Not long after Zhao Yingjie sat down, a waiter in the café immediately walked over and greeted him with a smile: "Sir, what do you drink?" ”

He wanted a cup of coffee, but the other party hadn't arrived yet, so it seemed that he had asked for it in advance. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info seems a little impolite.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yingjie had no choice but to say apologetically: "I still have a friend, let's order it when she arrives!" Bring me a glass of water first. ”

"Yes, sir." The waiter smiled and nodded again. He turned and left.

Not long after, the waiter brought a glass of boiled water to Zhao Yingjie's table, and he said, "Thank you." ”

After the waiter left, he raised his wrist again and looked at his watch, and found that there was only one minute left before ten o'clock in the morning, and he couldn't help but look at the entrance of the café hall, but when he looked up, no one came in at the door of the café.

He took a sip of boiled water and muttered softly, "I'm not late, she's late." ”

It wasn't until ten o'clock in the morning that Zhao Yingjie confirmed that the other party was really late. But the other party is a lady, he can only wait patiently, maybe the other party has something to delay.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yingjie had no choice but to continue to wait, while waiting. From time to time, I also looked at the pairs of people in the hall with the corner of my eye, some talking and laughing, but the café was relatively quiet.

Just when Zhao Yingjie was distracted, he raised his wrist again to look at his watch, and was surprised to find that five minutes had passed unconsciously. Still didn't see the appearance of the blind date, Zhao Yingjie suddenly couldn't sit still, and his mind was fantasizing about the other party's various reasons for being late.

It wasn't until the hands of the watch reached ten o'clock in the morning that he finally couldn't hold it anymore, and was about to take out his mobile phone to call his aunt to ask, but as soon as he took out his mobile phone, the mobile phone suddenly rang, and he looked down to take a closer look, and the call was from his aunt.

Seeing this call, he guessed in his heart that it should be related to a blind date.

So, he quickly answered the phone: "Hey! Sister-in-law! ”

As soon as he shouted, his aunt said softly on the other end of the phone: "Yingjie! Just now, Ah Lian called and said that something was delayed. Makes you wait at the café for a while. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yingjie breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it turned out that the other party was really in trouble, but from the mouth of his aunt, he seemed to know the other party's name.

"Ah Lian?" He read it softly.

At this time, the aunt continued to say on the phone: "Yingjie! Don't worry, you order something to drink first, Ah Lian should be over soon. ”

"Okay, auntie." Zhao Yingjie was very obedient.

Speaking of this, the other party hung up the phone, and Zhao Yingjie could only continue to wait patiently in the café with all kinds of boredom.

After about five minutes, Zhao Yingjie found that he was always sitting, and he was indeed a little embarrassed, so he had to call the waiter and order a cup of coffee for himself.

Until the coffee was served, more than twenty minutes had passed since ten o'clock in the morning, and the figure named Ah Lian was still missing in the café, but the men and women who had been on a blind date before in the café gradually left, leaving him alone to continue to wait in the café.

When the hands of the watch reached 10:30 in the morning, Zhao Yingjie's mobile phone rang again, he took out his mobile phone and saw that the call was still from his aunt, he couldn't wait any longer, and immediately answered the call.

"Hey! Sister-in-law! ”

The aunt said apologetically on the phone again: "Yingjie! I'm afraid I won't be able to go today. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yingjie was very surprised and asked in surprise: "What?" Can't come? ”

The aunt explained on the phone: "Yingjie! Listen to me, there seems to be something wrong with Ah Lian's unit, and she is in a hurry to go back, as if something happened to the child in her class, and the situation is a bit urgent, so she rushed back in time. ”

When Zhao Yingjie heard this, he didn't expect that he had waited here for nearly half an hour, this god would really joke with him, but this also indirectly helped him a lot, no need to go on a blind date anymore, and he can go home directly now.

Thinking of this, he exhaled deeply, and said in his heart that when he went home, he finally had a satisfactory explanation for his mother.

So, he said righteously on the phone: "That's it! It's okay, I can understand, work is important, and the blind date will be talked about another day. ”

The aunt followed Ying He and said, "Well, I will arrange for you to meet again." ”

"Auntie, I know, let's talk about this later!" Zhao Yingjie responded.

"Okay, I'll call your mother when the time comes." The aunt admonished on the phone.

"Hmm." Speaking of which, Zhao Yingjie hung up the phone, and waved his hand to call the waiter of the café, after checking out, he left Xueshan Cafe, made a call to Xiang Minghao, and found that this kid was still sleeping in bed, it seems that he also drank a lot of wine last night, Zhao Yingjie learned of this situation, and returned to the hotel, called Xiang Minghao from the bed, and stayed up until noon, the two of them had a simple meal in the county, and then took the bus back to the town.

In the afternoon, Zhao Yingjie returned to his hometown, and as soon as he entered the house, his mother wearing an apron immediately came over and asked expectantly: "Son!" How's it going today? ”

Seeing her smiling mother, Zhao Yingjie knew that once she told her situation, she would definitely be a little lost, in fact, in her heart, she wished that today's blind date would be a complete success, and the next step would definitely be to get married, and then give her a grandson, even if everything was fine.

In fact, Zhao Yingjie also wants to fulfill his mother's wish, but he really doesn't want to get married at this time, because his love life is completely in a mess, and after he gradually comes out of Lu Wei's emotional shadow, he will start a new relationship.

Therefore, under his mother's questioning, he couldn't help but sigh and didn't say a word.

Seeing this, the smile on my cheeks froze instantly, and she frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" Having a bad chat? ”

Zhao Yingjie vetoed: "No." ”

"What's that?" Mom asked.

Zhao Yingjie had no choice but to say truthfully: "The other party seems to have been delayed by something temporary, so he didn't come." ”

"Didn't come?" Mom's brows furrowed even deeper, and she didn't believe what Zhao Yingjie said at the moment, and always felt that he was joking.

"Hmm." Zhao Yingjie nodded affirmatively.

The old mother said questioningly: "How is it possible? Didn't your aunt contact the other party before? ”

Zhao Yingjie responded: "I heard that there was an accident at work, so she rushed back." ”

The old mother nodded thoughtfully, she seemed to know that Zhao Yingjie couldn't lie about such a thing, and she also believed what Zhao Yingjie said, but then said: "What is the specific situation when I call your aunt." ”

"You fight!" After speaking, Zhao Yingjie glanced at his living room again, but he didn't see his father, so he asked, "Mom, where is my dad?" "Remember the formation.

"Oh, he's gone to town to buy something, and he'll be back in a minute." After saying that, my mother had already turned around and walked into the bedroom, as if she was going to get her mobile phone.

Not long after, Zhao Yingjie heard his mother calling his aunt in the living room.

Zhao Yingjie, who was bored, had no choice but to lean on the sofa, turned on the TV, and randomly adjusted a few stations to take a look, thinking about how to tell his mother about going to the army to be a soldier.

After thinking about it, he didn't find the right way.

However, seeing that the time for conscription was approaching, he had to leave Wan'an tomorrow and return to Jianghai, and after a simple pack in Jianghai, he went directly to Kyoto, and the time became more and more cramped.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yingjie exhaled deeply, and seemed to have made up his mind to tell his mother about going to the army.

At this time, my mother happened to finish calling my aunt and walked out of the bedroom, and when she saw Zhao Yingjie, she said directly: "Yingjie! Your aunt said that you will make an appointment for another day about the blind date, and your aunt will call me at that time. ”

Zhao Yingjie had lost interest in the blind date, and he tried to interrupt: "Mom, I have something to tell you." ”

When my mother heard this, she immediately became curious, and while walking towards Zhao Yingjie, she asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Seeing this, Zhao Yingjie gestured and said, "Mom, you come and sit first." ”

According to Zhao Yingjie's intentions, his mother sat down on the sofa opposite him, but when his mother saw Zhao Yingjie's serious expression, she asked a little puzzled, "What's the matter?" So serious? ”

Zhao Yingjie paused for a moment, but still mustered up his courage and said, "Mom, there is something I have to tell you." ”

"What's the matter, you say! Do you want to kill your mother? "Mom can't seem to wait.

Zhao Yingjie said truthfully: "Mom, in fact, I went back to my hometown this time to say goodbye to you and Dad. ”

When my mother heard this, her brows furrowed even deeper, "Farewell? Say goodbye? ”

Zhao Yingjie tried to say, "I'm going to Kyoto next week." ”

"What are you doing in Kyoto?" Mom became even more curious.

Zhao Yingjie really didn't know how to say the next words, the words came to his mouth several times, he couldn't say it, and his speech became stammering.

"I ...... I'm going to ......."

When my mother saw Zhao Yingjie talking, she felt a little uneasy, because she vaguely felt that this was definitely not a good thing, from childhood to adulthood, as long as Zhao Yingjie became stuttering when he spoke, he must have caused some trouble, or it would be an accident for her.

So, she asked, "Yingjie, what do you want to tell your mother?" ”

Zhao Yingjie took a deep breath and finally blurted out what he wanted to say: "Mom, I'm going to be a soldier." ”

"What? Soldier? The corners of my mother's mouth widened and she looked at Zhao Yingjie in front of her with a frightened expression.

Seeing his mother's expression, Zhao Yingjie didn't expect her to have such a big reaction, so he nodded stubbornly and responded, "Well." ”

My mother was stunned for a moment before asking, "Okay, why do you suddenly want to be a soldier?" Aren't you already working at a hotel? ”

Zhao Yingjie said truthfully: "Mom, I have quit my job in the hotel. ”

"What?" Mom's expression was even more frightened, she didn't expect Zhao Yingjie to do such an earth-shattering thing, and finally listened to him settle down.

She was surprised, and asked suspiciously, "Yingjie, didn't you do a good job in the hotel?" Why did you quit your job? ”

Regarding the specific matter, Zhao Yingjie naturally didn't tell his mother, but just explained: "Mom, I can't say a word or two about things at work, but someone has rehabilitated me when I was expelled from the police academy before, and this time I was specially given a chance to go to the army as a special soldier." ”

Hearing this, the expression on my mother's face was gloomy, and she said in a low voice: "Yingjie, when you were in high school, you suddenly told me that you were going to take the police academy, and my mother was very opposed, you should know why my mother objected, when I was young, I had lost your sister, I don't want to lose you again, if you go to the army, what are the three long and two short, how do you still let your mother live, since your sister's accident, your mother's time, do you know how to survive?" I wash my face with tears every day, as long as I think of your sister every time, my heart is more uncomfortable than death, I don't want the old drama to be repeated, do you understand? ”

In fact, Zhao Yingjie knows very well that the death of her sister has caused a big shadow in her mother's heart, so she is very afraid of her own accident now.

Thinking of this, he nodded by default and said with great understanding: "Mom, I know." ”

As she spoke, the corners of my mother's eyes were already a little moist, she secretly wiped her tears, and said meaningfully: "Yingjie! I know that your dream since childhood is to be a soldier, it's not that your mother doesn't support you, but you also have to think about your mother, I don't want to lose you, you are my courage to live. ”

Hearing what his mother said, Zhao Yingjie suddenly felt that he was an unfilial son, and the corners of his eyes were slightly moist, nodded and said, "Mom, I know what you said, it's just ......"

When it comes to this "just", Zhao Yingjie doesn't know how to continue.

Being a soldier is indeed his dream since childhood, and it is also because he has this dream that he will continue to move forward on this road, otherwise people will be confused all day long about the lost goal behind him, and he doesn't want to be a security guard in the hotel for a lifetime, suffering from the eyes of others, and Jianghai This place has become Zhao Yingjie's sad place, he doesn't want to stay here anymore, maybe a change of environment will change his new life.

But how could he tell his mother these words!

Seeing that Zhao Yingjie said this, Zhao's mother didn't continue, and continued to interrupt: "Yingjie! Please forgive your mother's selfishness. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yingjie immediately softened, and immediately nodded and said, "Mom, okay, I won't go to the army." ”

Seeing this, Zhao's mother could also see from Zhao Yingjie's expression that he did not make this decision willingly, perhaps because of his influence on him.

As soon as the two of them said this, a mobile phone rang suddenly from the bedroom.

Mother Zhao retreated, quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "I'll go and see who called." ”

In this way, Zhao's mother turned around and went to the bedroom, Zhao Yingjie leaned on the sofa in the living room, his whole body was paralyzed, and he agreed to his mother's request for a while, but Xu Changwei how to explain it, he didn't know what to do, Xu Changwei is a pivotal person, he can help him rehabilitate, and also gave him such a good opportunity, if he doesn't cherish it, it will be a pity, and it will waste a piece of kindness from others.

Thinking of this, the depressed Zhao Yingjie couldn't help but light a cigarette and smoke it one after another.

After smoking less than half of the cigarette, Zhao's mother walked out of the bedroom, and when she saw Zhao Yingjie again, she said lovingly: "Yingjie! I'll go out on the street and get something, and you can watch TV at home! ”

"Okay, Mom." Zhao Yingjie responded obediently.

Mom changed her clothes and left the house, leaving Zhao Yingjie alone at home.

He smoked a cigarette in annoyance, until the cigarette burned out, then took out his mobile phone, flipped through Xu Wanru's mobile phone number in the mobile phone call book, and was about to call, he stopped again, knowing that once he made this call, it would be equivalent to pulling the bow and not turning back, and he had to think twice.

After hesitating for a long time, he suddenly heard the sound of the engine of another car in front of his house, he got up and walked out of the living room, and in his yard, he saw his father's van at a glance, and then saw his father carrying something in the trunk.

Seeing this, he immediately walked over and took the initiative to say, "Dad, let me come!" ”

When Zhao's father saw Zhao Yingjie, he was a little surprised and said, "Yo! Yingjie, you're back so early? How was your conversation with the girl today? ”

I also saw a happy expression on my father's cheeks, and it seemed that my father also hoped that Zhao Yingjie could start a family as soon as possible.

Zhao Yingjie took the heavy object on his father's shoulder and responded: "Dad, the other party didn't come today because of something." ”

"Something?" Father Zhao was also curious.

Zhao Yingjie had no choice but to tell the details of today's blind date truthfully, and after listening to Zhao's father, he said with understanding: "Work is important, long live understanding." ”

Zhao Yingjie followed Ying He and said: "Yes! ”

Zhao Yingjie talked to his father while carrying a heavy load, and walked to his backyard, after Zhao Yingjie put down the things on his shoulder, he suddenly thought of what he had said to his mother before, and immediately said to his father: "By the way, Dad, I won't go to the army." ”

When Father Zhao heard this, he frowned and asked in surprise, "What?" Don't go to the troops? ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yingjie nodded affirmatively.

"What's wrong?" Zhao's father asked.

When Zhao Yingjie just wanted to explain, Zhao's father seemed to see something in Zhao Yingjie's eyes, and immediately asked guessingly: "Did you tell your mother about going to the army?" ”

Zhao Yingjie nodded by default: "Yes." ”

Father Zhao immediately asked, "Did she not let you go?" ”

Zhao Yingjie still nodded, as if his father already knew everything.

After hearing this, Father Zhao nodded thoughtfully, and continued to say firmly to Zhao Yingjie: "Yingjie! What a thing! Don't worry, your mother's side, I will communicate with her well, and now being a soldier is not as dangerous as imagined, besides, if there is a soldier in our family, it will be an honor for several lifetimes! You have to cherish this opportunity, no matter what, your dad will support you, and as for your mom, I will convince her. ”

"Will it work?" Zhao Yingjie suddenly had new hopes for this matter.

"I'll convince her." Father Zhao's tone was even more firm.

Zhao Yingjie didn't say anything more, he was helping his father work all afternoon, tidying up the yard at home, until the evening, his mother returned home, and the family had a happy meal.

The next day, Zhao Yingjie slept in a daze, he was awakened by a knock on the door, and when he opened his eyes, his mother's familiar voice came from outside the door.

"O Yingjie! Wake up, don't sleep, it's almost noon. ”

Zhao Yingjie raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and found that it was almost eleven o'clock at the moment, so he got up and got out of bed, and responded: "Oh, I'm up." ”

Zhao Yingjie went downstairs, and when he walked downstairs, his mother had already prepared face wash and breakfast.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yingjie was even more moved, after so many years outside, he had such treatment at home, he suddenly felt that returning home was the real warmth, and suddenly he was a little reluctant to leave.

After Zhao Yingjie finished washing, his mother said bitterly: "Yingjie! Have some breakfast! Don't have an empty stomach, it's not good for your stomach. ”

"Hmm." After Zhao Yingjie agreed, he began to enjoy the sumptuous breakfast prepared by his mother, with the original taste of local eggs, as well as the spicy noodles cooked by his mother, all of which were Zhao Yingjie's favorite foods when he was a child.

Just as he was eating noodles, Zhao's mother, who was standing beside him, suddenly shouted: "Yingjie! ”

Zhao Yingjie raised his head when he heard the voice, and hurriedly responded: "Hmm." ”

Mother Zhao walked over, looked at Zhao Yingjie in front of her, and asked with a serious face: "Yingjie! Do you particularly want to be a soldier? ”

Zhao Yingjie didn't know why his mother suddenly asked such a question, which also made him stunned for a moment.

However, he hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

Seeing this, Mother Zhao couldn't help but sigh and said, "It seems that your father is right, this may be my life, even if I stop you, maybe something will happen in the future, it's better to let it be." ”

"Mom! I ......" Zhao Yingjie just wanted to say something, but Zhao's mother interrupted directly, "Okay, Yingjie, don't say it, Mom knows what you want to say, Mom thought about it all night last night, and finally figured it out, but after you go to the army, you must take good care of yourself and not live up to the expectations of others, including your father and your mother." ”

Zhao Yingjie didn't know what his father said to his mother, so that she had such a big change, he was a little incredible.

But in the face of his mother's instructions, he still confidently agreed: "Mom, don't worry!" I will definitely live up to the expectations that you and my father have of me. ”

Mother Zhao said again: "I've packed up all your things for you, go back to Jianghai as soon as possible!" When you arrive in Kyoto, remember to make a safe phone call with your mother. ”
