The things mentioned in the letter were sparse and ordinary, but he seemed to be able to imagine the days when Xiaomeng, whose apricot eyes were slightly round and the apple muscles on both sides were slightly bulging when he laughed, was at home.

During the Chinese New Year, they were still very sluggish when they got along, and Xiaomeng obviously didn't have anything to say to him.

I didn't expect it to be more natural to write a letter from a distance.

Inevitably, Lin Jinping remembered what his comrade-in-arms said just now.

After being promoted to company commander, you can apply for a house assignment, and your family can also come to join the army.

However, he didn't have the intention of finding a partner to marry before, so he didn't think about applying for an assigned house, and he was used to living in a group dormitory.

Besides, there is also a shortage of houses in the army, so it is better to distribute them to those who need them first.

But if Xiaomeng comes with the army......

Lin Jinping found that he was still looking forward to it.

But I'll have to wait until I get home and ask in person.

Xiaomeng is willing to come to join the army, so he will apply for a house first.

If Xiaomeng is unwilling to come to the army, then he will not apply for a house first.

Thinking of what the master said, Lin Jinping's expression deepened. After being promoted to the head of the regiment, I applied for a house, and the area that could be allocated was much larger.

At that time, Xiaomeng occasionally comes to live in the army, and he can live comfortably.

Lin Jinping took a piece of beef jerky to eat, and the hearts of the family were in it.

He picked up a pen and paper and began to write a reply, learning from Xiaomeng to share his life in the army.

Zhou Yunmeng received Lin Jinping's reply when he went to the post office five or six days later.

When she got the two letters, she was still thinking about what was wrong.

Recently, I have only contributed to youth stories, and every reply and manuscript fee are placed in the same envelope.

Xu Xiaoying: "Yunmeng, this other reply letter was sent by the army. ”

Every time she sorted a letter, she would assign it to different areas according to the recipient's information, waiting for the postman to take it to the various communes for delivery.

There are Zhou Yunmeng's letters, and she picks them out separately.

Naturally, you can see where this letter came from.

Thinking that Zhou Yunmeng had just sent a package to the army ten days ago, it was estimated that he sent a letter back after receiving it, and the relationship between this time and again was quite good.

The playful smile on Xu Xiaoying's face deepened.

Zhou Yunmeng's face did not change: "So that's the case, the last time I wrote to the past, he probably replied to my letter." ”

It's not surprising to receive a letter from home and send a reply.

Zhou Yunmeng just didn't think about it all of a sudden.

Xu Xiaoying smiled: "You can rely on writing letters to communicate between the two places, but it's good." I have to be dragged to the movies and the park on my days off now, which is very tiring. ”

After all, there was no disgust on her face.

Zhou Yunmeng knew about it, and Xu Xiaoying told her.

A while ago, Xu Xiaoying was introduced to a partner at home, which was quite in line with her heart, the man occasionally came to pick her up from work early after work, and dated on her days off.

It is precisely because Xu Xiaoying is talking to herself that she is so joking about sending a package to the army and receiving a reply. It belongs to saying that after opening the mind, I was teased a lot, and I wanted to joke when I saw my friends like this.

Zhou Yunmeng poked her unceremoniously: "I see this smile on your face, but you are not tired at all, you are happy." ”

Xu Xiaoying's face flushed: "What are you talking about?" ”

This kind of banter between good friends is easy to increase intimacy.

Zhou Yunmeng teased her a few words, and then listened to Xu Xiaoying talk about her recent sweet relationship with the object.

In fact, it is a pure pick-up and drop-off from work, chatting in the park, watching movies together, visiting supply and marketing cooperatives, and even holding hands are the kind that are inadvertently touched.

Xu Xiaoying really regarded Zhou Yunmeng as a good friend, and shared these things with a little shame and happiness. These words are not appropriate for my mother, and I have to say them to my good friends.

In her unsatisfied, Zhou Yunmeng took the letter and left the post office on a bicycle.

Riding along the main road to almost the grocery store, someone suddenly called out to her.

"Yunmeng!"

Zhou Yunmeng stopped the car and looked over following the sound, and saw a woman with a richer face and body, but her movements were very flexible.

The other party would run over in three or two steps, looked at her a few times, and then said excitedly: "Yunmeng, it's really you, I just watched you flash, and I thought I was looking at the wrong person." ”

An acquaintance of the original body.

Zhou Yunmeng searched for the memory, but fortunately, the person in front of her did appear quite frequently in the past memories of the original body, and she quickly captured the key information.

She simply got down and held the bicycle and greeted with a smile: "Xiaoqing, I almost didn't recognize you when I saw you, are you resting today?" ”

Rao Xiaoqing, the original junior high school classmate, is one of the few good friends.

In junior high school, she was the same table of the original body, her father and mother were both workers in the meat factory, her father was a pig slaughterer in the slaughterhouse, and her mother was a worker in the processing workshop.

Her family is considered a family with good conditions in the county, and the food at home is good, so Rao Xiaoqing has become the envy of most people.

This kind of wealth is better than a blessed state, different from modern obesity, most people in this era are thin, Rao Xiaoqing is a little fatter than them, and at first glance, there is often meat to eat at home.

That adults like this kind of child, and they look blessed, but their peers in junior high school are the age when they develop and appreciate beauty, and they all think that Rao Xiaoqing is not good-looking.

Especially that Rao Xiaoqing's complexion is still dark.

She herself has low self-esteem, shrinking into her protective shell like a turtle, and rarely socializes with the people in her class.

The original body didn't dislike her like other classmates, and he comforted her softly and considerately, and became friends with her.

Of course, according to the character of the original body, she is generally not nosy, she is lazy. is only friends with Rao Xiaoqing because her family has two fathers and mothers who work as workers in the meat factory.

Rao Xiaoqing's father and mother saw that their daughter was just this one friend, and they often came to play and were enthusiastic about hospitality, so the original body could occasionally taste the taste of meat.

After graduating from junior high school, Rao Xiaoqing failed to be admitted to high school, and under the arrangement of his father, he also entered the meat factory as a temporary worker. The original body also kept in touch with her during this period, such as going to her house to play during the holidays.

That is, I was too busy with her to get married and stabilize my position in her in-law's family, and I didn't pay much attention to the memories that had nothing to do with the original book and life after wearing the book, and completely forgot that there was the character Rao Xiaoqing.

How good is Rao Xiaoqing to the original body, it is the kind of person who saves up a canned meat after work, and he is reluctant to eat it and keep it for the original body.

Hearing Zhou Yunmeng ask about his current situation, Rao Xiaoqing said happily: "I'll rest today and come out to buy something for the family, who knew that I would be so lucky to meet you." ”

She explained, "Yunmeng, we haven't seen each other during this time because I'm busy with getting married, I'm sorry." My father and mother introduced a partner, who was also from the meat factory, and they simply got married after talking about it, and then they were busy with a lot of things in their mother-in-law......"

The more Rao Xiaoqing spoke, the quieter her voice became, and she felt that she was so sorry for Yunmeng.

The corners of Zhou Yunmeng's mouth twitched, the other party never thought that the two had not seen each other for so long, and there was also a problem with her, she took everything on herself.

She said, "Xiaoqing, congratulations on your marriage. Actually, I didn't look for you during this time. Coincidentally, I was also busy getting married, and I got married after being introduced by the matchmaker, and I was also on our commune's side, and I have been busy at my in-law's house since then......"

This time, Rao Xiaoqing was surprised.

"What? Yunmeng, are you also married? ”

This kind of thing can't be long and short, Zhou Yunmeng pushed his bicycle and leaned on the side of the road, Rao Xiaoqing followed, and the two chatted.

When she heard that the man her good friend married was a soldier, and her in-laws were also very good to her, and the bicycle she would ride was bought by her man, Rao Xiaoqing was especially happy for her: "Great, your marriage sounds really good." ”

Zhou Yunmeng smiled: "I just heard Xiaoqing say that your mother-in-law's family is very good, you should have a comfortable life this time, right?" The first time I saw you today, I felt that Xiaoqing, you are more confident and beautiful than before. ”

Unlike the girl who had low self-esteem with her shoulders in her original memory, Rao Xiaoqing in front of her was still the same as before, but her shoulders were straight, and her eyes flashed when she spoke, without timidity at all.

In fact, this kind of change has been there since Rao Xiaoqing worked, away from those people in the junior high school class, and the work of the meat factory was faceless wherever she went, and she slowly became bolder.

But compared with the last memory of the original body, Rao Xiaoqing has changed more in the past six months, the whole person is radiant, and his gestures are confident.

Yunmeng's words Rao Xiaoqing believed the most, she touched her face and asked in surprise: "Am I really confident and beautiful?" ”

Zhou Yunmeng nodded firmly: "Really, can I still lie to you?" ”

"Yunmeng, of course you won't lie to me."

Rao Xiaoqing affirmed that when she thought of Yun Meng saying that she was confident and beautiful, her whole heart seemed to bloom.

"My mother-in-law's family is really good, it's good to me, and I'm living a comfortable life."

"My man is very good, he said what's wrong with my dark spots, a hard-working laborer should be like this, and I can grow like this with good family conditions, which is something that no one else can envy."

Zhou Yunmeng felt that Rao Xiaoqing's husband was very interesting, she nodded affirmatively: "Yes, you should think so, Xiaoqing, you are more confident, and you are more beautiful." No one can compare to this beauty. ”

Such a good girl should be confident.

The two chatted for a while.

Zhou Yunmeng basically knew most of the things about Rao Xiaoqing's family.

After getting married, the two families worked together to find a relationship, Rao Xiaoqing also became a regular worker in the meat factory, and is currently working in the processing workshop for canned meat.

She pondered and asked: "Xiaoqing, I just wanted to write an article and submit it to the Municipal Workers Daily recently, but I couldn't find a suitable candidate before, can I write your story with you as the protagonist?" ”

Rao Xiaoqing hesitated: "With me as the protagonist? ”

She knew that the characters who could be in the newspaper were very powerful, but she never thought that Yun Meng would think so highly of herself that she would have to take her as the protagonist when writing articles.

Zhou Yunmeng nodded: "Yes, you see that your family is a worker in the meat factory, working diligently for so many years, dedicating their strength to the factory." After you entered the meat factory, you continued to grow, and the whole person became confident and beautiful, and you devoted yourself to socialist construction with a better attitude in life, which is very representative. ”

These words sounded too good, Rao Xiaoqing began to feel, ah, it turns out that he has changed so much and is so powerful.

She couldn't resist such a temptation, it was a very honorable thing to be in the newspaper, she nodded and replied: "Then Yunmeng, you can write it, I am willing to be the protagonist of your article." ”

As for Yunmeng's article submission, she never doubted it. Yunmeng is so good at reading and so cultured, it is normal to want to write some articles and submit them.

Yun Meng also said just now that she had written an article about the autumn harvest and submitted it to the City and Rural Daily, which was also published in the newspaper.

The two chatted again, and Rao Xiaoqing told Zhou Yunmeng some of the things she did in the factory, so that she could write articles.

After making an appointment with Rao Xiaoqing to go directly to the meat factory to find her next time they met, the two separated.

Zhou Yunmeng rode his bicycle home.

It was really an accident to meet Rao Xiaoqing today.

When old classmates meet, they are still old classmates who had a good relationship before, and it's not quite right not to talk a few words.

learned about Rao Xiaoqing's previous events from memory, and Zhou Yun dreamed that she had changed so much and wanted to encourage her a few words.

The original body has a great influence on her, and what she says in such an identity is easier for Rao Xiaoqing to believe, and then she has the motivation to become more confident.
