Chapter 57: Silent Suffering
Lu Weijun lives on the 5th floor of one of the buildings in the compound, and Yuan Mian doesn't remember which one it is, anyway, it's in the middle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Walking into Lu Weijun's house, Yuan Mian found that Lu Weijun's house was very large, probably more than 200 square meters! The decoration was also good, quite luxurious.
"Dad, Mom, Yuan Mian has arrived. After entering the door, Lu Weijun said.
"The chief is good, the aunt is good. After entering the door, Yuan Mian said hello to Chief of Staff Lu, who was also dressed in formal clothes, and Kang Li, who was wearing his usual clothes.
Seeing the bottle of packaged Wuliangye in Yuan Mian's hand, Kang Li said with a scolding voice: "Oh, your child, it's true, you came to your Uncle Lu and Auntie's house for dinner, where did you still bring gifts?"
"Hehe, this isn't the first time I've been here. Yes, yes, yes. With that, Yuan Mian handed over the bottle of Wuliangye. has also been out of school for so long, and Yuan Mian naturally will not understand this aspect of dealing with people.
"Well, this time Auntie accepted it, and next time I won't be allowed to buy anything. Kang Li said with a smile.
"Well, I'll listen to Auntie next time. Yuan Mian said with a smile on his face, aren't they all like this when they are guests?
After taking the bottle of Wuliangye, Kang Li beckoned Yuan Mian: "That's right~ Come in and sit!"
Entering the living room, Yuan Mian found that opposite Chief of Staff Lu was sitting a woman wearing an olive green dress, the woman looked like she was forty years old, looking at her epaulettes, there was a gold star on it, she was a major general.
"Hello two chiefs!" Yuan Mian walked over and gave a military salute.
"Sit down! This is home, and you don't have to be as polite as you are in the army. Lu Weiwei pointed to the sofa next to him and motioned for him to sit down.
"Yes!" Yuan Mian subconsciously responded and sat down.
After sitting down, Yuan Mian found that the head from the four headquarters on the opposite side was looking at him with a kind gaze, yes, kindness.
Yuan Mian didn't know if this was an illusion, and just when he didn't know what to say, the female chief spoke: "You are Yuan Mian, right?"
Yuan Mian nodded and said, "Yes, chief." ”
"Don't you wonder how I knew about you?" Zhang Xiumei asked with a smile, but her gaze never took off his face.
"I'm curious, but the rules of secrecy say: don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Yuan Mian looked at Zhang Xiumei and said with a smile, he always felt that he seemed to have seen this chief somewhere, but he thought about it carefully and had no impression at all.
"Well, I heard about you from when you were with the North Sea Fleet, and that's a good job, guys. A trace of fluctuation flashed in Zhang Xiumei's eyes, and no one noticed it.
Yuan Mian naturally knew what the female chief was talking about, and it wasn't the incident where he beat up a Korean officer? Speaking of this, Yuan Mian still blushed a little, and said with an embarrassed face: "How can it? At that time, ......wasn't it impulsive?"
"Soldiers, you should have some blood. You're doing the right thing, that's right. Zhang Xiumei's tone had a hint of pampering, Yuan Mian and herself, who were inside, didn't notice it, but Chief of Staff Lu Da, who was an outsider, heard it.
From the moment the two of them started talking, Lu Weiwei began to pay special attention to the two people in front of him, and he found that Yuan Mian actually looked quite like Major General Zhang, especially the delicate eyes and eyebrows, which were almost identical.
Coupled with what Zhang Xiumei said, the chief of staff of Lu University had almost determined that Yuan Mian was Zhang Xiumei's son, but Yuan Mian didn't seem to know that Major General Zhang sitting opposite him was likely to be his biological mother.
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment. Yuan Mian smiled.
"You're welcome. Zhang Xiumei smiled faintly, "My name is Zhang Xiumei, and I am from the General Political Department, if you don't dislike it, you can call me Aunt Zhang." ”
"Really?" said Yuan Mian in disbelief, his eyes subconsciously glancing at Lu Weiwei.
Yuan Mian's glance was suddenly captured by Chief of Staff Lu, and he asked with a smile, "What are you looking at me? This is the business of the two of you." ”
I saw Zhang Xiumei nodding with a kind smile and saying, "Really, I don't lie to you." ”
"Hehe, then you're welcome. Aunt Zhang. Yuan Mian smiled, but he didn't know that Zhang Xiumei almost blurted out the sentence "I'm your mother", but reason made her calm down.
"Hey. Zhang Xiumei responded with a smile.
"Chief, Aunt Zhang, I'll go to the kitchen to help first, let's talk first~" Yuan Mian stood up and walked in the direction where Kang Li had just gone, if he guessed correctly, the kitchen should be over there.
Regarding the fact that Yuan Mian mainly wanted to help, Kang Li did not refuse, so Lu Weijun, Yuan Mian, and Kang Li were all busy in the kitchen.
"Wei Jun, didn't you say that you still have a brother, why didn't he come back?" Yuan Mian asked Lu Weijun, who was cutting garlic next to him, while washing the vegetables.
At this time, Kang Li took over the conversation, and she said: "Weihai is a combat readiness duty unit, and a major day like Chinese New Year's Eve is to be spent in the army." ”
"Oh, Auntie, I see. Yuan Mian nodded and said, he naturally knew why the officers of the combat readiness duty unit had to spend the Chinese New Year in the army, it was because they needed to sacrifice the time spent with their families on this special day to protect the safety of the motherland and the people!
Not only won't the enemy relax their peeping eyes on you just because you're celebrating the holidays, will they're likely to give you a devotion blow at this time when the whole people are celebrating and relaxing!
This year, the Lu family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner actually did not become a little stiff because of the addition of two outsiders, Zhang Xiumei and Yuan Mian. On the contrary, everyone looked like they were happy, and the atmosphere was wonderful.
At the dinner table, Lu Weiwei opened the bottle of Wuliangye that Yuan Mian bought on the spot, poured some for everyone, and Zhang Xiumei, who usually doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, drank a little bit for the first time.
Yuan Mian and Lu Weijun, who have always had a good amount of alcohol, drank a lot, and after the three of them drank a few sips of the glass one after another, Zhang Xiumei's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said: "Yuan Mian can't drink it, drink less, you must know that your Chief of Staff Lu has a very good amount of alcohol." ”
Yuan Mian waved his hand, smiled kindly, and said, "Aunt Zhang, it's okay, I'm drinking well." Let me tell you, when my father and I spent the winter in the mountains, we had to drink our specialty roast wine every day, and that wine was called strong. Hehe, if you don't drink in the winter, with our poor weather, you have to die of cold. The amount of alcohol was practiced at that time, and it was out of the way. Hey. ”
Looking at the smile on Yuan Mian's face, it was also such an understatement, but Zhang Xiumei knew that that kind of life would never be easy.
Thinking about it, her nose was slightly sore, and her heart felt like someone had been pulled hard: it was her child, who had been struggling to survive in such a harsh living environment for more than 20 years, until she became an adult. But during this most important growth stage of his life, as a mother, she has been absent.
What child is not the flesh of the mother's heart?
Who can understand the suffering of seeing each other but not being able to recognize each other?
The most bitter suffering is the bitterness that reaches the heart, but it cannot be spoken.
