In the middle of the year, midsummer is hot, and the cicadas are unable to sing.
Da Liu and Shen Mu went to Lushan to see Lin Luxiao, and the plane arrived at Anjiang Airport at 8 o'clock in the morning.
The smooth street outside the airport, the sun is shining brightly, the green lawn, passengers are dragging their luggage and walking in a hurry.
Da Liu took off his sunglasses, fixed his eyes on the passing pedestrians, and his eyes were caught by a long-legged beauty, "Amu, there are beauties."
Shen Mu didn't bother to pay attention to him, stretched out his hand to hook his arm, and pulled him out, "Let's go, Lu Xiao is at the door."
Lin Luxiao was waiting outside the terminal building. As soon as the two went out, they saw a black jeep-shaped car parked at the intersection.
The man was sitting in the car with the window ajar, looking down at his phone.
Shen Mu dragged Da Liu over and stood in front of the car window. Lin Luxiao probably sensed the figure approaching him, raised his head, Shen Mu put his hands on the roof of his car and smiled, and Da Liu said, "Master Xiao!!"
Lin Luxiao still had no emotions, curled his mouth, threw the phone into the front panel of the car, put his hands on the steering wheel, and tilted his head to signal them to get in the car.
Shen Mu got on the co-pilot.
Liu was studying his car in the backseat, the BAIC BJ40, with a configuration of less than 120,000. "To be honest, I will throw away your Highlander later. This model is still suitable for you. But you can buy a Jeep Wrangler , that car is handsome, I saw who drove it out to pick up girls the day before yesterday, it was so handsome."
Lin Luxiao started the car, and twitched the corners of his mouth disapprovingly: "I don't bring you such a luxury."
Shen Mu: "Who owns this car?"
Lin Luxiao glanced at the rearview mirror, turned the steering wheel, and said casually, "There's a kid in the team."
Shen Mu: "I told you not to pick it up, but you borrowed a car?"
When he heard about borrowing a car, Da Liu also looked at Lin Luxiao like never before. Thinking about it carefully, Lin Luxiao seldom cared about borrowing things from others. Maybe it was because of his personality. He never liked to borrow things from others. Once when I was playing at Da Liu’s house, it was still a severe winter. A few children were playing by the fire in the backyard, and they burned Lin Luxiao’s jacket that he took off. his clothes.
Don't even kill them.
The next day I caught a cold and caught a cold. It was the first time Lin Luxiao got sick in his memory. When he was a child, his body developed rapidly. A little sickness and pain passed away, but the fever lasted for four days and did not go away. After going down, I didn't see him borrowing anything from anyone.
From then on, the brothers knew that this person had too much self-esteem.
But this car is not his loan.
Zhao Guo knew that he had asked for leave to go to the city for a day, so he specially gave him the car keys, asked him to drive his own car, and asked him to send something to An Jiang's old mother by the way.
Da Liu sighed: "Look, if you can do it, you can get it. In the past few days, you have accepted a bunch of little fans again? Are you the king of the mountain?"
Lin Luxiao stopped at the red light and laughed, "Stop talking."
Five seconds later.
The car was on the road again, Lin Luxiao turned around and went to Zhao Guo's mother's house to deliver things.
Zhao Guo lost his father in his early years, and his mother single-handedly brought him up. After graduating from the college entrance examination, his grades were not satisfactory, and he joined the army to go to the fire department. There was only one mother left in the family, who worked in a small factory workshop. Seeing Lin Luxiao came to greet him warmly.
Lin Luxiao handed over Zhao Guo's things, a huge bag.
Mother Zhao took it and enthusiastically asked them to stay for dinner, but Lin Luxiao declined politely and said goodbye politely.
Zhao's mother stopped him, "Is Ah Guo still obedient in the team?"
Lin Luxiao stopped, "It's fine, don't worry."
"Listen to the accent, aren't you a local?" Zhao's mother was very alert.
Lin Luxiao nodded, "Yes."
"Where is your hometown?"
"Beixun."
"North, it's quite far away, why did you come here? You're homesick, right?"
Lin Luxiao's back was tall, against the light, mother Zhao's eyes were not good, she squinted slightly, but she could also see the silence of the man in front of her.
miss home
well enough.
Miss her
It's okay too.
Finally, Zhao's mother said: "Okay, I won't delay you, you all pay attention to safety, thank you for your hard work."
Lin Luxiao said goodbye politely.
When he turned around, he saw an old man passing by, glanced at them, and shouted loudly: "Hey, old aunt, your son is back to see you?"
Zhao's mother smiled and explained to others: "My kid has a handsome parent. This is my son's teammate. He asked someone to deliver things. Next time he comes back from the country, let him come to your house to see you, so that you won't be blind again. .”
Hearing the words, the old man pushed his reading glasses and stared carefully, thinking that he didn't quite look the same, "Yes, yes, this young man is handsome, Zhao Guo is swarthy."
That being said.
But when Zhao's mother heard that her son was black, she couldn't help but retort: "Our Zhao country is not called black, it's called healthy! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."
Lin Luxiao got it right after hearing it.
As he walked back, he lowered his head and smiled helplessly.
In his memory, his mother was dignified and generous, and never argued with others. When he was a child, he always listened to people scolding him, and his mother never said a similar word for him. She is a virtuous lady in the eyes of the world. She is gentle, generous, and understanding.
But not like mother.
In the world, most of them are mothers like Zhao's mother who "dislike being straightforward".
…
The three haven't seen each other for a long time.
I found a restaurant to eat, Anjiang is not a big place, and I can probably drive around the city in half an hour.
After Lin Luxiao parked the car, Shen Mu and Da Liu were already banging on the table and waiting.
He walked over, opened the stool and sat down, "What do you want to eat?"
Shen Mu: "Whatever."
Da Liu: "Is there any abalone here?"
Lin Luxiao sat on the chair with his back leaning on him, looking down at the menu, "You're not afraid of choking to death."
Shen Mu poked at Liu, "Leave some wife for Lu Xiao? He hasn't got a wife yet."
Big Liu embarrassed, wronged: "Then let's have a soy elbow."
Lin Luxiao glanced at him and smiled, thinking that this kid looked so funny.
After ordering, the three leaned on the chairs and chatted.
"How is it? Is it okay? Didn't you suffer?"
Lin Luxiao smiled, "It's okay."
Is it bitter
It’s really not bitter. Compared with the time when I was in the military academy, this bit of hardship is nothing. At most, the living conditions are a little worse than there, because in the mountainous area, the hot water supply is not timely, and sometimes after training or missions in winter When I came back, I didn't have hot water to take a bath, so I poured cold water on my head.
It also changed a lot of bad things.
In fact, he quit smoking a little bit, and he didn't hate smoking as much as before. At times like this, he basically went to the door to smoke.
Now I can resist not touching a cigarette for a day.
Sometimes I really want to smoke, so I just squat under the flower bed of the building and smoke one quietly.
Most of the time, he would never think of Nan Chu.
Even if he occasionally saw news about some actors, he would never think of Nan Chu.
Only when smoking.
As soon as the scarlet fire ignited, the shredded tobacco passed through the mouth, nicotine stimulated the brain, the Adam's apple rolled slowly, and the smell of tobacco entered the chest cavity.
For a moment, I remembered the woman's face.
very clear.
He squatted on the ground and raised his head, slowly exhaling smoke rings, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Sometimes he was alone, sometimes with Zhao Guo. Zhao Guo couldn't help talking to him, "Brother Xiao, have you ever had a woman?"
Somehow.
Everyone in the team is very curious about his relationship history, except for the captain and the instructor, a bunch of big kids are very curious about these issues.
Lin Luxiao would glance at him, take another puff of the cigarette, and with the smoke he exhaled, said softly, "Yes."
Had.
Zhao Guo is still single, so he asked curiously, "What about now?"
"No."
Zhao Guo regretted for a while, "But someone like you should have no shortage of girlfriends. My mother has been single since my mother's womb. I haven't had a girlfriend yet. I liked a girl when I was studying. I didn't go to college. People also looked down on me, and left with those who were admitted to university. After becoming a soldier, all the men I met, sometimes I lay in bed and thought, what if I died in the line of duty one day—”
Perhaps realizing that it was not auspicious, he changed the subject and muttered: "It's better not to cause trouble to others."
Lin Luxiao stood up, stomped out the cigarette, put his hands in his pockets, and pushed his head, "Nonsense, according to what you say, even soldiers can't get married? Although women are sometimes very vexatious, but it is true , the feeling of having a home will be different.”
Zhao Guo seemed to hear gossip: "Sister-in-law making trouble for no reason?"
Lin Luxiao thought about it, and all he could think of was the slap in the morning when he woke up, and when he got up with energy, he really didn't recognize his relatives, and Hu Lun came over with whatever was at hand.
"Occasionally."
"Sister-in-law must be very beautiful."
In the dark night, the wind blows, the trees shake, and the branches and leaves rustle.
He generously admitted: "Well, it's really beautiful."
It was probably because Nan Chu corrected his aesthetics. He has never had any concept of women's aesthetics, and there are not many women who are pleasing to the eye.
As for Nan Chu, the more he looked, the prettier he became.
At that time, Zhao Guo thought that it might not be possible to be so beautiful. No matter how beautiful ordinary people are, can they still be more beautiful than celebrities
Beauty must be in the eye of the beholder.
There is a TV set in the restaurant, which is broadcasting the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala of a certain satellite TV.
A group suddenly appeared on the stage, and the familiar prelude sounded. Da Liu turned his head to look, and saw Xu Zhiyi's twisting and explosive dancing posture at a glance.
Lin Luxiao saw the clue, raised his head and pointed, "You two?"
Da Liu bowed his head, hesitantly said: "It's divided."
Lin Luxiao glanced at him and remained silent.
Da Liu and Shen Mu looked at each other, then he hesitated and said, "Lu Xiao, I have to tell you something, don't be angry—"
Lin Luxiao twisted the cup and looked, "Yes."
Biting his lip, letting go, and biting his lip again, Liu couldn't be too nervous, Shen Mu urged: "Okay, let's talk."
Big Liu gritted his teeth: "The matter between you and Nan Chu... was stabbed to the media by that girl."
Lin Luxiao suddenly raised his head and stared at him, looking at Da Liu with dark eyes, his heart flustered for a while, but he still told the whole thing honestly.
"Shortly after you left, I asked Amu to investigate. Amu found out that the trumpet provided by a marketing report was that I had unintentionally applied for and abandoned it for a long time. I thought it was stolen. At first, the girl refused to admit it. Later, I couldn’t stand my daily interrogation, so I simply showed my cards.”
It was still Christmas that day, and there was a heavy snowfall.
Xu Zhiyi's expression was also very cold when he had a showdown with him. Da Liu felt that he would soon not recognize the girl in front of him. After hearing this, he was so angry and anxious that he couldn't control it, so he slapped her across the face.
He will always remember the scene when Lin Luxiao left.
"Are you fucking crazy? Why did you do that?! Do you know what you've driven my brother into? You've driven everyone into a ditch!"
Xu Zhiyi was beaten to the side, and she just said indifferently: "I don't like seeing her."
She felt more guilty, but she couldn't say that Nan Chu robbed her role. She was not so angry. Lin Luxiao still had to rely on sleep to get resources. Later, Nan Chu saw her with an old man in the banquet hall, and overheard someone saying that it was the Second Young Master Jiang who robbed her of resources. There was something wrong, but in the end, Jiang Ge had nothing to do with her, just because he liked to praise her.
She was jealous.
Da Liu squatted down, covering his face in pain, "How do you want me to face my brother?"
And at that moment, he still shamefully thought, why don't he take Xu Zhiyi to find Master Xiao and Nan Chu to apologize, or if Master Xiao forgives, he owes them both for this matter, and let him be a bully for the rest of his life The horses are willing to return.
But the girl didn't plan to follow him after tearing her face apart.
At that time, Da Liu still refused to break up, but in the end Shen Mu showed him the photo of the old man to make him completely give up.
Xu Zhiyi has become a little red during this time, with better resources than before, and more shows, Da Liu occasionally sees it, and he laughs at himself.
She is no longer the pure girl she was back then, and now her eyes are full of desire for money and fame.
Lin Luxiao listened to him, twisted his cup, and drank it sullenly.
"Lu Xiao, this matter is considered blind, I owe you and Nan Chu, I will do whatever you two ask me later."
Lin Luxiao finally got impatient and said, "Okay, it's all over."
Da Liu said embarrassingly: "Women are not good things."
"I agree with this sentence." Shen Mu smiled and put his arms around Liu's arm, "I have an idea for you, buddy, you can buy a Rolls-Royce later, and then hire her seniors and sisters from the same company, and go there every day When she hit the door of the company, the matter was dropped."
Da Liu groaned, "Fart, with that money, I donate it to the left-behind children in the mountains, which is better than spending it there. At least I can make some contributions to the country's charity."
Shen Mu laughed, "Okay, you are enlightened, young man."
"Go away, buddy doesn't have as much money as you."
The two were arguing.
Lin Luxiao smiled cooperatively, lowered his head to touch the cigarette case, knocked out one, and played on his phone without smoking.
The two stopped to look at Lin Luxiao.
Quiet for a moment.
Shen Mu coughed dryly, "Lu Xiao."
"Huh?" he whispered.
"Nan Chu has returned home."
The movement of the hands stopped for a moment, and then he heard, "Oh."
Shen Mu: "I met her at a charity event some time ago. She is a volunteer."
"What do you say she is doing?"
Shen Mu and Liu looked at each other, but didn't say any more.
You may not know, that girl joined the firefighting volunteer team, and she went to rescue and do logistics after the earthquake in the north of Shanbei.
That girl is doing really well now, she has terminated the contract with her previous company, and now Nan Yueru personally found a team to take her, and that team will come and do marketing.
Her Weibo is no longer a mess, although there are still a lot of people who hate her, but at least now there are a lot of people who like her.
She's pretty self-defeating now too.
During the interview, he played Tai Chi like a reporter, but Shen Mu always felt that Nan Chu was a little different from before, but he couldn't tell what was different.
Lin Luxiao didn't want to hear it.
He didn't go on talking, and picked up some trivial things to tell him.
The sun was setting.
After Lin Luxiao arranged a place for the two of them to live, he drove back.
As a result, I got a phone call on the way.
It was Director Yang who called, and his voice was full of depression, "Lu Xiao, come back when you have time."
Lin Luxiao had an ominous feeling, "What?"
Yang Zhengang didn't want to make this phone call at first, knowing that it's not easy for him to ask for leave, so he couldn't resist it.
"Xiao Jiuer... sacrificed."
