Chapter 6 The Past Is Like the Wind
I went to the commissary at the entrance of the community like a corpse and bought a pack of cigarettes.
Soon after joining the army, Lao Liu and I learned to smoke, and at that time, the training was very hard every day, and several people gathered around to smoke secretly became the only comfort.
Later, I chased my wife Deng Yafang, but she didn't like me to smoke very much, so she simply quit smoking.
For her sake, I haven't smoked for almost five years.
At this time, my heart is overflowing with unhappiness and needs an outlet.
I shivered and lit a cigarette and took a big puff, the spicy smoke rushing into my lungs and I couldn't help coughing violently.
"Young man, don't smoke if you can't smoke, why are you tossing yourself so much." The old man who bought cigarettes said.
I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes due to irritation, and showed a smile to the old man that was more ugly than crying.
The cigarettes were lit one after another, and the more I smoked, the more my brain hurt, and I didn't know what was going to happen next, or what I was supposed to do.
I can't help but think of the first time I met my wife, when I had just returned to Jiangcheng after being discharged from the army, I took my mother from my hometown to Jiangcheng to play, and when I left, I forcibly dragged my mother to the hospital for a physical examination.
Deng Yafang is a nurse at Jiangcheng No. 1 Hospital.
After I paid the fee for my mother, she came up to me, wearing a mask and revealing only a pair of large, clear and transparent eyes.
Even though I could only see her eyes, I was still attracted.
She has a very kind attitude towards the elderly, and she will think of others first in every detail.
After sending my mother back to my hometown, I can't forget Deng Yafang's clear eyes, and I think I fell in love with her at first sight.
I don't know which predecessor said that chasing girls is to be bold and thin-skinned, I think so, but I only learned to be thick-skinned.
Since then, I have been running to the hospital whenever I have time, and I am not in a hurry to find a job, and I have postponed the invitations of my comrades-in-arms, and I just want to meet her more often.
Under my stalking offensive, I got the opportunity to have dinner with her, and after that, I became her rightful boyfriend.
After becoming a boyfriend and girlfriend, I have a lot of upward motivation, and I have become serious about looking for a job, maybe this is the power of love.
In the past, I didn't think about the right match, only whether the man and the woman really love each other.
But my mother-in-law doesn't think so as to come over, I was born in a rural area, I have no background in Jiangcheng, my diploma is not high, and I don't have any skills, but I have been a big soldier for a few years.
These are very problematic in the eyes of my mother-in-law, who thinks that I can't give her daughter happiness.
After talking with Deng Yafang for a while, I had the idea of getting married, in order to express my sincerity, I took out all the retirement money, and then borrowed some from my good comrades-in-arms, and bought a house with a mortgage in the current community, and only Deng Yafang's name was written on the real estate certificate.
When I handed over the keys and real estate deeds to my mother-in-law, she glanced at her lips and finally reluctantly agreed to my marriage with my wife.
After marriage, I often secretly rejoiced that God favored me so much that I married a gentle and considerate woman who was so beautiful.
So I doted on Deng Yafang very much, and I didn't allow her to touch all the housework at home.
She complained that the working meals at the hospital were not appetizing, and the next day I would cook her favorite meals at home and bring them to her in a thermos bucket.
I don't care much about her, and I'm very willing.
What I did to my wife, everyone around me saw it in their eyes, and they all laughed at me and called me a model man in the new era.
Even my mother-in-law, who used to look at me not very well, has changed a lot about me, at least I will smile when I see me again.
