The next day, the newspaper announced the list of war correspondents stationed in Iraq after the new year. In addition to He Yang, there is also Cheng Xu, who has been a correspondent in Africa for several years. They are all young and powerful backbones of the newspaper, and have been polished and refined over time.
Experience has reduced the youthfulness and ignorance of when you were just starting out, and has the calmness and steadiness of being nearly 30 years old.
Gu Mengmeng admired the president's vision for the final decision that they would become glorious war reporters.
Her persuasion seemed to be very useful to Enya. Anyway, after He Yang picked her up that night, Enya never cried again. She seemed to be a different person, she didn't talk much, she didn't like to communicate with others, and she liked herself
Alone. Gu Mengmeng called her several times, but she pushed him away on the grounds that He Yang was leaving soon and she had to accompany him.
Xu's mother saw something strange and worriedly called Gu Mengmeng to ask about Enya's situation. Gu Mengmeng told the truth and told the fact that He Yang applied to become a war correspondent and would go to Iraq on the sixth day of the new year. Xu's mother called
The other party was silent for a while, then finally said "I understand" and hung up the phone.
When the newspaper office began to arrange the Spring Festival duty, and everyone who was far away from home was on their way back, Enya insisted on asking He Yang to take her back to his hometown. If He Yang didn't agree, she would pester her, and if the pestering didn't work, she would cheat.
She started to make a fuss even if the cheating didn't work... Later, He Yang went to seek the opinions of General Xu and Xu's mother, and then with their silent consent, he took Enya on the train back to the countryside.
What He Yang didn't know was.
In order for him not to be wronged in front of her parents, Enya gave an ultimatum to her parents who had loved and doted on her since she was a child. She said that when she grew up, she had the right to choose the person she liked. Although He Yang was married once,
That couldn't be considered a marriage in the true sense. After fighting for it, he finally regained his freedom and could be with her. However, because she applied to go to Iraq, she would never let down such a man who values love and justice in this life.
At the same time, Enya also asked her parents to forgive her for her unfilial piety and cherish the hard-won relationship between her and He Yang as much as she did.
General Xu and his wife are kind and open-minded people.
When they acquiesced to He Yang taking their daughter, they had already expressed their support as parents.
Gu Mengmeng happily looked at the MMS photo that Enya uploaded to her from her mobile phone. In it, the two happy people were nestling by the river in He Yang's hometown, looking into the distance and looking forward to the future.
While she was relieved, she clearly felt a trace of jealousy gnawing at her heart.
Enya is so happy, what about her Conway?
Does he still have no time to go home during the Spring Festival?
The last snow outside the window has melted half, and is completely invisible on the road. Only traces of white snow can still be seen faintly among the dry branches and on the soil in the flower pond.
Gu Mengmeng breathed hot air against the windowpane on the heater and wrote a person's name on it with her fingers, over and over again.
Xiaowen got back the Spring Festival duty list. She was placed on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, while Gu Mengmeng was on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Xiaowen said with a smile: "Mengmeng, why don't you and I switch? You are worth the fifth grade of junior high school, and I am worth the second grade of junior high school. Let you free up time to go back to your parents' home with your husband!"
Gu Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled sadly.
"No, he may not go home to celebrate the New Year this year."
"Oh, I don't understand what kind of soldier your husband is! He can't be that... spy, right?" Xiaowen, who postponed her wedding, seems to have been chased closely by that man during this period.
Her little face was moist, and her eyes were filled with sympathy.
Gu Mengmeng scolded her for talking nonsense. Conway's career was kept secret from her, let alone ordinary people who didn't know anything.
The two of them were chatting and cleaning up the office, waiting to get off work before going home to celebrate the New Year together.
This year, because of Commander Kang's illness, she applied for a normal leave from the editor-in-chief. In previous years, during the Spring Festival, she was unable to go home. She usually stayed with reporters in the military camp where the central leaders were about to pay their respects, waiting for interviews.
I'm not used to having so many days off this year.
Before getting off work, Xiao Wang from the office next door came in and called her.
"Mengmeng, go downstairs quickly! There are soldiers looking for you."
Gu Mengmeng was burying her head in the photo pile looking for a photo of herself and Conway when she was suddenly interrupted by Xiao Wang's words, which made her head spin for a moment.
Looking at Xiao Wang, she stuttered and asked: "Who?...Who is looking for me?"
Xiao Wang knew that her husband was a soldier, so he teased her: "Go quickly, who else can be the officer who can come to pick you up from get off work?"
Xiaowen chuckled.
Urging her: "I'll help you clean it up. You can get down quickly."
Gu Mengmeng groaned, stood up sheepishly, rubbed her hands on the hem of her military uniform and walked towards the door.
Her steps were gentle at first, but turned into long strides when she reached the corridor. When she saw that the elevator was still on the upper floor, she simply turned and entered the stairwell. Seeing no one, it took her less than half a minute to climb the five-story stairs.
Then she came down. When she reached the door, she completely let go of the joy that was swelling in her chest and ran towards the military green color.
Close, close...
Closer...
Then, her eyes that were originally full of joy suddenly dimmed, and her cheerful running legs gradually slowed down as if they were filled with lead. The soldier opposite saw her, with surprise in his eyes, and hurriedly walked
He stepped forward to greet her, saluted her with a military salute, and said sonorously: "Sister-in-law--Happy New Year!"
Gu Mengmeng was caught off guard. She grabbed the hem of her clothes and said, "Qiao Jun, what are you doing! It's not the first day of the new year yet!"
The soldier who came was tall and handsome, with gentle eyebrows and smiles that turned into flowers.
"He Tuan said that he must bring the New Year goodies with him."
"Thank you, and thank you for congratulations!" She felt that the sense of loss just now was diluted by the New Year atmosphere brought by Qiao Jun.
"Sister-in-law, this is the holiday allowance and condolences given by the army to the military wives. I came to the city to do business, so I just brought it to you." Qiao Jun put a red envelope into Gu Mengmeng's hand, and then put a box of two apples
