In the flashing neon lights, the bare trees reflect the snow-white background, like burning spires, shining brightly, the stems of withered flowers, and the stumps inlaid with snow, synthesize the silent movement of the nocturne.Yu Suo stood in front of the window, admiring the unprecedented scenery outside.

"What happened next?" Xiaochun looked at Yusuo fascinatedly, "I really want to listen to it all at once!"

"Later, Song Daming, the deputy political commissar of the regiment, held the biggest wedding in the regiment for the two of us!" Yu Suo seemed to be still immersed in the happy wedding in body and mind.

Yu Suo clearly remembered that after the wedding, all the officers and soldiers of the engineering company surrounded Chuanlong and her, talking and laughing all the way to the regiment guest house, looking at the buildings surrounded by green trees, and suddenly stopped.

Li Zhonghua patted Chuanlong on the shoulder, took out a jar of honey and handed it to Chuanlong, saying, take it!Seeing that Chuanlong refused, he said, do you know what a honeymoon is?That is, the newlyweds will be locked in the same room, and there will be a jar of honey next to the bed. When they are tired at night, they will pick some bees with their fingers and put them in their mouths. Pick some honey with your fingers and put it in your mouth...

Lu Dayong suddenly realized that his curious eyes were shining like stars in the dark night.Oh?No wonder!No wonder first-married couples call it a honeymoon. They feed two finger bees a day, and after a month, what else is there to say? ——Absolutely gluey!

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, the correspondent handed the two telegrams to Chuanlong, and everyone turned around and followed the company commander to the company's truck.

Chuanlong took Yusuo to the second floor, opened the door of No. 26, a small pink and festive world, like a kind of ecstasy that fell from the sky, landed on the young couple.Love makes two people, and even everything in front of them, rosy.The stars are words, the flowers are shadows, the breeze after the rain makes wonderful music, and the moonlight shining through the windows is also a pleasant impulse.

"Close your eyes and let me carry you one more time," he said.

Yu Suo closed his eyes obediently, and wrapped his hands around Chuanlong's fiery neck, reveling in the true feelings and nature of the other party.He put her gently on the bed and started kissing her forehead.Suddenly, he hugged her, buried his head in her chest, tears slowly flooded her body, she stroked his hair, comforted him, she didn't care, really didn't care.After such a solemn and grand wedding, for some reason, she always felt that there seemed to be a fanatical power in her body, controlling and attracting her, causing her body and mind to undergo a huge change at that moment. Connect yourself with the entire army, all soldiers, and all military wives.

Unknowingly, because of that wedding, her personality was infused with qualities of heroism, holiness, dedication, and sacrifice. She honestly faced every throb of her heart, and told herself that she must be a lover. Such a good military wife as officers and soldiers expect, she fantasizes that she is the goddess described by the poet, walking in a robe full of wonderful events and experiences, her figure and appearance will become that piece of clothing because of the great spirit of noble self-sacrifice. Colorful sacrificial robes...

The two telegrams sent by the correspondent before returning to the company came from the No. [-] Cotton Mill. The leader of the cotton mill to which she belonged, in view of her consistent good performance, promised that as long as she could return to work within two months, she would keep her position, otherwise she would be resigned. Automatically leaving the factory to deal with it, and seeing that two months have passed, she has no way out and is dreaming of her only crazy dream: to be a good military wife!
Chuanlong sat on the podium to give students, workers, and local people a tour report on "Money Worship and People's Interests". He was awarded the title of "Hero" by the group army, and was promoted as the deputy commander of the Red Fourth Company. Because of the tight training tasks and his family members did not meet the conditions for joining the army, Yu Suo returned to Huaowan willingly. To perform filial piety for him so that he would be loyal in the army; she offered to take their only and most precious possession—a Hisense color TV gifted by the people of Caiqi Farm—to her parents-in-law.When she was packing, she accidentally found 2000 yuan in the camouflage bag when she came. It must have been stuffed in by the knife-mouthed, tofu-hearted aunt, and she is willing to take it out without reservation to be filial to her parents-in-law... "

Hu Chuanlong and Zhao Yusuo put the TV, clothes and luggage on the wooden trolley that the company delivered food to the team every day.

Chuanlong happily patted the TV packing box, "Uncle just like this one. I remember watching movies with him when I was a child. He was drowsy under the curtain, shaking his head, phlegm and nose runny, and he insisted on watching it! I am almost eight years old." If you don’t come back, you’ll just wait until you can return home!”

Pushing the cart, the two of them squirmed slowly in the pale yellow world like a waterfall.

The wind is indifferent, the yellow dust is all over the sky, and the slender road is like a waterfall like a net.

Chuanlong and Yusuo pushed the cart and climbed from the bottom of the valley to the mountain on the narrow and steep yellow dust path.There are already snowflakes in the sky.The breath they exhaled was crushed into ashes by the strong wind, and they fell to the ground.

The figures of the two of them are like two small dots, jumping in the gullies.

A song Xintianyou, tearing and struggling in the valley, in the wind and sand——

Standing on the knotted beam and roaring,
Tell my love girl to listen carefully.

The yellow rustle blows and whirls and lands,
I made up my mind to have a ride with you.

Shandandan is blooming, it is full of red slopes,
My dear girl is always mine.

……

The two pushed the cart up to the top of the loess high slope, looking back at the valley, like a huge funnel on the earth.

Thin fir trees are scattered all over the mountains one after another, and clumps of thorny branches spread out in all directions, and the undulating half-yellow and half-green thatch under the forest is submerged to the knees of passers-by.There is no artificial planting and irrigation for all the scenery, let alone deliberate pruning.They grow naturally in the wilderness, waiting for the people in the mountain village to choose.

After trekking in the northwest, suddenly falling into such a natural scene, Yu Suo has a good feeling of being in a landscape painting.

Yusuo and Chuanlong carried the huge color TV and stood at the gate of Hu's house.Hu's house still has adobe walls as described in Chuanlong's letter, with straw beards hanging all over the walls.

The old couple, Hu Shenggen and Qiu Bapo, sat at the small black wooden table polluted by oil and water, and ate. of dark and mushy peanuts.

While eating, the eighth woman dozed off for some reason, and the chopsticks fell from her hands to the ground with a clatter.Startled, she quickly opened her eyes.

Hu Shenggen picked up the chopsticks from the ground, held the chopsticks and knocked on his wife's head, he said with a bit of resentment: "You rotten grass and fleshless thing, you can't even eat, you say you can still do it." What is it? My house is all poor in your hands."

Qiu Bapo's small mung bean eyes flashed with fear, and her body trembled to avoid it.

Just at this time, Yusuo and Chuanlong appeared at the door carrying the TV.Sheng Gen felt a black shadow in front of his eyes, raised his head and saw the two, quickly threw away the chopsticks, got up and stretched his hands to the bottom of the TV box, and said to the two that I would help, put it here, lightly, lightly.

Yusuo followed Chuanlong and called Boda, took out 2000 yuan meeting money, and handed them to his parents-in-law.

The eighth woman waved her hands and refused to answer: "There is no second master in the family, so give it to him, give it to him!"

Sheng Gen quickly grabbed the money, counted it, and raised his head to complain to Chuanlong: "Oh, you are so old, it is really useless, if she has half the heart of your uncle, how can my life be like this?" What about her? She..."

Yu Suo was about to turn around and go outside to pick up another luggage, but suddenly firecrackers blared at the door, and the gongs and drums were loudly beating, so she hurriedly covered her ears and retreated into the house.

Hu's low, damp and dark hut suddenly crowded in a large group of villagers.First came the male generals with gongs and drums, and then the women with vegetable baskets and hoes. They originally planned to work in the fields, but when they heard the sound of firecrackers, they thought that Chuanlong had returned, so they came to have a look.

They stuffed the farm tools into the corner of Hu's house, leaned forward and said enthusiastically, Chuanlong, let us have a look, let us take a good look, you are a real tool, you have won honor for your uncle, and for the villagers Glory to us, glory to Dabie Mountain, the meritorious service you sent back, the newspapers you published, we have all seen it...

Ba Po Qiu hurriedly went to the neighboring houses to borrow stools and chairs, Hu Chuanlong hurriedly unpacked cigarettes, opened bags of candies, and distributed them to everyone.Under the cue of Chuanlong, Yusuo broke the initial bewilderment, and started to grab a handful of big red dates from the northwest, and held the tea that was brewed black and thick like traditional Chinese medicine, and held it in front of everyone.

Degen was shirtless, barefoot, and wearing a black cloth gown. He shook his head and said to Chuanlong, "You are doing well now. You have become an official and a hero, and you are not welcomed by your uncle. I heard that You want to go back, I’m so busy, every day when I come back from the field, I gather the smarter people in the village to practice gongs and drums, and I’m waiting to welcome you! Although there are no discounts on food and drink, it’s also our adults’ intention, It's good for you, if you don't say come back, go to my house first, and the cat will not know how to go out at home."

Everyone echoed and said: "Yes, yes, your uncle and uncle have worried a lot for your family these years and suffered a lot."
