Tamura didn't expect to see Shi Lan in the family courtyard of the military department. It's been a few days since he returned from leave, and this is the first time he's been home since he joined the army. After being idle for a while, he was a little at a loss, so he walked here and there in the family courtyard. However, in two years, the family home has changed a little. Two years ago, he was still a child, and there was nothing in the military compound in his eyes, just a place for him to live; And today he is already an officer, and the military compound in his eyes is much more sacred. It was time to go to work, and the family courtyard was quiet, with the occasional patrolling soldier hurrying across the road.

When Tamura was wandering aimlessly, a car bell suddenly rang behind him, and the quiet world was suddenly shattered by the crisp bicycle bell, and Tamura quickly ducked to the side of the road. He saw a bicycle parked in front of him.

A female voice asked, "Comrade, how do I get to Building No. 5?"

He raised his head and was stunned, the person who was talking to him was Shi Lan from the division hospital. He looked at her in amazement.

Shi Lan was also a little surprised, and opened her eyes wide in surprise and said, "Hey, why are you?"

The two looked at each other for a while, but Shi Lan reacted first: You have been transferred to the army?

I took a vacation, and my family lived in this compound.

Shi Lan opened her mouth, a look of astonishment. Tamura looked at her in front of him, and he also looked puzzled. He hadn't seen Shi Lan for a long time, and after that training, she was admitted to the nursing school, and when he was hospitalized in the division hospital, Shi Lan was already gone. It was also when she saw the report written by Liu Dong in the newspaper of the military region that she learned that Tamura had become a model for the whole army to study. None of them imagined that they would meet in the family courtyard of the military headquarters.

Seeing Tamura's puzzled look, she explained: I came to see a classmate, and he lives in Building No. 5.

Tamura pointed ahead: Go ahead, turn left at the intersection.

Shi Lan pushed the cart forward, Tamura thought about it, followed along, and still asked puzzled: Aren't you in nursing school, why did you get here?

Shi Lan opened her eyes wide and looked at him mischievously: "School is on vacation, I have to go home to see."

Isn't your family in the military district?

Tamura's series of questions made Shi Lan laugh: There is nothing strange about this. My dad left and lived in the third branch of the dry rest house.

Only then did he remember that there was a military cadre rest house here, but he didn't expect that Shi Lan's house was so close to his house, just two streets away. He insisted on sending her to Building Five, and when he turned around and walked back, he glanced back at Shi Lan again, but he didn't expect that she was also looking at him, and the two of them smiled embarrassedly.

Back at the intersection where he had just met Shi Lan, he stood there, not knowing what to do for a while. Looking at the sky, it was still early, and when he was at a loss, he saw Shi Lan pushing his bicycle over. He stood there and asked, "Why did you leave so quickly?"

She told him that there was no one at her classmate's house.

The two men walked forward side by side, and when they came to a stone bench on the side of the road, Tamura proposed: Why don't you sit for a while? Maybe that classmate of yours will be back soon.

Shi Lan didn't say anything, put up her bicycle, and sat on the stone bench. For a while, no one knew what to say, and there was a brief silence. Later, it was Tamura who broke the deadlock, and he asked Shi Lan in a matter-of-fact manner: Do you still read books now?

Shi Lan pointed to the basket and said: I came to return the books to my classmates today.

Only then did he see that there were two books wrapped in book jackets in the basket.

Shi Lan still remembered that Tamura fell during the training exercise, she looked at his face and said: Isn't there no scar, you pretended to be so serious at that time, so that we were criticized by the head nurse.

Hearing Shi Lan say this, he also laughed, and defended himself: Do you carry the wounded like that? The good guys also let you toss and fall apart.

The two of them laughed together so hard that they couldn't stand up straight.

I heard that you are now a platoon commander?

He nodded and said: I am out of the ordinary, unlike you, who have passed the examination to do it.

She tilted her head and looked at him playfully: I heard that the female militia you saved is very beautiful?

Shi Lan's words reminded him of Su Xiaoxiao. He now communicates with Su Xiaoxiao almost every week, saying something he misses. On this vacation, he wanted to go to Shematun to have a look, but when he arrived at the train station, he bought a ticket home.

It has been more than half a year since the last training, and his mentality has also changed a lot, and the image of Su Xiaoxiao occasionally pops up in his mind, but he has never carefully pondered the relationship with Su Xiaoxiao in the future. He admitted that in that special environment, he and Su Xiaoxiao had a good impression of each other, which was a beautiful and romantic day in his youth; Later, he was injured for her, and she came to the hospital desperately to take care of him, when he was lying on the hospital bed, looking at Su Xiaoxiao who was revolving around him, he didn't sort out that emotion, he only felt that when he was lonely, he needed gentle companionship; Then he was discharged from the hospital, he was promoted, the time and place have changed, and now he can't help but seriously consider his relationship with Su Xiaoxiao.

He understands that his parents are just one of his children, not to mention that he has been promoted now, even if he is demobilized and comes back, can he really marry Su Xiaoxiao? If you have such a determination, can your parents agree? From the very beginning, his relationship with Su Xiaoxiao made him seem not very confident. Every time, in the face of Su Xiaoxiao's enthusiastic letter, he had to think about it for a while, and then reply to the letter very rationally.

Shi Lan's mention of Su Xiaoxiao at this time made Tamura feel embarrassed and blush, and he prevaricated indiscriminately: Don't listen to their nonsense.

Shi Lan didn't mind his reaction, and said with her hand, "I also listened to the people in the hospital, saying that the girl still came to see you, and it was difficult to give up when you left."

Tamura's heart suddenly became complicated, and he couldn't tell what it was like, so he could only laugh and laugh: They are talking nonsense, and they are here to thank the troops.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Shi Lan stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: I'm sorry, you are a cadre now, even if you have something, you don't need to hide it.

Tamura stood up and blushed and defended: It's nothing, I really have nothing to do with her.

The more seriously he explained, the more happy Shi Lan became, and she said with a wicked smile: Look at you, it's nothing, so what are you anxious about? I'm kidding you, you're now the youngest officer in the division, who are you in love with, and you won't find a village girl, right?

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and Tamura's heart was "chuckling" again, and even Shi Lan felt that he and Su Xiaoxiao were not suitable. Before this, the residual trace of nostalgia and concern for Su Xiao in my heart was completely broken in an instant. In his heart, it was all a memory forever. At this time, he suddenly felt relaxed and returned to his previous appearance, and then said something out of tune to Shi Lan in a peachy manner, which made her laugh. Suddenly, he changed his words, pointed at Shi Lan's nose and said: What about me, you and Liu Dong were so close at the beginning, is there something wrong?

At the mention of Liu Dong, Shi Lan stopped laughing. Since that time when she went to return the book, Liu Dong ignored her, and she never looked for him again. She didn't expect Liu Dong to be so timid and afraid, although she admired him from the bottom of her heart, and even the small poems she wrote were only read by him, but he still disappointed her. After she went to school and left the division hospital, Liu Dong completely disappeared from her sight. Although she occasionally saw Liu Dong's articles in the newspapers of the military region, she only remembered him when she saw Liu Dong's name.

Seeing Shi Lan's face change, Tamura said: Liu Dong has joined the military region's teaching team, and he will not be able to come back until half a year later.

She was silent for a while, and said: Liu Dong should go to school, and he should also be promoted, our division needs people like him.

Then, the two said something nonchalantly, and Shi Lan saw that it was not too early, so she said goodbye to Tamura. Looking at her distant back, an idea suddenly popped up in Tamura's heart, before this, this idea was still very blind, but at this time, it was suddenly clear.
