Flowers and dances

Chapter 10

Chuwu burned for two days, and finally had to go to a community clinic to hang water.She seldom gets sick on weekdays, or just a minor ailment of cold and cough, but this time the illness came like a mountain.Han Dequn was transported abroad, and there was no one at home to take care of him.Fortunately, after hanging two bottles of water, the fever subsided that night, but his complexion turned yellow.

In the evening, she called Sun Xiaoran. "How have you been these two days? Are you not tired?"

Sun Xiaoran lay on the bed and hummed, "It's not like we're tired from training, hey, we just haven't seen that soldier." He couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

"What's so good about him?"

"If he's not married, I'll go after him."

Chu Wu twitched the corner of her mouth, originally wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, chatted with her a few words, and hung up the phone.Thinking of what happened that night, she unconsciously twitched the corners of her mouth. Maybe, he was just on a whim.

When Xi Haoze and Chuwu had a showdown that night, they returned to the army and received an order from their superiors. It was snowing heavily in the south, and the traffic was completely paralyzed.The superior asked them to assemble that night and set off for J province by train on time at 8 o'clock.

As the train rumbled forward, Xi Haoze opened his military coat, tilted his face, and looked out of the dark window with his lips tightly pursed. His side face was resolute and profound.

Jiang Yixian walked over from the back carriage and sat opposite him, "Bituan, what are you thinking?" Jiang Yixian and Xi Haoze grew up in the same compound, and the two have walked all the way from classmates to comrades-in-arms. How many years of friendship, now Xi Haoze In the 31st Army, he was in the 12th Army.This time the military region deployed several regiments for support.Coincidentally, the two met.

"Sun Lian retired from the army a few days ago." Jiang Yixian paused, "I think we made trouble for him a lot when we were recruits."

"By the way, the old company commander told you to bring your wife with you when you visit him next time, otherwise he doesn't want to see you, a poor commander."

Xi Haoze touched his cold chin, and raised the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, you should hurry up and prepare a gift for your sister-in-law."

Jiang Yixian was taken aback and was about to question him.At this time, a little soldier walked over quickly and saluted quickly, "Report to the regiment commander, the chief of staff is looking for you."

After an overnight bus ride, I arrived in Province J the next morning.After getting off the train, the soldiers were ready to go with their military bags and shovels on their backs.The heads of the regiments stood in front and explained the matters, and then proceeded on foot.

There was heavy snow, and after running for more than 20 kilometers, I finally arrived at the transportation hub of J City.The expressway was congested, and there were hundreds of meters of long queues.

This time of year is already the peak period of passenger flow, and this year, it just happened to catch up with the rare heavy snowfall in a century, which made the situation even worse.

The weather conditions were extremely harsh and the soldiers were drenched.

Xi Haoze took a few soldiers to shuttle in the vehicle, and it has been blocked all night. The crowd is already extremely anxious. While stabilizing the mood of the crowd, they also ensure the needs of the people.

At the end of the day, they ate a few steamed buns. Fortunately, the road finally resumed smooth in the evening.

During this period of time, Xi's family learned to dance because of Xi Xi, and the atmosphere at home was much more lively than usual.Chen Luxia looked at her son's enthusiasm for the past few days, and gradually had some doubts in her heart.In the past few years, my son has been away from home at all. Recently... she looked sideways at her granddaughter and asked, "Niu Niu, what does uncle usually take you to do after dancing?"

"Eat KFC."

She was thoughtful, "Does your dance teacher dance well?"

"It looks good." Xi Xi nodded heavily, and said quietly, "Uncle also said it looks good."

Mother Xi raised her eyebrows, "Oh, is that so? Niuniu, grandma is going to watch you dance tomorrow, welcome?"

"Really? That's great. Grandma, our teacher Han said that I dance very beautifully." Seeing her smug appearance, Ximu nodded her little nose.

On the last day of the art troupe's class a year ago, Xi's mother went to pick up her granddaughter.Because it was the last day, all the employees had a dinner in the evening, and Su Qian also stayed in the art troupe that day.

When Xi's mother came up, Su Qian was in the hall, and she was a little surprised to see Chen Luxia.

"Auntie, you are here."

Chen Luxia did not expect that this art troupe was run by Su Qian. She was used to the scene, but she was calm, with a peaceful smile on her face, and took her hand, "I met your mother in the compound a few days ago, listen Said that you have returned to the country, and you will not visit me when you come back."

Su Qian smiled cleverly, "Auntie, I planned to visit you in the next few days. You should come to pick up Xi Xi, she will be out of class in a while, I will accompany you."

The two walked to the door of the classroom, and Xi's mother looked at it, "Xiaoqian, it's really good here."

Through the glass door, soothing music played in the classroom, Chu Wu stood facing the mirror, and demonstrated each movement carefully, "Raise your head, lower your waist, yes, very good...Xi Xi bent his legs up. "

"I can't bend over."

Chu Wu turned around and walked over to help her get into a good pose. "Okay, hold on for a while."

"It's really good practice." Chen Luxia pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes slowly shifted to Ding Chuwu's face, her hands tightened, "Su Qian, that's it?" That feeling was really a bit Like... She shook her head slightly and stopped thinking about it.

Su Qian smiled bitterly, "Our teacher here."

"Teacher..." Xi Mu murmured, and suddenly understood.

After class was over for a while, Su Qian also went to work.Mother Xi stood at the door, Xi Xi changed her clothes, and rushed over, "Grandma, did you see me dancing?"

Mother Xi knelt down and wiped her sweat, "I see, our girl dances beautifully."

Chu Wu also came out and talked to some parents about the holiday.

After seeing her parents off, she turned around and prepared to go in and change clothes.Mother Xi carefully arranged her granddaughter's clothes, but when Naihe suddenly stood up, there was a dark shadow in front of her eyes, and her body staggered slightly.

Chu Wu looked up and saw it, and quickly ran over to support her with one hand.After a few seconds, mother Xi's eyes regained clarity, and she could see the person in front of her clearly, beautifully and gracefully.

"Auntie, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm old." Chen Luxia looked at her face, "Are you Teacher Han?"

Chu Wu nodded, pursed her lips and smiled politely.She must be Xi Haoze's mother, her grace and dignity cannot be ignored. "Auntie, today is the last class of the art troupe this year, and the holiday will start tomorrow. We will start classes on the [-]th day of the first lunar month next year." Chu Wu explained in detail, while handing her the flyer.

"Mr. Han, Niuniu has troubled you during this time." Chen Luxia's untraceable girl looks quite small, but she looks pretty good.

"You're being polite." Chu Wu gently patted Xi Xi's head.

In the evening, when Xi Zhenghong came back, he went into the room and took off his coat, and Chen Luxia took it over.

"Old Xi, let me tell you something. If I have something to say tomorrow morning, I will be exhausted after driving all day."

Chen Luxia didn't follow her, she lifted the quilt, "Why sleep, you have been ignoring my son's affairs for so many years, can you sleep?"

Xi Zhenghong sighed, this old woman has already passed menopause, why is she like this again recently, "Didn't Hao Ze go to rescue the disaster?"

"Don't tell me this. My son is 30, and he's single until now..."

"Say what you want to say."

"Old Xi, if my son has his eyes on a girl this time, let's stop sticking to the family background and status, as long as the son likes it."

"Old lady, what do you want to say?"

Chen Luxia paused, and looked at him, "Hao Ze fell in love with a girl." Her eyes turned, "Niu Niu's dance teacher."

"What?" Xi Zhenghong paused, "What is he doing!"

"What are you shouting about! Didn't I discuss it with you? This matter has only just begun, and we don't know the girl's situation."

Xi Zhenghong's eyes sank, and he said coldly, "I'll talk to him when he comes back from disaster relief."

"Don't meddle in it!" Comrade Chen Luxia pulled the quilt over him with a face full of contempt, and said, "We will do nothing now and just wait and see what happens. Boss, I'm just giving you a vaccination first." .” It’s best for them to arrange their son’s affairs by themselves, and they can relax in their hearts.

The Chinese New Year will be in a few days, and Chu Wu took Sun Xiaoran to the big market for most of the day with her part-time salary.At this time, the big market is crowded with people.

Chu Wu had long planned to buy a new set of thermal underwear for Han Dequn, so she dragged Sun Xiaoran to look at it for a long time, and finally chose two sets, one for men and one for women.

"Huh, isn't this the size you wear?" Sun Xiaoran reacted, and whispered, "What are you buying for her? I don't think she bought anything for you."

Chu Wu pursed her lips. After all, she was an elder. People who lived with her father couldn't really care about anything. She raised her head and smiled, "I'll call her Mom anyway."

"You call her Mom, but she doesn't necessarily think of you as a daughter." Sun Xiaoran pouted. "My mother recently forced my brother to go on a blind date." She said innocently.Chu Wu was looking at the nutritional supplements, her fingertips startled.

Seeing her faint expression, Sun Xiaoran was a little anxious, "Chuwu, I've made an agreement with you, our Sun Feiran is a stubborn master, he won't let him know what he's looking for. He doesn't smoke or drink, such a man Where to find it."

Chu Wu pursed her lips into a smile, with a faint blush on her face, she turned her head quickly to hide the emotion in her eyes.

"Go to my house to play after the next year." She leaned closer, "Hey, give me a letter." She scratched her waist reluctantly, and Chu Wu's waist itched, "Okay. Don't scratch. I Promise you are."

"That's a good deal."

After shopping for a long time, the cart was slowly piled up with goods.When paying the bill, Sun Xiaoran quickly handed over the card. "The employee benefits of my father's company are not in vain. You are welcome."

Chu Wu shook her head helplessly, knowing that if she didn't want Sun Xiaoran's personality, she would definitely be angry.

Chuwu had dreamed of Nan Shumei coming to her countless times in her dreams, and every time she thought about it, she trembled with distress. After Nan Shumei left, every year on her birthday, she secretly made a wish, hoping that her Mother can come back to this home.When she grew up slowly, she graduated from elementary school and junior high school... After that, she no longer dared to think about it, nor did she dare to make a wish.

Nan Shumei, she engraved this name on the yellowed photo, and her childhood was deeply dusted in her heart.

The weather is still cold, and the sun hangs lifelessly in the sky.

She got off the bus with big and small bags, and halfway through, her arms were sore and her hands were covered with red marks.She looked at the alley, but luckily she was almost there.When I bent down to pick up the bag again, I didn't expect to walk a few steps, and suddenly the bag broke, and all the rattling things fell to the ground.

Chu Wu sighed helplessly, squatting down to pick them up one by one.Suddenly a car stopped beside her, and she lowered her head to concentrate on picking up the oranges. It happened that the oranges in the bag jumped far away.She buried her head and walked a few steps towards you, her hand was still a finger away from the orange, and a hand with a purple leather glove picked up the yellow-orange orange one step ahead of her.

Chu Wu slowly raised her head, the sun was shaking her eyes like light and shadow, time seemed to be frozen, she squinted her eyes, her mind went blank for an instant, and she couldn't think of any words to express her mood at that moment.

It was 17 years late, and now there is only one step between them, and this distance is harder to cross than thousands of rivers and mountains.
