Chapter 84
Gu Xia suddenly thought of Feng Tiansheng. It must be very cold when he was standing guard there, so he bought another pair of men's big cotton pants and put them on his hair. When he was standing guard outside, he would not be frozen.
After buying these, Gu Xia walked around for a while.
She took a fancy to a big cotton jacket, which was bright red and had a hat. It was very thick and warm. She could spend the winter with a big sweater. The price was not expensive, because there was only one left, so she bought it for 16 yuan.
She was about to get the waiter to take it down, but a woman behind her smiled and said, "Can I want this cotton jacket?"
A man said, "What's wrong with it? You have white skin and look good in red clothes."
Gu Xia listened to the familiar voice and quickly looked back. It was indeed the person he knew, Lin Ziqiang!
Lin Ziqiang was wearing a military coat and looked very energetic, but he should not have been trained, his skin was very good, and he didn't have the temperament of Feng Tiansheng, and he seemed to have gained a little weight.
There was a beautiful girl standing beside Lin Ziqiang, wearing a white cotton jacket and a black scarf, which was the same as Lin Ziqiang's neck. Is it a couple style?
Lin Ziqiang didn’t like the girl last time. He has found another partner, right?
Lin Ziqiang quickly smiled and greeted Gu Xia: "It's such a coincidence that I met you here. Are you doing well recently?" After meeting Gu Xia last time, Lin Ziqiang completely gave up on Gu Xia. When he thought of her, he felt very embarrassed.
He tried very hard to get Gu Xia's favor, but in the end he failed.
Later, he encountered a mission in the north. Lin Ziqiang was stopped by his parents last time and was really angry, but this time he chose to retreat.
His parents asked about the place they were going to, and said that the big guy was going to live in a cave, and they couldn't eat or drink, and they had to perform tasks outside frequently. Many people were sick and had cold legs at a young age.
There are even those with hematuria and kidney failure, so they firmly oppose it.
Lin Ziqiang thought about it for a while and finally chose to give up. He felt that it would not work after all.
This choice made his parents very happy: "That's right! How much money is given to you in a month? Wouldn't you go there and stay at home well? Never learn from others. Those who go to guard are those who have no ability at home. They expect to get a chance to work hard. Our family doesn't need you to do this. No fame and fortune is more important than your health."
Lin Ziqiang felt that his parents' words were a bit unreasonable. Thousands and tens of thousands of people went to the border to suffer. How many people could get fame and fortune? It was all for his own beliefs. But he really didn't have the courage to experience that kind of hard work.
The cold weather at minus 40 degrees Celsius was so cold that half of his body was unconscious, he could not eat or drink, and he could not take a bath for several months. There were also various dangers. A soldier who his father knew fell down a cliff several thousand meters. Someone fell into an ice hole and could not be found in the capital.
His refusal to go means that he has no possibility of progress at all and can only wait to be discharged from the army.
Lin Ziqiang's comrades looked down on him very much and didn't contact him much now. He understood in his heart and didn't care much, anyway, he would retreat immediately.
Since the last time he met Gu Xia in the cinema, he has become a mentality of throwing his head. Forget it, it doesn’t matter if he can’t be successful. It’s completely different from what he used to be hard-working.
But his parents thought he was sensible. It seemed that he had grown up and persuaded him to enter the next stage of his life. He compromised.
The girl is named Yu Jing. She is a teacher at the kindergarten affiliated to the group. She can sing and dance. Her parents have some background. Her family is in good condition. Lin Ziqiang thinks that the girl has good conditions and looks good, so the two get along.
Lin Ziqiang looked at Gu Xia and said with some self-deprecating words, "I feel that I am still not suitable for joining the army, have you disappointed?"
Gu Xia quickly said, "Why are you disappointed? There are 360 professions, and you will definitely succeed in everything you do."
Lin Ziqiang smiled bitterly, and he knew very well how failed he had.
At that time, despite the opposition of his parents, he tried his best to get into a military academy and become a soldier. He thought he could defend his country and keep his military uniforms full of medals, but in reality, he would hide whenever he encountered something. No one could like this kind of person.
Forget it, it’s just a young and frivolous person, everyone has to face reality.
Gu Xia said this because she doesn't like me at all, and of course she doesn't care about me.
Lin Ziqiang secretly made up his mind to work hard after changing careers and become the best person. He should not let people around him say that he was doing well.
"It's almost noon, why don't we have dinner together?" He looked at Yu Jing beside him.
Yu Jing listened quietly next to her, smiling and having a very gentle attitude. When she heard her boyfriend say this, she quickly smiled and said, "Yes, let's have a meal together. There is a hot pot restaurant nearby, and it is said that the food is delicious."
Gu Xia quickly refused, saying that the school stipulated that he had to go back before the afternoon.
Lin Ziqiang didn't force him. Forget it, Gu Xia just looked down on me anyway, so why should I do something? The two groups of people separated at the counter.
Yu Jing bought the red cotton-padded jacket, Lin Ziqiang paid for it, and the two left together.
Along the way, Lin Ziqiang didn't say anything. He seemed to be in a bad mood and didn't mention the meal. He just wanted to take her home.
Yu Jing is a very well-behaved person, so she will naturally not get into trouble.
Lin Ziqiang's impression of her is getting better and better. If he were the previous partner, he would definitely break the relationship with Gu Xia and would make trouble because he didn't invite her to dinner.
He decided to get married as soon as possible, and his parents can rest assured after getting married, and he has completed his life tasks.
When he was halfway through, he grabbed Yu Jing's hand and walked hand in hand.
He thought Yu Jing would be shy and happy, and this was the first time he was so intimate.
Who would have thought that Yu Jing seemed to be surprised for a moment, and then calmly accepted the reality.
Lin Ziqiang didn't think much about it. Every girl was different. He said: "Let's get married after the Chinese New Year. The houses at home have been decorated, just buy furniture."
Yu Jing was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Okay."
The marriage was settled like this, and both of them looked quite restless.
Gu Xia watched them leave, then came out and continued to turn around. She finally chose a dark blue cotton jacket. The one that looked better than the red one, but it was cheaper. It only costs twelve yuan and it was really warm to touch.
Gu Xia tried wearing it and immediately got sweaty.
