The military compound located at the foot of Shijing Mountain represents Yanjing's strongest garrison. Du's father's residence here is a two-story building with a high level.
He did not explain the specific reason for the call on the phone, but just asked Lin Chaoyang to come to the military region when he was free.
Lin Chaoyang rushed to the house on Sunday and brought Tao Yushu to the door.
The person who opened the door for the two of them was her aunt Qi Hongying, who smiled brightly when she saw the two of them.
"Yushu, Chaoyang, you are here, come in quickly!"
"Look at you, what else are you buying as a family?"
Lin Chaoyang said with a smile: "Auntie, we juniors come to visit us, so why don't we come empty-handed?"
"Really!" Qi Hongying took the things, let the two of them into the room, and poured tea, "Your uncle said yesterday that you two were coming. But he has something to do at the moment and is still outside. You two
Please wait a moment."
"It's okay, let's wait for a while." Tao Yu wrote.
The principal was temporarily absent, so Qi Hongying chatted with Lin Chaoyang.
"Oh, I didn't expect that! I heard Du Feng say a few days ago that Chaoyang is now a writer."
"Auntie, I just got lucky enough to publish a novel."
Qi Hongying said with a smile: "Well, how can there be any reason to be lucky? Du Feng's virtue can't be improved even if you ask him to be lucky."
It is a common practice of Chinese parents to praise other people's children by belittling their own children.
Lin Chaoyang followed her words and asked: "By the way, why haven't you seen Du Feng recently?"
As soon as the question came out of his mouth, Lin Chaoyang noticed something was wrong with Qi Hongying's face. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Oh! It's not because of that girlfriend."
girlfriend?
"As you all know, Uncle You sent Du Feng to the front some time ago, and the girl also went.
I’m not very clear on the details of this, but someone in the courtyard told me a few days ago that the girl fell in love at first sight with a fighting hero in the south.”
"Ah! This..."
Leave the military second generation alone and find a fighting hero?
If this were done thirty years later, I don’t know how many compatriots who claim to be sober in the world would be beating their chests and stamping their feet.
Has this woman been kicked in the head by a donkey?
But in this hot era, this thing seems normal.
At least from Lin Chaoyang's perspective, he admires this "ex-sister-in-law" whom he has never met.
Of course, the one who suffered the most in the whole incident was my brother-in-law Du Feng.
When someone steals a girlfriend, it's hard for anyone to do it. If this were to follow the plot of the TV series, Du Feng, a second-generation soldier, would definitely have to play a villain role and cause trouble for the other party.
But Lin Chaoyang guessed that with his uncle's temper, if Du Feng dared to trouble the lovers, he could break Du Feng's legs.
Lin Chaoyang felt aggrieved for his brother-in-law just thinking about it.
This second generation of the army is not a good person!
After chatting with Qi Hongying for less than half an hour, uncle Du Ruolin came back. He first said hello to Lin Chaoyang, then took off his military uniform jacket, revealing the white shirt underneath, and said to Lin Chaoyang: "Let's go.
Let’s talk in the study!”
"I heard that Du Feng is working on a novel with you recently?"
"Yes. Du Feng has grown a lot since he came back from the south. He happened to know about my current creative work, so he suggested that I write a story about the soldiers and found a lot of information for me."
Hearing this, Du Ruolin's face showed a bit of relief.
"What information is there?"
He was overjoyed, but Du Ruolin was still worried, fearing that Du Feng was ignorant and showed Lin Chaoyang documents he shouldn't have read.
"They are all things he has access to and have made public, and some are correspondence between him and his comrades, asking everyone to help provide some information and details at the time."
Hearing what Lin Chaoyang said, Du Ruolin felt relieved.
"Chaoyang, that kid Du Feng is causing trouble for you."
"Not to mention trouble, he has brought me some creative nourishment."
Du Ruolin asked: "Have you started writing yet?"
"Not yet. But the general outline is already there. I think I can start writing it in the next few days."
"After you finish writing, show it to me."
This kind of work involving the ongoing war will inevitably go through some review.
Lin Chaoyang also understood what Du Ruolin meant and nodded, "Okay."
Seeing Lin Chaoyang's serious face, Du Ruolin showed a rare smile and said: "Don't be pressured. As long as it is not deliberately smearing or tampering, the army will not have any objections. If you really write well, I will transfer you to the army.
"
"Transferred to the army?" Lin Chaoyang was a little surprised.
"Why don't you want to? I heard from your mother that you don't have an establishment at Yanda yet. Our army doesn't have so many restrictions. As long as you have the strength, I will give you a job immediately!"
Du Ruolin's tone was decisive, which was the confidence brought by having great power.
In the few years after the buzz ended, the army's cultural and publicity team expanded rapidly. These two years should be the climax, but it will not be enough in another two or three years. By then, a large number of art troupes and publicity teams will be included in the list.
Abolition list.
Compared with the members of the art troupe and propaganda team, military writers still have a much higher status, and it is easier to get promoted, as long as they produce works, but Lin Chaoyang is not interested in this.
The work in the library is just to reassure his wife and family members. Joining the army may be a dream to others, but to him it is useless.
"Uncle, I'm quite used to working in the library, and now I can take classes from famous teachers every day. I'm happier than going to college."
Students at Yanda are also affected by courses and activities, but Lin Chaoyang is different. As long as he says hello to his colleagues, he can attend classes at any time.
"Hahaha! Okay, if our Du Feng was half as studious as you, he wouldn't be so incompetent."
Du Ruolin didn't care at all about being rejected, but admired Lin Chaoyang's attitude very much.
"Du Feng's innocent heart has just not been finalized yet."
"You two are not even two years apart in age, but your tone makes you feel a decade older than him."
Lin Chaoyang smiled and said: "Marriage makes men mature."
Du Ruolin laughed again. He and Lin Chaoyang only had a rough impression when they met during the Chinese New Year. After meeting and talking in detail today, he found that his nephew and son-in-law was actually a wonderful person.
After the conversation ended, Du Ruolin and Lin Chaoyang came out together. Aunt Qi Hongying was preparing lunch and Tao Yushu was helping.
Three of the four children of the Du family are married and living abroad. Du Feng usually lives in the dormitory of the cultural troupe.
Because he had just returned from the south, the army had granted him a period of leave and he had been living at home.
However, he has not left the house in the past few days, his girlfriend ran away, and he is depressed.
After having dinner at Du's house at noon, Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu returned to Yanda, and Du Feng chased them.
I haven't seen him for several days. Du Feng now looks haggard and unshaven, and he looks a bit like "I'm so haggard because of Yixiao".
"I didn't show up when I was at your house just now. Why are you here now?" Tao Yushu asked unfavorably.
"I'm looking for my brother-in-law."
Du Feng pulled Lin Chaoyang aside, lowered his head and said hesitantly: "Brother-in-law, that novel... don't write it."
Lin Chaoyang observed Du Feng's expression and could probably guess Du Feng's psychology. On one side, he was planning to write a novel to praise the fighting heroes, but on the other side, his girlfriend ran away with the fighting heroes, and no one was happy about it.
But who can be blamed for this?
He did not directly answer Du Feng's words, but turned around and took out a cigarette from the closet.
Du Feng saw the cigarette and thought it looked familiar. Lin Chaoyang said: "You gave it to me last time before you left. I didn't dare to open it, thinking that if you were honored, this would be the last gift my brother-in-law gave me.
It’s very memorable.”
Du Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought of his experience in the south again and felt a little confused. "Brother-in-law..."
Lin Chaoyang unpacked the package, opened a box of cigarettes, took out two cigarettes, and took one each for Du Feng.
Light the cigarette, take a deep breath, and exhale, causing smoke to instantly fill the room.
"How is it?" Lin Chaoyang asked.
"Comfortable!" Du Feng said while holding a cigarette and squinting his eyes.
"How many people can't smoke this cigarette anymore!"
After hearing this, Du Feng's cigarette hung from the corner of his mouth, his expression was blank, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
The smoke filled the air until his fingers felt burning, and he finally regained consciousness.
"Brother-in-law..." Du Feng wanted to say something.
"We are also people who have been on the battlefield. The situation is a bit more open. Although we may not necessarily be regarded as fighting heroes in this life, we are still upright men!"
Lin Chaoyang held a cigarette in one hand and pinched his waist with the other, slapping Fang Qiu with such heroic spirit that Du Feng suddenly felt as if he were looking up at a mountain.
I couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed, because of my narrow-mindedness, and because of my lard.
"Brother-in-law, you are right, I listen to you!" Du Feng said with firm eyes.
Lin Chaoyang nodded happily.
I haven’t used chicken soup for a long time. I’m trying my hand at it today and my skills are still strong.
Chapter completed!
