Do what you promised.
Shao Zheng made an appointment with his girlfriend to watch ice hockey at 4 pm, so he had to pick her up before this time.
It was not much different from the expected time. When he finished dealing with all the things and came back to his senses from the busyness, there were still 15 minutes left to 4 o'clock.
Shao Zheng hurriedly packed up the documents and left the office, but he ran into his partner Lao Hu before he had gone far.
"Do you want to watch ice hockey? I haven't watched it for a long time. Those bastards have been howling all afternoon." Political Commissar Hu invited with a smile.
Since the early 1950s, ice hockey has created a small craze in the country.
Not only in the extremely cold north, but even J City is sought after by many people.
Someone once said that ice hockey is a game for the brave and a feast of passion.
This is probably the main reason why many people are fascinated by it.
Shao Zheng has been a tough boy since he was young, and during the years when ice hockey was popular everywhere, he was at an age when everyone hated him.
Every winter, I would put on my ice skates and run around with my friends in the yard.
In addition, I have been playing on and off for many years, so my ice skills cannot be compared with those of professional natural players, but among a group of amateurs, I am still very capable.
Look, the little object wanted to see, and he immediately stood up.
The opportunity to show your talent has come, and you must perform well.
Shao Zheng was planning to go, but when he heard Lao Hu's invitation, the corners of his mouth curled up and his tone became more controlled: "You are a grown man, and you still need someone to accompany you? I don't want to accompany you. My daughter Yuyu wants to watch me play ice hockey, so I have to go back to the family compound to pick her up first."
After saying this, the man pretended to be calm, nodded to his frozen partner, straightened his military cap, and strode away.
Political Commissar Hu, what are you showing off? He's acting like he doesn't have a wife. He has a daughter.
There was silence for a while. Political Commissar Hu, who felt deeply offended, laughed "Hey!" and seemed to have thought of a good idea. He turned around and went to the staff quarters.
So, when Shao Zheng picked up his little girl from home and headed to the ice hockey field, he found that many military dependents had followed them.
Seeing this, Shao Zheng and Chen Nongmo, who wanted to show off their partner to some extent, did not think much about it, but curiously asked their sister-in-law beside them, only then did they realize that it was the big guy that Political Commissar Hu called.
They said that the military families are tired at home every day, so they come out to watch the game and take a break.
"Your troops are quite particular."
Listening to his little partner's whisper, Shao Zheng still maintained the smile on his face, but his eyes glanced at the smiling Political Commissar Hu.
The group of people were chatting and laughing, including Chen Nongmo. No one noticed Political Commissar Hu's ulterior motives, and they all walked towards the ice hockey field with laughter.
The cheers of the crowd could be heard from afar.
Someone laughed and shouted, "Someone must have scored a goal. Let's hurry up. It's just in time to go back and cook dinner in half an hour."
Hearing this, influenced by everyone's emotions, Chen Nongmo couldn't help but quicken his pace.
At the same time, she did not forget to turn around and urge the man: "Hurry up!"
“.”
= There were several circles of soldiers surrounding the simple guardrail of the ice hockey field.
Given the height of a group of women standing in the back row, they definitely wouldn't be able to see anything, at most they could hear some noise.
But the soldiers' care for their families is like it's engraved in their bones and blood.
When the first person spotted them, they would pat the soldiers in the front row one by one, and in just a dozen seconds, they would tacitly make way for them.
Before Chen Nongmo could even express his surprise, he was pulled in by his sisters-in-law who were used to it.
She turned back subconsciously.
Shao Zheng was still standing there, smiling and pointing to the place where shoes were changed, indicating that he wanted to go over there.
Chen Nongmo curled his eyes and said two words silently: "Come on!"
At the end, when the man smiled and nodded at her, she added worriedly: "Be careful!"
This time, Shao Zheng still nodded patiently, and only turned and left after making sure that the little girl had nothing more to say.
"This is incredible, this is incredible, who would have thought that our Shao Tuan would be so clingy with their partner?" The voice of Liu Xiujiu, wife of Political Commissar Hu, was heard in amazement.
In fact, after Chen Nongmo came to the army, he seldom visited his neighbors.
Therefore, the person who is most familiar with the military families in the family compound is only Liu Xiujiu, apart from Sister Fang Ping, who comes every day and has a bit of a face-obsessed personality.
It’s not that the two of them get along particularly well, but their partners are each other and both are interested in becoming friends.
After more than 20 days of hard work, the two of them have gone from being strangers at the beginning to being able to joke with each other now.
Chen Nongmo was not embarrassed at all: "It's mainly because my partner is too outstanding."
Hearing this, Liu Xiuju laughed out loud: "Oh my, your temper is really to my liking."
As he spoke, he reached out and poked the little girl's cheek through her scarf, and said with emotion: "Let me measure how thick your face is."
Chen Nongmo also laughed, and at the same time, he raised his hand and pinched the face of his daughter who was held in the arms of Sister Xiuju: "Look, your mother bullied me, so I will bully you."
Hearing this, Liu Xiujiu laughed even more happily, and even the three-year-old girl in her arms giggled, obviously thinking that she was playing with her.
"Hey? Is Shao Tuan really going to play? Didn't they ask him to be the referee?"
"When Captain Lu asked him to be the referee, he said so."
"Why?"
"Hey! What else can it be? Look where our Shao Tuan is looking at."
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Nongmo, who was happily waving and cheering his partner, suddenly felt a wave of attention.
In fact, she is not someone who blushes easily, but being stared at by so many people, she couldn't help but feel her cheeks quickly getting hot.
Fortunately, she was afraid of the cold, so she wore a scarf and a hat, leaving only her eyes exposed.
Just as Chen Nongmo lowered his eyes and was about to squat down and pretend to tie his shoelaces to avoid embarrassment, cheers and whistles suddenly sounded all around.
It was so deafening that Chen Nongmo, who was in the middle of it, almost couldn't help but cover his ears.
Then, before she could think about what was going on, a familiar tall figure stood in front of her.
It turned out that after a simple warm-up, Shao Zheng, who came on as a substitute, found that the little girl was being stared at by a group of bastards. He immediately became angry and with a few sliding steps, he stood in front of the little girl.
Unexpectedly, this made the young men even more excited and they started to make a fuss.
Shao Zheng knocked the hockey stick on the ground and yelled at the top of his voice, "What are you looking at? Watch the game for me. If you watch my girlfriend named Xiao Fang, write her down and I'll punish you one by one."
Hearing this, everyone hushed again, but in the end no one stared at him anymore.
It’s not that he was afraid of being punished by Shao Tuan, but he was worried that his sister-in-law would be embarrassed.
"Are you okay?" Shao Zheng turned around and asked after making sure that the bastards were no longer staring at Yu Yu.
Chen Nongmo chased them away: "It's okay, we are just joking, go play ball, everyone is waiting for you."
In fact, she was a little embarrassed. This situation was like when her college roommate went to watch her boyfriend play basketball and was teased by the other teammates out of curiosity.
Shao Zheng could see that the little girl was uncomfortable, so he stopped trying to attract other people's attention and just said, "Call me if you don't want to watch anymore."
"How could I not want to see it? I brought the equipment with me just to take a picture of your heroic look." As he said that, Chen Nongmo took out a camera from his pocket.
Then, in the other person's incredulous eyes, he proudly shook the camera in his hand.
Humph! She came prepared. She was determined to take revenge for the ugly photos of her.
Shao Zheng Shao Zheng, who knew the girl well, felt that he had seen through the "evil" intentions behind the girl's sweet smile.
= Early seventies.
Amateur ice hockey enthusiasts make their own sticks and don’t wear much protective gear, just thick velvet tied around their knees and elbows.
The protective gear was simply omitted, which looked very dangerous.
But there were 12 people on both sides, but no one showed fear on their face.
Everyone is enjoying themselves.
Enjoy the speed of sliding and colliding with your opponent using your shoulder, chest or arms.
Use the most primitive strength, swing the club, and fight fiercely for that tiny ball.
Chen Nongmo had seen it once before in ZB Park.
But this time, perhaps because of the good cooperation among teammates, the game was obviously more intense and exciting.
At the beginning, she could still keep the camera lens fixed on Brother Shao Zheng.
But playing ice hockey is an extremely physically demanding activity, and after intense collisions, frequent substitutions are inevitable.
This also includes Shao Zheng.
It was also when the target left that Chen Nongmo discovered that the others were fighting very fiercely as well.
She simply stopped focusing on one person and cheered with the people around her while capturing the wonderful shots with her camera.
She wanted to leave something behind for this passionate collision. Time passed by amid shouts and cheers.
As a 60-minute game draws to a close, the competition between the two sides becomes more intense.
Shao Zheng made a sliding shot and scored another goal! Suddenly, the whole stadium was boiling! "Oh! Shao Tuan is awesome!"
"Team Shao scored again!"
"It's really amazing. Scoring the last goal means we're three points ahead!"
“.”
"Team Shao is still as skilled as ever!!"
Amidst the shouting, a rough and loud voice suddenly came out.
The sound was deafening and the emotion was sincere, but it silenced everyone present.
At this moment, this place suddenly became quiet, as if someone had pressed the pause button.
Shao Zheng, who had scored the goal, was so excited that he let his nature loose and gave a smug smile to his little friend.
Then I heard someone calling him "still as good as ever".
Ever since he found a date who was eight years younger than him, Captain Shao, who was particularly sensitive about age, became upset.
Who is still sharp as a knife? Is he in his seventies or eighties? He muttered to himself, and his knife-like eyes shot in the direction of the sound.
"Puff" At this moment, I don't know who started it, but laughter came out one after another, and in the blink of an eye it developed into everyone laughing loudly.
Even Chen Nongmo was unable to save face for his partner and bent over with laughter along with everyone else.
Shao Zheng Seeing the man who had just been so handsome suddenly frown, Political Commissar Hu, who was very good at handling conflicts, stepped forward.
He forced himself to swallow his smile and put on a kind face: "Old Shao, the soldiers down there are all rough and rude, they are just complimenting you."
Shao Zheng looked at him coldly and curled his lips: "Are you praising me for my continued strength in front of hundreds of people? Do you want me to give it to you in front of my sister-in-law?"
What bothered him most was that the little object also heard it!
Apparently, he was very angry. Political Commissar Hu touched his nose, decided not to get into trouble for the time being, and ran away with his hands behind his back.
Shao Zheng The departure of Captain Hu was like pressing the start button again.
The quick-reacting soldier turned and ran, because the hockey game was over anyway.
Those who were slow to react, seeing others taking the lead in escaping, also ran after them.
Shao Zheng, whose face turned even darker, slid a few times and came to the side of the little girl, protecting her from being hit by others, and then shouted angrily at the tall man not far away: "Wang Tiezhu!"
"Here!" Wang Tiezhu, a sturdy man who was trying to sneak away, shrank his neck and turned back with a gloomy face. His honest look made people feel sorry for him.
Shao Zheng closed his eyes, suppressed his temper, and said, "Who taught you to be a master of swords?"
Wang Tiezhu said honestly: "I, I heard it when I was in the village. Commander, I can't read, so I didn't know it was a curse word."
Chen Nongmo wanted to say, this is not an insult, it's just an insult to your team leader.
But no, because it's just too funny, let her laugh for a while.
Shao Zheng could feel his little partner's shoulders trembling from trying to hold back his laughter.
He took a deep breath in and out.
This game was played in vain!
The more I think about it, the angrier I get!
= On the way back.
Chen Nongmo walked lightly beside the man.
From time to time, I would look up to see his expression.
Then, before he looked back, she quickly looked away and snickered to herself.
Shao Zheng Shao Zheng, who had lost his temper due to the laughter, pulled the little girl who almost stepped on the ice, and said helplessly and lovingly: "Watch the road when you walk, what if you slip?"
Chen Nongmo said as a matter of course: "Don't we still have you?"
Hearing this, the man who was very easy to coax smiled, but he warned: "You should also be careful. What if I'm not by your side, or I don't hold you back in time?"
The little girl is very good at coaxing people: "I am not like this normally, it's because you are around that I feel at ease, that's why I am like this."
Seeing that the corners of Shao Zheng's mouth were obviously curled up, Chen Nongmo continued: "And I believe that as long as you are here, you will definitely not let me fall."
This time, the man, who was not angry to begin with, started laughing: "Just try to comfort me."
Chen Nongmo covered his chest with his hands, and said solemnly: "Sincerely!"
"Puff treasure air!"
Chen Nongmo felt a little guilty when he found out that his girlfriend was so easily coaxed by him. After all, her smile just now was very sincere.
Thinking of this, just as he was about to say a few more sweet words, he saw Mrs. Qian being walked away by two soldiers not far away.
Mrs. Qian, who had been aggressive and even a little arrogant before, now hunched over.
"What's wrong with this guy?"
Shao Zheng only took a glance and then looked away: "He should be sent back to his hometown."
Chen Nongmo was surprised: "So fast?"
"The military has always been like this. Plus, our brigade political commissar seems slow and hesitant, but he actually does things vigorously and vigorously. It's normal to get results on the same day."
That was really a swift and decisive move. Just after he finished expressing his feelings, Chen Nongmo became curious again: "What about Political Commissar Zhou? Will he be punished?"
It’s not that these things can’t be discussed, and Shao Zheng didn’t hide it: “Just give me verbal criticism.”
Chen Nongmo stared: "That's it?"
The two had already arrived at the family quarters. There was no one in the house, so Shao Zheng took the key from the little girl and opened the door.
After entering the house and taking off his thick coat, he continued, "On the surface, this is true, but the influence caused by Mrs. Qian is behind it. Political Commissar Zhou should not even think about getting promoted in the next few years. Otherwise, someone will definitely use Mrs. Qian's feudal remnants to attack him. By then, let alone promotion, he may even be discharged from the army."
The main reason is that the general environment in recent years has been obsessed with destroying the four olds.
Many families are broken up because of saying the wrong thing.
After listening to his partner's explanation, Chen Nongmo still felt a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything else.
After all, she is just an outsider, and what Sister Guifen thinks is the most important.
And from a practical point of view, Political Commissar Zhou's monthly allowance of around 100 yuan is indeed a very high income at the moment. At least it can raise three children well-fed and healthy.
Thinking of the premature, frail baby, Chen Nongmo sighed and reached out to his lover, saying, "I want a hug."
Shao Zheng, who was about to go to the kitchen to get a pot and go to the cafeteria to get food, immediately pulled her into his arms and patted her back to coax her: "Don't get angry over insignificant people. It's not worth it, you know?"
Chen Nongmo habitually rubbed his face against his chest and muttered, "I'm not angry with others, I'm angry with you."
Shao Zheng was stunned for a moment and subconsciously reflected on what he had done wrong.
After a while, I still couldn't figure it out, so I just asked directly: "Tell me what I did wrong, don't keep it in your heart, it will hurt your health!"
Chen Nongmo groaned: "I am a little dissatisfied with the way you played today."
Hearing this, Shao Zheng looked embarrassed, thinking she was talking about the 'still sharp sword' thing. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the little girl in his arms explain herself: "You are so beautiful, I didn't take any ugly photos of you!"
Shao Zheng At this moment, my heart seemed to be soaked in honey.
The man who was coaxed into being overjoyed again bent down, buried his face in the neck of his little object, and laughed in satisfaction: "You, you are so sweet that I am dying of sweetness."
