Liu Dong, who studied in the military region's teaching team, began to plan for his future life. After half a year, after the training of the training team, he will be a legitimate officer. In other words, he is no longer a farmer, the countryside has become his birthplace, and only when he fills out his resume in the future, will he mention Wangjiatun, who gave birth to him and raised him.

At this time, Liu Dong was standing in the queue with his waist straight, and the soldiers standing in front of him and behind him would all be future officers. Now in his heart, Shi Lan's name appears most frequently, Shi Lan is always in his heart, but he is buried deep in his heart. For the sake of his own future, he must then suppress his good wishes; But now it's different, Shi Lan's image erupts in his chest like a volcano at any time.

Shi Lan is a part of his dream, from the time he knew her, he remembered her fiercely in his heart, at that time Shi Lan was a kite floating in his dream, high and far, he could see it, but he couldn't grasp it, he could only appreciate it from afar. He once felt inferior in front of her, and he knew that Shi Lan's father was a high-ranking cadre in the military region, and she was naturally the daughter of a high-ranking cadre. Then he also thought of Hu Xiaohu, if Hu Xiaohu's father was not the leader of the brigade, his sister would not marry him. When his sister agreed to marry Hu Xiaohu, he realized that his sister would not be happy, and he didn't have the courage to say it at that time, even if his brother and sister knew what the result was, they could only do it without hesitation, all in order to make him happy. My sister doesn't marry Hu Xiaohu, he may still farm at home like his brother, and all his dreams are just the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror.

Liu Dong understands life and feels fate with the feelings of a farmer's son. In his eyes, Shi Lan was born happy, and what she should get in her fate will be held in her hands naturally, as a soldier, going to school, and then being a cadre, everything is like a commonplace; As for him, he has to work a hundredfold and a thousand times harder to catch up with the footsteps of these cadres.

Tamura is the same, because his father is a deputy commander, he can show his personality and do whatever he wants, and fate always seems to favor these lucky ones. Tamura was out of the ordinary, in the days when Tamura Tigan, he had low self-esteem, and he was also sad, he was inferior and he didn't have the same luck as Tamura anyway, sad that he was just a farmer's son, and if he was born in a rich family, what would his fate be? He must be like Tamura and Shi Lan, living a carefree life, even if he is not promoted in the army, he will find a good job when he returns after three years of soldiering.

In his spare time, while thinking about his fate, Liu Dong actually hated his own background, and thought of his parents from his background, in his impression, his parents had never done anything in his life that made him proud. They frown all day long, sigh for the difficult life, and shed tears for fate. Poor couples mourn everything, this is their parents, from childhood to adulthood, he has seen and heard too many tears and lamentations of his parents. He was all too familiar with all this, and when he faced his fate, he also learned to sigh over and over again, and he knew that this was his fate.

What he didn't expect was that Shi Lan would take the initiative to associate with him, she lent him books, and discussed news writing with him. Reading the book she had lent him, he was immersed in a great happiness, and at that time, he did not dare to think anything out of the ordinary, but only regarded it as a dream, both surprised and delighted, and more often a sleepwalking feeling.

When Tamura reminded him at the right time, he suddenly sobered up, although he didn't have any distracting thoughts, but in order to get a firm foothold in the army in the future, he could only choose to quit in his relationship with Shi Lan. After withdrawing, he found that Tamura had the courage to go to find Shi Lan, not to mention how uncomfortable it was in his heart. When he found that there was nothing between Shi Lan and Tamura, his heart finally calmed down, and a few times, he had seen Shi Lan from a distance, but he could only watch from a distance. He knew that he was not worthy of Shi Lan at this time. Shi Lan is a flower, he is not even a little grass. Later, he knew that Shi Lan was admitted to the nursing school of the military region, and she was like a kite with a broken string, floating out of his sight, and at that time, his heart was clean. He persuaded himself where there was no one, and counted himself: Liu Dong, Liu Dong, who do you think you are, the toad wants to eat swan meat, and he doesn't pee to take care of himself, you die of this heart. Liu Dong, you are also the son of a farmer, and you will also be a farmer in the future......

He scolded himself in the most vicious language, and only in this way seemed to be able to soothe his fragile, inferior heart.

After arriving at the teaching team, he found that the nursing school of the military region was only separated by a wall from the teaching team. This is the training base of the military region, and not only soldiers are trained, but also quite a number of cadres are trained here, and it is very lively all day long, and the various training teams take turns to walk by, and the sound of songs and slogans is one after another. Of course, the most beautiful thing is the song of the nurse team students, all the female soldiers are like a landscape, and the singing is as sweet as their people.

Knowing that Shi Lan was studying in the nurse team next door, grass grew in Liu Dong's heart, and the kite that flew out seemed to be back in his sky, but he still didn't have the courage to go to Shi Lan. Many students in their hospital took advantage of their break time to find excuses to go to the nurse team to meet their acquaintances and comrades-in-arms. Before they went, they all cleaned up themselves, found the best fitting uniform, shaved their beards, and smeared some skin cream on their faces, and then went away in good spirits, and came back blushing again. They were in a good mood, humming songs, and their eyes were always glancing in the direction of the nurses across the wall. They are all future officers, and they already have the right to fall in love, so they seem very bold and scrambling. The little grass that was arching in their hearts had grown into a towering tree at this time.

However, Liu Dong's heart was still grass, and he didn't have the courage to walk over. He had conceived several outcomes of going to see Shi Lan, the worst one was that Shi Lan ignored him, and the other was lukewarm, and the best result was that he was very enthusiastic about him. He certainly hoped it would be the last one. Before determining Shi Lan's attitude, he didn't dare to act rashly, and finally he chose to write a letter, which was tactful and subtle. First of all, I informed myself that I was studying here, and I hadn't seen her for a long time, and finally I hoped that I would have the opportunity to encourage each other as before.

The letter was sent, the hope was released, and all that remained was to wait with peace of mind.

A few days later, Shi Lan replied, and there was only a piece of paper in the letter, not a letter, but a small poem. The poem reads:

Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog

In front is the mountain, behind is the road

Mountains overhead,

The road is underfoot......

This enigmatic little poem made Liu Dong puzzled. He kept the piece of paper in his pocket and took it out to look at it when he was fine. He couldn't figure out what Shi Lan's attitude towards him was, and after several nights of insomnia, the little poem was still turning over in his mind.

He really wanted to be like everyone else, so he walked confidently to the downstairs of the nurse team and called her downstairs like Shi Lan called him back then. Then the two of them walked on Lin Yin Road and talked about their reading experience, of course, these are not the goal, if the mood is good, they can also talk about something else, if the situation is appropriate, he may grab her hand and confess to her the emotions he has suppressed in his heart for a long time. He imagined what kind of result it would be if he and Shi Lan got along, which would be exciting and exciting.

He was excited about his thoughts, but before Shi Lan had a clear attitude, he could only wait, waiting for the olive branch she tossed.

He wrote to her again, reminiscing about the past and looking forward to the future, but the letter was written in a vague and empty way, with no real content, because he had no bottom in his heart. Next, there is a new round of waiting.

Liu Dong didn't have the courage to walk into the nurses' team, so he often walked around the gate of the nurses' team, and he hoped to see Shi Lan here. As a result, every time, he was disappointed. did not receive a reply from Shi Lan, and his courage was cut in half.

On Sundays, he went to the bookstore to buy books. When he walked out of the door of the bookstore, he saw the backs of two female soldiers hurrying by, and the back of one of the female soldiers was very similar to Shi Lan. At an intersection with a red light, two female soldiers stopped, and he shouted in the back: Shi Lan-

The two female soldiers turned back together, and he smiled at them in disappointment. The female soldier who was very similar to Shi Lan smiled and told him: Shi Lan is in the team.

He blushed and apologized: I'm sorry, I saw the wrong person.

The female soldier asked again: Then who are you? Do you need me to bring a letter to Shi Lan?

He hurriedly waved his hand and said: No, no, thank you.

At that time, he often suffered from insomnia, and Shi Lan became a piece of his heart. Although she was close at hand, he just didn't have the courage to approach her, so she seemed so far away that he couldn't see or touch her.

Shi Lan didn't expect that she would receive a letter from Liu Dong across the wall. At first, she understood this letter as Liu Dong's subtlety, and for this reason, she also took the trouble to reply to him with a small poem.

She thought that maybe at any time, Liu Dong would appear downstairs in the dormitory and call her name. A few days passed, and Liu Dong did not appear, but waited for his letter again. While opening the letter, she thought, just a few steps, can she write a letter? If there's something you don't come to talk about, won't you come and talk about it? She read the letter at a glance, but she didn't reply, thinking: See if you Liu Dong is coming.

When I first met Liu Dong, they were all recruits, and she knew Liu Dong's name in the recruit company, and Liu Dong was the pride of those recruits at that time. When she was in middle school, she liked to write small things, and she spent more time reading idle books in her spare time, but she didn't study her homework very hard. During the college entrance examination, she didn't think about going to university, so she chose to join the army. Her dream is to be a female poet, so she keeps sending the small poems she writes to the newspaper, but it is a sea of mud cows. But she still writes diligently, and in those days she was a standard literary youth.

Liu Dong came to prominence at that time, although he wrote news reports, which was obviously different from Shi Lan's literature, but after all, it was published in the newspaper in black and white, which could not help but make Shi Lan envious. After the recruit company ended, she asked around about Liu Dong's whereabouts. Not long after, the Division's Propaganda Section organized a journalism training course, and she was also named to participate in the study. Her talent was not recognized by the newspapers at that time, but it was more reflected in the blackboard of each issue. Whether it is a recruit company or a hospital, every issue of the blackboard newspaper has been contracted by her, with pictures and texts, and it is also embellished with romantic poems, and her comrades-in-arms call her an amateur poet.

It was in that journalism training class that she really got to know Liu Dong. Liu Dong is not good-looking, and sometimes he looks a little wooden, but this is Liu Dong, which makes her firmly remember it. With the feelings of a girl with dreams, she sensitively captured Liu Dong's every move. She was willing to talk to him and discuss the books they had read together, when Liu Dong talked about his reading feelings, Mu Ne's expression swept away, his face was excited, and his language was fluent, although sometimes there were cases of words not reaching the meaning and stuttering, but this also became an advantage in Shi Lan's eyes.

At that time, she loved to associate with him, lent him her books to read, and then the two discussed together. She couldn't tell what kind of feelings it was, but she wished she could see him often, hear him talk, and see the smile on his face. But then, he suddenly began to avoid her, which made her puzzled, and she did not know where she had offended him. The books lent to him were also returned by Tamura, without a word, which turned her from puzzlement to anger. It wasn't until Liu Dong's cold attitude towards her when he took up his post that she broke off the idea of dating him, although her heart was full of grievances.

Soon, Liu Dong's shadow faded little by little in her heart. Occasionally, in the newspapers of the military region and other places, when she saw Liu Dong's name for the first time, her heart would still move, and she had a kind of sadness and resentment of a girl. Gradually, when I saw Liu Dong's name again, I was a little angry, and I took the pen to the ground to smear the two familiar words, until it turned into a circle of black bumps, I was still angry, and I poked it with the pen beyond recognition. She said over and over again in her heart: Liu Dong, what's so great about you?

Recently, after receiving Liu Dong's letter, Shi Lan's heart was still very happy, but Liu Dong's letter still did not explain the reason for ignoring her, she naturally couldn't forgive him, on the contrary, she replied to Tamura very happily, although Tamura's letter did not have a very practical content. For Tamura, Shi Lan has an indescribable feeling, but she can feel that he and Liu Dong are not the same kind of people, he is the kind of person who dares to act and has ideas. Tamura left the team to go to southern Xinjiang without permission, and the hospital also made a report, and she felt that he was a very interesting person, and there was a ruthlessness in him. In the past, he only left her with a very sloppy impression, a little scoundrel, and with that incident, the scoundrel became a kind of obsession.

At this time, Shi Lan was using the slenderness and sensitivity of a woman to appreciate Liu Dong and Tamura, the two male soldiers who impressed her.

Liu Dong didn't wait for news from Shi Lan. A few months passed in a blink of an eye, and seeing that most of the half-year life of the teaching team had passed, Liu Dong was a little unwilling, so he carefully sent the third letter. The content of the letter is expressed calmly, and there is a bit of a lingering flavor. The letter not only wrote about the friendship between the two people, but also mentioned his worries and fears about the relationship between the two when he was a recruit, after all, there were already people who made irresponsible remarks, and he had to break off relations with her considering the progress of the two people. If she still holds a grudge against this matter, he sincerely hopes to get her forgiveness, and at the same time, he also hopes to re-establish the friendship between the two and contribute to the construction of the army.

One evening, a few days after the letter was sent, he was washing clothes in the water room when a comrade-in-arms from the dormitory rushed to find him and said that a female soldier from the nurse team had come looking for him.

He immediately thought of Shi Lan, and he didn't bother to wash the soap bubbles on his hands, so he ran to the dormitory. I saw a female soldier standing at the door of the dormitory with his back to him, he stopped and shouted: Shi Lan-

The female soldier turned her head, but what Liu Dong saw was the female soldier whose back looked very similar to Shi Lan. She looked at him, didn't smile, and said in a serious tone: Hey, you called me Shi Lan twice, what's the matter? Has Shi Lan already drilled into your heart?

He looked at her with embarrassment.

The female soldier couldn't help laughing and took out a folded note: Shi Lan asked me to send you something for you.

With that, she slapped the note in his hand, and he stood there like a goose.

When the female soldier was leaving, she said half-jokingly and half-seriously: Hey, don't call me Shi Lan anymore in the future, I'm not her stand-in. My name is Liu Sanhuan, remember.

Liu Sanhuan is gone. Looking at Liu Sanhuan's back, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

I opened the beautifully folded note, and it said: It's easy to see me. Please run three laps around the playground of the escort team at 8 a.m. on Sunday.

He read the words on the note three times in a row before he understood the meaning, but why let him run three laps in the playground of the escort team? Liu Dong once again fell into confusion and incomprehension. But after all, this is Shi Lan's signal to herself, that is, to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and he also admitted it. So, he waited for the stars and the moon to come on Sunday.

Another Sunday came on track. On Saturday night, he didn't sleep well, got up at dawn, walked around the yard of the escort team, and kept looking at his watch, he couldn't imagine himself running here. He didn't understand why Shi Lan let him run on the playground, but this was another condition for Shi Lan to meet him. In order to see her, let alone running three laps, it was thirty laps, and he also recognized it.

At eight o'clock in ten, he appeared on the playground. On Sundays, the playground was lively, with people walking, chatting, washing clothes in the water room, and the sun shining brightly on the corners of the yard of the escort team. As soon as he appeared on the playground, he attracted the attention of many female soldiers. Liu Sanhuan and several female soldiers walked towards him, covering their mouths and laughing. He subconsciously glanced at his watch again and looked around, hoping to see Shi Lan, but she didn't know where she was hiding. However, he knew that Shi Lan must be watching him from a corner at this time.

Before he could run, the sweat came down, he wiped a handful of sweat, lowered his head, closed his eyes, and ran with his heart horizontal.

The playground of the escort team is five or six hundred meters long, and it was a little embarrassing to run at first, but after running a lap, the mentality was stable. At this time, he heard Liu Sanhuan and several female soldiers shouting: Liu Dong, come on-

The shouts of several female soldiers attracted more people's attention, and the windows of the building stuck out of their black heads and looked out of the playground. Liu Dongzhi felt that his whole body was burned by these gazes. By the time he reached lap three, his mind cleared up a bit, and he realized that it was Shi Lan who was taking revenge on him, and for at least for a while, his name would seep like air into every corner of the escort team, and then become a talking point for people to laugh at him. He couldn't manage so much, for the sake of Shi Lan, he gave up.

The three-lap run was finally over in agony, and he stood there panting and leaning on the parallel bars on the playground. Liu Sanhuan and several female soldiers took the lead in slapping him, unable to figure out whether to congratulate or ridicule.

He couldn't take care of it anymore and sat there. At this time, a pair of feet slowly walked into his sight, and he looked up along the feet and saw Shi Lan's face.

Shi Lan's appearance was calm and serious, and he stood up and looked at her.

Liu Dong, congratulations.

He looked at her puzzled, his face dazed.

She smiled and said, "You still have a little courage."

He was surprised and asked: You take revenge on me?

I'm not that careful. If you run three laps here today, you have improved.

Shi Lan laughed out loud after speaking, laughing uncontrollably.

Liu Dong didn't know what to do for a while, so he stood there with a red face and a thick neck.

Shi Lan finally laughed enough, and said seriously: Okay, you have seen me, what's the matter? Go ahead.

He sighed with relief, and he suddenly felt that he had nothing more to say to her at this point. In his heart, the current Shi Lan is no longer the Shi Lan of the past. Although she was standing in front of him, he felt that she was so far away from him.

After that, he finally dared to step through the door of the escort team. He and Shi Lan borrowed and returned books as before, and sometimes walked and sat on the playground to exchange reading experiences. But with Shi Lan's progress, her admiration for him is not as strong as before, and the relationship between the two seems to be very light, and there is no match.

During this period, he met Liu Sanhuan. Liu Sanhuan and Shi Lan were in the same dormitory, and they were nurses in the military hospital before coming to the training team. He also knew from Shi Lan's mouth that Liu Sanhuan was the daughter of Master Liu. She and Liu Dong were soldiers for a year, and she went to the military hospital as a soldier, so he didn't see her when he was in the 13th Division; After getting to know Liu Sanhuan, he felt more and more depressed when he got along with Shi Lan, I don't know if it was because of Shi Lan's beauty or something else, in short, there was a feeling that made him breathless. Liu Sanhuan didn't let him feel like this, she was always quiet, like an okra, but when he thought that she was the daughter of Master Liu, his heart sank, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart for a while.

Although his relationship with Shi Lan was dispensable, when he was fine, he still couldn't help but go to her. Shi Lan was sometimes busy and didn't care about him, so he talked to Liu Sanhuan for a while, because of the Thirteenth Division, they had many common topics, he was willing to see her smile, and when she smiled, his heart relaxed, like a light breeze floating in his heart. Sometimes in Shi Lan's dormitory, when he saw Liu Sanhuan there, he couldn't help but be excited; If it happened that Liu Sanhuan was not there, he would feel a little bored. He couldn't tell what was wrong with him, he was obviously here to find Shi Lan, but he had this feeling, and there was another flavor in his heart.

Once, when he was at Shi Lan's bedside, he saw a letter from Tamura, and he recognized Tamura's handwriting at a glance, but he didn't expect him to still be in a relationship with Shi Lan. When he saw Tamura's letter, he thought of Su Xiaoxiao, and his heart hurt a little, I don't know if it was for Su Xiaoxiao or for himself. He admired Tamura's free and uninhibited, and he was very casual in everything, but when he saw the letter, his heart was still sour.

He has no relationship with Shi Lan because he still has a trace of fantasy in his heart, if it is possible to fall in love with Shi Lan, his future will definitely be different from the present. Shi Lan is the child of a high-ranking cadre, and what does it mean to be a high-ranking child, he can't tell, he can't tell, it is the distance between him and Shi Lan. He wanted to show her further, but when he thought of this distance, he had no courage and could only associate with her so lightly.

In the dead of night, he would fantasize about what it would mean if he really had something to do with Shi Lan. Although he is about to be promoted, he has never had a sense of foundation, he thinks that those high-ranking children have roots; Without a foundation, there is no security, and he has to look for such security.

In his future interactions with Shi Lan, he often sighed unconsciously, and as soon as he sighed, Shi Lan frowned, and then said strangely: What kind of anger are you sighing again?

His eyes widened in disbelief: Did I sigh?

You sigh again!

Seeing Shi Lan's frowning appearance, he sighed again in his heart, just like his parents, helpless sighs have also become a part of his life. Who made himself a peasant child, he could only sigh in his heart.
