Li Zheng never expected that he would dream of becoming a soldier, but before he could become a soldier, he first became the boyfriend of a soldier's daughter.
What he didn't expect even more was that it seemed that Shao Xiaoqian's father was no ordinary soldier.
The reason why Yan'an Road is called Yan'an Road has its own intrinsic meaning. Before the liberation, it was not called Yan'an Road. It was renamed after the liberation. It was the command center of the troops that liberated the city. It was the number one of several platoons in the history of the Republic's army. Generals once lived here and commanded their thousands of troops.
Today, this is the headquarters of the local garrison, and only senior cadres of the headquarters live here.
This issue……
Well……
Li Zheng felt his calves were a little sore for no reason, and couldn't help but stop and rub his thighs.
Shao Xiaoqian chuckled: "Are your legs weak?"
Li Zheng quickly stood up straight, straightened his psoas muscles and emboldened himself: "What's the matter? I haven't seen anything before, and why are you afraid of seeing your dad?"
But after a pause, he couldn't help but ask: "Is your father the chief?"
Hearing this, Shao Xiaoqian laughed again: "My dad doesn't like others to call him that. Don't call him that later. Just call him uncle."
Li Zheng said: "Okay."
Shao Xiaoqian suddenly asked for no reason: "What do you think about college students becoming soldiers?"
Li Zheng felt something was wrong, why did he ask Duan Duan about being a soldier.
"What do you think? No idea. In fact, I want to be a soldier myself."
When Shao Xiaoqian heard this, she smiled slightly and said, "Then...if you secretly sign up to be a soldier without telling the person you like, do you think you should be angry?"
Li Zheng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he was discovered about signing up to be a soldier?
I wanted to find a suitable opportunity to tell Shao Xiaoqian solemnly, but I couldn't hide it anyway, so I ended up betraying her in advance.
Shao Xiaoqian's eyes fell on Li Zheng's face, as if she wanted to see some clues.
Li Zheng couldn't hold himself any longer. I thought that saying it sooner or later would mean that an ugly daughter-in-law would always have to meet her parents-in-law, so she thought: "Xiaoqian, actually I decided to join the army this year, and I have already gone to the school recruitment office to sign up. I wanted to find some time to do this." Let me tell you..."
"You want to be a soldier too?!"
Before he could finish speaking, Shao Xiaoqian interrupted Li Zheng in surprise.
Li Zheng nodded guiltily: "Yes..."
Suddenly he frowned: "Huh? What did you just say? You want to be a soldier too?"
He found that Shao Xiaoqian used the word "ye".
Also join the army?
Shao Xiaoqian's face overflowed with unconcealable happiness, flowing like honey: "Do you know why I asked you to come to my house for dinner today?"
Li Zheng said: "Confirming our relationship will allow me to pass the test of my future father-in-law and mother-in-law, won't it?"
Shao Xiaoqian said: "That's just one of the reasons."
Li Zheng was dumbfounded: "Huh?"
Shao Xiaoqian laughed again, her laughter was like a lark in the woods in spring.
"Actually, there is one more thing I want to announce tonight, because I also signed up today. I want to take you to meet my parents before joining the army."
Li Zheng hasn't come back to his senses yet: "Sign up? What name do you sign up for?"
Shao Xiaoqian playfully stretched out her hand and pinched Li Zheng's nose, and said coquettishly: "I'm going to be a soldier too! Idiot!"
Soldier?
My girlfriend is actually going to join the military this year?
The news announced by Shao Xiaoqian made Li Zheng suddenly feel dizzy with happiness.
But when I think about it, it's not surprising at all. Shao Xiaoqian is a descendant of soldiers.
What more explanation is needed to become a soldier?
Isn't this the legendary telepathy?
Shao Xiaoqian suddenly said softly: "Li Zheng, I will serve as a soldier for at least two years. Two years is not long or short. Are you willing to wait for me?"
Li Zhengmu is dead.
this……
This should be my own line!
Why was it robbed again?
When I'm with Shao Xiaoqian, I always seem to be the passive one.
But being passive is passive, and this kind of passivity feels really good.
"I do!" Li Zheng felt that his blood was running twice as fast in his body as usual, and his tongue could not suppress a little trembling.
To be solemn, he also raised his right hand: "I am absolutely willing! I swear!"
Shao Xiaoqian said: "Okay, Comrade Li Zheng, then we will be comrades-in-arms from now on!"
Li Zheng has not yet recovered: "Comrade..."
The twist in his mind couldn't be reversed for a while. They were lovers ten minutes ago, but now they are comrades-in-arms.
Comrades...
Why does this title sound so comfortable?
…
After some touching moments, the two of them saw that it was not early, so they walked along the straight road in the military compound, bypassing the movie theater, then the complex building, and finally entered the family area.
The surrounding square-shaped lawn and the pace line that appears from time to time on the ground remind Li Zheng at all times that this is the army!
As he got closer to Shao Xiaoqian's home, he felt his throat getting thirstier.
There are not many buildings in the family courtyard of the Yan'an Road Headquarters, and the few houses look very old. They have a strong Soviet-style architectural style, with a central axis symmetry on the left and right, regular planes, high in the middle and low on both sides. The main building is tall and the corridor is wide. The slow extension is followed by a "three-section" structure. The "three sections" refer to the three parts of the eaves, wall body and legs, giving people a sense of solemnity visually.
"Why haven't you arrived yet?" Li Zheng couldn't help but ask.
Shao Xiaoqian pointed inside: "My home is at the very back."
"Ha..." Li Zheng smiled a little reluctantly: "It's the innermost..."
What I saw when I first entered the compound was a five-story building. Now that the building is gone, what gradually appears is a small single-family building with front and back yards. The vegetation is regular and it looks like it is often taken care of. There are trees in front of the door, and The tree is quite old at first glance, with a shady crown and luxuriant branches.
"Xiaoqian!"
Suddenly a young man came out of the small building next to him and greeted Shao Xiaoqian when he saw him.
Shao Xiaoqian waved to the other party: "Zhang Jian!"
Li Zheng asked quietly: "Who is this?"
Shao Xiaoqian didn't know whether it was intentional or intentional, but she said to Li Zheng with a mysterious face: "His name is Zhang Jian, he is my neighbor, and we have grown up here together since childhood."
"Oh..." Li Zheng nodded nonchalantly, but felt a sour taste under his tongue and couldn't help but look at Zhang Jian a few more times.
Judging from Zhang Jian's appearance, he is about the same age as himself, so he shouldn't be much older.
However, Zhang Jian is tall and powerful, with a square face and a standard face of a decent movie character. Because he is wearing a quick-drying tight T-shirt, his tendons are stretched out in the clothes, and his posture is tall and handsome. The stop there is quite like a jade tree facing the wind.
Zhang Jian walked over, his eyes always focused on Li Zheng without moving even half an inch, as if he wanted to see through Li Zheng before he stopped.
When the person arrived, Shao Xiaoqian quickly introduced him: "This is my boyfriend Li Zheng."
Zhang Jian seemed unwilling to communicate with Li Zheng. He glanced sideways at Li Zheng and nodded to the latter in an extremely polite manner, as if he was talking to himself in the air: "Hello. "
Li Zheng also responded politely: "Hello."
The next second, Zhang Jianli immediately turned to Shao Xiaoqian. He smiled at Li Zheng's expressionless poker face and said, "Xiaoqian, you are going home, right? Wait here, I'll go home." Give you that."
After saying this, Shao Xiaoqian couldn't help but react. She turned around and ran quickly to another Soviet-style building next to her, and quickly disappeared through the door.
Looking at Zhang Jian's back, Li Zheng said thoughtfully: "He doesn't seem to have a good impression of me."
Shao Xiaoqian smelled the sour smell in the air and explained: "Zhang Jian is like this. People who are not familiar with him will have a cold face when they meet him. With such a personality, there are not many people he can like."
Li Zheng joked: "He keeps smiling at you, just like a bear seeing honey, wishing it could be smeared on his face."
Shao Xiaoqian was amused by him again. She stretched out her pink fist and hit Li Zheng's arm symbolically: "You are the only one who is poor! Who is the bear and who is the honey?"
Li Zhenggang wanted to say that of course his girlfriend was a honey, but the big guy Zhang Jian was responsible for not letting her be a bear.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Zhang Jian holding a bag of things in his hand, and he returned to the two of them like a wind.
"Here! The rock sugar snow pear was sent from my mother's hometown. This kind of pear is an improved variety from the Institute of Agricultural Sciences. It is currently being tested. It is sweet and not scummy. It is very delicious. Take it back to my aunt to try."
When he mentioned the word "scum", his tone seemed to get a little heavier, and he glanced in the direction of Li Zheng, intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Zheng obviously noticed this little move, and thought that he might not only be jealous, but someone might be more jealous than him.
So he hugged Shao Xiaoqian's waist and raised his chin with Zhang Jian's gaze as if in a demonstration.
The corners of Zhang Jian's mouth twitched slightly, as if he had been shocked with an electric baton.
Shao Xiaoqian looked at the snow pears in the bag. Sure enough, they were big and yellow and looked great, so she said to Zhang Jian: "No wonder my mother always praises you for being sensible. Look, you have coaxed her into becoming a Lafayette."
Zhang Jian looked at Shao Xiaoqian with a smile. He wanted to say something, but when he caught a glimpse of Li Zheng next to him, his face turned cold again. He said lightly: "I won't stop you from going home for dinner. Go quickly and don't let your uncle and aunt Wait for you."
"Thanks! I'm going home for dinner first. My parents are waiting." Shao Xiaoqian held the pears in one hand and Li Zheng in the other, turned around and walked towards her home.
"Okay, go ahead and get busy."
After Shao Xiaoqian left, Zhang Jian stood there for a long time like a clay sculpture, watching Shao Xiaoqian at the corner of the boulevard when he was a child.
When he arrived, he suddenly sighed and went back to his home lonely.
Zhang Jian's house was less than thirty meters away from Shao Xiaoqian's house, so the two of them arrived as soon as they lifted their legs.
This is also an old-fashioned two-story building. The fence in the yard is planted with mulberry incense and is neatly cut. There are some flowers and plants in the yard. The floor is paved with bluestone. Although it looks a little old, it is very solid.
After entering the door, I saw a man in his fifties with a short haircut and gray hair sitting on the sofa. He was wearing a standard shirt and had no military rank. He was holding the People's Liberation Army newspaper in his hand and his eyes were calm. Self-prestige is amazing.
"Dad!" Shao Xiaoqian said coquettishly towards the middle-aged man on the sofa: "Stop reading the newspaper, I brought my boyfriend back."
The man raised his eyes and his eyes fell on Li Zheng.
Li Zheng couldn't help but feel a chill on his back, feeling that there was something sharp in those two eyes.
"Uncle...okay..."
Li Zheng stuttered a bit when he spoke.
The man didn't get up, but his eyes had left the newspaper and were scanning Li Zheng's body, from left to right, top to bottom...
Li Zheng felt like he was put in an X-ray machine, like a white mouse on an experimental bench.
I don't dare to run away, I don't have the courage to look at each other.
This feeling...
It's like being a thief...
"Alas!"
Li Zheng suddenly remembered that he was upright and aboveboard, didn't he just pick up your daughter? How about falling in love? Now that college students can get married, what’s the point of falling in love? !
What's the matter? !
This thought immediately made him feel angry. He swallowed quietly and quickly took out a gift to give to his future father-in-law.
Unexpectedly, something happened at the critical moment. When walking around the sofa, due to nervousness, my feet hung on the legs of the sofa. I staggered and the carefully prepared greeting gift flew out of my hand and hit the ground heavily.
Snapped--
Li Zheng's brows furrowed and he thought, it's over...
