Chapter 30 Liu Dong and Shi Lan

Liu Dong, who studied in the teaching team of the military region, began to plan for his future life.After half a year, the training of the teaching team is over, and he will be a justifiable officer.In other words, he is no longer a farmer, and the countryside has become his birthplace. Only when filling out his resume later will he mention Wangjiatun, where he was born and raised. At this time, Liu Dong was standing straight in the queue, and the soldiers standing in front of him and behind him would all be future officers.Now in his heart, Shi Lan's name appears most frequently. Shi Lan is always in his heart, but he is buried deep in the bottom of his heart.For his own future, he had to suppress his good wishes at that time; but now it is different, the image of Shi Lan is erupting in his chest like a volcano at any time.

Shi Lan is a part of his dream, since he knew her, he has firmly remembered her in his heart. At that time, Shi Lan was a kite floating in his dream, high and far away, he could see it , but can't grasp it, can only appreciate it from a distance.He used to feel inferior in front of her. He knew that Shi Lan's father was a high-ranking official in the military region, so she was naturally the child of a high-ranking official.Then he also thought of Hu Xiaohu, if Hu Xiaohu's father was not the leader of the brigade, his sister would not have married him.At the beginning when his sister agreed to marry Hu Xiaohu, he realized that his sister would not be happy. At that time, he didn't have the courage to say it out. Even if the brother and sister knew what the result would be, they could only do so without hesitation. Everything was for him to be successful. .My sister does not marry Hu Xiaohu, he may still be farming at home like my brother, and all his dreams are just moons in the water and flowers in the mirror.

Liu Dong understands life and feels destiny with the feelings of a farmer's son.In his eyes, Shi Lan was born happy, and everything she deserved in her destiny would be held in her hands as a matter of course. Serving as a soldier, going to school, and then being promoted to a job, everything was like a routine; but for him, he had to pay a hundredfold It took a thousand times of effort to catch up with the footsteps of these cadres' children. The same is true for Tamura, because his father is the deputy commander of the army, so he can show off his personality and do whatever he wants, and fate always seems to favor these lucky ones.Tamura was promoted out of the ordinary. In the days when Tamura was promoted, he felt inferior and sad. He was inferior, and he did not have the same luck as Tamura. He was sad that he was just a farmer's son. If he was born in a wealthy family, his own destiny would be so what?He must be like Tian Cun and Shi Lan, living a carefree life. Even if he is not promoted in the army, he will find a good job after three years of service.

When he was free, while Liu Dong was thinking about his fate, he actually hated his origin, and thought of his parents from his origin. In his impression, his parents had never done anything in his life that made him proud.They frown all day long, sigh for the difficult life, and shed tears for their fate.Poor and lowly couples mourn for everything, this is his parents, from childhood to adulthood, he has seen and heard too many tears and laments from his parents.He was too familiar with all this, and when he faced his fate, he also learned to sigh over and over again, he knew that this was his fate.

What he didn't expect was that Shi Lan would take the initiative to communicate with him. She lent him books and discussed news writing with him.Reading the book she lent him, he was immersed in a kind of great happiness. At that time, he didn't dare to have any unreasonable thoughts, and only regarded all this as a dream, both surprised and delighted, more Sometimes it is a sleepwalking feeling. When Tian Cun reminded him at the right time, he suddenly became sober. Although he didn't have distracting thoughts, but for the sake of the future and for himself to gain a firm foothold in the army, he could only choose to withdraw from his relationship with Shi Lan.After quitting, he found out that Tian Cun went to look for Shi Lan confidently, not to mention how uncomfortable he felt.When he found that there was nothing between Shi Lan and Tian Cun, he finally calmed down a little. Several times, he saw Shi Lan from a distance, but he could only watch from a distance.He knew that at this moment, he was not worthy of Shi Lan.Shi Lan is a flower, he is not even a grass.Later when he learned that Shi Lan had been admitted to the nursing school of the military region, she floated out of his sight like a kite with a broken string. At that time, his heart was clean.He persuaded himself in a place where no one was around, and scolded himself: Liu Dong, Liu Dong, who do you think you are, a toad wants to eat swan meat, and doesn't piss to take care of himself, you should give up your heart.Liu Dong, you are the son of a farmer, and you will be a farmer in the future...

He scolded himself in the most vicious language, and only in this way seemed to be able to appease his fragile and inferior heart. After arriving at the teaching team, he discovered that there was only a wall between the nursing school of the military region and the teaching team.This is the training base of the military region. Not only soldiers are trained, but many cadres are also trained here. It is very lively all day long. The training teams take turns passing by, singing and slogans come and go.Of course, the songs of the nurse team students are the most beautiful. All female soldiers are like a landscape, and their singing voices are as sweet as their own.

Knowing that Shi Lan was studying in the nurse team next door, grass grew in Liu Dong's heart. The kite that flew out seemed to return to his sky, but he still didn't have the courage to look for Shi Lan.Many students in their hospital use their break time to find excuses to go to the nurse team to meet acquaintances and comrades-in-arms.Before they left, they all tidied themselves up, found out the most suitable military uniforms, shaved their beards, and applied some skin cream on their faces.They were in a happy mood, humming songs, and kept their eyes on the direction of the nurse team across the wall.They were all future officers, and they already had the right to fall in love, so they seemed very bold and eager to be the first.The wobbling grass in their hearts has now grown into a towering tree.

However, Liu Dong still has grass in his heart, and he doesn't have the courage to walk over.He had imagined several kinds of outcomes for meeting Shi Lan, the worst one was that Shi Lan ignored him, the other was lukewarm, and the best outcome was that she was very enthusiastic about him.Of course he hoped it would be the last one.Before confirming Shi Lan's attitude, he didn't dare to act rashly, and finally he chose to write a letter, the content of which was tactful and reserved.First, I informed that I am studying here, and I haven't seen her for a long time. Finally, I hope to have the opportunity to encourage each other like before.

The letter was sent, and the hope was released, and the rest was to wait with peace of mind. A few days later, Shi Lan replied to the letter. There was only a piece of paper in the letter, which was not a letter, but a small poem.The poem reads like this: Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog Mountains ahead, road behind mountain on top, The road is under your feet... Liu Dong was puzzled by this enigmatic little poem.He kept the piece of paper in his pocket all the time, and took it out to have a look when he had nothing to do.He couldn't figure out what Shi Lan's attitude towards him was, and after several nights of insomnia, he was still turning over that little poem in his mind.

He really wanted to go to the downstairs of the nurse team with confidence like others, and call her down the same way Shi Lan called him back then.Then the two of them walked on Linyin Road and talked about their reading experience. Of course, these are not the purpose. If they are in a good mood, they can talk about other things. If the situation is right, he may grab her hand and tell her Express your feelings that have been suppressed in your heart for a long time.He imagined what would happen if he and Shi Lan fell in love, it would be exciting and exciting. He was excited by his idea, but before Shi Lan had no clear attitude, he could only wait, waiting for the olive branch she threw.

He wrote her a letter again, reminiscing about the past and looking forward to the future. The letter was written in a vague way without any real content, because he didn't have a bottom in his heart.Then came another round of waiting. Liu Dong didn't have the courage to enter the nursing team, so he often wandered around the gate of the nursing team. With a mentality of waiting for a rabbit, he hoped to see Shi Lan here.As a result, he returned disappointed every time.He didn't receive Shi Lan's reply, and his courage dropped by half. On Sunday, he goes to the bookstore to buy books.When he walked out of the door of the bookstore, he saw the backs of two female soldiers hurrying past, one of them looked like Shi Lan, his heart beat like a drum, and he followed them.At an intersection with a red light on, two female soldiers stopped, and he tried to call out from behind: Shi Lan—— The two female soldiers turned their heads together, and he smiled at them disappointedly.The female soldier who looked a lot like Shi Lan told him with a smile: Shi Lan is in the team. He blushed and hurriedly apologized: I'm sorry, I saw the wrong person. The female soldier asked again: Then who are you?Do you need me to send Shi Lan a letter? He quickly waved his hands and said: No, no, thank you. During that time, he often suffered from insomnia, and Shi Lan became his heart disease.Although she was close at hand, he just didn't have the courage to approach her, so she seemed very far away, making him unable to see clearly or touch her. Shi Lan did not expect that she would receive a letter from Liu Dong who was separated by a wall.At first, she understood this letter as Liu Dong's implicitness, and for this reason, she took great pains to reply him with a little poem. She thought that at some point, Liu Dong would appear downstairs in the dormitory and call her name.A few days passed, Liu Dong did not show up, but he waited for his letter again.As she opened the letter, she thought to herself, is it worth writing a letter with such a few steps?Why don't you come over and say something?She read the letter at a glance, but didn't reply, thinking to herself: Let's see if Liu Dong will come or not. When she first met Liu Dong, they were all recruits. She knew Liu Dong's name in the recruit company. At that time, Liu Dong was the pride of those recruits.When she was in middle school, she liked to scribble some small things. She spent most of her free time reading idle books, but she didn't pay much attention to her serious homework.During the college entrance examination, she didn't expect to go to university, so she chose to be a soldier.Her dream is to be a poetess, so she kept posting the little poems she wrote to the newspaper, but it was a waste of time.But she still wrote diligently. At that time, she was a standard literary youth. It was at that time that Liu Dong made his mark. Although he wrote news reports, which were obviously different from Shi Lan's literature, they were published in newspapers in black and white after all, which made Shi Lan envious.After the recruit company ended, she asked around for Liu Dong's whereabouts.Not long after, the teacher's publicity department organized a journalism training class, and she was also named to participate in the study.Her talent was not recognized by the newspapers at that time, but it was more reflected in each issue of the blackboard newspaper.Whether it is a recruit company or a hospital, she has contracted every issue of the blackboard newspaper, which is full of pictures and texts, and is also decorated with romantic poems. Her comrades call her an amateur poet. In that journalism training class, she really got to know Liu Dong.Liu Dong's appearance was unattractive, and sometimes he seemed a little dull, but it was this kind of Liu Dong that she firmly remembered in her heart.She sensitively captured Liu Dong's every move with the feelings of a girl with a dream.She was willing to talk to him and discuss the books they had read together. When Liu Dong talked about his reading feelings, his dull expression disappeared. He looked excited and spoke fluently. In Shi Lan's eyes, they have also become advantages. At that time, she loved to hang out with him, lent him her books to read, and then they discussed together.She couldn't tell what kind of emotion it was at the time, but she hoped to see him often, hear him speak, and see the smile on his face.But later, he suddenly started avoiding her, which made her puzzled, she didn't know where she offended him.The books lent to him were all returned by Tian Cun without a single word, which made her turn from puzzlement to anger.It wasn't until Liu Dong's indifferent attitude towards her when he took up the post that she stopped thinking about going with him, even though her heart was full of grievances. Soon, Liu Dong's shadow gradually faded in her heart.Occasionally, when she first saw Liu Dong's name in newspapers in the military area and other places, her heart would still move a little bit, with a kind of girlish sadness and resentment.Gradually, when I saw Liu Dong's name again, I felt a little angry. I took the pen and smeared the familiar two words on the ground until it turned into a circle of black bumps.She said over and over again in her heart: Liu Dong, what's so great about you? Shi Lan was very happy when she received a letter from Liu Dong recently, but Liu Dong's letter still didn't explain the reason for ignoring her. Naturally, she couldn't forgive him. On the contrary, she replied to Tiancun happily, Although Tamura's letter did not have very practical content.Regarding Tian Cun, Shi Lan had an inexplicable feeling, but she could feel that he and Liu Dong were not the same kind of person, he was the kind of person who dared to do something and had ideas.The hospital also reported that Tian Cun left the team to go to southern Xinjiang without permission. She thought he was very interesting and had a vicious vigor about him.In the past, he only left her with a very naughty impression, a little rascal, but after that incident, rascal became a kind of obsession. At this time, Shi Lan is appreciating Liu Dong and Tian Cun, two male soldiers who impressed her deeply, with the slenderness and sensitivity of a woman. Liu Dong did not wait for the news of Shi Lan.A few months passed in a blink of an eye. Seeing that half a year of life in the teaching team had passed, Liu Dong felt a little unwilling, so he carefully sent the third letter.The content of this letter was expressed calmly, with a touch of lingering taste.The letter not only wrote about the friendship between the two, but also mentioned the worries and fears he had about the relationship between the two when he was a recruit. After all, some people had already made irresponsible remarks. Cut off diplomatic relations.If she still holds grudges for this matter, he sincerely hopes to get her forgiveness, and at the same time hopes to re-establish the friendship between the two of them, so as to contribute to the construction of the army. One evening a few days after the letter was sent, he was washing clothes in the water room when a comrade in the same dormitory rushed to him and said that a female soldier from the nursing team had come to him. He immediately thought of Shi Lan, and ran to the dormitory without washing his hands full of soap bubbles.He saw a female soldier with her back turned to him, standing at the door of the dormitory, he stopped and shouted: Shi Lan—— The female soldier turned her head, but what Liu Dong saw was the female soldier whose back looked like Shi Lan.She looked at him without smiling, and said in a serious tone: Hey, you have called me Shi Lan twice, what's the matter?Did Shi Lan get into your heart? He looked at her with embarrassment. The female soldier held back her laughter, and took out a folded note: Shi Lan asked me to give you something, here it is. After speaking, she patted the note in his hand, and he stood there like a goose. Before the female soldier left, she said half-jokingly and half-seriously: Hey, don't call me Shi Lan anymore, I'm not her substitute.My name is Liu Sanhuan, remember that. Liu Sanhuan left.Looking at Liu Sanhuan's back, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Open the beautifully folded note, on which there is such a sentence: It is easy to see me.Please run three laps around the playground of the nursing training team at eight o'clock on Sunday morning. He read the words on the note three times in a row before he understood the meaning, but why did he let him run three laps in the playground of the nursing training team?Liu Dong once again fell into confusion and incomprehension.But after all, this is the signal Shi Lan sent to himself, even if he goes up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, he also recognizes it.So, he waited for the arrival of Sunday like looking forward to the stars and the moon. Another Sunday has come and gone.On Saturday night, he didn't sleep well all night. He got up at dawn, walked around in the yard of the nursing training team, and kept looking at his watch. He couldn't imagine himself running here.He didn't even understand why Shi Lan asked him to run on the playground, but this was Shi Lan's condition for meeting him.In order to meet her, let alone run three laps, even thirty laps, he recognized her. At ten to eight, he appeared on the playground.The playground on Sunday is lively, some people are walking, some are chatting, some are washing clothes in the water room, and the sun shines brightly on every corner of the yard of the guard training team.As soon as he appeared on the playground, he attracted the attention of many female soldiers.Liu Sanhuan and several female soldiers walked towards him, they covered their mouths and talked and laughed.He subconsciously glanced at his watch again, and looked around, hoping to see Shi Lan, but she didn't know where to hide.But he knew that Shi Lan must be looking at him from a certain corner at this moment. Before he ran, the sweat came down. He wiped the sweat, lowered his head, closed his eyes, and ran with his heart. The playground of the nursing training team has five or six hundred meters in one lap. I was a little embarrassed to run at the beginning, but after running a lap, my mentality became stable.At this time, he heard Liu Sanhuan and several female soldiers shouting: Liu Dong, come on—— The shouts of several female soldiers attracted more people's attention, and a black mass of heads stuck out from the windows of the building, looking out to the playground.Liu Dong felt that his whole body was burning hot from these gazes.When he ran to the third lap, his mind cleared up a little, and he realized that Shi Lan was taking revenge on him. At least for a while, his name would permeate every corner of the guard training team like air, and then become a Laugh at his words.He couldn't control it anymore, for Shi Lan, he went all out. The three-lap run finally ended in torment, and he stood there holding on to the parallel bars on the playground panting.Liu Sanhuan and a few female soldiers took the lead in slapping him, not sure whether it was congratulations or ridicule. He couldn't control much anymore, and sat there with his buttocks.At this time, a pair of feet slowly came into his sight, he looked up along the feet, and saw Shi Lan's face. Shi Lan looked calm and serious, he stood up and looked at her. Liu Dong, congratulations. He looked at her puzzled, with a dazed expression on his face. She smiled and said: You still have a little courage. He asked in surprise: Are you revenge on me? I'm not that careful yet.You ran three laps here today, which means you have made progress. After finishing speaking, Shi Lan laughed out loud, out of control. Liu Dong didn't know what to do for a moment, so he stood there blushing and thick-necked. Shi Lan finally had enough of laughing, and said solemnly: "Okay, you saw me, what's the matter?"Speak. He let out a long sigh of relief, and he suddenly felt that he had nothing to say to her at this moment.In his heart, the current Shi Lan is not the previous Shi Lan.Although she was standing in front of him, he felt that she was so far away from him. Since then, he finally dared to step into the gate of the nursing training team.He and Shi Lan borrowed and returned books as before, and sometimes they would walk around the playground, sit and exchange reading experiences.But with Shi Lan's progress, her admiration for him is not as strong as before, and the relationship between the two seems to be very weak, and there is nothing to match. During this period, he met Liu Sanhuan.Liu Sanhuan and Shi Lan shared the same dormitory, and she was a nurse at a military hospital before she came to the nursing training team.He also knew from Shi Lan's mouth that Liu Sanhuan was Master Liu's daughter.She and Liu Dong were first-year soldiers, and she went to the military hospital as a soldier, so he didn't see her when he was in the 13th Division; after getting acquainted with Liu Sanhuan, he felt more and more oppressed when he was with Shi Lan , I don't know if it's because of Shi Lan's beauty or something else, in short, there is a feeling that he can't breathe.Liu Sanhuan didn't make him feel this way, she was always quiet, like an okra plant, but when he thought of her being Master Liu's daughter, his heart sank, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart for a while . Although his relationship with Shi Lan is optional, he still can't help but look for her when he has nothing to do.Sometimes Shi Lan was busy and couldn't pay attention to him, so he would talk to Liu Sanhuan for a while, because of the Thirteenth Master, they had a lot of common topics, he was willing to see her smile, when she smiled, his heart Just relax, like a breeze blowing through my heart.Sometimes in Shi Lan's dormitory, seeing Liu Sanhuan was there, he couldn't restrain his excitement; if it happened that Liu Sanhuan was not there, he felt a little dull.He couldn't tell what was wrong with him, he came here to look for Shi Lan, but he felt this way, and there was another feeling in his heart. Once, when he was at Shi Lan's bedside, he saw a letter from Tamura, and he recognized Tamura's handwriting at a glance, but he did not expect that he was still dating Shi Lan.Seeing Tian Cun's letter, he thought of Su Xiaoxiao, and felt a little pain in his heart. He didn't know if it was for Su Xiaoxiao or for himself.He envied Tamura's freedom and unrestraint, he was very casual in everything he did, but when he saw that letter, his heart was still sour. The reason why he has no relationship with Shi Lan is because he still has a little fantasy in his heart. If it is possible to fall in love with Shi Lan, his future will definitely be different from the present.Shi Lan is a child of a high-ranking cadre, and what a child of a high-ranking cadre means, he can't tell, the way is unclear, it is the distance between him and Shi Lan.He wanted to show her further, but when he thought of this distance, he lost the courage and could only interact with her so lightly. In the dead of night, he would fantasize about what it would mean if he really had something to do with Shi Lan.Although he is about to be promoted, he has never had a sense of foundation. He believes that the children of high-ranking cadres have foundation; without foundation, there is no sense of security. He wants to find such a sense of security. In the later interactions with Shi Lan, he often sighed unconsciously. When he sighed, Shi Lan frowned, and then said strangely: "Why are you sighing?" His eyes widened suspiciously: Did I sigh? You sigh again! Seeing Shi Lan frowning, he sighed in his heart again, just like his parents, the helpless sigh became a part of his life.Who made himself a farmer's child? He could only express such emotion in his heart.
