The Secret of Military Marriage Scottish Fold Cat Chapter 65

On the second day after returning from the cemetery, snowflakes started to fall in the sky again. The bone-chilling chill and the muddy and rugged road not only caused some trouble for Yan Zhen, who was about to embark on his return journey, but also gave him two months of hard work. Returning to school caused great difficulties for students who returned home once.

When encountering this kind of weather, school teachers will start clearing the main roads from the school to the towns a few days in advance to facilitate traffic. But this time, heavy snow fell suddenly before the cleaning was completed, which made school work more difficult. Manpower was suddenly in short supply, and Yan Zhen also joined as a reserve staff.

After meeting his parents and fulfilling a wish, Yan Zhen felt quite relaxed these days and was very motivated to work. However, the teacher in charge of arranging Tibetan aid teachers at the school was a little embarrassed. , because as far as she knew, this young female teacher was not included in the establishment.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Yan Zhen smiled and shook his head while putting on a pair of thicker gloves. His fingers were wrapped in thick down, which kept him warm. The intention spreads from the palm of the hand.

The road was basically flat, and the teachers finished their work and returned to school smoothly. The leading teacher specifically stopped Yan Zhen and said he had something to tell her.

"Is something wrong, Director Xu?"

The team leader, Director Xu, hesitated to speak: "It's like this Xiao Yan, there are too few teachers in our team, and some teachers Classes are almost full every day, I thought, if you are not in a hurry to go back, you can help teach the class?"

"Teach the class?"

Director Xu thought she was not If he was willing, he hurriedly said: "There are only two weeks. Then a team of teachers from other schools will come, so that the time can be arranged."

Yan Zhen pondered for a moment, and suddenly heard someone at the school gate. Call her name.

The Tibetan female teacher in the office smiled and waved to her: "Teacher Yan, you have a phone call from home!"

Home phone number?

Yan Zhen was startled for a moment when he heard Director Xu say: "I won't bother you to answer the phone, but you have to think about it."

Yan Zhen smiled He smiled and said yes.

The office was empty, and the microphone was half on the table. Yan Zhen hesitated for a while before picking up the phone.

Putting the microphone to your ear, you can clearly hear the light and even breathing coming from the other end through the radio waves. After waiting for so long, the man is still not impatient. In contrast, she was extremely nervous. Even if she didn't run, her heart was beating very fast, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

With his keen ears, he had already heard, "Yan Zhen?"

"Yes, it's me!" Even the hoarse voice couldn't hide the tone. He was so anxious, as if he was afraid that the person over there would hang up the phone if he didn't get a response. After blurting out his words, even Yan Zhen was startled by him and hurriedly covered his mouth.

The person on the other end was also stunned for a moment. After a while, a low laughter came over, which also made her feel relieved and gradually restored her steady heartbeat.

"Is it cold?"

"Not cold." As he spoke, he subconsciously pinched a corner of his coat. He looked at the students lining up outside the gate and hesitated what to say. What, "How is your foot recovering?"

"Not bad." Gu Huaiyue said, his eyes falling on the soldiers running past the window.

"That's good."

His tone was extremely calm. She hesitated, not knowing how to talk to him. She was in front of her parents' graves that day with so many thoughts on her mind, and she thought about telling him one day. But now, standing here, many thoughts were running through her mind, but she couldn't say them out. Because whenever she thought of the big fuss he had made after talking to the old man that day, she felt as if nothing she said was right.

In the end, it was Gu Huaiyue who spoke up to break the silence, leaving her no longer confused.

"Yan Zhen."

"Huh?"

He held the microphone tightly, paused, and then asked: "When will you be back?"

Actually, he wanted to ask at the beginning of this sentence, but he was afraid of embarrassing her. However, even if he asked now, he didn't know what to do.

"Can you wait another two weeks?" She finally said, "Wait another two weeks, and I will definitely go back."

Gu Huaiyue felt very complicated when he heard this answer. A little happy because she promised to return. She felt a little disappointed because she still needed time. But even so, he couldn't bear to rush her. He was silent for a long time and said to her in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Two weeks is not a long time. For the soldiers fighting, it can even be said to be fleeting. In a blink of an eye, Division A’s annual assessment came.

At the assessment site, Gu Huaiyue drove an open jeep alone behind a long line of armored vehicles. These vehicles were filled with soldiers who were about to take the assessment. Along the way, he had encountered several The cadres knew that this was part of the assessment, and they could only order all the soldiers to keep vigilance at their firing ports at all times. When encountering enemies, they would shoot them down without mercy. .

Gu Huaiyue just watched all this with cold eyes, turning a deaf ear to the complaints coming from the walkie-talkie, "This is not an assessment, this is simply actual combat!" He stepped on the accelerator, and the jeep sped away quickly. This group of armored vehicles drove by on one side, completely unaware that a sneaky little Jeep was following behind.

When he arrived at the designated assessment location, a company had already begun to assess the subject of nuclear bomb shooting. Gu Huaiyue stood on the commanding heights in the distance and observed the shooting situation with a telescope. As soon as he loosened his hand a little, the telescope was The person who suddenly appeared around him was snatched away.

He tilted his head and narrowed his eyes at this person who should not have appeared in the A Division examination site.

Colonel Shen Mengchuan, on the other hand, raised the telescope with a leisurely expression and looked around the surroundings through the tube. "Assessment time: unknown. Soldiers are on standby at any time. As soon as the emergency assembly whistle blows, Deploy immediately. Assessment location: Unknown, any area that can allow the enemy to kill you can be considered. Assessment subjects: Unknown, all subjects that can drive the enemy back to his home base are included. ”

Gu Huaiyue clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly: "What, you have an opinion?"

"How can you?" Shen Mengchuan smiled and returned the telescope to him, "But if you do this, you are not afraid of the teacher. Someone scolded you?"

"This is called a test of combat readiness." Shen Mengchuan laughed three times after hearing this: "I guess those people who are reluctant to let you go are all upset now. I'm sorry. Don't sound so noble. Don't you have nowhere to vent your unhappiness? I'll tell you for you, brother!" After Shen Mengchuan finished speaking, he finally got it. Gu Huaiyue looked at him seriously. But he just glanced at it, and then walked past him to get a drink of water under the awning set up at odd hours behind him, and then threw a bottle to Shen Mengchuan.

After rinsing his mouth with water, Shen Mengchuan looked at Gu Huaiyue and asked, "Hey, are you really waiting here for your wife to come back?"

Gu was drinking water. Huaiyue choked, and he simply wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and said, "What else should I do?"

Shen Mengchuan immediately put on a look of hatred for iron and steel, "I really don't know you. How did you deceive your wife? This EQ is almost negative!"

Gu Huaiyue glanced at him and said, "Get some useful information."

Co-authored by this man. Because he thought he was talking too much nonsense, Shen Mengchuan was so angry that he took another sip of water, "Chief of Staff Gu, a grown man should take the initiative when he should take the initiative! If you have been lurking for a long time, you have to attack, otherwise you will wait in vain!" After speaking, he looked at Gu Huaiyue and said, "How is it?"

Gu Huaiyue said nothing after hearing this, as if he was thinking.

Shen Mengchuan was quite pleased. It seemed that he had not reached the point where "rotten wood cannot be carved". After patting him on the shoulder, Colonel Shen left first.

Two weeks is not a short period of time. For a teacher who stands on the podium every day and lectures to students, two weeks of class is enough to make her voice hoarse and unable to speak. After a day of classes, Yan Zhen returned to the dormitory and had just taken a sip of water when he received the good news from Director Xu. The new batch of Tibetan aid teachers had adapted to the weather in Jiali and would be ready to start work after this weekend. And substitute teacher Yan Zhen can pack her things and get ready to go home!

Go home!

This word made her stunned for a moment. After realizing it, she put on her coat and walked out happily, heading straight to the office. She wanted to call home! But when he was only a few feet away from the office, Yan Zhen stopped, thought for a while, then turned around and walked back. This made Director Xu, who was following along, a little puzzled.

"Why did you go back again?"

"No fight."

"Why didn't you fight?"

Yan Zhen He smiled and said nothing, his cheeks turning a light red because he walked too fast. There was no particular reason, and she was afraid it would make people laugh if she told her. She was just curious about what kind of expression he would have if she appeared in front of him like this.

In the past few days, the weather in Jiali can be said to be the mildest since the beginning of winter. Yan Zhen picked the warmest day and got on a bus from Jiali County back to Naqu. The warm sunshine came in, and for the first time in so many years on the plateau, I felt how beautiful it was here. Wrapping up his coat, Yan Zhen slowly closed his eyes as he listened to the driver honking the horn to clear the way.

She was getting closer and closer to home

At the same time, the horn sounded from Division A far away in City B. This bugle is blown for new recruits. Today is their first day of enlistment, and their military careers begin with this bugle.

Unlike the boiling training ground, there was silence in the division headquarters building. Gu Huaiyue walked downstairs with his hat and stopped when he passed the military mirror.

He stood there and looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing a neat army uniform, a pair of collar flowers at the collar that looked particularly shiny in the light, and a pair of epaulettes on his shoulders. He put his hat straightly on his head and adjusted the epaulettes.

It finally looks perfect.

Looking at those epaulettes, he couldn't help but think of the recruits who were listening to the squad leader's instructions on the training ground with eyes that were either confused or expectant. On the military uniforms issued to them, the position for the epaulettes is still vacant. Only two months later, after they successfully pass the first assessment of the army, will they be qualified to wear such a pair of epaulettes and become a military officer. A true soldier.

No, even if they are awarded the title, they still have a long way to go. When walking on this road, you have to give up some things, and at the same time, you also gain something.

Just like himself. Up to now, he can no longer remember what he gave up. It was too much. He just needs to remember that he has to persist and get what he wants. That is the most precious thing.

After coming back to his senses, Gu Huaiyue turned around and walked out.

A jeep was parked outside the division headquarters building. The driver probably had just been transferred from below and had never driven for the commander before. He stood uneasily at the door with the car key in hand.

Gu Huaiyue glanced at him and asked, "Can you drive the car to Tibet?"

The young soldier immediately shook his head in fear.

Gu Huaiyue smiled and stepped into the car: "Take me to the airport."

The driver quickly got into the car, and after a few steps out of the camp, he suddenly I started to brake hard.

Gu Huaiyue frowned: "What's going on?"

The driver who had a bad start turned his head in mourning: "Chief of Staff, someone is blocking the car."

< p>It was the sentry on guard, and he saluted him through the half-lowered car window: "Chief of Staff, the military phone number, the correspondent has called you at the gate."

Gu Huaiyue was provocative. Eyebrow, "Why was the call transferred to the gate?"

The sentry said sternly: "It's from the Nagqu Military Division. It's said to be urgent. The correspondent said that if your car happened to be at the gate, he would call it to you. Turned around."

Nakqu Military Division?

Gu Huai suddenly thought about it and strode into the monitoring room to answer the phone. The person on the other end was Director Li.

"Is something wrong?"

Director Li's voice was a little urgent and was blown intermittently by the wind. "I went to school to see Teacher Yan today. My colleague said that she just sat down this morning. Get on the bus back to Naqu!"

Gu Huaiyue asked almost uncontrollably: "Is she back?"

Director Li responded, but before Gu Huai could As he was getting more and more happy, Director Li's words poured cold water on him: "But there was news from the front that an avalanche occurred in the Linzhi area today. It is said that the bus also passed through Linzhi. Calculating the time, it happened to be the time when the avalanche happened. At that time..."

Gu Huaiyue was startled for a moment, but his hand holding the receiver became tighter and harder, so hard that the sentry waiting on the side had to remind him: "Staff Long——"

He seemed to have just come to his senses, and turned his head to look at the sentry. Under his gaze, the sentry's voice became smaller and smaller: "If you hold the phone again, you will break it. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in front of him turned his head decisively and said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Can I contact her?"

"Can't be contacted. But don't worry, the Linzhi Prefectural Committee has begun to organize a rescue team. I'm also going to find a car to go and have a look -"

"No need."

< p>Three short words, cutting off the conversation. Director Li still couldn't react: "Huh?"

"I'll go there."

Those three short words again, and the rest was a quick beep. Voice.

Although the Linzhi Prefectural Committee and the Department of Transportation have begun rescue operations, there are still more vehicles to block. Looking at the congested motorcade in front and behind, Yan Zhen came back to his senses and burrowed into his military coat. She woke up in the snow and was in a daze for a while before she remembered what had happened. Two hours ago, the bus they took set off from Jiali back to Nagqu. Unfortunately, it encountered an avalanche when passing through Linzhi, and they were trapped here. They have been trapped for almost half an hour now. The car was stuck in the snow at an elevation angle of more than 30 degrees. Under the car was hard snow packed by the chassis, and the roof was also covered with a thick layer of snow. Fortunately, this is the passage area of ​​the avalanche, so the entire car will not be crushed.

Yan Zhen was sitting at the back. She didn’t know how others were doing. She could vaguely hear the driver’s shout. Because someone tried to escape by smashing the window, the result was that snow poured into the car, and all the people in the car were buried here. Gradually, there was an argument. Yan Zhen shook his head and hid in his coat, unwilling to listen.

If you can't get out, even if you smash the windows, you might as well build up your strength while the snow doesn't collapse the roof of the car, and use it to escape later.

Thinking of this, the corner of her mouth gently pulled into a smile. She couldn't help but admire herself for being able to smile at this time.

"Auntie, don't you feel cold? Why are you still smiling?" A young female voice sounded next to her.

Yan Zhen looked over and met a pair of crystal bright black pupils.

This is a little girl under the age of ten who traveled to Tibet with her parents and encountered this avalanche on the way. She was originally sitting by the window, but the window was damaged by snow, so she squeezed in next to Yan Zhen.

Yan Zhen stared at her, then opened the coat wrapped around her body and wrapped her in: "Do you have any good memories?" she asked, some donkey heads are wrong.

The girl was stunned for a moment, then rolled her big black eyes and said crisply: "Yes!"

"Auntie has it too." She said, "I laughed just now , just because I think of these beautiful memories.”

“Huh?” The girl obviously didn’t understand.

Yan Zhen chuckled and rested her head on the car seat. It was getting colder and colder, but her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. She wanted to gently rub the girl's little head and say, "Because someone once told me that a person with many memories will only feel the long-lost warmth when he is immersed in the memories." But she opened her mouth, I found that my upper and lower teeth were chattering and I couldn't say a complete sentence. I could only hear the little girl's persistent questioning.

"Then what good memories do you have?"

What are they? She had to think about this, think about it...

It was like having a dream. The scenes in the dream that she tried to recall were all connected in series, and flowed through her mind like a revolving lantern. It flashed by, and any one she picked out was enough for her to recall for a long time. She dreamed about her grandma, then about her children, and then about her biological father, the young soldier who died in the avalanche. In the dream, she actually talked to him, and her father told her that he was leaving with peace of mind, because the child had been entrusted to his most trusted comrade, and he would also accompany his wife.

What about her? She has to live, because she still has a home, a grandma, a child, and him——

Thinking of this, Yan Zhen struggled to wake up, but the moment he opened his eyes, A white light pierced her eyes. In her daze, she thought she was buried in a snow pit, and she couldn't help but huddle up, hiding in a thick military coat to keep warm, until a pair of warm hands grabbed her hands——

This The warm feeling was so unreal that Yan Zhen opened her eyes involuntarily, and the owner of the hands obviously noticed her attempt. The palms of her hands bulged to protect her eyes from being stung by the sun when she opened them. .

So when Yan Zhen opened his eyes, what he saw was a pair of eyes like that. A pair of deep, tired, yet gentle eyes, which looked at her momentarily. She blinked and he blinked. She was in a daze and he just stared at her, like a mirror.

The mirror knew who she wanted, so she brought him to her.

Yan Zhen couldn't help but stretched out his hand, wanting to explore the reality, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he held it.

"Don't move, you are getting an infusion."

Even the voice is exactly the same! Yan Zhen sat up in shock, but she didn't have any strength in her body, so she could only let him frown and hold her right hand with the needle in it.

"Bleeding." He frowned and looked at the needle that came out, thinking about going out and calling a doctor. But before he could turn around, he was hugged by the weak woman in front of him.

"Don't go..."

As if afraid that he would disappear, Yan Zhen hugged him hard and used a hoarse voice to persuade him to stay.

Gu Huaiyue was stunned for a moment, then he hugged her back tightly and coaxed her softly against the top of her hair: "I won't leave."

Where is he? Don't leave, just wait for her here.

She just held him like this, but after all, she was physically weak, and her hands gradually relaxed after a while. Gu Huaiyue quickly let go of her, laid her down and called the doctor. The needle that originally inserted into the vein came out and had to be inserted again. Yan Zhen just blinked and watched him and the nurse busy, and fell asleep while watching.

She was too tired and had not had much rest during the two weeks in Jiali. After finishing the substitute lesson, all I wanted to do was go home, but I didn't expect to encounter an avalanche halfway, and my life was almost lost there.

Fortunately, the rescue team arrived in time and lifted the big truck out of the snow. Many people were already frozen, so the rescue team did not dare to delay at all and sent it directly to the large hospital in Lhasa.

When Gu Huaiyue arrived, the first aid had been completed and Yan Zhen was out of danger. He has almost forgotten most of the panic situation. He has forgotten how anxious he felt when he received a call from Director Li saying that she was being sent to Lhasa, and he has also forgotten how restless he was on the plane from B City to Lhasa. , I just remember standing at the door of the ward and exhaling a long breath. His whole body felt like it was being hollowed out. His whole body was already soaked. In such weather, all he could feel was the biting chill. He really didn't want to think about this feeling again.

Fortunately, she is fine.

Yan Zhen slept for a long time, but she slept peacefully. She didn't wake up until the next day. It was a sunny morning when she woke up, and the curtains in the ward were half-opened, so she didn't feel dazzling when she opened her eyes. He rolled his eyes and looked around, only to find that the room was empty.

She couldn't help but lift the quilt covering her body and get out of bed.

That shouldn’t be the case. She clearly saw him, so why was he gone again now? Yan Zhen murmured to herself until she saw the green military uniform hanging on the underwear rack in the ward.

Brilliant collar flower, two-bar and four-star epaulette. Sure enough, he was still there. Yan Zhen was holding the military uniform with a sore nose.

Suddenly the door creaked and Gu Huaiyue walked in from the outside carrying a thermos bucket. He was stunned when he saw Yan Zhen and saw her standing stupidly holding her coat. It was there that I suddenly understood.

He walked over, hugged her shoulders and smiled softly: "I'm not leaving, I'm going to buy you porridge."

Yan Zhen responded by hugging her. Him, because only in this way can she feel that sense of security.

She is finally back.

The doctor said she was weak and needed to recuperate. Gu Huaiyue really stayed with her to recuperate here. Yan Zhen refused several times when he asked to go back. The reason was that he would wait until she was almost recovered before transferring to another hospital, which was exactly the same as how she had taken care of him at the beginning.

Yan Zhen also asked about the old man, old lady, children and grandma, but he reassured her on the grounds that they were too far away to visit and told them on the phone that everything was fine.

As time passed, Yan Zhen stopped asking, but some things still lingered in her heart. She wanted to tell him, but she didn't know how to talk about it.

The stalemate continued until the day before she returned to City B. She was lying on the hospital bed tossing and turning in the middle of the night, then simply got out of bed and walked slowly in the empty ward.

Although I lived in a single room, the nursing conditions in the ward were not very good. A folded bed could only accommodate her, and Gu Huaiyue, a tall man about 1.8 meters tall, just made do with it and slept on it. Yan Zhen stood still in front of his bed and reached out to tuck him in. The weather in Lhasa was getting colder and colder. Even if there was a heater in the ward, it couldn't withstand the sudden drop in temperature in the middle of the night.

Suddenly the man on the bed moved, and before she could take her hand back, he held her hand in reverse.

Yan Zhen was slightly surprised: "Did I disturb you?"

Gu Huaiyue shook his head. Originally, he could not sleep deeply while lying on such a bed, but as soon as she got out of bed, he Wake up.

He sat up in the darkness and frowned when he saw her wearing a thin hospital gown: "You dare to get out of bed wearing so little. I think you don't want to go back tomorrow."

As he spoke, he picked up the military jacket hanging aside and wrapped it around her, so that her whole body was hugged by him. Yan Zhen just looked at him blankly.

"What's wrong?" Gu Huai smoothed her long hair and asked in a low voice.

"I'll go home tomorrow."

"Well, I'll go home tomorrow."

"But I'm a little scared." Yan Zhen blinked. , said suddenly.

"What are you afraid of?"

"I don't know." She lowered her head and rested her head on his shoulder, "It's like you have to go home if you do something wrong at school. It’s the same as for parents.”

He suddenly laughed, “Have you already faced it?”

“Who?”

"Me." Gu Huaiyue said, "The old man said that the person you least know how to face is me. Now that I am here, everything is fine, what are you afraid of?"

Yan I was really stunned, "I thought you were still angry." After talking to the old man that day, he got so angry.

"Why do you think I am angry? Angry that your motives were not pure when you got married? Angry that you were hiding something? Comrade Yan Zhen." Gu Huaiyue laughed more, but had to pretend to be serious and call her " Name, "If you want to talk about motives, wouldn't I be less pure?"

"It's more than that." She said with a dull head.

"Okay, I admit, I'm a little angry." Gu Huaiyue sighed and said, "But what I'm angry about is that you suffered so many wrongs when I didn't know it, but when I After knowing that you have to bear these grievances by yourself, why do you have to fight alone when it is your turn? "

Such an accusation was already harsh to Gu Huaiyue. Yan Zhen also understood. She lowered her head and grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "I know, but I don't want to involve you anymore." She didn't want to herself. When she thinks about this matter again in the future, she will feel guilty about him. She knows that he doesn't care, but the knot in her heart is tied by her own. She has to untie it by herself, because it is not just him, there are others. She cares about the people she cares about. "I just want to be with you well after all this is over."

In fact, she felt a little regretful standing in front of her parents' graves. Looking at the two tombstones standing side by side, she felt helpless. She was envious. Wouldn't it be even happier if she could have a pair of hands that she could hold at this moment?

But now she doesn’t have to be envious. Because there was a pair of hands holding hers.

"I understand." Gu Huaiyue laughed softly. The old man told him so much in the ward that day. If he didn't understand it, his hard work would have been in vain. "The old man said that I was selfish. He said that you have been waiting for me all this time. If I wait for you this time, I will stop. Then I thought about it and it was really like that. So no matter how long it takes this time, I will wait." As he spoke, he raised his head and looked seriously into her eyes, "But Yan Zhen, there is one thing I have to let you understand. People who have experienced life and death will not care about anything easily, but if you really want to have something, "What, I can't let go."

Of course she understood, but she just couldn't believe it, so he grabbed her hand and told her again. : "I care about you. I love you."

This is the first time he said these three words. At the first wedding, he said that what he said to Lin Ke was "I do." He is willing to take on the responsibility of a husband and protect and love her. But now, what he is saying is I love you. There is no wedding and no witnesses, but the meaning of these three words is enough to encompass everything.

Yan Zhen couldn't help but cover his mouth, cried, and then laughed. In a choked and hoarse voice, she said three words: "Me too."

Standing in front of her parents' graves, she once thought about a question, what is happiness.

If you ask a hundred people for this answer, you may get a hundred different answers, and now she also has an answer.

Her happiness is difficult and plain, but it is sincere and long-lasting.

(End)
