It's almost the Chinese New Year, and Xu Ruobin, who has returned from training, is a little busier than usual, and he doesn't have time to play with Li Huatong. Li Huatong was a little sad for some reason, and occasionally made mistakes in confusion, and Accountant Tu couldn't help but ask Xiao Tong if there was something wrong? Xiao Tong also felt strange, obviously there was nothing wrong! However, sometimes words just can't talk nonsense, just after saying it's okay, no, it's coming.

After getting off work at noon, a person who was so depressed that he didn't want to go to dinner that he just entered his cabin and heard a knock on the door in a trance. Li Huatong thought that Xu Ruobin had called and didn't come, and there was a high probability that someone knocked on the door next door. Just about to sit down, he suddenly heard a heavy knock on the door, and Li Huatong made a judgment that he was indeed knocking on his door. After walking a few steps, I opened the door and was stunned, he was dressed in military uniform, standing tall and majestic at the door. Li Huatong shouted, "Why are you here?" He laughed loudly, "Why can't I come?"

It turned out that he came. His name is Ning Zhiyuan, and he is Li Huatong's high school classmate. At that time, Ning Zhiyuan was thin, dark-skinned, with stiff and stubborn hair, and always looked arrogant and cold. His clothes always seemed to be unable to keep up with his growth, his pants were shorter, and his shirt was shorter, which was relatively conspicuous in the crowd. According to his characteristics, the girls nicknamed him "Mao Mao Chicken". Just like most boys love to practice martial arts, he likes to play with a long whip, no matter where he goes, the whip will never leave his hand.

When he was a sophomore in high school, Li Huatong knew that he liked himself. At that time, boys and girls rarely spoke. Li Huatong sat in the front row of the classroom, and most of the boys were willing to sit in the back. Every time Ning Zhiyuan entered the classroom, he took big strides and would not slow down, but he always glanced at Li Huatong inadvertently, and quickly withdrew it, and continued to advance to his seat with a cold face.

He admired Li Huatong's talent, and it didn't seem to be very difficult to study, but he ranked first in the comprehensive score every time he took the exam. He also admired Li Huatong's diligence, and whenever he saw her being the first to come to the classroom to read early, memorizing English words, he even told other boys that she was a little fox.

In fact, Ning Zhiyuan studied very hard, and ran to the tree in the northwest corner of the school playground early every day to memorize the text. But in the end, he still didn't get into college. After Li Huatong transferred to another school, he heard from his classmates that he did not repeat his studies and went to Shandong to become a soldier. Presumably, he still couldn't be reconciled, and continued to study harder in the army, and finally the emperor lived up to his wishes, and was finally admitted to the military academy.

When Li Huatong was a freshman, Ning Zhiyuan's first letter fell from the sky, talking about his epic heroic deeds and struggles.

It was the period when the young man did not know the taste of sorrow but did not have sorrow to talk about sorrow. Li Huatong left his hometown to go to that strange campus, and he was extremely uncomfortable psychologically, and he urgently needed to find an exit and tell people about his loneliness and loneliness. Ning Zhiyuan left his hometown, struggled alone, and finally achieved his wish, and needed someone to share his joy and success. The two of them wrote a letter almost a month, telling each other about their loneliness and bitterness, and sometimes even talking to themselves, but so what? In the middle of a lonely and boring night, thinking about a person who can accompany each other is also a lucky and even happy thing to think about a person who is far away and can accompany each other.

As far as Li Huatong is concerned, Ning Zhiyuan is such a person. Today, he suddenly fell from the sky like his first letter, which made Li Huatong a little at a loss.

After all, he was a guest from afar, and an old classmate he hadn't seen for many years. Li Huatong hurriedly let him into the house, and said apologetically, "The dormitory is shabby, don't dislike it." There is only one chair in the small room, and this period of time has almost become Xu Ruobin's special seat. At this time, Ning Zhiyuan, who was wearing a military uniform, sat down, and Li Huatong felt a little trance when he looked at it, and he couldn't adapt to it all of a sudden. She remembered the hospitality gift, found a clean cup, poured hot water for him, handed it to him, and said, "It's cold, warm your hands first!" She sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes looked at Ning Zhiyuan, and she couldn't help laughing. In fact, after graduating from high school, the two were thousands of miles apart, and although they passed many letters, they never met once. He looked a lot taller than when he was in high school, and when he saw her looking at him and smiling, he smiled and said, "I've changed." Yes, he has indeed changed a lot, in addition to growing taller, he is also much stronger than before, his eyebrows and eyes are full of the might of a soldier, and every board and glance is full of the momentum of a soldier. The boy who loved to play with the long whip had grown into a tall and mighty man.

He still called her Xiaotong according to the name in the letter, asked her about her work with concern, asked her if she was busy, and whether she was hard. Xiaotong was suddenly a little moved, he had always cared about her like a big brother, but she had been ignoring his concern.

It was already one o'clock at noon, Li Huatong took Ning Zhiyuan out to eat, and suggested that he must try Luochuan's famous delicacy mutton soup. When I came to the Luochuan mutton restaurant, I greeted the boss, ordered two cold dishes, asked for two bowls of mutton soup, and three baked cakes. The cold dishes were quickly served, and the two of them ate the dishes and chatted about the mutton soup. Ning Zhiyuan said that he returned to the army after graduating from the military academy and is still in Shandong. This time, I came to see Xiaotong to see if there was a chance to transfer to Unit 36985 stationed in Luochuan. Of course Xiao Tong understood what he meant, he was probing Xiao Tong's tone! However, Xiao Tong knew in his heart that four years of correspondence had not brought the two of them together, not to mention that now there is Xu Ruobin by his side, time has passed, in this life and this life, he and she have been missed, and now there is no possibility. Xiaotong didn't respond to him, and kept smiling lightly and giving him vegetables to eat more. He didn't speak when he heard Xiaotong, and he didn't mention the matter of transferring troops, and kept praising the deliciousness of the mutton soup, which was worthy of Luochuan cuisine. His voice was strong and powerful, and his laughter was full of confidence. He changed his cold and arrogant past, asked Xiaotong carefully about his work and life, and tirelessly told Xiaotong to eat well when he was out alone, and to ask others for help if he had anything, and not to carry it alone. Xiaotong picked up the teacup and said, "Old classmate, thank you for coming to Luochuan to see me, and I would like to give you a cup to express my gratitude!" He said "yes", and he also picked it up, clinked the glass, and drank it.

Full of food and food, Li Huatong took Ning Zhiyuan to a small park nearby to take a walk to eliminate food, and also wanted to hear about his recent situation and today's itinerary.

In winter, there are not many people in the park, there are no flowers or grass, only the evergreen ligustrum shows the greenery alone. Ning Zhiyuan wore a military uniform and walked with the usual steps of a soldier, and it has indeed become a different scenery in the park.
