military marriage

Chapter 3 The Abyss of Exile (1)
1
In the early morning, the sky seemed to be a neglected Milky Way, large flakes of snowflakes drifted down from the sky, and the whole city of City A was soaked in the cold snow.

Wearing a black down coat and a mask, Yusuo crossed the road with his luggage and walked straight to the door of "A City Hospital of Infectious Diseases". A row of sealed wide transparent glass doors opened automatically.

Yu Suo walked in calmly.A warm and peaceful atmosphere in the room, mixed with the smell of disinfectant, rushed towards him.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and all the patients whose condition has been effectively controlled have gone home to prepare for the new year, so the hospital looks empty and quiet.A white-haired, red-faced old Chinese doctor who examined her last night recognized her and greeted her kindly: "Are you here? Alone? Why didn't your lover say to send you off?"

Yu Suo nodded, the two eyes exposed on the mask shyly smiled into crescents.

"He...he just came back from the army last year, and he has been on the job for less than a year." She said, "Plus, a lot of things happened in his hometown, which took up a lot of his time, so it's not good to ask for leave."

"Oh——" The old Chinese doctor seemed to have a piece of sugar in his mouth, which was slowly melting in his mouth. He appreciated and encouraged him without hesitation, "What a wonderful woman, what a considerate woman. Now like There are not many strong and considerate women like you! Your husband and wife relationship must be very harmonious. I saw it last night and knew that your husband is not an ordinary person. "

Yu Suo felt her face was burning hot, her husband was indeed not an ordinary person, he was a soldier, a demobilized soldier!Only the bugle, only dangerous life or dirty hard work can let him find the value of his own existence!He originally wanted to send her to the hospital, but he suddenly received a call from the captain that the road was blocked by heavy snow and the traffic was jammed, and he looked at Yusuo in embarrassment.

Yusuo knew that his heart flew to the place where the traffic was jammed and flew to the post. As soon as Yusuo proposed to come to the hospital alone without delaying his work, he grabbed a shovel and went out in full armor. Yu Suo was taken aback by his back.In fact, this pain was nothing to her, the key was hepatitis infection, and she had to be admitted to the hospital for treatment.

The old Chinese doctor said kindly to Yusuo: "Take off the mask and shut yourself up! Unlike SARS, hepatitis is not transmitted through breathing, air or skin, but mainly through food and drink."

Yu Suo smiled and said, "Really? It's much better not wearing a mask!"

The old Chinese doctor took out a form and put it in front of Yusuo: "Then, fill in this form, go to the payment office and pay a deposit of 2000 yuan, and a nurse will take you to the inpatient department in the backyard."

Yusuo went through all the hospitalization procedures, and sure enough, a tall young female nurse in a white coat came over to say hello with a bright smile on her face, and bent down to help her lift her luggage on the ground.Yu Suo followed the nurse to the backyard, and saw that the rockery standing in the courtyard was covered with snow, the branches of the trees were inlaid with crystal snowflakes, and the trunks were cleverly decorated with silver.

The nurse took Yu Suo to Ward No. [-] on the fourth floor. The sufficient heating made her take off her black coat and wear only a woolen sweater as her first move.The delicate roses dotted on the bright red sweater are full of passionate life.She doesn't look like a patient with jaundice and hepatitis, but more like a woman who comes to a villa for vacation or visits relatives and friends, flaunting her leisure and elegance.

In the large room with three beds, only one patient, Yusuo, was accepted at this time, and in the eyes of the nurses, he was tolerant and magnanimous because of his preciousness.

The nurse tugged at the bedside table, patted the TV, and pointed to the hospital bed: "These three beds have just been disinfected and cleaned, you can choose one!"

Yusuo chose a bed near the window, and began to put the luggage on the bedside table. In addition to daily necessities such as toothpaste, tableware, and a change of clothes, she also brought a large bag of books, a stack of manuscripts, and a few black fountain pens.

The nurse exclaimed: "Hepatitis is caused by fatigue and depression. What you need is to rest and recuperate. You can't read books. This is an infectious disease hospital, not a holiday villa! If you don't cooperate with the treatment, how can you achieve the desired effect? ​​Lonely You can just watch TV for entertainment." As soon as the nurse's words were out of her lips, the action appeared immediately, and she turned on the TV in the closet.

Yu Suo smiled, it seemed to be a compromise to kind persuasion, but in fact she still went her own way - she was hospitalized with a fixed goal: learn to create with computers!Start to control words from your own experience!Otherwise, she would be an idler in the planning department, and owe the family heirloom!

"Really? I'm going to lie down now." She said, leaning the pillow against the bed rail, leaning against the pillow, leisurely opened a book, spread it on her lap, and drew a piece of white cardboard into a computer The keyboard rests on the lap, and the hands type between the 26 letters, and immediately sink into another world that is not understood and mastered by the nurse.The nurse went out of the ward to get her medicine, or pushed the medicine cart back to the ward, and the harsh sound made by the four iron wheels rubbing against the water grinding floor could not affect her.

"Injection!" The nurse pushed the medicine cart to her bed. "Practice typing? I've taken you!"

Yu Suo didn't raise his head, but he lifted one arm accurately to the nurse's eyes.

"I heard that you are a military wife?" The nurse skillfully hung up Yusuo's IV, and fixed the long liquid tube on the back of her hand with white tape, and asked, "You said marrying a soldier and being a military wife is okay?" it is good?"

Yu Suo's gaze finally shifted from the book to the nurse's face.

"You are also in love? You are also in love with a soldier!" She said with the confident judgment of a person who has experienced it, and wanted to bury her eyes on the "keyboard".

"Yes!" The nurse's shy happiness filled the well-heated ward, "However, I'm more interested in a different patient!" The nurse put her hand with the needle inserted on the bed sheet carefully, and pulled it over. Cover one corner of the quilt.

"Are you practicing Pinyin, or Wubi?" the nurse asked. After becoming a military wife in the future, will she become her?
Yu Suo raised her head and completely pulled herself back from the emotion of practicing calligraphy, because of the meticulous care that the nurse had just pulled a corner of the quilt to cover the back of her hand where she was hanging the IV.

"Wubi!" she said, staring at the TV screen suddenly, and waved her hand to signal the nurse to silence.The moment the nurse's eyes fell on the TV screen, the hesitation in her heart disappeared immediately.

"Minister Song? He gave a speech in my boyfriend's army." The nurse let out a cry of excitement. Seeing Yu Suo's concentration, she quickly covered her mouth to keep silent.

On the screen, Song Daming was organizing a large group of people to clear the snow.The flying cold and the boiling cleaning scene are in stark contrast.

A young reporter held a microphone in his hand: "It snowed suddenly last night. Many citizens who just walked out of their homes this morning called our hotline and asked us to record the touch that happened at the door." Turning his gaze to Song Daming, "According to Some citizens’ hotlines reported that in order to provide an unimpeded and safe passage for the citizens going to work, Song Daming, the head of the Provincial United Front Work Department, organized a large number of residents, officers and soldiers at six o’clock in the morning to clear the thick roads leading to the bustling industrial zone. snow……"

The fleeting image of Song Daming has faded away, but Yu Suo's eyes and thoughts are still lingering on the screen.

"Have you met Song Daming? I heard from my boyfriend that he often goes to their army to give lectures to the officers and soldiers on a voluntary basis, and he can always use his unique wisdom to explain their doubts."

"He used to be my wife's instructor and trainer. He was transferred when he was a political commissar! Wherever he goes, he is the center and an attractive magnet."

"Tell me, is it good to marry a soldier and be a military wife?" The nurse sat down on the chair beside her bed, her eyes full of interest, like two burning seeds, spreading and infecting Yu Suo's whole body.

Yu Suo smiled understandingly, love is a beautiful flower that never fades in a woman's heart, but for the military wife, it is more like a career that needs to be sat upright, how can the situation be good or not?
"Is it good to be a military wife?" The nurse asked with a cute and coquettish tone.Her words were like a ball of string thrown towards the target, but the other end of it was still tightly clutching Yu Suo's spiritual pocket.

Yu Suo turned her head slightly, and the snowflakes falling outside the window came directly into her eyes, and some of her deepest memories came to her like snowflakes.Before she was admitted to the hospital, she planned to be a writer for herself for a month during the month of treatment.

The sudden heavy snowfall last night made her suddenly feel that she had experienced a change and exchange between the prosperous age and the end of the world. Any awakening is enough to bring tears to the eyes.But the reshaping after awakening is like a prairie fire.

It was this germination that urged her to follow Hu Chuanlong's lead and go to the Fourth Hospital of City A. When the doctor checked and suspected that Yu Suo might be suffering from hepatitis, he followed Hu Chuanlong and took her to Jianghan North Road. sick hospital.In the end, she was diagnosed with jaundice hepatitis and had to be treated in isolation for a month.

In fact, if the hepatitis disease is not contagious, Yu Suo would not want to treat it at all. This minor illness and pain is really nothing to her. Her body has already developed a strong immunity to pain in the harsh living environment. .

She believes that there is a very fascinating, secret and tender relationship between people, with a kind of spiritual fanatic power, making a stranger with new strength, new compassion, use his own inner He chooses and rejects other people's experience by feeling, and turns it into his own unique wisdom, connecting him with the whole human being and the whole society.Just like Song Daming to her, like this young nurse in front of her.

"Do your parents agree with you marrying a soldier?" Yu Suo asked with a smile.

The nurse blushed: "Falling in love is a matter between two people..."

Yu Suo nodded: "Just like me back then, once a woman falls in love with a person, she is determined. I used to go all the way to him because of him, even disregarding my aunt's upbringing..."

The nurse wanted to laugh and question, but she couldn't relate to the crazy image of such a quiet woman resisting marriage and elopement.

"Now, I understand that marriage will be happier only with the blessing of my parents, but I didn't understand it back then." Yu Suo was thinking, and fell into the decision in 1991.

2
In early July 1991, Yusuo became the focus of envy for the first time in No. 7 Cotton Spinning Factory, and then fell into the vortex of right and wrong discussions.

The reason why everyone is envious is that the factory director praised Comrade Zhao Yusuo at the 2000-person staff meeting. The operation method has gradually formed its own unique operation technique style of "fast speed, short leads, small movements, and high quality" and the method of "three diligence and two quickness".After working for many years, various production indicators have always been among the best. Whether it is touring, cleaning, or wrapping and jointing, in hundreds of random tests, there is no operational defect in quality.

Even the pretentious aunt Yang Jingjing, who has worked in the No. 20 factory for more than [-] years, has never received such an honor.While the factory manager was drinking water on the stage, the workers in the audience pointed and focused their eyes on Yu Suo. Yu Suo lowered his head to his chest in embarrassment, and plucked the hair hanging in front of him with both hands back and forth.On the other hand, the aunt Yang Jingjing was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, she said quietly: "You finally gave me some relief. I begged my grandpa to sue my grandma to get you in." Comrade Zhao Yusuo is the team leader and workshop coach of the spinning workshop.

If the factory manager didn't announce it like this, Yu Suo would at best be just a quiet little girl in the factory who was clever and calm, and no one would pay attention to her taciturn!When the factory manager made such an announcement, everyone suddenly felt that there was some kind of special brilliance in this little girl. In a large factory with 2000 employees, how many people with deep roots have been integrated here. At best, they can only get a retirement salary of an ordinary worker after a busy life!And this little girl who is only 24 years old has two jobs at once!

If the factory manager hadn't made such a decision, there wouldn't be so many well-meaning auntie-level colleagues chasing after Yang Jingjing to introduce someone to her niece Yusuo, and Yang Jingjing wouldn't be eager to express that she wanted Liu Yusuo to be her daughter-in-law However, Yu Suo would not be so resolute when he was 24 years old, giving up his good development in a thousand-person factory and defecting to a field army on the edge of the Tengger Desert where Hu Chuanlong belonged.

"Don't ask me, don't ask me, she disappeared, I don't know if she's alive or dead!" A week later, Yang Jingjing's face was ashen, and she waved her hands from afar, avoiding everyone's suspicious eyes like driving away a group of mosquitoes and flies.Facing the inquiry from the factory manager, she even shed tears of grievance and sadness, "What can I do? She...she is just like her mother, desperately looking for her love. Well, yes, she is a soldier. Alas, I have said a lot of good things, but she can't listen to a word, and it will be too late when she regrets crying!"

After the meeting ended that day, some aunties gathered around Yang Jingjing to congratulate her. They said that Yu Suo is 24 years old, can you introduce someone?No matter how good the girl is, she is still someone else's person. Don't stay here and stay as an old girl, or as an enemy.Yusuo felt that everyone was just making a few jokes and didn't take it to heart.But Yang Jingjing's smile froze on her face, and she specially asked for half a day off to avoid these jokes.

Yang Jingjing knew in her heart that these words were not all jokes, but a kind of temptation. At the time of Yusuo, she begged her grandpa to tell her grandma to arrange her niece to work in the No. 20 National Cotton Factory. When she was just [-] years old, many people flattered her. Said that the niece she trained was warm and sensible, beautiful like her, able to endure hardships and manage the house.They took advantage of the fine lines at the corners of Yang Jingjing's eyes to smile into bright flowers, so they proposed to introduce someone to Yusuo while the iron was hot.No matter how good the other party's family is, no matter how promising the man is, Yang Jingjing always shakes her head and says that Yu Suo is still young and can't climb high.Such a polite refusal is of course not good for people to say anything.Now Yusuo is not young, it's time to start a family, and it's time to open the skylight and speak honestly.

When Yusuo came home from get off work, Yang Jingjing had prepared a table of sumptuous dishes neatly, and her cousin and uncle were sitting at the table discussing something enthusiastically.

Yu Suo hurriedly got into the kitchen to help his aunt scoop out the chicken soup in the crock and serve it to the table.

My aunt wiped her hands with her apron, but her eyes never left Yusuo.She said: "In a room full of people, Yusuo is the one who does things. You sit there like a stone mill, boasting, and no one tells me to help me."

"I want to help you speak up." The uncle said, "Who doesn't know that you love one in your heart and dislike two." He bumped his son intimately, "Get wine, get wine. Two glasses of wine for one meal, live to 99 .”

Yu Suo was slightly worried about his toes, and took out the white wine from the closet.

The uncle took a sip of the wine, smacked his lips, and said contentedly: "Look at how you live this day, how comfortable you are!" The chopsticks reached into the soup bowl, and picked up a chicken leg.

My aunt knocked off the chicken leg that my uncle picked up, and said angrily: "My girl is promising and has become a workshop instructor. This chicken leg should be rewarded to her." She scooped another chicken leg in the soup bowl with chopsticks for a while, picked up another chicken leg and put it on the table. In the bowl of his son Yao Dingfa, "This kid has to go to night college tonight, so he needs to make up for it."

Although my uncle is just a boiler worker, he is easy-going and optimistic by nature, likes poetry and songs, and is easy to be satisfied.Seeing this, he shook his head and said, "Oh, tomorrow I catch a chicken and I will ask the teacher: Why don't you grow three legs?"

"How many legs does a chicken have?" Yao Dingfa was stunned, "Don't chickens have four legs?"

Yu Suo laughed and leaned on the edge of the table: "I didn't expect my cousin to be joking!"

Yang Jingjing glared at her husband and said, "Soon the children are grown up, and more and more people are introducing women to Yusuo. Some are teachers, some are doctors. I didn't agree. Why?" Until all eyes were on her She said complacently, "Because I want to leave her to me."

As soon as Yang Jingjing finished speaking, Yao Dingfa glanced at Yusuo happily, lowered his head, and kept shaking his feet excitedly under the table, while Yusuo dropped his chopsticks from his hands in shock.But my uncle continued his humor in a calm manner: "You said more than ten years ago that you wanted to raise a girl, and I knew you were raising a daughter-in-law just by looking at your partiality!"

Yusuo picks up the chopsticks from the ground with some hesitation, and musters up the courage to say, "Aunt—"

Yang Jingjing grabbed a piece of paper towel and threw it to Yusuo, asking Yusuo to wipe the chopsticks.Such concern made Yu Suo's courage disappear, and he swallowed the words when they reached his lips.

"You have to ask, is Yu Suo willing?" Uncle gnawed on a chicken paw nonchalantly.

Yang Jingjing squinted at her husband: "Aren't you talking nonsense? Yu Suo is the child I brought up from, from that, that, what is it called Huaowan Mountain Village. We are closer than mother and daughter. You can ask her if she is willing to leave Me? Are you willing to leave this house?" She turned her smiling face to Yusuo like a sunflower, "Tell me, Yusuo!"

"If, if I don't date my cousin, do I have to leave this house?" Yu Suo said awkwardly, "Cousin, cousin, I have always been my brother."

"What? What's wrong with your cousin? The fitter in the unit is still studying in college with pay. He needs culture and technology. He doesn't dislike you. What else can you say?" the aunt shouted hysterically .

The aunt's condescending tone sealed Yu Suo's mouth, but the imbalance surged violently in her heart.She said in her heart, "What's wrong with Huaowan? That's the place that gave her a happy childhood." She believed that there was something in every pine needle, every grain, every leaf, and every flower. Some kind of emotion surged.The men there all know the stories of many generals, and they all have dreams of generals. The women there are all gentle and affectionate, singing folk songs like a river, and all of them can sing without a teacher, and all of them sing very well, whether it is tactful or lingering. Still high-pitched and magnificent.It is much more interesting than going to and from work at these two points. It is said that you live in a big city, but all you can see and live is a circle the size of your palm.

My aunt always reprimands her mother Yang Yingying for her stupidity and Hu Aowan's bad habits, but she doesn't know that her scolding and dissatisfaction have just become the attachment of a five-year-old child who has left home and Yusuo in the new environment. Good memories of growing up in depression.
