Chapter 265: Dr. Tian's Embarrassment
readx; “…… The war in Iraq has become a fact, opposing war is not the same as not having war, war is a reality that every country must face, and if there is no war, it will be a peaceful and happy world. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Peace and development are the main themes of our time, and the main source of threats to peace and development is hegemonism and power politics............ Interfering in Iraq's internal affairs and undermining Iraq's sovereignty have seriously threatened world peace and hindered the development of many countries...... Now that the United States has no name, China should seize the opportunity to accelerate the development of its comprehensive strength. Only when the country is strong will it not be bullied by others, and 'if it is backward, it will be beaten,' and this is a profound historical lesson......"
The sonorous and powerful comments of "Guozui" on TV made everyone sitting around the sofa after dinner have mixed tastes. Just as China was fighting [***] with all its might, the Iraq War broke out unsurprisingly.
To everyone's surprise, Iraq did not turn into a second Vietnam, as the "experts" had predicted. It has only been three weeks since the war was hilarious, and the armored units of the US-British coalition army have marched into Baghdad. Many Iraqi officials, including Saddam, suddenly disappeared and their whereabouts were unknown, and a large number of Iraqi troops surrendered to the US military.
Tian Wenjian grabbed the remote control, turned off the TV with a "snap", and shook his head and sighed while beckoning everyone to drink tea: "Reasonable, unexpected, I really don't know what medicine Saddam Hussein took wrong, why dare the Americans call out the Americans." ”
"Where are the elite Iraqi Republican Guard?"
After Yang Jie thought about it, he had a puzzled expression on his face, and muttered to himself: "Even if you lose air supremacy, you can still engage in street fighting, why disband his 300,000 most elite troops?" Isn't this defeat without a fight? ”
The ongoing war in Iraq is simply a mystery, and from the beginning of the war to the present, the Iraqi Air Force has been completely absent. In the face of the powerful naval and air forces of the United States and Britain, even the Republican Guard, which Saddam Hussein was most proud of, mysteriously "disappeared" even if the air force was preserved as it did in the last Gulf War.
Tian Wenjian pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully: "The vast majority of senior officers in Iraq have experienced the first Gulf War, and they have all learned the combat mode of the US military. They clearly understand that even if they have iron-clad armor and brave men who go forward one after another, they can only helplessly become deaf, blind, and dumb people stripped naked in the face of uninterrupted air and long-range attacks, ubiquitous electromagnetic attacks, and military satellite tracking.
Besides, whether they are really loyal to Saddam Hussein has to be questioned. If nothing else, a large part of them were bought by the US military long before the war. As soon as the flames of war ignited, Saddam Hussein had no control, and he only knew how to drill tunnels, so how could he care about command? ”
To Tian Wenjian's surprise, Xiao Pepper suddenly interjected, and said with a wry smile: "It's okay to fight a dozen, otherwise our wages will not rise until the Year of the Monkey?" ”
A few years ago, NATO's bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the US military's "accidental bombing" of the Chinese Embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia suddenly woke up the top leaders in Zhongnanhai, and the national defense budget was finally slightly increased after more than a decade. Despite this, there is still a big gap between the treatment of military personnel and that of civil servants and employees of public institutions in local political institutions.
"In the end, it is the tiger girl who can see so far."
Tian Wenjian was happy, and while taking the fruit handed by Xiao Na, he asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I want to ask, what is Lord Lingzun's official residence now?" Do you have two more golden beans on your shoulder? ”
"What's more? It's almost taking a back seat. ”
Xiao Pepper pouted and said with a depressed face: "The above now attaches importance to the Navy and Air Force, and it is not easy for my father's army to be laid off." It's not ...... Even our old political commissar has come from behind. ”
Wang Ronghai's official fortunes are on par with Ren Ran's, and he was just promoted to major general four years ago and served as deputy political commissar of the Air Force Political Department of the Southwest Military Region. Last year, he was promoted again and is now the deputy political commissar of the Air Force. It is said that he not only refused to be placed by the local government, but also completed the conversion of civil aviation pilots from scratch and became a captain of an Air China passenger plane.
It seems that to others, the salary package of a civil aviation captain is so high, which does not seem to be anything. But Tian Wenjian clearly understands that this is not an easy task for a soldier who is only one step away from the general. Even Tian Wenjian can imagine that the reason why Commander Xu gave up the placement of the local political axe and chose [***] flight was because he couldn't do without planes and flights.
A special-grade pilot with nearly 3,000 hours of flight time, a division commander of an air force ace division, was forced to leave the pilots because he was responsible for the leadership of the flight accident, especially the air force where there are not many special-grade pilots enough to provide talents to civil aviation, and this is undoubtedly the greatest sorrow of the Chinese Air Force.
Thinking of this, Tian Wenjian's mood was extremely heavy, and he was stunned for a while before he said lightly: "It's too late, let's everyone rest." I'll go to the study to read the book, Cortana, you can watch and arrange it. ”
Although the house left by the master is old, it is also a three-bedroom apartment. What's more, the house behind Fu Jianguo is still empty, and it is not a problem to arrange for three people to rest.
But I haven't seen each other for so many years, and Pepper doesn't want to sleep in the guest room, so she insists on whispering with Cortana. The country is easy to change, and the surname is difficult to change, Tian Wenjian has long been surprised by such a thing, so he agreed to her request without hesitation. Yang Jie and Zheng Xiaolan only clarified their relationship and did not officially get married, so naturally they would not be embarrassed to live together. After saying hello to Tian Wenjian, he went to the back building alone under the leadership of Xiao Na.
Xiao Na had already cleaned up the guest room, and Zheng Xiaolan, who had finished washing, walked gently outside the study and knocked on Tian Wenjian's door. Looking at Zheng Xiaolan in pajamas, Tian Wenjian couldn't connect with the restrained and restless yellow-haired girl five years ago, and asked in a gentle voice while beckoning her to sit down by the computer: "Lanzi, how are you doing all these years?" ”
"Good, very good."
Xiaolan bit her lip, peeked at Tian Wenjian, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Chen, Uncle Li, and Political Commissar Yang will go to the school to see me whenever they have the opportunity. The students who were admitted from the R Army also took good care of me. Even Political Commissar Wang, Aunt Han and Yaya called me from time to time and asked someone to bring me something. ”
Tian Wenjian nodded slightly, but couldn't help asking, "How many years have you been with Yang Jie?" How did you two meet? ”
Xiao Lan's face was red and red, and she was stunned for a while before she said in a mosquito-like voice: "His father is the director of the R Group Army Hospital, and Uncle Chen met me when I sent my grandmother and me to find my grandfather. ”
"Oh, I see."
Tian Wenjian was completely relieved, and after thinking about it, he said with a smile: "It seems that Yang Jie has still made some sacrifices for you, after all, as a child who is the elder in the compound, it is much smoother to return to the R Group Army than to develop in the Air Division." ”
"Yes."
"So what are your plans for the future? Are you going to settle down in Longjiang, or do you want to go back with Yang Jie after changing jobs? ”
"I haven't thought it's that far yet."
Speaking of this, Xiaolan suddenly raised her head, with a painful expression on her face, and said solemnly: "Uncle Tian, in fact, I came this time to hear your opinion. To put it bluntly, without the folks in my hometown and the health team of the Air D Division, I would not be where Zheng Xiaolan is today. Although I am just an ordinary military doctor, as long as I stay in Longjiang, I can do what I can for the villagers......"
She is an orphan, but Yang Jie is not. From the perspective of love and family affection, she can't ask Yang Jie to abandon his parents and stay in Longjiang with her forever.
Tian Wenjian realized that she was facing a dilemma, so he said step by step: "Lanzi, it is a good thing to have a grateful heart, which shows that the villagers and the comrades-in-arms of the Air Force Hospital are not wrong about you." But you also have to understand that people don't help you because you want to get anything in return. If everyone is gracious, what is the difference between it and investing? ”
Xiaolan couldn't help but shed two lines of crystal tears, choked up and said, "You and the villagers think so, but I can't do that." ”
"It's human nature to repay kindness, but we can't drill the horns."
Tian Wenjian stood up, took out a pack of tissues from the bookshelf, wiped her tears, and said earnestly: "There are many ways to repay the society, and it doesn't have to be in Longjiang. As long as you have a grateful heart, you can repay the society wherever you are. When the man gets married, the woman gets married, and you will eventually start your own family. Imagine a person who can't even honor his parents, can he still be expected to contribute to society? ”
The authorities were confused, the bystanders were clear, Xiaolan seemed to understand something, and suddenly asked, "Uncle Tian, are you saying that I should go back with Yang Jie?" ”
"It's still the same sentence, you make your own decisions, as for whether to go or stay, you have to make your own decisions."
After Tian Wenjian paused, he continued: "It is not easy for a person to meet someone who loves him and loves him. In order to make this love perfect, there has to be someone who has to make some sacrifices. ”
wanted to become an "uncrowned king", but almost ended up in prison; just made a name for himself in the army, but was driven out of the empty D division by Division Commander Xu and Political Commissar Wang; In the post of deputy secretary of the Working Committee of the Development Zone and general manager of Longjiang Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., it was quite smooth, but it was also a wedding dress for others...... Although Tian Wenjian is now the most popular teacher at Jiang University, he is not a successful person in his career. But it must be admitted that his love with Cortana is perfect, and he is simply envious of others.
Thinking of this, Xiaolan nodded heavily and said thoughtfully, "Uncle Tian, I think I know what to do." ”
"That's good, that's good."
After chatting for a while about the study and life of the military academy and the current work situation, Xiaolan suddenly stood up, tiptoed to the door, opened a crack in the door, and saw that Xiao Na and Xiao Chili were not in the living room, so she turned around and said cautiously: "Uncle Tian, do you know why Sister Xiaomei doesn't have a boyfriend until now?" ”
Her mysterious behavior confused Dr. Tian Da, and after thinking for a while, he asked incomprehensibly, "Why?" ”
"The person she likes is you."
Tian Wenjian was stunned, he couldn't believe that this was true, and immediately laughed and scolded: "You girl, you actually joked with me." Your uncle and I are notoriously strict wives, and you can't make jokes like this. ”
Xiaolan was anxious, with a solemn expression on her face, and said impatiently: "Really, Uncle Tian, Sister Xiaomei really likes you, and even calls your name when she dreams." If you don't help her untie this knot, then she ......"
These words reminded Tian Wenjian of all the things before, and suddenly found that Little Pepper was so cute. Immediately afterward, I felt guilty for this terrible thought. How could he have such an idea, worthy of Cortana, who is in love with each other?
"This ...... This...... This, how can this be? ”
Tian Wenjian, who thought he was very profound, was a little at a loss, and even his speech became incoherent. Looking at his embarrassed look, Xiaolan nodded heavily, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that you are really in the dark, Uncle Tian, women are very sensitive to this kind of thing." If I'm not mistaken, Sister Xiao Na would have seen it a long time ago. ”
Tian Wenjian's head was big, and he couldn't help asking: "Then what should I do?" ”
You attract bees and butterflies, make people love each other to death, and in the end you ask "What should I do?" ”。 His question made Xiaolan laugh, and after thinking for a while, he said helplessly: "Uncle Tian, you are a doctor of philosophy, and you have research in psychology, if you don't even know what to do, then there is really no way." ”
Does this have anything to do with philosophy?
Dr. Tian was completely dumbfounded, and after being stunned for a while, he waved his right hand, and while motioning for her to go back to her room to rest, he admonished solemnly: "I haven't heard of it, and you haven't said it." That's the end of it, just because I don't know anything. ”
You've pushed it all the way, but what should Sister Xiaomei do? Although Xiaolan clearly understood that this was nothing to do with Tian Wenjian, she still said eagerly: "Uncle Tian, I know that you are very difficult, but you can't solve any problems by escaping. For the sake of Sister Xiaomei's future, you should find an opportunity to enlighten her, right? ”
How to enlighten? Could it be that I said to Xiao Chili: "Sister-in-law, I am a person with a wife, and you will die of this heart, right?" "Isn't that more hurtful? Tian Wenjian was not so stupid, let alone doing things that affected the relationship between husband and wife, so he shook his head and said angrily: "Don't get involved in adult's business." Go back to sleep, it's an order! ”
Looks like you're not a few years older than me, right? But in the face of the person in front of her who was very kind to her, Zheng Xiaolan couldn't say anything, so she had to pout and leave the study in frustration.
That night, Dr. Tian Da had insomnia. Tossing and turning, I can't sleep. I got up and read a book, and I couldn't read a word. The words he spent with Pepper kept coming to his mind like movie clips. It's not that he wants to have an extramarital affair, but he doesn't want to delay Pepper's future because of himself.
Maybe Xiao Na really saw something, maybe she thought about it too much, and always felt that she was not the same as usual, and the expression between her eyebrows made Tian Wenjian feel so weird. Because of this, the breakfast was tasteless, and even a little embarrassed, and I didn't dare to look at Cortana and Pepper.
“…… There is still class in the morning, I have to go to work, you can see the arrangement yourself, don't wait for me at noon. ”
Seeing that Tian Wenjian was about to go out with his briefcase, Xiao Na hurriedly grabbed it and asked with a puzzled expression: "Husband, you are confused, today is Saturday, the whole school is closed, what are the classes?" ”
This excuse was too clumsy, and Dr. Tian Da reacted at this time, slapped his head suddenly, with a suddenly realized expression, and said with a self-deprecating wry smile: "Look at my surname, I don't know what month or day of the week it is." ”
"Uncle Tian and Sister Xiaona, we only took two days off, and we had to go back before one o'clock in the afternoon, and we had to use this time in the morning to go to the high-tech zone to see Uncle Chen, and we won't eat here for lunch."
Zheng Xiaolan immediately turned around and rushed to Xiao Pepper, who was helping Xiao Na clean up the table, and continued: "Sister Xiaomei, let's take the bus back yesterday, Yang Zi and I are waiting for you at the station." ”
Tian Wenjian didn't want to get along with Xiao Chili and Xiao Na awkwardly, and when he saw Zheng Xiaolan and the others going to see Chen Yongjun, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly laughed and said: "After returning to China, I was busy with this and that, and I haven't been to see it in Jiangcheng together, to be honest...... I haven't seen him for so many years, and I still miss him. Wife, why don't we go with us to fight Boss Chen's autumn breeze? ”
Xiao Na glared at him fiercely, pointed to the little pepper beside her, and said angrily: "If you don't go early or late, you choose to go when there are guests at home, I really don't know what you think?" We're all out, what about Xiaomei? ”
What made Tian Wenjian cry and laugh was that Xiao Pepper shook his head and said with a smile: "If you want to go, you can go, don't forget that Chen Dong is also the boss of our Air Force Hospital, what is this?" ”
"It seems that this meal is saved." Xiao Na nodded, and while motioning for Zheng Xiaolan and Yang Jie to wait, she grabbed the phone and said with a wry smile: "You wait first, there are many people today, I will ask my brother to drive us there." ”
"Lanzi, don't be idle, give your Uncle Chen a call, and say that Xiao Na and I will go with you to pay him a good old age, and let him prepare well."
Everyone burst into laughter, and Xiao Pepper pointed at his nose and scolded with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you really want to come out, when is this, and you still worship your old age?" ”
"If you meet again after a long absence, you can't go empty-handed like this." Cortana dropped the phone and ran into the room to see if there were any other gifts she could get her hands on.
