Su Xia followed the cart to the alley she was familiar with. After her brother finished unloading the items, he said hello and left.
Su Xia stayed there for a while, and after observing that there was no one around, he quickly put all the tanks into the space.
I didn't feel like going shopping anymore, so I rode my bike home after leaving the county town. It was a very hot day and there was a slight breeze, so it was quite cool.
Su Xia hummed a song while riding slowly and enjoying the cool breeze.
Su Xia had no idea that the photo she sent out today had caused ripples in a certain man's heart again.
A week later, Chen Jianguo at the Southwest Base in Gansu Province received a letter from his wife as usual.
I took the letter back to the dormitory and wanted to see what my wife wrote. I could always learn about the living conditions at home from Su Xia's letter.
As soon as the edge of the envelope was torn open, the first photo fell out. Looking at Su Xia who was smiling slightly, Chen Jianguo couldn't help but smile.
Thinking of the photo I treasured on my chest, I took it out and placed it together with the ones I took this time. There was not a single wrinkle on it, which shows how much the owner cherishes it.
Chen Jianguo carefully observed his wife and daughter in the photos. His wife looked brighter and more beautiful than before, while his daughter was taller and fatter than before. From her eyes, one could tell that she was a mischievous girl.
Chen Jianguo stroked Su Xia's eyes, nose, ears with his hands in turn, and finally rubbed her lips gently.
If someone came in at this time, they would see that Mr. Chen, who was usually serious, steady and capable, had red ears, his cheeks looked like he was wearing blush, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his hands were stroking something as if it were a rare treasure.
Chen Jianguo picked up another photo of his daughter, with her birthday written on the back.
Thinking back, it seems to have been this day. I looked at my daughter's bright little face with red eyes. From pregnancy to birth, until now when she is four years old, I, her father, have never been by her side.
Alas...this dad is such a failure.
I looked at the photo of mother and daughter again. I felt that I, as a husband, had not fulfilled my responsibilities by letting her raise the child alone and raising her so well.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Jianguo picked up the letter and began to read it.
There wasn't much in the letter, just a sentence at the end: "Dad, it's your birthday today. Mom took you to the county town to take some pictures. I've sent you the photos. Take a look at them whenever you miss me!" There was also a small smiley face drawn on it.
This should be what my daughter said, and my wife helped write it.
Chen Jianguo spent a long time working with the letter and photos.
Then he decided something and went out with the letter and the photo of his daughter.
As for the photos of mother and daughter, they had been put away long ago.
Chen Jianguo went to find his leader. When he arrived at the office door, he took a deep breath and then started knocking on the door.
Then I heard "Come in" and gently pushed the door open and went in.
When the leader saw his capable subordinate, he was also curious about what this kid had done.
"Jianguo, you little boy, how come you have time to come and see this old man today?"
Chen Jianguo didn't know how to start and looked at his leader hesitantly.
After thinking about how to start the conversation, she said, "Leader, please take a look at this first..." and then put Niu Niu's photo in front of the leader.
The leader picked it up curiously and said, "Ouch...
This child is so fat, whose child is he? It looks really rare! ”
The leader looked at the child in the photo and really liked the child. She was wearing a small green flowered skirt, small leather shoes, two braids, big eyes, two dimples when she smiled, and her arms were segmented.
You can tell at first glance that this is the family's favorite.
"Jianguo, whose child is this? He looks so cute. I want to have one too."
Chen Jianguo watched his daughter being praised and replied happily: "This is my daughter. She is already four years old. She is very cute. Her mother took her to take pictures."
Thinking of something funny, he curiously asked his subordinate: "Oh, this is the little girl who drew your grave last time!"
Chen Jianguo nodded helplessly.
The leader looked at the tanned and rough guy and said, "I didn't expect that you are so rough and your daughter is so cute!"
Chen Jianguo scratched his head embarrassedly. He also felt that his daughter might take after his wife. If she took after him, she would definitely not be as pretty as she is now.
"Hehe...it's all because of her mother's good upbringing!"
The leader looked at this little boy, who had been with him for several years. It seemed that the last time he went back was when he got married. Now the child is four years old and he is also a father. He understands his career.
"Tell me, you're not just showing off by holding your daughter's photo, are you?"
"Leader, it has to be you. Even though the child is already four years old, and I, the father, was not here for his birthday, and the child also said in the letter that he missed me."
"I came here to apply for leave from you. I want to go home to see my parents, wife and children."
The leader thought about it and realized that the project was much more stable now. The whole base knew about the painting the child had drawn before. The child thought his father was a grave. It was funny to think about it now.
Although the child seems to be imaginative and imaginative, it is also the result of the father's failure to fulfill his responsibilities.
Chen Jianguo should have been allowed to go back during the Chinese New Year, but the project he was in charge of had just entered the experimental stage at that time and he couldn't leave, so he gave the opportunity to others.
There's nothing else to do right now, so let him go back!
"Okay, I'll approve your leave for ten days. You can stay at home for five or six days. Go back and spend some time with your wife and children, so that they won't draw you into their graves again."
As he spoke, he began to write a note and a letter of introduction.
Chen Jianguo was helpless when he heard about Fentou. Now people in the entire base still use this to tease him from time to time.
Chen Jianguo took the letter of introduction and said, "Then leader, go back and take over. I will go home after the arrangements are made."
“Let’s go…let’s go!”
Chen Jianguo took the letter and left in a hurry.
The leader watched as his door slammed shut - the boy no longer had the calmness he had previously shown.
Chen Jianguo happily returned to the dormitory and started packing his luggage.
At this time, good brother Wang Tiezhu also came over.
"Old Chen, didn't you receive a letter from home? Why did you go to see your boss?
What's wrong? Is there anything wrong at home? ”
Chen Jianguo looked at his noisy brother and wondered why he was so talkative.
“Stop…
No one has even come in, but I can hear you chattering nonstop. ”
"Nothing, just taking a leave to go home and have a look."
When Wang Tiezhu heard about the request for leave, he said it was okay.
s then anxiously followed Chen Jianguo and watched him pack his things.
"No, I'm not your brother. If you have anything to say, just tell me. You've already asked for leave, and you're still saying it's okay. Don't worry, I have my brothers here."
Chen Jianguo looked at him speechlessly and threw his daughter's photo to him.
Wang Tiezhu took it and looked at it: "Oh...
Our eldest daughter has grown taller and gained weight. ”
As Chen Jianguo packed up, he said, "My daughter is already four years old, so I thought I'd go home and see her now while I'm not so busy."
Wang Tiezhu thought so too. Among these people, only Old Chen had not been back for almost five years. It was time for him to go back.
"Then wait a minute. I'll go get you the tickets I saved. You can go back and bring something for your sister-in-law and the kids."
Chen Jianguo was not polite: "Thanks, brother."
"What are you thanking me for? We are all brothers. Wait, I'll go back and get it." After saying that, he went to get the ticket.
Chen Jianguo was thinking about his own ticket and was going to ask his colleagues to exchange some. He had to bring more with him since he was finally going home.
Chen Jianguo was preparing things to take home, and was also looking forward to how excited his wife and daughter would be when he got home in a few days.
Su Xia on this end didn’t know. If she knew, she wouldn’t know whether she would be excited or frightened?
