Chapter 64: Graduation is imminent
"Hello Uncle He!"
After Tong Yingwan saw Political Commissar He, she sat on the chair and raised it and said hello with a smile, which looked very familiar, and Tong Yingwan's mother turned around and went to the kitchen, and said that Lao He was here while bringing out a pair of dishes and chopsticks.
"This is ???"
Political Commissar He just entered the house, and he didn't look at Li Tieguo carefully, but he was indeed the only one in the room who was an outsider, so after Political Commissar He said a few words to Tong Yingwan's father, he was just about to sit down, and when he saw the boy in front of him, he couldn't help but turn his head and ask,
"Yingying's classmates, young people, and many friends!"
Tong Yingwan said casually after following the gaze of Political Commissar He, but she didn't care too much, and she didn't even say her name, but this Political Commissar He sat on the sofa and looked at the young man not far away, frowning, as if there were some other meanings.
"What is your name, young man?"
Political Commissar He looked at it, suddenly got up and walked over and looked at Li Tieguo carefully, and then couldn't help asking,
"Li Tieguo!"
"What? Isn't it a railroad soldier? ”
After Li Tieguo finished saying his name, Political Commissar He thought about it with a pensive face, as if he was recalling something, and then asked,
"No, I'm a train driver!"
Li Tieguo's face was full of confusion, he didn't know what was going on and what this He political commissar wanted to say, and after this He political commissar finished asking tentatively, he laughed when he got Li Tieguo's answer, and then turned to Tong Yingwan's father and said that he felt that he had seen this young man somewhere,
"A few years ago, an engineer regiment of the army was transferred to the north to aid Korea, and I followed it to Dandong and stationed for a period of time, so you should also go to aid Korea!"
Political Commissar He saw that Li Tieguo and Tong Yingwan's father were a little confused, so he laughed to himself again, and then looked at Li Tieguo with an appreciative face while talking,
And Li Tieguo nodded after listening, but then he was a little puzzled,
"At that time, I went to more than 300 people, and there were so many train drivers, how did you remember me?"
"Probably because you were too young at the time, and your driver's political examination materials have also been handed in, one of the eighteen-year-old train drivers has attracted some attention from me, eighteen-year-old can drive for that big iron guy, it's not easy, and later when I was in charge of patrolling at the station, we should have met, but we didn't know each other, hahaha!"
After listening to Li Tieguo's question, Political Commissar He spoke with a simple and unpretentious face, it seemed that he had a feeling of reminiscing about the past, and Li Tieguo nodded after listening, then he seemed to be really small.
"Resist US aggression and aid Korea! That battle was not easy, but after the battle, how were the casualties in your section? ”
Political Commissar He looked at the table in front of him, his eyes were full of sighs and regrets, and he seemed to have a deep understanding of the war.
"It's quite painful, seven comrades including Wang Xianxian, Li Guangshun, and Zhang Baiyun died, and some of them were seriously injured..."
When Li Tieguo talked about this matter, his face was gloomy, his head was lowered, and he didn't want to say it, but after sighing, he also said it roughly,
"I remember you were also seriously injured and got off the transport line!"
"It's not a serious injury, it's just multiple fractures."
After listening to Li Tieguo's brief report, Political Commissar He also nodded, which seemed to be similar to what he thought, but then he looked up at Li Tieguo again, and reached out and patted him on the shoulder, as if he was comforting him,
"Just cherish the present, a brave young man like you, who can study in college like Comrade Xiao Yingying, will be a pillar of the country in the future!"
After Political Commissar He chatted a few words with Li Tieguo, the small wine cup on the table poured himself some points, and then raised it with relief while sighing, and glanced at Tong Yingwan's father who was sitting next to him, but he didn't look polite at all.
"Master Tong, let's get old, what are we going to do when we are eighteen years old?"
"What else can you do besides fighting devils? Before the liberation, the people were struggling to make a living, and it was difficult to farm! ”
"Hahaha, look at the two of us, and then look at this young man, he is also a skilled worker!"
Political Commissar He happily touched the small wine cup with Commander Tong, and asked a little sentimentally, and then Commander Tong also replied when he heard this, and sighed on his face, they have been in the army for decades.
And for Tong Yingwan at this time, she was a little shocked, she looked at Li Tieguo who was sitting in front of her, and suddenly had an indescribable reverence, just such an ordinary person, but like his father, he went to the frontline battlefield to protect his family and defend the country, it was such a boy who was squeezed by her and other students at school, but he was a soldier who had experienced a war of life and death, Li Tieguo's bravery was the courage of righteousness,
In the process of eating, Li Tieguo returned to a state of silence except for chatting with Political Commissar He just a few words, because he was not familiar with Senior Commander Tong and Political Commissar He, and the two of them were still elders, so it was even more difficult for him to take the initiative to interject or say something.
And he won't accompany the wine, so he can only stuff his head and eat simply, but he is embarrassed to eat too much, as for Master Tong, he didn't say anything more to Li Tieguo because of what Political Commissar He said, and after waiting for half an hour, Li Tieguo said that he really had to go back to school, and it would be later, except for the time used on the road, the school should be closed, and Tong Yingwan didn't stop him anymore after hearing the time and looked at the time, but personally sent him out, and then walked all the way to the gate of the security office,
"Unexpectedly, you're still a warrior, why didn't you say it before?"
Tong Yingwan stood under the street lamp near the gate, her face was warm, but there seemed to be a little squeamish in the warmth.
"No one has asked!"
After Li Tieguo touched his nose, he looked a little helpless,
"Then you take the initiative to say it yourself, what an honorable thing it is, and the school students must know that they must be happy to help you in your studies!"
"Haha, I'm not here for this!"
After listening to Tong Yingwan's words, Li Tieguo paused for a second, smiled, then turned around and waved and went directly out of the door, and Tong Yingwan, who was standing behind him, looked at the short and thin back in front of him, I don't know why, I just like it, maybe his appearance and figure are not worth mentioning in front of his personality charm, his back is so tall and majestic,
And after Tong Yingwan returned home, her father asked about Li Tieguo's future for some reason at night, if he wanted to stay here, he would help think about it, and Tong Yingwan nodded when she heard this, she also understood the specific meaning, but she also knew that it was useless for others to agree, Li Tieguo would not stay here,
Two months is also very fast, in the blink of an eye, those who were sent here have already graduated, and Li Tieguo is packing up his things and preparing to leave this place where he has stayed for two years, it is false to say that he is not nostalgic, after all, the two most youthful years have been spent here, but to be honest, except for a few places where Tong Yingwan took Li Tieguo to wander around, Li Tieguo really doesn't have a deep understanding of the city and this school, he is usually too busy, rarely moves, basically the dormitory library of the teaching building, three points and one line, Simple and ordinary, so to be precise, maybe he is nostalgic for a city, a school, because of a person,
After walking out of the dormitory, Li Tieguo had already found Tong Yingwan a few days ago, saying that he asked her to help him get some luggage on the day he went home, but in fact, he knew that this was a parting send-off.
"You don't have a lot of luggage, why did you ask me to come?"
Tong Yingwan looked at Li Tieguo carrying a big bag of books by himself, and there was nothing else after that, so she looked at Li Tieguo with a questioning face behind her back.
"You can hold this book for me, the teacher gave it to me, it's new, I don't want to mix it up with other books."
Li Tieguo raised his head and smiled warmly, his expression was begging, and Tong Yingwan took the new book in disbelief when she heard this, and then looked at it again, it has not been opened yet, it is indeed a new book.
And after that, Tong Yingwan and Li Tieguo walked all the way to the direction of the train station, and when they arrived at the place, Li Tieguo put down his luggage, took a few breaths, wiped his sweat, and looked a little tired, while Tong Yingwan stood next to him and looked at him, with no intention of wanting to help at all.
