Your promise, my sea
Chapter 15
Chapter 15
Two months later, the military exercise is imminent.
Shen Mengchuan, acting division commander of Division D, feels a lot of pressure recently. He already has a reorganized knife hanging on his head because of the reorganization of the army. In addition, the military region pays more attention to this military exercise without a plan. The entire division understands this military exercise. This is their critical juncture. If they fail to pass this test smoothly, the consequences will be disastrous.
Before the official exercise, Division D held an oath meeting.
Shen Mengchuan stood on the stage wearing a field uniform, his usual meaningless expression was put away, and he became serious and stern.After the meeting, he quickly walked to the office, and saw Political Commissar Zhao walking towards him from a long distance.
He straightened his hat and asked, "How is it?"
"The guidance and adjustment center just called and said that the commander of the military region will come to inspect the exercise, and there will also be an observation group composed of the military region and the Army Command Academy to observe and emulate."
Shen Mengchuan frowned, and answered absent-mindedly: "Yes, I see."
Political Commissar Zhao and Shen Mengchuan are old acquaintances, and now they put away their official accent after talking about serious matters: "I said, I heard that your old enemy is also in the observation group."
"Who?" he asked casually.
"The Chief of Staff of Division A, Gu Huaiyue."
Shen Mengchuan stopped immediately, and his face became extremely depressed.
Division D is on the alert, but Division A is ushering in another peaceful morning. The commander of Division A, Liu Xiangdong, is following the strict training requirements for soldiers when they are fighting in peacetime.Not long after the reveille sounded, military cards drove out of the camp area, carrying a car full of soldiers to the training ground.As soon as Gu Huaiyue walked into the office, he was stopped by the correspondent Xiao Ma: "Chief of Staff, Secretary Liang of the Military Region called you just now."
"Is something wrong?"
"Secretary Liang didn't say anything. I'll call you later."
Gu Huaiyue pursed his lips and connected Secretary Liang's call.Secretary Liang on the other end of the phone told him that Commander Xi asked him to report to the military region in three days and go with him to observe the exercise.
"Isn't it none of our business?"
"This is an order from Commander Xi." Secretary Liang smiled and hung up the phone.
There was no other way, Gu Huaiyue had no choice but to obey the order.
This exercise was conducted at a large contract tactical training base near City B. The choice of this location is very favorable for the Blue Army, because it only needs to advance more than 280 kilometers from the Blue Army camp to reach the base, while Division D needs to advance almost 500 kilometers.
When Gu Huaiyue entered the director's hall, Commander Xi was already present. When he saw Gu Huaiyue, he waved to him, and he sat down next to Commander Xi.After taking his seat, he and Commander Chief stared at the battlefield situation map on the giant screen wall, from which it could be seen that the troops with Division D as the main body were still on their way to the base.There were many obstacles along the way. The blue army sent several fighter planes to launch the first wave of air strikes against the red army on the way. The red army commander immediately organized a counterattack.However, this wave of aerial firepower has not been suppressed. The Blue Army sent batch after batch of planes to bomb and straf, and one of the Red Army's self-propelled artillery battalions was scrapped.
The director's department ruled that the attack was valid, and the Red Army commander Shen Mengchuan was so angry that he cursed.
Xi Shaofeng changed into a rather relaxed posture: "This kid is still losing, and he has battle damage at the door of his house."
Gu Huaiyue answered: "Don't worry, he doesn't dare to lose, he has nothing to lose, let alone afford to lose."
Xi Shaofeng gave him a meaningful look: "Do you know why I called you here?"
"Look at the excitement." Gu Huaiyue smiled, "I heard that the two armies facing each other this time are of equal strength, and they will face off against each other, so there will naturally be some excitement and fun."
This kid, Xi Shaofeng snorted: "He is courageous, decisive and brave. He who dares to fight against a strong enemy is a fierce general. This kid is fierce. He is still not good in strategy. He needs to be trained."
Along the way, the Red Army encountered obstacles and firepower points laid out in advance by the Blue Army one after another, and the Red Army naturally learned how to do it. It opened the reconnaissance network and began to counterattack, suppressing the Red Army's ground firepower.
"It seems that the Blue Army really seized this opportunity well. I don't know how this kid Shen Mengchuan came to turn things around."
Gu Huaiyue smiled slightly: "If the opponent has a strong fortified base, then the advantage obtained on this surface is not decisive. Wait and see, Shen Mengchuan will not let it go."
Xi Shaofeng glanced at him again, and decided not to discuss this issue with this person who has read too much war history for the time being.He turned his head away, and after a while, a medicine bottle was handed over.
Xi Shaofeng's first reaction was to frown and look at the person who handed the bottle - Gu Huaiyue.
Gu Huaiyue immediately expressed his attitude: "I came from the military area. I met Aunt Zhong. She asked me to bring it to you, reminding you not to forget to take your medicine."
Xi Shaofeng frowned and accepted it.
Gu Huaiyue exhaled: "The task is completed, and I will go back."
"how?"
"Wife and children come to visit relatives, I will pick them up."
Looking at his back, Xi Shaofeng shook his head and smiled.
Gu Huaiyue drove towards the division headquarters at high speed in a military jeep.
What he said to Xi Shaofeng was really not an excuse, Gu Jiaming had a small vacation, and Yan Zhen had a few days of leisure because of the favor of this group of children.Once the two of them got together, they flew directly to City B by plane.It's just that it's too late for him to pick him up at the airport, so he had to let Xiao Ma pick him up.
It is now May, two months have passed since he last went home, and the weather is gradually getting hotter. It won't be long before the troops can change into summer uniforms.Gu Huaiyue parked the car downstairs and didn't rush in, but stood where he was and looked up.
Not surprisingly, the lights in the house were on.He smiled and strode upstairs.
The door of the house was wide open, a small suitcase was spread out in the middle of the living room, and a certain kid was lying in front of the suitcase and picking up his toys from inside. This little guy never forgot his weapon no matter where he went.Finally he pulled out a gun, looked up happily, saw him, and was stunned.
Gu Huaiyue stood outside the door and raised his eyebrows at him. The kid blinked, got up and quickly ran to the door: "It's over, the defense failed, the enemy has already hit the door!"
Gu Huaiyue smiled slightly, picked up the collar of his back coat, and while educating him, he found that the little guy was getting serious again: "You have grown courage, and even turned against you."
The little guy yelled a few times, not daring to mess around with the chief, hugged his neck and kissed him to please him.
This movement alarmed Yan Zhen, who was busy in the kitchen, she poked her head out slightly, glanced at the two people who were making a fuss, and then retracted her body silently.
Gu Huaiyue, chief of staff, and Gu Jiaming looked at each other, and Gu Jiaming whispered, "Mr. Yan is still angry with you."
Gu Huai raised his eyebrows, put down the children and walked towards the kitchen.
Soup was simmering on the stove in the kitchen, and the pre-bought vegetables were washed and placed on the counter, just waiting to be cooked.He stood at the entrance of the kitchen, staring at the slender figure who was busy under the dim light, and suddenly found that as long as this woman came, his model house would have a warm feeling called home, which could be tried and tested.
"Yan Zhen."
He called her, and Yan Zhen responded lightly, and continued with the work at hand.
"I'm here to help." As he said, he took off his uniform coat and was about to come to help.
"No need." Yan Zhen quickly stopped him, "It will be fine soon, you have worked all day, go and have a rest."
"It's okay." He smiled.
Yan Zhen pretended to be angry, and pushed him out: "I told you to rest, so go and rest!"
Sure enough, still a little angry?Gu Huaiyue had no choice but to hold her hand: "My wife."
There is a reason for Yan Zhen to be angry. The last time Gu Huaiyue and Deputy Commander Qiao went back to City C to visit the father of the political commissar Gao in the General Hospital of the Military Region, they were supposed to leave the next day, but they were entangled by children that day. It was postponed for another day, and I left on the third day.
Yan really wanted to get up early to watch him go, but this man got up in the morning and left secretly. She slept too deeply and didn't wake up.She didn't wake up until she felt the coolness around her.Looking at the empty side of the bed, I feel lost.
Although her tone was normal every time she made a phone call, when she saw him, the grievance of being alone came back again.Yan Zhen tried hard to take his hand away, but he held it tightly, so Yan Zhen could only stare at him: "I still have to cook!"
"Don't be angry anymore, huh?" He looked down at her with a slightly coaxing voice.
Yan Zhen took a breath, ignoring the bitterness that just came up: "I don't want to be angry with you! Waste of time!" They didn't have a few days.
Gu Huaiyue smiled, patted her bangs and said, "It's good, the ideological consciousness is quite high."
After finishing speaking, Yan Zhen glared at him again, but he really couldn't get angry anymore.They really don't have much time, and she would be reluctant to use it for arguing.
In fact, the army also had a few days off in early May, but Gu Huaiyue went to the division building early the next morning as usual, because there was still some work to be done, and he wanted to use this day to finish it as soon as possible and spare time to rest short vacation.
Old Liu fell ill and was hospitalized a while ago. Commissar Gao went home to take care of his father. He was responsible for many things. Chief of Staff Gu hadn’t had a good rest for a long time, so Liu Xiangdong didn’t say anything and put him on duty this time. Gu Huaiyue had no choice but to accept it graciously, and told Yan Zhen and the children about the vacation before leaving in the morning.The children were very happy when they heard that they finished breakfast quickly without Yan Zhen's urging, and obediently helped Yan Zhen wash the dishes.Yan Zhen looked at the little guy in amazement, watching his chubby hands covered in bubbles scrubbing in the pool, and let him look at himself happily.
Just as the doorbell rang, Yan Zhen went out to open the door.It was a middle-aged man in military uniform who knocked on the door.Yan Zhen felt very familiar at first glance, but after thinking for a while, he remembered the man's name——Jiang Songnian?
Jiang Songnian was feeling a little embarrassed by her, so he couldn't help being overjoyed to see her say his name at this moment.Yan Zhen was also very happy to see him, she hurriedly bowed and let Jiang Songnian into the room.He carried some special products in his hand, and Yan Zhen felt a little embarrassed when he saw it: "Why do you still bring something?"
Jiang Songnian smiled, with a trace of embarrassment on his dark skin: "It's the first time I've come to the chief of staff's house, so I don't have anything to give away. This is a specialty from my hometown. I'll bring it here for you to try."
Yan Zhen quickly gave up his seat for him, and after Jiang Songnian sat down, he looked around uncomfortably.His wife and children are also in City B, but they live in a family compound built by the troops in City B on the outskirts of the city a few years ago. After the place was full, a small building was built behind the division's reconnaissance camp.His gaze fell on a cup of steaming tea in front of him, and he said, "It's a holiday, and the chief of staff isn't home?"
"He said he would rest tomorrow."
"Oh." Jiang Songnian nodded, "I think this house is still a little empty, haven't you moved in yet?"
Yan Zhen brushed his hair: "Don't worry, the family members of Deputy Battalion Commander Jiang have come with you?"
Jiang Songnian smiled and said, "Well, I've been here for several years, my daughter is in her second year of high school, and my wife also has a job in the city."
Hearing this, Yan Zhen was a little envious: "That's pretty good."
Jiang Songnian sighed: "Actually, it's nothing. This wife and child have finally been settled in City B, and I'm going to change jobs and leave."
Yan Zhen was a little surprised when he heard this: "This year?"
"Yeah." Jiang Songnian nodded, "It's been almost 20 years, and there is no technology or culture, so the army is no longer there." It is common for soldiers with hard-working camps to be demobilized and change jobs.Moreover, the army is also in a period of transformation. An informationized army needs more talents.
After being silent for a while, Yan Zhen asked, "Then, what are your plans after changing jobs?"
This question is a bit heavy, Jiang Songnian shook his hands on his knees: "There are special arrangements for the work of cadres who have been transferred from the military. I am not very worried about this. It is my wife and daughter..." As he said, he raised his head At the beginning, there was some hesitation in his eyes.After all, he is stupid and can't go around in circles: "Actually, I came to the chief of staff today just to talk about this matter."
Yan Zhen snorted and listened carefully to him.
"My daughter is currently a sophomore in a high school in the city, but she is not registered in city B, and she has to go back to her hometown when she takes the college entrance examination. My hometown's education level is not as good as that of city B. In a big city, all resources are convenient, so I think Let her study here until before the college entrance examination and then go back. It’s just that once I change jobs, the army’s house will not be able to live in, and I have to rent another house in the city, which is a lot of money. So, I want to find a staff Tell me a little bit about the house."
When Yan Zhen heard this, his expression froze.After a long time, she found her voice: "What's the problem with the house?"
Jiang Songnian said with some hesitation: "I seldom ask the army, and this time it is a last resort. I want to talk to the chief of staff to see if the house can be handed over later?" Seeing that Yan Zhen was silent, he quickly said: " If it's really troublesome, forget it, in fact, I was a little hesitant before coming here, afraid of giving the leader..."
"It's okay." Yan Zhen interrupted him, "I'll talk to Huai Yue about this matter, and try to help as much as I can."
Jiang Songnian said pleasantly, "Thank you so much."
Yan Zhen smiled slightly and said, "It's okay."
After a thousand thanks, Jiang Songnian left.After seeing him off, Yan Zhen sat on the sofa in a daze.Sitting and sitting only felt that his hands were cold, so he hurriedly poured a glass of water and held it in his hands.Slowly, the body temperature went up, and the mind stabilized.The children are still playing in the water, and they never get tired of it.Suddenly a cracking sound came from the kitchen, Yan Zhen was startled, put down the water glass and hurriedly looked at him.
One of the porcelain flower bowls was scrapped by the little guy. Yan Zhen looked at the kid's hand and felt relieved when he saw that it was not injured.She looked up at the kid standing against the wall: "Stop playing in the water, go to the room and do your homework!"
The kid pouted and went out reluctantly.Yan Zhen stood in the kitchen, looking at the mess, and suddenly felt tired from the bottom of his heart.
Today's work ended very early, and Gu Huaiyue returned home before six o'clock.
As soon as I entered the house, I found that the house was extremely deserted.Yan Zhen was nowhere to be seen, only the kid was tossing his gun listlessly.
Gu Huai walked over and tapped his little head: "What's wrong?"
The child hugged his leg: "Mr. Yan is angry with me and ignored me all afternoon."
This is a bit strange, he plucked the little guy's hair: "What bad things have you done again?"
"I broke a bowl." The kid muttered softly, looking at him pitifully, "Is this bad thing serious?"
Gu Huaiyue pondered for a while, then rubbed the kid's head: "I'll go and have a look first."
The light in the bedroom was dimmed, and Yan Zhen was lying on the bed, sleeping with the quilt covering his head.Gu Huaiyue stood at the door for a while before closing the door and walking lightly towards the bed.
The person on the bed was breathing very evenly, Gu Huaiyue looked at the quilt kicked away by her, and bent down to tuck the corners of the quilt for her.His movements were very light, but he didn't want to startle her.Yan Zhen opened his eyes, woke up leisurely, and saw Gu Huaiyue sitting on the bedside.
"Are you back?" she said vaguely, "What time is it?"
"It's past six o'clock."
Six o'clock, after six o'clock?Yan Zhen got up in a hurry, but she actually slept all afternoon? !
Gu Huaiyue supported her: "Lie down for a while when you're tired, I'll make dinner."
"Not tired." She whispered, because her voice was sticky just after waking up, and it was a little more cute than usual.Yan Zhen shook his head and looked at Gu Huaiyue: "By the way, Jiang Songnian, Deputy Battalion Commander Jiang is here today."
"Oh? Is he busy?"
"Isn't he about to change jobs, but his daughter is still studying here."
Gu Huaiyue remembered: "Lao Jiang should leave this year, is it about the house?"
"Ah."
"It's not a big deal. It doesn't mean that the house will be taken back as soon as the person leaves. The army will give him a transition period of one or two years. I will call Lao Jiang later to let Jiang not worry, and say hello to the barracks department. "
After Yan Zhen heard this, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief: "So easy to solve?"
Gu Huaiyue smiled: "Although the troops are strictly managed, they are not inhumane. They are all comrades-in-arms, so we can't let them feel that they are out of touch."
Hearing this, Yan Zhen fell silent.After a while, she opened her mouth in a low voice: "Huaiyue, have I told you about my father?"
Gu Huaiyue was startled, looked at her and shook his head.
Yan Zhen sat on the bed, curled up his legs and said in a muffled voice: "My father was a soldier in [-], and he changed his job when I was nine years old. It's strange, I have forgotten many things before, but on this day I remember it very clearly."
That day my father found a car and brought back all his personal belongings in the army.Not much, just some books and a backpack, and the shoulder straps that were removed.She stood there, wondering what happened to her father.
Her father has always been kind to her, even at this moment, he just smiled and touched her forehead: "Ninny, Dad will not be a soldier in the future, will you go back to your hometown with Dad?"
She nodded ignorantly, pointed to the things her father brought back and asked why there were only so few things, and his father only answered her with a warm smile.
A real soldier has to learn to face the reality of society when he leaves the army, but usually they will not ask the army for anything.Because the army trained them to be real men, making them brave to face everything.Her father was such a person.
"During that time, my father went home to work, but the house hadn't been settled yet, so my grandma accompanied me to live in the army's house. Until one day, someone from the barracks department came to tell us that the house would be collected within a three-day deadline. But at that time Father was still at home waiting for work news, so he couldn't come directly, so he contacted the section chief of the barracks section, and even the deputy brigade commander in charge of this matter. But they told father that this was an order from the whole brigade, and it had to be handed over within three days House. In fact, this is not the first time that we have been urged to hand over the house. Before that, our water and electricity were cut off. Later, it was my father who found someone to let us live for a few months. My father paid some money just in case. Electricity bills. But it didn’t work that time, and the section chief said that even if the utility bills are refunded in full, we have to leave.”
Speaking of this, Yan Zhen's eyelashes trembled slightly, Gu Huaiyue seemed to have expected something, and immediately held her cold hand.
"I called my father. I was so scared that I cried on the phone. My father comforted me and said that it was okay. He would come over soon and got on the train. But, when my grandma and I were packing our luggage, I received a call from the hospital. The phone call said that my father had suffered a myocardial infarction and died when he was parked and sent to the hospital.”
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but began to tremble in his clenched hand: "I never knew he was sick, and I never believed that the person I respect the most would pass away in this way. After he passed away, he died a long time ago. It’s hard for me to accept that fact.”
The voice became tighter and tighter, Yan Zhen lowered his head, almost speechless.Gu Huaiyue could only sigh, hugged her into his arms, and gently patted her on the back to comfort her.
He loves the army, and he also admires those who are willing to shed blood and sweat on this hot land, but he also knows that one cannot become a real soldier by putting on a military uniform.
"My father must have been in great pain when he changed jobs. The thing I regret most now is that when my father left the army, I never gave him any comfort. After he died, I only hated there. I hated the man he used to be. The place I love, I think my father must be very disappointed in me."
He never knew that she buried her pain so deeply. If it wasn't for Jiang Songnian's incident, she would never have confide it to him.Just thinking about it makes him feel distressed: "No, he will understand you. Besides, isn't it much better now? We don't want to."
He coaxed her slowly, Yan Zhen also calmed down slowly.
In fact, she thought about staying away from these people in military uniforms for the rest of her life, because when she saw them, she couldn't help but think of her father.For them, she couldn't love but also couldn't hate them, so she chose to stay away.But it so happened that she married such a man again. She even envied Jiang Songnian. When he was lonely and helpless, he could meet someone who helped him like this. Gu Huaiyue made her feel warm: "Huaiyue."
"Ok?"
"Thank you." Thank him for letting her finally let go.
Gu Huaiyue smiled. As a man and a husband, his duty is to make his woman feel comfortable and happy.What he did was nothing more than that simple, what is there to thank him for?Thinking about it, he hugged her tightly and put a kiss on her cheek: "Fool."
On the third day of the holiday, Gu Huaiyue finally had time to hang out with Jia Ming and Yan Zhen.
Before going out, he deliberately changed into casual clothes, and Yan Zhen rarely saw him in casual clothes.In fact, it is almost the same as the military uniform, except that the breath around the body is much softer.
The kid was also very excited, sitting on the passenger seat with piercing eyes: "Dad, where are we going?"
Gu Huaiyue flicked the kid's head: "Where do you want to go? Today I am mainly responsible for driving forward, and the specific direction is up to you to decide."
It can be seen that he is in a good mood.
The child was happy, but was bound by the seat belt, so he could only turn his head and look at Yan Zhen: "Mr. Yan, where are we going to play?"
Yan Zhen smiled at him: "Isn't it up to you to decide? You can go wherever you say."
Little Gu started to think, and slowly, the little boy started to frown, and finally he had a bun face. This question was hard for him.Gu Huaiyue glanced at him with a smirk, looked up and happened to see the giant poster hanging outside the movie theater, and said, "Would you like to watch a movie?"
The kid stretched his head, saw that it was the type he liked, and nodded happily.
The movie theater is on the [-]th floor of the shopping mall. Chief of Staff Gu queued up to buy tickets. Yan Zhen and the children were waiting outside. The children were already eating popcorn happily.Yan Zhen sat there but was lost in thought, if he ignores the little guy beside him, they, is this a date?
Thinking about it, Yan Zhen smiled.Everyone else is dating, falling in love, and getting married, but they are the other way around.However, different routes lead to the same goal.
"Teacher Yan, I want to drink Coke!" The child bluffed.
Yan Zhen rolled his eyelids angrily, with this little guy around, no matter how good the atmosphere was, it would be ruined.
Gu Huaiyue came over and handed the ticket to Yan Zhen, and shook her hand by the way.It's a bit cold today, Gu Huaiyue held her hand and frowned: "Why are your hands so cold?"
Yan Zhen blinked his eyes, and his originally quiet eyes revealed a bit of cunning: "Have you heard a word? No one hurts people with cold hands."
Gu Huaiyue was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was joking, and couldn't help but squeeze her hand hard, as if trying to warm her up.
The movie started on time, and the children watched happily, but Yan Zhen felt faintly sleepy.Gu Huaiyue also watched very intently, until he felt a heavy feeling on his shoulders before realizing that someone had fallen asleep.With a smile on his lips, he adjusted his sitting position slightly to make her sleep more comfortably.
Since he was in the army, he could count such appointments on one hand. He didn't know if there was a standard template to refer to, but it felt good like this now.Just as his thoughts were drifting away, the phone in his pocket buzzed. Gu Huaiyue looked at the number, hesitated for a moment, and pressed the answer button.
The voice on the other end of the phone was a bit rushed, and he couldn't hear it clearly. When he was about to get up and walk out, he thought of Yan Zhen who was asleep. When he turned his head to look, she had already opened her eyes.
Yan Zhen saw that he was holding the phone and knew something was up: "Go and answer it."
Gu Huaiyue pulled out an almost imperceptible smile, and walked out.
It was Xiao Ma, the correspondent, who said that Colonel Zhao, the deputy director of the exercise director department, called him just now, saying that Commander Xi was overworked and admitted to the hospital, and now he wants to see Gu Huaiyue in the hospital.
Gu Huaiyue said that he knew and hung up the phone, his brows that were originally relaxed were slightly frowned at this moment.At this time when the movie was over and the crowd was going out, he looked up and saw Yan Zhen and Gu Jiaming.
Seeing his solemn expression, Yan Zhen couldn't help asking: "What happened?"
He helped her by the shoulder, looked at the child, then at her, and said, "Uncle Xi is in the hospital."
Yan Zhen was a little nervous immediately: "Is it serious?"
Gu Huaiyue shook his head: "It's said that the situation is under control. Uncle Xi is keeping a close eye on the army's drills these days, and he must have exhausted his energy."
"Then shall we go see him now?"
"Don't go today, Uncle Xi just woke up, and I can't see so many people here, I will send you home first, and then go to the hospital to see Uncle Xi."
It had to be like this.Yan Zhen nodded in agreement.
Xi Shaofeng is not a person who has experienced many battles. He was still young when the Eighteenth Army entered Tibet half a century ago and planted the five-star red flag on the roof of the world. Has been liberated and peace building has begun.At that time, the designation of the [-]th Army had already been revoked, and Xi Shaofeng was serving as a soldier in a regiment of the original [-]th Army.According to him, the bones of this soldier who served on the plateau were three points harder than other soldiers, but now he was made to lie on the bed, or because he was sick, he was very unhappy.
He took the medicine with the water Zhong Liying handed over, and looked at Gu Huaiyue who was standing straight in front of him: "I asked you to come here, do you have any objections?"
"Report to the commander, no."
No wonder!He glared at him, and just the way he poked there motionless showed that he had a problem!Gu Huaiyue relaxed in time to relieve the pressure of Commander Xi looking up at him.
Xi Shaofeng raised his hand, and said with some difficulty: "Whether you have any objections or not, you can go to the exercise base now."
After saying that, Zhong Liying objected a little: "Yan Zhen is still here, so don't bother them both."
Xi Shaofeng smiled, raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Huaiyue, but Gu Huaiyue was silent for a few seconds, stood at attention and saluted: "Obey the order."
Although the slogan was shouted loudly, when there was only one person left, Gu Huaiyue could only smile wryly, and he called Yan Zhen to inform her of his whereabouts.She listened quietly on the other end, and waited for him to finish speaking before saying softly: "Go, be careful on the road, we will wait for you at home."
"Ah."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Huaiyue firmly held the steering wheel, took a deep breath, and drove towards the exercise base.The three-hour drive was abruptly shortened by nearly half an hour.After jumping out of the car, Gu Huai strode towards the director's hall.Commander Xi entered the hospital, and now Deputy Commander Lu is sitting here, frowning slightly at the giant screen. Gu Huaiyue sits next to Deputy Director Zhao: "How is the situation now?"
Assistant Director Zhao shook his head: "It's not very optimistic for Division D. The Blue Army used electronic countermeasures to increase electromagnetic suppression against the Red Army, and released a virus that interrupted his communication. Now the commander of the Red Army, Shen Mengchuan, is probably in a hurry. He told him The soldiers have been out of contact for five hours." Deputy Director Zhao took stock of the situation, turned his head and asked Gu Huaiyue, "Tell me, will this division D become a mess?"
"No." Gu Huaiyue replied quickly, "Shen Mengchuan is a master of detoxification, and he is also good at fighting unprepared battles."
Indeed, judging from the picture, although his troops were broken into pieces, and some of them were even disrupted, individual combat ability has always been the focus of Shen Mengchuan's training.
While carrying out anti-interference and counter-suppression, the Red Army re-adjusted its deployment and successfully forced the Blue Army to retreat to the front line of Hill No. [-].However, before Shen Mengchuan had time to be proud, the blue army came out from the left and right flanks with a tank battalion and a self-propelled artillery battalion to form a pincer attack on the red army. The red army was forced to start building a line of defense to snipe the enemy.
Gu Huaiyue sighed, "He's still in a hurry."
Deputy Commander Lu heard it and turned to look at him: "Continue."
Gu Huaiyue had no choice but to continue: "Even if we drive them to the riverside, we may not be able to eat them all. There are people in the blue army, and they only need to sacrifice a small amount of troops to build a pontoon bridge."
Deputy Commander Lu smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Go, go to Division D to have a look."
When they arrived at Division D, Hill No. [-] had been captured by the Blue Army, which indicated that the Red Army ended in failure in the first stage of the exercise. When Gu Huaiyue followed Deputy Commander Lu into the tent, Shen Mengchuan was leaning over to look at the sand table and saw Lu The deputy commander immediately stood up and saluted.
Deputy Commander Lu asked with a smile: "Mr. Shen, do you have a plan for how to conduct this exercise?"
Shen Mengchuan stood up straight, comparable to Gu Huaiyue's military posture in Xi Shaofeng's ward: "Yes!"
"That's fine."
Deputy Commander Lu nodded and walked towards his sand table.
Shen Mengchuan took the opportunity to walk towards Gu Huaiyue, looked at his spotless regular military uniform from top to bottom, then looked down at his combat uniform after fumbling in the battlefield, and said, "If you don't mind, how about a handshake? "
Chief of Staff Gu faced Shen Mengchuan's difficulties calmly and calmly, and he stretched out his hand: "Do you have time later?"
"Yes." Shen Mengchuan scratched his hair, "The first stage of the exercise failed, and the higher-ups gave me some rest time. What's the matter?"
Gu Huaiyue had to admit that this man surnamed Shen always had a way to make his troops look like motley crews, and he was not like a teacher, but more like a gangster: "Commander Xi is hospitalized, but he is very concerned about the drill, you If you have time, go to the hospital to see him, and report the situation by the way."
Shen Mengchuan seemed to be choking, and cursed in a low voice: "I'm going to report this, do you still want Lao Xi to be discharged from the hospital?"
That being said, three hours later, two similar Cheetah vehicles stopped at the inpatient department of the hospital.
Gu Huaiyue and Shen Mengchuan got out of the car one after the other, and walked in a double formation, with the same pace.Shen Mengchuan wanted to break this consensus from the bottom of his heart, but he would not leave if he changed, so he had no choice but to continue to maintain the formation and move forward quickly.
Gu Huaiyue walked very calmly until he reached the door, because he heard laughter coming from inside.
"Who's inside?" Shen Mengchuan asked.
Gu Huaiyue glanced at him and said, "My wife and my son."
Speaking of pushing the door and entering, Shen Mengchuan was taken aback when he heard this, but after a while he realized who it was, he patted his hair, and followed him in.
In the ward, Yan Zhen was sitting on the sofa with Zhong Liying, while Xi Shaofeng, who was lying on the bed, was amused by the children around the bed.Hearing the sound of the door, he put down the newspaper in his hand, rubbed the child's head, and looked at the person coming.
Gu Huaiyue and Shen Mengchuan stood upright and saluted, and Xi Shaofeng waved his hands.It was already eight o'clock in the evening, he didn't expect to see Shen Mengchuan at this moment, and he had a rough estimate of the situation of the exercise in his heart.
Knowing that they were going to talk about something, Yan Zhen pulled the child and followed Zhong Liying to the outside room, Gu Huaiyue called her back: "It's so late, I'll ask someone to take you back."
Yan Zhen shook his head: "Don't worry, I will accompany Aunt Zhong."
Gu Huaiyue looked at Zhong Liying's back leading the children walking outside, and nodded.
Yan Zhen smiled at him, and when he looked away, he saw Shen Mengchuan.He had just come off the training ground, and the camouflage on his face hadn't been washed off.Seeing her at this moment, he froze for a moment and immediately pulled out a simple and honest smile.
Yan Zhen returned a faint smile, and then walked out.
She came here in the car of the division commander Liu Xiangdong. When she came, Commander Xi happened to fall asleep, while Zhong Liying sat outside, secretly wiping tears, and hurriedly wiped her tears when she saw her passing by.Yan Zhen didn't know what to say, Zhong Liying was an old military wife, and even spent those years in Tibet with Xi Shaofeng, there were probably not many things that could make her cry now.
Just now in the ward, Yan Zhen couldn't talk about Xi Shaofeng's condition in front of him, now that the door was closed, she asked, "Aunt Zhong, is Uncle Xi's illness serious?"
It’s okay if you don’t ask, but Zhong Liying’s stable mood fluctuated again when she asked, she shook her head, her eyes were slightly red: “This old guy is stubborn, if he doesn’t go to the hospital once, he won’t know the importance of good health. I think He will suffer this sooner or later."
A while ago, Xi Shaofeng had an operation for the cancer cells on the liver. After the operation, the doctor asked him to insist on medication for a period of time. Zhong Liying also followed behind and instructed. Xi Shaofeng promised well every time, but it is easy to forget when he is busy.
Yan Zhen handed her a tissue to calm her down.
Zhong Liying calmed down for a while, looked at her and smiled: "I'll show you a joke."
Yan Zhen shook his head, sat down next to her, looked at the kid who was playing with guns not far away, and smiled lightly: "Uncle Xi is very happy to have you here."
Zhong Liying snorted: "He doesn't care about me. When I was young, I was doing exercises once. When I was guiding the target too close, I was hit by shrapnel in the leg and lower abdomen. When I was sent to the hospital, I was covered in blood. I was so frightened. Crying, but do you know what he said when he woke up?" Zhong Liying put on airs and imitated Xi Shaofeng's tone: "Why did you send me to the hospital? The sacrifice must be on the battlefield!"
After speaking, she laughed first, with wet tears in her eyes.
Yan Zhen quietly held her hand: "Actually, he lied to you."
Because, there is a kind of hero grave in this world, called Wenrou Township.
After chatting for a while, Zhong Liying's mood had recovered. Just as the door inside opened, Gu Huaiyue and Shen Mengchuan walked out. Yan Zhen quickly got up and asked, "How is Uncle Xi?"
"Uncle Xi is a bit tired, so let's rest first." He said, looking at Zhong Liying, "Aunt Zhong, Uncle Xi told me to take you back. It's so late, you should also rest."
Zhong Liying shook her head: "Xiaoxiao will come over later, I'll wait for her here." Xi Xiao is a daughter adopted by Xi Shaofeng and Zhong Liying. She was studying abroad and heard that her father was admitted to the hospital just after returning home. At this moment On the way to the hospital.
Gu Huaiyue didn't force her anymore: "Then let's go first and come to see Uncle Xi some other day."
Zhong Liying nodded, told them to drive carefully, and watched the group of people leave.
Shen Mengchuan walked out of the ward with them, and the kid obviously still remembered Shen Mengchuan's crow's mouth, so he turned his head and gave him a special look.
Shen Mengchuan, who was scratching his hair, was depressed, and stared back: "I said, the little guy raised by your family is not bad, he knows that he is unanimous to the outside world at such a young age."
Yan Zhen glanced at him, and restrained the kid from messing around.Gu Huaiyue glanced at his wife and son, and after taking him under his wing, he said, "Should we go back to the exercise base to rest, or..."
"You don't need to worry about that." He took off his hat, his eyes scattered elsewhere, "You are under a lot of weight, can you sleep?"
Gu Huaiyue smiled lightly: "I can only empathize with you, it's a bit regrettable."
Shen Mengchuan gritted his teeth a bit, turned his head, and looked at Yan Zhen with a complicated expression, but her reaction was unexpectedly calm, she just nodded at him and smiled slightly.
Friendlier than ever.
Shen Mengchuan is not stupid, he knows that under certain circumstances, friendship is another kind of alienation.Suddenly the brim of the hat was pulled over, Shen Mengchuan was forced to turn his head and glared at Gu Huaiyue.
"Then I'll go first, my son is sleepy."
Where is he sleepy, two big eyes are staring at him!Shen Mengchuan complained a lot in his heart, but there was a smile on his face: "Yes, my wife and children are hot on the kang, so of course it's like an arrow to return."
As if he didn't understand the sarcasm in his words, Chief of Staff Gu smiled lightly: "Then I wish Master Shen that he can find a gentle place as soon as possible. Go ahead."
Shen Mengchuan let out a "lean", looked at the backs of the three leaving, wiped his face, and cursed softly: "So blind."
It was late when I got home, so I took a quick shower and went to bed.
Yan Zhen is also quite tired today, but it is difficult to sleep in bed.She suddenly felt that she was a little too much towards Shen Mengchuan.He didn't do anything wrong, even if he did, he apologized, but he seemed a bit stingy.
She sighed, and was hugged by someone from behind: "What's wrong?"
With a warm embrace, she couldn't help approaching: "It's okay."
He kissed her forehead: "rest early."
She hummed, but after thinking about it, she turned around and said, "Huaiyue, isn't it bad for us to treat Shen Mengchuan like that in the hospital just now?"
Gu Huaiyue opened his eyes, looked at her eyes that were especially bright in the dark, and smiled: "It's okay, we are used to tit for tat, in his opinion, my sarcasm is more pleasing to the ear than sympathy."
Yan Zhen smiled sullenly, leaning against his chest, feeling his ups and downs and gentle heartbeat: "There is something I didn't tell you."
"What's the matter?" He asked in a low voice, stroking her long hair.
"Actually, Shen Mengchuan and I have known each other since we were young."
"Oh?" Gu Huaiyue raised his brows slightly, and hugged her hand firmly, "Be honest."
Yan Zhen glared at him: "It's not considered acquaintance, just met, but that time he bullied me enough, and I never saw him again." Later, we met again on the grassland. She didn't remember him, and she didn't think of him until later when he brought Shen Mengjiao and Jiang Yi to the division headquarters.
At that time, she really hated him, the new hatred added to the old hatred.But now that I think about it, I feel nothing.Maybe time is really the medicine to heal wounds.Thinking of this, she came back to her senses and saw Chief of Staff Gu staring at her ecstatically.
"What's wrong?" She touched her face subconsciously.
"It's okay." He said, and put her head in his arms, "fortunately."
Fortunately, fortunately what?How does this man speak?Yan Zhen was depressed and asked: "Fortunately what?"
The person above her head seemed to be asleep. After a while, when she gave up on getting the answer, she heard him say: "Fortunately, we are married."
Yan Zhen couldn't laugh or cry immediately, it turned out that this person had such naive moments.She pushed him and tried to turn around, but was blocked halfway.
"I'll tell you something."
"what's up?"
"The exercise is not over yet. I have to observe the exercise with Deputy Commander Lu for a few days. Therefore, the vacation has been cancelled." He said with some hesitation.
"I know." Yan Zhen replied sullenly. What annoys her the most about him is that he always calmly reminds her that it's time to say goodbye.
Gu Huaiyue knew it too, so he could only hug her and whisper, "I'm sorry."
Hearing him say sorry, Yan Zhen felt his heart being pulled, and felt a little pain.She grabbed his clothes tightly and buried her head in his arms, not daring to look at him.Because as long as she looked up, he could see the moisture in her eyes clearly.
"Don't say those two words in the future. I hate them."
He chuckled and said yes.
In fact, it's fine to just stay so quietly without saying anything.Instead of complaining about how little time belongs to them, it's better to enjoy every minute and every second together.
(End of this chapter)
Two months later, the military exercise is imminent.
Shen Mengchuan, acting division commander of Division D, feels a lot of pressure recently. He already has a reorganized knife hanging on his head because of the reorganization of the army. In addition, the military region pays more attention to this military exercise without a plan. The entire division understands this military exercise. This is their critical juncture. If they fail to pass this test smoothly, the consequences will be disastrous.
Before the official exercise, Division D held an oath meeting.
Shen Mengchuan stood on the stage wearing a field uniform, his usual meaningless expression was put away, and he became serious and stern.After the meeting, he quickly walked to the office, and saw Political Commissar Zhao walking towards him from a long distance.
He straightened his hat and asked, "How is it?"
"The guidance and adjustment center just called and said that the commander of the military region will come to inspect the exercise, and there will also be an observation group composed of the military region and the Army Command Academy to observe and emulate."
Shen Mengchuan frowned, and answered absent-mindedly: "Yes, I see."
Political Commissar Zhao and Shen Mengchuan are old acquaintances, and now they put away their official accent after talking about serious matters: "I said, I heard that your old enemy is also in the observation group."
"Who?" he asked casually.
"The Chief of Staff of Division A, Gu Huaiyue."
Shen Mengchuan stopped immediately, and his face became extremely depressed.
Division D is on the alert, but Division A is ushering in another peaceful morning. The commander of Division A, Liu Xiangdong, is following the strict training requirements for soldiers when they are fighting in peacetime.Not long after the reveille sounded, military cards drove out of the camp area, carrying a car full of soldiers to the training ground.As soon as Gu Huaiyue walked into the office, he was stopped by the correspondent Xiao Ma: "Chief of Staff, Secretary Liang of the Military Region called you just now."
"Is something wrong?"
"Secretary Liang didn't say anything. I'll call you later."
Gu Huaiyue pursed his lips and connected Secretary Liang's call.Secretary Liang on the other end of the phone told him that Commander Xi asked him to report to the military region in three days and go with him to observe the exercise.
"Isn't it none of our business?"
"This is an order from Commander Xi." Secretary Liang smiled and hung up the phone.
There was no other way, Gu Huaiyue had no choice but to obey the order.
This exercise was conducted at a large contract tactical training base near City B. The choice of this location is very favorable for the Blue Army, because it only needs to advance more than 280 kilometers from the Blue Army camp to reach the base, while Division D needs to advance almost 500 kilometers.
When Gu Huaiyue entered the director's hall, Commander Xi was already present. When he saw Gu Huaiyue, he waved to him, and he sat down next to Commander Xi.After taking his seat, he and Commander Chief stared at the battlefield situation map on the giant screen wall, from which it could be seen that the troops with Division D as the main body were still on their way to the base.There were many obstacles along the way. The blue army sent several fighter planes to launch the first wave of air strikes against the red army on the way. The red army commander immediately organized a counterattack.However, this wave of aerial firepower has not been suppressed. The Blue Army sent batch after batch of planes to bomb and straf, and one of the Red Army's self-propelled artillery battalions was scrapped.
The director's department ruled that the attack was valid, and the Red Army commander Shen Mengchuan was so angry that he cursed.
Xi Shaofeng changed into a rather relaxed posture: "This kid is still losing, and he has battle damage at the door of his house."
Gu Huaiyue answered: "Don't worry, he doesn't dare to lose, he has nothing to lose, let alone afford to lose."
Xi Shaofeng gave him a meaningful look: "Do you know why I called you here?"
"Look at the excitement." Gu Huaiyue smiled, "I heard that the two armies facing each other this time are of equal strength, and they will face off against each other, so there will naturally be some excitement and fun."
This kid, Xi Shaofeng snorted: "He is courageous, decisive and brave. He who dares to fight against a strong enemy is a fierce general. This kid is fierce. He is still not good in strategy. He needs to be trained."
Along the way, the Red Army encountered obstacles and firepower points laid out in advance by the Blue Army one after another, and the Red Army naturally learned how to do it. It opened the reconnaissance network and began to counterattack, suppressing the Red Army's ground firepower.
"It seems that the Blue Army really seized this opportunity well. I don't know how this kid Shen Mengchuan came to turn things around."
Gu Huaiyue smiled slightly: "If the opponent has a strong fortified base, then the advantage obtained on this surface is not decisive. Wait and see, Shen Mengchuan will not let it go."
Xi Shaofeng glanced at him again, and decided not to discuss this issue with this person who has read too much war history for the time being.He turned his head away, and after a while, a medicine bottle was handed over.
Xi Shaofeng's first reaction was to frown and look at the person who handed the bottle - Gu Huaiyue.
Gu Huaiyue immediately expressed his attitude: "I came from the military area. I met Aunt Zhong. She asked me to bring it to you, reminding you not to forget to take your medicine."
Xi Shaofeng frowned and accepted it.
Gu Huaiyue exhaled: "The task is completed, and I will go back."
"how?"
"Wife and children come to visit relatives, I will pick them up."
Looking at his back, Xi Shaofeng shook his head and smiled.
Gu Huaiyue drove towards the division headquarters at high speed in a military jeep.
What he said to Xi Shaofeng was really not an excuse, Gu Jiaming had a small vacation, and Yan Zhen had a few days of leisure because of the favor of this group of children.Once the two of them got together, they flew directly to City B by plane.It's just that it's too late for him to pick him up at the airport, so he had to let Xiao Ma pick him up.
It is now May, two months have passed since he last went home, and the weather is gradually getting hotter. It won't be long before the troops can change into summer uniforms.Gu Huaiyue parked the car downstairs and didn't rush in, but stood where he was and looked up.
Not surprisingly, the lights in the house were on.He smiled and strode upstairs.
The door of the house was wide open, a small suitcase was spread out in the middle of the living room, and a certain kid was lying in front of the suitcase and picking up his toys from inside. This little guy never forgot his weapon no matter where he went.Finally he pulled out a gun, looked up happily, saw him, and was stunned.
Gu Huaiyue stood outside the door and raised his eyebrows at him. The kid blinked, got up and quickly ran to the door: "It's over, the defense failed, the enemy has already hit the door!"
Gu Huaiyue smiled slightly, picked up the collar of his back coat, and while educating him, he found that the little guy was getting serious again: "You have grown courage, and even turned against you."
The little guy yelled a few times, not daring to mess around with the chief, hugged his neck and kissed him to please him.
This movement alarmed Yan Zhen, who was busy in the kitchen, she poked her head out slightly, glanced at the two people who were making a fuss, and then retracted her body silently.
Gu Huaiyue, chief of staff, and Gu Jiaming looked at each other, and Gu Jiaming whispered, "Mr. Yan is still angry with you."
Gu Huai raised his eyebrows, put down the children and walked towards the kitchen.
Soup was simmering on the stove in the kitchen, and the pre-bought vegetables were washed and placed on the counter, just waiting to be cooked.He stood at the entrance of the kitchen, staring at the slender figure who was busy under the dim light, and suddenly found that as long as this woman came, his model house would have a warm feeling called home, which could be tried and tested.
"Yan Zhen."
He called her, and Yan Zhen responded lightly, and continued with the work at hand.
"I'm here to help." As he said, he took off his uniform coat and was about to come to help.
"No need." Yan Zhen quickly stopped him, "It will be fine soon, you have worked all day, go and have a rest."
"It's okay." He smiled.
Yan Zhen pretended to be angry, and pushed him out: "I told you to rest, so go and rest!"
Sure enough, still a little angry?Gu Huaiyue had no choice but to hold her hand: "My wife."
There is a reason for Yan Zhen to be angry. The last time Gu Huaiyue and Deputy Commander Qiao went back to City C to visit the father of the political commissar Gao in the General Hospital of the Military Region, they were supposed to leave the next day, but they were entangled by children that day. It was postponed for another day, and I left on the third day.
Yan really wanted to get up early to watch him go, but this man got up in the morning and left secretly. She slept too deeply and didn't wake up.She didn't wake up until she felt the coolness around her.Looking at the empty side of the bed, I feel lost.
Although her tone was normal every time she made a phone call, when she saw him, the grievance of being alone came back again.Yan Zhen tried hard to take his hand away, but he held it tightly, so Yan Zhen could only stare at him: "I still have to cook!"
"Don't be angry anymore, huh?" He looked down at her with a slightly coaxing voice.
Yan Zhen took a breath, ignoring the bitterness that just came up: "I don't want to be angry with you! Waste of time!" They didn't have a few days.
Gu Huaiyue smiled, patted her bangs and said, "It's good, the ideological consciousness is quite high."
After finishing speaking, Yan Zhen glared at him again, but he really couldn't get angry anymore.They really don't have much time, and she would be reluctant to use it for arguing.
In fact, the army also had a few days off in early May, but Gu Huaiyue went to the division building early the next morning as usual, because there was still some work to be done, and he wanted to use this day to finish it as soon as possible and spare time to rest short vacation.
Old Liu fell ill and was hospitalized a while ago. Commissar Gao went home to take care of his father. He was responsible for many things. Chief of Staff Gu hadn’t had a good rest for a long time, so Liu Xiangdong didn’t say anything and put him on duty this time. Gu Huaiyue had no choice but to accept it graciously, and told Yan Zhen and the children about the vacation before leaving in the morning.The children were very happy when they heard that they finished breakfast quickly without Yan Zhen's urging, and obediently helped Yan Zhen wash the dishes.Yan Zhen looked at the little guy in amazement, watching his chubby hands covered in bubbles scrubbing in the pool, and let him look at himself happily.
Just as the doorbell rang, Yan Zhen went out to open the door.It was a middle-aged man in military uniform who knocked on the door.Yan Zhen felt very familiar at first glance, but after thinking for a while, he remembered the man's name——Jiang Songnian?
Jiang Songnian was feeling a little embarrassed by her, so he couldn't help being overjoyed to see her say his name at this moment.Yan Zhen was also very happy to see him, she hurriedly bowed and let Jiang Songnian into the room.He carried some special products in his hand, and Yan Zhen felt a little embarrassed when he saw it: "Why do you still bring something?"
Jiang Songnian smiled, with a trace of embarrassment on his dark skin: "It's the first time I've come to the chief of staff's house, so I don't have anything to give away. This is a specialty from my hometown. I'll bring it here for you to try."
Yan Zhen quickly gave up his seat for him, and after Jiang Songnian sat down, he looked around uncomfortably.His wife and children are also in City B, but they live in a family compound built by the troops in City B on the outskirts of the city a few years ago. After the place was full, a small building was built behind the division's reconnaissance camp.His gaze fell on a cup of steaming tea in front of him, and he said, "It's a holiday, and the chief of staff isn't home?"
"He said he would rest tomorrow."
"Oh." Jiang Songnian nodded, "I think this house is still a little empty, haven't you moved in yet?"
Yan Zhen brushed his hair: "Don't worry, the family members of Deputy Battalion Commander Jiang have come with you?"
Jiang Songnian smiled and said, "Well, I've been here for several years, my daughter is in her second year of high school, and my wife also has a job in the city."
Hearing this, Yan Zhen was a little envious: "That's pretty good."
Jiang Songnian sighed: "Actually, it's nothing. This wife and child have finally been settled in City B, and I'm going to change jobs and leave."
Yan Zhen was a little surprised when he heard this: "This year?"
"Yeah." Jiang Songnian nodded, "It's been almost 20 years, and there is no technology or culture, so the army is no longer there." It is common for soldiers with hard-working camps to be demobilized and change jobs.Moreover, the army is also in a period of transformation. An informationized army needs more talents.
After being silent for a while, Yan Zhen asked, "Then, what are your plans after changing jobs?"
This question is a bit heavy, Jiang Songnian shook his hands on his knees: "There are special arrangements for the work of cadres who have been transferred from the military. I am not very worried about this. It is my wife and daughter..." As he said, he raised his head At the beginning, there was some hesitation in his eyes.After all, he is stupid and can't go around in circles: "Actually, I came to the chief of staff today just to talk about this matter."
Yan Zhen snorted and listened carefully to him.
"My daughter is currently a sophomore in a high school in the city, but she is not registered in city B, and she has to go back to her hometown when she takes the college entrance examination. My hometown's education level is not as good as that of city B. In a big city, all resources are convenient, so I think Let her study here until before the college entrance examination and then go back. It’s just that once I change jobs, the army’s house will not be able to live in, and I have to rent another house in the city, which is a lot of money. So, I want to find a staff Tell me a little bit about the house."
When Yan Zhen heard this, his expression froze.After a long time, she found her voice: "What's the problem with the house?"
Jiang Songnian said with some hesitation: "I seldom ask the army, and this time it is a last resort. I want to talk to the chief of staff to see if the house can be handed over later?" Seeing that Yan Zhen was silent, he quickly said: " If it's really troublesome, forget it, in fact, I was a little hesitant before coming here, afraid of giving the leader..."
"It's okay." Yan Zhen interrupted him, "I'll talk to Huai Yue about this matter, and try to help as much as I can."
Jiang Songnian said pleasantly, "Thank you so much."
Yan Zhen smiled slightly and said, "It's okay."
After a thousand thanks, Jiang Songnian left.After seeing him off, Yan Zhen sat on the sofa in a daze.Sitting and sitting only felt that his hands were cold, so he hurriedly poured a glass of water and held it in his hands.Slowly, the body temperature went up, and the mind stabilized.The children are still playing in the water, and they never get tired of it.Suddenly a cracking sound came from the kitchen, Yan Zhen was startled, put down the water glass and hurriedly looked at him.
One of the porcelain flower bowls was scrapped by the little guy. Yan Zhen looked at the kid's hand and felt relieved when he saw that it was not injured.She looked up at the kid standing against the wall: "Stop playing in the water, go to the room and do your homework!"
The kid pouted and went out reluctantly.Yan Zhen stood in the kitchen, looking at the mess, and suddenly felt tired from the bottom of his heart.
Today's work ended very early, and Gu Huaiyue returned home before six o'clock.
As soon as I entered the house, I found that the house was extremely deserted.Yan Zhen was nowhere to be seen, only the kid was tossing his gun listlessly.
Gu Huai walked over and tapped his little head: "What's wrong?"
The child hugged his leg: "Mr. Yan is angry with me and ignored me all afternoon."
This is a bit strange, he plucked the little guy's hair: "What bad things have you done again?"
"I broke a bowl." The kid muttered softly, looking at him pitifully, "Is this bad thing serious?"
Gu Huaiyue pondered for a while, then rubbed the kid's head: "I'll go and have a look first."
The light in the bedroom was dimmed, and Yan Zhen was lying on the bed, sleeping with the quilt covering his head.Gu Huaiyue stood at the door for a while before closing the door and walking lightly towards the bed.
The person on the bed was breathing very evenly, Gu Huaiyue looked at the quilt kicked away by her, and bent down to tuck the corners of the quilt for her.His movements were very light, but he didn't want to startle her.Yan Zhen opened his eyes, woke up leisurely, and saw Gu Huaiyue sitting on the bedside.
"Are you back?" she said vaguely, "What time is it?"
"It's past six o'clock."
Six o'clock, after six o'clock?Yan Zhen got up in a hurry, but she actually slept all afternoon? !
Gu Huaiyue supported her: "Lie down for a while when you're tired, I'll make dinner."
"Not tired." She whispered, because her voice was sticky just after waking up, and it was a little more cute than usual.Yan Zhen shook his head and looked at Gu Huaiyue: "By the way, Jiang Songnian, Deputy Battalion Commander Jiang is here today."
"Oh? Is he busy?"
"Isn't he about to change jobs, but his daughter is still studying here."
Gu Huaiyue remembered: "Lao Jiang should leave this year, is it about the house?"
"Ah."
"It's not a big deal. It doesn't mean that the house will be taken back as soon as the person leaves. The army will give him a transition period of one or two years. I will call Lao Jiang later to let Jiang not worry, and say hello to the barracks department. "
After Yan Zhen heard this, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief: "So easy to solve?"
Gu Huaiyue smiled: "Although the troops are strictly managed, they are not inhumane. They are all comrades-in-arms, so we can't let them feel that they are out of touch."
Hearing this, Yan Zhen fell silent.After a while, she opened her mouth in a low voice: "Huaiyue, have I told you about my father?"
Gu Huaiyue was startled, looked at her and shook his head.
Yan Zhen sat on the bed, curled up his legs and said in a muffled voice: "My father was a soldier in [-], and he changed his job when I was nine years old. It's strange, I have forgotten many things before, but on this day I remember it very clearly."
That day my father found a car and brought back all his personal belongings in the army.Not much, just some books and a backpack, and the shoulder straps that were removed.She stood there, wondering what happened to her father.
Her father has always been kind to her, even at this moment, he just smiled and touched her forehead: "Ninny, Dad will not be a soldier in the future, will you go back to your hometown with Dad?"
She nodded ignorantly, pointed to the things her father brought back and asked why there were only so few things, and his father only answered her with a warm smile.
A real soldier has to learn to face the reality of society when he leaves the army, but usually they will not ask the army for anything.Because the army trained them to be real men, making them brave to face everything.Her father was such a person.
"During that time, my father went home to work, but the house hadn't been settled yet, so my grandma accompanied me to live in the army's house. Until one day, someone from the barracks department came to tell us that the house would be collected within a three-day deadline. But at that time Father was still at home waiting for work news, so he couldn't come directly, so he contacted the section chief of the barracks section, and even the deputy brigade commander in charge of this matter. But they told father that this was an order from the whole brigade, and it had to be handed over within three days House. In fact, this is not the first time that we have been urged to hand over the house. Before that, our water and electricity were cut off. Later, it was my father who found someone to let us live for a few months. My father paid some money just in case. Electricity bills. But it didn’t work that time, and the section chief said that even if the utility bills are refunded in full, we have to leave.”
Speaking of this, Yan Zhen's eyelashes trembled slightly, Gu Huaiyue seemed to have expected something, and immediately held her cold hand.
"I called my father. I was so scared that I cried on the phone. My father comforted me and said that it was okay. He would come over soon and got on the train. But, when my grandma and I were packing our luggage, I received a call from the hospital. The phone call said that my father had suffered a myocardial infarction and died when he was parked and sent to the hospital.”
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but began to tremble in his clenched hand: "I never knew he was sick, and I never believed that the person I respect the most would pass away in this way. After he passed away, he died a long time ago. It’s hard for me to accept that fact.”
The voice became tighter and tighter, Yan Zhen lowered his head, almost speechless.Gu Huaiyue could only sigh, hugged her into his arms, and gently patted her on the back to comfort her.
He loves the army, and he also admires those who are willing to shed blood and sweat on this hot land, but he also knows that one cannot become a real soldier by putting on a military uniform.
"My father must have been in great pain when he changed jobs. The thing I regret most now is that when my father left the army, I never gave him any comfort. After he died, I only hated there. I hated the man he used to be. The place I love, I think my father must be very disappointed in me."
He never knew that she buried her pain so deeply. If it wasn't for Jiang Songnian's incident, she would never have confide it to him.Just thinking about it makes him feel distressed: "No, he will understand you. Besides, isn't it much better now? We don't want to."
He coaxed her slowly, Yan Zhen also calmed down slowly.
In fact, she thought about staying away from these people in military uniforms for the rest of her life, because when she saw them, she couldn't help but think of her father.For them, she couldn't love but also couldn't hate them, so she chose to stay away.But it so happened that she married such a man again. She even envied Jiang Songnian. When he was lonely and helpless, he could meet someone who helped him like this. Gu Huaiyue made her feel warm: "Huaiyue."
"Ok?"
"Thank you." Thank him for letting her finally let go.
Gu Huaiyue smiled. As a man and a husband, his duty is to make his woman feel comfortable and happy.What he did was nothing more than that simple, what is there to thank him for?Thinking about it, he hugged her tightly and put a kiss on her cheek: "Fool."
On the third day of the holiday, Gu Huaiyue finally had time to hang out with Jia Ming and Yan Zhen.
Before going out, he deliberately changed into casual clothes, and Yan Zhen rarely saw him in casual clothes.In fact, it is almost the same as the military uniform, except that the breath around the body is much softer.
The kid was also very excited, sitting on the passenger seat with piercing eyes: "Dad, where are we going?"
Gu Huaiyue flicked the kid's head: "Where do you want to go? Today I am mainly responsible for driving forward, and the specific direction is up to you to decide."
It can be seen that he is in a good mood.
The child was happy, but was bound by the seat belt, so he could only turn his head and look at Yan Zhen: "Mr. Yan, where are we going to play?"
Yan Zhen smiled at him: "Isn't it up to you to decide? You can go wherever you say."
Little Gu started to think, and slowly, the little boy started to frown, and finally he had a bun face. This question was hard for him.Gu Huaiyue glanced at him with a smirk, looked up and happened to see the giant poster hanging outside the movie theater, and said, "Would you like to watch a movie?"
The kid stretched his head, saw that it was the type he liked, and nodded happily.
The movie theater is on the [-]th floor of the shopping mall. Chief of Staff Gu queued up to buy tickets. Yan Zhen and the children were waiting outside. The children were already eating popcorn happily.Yan Zhen sat there but was lost in thought, if he ignores the little guy beside him, they, is this a date?
Thinking about it, Yan Zhen smiled.Everyone else is dating, falling in love, and getting married, but they are the other way around.However, different routes lead to the same goal.
"Teacher Yan, I want to drink Coke!" The child bluffed.
Yan Zhen rolled his eyelids angrily, with this little guy around, no matter how good the atmosphere was, it would be ruined.
Gu Huaiyue came over and handed the ticket to Yan Zhen, and shook her hand by the way.It's a bit cold today, Gu Huaiyue held her hand and frowned: "Why are your hands so cold?"
Yan Zhen blinked his eyes, and his originally quiet eyes revealed a bit of cunning: "Have you heard a word? No one hurts people with cold hands."
Gu Huaiyue was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was joking, and couldn't help but squeeze her hand hard, as if trying to warm her up.
The movie started on time, and the children watched happily, but Yan Zhen felt faintly sleepy.Gu Huaiyue also watched very intently, until he felt a heavy feeling on his shoulders before realizing that someone had fallen asleep.With a smile on his lips, he adjusted his sitting position slightly to make her sleep more comfortably.
Since he was in the army, he could count such appointments on one hand. He didn't know if there was a standard template to refer to, but it felt good like this now.Just as his thoughts were drifting away, the phone in his pocket buzzed. Gu Huaiyue looked at the number, hesitated for a moment, and pressed the answer button.
The voice on the other end of the phone was a bit rushed, and he couldn't hear it clearly. When he was about to get up and walk out, he thought of Yan Zhen who was asleep. When he turned his head to look, she had already opened her eyes.
Yan Zhen saw that he was holding the phone and knew something was up: "Go and answer it."
Gu Huaiyue pulled out an almost imperceptible smile, and walked out.
It was Xiao Ma, the correspondent, who said that Colonel Zhao, the deputy director of the exercise director department, called him just now, saying that Commander Xi was overworked and admitted to the hospital, and now he wants to see Gu Huaiyue in the hospital.
Gu Huaiyue said that he knew and hung up the phone, his brows that were originally relaxed were slightly frowned at this moment.At this time when the movie was over and the crowd was going out, he looked up and saw Yan Zhen and Gu Jiaming.
Seeing his solemn expression, Yan Zhen couldn't help asking: "What happened?"
He helped her by the shoulder, looked at the child, then at her, and said, "Uncle Xi is in the hospital."
Yan Zhen was a little nervous immediately: "Is it serious?"
Gu Huaiyue shook his head: "It's said that the situation is under control. Uncle Xi is keeping a close eye on the army's drills these days, and he must have exhausted his energy."
"Then shall we go see him now?"
"Don't go today, Uncle Xi just woke up, and I can't see so many people here, I will send you home first, and then go to the hospital to see Uncle Xi."
It had to be like this.Yan Zhen nodded in agreement.
Xi Shaofeng is not a person who has experienced many battles. He was still young when the Eighteenth Army entered Tibet half a century ago and planted the five-star red flag on the roof of the world. Has been liberated and peace building has begun.At that time, the designation of the [-]th Army had already been revoked, and Xi Shaofeng was serving as a soldier in a regiment of the original [-]th Army.According to him, the bones of this soldier who served on the plateau were three points harder than other soldiers, but now he was made to lie on the bed, or because he was sick, he was very unhappy.
He took the medicine with the water Zhong Liying handed over, and looked at Gu Huaiyue who was standing straight in front of him: "I asked you to come here, do you have any objections?"
"Report to the commander, no."
No wonder!He glared at him, and just the way he poked there motionless showed that he had a problem!Gu Huaiyue relaxed in time to relieve the pressure of Commander Xi looking up at him.
Xi Shaofeng raised his hand, and said with some difficulty: "Whether you have any objections or not, you can go to the exercise base now."
After saying that, Zhong Liying objected a little: "Yan Zhen is still here, so don't bother them both."
Xi Shaofeng smiled, raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Huaiyue, but Gu Huaiyue was silent for a few seconds, stood at attention and saluted: "Obey the order."
Although the slogan was shouted loudly, when there was only one person left, Gu Huaiyue could only smile wryly, and he called Yan Zhen to inform her of his whereabouts.She listened quietly on the other end, and waited for him to finish speaking before saying softly: "Go, be careful on the road, we will wait for you at home."
"Ah."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Huaiyue firmly held the steering wheel, took a deep breath, and drove towards the exercise base.The three-hour drive was abruptly shortened by nearly half an hour.After jumping out of the car, Gu Huai strode towards the director's hall.Commander Xi entered the hospital, and now Deputy Commander Lu is sitting here, frowning slightly at the giant screen. Gu Huaiyue sits next to Deputy Director Zhao: "How is the situation now?"
Assistant Director Zhao shook his head: "It's not very optimistic for Division D. The Blue Army used electronic countermeasures to increase electromagnetic suppression against the Red Army, and released a virus that interrupted his communication. Now the commander of the Red Army, Shen Mengchuan, is probably in a hurry. He told him The soldiers have been out of contact for five hours." Deputy Director Zhao took stock of the situation, turned his head and asked Gu Huaiyue, "Tell me, will this division D become a mess?"
"No." Gu Huaiyue replied quickly, "Shen Mengchuan is a master of detoxification, and he is also good at fighting unprepared battles."
Indeed, judging from the picture, although his troops were broken into pieces, and some of them were even disrupted, individual combat ability has always been the focus of Shen Mengchuan's training.
While carrying out anti-interference and counter-suppression, the Red Army re-adjusted its deployment and successfully forced the Blue Army to retreat to the front line of Hill No. [-].However, before Shen Mengchuan had time to be proud, the blue army came out from the left and right flanks with a tank battalion and a self-propelled artillery battalion to form a pincer attack on the red army. The red army was forced to start building a line of defense to snipe the enemy.
Gu Huaiyue sighed, "He's still in a hurry."
Deputy Commander Lu heard it and turned to look at him: "Continue."
Gu Huaiyue had no choice but to continue: "Even if we drive them to the riverside, we may not be able to eat them all. There are people in the blue army, and they only need to sacrifice a small amount of troops to build a pontoon bridge."
Deputy Commander Lu smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Go, go to Division D to have a look."
When they arrived at Division D, Hill No. [-] had been captured by the Blue Army, which indicated that the Red Army ended in failure in the first stage of the exercise. When Gu Huaiyue followed Deputy Commander Lu into the tent, Shen Mengchuan was leaning over to look at the sand table and saw Lu The deputy commander immediately stood up and saluted.
Deputy Commander Lu asked with a smile: "Mr. Shen, do you have a plan for how to conduct this exercise?"
Shen Mengchuan stood up straight, comparable to Gu Huaiyue's military posture in Xi Shaofeng's ward: "Yes!"
"That's fine."
Deputy Commander Lu nodded and walked towards his sand table.
Shen Mengchuan took the opportunity to walk towards Gu Huaiyue, looked at his spotless regular military uniform from top to bottom, then looked down at his combat uniform after fumbling in the battlefield, and said, "If you don't mind, how about a handshake? "
Chief of Staff Gu faced Shen Mengchuan's difficulties calmly and calmly, and he stretched out his hand: "Do you have time later?"
"Yes." Shen Mengchuan scratched his hair, "The first stage of the exercise failed, and the higher-ups gave me some rest time. What's the matter?"
Gu Huaiyue had to admit that this man surnamed Shen always had a way to make his troops look like motley crews, and he was not like a teacher, but more like a gangster: "Commander Xi is hospitalized, but he is very concerned about the drill, you If you have time, go to the hospital to see him, and report the situation by the way."
Shen Mengchuan seemed to be choking, and cursed in a low voice: "I'm going to report this, do you still want Lao Xi to be discharged from the hospital?"
That being said, three hours later, two similar Cheetah vehicles stopped at the inpatient department of the hospital.
Gu Huaiyue and Shen Mengchuan got out of the car one after the other, and walked in a double formation, with the same pace.Shen Mengchuan wanted to break this consensus from the bottom of his heart, but he would not leave if he changed, so he had no choice but to continue to maintain the formation and move forward quickly.
Gu Huaiyue walked very calmly until he reached the door, because he heard laughter coming from inside.
"Who's inside?" Shen Mengchuan asked.
Gu Huaiyue glanced at him and said, "My wife and my son."
Speaking of pushing the door and entering, Shen Mengchuan was taken aback when he heard this, but after a while he realized who it was, he patted his hair, and followed him in.
In the ward, Yan Zhen was sitting on the sofa with Zhong Liying, while Xi Shaofeng, who was lying on the bed, was amused by the children around the bed.Hearing the sound of the door, he put down the newspaper in his hand, rubbed the child's head, and looked at the person coming.
Gu Huaiyue and Shen Mengchuan stood upright and saluted, and Xi Shaofeng waved his hands.It was already eight o'clock in the evening, he didn't expect to see Shen Mengchuan at this moment, and he had a rough estimate of the situation of the exercise in his heart.
Knowing that they were going to talk about something, Yan Zhen pulled the child and followed Zhong Liying to the outside room, Gu Huaiyue called her back: "It's so late, I'll ask someone to take you back."
Yan Zhen shook his head: "Don't worry, I will accompany Aunt Zhong."
Gu Huaiyue looked at Zhong Liying's back leading the children walking outside, and nodded.
Yan Zhen smiled at him, and when he looked away, he saw Shen Mengchuan.He had just come off the training ground, and the camouflage on his face hadn't been washed off.Seeing her at this moment, he froze for a moment and immediately pulled out a simple and honest smile.
Yan Zhen returned a faint smile, and then walked out.
She came here in the car of the division commander Liu Xiangdong. When she came, Commander Xi happened to fall asleep, while Zhong Liying sat outside, secretly wiping tears, and hurriedly wiped her tears when she saw her passing by.Yan Zhen didn't know what to say, Zhong Liying was an old military wife, and even spent those years in Tibet with Xi Shaofeng, there were probably not many things that could make her cry now.
Just now in the ward, Yan Zhen couldn't talk about Xi Shaofeng's condition in front of him, now that the door was closed, she asked, "Aunt Zhong, is Uncle Xi's illness serious?"
It’s okay if you don’t ask, but Zhong Liying’s stable mood fluctuated again when she asked, she shook her head, her eyes were slightly red: “This old guy is stubborn, if he doesn’t go to the hospital once, he won’t know the importance of good health. I think He will suffer this sooner or later."
A while ago, Xi Shaofeng had an operation for the cancer cells on the liver. After the operation, the doctor asked him to insist on medication for a period of time. Zhong Liying also followed behind and instructed. Xi Shaofeng promised well every time, but it is easy to forget when he is busy.
Yan Zhen handed her a tissue to calm her down.
Zhong Liying calmed down for a while, looked at her and smiled: "I'll show you a joke."
Yan Zhen shook his head, sat down next to her, looked at the kid who was playing with guns not far away, and smiled lightly: "Uncle Xi is very happy to have you here."
Zhong Liying snorted: "He doesn't care about me. When I was young, I was doing exercises once. When I was guiding the target too close, I was hit by shrapnel in the leg and lower abdomen. When I was sent to the hospital, I was covered in blood. I was so frightened. Crying, but do you know what he said when he woke up?" Zhong Liying put on airs and imitated Xi Shaofeng's tone: "Why did you send me to the hospital? The sacrifice must be on the battlefield!"
After speaking, she laughed first, with wet tears in her eyes.
Yan Zhen quietly held her hand: "Actually, he lied to you."
Because, there is a kind of hero grave in this world, called Wenrou Township.
After chatting for a while, Zhong Liying's mood had recovered. Just as the door inside opened, Gu Huaiyue and Shen Mengchuan walked out. Yan Zhen quickly got up and asked, "How is Uncle Xi?"
"Uncle Xi is a bit tired, so let's rest first." He said, looking at Zhong Liying, "Aunt Zhong, Uncle Xi told me to take you back. It's so late, you should also rest."
Zhong Liying shook her head: "Xiaoxiao will come over later, I'll wait for her here." Xi Xiao is a daughter adopted by Xi Shaofeng and Zhong Liying. She was studying abroad and heard that her father was admitted to the hospital just after returning home. At this moment On the way to the hospital.
Gu Huaiyue didn't force her anymore: "Then let's go first and come to see Uncle Xi some other day."
Zhong Liying nodded, told them to drive carefully, and watched the group of people leave.
Shen Mengchuan walked out of the ward with them, and the kid obviously still remembered Shen Mengchuan's crow's mouth, so he turned his head and gave him a special look.
Shen Mengchuan, who was scratching his hair, was depressed, and stared back: "I said, the little guy raised by your family is not bad, he knows that he is unanimous to the outside world at such a young age."
Yan Zhen glanced at him, and restrained the kid from messing around.Gu Huaiyue glanced at his wife and son, and after taking him under his wing, he said, "Should we go back to the exercise base to rest, or..."
"You don't need to worry about that." He took off his hat, his eyes scattered elsewhere, "You are under a lot of weight, can you sleep?"
Gu Huaiyue smiled lightly: "I can only empathize with you, it's a bit regrettable."
Shen Mengchuan gritted his teeth a bit, turned his head, and looked at Yan Zhen with a complicated expression, but her reaction was unexpectedly calm, she just nodded at him and smiled slightly.
Friendlier than ever.
Shen Mengchuan is not stupid, he knows that under certain circumstances, friendship is another kind of alienation.Suddenly the brim of the hat was pulled over, Shen Mengchuan was forced to turn his head and glared at Gu Huaiyue.
"Then I'll go first, my son is sleepy."
Where is he sleepy, two big eyes are staring at him!Shen Mengchuan complained a lot in his heart, but there was a smile on his face: "Yes, my wife and children are hot on the kang, so of course it's like an arrow to return."
As if he didn't understand the sarcasm in his words, Chief of Staff Gu smiled lightly: "Then I wish Master Shen that he can find a gentle place as soon as possible. Go ahead."
Shen Mengchuan let out a "lean", looked at the backs of the three leaving, wiped his face, and cursed softly: "So blind."
It was late when I got home, so I took a quick shower and went to bed.
Yan Zhen is also quite tired today, but it is difficult to sleep in bed.She suddenly felt that she was a little too much towards Shen Mengchuan.He didn't do anything wrong, even if he did, he apologized, but he seemed a bit stingy.
She sighed, and was hugged by someone from behind: "What's wrong?"
With a warm embrace, she couldn't help approaching: "It's okay."
He kissed her forehead: "rest early."
She hummed, but after thinking about it, she turned around and said, "Huaiyue, isn't it bad for us to treat Shen Mengchuan like that in the hospital just now?"
Gu Huaiyue opened his eyes, looked at her eyes that were especially bright in the dark, and smiled: "It's okay, we are used to tit for tat, in his opinion, my sarcasm is more pleasing to the ear than sympathy."
Yan Zhen smiled sullenly, leaning against his chest, feeling his ups and downs and gentle heartbeat: "There is something I didn't tell you."
"What's the matter?" He asked in a low voice, stroking her long hair.
"Actually, Shen Mengchuan and I have known each other since we were young."
"Oh?" Gu Huaiyue raised his brows slightly, and hugged her hand firmly, "Be honest."
Yan Zhen glared at him: "It's not considered acquaintance, just met, but that time he bullied me enough, and I never saw him again." Later, we met again on the grassland. She didn't remember him, and she didn't think of him until later when he brought Shen Mengjiao and Jiang Yi to the division headquarters.
At that time, she really hated him, the new hatred added to the old hatred.But now that I think about it, I feel nothing.Maybe time is really the medicine to heal wounds.Thinking of this, she came back to her senses and saw Chief of Staff Gu staring at her ecstatically.
"What's wrong?" She touched her face subconsciously.
"It's okay." He said, and put her head in his arms, "fortunately."
Fortunately, fortunately what?How does this man speak?Yan Zhen was depressed and asked: "Fortunately what?"
The person above her head seemed to be asleep. After a while, when she gave up on getting the answer, she heard him say: "Fortunately, we are married."
Yan Zhen couldn't laugh or cry immediately, it turned out that this person had such naive moments.She pushed him and tried to turn around, but was blocked halfway.
"I'll tell you something."
"what's up?"
"The exercise is not over yet. I have to observe the exercise with Deputy Commander Lu for a few days. Therefore, the vacation has been cancelled." He said with some hesitation.
"I know." Yan Zhen replied sullenly. What annoys her the most about him is that he always calmly reminds her that it's time to say goodbye.
Gu Huaiyue knew it too, so he could only hug her and whisper, "I'm sorry."
Hearing him say sorry, Yan Zhen felt his heart being pulled, and felt a little pain.She grabbed his clothes tightly and buried her head in his arms, not daring to look at him.Because as long as she looked up, he could see the moisture in her eyes clearly.
"Don't say those two words in the future. I hate them."
He chuckled and said yes.
In fact, it's fine to just stay so quietly without saying anything.Instead of complaining about how little time belongs to them, it's better to enjoy every minute and every second together.
