Chapter 35 Love in the Republic of China

“…… The end of the sky, the corner of the sea, the acquaintance is half scattered, a pot of turbid wine is full of joy, don't dream of the cold tonight......"

After painting the fourth one-piece individual soldier drape design drawing, An Yi enjoyed it very much, and couldn't help but whisper this warm and sad song, he colored the renderings on the easel with watercolor pens, and sang it over and over again. At this time, his mood is very similar to the artistic conception in the song, drifting in the emptiness of the distant mountains, the sunset and the long pavilion, and there is a faint melancholy in the tranquility that he is not even aware of.

These groups of different uses, the texture of the canvas one-piece kit design drawing, thanks to the good design of the German army's individual equipment style, is very suitable for today's industrial mass production, An Yi will infantry armed belt, magazine, dry food bag, kettle bag, grenade bag, storage bag orderly and scientific combination together, fully considering the practical surname and convenient and quick wear and other factors, the style is beautiful, close to the compact, not only convenient for marching operations but also greatly reduced the production cost, if it can be successfully put into production to equip the army, It will enable tens of thousands of front-line officers and soldiers to bid farewell to the five-flowered draped equipment of carrying food bags on one shoulder and ammunition belts on the other.

An Yi, who was fully engaged, didn't see it, Chu Er's graceful body slowly leaned against the door frame of the study, and her beautiful and sad eyes quietly looked at An Yi in the background of the sunset, her face was full of emotion.

She was attracted by An Yi's thick and melodious whispering, she never imagined that An Yi's singing voice would be so deep and moving, she had never seen An Yi so focused and so quiet, her eyes revealed such a touching touch of melancholy, she had never seen him as handsome and free as today, which was fascinating.

Chu'er didn't know when An Yi walked into her heart, but she knew that when she left An Yi for Hong Kong in the winter not long ago, she felt the inexplicable emptiness and loss in her heart, and even after walking a long way in the car, Chu'er still covered her faintly aching hand, as if she could feel An Yi's body temperature and unique breath remaining on her hand. When she arrived in Hong Kong, Chu'er wrote a letter to An Yi in a fief, she didn't know why she wanted to write a letter to An Yi, but she couldn't suppress the more and more sorrow and longing in her heart, she wrote a fief, the content was just a simple greeting, telling An Yi that she was happy, but she didn't receive a reply from An Yi. The more he didn't reply to Chu'er, the more he missed, more than once he saw An Yi's evil smile in his dreams, and saw him talking nonsense with a solemn and annoying look.

It wasn't until noon two days ago that when An Yi in military uniform appeared in front of Chu Er, the tears that welled up from the bottom of her heart finally made her understand what the feelings surging in her heart were, although she had never received a warm and considerate word from An Yi, she had never seen An Yi have some subtle feelings for herself, and she had not even said more than a hundred words with An Yi, but Chu Er clearly knew that An Yi had broken into her heart at some point, and she couldn't get rid of him even if she wanted to get rid of him in this life.

In the past three days, An Yi has either been drawing pictures or having a lengthy and in-depth discussion with Ou Yaoting, and An Yi's occasional words or opinions not only make Ou Yaoting refreshed and praised incisively, but also made Chu'er, who is always standing not far away and listening attentively, deeply surprised, she never imagined that An Yi's industrial and commercial knowledge is so rich, nor can she imagine that An Yi's political sense is so sensitive, let alone that such a young An Yi can refute his erudite father again and again, and the way of persuasion is so tactful and ingenious.

At this moment, she looked at An Yi quietly, feeling that he was so close to herself, and so far away, his neat military uniform seemed to be full of strong vitality and self-confidence, but it was so soft and natural when you looked closely.

The low groan stopped abruptly, as if Chu Er, who had woken up from a dream, had a rather panicked look in An Yi's eyes, and he smiled slightly, reproducing his arrogant style: "Come in and see, why are you still sneaking around in your own house?" ”

Chu Erxing's eyes widened, and she scolded in a coquettish voice: "Who is sneaky?" Why are you always so weird and yin like this, you dead head? Hate to death...... What to draw? What is this, weird? The high-quality drawings that my dad got back made you so bad? It's so hateful......"

"Haha! Haven't seen it, have you? It's all money! Haha......" An Yi looked like a money obsession.

Chu Er suddenly remembered that An Yi had sung a tune in a low voice for more than half an hour: "Tell me, how did you know how to sing this song of Master Hongyi?" ”

"What am I singing? Who is Master Hongyi? An Yi asked in surprise.

Chu'er stomped her feet in annoyance: "You...... I'm so angry, I only heard this song sung by a female writer who came to Hong Kong from Shanghai to travel at the Lantern Festival party this year, when she sang the applause and praise, everyone was moved by the deep friendship and far-reaching artistic conception in the song, and asked if it was her new work? She told everyone at the tea party with great emotion, saying that this is Master Hongyi's masterpiece before he became a monk, and it was not long before he was composed a tune, and she also went to Shaoxing in late autumn last year to occasionally hear and write down, you are now so proficient in singing, where did you learn it? ”

An Yi suddenly remembered the tune he hummed just now, but he really didn't know the origin of this tune, so he had to look at Chu'er with a wry smile: "If I also learned it when I heard others sing, do you believe it?" Actually, I don't remember where I heard it, maybe it wasn't that long ago, you know I'm not full of five tones, but I have a good memory, I'll listen to it twice, haha! Do you want me to sing it to you again? ”

"I won't tell you, dead skin."

Chu Er asked angrily, "Tell me, why did your parents ask you to stay for dinner in the past few days, and you made excuses to excuse yourself?" As soon as I came in the morning, I squatted in the study, and after two minutes of lunch, I went into the study, and I hurriedly ran back before the sun went down, and I didn't say a word to anyone, did I make you feel very annoying? You say......"

Seeing Chu'er's tears welling up, An Yi was shocked for a while: "No, no, no...... Miss, you don't know, this time the school is in the face of your father, and finally gave me three days off, I have to go home after finishing work, right? Maybe you don't know, I live in the kennel of a sick old man, two younger brothers and a miserable second aunt, I just arrived in Guangzhou City when I was sick to death, they dragged me back from the pile of dead, and then spent money to give me medicine to cure my illness I have today, I have only seen them three times in the past few months, each time less than three hours, so ah, I have to accompany my life-saving benefactor to see how they are doing, right? I don't dare to despise and offend the eldest lady at all, please don't be angry! ”

Chu'er was stunned: "Then why have you never told me these things?" ”

"You didn't ask me!" An Yi looked very wronged.

The anger on Chu'er's face disappeared, revealing a touching melancholy: "Brother An Yi, don't you like me?" ”

"Who said I didn't like ...... anymore"

An Yi suddenly realized that he was abrupt, and when he looked at Chu Er's sad face carefully, he felt sad in his heart: "What's wrong?" Wasn't it okay just now? ”

Chu Erzhu burst into tears and asked loudly, "But why didn't you reply to me?" I have written you sixteen letters, and you have not even given me a word......"

An Yi was taken aback: "Wait? What did you say? Sixteen letters? Oh my God, I really haven't seen a letter, and I wanted to write a letter to your father to greet him and report the situation of the business house to him at that time, but I couldn't get the address of your house, and once I plucked up the courage to ask the shopkeeper Chen to tell me, but in exchange for his scolding and sarcasm, so I gave up. ”

"Huh!? …… It can't be, you lie! Chu'er didn't believe it at all.

"I lied to you that you were a puppy, this ......"

An Yi's two hands were stacked together, making a Wang Ba walking in the air, who knew that Chu'er didn't believe it at all, rushed up and gave An Yi a pink punch, and then hid his face sadly, not seeing his father standing on the other side of the door.

All this fell in the eyes of Ou Yaoting, who hurried back, he waited outside the door for a while, sighed heavily and walked into the study, An Yi turned around when he heard the footsteps, and said with a reluctant smile: "Sir, my work is done, please take a look." My vacation is also coming, thank you husband for taking care of me for so long, An Yi will always remember in my heart...... Sir, if there is nothing I will take my leave. ”

"Wait."

Ou Yaoting motioned for An Yi to sit down, and pointed to a large stack of drawings on the table: "Xiao Yi, I haven't said a word of thanks to you for these drawings worth tens of thousands of dollars in the past few days, because I know how heavy this affection is, so I don't want to hear you say anything about thanks." Knowing that you are leaving, I specially went to the old friend store in the concession to find this small gift for you, this is the latest product of the Swiss Wilsdorf company, you can use it in the future to march and fight, give, accept it. ”

An Yi opened it and saw that it was a delicate silver watch, and quickly stood up and politely refused: "I'm sorry, sir, I can't accept such a valuable gift, I know where this watch is sold, and I know its value, this gift is too heavy." Another one, I am a cadet who has just entered the military academy, I don't want my teachers and friends to think that I am very special, to be honest, I am not short of money, and I also bought a property on Puji Street, and the money to buy the house was obtained after following my husband, and not a penny in it is ambiguous money. Sir, although you don't want to listen to me say thank you, but I still want to say that I am grateful to you, I have learned a lot of principles of life in you, especially in the past three days of getting along, you have given me a lot of valuable teachings, every time I finish talking to Mr., I can always feel my progress, very fulfilling and down-to-earth, thank you, sir! Thank you! ”

"Xiao Yi, listen to me......"

"If the gentleman sends him, even if he orders, An Yi will definitely serve the work of dogs and horses!"

An Yi put on a military hat and tied a wind and discipline button, solemnly saluted Ou Yaoting, turned around and strode away with firm steps.

Chu Er put down the white gauze curtain, sat in front of the piano and stretched out her hand, which slowly fell onto the keyboard, and after a messy note, the song sung by An Yi flew out of her hand, completely turning into another sad charm, and the tone was frustrated, like crying and floating out of the house, Chu Er's tears also slowly flowed down with the poignant notes.

An Yi, who was striding out of the courtyard, suddenly stopped, his ears moved, and he walked away firmly again......
