Comrades-in-arms, Qin Mingjun wants to get married, Chen Anxiu will not even give this face, and agreed to meet without thinking too much.

Qin Mingjun gave the approximate address, Chen Anxiu drove over by himself, and when he arrived, Qin Mingjun was already waiting at the roadside stop sign, which is a famous scenic spot in Ludao City, but after nightfall, it is not prosperous, except for a few cars passing by occasionally, and even too quiet, in this season, even the sound of the wind blowing the fallen leaves on the ground can be heard.

As soon as Chen Anxiu's car stopped, Qin Mingjun pulled the co-pilot and came up.

"Which way to go,"

"Keep going until you stop where there are sentinels. ”

"Where do you want to go in?" It seems to be a military compound, right? Although he hasn't been there, he also knows that place.

Qin Mingjun smiled, "Where do you think you're going?" I don't know if Lu Dao is the reason why he wants to get married, he feels very kind today, completely reining in the slightly rigid aura of the past.

"I thought it was a place where I could drink. "After all, occasions like bars and hotels seem to be more suitable for parties.

"Those places are so noisy, I just want to have a good meal. ”

"People who are going to get married are really different. Chen Anxiu quipped.

Qin Mingjun smiled noncommittally, didn't answer his words, and went to the inspection post, because Qin Mingjun was there, their car didn't stop for long and was successfully released.

After entering, the two of them exchanged places, it was Qin Mingjun's car, the two of them talked casually, most of the people passing by outside were wearing military uniforms, heroic and firm, this familiar scene made Chen Anxiu's heart inevitably float some sense of familiarity, as well as complex emotions that could not be said in the bottom of his heart.

Qin Mingjun noticed his rare silence, but he didn't mean to break the stalemate, he just slowed down the car a lot. The dim street lamps hit the face of the person on the right through the trees and car windows, and it was bright and dim.

When I don't touch some things, I always feel that it has passed, but when I really have to face them, I find that even if I can touch them, it still hurts. The sudden rush of mixed thoughts made it take Chen Anxiu some time to stabilize his emotions.

The light that slowly disappeared in the car brought Chen Anxiu back to his senses and found that the car had already driven into the garage.

Qin Mingjun got out of the car first and patted the garage light, Chen Anxiu followed, opened the trunk and reported the things he brought.

"What is this?" After the two came out, Qin Mingjun closed the door of the garage and asked curiously when he saw Chen Anxiu holding his jar in his hand.

Chen Anxiu smiled and said, "Cherry wine, I brewed it myself." After thinking about it at home for a long time, I don't know what to bring, Qin Mingjun's wedding gift, Zhang Shinian has already asked Donna to prepare, but he can't bring it today, he thought that today is about a private party, just bring some heart, so he brought his own cherry wine, which he dug out from under the tree.

Qin Mingjun wanted to take it, but Chen Anxiu didn't give it to him, he hugged it all the way up, and when he got inside, he found that it was not much different from other ordinary residential communities, that is, it was neat and clean, and there were more soldiers in and out. The others are also five-story unit buildings, and Qin Mingjun lives on the third floor.

When he walked to the door, Chen Anxiu felt that something was wrong, for no other reason, that is, the room was too quiet, not like someone at all, and after entering the door, he found that there was no one in the living room.

"The others haven't come yet?" Chen Anxiu raised his wrist to look at his watch, it was only a little past six o'clock, if it was a normal office worker, it would take a little time to go home and change clothes and then rush here.

Qin Mingjun took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, threw him a pair when he leaned over to change his shoes, and said in a very flat tone, "There is no one else." ”

Chen Anxiu didn't want to think about anything else, and continued to say casually, "Isn't it, your popularity is so bad?

Qin Mingjun smiled and said, "It doesn't seem to be very good." ”

The house is not as luxurious as imagined, it is an ordinary layout of two bedrooms and two living rooms, and the decoration is very simple, if a family lives, it can be regarded as okay, but there is no sign of marriage in the room, not even the most basic happy words, I really can't see that this is a new house, and the pile of unfinished wedding cards thrown on the table can barely be seen to be a little married.

"You won't live here in the future?" Chen Anxiu put the jar he had brought on the table in the living room.

Qin Mingjun didn't seem to want to talk about these things more, and after taking a seat on the sofa on the other side, he began to make tea, and only said, "She's not used to living here, we bought another house outside." ”

Chen Anxiu blinked strangely and said, "Rich people are so good, they can live wherever they want, and they can buy whatever house they want." ”

Qin Mingjun was amused by him and pushed him a teacup, "Are you still short of money now?" There is a chapter when he is old, and there is Lu Jiangyuan, although he still doesn't know how this person and Lu Jiangyuan became father and son.

"I don't really have a lot of money in my own passbook. If the money is not earned by himself, he always does not have so much sense of belonging, although he often touches a card from Zhang Shinian and puts it in his pocket.

It has been more than ten years since the two of them met, although they dare not say that they know 100% of each other, but they are also familiar, and they have abandoned the relationship that passed by with ambiguity, and it is quite natural to get along.

Half a cup of tea under his stomach, Chen Anxiu began to wonder if today's dinner was still settled, thinking that there would always be food at the party, but he came on an empty stomach, he was alone for a long time, and it was not very convenient to live here to order takeout.

Qin Mingjun seemed to understand his thoughts, got up and rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let you taste my craft tonight, do you have anything you particularly want to eat?"

Chen Anxiu's first reaction was to eat it? In the past, when they were in the army, they would sometimes cook some food by themselves, but most of them were just feeding pigs, and Qin Mingjun's impression was that he had basically never seen him do it. And Qin Mingjun's background doesn't look like a person who can go to the kitchen.

"Try it and you'll find out. Qin Mingjun didn't wear a military uniform today, he wore a gray sweater under his coat, and at this time, he rolled up his sleeves at night, revealing his muscular arms, and he was ready to go to the kitchen.

"I'll help you. Chen Anxiu got up and followed.

Qin Mingjun didn't say too much to him, and took out some onions and garlic from the kitchen, "You can just help get these." ”

"That's underestimating me, I'm a chef now. ”

"Chef is resting today. After Qin Mingjun finished speaking, he turned around to enter the kitchen, and didn't forget to instruct, "Don't come in and make trouble for me, affect my performance." ”

Chen Anxiu's answer was to throw him a broken garlic clove, Qin Mingjun smiled and grabbed a handful, took off the apron hanging outside and went into the kitchen.

Chen Anxiu was left outside peeling onions and garlic while thinking, Qin Mingjun is really weird today, could it be a personality mutation caused by premarital anxiety?

There are two days before he gets married, his mother is still there, and occasionally when he is conscious, he will say that the rest of his wish in this life is to see him find someone he likes to marry, and live an ordinary life, his mother is supple, no better than his aunt and uncle, her life's wish is just family harmony, and the family is safe and happy, but after the defeat of the Qin family, she didn't even have this sustenance, and was drawn by the Ji family with high-sounding reasons, swept away, and in less than half a year, the newcomer entered, and his mother never saw her husband who had been married for more than ten years until she died。

How could he be willing to go through so many ordinary days? So he was destined to give up a lot of things. Originally, it was a matter of deciding what to do, but I don't know why Lu Dao was with Zhang Shinian After seeing this person and Zhang Shinian together, he actually moved his mind that he shouldn't have, but the result was still the same, and he had to give up. The fourth child of the Ji family, the first person who witnessed the incident and the key person back then, was the last to be with An Xiu, such a thing as fate, going around and around, it is really wonderful.

"What's so fragrant?" Chen Anxiu sent the peeled onion and garlic into it, sniffing, not that he specially complimented it, but that it tasted really good.

"Shiitake mushroom cabbage, it's okay, you take it out first. I remember you liked to eat beef, and the next one was fried beef tenderloin. ”

"It's not in vain for our comrades-in-arms, you still remember that I like to eat beef, so I'll take chopsticks out of the way by the way. ”

Find someone who likes each other for a lifetime, cook a meal at home together like this, such a day, who doesn't want to, it's just that many times, people can't be greedy too much, he doesn't like Cheng Jie, and Cheng Jie doesn't like him, how perfect is this combination.

There are only two people here, Qin Mingjun still made six dishes and one soup, and the table was full of them, which was very hearty when it looked like, and in fact, it tasted good.

"Is it okay?"

Chen Anxiu did not hesitate to praise himself, and gave him a thumbs up while eating, "It's worse than me, but it's more than one grade better than Mr. Zhang." ”

The smile on the corner of Qin Mingjun's mouth paused, and then returned to normal, "Do you want to drink some wine?"

Chen Anxiu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I'll have to drive back later." In case you get caught by the traffic police, your driver's license is gone, and now you have a strong drunk driving investigation. ”

Qin Mingjun kept him, "I have a guest room here, if you are drunk, you can make up here for a night." ”

"I would like to, but there is a small person at home who can't do without people, Mr. Zhang is not at home, if I don't go back, my parents can't control him at night. "Daddy didn't mean to hack you.

After dinner, Chen Anxiu helped clean up the table, the two of them made a pot of tea again, chatted while drinking water, and turned on the TV in the living room.

Chen Anxiu casually dialed a military program, which was broadcasting recruit training, and the two of them pointed fingers while watching, not only the recruits, but even the instructors with others commented.

"I'm bringing new recruits now, and if conditions allow next year, I want to transfer him to work here on Green Island, so that I can take care of one or two. ”

Chen Anxiu took a deep breath, raised his teacup to him and said, "I thank you on his behalf." "Xiao was one of the six people in their team who came back alive, but he was wounded in the hand, although he did not retire, there is not much prospect of development if he stays in the army, and his own cultural level is not high.

Like them, they joined the army in their early teens and twenties, and most of them have an average level of education, and it is difficult to stay in the army for a long time, but the prospect of retirement is not optimistic. Even if they have been on the battlefield and fought with the enemy, after leaving the army, they are ordinary people, they also need to survive and support their families, and they are not as invincible and high-spirited as they imagined.

"It's a little bit to be able to help. "Some people can make up for it, but some people can't make it up if they want to.

Chatting and forgetting the time, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening when Chen Anxiu remembered it again, Qin Mingjun stayed again, "It's so late, call home, stay here for one night, how about going back early tomorrow?"

Chen Anxiu got up and put on his coat, "Forget it, next time, you still have a lot to do when you get married." ”

"The house is ready, and I don't have anything to do. Or are you worried that Zhang Shinian will misunderstand?"

Chen Anxiu smiled and said, "There is no misunderstanding between the two of us, but I am worried that he will not find anyone when he calls home at night, and it will be troublesome to explain." ”

Qin Mingjun's heart was clear, knowing that he couldn't do it, he took his clothes and sent him out, Chen Anxiu on the road said, "If you can, can you help me find something, it may be more convenient for you in the army." If I'm embarrassed, I don't say it. ”

"You say. ”

After Chen Anxiu finished speaking, Qin Mingjun looked at him deeply, "The problem is not very big, I still know a lot of people there, I will try to help you find it." ”

"Thank you in advance, I will invite you and your sister-in-law to dinner another day. ”

After coming out, Chen Anxiu put Qin Mingjun down, waved his hand and left, and when he turned the corner, he could still see Qin Mingjun's vague figure still standing there, no matter what Qin Mingjun's purpose was today, whether it was a simple gathering of old friends, or something else, he didn't want to leave anyone any room for reverie, this was respect for everyone, for him, for Zhang Shinian, for Qin Mingjun and his future wife.

Grandma Chen had an injection in the village clinic for two days and did not get better, so she went to the town clinic, and Chen's father wanted to take him to the hospital to check, but she didn't want to, people of her age couldn't get out if they went in, so she was very taboo to go to the hospital, and she didn't go if she could.

After hanging bottles in the town's health room for two days, she felt a little light, and the rest of the family put snacks in a little bit.

Chen Jianmin's family grows a greenhouse, and she can't leave people all day long, and the number of times she comes is less, but she comes once every two days, and Chen Jianhong's pharmacy has someone to take care of, and she stays here almost every day.

And Chen Jianhong is also here every day is Liu Xue's mother, she is a seller of small electrical appliances in the shopping mall, all year round performance is based on a mouth, the mouth is more slippery than Liu Xue, Grandma Chen leaned on the bed in the health room to hang the bottle, she knocked her teeth on the side, she knew that this old lady loved Chen Tianqi, never picked Chen Tianqi, of course, it was impossible to say that her daughter was not good, so she attributed this incident to Chen Anxiu.

"Today's young people are not like we used to, we used to make do with how we could live a lifetime, now these children are growing up at home, which one has no little temper, how can there be no bumps, people have said on TV, the two of them live like a mouthful and a mouthful, we have to touch it every day. What about Tianqi, working in such a big hospital, it must be very busy, we all understand, but Xiaoxue is not idle, she goes out to run every day, and making more money is not for Tianqi and Ruizhe, is there still this family, didn't I say, An Xiu is not authentic this time, old lady, how can Xiaoxue say that he is also his sister-in-law, he can look at it so much and not help, as a result, this matter is in the hospital, whose face is good-looking, I know that Tianqi is complaining that Xiaoxue has lost face to him, but then again, when someone is not careless, this matter can also be remedied, if An Xiu can help, we are not not not giving him money, old lady, you say, why bother so that everyone can't get off the stage. ”

She had already heard her daughter say that this Chen Anxiu was not heavy in front of the old lady, and she had a man, and the old lady was not present when the two got married.

Mother Chen was holding a warm water bag in her arms, standing outside the door and hearing it clearly, she was not angry, nor scolding, Quan Dang didn't hear anything, came in and happily stuffed the warm water bag to the old lady, and took out the warm one in her bed. It was not yet the time when it was really cold, and the heating in the health room had not yet burned, so Chen's mother was worried that the old lady's arms would be cold when she hung up the water, so she bought two hot water bags to replace them back and forth.

"Mother, if you want to eat something at noon, I'll go back and make it for you. ”

Grandma Chen has been comfortable all these years, and she has never been willing to lose herself, and she has always said whatever she wants, "I haven't eaten cumin dumplings for a long time." "After all, she is just an ordinary old lady, and if she orders it, she can't order the full banquet of the Manchurians.

"Okay, I'll go to the field and pluck some cumin and make dumplings for lunch. She left Chen Jianhong and Liu Xue's mother again, and went over to eat together at noon.

Chen Jianhong happily agreed, Liu Xue's mother didn't come up with anything after humming twice, she just counted other people's sons, and then went to someone's house to eat, how is it not like that, Chen's mother smiled and didn't say anything, lifted the curtain and went out.

There are four beds in each room in the ward of the health room, in addition to Grandma Chen, there is also an old lady in her sixties, the children are not around, she hangs water here, she sees such people in front of Grandma Chen, and her daughter-in-law is also diligent in taking care of her, so she said with envy, "The old sister is so blessed, this daughter-in-law is also filial." ”

Grandma Chen smiled, "Yes, yes, they are all filial." She just wants to find fault with the second daughter-in-law, and she can't pick it out, the second daughter-in-law given by other families only gives a lot more, and she also takes care of it when she should take care of it, that is, she knows that the second daughter-in-law is not close to her in her heart, and she can't say it outside, otherwise people can only say that the mother-in-law is too difficult to serve.

In the morning, she hung up a bottle of water, and Grandma Chen went back to the building materials store at noon to eat, and Chen Anxiu also brought a few cooked dishes from the small restaurant to eat cumin dumplings. After eating, she took a nap in the back room of the diner, and then went to hang up the second bottle in the afternoon.

Liu Xue's mother didn't go to Chen Anxiu's house to eat, she ate in someone else's restaurant in the town, and she still had the same rhetoric in the afternoon, to the effect that this matter was Chen Anxiu's fault, so that the old lady persuaded Tianqi too much, and the two of them lived for the sake of the child.

Grandma Chen didn't care what she said, she leaned on the bed and drooped her eyelids, and she didn't speak, Chen Jianhong didn't talk, she peeled the little orange in the bag on the table and handed it to the old lady, "This orange bought by An Xiu is quite sweet, mother, you can taste it too." After a long time of injection, there is no taste in the mouth, so it is good to eat an orange. ”
