Putting down the tablet, Duan Qirui rubbed his sour eyes, he hadn't stared at the tablet screen for so long in a long time.

At this time, his wife came back from shopping for groceries, and saw him sitting on the sofa in a daze, frowning and looking strange.

Duan Qirui had only one wife, named He Yin, and their marriage developed from a pure revolutionary friendship in the past.

When Duan Qirui was still a small squad leader, He Yin was already the captain secretary of the division they were in.

However, later Duan Qirui was on the rise, and He Yin was not promoted much, after all, the upper limit of her captain secretary was too low, and she was just a clerk.

Until the last year before the end of the war, when Duan Qirui became the chief of staff of the division, she was still a captain's secretary.

Later, when the war was over and Duan Qirui was serving in the Southwest Military Department, his wife first went to the Jinling Military Region to work as a librarian. It wasn't until the year before Duan Qirui returned to Jinling that she was promoted to the finance department as section chief.

But no matter what, she also experienced the war years and went to the battlefield.

When he returned home with the dishes, he saw Duan Qirui in a daze on the sofa, He Yin said strangely: "Old Duan, why are you here in a daze early in the morning, what news did you see?"

Duan Qirui was interrupted from his thoughts, looked up and saw his mother-in-law, and shook the tablet in his hand, "It's not news, didn't Zhuang Yan send a new book, I just read it." ”

He Yin put the dishes in the refrigerator, washed his hands by the way, and then walked to Duan Qirui while wiping his hands, "Zhuang Yan's new book?

Duan Qirui didn't rush to answer, but said with a smile: "I won't tell my feelings first, let me ask you, do you know this person Tiexin?"

"Iron Heart?" He Yin shook his head, "I don't have an impression of this person." ”

"Alas, it's that red writer who wrote an article last time called "Father is a Soldier" or something. Duan Qirui prompted.

He Yin seemed to remember, "Oh, it seems to be a little impressive, I heard that he also won the Pu Songling Award, how can I ask him, what does this have to do with him?"

Duan Qirui smiled and said, "It matters, this person has publicly commented on Zhuang Yan's new book." ”

"What do you say?" He Yin said curiously.

"It's like water, there's no aftertaste. ”

He Yin was surprised: "The evaluation is so low, this iron heart is so direct?"

Duan Qirui shook his head: "He also left a way back for himself, and Zhuang Yan was not mentioned by name in the comments." I guess if something happens later, he'll probably have to change his tune. ”

He Yin also smiled and said: "No one named him, but you put a hat on his own initiative, maybe people are not commenting on Zhuang Yan's new book at all?"

Duan Qirui rolled his eyes, "The only one who wants to wear this hat is himself, and others can't wear it even if they give it to him." Yesterday, Zhuang Yan released a new book, and when he turned his head, he made such remarks, which everyone will associate with it. Think about it, if he wasn't targeting Zhuang Yan, then why did the matter go over the night and get to this point, and this guy still didn't come out to clarify?"

He Yin also knows the virtues of these so-called "literati", although she used to hold a pen in the government, but she also disdains these red writers who hug the government's thighs every day.

"Even if he really targets Zhuang Yan, you can tell me, how is Zhuang Yan's book, is it really like clear water, without any aftertaste?" He Yin said.

On the contrary, the truth is that there is a lot of turbulence in the shadows. ”

"Heh, you're pretty high. It seems that this iron-hearted person is illiterate?"

Duan Qirui said with a smile: "Everyone has different feelings when they read the same book. Originally, he thought that the book was bad, and he just said that he didn't like it, or he didn't have to say it. Even if you want to say it, you shouldn't be so secretive. Even if you are secretive, you should be humble and polite. It's good for him to leave the next sentence like this, with ill intentions. ”

He Yin nodded, "It's true that there are some ill-intentioned intentions, so Zhuang Yan didn't respond?"

Duan Qirui shook his head, "Probably not, probably Zhuang Yan also thinks he is a clown jumping off the beam, so ignore it." ”

"Since people don't pay attention to it, let's not worry about it. Don't be in a hurry to say it, you don't say I know what you want to do, I still remember the last time you scolded Zhuang Yan. He Yin said.

"Xiao He, don't worry, listen to me tell you. This time is different from last time, last time it was purely my own pleasure, but this time is different. I really read this book and was very touched, so I thought about coming forward to say a few words. I don't curse either, since others don't like to say their own opinions, then as a reader who likes this book, why can't I, express my own opinions?" Duan Qirui said.

He Yin glanced at Duan Qirui strangely and said, "I'm a little curious, what is written in this book that makes you like this?"

Duan Qirui took a breath and picked up the cup to drink water, but found that the water in the cup was already cold.

He Yin saw that he was going to pour him again, but he waved his hand to stop him, "Don't be busy, you sit down first and listen to me tell you." I was indeed touched by this book, do you remember that Lao Li in our company?"

"Remember, the oldest one. ”

Duan Qirui said with a smile: "Well, Lao Li is the oldest, when I went to the company to be the company commander, he was already forty-three years old, and he has been a soldier for more than ten years without being promoted, and he has always been a big soldier." Although I was a company commander, I was a child soldier, and I was not even eighteen years old at that time. It's also thanks to Lao Li, these big brothers, otherwise I would have broken up a long time ago. ”

Speaking of the past, Duan Qirui's eyes were full of memories, and He Yin was also brought to the past by his words and began to recall.

"Lao Li is the oldest and the most faithful. He was never married, let alone had any children, and at that time, every time we received military salaries, everyone basically sent them back to their parents, leaving only a little for themselves. Sometimes the food is not enough, and it is all taken care of by Lao Li. ”

Duan Qirui said some trivial things, his eyes were full of warmth, but as he spoke, his eyes suddenly changed.

"The battle was fought at Dangshan, and our regiment received an order to capture a nearby enemy stronghold that day. Originally, I got the news that the stronghold had only thirty to forty handles, only rifles, and no heavy firepower. But when the real fight started, I realized that the TMD was all hidden inside, and as soon as the guns rang out, a lot of hula came out, heavy machine guns, mortars, equal to a reinforced battalion. ”

"In this case, the regiment commander can only tell everyone to withdraw. Our company was appointed to drag behind the rear hall to cover the retreat of the large army, and I knew that it was a fatal mission, but I did not say a word about the next mission. Someone has to do this kind of task, our lives are our lives, and other people's are not?"

He Yin had heard this story many times, but she never interjected, and Duan Qirui kept telling it.
