The Road Home

Chapter 40: Where to go back (4)

When they got to the bedside, the nurse put the chair behind Gui Xiao.

She sat down, on the edge of the chair, closer to him, her chin on the white pillow beside his face. What rumbles in my ears is my own breathing, the rhythm is obvious, sometimes light and sometimes heavy—

"I feel like I'm still studying... I gave birth to a daughter for you." She had a strong nasal voice.

Lu Yanchen raised his arm with all his might, and rubbed his little finger against the corner of her eye, which was sticky, as if in a trance, the tip of his tongue could taste the saltiness: "... crying in pain?"

Gui Xiao leaned on his face, his nose moved slightly: "Well."

Being choked by the sudden emotion, I was silent for five or six minutes.

She whispered: "When my father has been my daughter for so many years, I have never been treated as a military family member. It is better that you have more face, and you can give me a green light to fly over, or you can only take the train. Your daughter will be born on the train... It's also very fun. But I told you, I don't want to experience this kind of special approval in my life. We agreed, there's really no next time."

When she flew to Kunming when she was seven months pregnant, the airline specially read the small book of her pregnancy test, and reminded her not to fly after eight months, and she needed a hospital certificate if she wanted to fly. Use it, no one dares to load it.

Gui Xiao is also certain that he will never go out again... Sure enough, this kind of thought cannot exist, and it is fortunate that Xu Yao is with him.

On the same plane, there were three or four family members, all of whom were diplomatic contacts. I heard them cry that their children were in their twenties and they were injured before they were in a relationship, and one of them was seriously injured... Gui Xiao thought that her mother had talked about the evacuation of overseas Chinese on the phone a few months ago. Dangerous, jobs are needed, they will be the last ones to withdraw if something major happens.

Thinking of this, she was also worried, not knowing what happened to the two girls.

However, I was afraid that Lu Yanchen would notice, this thought just flashed through his mind, and he turned to: "Tell you, don't you have to wait until I have a baby? It took ten hours. The nurse tied the instrument for me and left, still thinking that I would endure it slowly," she dumped the practical knowledge she had just acquired to him, "It only took two and a half hours, and I called, nurse, nurse. I'm about to give birth. The nurse thought I was joking... The amniotic fluid didn't break, and when I finally came to check, I was stunned. A few people rushed me in, and they called a bunch of doctors and nurses to watch, saying that this was the first time I gave birth, the cervix was opened very fast, and the amniotic fluid didn't break. I gave birth with tears in my eyes, and they watched with joy. Then someone asked about past cases, and then someone said that I was a family member of a hero who came over to give birth on a temporary basis. A little doctor went out to get medical records, and as soon as the front foot went out, I gave birth to the hind foot..." Before Gui Xiao finished speaking, he was amused first.

The two nurses at the back also laughed.

She was reminded by the nurse not to stay too long.

Lu Yanchen had woken up twice before, but the anesthetic had not passed. This time, he was better, but not very awake.

Gui Xiao was reluctant to leave, and before leaving, he was not afraid of outsiders. If he wanted to see him often, he would do the same thing when he was tired of him, and put his lips on his: "Kiss."

In Lu Yanchen's eyes, Gui Xiao's figure was vaguely unclear. Anesthetic Jin came back early, just holding on to his consciousness and wanting to accompany her more. Gui Xiao said again: "By the way, your daughter looks like you, you have done a lot of credit this time."

He showed a smile, Lu Chen style.

Gui Xiao was sent back to the ENT floor, still being watched all the way.

When the door was closed, an obstetrician came to examine her and explained some words. She wanted to try breastfeeding her. But she felt that she almost became a family member of a martyr, and she didn't mention it before she slept well after the natural delivery, so she just let her sleep quickly.

Gui Xiao touched her head on the pillow, her ears were buzzing, and she was so tired that she stepped on the cloud as soon as she touched the pillow and fell asleep.

The old lamps were not on, and the cotton curtains by the window blocked the light outside.

If you fall asleep on this end, you won't know what day it is.

Xusui, twenty-eight years old. In this year, she and Lu Chen were together. They obtained a legal marriage certificate. They haven't had a wedding yet, but they have a daughter. Born in Kunming, it is 108,000 miles away from that Beijing...

***

The afternoon of the last day of Lu Chen's college entrance examination.

In the yard of my aunt's house, Gui Xiao cuddled in a small bamboo chair and counted the ants for half an hour. The grape leaves were pinched in the palm of his hand, and his fingernails were pressed up a little to pass the time.

The pager on his lap was silent. upset...

The buzzing of the pager startled her.

Gui Xiao jumped up from the bamboo chair, grabbed the pager that was hot from the sun, and wanted to go back and make a call. I never thought that when people got up, they also saw Lu Chen's car leaning against the side of the road under the steps.

Along the strawberry field, he ran out of the half-person-high wooden fence, crossed the poplar tree, jumped down the one-meter-high steps, and got into the car when Lu Chen opened the door.

Lu Chen put his hand on the outside of the car window, with the shade of a tree on the back of his hand, and smoked in a melodious manner.

"Can't you just call me directly? What are you calling me for..."

He reached out and pressed her head down: "Don't move, there is someone upstairs."

On the balcony upstairs, there was a loud grandmother shouting her grandson's name, and another child who sneaked away for a nap during a nap.

Gui Xiao covered his face and buried his head in the passenger seat.

He threw away his half-smoked cigarette butt, closed the window, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove away from the small intersection in the shade of a tree all the way, and then looked at Gui Xiao, who shrank his head and said, "Little Quail."

"You're a quail..." Gui Xiao muttered, stuffing the pager into his trouser pocket, "I'll give it back to you."

Lu Chen was wearing sports shorts, which were also loose. She reached into her trouser pocket and touched it... Across a layer of cloth...

Gui Xiao slowly withdrew his hand, his heart pounding hard in his chest...

Except for the air hissing from the air conditioner, there was no other movement for a while.

He drove the car by himself, as if he had not been "indecent". The car left the family area. Lu Chen cleared his throat and asked softly with a smile on his lips, "Are you still blushing?"

"Who is popular?" Gui Xiao retorted in a low voice, "Is it you?"

Lu Chen said with a smile in his voice, "If you can make me blush, you are considered capable."

Just because of the bad atmosphere among the young people in the town, Lu Chen rarely jokes with her like this. Today is obviously the burden of the college entrance examination, and he is in a good mood. Gui Xiao didn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it, his face turned red, and suddenly he pushed his arm: "I'm not an adult yet... don't talk about it!"

In the evening, Lu Chen took her back, and delivered fruit to her aunt's house on the way.

He was unloading the goods downstairs, and Huang Ting helped guard the things. She was kind and said mysteriously, "Brother, have you always wanted to go after Guixiao? Do you want me to work harder for you? If you're leaving, you really don't have a chance."

Lu Chen unloaded the last two boxes of grapes in the trunk onto the cement road: "I will call her sister-in-law in the future."

"Ah?" Huang Tingchun was stunned, "When did you two get along?"

"Have you been getting close to the boys in Bai Village recently?" Lu Chen asked without answering, "Be careful, it's not a good thing."

"No, who are you listening to?"

Lu Chen warned her: "If you don't know who you dare to be with, be careful I'll find someone to break his leg."

Huang Ting: "...Brother, you are too ruthless, why don't I just fall in love? Can't you?"

"Yes," Lu Chen didn't give any room for negotiation, "No."

"You're a state official setting fire..."

"I know exactly what those guys are like, don't take me for granted. Do you hear me?"

"heard it… "

After Lu Chen finished his lesson, he drove away.

Going downstairs to Aunt Gui Xiao's house, I walked around twice, looking at the small yard in the wooden fence, the strawberry fields and vines in the night, thinking about her stepping on the red brick road like the wind in the daytime, pushing aside the fence door, run-

There were also grape leaves that she had smashed into pieces in her hand.

Incredibly beautiful.

At that time, Lu Chen remembered that when Meng Xiaoshan first learned that he and Gui Xiao were together, he joked to Haidong: Brother Chen, this is a long-distance harrier, with high lights shining on the long-distance road. The long line, finally succeeded.

There is nothing wrong with what Meng Xiaoshan said, he just put a long line and caught a little mermaid.

The university entrance examination went to Nanjing. Alienation.

At first, he was not used to southern food and ate less, just saving her money to buy gifts.

I went back to Beijing for the winter vacation of my freshman year, and lived in a garage as usual.

When some old workers in the factory saw Lu Chen returning, it was like a winter vacation. If he had to go back due to something at home, he asked him, the boss's son, to do the work instead, and he was paid half of his overtime pay. This is a rule that he has had since middle school and high school. Everyone knows his family's situation. They should help each other and give Lu Chen some pocket money.

I was thinking of waiting for a day when I was free, and cleaned myself up before going to see her. Unexpectedly, the little girl came by herself. On that day, someone was under the car, and someone knocked on the door and called out, saying there was a "beautiful girl" Named the name and asked him to go out to repay the emotional debt... He took the wrench and stepped out of the big rusted iron door. In the cold wind, Gui Xiao put his hands in the pockets of his down jacket, huddled by the door of the delivery room to avoid the wind, and looked up to see When his eyes lit up obviously, he ran over like a quail: "It's frozen to death."

After being together for a few days, it is very reluctant to part again.

But she also came to live at her aunt's house for a few days, so she couldn't stay any longer. In the end, the northwest wind was blowing, but it happened that there were no extra cars for him to drive in the factory. Lu Chen and her people borrowed a mountain car with a back seat to drive her back to the compound. Fearing that acquaintances would see her, they chose a remote road, advanced from the adjacent army compound, and walked through a small door connecting the two compounds. .

Next to the door is a small forest at the foot of the mountain range. Gui Xiao hugged him by the waist and acted like a spoiled brat not to let him go: "Stay with me for a while, just stand here and talk."

Lu Chen took her out of the way, afraid of being watched by passers-by, stopped the mountain bike to the edge of the woods, and pulled her hand into the woods.

In the courtyard, people often climb mountains for entertainment, and they walk a lot, and there are many dirt roads that have been trampled.

As soon as he entered, the wind whizzed past his ears. Gui Xiao was led by him for more than ten steps. He was in the dark forest, and he could still see the lights on the roadside and the people swaying under the wind. bike.

Lu Chen lifted her head, raised her head, and kissed her lips.

In such a fierce northwest wind, you can eat sand and dust with your mouth open. The two of you must be close to each other so that you won't eat the wind and the sand at the same time. Gui Xiao was kissed by him for a while, and felt that Lu Chen had made obvious progress in just a few days. After separating, he hid his face in his padded jacket: "I think your kissing skills are good, who did you learn it secretly?"

This kind of thing has to be practiced, for example, in what way, what angle and strength, Gui Xiao can show that he is very happy, and he still knows it in his heart.

"Get out, get out..." She saw something extraordinary. "There are two earthen graves there..."

The little girl who was afraid of the dark and ghosts forgot his skills and took him out, but she wanted to go back after stepping out of the grove. There was really no suitable place to avoid the patrols except this grove. . She turned and pushed him back.

"What?"

"Let's go over there," she pointed to the other end of the forest, put her feet up and whispered under his ear, "the lights in the courtyard haven't been turned off yet, wait a while." Then she repeated in a low voice: wait a little longer...

All kinds of kissing methods were tried out that night before the lights in the compound were turned off.

In the face of the person he likes, everyone is the same, and he wants to give her the best things in the world. But he couldn't think of what to give her. She hadn't been with him for a while, and he remembered that Gui Xiao had looked at his phone twice. Before joining the army, he took all the money to buy a new one, and brought it back to Beijing for her, which was considered a poor entry into the army.

In the army, there is no chance to touch the things that little girls like.

The first time he touched the gun, he picked up the empty cartridge case and went back.

According to what the company commander of the recruit company said, there was nothing to polish on the ground, and all of them were polished to a golden light. Although Gui Xiao is not uncommon about this thing, he has seen it since he was a child, but he really can't think of anything to give away in this remote place. This can still make some sense, but it is a pity that he saved half a drawer The bullet casings were not sent.
