Chapter 113: Farewell to Home
Fu Lanhua and Ying Xiang have maintained correspondence in this way, and their parents are still kept in the dark to this day. Therefore, when Fu Lanhua knew that Ying Zhiming and her father were arguing with a white face over her and Ying Xiang's affairs, she hid in the house alone and gloated and snickered. Ying Xiang later wrote that his unit was a radar unit of the Air Force, and he was temporarily a correspondent of the agency.
Fu Lanhua turned out the photo sent back by Ying Xiang, looked at it and looked, Ying Xiang looked particularly energetic in a military uniform, he smiled slightly, stood at the door of the barracks with a straight and straight body, she felt that he was more handsome and chic than before, just as sung in the modern Peking Opera "Outwitting Tiger Mountain": A red star is worn on his head, and the red flag of the revolution is hung on both sides. Unlike it, Ying Xiang's military pants are blue.
She wrote to Ying Xiang about her desire to join the army ten days ago, but she never received a reply from him, so she may have been delayed by something, right? She pointed to Ying Xiang's photo and said, "I'm also going to be a soldier, and I'll be wearing a military uniform like you in the future." Let me tell you, I am still a soldier in Uncle *'s army, I will never disgrace my parents, and when the time comes, let's compare two to see who makes the fastest progress in the army. Silly. ”
On the day Fu Orchid joined the army and left, Ying Xiang was just in time to go home, but he arrived home at eight o'clock in the morning, walked to the door and saw that the "Iron General" had locked the door tightly, and as soon as he put down his luggage, he heard from his neighbors that his parents had gone to deliver orchids. So I left my luggage at a neighbor's house, borrowed a bicycle, and flew towards the city.
His return this time was not an official "family visit" holiday, but a business trip passing through their area, with the consent of the organization, let him go home to see, the leave is only two days, as for Fu Lanhua's letter to him, he did not receive it, and he did not know that Fu Lanhua was leaving today. It's just that Orchid mentioned the idea of becoming a soldier to him earlier, and he was quite happy at the time, and wrote a letter to encourage Orchid, and there are a few words in his letter: I hope that in the future we will become a veritable military family, I firmly support your ideas and determination, and I wish the two of us: a winged bird in a military uniform, a knot with the people, a fist to serve the country, and a sassy and heroic posture is at the right time.
When he rode to the front of the armed forces, he saw that good fellows, they were simply crowded, all of them were relatives who had sent them off. Find a free place to put the car, he squeezed into the dense crowd, he kept asking people where the recruits were concentrated, and when he heard that the orchids had officially set off, he turned over his cuffs and looked at his watch, and the time was on nine o'clock.
In fact, it is difficult for him to squeeze around like this to enter the concentration point, but his military uniform is particularly conspicuous, and it also helps him a lot, people don't know what he does, and when they see that he is a comrade of the People's Liberation Army, they have made way for him, and it is the "three pieces of red" that has played a role, so he quickly arrived at the door.
"Ying Xiang! Ying Xiang! It was precisely because of his conspicuous military uniform that Fu Lanhua spotted him at a glance from the crowd. The unexpected surprise made her so happy that she couldn't help jumping for joy, and if she hadn't changed into a wide and loose female soldier's winter clothes, she might have rushed over. It was this winter, and the two had been separated for a whole year. Three years is not a long time, but for Fu Lanhua and Ying Xianglai, how did they work hard and pinch their fingers. Seeing each other at this moment, everyone felt too surprised and unexpected, not only Fu Lanhua, but also the old people on both sides.
The old lady Yu Juxiang actually cried with joy, she grabbed her son's arm with both hands and looked up and down with tears in her eyes, she couldn't stop asking: "Xiangzi, Xiangzi, is it really you?" How did you get back? Why didn't you write to us when you came back? ”
"Mother, it's me, I'm on a business trip, and I'll come and see it." Ying Xiang wiped away his tears for his mother, and he asked, "Is my mother's body okay?" Seems to have lost a lot of weight? ”
"Alas, after you went to the army, I ......"
"Okay, okay, you see that your old woman is chattering endlessly." Yu Juxiang was about to say something to her son, but was interrupted by Ying Zhiming on the side. He reminded Ying Xiang and said: "Orchid is going to get on the bus at eleven o'clock, it's not time, let's go over quickly!" ”
The mother quickly let go of her son's hand, nodded and said, "Go, the orchid is waiting for you." Ying Xiang's reminder from his parents made Ying Xiang feel embarrassed, he hesitated, and his father urged: "We have time to talk, let's go quickly." ”
Ying Xiang entered the concentration point with the consent of the guard, he came to Fu Lanhua and her parents, his face was full of joy, he first said hello to Fu Liguo and Lu Chunji, and inevitably introduced the process of returning home this time. Fu Liguo glanced at his wife, Lu Chunji understood, and she politely responded to Xiang and said: "Xiangzi, you came back just in time, Orchid must not know what the situation is when she arrives in the army, you can tell her about the rules and precautions of the army, teach her what to do in the army first, what to do and what not to do, you talk, we are waiting outside." ”
Look at how appropriately and grandly Lu Chunji's excuse for leaving is used, this is a person's ability and level of speaking and doing things!
Looking at the performance and expressions of the parents on both sides, Ying Xiang was a little puzzled, and he asked, "Why are the old people dodging the two of us today?" Did they know about the two of us? ”
Fu Lanhua asked rhetorically: "What do you say?" Can't you see that? ”
Ying Xiang hurriedly explained: "How did they know? Don't doubt me, I didn't tell them about it, it's really not me. ”
Fu Lanhua said with a smile: "I know it's not you, don't make a fuss, it's Fu Jun's little thing that does a good job, he heard that I was going to be a soldier and left, when he came home from Sunday vacation, he rummaged through my house while I was not at home, found and peeked at your letter, and then quietly told my father and my mother, and gave them the faith, I was so angry that I beat him." ”
"Hey, he just said it, what are you hitting him for? And then? ”
"Huh, later? Later, your father and mother will not know everything. If you know, it's not a shame anyway. Fu Lanhua looked up at Ying Xiang and said, "The appearance hasn't changed much, it's just a little dark, what's the matter?" Is it hard in the army? ”
"It's not too hard, it's just studying and training all day. I went on a business trip with the chief this time, and I happened to pass through our area, and the chief approved me to go home for two days, which happened to be just in time to see you off. ”
"Do you know I'm leaving today?"
"I don't know."
"So, I didn't get what I wrote to you recently?"
"No, there's no one here." Ying Xiang thought about it and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to be a soldier?" Haven't you always done well in your studies? Why don't you apply to university? If ......"
Fu Lanhua stopped his question with a gesture, she explained: "I'm not impulsive, I think this is a rare opportunity, being a soldier is what many girls dream of, you should know, I have wanted to be a PLA soldier since I was a child, and now that the opportunity has come, I will never let it go." ”
Ying Xiang smiled and said: "My father's old comrades-in-arms, opportunity, maybe there will be special care for being a soldier in his army." ”
"Hmph, do you think I'm that kind of person? Don't worry, when I get to the army, I will never rely on connections. Fu Lanhua glared at him and asked, "What are you going to do in the future?" ”
"What do you mean? Is it a matter of army work? Or is it a matter of the two of us? ”
Fu Lanhua's reddish face was full of shyness, and she whispered, "Well, it's both." ”
"Hey, hey, well, I'll give you a formal report on my thoughts now." Ying Xiang deliberately coughed dryly twice, and he said: "After I returned to the army on this errand, the chief told me that I would be allowed to study in the teaching team, and after half a year, the organization might decide whether to stay or go according to my academic performance and training performance. And then there is the matter of the two of us, I am fully prepared, no matter if I stay in the army, I will still not change my original decision, I will not marry Orchid. Unless Comrade Xiaofu ...... Hey, hey, hey......"
"It's oily and slippery, and it's still that stupid. Is it the same when the troops talk to the chief? ”
"Then how dare I? Not to mention with the chief, but with my comrades-in-arms, I am very well-behaved, but I can't help but get up when I see a certain comrade. ”
"I haven't seen you for three years, I didn't expect to see you on this occasion, I don't know how long I will wait to meet again, I will miss you." Fu Lanhua said, her face changed.
Ying Xiang glanced around, afraid that people would see her, he understood her mood at the moment, and hurriedly explained: "Orchid, don't be like this, you are already a soldier, there is a saying in the army: A soldier sheds blood and sweat without tears." No matter what goes wrong with you when you arrive in the army, or how difficult it is, you must not cry your nose at every turn like Miss Qianjin, which will make the chief and comrades-in-arms look down on you, remember? ”
"I know, I didn't cry, I was reluctant to leave the house."
"Yes, I understand very well, it's like I just left home, and I was still homesick until some time ago in the army, my parents, and you. I often think back to some interesting things we did together when we were young, and this experience you will feel when you get to the army. But now ......"
"Don't you think about it now, do you?" Fu Orchid deliberately picked up the stubble.
"Hey, you girl, you're so good at finding fault." Ying Xiang corrected: "What I mean is that now through training in the army, studying, training, and working together with comrades-in-arms all day long, everyone is familiar with each other and is used to collective life, how can I say that?" It seems that after a long time, the homesickness is slowly diluted. ”
"Huh, what am I talking about? Still don't want to, right? ”
"You." Ying Xiang and Fu Lanhua both laughed. The scene of their conversation and laughter was clearly seen by the parents of both sides waiting outside the door. Although the old people didn't know what they were talking about, from the analysis of their expressions, the two did talk happily, which made the old people very happy. The two of them were still talking to Bibi as they painted......
"Dudu ........." a gathering whistle calmed down the noise of the crowd, and at the same time aroused a wave of hugs, all the recruits and farewell family members said goodbye to each other, hugged each other, and people's already not very calm mood was stirred up by this whistle for a while......
