Summer stops at the position of "minister".

The reason is very simple, she doesn't have a time machine, and she doesn't dare to miss the days with Ye Boxuan.

She wants to accompany Ye Boxuan, little by little, little by little, holding his hand, slowly enjoying the retirement time, and slowly consuming the remaining days.

Stay with him until one of them has no more strength.

……

Ye Boxuan has become a handsome old man, his figure is still straight, he loves to wear slim suits, and he pays more attention to appearance.

The quality of love for beauty has not changed, it has always been, but the temperament has changed.

He became more stubborn, he refused to accept old age, he had to dye his hair often, dye all his white hair black, and hide it.

He looked tougher than middle-aged on the surface, and he just buried his fear, because his summer was still so young, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to match her.

Ye Boxuan lived to old age and finally understood what "fear" was.

……

In the summer, he took Ye Boxuan to the bar, Ye Boxuan didn't like the messy atmosphere, he preferred to listen to piano music, have a book in his hand, and have a cup of hot tea at hand.

But he didn't say anything, he accompanied the summer, the two of them sat in the dim card table wearing sunglasses, and occasionally this stubborn and still handsome old man would take a small umbrella-style toothpick to prick a grape, hand it to the dancing old lady Summer, and sneered:

"It's not a shame, it's not deep."

At this time, Summer would mysteriously remind Ye Boxuan: "Let's come here, don't tell the children, don't forget." ”

"Humph! I'm not old. Not confused yet! ”

Several times, the old man Ye and Mrs. Xia, who are young and in love with each other and old companions, always go in and out of the night in the middle of the night.

Although they will take a deep breath every time they come out, they will not tell each other where they hold their hearts, but will only secretly sigh in their hearts: "My mother, my heart is uncomfortable." "But they still do.

Playing ball, going out to eat in the middle of the night, meeting for coffee, etc., young people love to do it, and they have also done it secretly.

In the summer, she was very happy that Ye Boxuan could accept this, and what made her even happier was that once the old man Xu Xu and Zhang Luo sang. They sat in huge boxes. General Ye Boxuan suddenly changed the repertoire.

Over the years, Ye Boxuan has almost sung Hongyan to death, and after visiting the bar for a while, he actually heard "Love the country and love the beauty more." ”

"Good boy is full of guts. Strong men are proud and famous all over the world.

There's a beauty in the Northeast. The Yellow River flows to the west......"

Okay. This weird old man.

In the summer, the corners of her eyes smiled deeply, and the old man of her family would temporarily change the lyrics. Sing her, do you hear it? She's a beauty!

……

Arguably. Their retirement days are very exciting, they have the back of looking forward to their children coming home and pretending to stand at the gate inadvertently, and they have the dream of old age, and this dream, they have been walking on the road.

In the first half of every year, from the day of spring, summer accompanied Ye Boxuan to embark on a "dream journey".

Over the course of several years, they traveled together through eight provincial-level administrative regions, carrying lists and sometimes even contacting local civil affairs departments.

What are they doing?

They're looking for someone.

They were looking for Ye Boxuan who had been a squad leader, company commander, battalion commander, regiment commander, minister, and army commander, and his subordinates who had returned to their hometowns, especially the ordinary soldiers who followed Ye Boxuan to the front line in the battle.

Ye Boxuan and Xia said:

"I also want to see their faces that are not afraid of sacrifice and grin."

For Ye Boxuan's words, for the bright tears in his eyes when he looked into the distance, Xia smiled and said, "Okay!" The older you get, the more sentimental you are, don't you? Don't you just want to go out and play? Walk! ”

This walk, a persistence is a few years of the situation.

Ye Boxuan and Xia set up a foundation, the kind of foundation that guarantees the lives of veterans, whether it is illness, pension, or re-entrepreneurship.

……

In the first half of the year, they were busy fulfilling their dreams, and in the second half of the year, it was time for Old Man Ye and Mrs. Xia to go out to feel life, which was the highlight of their colorful old life.

In the summer, he always repeated in Ye Boxuan's ear a hundred times without changing:

"Look at the Greek islands;

Listen to the waves of the Aegean Sea at sunset;

chasing mountain eagles in the Alps;

rowing a dinghy in Venice;

Eat Italian pudding;

Buy two pairs of brightly colored socks to witness that we are still young;

The most brilliant role model is charity without leaving a name, so young! ”

In this way, Ye Boxuan couldn't stand the chatter of summer, and they set off every year, but they tossed hard.

Until one day......

Ye Boxuan yelled: "Where's the tie clip?!" Where did you put my tie clip?! Fallen abroad, look at you, I didn't remember to bring my marriage certificate when I first got married, and now I went out and lost my things, you! ”

And not only did Summer not get angry, she even lowered her head and listened to the scolding, and kept apologizing: "I was wrong, I'll get you back." ”

Sitting on the edge of the bed in the summer, she carefully pulled out the tie clip that he had been holding and caring about her from the palm of Ye Boxuan's hand who was taking a nap.

She said to herself, "Bo Xuan, what should I do? You're getting more and more forgetful. ”

……

A few years later:

"Mom, this is your favorite roast duck, eat it while it's hot."

Carrying things to the kitchen to load dishes, Summer looked at the back that looked like Ye Boxuan in a trance.

Xiao Wan'er saw Summer's infatuated eyes, and she quickly put a big smiling face in front of Summer: "Mom, I'll eat with you." ”

"Okay."

Summer gulped down, but while eating, she suddenly commented: "Where did you buy it, it's not that taste!" This isn't the one you often queue up at all?! Ye Boxuan, why are you fooling me?! ”

Noisy was frightened, "Mom! ”

Xiao Wan'er cried: "Mom! ”

Summer went into the bedroom in a trance, and she couldn't hear what her children were talking about.

She lay on the bed, her hand reached to the side, she only knew that the position was empty, empty for a few years, the man was gone, and she was left alone.

The last words he said to her were: "If there is a next life, let's continue, I haven't gotten along with you yet!" ”

Summer closed her eyes and she had a long dream.

In that dream, in that life, without her participation, she was looking at things from an outsider's perspective after 1973.

The girl called Summer, she became very quiet after a high fever, she knew how to farm better than herself, her mother's family was still so poor, so poor that the girl and Dongzi had a big quarrel because of oil, and her father sat in the yard, frowning.

A year later, her brother-in-law still sent her to the army, saying that she was asked to change her introverted personality.

It's just that the girl didn't have a chance to talk to the regiment commander Ye Boxuan, and she didn't become a pacesetter.

On the day of the end of her recruits, she was assigned to the border regiment as an ordinary medic.

Summer was anxiously looking for Ye Boxuan's shadow, she didn't want the fragments about that man in her dream to pass by in a flash, she didn't care about the girl's future, she was rummaging, she was looking for Ye Boxuan's traces in her dreams.

There are still clues left, how many years later, Ye Boxuan and Ning Xunyi held a wedding.

I didn't mention it in the summer......

"Mom!"

"Mom!"

Ye Xin and Ye Wan sent away their father Ye Boxuan many years ago, and on this day, they sent away their mother Summer. (To be continued.) )
