Lao Jia's love story

"I like a girl," Lao Jia said after taking a sip of beer.

I asked which unit's name?

Lao Jia said that the health team is called Xiao Ke, which he met when he went to the health team to repair the pipeline. I have heard this name, and I have seen it in my mind, because a few times our unit ate in the canteen, a tall and thin girl was very beautiful, mainly because she had temperament, perhaps because she just came out of school and had never worked and lived at the grassroots level, so she felt different from others.

I asked Lao Jia if you had a good relationship and where did you go? Lao Jia shook his head and said that he had called several times. Every time I talk, I hang up Yesterday, he didn't answer my phone or answer his short messages. I said people have no feelings for you. Maybe they have a boyfriend.

Lao Jia said, I asked the people in her team that she did have a boyfriend before, and she met him at Hebei Military Medical College before. Later, after graduation, I was assigned to a different place, and I had less contact. It was Xiaoke who broke up. Later, the man came to our army to look for her once, but there was still no result, and I didn't count poaching. Besides, as long as the hoe is good, there is no corner to dig. After saying this, Lao Jia took a sip of wine from the bottle, then leaned against the wall and looked up at the sky. At 7 o'clock in the evening in summer, the sky is gray, but Lao Jia's eyes are shining. It seems that Lao Jia is still very confident in his love.

After a while, I didn't contact Lao Jia again. One night, I went to the canteen to eat. Lao Jia met me at the door, grabbed me and asked me if I had any money on me. How much did I say? Lao Jia said six or seven hundred dollars. I said, do you want it now? Lao Jia said not now. Do me a favor tomorrow and go to the East Highland during the day. I ordered a bunch of flowers there, brought them back for me and secretly gave them to me when I came back, so as not to be seen by others. I asked him who to give it to, and he said to Xiao Ke.

So the next day, I took time to go to the East Highland, went to the flower shop that Lao Jia said, paid for the flowers, and wondered how the flowers were so expensive that I couldn't eat or drink them, and they would be gone in a few days. Almost half a month's salary. I took a look and asked the boss, what kind of white flower is this? The boss said, oh, this is a white rose. I asked my boss to bring me a black bag. I took it back. The boss hesitated, saying that you can take it in your hand and put the black bag on the flowers, so as to protect it. It's not that I don't want to protect it, but I'm afraid that others will see it, because it's the first time I take flowers, and I always feel embarrassed. So on this day of Qixi, I took a bunch of big white roses, wrapped in a big black plastic bag, and walked on a busy road. I don't know if it's because of Qixi or Sunday. Taxis are particularly difficult to take and buses are afraid to do it. I'm afraid the flowers will become specimens when I get off the bus. Although it is August now, it is not very hot and cloudy today. So I tried my luck while walking to see if I could get a taxi, so I walked all the way to the gate of the camp. Then I walked two kilometers on Tanabata and handed a bunch of white roses to a pure man. I asked Lao Jia when to deliver it. Lao Jia thought about it and said that there were few people at night, so I wanted to scold him for being worthless. I thought about it, but I might not dare at night, so I turned to ask why I didn't send red roses instead of white roses. Lao Jia said that white roses represent purity, which also means that this is my last confession to her. No matter what the result is, I will tell her that I like her. You can refuse me, but you can't refuse that I like you.

I said, "Hang, hang, hang."

The light went out at night. I lay in the dormitory bed and took out my mobile phone and asked Lao Jia, did you go at night? How's it going? After the meeting, Lao Jia sent a message, "Look at the sky outside." I looked out for a while and found that I didn't know when it began to rain. The old Fa Jia news said, "Look, God is crying silently for me." I found that people in love are easy to be sentimental, so I replied to him, "This kind of forced pretending is ok, much better than before."

Later, Lao Jia and I talked in detail about what happened that night. In the evening, the health team called Xiaoke before turning off the lights. Although Lao Jia sneaked in, he was still seen by others. However, Xiaoke came out to see him regardless of the eyes of other comrades. Lao Jia said something special to Xiaoke, but Xiaoke said that he was preparing for the military school exam recently, and the exam was in two months. He usually studies during his break, so there is no consideration in this regard at present. Besides, there should be no violation of discipline at this time, otherwise it will affect the examination qualification, saying that you are a good person, you will find a good girl and we are still good friends.

Lao Jia cherishes this "good man card". Lao Jia said, "I'll wait until you finish the exam." Then he said, "If you have any problems in your life, you can come to me. You just came, and I have been in this big yard for many years. " Lao Jia loves to "show off" in everything. He always helps his comrades-in-arms, and the tasks assigned by the unit are no different. So in the next annual party member selection, Lao Jia won the first place and failed in love, but he asked Lao Jia if he was a success in his work.

For this female soldier named "Xiao Ke", I saw it later. It was one night. I went to Lao Jia's unit to play and brought a pair of roller skates. I am going to let Lao Jia teach me. As a result, Lao Jia fell down without sliding twice. Because he was unprepared, Lao Jia's efforts for many years were useless. Lao Jia stood up and rubbed his knees and said, "I haven't played for a long time. I made a mistake." So I accompanied him to the health team again. Fortunately, Lao Jia's unit was close to the health team, and he limped past. When he arrived at the health team, he saw that there was only one doctor on duty and a document, and everyone else went to eat. Lao Jia, who didn't see the female soldier, felt a little depressed, not to mention that he was injured. After the doctor asked the reason, he put two plasters on Lao Jia. Lao Jia walked down the corridor with a plaster in one hand and a wall in the other. He recalled the scene when he came to work in the health team. Female soldiers shuttled through the corridor in white coats, and their voices echoed in every corner of the corridor. There is Xiaoke's figure and voice in it. Then I helped him to keep walking. When I walked to the door of the health team, I heard a slogan not far away. We heard the prestige and saw the women soldiers of the health team come back. They are wearing uniforms and blue uniforms, walking on the Central Avenue. The gold collar on the collar sparkled in the sunset. I didn't mean to look at their chests, and the national defense service badges they wore on their chests also sparkled. Lao Jia suddenly lit up his eyes and told me, "Did you see it? The first one in the sixth row, walking chest, hands swinging back and forth naturally, feet moving at a constant speed, each step is about 75 cm, no more or less, not the same as the girl I like. " I casually looked at her breasts again and said, "It's really outstanding ..."

Lao Jia watched her walk into the yard, and then led the monitor to shout "dismissed". Several female soldiers are going to the service office to do some shopping. When they passed by, they greeted Lao Jia and said, "Good squad leader Jia". Lao Jia quickly straightened up and responded, "Hello comrades." The female soldiers walked away with a smile. My name is Lao Jia. "Now they are promising, and they are all famous people." Lao Jia said: "Needless to say, I am in charge of the hydropower work of the health team alone. I'll go there when the phone calls here. "

"Fly" I smiled.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoke came over after seeing us. Needless to say, it is different to see this girl up close. She reminds me of my female classmate at school for a moment. Her voice interrupted me before I could continue thinking. "Hey, I saw the plaster in your hand. What's wrong with you? " Xiaoke took the lead in asking questions, but Lao Jia was a little embarrassed. Wearing a physical training suit, he could vaguely see a lump in his knee. Before he fell down, the dust on his clothes had not been patted clean. Lao Jia looked at Xiaoke, speechless for a moment. I am busy explaining, "Oh, nothing. Lao Jia taught me to skate and accidentally fell to my knee. " At this time, Lao Cai Jia woke up and said to Xiao Ke, "Let me introduce you, this is my brother Lao Liu." Xiaoke smiled at me and said, "Yes, all the talents in the courtyard write beautifully. Last month, your unit won the first place in the blackboard newspaper competition. "

"I'm flattered," I said quickly.

Then Xiaoke looked at Lao Jia's knee, then at the plaster in his hand and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get you some medicine." Then I ignored Lao Jia's advice and ran back to the team. After a while, I was carrying a bag. Then I opened my bag and rummaged through it. I said to Lao Jia, "This is safflower oil, this is bone-setting water, and there are some plasters. If you have a backache, you can post it. " Lao Jia said thank you, and then took the bag from Xiaoke. Xiaoke said, if we meet again, you should go home quickly. So Lao Jia and I turned and left. After a few steps, Lao Jia remembered something and turned to Xiaoke and shouted, "Hey, you can find me if you have any questions. Remember, it is any problem. "

"I know!" With these three words, Xiaoke turned and left.

On the way back, Lao Jia waved the bag in front of my eyes and said proudly, "Did you see it?"

"When your leg hurts, there is nothing to show off." I pretended not to care.

Lao Jia ignored my attitude and then said excitedly, "You know, when I took the medicine from her hand, I just touched her finger. Although it was only a short second, I still accurately captured the texture and temperature of these hands. " I smiled and asked Lao Jia, "Then tell me what the temperature of these hands is." Lao Jia thought for a moment and said, "36.5℃"

I said, "Hang, hang, hang."

"I'm serious. I just felt my heart stop. " Lao Jia still said.

"Nonsense, stopping twice is not normal." I walked to the door of Lao Jia's unit in a few minutes. I don't want to argue with him any more. I plan to go back to work and let Lao Jia continue to fantasize alone.

Lao Jia's leg problem is not serious. After two days' rest, he began to work again. Half a month has basically recovered. Just when I hesitated to let Lao Jia continue to teach me roller skating, something happened. People in Lao Jia's unit told me that Lao Jia had committed a crime and was grounded. After dark at night, I ran to the place where Lao Jia was held. In fact, their warehouse is also a place for him to rest during his work. I just locked the door and restricted my freedom. I asked Lao Jia outside the window railing. ! "

Lao Jia took a sip of the cigarette I handed him and said, "The child has no mother. It's a long story Let's start with an old man named Yuan Longping. " I can't laugh or cry at this time. I patted the windowsill and said seriously, "Be lenient in confession, resist strictness, be lenient in confession and strive for leniency."

So Lao Jia leaned back in his chair and smoked a cigarette and said to me, "Two days ago, I just fell asleep that night and received a phone call from Xiaoke. I thought she suddenly wanted to talk to me, but I didn't expect one of her girlfriends to be talking when she answered the phone.

She asked me: Lao Jia, do you think Xiao Ke is your woman after all?

I immediately woke up and said, of course!

She also said that now Xiaoke is detained outside, what should I do?

I said, fuck you!

I don't want you to kill him, just save us.

When Xiaoke heard that I was going to kill Ya, she quickly called back.

Xiaoke told me that they were in trouble. I asked her what happened. She said that after the lights went out at night, she and several girlfriends ran out to celebrate one of them's birthday. Oh, my girlfriend is a good comrade in several places in her unit. They went to a KTV not far outside and didn't drink. They just relax by singing and eating snacks. Then I don't know who accidentally broke a monitor on the wall. As a result, the boss saw that it was a few little girls and asked them to give away 10 thousand yuan. Of course, Xiaoke has no money. Several people collected more than 2000 yuan, but the boss didn't want to call the police and clamored for it. In fact, the boss did not dare to call the police, hoping that the police would never go to his shop, but the little girl did not understand. Xiaoke called me when she was afraid. I made a simple plan at that time. If the police really alerted the police station outside, the nature would be different. The police station later handed over the people to our army, so the leaders above the army level knew about it. Hey, you said that after the lights went out in the middle of the night, several female soldiers went out to KTV on their birthdays, stayed up all night and went out privately. Is it possible to go to a military school? Xiaoke, the grades are all down. Let us lose money. To tell the truth, we can't save any money at all. Besides, a display screen can be so expensive! I just fucking wanted to cheat money, so I thought of a way. I wore a military uniform and changed my epaulettes into officers', 13 cent stars. His boss must be scared when he sees it. I also called two good comrades. I told them to put on camouflage clothes and come with me. When I arrived at KTV, I let them stand at the door of the box. In addition to the boss don't let anyone in and out, I went in and saw XiaoKe they sat there waiting anxiously. Who the fuck let you sneak out in the middle of the night! Go back and wait for punishment! "

Having said that, Lao Jia took a sip of his cigarette and said with a smile, "Hey, don't say you didn't see my momentum at that time. After this set, several female soldiers were really scared, and even the boss next to them was stunned for a while. "

I said, "You can force it, it's in place!"

Lao Jia went on to say, "I will take them away after I scold them." The boss saw the world and said that he would lose money if he broke it, so I poured two thousand dollars on the table and said that if there was a problem, he would call the police. I'm sure he's afraid to call the police. Was he still doing business when the police came? Although the boss is not convinced, there is nothing he can do at the moment. Besides, at the door, I have two comrades in camouflage uniforms, helmets and batons standing guard there. Several small security guards in their shop are afraid to come over because of this posture. Tell me more about me, this military uniform ... "When I saw him pretending again, I interrupted him and said," Come on, tell me what happened later. How did you get locked up? " Lao Jia was asked by me, and the momentum just now was obviously gone. Then he said, "In fact, there was nothing unexpected when I came back, so I secretly went back to the dormitory to sleep. Later, the next day, one of Xiaoke's colleagues told this story to another person who thought they had a good relationship. This man told their captain about it, so it happened. "

I called him an idiot. Is it worth it? The membership form will be handed in soon. Lao Jia said, "I tore up party member's watch." I was surprised and asked, "madman, there is only one copy of this thing." How many people are waiting in line to get in! " "Lao Jia said," I just don't like what they do, and they' threaten' me with it. They want me to bow my head and pretend to be blind in the future. Sorry, I can't go in. "I said that punishment is indispensable." Well, to put it bluntly, it is a piece of paper. I read the file once when I was a soldier, and I don't think I will see it again. It's Xiaoke. I heard that the number of places in the military academy was changed to their captain and replaced by another person, who seems to be the one who reported it. You said that even if we men compete for fame and fortune, how can we be female soldiers? "I said with a wry smile," are not all people? Everyone is like this ... "Lao Jia remembered something and said to me," My mobile phone was confiscated. You take the time to look at Xiaoke for me. I think it hit her hard. "I'm a little impatient." Take care of yourself first. The client didn't say anything, but also took a punishment! What are we doing as soldiers? Three things: joining the party, making meritorious deeds, and circumcision! You finally joined the party, and you lost. Her future is a future, but your future is not a future! You two units are so close, why doesn't she come to see you! "I was not satisfied with this, and then I said," Besides, what is your relationship now? At best, you are good friends, and she didn't promise to be your woman! After hearing this, Lao Jia said with a smile instead of anger, "I find that you are more nonsense than when we were in the guard company." Are you worried about my future? Look at me now. "When Lao Jia said this, he deliberately leaned back, put one leg on the other and said," Look at me now. Don't live too fast. I don't have to do anything. Some people deliver food, others drink. You are wrong about the other thing. Xiaoke is my woman. All the time. I retorted, "You have always claimed that you are a small woman, but people have always refused." Lao Jia smiled again. "Ha ha, that night she agreed. Now everyone knows! Don't talk nonsense, just say whether to go or not? "

"Don't go!" With these two words, I got up to leave. When Lao Jia saw that I was leaving, he stopped me. "Put down the cigarette in your pocket and go." I slapped the cigarette on the windowsill and scolded, "Wait for punishment!" "

The next day, I went to find Xiaoke. Xiaoke obviously lost her previous style. Her red eyes indicate that she has not shed tears in the past two days. I told her that Lao Jia is in confinement now and can't come out to see you for the time being. If you have anything I need to convey, just let me know. Xiaoke said, "I am in a military school. The captain said that I violated discipline and affected the image of the troops. I want to ... "I scolded before she finished." Bullshit, your military skills are not bad.

Xiaoke said: "Anyway, all the efforts are in vain now."

I tried to ask, "why don't you find a relationship? To put it bluntly, this matter can be big or small, depending on the opinions of the leaders. "

Xiaoke wry smile way: "who am I looking for? I am a person with only a back. In this unit, apart from my comrades-in-arms, I only know you and Lao Jia. I've thought it over. Isn't the army going to the mountains for a month and a half of field training at the end of the month? I applied to the unit to be a health worker, and I almost retired in a month and a half. "

I was surprised to hear her say that she had retired. I said, "You haven't retired yet! Besides, things will pass. Can't go to a military school, can't be an officer, can only be a non-commissioned officer! "

"Among the scholars? Do you like you or Lao Jia? Count the days every day and wait for discharge! My goal is to work vigorously in the army for a lifetime! " When Xiaoke shouted this sentence, the plane just flew over our heads, and the sound was deafening.

I'm a little surprised. This sentence is so familiar. Even Lao Jia and I said this in the recruits, but we added a rhetorical device to this sentence-damn it.

Lao Jia and I used to be as passionate as this girl and wanted to work hard here all our lives, but now it seems to be soldiers in this girl's eyes. In just five years, a person can grow or fall. I remember I dismantled the gun the fastest in the company. I also ran into the top ten of five kilometers, and I had abdominal muscles in my stomach. We don't want to be veterans in five years, and Xiaoke doesn't seem to want to be veterans either.

I told these words to Lao Jia in the evening. Lao Jia said, "If I were you, I wouldn't stand it. Remember when we were in the guard company? Everyone belittles others and exalts themselves. I began to be disappointed in this environment at that time. At that time, I tried my best to test a group of non-commissioned officers, let alone go to the military school. Xiaoke is right. Unconsciously, we all became soldiers. It will be the end of the year in two months, and we will be due.

Three days later, at the military meeting, Lao Jia handed in the inspection book and the application for discharge.

The unit punished Lao Jia for this kind of violation of discipline and decided to make a big mistake. But afterwards, the instructor secretly stuffed a membership form to Lao Jia, saying that credit is credit and mistakes are mistakes. Since I'm leaving, I joined the party before I left. I implore my superior to come here. You fill it out carefully and hand it to me. Lao Jia didn't know what to say and answered "Yes!" Then he saluted and turned and left the office.

About a month and a half later, Xiao Ke came back from the field training station, and the three of us had dinner at the Dream Camp restaurant (formerly Jingchuan Hotel) outside the compound. After camping for more than a month, Xiaoke's skin was obviously tanned, but it didn't look gloomy at first. We didn't mention what happened that night. When the food came up, Lao Jia picked up a thousand pieces, carefully rolled a piece of "shredded pork with Beijing sauce" and handed it to Xiaoke. Xiaoke took it and stuffed it into his mouth. After dinner, Xiao Ke began to say: "My application for discharge has been handed in, and the leader has agreed to leave in half a month." What about you? Is it due this year, too? Are you going or staying? "

I saw Lao Jia didn't speak. I said, "I have to leave. Lao Jia originally wanted to stay and work for a few more years, but now he also said he was leaving. It is you. Why do we have to retire early? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "

Xiao Ke said: "I studied medicine to be a doctor. It is also a wish to come to the army and put on a military uniform, just like the name of this restaurant: Dream Camp. If I haven't been admitted to the military school now, I can't be a military doctor, but a nurse. More than a year here is enough. I wore military uniforms, experienced the friendship of war, and met two lovely silly soldiers. But don't worry, I will become a doctor when I return to society, and I will continue to contribute to society! "

Lao Jia took a sip of wine alone and said, "They are all little people. Don't talk big, just live a good life. "

Since Xiaoke Military Academy was replaced, Lao Jia felt a little guilty about what happened that night. He felt that he had not handled things well, so he made such a big noise. I comforted him several times, but it was useless.

Before I left the army, I gave Lao Jia "Ordinary World", which was divided into three volumes. I wrote in the book:

We had dreams then.

About literature, about love.

About traveling around the world

Now we drink late at night.

The cups collided.

It's all the sound of broken dreams.

-North Island

Lao Jia left me the first book full of imagination, which read:

Most people die in their twenties and thirties,

Because after this age, they are just their own shadows.

After that, I spent the rest of my life imitating myself.

Day after day, more and more mechanical.

More pretentious to repeat what they have done all their lives,

What you think, what you love, what you hate.

And in the middle of this beautiful book wrote:

When a girl takes wine from me, I won't drink it.

I didn't smoke until a girl threw away my cigarette.

I won't stay up until a girl sleeps in my arms.

If someone I like cooks, I won't be picky about food.

I will wear more clothes bought by people I like.

Because I want to live deeply in this changeable world.

He gave Xiaoke the book in the middle, and then he kept the sad ending of the last book for himself.

I have always felt that there are many farewell ceremonies in this world, such as drinking, hugging, or simply crying. Later, I learned that most of the farewell in life is silent. The three of us got on the train at different times and in different directions. We didn't hug and cry, but on the farewell train, Lao Jia sent a text message: I thought I wouldn't cry, but I couldn't help crying when I was alone.

A year after leaving the army, Lao Jia told me that he wanted to go back to the army. I happened to be studying in Beijing at that time, so we met at the gate of the army the next night, and Lao Jia and I walked side by side in the courtyard of the army as before. I asked Lao Jia how he had been in the past six months. Lao Jia said that he has been trying to make money and live a full life, just like we are in XinBingLian. Walking to the door of the health team, I asked Lao Jia: Do you remember there was a girl named Xiao Ke here before?

Lao Jia said with a smile, of course I remember. Then he pointed to his former unit not far away and said, I still remember that there was an old Jia in this unit, and they had a little love story here.

I asked Lao Jia, did you have any contact after you left the army? Lao Jia said no, and his mobile phone number changed. That incident made me embarrassed to see her again. We were chatting when suddenly a female soldier shouted "Monitor Jia?" Lao Jia stood still and looked familiar. This female soldier is Xiaoke's comrade-in-arms. The female soldier told Lao Jia that Xiao Ke's mobile phone was lost. She didn't remember your number, and she didn't blame you for what happened. Although you didn't say it, she knew that you always felt guilty. Later, after she left the army, we didn't know the truth. In fact, one of them deliberately damaged the display screen, just to expand the situation. Even if you pay the 10 thousand yuan, you will know about it when you come back.

Lao Jia said angrily, kill you!

I said, they are all small people. Don't talk big.

The female soldiers gave the old Aga a series of numbers, saying that it was left by Xiaoke.

I tried to talk and call.

Lao Jia looked at me, then at the number and hesitated.

I took out my mobile phone and broadcast this string of numbers17355305811before Lao Jia hesitated.

Beep-beep ...

"hello?"

"Hello, is this Xiao Ke?"

"I am"

"I'm Liu. Lao Jia is with me now. I gave him the phone. "

Lao Jia took the phone in my hand, speechless at the moment, and said hello awkwardly.

"Suddenly a woman's sharp and firm voice came from the other end of the phone:" What fart, Lao Jia, you said, I'm not your woman yet! "

Lao Jia suddenly burst into tears, and years of depression broke out instantly. He shouted desperately into the phone: "Shit!" Of course it is damn it! Everyone knows that you are my woman ... "

I always think that the best thing in life is meeting.

Later, I learned that in fact, the most rare thing is reunion.

(End)
