There are people coming and going in the park.
Spring has arrived, the ice and snow have melted, everything has revived, and even the hormones of young men and women have revived. Along the way, the two met many men and women in love, and everyone's face was filled with shyness and joy.
"Jiang Sui." Ji Lin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Last time in the car, I heard from your eldest brother that you were divorced. How is it? You don't have any intention of looking for someone else? I... I have a friend who is a little older. He is loyal and reliable, and his monthly allowance is not small. He has no bad habits and has a certain position. But his family lacks a hostess. Do you... want to consider it?"
"Soldier?" Jiang Sui asked.
“Yes, a soldier.”
"No, no." Jiang Sui immediately shook her head. "I swore when I got divorced that I would never marry again in this life, and I would never marry a soldier again!"
Ji Lin suddenly became anxious: "Why? What's wrong with being a soldier? Yes, your ex-husband did hurt you, but that was a problem of his character, and he happened to be a soldier. Jiang Sui, you can't destroy the entire military industry because of this one person, right?"
"Anyway, I don't plan to look for another one for the time being. Thank you, Brother Ji!" Jiang Sui interrupted Ji Lin with just one sentence.
Ji Lin: “…”
...
...
The atmosphere fell into silence and Ji Lin didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing that Ji Lin stopped talking, Jiang Sui also stopped talking.
Anyway, she has the final say on her marriage. She can get married whenever she wants, and she can choose not to get married if she doesn't want to. It's her freedom to reject other people's kindness or not. She can't be forced to marry someone she doesn't like in her first marriage, and fall headfirst into the grave of marriage.
When they reached the willow-shaded path by the lake, Ji Lin said, "Sit down."
"good."
Jiang Sui was about to sit down when Ji Lin took out a light blue handkerchief from his pocket. He bent down and wiped the entire stool several times before saying to Jiang Sui, "Sit down."
Jiang Sui smiled: "Brother Ji is quite particular."
Ji Lin grinned: "Your clothes are quite clean. It would be bad if they got dirty."
"What do you mean by clean? I wore an old piece of clothing just to sell candied haws. I don't mind if it gets dirty," said Jiang Sui.
"oh."
The two sat side by side on the stool, Jiang Sui supported himself with his hands behind his back, tilted his head back slightly, and enjoyed the warm spring sun, while Ji Lin sat upright, as if there was a steel bar behind his waist.
Seeing him sitting so straight, Jiang Sui couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Ji, we're not in the barracks anymore, but you're still sitting so straight, aren't you tired?"
"I am a soldier. Soldiers must always pay attention to their words and actions no matter where they are, because I represent not only myself, but the overall image of soldiers." Ji Lin answered word by word in a sonorous and powerful manner.
Jiang Sui couldn't help laughing: "Brother Ji, you are really interesting. I have never seen my ex-husband like this..."
"Although they are all soldiers, there are differences between soldiers," said Ji Lin.
"You're right, you're right." Jiang Sui said with a smile.
The two were chatting when a man holding a camera came over. He approached Ji Lin and asked, "Comrade Soldier, are you visiting the park with your girlfriend? The weather is so nice, the pink peach blossoms and green willows are a good time to take pictures. Do you want to take a picture? It's 20 cents per picture, and the pictures will be ready in three days! Do you want to take a picture?"
Ji Lin turned his head and glanced at Jiang Sui: "You..."
Jiang Sui quickly waved her hands and refused: "No, no, you're wrong! We are not dating! This is my brother!"
"Oh, brothers and sisters can also take photos."
"No, thank you."
Seeing Jiang Sui driving the people away, Ji Lin felt a little regretful.
"Jiang Sui," he said, "It's not easy for this guy to run a small business. He must be very tired after running all day. Why don't we take care of his business?"
"Okay. Brother Ji, if you want to go and take the photo, go ahead. I'll forget about it. I don't make much money from selling candied haws in a day, so I'd better save as much as possible."
"Let's go together. Consider it my treat."
Jiang Sui waved his hand: "This is not appropriate, Brother Ji, you should go by yourself."
"Well... forget it. He's gone far away. Let's do it next time..." Ji Lin smiled awkwardly and let the matter go.
The two sat for a while, but since there was nothing to talk about, they just started talking about Jiang Xun.
Seeing that the sun was setting and Xiao Liu hadn't come back yet, Jiang Sui stood up and said, "Brother Ji, why don't we take the bus back? If we keep waiting like this, I don't know how long we'll have to wait."
Ji Lin said, "Wait another ten minutes. Xiao Liu will be here soon. We can walk slowly to the park entrance and wait while we go."
"good."
The two began to walk out side by side. After a few steps, Ji Lin actually met an acquaintance.
"Hey, Brother Ji Lin! Why are you here?"
"Meng Guanglei! Xiao Meng, why are you here too? Aren't you in a southern city? Why did you come back to the north? Where is Chief Meng? Has he been transferred back to work?"
"No. My father has been in the Southern Military Region! He moved to another place a while ago... I came back by myself, to explore the world on my own." Meng Guanglei said.
"So that's how it is."
Meng Guanglei looked Ji Lin up and down and said, "Brother Ji Lin, you are doing well in the army, right? Look at these four impressive pockets, you look like a leader."
"It's OK."
"Modest."
"I've never been modest. I'm just making do."
Meng Guanglei laughed a few times, exchanged a few words with him, and his eyes fell on Jiang Sui: "Is this my sister-in-law? Brother Ji Lin, I have been in the south for a few years. I haven't seen you for a few years. You have married? I have to say, you are so sunny, and your sister-in-law is so beautiful!"
His praise made Ji Lin and Jiang Sui feel embarrassed.
"No, not your sister-in-law." Ji Lin hurriedly clarified, "This is just a friend. How is it? How about you? You have grown up after not seeing you for a few years. Do you have a date?"
Meng Guanglei sighed, "No one is suitable. I'm not too old, so I'll focus on my career first. When my career is stable, I'll find someone who shares the same ideals to marry."
"Speaking of this, what job did you do after you retired from the army? A policeman? Or did you go to customs?" Generally, retired veterans will go to these two places.
Meng Guanglei shook his head: "Neither. You definitely can't guess it."
"Tell me about it."
"Machinery shop."
Ji Lin was slightly surprised: "Why did you go here?"
Meng Guanglei sighed again: "Brother, I regret it, really! You said that at that time, I had to argue with my dad to quit the army. Now I can't go back even if I want to! Going to the machinery factory was a helpless move, just to get closer to the way back."
