, and he is prone to astringent pain after drinking.
The work of gently rubbing the stomach was noticed by Liang He. She sighed and said, "Let me make you a glass of honey water to warm your stomach and sober you up."
Sure enough, a cup of warm honey water entered his stomach, and he felt better. He sighed slightly, looked at Liang He who was sitting on the sofa, and frowned, "Go and rest, I'll be fine for a while."
"I'm not sleepy." Liang He muttered, "Why do you drink so much, what happened recently?"
Since she got married for such a long time, the only time she knew that he drank was at the wedding banquet. His wine taste was very good, and his complexion did not change after drinking so much that day. Unlike her, he could drink a little wine He vomited so badly.Drinking so much wine like today, could it be that the matter has not been resolved?
"fine."
The sound was a little blurry, but the man insisted that it was all right.Liang He gave him an annoyed look.
Gu Huaining smiled, leaned his head on the back of the sofa, rubbed his sore forehead with his hands, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, if he wanted others to do things for him, he would have to drink half his life first, if it wasn't for the second uncle to round up the field I'm afraid he'll have to be drunk to come back today.But fortunately, serious business is done.
He raised his hand and hugged Liang He: "It's okay, I'm just tired. Rest early, huh?"
Seeing that he was about to fall asleep, Liang He sighed silently: "Okay."
That night Gu Huaining slept deeply, but Liang He stared at the ceiling for a long time with his eyes open.
In the past few days, she has been learning cooking from Mrs. Ren downstairs, and she also talks about some topics in her free time.Mrs. Ren said that military wives are actually very miserable. Sometimes a military exercise can prevent them from seeing their husbands for more than two months.I also wanted to complain to the man when I encountered something, but I held back when I thought about his hard work in the army.Because it's not worth mentioning.
Mrs. Ren also joked that to be a military wife requires endurance and perseverance, and she must be able to carry a mountain at critical moments.
Liang He couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
The next morning, she woke up very early, watching Gu Huaining in his sleep dazed for a while, then sneaked to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, after a lot of work, the doorbell rang as soon as she put the prepared dishes on the plate, and she trotted When she went to open the door, she was taken aback by someone who came, and it took her a while to respectfully let someone in.
"Wake up so early? It seems that I haven't disturbed you yet." The voice of the visitor was powerful and deep, and it was Mr. Gu.
Liang He blushed for a while; "Dad didn't eat so early, I made some, if you don't dislike it, you can try it." But Liang He was a little ashamed, the old man was used to the dishes made by Aunt Zhang, so come to taste her It is estimated that it will be a kind of torture.
But Mr. Gu agreed, smiling all over his face.
After Gu Huaining woke up, he saw that the old man sitting at his dining table raised his eyebrows slightly, washed up quickly, and then sat down to eat. The two sat opposite each other, and Liang He was sandwiched between them. He was a little worried that he would have indigestion.Just bury your head in the porridge for a meal, and evacuate quickly after drinking.
While Liang He was busy in the kitchen, Gu Huaining took out two stomach medicines and swallowed them with water.Old Master Gu saw it and shook his head disapprovingly.
"Did you drink too much yesterday?"
"If you want something from others, you can't do it without irrigation."
"Pay attention to your health." The old man educated him in turn, "I'm planning to go home the day after tomorrow. Your mother said that if I don't go back, it will be a year. What do you two think?"
It turned out that the old man's visit early in the morning was for this very reason. Gu Huaining took another sip of water and said flatly, "This year is the first year after Lao Zhang passed away. We can't leave the two of them to celebrate the New Year in peace."
The implication is naturally not to go back.The old man didn't speak, but his beard moved slightly, as if he was smiling.This kid made a good excuse, so good that he couldn't refute it even if he wanted to.It is good in the army to take care of the family members of cadres, but there are always people who come to condolences during the New Year and holidays, and he is not the only one.But when Lao Zhang was mentioned, he couldn't object, after all, he was ashamed of others.
The old man sighed: "All these years, Huaiqing Huaiyue didn't stay at home, and you didn't go back to the one that worried your mother the most. Are your wings hard?"
"Aren't you two old people used to it?" Gu Huaining responded indifferently, his eyes fell on Liang He, and he saw her washing her hands in clean water, her serious appearance fascinated him.
Mr. Gu followed his gaze, and it was clear at a glance: "I know that you are jealous of some things your mother did to Hehe. Although there are some offenses, it is still for your own good. Don't always be willful, you still have to go home. "
Gu Huaining smiled, and said lightly that he understood.
In fact, in his opinion, there is nothing wrong with being here, at least she doesn't have to go home to deal with so many people and so many things.
When Liang He came out of the kitchen, the two had already reached an agreement, and the old man was about to leave. Before leaving, he said something meaningful: "This time, I came back disappointed again, and none of the targets set by your mother have been fulfilled."
Gu Huaining smiled, took the old man's coat and sent him away.
Liang He also wanted to go downstairs, but was stopped by Gu Huaining: "Clean up first, and I'll take you to a place later."
"Where are you going?" Liang He asked, but Gu Huaining had already followed the old man downstairs.
After hesitating at the door for a long time, Liang He went back to his room, put on his coat and went downstairs.
Gu Huaining was waiting for her in the car. Liang He got into the car and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Reveal the secret."
Liang He shrugged and said nothing.
The weather was good along the way, and the little snow that fell yesterday has long since melted.Hearing Gu Huaining's tone, Liang He thought that the place he was going to take her was so mysterious, but the familiar scenery of Jingshan Mountain in front of her made her a little dumbfounded. After being depressed for a long time, she turned her head and glared at him.
"You brought me to this kind of place to reveal the secret?"
But Gu Huaining just smiled, and held her hand: "Jingshan is very big, you have only been to Ye's house and the army, and there are many places you haven't been to."
Hearing what he said, she gave up complaining and walked in with him.The Jingshan area cannot be developed into a tourist area at will because there are troops stationed there, and many places retain their original appearance.Compared with other mountains, its biggest feature is that the mountain road is smooth and easy to walk. Since it has snowed, it does not feel muddy. Walking in it and smelling the fresh smell, Liang He feels a little relaxed.
He didn't let go of her hand, "I came to Jingshan for the first time in my third year of high school. At that time, the area was not so well repaired. I almost lost my way, so the first thing I did when I came to Jingshan The thing is knowing the terrain."
"Why did you come here to serve as a soldier?" Liang He asked, but it took him a long time to hear his answer.
"Do you remember you asked me Lin Ke?"
Liang and Moran, of course she remembered!
Gu Huaining also smiled knowingly; "I was in the same class as Lin Ke in the third year of high school. We had a good relationship back then, and we always went to and from school together."
"At that time, the second elder brother had just joined the army and didn't go home often, but every time he came back, he would always bring a lot of things for Mom and Lin Ke. The second elder brother was not good at words, but I think he liked Lin Ke." Said He paused here, and Liang He could feel his hand holding her tighten, "However, I also know that Lin Ke likes me. I've always been aware of this matter, but I never pointed it out."
"why?"
"Because I'm not very good at dealing with other people's liking for me, especially when three people are involved." No matter who pulls out first, it is an inevitable struggle.
"So you ran away to become a soldier?" Liang He was speechless, feeling unbelievable.
"It can be regarded as running away." Gu Huaining smiled, "Now I think that my original intention to become a soldier is not very great, and even a little hasty and ignorant."
"Did you come by yourself?"
Gu Huaining paused and said, "Lu Shiyu went with me. Her hometown is in Shenyang, but she has been studying in City C, and she is in the same class as me. I was in a hurry and was surprised when I saw her at the train station. At that time, the college entrance examination was about to take place. If I did it for her own sake, I couldn’t take her with me, but at the same time, I couldn’t refuse, because at that time, I always felt that if someone could accompany me to do this thing, it would prove that it was a good thing. correct."
Liang He suddenly realized: "Could it be because of this that she always felt that you liked her for a while?"
"Probably so." Looking at the snow-covered distant mountains, Gu Huaining sighed in a low voice, "It should be my fault, so I wish I had refused more decisively at that time."
Shaking his head, Gu Huaining led her to continue walking.
"Later, my second brother got married, and I didn't go to their wedding. I didn't go to see her until Lin Ke was pregnant and was admitted to the hospital to give birth. Later, she died of dystocia."
After Gu Huaining finished speaking, there was a moment of silence between the two of them.Liang He shook his hand, as if to call him back from the past memory.
"When Lin Ke passed away, my second brother hardly talked to me, and finally told me that Shi Yu came to visit Lin Ke before me, and they talked for a while, and Lin Ke hasn't felt better since she left. She has always suffered from prenatal depression, which once threatened the life of the fetus. At that time, the second brother had given up hope, and she never thought that the child would be left behind and the adult would leave."
Liang and Mo Mo, she can imagine the scene of two women who love this man face to face. They used to be classmates, and they had a crush on an equally outstanding man at their best age. Maybe they used to compete secretly, just for more Excited to get his gaze.Finally one day Lin Ke stopped waiting for him and he got married, but Lu Shiyu was always by his side, even if he still couldn't get his affection, he could easily defeat him.Just because she stood by his side, Lin Ke might never be able to bear this kind of failure.
The best way to express your love for someone is to be by his side and share everything with him.
Gu Huaining took her to stop at the gate of a cemetery.
Liang He was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"
Gu Huaining took a deep look at her, then turned his head and said, "Lin Ke is buried here."
Liang He couldn't stop being surprised.It snowed yesterday, and the cemetery was covered with snow, but Lin Ke's tomb was cleaned cleanly.Gu Huaining leaned over and touched the cool tombstone and smiled: "It seems that the second brother has been here."
Liang He walked over slowly, staring quietly at the person in the photo.No wonder she only thought it looked familiar but couldn't remember it. She had only seen the photos of Lin Ke when she was 17 years old. At that time, she was full of youth, with a happy smile on the corner of her mouth.But looking at the solemn black-and-white photo on the tombstone, Liang He could only feel a faint sadness from her calm face, the former happiness was gone.
"Second brother must be suffering too."
"Sometimes I admire my second brother very much." Gu Huaining said, "Before Lin Ke gave birth, he had just participated in a military exercise. After the exercise, he received the news that Lin Ke had passed away in dystocia. The funeral was organized by the second brother, and he acted swiftly. People can't see the clue, but I know he is sad, otherwise he would not leave the special brigade and be automatically transferred here to stay with her for so long."
Gu Huaining sighed, "It's like stepping into the prisoner's dilemma. Everyone else is freed and released after serving his sentence. He is the only one who will face a longer period of inner imprisonment. I don't know when the knot will be untied."
Liang He was a little astonished.She couldn't imagine that a man with such a gentle smile would imprison herself for so long. If there was anything wrong with him, he might just want an ordinary happiness.Now she can only hope that such self-torture will not be a lifetime, because he has too many reasons to be happy.
"Is it because of this that you also stay here?"
As a person, he must feel guilty about this situation.After all, Lin Ke liked him so much.
Gu Huaining smiled bitterly: "I'm not that great."
It's just that this act of redemption can make him feel better. After all, he just wants peace of mind.
Liang He suddenly felt uncomfortable after hearing this.
Such a woman made two men feel guilty at the same time.Is such obsessed and unrepentant love worth it? "I understand." Liang He said, "That's why you stayed in City B."
No wonder the old man and the old lady refused to go home after persuading him so many times. No wonder they didn't feel uncomfortable hearing such a reason.
"Do you think I'm quite useless and it takes so long?" Gu Huaining looked at her with obvious self-mockery.
Liang He shook his head silently: "I understand."
In her opinion, he is really an invincible person, so when she saw his fragile side today, she felt uncontrollably distressed.
Gu Huaining, when can I share all of this for you?
