Chapter 236: The First Initiative
On the weekend at the end of the five kilometers, Qiao Nan ushered in a long-lost vacation and called his sister. The younger sister said that she had been allowed to take Min Jia to the army to find him. Min Jia hadn't been out for a long time, let alone entered the army, and she was full of curiosity about the unknown journey.
Qiao Nan smiled: "Don't let Min Jia think too well, or you will be disappointed if you come." ”
"But I think it's good, there are mountains and rivers, and there is a mysterious army!"
"Then come, a hare, with a little white rabbit, come to the mountains to play for a few days!"
......
There was a solemn silence, which made Qiao Nan hurriedly bother: "Just kidding, I mean, you are more mature than Min Jia, you have to take care of her." ”
"Do you still need to say it?"
The two younger sisters wanted to come to see her, and Qiao Nan was of course very excited. He prayed that nothing would go wrong, at least to keep him at the station.
It was the middle of June 2009, and there was still about half a month before the summer vacation.
On the day of the vacation, Qiao Nan stopped being a savage and went down the mountain to find spiritual food. He has been out of touch with social life for too long, and he doesn't know what to do when he has a vacation, so he usually has only one destination, and that is a bookstore.
There are only a few bookstores he frequents the most, and he usually finds a corner to sit in the morning. When he was a teenager, his family was poor, and he also went to Xinhua Bookstore to read books. Now it is not as good as before, if he comes across a good book, he will buy it and take it back to read it carefully.
He wandered among the bookshelves, and finally walked to the "military" column, and locked his eyes on a set of "Ten Famous Generals of World War II". Not long after that set of books was published, Qiao Nan had never seen it before, and he didn't hesitate to reach out to get it, but unexpectedly touched a pair of white little hands.
The two of them withdrew their hands like an electric shock, but their eyes met again. The four looked at each other, stunned.
Qiao Nan wanted to turn around and leave, but unconsciously turned around, faced her face to face again, and said, "Long time no see." ”
"Hmm. ”
Her hair was down below her shoulders and she had a very flowing air bangs. She wore a white T-shirt and an A-line denim skirt, revealing a pair of smooth and slender legs. She is as pure as a college student, but she has a faint star temperament, which makes people look sideways.
Now she is more beautiful than before, but Qiao Nan always feels weird, I don't know what she lost.
As before, she hurriedly explained: "It's Sister Su Xue who gave birth to a baby, and I want to pick out a few picture books for the baby and make gifts for him." ”
Ah, I see. Time is faster than expected, Su Xue even has a child? Do you have to go see her another day?
Both of them had a lot to say, but they invariably chose to be silent, and they couldn't even ask a "are you okay?" After a stalemate of more than ten seconds, she bowed slightly and hurried away.
Qiao Nan blinked his eyes and thought for a long time, and the reflex arc circled the earth ten times before finally sending the signal into his brain.
Didn't she come to buy picture books?
How could she, a person who doesn't like to read, read these obscure military books?
Before he met her, all he had in his mind was hatred for her father, but the moment he met her, he seemed to feel that hatred didn't seem to matter that much. It's okay to be able to speak.
After receiving the signal of the reflected arc, he chased her in the direction where she had disappeared. When I turned around, I happened to see her, and there was a man standing next to her, and the two of them were eating the same ice cream.
It turns out that my sister's information is very accurate, and she does have a boyfriend. Alas, why is this brain so bad that you forget about this stubble?
After all, she couldn't bear to watch him at a loss, pulled her boyfriend, and disappeared into the sea of people again. Before leaving, leave a smile that seems to be sorry to him.
For the first time, Qiao Nan felt that the city was like a flowing river, and he was a lost fish, with no direction, drifting with the current.
The alarm clock rang suddenly, reminding him that it was time to return to the team. He has been in the army for many years and has long developed the habit of unconditional obedience to orders. But on this sunset afternoon, he suddenly didn't want to be an obedient soldier and wanted to do a lot of rebellious things. For example, if you don't return to the team at the specified time, go to a tavern and get drunk.
But Lao Feng's call saved the young man who had lost his footing in time: "Hey, that girl in Beijing has sent you something again." ”
"Gold?"
"The sender wrote a 'yellow', it should be her, right?"
After half a year lukewarmly, she still remembered herself after all, and sent herself some daily necessities every season. Under the call of the package, Qiao Nan gradually abandoned the idea of rebellion and went back obediently.
This time I sent something, Huang Jinzi didn't say it in advance, it may be that he was busy and forgot, or he may be on a business trip abroad. In fact, Qiao Nan can imagine that the things she sent, there must be Huoxiang Zhengqi water, cool oil, and some fire-dispelling herbal tea, Beijing snacks or something, in addition, books are also essential.
The girl's mind is always more delicate, thanks to the blessing of the golden son, Qiao Nan and his soldiers have eaten a lot of good things. After a long time, those little warriors were looking forward to Qiao Nan to wrap them, which meant that they could improve their food a little.
After receiving the things this time, the soldiers under him all followed and coaxed Qiao Nan to confess to the girl. Qiao Nan thought they were too noisy and kicked them all out. Zhao Yu also persuaded him that other girls have done this, and it would be too much if they didn't accept other people's wishes.
Who knew that Qiao Nan actually stammered: "Her conditions are so good, and she has many suitors." What if I say it and people don't accept it?"
In terms of feelings, he has always been passive and has never taken the initiative.
Zhao Yu sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a person." ”
"What kind of people?"
"What a coward!"
Qiao Nan didn't want to refute, silently opened his notebook, and began to write today's diary, letting Zhao Yu nag on the side. Sometimes he thinks this friend is good, and sometimes he wants to plug his mouth.
"Back then, in the military academy, you Qiao Nan was famous, and I am afraid you are the only one who dares to lead the entire dormitory to play games. We all said at the time that that guy was a capable man and a warrior. ”
Qiao Nan interrupted him without looking back: "Because of playing games, I didn't rate it that year, can you not mention it?"
"In the year you competed in the elite competition, you were able to run even if you had a strained leg. In orienteering, I'm almost tired and vomiting as a normal person, and you're still dragging an injured leg. Every member of the team advises you, we go to the coordinate point to check in, and you wait in place. If you don't listen, you have to run along. At that time, we all thought, this brother, is a ruthless man. Aren't you afraid that you'll become lame and have to walk on crutches for the rest of your life?"
Qiao Nan stopped writing for a while, squinting his eyes to recall the scene at that time. At that time, they were still juniors, and a few of them were student soldiers, running towards the finish line against the sunset. Because he was worried about overtime, he kept gritting his teeth and holding on. Zhao Yu held the map and shouted from time to time, "Another hundred meters have been wiped out, come on, brothers!", and some people sang a loud military song, everyone was supporting the last part of the journey with their tenacity and optimism.
Qiao Nan dragged his injured leg and didn't let himself drag his legs. Is it tired? tired, as long as he sits on the ground, he has no strength to stand up again, does it hurt? it hurts, he almost loses consciousness, and he doesn't know how he managed to hold on. Are you afraid? It seems like ...... , I really wasn't afraid.
At that time, he only had one thought, he was the captain, he couldn't fall, he had to win.
So, when the devils taunt him that the "Sword of the Elite" is a water-mixed race, he will be angry. Although the group of student soldiers back then was immature, everyone was not afraid of death or tiredness, and they were all well-known heroes, how could they insult them with "mixed water"?
Qiao Nan smiled in his memory, they were exhausted at that time, but they supported each other and sang a loud military song. The setting sun is at the end of the world, waiting for them to embrace themselves.
They used to run like that, tirelessly, not afraid of life and death, and the mud-stained camouflage filled their 20-year-old youth with enthusiasm.
Zhao Yu's voice came from behind him: "At that time, I was not afraid of being criticized for playing games, and I was not afraid of being lame when I participated in a martial arts competition;
Zhao Yu's words were nailed to Qiao Nan's heart like a nail. When he was tormented by injuries and illnesses, and when he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night because of the loneliness of his bones, he thought more than once that if he could marry the virtuous and capable golden son home, then his life would be much better.
Especially in today's situation, there is a large ball of cotton blocking his chest. The outline of the gold is getting clearer and clearer, and every bit of it is floating in front of you. Such a good girl, who has paid so much for herself, why did she turn a blind eye before?
At present, their incomes are almost equal, although she is a little more, but in the long run, he still has a lot of room for improvement; she has a gentle temperament, a delicate mind, and knows how to take care of people; they have been friends since they were students, and they have more memories in common.
Qiao Nan thought to himself, his line of work is precarious, and some things must be said as soon as possible. So, on this night with mixed feelings, he decided to take the initiative. He sent a text message to Jinzi: "Or, let's live together?"
The night was silent, and I could hear my own heartbeat quietly. The phone had already been put into silent mode, and the blue screen suddenly lit up twice.
According to the discipline, they have already passed the time to use their mobile phones, and Qiao Nan must violate discipline once today, he can't wait to see what Huang Jinzi replied to him.
The moment he touched his phone, a sharp whistle rang out suddenly, completely breaking the silence of the night. This is the whistle of the emergency assembly, Qiao Nan packed his bags as quickly as possible, handed over his mobile phone, and waited for the mission to come in the dark sky.
