The Road Home

Lu Yanchen was the last person to arrive at the factory.

Old rules, check before entering the field, turn in all personal belongings, and put on a uniform black combat uniform.

This is no better than the conditions of the base. Lu Yanchen considered that he should have no conditions to contact Gui Xiao every day, so he said good to Gui Xiao on the way. She has to send emails regularly, and he will look at them uniformly when conditions permit, and she has to keep a cell phone open at all times, and he will look for opportunities to talk to her as soon as he is free.

Everyone lives in a factory dormitory, a three-story dormitory building.

There are two people in a room, bunk bunk, bunk bunk, bunk bunk for sleeping, simple and simple like back to the past. About two months later, one night, Shen Lao, who was in the same room, had not slept yet. He asked for some peanuts in the cafeteria and drank it with white wine. When Lu Yanchen came in, he asked him to come and sit. The old man drank a little wine on the bedside desk.

Drinking while watching the open laptop on the table, there is a downloaded American drama.

He smiled at first sight, and before leaving home, Gui Xiao often looked at it.

The old man smiled when he saw his expression, “You young and young do not understand. Our country had a good relationship with the oldest brother of the Soviet Union. Everyone studied Russian. I didn’t expect that now, all of them speak English. You have to learn from the beginning, you just have to learn it, you have to be proficient, and you have to keep up with the times and understand the new words of others. See if this works. “

Shen Lao Chen said all these things.

Saying that it is not good to go out for communication is to shame the country. International support, you don’t have to be sloppy and troublesome.

The two looked at each other and smiled. Finally, Mr. Shen pointed to the screen on the computer screen: “I just don’t understand. Here, the big girls and young guys keep breaking up and pair freely. Every couple of episodes, they switch to each other. … The cultures are different and difficult to understand. “Shen said that it was the youngest niece of her own family who helped download it. I came to the factory without a few glances. I could n’t change it if I did n’t see anything right. I could only wait for one month. I will return to Beijing after the rest.

The next day it didn’t light up and someone knocked on the door.

Shen Lao went out in his coat, and came back after a while: “Sideway, you sleep a lot, you have dug out something in front of the minefield, I’ll go and see.”

When others got up, it was just dawning.

Because of a problem with the drainage pipe in the building, Lu Yanchen took a shower in the bathroom of the factory building and took a towel to wipe his hair. The person who brought Shen Laoji back in the morning was sweating. Seeing Lu Yanchen, he strode over, took a breath, and whispered, “People are gone.”

The water beads flowed down his face, and the cold water burned his chest.

Lu Yanchen settled for a moment, silently wiped his face, and threw off the remaining water drops.

I wanted to ask, didn’t ask a word, followed the people and went out.

At this time, construction has not started, and Gaochang’s open walk has an echo. When others step out of the iron gate, they face the rising sun, and their eyes are avoided.

With each inhalation, there was a heavy shock in the chest.

Later he arrived at the scene, and Shen Lao’s body had been sent away.

Without any delay, Lu Yanchen put on protective clothing, gestured, and took two new assistants into the minefield. After passing the bloodstain, there seemed to be laughter in the ears of the elderly: “This American There is something wrong with your view of love, and it is not good to be too open. “

A person who has no plans to marry and have children for his country, has his own set of standards for good love.

…

After completing the follow-up tasks, it was noon to return to the factory.

Lu Yan made a report early in the morning to go to the urban area. At this time, he was not in the mood, but he couldn’t help but hadn’t talked to Gui Xiao for two weeks. So he jumped into the car and drove into the town for more than two hours. The driver put Lu Yanchen at the end of the commercial street. In a place with a lot of people, there are many young people. Lu Yanchen felt that it was a bit abnormal to see so many students at this point in time. He took a look at his watch on Saturday. No wonder.

He went to the noodle shop, poured the cell phone and card out of the little black bag in the corner, and assembled it.

Type in the returning number and send a short message in the past: Call back empty. Lu Chen.

When Gui Xiao saw the text message, it was half an hour later that Qin Xiaonan brought her phone.

Since pregnancy, she has paid great attention to keep herself from getting sick, but she still caught a cold. On this day, a snot leaked out of her heart, and she was frightened. The main point is that the concept of being pregnant must not be taken is too deep, and there is no way to calm down. I hurriedly called my cousin and asked what to do if I was pregnant and caught a cold.

Her pregnancy is still a secret, and I didn’t dare tell too many people. After all, the title of “pregnancy before marriage” is hanging, and not everyone can understand it.

Gui Xiao is a girlfriend on the phone.

My cousin wasn’t suspicious. I asked her to cook with garlic and steamed sugar. By the way, she smiled and said that fortunately it was n’t Dawning. It ’s troublesome to know that she never touches garlic. Gui Xiao didn’t say anything. He went to the kitchen to stir it up. He drank two sips, almost stunned by garlic, and passed out for a minute. Instead, he gargle in the bathroom for ten minutes …

She also drank a mouthwash, chewing her cheeks to look in the mirror, seeing the text message, and took a sip of water into the pool.

Taking the phone over, the child blasted out and dialed back.

It’s no exaggeration. Before the call was connected, my heart was beating like a girl.

The thought of having to talk to “Lu Chen”, could not restrain his heart from shaking, his face was red-eared and hot …

Here, the space is quiet, the phone is obviously a lively place, and the environment is noisy. When it was connected, she was hearing a local dialect saying a word. According to pronunciation, it should be “your face”.

“Lu Chen.” She whispered his name.

“A cold?” He was keenly aware.

“A little,” Gui Xiaoqu raised his forefinger, knuckled his nose, and leaned on the edge of the sink. “Why do you have lunch so late?” There was a calm return: “It’s a bit of a business, it’s delayed.”

“Then you eat first, and then say … what noodles do you eat?”

“Lanzhou noodles.”

Gui Xiao listened with her ears up, and nothing happened.

“Can you eat a little louder?” You can’t see, you can hear.

…

The cell phone was resting on the table.

Really obedient, try to make yourself eat a little sound of noodles, that is, the background sound is too strong, all covered up. Some people are talking, some girls are laughing, and some people are educating their children.

The toilet was not air-permeable. She went out and saw Qin Xiaonan watching the anti-Japanese war film through the living room. She frowned at him and glanced upstairs, which meant that the boy was going to read a book. When she saw the child going upstairs, she entered the study and opened the window to breathe.

About three or four minutes later, Lu Yanchen picked up his mobile phone again: “If you have a cold, go to the doctor.”

“I can’t take medicine and don’t want to go to the hospital. What if I get infected with other diseases? I’ll just drink more hot water,” Gui Xiao pressed his elbow on the window sill, “Lu Chen?”

“Ok.”

“What are you wearing now?”

“White short-sleeved, camouflage shorts.”

“Is there a pattern on the short sleeves?”

“No.”

“How long is the hair now?”

“Same as in Beijing.”

“Is my beard shaved?”

“Ok.”

“Handsome?”

Lu Yanchen seemed helpless, but cooperated and said, “OK.”

“What’s okay,” Gui Xiao said with a little pride in his voice, “I’ve never seen anyone handsome than you.”

This time, the man on that end was really funny. All day long the haze was forcibly slit open, and the light that passed through it fell on the heart.

On this subject, she liked to discuss with him since she was young. It seems that she is particularly keen to emphasize falling in love with his face. This is a little fun between the two, of course, Lu Yanchen also asked her, can there be other advantages besides a face? Her answer was: a person who looks good is taking advantage of herself. She hit a hundred points when she first saw her. Unexpectedly, the more points you get, the more points you get, everything is good. In the end, you love 200% he.

If the baby is born to be as good-looking as him, then his contribution will be even greater, and 300% is unambiguous.

The two of them talked nonsense for a while, and Gui Xiao thought of the subject: “Lu Chen, you are too unreliable. I asked you to come back three months ago to receive your certificate … It’s all over. I’m really angry if you don’t come back.”

“In two days, this week,” he said categorically, “I must go back and you are ready.”

this week?

These two words alone are like igniting a bunch of small fireworks, splashing Mars to the bottom of my heart.

Gui Xiao couldn’t help but bit his lip and laughed, and his voice kept rejoicing: “Okay, I’m ready, all the documents are on my back. Once you land on the plane, we will go straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau. People It’s five o’clock, don’t be mistaken when you come back. “

He promised that it was time to meet the driver depending on the time.

Stayed here for five minutes and bought her a small gift.

To be honest, in addition to sending a mobile phone to Guixiao, and later wedding rings, he never bought her anything. The two were together and separated, and did not clear what she really liked. Instead, she saw a wall cabinet in her study. Hundreds of small grids were filled with various things, saying that they were brought back every time they traveled. . He remembered the size of the grid carefully, estimated the length, width, and height, and bought a set of mud dolls in national costumes. Each one was smiling, smiling as if to return.

Back to the factory, it was almost dusk.

Lu Yanchen beaten potato and bean peas from the cafeteria, two buns returned to the room, and he was stopped and shouted to the office on the way.

Inside, there were two leaders, all of them from the army, sitting side by side on the sofa, one person and one lunch box, eating. When Lu Yanchen came in, one pointed at his chair with his chin: “Eat while talking.”

Lu Yanchen pulled the chair and sat down. The three began to talk. Speaking from the memorial service of Shen Lao, after saying that it meant the people in Beijing base after all, they must go back to Beijing to drive away, and the body was sent away in two days. Then, he said again: “Two wounded and one dead within three months. The above means, let us two experts work together in a group, we can no longer bring two assistants by one person.” This is reasonable. As everyone knows, this will slow down the progress.

One day of delay, the other day of danger.

The original plan was to end all work in the fall. I am afraid that such a merger will be tossing into next year. After speaking in a few words, one of the quick-tempered leaders put the unfinished box lunch on the glass coffee table and turned it around twice: “So, let’s call someone and apply for more experts.”

Another smiled wearing glasses: “It’s not just us with a mission here in the country, how can you get so many experts?”

“Xiaolu, do you have any good suggestions?” The anxious temper leader looked at Lu Yanchen, and his eyes could become irritated.

Lu Yanchen drove half a bun and ate it with two bites.

In the brief silence, he was thinking, the other two were watching him.

“Lend it to me. I used to take an explosion-proof class. Although I don’t have such rich experience, I can still be used as half an expert.”

The quick-tempered patted the table and laughed: “I’ll wait for you! Tonight you first call your old leader to explain the situation and support it.”

Well, of course he knows that these two are waiting for this sentence.

If you report from the factory back to Beijing, you will have to wait for a few days to borrow one by one, but it will not necessarily be approved in the end, and you may not be able to get the right person after approval. After all, it was not easy to borrow from the front line. Erlianhaote also had to consider staffing issues. But it’s much faster to take the news from him. Which one is right? He knows best. How can we meet the needs here and ensure that the personnel distribution there is not affected? Still he knows best.

“No problem, I’ll borrow someone at night,” Lu Yanchen nodded. “I will go back to Beijing this week, it will take two days.”

The two leaders looked at each other and didn’t quite understand. This person who usually does not even need to take a break apart from having external phone calls, what is going on at home?

Lu Yanchen ate the last white-faced bun and slowly chewed it. After eating it thoroughly, he said, “My wife is pregnant for four months. I need to go back and get a certificate.” He paused and said, “Shen Lao has no son and has a good relationship with me. I sent him back this time and it was considered as the end of the hero’s coffin.”
