The next day, Li Boru arranged for them to meet in his hospital room. The girl's name is Su Yan, a native of Beijing. Although it does not have the delicate skin of the southerners of Xiaoyu, it has the ability of the northerners. Slim and slim without makeup, he listened to Li Boru tell the story of Hu Yu with a little shyness. Su Yan has admired heroes since he was a child, and when he first entered the door, he was a little disappointed to see Hu Yu's wrinkled and black eyelids.

After listening to Li Boru's introduction to Hu Yu, on the Long March road, the enemy had planes in the sky and tanks and artillery on the ground, leading his troops to fight tenaciously with the enemy; In the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the devils were eliminated in the harsh environment, and in the War of Liberation, he won more with less, and grew from a small soldier to a general commanding thousands of troops. Li Furu chattered endlessly, and Hu Yu gradually grew taller in his heart without makeup. She felt that Hu Yu was the hero she was looking for, the wrinkles on her face were a record of her military exploits for New China, and her dark face was left by the process of growing up in a difficult environment.

Su Yan fell in love with Hu Yu, and took the initiative to take care of Hu Yu after work every day. Since Hu Yu joined the army at the age of fourteen, no woman has ever cared about him, and he feels that his makeup is both like his mother and his eldest sister, and he has a feeling of suddenly having a home. He has never relied on anyone, and now he feels that he can't leave without makeup, and when he goes home at night without makeup, he is always reluctant to take away his soul. What is he doing now, he is only willing to talk to Su Yan alone, and he only listens to Su Yan alone. If the doctor wants to examine him and give him a new treatment, he must first tell him to Su Yan, and Su Yan will tell him before he is worthy.

Hu Yu recovered and was discharged from the hospital and reported to the General Staff Department. The leaders in charge of the General Staff Department saw that the time was ripe and presided over a simple and lively wedding ceremony in the small hall of the General Staff Headquarters. After marriage, he also lived in the general staff recruitment office, and lived in the neighborhood with Li Boru. The two old comrades-in-arms are naturally very affectionate, and they are also like sisters without makeup and Li Boru's wife Lilac.

On this day, Hu Yu went home, and Su Yan hurriedly came over and closed the door. Closed in broad daylight, Hu Yu was a little strange. He crawled on his ear without makeup and whispered to him that he went to the hospital in the morning to confirm that he was pregnant. Hu Yu shouted happily, picked up his face and turned in a circle. Su Yan blushed, covered his mouth with his hand, pointed out the door and said, "Are you crazy? Don't let the outside hear it. ”

Instead, Hu Yu shouted loudly at the door: "What are you afraid of? I'm going to have a son, and I want the whole world to know about it! ”

Li Boru happened to pass by the door of his house, thinking that the two were quarreling, so he pushed the door and walked in. Seeing the two of them playing, Hu Yu turned around on the ground with no makeup. smiled and turned his head to leave, Hu Yu put down his plain makeup and grabbed him and said, "Lao Li! Lao Li! What a happy event, our old Hu is going to have a son!"

Li Furu already has two children, and his wife is about to give birth with a big belly. It was long past the time when I was curious and excited about the child, so I stretched out my thumb and shook my head and left. Hu Yu grabbed Li Furu and didn't let him go, and asked him to drink to celebrate. Li Boru has two children and a wife with a big belly who is about to give birth. While the two were pulling, the cadre department sent an appointment, and at the same time they were appointed army commanders and political commissars to command an army in the country. They smiled heartily, and their four big hands clasped tightly together.

In the troops, military cadres and political cadres are not in the same place, and some people have different opinions and even fight. The two of them have cooperated since the Long March, and although there are times when they disagree, they can always reconcile in the end. Hu Yu understood that this was all due to Li Furu's culture, both adhering to principles and level. After working together for so many years, he felt that he couldn't live without Li Boru. Although the two quarreled and annoyed him, he was still willing to talk to him if he had anything on his mind.

Bidding farewell to the leadership of the General Staff, the train ran all night to the new unit location. The train was picked up by the troops and came to the barracks smoothly. The camp is lined with spacious concrete roads, lined with neat poplar trees fluttering in the wind, a small square in the middle, a fountain, and a newly built red brick office building behind it. Hu Yu got out of the car and stabbed Li Furu: "What a style!" ”

Cadres at and above the regimental level of the army welcomed them in front of the office, and Hu Yu and Li Boru shook hands with everyone and said a few words, which was a welcome ceremony. Because the family has not yet arranged, without makeup, Lilac is pregnant, especially Lilac is about to give birth. Then accompanied by the main cadres, they went around to the back of the office building, two rows of single-family buildings on the west floor specially built for cadres. I entered the house without makeup, and when I looked at such a large and bright room, my eyes widened in surprise, and I felt like a dream. Despite the exhaustion of the journey, I ran upstairs and downstairs twice. Grabbed Hu Yu's hand: "This is our home?" ”

Hu Yu was also surprised that after being a soldier for so many years, most of the time he spent in the countryside or in the mountains, and occasionally attacked the city, but he quickly withdrew. Only in the war of liberation is it true to conquer the city, but the troops have to engage in other battles. Until the whole country was liberated, everything should be stable, and he entered the war in Korea. Although he commanded tens of thousands of people, he basically never lived in a big city, and he didn't dare to expect to live in such a two-story building. He stepped on the maroon

The wooden floor looked at each room, and said to Su Yan with satisfaction: "I finally have a home!" I finally have a home! ”

Su Yan is a virtuous and capable woman. In the afternoon, Hu Yu went to work, and she cleaned up the house inside and out with a big belly. When Hu Yu returned home from work at night, the house had completely changed, the furniture was in good order, and the house was spotless. What surprised him even more was that he had just taken off his coat and washed his face, and the hot meal was served on the table. After more than 20 years in the army, I felt the warmth of home for the first time. When he was a child before the army, his mother's meticulous care for him, and his lack of makeup moved him as if he had returned to his mother.

The difference is that he is always a child by his mother's side, and he is a husband by his mother's side. Su Yan not only took care of him like his mother, but also his wife gave birth to him. This was the happiest time when he had lived for almost fifty, and he felt from the bottom of his heart that he had never loved a woman so much. In North Korea, he once loved Xiaoyu, and he was crazy enough to think that she was his wife in this life. Now that I think about it, I am just moved by her beauty, and I don't necessarily love myself like Piyan. He could see that she adored him.

After eating, Su Yan put away the dishes and chopsticks with a big belly. Hu Yu wanted to help, so he pushed him to sit down on the sofa without makeup, handed him a cup of brewed tea, and said, "The more you help with your rough hands!" ”

Hu Yu sat on the sofa, watching Su Yan busy doing housework, as if admiring a beautiful labor painting. Lao Hu must have done a good deed in his last life, and God married such a beautiful and kind woman as his wife. In the past, it was only others who showed off with their wives and children, but now he also has this money. On Sunday, he would also wear no makeup, and walk around the barracks, so that they could see his beautiful wife, and that she was about to give birth to a son, and it would be strange if she didn't envy them to death!

Lilac and Su Yan have become the best sisters, and Lilac is naturally a no-makeup confinement child. In the past, Hu Yu was jealous of his confinement. Now I am not so excited on the surface, I live with my fingers in my heart, looking forward to the days passing quickly, and I hope that I can hear the noise of the child when I get home from work every day, even if it is crying!

The days are really fast, seeing that the production will be made in another month without makeup, and the troops have also reached the winter training season. According to the training syllabus issued by the General Staff Headquarters, there is a training course, which happens to be on the due date without makeup. But he heard Lilac say that when a woman gives birth to a child, she is the most vulnerable time, and she needs her husband by her side the most. However, he is a military commander, and the commander of the troops must also be there, and it is absolutely impossible for him to leave his post. What he is particularly struggling with now is that he can't be at home when he gives birth without makeup. When a man is the wife who needs him the most, he can't be by her side to take care of her, and he can't watch his first child be born, and he feels that this is his lifelong regret.

Su Yan has seen from the actions of the troops that the troops have made big moves. At that time, any action of the army was a military secret, and his wife, as a soldier, silently prepared his outfit for him. Hu Yu didn't say, and he didn't ask without makeup. She believes in her husband, and naturally she can't say it if she doesn't say it.

Leaving his wife who was about to give birth, Hu Yujue felt ashamed of his face and didn't know how to say it to her. Worried that she would complain about him, he cried and made trouble if he didn't give up. Lilac said that a woman who is about to give birth is very emotionally unstable, and maybe it seems that a little trivial thing can hit a volcano-like fire. After all, Su Yan is pregnant and giving birth to a child for the first time, unlike Lilac, who has given birth to two experienced children, and must hope that he can be by his side. After dinner after work in the evening, Hu Yu diligently helped Su Yan to sit on the sofa, and asked him to wash the dishes and clean up. He never used him to cook and clean up the house, and he also watched Su Yan's belly get bigger and bigger and it was difficult to do housework, and he wanted to help share some of it, but Su Yan always pushed him to the living room. Today, I was too diligent and blinded by my makeup. Su Yan didn't worry about Hu Yu's rough work, and followed him to clean up again.

While cleaning up, Yi also asked Hu Yu: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Hu Yu was about to set off, and he couldn't drag it back any longer, so he had to say truthfully: "The troops are going to train." ”

Su Yan giggled: "What should I do?" You think I didn't see it, but the clothes were ready for you. ”

Hu Yu was moved in his heart, it was good to have a wife, and he hadn't told her any tasks yet, everything was ready. The more relaxed he looked, the more nervous Hu Yu became. Soldiers have a kind of professional sensitivity, just like before the start of a big battle, there will be a short silence, which makes people's backs cold. The guns rang out, but I could breathe a sigh of relief. Now if she cries and makes a fuss without makeup, he won't feel worried, at least it means that she knows that she is in labor and is ready to be a mother. She was so calm about his imminent departure, which made Hu Yu feel uneasy. felt that she didn't take her imminent birth seriously, but in fact she was not ready to be a mother, which was what worried him the most.

Hu Yu explained: "As soon as I leave for at least a month, you will have a baby. I am a soldier, and it is my duty to carry out orders! ”

Su Yan was amused by his serious face: "From the day I married a soldier, I was ready to take on the family alone. Since I fell in love with you, I also fell in love with the military and this big family! ”

Although he was moved by the sincerity of Su Yan's words, he was still a little relieved: "Be careful at home alone, and go to Lilac for help if you have something." ”
