Chapter 29 Chapter Twenty Nine

The Dongjiang base wants to organize a submarine long-distance underwater voyage, and the task falls on the 072 boat.Liu Tiegang, who has been promoted to the chief of staff of the base, suggested that the acting captain of Nankejiang should carry out this mission, which was approved by Lu Huaicheng.Knowing the dangers of this mission, Nanke Jianglin wrote a letter to Zheng Xiuzhu before departure. In the letter, he poured out his longing for her for many years, and said that he has always loved her deeply, and his feelings have not been broken because she ignored him. It faded, but became more and more intense as time went by, and finally said that if he can come back alive this long voyage, he hopes to have a good talk with her.Zheng Xiuzhu was holding the letter full of emotions. I don't know if it was Nan Kejiang's sincere words that moved her, or because the barriers had faded with the passage of time, Zheng Xiuzhu was holding the letter with tears in his eyes.Although the shadow in his heart is still there, at least he doesn't hate him as much as before.

Ever since the Nankejiang submarine went out to sea, Zheng Xiuzhu became worried and reticent.She was worried about him, worried about him.As soon as Zheng Yuanhai came home that day, Zheng Xiuzhu stepped forward and asked, "Brother, I want to ask you something, what is Changhang?" Zheng Yuanhai raised his head: "What are you doing? Didn't you ignore Nankejiang? Are you still concerned about him?" Zheng Xiuzhu pursed her lips: "Forget it!" Zheng Yuanhai smiled: "Long voyage, simply put, is sailing on the sea for a long time." Zheng Xiuzhu asked: "How long?"

"Oh..." Zheng Yuanhai thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say, the shortest is a few months, and the longest is three or four months?" "Is there any danger?" "Challenge the physical limit, what do you think?" Zheng Yuanhai continued, "It may also hit the deep diving limit halfway, and the pressure on the bottom of the sea may flatten the submarine." Looking at Zheng Xiuzhu's worried and surprised expression, Zheng Yuanhai couldn't help talking: "A submarine is floating around in the vast sea, it is no different from a leaf, and there is danger at any time. This is not the most dangerous The most dangerous thing is the human physiological limit. Generally speaking, everyone has to go through three stages after boarding the boat. Fifteen to twenty days is the excitement period. People are in a state of excitement all day long as if they were injected with stimulants. Next; after this stage, you will enter the irritability stage, which is also the most dangerous stage. You don’t like everything, lose your temper for no reason, and quarrel at every turn; the last stage is the sluggish stage. There is no difference between day and night underwater. People's biological clock is disordered, and they are most likely to have symptoms of mental disorders. At this time, the whole person is unresponsive, and most people's performance is to sit there without moving for a day, without saying a word, no different from a fool."

After hearing this, Zheng Xiuzhu said to himself: "It's not easy being a submarine soldier!" "That's right!" Zheng Yuanhai teased her, "Oh! Some comrades! They just know how to play their temper." Zheng Xiuzhu glared at him, turned and went out. Zheng Xiuzhu came to the seaside alone, staring at the depths of the sea with emotion, she seemed to see a group of young soldiers silently enduring the unbearable loneliness and suffering unimaginable hardships under the calm sea.They are the ones who deal with death and the real heroes in the peaceful age.

Ma Yifan came behind her: "I've been... looking everywhere for you, but you can't find it. Why did you... come here?" Noticing her strangeness, "What's wrong with you?" "It's nothing, I just want to stay here for a while!" "The sea...is very windy, let's go back!" Ma Yifan saw that Zheng Xiuzhu was motionless, "Then I will accompany...stay with you for a while!" Zheng Xiuzhu looked at the sea and asked, "Brother Yifan, how do you feel about soldiers?" "Okay... okay! The one I admire the most... is the soldier! How else would I want to change my name to Ma Haijun!"

"If you were a woman, would you marry a soldier?" "Yes... definitely! Ah?" Ma Yifan suddenly came to his senses, and said urgently, "Hey...you can't marry...marry a soldier, you can't bear the pain, and besides, you still say that today...you will listen to me from now on. gone." "I didn't say anything and I listened to you." Ma Yifan said confidently, "You...who do you listen to if you don't listen to me? I'm your man...boyfriend." Zheng Xiuzhu was amused by him, didn't say anything, and turned his eyes to the sea.

Xie Tingqun bought a beautiful silk scarf from the street, and hid in the office to look left and right. It was made of silk and embroidered with a circle of elegant lilies. He thought it would be perfect to give this to Zheng Xiuzhu, and she would definitely like it.At this time someone knocked on the door, Xie Tingqun hurriedly grabbed an old newspaper, wrapped the silk scarf and put it in his bag. In the evening, Xie Tingqun came to the Pacific Bar, and seeing no one around, he said to Zheng Xiuzhu mysteriously, "I already told you about it for your brother." "What?" Zheng Xiuzhu looked at him suspiciously.

"Your brother mentioned the matter of the flagship captain? Why did you forget? I personally called the chief of the fleet officer." Xie Tingqun looked smug. "Ah?" Zheng Xiuzhu remembered that he said that he wanted to help Zheng Yuanhai, "My brother knows he will be unhappy if you do this." "Your brother's arrogance is your brother's business. I just need you to accept my favor." "Thank you!" Zheng Xiuzhu smiled unnaturally. Xie Tingqun took out the silk scarf wrapped in newspaper and put it on the table: "It's for you!"

"What is this?" Zheng Xiuzhu opened the silk scarf and picked it up. "Pretty isn't it?" Zheng Xiuzhu nodded: "Tingqun, don't always send me things in the future." "What's wrong?" Xie Tingqun asked nervously. Zheng Xiuzhu shook her head: "No, I just feel like this...not very good." Xie Tingqun breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiuzhu, no matter what you think, anyway, I already regard you as the closest person in my heart." Seeing that Zheng Xiuzhu remained silent, he stood up and said, "Okay, I have something to go to the chief's house, I'll see you again when I have time, I'm leaving."

Zheng Xiuzhu sent Xie Tingqun away, and when he turned around to open the newspaper, he suddenly froze, his mind went blank for a moment, and it took him a long time to recover, how could this be?is this real?She rubbed her eyes and saw that she was right, the photo of Nan Kejiang saving lives was impressively printed on the newspaper wrapped in the silk scarf.The same photo had different interpretations. When Xie Tingqun showed it to her, she felt that Nan Kejiang in the photo was disgusting, but Nan Kejiang reported in the newspaper was a tall hero. Zheng Xiuzhu understood everything. The upcoming "Blue Shield" not only has superior performance and powerful firepower, but also has a formation command room, which can be commanded forward in future naval battles. It is the first true flagship of the navy.Therefore, all levels attach great importance to the selection of the captain of the ship, and the director of the fleet cadre department came to the base to listen to the opinions of all parties.

"You are the chief of the fleet cadre department, do you know what the chief means?" Lu Huaicheng asked. The cadre director said: "Commander, I am the head of the fleet and want to hear your opinions when I come down today." Lu Huaicheng nodded and said, "As for the candidate for the flagship captain, our standing committee members have different opinions. Some hope it will be Chen Jianjun, while others hope it will be Zheng Yuanhai." The cadre and division chief asked, "What do you mean?" "To be honest, these two people have their own advantages and disadvantages in my heart, and they are equal. But from the perspective of long-term development, I hope to choose the younger one." The director of the cadre continued: "But... Chen Jianjun has been greeted by someone." Lu Huaicheng was startled: "Xie Tingqun?" The head of the cadre division smiled: "He said...it was what Deputy Commander Chen meant." Lu Huaicheng said thoughtfully: "I've thought of this situation a long time ago, there must be many people who greet him!" Then he said, "But Chen Jianjun is indeed very good." These words came from his heart Yes, fortunately Chen Jianjun is considered excellent in his eyes.Otherwise, after knowing this kind of thing, he, Lu Huaicheng, might do something surprising. The director of the cadre said: "Chen Jianjun is the son of Deputy Commander Chen after all, this is also human nature!" Lu Huaicheng smiled wryly: "Human nature? Yes, human nature." "Chief!" the director of cadres continued, "Then hurry up and investigate and study! Report the candidates to the fleet as soon as possible. The chief of the navy attaches great importance to this, and we have to report as soon as possible." After the director of the cadres left, Lu Huaicheng rushed to the submarine dock to meet the officers and soldiers of the 072 boat returning from the long voyage, feeling unhappy along the way.He could not have imagined that Xie Tingqun would have the courage to pass on the "sacred decree" to the fleet cadres so boldly. Without Chen Jingguo's secret consent, he would not have dared to borrow his courage.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, Deputy Commander Chen is such an upright person, his son couldn't sit still when it was his turn.It is human nature, the Chinese language is really rich, and any unreasonable thing can find a reasonable explanation.well!Harm the country!He really hoped that there would be fewer words like this in Chinese dictionaries. At the military harbor wharf, colorful flags were flying, drums were playing loudly, and the long banner "Welcome the triumphant return of officers and soldiers of the long-distance voyage" among the crowd was particularly eye-catching in the sun. Lu Huaicheng stood in front of the welcoming crowd and saw the 072 submarine approaching slowly in the distance. The officers and soldiers lined up on the slope with their heads held high, full of energy. In 108 days, the 072 submarine broke the world record for continuous voyage under water without surfacing. For one hundred and eight days, the officers and soldiers did not see the sun and could not distinguish day from night. For 108 days, without fresh vegetables, they relied on military canned food to maintain their strength. At the end of the meal, they lost their sense of taste and even vomited whenever someone mentioned the canned food. For 108 days, they experienced countless life and death tests and unbearable loneliness, loneliness and irritability underwater. One hundred and eight days later, they came back. Although all of them looked haggard, they were full of energy. ——This is the invincible Chinese soldiers. Thinking of this, Lu Huaicheng solemnly raised his hands to salute the returning officers and soldiers. In the evening, in Xie Tingqun's dormitory, under the dim light, Xie Tingqun was sitting motionless on the bed, feeling indescribably frustrated, and the scene at the submarine dock during the day appeared in his mind: Zheng Xiuzhu rushed out of the crowd desperately and jumped into the In the arms of Nankejiang who had just stepped off the submarine, wept with joy. Xie Tingqun stared blankly at the two photos of him and Zheng Xiuzhu on the table. He pretty much thought that with his current status and intelligence, the two photos would be merged into one in a short time.He has also imagined the bright future of getting married with Zheng Xiuzhu countless times and building a happy family together.But now, everything will come to naught, and his years of hard work will be in vain, which is simply unacceptable to him.He silently pinned Zheng Xiuzhu's photo on the table and closed his eyes in pain, but the scene of Zheng Xiuzhu plunging into Nan Kejiang's arms kept flashing in his mind like a spell, torturing him constantly and making him feel emotionally disturbed. Unfortunate, painful.He had to admit that he was eliminated from the love marathon. After Nan Kejiang returned to the dormitory, he didn't have time to talk to Zheng Xiuzhu, he got into the bathroom and rushed up.After returning to the shore after a long voyage of more than 100 days, I can finally take a quick bath. Zheng Xiuzhu bought a soft-shelled turtle and cooked soup for him in the kitchen. After a long time, Nan Kejiang finally walked out of the bathroom. "What a joy!" "You can't take a bath in the submarine?" Zheng Xiuzhu asked. "It's hard to even drink water, and I still have to take a bath! So when we encounter Changhang, after landing, people will walk with their noses covered when they see us." Zheng Xiuzhu smiled: "So many people go to the beach to swim, it's really hard to imagine that you can't take a bath while guarding the sea every day." "Actually, it's not a big deal, but the lack of fresh air on the boat is unbearable. More than a hundred people have stayed in such a small space for a few months. Think about it. But I am used to going out. The smell of the fresh air after leaving the submarine is particularly unpleasant." "Then why did you choose the profession of submarine in the first place?" Nan Kejiang laughed: "I didn't know that when I was in college! At that time, I just thought it was romantic to be in the navy. No matter how you say it, someone has to do it!" Zheng Xiuzhu scolded: "After a few months of walking, I'm worried to death." "It's okay, haven't I come back well?" "How about... Tell the leader to go ashore? Don't stay in the boat?" Nan Kejiang exclaimed: "Where can I go? I just acted as captain for a while, and I haven't had enough fun yet!" "Whoever wants to marry you as a submariner is unlucky!" Zheng Xiuzhu pretended to sigh. Nan Kejiang smiled and said, "Then why don't you marry me?" Zheng Xiuzhu yelled coquettishly: "You're too thick-skinned, who said I'm going to marry you?" Nan Kejiang looked at her and laughed. Qin Siting took a psychology course when she was in school. Recently, she published a paper in the "Journal of Military Medicine" which attracted the attention of Lu Huaicheng. It will become dull, and the error rate of judging things will increase.In a state of war, everyone will inevitably have different degrees of nervousness. Whether they can quickly adjust themselves, eliminate the nervousness to the greatest extent, and make accurate analysis and judgments in the face of danger will have an impact that cannot be underestimated on the battlefield situation. It is the minimum quality necessary for a commander. Lu Huaicheng greatly appreciated the viewpoints of the paper, and he asked Qin Siting to find a way to help him develop a set of psychological training methods.On this day, he dragged Wang Hongye to the training ground enthusiastically.Wang Hongye saw a row of bricks on the flat ground, and beside it was a six-meter-high bridge with the same width as the real bricks. He looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he was trying to sell. Qin Siting stepped forward and introduced to the two: "On the ground, almost all of us can successfully walk the 30-meter brick bridge. The width and length of this high bridge are the same as this brick bridge, but because it is At a height of six meters, very few people can successfully walk the full length of ten meters, which is the impact of human psychological factors on the body under different conditions." Wang Hongye suddenly realized, and couldn't help but praise. Qin Siting went on to say: "If you let the same person walk on a brick bridge, you ask him a question he knows and he will easily tell you the answer. If you let him walk on this high bridge, it may be difficult for him to answer the same question correctly. The answer. When a person first steps on this high bridge, the psychological changes are similar to those in a state of war. After a period of intensive training, the psychological quality will be strengthened, and the thinking and judgment will become stable.” He also pointed out Looking at some other facilities beside the high bridge, "These are designed based on the above principles, and I believe they will strengthen the psychological quality of the participants to a certain extent." Lu Huaicheng nodded frequently: "Okay! Xiao Qin, you have worked hard!" Wang Hongye said: "Commander, I think it is very necessary to bring our captains to the test." The next morning, the current captains of the base were assembled at the training ground. After the chief finished his speech, Qin Siting held the microphone and said: "Now we start the test. When you pass the brick bridge and the high bridge respectively, I will ask you how many A question, please answer me quickly." The first captain in the queue stepped onto the brick bridge on the ground, and Qin Siting asked, "Are you ready?" The first captain replied: "Ready." "Start!" Following Qin Siting's command, Captain A walked to the other side. Qin Siting asked: "Who is the commander-in-chief of the Afghan army in the war between Britain and Amah Island?" "Osvaldo Garcia." The first captain answered Qin Siting's questions fluently. He walked across the ten-meter brick bridge and answered all ten questions correctly. Then he walked onto the high bridge under Qin Siting's signal. Qin Siting asked: "What is the operation code name of the Afghan Army in the British-Amagan Island War?" "Ro... Romario! No, Rosario... move." The first captain stammered. "What plane attacked the 'Sheffield'?" "Super... super military flag!" "Who is the commander-in-chief of the Afghan army during the British-Aman Islands war?" "O... O... Si..." The same questions were asked in reverse order, and three of them were not answered when they were switched to Takahashi, and the answers were also reluctant. Seeing this, Zheng Yuanhai said to Chen Jianjun: "It seems that it is really difficult." Chen Jianjun showed a disdainful smile. Soon, it was Chen Jianjun's turn to play, and he asked Qin Siting, "Doctor Qin, can I go directly to Gaoqiao?" "Can!" Chen Jianjun walked up the high bridge, turned his head and looked at Zheng Yuanhai with a challenging smile.Qin Siting began to ask questions: "Start, Captain Chen, please quickly answer the content of the third item of my captain's duties?" Chen Jianjun was calm and relaxed, and he answered Qin Siting's questions one by one while walking on the high bridge. "Congratulations, Captain Chen, you answered all ten questions correctly." Chen Jianjun got off the high bridge and made a victory gesture to Zheng Yuanhai, and Zheng Yuanhai went directly to the high bridge. "Are you ready?" Qin Siting asked. Full of confidence, Zheng Yuanhai replied loudly, "Okay." Qin Siting began to ask: "May I ask the guidance method of the MJ-6 missile?" "Radar homing self-guidance plus terminal infrared tracking guidance." "What is the lowest level of active ultra-low frequency sonar technology in the world?" "Below 1.5KHz." Zheng Yuanhai quickly answered all Qin Siting's questions, walked to the end of the high bridge and turned back. Seeing this, Lu Huaicheng picked up the microphone: "Zheng Yuanhai, the over-the-horizon radar on your warship found an enemy aircraft at sea, what would you do with it?" "Battle alert! Sonar pay attention to underwater search, anti-submarine torpedoes and anti-submarine rockets are ready!" "Listen clearly!" Lu Huaicheng raised his voice, "I'm talking about spotting enemy attack planes in the air!" Zheng Yuanhai replied loudly: "It is easy to hide from open guns, but difficult to defend against hidden arrows. Our new destroyer has powerful anti-aircraft firepower, so the biggest threat is not from the air, but underwater. I judge that the enemy plane may be a feint attack. The real opponent It's a submerged submarine." Lu Huaicheng continued: "Why are you so confident that you are driving a new type of destroyer?" "You have already told me that the enemy plane was detected by over-the-horizon radar, and the old destroyers in active service in our army are not equipped with over-the-horizon radar." Lu Huaicheng nodded in satisfaction. As a result of this test, 80% of the captains basically passed the test, and five of them answered all correctly. Wang Hongye said with emotion: "I really didn't expect our captains' psychological quality to be so fragile." Lu Huaicheng said: "We have talked about scientific training for so many years, and only now do we understand what scientific training is." After the test, only Chen Jianjun and Zheng Yuanhai were left on the training ground.They glanced at each other, walked up the high bridge from both sides tacitly, and walked to the middle step by step to stand still. "It seems that Captain Chen has more to say!" "Does Captain Zheng think this test is too simple?" Suddenly, the two coincidentally practiced boxing and fighting on the Takahashi. Lu Huaicheng, who was walking on the playground and chatting with Wang Hongye, turned his head and looked with interest at Chen Jianjun and Zheng Yuanhai who were punching and kicking on Takahashi. "Will something happen?" Wang Hongye asked worriedly. "It's okay, there's a bunker below!" Lu Huaicheng said casually. "With a height of six meters, how useful is the bunker?" "Falling into the bunker below is better than falling into the sea during the war." Before Lu Huaicheng finished speaking, Zheng Yuanhai punched Chen Jianjun, and Chen Jianjun fell backwards. Wang Hongye's heart immediately followed raised it.Zheng Yuanhai reached out to catch Chen Jianjun, and Chen Jianjun hugged Zheng Yuanhai's arm when he saw the opportunity. The two fell from the high bridge together and fell into the thick sand pit. The two sat in the sandpit, looked at each other and laughed, Zheng Yuanhai said: "We are level!" "You should have won, but you forgot the truth that you never tire of cheating." Zheng Yuanhai pointed at him and said, "Oh, did you do it on purpose? Ginger is still old and spicy!" Chen Jianjun laughed loudly: "No matter how spicy the ginger is, it will be eaten sooner or later. Let's see you at sea!" Zheng Xiuzhu cried and found his brother Zheng Yuanhai, and told him the shocking news that his mother suffered from stomach cancer, and the cancer cells had spread beyond surgery.She found the medical certificate under her mother's bed.Zheng Yuanhai's face was full of astonishment, holding the medical certificate in his hand, he kept trembling, and muttered to himself: "How could this be? How could this be..." When the two returned home, Xu Xinfang had prepared a meal and was waiting for them to come back. They were still chatting and laughing like before, and there was nothing unusual about it.The more mother pretended nothing had happened, the more uncomfortable Zheng Yuanhai and Zheng Xiuzhu felt as if they were cut out by a knife.Zheng Xiuzhu finally couldn't help it, tears flowed down, and then ran to the side crying bitterly.Xu Xinfang understood at once, the child knew about her illness, and didn't know what to say for a while, so she silently put food into Zheng Yuanhai's bowl, and when Zheng Yuanhai raised his head, tears were streaming down his face. After eating, Xu Xinfang called Zheng Yuanhai aside, and looked at him lovingly: "Son, since you know everything, Mom won't hide it from you, Mom... I want to watch you get married." Zheng Yuanhai looked at his mother and nodded noncommittally. He thought of Qin Siting. The next day, Zheng Yuanhai found Qin Siting in the garden of the hospital, but as soon as he saw Qin Siting, Zheng Yuanhai's courage disappeared without a trace, and he stood there hesitating, speechless for a long time. Qin Siting looked at him with strange eyes and said anxiously: "Zheng Yuanhai, when did you become a mother-in-law?" Zheng Yuanhai turned his gaze to the outside of the garden, calmed down for a while, and finally mustered up his courage again and said: "Si Ting, shall we get married?" Qin Siting was startled, staring at him blankly, it took a while before she came back to her senses: "Zheng Yuanhai, have you thought about what you said?" "I...I mean...seriously." Zheng Yuanhai was a little incoherent. "Hmph!" Qin Siting sneered, "Zheng Yuanhai, are you mentally healthy?" She turned to leave. "Si Ting!" Zheng Yuanhai called to stop her, "Si Ting, I hope you don't take things from the past...to your heart, but today...what I'm saying is the truth." Qin Siting turned around: "Tell me why?" Zheng Yuanhai said honestly: "For my mother, she hopes to see me get married." Qin Siting asked sensitively: "Auntie, what's wrong?" "Advanced gastric cancer." Qin Siting was surprised and didn't speak for a long time. Zheng Yuanhai looked at her expectantly and said, "Siting..." "Yuan Hai!" Qin Siting said in a relaxed tone, "I understand Auntie and your feelings very well, but marriage is a major event in a girl's life. I'm sorry, I can't promise you now. But... I can think about it." After finishing speaking, she turned and left up. Zheng Yuanhai looked up at the blue sky, heaved a long sigh, and walked out of the garden.Mei Xing'er and a few female soldiers walked to the gate of the hospital talking and laughing, and Zheng Yuanhai walked towards him. "Mei Xing'er..." "Brother Zheng?" Mei Xing'er looked at him in surprise, "Are you here for a doctor?" "No...no." The female soldiers said wittily, "Doctor Mei, let's go first!" "Today... no training?" Zheng Yuanhai nodded, looking at Mei Xinger hesitating to speak.Both of them felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. "I haven't seen you for so long... are you okay?" Zheng Yuanhai finally spoke. "It's okay." Mei Xing'er smiled. Zheng Yuanhai said again: "I...I just proposed to Si Ting." Mei Xing'er smiled, hiding the pain in her heart: "Sister Si Ting is a good person, she loves you very much, and will treat you well in the future." Zheng Yuanhai smiled wryly: "What about you? When will you get married?" "I haven't considered it yet!" "Ji Dong, how are you?" "It's good, he has a kind heart." Mei Xing'er said a little numbly. Zheng Yuanhai sighed lightly, bit his lips, and said for a while, "Bless you!" Mei Xing'er forced a slight smile: "I still have things to do, I'm leaving first! Brother Zheng, goodbye!" Turning around and leaving quickly. Zheng Yuanhai turned around and looked at her back with a bitter expression. In the evening, Qin Siting asked Mei Xing'er to go for a walk by the seaside, the two talked while walking, Qin Siting asked: "Mei Xing'er, there is something I have always wanted to ask you, do you really like Yu Ji Dong?" Mei Xing'er smiled, in fact, she didn't like Yu Ji Dong at all, but facing Ji Dong's strong offensive, she was very confused, if she rejected him, Zheng Yuanhai and Qin Siting would have no results.For a while, she acquiesced, never promised, but never refused.Seeing Qin Siting looking at her, she said, "I grew up in the countryside. Most of the girls in the countryside don't know what love is. They meet a man through a matchmaker, and then they get married and have children. People in the countryside think that as long as a man is good , as long as you can live your life, that's fine." "You're talking about the past, and besides, you've already lived in the city." "But I never thought in my heart that I was out of the countryside." Qin Siting asked again: "Are you really planning to marry Yu Jidong?" Mei Xing'er was silent, she didn't know how to answer, she turned her eyes to the sea and nodded. Qin Siting sighed, and said after a while: "Girls in the city don't think like you do, and they regard marriage as the most important choice in their lives." Mei Xing'er smiled and said, "Girls in the city are so selective, why is the divorce rate much higher than in the countryside?" "That's different. It doesn't matter whether he will divorce or not in the future, just being able to love once is enough." Mei Xing'er smiled bitterly, and said to herself with deep emotion: "Yes! One love is enough." Qin Siting suddenly took her shoulders: "Mei Xing'er, tell me the truth, is it because of me that you left Yuan Hai?" Mei Xing'er smiled at her: "Sister Si Ting, what are you doing? Am I that stupid? I know that love is selfish." Qin Siting let go of her hand, and said after a while: "Mei Xing'er, if you married Yu Jidong for any other reason, I advise you to turn around quickly." "Sister Si Ting, don't worry, it's not." Silence, neither of them spoke anymore, they just stood there motionless.After a while, Qin Siting finally sighed and said, "Yuan Hai proposed to me, but I didn't agree." "Why, Sis Ting? You like Brother Zheng so much!" Qin Siting shook her head slightly: "I feel uncomfortable." Mei Degui came to the team again, and when Mei Xinger saw him, she couldn't help asking strangely: "Dad, it's the time when the farm work is busy, why do you have time to come and see me?" "Hey, Dad...I miss you!" Mei Degui asked back, "By the way, Xing'er, have you found someone yet?" "Hmm..." Mei Xing'er hesitated. "Yes?" Mei Degui yelled happily, "Someday I will bring you to ask Dad to take a look? What kind of person is he? Are you rich?" Mei Xing'er complained: "Dad, why are you always staring at money?" "Didn't Dad want you to have a better life in the future?" "By the way, Dad, didn't you say you would ask someone to find you a partner? Did you find one?" "Hey..." Mei Degui said with some embarrassment, "I just want to... discuss this matter with you!" "Then what's the point of negotiating?" "I'm not afraid to find you a stepmother, do you have any ideas?" "What age is it? Anyway, your daughter is also a soldier, so you don't understand the truth?" Mei Xing'er said happily, "I agree, you can find a companion and someone will take care of you at home, so I can feel at ease in the army. Nothing to discuss." "Hmm..." Mei Degui hesitated to speak. Mei Xinger asked, "Are you short of money?" Mei Degui said dubiously: "Ah? There is no shortage of money! There is money...hehe..." She said embarrassedly, "You said that Dad's old face is really thick, let me tell you this." The next day, after Mei Xing'er left for work, Mei Degui stayed alone, restless, thinking about how to borrow money from her daughter, and got angry in her heart, but didn't know how to speak.For a while, he came to the mirror and muttered words, practicing how to borrow money, and for a while he talked to himself alone, and when he felt that it was not right, he took a few sips from the liquor bottle to strengthen himself.After tossing and tossing, the result was that he couldn't come up with an excuse, and he drank the whole bottle of white wine. After Mei Xing'er got off work, she came back to the house with the meal from the cafeteria, and saw her father asleep on the table, with an empty wine bottle tilted beside her.She quickly put the food in her hand on the table, and helped her father to lie on the bed. Mei Degui was drunk: "Daughter, you are back!" Mei Xing'er complained: "Dad, why do you drink so much wine?" "Dad didn't come here on purpose to ask you for money, there's nothing Dad can do..." "Dad? What are you talking about?" "Dad knows that you don't have any money, so it's not that you don't give it to me...you are my own daughter, you didn't pick it up...you didn't pick it up..." Mei Xing'er stood there in a daze, her mind went blank, as if the whole world stood still for a moment, she stood there motionless and looked at Mei Degui who had fallen asleep again on the bed. Mei Xing'er went to Luhuai to measure his blood pressure, and saw that the photo frame with his daughter's full moon photo was broken, so she had an idea and borrowed the photo in the name of helping him change the photo frame.After taking the things, Mei Xing'er went back to the hospital, went to the gazebo in the garden alone, took out a photo of herself when she was five years old, and compared it carefully with the photo of Lu Huaicheng's daughter.Unexpectedly, Shen Hong saw her strange behavior, and Shen Hong came quietly behind her, and suddenly called out: "Doctor Mei, what are you looking at?" "Damn girl, you scared me to death." Mei Xing'er patted her heart and said. Shen Hong laughed: "Whose photo is it?" "Do you look like a person?" Mei Xing'er handed over the photo. "What is an image? It's just a person. You see, although this one has grown up, the nose, eyes, and mouth haven't changed." Shen Hong turned her head to look at Mei Xing'er again: "It's the same as you are now, it hasn't changed. .” Mei Xing'er changed the topic: "Do you have anything to do with me?" "It's not me looking for you, it's someone who's running around looking for you, waiting for you in your dormitory!" Mei Xing'er thought for a while, and said: "Shen Hong, do me a favor, go tell that person, just say that there is an urgent task, I can't leave right now." "Who is that person?" Shen Hong asked curiously. "Oh, don't ask, you go!" Yu Jidong didn't find Mei Xing'er, so he dragged Mei Degui to the Haojue Hotel. Mei Degui was dumbfounded looking at the sumptuous feast on the table: "This...what is this all about?" Yu Jidong smiled and introduced to him: "Uncle, let me introduce to you, this is shark fin, this is shark fin, this is abalone, this, lobster, have you seen this wine? Twenty-year-old Moutai." Mei Degui asked cautiously: "Is this a lot of money?" Tan Long on the side interjected: "At least 10,000 yuan." "Oh my god! This...isn't this eating money? How can you swallow it?" Yu Jidong chuckled: "We are all a family now, shouldn't we spend more money on you?" Mei Degui sighed and shook his head: "This table of food is enough for me to do business." "What are you going to do?" Yu Jidong asked. "Ah...it's nothing wrong." Mei Degui hesitated, "It's just...a fellow countryman wants me to borrow some money!" Yu Jidong didn't ask any more questions, and whispered a few words to Tan Long, and Tan Long turned around and left.
