all the way

When Liu Xia came home for dinner at night, he was still worried about Yun Jian, and Liu Ling and Chen Zhenbei were also a little puzzled about Yun Jian.

After listening to their narration, Zeng Guangtong didn't mind: "You just think that Yunjian is from the capital, what else is there to worry about? It's the same as when you returned to Rongze, but you will be hungry if you don't have any money. Can’t get home? Relatives, friends, teachers, classmates, where can’t you borrow ten or eight yuan?

I think Yun Jian's basic life must be fine. We don't know where he is now. If he goes home, there is nothing to say. He must be eating and drinking with his family just like us right now. We are not as happy as we are; if he is still angry with his parents and did not go home, it proves that he can still live outside, and the situation should not be too difficult; if he really can't bear it, he will go home by himself .

Isn't that what children and parents do?When there is a conflict, it is worse than passers-by. No one wants to see anyone, like an enemy, but if something happens, the last retreat the child can think of is the parents, and the parents will still come out and willingly wipe the bottom of the child. What about the parents whose children hold grudges? "

Zeng Guangtong's words reassured Liu Xia, who had imagined countless scenes of Yun Jian living on the streets in ragged clothes, hungry and cold all afternoon. It really makes sense. , taking a ten thousand step back, he really can't support himself anymore, the conflict between him and his parents is just a difference of opinion on the matter of career choice, it's not a big grudge, the parents will definitely not care about him going back and forth of.

Thinking about it, Liu Xia's mind returned to Liu Hai, and together with Mao'er, he calculated where Liu Hai should be now.

Mao'er suddenly stopped talking, blinked a few times, stood up and pulled Liu Xia and said, "Uncle, I suddenly want to tell you something."

Liu Xia was very surprised, but he still followed the cat to the door far away from everyone. Liu Ling and the others didn't mind. These two people should be living alone now, and it's normal to have something to talk about alone.

The cat murmured something in Liu Xia's ear, Liu Xia suddenly realized, and nodded: "I see."

When the meal was almost finished, Liu Xia said to everyone: "Mao'er and I want to go out early tomorrow morning to find some beautiful scenic spots and see the snow scene in Kyoto, so we don't have to wait for us when we eat."

Liu Ling was surprised: "We've been fine for the past two days. We've just used it for fun. You can watch the snow scene casually. What are you doing up so early?"

Chen Zhenbei said: "If you plan to queue up to buy tickets, don't even think about it. The station can crowd people to death. I'm afraid that you will be crowded and lose our handsome guy, so I gave the tickets in advance. You bought it."

Liu Xia was stunned: "You, when did you buy it? Why don't we know?"

Chen Zhenbei packed up the bowls and chopsticks and stood up: "When you arrive, just leave a message on the paging page. Do you need to send another red-headed document to notify you next time?"

Mao'er felt very sorry: "Uncle Zhenbei, we agreed to buy the tickets when we came here, and we all feel that we shouldn't bother you all the time."

Chen Zhenbei said: "I can't even lift a finger. What's the trouble? Someone's job is like this. If you don't let them buy it, it's tantamount to knocking out their jobs. How can we do such an unkind thing!"

With such a relationship with Chen Zhenbei, it would be inappropriate to thank him too much. Liu Xia didn't say anything, and went to get the money for Chen Zhenbei. Chen Zhenbei smiled helplessly and accepted it.

Liu Xia has often seen snow scenes of several scenic spots in Kyoto from various notebooks and pictorials over the years, and he is familiar with them. There are still two days left, and Liu Xia wants to take the cat to play, although he feels that those artificially carved scenes are still there. This time is far less beautiful than the snow scenery of Fengxi Mountain, but it is a famous place, and he wants to take more photos of the cat.

Chen Zhenbei came back in a hurry and didn't bring his camera, so he went home to get it. In fact, Zeng Guangtong also had a camera, but Chen Zhenbei didn't like it, he was very picky about it.

Chen Zhenbei's house is located in a tidy alley. Just looking at the width and ostentation of the inverted house, you can tell that it is much more confident than Zeng Guang's house. Because of the soldiers in military uniforms, Liu Xia felt that this place did not feel like a home, like a courtyard house, and it lacked the casualness and warmth of homeland compared with Zeng Guang’s home. home.

Chen Zhenbei didn't see Liu Xia's little thoughts, and happily took them to Haizi to skate. It was real ice, not concrete.

There were a lot of people skating, and a few of them rented shoes. The cat had the bottom of the roller skating there. He fell once, shook a few times, and quickly found the feeling. Although he couldn't play with all kinds of tricks like Chen Zhenbei , but also considered chic and comfortable.

Liu Ling had already learned from Chen Zhenbei a few years ago, but he was wearing a military uniform, so he just dragged Liu Xia to skate in a regular manner, without any tricks at all, at most he skated backwards for a while.

Liu Xia fell on his buttocks several times, sweating all over his body cautiously and nervously, and barely managed to slide up with the support of two people. However, he was thick-skinned, thinking that no one here knew him anyway, and After he learned how to fall, he could show off to Wu Xiaolin and the others when he got home, so although the cat was very reluctant to see him fall and didn't want him to slip, he still skated tenaciously for a long time, until he felt that his underwear was covered with sweat. It was drenched, so Chen Zhenbei led him to the side to rest.

After returning home, Chen Zhenbei put on a leather jacket with a very thick fur collar. Liu Xia felt that he was more handsome than him in military uniform, so he praised him sincerely. Take one, it was originally for your fifth brother, but he refused to take it, and kept it there, and the leather would break if you put it on again."

Liu Xia wiped off his sweat and said, "Don't you brother Zhenbei, I really thought you were so handsome, so I just casually praised it, there is no other meaning."

Leather jackets have become very popular in recent years. Almost every young male worker in the hydrology team has one. The Public Security Bureau where Liu Chuan works is even more powerful. The few people Liu Xia often sees wear leather jackets after work, no matter how old they are. , as if without a fur coat one is inferior and unable to go out.

So Liu Xia also thought about buying one for himself and his third brother Liu Chuan, but when he asked, those of similar quality cost hundreds of dollars, and there were many beautiful and fashionable styles that cost thousands of dollars, so he gave up. this thought.

The style Chen Zhenbei is wearing is more beautiful and handsome than any leather jacket Liu Xia has ever seen. He has never seen anyone else wear it. Liu Xia really likes it very much, but he guesses this one is better than the ones he has seen. are expensive.

However, no matter how much he likes it, even if this leather jacket is not expensive, he can't accept Chen Zhenbei's gift. They have already caused too much trouble for Chen Zhenbei. Know how to describe yourself, cheeky?As if that wasn't enough.

Chen Zhenbei said: "Do you think it's too expensive, and you're embarrassed to ask for it? Yaoer, I didn't buy it from a mall. Of course, those things in the mall are expensive. After a lot of experience, it's not expensive." What a ghost!

This is my pilot suit. Su Jin is working as a ground handler in the sky, and I got it directly from the factory. It costs more than 100 yuan. If you like it, I will ask him to get a few more. "

Liu Xia shook his head: "No, this Chinese New Year, the sky will be warmer soon. My mother often said, 'If you have money, you don't have half a year's leisure'. If I want it this winter, I will write to you."

The two of them stood on the sidelines like this, talking while watching Liu Ling and Mao'er holding hands and following the people around, Chen Zhenbei suddenly said: "Yao'er, let me tell you something, don't tell your fifth brother just yet."

Liu Xia nodded: "Okay."

Chen Zhenbei said: "I have decided to change jobs."

Liu Xia asked in surprise, "What? Why?"

Chen Zhenbei said calmly: "I have always hoped to be a professional soldier like my father, elder brother, and second elder brother, to fight in the battlefield and serve the country. It is impossible to fight for a long time, not to say that it is meaningless to be a soldier in peacetime. In fact, a strong army is an indispensable existence to ensure a peaceful state.

But I figured it out, I have been a soldier since I was 16, and it has been more than ten years. The responsibilities and obligations of a soldier have penetrated into my bones and blood. One day when the country needs it, I can take up arms to serve the country at any time. "

Liu Xia felt that Chen Zhenbei's words were a bit contradictory: "Since this is the case, brother Zhenbei, why do you want to change jobs? I think you still like to be a soldier from the bottom of your heart?"

Chen Zhenbei's eyes followed the figures of the two people in Haizi: "I have a reason to change jobs, I can't tell you now, and I don't want others, including your fifth brother, to know that I will stay in the army for at least a while." I will apply for a job change at the end of this year, so don't tell your fifth brother."

Liu Xia said, "Then why did you tell me?"

Chen Zhenbei smiled: "Maybe, maybe it's because your fifth brother loves you so much. If your fifth brother is angry when I leave the army, you can help me comfort him. He will listen patiently to what you say."

Liu Xia also smiled: "Actually, I also hope that you will always be a soldier, so that you can always be with my fifth brother. You treat my fifth brother differently. I know that even if a person has many sincere friends Friends, there is always the one who is the most confidant, and you are the one who is the most confidant of my fifth brother.

If you leave, if something happens to my fifth brother..., I don't know how to say it, because I know my fifth brother can do well wherever he goes, without special care, I don't know how to describe you and fifth brother The feeling between brothers.

It’s not caring, it’s a little more than a comrade-in-arms, a little more than a friend, a little more than a confidant who cherishes each other, a little, a little... The feeling between us brothers, right, just like you just now Said that my fifth brother loves me very much, I think you also feel the same way about my fifth brother, not just because of the friendship established purely because of work, but you are good to my fifth brother from the bottom of your heart, not just making him the best The soldiers and comrades-in-arms, but, but..."

Liu Xia still couldn't describe his feelings accurately, but Chen Zhenbei understood: "Yes, just like your Fifth Brother loves you and Xiao Hai, I also...love your Fifth Brother..."

Liu Xia nodded: "That's the feeling, you treat my fifth brother like us, my brothers and I."

Chen Zhenbei was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Yaoer, if one day Brother Zhenbei is nothing and has nothing, and goes to Liujialing to live with you, what will you think?"

Liu Xia laughed: "Brother Zhenbei, are you going to become a troubled son? This is like singing, hehe, what else can you do, just like Uncle Zeng, you go to our house, Uncle Zeng taught my brother and the others to draw , tell them stories and history; you taught us Xiaoyun, Xiaolei and Fat Xiaoxuan to shoot guns, and my fourth brother is now supporting Xiaoxuan to grow up and let him be a soldier! He will be very happy if you go.

In fact, except that our place is a bit closed, the land on the mountain is not good, and it is not good to grow food, everything else is very good. If you are willing to enjoy it, you will have a lot of fun there.

On this day, my uncle and elder brother will definitely go back to set up rabbits. In autumn nights, we can catch scorpions with flashlights. In summer, we can bathe in Fengxi River and touch old dragons. Anyway, if we can eat enough, I don’t think there is anything better than Fengxi Mountain. Good place.

If you go, don’t dare to say anything else, we won’t make you hungry when we have food, I can guarantee it.

If Uncle Chen and eldest brother are willing, let them go together, at worst, open two more kilns. "

Chen Zhenbei smiled and asked again: "Is your promise valid under any circumstances?"

Liu Xia said: "Of course, no matter what, can your situation be worse than that of Uncle Zeng? But Brother Zhenbei, did something bad happen to your family? No... no Do you want to do that again, that cultural ****?"

When Liu Xia remembered, the most intense political turmoil in China had basically passed. What he remembered was that life was slowly changing for the better, but he often heard his family talk about that era, and Liu Changqing even rejoiced that Liujialing Closure, to prevent the people in his village from being aroused by the hidden evil thoughts of human nature, this let Liu Xia know that the invisible and intangible things are more terrifying than starvation.

Chen Zhenbei knew that he had misunderstood, and said with a smile: "Where do you want to go? I'm just a hypothesis, just kidding with you, but it's true that I want to go to Liujialing to be with you."

Liu Xia nodded: "I know, your family, um, how should I put it, it's not as warm and comfortable as ours. It's not that it's not good, but it's different."

Liu Ling led the cat and slid over, Liu Xia and Chen Zhenbei stretched out their hands for them to support, and Liu Xia squatted down to change the cat's shoes.

Chen Zhenbei also squatted down, Liu Ling pushed him away: "I will do it myself."

Liu Ling and Mao'er were so hot that they took off their coats, they were sweating only in sweaters, Liu Xia asked Mao'er to put on a down jacket, but Mao'er refused: "Touch it, I'm dying of heat, I'll wear it later. "

Chen Zhenbei watched Liu Ling change his shoes, and greeted a young man with a camera next to him: "Hey, brother, can you take a photo for me?"

The young man walked over briskly, and took Chen Zhenbei's camera: "No problem, how to shoot? Damn, brother, your camera is awesome, how much is it?"

Chen Zhenbei said with a smile: "My friend brought it back from abroad for my own use, but I blamed it and didn't pay for it."

A few people came to a tree with residual snow on its branches. Liu Xia was holding Mao'er's down jacket in his right hand, and Mao'er in his left hand. Then to the left were Liu Ling and Chen, who had coats on their left arms. Zhenbei, a very random photo.

After the young man left, they began to casually find places to take pictures together. Liu Xia and Mao'er took the most photos together. Mao'er was determined not to take pictures alone, and then Liu Ling, Liu Xia and Mao'er took pictures together.

Mao'er also took several photos of Chen Zhenbei, Liu Ling, and Liu Xia. Of course, there were also several photos of Liu Xia and Liu Ling, Chen Zhenbei and Liu Ling.

When Liu Ling watched a sparrow whistling on a tree in the distance, Chen Zhenbei took two pictures at random.

Liu Xia thought of the photos Liu Ling sent to him and the ones he brought home. Some of them seemed to have been taken by accident. He said, "Brother Zhenbei, those very natural photos of my fifth brother's life before. , did you take pictures like this?"

Chen Zhenbei took another shot at Liu Ling who turned his face away: "Well, he doesn't like taking pictures. If I get the chance, I'll take a few pictures of him."

Liu Ling took the camera over and said, "Why do you take so many photos when you have nothing to do, come to Maoer, take a picture by the lake."

The next night when I was about to get into the car, the cat said to Liu Ling: "Uncle Wu, send the photos back as soon as they are finished. Uncle and I just bought a big photo album, and there are only a few pictures of me and my uncle in it." group photo."

Liu Ling patted him on the head: "Don't worry, I can't do it. If you take ten photos of you and uncle, your photo album will be filled in one go."

Mao'er laughed and was carried around by Chen Zhenbei: "I have nothing to do during summer vacation, come back with your uncle. Uncle will take hundreds of photos for you. Let's blow up the album."

Liu Xia is as worried about Liu Ling as Liu Hai is now, he said to Liu Ling: "Fifth brother, you really have to go to dim sum to find a girlfriend, if you really end up on a blind date, then there is no way, you In those few days when I went back in [-], what else can I do on a blind date besides looking at my looks? It's useless to look good."

Liu Ling looked at Liu Xia, and suddenly stretched out her arms to hug him: "Yaoer..., write to me when you get home."

Liu Xia felt that Liu Ling's expression was a little strange, he hesitated to speak, as if he didn't know how to tell him something, he hugged Liu Ling back: "Fifth brother, you, what's the matter with you?"

Liu Ling tightened her arms, hugged him tightly and said: "No, no... Yaoer, if you have time, go back and visit our uncle and mother more, don't work so hard and make them worry."

Liu Xia couldn't help rubbing Liu Ling's face: "I know brother, I don't work hard, it's your training that works hard!"

Liu Ling let go of Liu Xia, looked at him carefully for a while, and touched his face: "Take the cat and have a good time, as long as you have enough money, my uncle and mother are not people who only care about money, you are healthy and healthy." If they are happy, they will be really happy.

Don't worry, fifth brother... I won't make fun of my own life, when the time comes, get in the car. "

Liu Xia and Mao'er lay on the car window, watching Liu Ling and Chen Zhenbei who were standing side by side getting farther and farther away. For some reason, Liu Xia felt a sense of sadness welling up.
