I, Li Jianjian, became the squad leader of our company in 1985. At that time, I was a well-known person, disciplined and responsible, but my personal problems were never solved. On vacation that year, I went back to my hometown, thinking that someone should be the matchmaker this time. As a result, for thirty days, I didn't even see the shadow of a matchmaker.
After the leave, I returned to the army with a sulky stomach. That afternoon, the instructor called me into the office. When I saw it, my heart beat a drum, which one is this?
"Construction, how old are you this year?" The instructor asked me with a smile.
"Report to the instructor, I'm twenty-six." I replied immediately.
"Well, it's time to start a family. I have a distant relative, a school girl, who is beautiful and has a good personality, I think you two are a good match. The instructor said, taking a picture out of a drawer and handing it to me.
When I looked at it, the girl in the photo was smiling like a flower, and her heart was beating faster. This is the instructor himself, can I not be excited?
"Instructor, this is the ...... Is it reliable? I asked cautiously.
"Reliable! Don't worry, it's up to me. The instructor patted his chest and said.
In this way, I began to exchange letters with the instructor's distant student. At first, I was quite reserved and didn't know what to write. Gradually, however, I discovered that she was not only handwriting beautifully, but also ingenious, and she was quite interested in me as a rough man.
While our correspondence was in full swing, Lianli suddenly received an order for us to carry out an urgent mission. Time was pressing, and I didn't have time to tell my younger sister, so I could only carry her photo in my arms and embark on the journey.
It was a stormy night, and we marched rapidly on the mountain road. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the comrades in front stepped on the mine. Without saying a word, I rushed up and pushed my comrades away, but I was blown away.
When I woke up, I found myself lying in the hospital, covered in bandages. I struggled to sit up, but I broke out in a cold sweat. At this time, the instructor walked in, still holding a letter in his hand.
"Construction, your life is a great blessing, and you have picked up a life. This is a letter written to you by a senior sister, take a look. "The instructor handed me the letter.
I endured the pain and opened the envelope. My sister's handwriting is still beautiful, and she told me in the letter that she is willing to wait for me to recover and spend the rest of my life together.
At that moment, I burst into tears. I know that I have found a place to rely on in this life.
Later, I recovered and was discharged from the hospital and married my younger sister. At the wedding, the instructor smiled from ear to ear and said that this was the most successful matchmaking he had ever done.
Now, my sister and I have gone through dozens of spring and autumn seasons, and our children and grandchildren are full. Whenever I recall those years, I will be full of emotion: thanks to the instructor's matchmaking, I met such a good wife and accompanied me through the ups and downs of life.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, our children have grown up and are busy with their own lives. And my sister and I have also entered the twilight years. Although our youth has passed, our relationship has grown deeper. In the dead of night, we would look through the letters of those years together and reminisce about that youthful time.
It was a sunny day, and my sister and I decided to visit the instructor's house. I haven't seen him for many years, and the instructor has gray hair, but his spirit is still strong. He was very happy to see us, and hurriedly pulled us to sit down and asked about life over the years.
"Construction, I was a matchmaker for you back then, but I didn't expect you to really come together and live so happily." The instructor said with a smile.
"Yes, Instructor, thanks to you. If it weren't for you, my sister and I might have missed it. I said with emotion.
The senior sister also smiled and said: "At that time, I was still worried that Jianshe was a rough man, but I didn't expect him to be so delicate in his heart and so good to me." ”
While chatting, we recalled the moments of our time in the army. Suddenly, the instructor mentioned a name - Xiao Wang.
"Do you remember Xiao Wang? It's the comrade-in-arms who was saved by you back then. The instructor asked me.
I nodded: "Of course I remember, how is he now?" ”
"He, after being discharged from the army, returned to his hometown and became a teacher. A few days ago, he mentioned you, saying that if it weren't for you, he might not be alive now. The instructor said with emotion.
Hearing this, a warm current also welled up in my heart. The comradeship-in-arms of those years is still fresh in my memory. I saved Xiao Wang, and Xuemei saved me, and we both left a deep mark on each other's lives.
When we were leaving, the instructor sent us to the door, and he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Jianjian, you should cherish the life in front of you, and you should come back to see me often." ”
We said yes to the instructor and waved goodbye. On the way home, the younger sister held my hand tightly and said with a smile: "Construction, we have come this way, it is really not easy." ”
"Yes, but we've supported each other and gone through so many ups and downs together. In the days to come, we will continue to move forward hand in hand. I looked at my sister affectionately, and my heart was full of gratitude.
The years are getting old, but our feelings are getting stronger. In the coming days, we will spend countless spring and autumn together, and spend the rest of our lives together. And those good memories will always remain in our hearts and become the driving force for us to move forward.
The days went by like this, and we were calm and happy. Until one day, Xiao Wang suddenly appeared at my door, he was dusty, but his eyes revealed firmness.
"Jianjian, I heard that you were here, so I came to see you." I stretched out my hand, and I held it tightly.
"Why are you here? Don't say it in advance. I asked in surprise.
"Hey, I just wanted to surprise you. Besides, brothers for so many years, do you still need those politeness? Xiao Wang smiled and sat on the sofa.
The younger sister was busy making tea, Xiao Wang looked around and exclaimed: "Construction, you are really good here, and your life is very moist." ”
"It's okay, it's all thanks to you." I said with emotion.
Xiao Wang shook his head: "No, it's your own blessing." I remember that time on the battlefield, you saved my life, I always remember. I have a reluctant request to come this time. ”
I looked at him and said seriously, "You say, as long as I can do it, I will do my best." ”
Xiao Wang was silent for a while, and then said, "My son, he wants to be a soldier, I want him to be a real man like you." ”
I was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "This is a good thing, your son has this ambition, I support it." ”
In this way, Xiao Wang's son was also conscripted into the army soon after. Looking at the way he put on his military uniform, I seemed to see myself back then, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in my heart.
Time flies, and Xiao Wang's son performs well in the army and gradually grows into an excellent fighter. Whenever he came home from vacation, he would come to visit me and report to me about his life in the army.
"Uncle Jianjian, I will definitely be like you and become an excellent soldier." He always said that.
I patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Remember, a soldier must not only be brave, but also have a sense of responsibility. Protect your comrades, just like your father did back then. ”
The years have left their mark on us, but our spirit has been passed on to the next generation. My sister and I still walk in the sunset every day, holding hands and enjoying each other's company.
One day, we sat down on a bench in the park, and the school girl leaned on my shoulder and whispered, "Construction, you see, how much fun the children have over there." ”
I looked at the children playing not far away, and my heart was full of emotion: "Yes, generation after generation, our lives go on." ”
"We also have to go on and live well." The younger sister held my hand, and our eyes met, full of anticipation for the future.
Our life is like the old tree that has gone through the wind and rain, although the branches and leaves are no longer luxuriant, but the foundation is more and more solid. We will walk hand in hand through every tomorrow until the earth is desolate.
The days went by like this, and we were calm and happy. Until one day, Xiao Wang suddenly appeared at my door, he was dusty, but his eyes revealed firmness.
"Jianjian, I heard that you were here, so I came to see you." I stretched out my hand, and I held it tightly.
