An Guoqiang left home again and went north under the support of his family.

After An Guoqiang left, Xiao Yu asked Anna not to go to work in the garment factory, feeling that her work there was too hard.

Although Anna had told Xiao Yu before that in her previous life, her father had been very successful in changing careers and doing business, but she only mentioned it in general terms, without mentioning the specific situation, and never mentioned that her father's first career was to take over the Kyushu garment fabric factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy due to the backlog of funds.

Mom was very attentive, and in front of Anna for three days, Anna thought about it and decided to listen to her first. It was also a coincidence that when I went back that day, I was about to quit my job with Sister Bi, and the old pattern master surnamed He in the factory said that there was a shortage of apprentices.

The director of the factory, who contracted the factory, was running supply and marketing in the early years, and his brain was also very flexible, although he secretly hooked up with his sister-in-law and had a worrying character, but he was also bent on making the factory bigger, and was planning to expand the variety of clothing instead, so he agreed with Master He to find an apprentice as a helper. Sister Bi, who has always liked Anna, immediately recommended Anna to Master He.

Lao He's master was a famous tailor in the old Shanghai Tang, and the ladies of the dignitaries of the Shanghai Tang dignitaries before the liberation were all frequent customers of that tailor shop. It's just that in the early years, I was put on a hat that advocated the decadent lifestyle of the bourgeoisie, and I was scared, and I didn't dare to come out to work for a long time, and I only came to this factory two years ago to do things, and I didn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool. To tell the truth, the same kind of blue cloth overalls, the version he typed, is more refined than others.

Anna knows that Lao He is a capable person, and then she has helped her father for many years, and belongs to the veteran of the garment factory. It's not a bad thing to be able to learn some art from him, so I went over for an interview.

When it comes to interviews, it's just two sentences. Lao He and Sister Bi have a very good relationship, with Sister Bi's warm recommendation, Lao He also knew Anna before, knowing that she is polite and diligent, as soon as she asked about the art foundation, she agreed with her mouth.

Anna went home and told her mother about her change of job, saying that she was idle anyway, and begged her mother to let her learn art with Lao He. Xiao Yu saw that she insisted on doing things, and it should be easier to be an apprentice in plate making than before, so she reluctantly agreed. So Anna began to follow Lao He to learn how to make plates.

……

At dusk, the golden afterglow of the sunset shone on the copper buckle of the epaulettes of the guard standing guard in front of the gate of the Army Aviation Academy, flashing with a unique light of metal, and in the distance, three fighters were standing in a row and roaring forward, the silver-white body became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared at the end of the sky, leaving only a few cotton cloud-like tracks.

The Army Aviation Academy at sunset has a unique charm of remoteness and tranquility.

A car with a special Academy license plate sped in from a distance, and the silence was shattered by the low roar of the engine running at full speed.

The car stopped in front of the gate, and the guard, recognizing the car and the person, saluted and opened the door.

The car drove into the academy and stopped in an open space under the administrative building, Lu Zhongjun got out of the car, walked upstairs with long legs, went up to the third floor, came to an office, buckled the door, and pushed it in without waiting for an echo inside.

"Director Tian, what are you looking for me?" Lu Zhongjun asked.

Director Tian hadn't gotten off work yet, he was burying his head in a pile of documents, and when he looked up and saw Lu Zhongjun coming, he beckoned him to come in and sit, and he lowered his head and continued to write what he hadn't finished writing just now.

Lu Zhongjun did not come in.

"What are you doing standing? Come in and sit!"

Director Tian greeted again.

"Director Tian, what can't you say on the phone, you have to come back? If you have something to say, don't grind and chirp like a girl! I'm very busy, I'll go back later!"

Lu Zhongjun looked a little impatient. A handsome face is slightly thin, and the corners of the chin are even more distinct.

"What are you talking about? It's getting worse and worse! Come in!"

Director Tian dropped the pen.

Lu Zhongjun still stood still at the door.

Director Tian had no choice but to stand up, walked up to Lu Zhongjun, and said, "You will have three days off tomorrow! You don't have to go back to the base in the evening!"

"No!" Lu Zhongjun immediately refused, without blinking his eyes, "I'm very busy over there, and I'm taking the trainees for air subject training, so I don't need a holiday!"

"Hey, compete with me, don't you? Don't rest? First it was half a month of continuous test flights, and now it is half a month of air training from morning to night. You can't stand it, and those who follow you can't stand it either! You must give me a holiday from tomorrow, and you will not be allowed to go back! I have already arranged for someone to take over your business!"

Lu Zhongjun frowned and looked at him.

"What are you looking at?" Director Tian paused and slowed down.

"Lu Zhongjun, do you know why I gave you a vacation? First, you are too hardworking. It is necessary to fight, and this spirit is also commendable, but the body is the capital of the revolution, and everything is done in moderation, and you also need to rest and relax. Second, you can go back and show me your old man. He was hospitalized the other day. How do you become a son? Do you still have a little filial piety?"

Lu Zhongjun was silent.

"What else do you think? My son also has a hard time looking at Lao Tzu? That's it! Tomorrow you will have a holiday, and I will go back and take a look. By the way, please give me a greeting. That's it. Let's go!"

After speaking, Director Tian sat back and continued to approve the documents he had just made.

The army stopped in place.

"Still pestle as a pillar, didn't you hear me?" Director Tian suddenly roared.

Lu Zhongjun turned around and left.

……

Lu Zhongjun's father, Lu Jianlin, who was privately called an old man by his subordinates, is more than fifty years old, and his liver has not been very good. Some time ago, I was a little uncomfortable, I didn't go to see it, and last week I suddenly fainted and was admitted to the hospital, and the doctor asked to be hospitalized as soon as I checked it.

This is the seventh day of hospitalization.

An Guoqiang came to visit with some fruits, came to the special ward, and reported his identity to the nurse who was guarding outside, and the nurse asked him to wait outside, went in and asked, and came out with a smile on his face to invite him in.

An Guoqiang thanked him and entered the special care ward.

The walls of the ward are snow-white, the space is large, and the interior is very comfortable, and there is a vase on the bedside table, and a bunch of white calla lilies are inserted in the bottle.

Old man Lu was wearing a hospital gown, with gray hair and a clear face, and it could be seen that he should be a beautiful man when he was young. Even if he lives in the hospital, his eyes are still very bright. It's just that the face is still not very good-looking. But compared to the previous days, it has been much better. Seeing An Guoqiang come in, he sat up from the hospital bed.

An Guoqiang hurriedly stepped forward to support him and let him lie down.

Old man Lu said that he had been lying down for several days, and he was tired of it, so he wanted to get up and sit down.

An Guoqiang helped him get off the hospital bed, let him sit on a chair, and sat on the side himself.

When the old man saw that his eyes fell on the calla lilies on the bedside table, a kind smile appeared in his eyes, and he explained, "My Xiaolin bought it for me." Knowing that I was hospitalized, I took a leave of absence from school and rushed over. I told her to go back and not miss her homework. ”

An Guoqiang accompanied him and said a few words of gossip, asked him about his physical condition, and talked a few words about work. Old Man Lu's gaze fell on his face, and his expression suddenly turned serious.

"Guoqiang, I heard that you have submitted an application for job transfer to the ministry?

An Guoqiang came over today, in addition to visiting the sick, he also wanted to do the old man's ideological work by the way, so as not to get stuck in him again in the end. Listening to his question, he explained, and finally said: "To tell you the truth, after working under you for so many years, I don't want to leave. To leave is to start all over again, and it is not easy. But I thought about it again and again and finally decided to submit it. Over the years, I owe so much to my wife, my children, and my old mother. I don't have any ambitions, I just want to make up for them while I still have the opportunity to take care of them as much as I can. I know you've always had high hopes for me, and you've cultivated a lot. I hope you will not be disappointed in making such a decision this time, and I hope you will understand my decision. ”

Before An Guoqiang came, he was ready to be taught a lesson by the old man, and he made up his mind that whatever he said or even scolded, he just insisted on it. Lu Jianlin has a quick temper, everyone knows this.

To his surprise, the old man was unexpectedly silent this time. When the eye fell to the window, a small bird that stopped jumping around on the branch of a large tree became distracted, as if it was stuck in some memory of the past.

An Guoqiang didn't dare to interrupt his thoughts, and kept silent on the side.

After a while, the old man finally came to his senses, turned his head and sighed, and said, "Originally, I would not have let you go. It is not easy to cultivate a backbone who is loyal to the cause and capable. But what you say also has a point. I can't hold you down with a big hat and force you to leave. Family is indeed important for a person's life. I approved. ”

An Guoqiang didn't expect to pass so smoothly, he was very surprised, and hurriedly thanked him.

The old man smiled and waved his hand.

An Guoqiang saw that he was tired, and knew that he was still quite weak, so he didn't dare to disturb him any more, so he helped him back to bed.

"Alas, when you are old, you can't get sick, if you ...... back then"

The old man was sighing with An Guoqiang, and the little nurse knocked lightly on the door just now, and came in and said, "There is a man who claims to be Lu Zhongjun outside, do you want to see him?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and froze there.

An Guoqiang also faintly knew that the relationship between the father and son of the Lu family was cold, and suddenly heard Lu Zhongjun coming, and seeing that the old man was silent, he immediately nodded in his place and asked the nurse to let people in.

The nurse nodded, turning to speak.
