CHAPTER XXVII
The warm sunlight shines through the glass windows, and the greenery outside becomes more and more green, full of warm green. The hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant water, and the whole hospital was very tidy, with doctors and nurses in white clothes and white dense curtains.
Chen Yeping sat on the hospital bed, his body recovered almost completely, and he didn't need to be hospitalized, but he still felt that he was weak, his limbs were weak, and he couldn't even lift a stool, so he simply played with a Rubik's cube that the nurse gave him, and the nurse couldn't change the color of several sides to one color, and when he handed it to him, he said: "I played for three months and didn't know how to turn them to their original appearance." β
The curtains floated up, and the morning sun shone like the sparkling waves of the sea, and the shadows of the clouds passed by. When Chen Yeping turned the last square of the Rubik's Cube to the same side, the door opened. Tian Zhaonian was followed by a tall man, but the man did not come in, he respectfully stepped back and closed the door.
Chen Yeping had heard of Tian Zhaonian when he was in the military academy, he was the overseer of the Northern District, with great achievements, and he survived on the battlefield countless times, even the principal Luo Zhaoshi was in awe of him, and every cadet who graduated from the school went to work under him.
Tian Zhaonian was almost as he imagined in his mind, a middle-aged man, with an unfathomable face full of wrinkles, with two mustaches, very kind from the outside, thin but strong, wrapped in a straight uniform. However, Tian Zhaonian did not wear a uniform today, but wore civilian clothes, but this could not hide a certain temperament exuded by him.
The leather shoes under his feet made a dull noise, and after a few steps he walked to the bed, and he did not speak at first, but smiled kindly, and it happened that the sun shone on half of his face. Silent, Chen Yeping also smiled at Tian Zhaonian.
Ying Shuhe disappeared all morning, and no one knew what he was doing. When he returned, he saw several repairmen at the hospital fountain, repairing pipes. He walked up to the second floor on long legs, the corridor was empty, he pushed the door in, raised his right eyebrow slightly, and said, "It seems that you know that I am going to take you out of the hospital." β
Chen Yeping was thrown on the bed in a hospital gown, buttoning his shirt, Chen Yeping turned his head in surprise, speechless for a while. Ying Shuhe walked up to him, looked at him from top to bottom, nodded and said, "Yes, I've lost a little weight in the past two days, so it's fine." Just keep it for two days. After that, he handed something to Chen Yeping.
Chen Yeping saw the piece of paper that was like a food stamp, and raised his head to correspond to Shu He's eyes, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, which can be described as surprised and happy. Ying Shuhe was relaxed and in a good mood, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I bought you a ferry ticket, go home, I am on leave." β
Before Chen Yeping could speak, a person came in outside, Ying Shuhe's face changed the moment he turned his head, and he hesitated: "Secretary Guan, why are you here?"
Secretary Guan shouted and said with a smile, "Colonel." The Overseers asked me to come. After that, he glanced at Chen Yeping through the line of sight.
Chen Yeping had already finished getting dressed and nodded to Secretary Guan. Ying Shuhe's face was full of doubts, Chen Yeping did not explain, and had already walked in front of him.
Ying Shuhe waited at the door of the office, he was pacing in the corridor with his hands on his hips, and he didn't know what kind of anxiety it was, a bad feeling was running wildly in his heart, and Chen Yeping came out after ten minutes, and he stepped forward and asked, "Have you done what I told you?"
Chen Yeping wanted to speak and stopped, lowered his eyes and did not answer him, and simply walked downstairs. Ying Shuhe seemed to know the answer at once, and followed closely, forgetting to go in and say hello to Tian Zhaonian.
When he got outside, Ying Shuhe finally went up to stop him, but Chen Yeping was stopped by him with one arm and had to stop. Ying Shuhe was very angry and said to him, "Why don't you listen to the instructor? You'd better give me an explanation." β
After a short silence, I heard Chen Yeping's voice very low but very firm: "I want revenge." β
Ying Shuhe was stunned, Fang Cai's arrogance decreased by two or three points, and asked, "What revenge?"
Chen Yeping still didn't dare to look at him, stared at the ground and said: "For Jiang Hai - he died to save me, if I don't avenge him, I won't have a good time in this life." β
Ying Shuhe put his hand down, turned his back and quickly turned around, tried his best to lower his voice and said, "Do you want to avenge him?"
Finally, Chen Yeping's eyes were on the instructor, his eyes revealed firmness and calmness, and he said: "It's that embassy, and the people living in it are the new Russian commissioners." β
Ying Shuhe said: "Wake up, it was only a soldier who killed Jiang Hai, and that soldier was killed by me with one shot." β
Chen Yeping said disdainfully: "Without that high-level commissioner, there would not be so many people to surround us." β
Ying Shuhe said coldly: "You are naΓ―ve and delusional!"
It was this cynicism, Chen Yeping's arrogance by nature, he walked past him without saying much to him, and when he walked to the bottom of the steps, Chen Yeping turned around and said, "Thank you for your ferry ticket." β
The sunset is colorful, there are more people on the road, all of them are returning home after a day's work, and the crowd and vehicles are endless.
The car stopped at the door, someone opened the door for Secretary Guan, and Secretary Guan went upstairs with the documents in his arms. knocked on the door of Tian Zhaonian's office, someone answered inside, he opened the door and saw Tian Zhaonian standing in front of the window, and then heard him sigh and say: "The clouds are thick, it seems that it is going to rain." β
Secretary Guan also looked at the sky and said, "The day after tomorrow is the valley rain, and it is rare to have a rain." With that, he put the papers on his desk.
Tian Zhaonian left the window and returned to his seat, he took a document and looked at it, Secretary Guan said: "This is the document for negotiations with the Russians at the end of the month, I have sorted it out, and I want you to look at the contents of it." Also, this is the archival material named Chen Yeping, which was taken from Principal Luo. β
Tian Zhaonian squinted and flipped through the information, looked at it roughly, and only said, "Why is there no background information about his family on it?"
Secretary Guan hesitated: "This ...... These are all recorded by the instructor when the new students enter the school, and I don't know. Tian Zhaonian waved his hand to close the document and leaned back on the chair, and after a while, he smiled and said, "That's it." It must be the old thief's ghost again. β
Secretary Guan was still confused, and heard Tian Zhaonian speak: "How about you tell me about this person I like?" β
Secretary Guan lowered his head, thought for a moment and said, "As you said that day, it is just not very mature. β
Tian Zhaonian laughed, pointed at Secretary Guan and said, "You, young people are like this, they will be mature when they have more experience." That's why I sent him on this mission, so that he could have a real combat experience and increase his knowledge. After a pause, he said, "I ...... when I was young," and he didn't go on here, just looked out the window at the twilight.
The weather was not as good as the previous two days, but fortunately the clouds and mist cleared the sun in the afternoon. At one o'clock in the afternoon, many people came to the pier, and rickshaws and cars were parked, and many people came to the pier to see people off. The people who boarded the ship carried suitcases to the deck. The uniformed crew directed the people on the pier to get on board quickly. A boat whistle sounded, and the ship began to move.
Chen Yeping got on the boat and learned that the ticket the instructor bought for him was a hard seat, and he could only sit by a row of windows to enjoy the sea scenery or go to the deck to blow the wind. Fortunately, it is the first pier that goes directly to the West District, and it will take a few hours.
Soon after, a staff member pushed a cart down the aisle, and he asked for a glass of water and a biscuit, and next to him sat a young lady in her thirties, with a dark red checkered cheongsam, her hair meticulously combed, and the jewelry she wore around her neck and on her hands were jewelry. He borrowed food from her, and the young lady politely gave it, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Chen Yeping was eating, the young lady asked the staff for a cup of coffee, he had no intention of listening to others, but the young lady next to him didn't have change to buy coffee, it was anxious, he handed over the change in his hand, the young lady was very embarrassed, Chen Yeping politely shook his hand and said: "Anyway, it's not expensive." β
The young lady took the coffee, took a few sips, and saw that the young man next to her was well-dressed and looked good, so in order to relieve the embarrassment, she accosted him and asked, "Where are you from?" Are you going home or on a business trip?"
Chen Yeping looked at the scenery outside the window, turned his head and replied: "School is on vacation, go home and take a look." What about you?"
The young lady nodded, smiled slightly, her Mandarin was very standard, wiped the rim of the cup with a handkerchief, and said: "My husband moved last month, and his boss urged him to be tight, so he didn't tidy up his clothes and send them back." β
Her two suitcases were placed under the chair, and Chen Ye saw them squarely, thinking that these two suitcases were not light, and this lady should have a hard time holding them. Anyway, he was sitting here for a while, chatting with the lady for a while, and said, "Why didn't your husband take you with him?"
The young lady smiled shyly: "The order from above is too urgent, and he doesn't have time to take me if he wants to, but this time he asked me to take a look by the way, and if I like it, he will pick me up next month." β
The words on her face and mouth were full of sweetness and happiness. This reminded Chen Yeping of his mother at home, who had always been so subtle, speaking neither lightly nor heavily, with a faint fragrance between her teeth and body. The young lady was wearing perfume, which was rich and elegant, and he smelled that it was a famous French perfume brand.
They said a few words, ended the conversation in silence, and went their separate ways.
The steamer drove smoothly, and he had never sat in a hard seat before, and although the seat was uncomfortable, he fell asleep unconsciously after a long wait. He held the suitcase in his arms as a pillow, leaned against his chin against the window, and slept soundly.
In the dream, he returned to the old mansion. The family's old house is an ancestral property, with overlapping small courtyards and small doors, haunting the house. The old house is close to the neighborhood, and when I was a child, there were many children on the street, and I heard them playing outside all day long. He always took off the nurse's hand and ran out to play with the children. He was like a little monkey, and the nurse didn't know when he ran away, and he was still doing his homework in the house.
His mother was not afraid that he would be playful, but that he would be hurt. It is inevitable that children will push and shove, and it is inevitable that they will be injured in falling. But the mother was worried and scared, he was born in October when she was pregnant, and before that, she had two miscarriages, both of which were accidentally not saved. During the ten months that his mother was pregnant with him, she sat on the bed almost every day, eating and drinking, and let her subordinates bring her, so that she gave birth to him smoothly without the first two accidents.
His mother loved him and sometimes doted on him excessively. Everything depends on him, he has his own small treasury at the age of six, and the red envelopes for the New Year and the usual pocket money, he is locked in a delicate small box, and then he gradually feels that money is not rare at all, it is easy to get at his fingertips. Feel free to splurge.
The old house is on the road of the first lane of the market, the street is spacious, the two streets are the neighbors of the residents, his ancestors are blessed, two big stone lions outside the door, solemn door plaques and the courtyard wall. There was a back door open to the east, from which he always slipped out to play.
It was the fondest memory of his childhood. The children are innocent and innocent among themselves. The son of a rich man on the opposite side was named Fat Zhong, and everyone only knew each other's milk names at that time.
Fat Zhong is as his name suggests, he is the fattest of his friends, and his strength is greater than that of people of the same age, and he is the son of a pampered little rich man, and he is also the most domineering one among everyone. Although everyone avoided him, he insisted on squeezing in, and everyone didn't dare to speak out, so they looked at each other and became restrained. Fat Zhong didn't seem to notice it, I don't know who caught a few crickets and locked them in a bamboo cage, and Fat Zhong used a bamboo skewer to provoke them.
The children had to squat aside to watch the fat clock play, in fact, those crickets were Daguang's, Daguang could only watch his crickets being played by the fat clock, and dared not speak.
He slipped out of the small door while the nurse was not paying attention, and saw many people playing around the alley. Fat Zhong was talking to a little girl who was about the same height as him, and suddenly pinched the girl's cheek with his hand, and said with a smug smile on his fleshy face: "Your name is Ah Rou, is there a lot of meat? Let me pinch it." β
The children all looked at the fat bell in unison, and all of them thought that the girl was going to cry, so they all stood up angrily, and then cowered, and did not dare to say anything.
At that time, he didn't know where he got the courage, so he ran there and pointed to the fat bell and said, "Fat clock, don't bully people!
Fat Zhong turned his head to look at him, and his eyebrows became inverted, and he pounced on him without saying a word. He was defenseless, was pushed and fell to the ground, and it was at this time that the fat tiger suddenly fell head-on and fell next to him. It turned out that the girl named Ah Rou pushed the fat bell from behind.
When Fat Zhong reacted, he got up from the ground, pointed at her and said, "You little girl, dare to push me?"
His eyes widened again. Ah Rou pushed the fat bell to the ground again, put his hands on his waist to make a full posture, and said, "What's the matter? You pinched me, I'll tell my father in a while, and ask him to tell the gentleman in the study hall, and when the gentleman knows about it, he will come to your house to complain, saying that you bullied me!
Ah Rou was articulate, her watery eyes were wide open, and a piece of jade pendant hanging from her neck with hemp rope shook in the air.
Fat Zhong was speechless, his cheeks were red, he patted his ass and ran away.
Ah Rou was about to step forward to help him up, but the nurse ran out from behind the small door in a hurry, and saw him fall to the ground and screamed in panic. He was about to say that it was okay, but the nurse said to Ah Rou: "Did you do it, this girl? I just saw that you were bullying others, and I turned around and told your father." The nurse picked him up and checked whether there were any scars on his body, and the nurse suddenly said "ah", seeing that his arm was bruised and red, and hurriedly asked: "Does it hurt little master?" Then he turned back to Ah Rou and said, "Look at the good things you have done, you are so barbaric at such a young age." β
A few children next to him couldn't stand it, and came up and said, "Auntie, you misunderstood, Cheng Nan is not pushed by Ah Rou, but Fat Zhong." β
He nodded to the nurse, then looked at Ah Rou, saw her with her head down and tears shed two or three lines, endured the grievances and turned away.
When he returned home, his mother found out about his affairs in the evening, and the nurse had already explained, but his mother no longer allowed him to play with his friends on the street. He was very aggrieved but helpless. After that day, he heard the children outside the wall playing and laughing, always listening intently, he remembered the last time the girl named Ah Rou was misunderstood by the nurse full of grievances and turned to leave, he wanted to hear whether there was a sound mixed with Ah Rou, but he couldn't tell it.
I didn't feel a sourness.
The days of living in the old house were coming to an end, the driver of the family came to pick them up, and his mother pulled him by the hand in the car, and after getting into the car, he held him in his arms and wrapped his hands around him, looking at the scenery flashing outside the window. The fragrance on my mother's body has not changed for decades, elegant and fresh, which makes people extremely attached and nostalgic.
Because I lived in the old house after the new year, I found that the flowers in the flower room were all blooming, and the fresh morning dew was stained on the petals, exuding a faint fragrance of flowers. There are also butterflies flying in the air. The home in the dream is full of spring, and it is the season at that time, all of which add color. The green plants are neatly trimmed, roses like vines climb on the flower stands, geraniums, roses, spider plants, a few butterflies fly around in the air, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing everywhere.
