【268】Alive(1/2)

When I heard that Chen’s mother came, everyone in the office was a little nervous. Jun Ye then said to the person who reported, “Please come in.”

When Chen's mother walked into the office, she saw that Jun Ye was not just there. Inside, Master Yao and Zhao Wensheng were both standing in front of the sofa, as if waiting for her.

"Please sit down, aunt." Jun Ye said.

Chen's mother had no place to choose, so she could only choose a seat on the sofa where she was entertaining guests. As soon as she sat down, the serviceman immediately gave her a cup of tea. She was very attentive and polite to her.

Jun Ye walked around the desk where he worked and came over. He moved a chair opposite her and sat down. Mr. Yao was also sitting opposite her, and only Zhao Wensheng hid in a relatively far place.

"I didn't expect Yao Ke to be there too." Chen's mother said with a reluctant smile.

"Aunt Chen, please be polite." Mr. Yao replied, "Aunt Chen, you are also one of the elders who grew up in the yard. Just call me Ziye."

Chen's mother looked at the two of them. Master Yao's smile was always so profound and unfathomable. Master Jun's appearance did not smile, and he was always unable to move since he was a child. She was frightened, but she had no choice but to go here. For this reason, Mr. Chen told her at home that if she came, she would never come.

"Since you still respect me as an elder, I said shamelessly." Chen's mother said.

Jun Ye picked up his own cup of tea.

Mr. Yao put away his smile a little, "Auntie, please tell me."

Chen's mother said: "A few days ago, Xiaoyi said he was on a business trip. I thought he was on a mission and had no choice but to let him go. As a result, when he came back this time, he said he might have to be transferred from the capital. I wanted to ask what was going on, why was he transferred from the capital suddenly? Where did he do something wrong?"

Of course, people like Chen’s mother cannot speak directly, and they have a sense of artistic feeling, and force people to answer.

Mr. Yao sighed gently in his heart. Even if he knew that it was impossible to explain Chen Xiaoyi's place, it was all arranged by Mr. Jun and he would not have anything to do with him.

Jun Ye gently lifted the office cup of tea lid and said, "It is impossible for Colonel Chen to be transferred from our unit. Even if he leaves the capital, he is just an expatriate."

"That's it—" Chen's mother touched her chest, and if she was relieved, "Lu Ke, don't take it to heart. I'm hearing this, and I'm panicking for my son, so I can only come here to verify."

"Aunt Chen came here to verify, not only this is the only thing." Jun Ye glanced at Chen's mother with sharp eyes.

Chen's mother's scalp was tight and she didn't dare to meet his eyes. She said fluently: "To be honest, Lu Ke, I'm here to ask you for something."

"Tell me." Jun Ye said drasticly.

Chen's mother was trembling while thinking that she was not wrong, so she spoke very without any scruples: "Lu Ke, Yao Ke, you and Xiaoyi are classmates and deans. Xiaoyi has become like this now. You can't stand by death and refuse to save him. You are comrades-in-arms. If you don't stop him, it's unreasonable."

"We are going to save us when we die?" Mr. Yao felt that the hat that was suddenly put off from his head was quite strange, and he was waiting for his mother to say interestingly.

"Yes, how can you acquiesce to him in this situation?"

"What's the situation?" Jun Ye's voice became three-pointer.

Only Chen's mother didn't hear it, or she said passionately, looking at her feelings, "Don't you two leaders know? I don't think you don't know. First, this kind of thing should not be allowed. Letting my son fall in love with a student is arguing in society to defile the reputation of all of us here. Second, since things are like this, my Xiaoyi is in a slump. Should you advise him to forget this matter instead of instigating him to continue holding a dead person and not even intend to get married?"

When Chen's mother said the word "dead", Zhao Wensheng coughed and had to remind her that his cousin's body was not found for a day, and it was not considered dead.

When Chen's mother received his reminder, she was obviously dissatisfied and felt that the Zhao family was not strict with her children. She originally wanted to make a fuss about this matter to the Zhao family Peng family, but then she thought about it and gave up because she didn't know if her son was wrong.

"Are you finished talking?" Jun Ye said coldly.

At this time, Chen's mother was aware of his emotions. She raised her head inexplicably and looked at him. When she touched his eagle-like eyes, her throat tightened. When Jun Ye's cup hit the table, she was so shocked that she almost jumped out of the sofa.

For Jun Ye, first of all, whether you respect or not is an elder depends on whether you know how to be a human being.

"I'll say a few words after all," said Jun Ye. "First of all, I feel very disappointed and sad that you, as a soldier's mother, have maintained such a narrow heart. From what you said just now, I can only hear that you think your son's marriage is above everything else, even higher than a lively young life of eighteen or nineteen years. When everyone prays for this girl who unfortunately had an accident, they hope that she will survive, you only care whether your son can find a wife."

Chen's mother's face turned red, and she turned into a block of iron burned by charcoal. She stuttered: "I don't mean I hope she dies-"

"You have already determined that she is dead in your heart, and you have determined that she is annoying whether she is dead or not, because it has hindered your son's marriage." Jun Ye said, "If you are just an ordinary citizen, I will not say you. But you are not. You are also a member of a state unit. As a soldier's mother and wife, your thoughts are more dirty and selfish than a simple and kind-hearted ordinary person."

Chen's mother was pricked by the words of Jun Ye, and she rose up to defend herself: "But I am also a mother. What's wrong with my own child? I can't let him hold a bachelor all his life."

As soon as Chen's mother finished yelling, Jun Ye "bang". The slap on the table made everything shaking. Chen's arrogance, which was slapped in her heart, and her whole body was trembling.

Jun Ye stood up and looked down at her from high to low: "Don't forget that your son is a soldier and a doctor, saving lives and sacrificing and dedicating, and carrying the responsibility of putting the lives of the people at the highest position at all times. As a result, you made him think about himself selfishly. You are defiling his honor as a soldier!"

Under his shadow like a mountain, Chen's mother didn't dare to say anything.

"Besides," Jun Ye finished lightly, "If Colonel Chen is a soldier, he will be depressed because of setbacks, and he will be ashamed of being a soldier. As a leader, I respect and admire him. Now he is trying to regain his grief and try to put himself into work. This spirit is understandable. As for you regard his efforts as a sin, and then blame all the blame on an innocent girl, you——”

Chen's mother was so arrogant that she dared not show up.

"Go out, don't step into my office again." After Jun Ye said this, he would never look at her again.

Chen's mother was stunned for a while, and then realized that she had been expelled and kicked the iron plate of Jun Ye. She looked at Mr. Yao with help. Mr. Yao looked down at the cup, but seemed to have not seen her. Chen's mother bit her lip with a slight face. She did not expect to eat the iron plate here. She thought that she was a relative of her relatives, but she was treated like this. These two masters were indeed very strong-willed. She picked up her bag, hurriedly opened the door and walked out, or in a mess.

Master Yao raised his eyes, glanced at her last look on her left, and began to say to Master Jun who was sitting back at his desk to work: "You are so angry that you can just say it, but you have thought about how to deal with it later."

"If you don't agree with my scolding, why didn't you speak out just now?" Jun Ye asked him back.

That's because he cursed very well. If he didn't scold, he might even scold himself. Mr. Yao shook his head: "Okay, I can only say, we are not afraid of what will happen to her."

"What can she do?" Jun Ye snorted coldly, "No matter how stupid she is, she can't be stupider than my sister's mother-in-law."

The vivid metaphor of Jun Ye amused both Yao and Zhao Wensheng.

Jiang’s mother is the best among the best. To be honest, if you want to find someone who can compete with Jiang’s mother, I’m afraid you won’t be able to find a second one in the world.

Having said that, there was one thing in Chen’s mother’s words that Mr. Yao agreed, that is, did Chen Xiaoyi really fall into a slump. Mr. Yao asked: “What exactly did Xiaoyi say?”

"Don't he want to ask for another leave? I didn't agree and sent him out. Letting him go to work is much better than being so stupid. He himself thinks so, and he took on the task without saying a word."

Perhaps because of this, Chen's plan to sell his son quickly was delayed. Chen's mother was so anxious, and with the hearsays she got from somewhere, she found here to settle the accounts.

The crux of the problem lies in Chen Xiaoyi himself, just like the wool comes from the sheep.

Jun Ye gently pointed the pen on the paper. He deliberately asked Zhao Wensheng to listen next to him, which was obviously intentional, and said to Zhao Wensheng: "Wensheng, please find some time to talk to Xiaoyi. Although I have thought about it, I or Ziye will talk to him, but after thinking about it, you are the most suitable one. After all, she is your cousin."

Zhao Wensheng helped off the frame, knowing that this was an unscrupulous task, not for Chen Xiaoyi, but for his cousin, and asked, "Where is he?"

“He is at the station.”

...

As dusk fell, Yu Yang pulled the busy figures in the station into overlapping diagonal lines, which looked very spectacular. When Zhao Wensheng found this, because the temperature of the platform was obviously higher than that of the outside world, he not only took off his coat, but also unbuttoned the top buttons of the shirt.

The railway tracks pressed by the train wheels were rolling in the residual heat of the sun, like the iron that had just been burned. Zhao Wensheng walked out of the platform and walked along the railway tracks, and found a group of engineers working. Inquired among the group: "Do you know where Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xiaoyi is?"

Someone pointed him in the direction.

He saw Chen Xiaoyi. But he hadn't seen him in just a few days. Chen Xiaoyi's skin was more than black, and his face was as dark as a red discus. Not only was it red, but it was strong.

Chen Xiaoyi knelt on one foot on the gravel, correcting the misaligned bones for a worker who had just twisted his feet. When Zhao Wensheng approached, he heard the worker making a muffled sound, and then the bones crunched, and the misaligned joints were twisted back. Two people who assisted next to him lifted the person up after the injured had done an emergency treatment and walked back. Only Chen Xiaoyi was left, and still kneeling on the ground with one foot, counting the supplies in the first aid box.

When Zhao Wensheng walked up to him, Chen Xiaoyi realized that he raised his face and squinted his eyes, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Zhao Wensheng took out a bag of tissue from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "Wipe the sweat."

"I have a towel." Chen Xiaoyi quickly recovered from his usual calmness. When he stood up, he pulled out a towel from the hanging bag beside him and wiped his face and neck. The sweat that flowed into his clothes was not wiped. He said, "The temperature here is high, why are you here?"

"If you can go here for a mission, I can't come here?"

Chen Xiaoyi disagreed with his words. Because his task is relatively alternative, he deliberately avoids others, and wants to think quietly alone.

"Let's have a walk." Zhao Wensheng knew that he couldn't improper, so he directly explained his purpose, "Lu Ke asked me to come to you because your mother went to the unit."

"My mom is at the office?" Chen Xiaoyi immediately locked up with his eyebrows.

"Can we find a place to have a drink or have a meal?" Zhao Wensheng said, touching his stomach, "I'm here to find you right after get off work. I also told my wife that I won't go home to eat tonight. You won't be trying to make me hungry, right?"

Chen Xiaoyi heard this and said quickly: "Okay, I'll invite you to KFC."

"Why do you eat KFC without rice?"

"KFC now also serves rice, which is close to the station," said Chen Xiaoyi.

Zhao Wensheng had no objection after hearing this. The two of them walked towards KFC together and said the whole way.

"What did my mom do at the office?"

"What do you think you can do?"

"She is not stupid-" Chen Xiaoyi's frown did not untie.

"It's normal for the mother's nervous child's marriage event." Zhao Wensheng said to comfort him, "Fortunately, your father is sensible and did not make trouble with his aunt."

"I didn't do this properly, so I will call home to communicate with her." Chen Xiaoyi said.

"What are you going to tell her?" Zhao Wensheng held up the glasses frame.

Chen Xiaoyi was asked, hesitated for a while, and said, "Tell her that I just came out to work and did not have any other intentions."

"Will your mother believe it?" Zhao Wensheng asked him again without any effort.

Chen Xiaoyi was dull: "What did Lu Ke ask you to say to me?"

"He didn't tell you myself that I'm coming to you, but the intention is already very obvious." Zhao Wensheng lowered his voice, "What do you think? My cousin was alive before, and I knew you were very restrained in love with my cousin. Now, Afang has become like this. You have this attitude now. Can you not worry about us? Although Lu Ke refuted your mother, as your comrade-in-arms, none of your classmates would want to see you feel guilty for this for the rest of your life, let alone Afang. Afang is definitely not willing to do this. If she really likes you, with my understanding of her, she will not be willing to suffer any grievances."

When talking about her, Chen Xiaoyi's eyes darkened: "She is a good girl. I have known since I first met her. Because I know, I don't want her to be hurt. But before I knew it, I always seemed to hurt her. Huan'er later told me that she was rushing back when she heard about me, otherwise she would not have taken the bus in the heavy rain and risked her to take the bus."

Zhao Wensheng looked at his drooping side face and said, "This world is said to be democracy, but in fact the world is like shackles and more cruel than the law. My wife and I have experienced many storms before we got together. To be honest, if you had clearly stated to me before that you would be with her, I would not agree. This is mainly for your future and your future. However, my wife's opinion is different from mine. Now, maybe she suffered more than me and her eyes are farther than me. She always said one thing, sometimes it is very, very difficult for you to save the missing things. She also said that I am a doctor and should know this more than anyone else. A mistake is a matter of life."

"Do you want to say that you and I are wrong?" Chen Xiaoyi raised his head and his eyes were bright.

"No." Zhao Wensheng said, "Lu Ke and I both think that a person can only make such a decision at a certain stage, which is due to the environment and conditions. So, when you restrain your own feelings and refuse to admit this relationship at that time, we think you are not wrong. Of course, she is not wrong either."

"Since it's nothing wrong, why did things turn out like this in the end?" Chen Xiaoyi opened his lips slightly, a hint of unconscious self-talk and emotion, accompanied by his unconscious vision, and he walked to the sky, with endless confusion.

If he had to ask him what he felt now, he had only a strong desire to let her come back alive. For this reason, he was willing to do anything, even if he wanted to sacrifice his life.

Zhao Wensheng knew his feelings very well, because he felt the same way, and said, "Although we did nothing wrong at that time, now, I regret it just like you. Why didn't regret it as her wishes and let her get what she wants? She is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and she is less than one-quarter of her life, and she has not enjoyed the joys she deserves in life."
