Yang Lei arrived at the new house, entered the door, put his things on the ground, and sat on the sofa.
He didn't turn on the light and just sat there.
He has been sitting, and he does not know how long he has been sitting.
When Yang Lei went out, he had not cooled down yet, so he was wearing a coat, not even a sweater. But now, he seems to be unconscious, neither cold nor other.
Yang Lei sat alone for a long time before he finally had a reaction and reached out to touch the cigarette.
He touched it for a while, his hands were not obeying, his fingers were trembling slightly...
On the shooting range, the 701st regiment was conducting its last live-fire firing at the end of the year. The soldiers were shooting from the ground, lying down, semi-automatic shooting, moving targets, and training one by one.
It's New Year's Eve in a few days. Yang Lei took the initiative to ask to be on duty on New Year's Eve to let those married officers go home to reunite. Considering that his home is in the local area, the regiment team usually works a lot on weekends, so they did not arrange shifts for him, and let him go home for Chinese New Year on New Year's Eve.
"You better go to your mother-in-law's house!"
His comrades made fun of him. Although Yang Lei hadn't made a marriage report yet, this kind of news spread very quickly and spread all over the place.
But since Yang Lei returned to the barracks last Sunday, he hadn't taken a day off to go back. He stayed in the camp every day, pulling the company out for training, either in the snow or in the tank company's armor disassembly.
Yang Dahai called several times and asked him to take a leave of absence in the past few days and go to the house to watch the decoration. The workers are going back for the Chinese New Year soon, and a lot of work has to be done in these few days.
"The troops are busy and can't leave."
Yang Lei said.
"No matter how busy you are, this matter can't be delayed."
Yang Dahai instructed.
"Okay! I really can't ask!"
Yang Lei frowned and hung up the phone.
On the shooting range, the deafening sound of gunfire. A soldier ran continuously, frustrated, and the whole company looked at him.
"Zhang Xiaochuan!"
"arrive!"
"come over!"
The soldier nervously ran to Yang Lei with a gun and stood at attention.
"Disassemble your gun!"
"Yes!"
The little soldier quickly disassembled, put seven or eight scattered firearm parts on a plate, and put them in the shooting position.
Yang Lei stepped forward, dazzlingly assembling the firearms, barely aiming, he raised his gun in a standing position and fired.
All the guns stopped, only Yang Lei was shooting.
In the silent valley, continuous gunshots and bullets penetrated the target paper, causing dust on the mountain...
"All 30 bullets hit the target, 256 rings!"
The target reporter reports the target...
Everyone in the audience was shocked, looking at Yang Lei...
Yang Lei lowered his head, loaded the magazine again, and raised the gun expressionlessly...
The sound of gunshots made a series of masterpieces, and the whole valley was roaring, revealing restlessness and confusion...
Fang Mei called Yang Lei to discuss some things, but Yang Lei just hummed a few times and said whatever he asked, you can do it. Fang Mei heard that something was wrong with Yang Lei.
"What's the matter? Are you worried?"
Fang Mei grew up with Yang Lei since she was a child, and she could quickly detect Yang Lei's emotional changes.
Yang Lei was silent for a while.
"I met Fang Yu."
Yang Lei didn't hide it from her.
"Fang Yu?"
Fang Mei was surprised.
"He's back? When?"
"some days ago."
"you… "
Fang Mei didn't know what to say.
"Where is he now?"
"do not know."
Yang Lei sighed.
"I don't know?... You didn't ask?"
Fang Mei couldn't believe it.
This is their first reunion in three years, and she doesn't believe that Yang Lei really forgot Fang Yu.
"He went back to Jianghai to see someone. He should have left by now."
In a few days, it will be New Year's Eve, which is the Spring Festival. Tickets are tight. If you don't leave now, you will not be able to leave. Fang Yu should no longer be in Jianghai, and hurried back to the New Year.
"...Are you all right?"
Fang Mei paused for a while and asked on the phone.
Three years ago, after Yang Lei and Fang Yu broke up, Fang Mei didn't want to see Yang Lei again.
"What could be wrong."
"You... haven't chatted?"
The calmer Yang Lei was, the more Fang Mei knew what he was feeling now.
If it was someone else, maybe he really felt that Yang Lei was nothing. But she is Fang Mei. It was none other than Fang Yu! If others don't understand, will Fang Mei not know? ? After three years, Fang Yu suddenly appeared in front of Yang Lei like this, she knew too well what it brought Yang Lei.
Time, for some people, can take everything away.
But for some people, it's difficult.
"Did you leave a phone call?"
Fang Mei asked.
Yang Lei didn't answer.
"…Why not stay?"
Fang Mei guessed it.
Yang Lei didn't know why.
That night, he felt like he had escaped from the car.
Maybe, he just didn't want to hear what Fang-woo might say. He was afraid to hear Fang Yu say that if he had anything to help in getting married, he called me...
"Yang Lei, let's think about our business."
Fang Mei paused for a while and said suddenly.
"What nonsense, can I go back on what I promised you?"
"It's not remorse. Think again."
Fang Mei knew that Yang Lei understood what she meant.
"It has nothing to do with it."
Yang Lei said.
"Yang Lei..."
"It's okay to see him well. I won't bother him again. And don't make him uncomfortable..."
Yang Lei says...
Yang Dahai has been busy with Yang Lei's marriage.
Yang Dahai has not yet stepped down from his seat, and he is busy with work. He has always been stern, but since Yang Lei and Fang Mei talked about marriage, Yang Dahai's smiling faces have become more and more.
This year, Yang Lei's younger brother who has been studying abroad has also returned, and Yang Dahai is even happier.
Yang Lei's younger brother was born by Yang Dahai and his later wife. He was sent abroad when he was very young and has been educated abroad. Yang Dahai did not fulfill his father's responsibilities to Yang Lei, and he hoped that he would not have any regrets on the second son, so the child sent him abroad to receive the best education as soon as he entered junior high school. Yang Lei has never held any grudge against this half-brother, and regards him as his own younger brother. His younger brother followed Yang Lei all day long when he was a child. The younger brother admires his elder brother. Yang Lei is also willing to play with him, but Yang Lei is young. Just hanging out outside, Yang Dahai was afraid that his younger brother would not study well like Yang Lei, so he planned to send the child abroad very early to take care of relatives abroad.
Over the years, his younger brother has come back at most once or twice a year. Every time his brother comes back for Chinese New Year, it is also the happiest time for the family.
But Yang Dahai did not forget to urge Yang Lei to build a new house, for fear that Yang Lei would delay in this matter. Yang Dahai was so annoying, Yang Lei didn't answer the phone. His mobile phone happened to be in arrears, and Yang Lei was too lazy to recharge. Yang Dahai and Yang Lei's stepmother's phone calls often came to Yang Lei's office, and Yang Lei told the orderly that apart from calling him at work, people outside the barracks called him, saying that he had gone to training with troops, and if he wasn't there, let the other party leave him. On the phone, if something happens, he will come back when he comes back.
Yang Lei didn't lie, he did bring his soldiers outside. When he came back, the orderly said that he had been called by several calls. In addition to a few calls from Yang Dahai, there was also an unfamiliar mobile phone number.
"Did this man say anything?"
Yang Lei didn't know the number.
"I didn't say it. I just said I would call him back when you got back."
The orderly recalled.
"He said his surname was Fang..."
Yang Lei stopped...
He looked at the number written on the paper and quickly took the paper away.
Yang Lei stood in the room for a while, turned around and buckled his armed belt, put on his military cap and went out.
"Three platoons!"
"arrive!"
"Call the top row! Obstacle course! Pull a race!"
"This... Staff Officer Yang, you are still practicing..."
"Pull up!"
"Yes!"
On the obstacle course, Yang Lei led his troops to rush to the bridge, lay on the net, and climb the wall with his bare hands...
Yang Lei couldn't stop for a moment. Until he rolled in the muddy water and lay panting.
He got so tired that he stopped thinking...
