One

The civil official's surname is Hu, and his name is Hu Wei'an, of course, this is the name he gave after he joined the work. Hu Wei'an is a writer and enjoys military treatment. Writer is not an official title, so people call him Writer Hu. Writer Hu is now retired, living in a cadre rest house, enjoying military treatment, and the house is five bedrooms and two living rooms. When people saw Writer Hu's house, they remembered that they were enjoying military treatment.

Writer Hu is very ordinary, he was a civilian soldier when he was in office, and there were no gold and silver beans on the epaulettes, only a flower, symbolizing the difference between civilian and military positions. Civilian positions are not as finely distinguished as military positions, from platoon cadres to military cadres, they all carry a flower on their shoulders, and they can't distinguish between big and small. Therefore, people don't know the level of Writer Hu, and Writer Hu doesn't want people to know this. From his youth to the present, he has been writing tirelessly, and he has become a writer when he writes and writes. This is something he would never have dreamed of when he was herding cattle.

The military general is the deputy commander of the military region, surnamed Fan, called Fan Ye. In the past, before participating in the revolution, he was called Fan Lao, which was not a good name, and the leaders of the Eighth Route Army at that time first frowned when they heard it, and then laughed. Therefore, he was given the name Fan Ye, which means revolutionary cause.

General Fan Ye was a lieutenant general when he was in office, a serious general, and the two golden beans on his shoulders were shining, shaking so much that people couldn't open their eyes. General Fan walked in the barracks, and the junior officers and soldiers all squinted and saluted him - the golden beans on the general's shoulders were too dazzling.

General Fan is very powerful, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and at first glance he is the material for a general. He was born in the army, was born and died, from the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression to the War of Liberation, and to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and the self-defense and counterattack of Zhenbao Island, he participated in them all. The battle trained Fan Ye to become a professional soldier, that is, he took off his military uniform, put on a vest and shorts and stood there, and people recognized him as a soldier at a glance.

General Fan also retired, and General Fan, who did not wear a military uniform, lived in a dry rest house. He is a deputy of the Grand Military Region, lives in a small two-story building, has a special car and is a civil servant. Although General Fan no longer wears a military uniform, the general's building represents everything, as eye-catching as the golden bean he once carried on his shoulders.

The environment around the small building is very quiet, and when people pass by the small building, they can't help but slow down, and even the cough that they can't help but deal with it in the depths of their voices. People know that General Fan lives here, and making a big move is disrespectful to the general.

In his spare time in his later years, when General Fan Ye looked back on the years that had passed for most of his life, he also thought of the days of herding cattle. At that time, he was asked to think about death, and he would not have thought that it would be like this in the future.

General Fan a few decades ago did not look like a general at all. At that time, he was herding cattle on the hillside with his childhood friend, Hu Wei'an.

In his later years, the general and writer Hu often remembered their youth, and the days returned to the past in a trance.

Two

Today's ** and Lao Fan are both born in cattle herding, and the two are not only fellow villagers, but also the same age. They were all about thirteen years old that year. Xiao Hu herded cattle for the Wang family in Qiancun, and Xiao Fan herded cattle for the Li family in Houtun. I don't know when, the two groups of cattle came together, and Xiaohu and Xiaofan also came together. The days of herding cattle were very boring, and the two teenagers got together as companions, talking about the cows and other things, and then watching the cows graze on the hillside carelessly, passing the time unhurriedly.

Xiao Hu and Xiao Fan also lay in the shade under a tree, looking at the white clouds in the sky. They squinted their eyes, their stomachs grunted in their ears, they drank porridge in the morning, and their stomachs deflated after two soasuring pee, and hunger made them imagine the beauty of pie falling from the sky. At this moment, the two teenagers would never dream of what the future would be like, and being able to eat enough was their biggest dream.

They starved until it was dark, and then drove their cattle to the front village and Houtun. When we broke up, we made an appointment to be a companion herd together tomorrow.

If there is no accident, the life of the two people will not change much, and there will be no future that they could never dream of.

It was noon one day, and a cow of the Wang family was pregnant, which attracted a bull of the Wang family and a bull of the Li family to come into heat. Both bulls in heat have red eyes, and they understand that in order to get love, there must be a fierce battle. So, on the hillside, the two bulls took a posture of fighting to the death.

Xiao Hu and Xiao Fan also discovered this change. But they didn't think that the situation would be serious, but felt that the monotonous life finally had a little fun. They stood behind the oxen, shouting and cheering, and even wished that their cattle would be braver. The bulls were clamoured by the men, and the hair on their bodies stood on end, and they opened their eyes in anger and launched an attack on their rivals. The sound of the horns fighting together, and the friction of the skin and flesh, made the two cowherd babies dance excitedly.

Not long after, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the Li family's cow blinded the Wang family's cow in one eye, and blood gushed out along the bull's eye; the Wang family's cow also cut a hole in the Li family's cow, and the skin and flesh were open, and the flesh and blood were blurred. The two of them realized that something was a little serious, not because they felt sorry for the cow, but because they were afraid that they would not be able to deal with the owner when they went back. They desperately tried to separate the two cows, and the red-eyed cows no longer took the cowherd in their eyes. The two cows were entangled, panting heavily, looking like a fish had broken their nets. Finally, after exhausting the last of his strength, he collapsed like two mountains. They fell, their eyes bloody, their mouths foaming at the mouth, and they died of exhaustion.

The two teenagers were stupid and had no idea for a while. They knelt down with pale faces and trembling legs to the dead ox, and cried out in their hearts: "Cow wow, why are you dead?"

They immediately thought of the consequences, the owner would not spare them, and if they lost their cattle, they couldn't afford to lose even if they sold themselves.

They stood there. The other cows smelled blood, howled, and scattered away. The two finally came to their senses, and cried like a dead father. The cow who had stirred up the trouble, gloating, stared at the two bulls lying on the ground with a pair of intoxicated eyes, and then looked at the cowherd baby who was crying with her head in confusion, and walked away innocently wagging her tail.

That same evening, an army dressed in gray came down the mountain. The two of you look at me, I look at you, and they all said: Let's run.

There is no turning back, so I can only walk away. So, taking advantage of the cover of twilight, the two followed the team like two lost dogs and got into the night.

At that time, they couldn't tell what kind of team was in front of them. The rush and hectic can only make them follow the team without any choice.

Many years have passed, and when they think of the revolutionary motives of those years, they themselves will feel a blush and a heartbeat.

This is a team of the Eighth Route Army, and in the past, the teams of the Eighth Route Army were all in the deep mountains and old forests and around the devils. I heard that the Americans threw two *** in Japan's backyard and blew up the Japanese so that they had no intention of fighting. So, the Eighth Route Army came out of the old forest. The two teenagers hit the ground crookedly. It's all such a coincidence.

Three

Two cattle herders, who are also fallen people at the end of the world, joined the Eighth Route Army in this way. They first had their own new names - Hu Wei'an and Fan Ye, two cowherd babies who were used to being called nicknames, and when the leader called their new names, they thought they were calling someone else. When they were convinced that the new name belonged to them, their hearts lit up, and every gesture was different. Since then, herding cattle has embarked on a revolutionary road.

Soon after joining the army, they were received by a regimental commander of the Eighth Route Army. The head of the regiment is surnamed Xiao, and he is known as "Xiao Daring". Commander Xiao looked at the cowherd baby back and forth with his hands behind his back, and the two of them did not have a suitable military uniform, so they only wore the hat of the Eighth Route Army and tied their belts, and generally had the outline of a small Eighth Route Army. But the two children looked too thin and too small for their age. Captain Xiao looked left and right, then took a spear and shouted at Fan Ye: Fan Ye took the gun.

After he shouted so, he threw the spear into Fan Ye's arms. Fan Ye went to pick up the gun, but before he could hold the eight-and-a-half-pound gun, he fell down with the gun, causing the lively people to laugh and bend over. Commander Xiao used the same method to test Hu Wei'an, Hu Wei'an was prepared, so he was not knocked down by the gun, but took a few steps back with the gun and sat on the ground. Hu Wei'an hugged the spear and cried all of a sudden, and he said while crying: Chief, why is this gun so heavy.

Commander Xiao laughed, pulled them up from the ground one by one, patted the back of the two of them on the head and said: You are all good materials, but you can't fight now, so let's be the seeds of the revolution first.

The "seeds of revolution" that Commander Xiao spoke of did not understand what was going on until they arrived in Yan'an. At that time, there were many such revolutionary seeds in Yan'an, and they studied military affairs and culture together. Yan'an is the rear of the revolution, an experimental field, planting them on the land of Yan'an, and cultivating them from small grass into towering trees.

In their study and life in Yan'an, the two naturally showed their respective interests.

Hu Wei'an likes to read and write, and shows superhuman ability in this regard, recognizing those square words and remembering them. Before joining the revolution, he had the experience of learning culture. When herding cattle for the owner, the owner hired a private school teacher to teach his children to read and write at home, and he sometimes eavesdropped on his ears. At that time, he was already able to memorize the "Three Character Classic" very well. When the proprietor saw that he was eavesdropping, he took his ear and scolded him. When the cattle were herded, the people were there, and the heart had already run to the teacher. Now that there is an opportunity to learn, like a thirsty man who has come across a well, he plunges headlong into it.

Fan Ye is different. He didn't like to take cultural classes, and he had a headache when he was in class, and he felt that those words were like ants, burrowing into his head and biting indiscriminately, which made him have a splitting headache, but in military class he seemed to be at ease. After eating a few full meals, Fan Ye gained some strength, and the eight-and-a-half-pound gun was already able to be safely held in his arms. He likes to shoot, and he likes to throw bullets, and he can shoot guns very accurately and throw bullets far away.

So, Fan Ye often had nothing to do, and said to Hu Wei'an: Come, let's try to compete.

Hu Wei'an couldn't compete with Fan Ye in this regard, and it didn't take long for him to lose. Hu Wei'an looked at Fan Ye in surprise and said: You kid has a lot of skills.

Fan Ye didn't speak, just smiled confidently.

It was at that time that the two found their respective futures at the fork in the road of life.

The Japanese surrendered. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party stopped cooperating, and each of them was about to grab territory. As a result, the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party broke away from the name of the Kuomintang and became the People's Liberation Army.

It was a sunny day, destined to be written into the history of the Republic. The troops hoarded in Yan'an set off, and they were going to go on the road to liberate all of China.

Fan Ye and Hu Wei'an marched with the large army under the stars and nights, and marched into the South Manchurian and Northern Manchurian areas in the northeast, and participated in famous battles such as Sibao Linjiang. Both of them made rapid progress, and Fan Ye thrived in the baptism of battle - first as a squad leader, then as a platoon commander, and when he became a platoon leader, he was not yet seventeen years old. Hu Wei'an also became a war correspondent, carrying an interview book, shuttling through various battlefields, writing out one heroic deed after another, and publishing them in the war newspaper.

On the eve of the famous Liaoshen Campaign, the two met. Fan Ye was already a well-known company commander, and when he saw Hu Wei'an, he caught his hand and shook his anger: This battle was too enjoyable, and he eliminated Lao Jiang Baqian, hehe, it's really fucking enjoyable.

Hu Wei'an grinned and pulled out his hand and said: Tell me about your company, I came this time to do an interview.

Fan Ye said: What deeds are not deeds, don't talk to me in a crepe, I don't understand. Isn't it just a war, as long as you are not afraid of death, just load the magazine and rush forward.

So, the two of them sat under a tree that had been blown up beyond recognition by a cannonball, and chatted about the past.

Fan Ye took out the fried soybeans from the dry food bag, grabbed a handful and stuffed it to Hu Wei'an, and grabbed a handful himself, and the two chattered while chewing and talking about the war. The commander-in-chief of their four fields loves to eat fried soybeans, and these junior officers have also learned to eat soybeans.

Soon, the heroic deeds of the Fan Ye company were published in the Battlefield. Many people know the name of Fan Ye, and Fan Ye has become famous, from the collective title of the troops led by Fan Ye awarded by the superiors, you can see the footprints of Fan Ye's growth - first the hero company, then the hard-headed battalion, and finally the ace regiment. Fan Ye was naturally the company commander, battalion commander, and regiment commander who came all the way.

Fan Ye has become the best material for Hu Wei'an's tracking and reporting.

Four

During the war years, although the two had different division of labor, their goal was the same, that is, to overthrow the Chiang dynasty and establish New China. Fan Ye led his troops to fight, fought battle after battle, and there was never an end. Hu Wei'an wrote articles, all of which were related to the war and Fan Ye. The troops led by Fan Ye are a team of heroes, and Fan Ye's name often appears in Hu Wei'an's articles, which are published in the Battlefield. Fan Ye and his heroic collective became famous day after day.

The two met again in the middle of the war. After the end of a battle, there are many heroes and classic examples that Hu Wei'an needs to report. And the rest and recuperation of the troops is again preparing for a bigger and more vicious battle. At this time, Hu Wei'an was the busiest time. He was sweating profusely and appeared in front of Fan Ye steaming. Fan Ye grabbed his hand, making Hu Wei'an grin again. The two came to a secluded place, and Fan Ye asked the guards to bring the canned food and wine they had taken from Lao Jiang. Fan Ye grinned, laughed, and said: Hu pen, hard work, I will treat you today. The two of them ate and drank unceremoniously. After a few glasses of wine, the two of them turned red-faced, forgetting their identities at this time, unbuttoning their clothes, and lying on their backs on the grass, as if they had returned to the days of herding cattle in the past.

Fan Ye looked at the white clouds moving in the sky, and said with a smile: "This dog, I didn't expect that I was the head of the regiment, and you have become a big pen."

Hu Wei'an also looked at the clouds in the sky, his eyes were more profound and content, and he sighed: These are the days.

Fan Ye didn't know what to remember, he got up from the grass, looked at Hu Wei'an with red eyes, and said: What kind of strength do you have with this pole?

Hu Wei'an held a piece of grass in his mouth, shook his head and said: Fan Ye, you don't understand this, this is called different division of labor, each has its own pursuit.

Fan Ye pouted and said: What is the pursuit? Tell you Hu Wei'an, you have to learn to fight, what does it mean to run with the team if you don't fight. Are you a deputy or a regular company now?

Hu Wei'an said haha: The division of labor is different, regardless of the level of position.

Fan Ye saw that Hu Wei'an lost his temper for a while, sighed and lay down again, and said with foresight: Put away your pen and learn to fight with me. You come to me, I'll give you a battalion commander to do, what's the matter?

Hu Wei'an said very politely: My battle is my pen, and I have my own battlefield.

Fan Ye patted his thigh bitterly and said: Oh, when New China is established, it will be rewarded for meritorious deeds. You said that you have been holding a pen all day long, writing and poking, and you have never fought a single battle or killed an enemy, so why should you be rewarded?

Hu Wei'an smiled indifferently: The division of labor is different, you have your battlefield, and I have my world.

Fan Ye saw that he couldn't move Hu Wei'an, so he didn't say anything. The two of them sat up again, gritted their teeth and drank wine, and talked about some things about their youth. If it weren't for the two bulls in heat, how could they be where they are today?

The friendship between the two is long-lasting, and after ten days and a half of not seeing each other, they miss each other very much. Sometimes they occasionally meet on the battlefield, but it is a fierce battle, and Fan Ye leads the soldiers to kill the enemy. At this time, he saw Hu Wei'an, who was walking through the rain of bullets, his helmet fell somewhere, and the bullets in front of him and behind him whizzed over Hu Wei'an's head. Fan Ye screamed and pounced. He put his helmet on Hu Wei'an's head. They didn't have time to speak, they just hugged tightly, and Fan Ye said: Take care. Hu Wei'an also said to Fan Ye: Waiting for the news of your victory.

The two teenagers' companions stared at each other and disappeared into the smoke of gunpowder.

After the end of the three major battles, the great man Mao ** shouted a slogan in Hunan-style Mandarin on the tower of Tiananmen Gate in Beijing: The People's Republic of China was founded-

Thus, there was a miracle in the East of the world. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek led the remnants to flee to the isolated island of Taiwan. Although there is no big battle to fight, the troops are not idle, and they still have to suppress bandits and maintain the security and stability of the newly born new Chinese regime. Fan Ye was already the head of the ace regiment at this time, and he was very famous in the whole army, and was cordially received by Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu. Hu Wei'an is also a well-known journalist, and after his deeds were collected by other reporters, they were ceremoniously published in the newspaper. Hu Wei'an also became famous, and the civilian, official and military generals were extraordinary for a while.

Not long after, the famous War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea broke out, and famous journalists and famous ace regimental commanders participated in the war together. On the Korean battlefield, they still met in between battles, and when they met again, they were even more enthusiastic than at home, first hugging and then eating fried noodles, and sometimes they could get some condolences from the motherland and fight tooth sacrifices. The first thing the two said when they met was: I really miss home.

The home they are talking about is the motherland, and the motherland is for them the hillside where the teenager herds cattle - the hillside in their memory is verdant.

Both of them are in their thirties, and in addition to fighting wars and interviews, they haven't taken care of starting a family. They have no parents at a very young age, and their understanding of home is concrete and concrete, and abstract and abstract.

The two thought of home together in a foreign country, but they didn't have more time to get homesick and immediately threw themselves into a new battle. One led the troops to fight, and the other led the art troupe to do agitation work.

Soon after entering the DPRK, Hu Wei'an was appointed by the army as the head of the military art troupe, not only writing, but also taking male and female soldiers who can sing and dance to the front line to express condolences and propaganda, and the task is very heavy. Both of them are very busy, and when they meet, they just cherish each other, and they go their separate ways. Hu Wei'an became a writer in the baptism of artillery fire, and a number of reportages, long newsletters, and novels reflecting the arduous war on the Korean battlefield were continuously published in domestic newspapers and periodicals. His works make people's hearts surging and their blood boiling.

Fan Ye is already the commander of the division, leading his division to be invincible and invincible on the battlefield.

Later, the division of the army returned to China. As soon as they set foot on the land of their motherland, the two invariably felt that they were not young and that it was time to start a family.

Five

Master Fan Ye already has a plan in mind about his life events. He fell in love with Xiao Yue, who was young and beautiful and could sing and dance well in the Shiwen Art Troupe. Xiao Yue was a student soldier who enlisted after the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. When he was in North Korea, as long as Xiao Yue came to the front line to give a condolence performance, Master Fan would always move the Mazha under his ass to the closest place to Xiao Yue. In his eyes, Xiao Yue was the only one left.

Once, he said to Hu Wei'an beside him: What is the name of this girl in your art troupe?

Hu Wei'an said: Xiaoyue, a student soldier, is young and smart.

Fan Ye looked at Xiao Yue carefully with a pair of eyes, and said over and over again: Hey, this girl, look at this girl......

The appearance of Xiaoyue made Fan Ye upside down and unhappy. As long as he was in between battles, he asked Hu Wei'an to pull the art troupe up for a performance, and then squeezed to the front by himself, staring at Xiao Yue with good eyes. For Fan Ye, who went crazy, Hu Wei'an didn't find anything sensitively, thinking that Master Fan was interested in literature and art. He was thinking in his heart that Fan Ye also had literary and artistic cells, and if he had been more literate at the beginning, he would have been a literary and artistic worker.

After returning to China, Fan Ye and Hu Wei'an are both in their thirties, and it is imminent to start a family. Just do it, Fan Ye didn't want to wait any longer.

In the evening, he asked the cooking squad to fry a few more dishes and opened a few American cans captured from the Korean battlefield. When he was ready, he asked the guards to bring in Hu Wei'an. Two old comrades-in-arms pushed the cup and changed the lamp under the peaceful sky.

After a few glasses of wine, Fan Ye snorted wine and said: Don't fight anymore, now it's okay, my old Fan is going to get married and start a family. Huh, do you think this is good?

Hu Wei'an said: Wow, I think so too. The revolution has succeeded, and we should all live our lives.

Fan Ye didn't care about Hu Wei'an's thoughts, and followed his own train of thought, only the young Xiaoyue was left in his heart at this time. So, he said: Hu Wow, what do you say about that girl, if she follows my old fan, she will not be wrong in the future.

Hu Wei'an's wine strength also came up, Lao Fan said for a long time, he didn't know who the girl was, so he squinted his eyes and asked: Who is the girl you are talking about?

Old Fan laughed, stretched out his hand, patted Hu Wei'an's shoulder, and said while patting: Look at you, the head of the art troupe, you don't know who I like in your troupe. You're a fool.

The two of them then clinked glasses and dried. This time, ** is even more confused, the alcohol has made his brain unable to turn. He asked dementedly: Who is that girl?

Lao Fan said loudly: It's Xiao Yue, you don't even see this, my Lao Fan has already targeted her.

Fan Ye's words made Hu Wei'an slam and sober up most of the time. He shook his head, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and hurriedly asked again: Who are you talking about?

Lao Fan slapped his hands again**: It's Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue of your art troupe. Captain Hu, Captain Hu, you don't know Xiaoyue?

The wine is completely sobered up, and after the wine wakes up, I don't know what to do. He stared at Lao Fan in a daze, and thought to himself: Why did Master Fan also like Xiao Yue? Convinced that it was all true, he was so sad that he wanted to cry.

**I also fancy Xiaoyue. After Xiao Yue came to the art troupe, he secretly liked her and liked her intelligence and beauty. At that time, he often wrote poems about war and love, which Xiao Yue recited with affection. As soon as Xiao Yue recited the poems, he felt that those poems were no longer poems, as if they had become elves, surging in his blood.

He is the head of Xiao Yue, and when he has more contact opportunities, he has been pressing his emotions and constantly persuading himself in his heart: there will be rice, there will be bread, Xiao Yue is by his side, and it will definitely belong to me in the future.

In those days, ** carried great love in his heart and devoted himself to condolence performances and writing. Many famous passages were written at that time, and they became famous because of those articles.

He didn't expect that Master Fan also fell in love with Xiao Yue. One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and if Xiaoyue marries Master Fan, he can't marry himself, this is an obvious truth. After he came to his senses, he said helplessly and infinitely sadly: Fan, can you change someone else, anyone can do it, I will do the work.

Lao Fan didn't know how to pat **'s shoulder again, and then drank two glasses of wine in a row, and said with red eyes: I just fell in love with Xiaoyue, and no one is good. If you can't marry Xiaoyue, what's the point of living.

At this time, ** was completely calm, and he thought of the two bulls in heat on the hillside, and the fight for love. He thought of people from Niu, thought of himself and Lao Fan, and his heart was pounding. If he didn't quit at this time, Lao Fan might pull out the gun in his waist and point it at himself, although he also had a gun, but he didn't want to draw a gun with Lao Fan in this matter. Finally, he said infinitely sadly: That girl is that girl.

Lao Fan listened, his emotions reached **, and he laughed: Hu Wow, that's right. You will be my matchmaker, you will be the matchmaker, I can rest assured.

After speaking, Lao Fan seemed to find that ** was depressed, so he said: Did you also fall in love with Xiaoyue?

** smiled miserably at Lao Fan.

Lao Fan waved his hand with a big grin: You are the head of the art troupe, and there are so many young female comrades in your hands, what a big deal it is to change one. Do you say yes, hahaha-

** I said with a groan: Fan, why don't you change it.

This is what he said in his heart. He knows Lao Fan too well, and Lao Fan has developed the habit of saying nothing after so many years of fighting. Besides, Lao Fan is the commander of a division and his superior, and the words of his superiors are orders, and he cannot disobey them.

A few days later, he found Xiao Yue with a sad brow and a worried heart. After Xiao Yue returned to China, after a period of rest, he became more beautiful. She was humming a song in her mouth, waiting for Captain Hu to express her love to herself.

On this day, Head Hu pushed open the door of her dormitory. She thought: love has finally come. For a moment, his face was red to the base of his ears, his heart was beating like a drum, and his hands were fiddling with his braids over and over again.

Captain Hu looked at Xiao Yue, and his heart hurt, but he still said: Xiao Yue, I have something to tell you today.

Xiao Yue lowered his head and said softly: Say it.

She had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.

Head Hu sighed and said: Someone has taken a fancy to you and wants to marry you.

Xiao Yue thought to himself: Captain Hu is really good, if you like it, why do you go around such a big circle. Her heart was beating wildly, waiting for happiness to come.

Captain Hu said sadly: It was Master Fan who wanted to marry you, and he said that he would not marry you.

Xiao Yue's eyes widened in surprise. The sky of her love world fell, and it took a long time to understand, and she said in a trembling voice: Why is he, then you......

Commander Hu's heart was in a mess, but he still sank and said: Xiao Yue, Master Fan is the head of the first division.

Speaking of this, Captain Hu felt that this was not in line with the identity of the matchmaker at all, so he said a lot of good things about Master Fan. Xiao Yue listened to Captain Hu's words, and there seemed to be countless flies flying in his ears, buzzing. She thought that Captain Hu didn't love herself, and the good feeling she had before was just an illusion of herself. After thinking so, her hopes for love were dashed. Since the person you love doesn't love you, it's the same with whoever you marry. When she joined the army, she gave her future and life to the organization, and now she has also handed over her marriage to the organization.

Soon, Xiao Yue married Master Fan.

On the day of the wedding, a banquet was indispensable, and there were the leaders of Master Fan and his subordinates. **In Lao Fan's mind, he is a very important person, so ** can't be absent.

That day, Lao Fan drank a lot of wine, and he also drank a lot. As soon as he saw Xiao Yue standing beside Master Fan, his heart felt as uncomfortable as a thousand arrows piercing his heart. He grabbed the wine and drank it, and when others didn't clink glasses with him, he drank it himself. Lao Fan and Xiao Yue appeared in front of him, and when they toasted the matchmaker, he saw Xiao Yue's tearful appearance and got drunk. After a dry drink, he collapsed with a thud.

Not long after Lao Fan and Xiao Yue got married, ** married Xiao Jin in the group. Xiao Jin is not as beautiful as Xiao Yue, they enlisted in the same city in the same year. Before enlisting in the army, the two were classmates and had a good relationship.

After getting married, Xiao Jin once asked**: Don't you like Xiao Yue, why did you marry me?

**Pinch his head with his hand and say infinitely sadly: Don't say it, don't say it, I have a headache.

Xiao Jin smiled at **.

Six

At the wedding of Writer Hu and Xiao Jin, Master Fan came with his new wife Xiao Yue. Xiao Yue still didn't seem to have come out of lovelorn, and his expression was a little sad. When Writer Hu saw Xiao Yue's appearance, his heart tingled. He and Master Fan fought wine, bowl after bowl. When he reached a certain level, Master Fan patted Writer Hu on the shoulder: Hu Wow, we can have today, I didn't expect Wow.

Writer Hu blindfolded his eyes and said: Yes, if it wasn't for the beginning, how could there be today.

He glanced at Xiao Yue, and then at Xiao Jin beside him, and felt more emotion in his heart.

Master Fan's laughter was very bold and hearty, and Writer Hu also laughed, laughing and laughing but shedding tears. Master Fan said: "Hu Wow, look at you, you don't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness, why are you crying? Xiaoyue is already pregnant, you should hurry up, maybe we can still get married."

Writer Hu wiped away his tears, patted his chest and said: That is, if we give birth to boys, they are brothers, if we are all girls, they are sisters, and if we are a boy and a girl, we will be in-laws.

When the two women saw the men patting their chests and saying something affectionate and righteous, they also hid aside and whispered.

During that time, Master Fan was very happy, his face was full of red light, and he greeted people with a smile. He can often see Writer Hu, and as soon as he sees Writer Hu, he squints, looks at the sun in the sky and says: It's a good day when there is no war, and I sleep peacefully with my wife in my arms every day. I've been here for three months, what's wrong with you?

Writer Hu understood that he was asking Xiao Jin about conceiving a child. Writer Hu hooked his head and said embarrassedly: Xiao Jin is also pregnant.

Hahaha - Master Fan slapped Writer Hu on the shoulder heavily, and Writer Hu grinned in pain.

During this period, the art troupes at the army and division levels received orders to revoke them. This level of art troupe was temporarily formed for the Korean War. The war was over, and so many art troupe members obviously became a burden on the troops, so the higher authorities issued an order to revoke the establishment of the army and division art troupes. Xiao Yue did not want to go to the local work, and wanted to stay in the army, when she was eight months pregnant. Division Commander Fan patted his head and thought for a while, then grabbed the phone and called the chief of staff of the military region in charge of the establishment, and the chief of staff of the military region was the regimental commander Xiao who changed his name back then. Division Commander Fan said that Xiao Yue wanted to stay in the army and continue to fight, and Chief of Staff Xiao said on the phone: Isn't it just an establishment, no problem. Xiao Fan, do a good job, you're still young.

Soon, Xiao Yue went to report to the Art Troupe of the Military Region with a big belly, and continued to give full play to her expertise in singing and dancing.

Writer Hu's wife, Xiao Jin, also wanted to continue fighting in the army, and she told Writer Hu her thoughts. Writer Hu rubbed his hands, turned around the room twice, and said: We can't compare with Xiao Yue. Division Commander Fan has many friends, and he is familiar with all the leaders of the military region; I am engaged in cultural work, and these people I know do not care about the establishment. You should change jobs and obey the assignment.

Xiao Jin was disappointed, and after she sighed "Xiao Yue has a good life and married a good man", she changed jobs and went to the trade union of a local factory to engage in propaganda. On the day of reporting, she also left two lines of tears to say goodbye to the troops.

A few months later, Xiao Yue gave birth, a boy, and took a popular and famous name: Fan Xingfu. It can be seen how satisfied and sweet Master Fan's mood was at that time. Not long after, Xiao Jin also gave birth, a girl. Writer Hu gave his daughter a very literary and cultural name: Hu Yi. Not long after the child was born, Fan Ye made a phone call. At this time, Writer Hu had been transferred to the Art Troupe of the Military Region as a creative worker, and he was truly engaged in creation.

Fan Ye shouted on the phone: In-laws, I am a boy, you are a girl, we are kissing each other this time.

Writer Hu haha: No, it's really what you said.

Fan Ye said happily: If people are smooth, they can come whatever they want. Wow, don't you say?

Writer Hu thought of Xiao Yue again, now both of them are working in the art troupe, looking down and not looking up, although it has been so long, and he has a child, but when he saw Xiao Yue's eyes, his heart still trembled. Thinking of this, he could only smile "hehe" on the phone. In the end, Fan Ye said in a humming voice: This dog day is really good. After speaking, he hung up the phone with a "bang", which shook Writer Hu's ears and buzzed.

Fan Ye was really smooth, and on the day his son Fan Xingfu turned one year old, he became a military commander.

The news also reached the ears of Writer Hu and Xiao Jin. Xiao Jin sighed at Writer Hu: Look at how good Xiao Yue's life is, he married a high cadre all of a sudden.

Writer Hu was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. At that time, Xiao King Kong left the army, and he was still guilty of unrequited love for the troops, and he didn't like anything. Writer Hu is a cultural person, and he understands Xiaojin's thoughts, so he follows her in everything.

Xiao Yue has also changed these days. When she saw Writer Hu, her eyes were no longer so cloudy, but became clear and boundless. As soon as Writer Hu saw Xiao Yue's eyes, his heart no longer trembled. His feelings finally calmed down. Thinking of Xiao Jin and his daughter, he accepted his fate and felt that there was nothing wrong with being like this now.

Xiao Yue also often looks happy, and when he sees Writer Hu, he said in a clear voice: **, when do you have time to come to sit at home, our old Fan always talks about you.

Writer Hu haha: I must go when I have time, Xiaojin misses you too, you sisters have to come and go often.

When it comes to Xiao Jin, Xiao Yue's heart has a lot of flavor. One continued to fight in the troops, the other went to the place, and now the child is small, and he is busy with his eyes until dark. She hadn't seen Xiao Jin for a long time, and she was determined to get together.

But having said that, I still haven't found the right time for the two families to get together. As a result, the idea of a meeting can only stay in words.

Fan Ye became a military commander and had more things to worry about. Today I went to the military region for a meeting, and tomorrow I went to inspect the troops, and I was very busy. But he was happy in his heart, with a smile and happiness on his face, and when he saw people, he said: What do you want to do with this day?

After Hu Wei'an became a professional writer, he devoted himself to creation, and often published articles in national newspapers and periodicals. His fame grew day by day, and he received letters from enthusiastic readers every now and then. When Writer Hu read these letters, he was also boundless happy. Looking at Mrs. Xiaojin and her daughter who are growing up, I also sighed in my heart over and over again.

Xiao Jin also feels happy and satisfied most of the time, but occasionally when he thinks of Fan Ye or Xiao Yue, he will let out a long sigh: Xiao Yue is still a good person, and he can live whatever he wants.

When Writer Hu heard this, he felt something different in his heart.

Seven

Although Fan Ye and Hu Wei'an did not meet often, every once in a while, Fan Junchang would ask Hu to go out of the city and hunt in the mountains. Fan Junchang is used to dancing with knives and guns, and his hands are itchy when he can't find a chance to shoot for a long time, so he always has to find an opportunity to put a few shots. Hunting is an imaginary war in peacetime.

Writer Hu was confined to his house all day writing, and the hustle and bustle of the city made him feel impetuous. What's more, as soon as he walks into the mountains, he will be reminded of the unforgettable cattle herding time in his youth. For some reason, he was thrilled when he remembered that time.

When Fan Junchang went out hunting on weekends, he always called Writer Hu. Naturally, Commander Fan is not alone when he goes out, and the guards are indispensable, carrying guns and dry food for Commander Fan. The car is an off-road jeep, and after a while it goes out of town, and after a while it goes into the mountains.

As soon as the two entered the mountain, they rolled down the car window, looked at the green of the mountain, and smelled the breath of the mountain. Fan Ye shook his nose, took a deep breath, and shouted at the mountain: Damn, it's so fucking comfortable-

Hu Wei'an was much more subtle when he expressed his feelings, only feeling that his nose was sour, his eyes were hot, and he sighed in his heart.

If they're lucky, they'll be able to hit pheasants, hares, or whatever. If it was still early, Commander Fan ordered the guards to gather some dry firewood and roast the prey fresh on the hillside. Alcohol is indispensable, and the guards have long brought it. They ate game, drank liquor, and chatted casually. When it comes to the days of herding cattle, the two sigh fate; when they talk about a certain battle, they awaken their comradeship; and when it comes to their wives and children, they are commensurate with their in-laws. Their friendship is like a rolling river, and when it comes to emotion, the two put their shoulders on their shoulders and call for brothers.

It wasn't until the sun went down that the two of them took the car back to the city.

This trip to the wilderness made Writer Hu still excited to return home. He told Xiaojin about the magnificence of the mountains and the freshness of the wild things, and finally talked about Commander Fan and the relationship between the two. Writer Hu said that his blood was boiling and he couldn't suppress his feelings, but Xiao Jin seemed very calm. She looked at Writer Hu and said: You have to pay attention to proportions in the future, after all, people are military commanders, and you are a writer who has no official or position, so you should not call others brothers.

Writer Hu glared and said, "What's wrong?" Even if he is the commander, he has to recognize me. What is the relationship between us, we have let go of cattle together since childhood.

Xiao Jin has no deep or shallow appearance of Writer Hu, and has always maintained disagreement in his heart.

When Fan Junchang is in good spirits, he will take Xiaoyue and the child with him when he goes out again. Writer Hu also agreed to the invitation, and Xiao Jin was a little hesitant. It's not that she doesn't want to go out, she thinks about whether her identity is suitable, after all, she is touching the light of Captain Fan.

When Writer Hu saw Xiao Jin hesitating, he said: It's nothing, you and Xiao Yue have such a good relationship, and we haven't seen each other for a long time, this is an opportunity to get together and have a good talk;

Seeing that Writer Hu said this, Xiao Jin agreed, packed up, and set off with Captain Fan's family.

The children of the two families were still young and could not go into the mountains to hunt, so they chose a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. There are garrisons in these places, all of which are divisional and regimental-level units under Commander Fan. The commander brought his family to visit the troops, and the subordinates were naturally thoughtful and enthusiastic, busy running before and after. I looked at the mountains, then I looked at the water, and then I went to see the troops, and the soldiers shouted in unison: Hello chief.

Commander Fan waved his hand and said something about the hard work of comrades.

When it was time to eat, the subordinates were again warmly welcomed. The whole army knows that Commander Fan loves dog meat. The dog was already ready, hung up and killed, peeled, and the dog meat was cooked very freshly.

As soon as Commander Fan came to the table and saw the steaming dog meat, he was interested, rolled up his sleeves and ate it. Wine is indispensable, and the subordinates saw that Commander Fan had let go, and they were no longer restrained, and they toasted one glass after another. During the banquet, Fan Junchang introduced Writer Hu's family over and over again, saying how famous Writer Hu was, a cultural person, and the days when the two herded cattle together......

The subordinates toasted Writer Hu with admiration. Writer Hu drank a few glasses of wine and listened to some compliments, so he was naturally very happy, and said some very cultural things for a long time. The subordinates who accompany the wine also listen, but the interest does not seem to be so high. Their attention was all on Commander Fan, and even if the sound of Commander Fan putting his chopsticks was heavier, they would turn their heads and look at it together.

Xiao Yue and Xiao Jin sat together, taking care of the children and talking about women. They started with friendship, and then talked about their jobs and children at the moment.

After drinking, Commander Fan became the master of the table, and every word he said would attract a lot of exclamation and discussion. The effect of alcohol and his position made Commander Fan say whatever he wanted. Writer Hu has become a real foil, and he keeps helping out on the side to prove his existence.

Xiao Jin didn't drink, his mind was very clear, and when he saw this kind of scene, his heart was a little chaotic. During the banquet, Xiao Jin sighed in his heart: The army commander is the army commander. Then he said to Xiao Yue from the bottom of his heart: Your life is good, much better than me.

Xiao Yue hurriedly said: You're not bad, what do you want, what do you want?

Xiao Jin smiled, and the expression on his face was also hot and cold.

Back at home, Xiao Jin was still sighing: Xiaoyue is a good life, a noble husband and a noble wife, you see how glorious the family is.

Writer Hu's strength didn't go down yet, he waved his hand impatiently and said: Fan Ye is a military commander, I am a writer, they are all soldiers, the division of labor is different, it's nothing.

Having said that, I can't tell what it tastes like in my heart.

Xiao Jin pondered for a while, and then said: If you didn't write anything back then and fought with Commander Fan, you would be able to get a division commander or something at this time, and it would save me from changing jobs.

Writer Hu looked at Xiao Jin with a puzzled expression, and said: If there is no me, how can there be the current Fan Ye, and his deeds are all publicized by me.

Xiao Jin didn't say anything, sighed, hugged the child and said: This is your life, okay, don't say it, you can't say it all over again.

Writer Hu was also a little depressed, turned his back and smoked against the wall. The smoke drifted thick and faintly.

The next time Commander Fan had another event and invited Writer Hu to go with him, Writer Hu knew that he just wanted to go, and Xiao Jin was not very reluctant; he reluctantly went, but the result was not happy; it was better not to go than to be unhappy. So Writer Hu politely declined. He stayed at home, imagining the appearance of Commander Fan's family calling for wind and rain, and felt a little awkward in his heart.
