In the parking lot outside, a senior military vehicle with a chief military card is parked there. The driver, an 18-year-old soldier, kept looking in.
Finally, I saw a man coming out of it, and the little soldier shone at the moment.
A young officer walked out of the airport with luggage in his hand. He has wide shoulders and long legs, and is tall and vigorous. He is dressed in a straight military uniform, clean and tidy, and his pace is not slow, which brings out the steady and well-trained style of soldiers.
The little soldier was immediately welcomed and saluted the officer nervously.
"hello! Excuse me, are you a single deputy captain? "
The officer raised his hand and gave a military salute, revealing a pair of sharp eyes under his hat.
"I am."
"Single ... single vice captain! I am an orderly of the headquarters public service team, and I am here to pick you up at the command of the old chief! "
The little soldier met his eyes and stammered with nervousness. He quickly took the luggage in the officer's hand and opened the car door for the officer.
"Please get on the bus!"
Expressway, military vehicles galloped all the way.
On both sides of the road are flashing street trees, and the golden leaves are the most beautiful in this season. A rich golden yellow color painted the broad and clear blue sky with colorful mottles.
While driving, Zhou Xiaobin looked at the people in the back seat curiously through the rearview mirror.
The officer in the back seat leaned back, a little hot. The first two buttons of the military uniform have been unbuttoned, revealing a strong neck and bringing out a little wildness. He casually put his hat aside and stared at the scenery outside the window.
That heroic face bears the ferocity of a soldier, but there is a natural wildness, informality, discipline and unruly temperament in his eyes. There is no conflict in this handsome face.
Those eyes suddenly stared keenly at the rearview mirror, and Zhou Xiaobin was found peeking.
Zhou Xiaobin's face turned red and she withdrew her eyes in panic.
"Why do you always look at me?"
The officer asked Gherardini, with a magnetic voice and a little teasing.
"Don't mind ..." Zhou Xiaobin explained nervously. "I often clean your room, so I have seen many photos of you."
At the end of last year, Zhou Xiaobin was transferred to the home of the single commander of the military region as an orderly. He has been responsible for cleaning the room every day for the past six months. Although the owner of the empty bedroom on the second floor is absent, Zhou Xiaobin is told that it must be kept as it is and kept clean every day. From half a month ago, the old chief couple learned that the vice captain was going to visit relatives, and the family was happier than the holiday. Washing, drying, cutting and chopping at home have been busy for more than half a month, just to welcome the commander's son, whom Zhou Xiaobin has only seen in photos, home.
Speaking of this single vice captain, it is amazing that his story has been left everywhere in the military compound. Even Zhou Xiaobin, a new member, has heard a lot.
After graduating from high school, I took the military major of National University of Defense Technology, a top military college in China. After graduating from this "Tsinghua in the Army", I gave up my post as a cadre of regional organs and went to the reconnaissance battalion of the grass-roots troops of the Army Field Division. It didn't take long for the assessment to be transferred to the special operations brigade of XX Military Region. In less than a year, I served as the vice captain of the special operations team because of my excellent task. He published a research paper on multi-arms joint operational command system and foreign military strategy in the army and was admitted to the National Defense University, the highest military academy of the People's Liberation Army, to study for a master's degree in operational command. I will go north for further study after going home to visit my relatives this time.
Just listening to his resume makes Zhou Xiaobin dizzy.
In that youthful room, Zhou Xiaobin cleans it every day. There are photos on the table, which he wipes every day.
The photo shows a handsome and aggressive high school boy. Wearing a black hook-shoulder vest, showing strong and charming arms, a cowboy coat lazily draped over his shoulders, and his eyes shining with unruly light.
It is difficult for Zhou Xiaobin to associate this rebellious boy with such a military elite.
Every time he cleans the photo frame, he is full of curiosity.
What kind of person is the person in the photo?
Today, he finally met the real person.
"Your photos ... are really awesome." Zhou Xiaobin said a little embarrassedly.
"The photo is handsome, I am not handsome?"
The official said in a teasing tone at the end of his speech.
"No, I mean, you are more handsome than in the picture." Zhou Xiaobin said hurriedly, flushed with childish face.
The official gave an interesting smile.
"What are you nervous about? You're afraid of me. Relax! "
"Yes!" When Zhou Xiaobin saw his idol, he was inevitably excited and gradually eased his nervousness. "Single vice captain, old chief, I'm glad you came back this time. They have been looking forward to your return and always mention you. I have long wanted to know you. "
"So you always think about my picture?"
"No, I ..." Zhou Xiaobin blushed. Looking through the rearview mirror, the officer's mouth is slightly curved, bringing out a trace of unruly, overlapping with the teenager in the photo. This expression is naturally irresistible. Zhou Xiaobin is a man who can't help but face a hot spot.
"The old chief was right. You really like playing tricks on people. " Zhou Xiaobin said with a straight face.
"The old man spoke ill of me at home again." The officer smiled faintly.
"No, the chief often praises you."
Zhou Xiaobin still secretly glanced at the rearview mirror. He really thinks that real people are more beautiful and handsome than in movies. Where is handsome? He can't tell. It's probably the feeling between gestures. Anyway, that's the feeling.
"Are you a recruit?"
"Yes, I stayed at your home for half a year, and the head of the delegation and my aunt took special care of me."
Zhou Xiaobin is young, but he is diligent and clever. Otherwise, he can't be the chief orderly.
The officer smiled faintly.
"What's your last name?"
"Zhou!" Zhou Xiaobin was very excited, nervous and excited to introduce himself. "My name is Zhou Xiaobin. Just call me Zhou Xiao! "
"... weeks ..."
The officer suddenly fell silent.
Zhou Xiaobin drove for a long time and didn't hear the police officer speak again.
The sudden change of atmosphere made Zhou Xiaobin feel at a loss and didn't know what he had said wrong. In the silence, he was too scared to answer again.
Through the rearview mirror, he saw the officer's face. There was no superfluous expression on that face. She looked out of the window without saying a word.
The car pulled into the military compound.
The majestic sentry on the sentry saluted the car, and the car body melted into the straight and wide Wu Tong Avenue in the gate.
The bright sunshine in late autumn hangs over this solemn and beautiful military compound, the energetic soldiers on the basketball court, the towering auditorium, the lush gardens and pavilions, and the solemn portrait of Chairman Mao ... The years have passed silently here, nothing has changed, and everything seems to be the original appearance of the years.
ChanJun got off and looked up.
In autumn, the high sunshine swept the roof and courtyard wall of the general building and sprinkled on the golden military uniform buttons on his chest.
Several lush osmanthus branches enthusiastically leaned out of the courtyard wall, emitting a strong osmanthus fragrance. Now the general building is still the same as before, but the rebellious teenagers inside and outside the courtyard wall exchanged time.
"the army! ! "
Two old people who had already stood at the door were greeted with excitement.
Shan Jun saluted in a standard and powerful stand-at-attention posture and was embraced by the two old people who were greeted. ...
This is the first time that Shan Jun has taken home leave since he graduated from the military academy.
During the military academy, although there were winter and summer vacations, the intensive military training during the holidays left Shan Jun little time to really go home. The old political commissar and his wife really miss their grandson. Although the old political commissar has always been gratified that Shanjun has finally taken the right path, he feels that Sun Tzu has finally inherited the glorious tradition of the older generation of revolutionary soldiers and has not taken the wrong path. He still has their loyalty and courage in his bones. It is more gratifying for Shan Jun to give up his post and choose to go to the grassroots, but it also means that this grandson is not with them and can't go home often. Until then, Shan Jun resolutely joined the job transfer and entered the special warfare brigade. The old political commissar knows better that this grandson is destined not to stay with him in the future. He has embarked on the road away from military organs, and the war has signs of war, and the blood on the battlefield will accompany his military career. Although reluctant to give up, the old political commissar will not hinder him. This is his contribution to the country as an old soldier.
Put on this military uniform, you will no longer belong to a small family, only to the country.
This time, the single army was admitted to the National Defense University, which became a glorious event for the single family. The old political commissar and his wife were very excited and proud. National defense university, the cradle of generals, the elite of the military elite. In the past, when the single army was playing around, the old political commissar and his wife dared not even think about it. Walking in the yard to mention this matter, who is not full of praise with a thumbs up? The old couple's faces are all smiles. What makes parents happy is that going to school means having a holiday. If you have a holiday, you can go home and have a family reunion, which is even more enjoyable for the old couple. So ChanJun home this time, naturally needless to say, the family is happy, the whole general building is shrouded in a jubilant atmosphere, even the commander heard that ChanJun home, all the way back from the army to visit relatives, to come back in these two days, to go home and reunite with their families.
At the dinner table, the old political commissar drank too much, and the single army stopped him from drinking too much. The old political commissar blocked the grandson's hand: "I am happy! No one should stop! "
"Grandpa, I almost understand. If I drink again, it will be high. "
"Jun Jun, let your grandpa drink! You don't know how happy your grandfather is today, and so is grandma today. Grandma has a drink! " Grandma Chan Jun also made an exception and drank white wine. She couldn't put it down for a single soldier in a neat uniform.
"All right, you stop that now, you don't know, since you left home, I haven't seen my grandparents so happy, so I tell you that your parents are partial to him, and your parents don't admit it. You see, it's exposed as soon as you come back! There is nothing wrong with my whole eyes! "
Danny is here, still complaining with her straightforward personality. Actually, her brother seldom comes back. She is more careful than anyone. She came to the kitchen one day in advance and worked in the middle of the night. She cooked a big table full of dishes, all of which were Shan Jun's favorites.
"Come on, sister, I respect you."
ChanJun poured a full glass of wine, stood up and lifted it to Danny.
"When I'm not at home, you take care of your grandparents. I have to worry about being away from home for a long time in the future. But you are my sister. Please accept this glass of wine as my thanks. Grandparents will please you in the future. Take care of me more, think of home wherever I go, and my heart will be at ease. Thank you, sister. "
Say that finish, drink off.
Danny's eyes are a little red.
She looked at her brother in front of her. She looked at this little brother who had grown up since childhood. After wearing a military uniform, the heroic spirit, fortitude and facial features sharpen the edges and corners of soldiers and precipitate the maturity of men. That makes her strange, makes her happy, and she can't say how sad she is.
"Yes, I have grown up ..." Danny said with a smile, but there were tears in his eyes. "You can talk if you are sensible."
Dandan also gulped down the wine.
"You seem to be leaving home, don't you just go to school in Beijing? Don't you have winter and summer vacations? Than when you were in the special operations brigade. At least you can go home often. When I miss you, my grandparents and I will go to see you. By the way, I will stay in Beijing for a while. I have a suite in Beijing sanatorium. I can leave whenever I want. What are you doing here? "
ChanJun put down the glass, a full face of strange, the whole family didn't find it.
Dandan was happy again and called, "Come on, sit down and eat quickly. I won't spare you if you don't destroy your sister's skills today! "
……
That night, the old political commissar was drunk, and Dandan and Chanjun's brother-in-law were also a little drunk. The whole family laughed and laughed constantly, and the orderly added wine and served food from time to time. The warm light in the room shines through the window into the warm courtyard outside the window. The long-lost excitement of this general building immersed the whole building in joy and celebration. ...
Late at night, the old political commissar and his wife both slept, and the Dandan family of three also went back to the upstairs room.
Zhou Xiaobin washed, tidied and cleaned the kitchen, then washed his hands and went back to his room.
He was stunned when he entered the orderly's room downstairs.
ChanJun alone in that room, sitting in an empty chair in front of the table.
There is only one lamp on the table.
