Although Lai Qingfang was very jealous of Lanhua and tried every means to prevent her from interacting with Wang Yao, and she took great pains not to allow Fu Lanhua to be transferred back to the regiment headquarters. However, as Wang Yao said, Fu Lanhua did not care about being transferred back to the regiment headquarters. She said

When she did, she and her two little sisters were extremely happy in the company, just like the nickname "Malanhua" given to them by their comrades, blooming in the border military camp deep in the grassland.

After the New Year, Wang Yao returned home. Wang Zhonghe suddenly asked him about Fu Lanhua. He explained the situation to his father in detail. After Wang Zhonghe learned about it, he nodded slightly and said, "This girl looks a bit like her."

My father’s temper and character back then. But

That's fine, just let her exercise down there. Go see her often if you have the chance. By the way, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. If Lanhua is not on duty, ask her to come home to celebrate the Chinese New Year. This is the first time for girls to be away from their parents.

With the Chinese New Year around me, it’s inevitable to miss home at this time.”

Wang Yao was well aware of his father's affection for his old comrade, but he could not repay it. He could only show his love to Fu Lanhua. This was the only thing an elder could do. But, how did his father ever understand? There is something here

The invisible scissors are secretly and quietly cutting this strand of friendship.

He doesn't care about Lai Qingfang's doubts or accusations about him. He is afraid that his mother will be angry and unhappy, because his acquaintance, dating, and even romantic relationship with Lai Qingfang were all arranged by his mother. How dare he disobey?

For Lai Qingfang,

His mother often reprimanded and scolded him, but he dared not speak out in anger, precisely because he was a good and filial son. Therefore, his mother Wu Xia often boasted in front of her colleagues: "My precious son listens to me the most. I say

One, never give me two."

Today, my father mentioned Fu Lanhua, just in time to express his grievances to him, so he took the opportunity to say to his father: "Forget it, I will never dare to see her again."

"Why?"

Wang Yao said: "A few days ago, due to the issue of Orchid's job transfer, I went to their company to talk to her. Unexpectedly, the road was blocked by heavy snow, so I was delayed in the company for a few more days. When I came back, Lai Qingfang started covering her face.

The land raised an army to question me..."

His report made Wang Zhonghe very angry. He said to his son: "Don't worry about it. During the Chinese New Year, ask Lanhua if she is on duty? If you have time, call her home to celebrate the Chinese New Year."

Wang Yao said: "I'm afraid Lai Qingfang will sue me in front of my mother again, and I won't be able to bear it then."

"Your mother has a soft ear and cannot listen to some discussions. Sometimes she does bad things with good intentions." Wang Zhonghe said: "I wonder what kind of ecstasy she took. Why is she so interested in this Lai Qingfang? Humph!"

Wang Yao echoed, "I think so too. Isn't it just a matter of a few days of schooling? Relying on her father's little power, he is always gesticulating in front of me. She thinks that I am in a relationship with her just to curry favor with them."

"Hey, you can't say that. After all, her father is our army commander and an old leader. I still respect him." Wang Zhonghe said, "This is all your mother's fault. No matter what, Lanhua is in our army.

, we should care about and take good care of her, and I must feel clear in my heart when talking about it in front of her parents."

Although his father's words were tinged with personal emotions, Wang Yao understood very well: At this age, a person will inevitably be a little hesitant.

Because of Wang Zhonghe's care and support, Wang Yao visited Fu Lanhua every once in a while to understand her progress. Of course, Fu Lanhua was very upbeat, and the company cadres and comrades-in-arms all approved of her unity.

With her friendly spirit, in less than half a year, her business level has reached its best.

A year later, the old squad leader Gai Binghua retired from the army, and the company decided that Fu Lanhua would succeed the squad leader. On the day of the announcement, the instructor came to talk to her and asked her to submit an application for party membership. Three days later, her application was handed over to the instructor.

A month later, the company branch officially accepted Fu Lanhua as a party activist after being recommended by the party members meeting.

This year, she made rapid progress. She won first place in the regiment's business competition and won a consecutive commendation. Especially during the year-end evaluation, she actually won the regiment's commendation. For an ordinary soldier, this award is very important.

It is important and a great honor. It is said that it is second only to third-class merit.

Every time Fu Lanhua made progress, she would share it in a letter with Ying Xiang, who was far away in southern Xinjiang. Of course, Ying Xiang also continued to encourage her and guide her in letters. However, every time Ying Xiang wrote to her, she would always write "Brother" on the envelope.

", so her comrades all know that she has a brother who cares about her the most. Even the sisters in the same room have no idea about the secret between her and Ying Xiang.

Fu Lanhua relied on her hard work and diligent study to achieve good results one after another. Just when her path forward was beautiful, she was forced to be involved in an emotional whirlpool.

Spring comes relatively late on the grassland. The grassland in May is the season when the sun warms and everything revives. On the endless grassland, colorful flowers bloom, like smiling faces blooming with their own beauty.

The wind quivering on the green leaves peeked at her smile and brought her the mellow wine of youth.

On this day, Fu Lanhua was on duty in the studio. Wang Yao drove to the company again. The company commander and instructor received him, but he said to them: "You don't have to work hard. This time I made a special trip to see Fu Lanhua."

"

In fact, he came and went often, and the comrades in the company were used to it, so people didn't care what he was going to do. He went directly to the studio, where Fu Lanhua was wearing headphones and concentrating on her work. She seemed to be debugging the machine and...

They didn't notice him coming in. Ye Hong and Xiong Yan did see him standing at the door. Ye Hong went over and asked, "Is Counselor Wang looking for Sister Lanhua?"

He nodded and waved his hand, meaning: don't disturb her. He sat quietly behind the studio and carefully observed their work. Under normal circumstances, in this studio, except for the people in the reporting class, other people

You cannot enter or exit casually unless something happens.

After about twenty minutes, Fu Lanhua took off her headphones and said to Xiong Yan: "It's fixed, come and try it."

When Xiong Yan took the earphones, she said to Lanhua: "Sister Lanhua is looking for someone."

Fu Lanhua turned around and saw that Wang Yao was sitting in the back. She ordered: "Ye Hong, please watch carefully."

After saying that, she picked up her hat and walked out of the house. Wang Yao also followed her out. As they walked across the playground, she asked, "Do you have a problem with me?"

Wang Yao looked very tired. In the past, he was always smiling and chatting and laughing every time he came here, but now he was always serious, as if he had something on his mind. He said: "Let's go for a walk by the river.

?”

Fu Lanhua could sense that he must have something important to tell her, and the situation would definitely not be a happy one. So she murmured in her heart, and she agreed, and they walked side by side to the river.

There is a small river flowing from west to east to the north of the barracks. The water is not deep but very clean and clear. It is 200 meters wide and the narrowest point is more than 100 meters. The winding river channel has water all year round.

The water needed is pumped from the river, filtered, disinfected, and used for cooking, drinking, washing clothes, etc.

The two of them strolled along the river, where the green grass was lush and green; the ice in the river had melted. At this time, it was the season of drought and lack of rain. The trickling river flowed slowly, and occasionally small fish could be seen shuttled like arrows.

In the clear river water.

As they walked, they admired the natural scenery. Wang Yao first asked: "Have you been approved as a party member?"

Fu Lanhua said: "I have just been approved. This is the trust the organization has placed in me. I will work harder."

Wang Yao smiled and said: "That's good enough. A soldier who has been in the army for less than two years has made rapid progress."

Fu Lanhua didn't say anything, just looked up at the sky. She kept guessing what he was going to say to her. She didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.

Wang Yao asked: "Did you seem to be repairing the machine just now?"

"Yes, I have carefully studied the principles and drawings of the machine for many days. Now I can draw a picture and fix minor problems by myself."

"Isn't it good? No wonder the company commander and the instructor praise you for being an all-rounder. It's very good." Wang Yao praised: "Every time I come here, I always get news about your progress. I'm really happy for you. Tell me about your next struggle.

What’s the goal?”

Fu Lanhua looked up at him and felt that his smile was so far-fetched. She said, "Don't talk about me yet. Haven't you mentioned anything important that you want to see me for?"

When she asked, Wang Yao's face darkened again, and he said, "There has been some unpleasantness in the regiment these days. No one in the company has anything to say to you, right?"

She asked strangely: "Looking for me? No, what's going on?"

"It's okay for me to tell you. I had a fight with Lai Qingfang a few days ago, and I officially broke up with her the day before yesterday."

"Why is this happening? Aren't you always very good?"

"No, in fact, it is my mother's idea that we can hang out together. However, I still understand my mother's painstaking efforts. In her philosophy, she wants me to find a well-matched family and find a family that can stabilize me.

She wanted to have a reliable backer and find a girlfriend who was educated and qualified. In her eyes, Lai Qingfang just met her standards. Therefore, with her efforts to match her,

The two of us met and then established a relationship. However, along the way, I found that our personalities and tempers were completely different, even incompatible, and our understanding of various things was fundamentally inconsistent. Therefore, I had long planned to part ways with you.

, but it’s always difficult for me to get over my mother’s hurdle. I don’t want to make her angry and disappointed, so I haven’t been able to make this decision..."

"Why do you dare to make up your mind this time? How can I explain it to my aunt? Can she agree with your approach?"

Wang Yao looked at the wide, rippling river and said: "This time is very different. I have the support and approval of my father. In fact, my father has always believed that Lai Qingfang is not suitable for me and our family."

"I think Teacher Lai's conditions are very good. You should consider it carefully."

"Didn't I just say that? We are not suitable."

Fu Lanhua asked: "Oh, what kind of one do you want?"

Wang Yao said: "I confessed to my father that I already had a goal in mind, and he even praised me for my vision."

"Haha, it turns out you have another love in your heart. What does she do? Can you reveal it?"

"Do you want to know? Don't be angry if you tell me."

"Of course I do, just tell me. What does it have to do with me? Tell me."

"She is also a soldier, and a very good PLA soldier. This person is far away and right in front of us."

"Ah!" Fu Lanhua exclaimed, her heart pounding, and she asked hastily: "Who are you talking about?"

"Don't you understand? This person is you!"
