The concealment behind the smile
Before entering the door, I suddenly hid the smile on my face as if by magic, and pushed open the door of my hometown with a sad face. My father was glad about my return, but when he learned that I had not been promoted, he was not angry, but comforted: "The experience is always good." But then when I mentioned my lost demobilization fee, my old father was furious: "This kid hasn't grown at all, but his beard has grown." ”
Girlfriend Guo Xiaoni's ambivalent feelings
I wanted to use a joke to ease the family atmosphere, pretending to wipe my tears and saying: "Daddy, my son has no ability, he is a pig feeder in the army, and he has no chance to do it at all..." But my father patted me lightly on the shoulder and comforted, "It's okay, I will definitely not be difficult to find a job in the future." Unexpectedly, my girlfriend Guo Xiaoni heard that I didn't mention it and lost the money, and her mood changed greatly. I explained with a smile to keep it joking, and my father laughed even more, but Xiao Ni was disappointed in me.

A few days later, Guo Xiaoni was waiting at the door of my house, wearing two braids, and threw herself into my arms as soon as we met, calling "Brother Tianzi".

I couldn't come up with so much money, Guo Xiaoni chose Li Eryong in hesitation.

I could only leave gloomily, and Guo Xiaoni in my heart began to drift away. When I returned to the army, I worked hard, but the wounds in my heart could not heal.
