When the spring flowers were in full bloom in the city, Li Ping had already taken off her heavy cotton clothes and changed into spring clothes, and she had almost forgotten the note in the cigarette case. This afternoon, the workshop director came to Li Ping in a hurry, and the director told her: Someone in the factory department is looking for you.

Li Ping didn't know who would go to the factory to find her, she was not familiar with the factory, when she went to work in the factory, she remembered going to the factory once, her father took her there, and went through the procedures for entering the factory, since then, she has never had the opportunity to walk into the factory, the concept of the factory is the place where the leader works in her mind, and ordinary people have no chance to go there.

The workshop director told her that someone was looking for her in the factory, and she glanced at the director suspiciously, and the director also looked at her strangely. She walked to the factory in a daze, and someone waited at the door to take her all the way to the conference room of the factory. Pushing open the door of the conference room, she saw two factory leaders accompanying a soldier, smoking and talking at the same time, and the cigarette she smoked was naturally "Spring Festival" cigarettes. When the factory leader saw her come in, he smiled and asked: Are you Li Ping from the packaging workshop? She nodded. The factory leader turned around and shook hands with the PLA and said: Comrade Wu, the person is here, let's go first, you talk, something to call us.

The two factory leaders smiled meaningfully, glanced at Li Ping and left. Only the PLA and Li Ping were left in the empty conference room. She didn't have the energy to look at the People's Liberation Army in front of her until this time, this Comrade Wu was of medium height, he was almost middle-aged, his body was slightly blessed, but his face was full of red light, and he was looking at her with a smile. She didn't know what the soldier was looking for her, and she looked at him in confusion and awe. After a while, Comrade Wu said: My name is Wu Tianliang, I am from Unit 81394, and you are Li Ping from the packaging workshop?

She nodded at Comrade Wu again.

Comrade Wu picked up a "Spring Festival" cigarette from the table, lit it unhurriedly, squinted his eyes and walked around her, and then walked around, looking at her in detail as he walked, and then said: Good, good, really good. My name is Wu Tianliang.

Later, Comrade Wu Tianliang sat on a chair, and before sitting down, he pulled a chair closest to her and said, "Comrade Li Ping, you can sit down too."

When she saw Wu Tianliang sit down, she also hesitated to sit down, she still didn't know what kind of entanglement she would have with Comrade Wu in front of her, she looked at Comrade Wu in front of her in confusion and confusion. Comrade Wu didn't smile this time, but put on a straight face, took out a box of "Spring Festival" cigarettes in a serious manner, took out a note from the cigarette case, pushed the cigarette box and the note in front of her, and said: You wrote it, right?

Li Ping didn't come to her senses until this time, and the moment she saw the note, she almost screamed, she covered her mouth and looked at Comrade Wu with wide eyes. Her mind was suddenly empty, and for a moment she lost her thinking and consciousness, and she only looked at her relatives in front of her, Comrade Wu Tianliang, Comrade Wu Tianliang.

Wu Tianliang stood up, left the chair, and paced two steps with his hands behind his back, looking very chief. Wu Tianliang said: Here's the thing, I got this box of cigarettes, I read the meaning on the note, I don't have a wife now, two years ago my wife went back to her hometown to visit relatives and had a car accident, well, that's it. I am now the director of the political department of Unit 81394, a deputy regimental cadre, with a monthly salary of a little more than 80 yuan, and our unit is in Hebei. Oh, I'm just 40 years old, well, that's a little older than you, oh, you see this?

Wu Tianliang said in one breath, she had woken up from the initial shock, and she listened to Wu Tianliang's resume word for word. She didn't know how to feel for a while, shy, dazed, helpless, panicked, etc., it seemed that she had any taste. She didn't know what to say for a while, and still looked at Wu Tianliang so puzzled.

Wu Tianliang paced two more steps, glanced at her and said: Am I different from the person you imagined? If you say it, it's okay, this time I should come to Changchun to see my comrades-in-arms. I have a comrade-in-arms in Changchun, well, you say, it's fine.

She still didn't know what to say, this time she didn't look at Wu Tianliang, and looked at her toes. Speaking from the heart, since she wrote her wishes into the cigarette case, she has thought about everything about the other party, maybe older, maybe taller or shorter, no matter how you think about it, the person's appearance is very abstract, like a dream scene. Wu Tianliang stood in front of her, the person was specific at once, the specific person had to be this person, about status, she had thought about it before, but she didn't dare to think that it would be the head of the People's Liberation Army, a deputy regimental cadre, earning more than 80 yuan a month, when Wu Tianliang introduced himself just now, she heard it carefully. The monthly salary of more than 80 yuan is equivalent to the sum of her four months' salary, and her father has been working until retirement, only a little more than 40 per month, what a huge amount of salary of more than 80 yuan, she didn't even think about it before, all this is undoubtedly tempting her, and her original motive for writing that note was to let the god of fate take her away from real life. Wu Tianliang's troops were in Hebei, and if he agreed to marry him, then he would leave home and the cigarette factory, and his ideals would be realized.

Li Ping was thinking aimlessly, and Wu Tianliang spoke again. Wu Tianliang said: Xiao Li, I came to you today, I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to know you, I didn't have any hope, didn't I, just when I traveled to Changchun once, to see my comrades-in-arms, isn't it?

Wu Tianliang laughed after speaking.

Li Ping raised her head at this time, and there was already more content in her eyes, and the content was written as a preliminary recognition of Wu Tianliang.

Wu Tianliang seemed to have insight into Li Ping's psychology at this moment, so he said: Xiao Li, I saw you for the first time, and I was satisfied with you, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful, which is very good. What about me, you may not be able to make up your mind for a while, it doesn't matter, you can discuss with the leader, your parents, I can live in Changchun for three days, I live in the guest house of the army, in room 201, what can I go there to find me, ah-

Wu Tianliang finished speaking and was ready to leave, he put away the box of "Yingchun" brand cigarettes, together with her note, and said while collecting it: I will keep this as a souvenir, your factory produces so many cigarettes in one day, and so many people smoke, but this box of cigarettes was actually smoked by me, do you say this is fate, haha-

Wu Tianliang stretched out his hand after speaking, which meant that he wanted to say goodbye to her, she did not have the habit of shaking hands with others, especially with the opposite sex, but Wu Tianliang had already stretched out her hand, she stretched out her hand stiffly, she felt that Wu Tianliang's hand was very big and warm, Wu Tianliang felt that her hand was so delicate and cold.

The instant handshake ended, and Wu Tianliang said again: I am in room 201 of the military guest house on Broad Street. Ah, I'm gone.

Wu Tianliang left after speaking, very chief, and very manly. After a while, she heard the sound of the car starting downstairs, and she saw Wu Tianliang get into a military jeep and leave through the window. As soon as she turned back from the window, the door to the conference room was pushed open, and the factory director and secretary came in. Their attitude towards Li Ping suddenly became friendly and close. The factory director asked: Xiao Li, how did you get in touch with the head of the army?

The secretary asked: Xiao Li, is the head of the army going to take you to be a soldier?

Li Ping knew from the leader's questioning that Wu Tianliang did not tell the truth to the leader, and Li Ping was very satisfied with this. She smiled at the two leaders and didn't say anything.

The secretary also said: If the chief comes to pick up the staff, you can tell him and bring a few more people, this is the glory of our cigarette factory.

Li Ping finally walked out of the factory conference room under the warm gaze of the factory leaders.

Soon, the news that Li Ping was interviewed by the head of the army spread, and Li Ping became the hottest topic in the cigarette factory in those two days. Some people speculated that the head of the army took a fancy to Li Ping and wanted to bring her to the army to be a soldier.

Some people also said: It is the central army that selects female soldiers, and these female soldiers have to serve as waiters for the central leadership.

……

No matter what is said, there is only one central issue, that is, Li Ping's good luck is coming, and he may suddenly leave the smoky cigarette factory and go to the army. In those two days, Li Ping was also like a dream, sometimes in the clouds and sometimes in the fog.

She was noncommittal to all versions of the legend, with a smile on her face, and her heart was already full of joy. As soon as Wu Tianliang left, her heart fell to the ground, and at that moment she made up her mind to marry Wu Tianliang. Wu Tianliang is a little older than her, and he has died of his wife, but what is this, Wu Tianliang is the chief, earning a salary of more than 80 yuan a month, his troops are in Hebei, Hebei is so close to Beijing, maybe Wu Tianliang's troops are the central troops. Li Ping didn't rush to tell her parents, she hadn't figured out what to say yet.
