Chapter 3 No towering trees can grow in the greenhouse

How tempting it is to be a mature man!On that early autumn night, Qiao Nianchao was deeply impressed by the charm of a mature man.On that night, he remembered the gorgeous saying - towering trees cannot grow in a greenhouse. The first love between Qiao Nianchao and Fang Wei surfaced logically in that early autumn air-raid shelter.Years of unrequited love finally came to fruition, they were like two incoming trains, panting peacefully.They forgot the time and place in the air-raid shelter, using their young bodies to explore each other. When they walked out of the air-raid shelter, it was already sunset.The sound of the off-duty trumpet in the military compound had just blown, and the soldiers who had been busy all day in the military compound hurried home, and the family members who went to work outside the compound also returned to the compound one after another, their bags filled with red, green and green fruit greens.

The screen was pulled up on the open-air court, and the two soldiers were adjusting the projector. The open-air movie every Wednesday night was ready to start again. Zhang Weiping has not seen life in the compound for a long time, and everything he sees is so fresh.At this time, he was standing tall and straight on the court, with a burning "Yingchun" brand cigarette in his hand, his appearance was chic and mature.In front of him and behind him were some underage children, some moved their own chairs to occupy their seats, and a few were playing a game of police and thieves. Zhang Weiping looked at these children with a smile and a friendly expression, as if he saw the shadow of his teenage life again at that moment.Of course, the current him has long since forgotten all that, that is to say, he is already the leader of an organization.In this evening when the sunset is dying, Zhang Weiping feels good.

At this moment, Qiao Nianchao and Fang Wei passed by the stadium one after the other. They found Zhang Weiping, and Zhang Weiping also saw them.The smile on the corner of Zhang Weiping's mouth became richer. Zhang Weiping was one grade higher than Qiao Nianchao and Fang Wei. They both studied in the same school and lived in the military compound. They were familiar with each other, but in school, because Zhang Weiping He is a year older than them, and rarely interacts with them.However, the incident of Zhang Weiping running away from home and sneaking across the border still caused a sensation in the entire military compound.It's just that after that incident, Zhang Weiping disappeared in the military compound.

A few years have passed, and they have grown up. In the first moment, they looked at each other strangely and familiarly.In this process, Zhang Weiping was well-informed after all, and had an advantage in age, so he quickly gained the upper hand in this kind of scrutiny.He walked over enthusiastically, and even extended his hand. He is used to shaking hands when dealing with people.Obviously, Qiao Nianchao wasn't used to shaking hands yet, and was caught by Zhang Weiping's hand passively in the end. For a while, his face felt a little feverish. Zhang Weiping let go of Qiao Nianchao's hand, and quickly took out a box of "Yingchun" brand cigarettes from his pocket.The tin foil on the cigarette box is shining in the afterglow of the autumn sun.Qiao Nianchao subconsciously refused, his face turned red up to the ears.He has just graduated from high school for two months, and has not yet fully entered the society. In front of Zhang Weiping, who is already very socialized, he seems a little at a loss and is full of embarrassment for a while.

At that moment, Qiao Nianchao faced Zhang Weiping with admiration and hostility.Zhang Weiping had completely taken the psychological advantage. He took a puff of cigarette elegantly, and then exhaled the smoke ring familiarly. Then he asked in the tone of a leader caring for his subordinates: Graduated? Qiao Nianchao nodded, Zhang Weiping's series of actions had completely destroyed Qiao Nianchao's self-confidence built up by the victory of his first love.He actually left Zhang Weiping as if he was running away, Zhang Weiping seemed to have something to say to Qiao Nianchao, but Qiao Nianchao left suddenly.He watched Qiao Nianchao's figure with an imperceptible sneer at the corner of his mouth.During this process, he only nodded with Fang Wei. In the memory of three years ago, Fang Wei was still a little girl, and the little girl grew up in a blink of an eye. Of course, she was still far away from maturity.He stared at Fang Wei's back, and subconsciously thought of Li Yaling, the barefoot doctor in Fangmagou Brigade.Li Yaling is just twenty years old this year, and she is the daughter of the branch secretary of Fangmagou Brigade.When he thought of Li Yaling, something moved in his heart.

Qiao Nianchao had no memory of what was going on in the open-air movie that night. He was leaning against a tree, but his eyes were attracted by Zhang Weiping.Zhang Weiping was standing not far away. He was talking to some older people. Some of those people were working as educated youths who jumped in the queue, and some were serving as soldiers. They all went home for vacation.They all had cigarettes in their mouths, and the flames on the cigarette butts were flickering in the darkness. They were talking and laughing, looking very mature.What they said sounded distant and unfamiliar to Qiao Nianchao.

Qiao Nianchao didn't want to focus on these people, but he couldn't control himself, his ears and eyes were drawn to them again and again, the feature film on the screen was just a decoration in front of his eyes.Fang Wei was standing under a tree not far from him, Fang Wei glanced at Qiao Nianchao from time to time, he felt Fang Wei's gaze, but he couldn't concentrate to respond to Fang Wei's gaze.Fang Wei was eating snacks, she still looked like a little girl, her first love did not make her mature, but Qiao Nianchao was attracted by Zhang Weiping's maturity that night.How tempting it is to be a mature man!On that early autumn night, Qiao Nianchao was deeply impressed by the charm of a mature man.On that night, he remembered the gorgeous saying - towering trees cannot grow in a greenhouse.

After the open-air movie, he held Fang Wei's hand in the dark and hid in the shadow of a building, and said through gritted teeth: I'm going to be a soldier. His decision infected Fang Wei, who was in the excitement of her first love, and she also said excitedly: I will go wherever you go. Fang Wei is not a very assertive child. He listens to his parents at home and his teacher at school. He has hardly done anything out of the ordinary since he was a child.Her parents are very relieved for her, and the teacher is also relieved for her.Now that she and Qiao Nianchao are together, she will naturally listen to Qiao Nianchao.Because at this moment in her heart, Qiao Nianchao was already her only one.Qiao Nianchao's decision was her decision, Fang Wei that night was very touching in Qiao Nianchao's eyes.

Qiao Nianchao's father was the deputy chief of staff of the military region. He participated in the Anti-Japanese War, fought three major battles, and fought in North Korea. Qiao Nianchao was born after returning from North Korea, so he named the child "Nianchao".Every time he fought, he had to have a child. When his eldest son Nian Liao was born, he had just finished the Liao-Shen Campaign, and later he gave birth to Nian Ping and Nian Huai.In the thinking logic of Deputy Chief of Staff Qiao, war is to train a man's blood. Now that there is no more war to fight, he will never have children again.He misses those days of war.

In peacetime, he let the children join the army in one breath.In the end, only Nian Chao, who had just graduated from high school, was left.In fact, Qiao Nianchao's decision not to join the army was just his own decision. According to his father's plan, Deputy Chief of Staff Qiao, Nianchao had no choice but to join the army, but this year's conscription had not yet started.In the compound of the military region in early autumn, on the trees or on the telephone poles, such propaganda slogans have been written on red and green paper, such as: one person is a soldier, the whole family is glorious; and: a soldier is a family, for peace, etc. .

A few days later, the registration for conscription began. Qiao Nianchao took his household registration book and successfully registered at the family committee of the military compound. Fang Wei had trouble with the registration issue.Fang Wei's father is the head of the logistics department of the military region, and his mother is the director of a local hospital.Fang Wei's mother used to be a soldier and worked as a doctor in a military field hospital. After the Korean War ended, some field hospitals were abolished, and her mother transferred to other places at that time.Soon, my mother became the director of a local hospital.Fang Wei's family has three children, the eldest is a sister, who has served as a soldier for eight years, and now works as a security officer in a military department.It has been almost three years since my brother went to the countryside to join the team. These days, my mother is active to transfer my brother back, and the receiving unit has been found, which is the Municipal Health Bureau.The director in charge of logistics has already agreed, and after my brother finishes the formalities for returning to the city, he will let him learn how to drive a car, and then drive for the leader. These things are all worrying about my mother, but my brother's business is not finished yet, so Fang Wei's business is temporarily put aside.My mother has already made plans. The hospital she works in is going to train a group of nurses recently. My mother has already signed up for Fang Wei, and she is just waiting for the training class to start. When her mother heard that Fang Wei was going to enlist in the army, she firmly opposed it.Her reason is that all the children in the family are soldiers and queue jumpers, and the party's call has been fulfilled.Be it a soldier or jumping in the queue, in my mother's opinion, it's all temporary, and I have to integrate into society in the end, just like I have been a soldier for so many years, and I have to change jobs in the end.She doesn't want her youngest child to take detours anymore, she wants to let the child complete in one step and go directly to work in the local area.She is engaged in medical work, and she also hopes that Fang Wei can work in the hospital, become a nurse first, and then pursue further studies when she has the opportunity, and then gradually become a doctor. In order to make Fang Wei lose her mind about being a soldier, her mother simply put the household registration book in her handbag, and she took it with her every time she went to and from get off work.Without the household registration book, Fang Wei would not be able to serve as a soldier anyway. In the first few days when the conscription work started, Fang Wei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. In his mother's impression, Fang Wei was a sensible and obedient boy, but when it came to being a soldier, the quiet Fang Wei was as stubborn as a bull.In those few days, she didn't think about tea or food, and pestered her mother to sign up for the army wholeheartedly.The mother is very busy and has no time to waste time with the children. She leaves for work early every day, and ignores Fang Wei's affairs after work.In this family, the mother is the head of the family, and the father never cares about the children.Fang Wei approached his father and expressed his thoughts.My father is a kind little old man, white, fat and clean. The father said: Girl, talk to your mother, if your mother agrees with you to be a soldier, you can go. But how easy is it to be a mother?
