Lin Yue turned his face and looked around, only to see a black shadow emerging from the left front of the alley, turning around on the green brick floor, and rushing towards their position.
"Eight meals."
He called from a distance.
The dog ran faster. Although his posture was a little ugly because of the injury to his right hind leg, his speed was not slower than that of a healthy dog.
Woof.
It almost threw Lin Yue to the ground, grabbed his chest with both feet, waggled its tail wildly, and licked fiercely. The intimacy was as intense as that of a long-lost relative.
Xiao Suizi said to her heart that when she was in the art troupe, Lin Yue wasn't very kind to her. She usually fed her some leftovers and even let her carry it when she was sick. Sometimes she would throw things at her. After the war broke out, she I took it to the battlefield, but ended up being shot by the enemy and getting a hole in its butt. After experiencing so many painful things, it actually didn't hold a grudge at all, and fully demonstrated the advantage of a dog that does not mind the family's poverty.
"Stop licking it, it's all saliva."
Lin Yue made a gesture of disgust and pushed the dog's head aside.
Badun bounced his four legs and turned left and right around the four people. It was obvious that he was very excited.
Xiao Suizi always felt a little strange. Counting the time, Badun must have been in his teens. He definitely deserved the adjective "old dog". However, judging from his current performance, except for the injury to his right hind leg, his walking posture was slightly Apart from being unnatural, it is not much different from ten years ago.
"Lin Yue, Lin Yue..."
At this time Liu Feng patted him on the shoulder and pointed forward.
Xiao Suizi turned around and looked around, only to see a man walking out of the place where Badun ran out just now. He was about sixty years old, with completely white hair. He was wearing a navy blue tunic suit and was holding a cane in his right hand. It seemed that his legs and feet were not very convenient. , presumably because he discovered something unusual in Badun and came out to check the situation.
They looked at the old man, and the old man looked at them.
Liu Feng introduced: "He is He Xiaoping's father, Zhu Bin, Mr. Zhu."
Lin Yue stood up and said something that surprised the two people behind him: "I know."
He walked quickly to the old man without explaining in detail.
"Uncle, do you still recognize me?"
"I recognize it, I recognize it..." Zhu Bin stretched out his hand tremblingly and grabbed his wrist. He was too excited and spoke incoherently: "Lin Yue, you are Lin Yue... Many people said that you sacrificed your life, but Xiaoping didn't believe it. , she said you will definitely come back, just like you brought me back to her... Sure enough, you did not disappoint her."
Lin Yue patted the back of his hand and said, "Don't get excited and speak slowly."
"Yes, yes, not excited, not excited." He said he was not excited, but his hands were shaking uncontrollably.
Lin Yue sighed in his heart, thinking that people had survived those tragic years, but the mental trauma could not be recovered quickly.
"Uncle, come, let me introduce to you. They are Xiaoping's comrades, Xiao Suizi and Hao Shuwen."
Liu Feng naturally needs no introduction.
Zhu Bin smiled and nodded to them.
Xiao Suizi couldn't hold it back and asked Liu Feng in a low voice: "How did he know He Xiaoping's father?"
"have no idea."
This is also what puzzles Liu Feng.
Zhu Bin came back in 1980, and Lin Yue disappeared in 1979. How could these two people intersect?
Lin Yue heard the question and answer between the two people, but there was no explanation.
Zhu Bin also heard the question and answer between the two people, and did not explain it, because after having that experience, he has now become very cautious and cautious, hiding all opinions and ideas that may cause controversy in his heart.
Why does he know Lin Yue? They had met a few years ago. According to Lin Yue, he was ordered by his superiors to go to the northwest to collect folk music in order to write a more popular military song that could inspire morale, because he heard Xiaoping talk about his So I took the time to clear up the relationship and got the opportunity to meet him.
Lin Yue not only brought him a photo of his daughter in military uniform, but more importantly, gave him hope to persevere. To put it bluntly, without him, the father and daughter might not even have a chance to meet.
This is why I was very excited after seeing Lin Yue. This kind of kindness can be said to be unrequited for their father and daughter.
"Uncle, I came to Beijing this time. Firstly, I wanted to come and see Xiaoping. Secondly, Hao Shuwen was a little stimulated during the war. The doctor said that more contact with her former comrades would help her recovery. "
"Xiao Ping..."
Zhu Bin was about to say that Xiaoping had gone to work and would be back in about half an hour, but he stopped mid-sentence because there was a person standing at the entrance of the alley.
"Lin... Yue?"
This call that seemed to contain infinite emotions reached his ears. Lin Yue turned around and saw a woman wearing a dark blue shirt with a butterfly pattern looking at him blankly.
"Xiao Ping."
He raised his hand and waved.
The girl opposite swayed slightly, threw the shoulder bag containing the tools on the ground, ran over as fast as she could, and ran into his arms.
"It's really you... I'm... not dreaming, am I?"
Her hands desperately grabbed and pulled Lin Yue's back, causing her clothes to become wrinkled.
Xiao Suizi and Liu Feng stood aside, saying nothing and not disturbing them, because they had the same mood and behavior when they saw him before.
Zhu Bin's eyes were a little red. Although he had only been back for a year, he knew very well how much his daughter cared about the man in front of him. He woke up from his sleep by calling his name countless times, sweating profusely and telling himself that he was not dead and would come back. I will definitely come back; I always prepare an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks when making dumplings during the holidays. From the beginning to the end of eating, I look at the door again and again. He also said that when he was in the art troupe, Lin Yue would set aside an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks every time during the holidays. He called her to the back kitchen to start a small stove and told her that her grandma didn’t care for her uncle at her stepfather’s place. She hid a piece of meat under the bowl and hid it under the quilt at night. What he did Just treat it as a good deed for God. What's even more interesting is that the two squad leaders in the cooking class accused Lin Yue of stealing because of this matter. After a final check, the amount of ingredients in the kitchen was not missing at all. Not only did those two people not make him stink. However, because he did not unite with his comrades, he always caused trouble for the chief of staff and had a bad influence. Finally, he was transferred to the logging company. Lin Yue naturally became the leader of the cooking squad. He also said that Wu Tong and Wang Lingzhi were stupid. Originally, the chief of staff was I like him, but those two people are so ignorant, fanning the flames, jumping up and down, they are just digging their own graves.
Seeing his daughter crying first and then laughing, smiling and then feeling sad, and unable to help wiping her tears while eating dumplings, Zhu Bin could understand how hard her life in the art troupe was. The one who took special care of their father and daughter How important is a man in a daughter's heart.
"This is the dress I just bought. It will break if I grab it again." Lin Yue patted her back: "Okay, your dad and Suizi are here. The neighbors in front were also alarmed. Please calm down. , if you have anything to say, go home and talk about it, okay?"
When He Xiaoping heard these words, her hands stopped grabbing her clothes, but she was still like that, without any reaction.
Zhu Bin said: "Lin Yue is right, there are many people outside, Xiaoping, if you have anything to say, go home and say it."
The two most important men in her life said so. She took a deep breath, wiped the tears from her face, slowly released her hand holding Lin Yue, adjusted her mood and greeted her comrades.
"Suizi, Hao...Shuwen."
Although she didn't know why Lin Yue brought her along, she knew that now was not the time to talk about this.
Finally, she looked at Liu Feng and smiled.
"Come on, let's talk inside." Zhu Bin pointed at the courtyard door with his crutch. His eyes passed through several people and fell on the middle-aged woman who heard the commotion outside and came out to watch the excitement.
He Xiaoping is 25 this year and has a good job. There are many people who want to introduce her to someone, but all the matchmakers who come to her door are kicked out by her without exception. There is a lot of discussion about this matter from the outside world. Anyway, there are not many good things to say. Now she Being so close to Lin Yue, you can imagine what kind of talkative talk it will bring to those talkative women. Just thinking about it is enough to give people a headache.
