23. Chapter XXIII
Yan Jin is a very measured person, Huo Hui is a single woman at home, and it is inconvenient for him to go in and sit for a long time, so he stood at the door and found a very gentlemanly reason, saying that he invited Huo Hui to dinner.
Huo Hui hesitated, Yan Jin smiled, don't get me wrong, you are also a work injury, I came to see you on behalf of the newspaper today, I didn't take anything, eat a meal table to show your heart, you just give it a chance.
Anyway...... You haven't eaten it yet, have you? He looked meaningfully at the messy kitchen behind her.
Huo Hui didn't twist, Cheng, you wait for me outside, I'll change my clothes.
She recuperated at home, wearing very loose and casual clothes, accustomed to seeing her usual capable side in the newspaper, cold and cold, quite homely, very gentle.
Huo Hui changed his clothes, the two of them went downstairs, and walked outside the compound, at half past six in the evening, the military song was played on time in the loudspeaker in the courtyard, and the impassioned tenor sounded.
Yan Jin came to the military compound for the first time, looked left and right from time to time, and said to Huo Hui casually: "I always heard about the compound before, and I thought it was quite mysterious, but this time I came in, and I really saw it." ”
"It took me a bit of effort to find this place where you live."
After knowing that something happened to her, Yan Jin was delayed for a few days because of work, and finally found time to go to Lao Du to transfer her file and want to check her home address, but the computer registered the location of her school that year, and he thought about it for a long time before calling her to ask clearly.
Who knows, when he arrived at the gate, the doorman stopped him from entering, checked the car and opened the trunk, Yan Jin was such a proud person, and he was in a hurry.
"I just went in to see a colleague and came out quickly."
The doorman looked stern, asked the man what building he lived in and what his name was, and finally pressed his ID card before letting him in.
As soon as he walked inside, Yan Jin understood why Huo Hui was so hesitant when he told him the address, this place was really heavily guarded.
Anyway, it feels like two worlds inside and out. The people on the outside don't know anything about the inside, and the people on the inside have their own set of lives.
Huo Hui smiled apologetically: "It's really strict, and it has caused you a lot of trouble." ”
Yan Jin, a gentleman, although he didn't complain, was still a little unbalanced: "Those who don't have a military license plate, and their family vehicles are not released?" ”
Huo Hui said leisurely: "Of course let go." ”
Yan Jin didn't believe it: "There are so many cars, can any of them remember them?" How can I tell at a glance that I'm from outside? ”
Huo Hui knew this place very well and told him: "Some will go to get an entry and exit pass, and if they don't have a pass, they will also remember the license plate." ”
Yan Jin was incredulous: "Can you remember everything?" ”
Huo Hui nodded calmly: "You can do it all, and no one will be left behind." ”
Yan Jin was silent for a few seconds, and then asked, "...... at your house Someone is a military man? ”
Huo Hui said, "My father." ”
Yan Jin naturally talked about what happened just now: "I was downstairs at your house just now, and I met an officer, quite young, do you know?" ”
Huo Hui didn't care: "There are all officers in this courtyard, I know everything." ”
Yan Jin was meaningful: "He called the newspaper to find you. ”
Ten minutes ago, the man was sitting in the car, straddling the car with one long leg, frowning and asking him, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Yan Jin is not good at stubble, neither humble nor arrogant, and asked: "Who I am looking for has to do with you?" ”
Hey!
Looking at it, in the entire courtyard, except for Shen Siliang and his father's generation, except for the one upstairs who he had no way to hold, no one dared to talk to him like this.
He twisted his eyebrows and scared Yan Jin seriously: "What does it have to do with me?" ”
Shen Siliang got out of the car: "I'm the security platoon commander here, this area behind you," he circled a large area with his hand and pointed to Yan Jin: "There is also this area, it's all under my control, who do you say I am?" ”
Yan Jin will be skeptical.
Shen Siliang was subjected to corporal punishment by Liu Weijiang, and was ordered to follow the sentry to exercise in the morning and evening, reloading three kilometers every day.
Yan Jin confronted him for a few seconds, and suddenly smiled faintly: "I'm looking for Huo Hui." ”
Shen Siliang shook his head: "I've been in this courtyard for more than ten years, and I haven't heard of this person, you can look elsewhere." ”
"She sued me for this address, no mistake, the sentry at the door has already confirmed it with me, why don't I give her a call and confirm it for you?"
Shen Siliang stopped talking, stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked the corners of his mouth. It was a small gesture he was used to when he was deflated, and it was also a precursor to his displeasure.
Yan Jin smiled politely at him and slowly walked into the unit building.
Yan Jin entered, Shen Siliang scratched the back of his head, and scolded silently.
Damn it.
In the past, when Huo Hui was in high school, a hairy boy who didn't know the severity of the matter came downstairs to confess his love to her, Shen Siliang met, at that time, the two had not confirmed their relationship, he was older than them, and he couldn't fight with a group of children, so he kept a straight face, held a deep one, and used this bad trick to bluff people away, and tried everything.
As a result, today, the boat capsized in the yin/ditch.
After listening to Yan Jin's words, Huo Hui's expression froze, and he slowly sighed: "Don't pay attention to him, that person is sick." ”
Rabies, when you are in a bad mood, catch whoever bites.
When she said this, she put her hands behind her back, the corners of her mouth gently upturned, and walked in the shade of the rows of poplar trees, the wind blowing the branches and the ends of her soft hair, revealing the girl's characteristic delicate skin and slender arms.
Yan Jin looked at her, also smiled, and was very cooperative: "Well, it is." ”
……
The two didn't go far, they ate at a Hunan restaurant a few kilometers away, Yan Jin is from Hunan, and said that she would try the taste of her hometown.
The reason why he came to Huo Hui this time is also very simple, after the news turmoil, Jin Neng was thoroughly investigated, strictly ordered to rectify, and the surrounding villages were compensated and resettled accordingly, and Huo Hui was given a certificate of spiritual commendation by the society.
It's ironic to say that she was suspended at that time, no one in the group sent her, not even a word of comfort, she was beaten, and the next day someone from the group came, and her attitude turned 180 degrees, setting her spirit as a typical, reporting rewards, and condolence calls one after another.
These Huo Hui were not surprised or cared, what really surprised her was that Shen Yanli was removed from her post because of this incident and transferred to an inconsecable literary section, responsible for publishing comics and short poems every day.
Yan Jin persuaded her to go back to work, and gave her a very thick envelope: "This bonus, as well as the next business trip subsidy, there will be a media internal exchange meeting in Nanjing next week, you go with me." ”
Huo Hui wanted to refuse, but when he heard Nanjing, his heart relented.
Nanjing has a special emotion for her, and she has been looking for a chance to see it again in the past few years, but unfortunately, it has not been realized for various reasons.
Seeing her hesitation, Yan Jin clipped her a piece of chopped pepper fish head and finalized it with her: "That's okay, next Wednesday night's high-speed rail, and a few other colleagues, let's see you at the station." ”
……
Today, Shen Siliang and his father Shen came back from field research, and when he pushed the door, Shen Siliang was fiddling with the model in the living room, which was assembled by Xiaohang at school before his death, won an award, and was placed on the shelf next to the TV.
Shen Zhongqi entered the house, the two of them looked at each other and didn't pay attention to anyone, and when Shen Zhongqi changed his clothes and came down from the stairs, Shen Siliang asked him while wiping the ashes on the wings: "Have you eaten?" ”
"I cooked some noodles in the evening, and there wasn't much left, why don't I get you another bowl?"
Shen Siliang used to make a mistake when he was in school and let his instructor at that time punish him to help cook in the canteen, he never admitted the punishment, and he didn't quibble, at that time there were a few Shanxi soldiers in the canteen, he soaked with them every day and chatted, after a long time, he also learned some skills.
Shen Zhongqi's face was majestic: "Stand up, don't pretend to be stupid with me." ”
Shen Siliang reluctantly stood up.
Shen Zhongqi was unhurried: "I'm not at home these days, you're about to turn the world upside down, right?" ”
Shen Siliang frowned: "Who has such a long tongue?" ”
"You're still poor !! me" Shen Zhongqi slapped the coffee table and suddenly stood up from the sofa to fight, Shen Siliang straightened his waist and asked him to beat. That means, you fight, if you have the ability, you can kill me.
Shen Zhongqi raised his hand, glanced at the model he wiped, and put it down angrily. There is only this one son left, after all, he is really reluctant.
In fact, Shen Zhongqi has always been eccentric between Shen Siliang and Xiaohang. Because Shen Siliang is the elder brother, or his wife has a difficult birth because of Xiaohang, Shen Zhongqi always puts more emotions on his younger brother.
It was because of this that Shen Zhongqi couldn't tolerate what Shen Siliang was doing outside.
He gave him a death order: "I don't care about you what you do outside, I know you have a sense of proportion, but there is only one, the farther away from the Huo family, the better." Let me know that you are not in a clear mess with her, and I will let you never see her again. ”
Shen Siliang was anxious: "You dare?" ”
"What would I not dare!" Shen Zhongqi was enraged and yelled at him: "Didn't you always want to go to Lanzhou, it just so happens that there is a shortage of staff officers in that place, and you will be suspended for five years, so you can go enough!" ”
A quiet room.
Even the secretary who was carrying Shen Zhongqi's luggage outside the door didn't dare to enter the house.
Shen Siliang stood for a while, put the model back on the shelf, picked up the clothes and left, he had long passed the age of talking back to Lao Tzu, standing in his thirties, he also knew that he felt sorry for his father, but he still had the original reluctance in his bones.
"Lao Shen, everything else is fine, but if you let me leave her alone, I really can't do it."
"She also has a father and a brother, when will it be your turn to take care of it?" Shen Zhongqi took a step back and softened his tone. "I'm not an unreasonable person, our Shen family is not ruthless to that point, I went to the mountain at the beginning of the year, and I saw the girl coming out of the temple alone, and I didn't feel good in my heart, but I'm really afraid that she will give you ......."
"Dad." Shen Siliang opened the door and called Shen Zhongqi in a low voice: "Why didn't Xiaohang back then, you know better than me in your heart." ”
Just this sentence completely injured Shen Zhongqi, the corners of his eyes showed vicissitudes of sadness, and the person suddenly withered.
Shen Siliang said: "I will go to Nanjing in a few days, you take care of yourself." ”
Shen Zhongqi turned his head slowly: "...... Going on a business trip? ”
"Xiaowei is not very good, I'll go see him."
Peng Xiaowei and Lao Xian, that was Shen Siliang's best classmates in the four years of the Military Academy, Xiaowei was one year younger than Shen Siliang, graduated and married a Nanjing daughter-in-law, and his son was only eight months old, and he was diagnosed with stage II cancer by the hospital.
In the past, Shen Siliang didn't believe in fate, was arrogant, and wanted to poke a hole in the sky, but in the past few years, I don't know when it started, and these friends and brothers around him have left one by one.
He was really scared.
I also cherish these people and these people who are still alive. Someone who is really good to him.
Shen Zhongqi knew the importance of Xiaowei in Shen Siliang's heart, and sighed silently: "Go ahead." ”
