Chapter 238 Retirement 1
In fact, it is very simple to say. Although Li Mengze left his hometown very early and has been wandering outside for many years, his thoughts are still deeply influenced by his hometown. Outsiders can guess what he did, but his old family can often see his intentions at the head, just like this incident, with the villagers' By the way, it's just to avoid "high merit shock" and the whole Li family's "resenting". Of course, everyone also welcomes him back. For whatever reason, they have the reason to defend him, and even the whole Li family. In this way, he lived a peaceful life in his hometown. When he was bored, he went to the wild. His hometown was full of low hills, and it was also very interesting in the cold northwest wind. At least young people like him who live in the city were fresher, or drove on the highway, and he also went to nearby scenic spots with several partners. He came back from October, after November, and then entered December. Then he learned that the Military Commission had agreed to retire. He was still more confident about this. Although this matter was relatively **, the Military Commission did not have enough reasons to prevent him from retiring early. But he didn't expect that they would come with such a trick. On the verge of retirement, they were promoted to the first-class military rank, and sent a general's hat in vain, which made him a little embarrassed to laugh and cry. He didn't understand why he suddenly became so humane. Even so, he still stayed in his hometown, but it was a little strange that since he returned to his hometown, the number of phone calls to his hometown in Beijing has decreased significantly, and he has never been asked about his situation, as if he had forgotten, as if he was still in the barracks!
In fact, Lin Yongkang was not in a good mood. He suddenly left the barracks where he had lived for many years. It was impossible not to remember. His comrades-in-arms who had been together for many years were separated because of their own reasons. The difficulties in this process could not be expressed in words. But he had to leave. His father and family will not obstruct his military career. They will just do everything possible to create conditions... But he is responsible for the whole family! Li is too beautiful, but I don't know that advancing and retreat is a big taboo for the development of a family. Things must be reversed, and the tree attracts great wind... In history, many powerful families have not come to a good end, and they are all defeated in "I don't know how to advance and retreat". If it comes to being hated by those in power and can't protect themselves, it's too late! And the Li family is facing such a danger. The business background alone can be tolerated, but if it is the political and business or the military and commercial power, especially the direct strength of the family members, it will cause the suspicion of some people. Now it is worth sacrificing oneself to save the long-term vitality of the whole family. On the other hand, For the second generation of the family, it is necessary for them to leave some ideas for future generations and become a behavioral reference for future generations. In fact, if there are many powerful families in China, he doesn't need to do so, but the problem is that the current situation is that their family is dominant. Other families are too weak in front of the Li family to form an effective containment at all! After all, leaving the barracks is not an unbearable thing. Although he has been used to the life of the barracks for so many years, the deep-rooted free thought in his bones affects him. Maybe leaving the barracks is just a matter of time. In fact, his depression is related to his feelings. For a long time, it has been Liu Yingchen, the girl who once disgusted him and made him like him.
In terms of emotions, he belongs to the relatively passive kind of person, which is different from many brothers. Although Liu Yingchen is very beautiful and shrewd, he did not like it at the beginning, and even hated it a little. Later, with the increase of interaction, Love gradually bred, and under the special situation at that time, there was a trend of a thousand miles a day. But with the end of the war, especially after the recovery of the body, I came into contact with all kinds of people in society, and gradually developed a kind of ominous understanding. At that time, I didn't think too far. It was just a hunch. It was not until I went to the military academy, contacted more people and things, and saw more social comments that I realized the problem. Severity. His comrades-in-arms can happily study in the military academy and fight for their general's dream and their future life, but he can't fully devote himself. He always feels that something is forcing him to give up his brilliant military career and the honor he has held in his hand! He couldn't believe that Liu Yingchen would forgive his actions, and he didn't dare to expect that the general would agree with a son-in-law who abandoned the army. This was his greatest pain. All the depression and all the melancholy were because of this hard-won relationship! He can give up his honor and easily leave the military camp where he has lived for many years, but it is impossible to easily give up this relationship, but he knows better that if the other party can't accept this reality, it will be difficult for her to be recognized by his family. It's a thing that they like her, and whether they can accept it's another completely different thing! Family, lovers, and beliefs are tormenting him and making him suffer. There is no choice. Maybe love is more expensive, but how can he turn his back on his family and put the whole family in danger because of himself? This is something he can't stand. At the same time, it is impossible to turn his back on his faith, so under the joint efforts of many aspects He decided to retire. Maybe she will forgive herself! In fact, Liu Yingchen's reluctance to forgive him makes him more painful, which is also the most fundamental reason why he feels depressed in his hometown. He also wants to correspond with her, but he doesn't know how to face it. Several times he opened the mailbox, just started but gave up. In addition, he has been receiving letters from the other party, although he often sees Zhan. Emails from friends.
The three old people don't know what happened to him. They just guard him with some worry and do whatever they want. As long as they are happy, the young nanny Xie Lingling also takes care of him carefully and treats him like a young master! Since he returned to his hometown, everyone has found that there is a faint sadness on his face unconsciously. This state has lasted for several months, and even on the eve of the Spring Festival, it has not fully recovered. After his official retirement, his mood began to relax. It seemed that the rank of major general made him more energetic. He visited many nearby attractions and began to contact people outside the village... However, this did not relieve his depression at all. Studying or reading could not make him completely forget the past... But in 2 At the beginning of the month, three months after returning to his hometown, on the eve of his decision to return to Beijing, he sent an email to his ex-girlfriend, briefly describing his life in the past few months, and even told the other party the train number and arrival time of his arrival in Beijing. Maybe this was their last chance.
Lin Yongkang's retirement caused a great reaction in society. Rumors of his retirement began to appear at the end of October, which quickly attracted people's attention. The military academy website was almost crowded, and the phone could not be reached. Soon, people confirmed that he dropped out of school, and this immediately proved I have confirmed everyone's conjecture. Almost at the same time, the relevant military's websites have also been "encircled". The large number of visits shocked the relevant person in charge, and the announcement of the Military Commission at the end of December pushed the matter to **. Although people have confirmed this news through various ways, there are various comments, especially all kinds of guesses. Thinking everywhere, more and more people are involved. Because there is no trace of the direct party, people have to target other relevant personnel, his former comrades-in-arms, former army leaders, family members and girlfriends... And there is only one intention, that is, the reason for his retirement and where he is now. Several prominent Li business leaders are always asked questions in this regard while being interviewed by business reporters, such as "What do you think about your brother's retirement", "What role did Li play in this matter?" "As his family, you should know where he has gone and what he is. "The place"... made some people suffer unspeakably and blamed someone for causing trouble to them. At the beginning of the second year, there was still a lot of discussion in the society. Even if the Spring Festival had come and he had not withdrawn from people's topics, it was in this atmosphere that he said goodbye to his relatives in his hometown and embarked on the train back to Beijing.
Lin Yongkang was looking for it. After leaving the platform, his eyes were searching everywhere! He didn't tell anyone about the specific arrangements for his return to Beijing this time. His family didn't know the exact time of his arrival in Beijing. However, there was one exception. However, he didn't see her. 15 minutes passed, 25 minutes passed, 30 minutes passed... He still didn't come; carrying his luggage, he stood there like a stranger who had just entered the capital for the first time, without asking or exploring, just waiting for his relatives to welcome him, no Some people know who he is. There are thousands of people coming in and out of the capital every day, and he is just one of them. The taxi driver thinks he is a lost foreigner. He has been " soliciting customers" several times, so that no one pays attention to him anymore... 60 minutes have passed... No one has come. But he was waiting, waiting patiently. He was already very hungry. Two hours had passed, and he had to find out the hard food he carried with him in public. Maybe he didn't want to give up. Maybe, in a few minutes, she would appear... Gradually, people began to stand still. The moving people are curious. Although people come and go, some people know that he has been standing for at least an hour, or even longer, and who can stand motionless for so long that he doesn't even shake? In the cold winter in the north, it feels cold when staying in a taxi. What is the reason for him to wait in the wind? He is a soldier and is waiting stubbornly, but why didn't anyone pick him up?
Lin Yongkang waited motionless for three hours. In three hours, in addition to finding out some biscuits from his backpack and looking around slightly on his head, his whole body did not move, and even his legs had not moved for a minute. The sky was about to dim, and the night in the north always came earlier, and the sunset Leaving also brought the last warmth. And the evening in the north is particularly cold. His feet are almost completely numb, and his skin exposed to the cold wind has begun to dry... There is no trace of warmth on his body. It seems that all his body temperature has dissipated in the cold wind, and his once hot heart is cold... Finally, a car is also "stubborn" waiting. The blue taxi "grab" this business!
"Sir, are you going to the Fairy Building?" The taxi driver felt that he didn't hear it clearly. Is it possible that this young man is going to the Fairy Building? In his opinion, this young man who came mechanically step by step seems to have nothing to do with the Fairy Building, and his low voice makes him doubt his hearing.
"Yes, drive faster!" The passenger urged that the words were clearer this time. Maybe the temperature in the taxi was higher, which restored a trace of warmth and the language function began to run again.
"No problem, I can get there in half an hour!" The taxi driver assured that although the Fairy Building is relatively far from the railway station, Beijing is too big, and almost every famous building is relatively far away. However, "serving passengers and satisfying passengers" is their service criterion. In addition, the road conditions are better now. He is also sure to rush to the Fairy Building in half an hour, full of Beijing. None of the taxi drivers in the city don't know about the fairy building, and the so-called fairy building usually refers to the fairy's headquarters building.
Obviously, the taxi driver is a very talkative man. He is well-informed. At a glance, he can see that young people are soldiers. Soldiers are obviously different from ordinary people, especially standing in the cold wind for a few hours. That is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. Just after the war is over, the society respects soldiers. The atmosphere of worship has not passed, which invisibly adds to everyone's topic, "Are you a soldier?"
"It's not anymore." Obviously, the passengers are not in good spirits and a little listless, which is also understandable. No one will feel good after standing in the cold wind for a few hours. "I just retired."
"Oh, in which army? Is it the Air Force?" The driver is very interested and takes it for granted that he is in the air force. First of all, this is because the air force is the most admired in society. Secondly, from his perspective, the other party's physical conditions also meet the requirements of the air force, and he should be a pilot.
"Hmm." The passenger answered casually, very perfunctory, as if he had not recovered, and seemed to be full of things on his mind.
"Really, in which army have you fought with the United States?" The driver didn't mind the indifference of the guests and finally found a rare conversation partner. If he could get some first-hand information from the former pilot, wouldn't he brag to the next passenger? In many cases, people regard what they hear from others as their own experience, or even as their own experience. .
"Malaysias are the weakest, XX people are okay, and Americans are stronger!" The passenger's voice was relatively lazy, and he did not talk about which unit he was serving in. However, what he said was also true. All the pilots who participated in the war thought so, but this was also a common comment and not an exclusive opinion.
"Americans are not very good either! No matter how strong it is, it has not been defeated by us. Even the plane has been sent to the door! How many did you hit? Drivers disdain the strength of Americans. Like most Chinese, they no longer pay attention to the United States. In their view, China is already the most powerful country in the world. When the most powerful country in the world is not an opponent, it is self-evident!
"There are not many." The passenger replied faintly, he seemed to be a little tired. Even if it was not the current physical reason, he was a little tired. It seemed that the previous battle had exhausted his energy, and there seemed to be a reason why he chose to retire. However, he felt that it was necessary to correct people's misunderstandings and not despise the Americans. "The United States is still very strong, but it is too late to participate in the war. If you fight against it at the beginning, it will be difficult to say!"
"She's strong. She won't be strong after that!" The driver compromised, but obviously had his own understanding. In the eyes of ordinary people, the U.S. active fighter captured by China on the battlefield will have a serious impact on the future competition between the two sides. Although experts do not agree that the competition between countries is not simply determined by one or two technologies, it is obvious that these things are beyond their ability, and they are not It is suitable to comment in this situation and change the topic, "Was you waiting for someone just now?"
"Hmm." Passengers still look listless, and perhaps the previous long comments have exhausted their hard-earned strength.
"Is it a girlfriend?" The driver took it for granted that these days, it is as normal for young men and women to fall in love like eating, even the popular soldiers are no exception.
"It's kind of, we've already broken up." Passengers don't seem to be afraid of their lovelorn. In fact, the dance steps can be said to people. Let's break up. They should have broken up.
The atmosphere in the taxi is a little dull, and even the talkative driver has nothing to say. As an ordinary person, he has a good impression on soldiers, especially at this time. However, for many years, the repeated lovelorn affairs of soldiers have become a big landscape in society. Unexpectedly, this man has just come out of the battlefield. The young people encountered it. It seemed that God was not fair enough for them, but there was nothing they could do. "Think about it, brother, go to the fairy to find a job?"
"Thank you, find someone." Of course, the passengers knew that this was the kind comfort of the other party. Although the other party did not understand the specific situation, they still politely expressed their gratitude.
"Looking for a friend, are you a comrade-in-arms?" The driver asked enthusiastically, in fact, this is also a matter of course. These days, although it is said that it pays attention to self-reliance, hard work and self-reliance, "relying on friends at home and going out depends on friends" is still a reasonable saying.
"No, a brother works there." The passenger explained that he did not deliberately hide anything, "Go faster!" The fairy gets off work at 5 o'clock. Don't miss it. Obviously, passengers don't want to be entangled in this problem. At the time when they get off work, there is a significant increase in the number of vehicles on the road, and they are worried that they can't catch up with the time. In fact, he has nothing to say. If he doesn't drive faster, he won't even have the fare.
"It's time to get off work. I can't drive fast. Please forgive me." The driver had no choice. Although the other party was the "loveliest person", the traffic was getting bigger and bigger, and the car couldn't run at all.
"Let me use the phone." Passengers also seem to be aware of the problem. The car is getting slower and slower, which is not the driver's responsibility, but he can't wait passively. He went to the Fairy Building to take a taxi. He can't miss the time, at least he can't owe the fare. But he dialed a number and didn't get through, so he dialed another number.
"Hey, brother-in-law, it's me... I just arrived in Beijing and haven't contacted my family yet. Let's talk about it when I get back... I'm going to the company. Wait for me for a while after work. I'll take a taxi. I guess I'll be there at 5:10." Then, he deleted both numbers. Although it was a normal move, it made the driver a little curious.
"Your brother-in-law works in Fairy?" The driver didn't understand. Didn't the young man say that "brother" worked in the fairy before? Why did he become "brother-in-law" and dialed two numbers.
"No, in Fairy Electronics, go to Fairy Electronics!" The passenger explained that the first call was not dialed, so he had to find his brother-in-law. Fortunately, the two companies were not far away, that is, a street away, and they did not take any wrongful road. In fact, they might be closer.
