Chapter 282 Short Vacation
Arnold arranged a senior combat staff position for Ron and asked him to follow Gray Wolf to the Philippines. The preliminary work for the Philippine campaign has been basically completed, and the battle is about to begin. However, General Arnold is still very humane and gives Ron a break.
Had a 5-day vacation.
"Ron, you haven't been home for a long time? Besides, you haven't brought your girlfriend home yet?" General Arnold said, "You still have a few days before the battle starts. Well, I'll give you 5
A few days should be enough for you to take your girlfriend home and have a look."
"Thank you, General." Ron said sincerely.
That afternoon, Ron boarded a passenger plane bound for Los Angeles. As a recipient of the Medal of Honor, Ron received some privileges, one of which was free travel on passenger planes. McDonnell Douglas' DC-3 passenger plane was actually
The civil aviation model of the C-47 transport aircraft equipped by the US military. However, the DC-3 as a civil aircraft is still much more comfortable than the C-47 as a transport aircraft. Not to mention anything else, the adjustable sofa seat in the DC-3 is more comfortable than the C-47 transport aircraft.
c-
The folding chairs inside 47 were much more comfortable. The plane taxied on the runway and then slowly flew up. When the plane began to turn into level flight, Ron lowered the back of the sofa a little and leaned on it comfortably.
Above. At this time, the plane was slowly climbing at a small angle. Looking out of the window, one could see clouds. These clouds were brightly illuminated by the sun, and those huge clouds looked like
A made snow mountain sparkles in the sun.
This kind of scene was something Ron was used to seeing. He had been injured since he was injured, and he hadn't been to the sky for a while. This kind of scene made him suddenly feel a sense of intimacy.
"General, aren't you going to take a rest?" Scott said. Yesterday, Ron just flew back to the United States from the United Kingdom across the Atlantic Ocean, and today he has to cross the entire North American continent, flying from the east to the west. He didn't even care about the jet lag.
Yes. Logically speaking, he should be very tired.
"Ah, Scott, if you are tired, just take a nap. You don't know, I feel refreshed as soon as I sit on the plane. Besides, although I didn't sleep well last night, it would be best if I didn't sleep.
Don't sleep and stay up until night so that you can reverse the jet lag." Ron replied.
"General, the vacation is only five days, ah!" Scott yawned loudly and continued, "We have just reversed the jet lag by then, and we will have to go to the Philippines to offset the jet lag again. I don't understand anyway.
I'd better take a nap first." He also sat on the back of the sofa, closed his eyes, and added, "General, I'll take a nap first and call me if you need anything."
…
When the plane arrived at the Los Angeles Airport, it was already the time for the lights to start. An army aviation unit stationed nearby sent them two jeeps and drove them into downtown Los Angeles.
"General, we have booked a hotel for you. Do you want to go now?" asked the driver sent by the local army.
"Well, what time is it now?" Ron asked.
"General, it's six o'clock now," the driver replied.
"Okay, let's go to the hotel first." Ron said.
…
It was already seven o'clock when Ron arrived at the hotel. Coincidentally, this hotel was the same one Ron visited last time. The driver there dropped Ron and Scott to the hotel and turned around and left.
, and also left a Jeep to Ron.
"Scott, I'm going out for a trip, you just stay in the hotel by yourself." Ron said.
"Ah, General, don't you want to go to the theater?" Scott said, "You'd better let me follow you. You need a driver now."
…
When Ron came to the door of the theater, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening. The performance inside had already started for a while, and of course the ticket sales had stopped. However, after a while of Scott's busy work, Ron still got in.
Opportunity. However, although the theater was not full, there were no seats in the front row. Ron had to find a seat slightly further back and sit down.
What is being performed on the stage is "The Death of the Swan", which is already one of Nadya's best repertoires. Now, the piece is coming to an end. Under the gentle vibrato of the cello, Nadya's arms are doing this.
The last trembling, like the last struggle of a dying swan, she
Her blurred vision was sweeping across the whole place. Suddenly, her eyes flashed with jewel-like light, and a shallow, happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Then, her head slowly lowered.
, his arms stopped shaking, as if he had fallen into an extremely happy dream.
The curtain on the stage came down, and Ron was about to get up and go backstage. Unexpectedly, an old man sitting next to Ron suddenly said to Ron: "Hey, man, you came really late. I missed it."
There have been several shows. But it’s better to come early than to come by chance. You just happened to see the most exciting scene. Did you notice Nadya’s performance just now? Yes, it was the last part. I
I never thought that someone could express this scene like she did. Oh my God, I seemed to be able to see the kingdom of heaven from her eyes and her movements. Yes, just now, the glory of the kingdom of heaven was in her.
Those white trembling wings are shining! This is really a wonderful performance! It’s great! If I were forty years younger, I would definitely chase her crazily.”
Ron couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that this old man was also a ballet lover, and his comments were quite accurate. And hearing that his girlfriend was praised by others also greatly boosted Ron's vanity.
of satisfaction.
Ron stood up and said to the old man: "Mr., you spoke very well. After what you said, I thought about it and realized that today's performance was indeed different. But I'm afraid I can't continue discussing with you.
That’s the question, I have something else to do, so I’d like to excuse myself first.”
"Ah, then go ahead." The old man said. Seeing Ron walking out with a cane, the old man sighed: "There are not many young men who love art like this. I rushed to watch the show before my injury healed."
."
Entering the backstage was much easier than entering the theater, because some of the staff backstage already recognized Ron.
"Ah, General Ron? Your foot injury is not a big problem! Just now Nadya asked me to tell you that she is changing clothes and will be out soon." A staff member who came to the backstage door to wait for Ron said to Luo
En said this and brought a chair for her.
Women always change clothes very slowly. Ron sat there and estimated that it took him about four cigarettes to finish before he saw Nadya come out of the No. 1 dressing room over there.
Nadya wore this long black dress. This tight black dress made her small face and bare arms look particularly shiny and white, just like the best mutton-fat jade.
The slender long skirt also accentuated her graceful figure.
"Why are you back?" Nadya said angrily, "You didn't even write a letter to inform me. I was not mentally prepared at all. I saw you suddenly on the stage just now, and I almost made a fool of myself.
Got it!"
"How is this possible? I clearly heard others praising you for your excellent performance in the last part. An old man said this: 'Oh my God, I seem to be able to see the kingdom of heaven from her eyes and her movements.
.Yes, just now, the brilliance of heaven shone on her white trembling wings! This is really a wonderful performance! Great! If I were forty years younger, I would definitely chase it crazily.
I also think your performance has made another breakthrough. I think you should kiss me to express your gratitude... I wrote you a letter as soon as I arrived in the United States yesterday." Ron said, and then he
Suddenly I realized something, that is, I only stayed in Washington, D.C., for one night and half the day before flying over. And my letter was probably still on the way. I must have gotten in front of the letter.
"Ah, look, I guess I must have run in front of the letter." Ron smiled.
"You're still laughing! What are you doing running so fast? You didn't even come here after taking a good rest. Are your legs okay?" Nadya gently picked up her pink fist and lightly knocked on Ron's chest.
, which made Ron's heart itch. Then he asked about Ron's legs with concern.
"It's much better than the last time you saw it." Ron said, "You can basically walk on your own now... Well, it's a bit crowded here, should we go for a walk?"
"Yes." Nadya responded in a low voice, as if she had just discovered that many people were staring at her. So a slight blush appeared on her delicate little face.
"Oh, it's a bit cold outside, you need to prepare another coat." Ron said.
…
"You mean, you just returned to the United States last night, attended a meeting this morning, took a flight all afternoon, and then came here as soon as you got off the plane?" Nadya said, "You are still a wounded person.
How can you be so tired?" Nadya's hands held Ron's arms and helped him walk along an avenue. Ron felt that in addition to these two tender little hands, there was something that would appear from time to time as he walked.
Rub it on his arm, it feels soft and elastic.
"No, you have to go and rest." Nadya said, "I don't want you to fall down from exhaustion."
"Then will you stay with me tonight?" Ron said. Seeing that Nadya seemed to have some objection, he quickly added: "I am a wounded person and need someone to take care of me."
"Humph, I know you have bad intentions! Don't you have an adjutant? Why do you keep bothering me?" Nadya said.
"Because, you are my wife." Ron said with a smile.
"What nonsense!" Nadya said, but she didn't mean to refuse. After a while, she asked again: "Where do you live?"
