Gu Sileng happily left the office building and got into his jeep. He drove carefully all the way, walking neatly through the military camp, and soon arrived at his own camp. Back at the camp, the first thing he thought of was Natasha and he got out of the jeep. He jogged all the way back to his bedroom, turned on his computer, and called Natasha remotely on the computer. Well, the video was connected in a moment. Natasha didn't seem to be very energetic. She looked at Gu Sileng and said, "If anything makes you so excited, just call me over. I still have a lot of work." Gu Sileng said with a smile: " Good news, coming soon. I can already go to Peking University to study astronomy, which is my dream." Natasha said on the other end of the phone: "This is a good thing. But, you have to leave the army. ? Now you have the rank of colonel." Oh. Gu Sileng smiled and said: "Brother Yu said the same thing. He suggested that I keep my military rank first and not retire from the army. I can have some time to study for a doctorate. There is no problem." Natasha said with a smile: " What about your own thoughts? I know that being a soldier is not the career you want." Gu Sileng said seriously: "Indeed, being a soldier is not the career I want to pursue all the time. I just want to become a great person. astronomers. China has been deeply engaged in interstellar exploration for many years. Well. Some people have already immigrated to Mars. I think even if I can't be one of them, I want to make my research contribute to China's deep exploration. Space exploration goes further and goes out of the solar system. Finding habitable planets outside the solar system is my goal in life."
Natasha nodded and said: "Indeed, China now fully has such strength. Science and technology are just waiting for a group of people to realize it. In this way, not only China, but also the world can lead the world to explore the field of space. 1 Big step." Gu Sileng said: "Okay now, I can go to Beijing to study deep space exploration. Another good news is that in the learning stage, unlike the army, we can spend a lot of time. , you can also choose an internationally renowned school for joint research. In this way, I can go to Russia. Then go to your hometown of St. Petersburg, and we can happily spend a summer vacation together, or a year longer." Listen. When she spoke like this, Natasha screamed with joy: "That's really great, you know? I miss you so much now, I wish you could come over now. Well, long-distance relationships are really a torture. Okay, on the horse We don't have to suffer like this." Gu Sileng smiled and said: "Yes. There is still some time before school, so I will seize the time during this period. During this period, I will make some small achievements and then bring them to Peking University. Well. After all, my resume is complete. The country has preferential policies for officers who participated in the war against Japan. My tutor, Professor Liu Weichang, also said that I can study for a one-year master's degree without taking an exam. Then I can study directly PhD." Natasha said with envy: "China's policy is better."
The two chatted with each other for a while in the video, and then Natasha said that she really had to work. Then the two parties exchanged blessings and reluctantly hung up the phone. Gu Sileng is still intoxicated with the fact that he is about to study for a Ph.D., which has been his wish for many years. As a child on the grassland, his enlightenment person was Liu Weichang. Now Liu Weichang promised him to guide him in the study of astronomy, which made Gusileng very happy. He wanted to share this matter immediately. The first thing he thought of was Natasha, and he had already made a video call with Natasha. Then he wanted to tell Liu Tong and Tong Qiwu the news. He had to say goodbye to them. Think about it, not only taking care of so many years have passed. It’s been seven or eight years. Everyone is together. From school days to going to work and becoming a special forces officer. Then he participated in the war against Japan. This kind of experience is extremely valuable in any soldier's career. When personnel of the same period participated in the war against Japan. Most people lost their lives, but the rare thing is that all the members in this small dormitory are still alive. Only Wu Jingquan unfortunately lost his arm. But no matter what, everyone is lucky to be alive. After all, war does not pick people.
Gu Sileng. Thoughts were running through my mind, and I decided not to think too much. He got through the phone and said to Tong Qiwu and Liu Tong: "Brothers, um! Let's have a dinner together in the afternoon. I have something to tell you." Tong Qiwu said on the phone: "What's the matter with you kid?" If you want to say it, say it now, do you need to have a dinner party to say it? "Gu Sileng smiled and said: "Isn't this what I learned from you? Let's have some drinks and some food together in the evening and afternoon. Say it slowly, with a sense of ceremony. "Tong Qiwu said on the phone: "Get lost. Bullshit again. "Then he hung up the phone. Life in the military camp in the afternoon was not very busy, especially for such senior officers, who can handle their own affairs. Everyone dealt with the things at hand, and it felt like the time was not noticed. The passage of time. Finally, the sun was slowly approaching the horizon. It was time to eat, and several deputy commanders led the regiment into the cafeteria. They sang military songs, still. Maintaining the original spirit of this unit Established style.
Gu Sileng, Tong Qiwu and Liu Tong went to an elegant seat and sat down. Tong Qiwu also brought a bottle of Moutai. Liu Tong said: "Gu Sileng, we have known each other for many years. Why are you so mysterious? Tell us." Gu Sileng smiled, poured two cups of Tong Qiwu's Moutai, and said Drink first when you arrive. The three of them drank a ton of wine. Gu Sileng seemed a little sad and said: "Beijing Circle has retired. Bless him, he is married and has embarked on another chapter of life. Brother Yu went to Beijing to study for a Ph.D., and now there are only three of us in our dormitory. , are still in the military camp." Tong Qiwu said: "Isn't this bad?" Guzman said: "I am also going to study for a doctorate. From now on, you may be the only two people in the military camp." Liu Tong said: " It happened when I was studying for a PhD." Gu Sileng said: "I knew a professor from Peking University when I was very young, and he was my first teacher. I was determined to develop in astronomy. To national defense science and technology Studying in college and joining the army are all arranged by Brother Yu Ziyue, and this is not my ultimate goal." I heard what Gu Sileng said. The two people present were a little sad. They poured wine and drank in silence. Then he said: "Bless you anyway."
Friends can never run out of things to say. Especially after a few glasses of wine, the three people told each other their sadness about parting. Drinking wine one glass at a time. Food, bowl by bowl. It’s true that when you meet a close friend, a thousand cups of wine will be too little. Eventually everyone was almost drunk. After all, he was an officer, so he left the canteen before getting drunk. After walking out of the cafeteria, the three of them walked to their dormitories. The cool breeze blew along the way, and the alcohol was immediately blown away, and I felt quite sober. The moon is as bright as a disk in the sky, but there are not many stars visible. The moonlight pours down poetically like water, and the earth seems to be coated with a layer of mercury, shining brightly. Tong Qiwu stepped onto the path and thought that a path like this might only be taken a few times. If you leave the military camp in the future, there is a high chance that you will not come back again. Thinking that I wished I could take a few more steps, I finally returned to the dormitory. Fortunately, he was not drunk. He picked up the bracelet, huh! Dial Yu Zhufeng's phone number. Yu Zhufeng, who was on the other end of the phone, heard his voice and said, "I know about your Ph.D. program. There's already news, right?" Gu Sileng said, "You guessed it right. Indeed, I can do it right away." Go to Peking University." Well, Yu Zhufeng said: "Then you are very welcome. We will both be in Beijing by then and can take care of each other. According to my reasoning, there should be nothing wrong with you studying for a Ph.D. at Peking University. Question. After all, you are a hero returning from the battlefield."
Gu Sileng said: "Thank you, Brother Yu, for always caring about me, reminding me, and giving me another chance to pursue my ultimate dream in life." Yu Zhufeng said: "There, tell your mother and brother quickly, After all, they have cared about you for a long time." Gu Sileng smiled and said, "After all, I have forgotten the most important thing. It seems that I am not a good enough son." After that, he followed Yu. Zhu Feng said good night to each other. Hang up the phone. After receiving the call from Tamerlane, Tamerlane said: "Brother, do you have anything else to do so late?" Gu Sileng asked: "Has mom slept?" Tamerlane said: "Mom Already asleep. What do you want?" Gu Sileng said: "Your brother is going to Beijing to study for a doctorate soon, so I want to tell you. After my mother wakes up, you can tell him too. Timur said: "It is a good thing to study for a doctorate. I will tell my mother this happy news immediately. When she wakes up tomorrow morning." Then he smiled and said: "Then I know, Beijing is far away from our home." We are very close now, and we will see each other again soon. You have not contacted us since you participated in the war against Japan, which made us worried to death. Now you are fine, you don’t have to be in the army. In fact, for me, you can’t read It doesn’t matter if you have a doctorate. Anyway, you know brother, I have plenty of money now. Let’s do business together and develop in business, which seems much better than studying for a doctorate.” Gu Sileng said: “You can’t have such an idea. The pursuit of knowledge is also a goal of success in life. You cannot limit your goals to money. As you said, you already have enough money, so you also need to strengthen your spiritual wealth. You cannot be a full-fledged person. A nouveau riche who only thinks about money." Tamerlane said: "I know, I know. I also have my own ideas." Then he changed the subject and said: "What about sister-in-law Natasha? When will you officially get married? Getting married. Give me a nephew too." Gu Sileng said: "You kid, as long as you know how to say it, we will put our affairs on the agenda ourselves, so you don't have to worry about it. That's it," the two said good night to each other. After that, each fell asleep.
As a few days passed, Gu Sileng was perfecting the last things he should do in the military camp, collecting bits and pieces of memories, and preparing to make final preparations for leaving the military camp. Here he also learned some notes on astronomy knowledge, sorted them out and uploaded them to his personal space. Make a photo album of some photos taken during the battle in Japan, as well as those comrades in the army and Liu Tong. Tong Qiwu, General Yu Ziyue, personal photos, bit by bit. Gu Sileng did it very carefully. Finally after almost a week of busy work. It's time to say goodbye to everyone. After Gu Sileng said goodbye to everyone, he walked out of the military camp. At this time, he felt relaxed, got into a self-driving taxi, and came to the train station. Got on the train at the train station. There were many people in the train, but it was unusually quiet. People don't. There were too many conversations, some of them hurriedly looking at the scenery outside the window, some of them lowering their heads and listening to music, and most of them thinking that their lives were like this journey, and they didn't know the direction of the future. Gu Sileng was on the train. After a while the train started heading towards Beijing. I don’t know how many hours it took, but the train finally arrived in Beijing. You have just been to Beijing. This is your second time this month. He is very familiar with this time.
Wu Jingquan's car was already outside, and Yu Zhufeng was also traveling with him. The two of them took Gu Sileng into the car. Then drive towards places like Cuiwei Yanyu Park and Yang Lisa’s villa. Along the way, cars came and went, and people continued to flow. The car was speeding through the traffic, and after a while it turned several lefts and finally arrived at Yang Lisa's villa in Cuiwei Yanyu Park. Several people came down, looking at each other and laughing. There is no Wei Yanmei in the villa. She has gone to work at the National University of Defense Technology. The three good friends took out the wine from the refrigerator and the dishes prepared on the table, and talked freely. Feeling depressed after a few glasses of wine is like opening too many folders and talking too much. Yu Zhufeng said first: "I have arrived at Xishan. I am already studying at the Academy of Military Science of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. After hearing this, the two congratulated Zhufeng. Yu Zhufeng said: "You go to Peking University immediately. Not bad. When I have the opportunity, I also want to take a look at the library of Peking University. After all, it is quite famous there. Gu Sileng said: "Very good, one more thing. Don't forget to agree that you two will go to Inner Mongolia in the winter. Our Inner Mongolia's meat is first-rate." good. The sheep on the prairie are fat and strong. It tastes absolutely nourishing during the winter festival. When they heard about it, they laughed and said, "I will definitely go to Inner Mongolia, taste the meat on the grassland, and meet Aunt Gerle and your brother Timur." We all know that Timur discovered the tomb of Genghis Khan, which is considered a legend among our generation. Gu Sileng laughed and said, "It's nothing. He's just a kid. It's just luck." The two said: "Well, so many people around the world are looking for Genghis Khan's tomb. It has not been discovered for more than a thousand years, but it was discovered by your family. It cannot be simply said to be just luck." "
The three of them chatted happily. Talking about some strange things. For the banquet, add some stories first. In the end, all the food and wine were poured out on the table. The wine in the bottle dripped to the ground drop by drop. The dishes on the table are still steaming. Three great men. Lying on the chair casually, unrestrained. This feeling is really great. All three entered in a moment. Subtle dreams. Looks a little drunk. The sun has slowly approached the horizon. The sunset at dusk is very beautiful. The sun shines through the window. The temperature in the room was warm. Gu Sileng, because he was in a semi-awake state. For a moment I thought of the magnificent prairie. Then I thought of it again. A battlefield filled with artillery fire. He seemed to be trying to grab something with his hands. Yu Zhufeng and Wu Jingquan also fell asleep drowsily. The housekeepers and servants in the villa did not dare to disturb them. Just like that, when the time came to 9:00, everyone finally woke up. He returned to the bedroom. Fell asleep.
The weather was nice the next day, with the sun rising above the horizon early in the morning. The sun brings a warm glow. The whole land seemed full of life. The birds in Cuiwei Yanyu Park are flying. Gu Sileng got up and did some morning exercises. This is a custom in the military camp. Wash yourself well. After breakfast we drove a car. Drive all the way to Peking University. The briefcase that I carry with me carries all kinds of prepared information. He was very excited. We are about to meet Professor Liu Weichang. That was when I was a kid. In the vast prairie of Inner Mongolia. A Mongolian child of several years old. I met Liu Weichang who went to the prairie of Inner Mongolia to watch the meteor shower. An agreement was made between the two. It's been almost 30 years now. How can the thought of this not be exciting? Finally came to Peking University. After parking the car, we walked for a long time in Peking University. We arrived at the astronomy department building. Found Professor Liu Weichang’s office. Knocked on the door and went in. Sitting inside was a slightly fat man. A middle-aged and elderly man in his 50s. Wearing glasses, he looked at Gu Sileng who came in and said: "Who are you and what do you want from me?" Gu Sileng said: "Professor Liu Weichang is me, and I am Gu Sileng. It has been almost 30 years. Before that We have met in the Inner Mongolia prairie." Liu Weichang heard the ancient poet's words and stood up. He smiled and said: "Time flies so fast. I never imagined that that little boy is now an all-powerful soldier. It is not bad, it is the wealth of the country." Gu Sileng said with a smile: "I have always wanted to read a book in your name. Doctor." He said with a military salute.
