Chapter 12 The deepest water is tears

Zhang Liang's wife, Li Na, is a native of Panjin, one year younger than Zhang Liang, 24 years old. She also came to Dalian a year after Zhang Liang, and came to this beautiful coastal city in 2004.

Li Na is pure and beautiful, and has the fashion style of a literary star. But she retains the traditional old truth in her bones: honest people are good people. Zhang Liang's rigidity attracted Li Na's attention, and when she first came into contact with Zhang Liang, she left six words: honest, honest, and down-to-earth.

Li Na's aunt opened a small grocery store at the intersection of the old market in Nanguanling, Ganjingzi District, Dalian City, and handed it over to Li Na to take care of. Since the spring of 2005, every morning at around 7:25 a.m., a handsome and capable armed police soldier will walk into this small shop, say, "Please bring me a box of cigarettes", point to the brand of cigarettes, take the money, and say "thank you"! Turn around and go out.

He is Zhang Liang, a sergeant of the combat logistics support brigade of the Dalian Public Security Fire Detachment, responsible for the purchase of non-staple vegetables in the canteen. Zhang Liang entered the shop, his posture was tall, his eyes did not squint, "Please bring me a box of cigarettes", as if he spit out words according to the regulations.

One morning, Li Na didn't see Zhang Liang, and it was another armed police soldier who went to the market to buy vegetables. Li Na chased after the soldier and asked, "Why didn't that person come?" ”

The warrior said, "His name is Zhang Liang, do you miss him?" ”

The warrior's words were so blunt that red clouds rose on Li Na's face. But Li Na had a charter and said, "Yes, I miss him." "Laughed at the warriors.

It is not clear how this soldier said this to Zhang Liangxue when he returned to the police barracks, but Zhang Liang must have been happy when he heard it. Li Na is a pure and beautiful flower with dew drops in his heart, and the wife in his mind is like Li Na. He went to the grocery store every day to buy cigarettes, "Please give me ......", just to take a look at Li Na.

This layer of window paper was pierced, and Li Na and Zhang Liang were officially dealt with. Li Na knows in her heart that if you don't have a hippie smile, don't say sweet words, and keep a rigid and restrained young man, he is an honest and long-term person. Such people have deep affection.

One day, the two of them exchanged heart-to-heart words, that is, to answer a question: What do you like about me?

Zhang Liang said: "I like that you are kind, cheerful and beautiful. ”

Li Na said: "I like you to be honest, honest and down-to-earth. Say what is what, no more words. ”

After the relationship was confirmed, Zhang Liang went to the provincial fire brigade in Shenyang to learn to drive. This point is half a year, Li Na folded a thousand paper cranes, and Zhang Liang kept a diary. When they meet, they exchange with each other.

Li Na likes Zhang Liang's handwriting, which is neat and meticulous. Zhang Liang likes Li Na's ingenuity, and she does everything as generously as a flower.

In the year of the big winter meeting, Zhang Liang went to Harbin on a business trip. Originally, it was good to spend Valentine's Day together, but the object was a soldier who had no way, and he didn't care if you had Valentine's Day or not, day and night, even if the Chinese New Year's Eve said that there was a task, he had to pull his legs and go. On February 14, 2010, Valentine's Day, Li Na's girlfriend Zhang Yun said to her, Li Na, we are all singles today, let's spend Valentine's Day together. I don't have a partner, your boyfriend is on a business trip, let's go out on the street. Zhang Yun led Li Na to go to the flower shop to buy two red roses, and said that we have one branch for each person, how can a beautiful girl like you and me have no flowers in their hands? Then they went to the jewelry store. Zhang Yunxiang bought a white gold 18K ring, which was discounted by 300 yuan, and after she paid the money to buy the ring, she put it on Li Na's hand and said, "This ring belongs to you." ”

Li Na was very surprised and asked, "Why?" ”

Zhang Yun explained the reason for the incident. Before Zhang Liang went on a business trip, he handed Zhang Yun 500 yuan and told her to take Li Na to buy flowers, buy rings, and have another meal. 500 yuan, which is quite a big expense for Zhang Liang.

Li Na listened to this, and her heart warmed. Zhang Liang is a careful person, thinks about everything, and does everything carefully. He doesn't like to talk, and Li Na doesn't think he's romantic. Judging from this incident, Zhang Liang has a kind of romance that penetrates into his bones. Who says he's not romantic? A rose represents the only one, and Zhang conscience has taken everything into account.

October 21, 2009 is Li Na's 23rd birthday. In those days, Zhang Liang took a vacation to help his family harvest in rural Liaoyang. Everyone knows that the autumn harvest is the busiest and most tiring time. Despite this, Zhang Liang deliberately rushed back to Dalian from Liaoyang to celebrate Li Na's birthday. Li Na worked in Unicom's store, and it happened to be the store celebration that day, and she didn't leave work until 10 o'clock in the evening. Li Na returned to the house she and Zhang Liang rented, the longevity noodles had been cooked, and the small colored candles were inserted in the small white plastic tube of chewing gum, which was bright and warm. There are also two small pieces of cake on a plate. Zhang Liang left the money he usually saved to his parents in Liaoyang, and after buying small candles and cakes, he only had two yuan left in his pocket. But Li Na was very satisfied, and there was a feeling of being pampered, after all, this was Zhang Liang's birthday for her. The next morning, she was surprised and moved by the sight at the door.

They lived in a bungalow, and they had to walk three steps to get inside. ON THE STEPS, ZHANG LIANG SPRINKLED I LOVE YOU WITH WHITE SAND. He wanted Li Na to sprinkle diesel fuel when she walked to the door after work, so that the sand would burn, and a group of golden I LOVE YOu flames jumped at the door. However, Zhang Liang spilled the diesel early and volatilized, and this idea was not realized, which made Zhang Liang feel very annoyed.

Li Na was so moved when she saw Bai Sha's English love language. Who said that Zhang Liang is not romantic, he has many romantic whimsy in his heart. He said that he especially envied those who picked up their girlfriends from work, talked and laughed together, went home, or went shopping, how comfortable it was. But the military can't do that, and the good thing is that they can go home with one day off a week.

They have already registered the marriage formalities, received the certificate, and are just waiting for the wedding. Non-commissioned officers can register their marriages. After registration, the wedding was scheduled for July 2010, the month of the July 16 fire.

It is not right to say that Zhang Liang is romantic. If he wore a police uniform and went out on the street, Li Na was not allowed to carry his arm, and he had to keep a distance when he walked, and he would be closer, he would be angry. This soldier is too rigid. Walking on the road, Zhang Liang must walk on the side of the passing car and let Li Na be inside. Li Na originally ignored these things, but after his death, Li Na recalled the details of their lives little by little. Is this romantic, or not? Li Na feels romantic, this is the warmth of men, giving women a sense of security.

Their experience of falling in love, Li Na recalls today both sweet and sorry. Zhang Liang loves his daughter-in-law so much that when he comes home from vacation every week, he begins to wash and take care of all the housework. At this time, Li Na deliberately picked up the mop and mopped the floor, Zhang Liang took the mop angrily, he did not allow his daughter-in-law to do a little work when he was at home. Li Na likes to see him angry and can't say a word, and deliberately angry with him.

Zhang Liang said: "It's not easy to be a wife for a soldier, so we can do more housework." ”

That's true, too. Once, Li Na had a cold and fever and wanted to drink water, but she didn't even have a bottle of water at home, and she didn't even have the strength to go out to buy water. Another time, Li Na burned her leg with a string of big blisters and limped to the hospital. The doctor punctured the blisters one by one and rubbed iodine. At that time, Li Na was so painful that she burst into tears, thinking to herself, what to do with her husband? Isn't it time to put my arms around your shoulders and give you comfort? But if you marry a soldier, you don't expect anything.

Li Na told Zhang Liang about this, but Zhang Liang lowered his head and didn't say a word. He felt deeply sorry in his heart, and wished to compensate his wife with the best performance and the most valuable gift.

Some time before the July 16 fire, the Dalian Public Security Fire Detachment held a speech contest, and most of the contestants were cadres, only two non-commissioned officers, and Zhang Liang was one of them. Zhang Liang was very proud, and he memorized the manuscript over and over again in front of the mirror during his break, and hundreds of times was the lowest number. Li Na was his coach, and she was looking for his faults. Zhang Liang's speech was generally flawless, the script was familiar, his demeanor was heroic, and his momentum was overwhelming. But he couldn't distinguish the sound of his flat tongue, and tirelessly said "tirelessly", so anxious that he stomped his feet. Li Na grabbed it, and Zhang Liang practiced as soon as he opened his eyes - "tireless, not tireless." ”

In order to prepare for the wedding, Li Na quit her job. At 8 a.m. on July 20, she called Zhang Liang, but no one answered. She sat there, staring at the phone, waiting for him to call back, but he didn't answer. At 10:03, Zhang Liang's comrade-in-arms called and asked something strange:

"Where are you? Is there someone else around, why are you going for a while? You call me when you get to work. ”

Li Na asked, "What about Zhang Liang?" ”

The comrade-in-arms said, "He's in front." ”

The more Li Na thought about it, the more wrong it became. She has quit her job, what is she doing in the unit? Li Na got on the bus and went to the shop where she used to work. The bus stopped and went, and Li Na felt a huge fear hit her, and suddenly, a thought popped up in her heart - she hated Zhang Liang very much, and wanted to hit him, bite him, and kick him. The most incredible thing is that she fell asleep on the bus, or rather, she entered another world in a daze, very sleepy and wanted to sleep. At this time, she suddenly saw Zhang Liang fall into the sea, and Hula woke up. She picked up the phone and called Zhang Liang and turned off the phone. She called her comrades-in-arms, and the comrades-in-arms said, "You will fight again when you get to the store." At this time, Li Na was going crazy, and she clearly felt that Zhang Liang had fallen into the sea. She ran to the store, looked for the boss, and asked the boss to call Zhang Liang's comrades.

The comrade-in-arms asked slowly: "Are you the boss?" ”

The boss said, "Yes." ”

Li Na and the other sisters could hear the phone calls of their comrades. The comrade-in-arms over there paused for a long time and said, "Zhang Liang is gone." ”

The boss asked, "Why not?" ”

Comrade-in-arms: "Fell into the sea." ”

Li Na grabbed the phone and asked, "Why don't you go to the rescue quickly, why do you still call?" ”

The voices of the comrades-in-arms became smaller and smaller, with sobs: "We saved." ”

The boss grabbed the phone: "What time did you drop it?" Why don't you save him? ”

The aggrieved cry of the comrades-in-arms: "We saved it, we don't know how to save ......" The cry of the comrades-in-arms came from the other side of the phone. The comrades-in-arms were afraid that Li Na would not be able to bear it, so she asked her boss to answer the phone. He also held back his sadness, afraid of mentioning the words "I didn't save it", and cried bitterly when asked.

The fire detachment's car to pick up Li Na arrived, and the driver and comrades did not dare to look at Li Na. The car drove to the development zone, and the comrades-in-arms sent Li Na to the hotel. She was about to go to the scene and was blocked, but the leader and the female police officer of the detachment accompanied her.

Li Na can't remember what the hotel looks like, what the leaders are like, and what the fruits on the table can't remember. She asked when she would be able to see Zhang Liang, and the leader said to wait for the notice.

Li Na suddenly remembered Zhang Liang's call at 23 o'clock on the 19th: "Wife, close the doors and windows, I'm tired and want to sleep." Li Na thought about these words over and over again, as if she couldn't understand the meaning, what did these words portend? Why didn't Zhang Liang say more? Why don't you say more? I don't have any regrets about saying "I love you, husband".

Zhang Liang said that the wedding was held in his hometown in rural Liaoyang, and the team produced the best car. He said, let's not roll out the red carpet and scatter flower petals at the door......

Flower petals...... Zhang Liang is particularly fond of flowers. However, they have been in love for 5 years and have never played together. Build a firefighting iron army, and turn the flesh and blood of firefighters into a steel body, people are so tired that they can't get up, how can they have time to play. After 5 years of love, they went to Dalian Xinghai Park once, but they didn't take pictures. Li Na's heart turned upside down, and all that emerged was the past when the two were together. Once, she called Zhang Liang, the signal was not good, and she quarreled. He said that he was unreasonable, in fact, the girl was just a coquette, and Zhang Liang was angry enough that time. Also, she washed her clothes, Zhang Liang didn't let her wash them, and the two quarreled again, and Li Na had many angry scenes in her mind, which she felt was particularly precious. Zhang Liang was speechless when he was angry, biting his lip, his face was pale, and he lowered his head and sulked.

At 1 o'clock in the middle of the night on July 17, Zhang Liang called and said that he was in the rear to supply water and that it was safe. When she woke up early in the morning, Li Na went out on the street to buy the Peninsula Morning Post, which said that the fire was basically under control. In the evening, Zhang Liang called to say that the fire had been extinguished. There was no phone on the 18th, and when I called in the middle of the night on the 19th, Zhang Liang said, "I'm tired, I'm sleeping."

The wives of firefighters and soldiers all understand this rule, and whether they call or not, their husbands have the final say. Family members are not allowed to call the fire.

Li Na thought that they could take wedding photos on the 20th. Li Na chose a pure white wedding dress, the kind with a bandeau and a skirt hem that dragged all the way to the back. Zhang Liang likes her to have long hair, and Li Na has already thought of the style of the pan. Zhang Liang said that he wore a military uniform to take wedding photos, and he had already ironed the military uniform.

In the Jinzhou Funeral Home in Dalian, Zhang Liang was lying in the flowers, he lost a lot of weight, and his ears and lips were purple. When Li Na saw Zhang Liang, she wondered why she didn't cry or speak, just stared at him. She felt that Zhang Liang would be able to sit up after a while. 25-year-old Zhang Liang is full of energy, and it is impossible to die. Li Na didn't believe that Zhang Liang was dead at all.

Li Na said to her comrades-in-arms: "Zhang Liang is just tired and hasn't stopped, you pay attention and watch, he will definitely wake up." ”

On the day of the farewell of the body, the funeral home mourned and mourned, the black curtain on the yellow background was very depressing, and countless comrades-in-arms wept goodbye to Zhang Liang. Li Na was completely unaware of her surroundings, she stared at Zhang Liang, and said silently in her heart: Husband, sit up, sit up, sit up......

Li Na remembers that she did not cry at the farewell ceremony. She went to the team to clean up Zhang Liang's relics, opened them one by one, touched them, and did not cry. The comrades-in-arms were amazed at Li Na's control. But who knows, since Zhang Liang's body was cremated, Li Na has to cry every night before going to bed, not crying, but closing the doors and windows, and then calming down before she can fall asleep.

Li Na didn't dare to stay at home during the day, so she put her bag on her back and roamed the city. In the evening, she came home, opened the door and shouted, "Husband, baby is back." "Baby" is the title she agreed with Zhang Liang. Then, she changed her shoes, hugged Zhang Liang's photo, and said where she had gone today, what she had seen, and what she had said to whom. She spoke softly, tracing down the details to great detail, and then silence. Zhang Liang in the photo didn't say a word. At this time, Li Na would cry and scold Zhang Liang for why he didn't speak, and scolded him for why he left himself alone? You said you would live with me for the rest of your life, why did you leave alone at the age of 25?

Li Na threw things, smashed things, cried and was tired, wiped away her tears and made the bed. When he went to bed, he left a place for Zhang Liang and said, "Husband, you are tired, go to sleep."

During those months, Li Na did this every day. There was only one thing in the satchel she carried during the day - a marriage certificate.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Na sat outside the funeral home all day, and Zhang Liang's ashes were inside. She touched the marriage certificate with her hand, as if this was the only physical evidence of Zhang Liang's existence in this world. The day of the marriage registration was not smooth, Zhang Liang's soldier card was washed with water and was a little deformed. The civil affairs department said that the certificate was a fake certificate and asked him to go back to the detachment to issue a certificate, and Li Na waited at the marriage registration office for two hours, but her heart was still unsteady.

Zhang Liang loves cleanliness and beauty, and after sleeping, he stepped in front of the mirror first when he got out of bed to see if his hairstyle was messy.

Li Na went to the bay of the South China Sea wharf where Zhang Liang died. It was a calm day and the sea was gentle. Li Na took off her sandals and walked into the sea, thinking to herself that the sea was not deep, how could she drown people? Li Na knew that there were waves and oil stains that day. Li Na also knew that the Dalian Fire Detachment and the provincial fire officers and soldiers shed extremely deep tears for Zhang Liang.

What is the deepest water in the world? It's not the sea, it's the tears of officers and soldiers.
