No.20 Section Two

In fact, Huzi’s side is not far from the place where the railway goes, and it takes only one day to drive there. Early the next morning, the railway borrowed a car from Huzi’s side. It turned out that Huzi had to send a driver to keep up. However, Gao Jianguo refused.

Gao Jianguo felt that although the matter was not a big deal, he didn't want people to know what the railway had done to him. He felt a little ashamed.

It didn't matter if he was driving alone. Gao Jianguo raised the speed of the car to the highest speed and circled the mountain road for several hours and arrived at the destination two hours earlier than scheduled.

After finding the army camp, the boy from the railway ran out within a few minutes after dialing the inside line.

"Commander, you are here."

With a cold snort, Gao Jianguo raised his head, "Are you not in trouble?"

"of course not."

The railway opened the door generously, got on the car and sat down, "Battle Commander, you got a sharpshooter!"

"Hmph, where can I not find a sharpshooter?"

"But this one is the strongest!"

Railway was grinning, not at all afraid of Gao Jianguo's cold face.

Being accompanied by his shameless laughter, Gao Jianguo couldn't bear it any longer, and slapped him, "I knew it would cause trouble for me."

"Hey, that's your old subordinate too, it's right to take care of him."

"Hmph, what a joke, you're forming a gang!"

"No way, I am leaving useful talents for the army. The leader should reward me."

"Reward, I'll give you a few slaps."

He rolled his eyes angrily, and the car had already parked in front of the barracks office area.

After meeting several leaders of this battalion, he found that the instructor here was still a comrade in arms he had met several times before. After not entering or leaving, he still couldn't help but stare at the railway, and then discussed the transfer issue with them, and it was considered a deal.

However, Gao Jianguo felt that it was too much of a loss for him to only receive one after such a trip. In the end, it was really embarrassing to spend time with Smiley, so he reluctantly agreed to let Gao Jianguo choose two more people from their reconnaissance company.

In fact, they also know that there are not one or two demobilized fighters facing them now, and they don't have so many places to stay. This is an opportunity, and it can be regarded as a chance for the fighters they are going to leave this year.

After getting a satisfactory result, Gao Jianguo was very happy, so he no longer cared about the way that railway boy deceived him, but this is a lesson, he still needs to teach him a lesson, so that he won't cause other troubles for himself next time.

"Railway, you brat is getting bolder!"

At night, in the dormitory, Gao Jianguo was smoking a cigarette and staring at the railway with a half-smile.

Seriously speaking, Tie Tie is quite guilty. Although he knew that Gao Jianguo would not really do anything to him, it is not impossible to find a chance to scold him once. His old battalion commander is not a good person. There are also quite a few sets of methods for manipulating people.

"Battalion commander, my battalion commander, am I in a hurry, there is a severe shortage of people, and the other troops are unwilling to give us good hands, I am impatient..."

Seeing Gao Jianguo raising his eyebrows, with an expression of you continuing to make up, the railway laughed, "After the squad leader found out about this, he couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well, so he wanted to help in a hurry. The blisters are growing..."

After exhaling a smoke ring, Gao Jianguo narrowed his eyes, "Make it up again."

He laughed dryly a few times, and rubbed his fingers, "Commander, give me a cigarette."

Looking at his expression, Gao Jianguo threw the cigarette case in front of him, "Tell me, don't talk nonsense."

After pulling out the cigarette and lighting it, the railway took several puffs slowly before opening his mouth.

"Battalion Commander, near the end of last year, I took family leave, do you remember?"

"Well, it's the end of November, so I can spare some time. I'm the one who approved your leave."

"My family is in Yunnan. As you know, my grandfather is the only one there. How many times have I told him to pick him up, but he refuses to come."

"I know, Qingrui said that your grandfather is reluctant to part with his old friends over there."

"I have no impression of my father. I only know that he died when I was very young. He was also a soldier. My family only has my grandfather, my mother and her sister. After my mother passed away, it was my aunt and grandfather who took me After she got married, my uncle was also very kind to me. My uncle is also a soldier, but his service unit is in the northwest. Last year, my grandfather was not in good health, so my aunt came from Xi'an to take care of him. On the third day when I went back for vacation, I suddenly received a telegram saying that my uncle suddenly fell ill and was about to die, and my aunt passed out when the telegram was received."

As the railway spoke, he took a puff of cigarette impatiently.

Although he didn't know why he said so much, Gao Jianguo didn't say anything, but just listened silently.

"I accompanied my aunt back to Xi'an, only to know that after all-out rescue, my uncle is out of danger and is fine."

Sighing, Tie Tie smiled, "I was really scared to death at the time. Seeing that my uncle was fine, I finally felt relieved. Both my aunt and my cousin accompanied my uncle around, and I didn't want to be idle, so I helped run around. Running west to buy food and deliver meals is easier than training, but that day, I saw a person." The railway raised his head, "I went to the vegetable market in the morning to help my aunt buy vegetables, and I saw a person. "

Gao Jianguo's heart skipped a beat and he knew why.

"Do you remember Tian Lai?"

Seeing the seriousness of his question, Gao Jianguo paused, and recited it like a memorization, "Tian Lai, born in 1964, from Yulin, Shaanxi Province, joined the army in 1982, became squad leader in 1984, and participated in the Malipo Battle in 1985. Third-class meritorious service, got married after retiring from the army in September of the same year, and was assigned to work in a wholesale station of a local commercial department.”

"I knew you remembered," laughed the railroad, "I saw him."

Gao Jianguo nodded, "He wrote me a letter when he got married, and I wrote back. I haven't heard from him since then."

Railway nodded, "I saw him in the vegetable market that morning."

"What happened?"

Gao Jianguo reacted immediately.

"It's nothing." The railway station had a strange expression, "he's selling vegetables."

"what?"

Gao Jianguo was taken aback.

Around 1985, our country was still in the period of planned economy. Working in the wholesale station of the commercial sector was considered a good job at that time, especially envied by some peasant children from rural areas. Tian Lai is a child from a rural area under Yulin. He endured hardship and was willing to work, and he was assigned to such a place logically, so he should be living well!

"His left hand," the railroad paused, "is crippled."

"what?"

Gao Jianguo stood up abruptly, "He was fine when he was demobilized, there was no problem at all."

Seeing him yelling, the railway shook his head, "It's not an old injury, he fell when he was connecting wires to the unit at work, his left hand was disabled, and he lost his job."

"Fuck, it's a work-related injury, how dare their unit do it?"

"Is there anything I dare to do? I'm just a veteran with such a medal. I have no background and no support. If I can't do the job, I have to be supported by them. People think it's a waste!"

Calmly described, the railway's eyes were cold and cold, "There is no way, at that time his household registration was transferred to a township, the village had no land, and his parents were sick again. In order to support the family, Squad Leader Tian had to look around for a job. But he was unable to do the heavy work without one hand, so he had no choice but to become a vegetable seller. He had no capital to sell vegetables, so he could only work as a laborer for others and carry vegetables to the market for sale.” The railway bowed its head, “ Battalion Commander, you didn’t see that Squad Leader Tian’s thick and dexterous hands are now covered with chilblains, and his fingers are as thick as radishes. That’s because they are all rotten because there is no money to treat them. They are not yet 23 years old, and they are as old as forty .”

Tie Tie's mouth trembled a little, "If I didn't think he looked familiar, I wouldn't have recognized him as the squad leader Tian who ran like a leopard and smiled like a child. Battalion Commander, you know, I was wearing It’s a new style of military uniform, and it’s shiny new. Looking at him and then at me, I’m so ashamed that I can’t lift my head. But Squad Leader Tian just smiled, and comforted me by saying that he is self-sufficient, which is only right and proper. Battalion Commander, he clearly younger than me..."

The following words, the railway can not go on.

The cigarette in Gao Jianguo's hand had already been squeezed out in the palm of his hand, and he didn't feel any pain. He just listened blankly, thought, and recalled that simple and simple farm boy, and his heart throbbed in pain.

His soldier, that's his soldier, he can only smile when he loses money, there is nothing he can do but he doesn't ask him for help, his soldier!

"So, this time, after hearing what happened to Xiao Linzi from the squad leader, I," Tie Tie gritted his teeth, "The situation at Xiao Linzi's family is the same as that of squad leader Tian. If he returns to the village, his life will not be easy in the future. Besides This matter is not his fault, I think, if I can help, I will try my best, I only have this ability..."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Gao Jianguo interrupted him, "Why didn't you tell me about that when you came back?"

The railway shook his head, "Squad leader Tian wouldn't let me tell others. He said that if I told him, he wouldn't recognize him in the future, and he wouldn't want the money I forced him. If I didn't threaten him, I would tell him if he didn't want it. Battalion commander, if the battalion commander will definitely come to him, he will not ask for it."

"How much did you pay?"

"I only had [-] yuan on me at the time, and I stuffed it all in him. As a result, I went to find him the next day, but he was gone. The person next to me said he didn't come. I asked the vegetable vendor where he worked and went to find him. In the end, he said that Squad Leader Tian had resigned. I searched the neighborhood for several days, but I couldn’t find him again. Later, when the leave expired, I had to come back. But I asked my cousin to help me find Squad Leader Tian, ​​but So far, there is no news."

"Where is his house?"

"No. It was because there was no land in the village. After he moved out to work, no one knew where he lived."

"No clue at all?"

"I asked my cousin to look for it at his wife's house, but I haven't heard anything about it yet."

"When you find it, tell me."

"understood."

Agreeing sullenly, Tie Tie turned over and fell on the bed, not wanting to say anything more.

Glancing at him, Gao Jianguo didn't speak any more, and casually fell on the bed, closed his eyes, and thought quietly.

That night, the two of them stayed up all night.
