The two of them stared at each other in silence for a while, and finally Yao Li smiled bitterly and said, "Then I wish you a safe journey, and I will treat you to a meal, and then we will go our separate ways!" Yao Li said There is always an indescribable sadness in my eyes when I say this.

I don't know if this sadness is because Yao Li is a person who values ​​friendship or because he has been with Yan Xiaoxiao for a long time and always doesn't want to be separated like this, but no matter what, Yan Xiaoxiao and Yao Li are destined to be people from two worlds, and they are destined to be different in this life. There will be more intersections, and this may be the reason why Yao Li is sad now.

Yan Xiaoxiao readily agreed to Yao Li's invitation. Yao Li took Yan Xiaoxiao into a taxi. The taxi drove for half an hour and arrived at a local Chinese settlement. In fact, there are many Chinese in Yangon, and most of them live scattered. , Chinatowns like this are far from the scale of Chinatowns in other countries.

This Chinatown is just a short commercial street. The shop signs on the street are written in Chinese characters, and as soon as Yan Xiaoxiao enters Chinatown, she feels like she has returned to China. The pedestrians on the street all speak Chinese. The yelling waiters also use Chinese, which made Yan Xiaoxiao find a kind home feeling in this foreign country.

Yao Li took Yan Xiaoxiao to a shop in the depths of Chinatown. This was a Yunnan bridge rice noodle shop. The signboard read: Veteran Rice Noodles. Just this signboard looked very appetizing.

Although this shop is in Myanmar, it looks like the decoration style of those rice noodle shops in China, and just after the two stopped, the little waiter standing at the door of the shop greeted the two of them to go in, polite and warm-hearted, so It really is the way of hospitality.

Yan Xiaoxiao and Yao Li went straight into this rice noodle shop. Yan Xiaoxiao was a little curious why Yao Li would bring her to such a restaurant for dinner. There are many delicious places in Myanmar, and many of them are local in Myanmar. Shouldn’t you come to Myanmar just to eat specialties?Why do you still miss the taste of China?No matter how much Yan Xiaoxiao thought about it, she couldn't understand it.

Seeing Yan Xiaoxiao's puzzled look, Yao Li immediately understood what Yan Xiaoxiao meant?Before Yan Xiaoxiao asked Yao Li to answer, Yan Xiaoxiao said: "When I first joined the special forces, we had a joint exercise with the Burmese special forces, just to sound the alarm to the rampant smugglers and drug dealers. After that, a few of us came to this store to eat rice noodles." After Yao Li finished speaking, he smiled slightly at Yan Xiaoxiao.

According to Yao Li, the owner of the store at that time recognized them as special soldiers when he saw their temperament. Yao Li and the others were very surprised. By hiding it, he admitted his identity. Speaking of which, Yao Li still doesn't know why he trusted the boss so much at that time.

The boss directly saluted a standard military salute, and several people quickly stood up to return the salute to the boss, and then what the boss said made them respectful, the boss was also a soldier in the special forces when he was young, and Yao Li and the others belonged to the same unit , but the place where he is stationed is different. It sounds like this boss is also a veteran, and he is absolutely worthy of respect.

The boss continued to tell them about his experience when he was young. He was injured in an operation against drug gangs and was shot in the spine. Danger of paralysis, can only do some light work.

For him at that time, it was tantamount to the collapse of the sky, and his military career could not continue. The army gave him a job transfer from the army, arranged a job in a state-owned enterprise for him, and gave him a lot of veterans. fee, but he declined, because such a result is not what the veteran wants, he just wants to stay in the army and enjoy the rest of his military career.

However, due to his physical condition, the veteran did not have any reason to stay in the army. There was no other way, so the veteran came to Myanmar alone and opened a rice noodle shop in this Chinatown. All his spirit rests on it.

After the long talk with the owner of the store, this store has been deeply remembered by Yao Li since then, and he will never forget that whenever he went to Myanmar to perform some missions, Yao Li would take a few troops with him. My good brothers came to the boss's shop to eat and drink together, but it's been a long time since the last time I came here.

This time Yao Li has the opportunity to come to Myanmar again for this mission, and he will definitely come back to eat this rice noodle again, and also to meet the boss again—a stubborn, proud and soulful veteran.

The boss has been busy in the kitchen. When he came out with rice noodles, he happened to see Yao Li. At that time, he put down the rice noodles and came over to exchange military salutes with Yao Li.

At first glance, the boss is a neat middle-aged man, his hair is still shaved to a standard size, his beard is also clean-shaven, and the clothes he is wearing are still the camouflage uniforms from the army. From the photos, it can be seen how much he cherished his life back then, and how much he envied Yao Li's current status.

Seeing the boss, Yao Li said a little excitedly: "Squad leader! I'm coming to see you!" Yan Xiaoxiao saw that his eyes were red, and so was the shop owner. His eyes were red with tears, and the two shook hands heavily. Shaking hands, holding hands tightly is the sadness and respect that others can't understand.

Yan Xiaoxiao doesn't understand the feelings of the veterans, and neither of them served as soldiers together. Yao Li is considered to be the boss's junior in terms of military age, so when he sees the boss, he will also call the squad leader kindly. This kind of affection Looks really rare.

The boss was sitting across the table at the time, and ordered the kitchen to cook some dishes and bring some bottles of wine. He wanted to have a few drinks with Yao Li, but Yao Li hurriedly stopped him, because the boss had been injured before. Not good, and the boss's age is not what it used to be, drinking always hurts the body, Yao Li is afraid of aggravating the boss's condition.

"Squad leader, I'm here today just to taste the rice noodles you made by yourself, and to drink something. When you recover, I'll treat you to a drink!" Yao Li's tone was full of loyalty and boldness when he said to the boss. This is the first time I saw Yao Li and Yan Xiaoxiao.

Yao Li tried his best to stop the boss, but the boss no longer insisted, and went to the kitchen to make rice noodles for Yao Li and Yan Xiaoxiao.

Soon, the boss brought up two steaming bowls of rice noodles, and Yan Xiaoxiao could smell the aroma from a long distance away, and it happened that she was also hungry now, so she looked eagerly at the rice noodles in the boss's hand.

The boss put the rice noodles in front of the two of them, and said, "Xiao Yao, hurry up and try to see if my technique has improved, class leader. Hey, this beauty is your girlfriend, right?" The old soldier said cheerfully He laughed, seeing that the two delicate people in front of him were indeed a match.

The smile on Yan Xiaoxiao's face immediately froze after hearing this, and Yao Li said awkwardly: "No, no, we just came to Myanmar to do something together, and we'll go back after we're done..." Yao Li was talking While turning her head to look at Yan Xiaoxiao who was embarrassed and didn't know what to do, she suddenly felt at a loss.

Hearing what Yao Li said, the boss smiled meaningfully, and while gesturing to Yao Li with his eyes, he patted Yao Li on the shoulder, and then continued to work.

It made Yao Li suddenly feel embarrassed, but to be honest, Yao Li actually understood what the veteran meant, but now Yao Li just wanted to pretend to be stupid like this, Yao Li knew very well that there was too much distance between him and Yan Xiaoxiao. It is impossible to cross over after spending a lifetime, so Yao Li pretended to be indifferent, with an expression on his face that he didn't know whether he was crying or laughing, smiling and looking at Yan Xiaoxiao for a while, and looking out the window for a while.

The air between the two of them seemed to freeze in an instant. In order not to make the atmosphere so embarrassing, Yan Xiaoxiao and Yao Li could only turn their attention to the rice noodles, pretending that the rice noodles were very attractive, and then they buried their heads I ate rice noodles.

Yan Xiaoxiao took a closer look at the bowl of rice noodles in front of her. The bowl was full of red oil, and there was a large piece of beef covered with a few green leaves, which greatly increased the appetite.

Yan Xiaoxiao took a bite of the rice noodles. The rice noodles were slippery, soft and glutinous, and melted in the mouth. Once she ate them, she felt like homemade rice noodles. It was definitely not the ones bought with a lot of edible gelatin. Yan Xiaoxiao ate the whole bowl in one go. Rice noodles, there are still some more to say, but the stomach is already very full.

Seeing Yan Xiaoxiao eating so fast, Yao Li said with a smile: "How about it, this rice noodle is delicious. We have been going back for a long time, and we still want this rice noodle. Later, we found countless rice noodle shops in China, and we also I didn't find this familiar smell."

Yan Xiaoxiao wiped her mouth, nodded and said yes, saying that this is the best rice noodle she has ever eaten since she was a child. If this rice noodle shop opened in Qingshi, it would definitely make a lot of money.

Listening to what Yan Xiaoxiao said, Yao Li couldn't help laughing. After thinking for a while, Yao Li said to Yan Xiaoxiao: "I have already asked the monitor about the question you mentioned, and I asked him why he stayed in Myanmar. I will never forget what he said at that time, he said that he was guarding the grave of his comrades who died here." At this point, Yao Li put down his chopsticks and stared out of the window.

After Yao Li finished speaking, the entire rice noodle shop was filled with a sad atmosphere. Yan Xiaoxiao was still eating noodles happily, but when Yao Li finished speaking, Yan Xiaoxiao had a piece of noodles in her mouth, and the whole People froze there not knowing what to say.

Seeing that Yan Xiaoxiao froze for a moment, Yao Li did not end the topic just now but continued to tell Yan Xiaoxiao the story of the old squad leader, Yan Xiaoxiao sat there and listened carefully.
