Lei Ce, who returned to the army, received a notice from the regiment headquarters, explained to his wife and drove to the regiment headquarters.

"You're here!" Gu Qingyan smiled and took out a piece of paper from the drawer of his desk, "Come here, I'll show you something good." ”

"Yes." Lei Ce walked to the desk quietly, "What good things make Gu Tuan so happy?" ”

Gu Qingyan handed over the paper in his hand, "Look at it yourself." ”

Lei Ce took a look at it, his eyebrows frowned, "The quota for further study in the military academy." ”

"Well, this is specially arranged for you by Master Liu, and now the country has opened up the education system; You are one of the first students to take part in further study, do you look like you don't want to go? Gu Qingyan was slightly happy, "This is a rare opportunity, the army needs managerial and technical talents, you are the first batch of students to participate in advanced studies, and you will definitely be reused in the future." ”

"I'll go back and talk to my daughter-in-law about it." Reitzer calmly returned the paper in his hand to him.

"Hey, I mean, Reitzer, what the hell are you thinking about kid? Shouldn't you happily accept such a great opportunity? At this time, what is it to be hypocritical to Lao Tzu. Gu Qingyan pointed at him angrily and scolded, "You are really a bad thing." ”

Lei Ce raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "Gu Tuan, no matter how you scold you about this, I have to go back and discuss it with my daughter-in-law; There are two children at home who need to be taken care of, and it was three years before I entered the military school, and I left the children to my daughter-in-law to take care of them alone for these three years? ”

The scolding stopped abruptly, and Gu Qingyan frowned in embarrassment, "But as long as you persist for three years, you will have more time to spend with them in the future; Brother and sister are not the ones who can't be twisted, and they will definitely support you. ”

"I know." But you can't ignore her feelings just because she is sensible, "Gu Tuan, I'll give you an answer when I come to the army in the afternoon." ”

"Go, go, go." Gu Qingyan waved his hand in disgust, what was supposed to be a happy thing in time, but he lost all his interest.

Lei Ce walked out of the regiment headquarters office, drove the car to return it, and went home directly.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? When I come back, I can't give up. Chu Tianyi was confused after feeding the two children, raised his head, and his starry eyes were mixed with the color of inquiry, "Is there something wrong with the troops?" ”

Lei Ze walked up to their mother and son and took her in his arms, "Daughter-in-law, let me tell you something. ”

"Say it!"

"Just now, Commander Gu gave me a place to go to the military academy for further study, and I want to go; But this is three years, and I don't worry about your mother and son. Lei Zer rested his head on her shoulder, feeling the soft and delicate body of the person in his arms, and his heart was full of apologies.

He must want to go too!

"You don't have to worry about us, I'll take care of the kids; You also have holidays in the military school! You can come out and see us when you're on vacation. Chu Tianyi reached out and touched his head, "Don't worry!" It's only been three years, and it's gone by quickly. It's not easy to have a place for further study, and I support you to go further. ”

The arms were clenched, and he hugged her harder, "Daughter-in-law, I'm sorry." ”

"Needless to say, I'm sorry, the baby is still young and can't do without his mother, and he was going to college to take the children with him; In the future, we will be in province A, it will be more convenient to meet, we can also buy a house in province A, and you can go home to live during the holidays. Chu Tianyi said that he had a plan in his heart, the housing prices in Province A will be higher and higher, and at this time, owning a house is better than anything else.

"Hmm."

Chu Tianyi sighed, he was still guilty, "Brother, you have to think that after further study, you will have more capital to climb up." I believe that you can bring a better life to me and my children. ”

Reitzer hugged her for a long time, silent.

At the end of the morning, Lei Ce came to the office of the regiment headquarters, "Regiment commander, I have a place to go to the military academy for further study." ”

"Hahaha, good, good! Lao Tzu knows that your daughter-in-law will definitely let you go, take it! Gu Qingyan took out two things and handed them to him, "This is a certificate of further study issued by the army, and this is an admission letter from the Military Academy." After entering the military academy, I worked hard, and Master Liu said that I would definitely reuse it when I came out of further study. ”

"Thank you, Captain." Lei Ce accepted the admission letter and the certificate of further study.

"What does Xie Laozi do? You deserve it; The enrollment time is half a month later, and you will hand over your work to Tang Lixing as soon as possible. Gu Qingyan smiled very happily, as if he had accepted further study, "Tang Lixing will take care of the position of deputy regiment, maybe after you get further study, Lao Tzu can still work with you." ”

The three of them have worked together for many years, during which the positions of political commissar and deputy regiment have changed many people, and only the three of them can have a tacit understanding.

"Yes." Lei Ze nodded silently.

......

A few days in the morning, Lei Ce sent his wife and son to Peking University, and watched her back disappear into Peking University before turning around and getting in the car and leaving.

In three days, Lei Ce handed over all the work of the troops, "Old Tang, do a good job, and we'll see you again in three years." ”

"You can do a good job, and I'm looking forward to being your partner again." Tang Lixing smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "After you leave, the courtyard in the army will definitely be taken back, and then those things in your house will be placed in my house first!" ”

"No, use the past few days to go to Province A to look for a house; My daughter-in-law wants to buy a house in Province A, and we can see each other often to see the children. Lei Zer shook his head and refused, and it was not certain that he would not come back in the future; After buying a house, you also need to buy furniture or something, it is better to use the current furniture and electrical appliances.

Tang Lixing was slightly surprised, "Buying a house?" Do you have enough money? "A few years ago, he sent half of the money back every year, and I am afraid that there is not much savings in his hands.

"That's enough." Lei Zer said goodbye to him with a light smile, "I'll go to Province A first, and it's better to find a house early than to move early." ”

"Okay, let's go first! I'll see you off when you're gone. Tang Lixing smiled and shook his shoulder.

"Hmm." Reitzer turned to leave.

When he arrived in Province A, Lei Ce searched around for houses, but found a few good locations; I secretly wrote down the locations of those places and went back to the hotel.

estimated the date of his wife's vacation and waited for her outside the gate of Peking University.

"Brother." Chu Tianyi walked briskly with a stroller, "How long have you been waiting here?" ”

"Soon, just came." Lei Zer stared at her face, she hadn't seen her for a few days, and her longing was overflowing.

Deceitful! His face was blown red by the cold wind.

Chu Tianyi put his hand into his gentle palm, "Let's go!" Let's go around. You're going to military school in ten days, how do you have time to come to me? ”

"Take a look at the houses in the city, take you to see the houses I've seen for sale these days." Lei Zer held her hand with one hand and pushed the stroller with the other, "Put on more clothes when you go out, your hands are cold." ”

"Well, I didn't feel cold." This person took what she said to heart, and it was better to settle the matter of buying a house as soon as possible.

The two had breakfast first, and Lei Ze showed her one by one.

A total of five places were walked, and only two places had a good environment, one was the structure of a courtyard house, and the other was a bungalow.

The two stood in front of the quadrangle, and Chu Tianyi focused on the newness of the quadrangle.

The red paint on the two doors has peeled off quite a bit, and it looks spotted; There are a pair of rusty brass cymbals on the door, and the exterior of the courtyard wall has been damaged much by the Red Guards; Even the tiles on it are a little uneven, but these are not a big problem, as long as they are decorated.

"Brother, how much does this small courtyard cost? Have you asked? "The courtyard is very early in the later generations, and it can be millions or even hundreds of millions, or even hundreds of millions.

"No! Let's ask. Lei Zer pushed the stroller and followed her to the door of the courtyard, walked up the steps, and knocked on the door, "Knock knock." ”

"Who!" As soon as the words of the Beijing dialect fell, the door opened; The visitor looked up at them, "You're here to see the house, aren't you?" ”

"Yes, we want to see the layout and environment inside." Lei Ze nodded, "I don't know if it's inconvenient?" ”

Chu Tianyi looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him, his face was a little gray, and his back was also stiff.

The man looked at them for a moment and stepped out of the way, "It's convenient!" Come in. ”

"Hmm." Lei Ze turned and walked down the steps, picked up the stroller and walked with her into the courtyard.

At a glance, the distribution of the courtyard is very clear, the north room is three rooms, two bright and one dark, the east and west compartments are two each, and the south room is three; Lying brick to the top, ridged tile house.

"Sir, how much does your house occupy?" Chu Tianyi looked up and down, and occasionally walked into the wing room to take a look; The wing room was cleaned, and after ten years of looting, there was no furnishings left.

"The courtyard of 650 square meters, the basic layout is clear at a glance, you have seen it." The owner sighed in a low voice, "This house has been passed down from generation to generation by our older generation, and it took a lot of effort to keep the house when we first made trouble, but we have to be harassed every day; Now that calm has finally returned, we have to move out. ”

Chu Tianyi frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously: "I finally survived this time, and I lived well, why did I leave?" ”

"You girl, don't tempt me; No one has died here, and nothing bad has happened. My son is okay abroad, but now that the policy has changed, my son is going to pick me up and go abroad. I sent a telegram back half a month ago! It's coming in a few days, and I'm in a hurry to get this place done, and I'm not coming back in the future. The shrewd eyes of the owner looked at her with a bit of contempt.

Chu Tianyi smiled indifferently, "I didn't think about it either." ”

"Huh." The old gentleman of the homeowner smiled meaningfully, "You baby is not simple. ”

"Each other, each other." Chu Tianyi smiled back, "How much is this house going to sell for old man?" If the price is right, we can do it today. ”

The old gentleman, the owner of the house, looked at the house with nostalgia, "I see that you really want to buy a house, and I don't want much; My house is more than 650 square meters, 12,000 is enough; I hope you can cherish this house and don't let them be dusted. ”

"Your own house is naturally to be cherished, and the old gentleman doesn't have to worry about this problem." Chu Tianyi nodded, "We accept this price, I don't know when the old gentleman will be able to go through the formalities?" ”

"Anytime, it's just that I'll have to stay here for a few days after the formalities are done until my son comes to pick me up."

The old man is a real person, "It's natural. However, after the house is completed, we need to repair the broken parts of the house; The courtyard wall outside also has to be repaired, and I hope the old gentleman can cooperate with it when the time comes. ”

"Yes, you can." The old man smiled and responded.

"Then it's decided, and we'll come to you tomorrow with cash." Chu Tianyi glanced back at Lei Ce, and when he saw him nodding, he said goodbye, "Old man, it's getting late, we have to go first, see you tomorrow." ”

The old man bowed his head and closed the door after seeing them off; Looking back at the house, his eyes were distant, sad, and full of nostalgia......
