In carefree times, life is always easy. Historical experience tells me that after such a happy party, it won't be long before a big storm comes. Facts have proved that I was right.
"Captain, you came to see us for something?" On this day, Mi Lan called Xiaowei and me to her office. Needless to say, there must be some special mission in such a hurry.
"Yes. There is a very important task for you!" Mi Lan looked at us seriously.
.............................
That night, I returned to the reconnaissance company, faced the apple tree I planted myself, and touched its rough trunk. Only then did I realize that this tree had grown up, and it knew how to bring abundant fruits to everyone.
Provide shade and coolness for everyone. Yes, these are the apple trees that belong to me, Tang Xiaomi. These are the apple trees that belong to me and the reconnaissance team. They are already flourishing.
"You still know how to come back and take a look!"
It's Lingyun.
"Instructor, you are here!"
"Why, I left the reconnaissance company and only came back to see it after such a long time! It's so heartless!"
Looking at Ling Yun's swollen belly, I realized again that it has been many years. It has been more than six years since the day I joined the army. In these six years, the entire army and the entire training ground have buried us.
How much hard work, how much sweat.
"Didn't we just meet a few days ago? Could it be that you miss me again now?" I joked as always.
"You talkative! I mean, you won't come back to see the trees you planted!"
"Isn't it nice to have a tree planted here? Why should I bother to take care of it? Besides, you don't know that Red Eagle is so busy, either training or having tasks, so I have to have time!
"
"Let's be honest! Why are you here today!" Ling Yun was also unambiguous. She knew that if she didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, I would definitely come for something.
"I'm looking for Revolver."
"I knew it! Go quickly!"
At this second, I couldn't help but think of the time during the military recruitment interview.
"Instructor, I find that you are more beautiful today than ever!" What I said is true. It comes from the heart.
"Okay! Go quickly!" Ling Yun urged me to leave.
I felt sour in my heart. I don’t know why. I thought maybe it was because I saw the apple tree again, and it reminded me of my days in the reconnaissance class.
Standing in front of the door of Zuolun's office, he didn't dare to knock on the door.
I'm afraid to see Zuolun. I'm afraid that I will be shaken when I see him. I'm afraid that his bright eyes will destroy some important decisions in my heart.
Finally, I had the courage to knock on the door and go in. "Xiaomi... why are you here?" Zuo Lun was very happy to see me. He didn't expect that I would come to him.
"What? Can't I come? Or is it that you hide your beauty in a golden house?!"
"What are you talking about! I'll get angry if you say that again!" Zuo Lun was a little angry.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry! I'm teasing you. I just came to see the apple trees I planted in the reconnaissance company, and by the way, I came to see you! I didn't expect that you would come to the reconnaissance company to be the squad leader, and I would also give you an office!
"
"Tang Xiaomi, you're so stubborn. If you just say you're here to see me, that's the end of it! Why don't you come to see the apple tree? It's so dark outside. What kind of tree are you looking at!"
"You have seen through all this!...Revolver, stop being busy, let's go out for a walk..."
"Okay, just wait a moment..."
.............................
Zuo Luan and I were walking side by side on the 800-meter playground. The dim street lights on the roadside made our shadows look longer and longer, as if we were pulling a rubber man.
"Revolver, how did you fall in love with me?"
Looking at me, he spoke unexpectedly. Zuo Lun was a little unprepared. After thinking for a while, he said, "I don't know... it might be in Red Eagle, it might be in the reconnaissance company, or it might be on the farm." Tang Xiaomi
, how come you think of asking this...?"
"Zuno Lun, how come you fall in love with a girl like me?" This is a question I have always wanted to know. Zuo Lun, he is great and outstanding. In the army, he has no shortage of women, but why do you fall in love with him?
Me? Or rather, of all the girls in the army, he and I were the first to know each other.
"Yeah, how could I fall in love with a girl like you?! I'm a little confused!"
"Revolver! You deserve another beating!"
"I said tonight, why do I feel different and a little awkward? Looking at you now, I finally understand!"
"How dare you laugh at me?! You're itchy again, aren't you?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Everything is my fault! Okay?"
Zuo Lun looked at me seriously, and then I realized that the things that I usually thought were the simplest and least cared about were, at this second, so precious, so luxurious, and so hard-won.
"Revolver, I want to hear you play the piano."
"But it's night now! Moreover, the studio doors are closed!"
"Don't be afraid! I have a solution!"
Pulling the revolver, he ran all the way to the door of the studio, took off the 'C War Zone' arm pin on his sleeve, straightened it, and started to pry open the door.
"Tang Xiaomi, I didn't know you had such a hand!"
Seeing Zuo Lun's surprised look, I smiled proudly, "Of course, my ability is hereditary! I remember back then, when my mother recruited me to serve as a soldier, it was the best door lock my father bought for me.
It was pried! It was pried cleanly!"
"Xiaomi, do you know that if you do this, you will be punished!"
"Don't be afraid! You won't be discovered!"
One minute. It only took one minute. I easily picked the door lock.
Looking at the blurry seats, I felt sour in my heart.
Just a few nights ago, Zuo Lun, Lao Tang, Mi Lan, and Red Eagle's comrades were celebrating my birthday. We had so much fun. Zuo Lun was so happy and happy. Mi Lan's smile,
It was so charming. Everything was empty. In front of me, there were only rows of empty seats. Apart from these, there was nothing.
Revolver fumbled and turned on the chandelier in the studio, letting the light focus on the piano.
"Tang Xiaomi, now I am your personal pianist, tell me, what music do you want to listen to?!"
"Revolver, can you talk about my favorite song?"
"Cuckoo Waltz?"
I nodded slightly.
Cheerful and soft music sounded. Light and fluttering...
Standing in the audience, I closed my eyes and listened carefully to this piece of music. Everything I had recorded in the past six years was played out like a projector.
I saw the greedy Muzi, the dull Lao Jia, the eager Lao Tang who loved his daughter, the shrewd and capable Mi Lan, the arrogant and arrogant Zuolun, the hard-working Da Feng, and the arrogant
Xia Xia saw the kind-hearted Ling Yun and the rigid Deng Ye.
In the past six years, I have endured hardships, suffered injuries, shed tears, and faced the helplessness of Lao Tang and the strength of Mi Lan. It made me breathless in an instant. There are some things that we can do if we can do it.
There are things we cannot do, but we must work hard to do them. We live for the army and die for the army. Even if we die, we will die on the battlefield.
Listening to the still cheerful Cuckoo Waltz, I could no longer feel happy. I even wondered why this piece of music was so sad.
I slowly opened my eyes and looked at the spot where the spotlight was shining on the stage. There sat the person I loved but never said I loved. I felt as if all the strength in my body had been drained out.
I stepped back toward the door step by step.
I'm sorry, Zuo Lun, forgive me. No matter what I have done, I hope you can forgive me. Just like now, there is only me in your heart and you only love me.
After leaving the studio, I ran to hide behind a nearby tree. Sure enough, as soon as I hid, Revolver ran out of the studio not long after. He couldn't call me loudly. This is the army and it's not allowed at night.
It was very noisy. Therefore, I had to wait for the revolver to move away before I dared to come out.
I want to find Mi Lan. I want to have a good talk with her.
I want to tell her all my feelings and thoughts over the past twenty years. Tell her every word.
