"Young man, can you give me this old man a cigarette?" The old man's eyes are very small and very turbid. They are like polluted water, which makes people feel disgusting.
But when he talked about cigarettes, a bright light suddenly flashed in the old man's cloudy eyes.
Lu Jinyan couldn't help but want to laugh. I'm afraid this old man was also a smoker when he was young.
Since we are both smokers, there is nothing wrong with giving one. Lu Jinyan touched his pocket, took out a box of Zhonghua, and gave it to the old man without looking at it.
Sure enough, the old man's eyes lit up even more when he saw Zhonghua. Lu Jinyan couldn't bear to look directly at him.
The old man carefully took out the cigarettes from the box, and then returned the rest to Lu Jinyan. During this period, his eyes were always on the cigarette in his hand. As for the cigarette box returned to Lu Jinyan, he did not even look at it.
glance
Lu Jinyan had to admit that he was narrow-minded.
"Do you want to smoke now?" Lu Jinyan said, taking out the lighter from his pocket and looking at the old man, as if he could light it for him as long as he said smoke. The old man was stunned.
But then he shook his head. He put the cigarette under his nose with a greedy look and inhaled hard again. "Old man, it's such a good smoke. Just smell it. Besides, my old lady doesn't like me smoking. What if?
I went back and let her smell the smoke and she should be angry."
The old man's tone was full of helplessness, and even a trace of sadness that he couldn't smoke because of his wife. But the increasing wrinkles and smile on his face revealed his true emotions.
Although he said he was dissatisfied, in his heart he was always happy that he had such a caring wife.
Even Lu Jinyan, who has always been very slow about feelings, discovered this emotion. "Old man, you must be very happy." Although Lu Jinyan's voice was cold, the envy in it could not be concealed.
.
Lu Jinyan took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand. When will he be like an old man?
But what surprised Lu Jinyan was that the old man who was supposed to be showing off his life with a happy face suddenly softened after hearing Lu Jinyan's words.
He grabbed the lighter that Lu Jinyan had not had time to put in his pocket, and wanted to light the cigarette in his hand, but the fire had already come out, and the smoke was almost sent to the fire, and he was about to light it.
The old man took back the cigarette with a look of pain on his face, and threw the lighter to Lu Jinyan.
He fell to the ground with a tired look on his face, and cold sweat kept breaking out from his head. The old man sat there and panted heavily.
Although he was very curious about what was going on with the old man, Lu Jinyan's intuition from having been in officialdom for so many years told him that it would be better not to say anything at this time.
So he had to stand next to the old man and wait for him to calm down.
However, as time passed, the old man's breathing did not calm down, but became more rapid. Lu Jinyan suddenly felt a panic in his heart and hurriedly laid the old man flat on the ground on the rooftop.
Sure enough, due to lack of oxygen, the old man's face began to turn blue. Lu Jinyan gave the old man first aid at that time. After his condition improved slightly, he picked up the old man and rushed to the emergency room downstairs.
Fortunately, this situation happened in the hospital, and Lu Jinyan discovered the strangeness of the old man in time, so after rescue, the old man was quickly out of danger. Although he was still a little weak, he needed to lie in bed to rest.
The old man's child soon appeared at the door of the emergency room.
He was a thick-set middle-aged man, much bigger than Lu Jinyan in both stature and figure. Such a man had red circles in his eyes when he saw Lu Jinyan, and he kept pulling Lu Jinyan's hand.
Thanks, especially when he heard that if Lu Jinyan hadn't been in time, the old man might have died, that person wanted to kneel down to Lu Jinyan.
But he was pulled up by Lu Jinyan again.
"I'm just a little help. I'll help anyone I meet." Although Lu Jinyan had explained repeatedly that he really didn't need to thank himself, in that person's eyes, Lu Jinyan seemed to be his lifesaver.
No matter what, he didn't let Lu Jinyan go, but insisted on dragging him to drink. Not to mention his iron hands, they were really strong. He held them tightly, and Lu Jinyan couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried. He had no choice but to follow him.
Went for a drink.
Because both of them had patients to take care of in the hospital, neither of them dared to go too far. They just found a food stall near the hospital and ordered some side dishes and barbecued a few bottles of wine.
When it comes to eating, it can be said that Lu Jinyan has eaten everything, such delicacies, but it is really the first time for Lu Jinyan to eat this food stall. It is a bit novel.
Especially when he tasted the taste of these things, although they were not as delicious as those in big restaurants, but they also had their own unique flavor, Lu Jinyan moved his chopsticks even more frequently.
The man just smiled casually and didn't say anything. Especially when he saw that Lu Jinyan liked barbecue very much, he specially ordered some special things for Lu Jinyan to try.
After all, in his eyes, Lu Jinyan should be the son of a wealthy family, and he has never eaten these things. But what is rare is that it is really not easy for those wealthy people to raise such a good person nowadays.
After all, in his opinion, good people are almost extinct.
Men's friendship often comes quickly, especially at the wine table. After a few glasses of wine, the two men began to call themselves brothers. Especially the big man, even though he looks so strong, he actually has a lot of flow.
It was not proportional to his figure at all. He started talking about everything before he drank much.
It was from that drunken utterance that Lu Jinyan learned that this man was called Chen Zheng. Indeed, he was indeed a decent man.
But what interests Lu Jinyan is not his name, but his profession. Or his original profession. Retired special forces.
Thirty-three years old, it is reasonable to say that a special soldier of this age is at the time when he is popular in the army, but I heard from him that he had already left the army three months ago. He wanted to leave on his own initiative.
And the reason is because of his mother.
In Chen Zheng’s own words, “Brother, you don’t know that the thing I’m most proud of in my life is that I joined the army and became a special forces soldier. And the thing I regret the most is that I joined the army.
, and not only did I become a fucking soldier, but I was also a special forces soldier."
When Chen Zheng said this, tears kept pouring out of his eyes. This man in his thirties actually cried like a child at this moment, and the small table where they ate was also covered by his
The hammer made a clanging sound. The man's suppressed cries and the sound of the table being hammered made Lu Jinyan feel very uncomfortable.
It was around five or six o'clock in the afternoon when they were having dinner. Before night, there weren't many people at the barbecue stall, but there were a few here and there.
Moreover, the barbecue stalls here are not the kind of open-air barbecues. They are small rooms enclosed by plastic. The people are noisy. Any sound will be particularly strange. But Chen Zheng’s voice is extremely loud, in this small room.
The space is particularly harsh.
Although people at a few tables far away kept looking here, fortunately they were not too far away and they were probably a little wary of Chen Zheng's size, so they didn't come over.
But there were two tables of young people sitting very close to Lu Jinyan and the others, but they didn't think so. Two tables of young people, about sixteen or seventeen years old, in addition to boys and two girls, were sitting there eating barbecue.
The age of sixteen or seventeen happens to be the most impulsive age, especially when someone of the opposite sex is looking at him, those young people will look at Lu Jinyan provocatively and aggressively.
In their eyes, a stupid guy who can only cry is no match for them. What's more, this stupid guy is still drunk and poses no threat at all.
Therefore, Lu Jinyan was the only one who made the noise and could be dealt with by them.
Seeing the pretended viciousness of the children at the two tables, Lu Jinyan couldn't help but smile sadly.
He pushed the man who was still crying in front of him and took out a packet of paper from his pocket.
"Why?" Compared to the threats from several children, what he wanted to know more was why he regretted what he was most proud of.
It's not that Lu Jinyan has never been a soldier. In fact, he doesn't count as a soldier. It's just because his grandfather couldn't stand his iceberg appearance, so he wanted to throw himself into a military camp for a few years.
He hoped that the melting pot of the military camp could melt his iceberg. So he went there after graduating from college. Men always have some passion, and he was no exception.
But what made his grandfather very disappointed was that the huge furnace of the military camp did not melt his iceberg. Instead, under its experience, Lu Jinyan's ice turned into solid ice. Even after he came out of the military camp, he was still there.
The place where he stayed still left a place for him, and he could go back anytime he wanted, but he was not a person with military status after all.
But even so, Lu Jinyan still has a very special feeling for the army, which is not inferior to those with real military status.
Chen Zheng is a rough man who doesn't know any etiquette or the rules of rich people, but at least he knows how to be clean.
He took the paper handed over by Lu Jinyan and wiped the tears on his face and nose. Still feeling that it was not enough, he took out a piece of paper, but this time he did not rush to wipe it directly. He also put the paper under his nose and asked.
He asked again. After confirming that he had smelled it right, he wiped the stuff off his face. Although he really hated this scent.
"When my mother left, I was still on a mission. Only my father was with me in the hospital. There was no one else. Only my father." When he mentioned that it was only my father, Chen Zheng's eyes turned red again, and his own
His mother was seriously ill in bed, but he was outside with no way to come back, and he didn't even see her for the last time. Lu Jinyan couldn't imagine this kind of pain.
Chinese people have always put filial piety first. The word filial piety has been deeply engraved in the hearts of every generation of Chinese people for a long time.
No matter where they go, their parents will always be their deepest concern. And no matter how old they get, they can always be willful in front of their parents.
"My mother loved me the most when I was a child. Every time my father beat me, she would hug me and cry. My father had a bad temper and was stubborn to death. He never achieved anything in his life. The only thing he was happy about was getting married.
A wife gives birth to a son to live up to her expectations, this is the most proud thing for the old man."
Chen Zheng's tone was calm. He was drinking while talking, and Lu Jinyan didn't stop him. They were both people who needed to talk, so that was fine. They could just talk to each other when they were drunk.
"But he shouldn't have told me about my mother's illness. My mother has been ill for three years. He hid it from me and didn't tell me anything. If he had told me, I would have come out long ago.
, no matter what, I have to send my mother the last journey. No matter what, I have to send the last journey!"
When he said this, Chen Zheng's emotions became excited again. The table made a loud bang when he slapped it, and even the plates on the table did not escape.
The young men sitting at the two tables not far away turned their heads again and looked at Lu Jinyan.
That kind of look made Lu Jinyan very uncomfortable, but he didn't pay much attention to it. There was no need to pay attention to a group of children whose hair was not even long. At most, they were just pretending. Is it possible that they could really do something?
!Just a bunch of kids.
"When did your mother die?" Although Lu Jinyan also knew that asking this question was very unethical.
"Five years ago, if it weren't for you today, I would never have seen the old man in my life. Since he moved to the hospital five years ago, we have never seen each other again." Although I don't know why Lu Jinyan treats his mother like this.
He was interested in when he died, but he still answered honestly.
For five years, Lu Jinyan was a little dazed. He thought Chen Zheng's mother was still alive, especially when he was talking to the old man, he said that his old wife didn't like the smell of cigarettes. He would be found out or something.
Lu Jinyan really couldn't believe that the old man had been gone for five years. Could it be that the old man's strange behavior was a kind of mourning for his deceased wife? Or was it just that in his knowledge, his wife had never left at all.
Was it because of this that he moved to the hospital? Lu Jinyan's eyes suddenly lit up, even though he was not free enough to meddle in other people's business. This chapter has been completed!
