Tan Yuanqing got into his cousin's green jeep and went to the compound.

He sat in the back, and after getting in the car, the whole person was also very restrained.

Tan Yuanqing's grandfather and cousin's grandfather are brothers, and they are close to each other, but they are not close.

In normal times, this cousin has been staying in the army and has little contact.

To be honest, don't look at his cousin, who is only one year older than him, but he is already a company commander, which shows how powerful he is in the army, so he is a little afraid of his cousin.

He came to Changming Hutong after work, but he didn't expect to meet his cousin here, and then he saw Tong Lin, and he was only happy for a while, and he forgot that his cousin was on the side.

At this time, there were only two people in the car, and Tan Yuanqing became restrained again.

Tan Rongquan glanced behind him through the rearview mirror and asked, "That's your high school classmate?" Where is it at home? What for? How old is she? ”

Tan Yuanqing immediately sat up straight, "It's my high school classmate, called Tong Lin, her parents are workers, she is twenty years old this year, she went to the countryside after graduation, and a few days ago I heard from my classmates that she got married in the countryside." ”

"Married?"

"Yes, I didn't have a chance to ask just now, and I don't know exactly what's going on."

Tan Rongquan hummed lightly, "What factory do her parents work in?" Home is local? ”

"Tong Lin's father is from a mechanical factory, and her mother seems to be from a textile factory. Home is local. Tan Yuanqing secretly glanced forward, "Cousin, you inquire about this, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Where does her family live?"

"Textile Mill Family Building." Tan Yuanqing replied honestly.

Tan Rongquan didn't ask again after that, Tan Yuanqing wanted to ask his cousin again to ask what he was doing, but he couldn't think of anything else except for taking a fancy to Tong Lin.

After the car entered the compound, it drove until it stopped in front of the Tan family's villa.

Tan Yuanqing plucked up his courage, "Cousin, I like Tong Lin." ”

Tan Rongquan turned off the fire and looked at him through the rearview mirror, "I know." ”

Tan Yuanqing tugged at the corners of his mouth and got out of the car.

I just met my cousin in Changming Hutong, and he just politely said that he still wanted to go to his cousin's house to see his aunt, but he dug a pit for himself, and now he has been pulled over.

The uncle is also in the army, he is strict, and he has to be lectured every time they meet, and Tan Yuanqing doesn't like to come here.

What's more, the two families don't move around much, and it's even more impossible for him to move around as a junior.

I followed my cousin into the villa, and the hall was empty, and a woman sat on the old-fashioned solid wood sofa.

Tan Yuanqing honestly stepped forward and shouted, "Auntie." ”

Han Jinghong stared at the other party for a while, revealing a smile, "It's Yuanqing, I haven't been here for a long time, come and sit." ”

The voice is gentle and matches the human temperament.

Tan Yuanqing sat down next to Han Jinghong, "Auntie, are you at home by yourself?" My uncle isn't here? ”

"I can't see him at home during the holidays, how can I be at home in normal times." Han Jinghong smiled.

"Yes." Tan Yuanqing smiled awkwardly, he was very stupid, and what he didn't like the most was this kind of communication.

But after the cousin sat down, he didn't speak, Tan Yuanqing could only talk to the elders, and he didn't know what to say, so he talked about what he encountered as a flight attendant.

In the end, it was not early, and Tan Yuanqing also said that the family was waiting for him to go back to eat, refused Han Jinghong's stay, and ran away.

Tan Yuanqing left, and Tan Wan was left with only Han Jinghong's mother and son.

Tan Rongquan said, "Mom, what do you want to eat at night?" ”

Han Jinghong got up and didn't look at her son, "You're not hungry, don't worry about you, you can eat by yourself." ”

So saying, the man went back to his room.

Tan Rongquan's indifferent expression softened, "Mom, my friend said that he had heard some news, and I promised you that I would definitely find my sister." ”

"Shut up." Han Jinghong turned her head violently, her eyes red, "You are not allowed to mention your sister again." If it weren't for you, your sister wouldn't have lost it. ”

Tan Rongquan pursed his lips.

"Enough, your army is busy, go back to the army, as for looking for your sister, your father has not stopped looking for it all these years, and he doesn't need your help." Han Jinghong turned around and drove her son away.

"Okay, I've got you some fresh oranges, you like to eat sour, these oranges happen to be green, and I'll put them on the shoe cabinet." Tan Rongquan is gone.

The silence in the room was restored, Han Jinghong turned around, looked at the window, and looked at her son's distant figure through the window, she pursed her lips and turned back to the bedroom.

After Tan Rongquan came out of the house, he did not return to the army, and returned to Changming Hutong with a strange name.

He didn't come back to his senses until he was back here.

It was already dark, and he lit a cigarette, and the light of the smoke appeared and disappeared in the dark carriage.

Tan Rongquan looked out of the car, and the dance hall lights on both sides illuminated the entire alley, and in the depths of the alley, there was a figure in and out of the house, busy.

A few minutes later, Tong Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead, and when he looked up, he saw a man standing a few steps away.

She was stunned for a moment, "Why are you here?" ”

It's Tan Yuanqing's cousin who was a soldier.

"Are you with cement?" After Tan Rongquan saw that all the cement bags were thrown on the ground, he asked her.

Tong Lin nodded, "Yes, I want to pave the ground, there is no technical content, and I am not in a hurry, so I will slowly get it myself." ”

"That's a manual job." Tan Rongquan glanced at her, "I think you need a helper." ”

Tong Lin was stunned, and the man had already passed her and went into the house.

Tong Lin chased after him, "No need, I'll do it myself." ”

The two are not familiar with each other, they have only met once in the afternoon, how can this be done.

"It is also our duty to serve the people."

Tong Lin looked at the military uniform on his body, and it was hard to say more.

When she came back in the afternoon, she began to make the floor with the ashes by herself, and the work of smoothing was quite easy, but it was very tiring when the cement and sand were mixed in it, and she could no longer lift her arms, but only half of them.

After Tan Rongquan came in, he took off his coat directly, picked up a shovel and started working with only the short sleeves inside.

I don't know it, everyone is dry, and Tong Lin is not easy to rest, so go up to help.

Men didn't let her pick up tiring jobs just because she was a woman, but if she needed help, she would support Tong Lin.

From eight o'clock in the evening until half past twelve in the morning, the floor of the whole house was paved.

Tong Lin's face was covered with ash, and she had dried it out after staying up so late, she cracked the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Thank you, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would take me three days to finish it." Go to the backyard and wash it, it's all cement ash, and it's dirty everywhere you touch it. ”

Tan Rongquan answered and followed Tong Lin to the backyard.

He took a look, the backyard was very tidy, but the breath of life was not strong, and he could see that he had just moved over.

There was too much time, Tong Lin could only take cold water, and when she saw the other party, she washed her hair with cold water, and she couldn't help it.

But the other party washed quickly, and Ben didn't give her a chance to stop it.

Tong Lin could only hand over the towel.

"Your husband isn't home?" Tan Rongquan asked while wiping his face.

"Yes, I'm back to my hometown to pull things." The other party is a soldier, and Tong Lin said it truthfully.

"Living in a place like this, a person locks the door at night." Tan Rongquan put the towel on the washstand, picked up the coat and put it on, "It's not early, you can rest." ”

"Thank you so much today, I'll treat you to dinner another day if you have time." Tong Lin followed.

Tan Rongquan stopped and looked back at her, Tong Lin was stunned for a moment, stopped in place, and listened to him ask, "Are you really 20?" ”
