Chapter 230: The Price
Second half of 1979.
A scandal did not spread, but it can attract attention in a small circle.
Sensational for a holiday.
The scandal of the Ye family.
Falsified credit, impostor.
But fortunately, knowing that mistakes can be changed, at the last moment, Ye Guohua upheld his conscience, and despite the chance of being ruined, he returned the credit that belonged to Xiao Chunsheng to him without hesitation.
Of course, this is just Ye Guohua's wishful thinking.
Then Ye's father's operation was similar to what Ye's mother did to Ye Fang and Chen Hongjun at the beginning.
Tossing and turning in a small area of the limit.
forcibly shared a small part of Xiao Chunsheng's credit, and Ye Guohua became one of the two heroes.
From a cowardly drag, to the second hero, this wave of operations, Wei Ping'an called it the thickest skin.
Ye Guohua also gladly accepted it.
In fact, many people in the capital have talked about it privately.
Wei Ping'an is very familiar with many people in the army compound.
After Ai Muqi and the other mecha teams completed the shock and deterrence mission, they also retreated from the front line.
The two also communicated about this matter.
After all, when Ye Guohua confessed Xiao Chunsheng's military exploits, he had been used as a hero speech and propaganda for several months.
The benefits that deserve it, including promotions and salary increases, are already loaded.
After receiving the benefits, he remembered that his conscience had been condemned.
Whether it's for the purpose of whitewashing, I really feel that I owe my brother, and when I say it, it's useless.
But Wei Ping'an knows more about the big picture.
In a few months' time, we will face the sixth major disarmament.
Father Ye's wave of operations will obviously be regarded as a bird, and he will be sent away by a wave and replaced with regular clothes.
And the impact of Ye Guohua's complex thoughts is also destined to come to an end in his military career.
Even if he didn't see that his childhood hair was successful in business, he could only take off his military uniform and return to society.
Because the iron-blooded army melting pot can't tolerate a single flaw.
Ye Guohua, who has such a complicated mind, is not the kind of soldier who is selfless and dedicated to defending the country that the people need.
Early March.
He Hongling walked out of the station in military uniform.
Wei Ping'an waited at the entrance of the station early to greet her.
The two have communicated a lot on the phone.
But face-to-face contact in reality is very rare.
He Hongling is a little embarrassed, but her personality is not twisted.
As a big girl in the capital, her daring personality made her still endure her shyness, threw herself into Wei Ping'an's arms in public, and gave him a strong hug.
When she came back this time, He Hongling did not plan to go home to reunite with her mother.
She came with something else in mind.
The facts also confirmed her conjecture.
Wei Ping'an gave her a place to live in Dongsi Sanjo Hutong, and she had already prepared a place to live.
A small courtyard house in the middle of the noisy and elegant.
"I don't think you're interested in living in a building, it's always been a courtyard, a courtyard."
"Well, the courtyard is more down-to-earth, and after living in the building for a long time, I feel depressed."
He Hongling forced herself to visit this small courtyard.
I thought, maybe this is the habitat where I will return to Beijing in the future.
It's not unacceptable to be a canary in this yard once in a while.
After all, most of the time, I still chase my favorite career, and in comparison, it is already wider and more freewheeling than the few paths in front of me at the beginning.
"Xiao Chunsheng should be recovering soon."
"Can he stand up?"
Speaking of Xiao Chunsheng, He Hongling still subconsciously showed a strong interest.
After all, loving someone, or first love, is the most difficult to give up.
"Well, I was a little stimulated some time ago, and I have hope of recovery."
"Suffered ......"
"You want to ask, what stimulated Xiao Chunsheng, right?"
Wei Ping'an smiled and said disapprerovingly: "Let's take you to the kitchen, and tell you while cooking." ”
As soon as you enter the small courtyard, the west wing has been changed into a kitchen and dining room layout.
Wei Ping'an began to chop vegetables on the board, and the skilled knife work made He Hongling look at it, and he couldn't imagine that this was actually a big man with quite amazing force value and status.
It felt surprisingly approachable.
It's not so unattainable, and it's quite down-to-earth.
"During the time when Xiao Chunsheng came back, Tong Xiaomei was always by his side, also for an instrument, Tong Xiaomei desperately protected that instrument, seeing being bullied by a group of hooligans, Xiao Chunsheng actually stood up and walked a few steps, which can be regarded as a miracle......"
"The two of them ......"
"Actually, you and Xiao Chunsheng had a misunderstanding from the beginning."
He Hongling didn't answer, just leaned against the sliding door by the kitchen, waiting for Wei Ping'an to continue.
"At first, Ye Guohua fell in love with you on the bus, and dictated that Xiao Chunsheng drew your portrait and helped him get to know you. And what Xiao Chunsheng really likes is the girl who secretly climbed the wall with him to read a book. ”
"I've heard Xiao Chunsheng tell them before."
"That girl is Tong Xiaomei. When Xiao Chunsheng didn't know, Tong Xiaomei knew. ”
"It turned out to be Tong Xiaomei?"
"Therefore, Tong Xiaomei gave you the quota of the art troupe, saying that it was to fulfill herself, and it was not all a lie. At that time, except for Xiao Chunsheng himself, everyone else knew that he couldn't be a soldier, you chose to be a soldier, and Tong Xiaomei chose to stay and accompany Xiao Chunsheng silently. ”
Wei Ping'an turned his back to the door and didn't look at He Hongling's expression.
Even, he was in a flat mood, and he didn't turn on the spatial projection function to secretly observe her expression.
Well, after all, the body has been scanned many times.
Even with her eyes closed, she knew that she had a few moles on her ass.
He Hongling was silent, and in her thoughts, it seemed that she had begun to re-understand and re-examine her feelings for Xiao Chunsheng with Wei Ping'an's words.
"The second time was Xiao Chunsheng's injury, this time."
Wei Ping'an put the meat strips in the pot and stir-fried.
Between the churning flames, Wei Ping'an continued to say calmly: "You hope that Xiao Chunsheng will transfer to a civilian position and stay in the army, but you hope that Xiao Chunsheng will change and adapt to you, strictly speaking, you don't want to step out of your comfort zone for Xiao Chunsheng." But Tong Xiaomei chose to retire and change jobs without hesitation, and accompanied Xiao Chunsheng back ......"
"Actually, the decisions you made to Xiao Chunsheng at two important moments must have shown who you really love for Xiao Chunsheng."
When the peppers were put into the pot, Wei Ping'an continued to stir-fry, and casually tossed the spoon a few times.
The spicy smell rushed to his nose, and there were several suppressed coughing sounds behind him.
"I like spicy food, but I will also choke on the smell of stir-fried food and cough, sometimes the truth you think is not the truest thought in your heart. In the heart of each of us, it is possible to be deceived by the brain......"
He Hongling did not reply.
Wei Ping'an put aside the plate of fried pork with chili peppers.
Let's start making a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes again.
These two dishes are what He Hongling likes to eat.
This is not Wei Ping'an's deliberate doing, but the dish recommendations given by the Red Queen Zhi Brain after analyzing He Hongling's character.
It perfectly verifies the appalling accuracy of the artificial intelligence red queen.
"How do you know I like to eat these two dishes?"
He Hongling came up.
"I just think a girl like you should like these two dishes. It's like I'd love a girl like you. It's just the feeling, there's nothing why. ”
"Yes, there are so many whys."
He Hongling hugged Wei Ping'an from behind.
"Thank you."
Wei Ping'an patted the back of He Hongling's hand staggered on his chest, and said with a smile:
"It's all said, no thanks. I also belong to the category of ulterior motives. ”
"Your ulterior motives make me feel comfortable. Very comfortable. ”
"It's a bit unusual for you to come back this time. Why, are you planning to repay the favor with your body? ”
"I'm here, do you want it?"
"Don't. Well, at least not now. ”
"Why?"
Not why.
Maybe it's because you're wearing this military uniform, which represents majesty and majesty.
I don't want to desecrate it.
"There will be a major disarmament at the end of the year, and it is possible that your art troupe will be eliminated as a whole."
"Huh?"
"You have two options when the time comes."
"Is there no way to keep it?"
"Do you want to stay in the army, or I will send you to Paris for professional further study......"
He Hongling was silent, and put her face on Wei Ping'an's back.
"Are you willing to let me go to Paris?"
"I can't tie you to my belt. Moreover, Paris is not far away, I can fly over to see you at any time, you are not over there all your life, it is also a good choice to go to the conservatory to inherit your father's work after completing your studies, and it is also a good story for a woman to inherit her father's business, isn't it? ”
"If I choose to stay in the army, are you going to never touch me?"
"Would you choose to stay in the army? Although the art troupe will be abolished, there will definitely be a few transfer places. ”
"Can you buy a small courtyard like this in Paris?"
Wei Ping'an shook his head and added a little water to the pot.
"That's not good, Paris is not as safe as we are in China, and it is safer to live in an apartment than in a manor."
"You're so beautiful, I don't feel at ease if you live alone in the manor."
He Hongling had a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Then I will hurry back after listening to the concert, at least I must be worthy of the head of the troupe and stand on my last shift."
In fact, He Hongling smelled the wind before she came.
The news that the art troupe will be canceled has spread internally.
She came back this time, firstly, to attend a concert, and secondly, she originally planned to consult Wei Ping'an, hoping that he could dredge up the relationship for herself and let herself continue to stay in the army art troupe.
However, because Wei Ping'an gave two choices, and the previous conversation allowed He Hongling to really touch her heart and face up to her false feelings for Xiao Chunsheng.
So, she made a decision that she couldn't even believe.
"When I'm discharged from the army, I'll go to Paris."
"Good. I'll do it for you in advance, and when you come back, you can go at any time. ”
"Can I have children while studying in Paris?"
"If you want to, you can."
"When I come back to work in the future, will I live in this small compound?"
"If you want something bigger, that's fine. If you like it, leave it to you to live. ”
"That's what I want."
He Hongling was very tall, and her teeth could bite Wei Ping'an's shoulder.
"Thank you, Brother Wei."
"The meal is ready, let's eat first. After dinner, you rest early, and I will pick you up tomorrow afternoon and go to the symphony. ”
"I don't sleep in a military uniform, you can stay at night."
"Don't worry, I'll wait for you to come back."
Wei Ping'an smiled and declined.
But that night, although Wei Ping'an did not do anything to He Hongling, he still accompanied her to sleep before getting up and walking out of the courtyard.
Well, between men and women, kissing and hugging is also normal.
Wei Ping'an endured a little uncomfortable, so he returned to Gulou West Street overnight and got into Yu Li and Yu Haitang's house.
The place where these two sisters are is the easiest place to eliminate Wei Ping'an's fragrant emotions.
On the eve of the National Day.
Father Ye took off his military uniform.
Ye Mu also failed to escape the fate of taking a back seat.
Ye Guohua retreated, and after learning the news of his father and mother, although he didn't find out, he also felt something.
I'm afraid it wasn't because of what happened earlier.
Otherwise, how could the parents of a combat hero be in the list of the first batch of demobilized cadres.
Ye Guohua lost the protection of his parents, and he also knew that his situation in the army was not as smooth as it seemed on the surface.
I went back to the capital.
I saw my childhood friends, some of whom achieved wealth appreciation through small businesses, and some of them were admitted to the customs like Chen Hongjun and became a rising star.
Ye Guohua was a little down-to-earth in his heart.
At least he found a new way to survive for himself.
With some previous family relationships, taking advantage of the residual warmth of people's tea, maybe it can be something more.
Therefore, he did not delay any longer, and took the initiative to apply for transfer when he returned to the army.
It is better to be laid off than to take the initiative to ask for it, and it can be regarded as retaining the last trace of face.
On the other hand, Ye Guohua is destined not to give up on He Hongling.
He Hongling's art troupe is going to be abolished as a whole, and this news is already a real hammer at his level.
Therefore, he also had the idea of returning to the capital and finding another opportunity to pursue with He Hongling.
However, he didn't know what he was doing, and it wasn't He Hongling who didn't know about it in the past.
The reason why it is not broken is just to be used as a spare tire road.
Now that there is Wei Ping'an, Ye Guohua's spare tire has long been abandoned by her.
There is no need to be perfunctory.
What's more, some of Ye Guohua's actions are really unaccustomed to He Hongling.
It made her feel sick countless times.
Compared with Xiao Chunsheng's atmosphere and Wei Ping'an's delicate and considerate manners, Ye Guohua is nothing but selfish and shady means.
Ye Guohua: ......
……
Xiao Chunsheng stood up.
They were all very happy.
Tong Xiaomei also naturally became Xiao Chunsheng's girlfriend.
The two of them are sweet and warm with each other.
Xiao Yanqiu proposed a party to celebrate, and Qi Tian and Xiao Chunsheng invariably proposed to invite Wei Ping'an.
After all, it was Wei Ping'an who cared for and encouraged the Xiao family from beginning to end.
In terms of the import channels of the instrument and traditional Chinese medicine treatment, Wei Ping'an also gave Tong Xiaomei a good recommendation.
The only book of acupuncture was sent by Wei Ping'an to Wei Xiaomi.
