The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 108 Dialing
This morning, after Lin Mi left the ward, the door was left open.Lin Yitang was woken up by the cold wind within less than half an hour of sleeping on the bed.He opened the quilt and got out of bed, looked around blankly, listening to the wind blowing through the dry vines outside the window, feeling a kind of loneliness in late autumn approaching.In the eyes of others, he is a lucky man, born with a golden spoon in his mouth, his family background and future are far beyond the reach of his peers, he can marry his sweetheart at a young age, and enjoy his life forever.However, when he arrived in Peiping, he discovered that fate also had a cruel side, but he had pretended to be friendly before.In addition to being injured and almost losing his life, there is also the fact that he is difficult to face, but he has to admit defeat: Lin Mi does not love him, at most it is family affection plus liking, and her heart is all with the little scholar.

He suddenly remembered that since he was hospitalized, he hadn't called home in person.Mrs. Lin did not allow him to tell his parents about his injury, saying that he was afraid of worrying.Mr. Lin spends most of his time at sea, and she does all the communication between his nephew and uncle.However, she often misses some work information that her nephew cares about.It's understandable when you think about it, after all, women don't understand military affairs.Lin Yitang had the illusion of a blind man feeling an elephant, and couldn't tell the situation clearly.

He asked Mrs. Lin several times to help him go to the duty room to make a phone call, but she refused.He could bear it then, but now he desperately wants to go.Could it be that there is something to hide?
Lin Yitang knew his aunt's temper well. When she decides what to do, others have to obey and not object.To put it bluntly, Mr. Lin is a very strict wife.He has no personal space at all, and he dares not have other pastimes except to go shopping for treasures in famous antique streets.You must bring your wife with you on every occasion, and you are not allowed to see other women, otherwise there will be a Lion's Roar when you go home.

Qi Jiang's guess was right, Lin Yitang's subconscious mind was also afraid of this mother-in-law-to-be.So he can only wait until the mother and daughter are not around before he dares to move freely.

He came to the corridor with a cane, chose a duty room far from the ward, and tried to walk a few steps faster to buy more time for the phone.

There was no one in the duty room, and he finally felt less nervous. He picked up the receiver, and his hands trembled when he dialed the number. He was even a little uncertain about his home phone number.He tried three times before he dialed correctly. When he heard the "beep" on the other side of the phone, he felt like a lake that had been thrown with stones, and it was difficult to calm down.

It was his father who answered the phone, "Hello—excuse me?"

He put the receiver close to his ear, "Dad, it's me, I'm sorry to call you just now..."

Lin Yitang spoke cautiously, not daring to reveal the injury.And Mrs. Lin had already told his parents that because there were still some important things to finish, she postponed her return.So his father didn't ask about it.

However, he could hear his father's tone of sadness and regret.

"Dad, do you have something to say? Don't keep it from me. "

The father sighed, and finally told him the bad news: "Yitang, my good son, I know you have put in a lot of hard work to get the No. .I advise you to stay in the army. With your talent and hard work, you will become a general sooner or later. Don’t think about going abroad for further studies. You can also learn knowledge at home..."

Lin Yitang wept quietly when he heard this.After graduating from middle school, he could have been admitted to university, but his father and uncle coaxed him into the army.For Lin Mi, he put up with all kinds of unpleasant things in the army. From an innocent student to a cold-blooded and tough officer, it only took three years, but his original ideal was almost destroyed.

The Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War was an unforgettable past for the Chinese navy, and it was a historical lesson worth remembering and vigilant. But when he really put on the military uniform and integrated into the army, he realized how powerless the ideal of saving the country was in the face of darkness and corruption.No one really wants to understand and use many advanced weapons and theoretical knowledge abroad.The vast majority of generals still manage their troops according to the former Qing Dynasty, including his beloved uncle.In the past three years, he has devoted all his free time to books, often reading late at night, which is why he was able to become a blockbuster in the selection examination for foreign students held by the government.People praised him for his extraordinary talent, and no one saw his silent efforts, except for a friend of the opposite sex who spent a lot of effort finding books and taking notes for him.Now, studying abroad is unreliable, and he feels sorry for her help.

He was holding the receiver dumbly, unable to understand a word of what his father said next, he could only pretend to understand and say: "Okay..."

In the end, the father warned: "The younger siblings in the family all set an example for you. As the eldest grandson, you have to live up to it. Let's talk next time, take care."

Lin Yitang hung up the phone and continued to dial without hesitation.At this moment, I feel very wronged and lonely, and I am far away from my hometown. No one can know his sadness.Like anyone who is nearly crushed by stress, he desperately needed a place to talk.In front of friends of the same sex, it would be embarrassing to vomit bitterness, so he could only choose to find her.

The phone line was busy at first, and he was reluctant to hang up simply and rudely, but waited patiently.During the short wait, the scene of her coming to the station to see her off on the day she left home and went north clearly appeared before her eyes.

She actually visited him at home the night before and asked him when he would be back.At that time, he didn't expect to stay in Peiping for a long time, so he casually said to her, "Ten and a half months."

Now it is from September to the end of November, more than two months, will she feel that she is lying?
Although Lin Yitang is not close to women, his attraction to the opposite sex is no less than a huge electromagnetic field.If he had gone to college instead of going to the army, girls would probably come to him every day.

In the vast sea of ​​people, he pursues the concept of love of "Three Thousands of Weak Waters, Take Only One Scoop".Apart from Lin Mi, there is only one confidant in his world.

Originally, he and she had no intersection.When he was young, a special guest came to a banquet held by his family.With his arrival, there is also a smart and lovely little daughter.At that time, he was pulling Lin Mi to play on the swing in the garden, and the girl saw that they were having fun, so she came to join in the fun.

"Little brother, I also want to play on the swing, you help me rock it gently." She stretched out her tender little hand to touch the rope of the swing.

"Okay, wait a minute." He carried Lin Mi off the swing, "Hey, Mimi, let the little guest play."

Who knows that Lin Miren is a big kid, and he hasn't had a good time yet. Seeing his cousin helping the strange young lady on the swing, he felt a lot of sullenness in his stomach.

When the young lady got on the swing, Lin Yitang pulled the rope with all her strength before she could swing it...

What happened next made Lin Yitang dumbfounded: the little girl on the swing flew out like a rubber ball and fell to the ground with a loud crash.However, she was very brave, a pair of knees were bleeding, but she didn't cry out, tears dripped silently.

He picked her up from the ground, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, I didn't help you well." Out of guilt, Lin Yitang picked a bouquet of dewy roses in the garden. Xiang, did not think deeply.

　When we are young, we will remember the first bouquet of flowers, whether it was sent or received.
