Chief Zhang, who was on "sick leave", had nothing to do for a day, drinking water in the snack bar of the "righteous sister" for a while, going to a nearby small park for a while, and then going to the "video hall" to watch the video. He has been a soldier for many years, and it is the first time that he has been so idle, although he has not returned the money given to him by the "demobilized soldier", but his mood is also much more relaxed at this time, and he does not want to drip the troubled water of "demobilized soldier" at all.

Finally, it was Sunday again, and Zhang Guchang came to the "post market" again in a hurry, this time he didn't want to see what good stamps there were, but wanted to see the girl who "soaked him" again.

"What, you're here again?" The middle-aged woman who exchanged the "turmoil ticket" last time saw Unit Chief Zhang at a glance.

"You know me?" Chief Zhang pointed to his nose with his index finger.

"Of course I do, aren't you the one who wants my riot ticket?"

"It's me, it seems that your vision is very accurate, and you can be regarded as unforgettable."

"I see you've been around several times, what are you wandering around, are you looking for you?"

"It's looking for someone." Chief Zhang has always been quick to talk back and forth, without thinking.

"Don't look for it, she won't come, the unit will work overtime."

"Overtime?"

"yes, she asked me to bring you something, here." As she spoke, the woman took out a small kraft paper bag from the bag next to her and handed it to Chief Zhang.

Chief Zhang felt more and more puzzled, but he still reached out to take it. When I opened it, it turned out to be the "riot ticket".

"Didn't she say anything?"

"Are you married?"

"My kids are in school."

"Then you go, don't look for her in the future, you put this thing away, I'm in place." The woman guarding the stall didn't look at Unit Chief Zhang again, packed up her things, and rode away.

Chief Zhang, who was lying on his own kang, looked at the "riot tickets" and the two "Huangpu tickets" on the other. Slowly fell asleep. In the dream, he dreamed again that the girl was playing tricks on him, and laughing at him.

"Brother, wake up, what time is it, don't you go to the store to eat, when will you come back?" Zhang Nu pushed up Chief Zhang, who was dreaming.

"Oh, what time is it?"

"The sun is about to go down, let's go, I've made a lot of money today. Little sister, I'll add two good dishes to you, two or two. ”

Usually, when Chief Zhang heard Zhang Nu say that he would get him something to eat, he would jump up from the kang excitedly, and hurriedly put on his shoes and go out, but today he was still looking at the "turmoil ticket" in a daze.

"What a good thing, let me see it too." Zhang Nu snatched the stamp from the hand of Chief Zhang, and due to excessive force, the stamp was fortunately protected by a bag. Otherwise, she will be torn off.

"This thing is precious, someone else gave it."

"I don't think it's anything special, who gave it to you?"

"A woman, I don't know what her name is."

"Got a crush on someone?"

Chief Zhang nodded involuntarily. But when he realized that something was wrong, he shook his head again, "What are you talking nonsense, is the eldest brother that kind of person." ”

"I look at you. Is there a thief's heart but not a thief's guts, ~~, right? I don't know. With such a big beauty as me wandering around you all day long, you will still fall in love with others, I want to see what kind of fairy this woman is, is it more beautiful than the seven fairies. ”

"I didn't take it seriously all day, let's go, I'm going to eat, I'm hungry."

"It's good to starve you to death, heartless."

At the beginning, Chief Zhang's place became the "Workers' Cultural Palace" and the "Post Market", even if it was not Sunday, he would ride a bicycle and slip around twice, unfortunately, not only did he not see the girl, but even the woman who guarded the stall never appeared again, and after a few days, Chief Zhang did not think about tea, did not want to eat, and the figure of the girl in his mind was full of it, as if she had become his "dream lover".

"What's up? Haven't found it yet? Seeing that Chief Zhang had come to the store to eat with his head down again, Zhang Nu knew that he had not found anyone yet.

"Well, I just want to ask her to give her some money, we can't ask for other people's things for nothing, this ticket is very precious, and money can't buy it."

"You didn't go to her unit to look for it?"

"I remember that she seems to be a printing house, but there are so many printing houses in Jingbei, and I don't know what Lu Dao's surname is, how can it be so easy to find."

"It's still your heart, if it's me, I'll look for it one by one, I won't believe it, a big living person can't fly."

Chief Zhang felt reasonable, so he got up early in the morning, according to the "yellow pages" of the telephone book, and looked for the girl's figure, fortunately, most of the telephones in Jingbei'an were enterprises, and the "yellow pages" were all there, as well as the detailed address, which made Chief Zhang not work too hard, coupled with his military identity, to which unit, would usher in "polite cooperation", and finally found the girl in a state-owned printing house not far from the Red Army Division Hospital.

"Uncle, I'm looking for her." Chief Zhang pointed to the photo on the "honor roll" at the gate.

"You say it's her? Know, know, there is no one in the factory who doesn't know her, it's just a 'little pepper', like a tomboy, no one dares to mess with her, comrade of the People's Liberation Army, did she do something? "The uncle in the doorman's mailroom listened enthusiastically.

"Oh, that's not true, I just want to thank her in person, is she in the factory?"

"Then I don't know what to do, so let's use the radio speaker to shout to you, and if she's there, just ask her to come to the door to see you."

"Uncle Xie Lu, Uncle Xie."

"Comrades of the staff pay attention, comrades of the staff pay attention, play a notice to find someone, Ding Ning of the first workshop, Ding Ning of the first workshop, please go to the doorman when you hear the notice, someone is looking for it." The old man in the mailroom was quite dedicated, and it was broadcast three times in a row.

After about ten minutes, I saw Ding Ning running over, "Uncle, who is looking for me?" Isn't it my brother. ”

"No, it's a comrade from the People's Liberation Army looking for you."

"What about others?"

"Was it still there?"

I saw that Chief Zhang bought several strings of ice cream and ran over, took out one of them and handed it to the old man in the mailroom, "I was looking for you, you are so hard to find, I have searched almost all the printing houses in Jingbei." ”

"What are you looking for me?"

"Thank you, thank you for your stamps."

"Received the stamp?"

"Roger."

"That's fine, you go back, I still have to go to work." The girl was very calm.

"How can I ask for your stamps like this, you say more money, I'll give you money."

"I don't want the money, I haven't gotten off work yet. If you want to say anything, you can talk about it after work. ”

Zhang Gu waited for a long time, and finally ushered in the tide of off-duty crowd, Ding Ning was wearing an ordinary white undershirt today, but she looked better, and in front of the female workers, she looked extraordinarily outstanding.

Seeing Ding Ning riding over, Elder Zhang Gu waved his hand from afar, realizing that he wanted her to come over.

"Ning Ning, who is this. It's still a PLA uncle. The worker who came out with Ding Ning quipped.

"Nobody, I don't know how he came to the door."

Chief Zhang and Ding Ning both pushed their bicycles forward, Ding Ning didn't say anything, and finally Chief Zhang couldn't help but say, "Your name is Ding Ning?" My surname is Zhang. ”

"I'm not named Ding Ning."

"Don't they all call you Ding Ning? Why don't you scream? ”

"Do you believe my four or five surnames? One surname and one name, my mother has been married many times, and there is one name in the family. ”

Chief Zhang didn't say anything after hearing this, he knew that Ding Ning must have her story, so she didn't want others to call her Ding Ning.

"Oh. Thank you for your stamps. ”

"I did it myself."

"You also made the riot ticket yourself?"

"What's wrong with this, let you have a long experience, go, go to my house."

It's a yard that couldn't be smaller. The distance from the house to the courtyard gate was only about less than two meters, and the dim hut was cleaned, and before Chief Zhang could say anything, Ding Ning opened his mouth.

"My previous surname was Lee. The surname is Luo, and when I grew up, I think the surname Ding is also very good. I followed one of the stepfathers' surname Ding, this house belonged to my dead father, I didn't like to live with my mother, so I moved here. ”

Ding Ning introduced himself very clearly, and Zhang Guchang entered the room and admired the photos hanging on the wall.

"The kettle is out of boiling water, you wait for a while, I'll boil it." Saying that, Ding Ning walked out of the house.

"I'm not thirsty." Zhang Gu shouted, in order to let Ding Ning not trouble entertaining him.

After a while, when Chief Zhang walked to one of the photos of a middle-aged man, he found that there was something wrong with the military hat that the man was wearing, it seemed to be much smaller, he thought it was very interesting, it was ugly to wear a small hat, and he took a photo and put it at home, which was really interesting.

"You see, this is my dad."

"Oh, how did he die?"

"I injured my spleen in a fight, and then I had surgery to remove it, and I died within a few days."

"Oh."

"Drink water, I don't have any good tea at home, I just went to the store and bought some tea powder, let's drink it."

"Very good." Chief Zhang took a sip of the water in the teacup and felt that it was okay.

"By the way, you haven't said what stamps are all about?"

"Can you talk about something else, let me tell you, the stamp is real, it's going down."

"I can't ask for it if you say that, I'll give it back to you tomorrow."

"You are so abrasive, just take it for you, and I will pay you back."

"Favors? When did I help you? Chief Zhang was confused.

"The hat is yours, do you understand?" Ding Ning pointed to her father's photo with a military hat.

After hearing this, Chief Zhang was even more confused, and looked at the photo blankly.

I don't know when Ding Ning came out, but after a while, I saw her throw a hat on the kang, "You must take a closer look, do you still know each other?" ”

Chief Zhang picked up the military hat from the kang, this hat is still very new, it should not have been worn a few times, he looked at it several times, and finally saw a "Zhang" character on a small corner of the hat. This character must have been written by him, because he had been learning "Song style", the slender font, slightly slanted to the left, and he really couldn't remember what the hat was about.

"Can't you remember, let me remind you, do you remember that you used to be an off-campus counselor for a school, one day, you came to school wearing a new hat, and a girl cried and asked for it, saying that her father was dying, and she wanted to wear a hat."

Chief Zhang thought about it for a long time, as if there was such a thing, and at that time he was promoted, there was a fifth or sixth grade elementary school student, crying for his hat, as if the girl said that her surname was "Li".

"Come to think of it, back then, my dad was beaten by a gang of hooligans because of a military hat, but the hat was snatched away, and he died not long after, I just wanted to get a new hat for him to wear, so many years, I have been keeping it for you, he only wore this hat twice, once to take this photo, and once on the day he died."

Chief Zhang's heart was inevitably sour after hearing this, he didn't expect there to be such a thing, he looked at Ding Ning blankly, and didn't say a word.

"The hat is borrowed by me, today the thing is returned to the original owner, you take it back, the stamps will be used as interest, I Ding Ning don't want to owe others in my life."

"Okay, if you have something to do in the future, just come to me, I'll go first."

Originally, he was in a happy mood, but he was already very depressed at this time, Chief Zhang rode on the way home, repeatedly thinking about what Ding Ning said today, this poor little girl, I didn't expect to receive his help, thinking of this, Chief Zhang was much more relaxed, he let go of his hands, and the bicycle was moving forward quickly without hand support, until it disappeared into the sunset.
