military marriage

Chapter 40 The Christmas Carnival (2)
Yu Suo received a red envelope of [-] yuan, a little bit overjoyed and ran to the locker room, changed his work clothes, and prepared to go home to cook a sumptuous dinner. The family of three spent the night together without arguing or arguing.The difference in ideology from the army to the barracks, the frequent calls from his hometown, crying, his father's condition worsening, financial constraints... Various unfavorable factors solidified Chuanlong's heart after losing the battlefield, and he became more and more impatient. He loses his temper more and more, and sometimes throws pots and bowls over trivial matters, and even fights with Yusuo and Yuanyuan.It seems that after taking off his military uniform and leaving the army, he will transfer his battlefield to his family.

Yu Suo sometimes analyzed that it was wrong, Chuanlong was getting more and more wrong, more and more rooted like his father.

Yu Suo thought about it, and shivered suddenly.But after thinking about it, beggars have three days of age, not to mention Christmas Eve is very popular nowadays. In the days when they gather less and leave more, the poor and the poor mourn all things, the festival has never been taken seriously.This was the first festival they celebrated together after they changed jobs, so they should take it seriously and treat the three hundred yuan as a windfall, and there is nothing wrong with squandering it.

Yu Suo, carrying a sunflower-shaped cloth bag with yellow stripes on a white background, hurried out of the dressing room, ready to take a bus on the crowded street.The cell phone in the bag rang suddenly, and when Yu Suo answered, He Xiangman's voice came: "Wow, Yu Suo, I, He Xiangman!"

"It's you! Have you not gone to the carnival tonight?"

"No. Just wait at the gate of your group, and I will drive over to pick you up!"

"No, no!" Yu Suo instinctively refused, and instinctively looked at his old-fashioned light yellow suit, which was well-regulated and rigid, and was incompatible with wealthy and noble wives, and he had no mentality to face that luxurious scene at all. Preparations and material preparations, thinking about the performance of Xiangman at the Prince Hotel banquet that time, Yu Suo felt guilty for a while, "Don't, don't! Really, I have to go home and cook."

He Xiangman giggled, and she said: "You have been a nanny and a cook for 360 for four days. If you don't be a nanny tonight, your precious heroic husband will starve to death? I'm almost there, see you in 5 minutes !"

After He Xiangman finished speaking, Rong Yusuo looked for a reason to refuse, and hung up the phone.

Yu Suo didn't expect that citizens would attach so much importance to Christmas Eve. The streets and alleys are full of people and cars, and the whole city is blocked by people and cars.

Under He Xiangman's gorgeous white leopard fur coat, a bright red evening dress was indistinct, and her high heels knocked on the ground crisply.

Yu Suo followed Xiangman closely, worried that if she blinked, He Xiangman would disappear from her eyes, and she would become a lost lamb tonight.

He Xiangman walked gracefully in the spacious and well-heated restaurant with carved beams and painted buildings on the third floor.

Many wealthy ladies came to greet He Xiangman. Xiangman smiled and murmured, took off her outer coat, and dressed in a well-crafted evening dress, reflecting her radiant face and the ethereal beauty of her stunning soul. The taste shocked everyone.

Yao Dingfa squeezed to He Xiangman's side from a group of men in suits and leather shoes, took the coat in her hand fawningly, handed it to a waiter, and looked at He Xiangman affectionately: "I saw you thousands of times in the past, today I see you are more loving!"

"Cut! I'm an old couple, and I'm still pretending to talk about whether I like it or not!" Holding a white porcelain tray, He Xiangman began to follow some wives, picking some of their favorite seafood and fruits.Yao Dingfa's gaze followed Xiangman all the time, and the wives complained in low voices that their husbands were far less considerate than Yao Dingfa. They were envious of what magic weapon Yao Dingfa used to make He Xiangman not only look younger, but even more radiant over the years.

This was a feast that shocked Yusuo.

Chicken wings, duck necks, goose wings, duck breasts, chicken gizzards... nearly a hundred kinds of stewed vegetables that she has never seen before;
Drunken-tailed live shrimp, prawns, shrimp tails, mandarin fish, fish nuggets, bream, fat crab... hundreds of kinds of seafood, so beautiful that she couldn't eat her chopsticks;

Trotter soup, pork ribs and lotus root soup, pig head soup, local chicken soup, old duck soup, belly shredded soup... Hundreds of soups stewed in earthen pots;

Tremella soup, lotus seed soup, red date soup... There are nearly a hundred kinds of beauty-enhancing sweet soups;

All kinds of pastries, cakes, and green and fluffy vegetables make Yu Suo overwhelmed;

Taiwan and Hong Kong dragon fruit, American fresh tea, watermelon, orange, banana, orange... only the fruits you can't think of, there are no fruits that are not here;
French chocolates are piled up in the shape of a beautiful mountain with a height of several people. If you are not afraid of getting fat, you can cut them with a knife and a small plate.

There are dozens of drinks on the counter, and the bartender can squeeze them according to your requirements; dozens of wines, the bartender can make them on the spot according to your requirements; there are also dozens of flavors of ice cream, what flavor do you want? The waiter will satisfy you one by one.

On the stage in the middle of the living room, the spring water is shining like pearls.The stars and big names in the art world of this city show their special programs, including Peking Opera, songs, magic, acrobatics...

Everyone watched the show when they were full, and went to eat when they were hungry; when they were full, they took pictures, the star's demeanor, the radiant layout, and the scenery everywhere; when they were tired from running and playing in the heat, they ate ice cream, everyone had a good time , I am so happy.

Such a grand scene has far surpassed Yusuo's fairy tales constructed with dreams and fantasies. An uncontrollable depression and a fresh sense of excitement form a suppressed excitement. She is always worried about making mistakes and making a fool of herself. Except for following behind Xiangman and taking a few fruits, most of the time he just sat there and didn't dare to move.

Yusuo felt that he only belonged to the audience, and he only needed to sit in the forgotten corner and watch silently.And He Xiangman, who was completely integrated into this atmosphere, followed behind Yao Dingfa, toasting from one table to another with a smile, shuttled back and forth non-stop, accepting envious blessings, and at the same time throwing away some sweet words. to the crowd.

Hu Chuanjia was very reluctant to come to this kind of occasion. He felt that the so-called successful man was to put all his vanity on the woman, hide his trivialities, and pretend to be a dignified gentleman. The smiling woman beside the man, It's so bossy and vain.But he had to come. As the president of Wuchen Pharmaceutical Group, he had to come to entertain some important customers.There is no woman around him to show his vulgarity, so he doesn't need to wear a dark suit, so he puts a light yellow jacket on his body casually, showing his health and freedom.

When Hu Chuanjia came to offer a toast to Xiangman and his wife, his eyes fell on Yusuo inadvertently. The tranquility of staying out of things, the faint feminine fragrance and elegance of focusing on stage performances permeated the surrounding area and infected him, as if A ray of breeze, like a little poem, like a piece of light music, flows into his heart.

A familiar memory that seemed to have been familiar instantly ignited Hu Chuanjia.

Hu Chuanjia suddenly came to Yusuo holding a cup, and couldn't restrain his excitement: "Yusuo!" He blurted out without any hesitation, "Yusuo, is that you? Why are you here?"

Following Hu Chuanjia's voice, all eyes focused on Yusuo.The Yao couple who stood up and raised their glasses to welcome Hu Chuanjia did not expect that Hu Chuanjia suddenly changed the toast object and turned around in embarrassment.

Yusuo's face turned red, he couldn't tell if it was surprise, or the surprise of meeting an old man in a foreign land!She wished she could hide in a crack, she was used to staying in a corner, used to being forgotten.The sudden attention will only make her like a frightened rabbit, at a loss as to how to deal with it.

"You...Hu Chuanjia?" Yu Suo stood up and looked at him dumbfounded, "You..." She really wanted to ask him if he had been back to Hu Wawan, "Your mother... miss you so much..."

"Ha, do you really think that you are Guanyin Bodhisattva, who can save the whole world?" Hu Chuanjia decisively cut off the topic of Yusuo, and stopped the memory of the past, "Save yourself first, let yourself out of the sea of ​​suffering before talking about others. Bar?"

Yu Suo lowered his head, a little at a loss.Today, he is rich and powerful, but he is no longer the Hu Chuanjia of the past!Yu Suo was a little angry with himself, that he was short of breath in front of the former rapist.

Ten years of wind and sand made her as beautiful as before, and ten years of suffering did not turn her into a nagging yellow-faced woman!For ten years, she seemed to have been stored in a huge refrigerator in the northwest desert, and once she was taken out, she was as pure and shy as yesterday!

A certain tender spot in Hu Chuanjia's heart was deeply moved by Yu Suo. He stared at her and ordered softly and in a low voice: "Don't talk about the past, don't talk about the future! You and I can quickly become a pair of toasting companions. I believe it is still feasible, right? "

Everyone booed: "That's okay, that's okay! Where did Mr. Hu come from with so many polite words today? You are not like the usual you!"

He Xiangman secretly poked Yusuo, Yusuo stubbornly held up the wine glass, and walked side by side with Hu Chuanjia to the jubilant crowd, her face was blushing and shy, just like rouge.

Yao Dingfa watched Yu Suo change from the initial nervousness to calmness, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

He Xiangman looked at Yao Dingfa, and then at Yusuo. Although her dress was orthodox, the overall outfit of her whole body was full of style. The small corsage on the suit corresponded to the small yellow flower on the slanted shoelaces. , It feels like listening to the distant bagpipes quietly, clear and refreshing.

No wonder Yao Dingfa loved her to the bone at the beginning. Even though she was wearing ordinary clothes, Xiangman could capture this extraordinary feeling from her simple and plain appearance.

In the last program of the carnival night, one of the "Most Brilliant Wifes tonight" will be selected on the spot!He Xiangman's ingenious red evening dress, luxurious white mink coat, red and white, cold and hot, the perfect matching of different clothes makes her stand out.When she took the stage to receive the Hong Kong and Taiwan genuine leather bag worth 880 yuan from the host, she reflected her admiring gaze on Yusuo's face.

At the end of the carnival, He Xiangman became friendly and easy-going towards Yusuo, holding Yusuo's arm, and both of them walked towards the parking lot.

Hu Chuanjia and Yao Dingfa followed behind them to talk about men's topics such as the economy and the country.

He Xiangman sees people deeply and weighs situations. She suddenly felt that although Yusuo is not very beautiful, nor is she a very smart woman, but her beauty and intelligence are well matched to form a unique elegance.Her elegance belongs to this era, a bit casual, and like a sister next door, just a smile, just a look, her civilian elegance, and the mystery of her military wife, just like putting a bunch of uneasiness on the ordinary life. The dazzling but dazzling fireworks will make many men fascinated by her.

The shrewd He Xiangman first judged the situation in his heart, and after many twists and turns, weighed the pros and cons, he easily made the decision to accept Fu Yusuo.

He Xiangman held Yusuo and was about to get into her car when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Hu Chuanjia looking at them, and immediately walked over with Yusuo: "President Hu, why don't you take Yusuo home? I suddenly remembered A document was dropped in the office, we need to go to the office first!"

Hu Chuanjia opened the car door: "I wish for it!"

Yu Suo hesitated, looking at He Xiangman and his wife.

He Xiangman squeezed Yusuo's hand secretly: "Go, Mr. Hu is no longer the superficial guy who used to be a handy guy in the mountain village. He has been a business partner with us for many years, and he is bold and righteous!" He Xiangman pushed Yusuo , "Get in the car, get in the car! I still have to go to the company, and I will have a good talk with you when I have the chance. I am always so timid and stingy, I will be eliminated by society!"

After Hu Chuanjia asked Yusuo's address, he started the car.

Yusuo's mind seemed to be filled with memories, but also seemed to be blank, with nothing.

Yu Suo looked at Hu Chuanjia, but couldn't find a topic to talk about, and was so rigid that he didn't know how to stack them.

This emotion infected Hu Chuanjia. In order to break the dullness, he turned on the TV in the car.

Yu Suo's eyes drifted to the TV. She leaned against the back of the sofa cushion, suddenly stretched straight, staring at the TV screen carefully.

On the screen, a tall figure who occupied her inner world but had long faded out of her real life actually appeared in her field of vision. On the screen, the tall figure was carrying food and oil, and accompanied by a group of staff, entered a Families with lonely elderly people in every household...

The voice of the narrator is like the sound of heaven: "During this night of joyful dancing among thousands of families, Song Daming, Minister of the United Front Work Department of the province, led the relevant staff to send warmth to the lonely and widowed elderly..."

"Song Daming?!" Yu Suo blurted out, looked at Hu Chuanjia who was driving, and hurriedly covered up, "Song... the political commissar is also in this city? Isn't it said that he founded a mansion for demobilized soldiers?"

Hu Chuanjia smiled: "Political Commissar Song? He's not, he's Minister Song!"

Yu Suo couldn't help laughing. When Song Daming was in the Northwest Army, he was indeed the political commissar of Song. She, Chuanlong, and all the officers and soldiers called him that. Now he is in City A, when he is in contact with Hu Chuanjia and some businessmen. It is indeed Minister Song!
Everything in this world is flowing in and out, everything is changing, maybe the only constant is Yu Suo's dream?
Yu Suo's fingertips stroked lightly on the trouser legs, and the fingertips flowed with feelings that Hu Chuanjia could not understand, from the heart to the palm.
