After several years of hard work, a small city has been allocated land for the Xinjiang oil field. Spacious asphalt road, Yang Village on both sides has become shady. The neat rows of workers' dormitories, the workers have moved out of the simple houses with dry bases and lived in spacious and bright row houses. Young demobilized soldiers are of marriage-ready age, and there are firecrackers almost every week. There were more women, there were more laughter, and the color of the clothes was broken. In the past, they wore blue overalls to work, and after work, they all wore the green uniforms they wore when they were demobilized. Now that there is a store, the supplies are beginning to be abundant, and the daughter-in-law has changed her husband, everything is quietly changing.

I don't know when women began to be fashionable to the zip-up black skirts and white shirts behind the knees, and every time they arrived in the store, they became the items that women frantically snapped up. Now there is a hospital in the oil field, Xiaoyu is the director of the department, and she has more connections than the newly married daughter-in-law. As soon as such a dress became popular, Sister Li, the director of the store, left her behind.

Xiaoyu was the first person in the hospital to wear a white shirt and a black knee-length skirt, which really made the young doctors and nurses envious for a while. In the past few days, when she went to the store, she quietly bought lipstick again, but it was a faint pink, and if she didn't pay attention, she couldn't see it.

The eldest sister found that Xiaoyu was changing, and it seemed that she had become young and beautiful overnight. It's back to the state of a little girl when she first went to North Korea, walking often and humming songs. I used to never carry a satchel, but now I carry a satchel. No matter how good a woman is, there are secrets that cannot be said. On this day, the eldest sister at work asked Xiaoyu to discuss an operation, and Xiaoyu happened to go to see a patient. He accidentally saw the cosmetics in Xiaoyu's satchel, and only then did he understand the reason why Xiaoyu suddenly became beautiful.

She looked through the lipstick, eyebrow pencil, foundation, blush, and small mirror in her bag, all of which were things that young women who love beauty can't put down. She picked up the small mirror and looked at her face, looking at the face of her youth, which had not been maintained during the war years, and looked like a sixty-year-old at the age of fifty. Put down the small mirror and feel unwilling, picked up Xiaoyu's eyebrow pencil and traced it a few times, felt satisfied, put lipstick on the lips, took the small mirror and went out to see people, took out his hand and wiped it vigorously.

The door opened, and Xiaoyu came in with a listening weapon in one hand. The eldest sister was embarrassed, blushed and said, "I was discussing the afternoon surgery, and I took a look at your cosmetics when I saw them." ”

As soon as Xiaoyu entered the door, she saw that her eyebrows were dark, and she wiped the lipstick on her lips with her hand: "Don't wipe it, eldest sister, it's very good-looking!" ”

The eldest sister was ashamed to find a crack in the ground and said self-deprecatingly: "At my age, I wiped my lipstick and went out, and those who were crying should laugh out loud." It's strange if you don't treat me as an old witch! ”

Xiaoyu came over and pulled her to sit on a chair, handed her the small mirror and said, "It is natural for a woman to dress up and make up, but a woman who doesn't understand how to dress up is a witch?" Don't you see I'm much younger and more beautiful now? Xiaoyu said and spun around on the ground.

The eldest sister sighed when she heard this: "Beauty is your young man's business, and I am already an old woman at my age." ”

Xiaoyu circled around the eldest sister, observing her face shape and determining how to put makeup on her. Then he put the small mirror in her hand, held it up in front of her face and said, "Look at your face, because you don't take care of it and don't wear makeup, you look like a yellow-faced woman." In fact, you are not yet fifty, and you are still in the middle-aged people. If you pay attention to maintenance now, you will find that in ten years, you will find that you are much younger than your actual age! ”

No woman will refuse to be prettier. The eldest sister said that she was old, but she was not convinced of the old, and she also wanted to see herself with makeup. Half pushed and half sat down and let Xiaoyu put on makeup, Xiaoyu put on foundation, blush, eyeliner, lipstick, she watched the changes on her face, and her heart pounded like a small drum. It's no wonder that the little daughters-in-law and girls often run to the store, and they are obviously young when they put on makeup. I'm worried that I'm almost fifty years old, and I'm going to wear makeup like their young people, which will make people laugh and lose their big teeth. The eldest sister is also a normal woman, and women are especially sensitive to other people's feelings. Although she likes herself with makeup, she is worried about the laughter of young people in the hospital.

Xiaoyu finished putting on her makeup, saw her joy from her heart, and held the mirror to admire her face. couldn't help but say, opened the door and pulled her out of the office. The eldest sister herself hadn't passed the heart barrier, she lowered her head like a thief, followed Xiaoyu to the end of the surgical corridor, didn't hear anyone talking about her, and slowly raised her head. The doctors and nurses didn't comment on her, and happily trotted all the way back to their office.

Rejoicing in his victory over the small victory in his heart, the porter sent a letter. She picked up the envelope and looked at it, it was the number of the troops. She has been transferred for several years, and she has no contact with the army, who will write to her, or maybe send it to the wrong place. She put the letter on the table and went on with her work, trying to return it to him when she had time. After a busy while, I sat down, took the letter and read it repeatedly, and it was indeed her name written. Since it is her name, it is naturally her letter, but who will write to her? She opened the letter, and there was a thin piece of letter paper inside, and only half a sheet of paper was written. She didn't read the content first, and she didn't expect that the word Hu Yu was written crookedly.

The eldest sister had palpitations for a while, and she was dizzy with excitement, but she held on to the table so that she didn't fall. Since she met Hu Yu on the Long March, Hu Yu killed the enemy bravely, commanded calmly and calmly, and threw her admired five bodies to the ground with the demeanor of a general! Although he is ugly, his face is black and his clothes are sloppy, and a man who feels like this should be like this. At that time, her lover had just disappeared on a mission, and she was convinced that he would return soon, but admired the hero at the age of the young girl's Huaichun. With the passage of time, when she came to North Korea with the army, she was getting older and older, and women had a sense of marital crisis as they grew older. If you continue to wait, you will miss the best childbearing age for a woman, and you will not be able to become a complete woman.

From the Long March to the Korean War, almost twenty years have passed, and the lover is still nowhere to be seen, and his confidence in whether he can come back has been shaken. If there was a hero like Hu Yu in her heart courting at this time, maybe she would choose to be *. She wanted to find an opportunity to get close to Hu Yu in the name of picking up the chief's body. Later, it was found that Hu Yu's mind was on Xiaoyu, so it was gone. Now I suddenly wrote to her, just saying that I miss my old comrades-in-arms and want to see where my old comrades-in-arms work and live. She felt that this was a show of love to her, otherwise who would have traveled thousands of kilometers to see her comrades.

recalled that she was in North Korea, which means that she fell in love with herself at that time, and she mistook Hu Yu's love for Xiaoyu. She hated herself for being stupid, if she understood Hu Yu at that time, she could have a simple wedding before returning to China; She is already a housewife now, and although she has children at an advanced age, she is now running all over the ground, and she doesn't have to waste her youth in vain. By this year, the wind and sand are constantly blowing in all seasons, and in winter, the snow is vast, and you can't see the land until the next spring!

She also complained a little about Hu Yu, if he showed her love earlier, don't let her understand it as flattery to Xiaoyu, and use you to find me so hard for several years, and come to this place with bad conditions, I don't know if he can stand it.

She couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, and planned to go back to the mainland with Hu Yu after marrying Hu Yu, and she couldn't leave Xiaoyu here alone. used Hu Yu's power to transfer Xiaoyu back to the mainland, and she also found a husband as a cadre in the army.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and she circled around the office several times with her hands clenched into fists. She wanted to find someone to share, and after so many years of suppressed feelings, she finally collided with Mars. He must share his happiness with others, but although there are many doctors and nurses in the hospital, it is only the relationship between leaders and subordinates. Only Xiaoyu is both a friend and a mother-daughter relationship. She ran down and went straight to Xiaoyu's office, slammed the door and went in to startle Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu hugged the eldest sister who was panting, and felt that no one would chase her in the hospital and asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

The eldest sister gasped and said, "Hu Yu, it's that Commander Hu who is coming." ”

Xiaoyu read the letter from beginning to end, expressing his nostalgia for his old comrades-in-arms and wanting to come over to see his old comrades-in-arms. Xiaoyu knew that they were old comrades-in-arms who participated in the Long March together, and it was very normal to miss their old comrades-in-arms in peacetime: "You have fought bloody battles together for so many years, and you care about each other after peace, is there nothing abnormal?" ”

The eldest sister's excitement has not subsided: "Take a look again, take a closer look?" ”

Xiaoyu looked at it again, and was a little puzzled: "Can't see anything?" ”

"Silly boy." The eldest sister's eyelids revealed the girl's shyness: "This is to propose to me!"

Xiaoyu is happy that her eldest sister has found a home, and she is also worried that her eldest sister returned to the mainland after she got married, leaving her alone in this icy and snowy place. There are no real friends, only colleagues in the general sense, and she is a high-ranking director. Most of the doctors and nurses in the hospital are students who graduated after liberation, and she is strict with them, so they all call her the second girl behind her back, and she also knows that the old girl is talking about the eldest sister.

Heavy rain sees her concern and tells her that she has thought about her a long time ago. She returned to the mainland and used Hu Yu's power to transfer her back to the mainland as soon as possible. Seeing that Xiaoyu's face had improved, the eldest sister asked her a little shyly, what clothes should she wear when Hu Yu came, and whether she should wear makeup. Xiaoyu giggled: "You are comrades-in-arms in the army, and you are generous and decent." Now he is a lover, and after the proposal, you are the wife, of course, you should wear makeup, and the clothes should be both beautiful and feminine, but also set off your own essence The most beautiful day. A man cares most about first impressions, and he will remember them for a lifetime! ”
