36, childhood sweetheart (2)

Liu Jiaqi's grandfather, and Jiang Feifei's grandfather were originally old comrades-in-arms, during the Anti-Japanese War in the Northeast, the two old comrades-in-arms once had a bold time in a regiment, Grandpa Liu was the regiment commander, Grandpa Jiang was the political commissar, and later with the improvement of their positions, the two comrades-in-arms separated, but they fought side by side, from the Northeast to Hainan Island, and at the same time transferred back to the Northeast Frontier Army, crossed the Yalu River side by side, and once again became old partners on the Korean battlefield, one was the army commander, and the other was the political commissar.

Grandpa Jiang returned to China ahead of schedule because he had to write military regulations. After Grandpa Liu returned to China, he was also arranged in the agency, and the houses of the two old comrades-in-arms became neighborhoods, two adjacent general buildings, one building lived in Grandpa Liu, and the other building lived in Grandpa Jiang, and the Liu family and the Jiang family became neighbors.

The sons of the two families also served in the army, but Grandpa Liu's son went to the northwest, and Grandpa Jiang's son entered the agency again. Jiang Feifei was born in this general building, but Liu Jiaqi was born in the northwest, because Grandpa Liu was still in this general building, Liu Jiaqi's parents sent him back to the old man, and Jiang Feifei and Liu Jiaqi became childhood sweethearts.

Jiang Feifei, who has been pampered since childhood, a pair of twin brothers and sisters, followed her grandparents, and often saw a small tail behind Grandpa Liu, at that time Liu Jiaqi was in Jiang Feifei's eyes, not to mention how pitiful, the tall and mighty Grandpa Liu, with the little grandson turned out to be a thin and withered, Grandpa Liu never led the child like other parents, but strode forward with a meteor, Liu Jiaqi followed closely behind Grandpa.

The story of Grandpa Liu's education to Liu Jiaqi often comes out of the conversation between Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang, and it is about the story of Grandpa Liu asking Liu Jiaqi to get up every morning.

Every morning after Grandpa Liu got up, he would go to Liu Jiaqi's room, and instead of speaking, he would lift Liu Jiaqi's quilt, and then shout loudly. After Liu Jiaqi woke up from the dream, all the actions were militarized, get up in the fastest time, get dressed in the shortest time, and then freshen up, tidy up the housework, run to the yard and gather with Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Liu ran in front, Liu Jiaqi chased behind, and after arriving at the playground, first jogged two laps, then ran 8 laps, and then practiced Tai Chi and checked the books memorized on the first day.

This kind of militarized management, private school-style learning, has become a joke in the mouths of these generals, one is a joke that Grandpa Liu's approach is too rigid, too rigid, or the kind of endorsement management of the old generation, never considering the feelings of the little grandson, and imposing it on the child with the consciousness of an adult. At the same time, it is also a kind of sigh, lamenting that Grandpa Liu's little grandson is so obedient and unconcerned, exercising with his grandfather, and having to accept his grandfather's private schooling.

In the end, these jokes turned into envy, those jokes Grandpa Liu's generals, most of their grandsons have become gentlemen, but the jokes of Grandpa Liu, the grandson brought out turned out to be a prodigy, although this prodigy's head is full of Confucius and Mencius, a belly of three-character scriptures and hundreds of family names, before going to school was taken by experts, mental arithmetic is even faster than those experts, the reputation of the prodigy is transmitted in these police cars, and no longer hear ridicule, but all praise Grandpa Liu's astonishing military management, actually managed a little prodigy. will no longer laugh at Grandpa Liu, and let the children memorize the way of Confucius and Mencius, but also learn from Grandpa Liu, and let those half-old children memorize the disciple rules, although they are all endorsements, Grandpa Liu recited a little prodigy, and their children endorsed the books, and the grandparents and grandchildren were angry.

In this army compound, the legendary stories of Grandpa Liu and Liu Jiaqi, the grandchildren, can tell a lot of them, the voice of envy and admiration are focused on this old and young, Grandpa Liu is a persistent person, whether it is a joke or a legend, no matter what kind of gaze, every morning out of exercise, playing Tai Chi is his own old routine, watching his grandson run, playing Tai Chi to check the endorsement, is also the education method invented by his grandfather, unchanged, has not insisted on Liu Jiaqi to go to school. After going to school, I no longer check the endorsement, get up early to exercise, run 10 laps around the playground, and then play a set of Tai Chi, this content is eternal.

This is also different from other generals, that is, Grandpa Liu has been on the playground, many old generals have been lying in hospital beds, for decades, the old generals are getting fewer and fewer, and Grandpa Liu's pace on the playground is still so firm, but the little grandson behind him is getting taller and taller, longer and stronger, and now he is no longer the legendary little prodigy, but in the primary school students, the magical story that came out, the national Olympic gold medalist for three consecutive years.

None of the old generals are on par with Grandpa Liu, because there is no little prodigy behind them, and there are no gold medalists in the Olympiad national competitions for primary school students, only Grandpa Liu is still running with his waist straightened in the compound, and he is still so serious about playing Tai Chi overnight, and the little grandson next to him has become a teenager, his figure is becoming more and more like Grandpa Liu, he is taller, his figure is becoming more and more burly, and everyone's eyes have become envious.

I envy Grandpa Liu for having a good body, decades have passed, other people's backs are hunched, only Grandpa Liu's body is still so straight, his chest is still so high, he still walks so hard, and he is still like that when he plays Tai Chi, all that has changed is that Grandpa Liu's hair has changed from gray to white.

In this compound, there are two generations of legends, the legend of Grandpa Liu is that his body is getting harder and harder, and the legend of his grandson is that Liu Jiaqi has changed from the gold medalist of the National Mathematics Olympiad in primary school to the gold medalist of the Mathematics Olympiad in middle school.

After going to junior high school, Liu Jiaqi's all-round development momentum is still unabated, in addition to the first place in the whole class and grade of mathematics, physics and chemistry, the results of Chinese and composition are always the first, especially the composition, several proposition essays, have become your middle school version of the Chinese newspaper published in the model text, the school and teachers are to the people of the whole country to the giant panda, so to protect this treasure, because he exists in this school, this school can be unique in the city's schools, you can have a gold medal in the National Mathematics Olympiad, It can set an example for all students.

What Jiang Feifei remembers most is the scene when Liu Jiaqi was selected.

On the eve of the end of the second grade of junior high school, it was a sunny morning, the time of recess exercises, all the classes were concentrated on the school playground, after the broadcast of the broadcast gymnastics, the principal and the director of the teaching office walked on the rostrum with a loud voice, a joyful report, everyone has a good news, Liu Jiaqi, a student in the first class of the third junior high school, because he won the gold medal in the National Mathematical Olympiad for three consecutive years, was admitted to the junior class of China University of Science and Technology. For a while, there was thunderous applause inside and outside the school, and Liu Jiaqi was invited to the rostrum by the principal, and read a letter to all teachers and students in a children's voice that had not completely changed its voice.

Jiang Feifei looked at this classmate who grew up together in the audience, and after hearing this good news, her heart was completely different from others.

First of all, envy, Liu Jiaqi, who has always been the first in the class since she was a child, will always be above Jiang Feifei in her studies, no matter how hard she works, there will be a Liu Jiaqi in front of her, and it is also predictable that he has today's results, he was admitted to the university at the age of 14, which is his consistent performance, and his academic performance has been exchanged, which is really enviable.

Then there is pride, Jiang Feifei is proud to have such an outstanding classmate, she grew up in a yard from childhood to adulthood, she has been in a class since kindergarten, she has to get along with each other day and night, and her classmates get along very well together, and Liu Jiaqi is different from other boys, she has special respect for herself and special support, just because of his support, no one has ever shaken her position as class leader since she was a child, how can you not be proud of having such a classmate?

But my heart is also a little sour, the teenagers who grew up together since childhood, and the classmates who studied in the same class at the same time, are now going to separate, and the ten years of studying together, how many friendships and classmates have been accumulated, classmates, and now they are leaving, how can they not be nostalgic on the occasion of separation? I am indeed a little reluctant in my heart, but people have a better future, what should be sent is wishes, blessings, and no matter how reluctant I am, I have to separate.

In such a reluctant relationship, Liu Jiaqi packed up, in the year when Jiang Feifei was about to enter the third year of junior high school, Liu Jiaqi left the military compound and went to school at China University of Science and Technology in Hefei, and since then the two have lost contact, one goes to college in Hefei and the other goes to high school in Beijing. As Grandpa Liu's family moved to the dry rest house in Xishan, they could no longer hear news from Liu Jiaqi, and their childhood sweethearts went their separate ways.

After the college entrance examination, in the days of waiting for the admission notice, at the reunion of junior high school classmates, Liu Jiaqi appeared in Jiang Feifei's sight again.

The curiosity of not seeing each other for a few years attracted Jiang Feifei and Liu Jiaqi to each other, and during the conversation, Jiang Feifei knew that Liu Jiaqi had graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China, and her undergraduate graduation thesis was a thesis on quantum science, and the tutor was a famous professor of the University of Science and Technology, the father of quantum.

I haven't seen him for four years, the young man who was young has now grown into a tall young man, Liu Jiaqi also heard from other classmates that Jiang Feifei was admitted to the Chinese Department of Yenching University with excellent results, which is the highest liberal arts institution in the country, and the students who can enter Yenching University to study are also dragons and phoenixes.

Liu Jiaqi walked through the many classmates, walked up to Jiang Feifei, and greeted him generously, "Jiang Feifei, don't you know your old classmates?" I'm Liu Jiaqi, I haven't seen you for a few years, but the longer I get, the more beautiful I become. ”

Liu Jiaqi faced this childhood sweetheart who grew up together, and looked at him out of the corner of his eye, the most obvious change is that he has grown taller, he has grown stronger, and he is more handsome than before, "How dare I not know you?" Isn't this a legendary little prodigy? Graduated from the junior class, right? Where do you get your PhD? ”

Liu Jiaqi heard the thorn in Jiang Feifei's words, and still said honestly, "I haven't seen you for a few years, it seems that your pride has not decreased at all, you are all old classmates for so many years, why do you want to be sarcastic?" USTC has indeed graduated this year, and now I am back in Beijing, ready to go to Tsinghua University for a master's and doctoral degree, congratulations on your admission to Yenching University, you can be regarded as a dream come true. ”

The sincere blessings made Jiang Feifei a little embarrassed, "Liu Jiaqi, we just went to college, you have graduated from college, and this time you entered Tsinghua University, it is really a good thing, I also congratulate you, what major did you study at Tsinghua University?" Can you tell us a thing or two? ”

Liu Jiaqi said generously, "Thank you for your proud princess care, I wrote a thesis on quantum science when I graduated from undergraduate, after the recommendation of my supervisor, I went to Tsinghua University or studied quantum science, I heard that you are the Chinese Department of Yenching University, that is how many people dream of entering, sincerely congratulate you." ”

Jiang Feifei was a little unhappy when she heard him say this, "When we meet, we are not just congratulations, isn't it hypocritical?" Can you talk well? I haven't seen each other for 4 years, have you learned to be polite? Isn't there anything else? ”

Liu Jiaqi still smiled generously, and then said, "Congratulations, and you were asked like a cannonball, why do you seem to be full of hostility towards me?" This is not like when you were the squad leader, someone bullied me, and you were the first to stand up to protect me, in my heart you are a heroine. ”

Jiang Feifei giggled, "You are a scholar, who dares to bully you?" Why don't I remember this scene? Let's make up stories, this method of picking up is a bit old-fashioned. ”

Liu Jiaqi didn't give an inch, and said to Jiang Feifei-for-tat, "Jiang Feifei, I think you don't eat hard and soft, you haven't seen each other for 4 years, do you want to give me a dismount as soon as you meet?" I congratulate you, you find fault, I tell you about our past, you say I make up stories, may I ask Miss, what do you want to hear? What do you want to know? I must give you unreserved advice, and I must find your favorite to hear, can you? ”

Jiang Feifei scolded in her heart, this stupid person, don't you still understand what it means? On the surface, it didn't show it, and changed his tone and said, "Liu Jiaqi, for the sake of growing up together, I don't get angry with you at all, mainly because I saw you after 4 years, and I don't know what to say." Do you have a long summer vacation too? Now that Grandpa Liu has moved to the Xishan Dry Rest House, I haven't seen his old man for a long time, is he still in good health? ”

Liu Jiaqi replied seriously, "My grandfather's health is still very good, so far there has been no interruption in the morning exercises, almost 90 people, there is basically nothing wrong with the body, the previous period of physical examination, his various indicators are better than the average young person, and my parents have also returned from the northwest, now, living with the elderly, you can take care of them normally, did your grandfather also move to the dry rest house?" Does your family still live in a small building in that compound? ”

Jiang Feifei also replied seriously, "Our family still lives in that small building, my grandfather moved to the dry rest house over there in Changxingdian, and my aunt's family lives with them, are your parents retired?" ”

Liu Jiaqi said to Jiang Feifei, "My parents were originally from the Aerospace Group, and they already had studios in Beijing, but they insisted on getting used to it on the front line, so they never returned to Beijing, and now grandpa is old, no matter how good his health is, he is also old, they are grandpa's youngest children, and their health is better than that of several brothers and sisters, so they can only take the initiative to take care of grandpa." But according to the age is about to retire, their pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, married late, and had children late, people of his age, should not be a one-child family, they gave birth to me in their nearly 40s, and they have boiled themselves into a one-child family, I really don't know what their generation thinks, maybe they are too deeply influenced by their grandfather. ”

Jiang Feifei smiled and said, "Liu Jiaqi, don't talk about your parents, are you influenced by your grandfather?" You see that you are acting like Grandpa Liu now, you are originally a college student, look at your current standing posture, walking posture, which point is not a copy of Grandpa Liu? Grandpa Liu has been strong all his life and turned a family into an army, your parents are his youngest children, and they have worked in the Great Northwest all their lives, they are really an admirable old man. ”

Liu Jiaqi said to Jiang Feifei, "Jiang Feifei, add a WeChat, we will keep in touch often in the future, the two schools are very close, and the old classmates will move around more in the future, and I really feel very lonely in these days when I leave you, especially when I lack high school learning with you, and the people who grew up with us have already been separated, I have grown up with you and studied together for the longest time, you won't dislike me, right?" ”

Jiang Feifei smiled, took out her mobile phone, and the two of them added WeChat, Jiang Feifei said, "Yes, we have been in the same class since kindergarten to junior high school, among the current junior high school classmates, the two of us are in the same class, the same school for the longest time, strengthen the connection in the future, have time to come to our house to play, Jiang Bayi still misses you." ”

Jiang Feifei's pun words, Liu Jiaqi understands it, this olive branch must be caught, Liu Jiaqi said with a smile, "How is Jiang Bayi now?" Where did I get this year? ”

Jiang Feifei replied, "My brother has been admitted to the strategic command class of the National Defense University, and now he has gone to military training, and they are enrolled in advance, so now the school has started." Do you know? His high school was not in the city, because of the relationship between the military and the people, his high school was in Mentougou, and he completely became a person in a ravine, and you will definitely laugh when you see him, the whole peasant. ”

Liu Jiaqi smiled happily when she heard Jiang Feifei say this, "Then your family is the happiest this year, both of you brothers and sisters have done so well in the exam, and your uncle and aunt must be the most beautiful." When I was a child, my uncle liked me the most, I haven't seen him for so long, is it still so elegant? I'll definitely go see him when I have time to see if he can still recognize me. ”

Jiang Feifei said with certainty, "My dad will definitely be able to know you, you are a well-known person in our yard, their old comrades-in-arms often talk about their children together, don't look at me I don't know your movements, my dad knows more about your situation than I do, when it comes to you, he can say a lot of things, it can be seen that he really likes you from the bottom of his heart among the young people of our generation, who knows that you have no conscience, you have not heard at all in the 4 years you have been in college, which makes them very disappointed." ”

Liu Jiaqi said with a sense of loss, "I really miss the days in that compound, from the beginning of my memory to the university, I grew up in that courtyard for fourteen or fifteen years, and the feelings of the people in the army compound are so sincere, and it also makes me remember it for life, find a time to go back to the compound to see those uncles and aunts, so as to save them from worrying." But what I like most about your dad is the poems he wrote, which is a rare poet in our army, and the articles he writes are also very profound, and the level is absolutely super-first-class, you are very good at liberal arts, and you must have inherited your uncle's genes in this area. ”

Seeing Liu Jiaqi talking and chewing words, Jiang Feifei really felt very happy, "I haven't seen you for 4 years, I don't know how much you have learned otherwise, if you talk about it for such a while, one thing is certain, that is, you have grown in kung fu, just now you congratulated me again and again, and now you have a strong compliment on my father, and you have honey in your mouth, right?" Why is it so appealing to speak? It's really a college graduate. ”

At this time, several other classmates came over, and the topic also changed.
