Chapter 118 Soaring in the Sky
Gu Yimin stared at the book, but she didn't read a single word. She thought about a lot of things, about the things she had experienced over the years. She was engaged to Deng Zhiming in a naive way, imagining a peaceful and happy life. Later, she broke off the engagement, and then she met Luo Yongnian.
Her adult life seems to have been stuck in emotional affairs.
After arriving in Lizhou, starting a business, and attending night school, she encountered more people and learned more. She felt that her life shouldn't be like this, at least not to find a good partner, get married, have children, and live out the daily necessities of life.
What should I do?
She couldn't explain it clearly now, but her happiness in life could not depend on men.
What Luo Yongnian said is very good, but if she is strong enough, she can live a good life no matter where she lives after marriage.
She thought of Tong Lu. She had never loved anyone passionately, so she might not understand her previous relationship with Zhou Cheng. But even if you love someone, you still need to control your heart and body. If Tong Lu had been able to control herself, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
Therefore, impulse is the devil. The impulse to send a sweater to Luo Yongnian was a trace of her reckless youth, and she would never do that again.
What she needs to do now is to stay calm. She is not even twenty years old yet, so why rush?
After figuring it out, Gu Yimin turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Lizhou Military Region
After the meeting, Ye Chi and Luo Yongnian came out of the conference room. They walked side by side. Ye Chi said, "You should have no problem getting a place at the military academy this time."
Luo Yongnian nodded. This place was very important to him. If he could go and graduate successfully, he would have a chance of further promotion. Otherwise, his military career would most likely end here.
The army now also pays attention to cultural literacy. For a cadre like him who has military merits but only has a high school education, the possibility of promotion in the future is very small.
"Did you go to Gu's house today?" Ye Chi asked.
Luo Yongnian nodded again.
Ye Chi knew his personality and was silent for a moment before saying, "Let's go over there and talk for a while?"
Luo Yongnian also wanted to chat with him, so he followed him to a corner of the training ground, which was quieter.
Ye Chi spoke first, "My father stayed in Shanshui Town for a while, and she helped him back then. What about you?"
Luo Yongnian knew this was an exchange of information and said, "The last time I went home to visit my family, she was in danger and I saved her."
The two were silent for a while, and Luo Yongnian said, "Run for a while?"
Ye Chi: "Okay."
As they spoke, the two of them ran around the training ground, keeping pace with each other, neither of them falling behind at all, until they both couldn't run anymore and then stopped and slowed down.
"Next month's military exercise is very important, we must seize the opportunity." Ye Chi said.
Luo Yongnian: "You too."
This opportunity was very important to both of them. With their outstanding performance, Ye Chiping was transferred to the Kyoto Military Region, and Luo Yongnian went to military academy and was directly promoted after graduation.
At their age, they were all outstanding members of the military for their achievements. Luo Yongnian admired Ye Chi, who had a strong background but relied on his own strength to reach his current position.
They both fell in love with the same girl. If they were the second generation, they might have made things difficult for him long ago, but Ye Chi didn't. Their competition was fair and square.
Ye Chi also admired Luo Yongnian. Soldiers from grassroots backgrounds were different from him. Soldiers like Luo Yongnian were not only capable but also good at seizing opportunities. It could be said that they took every step carefully.
But Luo Yongnian's willingness to sacrifice everything for a fallen comrade speaks volumes about his character. A fake marriage and a divorce would undoubtedly offend Brigadier General Tong. Furthermore, how would the organization view him, leaving Tong Lu alone with the child after the divorce? Any misstep would affect his promotion.
It was impossible for Luo Yongnian not to have thought of these things, but he did it anyway.
Regardless of whether what he did in the fake marriage was right or wrong, his loyalty is worthy of admiration.
They fell in love with the same girl. A timid person would have quickly given up, but Luo Yongnian still competed with him. Such a person is worth considering as an opponent, but also as a comrade.
On Saturday afternoon, Gu Jianguo rode his bike to the sports school early to pick up Gu Sanjing. The school's rules allowed her to go home only once a month, so this was Gu Sanjing's first time home since joining. Gu Yimin and her sisters had already bought her favorite food, and Wang Yueju had prepared a sumptuous dinner.
When Gu Sanjing returned home, she saw her favorite food on the kitchen table, and her eyes lit up. Gu Siqing hadn't seen her for nearly a month, and she missed her so much that she didn't tease her. The two sisters sat together, talking and eating snacks.
Wang Yueju and Gu Jianguo were busy cooking when they saw the two little girls start fighting again. Sanjing chased Xiaosi around the yard. The couple looked outside, then smiled and continued cooking. Of course, Wang Yueju was the chef, with Gu Jianguo helping out.
The family had a lively dinner.
On Sunday, Han Zhengping accompanied Gu Siqing to dance class again. He said he was going to the library and they could keep each other company. To her delight, she received a letter from the newspaper when she returned from the dance class.
Gu Siqing happily ran home with the letter, and Han Zhengping followed behind with a smile. The two entered the house one after the other. Gu Siqing's excited hands were shaking a little, and she simply handed the letter to him: "You come."
Han Zhengping pinched the thickness first and teased her with a smile: "It's so thick, how much would it cost if it cost money?"
Gu Siqing rolled her eyes and reached out to snatch the letter from his hand, "This is the first letter I gave you containing my royalties. I offered it to you as a reward, but you still don't want to open it."
Han Zhengping dodged with a smile, "Yes, yes, I do."
He smiled as he tore open the letter and pulled out a copy of the China Youth Daily. Gu Siqing took it and unfolded it. On the second page was the serialized version of her novel. Her mouth stretched from ear to ear as she saw the words, "Whose childhood wasn't troubled?"
Han Zhengping came over to take a look, his lips curled up, "And this."
Gu Siqing put down the newspaper and saw Han Zhengping holding a remittance slip with 281 yuan written on it.
"So much!" Gu Siqing took it in her hand and looked at it. After a rough calculation, it should be ten yuan per thousand words. This is really a lot. Nowadays, a worker's salary is only about thirty yuan.
"Sticky Bean Curd, is that your pen name?" Han Zhengping asked, looking at the signature on the newspaper.
"Well, does it sound good?"
Han Zhengping: "It's delicious."
Gu Siqing ignored him and sat on the bed to calculate the accounts: "Ten yuan for a thousand words. If I write a million words, that's ten thousand yuan. By then, I can afford to buy a courtyard house in Kyoto."
"Why do you want to buy a courtyard house in Kyoto so much?" Han Zhengping asked as he sat down next to him.
"You don't understand." This is the obsession of the reborn.
"Xiao Si," Han Zhengping asked again, "Do you want to be a writer in the future?"
Gu Siqing shook her head, then leaned close to him and whispered, "I want to be a pilot in the future. Don't tell anyone."
Han Zhengping was surprised, "How could you have such an ideal?"
Are there any female pilots in the world?
Gu Siqing looked at the remittance slip in her hand and said, "I just think that flying in the sky is so free."
There were too many constraints in her previous life. When she had free time at that time, she thought that if she could choose again, she would definitely apply to an aviation academy, become a pilot, and soar in the sky.
