Fu Lanhua graduated from junior high school and was promoted to the first level of high school, and in the winter of that year, Fu Lanhua was just over eighteen years old, and twenty-year-old Ying Xiang enlisted in the army. When parting, Ying Xiang always felt reluctant to let him be a "bad girl", and he was angry for her to be beaten, and Orchid also felt that she was in decline.

The two of them quietly came to the outside of the village, and Fu Lanhua said with moist eyes: "You are gone, who will I be angry with in the future?" ”

Ying Xiang said: "You are in high school now, you don't have to think about anything, if you have anything to say and want to scold me, write a letter." ”

"I know where you are? Where do I write? ”

"Silly girl, I will give a letter first when I get to the army, don't you know my toes?"

"Don't mind, you must not write to me, I am afraid that my parents and neighbors will misunderstand if they find out."

"What are you afraid of? Don't you want them to know? ”

Fu Lanhua muttered, "I'm still young, and I don't want them to know about our correspondence." ”

"What then? I...... I ...... "Ying Xiang wanted to say something, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again.

Fu Lanhua glared at him and said, "I can say whatever I want, look at how stupid you are." ”

Ying Xiang was blushed by her, and he said, "I said that you don't want to be angry, don't sue me." ”

"Silly, you say, I'm not angry."

"Okay, let me ask you, do you want me to leave if I'm gone?"

In fact, Fu Lanhua had been prepared for a long time, and he knew that he would have this sentence. When she heard this, she couldn't help but bend down and laugh.

Ying Xiang really laughed stupidly now, he didn't know what kind of answer was waiting for him? He was a little confused, and in this flash of thought, he regretted saying such things to her, and felt that he was too reckless and abrupt.

His face turned even redder, and he stammered, "You, you...... What do you laugh at all the time? I don't want to say it, I ...... I'm afraid you'll laugh at me. ”

Fu Lanhua squatted on the ground and still laughed, she buried her face in the palms of her hands. Ying Xiang stood in place, and he saw her shoulders squirming constantly, sometimes trembling slightly. Later, he finally realized that she was not laughing, but crying quietly.

Ying Xiang was frightened and overwhelmed when he saw this situation, he quickly squatted down and apologized to Fu Lanhua and said: "Orchid, don't cry, it's wrong for me, I shouldn't say such bastard words, just treat me as if I didn't succeed?" You can beat me and scold me, you ......"

Ying Xiang just wanted to help her, but she suddenly hugged her head, and Orchid sobbed and said, "Brother Xiangzi, you are really reluctant to let you go, I will miss you." ”

Fu Lanhua's words immediately relieved Ying Xiang, who frightened him just now, thinking that his words had hurt Orchid's self-esteem. Fu Orchid's hug blocked him out of breath, he pulled Orchid's arm away, and said to Orchid: "Yes, I'm afraid I will have to wait three or four years before we can meet again, and I will miss you too." ”

"Really?"

"Hmm."

Fu Lanhua stood up and took out a four-inch black and white photo from her coat pocket, her pink face was a little shy, she looked at Ying Xiang and said, "This is my photo, you can see it if you want me." Ying Xiang happily reached out to pick it up, but Fu Lanhua hurriedly pulled it back, and she continued: "Don't let others see it, and don't let others know about our affairs, including my uncle and aunt, if I know that you don't keep it a secret, I can ignore you in the future." ”

"Yes! I promise to keep it secret and never betray Comrade Fu Lanhua. Ying Xiang stood upright, as if taking an oath, and then opened his hands and waited for Fu Lanhua to hand over the photo to him.

Orchid chuckled, gently put the photo on Ying Xiang's hand and turned to leave, just the moment she turned around, she saw Ying Xiang casually put the photo into the lower pocket, she suddenly blamed a little unhappily and said, "You just stuff the photo in your pocket so casually?" What should I do if I fold? ”

Ying Xiang realized his carelessness, quickly took it out again, put it in his jacket pocket again, and then patted his pocket and said, "I'm sorry, I will put the photo in the diary when I go home, I must keep it well." ”

"That's pretty much it." Fu Lanhua glanced at him and asked, "Don't you have something to leave a souvenir for me?" ”

Ying Xiang thought about it at this time, but he didn't prepare, just because he was in a hurry when he went out, and he didn't expect such a play, but after Fu Lanhua asked, he felt caught off guard, and seemed very embarrassed and passive. He quickly felt for his upper and lower coat pockets, but found that he did not have anything worth keeping as a souvenir, but only found a fountain pen in his jacket pocket, which he had bought from a department store when he was in junior high school, and had been using it until now, and had been carrying it in his jacket pocket. He wanted to give it to the orchid as a souvenir, but he felt too shabby. He had no choice but to say, "Why don't you wait for me to come home and give me a souvenir." ”

Fu Lanhua snatched the outline pen in his hand and said, "Silly, I don't want anything, I just want this, I use it to write to you." ”

Ying Xiang grinned and said, "I won't write to you every day, for fear of delaying your study." Shall I write a letter a week? ”

When Orchid heard this, she shook her head and said, "Don't mind, you must not write a letter to me, I will give it to you." ”

"Then how do you know about me in the army?"

"I'll ask my uncle and aunt."

"This ...... What if I want to whisper to you? ”

Orchid was right to think about it, but she just didn't want her family and others to know about her and Ying Xiang, she was afraid that there would be gossip, saying that she was secretly in love at a young age; She was afraid that she would be scolded by her parents and teachers, as well as ridiculed by her classmates, saying that she was not doing her job properly, frivolous and improper. In short, she is not the kind of girl who is too casual and too open, and the habits of shame and honor and disgrace that rural girls have still occupy most of her soul.

However, what should Ying Xiang say? They were thinking and racking their brains to find a perfect solution. Suddenly, Fu Lanhua thought of something, and she said to Xiang: "I have a good way, not only can I understand our situation with each other, what can I say boldly in the letter, but also make my parents feel happy or feel that you care about them very much." ”

"Orchid, what are you talking about? Uncle and aunt have always been like my own son to me, do I care about them in the first place, what do you think? Ying Xiang caught her words.

Fu Lanhua admitted: "It's my analogy that is inappropriate, I mean that you can use this method to show your concern and filial piety to my father and mother, and they will be very happy." ”

Ying Xiang asked: "After talking for so long, what method did you use?" ”

Fu Lanhua said: "It's very simple, every time you write a letter, the name of the recipient on the envelope is written to my father, and in addition to the words to the old man, don't you write to me in the other folder?" The two of us communicate in this way to ensure that God is unaware and foolproof. ”

"Hehe, you ghost girl, you're so cunning, why didn't I think of it? That's great! ”

…………

A flute chirped, Ying Xiang joined the army and left, he and his recruit comrades walked in the iron cargo box, at that time he tried his best to look out of the narrow window, he saw it, his father and Fu Lanhua were holding the fence of the station together and waving goodbye to him, he almost saw the tears of the orchid flashing in his eyes, and he shouted the last sentence at them: "Wait for my letter!" ”

Sure enough, more than ten days later, Fu Lanhua received Ying Xiang's first letter. According to the prior agreement, the recipient column on the cover reads: Fu Liguo Uncle receives. The envelope contained two folded letterheads, one was a question for Fu Liguo and Lu Chunji, as well as an introduction to his life and training in the army, and the other Fu Lanhua had already secretly put it in her pocket, and after she finished reading the letter to her parents, she quietly hid in her room and began to read what Ying Xiang whispered to her.

She unfolded the letter paper, and the familiar handwriting jumped into view, the letter was not long, but the words were full of feelings and thoughts about their parting:

Orchid: The near future is good, see the letter like face. In the blink of an eye, you and I have been separated for nearly half a month, and I miss it very much.

I remember parting, you and your parents followed the crowd to the station with the farewell, I could see clearly, the lines of shallow footprints, covered with a thick layer of dust by the residual nitrate of firecrackers, the footsteps of parting, stepping on the fine drumbeat, when I saw you wave goodbye, a sad and sad turn, suddenly burning eyebrows.

Tearful eyes, thinking of each other. Have you ever remembered such a sentence: Dai Mei Lock, Autumn Water Drunk Gaze, Falling Yingwan, Flying Flowers, Grass Stained Frost, Pillow Blue Wilderness, Water Heart Shadow, Far Away Relative to the Sunset, Reflecting the Qiong Window. We are not ancients, but we love in winter, summer, spring and autumn, do not dye the flowers and cold, still nostalgic for the purple and red of spring, hold the pen and whisper the thin coolness of the years, shallow hope for happiness, do not tell the death, in the depths of time, we still smile to the warmth.

When I changed into a military uniform, along the way, and entered the military journey, I felt extremely honored and honored, I saw a lot, knew and understood a lot, and felt a lot at the same time. Orchid, I hope you also understand that although we are separated by thousands of rivers and mountains today, that true love will connect us tightly, and I believe that you and I can eventually be together for a lifetime. We can't spend the moon for the time being, we can't accompany you to the wine and green lights, there is a way: love to the end of the world to look at the other side, love but life is long. It is not an interpretation of love, love is speechless in the depths, and affection is attachment when it is strong.

Since I got on the train, I saw all the way, I really want to share with you, through the window, I really appreciate and feel how vast the motherland is, the beautiful Gangling peaks, the clear rivers and streams, the beautiful scenery is incomparably picturesque; I like the rain and smoke in the south, the turbulent sea, and the quiet and deep forest paths...... When I'm assigned to settle down, I'll be sure to take a picture and send it back to you.

Orchid, don't think about it now, your biggest task is to complete your studies with peace of mind and meticulously, and when my four-year family vacation arrives, I will definitely report to you on my excellent performance in the army.

Best regards! Ying Xiang. A certain year, a certain month, a certain day.

Fu Lanhua held the letter paper in her hand and read it three times in a row, she looked at the handwriting of the dragon flying and phoenix dance, and cried with joy for a while......
