Chapter 48: The Age of Innocence (Part II)

When Ji Ruomin saw him, he straightened up and said, "Why are you looking at me like this?" I'm telling you, I don't feel pathetic. โ€

Xu Xia shook his head calmly: "I don't think you are pitiful, I just feel that I know you better." โ€

Ji Ruomin pouted: "I'm so great, I thought you could admire me." โ€

Xu Xia leaned into her ear and said, "I'd rather help you share more responsibilities than do these things in vain." โ€

Ji Ruomin sighed: "I hope so." โ€

Xu Shrimp smiled to show comfort, and changed the subject: "Our father is the division commander, he should be a colonel, can he become a general in the future?" โ€

Ji Ruomin said: "If you are still in the People's Liberation Army, you will definitely be able to." Now that it has been assigned to the armed police, due to the limitation of the establishment, it may be more troublesome, but it is not a big problem, after all, he has always been the chief officer. โ€

Further: "Only the commanders and political commissars of the major corps and the deputy positions of the major colleges and universities of the armed police are military positions. The head of the major corps can be stronger, and the deputy position of the academy is not as good as the division commander, of course it is good for him to be the chief officer of the corps, if he can't, he can find a place to mix for a few years before retirement, and he will come down when he gets the general. โ€

Xu Shrimp thought of Ji Ruomin's rocket-like promotion speed, and asked: "You have been a soldier for more than ten years, and at that time, our father was a regimental cadre, is there anyone else in your family in the army?" โ€

Of course, Ji Ruomin knew what he was thinking, so he glanced at him and said, "Is it just my family?" My grandfather, my grandfather, and Jiajia's grandfather are all generals, and my two mothers are also soldiers, are you satisfied? โ€

Xu Shrimp smiled: "Hey, so to speak, you are quite popular." โ€

Ji Ruomin coaxed: "Then what do you think? If it weren't for the fact that there were no boys in my family, my father wouldn't want to think too far ahead, and would have married me to the right family. โ€

Xu Shrimp said cheekily: "I can't say that, my parents also served as soldiers, and they both went to the front line to fight, and they are also considered military families, and we are also the right people." โ€

Real soldiers are eager for honor and can't wait to go to the battlefield to do a fight, Ji Ruomin obviously belongs to this category, his eyes lit up and said: "By the way, you said that Director Jiang and your father fought together, where did you fight?" โ€

Xu Shrimp said: "Lao Shanbei, there will be no big battles in the future." My father, my mother, and Director Jiang were all comrades-in-arms in Laoshan, and they stayed there for half a year during the rotation period. โ€

Suddenly, he smiled: "You must not have thought that my father and Director Jiang were still rivals in love at that time." โ€

Ji Ruomin was even more interested, turned around sharply and asked, "What?" They've all chased after your mother! Tell me what's going on. โ€

Xu Xia nodded and smiled: "Okay, then I'll tell you about it." โ€

sat up to face her, and said eloquently: "At that time, my father and Director Jiang were both squad leaders, and my mother was the squad leader of the health company, and they both liked my mother. Once, they changed their positions, and as soon as they changed places, let alone repairing the fortifications, they didn't even have time to dig a hole, and they were shelled by the Vietnamese army, and most of them were killed and wounded at once. โ€

Ji Ruomin interrupted with an exclamation: "How could it be shelled, didn't you just change positions?" โ€

Xu Shrimp said: "Later, I learned that it was the Soviet satellite that saw our movements and provided intelligence to Vietnam. โ€

Ji Ruomin hated and scolded: "Damn old Maozi! He came back to his senses and urged: "You go on." โ€

Xu Xia continued: "Because of the heavy casualties, the health company and the uninjured braved the artillery fire to carry the wounded. My father and Director Jiang were also injured, but they were squad leaders, big and small officers, and they were afraid that the Vietnamese army would take the opportunity to attack, so they carried forward their style and took the initiative to stay on the position, letting those people carry the others first. When my mom ran a few times back and forth, she was left with two injuries. My dad asked my mother to carry Director Jiang first, and Director Jiang also asked my mother to carry my dad first. โ€

Suddenly stopped: "Guess who my mother carried first?" โ€

Ji Ruomin's beautiful eyes flashed, she was very moved, and she said without thinking about it: "Of course it's Director Jiang's back, the people at that time must have put the closest people behind." โ€

Xu Xia nodded: "That's right, that's what they think, so my mother carried Director Jiang first, and Director Jiang understood, my mother liked my father, and since then, she has taken the initiative to quit." โ€

After the story was told, Ji Ruomin was moved and immersed in this ordinary and special story, and stared at him silently.

Xu Shrimp asked gently: "Aren't you very moved?" โ€

Ji Ruomin bowed slightly: "I didn't expect your parents to have such a story." โ€

Xu Shrimp said with emotion: "On the battlefield, there will always be more stories." Now you know, Hemingway is not the only one who can write "The Bells of the Battlefield", among ordinary people, there are also many ordinary and touching stories. โ€

Ji Ruomin was unnatural, and coughed: "I admit that your culture is higher than mine, but unfortunately I don't know what the sea is, and I haven't heard the battlefield bells, so you'd better not talk to me like this in the future." โ€

Xu Xia couldn't cry or laugh, but fortunately, this stupid girl was more self-aware, stroked her cheek and said: "Don't say that, your family is high-profile, and your roots are red, if I don't have a high point in a certain aspect, how can I be worthy of you?" โ€

Ji Ruomin glanced at him beautifully: "You can say it." Then he asked, "Since then, your parents have been together?" โ€

Xu Shrimp said: "Yes, after coming down from the front line, my parents were demobilized together in order to get married. Director Jiang stayed in the army, and later was promoted and changed jobs, becoming a director step by step, and he can go up in the next step, at least he can be the secretary general, and there will be gains if he loses. It's my mother, a great beauty, who lives with my father, a fisherman, for the rest of her life. โ€

Ji Ruomin said gently: "I think your mother is very happy, and besides, your father is also very powerful, there are so many fishermen in the country, how many can become fishermen entrepreneurs?" โ€

Xu Xia laughed and said, "What entrepreneur? is to be a fisherman in a different way, and at most he is a rich man. โ€

Ji Ruomin said angrily: "How can you say this about your father? What a son. โ€

Xu Xia and his father have been casual since they were children, otherwise it would be impossible to know so many things in the previous generation, of course, Ji Ruomin may not be able to understand, so he said: "Okay, if you don't say it, you won't say it." โ€

Take Ji Ruomin's photo: "I took your innocent era back, put it on the desk at work tomorrow, and show it to my parents next time I go home." โ€

Ji Ruomin smiled softly: "Are you quite good at picking?" This photo is also my favorite. He frowned and said: "But this photo is too silly, ordinary people may not be able to understand it, it may affect my image, you can take another beautiful one." โ€

Xu Shrimp squinted and said, "Why do you have to be understood?" I can read it. โ€

Ji Ruomin said seriously: "How can that work?" My wife is the first image of a man, if I lose my job and don't let others look down on you, it will seem like a failure for me. Besides, you have to take it home, your parents see their daughter-in-law for the first time, how can they see my most glorious image. โ€

This stupid girl, it's really not cured to be shameless, and it's the most glorious? It's a pity that he refuses to fulfill his wife's first responsibility. Xu Shrimp smiled: "Okay, go back and choose a non-unfailing and glorious one, and I'll take it together." โ€

Ji Ruomin got up and said, "Okay, don't you want to look at Jiajia's room?" I'll take you to see it by the way. โ€

โ—‡โ—‡โ—‡โ—‡โ—‡

After choosing the photo, Ji Ruomin found the key and led the shrimp to the attic.

When the attic door opened, the image in the room came into view, and Xu Xia's breathing stopped instantly. The entire eighty-square-meter attic is full of Ji Ruojia's collection and display.

Directly opposite the door was a huge peculiar root carving that he couldn't understand, and next to it was a pile of primitive tree roots; On the left is a relief sketch of the Marseillaise about 1.5 meters high, which seems to have not been finished yet; Several small windowsills are filled with delicate clay sculptures; The cabinets on the four walls and the baskets and barrels on the ground are also full of various art models; The most amazing thing is that the four walls are full of all kinds of photos, no less than 200, it is estimated that photography should be Ji Ruojia's first hobby, and the others are all hobbies.

Ji Ruomin followed behind Xiao Shrimp, wrinkled his nose and shuttled through the attic like a trench, chattering impatiently, and kicked the tree root with his left: "Look, look, I don't know where she picked up these broken tree roots." Lift a wooden barrel on the right: "Look at this again, the broken mud has been moved." He pointed to the surrounding artwork: "And these miscellaneous things, none of them are serious, and the good attic is like a madhouse." โ€

Xu Xia didn't listen to her nagging, and stared at a work called "Watch" on the wall.

This is a color photo, but the whole photo is only black and white, and it is taken in the field on a snowy night. The picture is simple, the bottom third is an endless snowfield, the top two-thirds is an endless night sky, the whole picture is covered with heavy snow, and in the center is a round white moon.

Xu Shrimp didn't know how to take pictures, but she was still shocked by her strong artistic appeal.

Ji Ruomin stood beside him and said: "Jiajia likes photography the most, and she only has such a serious hobby." โ€

can be regarded as a good word for his sister.

Xu Shrimp glanced at her and walked to the small bookcase on the side, the top layer was Rousseau's "Confessions", Proust's "Reminiscences", Mรกrquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera", Milan Kundera's "Living Elsewhere" and Audrey's "The Time Traveler's Wife". First of all, these books are not readable by ordinary people; Secondly, you can see it, and you have to measure whether the time is worth it.

Xu Xianda frowned and turned around: "Ruomin, do you really know your sister?" Do you really think that these things and books are some kind of rags, not three, not four? โ€

Ji Ruomin walked up to him disapplausively: "What's wrong with these things?" Did it work? patted the bookcase on the side: "I have checked these books since she bought them, they are all foreign broken books, and the content is quite obscene." โ€

Xu Xia didn't know how to explain to her, pointed around and said, "Let's tell you this." Your father's monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan is a lot, but I can be sure that your sister has not spent a penny. โ€

Walked to the roots of the tree and the mud bucket: "Do you think that these roots she picked up cost hundreds of dollars each, and the largest one will cost three or five thousand; And this mud, it's all clay, and you have to pay for it. Your sister is so artistic, you never thought of supporting her? โ€

Ji Ruomin raised his head and said with extreme disdain: "I know you want to say that these are all art, but let me ask you, how many artists can support themselves?" If she wants to be an art liar, a cultural hooligan, a cheat on eating, drinking, and cheating on social status, I will definitely support her, but to be an artist, there is no door. โ€

Although Ji Ruomin is vulgar, he is vulgar, vulgar and insightful, and vulgar.

Xu Xia was speechless, so she had to say: "In this way, I'll find an opportunity to contact her and see if I can persuade her to do something serious, which not only makes her like herself, but also makes you acceptable." โ€

Ji Ruomin raised his eyebrows and said: "That's good, I'm counting on you, I hope that you, the future brother-in-law, can speak better than me, who is a sister." โ€

The two were talking, and there was a sound of footsteps outside, and it continued to speed up, obviously Ji Ruojia came back suddenly, and saw that his little world was broken into a hurry.
