Cui Fengming was reading a book in the office, he heard someone knocking on the door, he looked up through the glass window, and his face showed great surprise: "It's you!" He quickly stood up and stepped forward to open the door, and Wang Hongju strode in from outside the door.

"I really didn't expect it to be you Wang Hongju! We're finally meeting again! Cui Fengming used his only arm to hug his comrades-in-arms who had not seen him for many years.

"Lao Cui, I can't forget you, an old friend! I miss you so much! Wang Hongju also hugged Cui Fengming tightly, and his eyes were a little moist while he was happy.

"Come, sit down!" Cui Fengming let Wang Hongju sit down in front of the sofa, carefully looking at his comrades-in-arms who he hadn't seen for many years.

Cui Fengming said: "You have changed a lot in the past few years, when you first arrived at the company, you were a student soldier with an immature face, and now your style is like a leader." ”

Wang Hongju smiled: "Ha, you haven't changed at all, just mock me when you meet." ”

Cui Fengming poured tea for Wang Hongju and asked, "Hongju, there are many people in Beijing, how did you find me?" ”

"I went to your house in Dongzhimen Nanxiao Street, and I saw your mother and sister, and they told me that you worked in the school for the disabled of revolutionary soldiers, so I came here."

Cui Fengming said happily: "You can find me to show that you haven't forgotten the friendship between the two of us." ”

"Seriously, we are fellow countrymen, you are my company commander and my mentor and friend, you helped me so much in my thinking during my time in the company, I often think of the time when we fought and lived together again! Besides, we all crawled out of the pile of the dead, and there are only a few good brothers left who are in trouble in life and death! Our friendship was bought in exchange for our lives! Speaking of which, Wang Hongju was very emotional.

Cui Fengming nodded again and again and said, "Yes, I often remember you in my heart." After you wrote me a letter before you left Beijing, I never heard anything from you, and sometimes I thought that you were crawling around in the rain of bullets all day long, maybe you would report to Marx one day? Seeing you come to me alive today, I can't mention how happy I am! Are you not going to leave when you go back to Beijing this time? ”

"This time I'm going home to visit my family, and I'm going back to Hainan Island. Lao Cui, how are you doing now? ”

"I'm a person who always wants to do something big at work, and I always feel a little condescending in this school every day, and I'm generally so-so."

"Hongju, how have you been doing in the past few years? I see that you didn't wear a military uniform, and eighty percent of you transferred from the army, right? ”

"I've changed jobs, middle school teacher, and this is the first time I've used the summer vacation to go home to visit my family!"

Cui Fengming asked with concern: "How are you doing in politics?" Is there a promotion? ”

Wang Hongju smiled bitterly: "I don't behave well in politics!" Not only was he not promoted, but he was demoted! ”

"That's not right! You are a scarce high-level intellectual in our army, and after the baptism of war, you should have a lot of room for improvement in the period of peacebuilding! ”

"Don't mention it! I'm getting mixed with that Li Qiming again! If he hadn't played this internal reference for me, I might still be in the army! Wang Hongju wanted to speak and stopped, and under Cui Fengming's questioning, he told the collision between Li Qiming in the land reform.

"Li Qiming is a person, I know, he always looks bitter and hateful all day long, and he only has hatred and nothing else in his heart! Such a mentality can still be used to fight and kill the enemy in times of war, but it is obviously undesirable in terms of the transformation of the old society and the construction of the new society in the era of peace. ”

Wang Hongju said: "I agree with your point of view, in fact, revolution is not so simple, revolution is a complex scientific activity that puts great ideals into practice. Some people always boast of themselves: I am a big boss, I am a good root, I am bitter and hateful, and I have a firm class position, so I am a natural revolutionary. Now that the country has ended the war and opened a new page in the construction of new democracy, if they do not improve their political and cultural quality and keep up with the development of the times in their thinking, it will be very difficult for them to meet the needs of national construction in the new period. ”

"Hongju, your thinking has matured a lot in recent years."

"It's not mature, you can't say these things casually, you can only complain behind your back."

"Your words will be heard by Li Qiming, and he will say that you are not a fellow traveler of the revolution."

Wang Hongju said sadly: "He is the kind of person who prides himself on being upright and has a firm position, and his contempt for intellectuals and political discrimination against comrades from bad backgrounds make me unacceptable!" ”

Cui Fengming deeply understands this. He saw that Wang Hongju was talking about the past as some unpleasant things, so he wanted to adjust the atmosphere, he squeezed his smile and said, "Hey, let's change the conversation between the two old men, let's talk about women, okay?" ”

Wang Hongju said with a little sarcasm: "You are a guy who comes to talk about women, I can't compare to you!" ”

"Brother, what happened to your pink confidante who was arrested and imprisoned by Kuomintang spies?"

"She was rescued from the court and almost lost her life! She works for the Beijing Municipal Education Bureau. Now I am teaching in the mountainous areas of Beijing. ”

"How are you two getting on now?"

Wang Hongju had a smug smile on his face when he heard Cui Fengming mention Huang Tingting: "We have always loved each other and are scheduled to get married during the Spring Festival next year." ”

"Good! I congratulate you in advance, don't forget to invite me when the banquet is set! ”

"The first thing I invited is you, good cigarettes and good wine are enough for you!"

"Good! Interesting! But let's not keep talking about the official history, do you have a history of romance? Cui Fengming asked with a wicked smile: "I heard that most of the women in the south are beautiful and beautiful, you are such a fair and handsome young man who has not met a few beautiful women who are good with you in the south?" Tell us about your sex affair in the South, okay? ”

Wang Hongju told the story between himself and Lin Meijiao vividly. Cui Fengming listened to it with relish, and after listening to Wang Hongju, he clapped his hands a few times and said, "Wonderful!" It's wonderful! The story of you and 'Leizhou Xishi' is even more exciting than the story of me and Chunxiu! Your courage in protecting the weak is commendable! It's a pity to lose a headmaster position! As the saying goes, 'you don't have a master, you have your own home.' 'Go back to your hometown and develop yourself again!' ”

Wang Hongju said: "I will return to Beijing sooner or later. Lao Cui, tell me about yourself! You're not a big man, do you have a woman around you now? ”

Cui Fengming pointed at Wang Hongju's head and said, "Aren't you pretending to be confused!" I told you, there is only one woman in my heart, and I will not marry Chunxiu! It's a pity that I don't know where Chunxiu is until now? ”

"After so many years, you're still looking for Chunxiu?"

Cui Fengming hung his head and said: "Where can I find her in the vast sea of people, if she is not in Beijing, I may not be able to find her in my life!" ”

"Didn't you have any thoughts of looking for another woman in the meantime?"

"I don't agree with the organization that introduced me to several objects, some of them are younger and more beautiful than Chunxiu, but somehow I just think Chunxiu is good!"

"I understand your psychology, because Chunxiu is the first woman you love, and she impresses you the most!"

"That's for sure. There is another reason for me to just tell you, I always feel that I can find the feeling of mother's love in Chunxiu! I would especially like to be a good child in her arms. ”

Wang Hongju was surprised and said, "Huh? You big man turns out to have a mother-love complex! Abnormal! ”

"I can't say that! Anyway, I like mature and open-minded women! I think what women like most to men is her warmth and maternal love, and I can't stand the arrogant little girl! ”

Cui Fengming suddenly remembered something, and he asked Wang Hongju very mysteriously: "Hey, do you remember the little nurse who changed my dressing in the hospital?" ”

"It's the one who talks so badly and looks good?"

"That's right! She's courting me right now! Very fanatical pursuit! ”

Wang Hongju was surprised and said, "Huh? Is there such a thing? She's also in Beijing? ”

"Not to mention in Beijing, she and I are in the same unit, and she was transferred at the beginning of the year. She works at our school clinic! This girl sticks to me every day, and I can't shake it off! Guess what she said to me? She said that she secretly fell in love with me when I was in the hospital, saying that she liked my masculinity; She also said that it was fate for her to see me again, and it was God who wanted to make our marriage possible. Is this a coincidence, you say? ”

"Then promise her, that girl is good! People deserve you! ”

Cui Fengming said resolutely: "No! I once swore that I would find Chunxiu! If I can't find her, I'd rather never marry her!

Wang Hongju didn't want to tell about seeing Chunxiu, he was afraid that Cui Fengming would pester Chunxiu to make trouble for her family after he found out, but he saw that Cui Fengming was still so persistent waiting for Chunxiu, and he decided to tell Chunxiu that Chunxiu was married and wanted Cui Fengming to die.

Wang Hongju said to Cui Fengming: "The incident you said is not a coincidence, I encountered an even more coincidental thing after returning to Beijing, you can't even think of it!" Do you want to guess? ”

"What's the matter?" Cui Fengming asked curiously.

"Coincidentally, there is nowhere to find it when you step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. I met a guy who has a relationship with you, guess who! Wang Hongju sold Guanzi.

Cui Fengming stared at Wang Hongju with wide eyes like a prisoner, he closed his lips tightly and thought solemnly, and suddenly he slapped his thigh and said, "As soon as you say that, I guessed eighty." You've found the guy I asked you to find, haven't you? ”

Wang Hongju pretended to be mysterious: "Guess who I found?" ”

"Hah! You've found my spring show! Cui Fengming happily waved his fist and stood up.

Wang Hongju smiled and said, "Look at you happily, how do you know it's her?" ”

"That's right! You've seen the spring show! Wang Hongju, are you selling it to me? ”

Wang Hongju was not as happy as Cui Fengming, but he hung his head and said: "I saw Chunxiu, but don't be happy too early, Sister Chunxiu is no longer yours!" She's married! ”

"She's married? Why doesn't Chunxiu wait for me? Cui Fengming was a little deflated.

Wang Hongju asked rhetorically: "When you left, you didn't say that you wanted to marry Chunxiu, and people didn't say that they had to marry you?" ”

"I don't care anyway! Chunxiu is my daughter-in-law, and I want to snatch her back when he gets married! ”

"You robbed someone's daughter-in-law against the law! Also, people may have forgotten about you a long time ago! It's hard to say if she's willing to deal with you! Wang Hongju deliberately poured cold water on him.

Cui Fengming asked anxiously: "Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about how you met Chunxiu first?" How is she doing now? ”

Cui Fengming told Cui Fengming in detail what he heard from his mother. Cui Fengming laughed after listening to it: "Brother Hongju, I am confident that I will snatch Chunxiu back!" ”

"Why?"

Cui Fengming said to Wang Hongju with confidence: "First, Chunxiu is a little wife for others, I understand that Chunxiu will not do this unless she has to, and she is married to an old man, Chunxiu will definitely not really love that man." Second, now the new society practices monogamy, and if Chunxiu, who is the second room, does not love that man, as long as she files for divorce, the government will approve it. This third point is the most important, that is, I, Cui Fengming, love Chunxiu, and she must still have me in her heart, and I can call her heart back as soon as I appear! ”

"But if that family is kind to Chunxiu, and Chunxiu is not willing to be ungrateful, what should you do?" Wang Hongju gave Cui Fengming a problem.

Cui Fengming thought for a while and said, "No matter what it is!" Anyway, I must snatch Chunxiu back! Cui Fengming couldn't sit still, he got up from the sofa and walked in the house non-stop, suddenly he stopped in front of Wang Hongju and said, "Hongju, tell me how to find Chunxiu?" I want to see her right away! ”

"Chunxiu is my mother's friend, and I can't contact her."

Cui Fengming said impatiently: "Then I will go with you to find my aunt after work to ask for Chunxiu's address." ”

"My mother clearly told me that I can't tell you about Chunxiu, because he is afraid that you will disturb the normal life of others. If my mother knew that I told you about Chunxiu, she would have to scold me! ”

Cui Fengming said in a pleading tone: "Brother, you have to help me anyway, you tell me the news about Chunxiu, and you don't let me see Chunxiu, aren't you going to kill me?" We are brothers in distress, you must help me meet Chunxiu! ”

Cui Fengming saw that Wang Hongju still didn't let go, so he flattered and said: "Hongju, you are a caring person, you have to save me from the sea of suffering!" ”

Wang Hongju saw Cui Fengming's anxious appearance and said: "I understand your feelings, in fact, I should help you meet Chunxiu, but you have to handle the relationship between you and Chunxiu correctly, don't force it, if you don't get it right, you can't even be a friend!" ”

Cui Fengming saw that Wang Hongju was relieved and happily agreed: "No problem! I'm not going to give Chunxiu any trouble! ”

Wang Hongju pondered for a while and said, "In this way, I will set up a bureau for you and Chunxiu to have a natural meeting on one occasion." ”

"What's your plan?" Cui Fengming asked with great interest.

Wang Hongju said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed! I won't tell you! Unless you invite me to dinner tonight. ”

Cui Fengming said: "Okay! Don't you say that I will invite you to dinner today, I want to do my landlord's friendship! I've thought of the place to eat tonight, which is the Juxianlou Restaurant where I once worked. Now that I've found Chunxiu, I'll take you to see the old place where I had feelings for Chunxiu, and by the way, I'll let you see the guy with peanut skin! ”

"Lao Cui, where is that peanut skin!"

"Yes, I looked for him last time I went to Juxian Mansion for dinner, and he is now the head chef! The old guy was still thinking about Chunxiu and asked me if I knew Chunxiu's whereabouts. ”

Wang Hongju said: "It seems that this peanut skin is a thief's heart and does not die!" Today, we can't let go of the peanut skin, we have to let him serve a few good dishes to our brothers! You say, don't you? ”

"Of course! I have to ask him to pour wine for our brothers! ”

The two of them laughed happily!
