The latest chapter of Rebirth in the Barracks: Ace Military Marriage is updated the fastest!
After standing on the balcony for a while and drying his hair a little, Ye Jian went back to his room and blow-dried his hair. In less than two minutes, he fell into a deep sleep on the bed.
It has been sunny in Beijing these days. Yesterday, Father Fu specially put a brand new quilt in the sun to dry. The quilt cover was also washed, dried and aired. Now lying on the bed with the air conditioner on, Ye Jian felt comfortable and lazy all over her body. She fell asleep in a short while.
Father Fu did not feel sleepy when he returned to his room. He opened the drawer on the side of the desk and took out a yellowed photo from a diary. This was... the only photo of him and his wife, and it was the photo he was going to stick on the marriage certificate.
In the photo, my wife's face is still the same, her bright eyes are narrowed as if she has scooped up autumn water, and when she looks back, she is very charming.
Father Fu looked at his wife in the photo with deep gaze. Even if he had seen it thousands of times, he would never get tired of it. His longing for her grew deeper each time he looked at her.
I don’t know how long he looked at it, but Father Fu closed his eyes gently, with a look of deep sadness on his face.
When I opened it again, I put the photo back and put the diary back into the drawer.
His daughter didn't mention much about herself, nor did she mention much about his wife. In the evening... he should ask her carefully.
No matter what the result is, he has to ask.
His father said he was too persistent, which was not a good thing.
Then, for more than 20 years, his obsession with his wife became a habit. He would inquire about his wife's whereabouts whenever he could, and even ran out to look for his wife's former comrades-in-arms.
Unfortunately, his wife's comrades in the unit at that time all used pseudonyms, which they now call "code names". Later, he thought that "Hongmei" might also be his wife's code name, and he still doesn't know her real name.
It is difficult to find even a real name in such a vast sea of people, let alone a pseudonym... Fortunately, everything has its destiny, and my nephew Jinnian met Jianer, which led to today's reunion.
His father's reminders forced him to face realities that were crueler than the last. One was... Hongmei had remarried, and the other was... Hongmei had passed away.
The latter was more cruel than the former, so much so that he only dared to think about the former and not the latter.
However, the more I tried not to think about it, the more I thought about it.
What made him even more uneasy was that his daughter avoided talking about it with his wife.
It’s not that he didn’t think of some things, but that he subconsciously refused to think about them.
"Hongmei, you have to be good, you have to be good. I have treated you two badly for more than 20 years, you can scold me and beat me, just like before, and even kick me when you are angry... I am waiting for you to settle the score."
Father Fu looked at the diary in the open drawer and murmured softly before slowly closing the drawer.
Outside, Mr. Fu was chatting with the two elders from the Qin family, as well as Mr. Tang and Professor Su, the old couple whom Ye Jian saw in the car when he first came to Dan Gui Dan last time.
Although the old gentleman has no children or grandchildren to accompany him, his daily life is still very fulfilling. People from the Aerospace Institute often come to visit, and sometimes people from the research center also come. Occasionally he needs to attend several important meetings. If he is at home one day, he will invite three or five friends to play fishing or chess. They are all old seniors who are well-versed in ancient and modern times, so he does not feel lonely when they get together.
Although I am not alone, it is a bit lonely without my children and grandchildren by my side.
