Ye Boxuan and Xia sat on the hillside, each holding a bottle of liquor in their hands, and they looked at the city at the foot of the mountain together.

This year, 1985, Ye Boxuan was promoted to major general.

An idealist who suddenly lost his way......

He and Summer expressed in a slightly lost voice: "This may be the most glorious moment of my life, and there will be no surpassing." ”

Summer Drink's face turned red, and she instantly turned her head to look at the hero in the eyes of countless people.

……

"Shall I do something else? Something else to do? ”

Summer's persuasion sounded a little incoherent: "No, Ye Boxuan, you can't be willful." Aren't you most satisfied at this time? How can this satisfy the great energy? ”

Summer swallowed her saliva, if she didn't categorically break the idea of the person in front of her, Ye Dashao would really be able to do something that could not be turned back!

"A generation of generals, a magnificent battlefield, you can have those experiences that you can have? You don't want to teach the younger generations? Have you fulfilled your mission?

You should be in the right position to cultivate batches of characters like you! Who says it can't be surpassed? To see a young officer achieve in the new era is to surpass yourself! ”

……

Maybe Ye Boxuan was really reluctant to take off that military uniform, or maybe what Xia said was very reasonable, this thought, Ye Boxuan only showed a trace of fire with Xia, and it was instantly annihilated.

He began to try to find himself again, set goals for himself, and encourage himself to rekindle the fire in his heart.

……

Ten years later, in the mid-nineties......

Summer seems to have become a hit overnight.

This is because she has a soft, rigid and kind image. Answer questions from journalists from all over the world in plain and accurate terms.

Just because of this scene in her life, the photos of her past youth, her resume, and her half-life achievements were turned out one by one.

Anyone who pays attention to summer will always find that no matter what era this woman is in or what role she plays, she interprets the definition of "excellent" in all aspects, and is praised by the people for a while.

And Ye Boxuan, who took a step forward in 1995, thought that he was on the cusp of the storm for a while by taking advantage of his daughter-in-law's light.

For Ye Boxuan, this is a wonderful feeling, whether it is before a meeting or walking in the compound. The first thing someone says to him is always to start with a congratulation.

Obviously. It is no surprise that everyone has promoted him to another level, but his wife has made everyone have higher expectations, because everyone is patriotic.

Ye Boxuan recalled carefully, or was he often congratulated when he was a child in the summer and Xiaowan, right?

The couple became famous in order to avoid this moment. They are in the most "beautiful" moments. They all retreated.

This is a long trip. Changed the fate of many people.

……

For the summer, during this holiday trip, she got to know many of Ye Boxuan's former subordinates. She also knows a lot of stories from his heart.

The former soldiers who have reached middle age, they are doing different positions, but when they see Ye Boxuan standing in front of them, their expressions and their excited "regiment commander" are so similar, and they are all enthusiastic when they listen to it.

There was a comrade-in-arms who became the director of the local tax bureau, and he excitedly held the VCD and opened it in front of his comrades-in-arms, connected it to the line, and connected it to the TV.

In the summer, I found that the TV was showing a clip of Ye Boxuan's military parade.

She heard the applause that rang out instantly, and she heard the man wipe the corners of his eyes and say, "I'll show this paragraph to whoever I see, and I'll tell them that this is my regimental leader!" ”

Those faces, they were tied together on the battlefield as one life, more than ten years have passed, they think about that scene, think of their regiment commander.

Summer listens, watches, feels......

It turned out that he had so many comrades-in-arms;

It turns out that after so many years, he can still accurately tell the mistakes made by those people under his hands;

It turns out that he is quite able to speak, and he can talk about how immature everyone looked back then.

It turned out that when they drank too much, they would read out the names of so many comrades-in-arms together, and they would cry when they thought of their comrades-in-arms;

It turned out that Ye Boxuan would not only comfort her in summer, but he would also pat those middle-aged men on the back.

……

Summer checked the list in his hand, which had a detailed address, "I said, is this it?" ”

Just when Summer wanted to find someone to confirm, they saw a dilapidated wooden door open a few hundred meters away from them, and Summer heard a familiar loud voice.

"Bao Dan'er, that dead child! When Lao Tzu poured out, he had to be beaten! ”

A middle-aged woman laboriously held the wooden table with both hands, and said back as she walked:

"How old is he? Don't scold the old man, it's easy for young men to scold and waste! ”

……

Ye Boxuan and Xia were dressed in casual clothes, and they stood in the distance and stopped to look at the couple in tacit understanding.

In a few moments, a noodle stall was erected, and next to it was a dark-skinned man sitting on a small bench, with an upside-down bicycle at his hand, and he was repairing the wheels.

……

"The mountains."

Ma Dashan looked up at Ye Boxuan in front of him, his mouth was half open......

"Ma Dashan!"

"Here!" Ma Dashan instinctively stood up, and he screamed in reply, choking in his voice.

The pedestrians passing by, the people sitting at the round table waiting to eat noodles, they all looked at Ye Boxuan, and also looked at the man who was crying and couldn't help himself.

"Commander? Head! Ma Dashan took a step forward, crying like a wronged child in an instant, the tears he shed were the bitterness buried in his heart over the years, he didn't know what to say, he only knew that he repeated it over and over again to call "head of the regiment".

The bicycle was kicked over by Ma Dashan's foot, the wheels turned, the speed of rotation was like Ma Dashan's life, it was safe and stable a moment ago, but suddenly accelerated, but he didn't hold the handlebars.

Ye Boxuan's big palm slapped Ma Dashan's trembling shoulder a few times in a row: "What are you crying about!" Why didn't you know to go to Kyoto to find me? ”

Ma Dashan bent over, his tears dripping onto the concrete floor: "Shame on you!" ”

"Nonsense!" Ye Boxuan suppressed the ups and downs of his chest, suppressing the sourness that surged upward.

……

Zhao Yufeng tightened Summer's hand and sighed before speaking:

"Listen to what Lotus said, right? Alas! Man, it's fate. He had a bad temper, so he changed jobs and thought about returning to his hometown to become an official, but he was assigned to the factory, saying that there were no places elsewhere. He doesn't like to do things, he is always emotional, although he is an official ......"

Summer held those rough hands and looked at Zhao Yufeng with an old face:

"You're not right, why don't you look for us? At least it would be fairer in distribution. My Sister Lotus and Liu Xingtian are examples, they were both replaced at that time, and later they didn't develop well as criminal police? It should be a second-in-command now. How can you get him to go to the factory? If you don't want to, what kind of development can you talk about? ”

Zhao Yufeng shook his head while crying: "It's fate!" It's fate! It's okay to go to the factory to do a good job, the factory is still yellow! ”

Ye Boxuan in the room spoke loudly, and he scolded Ma Dashan, who was crying bitterly and excited: "I'm still not your leader?!" Ready to go to Kyoto now! Repair a bicycle, you do this with all your strength? Give me a new look! ”

……

When Ye Boxuan and Xia set off, many middle-aged men gathered together in this remote province, and they had a common name - veterans.

There are some of them who are doing well now, and there are also those like Ma Dashan who have gone to Kyoto to find the "regiment leader" in the near future, and they all saluted Ye Boxuan with a military salute.

Ye Boxuan, who was sitting in the car, shed tears in front of summer for the first time unabashedly, he looked at the loess slope, and said:

"If one day the motherland needs them, they are still duty-bound, and they are veterans." (To be continued.) )
