Chapter 51: Photographs on the Cabinet
The days on which soldiers and their relatives are together are measured in hours, and at most in days; And the days when they are separated are measured by years, at least by years. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Guo Fan, his wife and daughter met again during the Spring Festival the following year, and this was also the first time Guo Hong came to the army.
Last year's vacation was Guo Fan's longest vacation, thanks to the organization's care and did not recall him temporarily, so that he did not leave too many regrets in his life, at least he was able to accompany his wife when she gave birth, at least he was able to give his daughter a full moon before returning to the team. And many of his colleagues may not be as lucky as him. Soldiers often dedicate their youth and their children and grandchildren, but they are still so oblivious. The world needs such people, and the motherland needs these "night watchmen" when thousands of families are reunited.
This is the first time she has gone far away with a child. Guo Fan was very worried, so he asked his comrade-in-arms Guangli's wife to come to the team together, and they took care of each other on the way.
Early in the morning, when the sky was not even bright, Guo Hong woke up her daughter, who was still asleep, and forced her out of the warm quilt and put on thick cotton clothes and pants. She wants to take a ride, she wants to take a ride from the countryside to Zhengzhou. Guo Hong asked her father-in-law to take them to the town on a tractor to meet Guangli's family, and then take the earliest bus to Zhengzhou to catch the noon train at Zhengzhou Railway Station. The journey of more than 3 hours can not be delayed at all, and you have to wait at the crowded Zhengzhou Station, the time can only be advanced, and the train does not wait for anyone.
"Guo Hong, what's wrong with you?" Guangli's family member Xiaomei asked with concern. She also carried her baby in her arms, who was waiting to be fed.
"It's okay, old problem, motion sickness." Guo Hong turned his head to look at Xiaomei, waved his hand, and said.
She had severe motion sickness and, like her father, had a severe vomiting reaction at the sight of gasoline. In order for herself to see her husband, in order for her daughter to meet her father, she overcomes, overcomes......
The two children, who were not yet a year old, probably felt like they were about to see their father, but they had a good time, at least they didn't cry and make a lot of fun, which made the two adults much more relaxed.
Bang dang, bang dang......
After nearly 40 hours of bumpy driving, they finally arrived at Litang Railway Station. Guo Fan and Guangli had already arrived here by shuttle bus from the station, and waited in the station, waiting for the arrival of their beloved.
"Here, here." As soon as the two of them saw their loved ones coming down from the door of the carriage, they kept waving.
"Long time gone, my dear." There was a sour feeling in both of them.
When I left last year, my daughter was still in swaddling clothes, and now she can hold it straight, her eyes are still very bright, but the hair on the top of her head is still relatively thin.
"Come on, daddy, hug." Guo Fan said as he reached out to hug his daughter. The daughter turned around and rested her head on her mother, Guo Hong's shoulder.
"Keke, this is Dad. Don't you miss your dad every day? Guo Hong pointed to Guo Fan and introduced her father to her daughter.
"Come on, daughter, I'm daddy, daddy hug." Guo Fan reached out to hug it again. This time, the daughter didn't seem to have so much resistance. Guo Fan took advantage of the situation and hugged her from Guo Hong's arms.
"It seems that the roots are connected. No one is allowed to hold it at home. Guo Hong's seemingly explained words actually opened her heart knot, she was afraid that her daughter would not recognize her father after she arrived in the army, which would make her husband feel uncomfortable.
"Guangli, let's do it, you guys take the shuttle bus back to the army first, let's take the train back, she gets too sick of cars." Guo Fan wanted to let his comrades-in-arms and his family go back first, he and Guangli were not the same unit, and they would be separated anyway when they arrived at the station, so let's separate first, and then reunite when they have the opportunity. Guo Fan didn't want his wife to suffer in a car again.
"It seems that it is still useful to look at the photos more often. The mother often holds her daughter and points to your photo on the cabinet, saying, this is Dad, this is Dad, for fear that her daughter will not know who her father is. There are pictures of you everywhere in the house, and I'll tell her about you whenever I have time. You see, this one will let you hug. At home, she is not allowed to be hugged by outsiders. Don't say that children don't understand, I think she understands everything. You have to thank me for that. In the waiting room, Guo Hong happily talked about her parenting experience, Yanran forgot the fatigue and hardship of the journey, she had too much to say to her husband.
"I'm going to pour you some water and warm your stomach first. What do you want to eat at night? I'll go back and do it for you. Guo Fan asked as he took out a cup from the bag.
"I've brought some grits and let's boil the corn paste. I don't want to eat anything. Guo Hong said. Guo Fan took a closer look at his wife's face, and there was still obvious tiredness, and her complexion was a little pale. Such a long distance, even a man is a little unbearable. Fortunately, another hour by train, and then 20 minutes by taxi to the unit.
Now, the place where Guo Fan lives is not a real cadre apartment. He had also just been transferred from the grassroots level to the divisional organs, and he lived in the house of the army's old distillery. But no matter what, they have a nest, they have their own nest of love.
When they arrived at the place where they lived, Guo Fan hurriedly opened their suitcases and took out thin clothes for them to change into. The south is not as good as the north, they wear single clothes in winter, and now they are still wearing thick cotton clothes. Guo Fan suddenly felt that the responsibility on his body was heavier, he not only had to complete the work tasks assigned to him by the organization with high standards, but he also had to take on the family responsibilities that had been attached to him.
The wife keeps talking about the affairs of the family, which is naturally indispensable for the shortcomings of the parents between the father-in-law and the mother-in-law, and the feelings between you and me. Guo Fan just listened, who can she talk to if she doesn't tell you these words? But sometimes it is inevitable that there will be a few rebuttals.
"No longer insist on your uniqueness, put yourself in the other person's shoes to see things, listen with the other person's ears, obviously two individuals but combined into one, you have me in your heart, I have you in my heart...... This is true love. Guo Fan gradually realized the true meaning of this sentence.
Guo Fan has to go to work during the day and has no time to cook for their mother. In order to let her husband come back from work and eat delicious meals, Guo Hong put the chair flat and put her daughter into the four pillars of the chair, so that her daughter could be firmly surrounded and her daughter would not fall. When Guo Fan came back from work, he saw his daughter so uncomfortable, and just wanted to take her out, he heard his wife shouting outside:
"Husband, why can't this pressure cooker be opened?"
"Don't move, I'll come." Hearing his wife shouting like this, Guo Fan ran out. Looking at the pressure cooker that was still bubbling, Guo Fan was scared into a cold sweat, he was really about to open it, and the consequences were unimaginable. This kind of cooking utensils are rarely used in my hometown, and Guo Hong also went out of the school gate and entered the school gate, she had never used this kind of thing, and she wanted to open it when she was angry. Guo Fan looked at his wife, who was still frightened, and stepped forward to hug her: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll come." ”
With such a wife who loves him wholeheartedly, Guo Fan's heart is about to melt, what else can he say!
Guo Hong's vacation is short, only more than 20 days, when she left, her daughter cried a lot, although she is young, maybe not sensible, but she definitely knows that this is leaving her father again, see you next time, I don't know when. The wife's eyes are also red, but what can she do, it is difficult to say goodbye when they get together.
"Sometimes parting is about getting together better." This is a that people have to say when they have to.
After sending his wife and daughter back to the dormitory, Guo Fan found that his wife had left him a letter:
I used to think you were a kite, I held that string in my hand, and no matter where you fly, I will ultimately be your belonging. Now I finally understand that in fact, if I love you, I shouldn't bind you. Husband, I didn't come in vain this trip, I see that you are working very well in the army, do a good job, I am at home, don't worry! ……
Love your red
