When Mr. Fu heard the voice, he knew who was talking to him before he turned around. The voice was old, but still as cheerful and optimistic as he remembered.
Turning around, he saw his old friend walking towards him, then looked at the cane in his hand and laughed as well, "Hahaha, you and I are the same. In the blink of an eye, half a century has passed, you are old, I am old, and those idiots around you have all started families and careers."
He is old, old. The young captain Yunkui is also old now. Look at his hair, it is all white like his.
"It's been 52 years since we last met, Captain Yunkui. Only your eyes give me a sense of familiarity." When the old man saw his old friend approaching, he took hurried steps to greet him.
The old man retired from his job at the age of 70. If the institute had not firmly disagreed with him continuing to work so hard, he might have worked until he was 80.
He retired at the age of 70, and finally settled in Beijing when he was 75. It was at the insistence of the country and the institute that he returned to Dangui Garden to retire.
After returning to Beijing, he did not have free time. He attended academic conferences from time to time and sometimes had to go to classes. Later, due to health reasons, the old man gradually rarely left Dangui Garden and never contacted Mr. Xia.
And Mr. Xia had no idea that the old man had returned to Beijing. He only knew that he was still in the army. The old man sent someone to inquire about him, but it was inconvenient to leave an address, so the two had no news for decades.
Now, after fifty-two years, they meet again, and there is no estrangement between them. Just a few words are enough to support each other.
Commander-in-Chief Xia needed to return to the military headquarters in a hurry. Seeing that the two elders were already chatting, he left quietly with his guards. After leaving the courtyard, he hurriedly got into the car and rushed to the military headquarters.
In the courtyard, two old men stood under the pomegranate tree. Old Man Xia looked up at the pomegranate tree that was full of fruits again, with deep memories of the past in his eyes. "This tree... I told you that it was planted by my old father when I was born. Now, my old father has passed away for fifty-one years, and you and I are both old."
Speaking of Grandpa Xia, who has passed away for half a century, Mr. Fu sighed: "When I was about to die, the bedridden old man told me that the other half of light is always darkness, and I am standing in the darkness now. Only by constantly moving forward can I reach the light and realize my dream."
"He also told me that if I had any trouble, I could come to him. You stuffed a pomegranate into my old lady's mouth, and I don't know when the old man stuffed a gold bar into my mouth. Old Xia, I was able to survive thanks to this gold bar."
At that time, the Xia family was still a wealthy family. Not to mention one gold bar, even ten could be easily taken out. Unfortunately, the young old gentleman refused it resolutely. In the end, it was Old Master Xia who secretly stuffed the gold bars into his pocket, and only then did he get through the many difficulties that followed.
Recalling the past events again, the eyes of the two experienced old men could not help but become moist.
"Look at this tree. It's still full of fruits half a century later. When they're ripe, I'll have someone pick half and send them to you." Old Man Xia patted the thick trunk of the pomegranate tree. "Every year from now on, I'll give you half."
When people get old, they always think of the past from time to time. The two elderly people in their octogenarians became good friends in their prime, but time passed quickly and they became white-haired old men in the blink of an eye.
