After that, every day is the usual sunrise and sunset. The senior brother did not hesitate to risk the coldness of the former master, and specially came to Qi Yun's house to care for her a few times, and the observation result was that her performance was quite normal, although she became slightly duller than usual, but she did not show the slightest attempt to find a short-term view, and when she listened to the song with headphones plugged into the computer, she often shook her head and played a small beat, and the occasional smile on her face was not very bright, but it didn't seem like it was pretended.
It seems that that relationship has just been revealed. The senior brother put his heart back in his stomach, but I don't know why, as an audience, he was a little confused.
On the day Qi Yun's father returned from his two-month expedition to the United States, Qi Yun was extremely excited from early in the morning, jumping up and down in the room like a little squirrel, causing her mother, who was dressing up in the mirror and trying to appear in front of her husband with an elegant and beautiful face.
"Qi Yun, how old are you? It's a bit of a girl, okay? ”
The mother took out several sets of noble and difficult dresses from the closet, examined them carefully, frowned slightly and whispered to herself:
"The folds in the corners are all unironed, and Aunt Qin is getting less and less careful."
The phone at home rang at this time. As Qi Yun shouted "Mom, looking for you-", the mother put down her clothes and grabbed the extension in the bedroom.
A soft-spoken phone call made the mother's brows furrow deeper and deeper, and it was almost twisted into a knot that could not be solved. From the expression on her face, it could be seen that although her mother was trying her best to suppress her anger, a large bundle of two kicks that ignited the letter twist had been stuffed into her chest.
finally put down the phone, and the mother let out a life-threatening soul-chasing roar regardless of her identity:
"Qi Yun!"
Qi Yun, who was putting the fruit bowls, flowers, and incense candles over in the living room, heard a thunderclap on the ground, but she didn't panic, she just stole a red cherry, and at this moment, she spit out the cherry pit into the garbage in a hurry
Standing up and walking towards her parents' bedroom, she playfully glanced into the baroque foyer mirror and smiled at herself in the mirror with a V-shaped gesture.
"The head of your department said that you made a report and applied to teach in remote rural areas?"
Mother stood in front of the gleaming baroque mirror cabinet in her bedroom, looking like a queen. And now, the queen is trying to hide the anger that is about to erupt.
"Hehe, it's not too remote, it's in our province." Qi Yun smiled flatteringly, stepped forward and gently rubbed his mother's eyebrows: "Honey, don't twist hard, there will be wrinkles!" ”
"Our province is a big province, you have never left the provincial capital city since you were a child, but you don't know how poor those poor counties are! Some roads are not repaired, and it doesn't rain three times a year! ”
Mother spoke harshly. But she also deeply understands that her baby daughter is quite stubborn, and she doesn't dare to push too much, so she thinks about it and turns to follow the temptation:
"Yunyun, teaching is not fun, it's very hard! It doesn't matter if you don't eat well, don't even think about taking a bath, a pampered pea princess like you, who has been there for less than three days, will have to come back crying and crying! You young people can't be too idealistic and impulsive when you listen to the propaganda and agitation of those schools. ”
"Mom!" Qi Yun coquettishly shouted: "I'm not the only one who makes the teaching report, there are several in my class!" You also said that I am pampered, so isn't it just right to leave home and exercise this time? ”
"Don't try to scold me!" Seeing Qi Yun fooling her like this, no matter how good her mother was, she couldn't help but hang up her face: "I have inquired about your classmates, and they all had to go because they couldn't find a job in the city." ”
"Who says you can't find a job?" Qi Yun resisted stubbornly: "The job fairs in the school, the job fairs in the society, the fields are full of companies that want to recruit people, and it's not easy to find something to do?" ”
My mother said, "It's good that the job fair is full of recruiting companies, but what about people looking for jobs?" Broke through the gates. There are hundreds of people competing for a position, and the competition is two thousand or three thousand yuan a month. ”
Seeing that his mother's investigation was so meticulous and conclusive, Qi Yun was speechless for a while.
The mother sighed again: "Today's children are also pitiful, they were admitted to college in the cold window for ten years, and they were unemployed as soon as they graduated." You are different, your father has already sent your file to the provincial party committee before you graduate...... Qi Yun, who else has such good conditions as you? I see that you are accustomed to heaven, and you are not satisfied or grateful. ”
After her mother finished speaking, she looked down at Qi Yun who was sitting on the gorgeous big bed with a look of victory. Although Qi Yun couldn't answer a word, she pouted, and her eyes were full of stubborn unwillingness and persistent refusal to give up. It's clear that she won't be overwhelmed by her mother like this.
Just as the family atmosphere was heating up and pressurizing, the beautiful music of the doorbell sounded at the right time. Aunt Qin, the nanny of Qi Yun's family, was wiping the furniture in the living room neatly, although she didn't want to listen to the movement in the bedroom, but the loud quarrel still reached her ears savagely, making the honest Aunt Qin a little frightened. At this time, the doorbell was like a life-saving straw, and the breath in Aunt Qin's chest finally relaxed, and she trotted all the way to open the door.
Qi Yun's father dragged the big suitcase into the hallway, unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and his posture was straight like a big tree with lush branches and deep roots, and steadily caught Qi Yun, the little monkey who ran out of the bedroom and climbed on him like a gust of wind.
Qi Yun wrapped his arms around his father's neck like gynostemma, and said sweetly and greasy in the tone of a three-year-old girl:
"Okay, uncle! Do you need to be so handsome the older you get? Leave a way for the little boys to live! Is it really good that you always go other people's way, crowding others so that they have no way out? ”
Qi Yun's father was already in the age of knowing his fate last year, but he was really as personable as Qi Yun said. His thick hair is still black, and his figure has not been fat, with a straight posture, with a three-dimensional face with deep eyes, a nose and thin lips, coupled with the elegant temperament and sense of authority that he has cultivated for many years as an official, he still has the attraction of a young boy in front of women of all ages and classes of old, middle-aged and young people. For this reason, the naughty Qi Yun has always refused to call him his father, but learned to call him uncle like in Korean dramas, and from time to time he also "flirted", shouting "People say that dad is his daughter's lover in his last life, and my vision in my last life is so good!" It's hard to surpass in this life! Therefore, in my life, it means that the Asia-Calendar-Mountain-Great! ”
Whenever Qi Yun is so crazy, his mother is always angry and angry, but Director Qi, who has always spoiled her daughter lawlessly, just smiling at the corners of his mouth and kissing Qi Yun's little face.
"Old Qi," the mother was still angry, and before her father could sit down, she hurriedly complained: "You daughter, do you care?"
The father gave the roaring mother a reassuring look, smiled at Qi Yun and said:
"Yunyun, I have a special gift for you this time."
"Hey, I love gifts! Uncle, what a day! ”
Qi Yun pursed his lips and made a kissing sound, while squatting down next to Aunt Qin, who had just opened the suitcase and was about to tidy up, and carried out a large-scale sweep of the devil's entry into the village on the neatly folded large box of clothes and supplies.
"Don't worry, Yunyun, it's not in the box."
Qi Yunhu turned his head suspiciously, looked his father up and down, and had the intention of searching his body immediately.
"Little princess, for the sake of my bad old man's long journey and tiring travel, let me sit down and drink some saliva and catch my breath first, okay?"
Qi Yun smiled, helped his father to the sofa with exaggerated movements, handed the big teacup he was used to in his hand, and spared no effort to rub his father's shoulders and back.
Father took a few sips of tea, leaned back on the couch and stretched his arms, and suddenly the doorbell was loud again.
Qi Yun was stunned, and said in his heart, I don't know which one doesn't have long eyes to visit and disturb our family to enjoy the joy of family? But the father smiled at the corner of his lips and said triumphantly:
"Yunyun, you go open the door, the gift is here!"
Qi Yun ran to the door with a belly full of suspicion, and opened the door wide with a clang. But when he saw the unnamed object suddenly appearing at the door, he was so shocked that he took a step back, and almost didn't get back into his father's arms.
Standing at the door was a guy with long hair against his scalp, a dark chocolate complexion, a dark beard on his face, and a pair of huge, black sunglasses, which looked like the one on a Men in Black movie poster; Coupled with the eight-pack abs outlined in his tight T-shirt, the frayed jeans and dirty shoes on the knees and trousers on his lower body, and the standing posture of his hands on the back of his waist and his thumbs stuck on the old copper-colored rivet wide cow belt, it is really the underworld that will be frightened when they see it.
"Uncle, what is this?" Qi Yun was about to cry, and in his fright, he carelessly said "Who is this" as "What is this", but she can't be blamed, originally, this guy in front of him looks much more evil than Moxican who teased her on the road that day.
"Haha...... "Father laughed heartily, "Hong Jian, what did I say?" Knowing that you are dressed like this now, Yunyun must be shocked! ”
The father stood up and waved his hand to Hong Jian, who was standing at the door awkwardly reaching out one hand to touch his head:
"You kid don't come in soon, let your Yun sister get to know you again!"
Yes? Hong Jian?
Qi Yun's mouth opened as if someone had suddenly stuffed her with a whole egg, and she carefully looked at the man in front of her, who was dressed as muscular and brain-dead, and the memories of her youth were gradually reviving and thawing......
I remember being young. During the Chinese New Year, she went to Hong Jian's house with her parents to pay New Year's greetings, and the parents of the two families were in the living room to ask for warmth, and she went to the room of her brother who was familiar with her to hide and whisper. Hong Jian's room was very warm, the owner was wearing a white shirt and pants, barefoot and a pair of white socks, and his long legs stretched out like a heron, but the ...... in front of him
Qi Yun pinched himself hard, it hurt. But her heart hurt even more, like a wound a long time ago, which had long since scabbed over, fell off, and gradually smoothed out, but she was suddenly stabbed by someone, and the pain reminded her that somewhere hidden under the flesh and skin had also been tangled and wounded, and she could not be completely relieved until now.
The monster outside the door took off his sunglasses, the two thick eyebrows and a pair of eyes that seemed calm at all times were familiar, although a face was probably kissed by the California sun, and the complexion was dark, but the two looming smiles on the cheeks were still the same as before, looking extremely bright and unfortified...... Such a person must be a little deceptive in the eyes of some ignorant girls, probably the representative of the "Sunshine Big Boy", but Qi Yun is so familiar with him! But he only thinks that he is loyal to the outside to hide his inner ruthlessness and ...... Insidious.
It's just that she has grown up after all, and she can no longer be as willful and wanton as she was when she was a child, laughing and crying whenever she wants. After being stunned for a while, Qi Yun pulled the corners of his mouth:
"Brother Aji...... American steak, did you raise Schwarzenegger? ”
She leaned sideways and motioned for Hong Jian to enter the door. The mother, who had always been noble and elegant, stepped to the door and enthusiastically grabbed Hong Jian.
"Arrow, it's actually you back! What kind of surprise attack? It's so undeserved, I haven't heard Secretary Hong and Sister Qin talk about it......"
Hong Jian's attitude towards his mother was very respectful, and he repeatedly explained that after returning to China, he was not free because he had official business, and he had long wanted to come back to see his parents and aunts and uncles, but he had been lacking in skills. This time I came back by chance, and I didn't even know my parents in advance.
Mother nodded: "So, Jian'er, you have returned to China to develop?" That's right! Secretary Hong and Sister Zhu are not young, and their health has not been very good in recent years...... I said earlier, no matter how progressive you are politically, it can't replace family and beauty, I don't think it's interesting for you to live abroad for a long time, so it's better to come back to take over Secretary Hong's ......class."
"What is this talking about?" The father blocked his mother's words, "Deputy Secretary Hong is in charge of the work of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, he is in the prime of life, and he will be able to work for two terms, and he will go further!" Don't look down on Ah Jian, he's not an idle person! Ah Jian's involvement in reporting led to the Pulitzer Prize for the newspaper he worked for in the United States, and he won the Hesai Prize alone in Europe. This time he returned to China and returned to the province, and he is also the chief reporter of the New China News Agency in this province! ”
The mother's mouth opened wide in surprise. Qi Yun couldn't help but glance at Hong Jian, who seemed to have well-developed limbs and a simple mind. Hong Jian happened to look at him as well, his eyes humble and calm. Qi Yun pouted, this Hong Arrow! Since childhood, he has been excellent as if he was tailor-made according to the ideals of adults, not only with excellent academic performance, but also with a love to include all the big and small awards that can be called by name at the student stage, as long as he is a peer, there is no one who is not a head shorter when standing with him. Now out of the society, more punches, woohoo! Wang Hou will Xiangning have a kind of?
On the other hand, I have achieved nothing for so many years. The most tragic thing is that he failed to even talk about love, which is a model of double failure in career and love, thinking that his mother has loved to compare himself with the children of three friends and six friends since he was a child, Qi Yun sighed in his heart, and the expression on his face also collapsed.
"Uncle Qi, Aunt Zhu, your complexion is really good, you are getting younger and younger! It's Yunyun's sister who has changed eighteen times, slim and elegant, and she is about to be unrecognizable. ”
Hong Jian's mouth was obviously polite, and with his expression, it seemed extremely sincere, which made people feel useful. Qi Yun glared at him honestly and unceremoniously, and said:
"Are you finally willing to go back to China? It seems that the dishes of the US imperialists are not so easy to brush, and it is not that they want to return to our socialist motherland to beg for food! ”
The mother's face immediately turned black, but the father laughed:
"Jian'er, Yunyun is still angry for your reluctance back then!"
Hong Jian smiled magnanimously: "Back then...... It's all my fault. ”
Qi Yun quickly glanced at him. The mother muttered on the side, "Yunyun, how do you talk?" You two were more friendly than anyone else when you were young, why did you stumble when you grew up? ”
When I was a child, I was more friendly than anyone else...... That's true. Not to mention that Qi Yun has been following Hong Jian as a little tail since he dragged his nose so big, even if she reached the day of her 15th birthday, her mother gave her a birthday party, and the guest she was most looking forward to was not her best friend who grew up together, but Hong Jian, who was seven years older than her, went to college in the morning, and wandered around with the student union all day long and didn't know where to go. Fortunately, Hong Jian came to congratulate her on her birthday that day, although she was half an hour late, and the birthday gift was a big bear about the same height as Qi Yun.
Qi Yun laughed when he saw the gift: "Don't you see that this girl has grown up and has long been out of the age of playing with rag dolls?" ”
That being said, he still cherishes the bear next to his pillow, and looks at it before going to bed and after waking up, and says a few words. Sometimes a little temper comes up, and he kicks two feet.
Qi Yun's little temper tantrum is not completely unreasonable, since the birthday party, Hong Jian has not seen anyone for more than a month, and he has not even made a phone call.
Later, Qi Yun finally couldn't bear it, put down the girl's reserve and took the initiative to call Hong Jian's house, Hong Jian's mother Aunt Qin answered her phone, but it was not as enthusiastic as usual, but as if she had picked up a hot potato, she hummed a few words and transferred the phone to Hong Jian's father, Uncle Hong.
Uncle Hong had been in the army for many years, and he had always been heroic and determined, but the voice on the phone this time revealed something indescribable, thought about it, and said decisively: "Yunyun, I'll go to your house to say." ”
Uncle Hong came to Qi Yun's house, asked Qi Yun to sit in front of him like a peer, and "confessed" to her that Hong Jian received an offer from the New York Academy of Photography a month ago, and miraculously applied for a scholarship and a half.
Qi Yun didn't believe it at all, turned around and smiled at his parents and said, "Uncle Hong is so fashionable, spend April Fool's Day with me!" But she looked at her father and her mother, and saw that they were not smiling, and their faces were serious. The smile on Qi Yun's face also cooled down slightly, and he asked tentatively:
"Uncle Hung...... It's true? ”
Sure enough, Hong Jian's letter arrived a few days later. Inside the envelope was a picture of him standing at the door of Columbia University, the "temple" of pilgrimage that was revered by all those who read news and took photographs, smiling like a silly child. Qi Yun glanced at it and threw the photo aside, eagerly flipping through the letter. At the end of the letter, he told his parents to pay attention to his health, and at the end of the letter there was a sentence: Ask Sister Qiyun on behalf of him.
This understatement infuriated her completely. You must know that she cried bitterly after Uncle Hong told the news of Hong Jian's departure that day, and buried her head in her father's arms for a long, long time like a wounded little injured bird, and her crystal heart, liver, and glass stomach were all shattered.
Probably Uncle Hong condemned his "atrocities", and two days later, Hong Jian actually made a transatlantic call to Qi Yun's house, at that time transoceanic calls were still very expensive, but Qi Yun was not rare to answer.
"Columbia, I'm easy. Not to mention that applying for a scholarship is unique, there are only two or three liberal arts here in Chinese mainland. ”
Qi Yun pursed his lips, amazing! The tail barely reached the sky, right? She hated it in her heart, but it was not so easy to show it, so she just asked sullenly:
"Let's go...... But why didn't you tell me beforehand? Going to Columbia University isn't so unsightly, is it? ”
He scoffed: "Who dares to tell you? You're so troublesome, when the time comes, a handful of snot and tears, where else can I go? ”
Qi Yun was so angry with him that he couldn't speak, and hung up the phone with a bang. It's okay to save him money on phone bills.
Qi Yun, although he is definitely not associated with words like gentle Shuyuan, is not an unreasonable person. The only person who can casually provoke her and make her emotions reach crazy heights at the speed of a roller coaster is undoubtedly Hong Jian, who grew up together and knows where her seven inches are.
Hong Jian arrived in the United States and never looked back. Like a bird of prey flying out of the cage, he completed his master's degree at the New York School of Photography, and then stayed in an American news agency. This incident made Qi Yun even more angry, and he judged rationally that guy must have been dazzled by gold bills, garden houses, especially big-breasted and long-legged foreign girls, and completely became a traitor to our great socialist motherland! Qi Yun scolded him for being ungrateful, and at that time she was encountering a series of new life shocks: preparing for the college entrance examination, entering the university to live in the university, especially later, the love that always made her heart go up and down, and the love that suffered from gains and losses distracted her and diluted the memory of Hong Jian. In addition, the provincial government compound later divided a piece of land on the outskirts of the city to build a new site, Uncle Hong and Aunt Hong moved to live in the new courtyard, and Qi Yun's family gradually did not shake the pu fan to each other in the summer evening, because the old and new sites are far apart, the two have rarely moved around in the past two years, Qi Yun almost felt that he had forgotten Hong Jian.
But today this guy suddenly appeared in front of her! This inevitably evoked the new and old hatreds buried in Qi Yun's heart when he was fifteen years old. She only felt that she had been abandoned all these years, lonely and lonely, but she didn't know what to say, so she sat in a corner of the living room in a daze, looking at the person sitting in the center of the sofa, smiling.
The mother's posture is elegant, and she greets Hong Jian with enthusiasm:
"Jian'er, although you are now old and promising, don't be restrained, here is the same as your parents...... When you were a child, you came to our house every day and called me mom - you forgot it, didn't you? ”
"I didn't forget." Hong Jian scratched the short hair on his head that stood up like a hedgehog on his head, and smiled, the two dimples on his face actually looked a little shy, which was also familiar to Qi Yun. Since childhood, in front of the elders, Hong Arrow is definitely a harmless and obedient card.
"At that time, you and Yunyun went in and out every day, and the people in the compound would always say to your father and Uncle Qi when they mentioned the two of you: "The pair of children in your family," the mother continued to smile and said: "I still remember that there was a cartoon called Saint Seiya at that time, and many half-sized children like you like the goddess Athena in it, and said that when they grow up, they want to marry a girl like Athena, only you say: What's so good about Athena?" If it were me, I would be willing to marry Qi Yun - by the way, have you talked about a girlfriend in the United States? ”
"Mom!" Qi Yun spoke out very embarrassed, "When I was a child, I was a child, why do you still take it out now?" ”
"Ha, the girl has grown up, and she knows that she is shy!" Mother looked at Hong Jian: "But I think it's a virtue of oriental girls to blush, not that I said, those American girls are too open, like two crazy people, and they really don't plan to live in their homes if they want to marry home!" You say, isn't it? ”
Hong Jian nodded of course, saying that what his mother said was extremely true, and at the same time glanced at Qi Yun with a smile. The mother was in a good mood, and the thin layer of frost on her face when she fought with Qi Yun just now disappeared without a trace. She is like a butterfly busily shuttling among the flowers, diligently pouring tea and peeling fruits for Hong Jian. In the end, he remembered that Hong Jian was a professional photographer, and funnily brought out a large photo album taken by Qi Yun in the photo studio, claiming that he wanted Hong Jian to evaluate the product.
That large album of makeup, posture, lighting, and even beauty has always been a big problem for Qi Yun, but his mother likes it very much, saying that it is extremely beautiful and has a ladylike temperament. Qi Yun didn't know how much it took to put his father as a cannon barrel openly and secretly, so that he put his mother in a real life-like way, and hung a few "photos" in the living room under his bed. At this moment, seeing his mother proudly showing off those photos to Hong Jian, Qi Yun almost vomited blood three liters on the spot and died of exhaustion.
"Look at this, looking back and smiling, doesn't it look like that Hong Kong sister?" The mother happily pointed to a photo and asked Hong Jian with a side face.
"Uh......" Hong Jian said for a moment. Qi Yun estimated that even if his skin was thicker than the corner of the city wall, it would still be too difficult to say such a level of hypocrisy, after all, "Auntie, although Yunyun ...... looks like you, but I don't know anything about this kind of sugar water tablets, and I really can't evaluate it. ”
Then Hong Jian patiently explained to his mother that this kind of sweet, regular, technology-heavy and light-feeling photos are what their photographers call "sugar water tablets". Listening to Hong Jian's evaluation of these photos as "cookie-cutter and lacking soul", my mother was a little uncomfortable, and said with a slight protest:
"It's not all the same, I watched Yunyun's shots, and they looked better than the ones they hung outside the studio to advertise."
"That's nature," Hong Jian glanced at Qi Yun with a smirk, "After all, the foundation is here." ”
Qi Yun knew that Hong Jian definitely didn't have anything good to say in her heart, but she didn't care. And on this point, she agrees with Hong Jian's opinion, "good visual feeling, flat psychological feeling" is also the reason why she hates this series of photos, in this regard, she and Hong Jian just see the same.
Seeing that the guests and hosts were not speculative in the project of viewing photos, Qi Yun's father hurriedly asked Hong Jian about some work matters:
"Jian'er, you have traveled south and north over the years, and I heard that you have also gone deep into the war hinterland of West Asia and North Africa to conduct interviews, tell us quickly, isn't it thrilling?"
Hong Jian smiled slightly:
"It's true, the conditions are tough. Our interview team once drove more than 800 kilometers from the blazing desert of North Africa in a dilapidated jeep with no glass windows or doors to reach the place where we were going to do the interview. ”
Qi Yun imagined the endless yellow sand and the camels slowly passing through it, he could imagine what kind of miserable Hong Jian was at that time, and then looked at the person in front of him who was dressed strangely but was still neat, and couldn't help but laugh, very happy.
Hong Jian raised his eyebrows, and then said:
"When I arrived at the accommodation, the first thing I saw was the bodies of two fellow victims. Originally from France, they were Pulitzer Prize-winning and were wounded by extremists in their coverage of the war. The next day, I and my colleagues spontaneously held a simple farewell ceremony for the two journalists, and they were hastily buried there before returning to work. ”
"Wow, your profession is too risky," Qi Yun couldn't help but interject: "Do you have to wear a helmet and body armor every day?" ”
Hong Jian glanced at Qi Yun:
"A body armor and helmet of almost 20 kilograms, and it's all made of steel, if you were 24 hours a day in the climate of North Africa, you really wouldn't have died from a stray bullet -- because before that, you would have died of heat."
"Tsk, this job sounds good, but it's too evil." The mother was speechless: "No wonder Sister Qin has been thinking about you returning to China." The hearts of parents are similar, you young people are charging ahead, and our old ones are not as anxious at home as ants on a hot pot? ”
"AUNT ZHU, IN FACT, DANGER IS ONLY OCCASIONAL," HONG JIAN SAID WITH RELIEF: "MOST OF THE TIME, WE STILL HAVE TO BE 'LOBBY REPORTERS' - THAT IS, WAITING IN A FIVE-STAR HOTEL ON THE EDGE OF THE WAR ZONE, BECAUSE WHEN THE WAR IS STALEMATE, IF WE ACT RASHLY, IT WILL NOT ONLY BRING MORE CHAOS TO OURSELVES, BUT ALSO TO THE WHOLE WAR, SO WE CAN ONLY EXERCISE IN THE HOTEL, CHAT, PLAY CHESS, SWIPE FACEBOOK, AND THEN PAY ATTENTION TO THE BROADCAST ANNOUNCEMENTS. If the notice says that we are allowed to go to where and when we are allowed to do the interview, we can go. The two colleagues I just mentioned caused such a tragedy because they acted on their own initiative in order to learn the truth that we had no means of knowing. ”
"Are there a lot of extremists there?" Qi Yun asked curiously.
"In some military dictatorships, people have been taught violence for decades, so if everyone gets emotionally out of control, he can become a mob."
Hong Jian thought for a moment, and then continued: "In contrast, life and death are not issues that I often think about, but more often I think about how to find the truth I want from the tight media control, cautious diplomatic rhetoric, and mixed rumors." ”
"Arrow is right. At that point, if you think too much about safety, it will affect your concentration and judgment. The father said, "A good boy has ambitions in all directions, and although that experience is thrilling, it is a rare wealth in life." ”
"Uncle Qi really understands us so well." Hong Jian sighed: "Three years ago, when I was interviewing in the war zone, a bomb exploded very closely, and the flying shrapnel grazed my arm. ”
He smiled and said, "When I think about it later, I am a little afraid. But at that time, it was really necessary to have this 'dullness' in order to continue the work......"
"Wow!"
When Qi Yun heard this, he jumped up regardless of his reserve. She has admired heroes since she was a child, and although she still has some prejudices about Hong Jian, she is too curious and wants to see the "traces left by gunsmoke and artillery fire" on Hong Jian's arm.
Relying on the familiarity that he had grown up with since childhood, Qi Yun salivated and leaned into the single sofa where Hong Jian was sitting alone, pulled his arm with his hand, and asked:
"Where did the stray shrapnel fall at that time? Did you leave any glorious and great imprints? ”
Hong Jian was stunned and instinctively dodged back. Qi Yun noticed it, not only did he not care, but he also had a dark and vicious pleasure in his heart-don't you want to pretend to be a warrior who doesn't care about life or death? I'd like to see if you're really not afraid of anything.
Qi Yun's father saw that the two children were still like when they were children, and there was a smile on his face that was slightly tired from the long flight. And Fang Cai, who had just criticized the American girl for being like a madman or two, praised the implicit mother of the Oriental girl, and her face immediately turned from red to blue, and from green to green.
The mother snapped and closed the big photo album, startling Qi Yun, and the "groping pig hand" who "harassed" Hong Jian also stopped halfway in a sneer.
"Ah Jian, since you don't like these photos, and you are a photographer yourself," the mother's sunny face was only cloudy for a while, and then returned to its original state, "It just so happens that the weather is good these days, if you have time, take Yunyun to the wild for a walk and take a few good photos!" ”
