It is not an exaggeration to call the Fengfeng Banquet the "Hongmen Banquet".
In the middle of the banquet, the sensitive and intelligent Gong Xue had already noticed Captain Qin's motives. He deliberately called Political Commissar Zeng and two other non-commissioned officers to accompany him, hoping that they would come forward to speak out and persuade him to give up the idea of becoming a special forces soldier.
"I'm done eating." Gong Xue put down her chopsticks first. She wiped her mouth with a tissue and stood up. "Captain Qin, can I talk to you."
Qin Mo followed suit and put down his chopsticks. A thoughtful look appeared on his deeply lined face, "Okay."
The night in southern Xinjiang is so beautiful, the black velvet sky is dotted with twinkling stars.
The atmosphere at the base is peaceful, especially on the road leading to the highlands, where you can't even hear the chirping of insects or birds.
"The plateau brought me here." Gong Xue pushed aside the shadowy bushes in front of her and found the path leading to the plateau.
"There are snakes in the mountains, you walk behind me." Qin Mo turned on the mini flashlight he carried with him and pulled Gong Xue behind him.
There was no words all the way. When they reached the top of the peak, Gong Xue pointed to a huge bluestone under the whistling tree and said, "Captain Qin, please sit with me for a while."
The mountain breeze blew slowly across my face, and the lights of the base in the distance were twinkling, giving people an ethereal and unreal feeling.
Gong Xue pulled off the withered grass on the side and played with it in her hand. Then, with a deep look in her eyes, she took the initiative and said: "I am already an adult. After so many years of walking and experiencing, I understand that the future is not a child's play. But
People's choices often have a lot to do with experience. Like me, before I met Plateau, I even hated the special profession of special forces. Because it is too cruel, realistic, and ruthless. Black is black, white is white, and life is
Life and death are always so pure that people have no choice... Captain Qin, to be honest, I did enter the military because of the plateau, but becoming a special female soldier is something I have carefully considered
The final decision. You know, I have no merits as a person. I just like to compete with fate and refuse to admit defeat. So... you should stop trying to persuade me..."
Qin Mo was so shocked by her words that he was speechless for a while.
"Captain Qin, I know that you sincerely care about me and love me. You don't want me to follow in the footsteps of the plateau and engage in an extremely dangerous profession. For this, I also want to thank you for your thoughtfulness." Gong
Xue took out a deposit receipt from her pocket and handed it to Captain Qin, "This is the living expenses you and Gao Yuan's parents have remitted to me over the past year. Please take it back."
Qin Mo remained silent and did not pick up the deposit slip that contained so many people's love and care.
With difficulty, she avoided Gong Xue's bright eyes and said, "This... I can't accept it."
Gong Xue directly put the deposit receipt into Qin Mo's hand, "If you don't accept it, I have to accept it, because I don't use that card anymore. If you feel embarrassed about this money, just treat it as a donation from Gao Yuan and me.
, I don’t care how you use it, even if it is used as maintenance fees, treatment fees, resettlement fees...anything is fine, use it to help those soldiers who really need help...You say, okay?"
Qin Mo was silent again.
There were too many times when he was speechless today. There were expected and some unexpected results, which made him, a veteran with more than 20 years of military experience, feel that his behavior was unworthy of Gong Xue, who was so transparent and righteous.
..
On the way to send Gong Xue to her family room, Gong Xue asked about Hua Jingyi, the beautiful military wife who filled her heart with warmth whenever she thought of it.
When Qin Mo talked about his beloved wife, his usually stern eyes softened. He chuckled a few times and said, "She...is not in Kunming yet. She is running around in southern Xinjiang and has been clamoring for a child, but...
..Haha, I never got pregnant." Qin Mo took off his military cap, scratched his head, and sighed guiltily: "Sigh...Anyway, I treat you like your sister-in-law...in this life, I will wait until I retire.
Stay with her well."
Gong Xue felt sad and asked Qin Mo if all military wives had such hard work.
Qin Mo smiled deeply, looked at the dim lights in the family room and sighed: "Whether you are suffering or not depends on how a person understands and treats it. Some people think that eating sweets every day is hard work, but some people think that eating sweets every day is hard work.
Living in a thatched house with the one you love is also the sweetest thing in the world. The boundary between bitterness and non-bitterness varies from person to person, from time to time, and from place to place. It is not so absolute at all. You say, right?
Xiaoxue?”
Gong Xue nodded thoughtfully..
Qin Mo's words made the figure of Long Zhan appear in her mind. The soldier with an extremely strong heart used his broad mind to endure hardship without speaking out and guarded the pure holy land of love...
Gong Xue returned to Kunming in the evening of the next day.
The first thing he did after returning to school was to find Long Zhan to sell off his leave.
When she went there, Suolinchuan and several key members of the class were having a meeting in Long Zhan's office, and life teacher Hu Yilan was also there. When they saw Gong Xue push the door open and come in, their faces suddenly showed expressions of relief.
Gong Xue raised her eyebrows and looked at them in confusion, "Instructor... I'll come back later."
"You're here just in time. Let's discuss the content of the meeting with them. What suggestions do you have for our class to participate in this cultural performance?" Long Zhan pointed to the empty sofa and motioned for her to sit down first.
Gong Xue stood in astonishment, then shook her head, "Let me listen to everyone's opinions first."
Unexpectedly, the seat assigned to her by Long Zhan was right next to Suolinchuan. After she sat down, Suolinchuan handed over the glass of water that he had not drank from, and whispered: "Drink some hot water, why do you look like this?"
.”
Gong Xue subconsciously rubbed her face, moved her lips, and asked him silently: "Is it ugly?" She had trouble sleeping last night, and she had been riding in the car for another day, so her complexion must not be much better.
Suolinchuan nodded, and then asked in a worried low voice: "Where have you been? Why didn't you say anything..."
Gong Xue smiled and took Quan as an answer.
"Suolinchuan, please tell me how you think about it." Long Zhan pointed to Suolinchuan.
After thinking carefully for a few seconds, Suolinchuan said: "I don't think the drunkard in school is interested in drinking."
Long Zhan frowned. This Suolinchuan asked him to come up with ideas for a show, but he came to disrupt the situation.
Suolinchuan continued: "Think about it, everyone. The school has a mandatory rule that we can only participate in the performance by cooperating with natural students. Isn't it just to let all the teachers and students in the school see how united and harmonious the national defense students and natural students in the School of Computer Science are?"
In this case, I think we should just make a program with novel ideas that is friendly to the people, okay?"
"People-friendly programs?" Everyone is confused... What are people-friendly programs?
Suo Linchuan touched his nose and smiled, his narrow eyes sparkling, "Being virtuous, being close to the people, and ending with the best. Being close to the people means making people abandon the old and pursue the new, abandon evil and do good. To put it bluntly, the culture of being close to the people
It is mass culture and people-friendly ideas are put into this cultural performance. It is a program that can reflect the real life of national defense students and natural students. What do you think?"
