In the early morning of August 4th, Lu Li went out of the hospital with his travel bag, the train was at 11 o'clock in the morning, and he and Yang Shiguang and Zhu Jiahua agreed to meet in front of the station to see that it was still early, so it was too late to walk over.

As soon as the courtyard door across the door opened, a man walked out, and the two of them glanced at each other, and were stunned at the same time, "Dog ......"

"Luli?" Gou Li (later rewritten Han Xiaodong) unnaturally ripped the corners of his mouth, and said hello to his teenage playmate, "Morning." ”

"How do you ...... Coming back? ”

"Go home and visit family." Han Xiaodong looked very restrained, and smiled a little awkwardly, "Are you going out?" ”

"Take the train and get some errands. By the way, how many of us are back? How many days can you stay at home? ”

"I only got home yesterday, I can't stay for a few days, and I have to go back."

Luli looked at his best friend from his youth, he was half a head taller than himself, but he was dark and thin, his cheeks were deeply sunken, and the pear vortex, which was originally very cute, was gone, "That, where are you joining the army now?" ”

"China." After saying a word, the two looked at each other and smiled, the distance in each other's hearts that had been torn apart by time was shortened at this moment, "Nan (Jing), artillery." ”

"A few more years? By the way, I heard from the telebox, our country did something against Vietnam during the Spring Festival this year? How are you? ”

"Hey, I'm going too."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Oops, that's awesome!" Luli praised loudly, "I really didn't expect that, by the way, you're not hurt, are you?" ”

"Nope. Our artillery is always a little better. ”

Lu Li didn't understand this kind of thing at all, and he had the heart to ask a few more words. Time does not allow it, "I still have something to do." If you can stay a few more days, just wait for me to come back, and we'll have a good get-together. ”

"Okay."

"Then I'm leaving."

Watching Lu Li go around the corner of the alley and disappear in a moment, a burst of regret suddenly rose in Han Xiaodong's heart: I wanted to find time to say sorry to him several times, why did I waste such a good opportunity today? I'll talk about it when he gets back.

Lu Li waited at the station for a while, and Yang Shiguang and Zhu Jiahua also arrived, "Teacher Yang." Thank you, I'm afraid you're going to have a hard time this time. ”

"Nothing." Yang Shiguang smiled, "I feel bored to stay at home during the summer vacation, and I want to go to the south with you, speaking of which, I want to thank you for giving me such an opportunity." ”

Zhu Jiahua chuckled, "Teacher Yang is right. Staying in one city all the time is not only limited in terms of vision. The field of vision is not open, and even people's minds have become like being in an iron cage, so it's better to go out and walk more! Little Lou. You're in your prime, so you should go out like this! Mr. Yang, are you right? ”

"It's time. Let's go inside. ”

The three of them got into the car, or went to the north (Beijing) first. Then buy three more tickets for the Beijing-Guangzhou Line from here and send them directly to Nanguo. This time it was better luck. Luli actually got three sleeper tickets, two lower berths and one upper berth (there were no middle berths at that time).

When the train started, Luli opened his travel bag, took out ham, eggs, tea leaves, and his aunt's flatbread, and distributed them to a few people, "Eat some, you have to go for a few days." Riding such a long-distance train, people are easy to get angry, teacher, Brother Hua, let me make you some tea? ”

"Sit down and rest for a while, shall you?"

"It's okay, we've got a few days to go." Lu Li called hot water to make tea, put it on the small square table, picked up a piece of cake and nibbled on it, "I haven't eaten breakfast yet, I'm hungry, don't you eat?" ”

Zhu Jiahua and Yang Shiguang looked at each other and smiled, the latter was just that, the former was a few years older than him, but when he was with him, he always felt like a child, "Xiao Lu, what was it like when you went to Yangcheng last time?" It's been vague a few times, and this time tell us about it? ”

"Okay." Lu Li said while eating, and by the time he finished speaking, the car had already crossed the border of Cangzhou.

"It's not bad!" Yang Shiguang sneered and said: "This big lie, these people have deceived you, right?" ”

"Yes, Xiao Lu, don't you want to think about it, if someone sends a telegram back, won't your Western scenery be exposed? How dangerous was that? ”

"I don't have a better way, I told Brother Hua last time, now it's all unified purchase and sales, and things like clothing have to go through the second business, can I still go to the mall to buy? With the little money I brought, I might have bought clothes and brought them back with a travel bag. It's not enough. ”

"That's true, but Luley, there's something I always want to ask you, how did you figure it out, and you just wanted to do it yourself? Why can't you go to work in the factory like everyone else? ”

"I can't say it either, maybe you just want to give it a try, right? I'm used to being lazy, that's how it was at school, and then it's the same when I go to the countryside, I don't have a fixed time for going to work and getting off work, so to speak, it's more freewheeling, I want to get up at what time I want to do it, and if I don't want to do it, I won't do it - if I'm in the factory, this will definitely not work - Teacher Yang, Brother Hua, am I too selfish? ”

"It's not selfish, it's just your personality. I've heard people say that you were an expert in production when you were in the merchant forest? Never deliberately hid because no one asked? Zhu Jiahua asked with a smile: "If this is not the case, I am afraid that I will not go to the countryside for a year, and then join the party, right?" ”

"That's just because I can drink."

Zhu Jiahua and Yang Shiguang laughed at the same time!

The train roared along the established tracks, and Luli got up from time to time and waited attentively to the two people; Yang Shiguang and Zhu Jiahua accepted his service very calmly, they didn't pay attention at first, but then they found that when he was doing these things, he seemed very skilled, to use a Tian (Tianjin) dialect to describe, this guy is very eye-catching!

Yang Shiguang just felt that his legs and feet were a little numb, so he took out a pair of slippers from his travel bag; As soon as she sneezed, he closed the window, and with a yawn and a stretch, he took everything away from the bed. He didn't need to say a word from others, he thought of many things in advance.

"Luley, it's getting dark. Go to bed early, right? ”

"It's okay, I'm not tired yet. You go to sleep first. Call me if there's something you want. ”

"Okay, I'll go to bed first." Yang Shiguang is old after all. No more than the two of them, he rolled over and fell asleep.

"Xiao Lu," Zhu Jiahua sat for a while and bumped him on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's smoke a cigarette and talk for a while." ”

The two walked to the junction of the carriages, and Zhu Jiahua lit a cigarette. "The last time you went to my place, there was something I didn't tell you."

Lu Li's heart sank, there will be no change, right? "Oh?

"Don't worry, it's another thing. It's mine...... Well, the only thing that can be done for you is to let people let go of this unhappiness, and as for whether they can continue to have this kind of interaction with others, they don't have all the guarantees - in this regard, you have to rely on yourself. ”

"I ...... Got it. If you can talk about it, you can talk about it, and if you can't, you have to forget it. This time, the first thing I wanted to do was to solve this knot in my heart. The rest are put back first. ”

"Hey, that's right." Zhu Jiahua took out a cigarette. "One more thing." Do you remember Jun Hanping? ”

"Remember, what's wrong?"

"One time we were all chatting together. Speaking of you, he listened very attentively, and later came to me, listening to what he meant, he wanted to learn from you. Zhu Jiahua smoked slowly and said, "He originally wanted me to give him an idea, but this kind of thing, interlaced like a mountain, where do I understand?" Therefore, after returning to Tian (Tianjin) this time, he may go to you, and if you can, you can take him with you. ”

Luli nodded, "I didn't say it, he and I are also friends." ”

"No, you don't understand what I mean, Xiao Lu, you are willing to take him, that's a matter for the two of you, and it has nothing to do with me. Although Hanping and I know each other, we are not very good friends, and you don't have to feel embarrassed because I said this. ”

"I know, Brother Birch. But you may not know it, but I also planned to bring more people in this time if it goes well - what I'm doing right now is just me messing around, and it would be better if more people came in and formed a market in Tianjin! When the time comes, it will be easier for everyone to make money together. So, from a certain point of view, helping others is helping yourself. ”

Zhu Jiahua nodded with satisfaction and picked up another one. Lu Li looked a little dazed, after such a while, there were only three cigarettes? If this continues, how much do you have to smoke in a day? "Brother Hua, you said, do I have to give someone a gift this time?"

"You don't have to give gifts for the time being. Although there is a trend of going through the back door now, but for now, if you send it, people still don't want to accept your affection, and they don't want to continue to communicate with you, isn't the money spent in vain? ”

This made Luli a little disgusted, is everything measured by money? If that's the case, why do you want to go to Yangcheng? With the nearly 7,000 yuan earned this time, where can you not buy clothes in the country? Do you have to get here? But thinking like this in my heart, the surface is not revealed at all, "Well, you say, you say." ”

"That's about it, if things are well discussed, when you come back in the future, bring some gifts, which can not only enhance your friendship, but also strengthen your relationship. It will be good for you in the future. After saying this, Zhu Jiahua finally snuffed out the cigarette butt, "Let's go, go in and sleep." ”

*************************************************************

After fifty hours of trains, the three of them walked out of the Yangcheng Railway Station and stood at the corner of the street again, Lu Li didn't know what it was like in his heart; "Hey, here?" Zhu Jiahua looked left and right, raised his hand and shouted, "What about this?" Guoying? This way! ”

A man in a grass-green military uniform ran over with a smile and hugged Zhu Jiahua, "Come, let me introduce you, my younger brother - cousin - Guoying; Guoying, this is Mr. Yang Shiguang Yang, this is the Lu Li I mentioned to you in my last letter. ”

Zhu Guoying is somewhat similar to Zhu Jiahua, with thick lips and plump cheeks, with a Chinese face, not angry and arrogant, "The teacher is good, Xiao Lu is good." Come, let's take the car and go. ”

Lu Li noticed that under the sentry box not far from the side of the road, there was a grass-green jeep parked, Lu Li was still sitting in a jeep for the first time in his life, and happily arrived in front of the car, suddenly stopped, and looked at the command platform of the country on the road, there was a policeman directing traffic, but it was not the person I saw last time, "Xiao Lu, get in the car, go!" I'll take you to stay first. ”

"Oh, oh." Five people squeezed into a jeep, which was very crowded, Zhu Guoying sat in the co-pilot's seat, turned around and talked to his cousin, "...... The last time it was 76 years ago, right? In the North (Beijing)? ”

"Yes, Bei (Jing), after that time, I haven't seen you again. By the way, how are you doing here? ”

"It's good. It's just that I'm not used to the weather, but I've stayed for a long time and got used to it. Zhu Guoying replied and looked at Lu Li, "You are Xiao Lu, right?" He told me in the letter, the little guy is not simple! Do you have twenty this year? ”

"Twenty-two."

"Twenty-two? And Zhihao is big on the side? ”

Lu Li didn't know who this Zhihao was, so he paused for a moment, "Zhihao is the child of the eldest brother of our generation, and he is the same age as you this year." Zhu Jiahua explained on the side, "It's also in the army." ”

"Oh."

"Seriously, Sixth Brother, you've really caused me a lot of trouble! It took seven or eight circles to find Secretary Ma and Director Li, not to mention it, from the beginning, everyone's faces turned white! The first thing is to send a letter to the Hebei (North Province) Party Committee and ask for a serious investigation into this matter! Fortunately, I went with our political commissar, and after talking enough, I was able to suppress their anger. ”

Lu Li's face turned pale when he heard this, he was already born white, and now there is no blood at all!

Zhu Jiahua saw it and gave his cousin a look, "Less nonsense, what next?" ”

"Oh, we'll talk about it when we stay."

Yang Shiguang looked out, and there was an open gate on the side of the road, and a sign hung next to it, "Yangcheng Garrison District Guest House." (To be continued......)
