Chapter 11 Chapter Ten Five Years and Twenty Five Years (Part 1)

It was getting late, and the street lights on the side of the road in the barracks were already on. There were soldiers playing basketball in the open space, and other soldiers were playing badminton and table tennis. It was lively and orderly.Gao Haihe, who had just returned from the health center of the regiment headquarters, returned salutes to the soldiers who saluted him from time to time. After being busy for a long time, he finally returned to the office. Gao Haihe sat down on the chair, his expression hard to hide his exhaustion, and he felt his temples throbbing.Today is really a "lively" day, especially the trouble in the afternoon, which is really embarrassing to the extreme.

The wife and sister-in-law ran a red light casually, and for losing hundreds of dollars, they took the two car owners to the police station.At that time, I didn’t tell the police how much I had lost. I didn’t tell the police until I came, because I was afraid that the police would be biased and deceive people from other places. In fact, if they hadn't reacted and stepped on the brakes in time, the two of them would not have rubbed their feet and scratched their skin just because they avoided sprains.Besides, if the money is lost, it may not be where it was lost. Even if it was, there were so many people watching the excitement at that time, and there were thieves inside if it was not kept. It has nothing to do with the owner of the car.

Thinking of the expressions of the two car owners, Gao Haihe felt his face was hot.What did the fat man say, you are clearly blackmailing people, the traffic police have said that there is nothing wrong with us, if this woman is not endless, how can we waste so much time, waste it if you say so, just waste it. For a mere five hundred yuan, do you know how much I am worth five hundred yuan an hour? The pretty girl directly took out five hundred yuan and put it on the table, and said lightly, so I can go.If his wife hadn't understood her anger and grabbed Meiyu, and when she saw that she still wanted to reach for it, I really wanted... Alas, Gao Haihe couldn't help but sigh.

"Old Gao, why are you here? I just met the Chief Secretary and said that your wife will be here this afternoon!" The instructor Lao Bai's voice suddenly rang out.Gao Haihe, who was rubbing his temples, turned his head, and saw Lao Bai, who was going to the regiment headquarters for a meeting, struggling to push into the room with a pile of materials, so he hurriedly got up and went to help. "What's all this?" Gao Haihe put the book on the table and flipped through it. "The study materials of the three representatives should be organized by the chief officers of each company and platoon to study, and then passed on to the soldiers," said the old man. Shiro said while fanning the wind with his hat. "Oh, how is your study today?" Gao Haihe handed over his big stainless steel cup.

Lao Bai took it, and there was a burst of cattle drinking. After shouting happily, he stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth and was about to answer, when he suddenly remembered the previous question, "Hey, I said, I was almost bypassed by you. Why don't you go home? It's so hard, daughter-in-law My son is here, why don’t you go home and make out, what are you doing here?” Gao Haihe smiled, “In the evening, a soldier from Erlian fell off his equipment, so I’ll go to the hospital with him.” "Really? Is it serious?" Lao Bai asked quickly. "It's nothing serious, the wrist bone is contused, just take care of it," Gao Haihe said. "Phew..." Lao Bai let out a long breath, "That's good, now the regiment is most afraid of accidents, the soldier from the third battalion last month had an accident and I haven't figured it out yet, I have to emphasize it later, Play with equipment in your spare time! Safety first!" Gao Haihe nodded in agreement.

"Okay, it doesn't matter, you go back quickly, don't make your brothers and sisters wait!" Lao Bai winked and smirked.Gao Haihe snorted, "I'm an old couple, there's nothing urgent!" Lao Bai glared, "Nonsense! You haven't seen each other for a year, are you in no hurry? Even if you are not in a hurry, your younger siblings are still in a hurry, hurry up!" Gao Haihe could only smile, grabbed his hat and walked out. Before he walked a few steps out of the house, Lao Bai stretched out his head again and shouted, "Be quiet at night, and be careful of those bad boys listening to the room!" Chong Laobai waved his fist, glared at the soldiers again, and then strode away.

"Sister, the houses in this army are not much better than those in our hometown!" Yang Meiyu sat at the table eating melon seeds, and Yang Meilan sat on the bedside with an insole to store them. They were placed in the guest house.Hearing what her sister said, Yang Meilan raised her head and said with a smile, "I think it's pretty good." Yang Meiyu curled her lips and was about to speak, when the door was suddenly pushed open, and she stood up excitedly, "Brother-in-law, you go back..." Before he finished speaking, he realized that it was a woman who came in.

"Hey, they're all here. Are you the younger brother or sister of the Gao family?" The woman smiled brightly and spoke Mandarin with a Northeast accent. She was not tall but had a plump figure. She looked about thirty , with a bun behind his head.There were only two women in the room, one looked very young, so her eyes naturally fell on the older Yang Meilan. "Yes, I am," Yang Meilan quickly stood up, the woman walked over a few steps, put away the things in her hand, then took Yang Meilan's hand and said with a smile, "Our guy is the instructor of the battalion department. Haihe is my partner. My surname is Liu. I heard that you are here, so I came to have a look. Xiao Gao hasn’t come back yet, has he? My family doesn’t have one either. They are soldiers like this. They are not busy every day until midnight. After finishing the calculation," she said after crackling, she pointed to the plastic bag on the table as if remembering something, "These are some cherries, the ones here in Xishan, Beijing are the best, they are fresh!"

"Thank you, thank you," Yang Meilan, who was not good at words, would just keep thanking her, blushing, a little at a loss.On the other hand, Yang Meiyu took out one, rubbed it with her hands and put it into her mouth, smacked it twice and said with a smile, "Sister, it's really sweet, try it!" She grabbed two more and wanted to pass them to Yang Meilan . "Little sister!" Yang Meilan felt a little inappropriate, but Sister Liu smiled, "Is this your sister? How old is she, and she looks pretty!" Yang Meiyu called out sweetly, "Hi Sister Liu, this year It will be twenty in June." Sister Liu nodded again and again, "Okay, it's good to be young." "Look at what you said, you are also young, you are twenty-five this year, right?" Yang Meiyu tilted her head and looked at her.

Sister Liu giggled, "The little girl can really talk, twenty-five? I'm almost thirty-five!" Yang Meiyu said with a surprised expression, "It's not like that! Or you urbanites are Will protect, yes, maintain! Unlike us country folks." Sister Liu became more and more happy when she said this, and Yang Meilan also laughed nervously. Sister Liu also came with the army, and her hometown is in a small town in Yanji. Everyone in the town knows that her husband is an officer in Beijing.There are not many people in my hometown who can marry military officers. She is the only one who can come to a big city like Beijing with the army, so she is very envied in her hometown. That's an urbanite in Beijing, and the army pays them wages every month!

Yang Meilan is introverted by nature, and she doesn't like to talk when she meets outsiders, but now the wife of her husband's colleague is here, she is afraid that her words and deeds will be bad, and she will lose her husband's face, so she can only look for opportunities and say politely inexperiencedly, "Sister, you Sit down, please, and I'll pour you water." Sister Liu turned around and just sat down, Yang Meiyu cleverly took out a large handful of peanuts, "Sister, try it, we brought it from my hometown, it's crispy and fragrant." Sister Liu gladly accepted, Seeing the lively chat between her and her younger sister, Yang Meilan silently put down the water glass, and then quietly continued to sit on the edge of the bed and put on the insole.Suddenly, Sister Liu asked her, "I heard from our old Bai that Xiao Gaoti's deputy battalion has been here for a while, why did you come here?" "Oh, I have something to do at home," Yang Meilan replied with a smile. Sister Liu asked again, "How long have you two lived apart?" "Five years," Yang Meilan replied. "Hey, I also joined the army after seven or eight years, and I caught up with the eight-year war of resistance!" Sister Liu shook her head and said, "It's not good to marry them as a soldier. If you don't have enough rank, don't even think about following them." We can only see each other once a year. Women can only spend time at home, and men feel like cats are scratching their heads, so they can only endure it!" "Hehe!" Yang Meiyu laughed, "My sister still doesn't want to Come on, I'm afraid it will affect my brother-in-law!" Yang Meilan lowered her head even lower, but her neck was red. Ms. Liu, who was thirsty after knocking peanuts, took a few sips from her cup and said, "Sister, I didn't tell you, you should come here. Your family Gao Haihe was promoted to the deputy camp when he was less than 30. Listen to what our old Bai said. , the leader appreciates him, he is handsome and has a good figure! This is Beijing, not the small place of your hometown, there are too many beautiful girls." Speaking of this, she lowered her voice and acted mysteriously. "Several officers in our army got divorced after being transferred!" "Ah!" Yang Meilan yelled softly, as if she had stabbed her hand, she stuffed her finger into her mouth and sucked gently. "Hey, are you okay?" Sister Liu leaned forward and asked.Yang Meilan shook her head again and again, but Yang Meiyu didn't take it seriously, she was concerned about the divorce that she just mentioned, "Didn't you say that the military marriage needs to be protected? How can you just leave as soon as you say it?" Sister Liu smiled, and that smile contained many indescribable meanings. She was condescending, disdainful, and felt that the person who asked this question was stupid and pitiful... "The protection is true, so what's the matter with you! People say they have no feelings, At the end of the quarrel, at most he took off the military uniform, and it just so happened that he changed his job and stayed in Beijing!" Yang Meilan bit her lip and said nothing, Yang Meiyu rolled her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking. "Okay, okay, I'm just saying this casually, your Xiao Gao is not that kind of person, but this man has to be careful, have you heard that old saying?" Seeing that the two sisters listened very carefully When she spoke, Sister Liu was very satisfied. She said like a preacher, "Husband, husband, within ten feet is the husband, and after one foot, he may belong to someone else!" "Your complexion doesn't look very good. Let's go to bed earlier, are you tired today?" Gao Haihe said while wiping his face after taking the towel handed by his wife.Yang Meilan shook her head lightly, "I'm not tired," after she finished speaking, she bent down and picked up the washbasin from the washstand to pour the water, but Gao Haihe quickly reached out to pick it up, "I'll do it!" Yang Meilan turned around lightly dodge. Gao Haihe habitually folded the towels neatly before hanging them on the shelf, and then turned around, Yang Meilan had already put a cup of boiled water on the table, smiled shyly at him, and sat back on the bedside to rub her clothes with her head down. The room suddenly became quiet, and Gao Haihe felt that the sound of his breathing seemed to be louder than the roar of the chariot. He picked up the water glass and wanted to find a stool to sit down, but found that the only stool was covered by a large woven bag. occupied.Yang Meilan didn't speak, but raised her body to make way aside, Gao Haihe hesitated for a moment, walked over and sat beside her, with less than a palm's width between them. "Gudu Gudu" drank two sips of water first, Gao Haihe said with a smile, "It's really delicious, I haven't drank water for a long time, thank you." Yang Meilan slightly annoyed, "Why are you being polite to me?" Gao Haihe smiled and said nothing , There was a bit of a cold field between the two.We have been married for almost six years, and the two of us have been together for less than six months, and my wife is shy. Every time we meet for the first time, we are a little embarrassed. It is like the song says, we are the most familiar strangers. "It's not outside, you sit so upright, how tired you are," Yang Meilan said in a low voice, and Gao Haihe relaxed her waist a little, "I'm used to it, and besides, we don't usually sit on the bed, it's a bit awkward, by the way, how can I sit on the bed?" Here you go, you didn't say anything on the phone." "It's been two years since she graduated from junior high school, and she hasn't found any suitable job, and she doesn't want to go to the field. This time, I can join the army with you. Dad said that Beijing is a big place, and you are an officer. Let her come out to open her eyes. Let's take care of it, I thought it would be best to help her find a job, the second girl of my cousin's family works in Beijing, brought back 20,000 yuan last year, and the new tile-roofed houses are up at home," Yang Meilan said with her head bowed. . Gao Haihe couldn't help frowning, no need to ask, although his wife said that she wanted to find a job for her sister, but that must be what the old man meant.What I said about my uncle's house building a new house is actually implying that I usually give too little money, but how much money I can earn as a military officer, I send two-thirds back to my wife every month. It doesn't matter, it's enough to save money for toothpaste, soap and books. Seeing that her husband didn't speak, Yang Meilan secretly raised her eyes and looked him up. She knew how difficult her own father was, but if she didn't say this, the old man would definitely write a letter or make a phone call to tell her husband in person. The words are definitely worse. "Understood, let the younger sister play in Beijing first, and talk about it later," her husband's voice interrupted Yang Meilan's thoughts, and she nodded quickly, "It's all up to you." Zhang Ganshou's thin face felt panicked in his heart. His father was an educated youth sent to the countryside in Tianjin. He lived in the valley for half his life and had no chance to return to the city. Therefore, he named his only son Haihe in memory of his hometown. His father died in a work accident in the production team, and his frail mother died with him when he was admitted to the military academy.The current old father-in-law was the accountant of the village department back then. Whether he was serving as a soldier or helping to take care of his frail mother, he played a very important role, although his help was not in vain. Thinking of this, Gao Haihe's irritability rushed straight to his forehead, "Okay, it's getting late, let's rest." He stood up and took off his clothes, wishing he could take off those annoying things like taking off his clothes.But halfway through it, he realized that he was not alone now. He subconsciously glanced at his wife. Yang Meilan quickly opened the quilt behind his back, got in and moved around a few times, and then the clothes she took off were gently touched by her. placed outside the quilt.Then she turned over to face the wall, and pulled the quilt down to her chin, but the roots of her ears were flushed red. Gao Haihe swallowed in embarrassment, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he quickly took off his coat, turned off the light, and went to bed.The room was suddenly dark, Gao Haihe was slightly relieved, the darkness can cover up many things, at least now he doesn't have to think about what expression to put on. Whether it's embarrassing or awkward, Gao Haihe has no plans to get into his wife's bed for the time being, anyway, it's already June, and the weather is very warm, so he can still sleep without a quilt.Gao Haihe ordered himself not to think about anything, and fell asleep quickly as usual.But before he succeeded in hypnotizing himself, Gao Haihe subconsciously tensed his muscles, and then he felt a fiery body approaching him. He couldn't help being a little surprised. Yang Meilan and him almost grew up together, and her shy personality seemed to have penetrated into her bone marrow. Although they had been married for a long time, she never took the initiative to ask for sex.Gao Haihe, who was a little confused for a while, suddenly found that his wife was grabbing his hand and pulling it there. Surprised, he reflexively wanted to withdraw his hand, but his reason immediately stopped him, and his hand slowly fell to the ground. Soft and warm. Gao Haihe could clearly feel his wife's rapid breathing and heartbeat, "Bang, bang..." After a stalemate like this for a while, Gao Haihe took a deep breath and rolled over.Yang Meilan, who was ashamed and nervous about her actions, breathed a sigh of relief, and the embarrassing feeling disappeared in her husband's fiery body temperature. Those who want to listen to the room today have been driven away by the considerate Lao Bai, but even if they don't leave, they will be disappointed.Because in less than five minutes, the lights in the house were turned on, and Gao Haihe jumped up from the bed at the speed of an emergency assembly. He quickly found the medicine from the bag according to his wife's habit, and then sent it over, "Meilan , Open your mouth, and take the medicine quickly!" With the half glass of cold water before, Yang Meilan barely swallowed the medicine. Gao Haihe hugged her with one hand, and gently pinched her chin with the other to avoid biting her tongue due to convulsions.I don't know how long it took, maybe it was just a while, Yang Meilan calmed down, and the nervous twitching of her body stopped, and Gao Haihe let go of her hand, and both of them were sweating profusely. Yang Meilan stared blankly at her husband for a while, then suddenly pushed him away, buried her head in the quilt and began to cry.Her cries could hardly be heard, but the violent shaking of her thin shoulders could be seen.Gao Haihe originally wanted to persuade him not to cry, in case he got emotional and fell ill again, but now that he said this, it was undoubtedly hurting his wife again. He could only comfort her by gently stroking his wife's shoulder with his hand silently. Yang Meiyu next door rubbed her ears and stood up. Although the walls of the army guest house are very thin, the voices of sisters and brothers-in-law are not loud, and it is quite difficult to steal it. But what did the brother-in-law say about taking medicine? But I can hear it clearly. She tiptoed back to her bed quietly, and before she left, her father's words rang out again, "Your sister may not be able to cure her horny madness, and she hasn't been able to have a baby after all these years of marriage. Now that your brother-in-law is going to be an official in Beijing, you can't let him make excuses to dump us, dad is counting on you!"
