Chapter 2: 2 A country girl came to the compound 1
Text - This book is based on a true story more than 20 years ago.
City a, a residential area for high-ranking officials in a certain military division.
A military vehicle drove over. When the sentry on duty at the gate saw the license plate number, he immediately stood at attention, saluted, and opened the crossbar to let him through.
The military vehicle drove directly into the community and stopped. A young soldier got out of the vehicle, quickly ran to the back and opened the door, respectfully waiting for the people in the vehicle.
A tall, gray-haired old man got out of the car.
The old man was wearing a military uniform and looked calm and intimidating, which gave people a strong sense of oppression.
The old man is Ling Hongjun, a senior officer in a certain military division.
Ling Hongjun looked around and found nothing that dissatisfied him. He turned back to the car and said: "Ya'er, come down!"
When this majestic old man said this, his tone was so kind that people couldn't help but guess who was in the car. Who could make this fearful old man say such gentle words?
The young soldier's hand was still holding the car door. After waiting for a long time, the people in the car had not gotten out yet.
Liu Ya'er was sitting in the back seat, looking at the high-rise buildings outside through the car window, feeling very nervous.
For this seventeen-year-old country girl who had never left the mountains, these beautiful buildings made her feel depressed and inexplicably panicked.
After a while, she saw the young soldier holding the car door waiting for her. She was embarrassed to sit down again, and then slowly walked out.
Liu Ya'er got out of the car, looked at the luxurious buildings, then looked at her homespun clothes, blue trousers, and a pair of rubber shoes full of yellow mud on her feet. She felt that her clothes were so incompatible with these houses.
The coordination reached the extreme, and she became even more nervous!
The majestic Ling Hongjun looked at her, his face became kind again, and said: "Come! Ya'er, come in with me!"
Liu Ya'er followed Ling Hongjun and came to a unit building.
Ling Hongjun pressed a series of numbers on the door, the door opened, and he took Liu Ya'er in.
Ling Hongjun's home was on the first floor. Liu Ya'er watched him step through the door and heard a clear female voice: "You're back? Did you find him?"
A middle-aged woman walked out of the room, wearing an apron and wiping water on the apron with her hands.
Liu Ya'er guessed the identity of this middle-aged woman, thinking she should be Ling Hongjun's wife.
But looking at age, middle-aged women seem to be much younger.
Ling Hongjun replied: "I found him. I brought his daughter back."
"Really? Where?" the middle-aged woman asked happily.
Sun Hongmei walked behind Ling Hongjun and saw a pretty girl standing at the door. She was dressed very simply. She looked like she had just been brought out from the countryside.
Sun Hongmei asked with a smile on her face: "Is this Brother Liu's daughter?"
"Yeah." Ling Hongjun turned around and said, "Ya'er! Come in! This is your Aunt Sun Hongmei!"
Liu Ya'er timidly shouted: "Aunt Sun!"
Looking at the beautifully decorated floor, Liu Ya'er hesitated to step forward, like a little beggar entering the palace, she felt at a loss.
Sun Hongmei hurriedly came over and took her hand: "Ouch! Brother Liu Dalin's daughter is so old? What is your name? How old is she?"
Without waiting for Liu Ya'er to answer, she said again: "Come! Come! Come! Come in first, come in and sit down before we talk, have you been in the car for a long time? Are you dizzy? Come on! Drink a glass of water first!"
Liu Ya'er was enthusiastically pulled into the room by her, sat down on the sofa, and answered her questions in a low voice while drinking the water she handed her.
"Your name is Liu Ya'er? Are you seventeen years old?" Sun Hongmei repeated Liu Ya'er's answer.
