Liu Dong and Liu Sanhuan
Liu Dong couldn't explain why he was always willing to go to the service agency to take a look, sometimes to buy a bottle of ink or a few pieces of manuscript paper, sometimes not to buy anything, just to have a look. When he caught up with the arrival of goods from the service agency, he would help unload the truck and move things, making him sweaty and dusty. Every time after the incident, Liu Sanhuan had to bring water and let him wash it.
Once, when he was done, Liu Dong was about to leave, and Liu Sanhuan stopped him: I thought you and Shi Lan would come together, but I didn't expect her to marry Tamura.
On the issue of Shi Lan, Liu Dong is already like water. Listening to Liu Sanhuan's words, he smiled faintly and said: How can I be worthy of Shi Lan.
Liu Sanhuan encouraged: You still lack courage, lack the courage of a man to chase a woman.
He smiled bitterly, said no more, and turned around and walked out of the service club. Liu Sanhuan stood at the door of the service club and watched him go away. After walking out for a while, he subconsciously turned his head and saw that she was still standing there, so he smiled at her and waved his hand. Liu Sanhuan's appearance was deeply imprinted in his mind at this time.
Since he knew from Master Liu that Liu Sanhuan was not as calm as he imagined, Liu Dong felt that something had brought him and Liu Sanhuan closer, after all, they were facing a lot of unhappiness in life, and when he saw the current Liu Sanhuan, he would think of himself. As a result, he naturally became much closer to Liu Sanhuan.
When he was about to leave work, he suddenly received a call from Liu Sanhuan from the service agency. Liu Sanhuan said on the phone: My dad wants to talk to you, if it's okay after work, come to my house.
He put down the phone and was stunned for a while, the division commander wanted to talk to him, what to talk about? If it's a work matter, he can let himself go to the office. At this time, he remembered what the teacher had said to him the last time he saw him.
It was the first time for him to go to Master Liu's house, and there were few opportunities to go to the family area before. The family area is in another courtyard behind the divisional office. When he walked into the division commander's house, he saw that the division commander was already sitting at the dining table waiting for him, and the meal was made by Liu Sanhuan, which was very rich. When he came in, Liu Sanhuan was still busy in the kitchen. He had heard others say before that Master Liu's wife had a car accident on the way to work a few years ago and died, and for so many years, Master Liu has been alone. At this time, he walked into the door of Master Liu's house and verified everything in front of him.
At this time, the attitude of Master Liu and Liu Dong when he was in the agency was very different, he stood up, pulled Liu Dong to his side, and then said while smiling: I am very happy that you can come today, come and have a few drinks with me, and we will talk casually.
After speaking, Master Liu personally took the wine bottle and poured wine for Liu Dong, and Liu Dong was flattered and quickly got up and went to grab the wine bottle in the teacher's hand.
Master Liu said: Come here, you are a guest, this is not an agency, we are friends now.
After listening to the teacher's words, his heart was warm, and he felt like crying.
Liu Sanhuan served the last dish and sat down at the table. As soon as she sat down, his restless heart stabilized.
Master Liu raised his wine glass, touched him, and tilted his head to dry. When he saw that the teacher had done it, he also drank it in one gulp.
Master Liu wiped his mouth and said: Sanhuan's mother has been gone for several years. When the third ring was in the main courtyard, I was left alone at home. Now that the Third Ring Road has been demobilized, with her with me, I will no longer be alone when I return home.
Liu Dong looked at the division commander in front of him and found that the division commander was so ordinary and approachable at home, and in his impression, the division commander was not smiling, and he was always vigorous and resolute. The current division commander is an old man and a father in his eyes, so he picked up his glass and said: "Teacher, I respect you."
The division commander was also not polite, and raised his glass and dried it again.
The division commander said: The three rings are bitter. When I was a child, I was transferred back and forth, and the two of them followed suit. Sanhuan came back from the main hospital after being injured, she always hid in the house and cried a few days ago, she was sad and couldn't think about it, which I understand.
When the division commander said this, there were tears in his eyes.
Liu Sanhuan buried his head and shouted: Dad-
The teacher let out a long breath and said: "Sanhuan, this child, has not enjoyed a few days of happiness with me since he was a child, and it is good to come back, so accompany me, a lonely old man." I don't have two years to do before I retire.
After the division commander finished speaking, he was a little sad. This is the other side of the division commander in Liu Dong's eyes, the division commander he understands is a soldier with outstanding military achievements, and in the eyes of the whole division, it is a symbol, fearless and courageous. He couldn't imagine that the cold-faced division commander still had a vulnerable side.
The teacher commander said: I read the article you wrote about the Three Rings, and it is very touching, and you young people still understand young people. In the future, when you have time, you will often come to sit and sit, and if you can't think about the third ring, you will enlighten her.
After a few glasses of wine, Master Liu was a little emotional, from his gaze, Liu Dong could feel that the teacher loved his daughter so much, at this time, he actually had a little envy and jealousy in his heart.
Since then, he has really come to Liu Sanhuan often, he feels that he is unrestrained with her, and he has a sense of steadfastness in his heart. When he came, most of the time Division Commander Liu was not there, the division commander was very busy, often went to the army, and he would work overtime in the office if he didn't go to the army.
Every time they came, they didn't have anything important to say, and she would talk about things that were interesting when she was a soldier in the main courtyard. When it comes to having fun, the two laugh freely. When it was his turn to speak, he talked about his experience as a soldier, about his sister giving up happiness for him, and his brother supporting the family like a father. When he said that his brother was in prison for his sister, Liu Sanhuan's eyes were red. Then, neither of them spoke, and a faint sadness enveloped the two young men.
After a long time, she raised her head and said softly: You have a good brother and a good sister. When I was a child, what I envied the most was that my friends had older brothers and sisters, but I didn't, and no one helped me when I quarreled with someone outside.
Thinking of his brother and sister, Liu Dong felt an inexplicable sourness hit his heart, a little sad and a little melancholy, and a kind of warmth from family affection slowly flowed through his heart.
In the past, he rarely mentioned his family to others, feeling that his home had nothing worth talking about, on the contrary, he was afraid that people would know his home, and he felt that his face was gloomy; In front of Liu Sanhuan, he was calm and calm when he talked about his relatives, without any psychological burden and obstacles.
When he couldn't sleep at night, he thought about his interaction with Liu Sanhuan, and felt that it was so natural and cordial. He didn't have a sense of inferiority in front of her, even though she was the daughter of the teacher. When he calmed down, he thought, is it because of Liu Sanhuan's injured leg? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, he can't tell. When he can't say clearly, he can only believe in fate. If Liu Sanhuan was not injured, she would still be a nurse in the main hospital, wearing a white coat all day long, wafting around like a fairy in the faint smell of Laisu water; In that case, they won't have a chance to talk. Thinking about it, he was a little glad that her injured leg was gone.
Liu Dong found that he was becoming more and more inseparable from Liu Sanhuan, and as long as he saw her, his heart would be stable. From enlistment to the present, he has never been stable in his heart, the iron-clad battalion is a flowing soldier, every year the veterans are gone, the new recruits are coming, the barracks are like a crop field, cutting a stubble, and another stubble has grown, so his heart is also up and down in this stubble and stubble rotation. He had imagined his future family, but he couldn't imagine what it would be like. Since approaching Liu Sanhuan, he has an abstract understanding of the future family, which should make him quiet and be the camp of his life.
After Shi Lan and Tamura got married, they could often be seen walking around each other on the Linyin path in the evening camp. Liu Dong saw it from afar, and would always take a detour to avoid meeting them, and he couldn't tell why. In short, he was reluctant to let them meet him. He envied their happiness and at the same time was jealous of their love.
If I have a home one day, I will definitely bring my mother here. Brother went to prison, and now he is most at ease with his mother, when he thinks of his mother, he has a feeling of being left behind, where is his home? When he thought so, he had already come to the family courtyard and stood downstairs at the division commander's house. At this time, the light in Liu Sanhuan's room was still on.
