Chapter Ninety-Eight: Rowling
Treat rice bowls as steaks and Chinese food as Western food.
Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan enjoyed this special dinner, not to mention that the rice bowl here was really good, especially the beef was very authentic, which actually made Song Yuanchao eat a little phulta.
Maybe this master chef used to fry steak before, otherwise how could it smell like this? Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan chatted while eating, and from time to time Song Yuanchao also told a joke, which made Lin Yan very happy.
Just when they were eating happily, a few young people came in at the door, Song Yuanchao's position was facing away from the direction of the gate, and Lin Yan was facing it, she subconsciously glanced over there, and when she saw one of them, her face was a little surprised, she stood up and raised her hand and waved at the door.
"Swallow! Why are you here? ”
A girl about the same age as Lin Yan saw Lin Yan, ran over without saying a word, and took Lin Yan's hand in surprise: "Long time no see, our college student." ”
This girl was wearing a white shirt, a pleated skirt with floral flowers underneath, her long hair was slightly curly, it seemed to be permed, her face was slightly put on light makeup, and she wore some lipstick, and the whole looked much more foreign than ordinary girls of this era.
"Swallow, ...... this?" When she noticed Song Yuanchao, who was with Lin Yan, the girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly asked Lin Yan.
"My object, Song Yuanchao." Lin Yan introduced generously, and at the same time said to Song Yuanchao: "This is Rowling, a good friend of mine who grew up together. ”
"Hello Rowling, I'm Song Yuanchao." Song Yuanchao greeted Luo Lin generously, he had heard of Luo Lin's name, Luo Lin was Lin Yan's hair child, and the two of them used to live in the same compound and grew up together.
But later, because of the changes in their respective families, Lin Yan's parents were decentralized, and she moved to live with Gao Da's mother's house, Rowling's family was slightly better than Lin Yan's, and her parents sent her to the army through old relationships, and later because Rowling had a good voice, she was transferred to the art troupe.
Rowling looked Song Yuanchao up and down, with an unusual look in her eyes, and then leaned into Lin Yan's ear and whispered that she didn't know what to ask, Lin Yan's little face suddenly turned red, and she clenched her fist and hit Rowling.
"Hehe, people have brought it out generously, and they are still shy." Rowling joked with a smile, and then said to Song Yuanchao with a straight face: "Song Yuanchao, it's not so easy to be the object of our swallows, you have to remember, if I know that you will bully our swallows in the future, I will definitely not let you go!" ”
"Don't worry, I won't give you such a chance." Song Yuanchao replied with a smile, this attitude of not being arrogant or humble made Rowling look at Song Yuanchao a little, she didn't expect her hair to have such an object, she heard of it for the first time today.
Rowling didn't care about her companions, she sat down directly next to Lin Yan, and the two of them, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, chatted warmly.
"Linzi, aren't you in the Art Troupe of the Military Region? Why did you come back all of a sudden? ”
"It's a little bit of a matter to come back, I'll leave tomorrow, and I won't come to Lao Mo to sit down before leaving." Rowling's expression was a little touching, and she glanced around and sighed: "Lao Mo is still the same Lao Mo, but unfortunately I can't eat Western food again, and I don't know if I will have this opportunity to ...... in the future." ”
"What's wrong? Do you also ...... South? Lin Yan suddenly thought of something and asked eagerly.
Luo Lin nodded silently, glanced at Song Yuanchao opposite, but did not continue, and asked Lin Yan: "Have your eldest brother and second brother been in contact recently?" Is there any news? ”
Lin Yan shook her head, her expression a little gloomy.
Luo Lin gently shook Lin Yan's hand and comforted: "No news may be good news, besides, the eldest brother of Jianhang is the commander of the regiment, and the second brother of Yuhang is not bad, I remember the battalion commander who was just mentioned last year, no matter how you are a cadre, it is better than an ordinary soldier, they will be fine." ”
Lin Yan squeezed out a smile, and at the same time said to Rowling worriedly: "You have to be careful when you go over there, take care." ”
"I'll be fine, we're going to condolence and not to the front line, and I'll take care of myself, don't forget that when we were young, we went to shoot targets, and the average veteran is not as good at marksmanship as me." Rowling said proudly.
Although they said it implicitly, Song Yuanchao understood it from a few words.
It turned out that Lin Yan's two elder brothers' troops had already gone south, and even Lin Yan didn't know what the current situation was. Today, Rowling is here to say goodbye before leaving, and to leave a mark on her life with this place that has left a deep memory. Although Rowling said it very easily, and she was only an actor in the art troupe, no one knew about the viciousness once she went south, and it was for this reason that Rowling appeared here.
This was a brutal war, and it was also a big war faced by the country in the early days of reform and opening up.
As a person who has come over, Song Yuanchao certainly knows the beginning and end of this war and the result, and at the same time knows what this war means to today's soldiers.
But Song Yuanchao had never felt that this war was so close to him as he was today, especially when he knew for the first time that Lin Yan's two elder brothers were also involved in this war and were on the front line.
For a while, Song Yuanchao didn't know what to say, and it was inconvenient for him to say this on this occasion, so he could only sit silently and watch Lin Yan and Luo Lin talk.
"...... with you today?"
"Oh, they're all comrades-in-arms of our art troupe." Rowling glanced not far away.
"Won't you sit here ......?" Lin Yan followed her gaze and saw that Rowling's comrades-in-arms at the table over there were looking at them, smiling and nodding politely to them.
"It's okay, we're here to eat today, take a look at Lao Mo by the way, and we'll leave after dinner, and we'll have some time to stay together later, but it's you, it's been a long time, I'll do the math, ouch, the last time we met was when you just came back to report, right?"
"Yes, time flies so fast, more than a year has passed in a blink of an eye." Lin Yan sighed with emotion, thinking that Rowling was about to leave again, and she didn't know when the next time they met, maybe ...... Thinking of this, Lin Yan was a little afraid to imagine it, she showed a worried look, but soon this expression was replaced by a smile.
They are sad, especially the difference that can't know the future outcome, but at this time, Lin Yan doesn't want her feelings to affect Rowling, she hopes that Rowling will leave safely and come back safely, just like what she has been expecting for her two brothers these days.
Don't talk about those things that will make people feel bad, Lin Yan changed the topic and chatted with Rowling, Song Yuanchao didn't intervene on the side, and sat silently and listened quietly with a smile.
I don't know how long we chatted, Lin Yan suddenly said: "Linzi, I and the Aid Dynasty came to invite you today, just to see you off and your comrades-in-arms." ”
"Okay, I like to fight local tyrants the most, hehe, but it's a pity that you're late now." Rowling smiled and said, "You better wait for me to come back and then invite, today we have the goal of fighting local tyrants, someone invites." ”
"Who? Are you comrades-in-arms? ”
"Of course not, it's ......." Rowling was just about to speak, when the words came to her lips, she saw a person coming in at the door, and immediately stretched out her hand and pointed over there: "Look! No, the local tyrant is here! ”
The young man who had come in stopped at the door, looked around, and soon saw Rowling, who was waving at him.
Seeing Rowling, the young man walked towards Rowling quickly, and when he got closer and saw Lin Yan sitting next to Rowling, he was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Sister, Yanzi, how did you meet here?" That's a coincidence...... ”
Before he finished speaking, at this time, the young man suddenly saw Song Yuanchao, who had just turned his back to him, he was subconsciously stunned, and then his face showed an extremely surprised expression.
"Why are you here?"
The two spoke in unison.
