The place for the dinner was a private restaurant.
The kind that only accepts familiar customers.
Although Tian Mi had never met these friends of her husband, they had exchanged gifts and letters in recent years.
If you think about it carefully, they weren't completely strangers, so she felt quite comfortable throughout the evening.
There were seven or eight men, all of whom had made good progress in their respective fields, but when they met again after a long separation, most of the topics they talked about were reminiscing about the past.
It was only after listening to these people's stories that Tian Mi realized that Hui Hui from his family was a troublemaker when he was in school.
It's just that this troublemaker is a little different. He has done a lot of fighting and skipping classes, but his grades are always among the best.
A very fresh and unconventional academic master.
The meal lasted until around eight o'clock in the evening.
That’s because the two little ancestors were sleepy, otherwise everyone would have continued to reminisce.
Just like that, when they parted, a few people still reluctantly agreed to get together again in a few days.
It was OK for those in Beijing, we could get together anytime, but Lou Lu had returned to the army, so we wouldn’t see each other for another three to five years.
"Your friends are all very nice." After getting in the car, Tian Mi sat on the back seat, slightly spread her legs, with a baby sitting on one leg, and she hugged them and took a nap in her arms.
She noticed at night that each of them had a cigarette in hand, but out of consideration for the children, no one lit up after two or three hours.
Even if some of them are heavy smokers, they would just pick up the cigarette and smell it at most. Just this point alone made Tian Mi's impression of these people increase greatly.
"Well, we grew up together and we are friends. If I weren't good enough, I wouldn't have brought you and the kids here." Lou Lu looked back at the two cars that were slowly driving out in front of him, said with a smile, then started the car and followed.
"Didn't you guys agree to get together in a few days? Why don't we host the party? It would be best if we find a day off and bring Mom and Aunt Gu along. By the way, Xinxin should have time too. After dinner, we can go visit some nearby attractions. Ask your friends to bring their wives and children too, so that we can all get together. It will be more lively with more people, and you can have fun for half a day, and you can also spend more time with them." It's a rare get-together for childhood friends who haven't seen each other for years, and it would certainly not be satisfying to only have two or three hours.
Another thing is, when the two of them got married, they accepted gifts from everyone, so they should have treated them to a meal in return, even though it was many years late.
Knowing that his wife's suggestion was for him, Lou Luhui was happy in his heart, but he couldn't help wanting to go to some environment she liked: "Okay, how about going boating? The Summer Palace or Shichahai are both good."
Sure enough, Tian Xin's eyes lit up after hearing this: "That's great! Let's go boating after dinner!"
“.”
This side.
Let’s go back two or three hours.
After being severely ridiculed by his father, Wang Linkun rubbed his brows helplessly after hanging up the phone. He always felt that the road he was walking on was not easy.
But after 25 years of life, this was the first time he met a girl he liked. It was impossible for him to give up, and he had to keep going no matter how difficult it was.
Finally, the gentle and handsome man gave a few bitter smiles before turning and walking towards the ward, completely unaware of the gossipy looks from the people in the communications room.
Of course, even if he noticed it, he wouldn't care.
He has a girl he likes, so there is nothing to hide.
It can even be said that from a certain perspective, it is best to let them speak out, at least it can make those thoughts on him go away.
When he returned to the ward, he didn't see the little girl, and even Elder Cheng was gone. Wang Linkun glanced at his watch and asked, "Did Elder Cheng and Tian Xin go back to the guesthouse?"
The military hospital is equipped with a guesthouse, which is only about five minutes' walk from the hospital. Not only the old man and his disciples live there, but also Yan Jun and Wang Linkun, who is now in good health, live there.
Yan Jun didn't rush to answer his question, but waved at him: "Lin Kun, come over and sit down. I have something to ask you."
Wang Linkun sat down as he was told, and before the brigade commander spoke, he generously admitted: "No need to ask, I do think Comrade Tian Xin is very good and would like to date her, but I don't have that idea at the moment."
Yan Jun choked and wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but he didn't expect the other party to be so thick-skinned that he took the initiative to confess.
Also, why can you say so calmly, so matter-of-factly, and so shamelessly that female comrades look down on you
Wang Linkun ignored the brigade commander's indescribable expression, and his slender and beautiful fingers held the knife and turned it quickly. Soon he peeled an apple and handed it to Han Zhu who wanted to interrupt, signaling him to shut up.
Han Zhu
Although Han Zhu also wanted to make a joke, but thinking of the other party's narrow-minded and vengeful nature, he finally closed his mouth honestly, took the apple and started to bite it.
Hmm. So sweet.
After successfully shutting up the two, Wang Linkun took another apple and continued to peel it, changing the subject: "When will you return to the army?"
Yan Jun: "I'll be back tomorrow night." Xiao Han is out of danger and his family will be able to come and take care of him tomorrow, so he can leave with peace of mind.
Wang Linkun frowned: "What about the old man?"
"Tomorrow is the last day, but I heard from Mr. Cheng that he should stay with Comrade Tian Xin at Commander Lou's home for a few days. The girl has never been to Beijing, and it's a rare trip for her, so she should have a couple of days to relax. But you, boy, if you go back to the army, what are you going to do when you're all over the place?" At this point, Yan Jun couldn't help but put on a look of watching a good show.
Wang Linkun pretended not to see anything. When he opened his mouth to bite the apple, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
He looked up and saw the brigade commander's eyes were fixed on the apple he had peeled.
Wang Linkun looked back at the bag, and sure enough, he was right, this was the last one.
The brigade commander had the nerve to snatch the patient's apple, but as he thought about having to ask for leave later, he finally handed over the apple with a smile.
Yan Jun raised the corner of his mouth, took it and took a big bite: "Mm, sweet!"
Wang Linkun was too lazy to pay attention to him. He wiped the knife clean and put it away before answering the previous question: "I haven't been home to visit my family for five years. I want to ask you for leave. I think you are worried about letting them go alone. I can go with them and take care of them."
This sounds nice, as if it is for the consideration of everyone, but Yan Jun said that he clearly saw the essence through the phenomenon. Isn't he just trying to take the opportunity to show off
But he changed his mind and laughed again: "You also said that Comrade Xiao doesn't have any opinion of you. What if you follow him around for a month and he still doesn't think highly of you, what should you do?"
Hearing this, Wang Linkun was not annoyed. He pushed his glasses and acted like a gentleman: "Then I can only apply for a transfer to the 836th Unit. I believe that a drop of water can wear away a stone. As long as I am sincere, people will always feel it."
So, the joke is not so funny, leader. After Wang Linkun turned the tables, he stood up in a very good mood.
"Where are you going?" Yan Jun asked subconsciously.
The man with a gentle temperament touched his chin and said, "Well, I am a patient, and I peeled an apple for myself, but my boss snatched it away. I wonder if this is a good reason to ask Tian Xin to peel an apple for me?"
Having said that, he strolled out of the ward, apparently preparing to go to the guesthouse to "play the victim".
Yan Jun
"You little brat! You have no shame!" Yan Jun came to his senses and bit the apple in anger to vent his anger.
Han Zhu put the apple core into a small paper bag for garbage and silently gave himself a thumbs up. He was smart and didn't say a word.
Wang Linkun was in a very good mood because he was looking forward to the scene of the soft-hearted little white rabbit peeling an apple for him.
But this beauty disappeared completely the moment I stepped into the guesthouse.
Isn’t the middle-aged man wandering in the lobby of the guesthouse Cheng Jingtian
It seems that he knows that the old man is here.
Thinking about the old man and the young boy, Wang Linkun frowned and ignored Cheng Jingtian. Instead, he walked straight to their room.
Worried that the old man might be upset, he knocked on the girl's door first.
Tian Xin was reciting her lessons in the room. When she heard the knock on the door, she thought it was the teacher and opened the door directly.
When she saw who it was, she was a little surprised: "Deputy Captain Wang? What's the matter?"
Wang Linkun pointed to the old man's room next door and asked quietly, "Is Mr. Cheng asleep?"
Tian Xin shook her head and was about to say no, but when the words reached her lips, she suddenly remembered something. She held the door frame with one hand, leaned forward, and asked in a low voice: "Is it that Cheng Jingtian again?"
"you know?"
"I don't know, I guessed, what happened to him?"
The little girl reacted quickly. Wang Linkun had no intention of hiding the truth from her, so he naturally told her everything he knew: "He is in the lobby of the guesthouse. He must have heard from somewhere that the old man is here."
Upon hearing that someone had actually found the guesthouse, Tian Xin's first reaction was to frown in disgust.
Then he peeked at the teacher's closed door, making sure that no one had come out, and then he whispered, "When we came back, the teacher took the initiative to say that he didn't want to see him again, so just pretend that he didn't know him. Whether Cheng Jingtian is good or bad has nothing to do with us."
Wang Linkun pondered the meaning of the words. The old man still softened his heart.
It's human nature.
Moreover, as an outsider, he couldn't get involved too much, so he bowed slightly and lowered his voice and said, "Then I'll go down and chase him away?"
Tian Xin's eyes lit up: "Can it be done?"
Wang Linkun curled his lips, liking the way she looked happy: "It's OK, and it will also make him afraid to come looking for me in the future."
This was indeed a pleasant surprise, but after the joy, she couldn't help but worry: "Will it be difficult to deal with?"
What's so difficult about this? Unless Cheng Jingtian wants to lose his job, the mere fact that he pissed off his mother to death would be enough to make him suffer. "It's not difficult. Just a few words."
"Wow! You are so awesome!" When the honest man who was not good at talking heard such casual words, stars suddenly appeared in his big eyes, and the praise was sincere.
Deputy Captain Wang, who is always calm and has a face as thick as a city wall, felt a little embarrassed when being stared at.
But after just a few breaths, he began to seek benefits for himself: "Ahem. Just now, I was in the hospital, peeling an apple for myself, but before I could eat a bite, it was snatched away by Brigadier General Yan."
Tian Xin understood immediately: "Wait a minute!" and hurried back into the house.
After all, it was a girl's room. Even though the door was not closed, Wang Linkun gracefully looked away and did not look inside.
But with my ears perked up and my mouth curled up, I thought that the brigade commander would do a good thing occasionally.
"Here you go!" Tian Xin took out four big apples at once and stuffed them all into the man's hands. These were sent by her second sister today, and she took them all out before she had time to eat them.
But because of this, Tian Xin couldn't help but curl her eyebrows, and felt that Deputy Captain Wang was even more friendly. He was as greedy as her second sister.
Wang Linkun looked at the apple that he subconsciously put into his arms, his expression numb.
Really, he suddenly felt that he had no place to put all his tricks on the little girl.
He really didn't mean to cheat Apple!
I just want the girl I like to help me peel an apple, and then I can buy various fruits that need to be peeled as a return gift and peel them for her to eat. Wouldn’t our relationship be established by then
What made Wang Linkun even more devastated was that Mr. Cheng next door heard the noise and opened the door.
The old man stood at the door, looked at the young man, then looked at the young apprentice, and asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
Tian Xin was not very good at lying, but she didn't want the teacher to know about Cheng Jingtian's existence, so she honestly confessed another thing.
She pointed to the apple in the man's arms and said, "Deputy Captain Wang wants to eat an apple."
Wang Linkun.
Hearing this, Old Cheng looked at the young man with some disdain, thinking, how can such a big guy have the nerve to snatch the food of a little girl? Shameless!
Wang Linkun. He is not, he does not have! Save him!
