[Military Text] Special Era

[-].

In July, the Canglang base had just completed the selection process, and then ushered in Jiang Zhong's funeral.

Jiang Zhong's body was not found in its entirety, so he had to cremate the parts he found and put them in an urn until his family members came to collect them.Zu Tiange took the initiative to report and ask for a vacation, but in fact he wanted to send the ashes of his old superior back to his hometown for resettlement.That's good too, Zu Tiange hasn't been home for several years, this time he just took a family leave, in addition to escorting Jiang Zhong's ashes to Hebei, he can also take a look back home.

Zu Tiange packed his luggage in the dormitory, with his back to the door, his hands kept busy.

Wen Rui came out of the Information Squadron. Canglang's hardware facilities are better than those of the old army, but they are still far behind the specialized research institutes.If he had been studying for both masters and doctorates back then, he might have ended up in a research institute instead of a front-line army.What on earth is he thinking?Wen Rui himself was also a little confused, it was just a matter of thought.

When Wen Rui went back, Zu Tiange was sitting in the dormitory waiting for him.

"You haven't left yet?" Wen Rui was taken aback.

Zu Tiange crossed his legs and put his luggage aside, "I'm going back to Fengcheng after sending off the captain. If you need anything, you can tell me."

Fengcheng is the hometown of Zu Tiange and Wen Rui, a prosperous modern metropolis.As the name suggests, Maple City is rich in maple trees, with shade in summer and red leaves in autumn.It is understood that Wen Rui has never returned home since he joined the army. Zu Tiange didn't know why, but he was too lazy to go home to see the old man, but what about Wen Rui?

"I don't have any needs." After thinking for a while, Wen Rui said, "Bring me some maple syrup."

Maple leaf sugar is a special product of Maple City. The sugar body is made into the shape of a maple leaf, the color is crystal clear red, and the taste is mellow and sweet. It is actually a kind of wine sugar.

Zu Tiange frowned, "That's all? Then what do you need me to bring back for you?"

Wen Rui shook his head.

Zu Tiange didn't hide his doubts, and Wen Rui deliberately pretended not to see it.

"Hey!"

"Hey what!"

Zu Tiange found that Wen Rui had been more and more casual with him in private since they slept together, and didn't take him as the vice captain seriously at all.He stood up and picked up the luggage bag, "Forget it, I'm leaving."

"Go away." Wen Rui sat at the table and fiddled with the computer.

Zu Tiange slapped Wen Rui on the back of the head, "Be smart, wait for me to come back." If I remember correctly, Wen Rui's first actual combat is coming soon, this time it must be real, more than real gold Really.

Wen Rui's sharp eyes turned into knives and flew towards Zu Tiange, but when the latter was about to disappear by the door, he suddenly said: "My condolences."

Zu Tiange stopped in his tracks, half of his face was exposed by the door frame, "Thank you."

On the second day after Zu Tiange left, the team practiced as usual, but sitting alone in the empty dormitory at night, his face was reflected blue by the computer screen, making him look a little creepy.Another day later, a call came from the team, and Li Ye asked Wen Rui to go to the office to find him.Just standing still, before saluting, Li Ye extinguished his unsmoked cigarette in the ashtray, worry in his voice, "Wen Rui, your father called just now, you..."

Wen Rui stared at Li Ye strangely.

"You haven't taken your family-visiting leave this year, so go back and pack up and go to the funeral."

"A funeral?" Wen Rui raised his voice, but he didn't panic.

"Your brother was in a car accident and left yesterday morning."

Brother... Wen Rui's head buzzed, and he couldn't speak for a long time.This year is unlucky and seems to be particularly prone to death.Wen Rui walked back with his head drooping. Mu Sheng was having another meal on the opposite side of the playground, and was tortured by Jia Peng until tears and nose flowed together.

That afternoon, Wen Rui called to book a train ticket at 07:30 the next morning.There were a lot of people on the train, because it was summer vacation, many students were led by their parents to travel.Fortunately, Wen Rui only sat for a few stops. He leaned on the window and looked at the passing scenery outside, thinking of 22-year-old Wen Jie.

In a moment of life, Fanghua passed away.

Speaking of which, he used to be very jealous of Wen Jie, just like Zu Tiange.Wen Jie has what he expects but can never get, such as complete father's love and mother's love.I remember my bedroom that can be seen through at a glance, and my childhood with faded colors. I often walked alone in the rain with an umbrella, and silently missed my mother who was far away in heaven.

When the car arrived at the station, Wen Rui stood out in the crowd in a uniform.No one came to pick him up, because there was a funeral at home, and even if there was no funeral, no one would come to pick him up.

Looking at the familiar city, the familiar street, and the familiar maple forest, Wen Rui took out his mobile phone and dialed the familiar number, but in the end it didn't connect.He hailed a taxi, reported the address to the driver, and stared at the familiar scenery all the way.

A quarter of an hour later, the driver said, "Comrade soldier, we're here."

Wen Rui handed over the money and got out of the car with the travel bag.

Maple City Garden.

A tacky name, but it is a high-end residential area, Wen Rui sighed, and walked in with heavy steps.

"Huh? Wen Rui is back. Joined the army?" The doorman is a middle-aged man who has worked here for more than ten years and watched Wen Rui grow up.At this moment, he waved his hands excitedly, and then put on a sad expression, "Come back to see Wenjie off?"

Wen Rui said, "Yes."

"Tsk tsk, what a pity, so young." The guard kept shaking his head.

Wen Rui forced a smile and walked quickly to Qidong.The floor was very high, he didn't wait for the elevator, but directly climbed the stairs in a primitive way.The house is on the top floor, two floors of duplex. Wen Rui looked at the anti-theft door, took a breath, and took out the key.The keyhole rang once, but the door was opened from the inside.Wen Rui's father, Wen Shaobo, was about to go out with a thermos. When he saw his son, his tired and red eyes suddenly became more energetic.

"Are you back?" His voice was hoarse, "Your Aunt Xiao is sick and in the hospital."

"Dad." Wen Rui looked down at the thermos.

"Go in and rest first. There are noodles in the refrigerator. You can cook something and I'll be back in the afternoon." Wen Shaobo raised his hand and touched Wen Rui's face, "Go, your brother will have a funeral tomorrow."

In fact, Wen Rui thought his father would ask him to go to the hospital together, but now it seems... Forget it.Wen Rui walked in docilely, and there was a knocking sound at the door.Nothing has changed in the house, including the placement of the furniture and the paintings on the walls.The painting is the masterpiece of Xiao Shumin, who is Wen Rui's stepmother, a well-known painter.She painted many portraits of Wen Jie, and they were placed in Wen Jie's room from childhood to adulthood.Wen Rui's room was on the second floor with a small balcony.Pushing open the door, lifting the white cloth covering the furniture, Wen Rui walked onto the balcony, where a light green armchair was placed, a very cool color, but covered with dust.

Looking at the lights of the city from a high place is like falling stars.Standing on the guardrail with both hands, not only tears fell here, but also the lost time.In fact, Wen Jie is a very good younger brother, but his younger brother has already left, where he can't see him.
