Chapter 349 The love story of the uncle, the mysterious military compound
It was early six o'clock in the evening, and the sky was already dark.
The jeep drove smoothly on the road, heading towards the military compound.
In 1949, a large number of people came to Beijing from all over the country.
Soon they discovered that courtyards and alleys could not accommodate so many outsiders.
As a result, office buildings and dormitory areas appeared one after another on the west and north sides of the old city.
Gradually, walls were built around some buildings and various compounds were formed.
For an out-and-out old BJ, the compound is mysterious.
Especially the military compound.
The residents in the compound come from all over the world with their southern and northern accents. Each compound is fully functional, with auditoriums, playgrounds, bathrooms, swimming pools, clubs, shops, post offices, savings banks, schools, hospitals, and even neighborhood committees. independent.
Fang Yan has never been inside, and has only heard the stories inside. He heard it in his previous life, and he will also hear it in this life.
Know that there is a courtyard and a world inside.
You can get all the resources you need for life and work without leaving the compound. You don’t have to worry about daily necessities, and you can stay organized.
The people here and the residents outside the compound have completely different styles. They are too lazy to understand old BJ's worldly manners. They all adhere to their original living habits and rarely interact with people outside the compound.
To a certain extent, the marriage between the uncle Zhu Lang and the sister-in-law Ye Yun is also a free love between two big brothers, but one is the big brother of the faculty and staff, and the other is the big brother of the military region.
Fang Yan felt that the atmosphere in the car was a bit awkward and solemn, so he took the initiative to stir up the topic. He asked his uncle Zhu Lang beside him:
"By the way, how did the eldest brother and sister-in-law meet?"
"Did we know each other in Beijing, or did we meet when we were jumping in line in Guangdong?"
Zhu Lang came back to his senses and hurriedly continued the conversation, saying:
"Ye Yun and I... we met when we were working in the production team. At that time, our production team happened to be next to each other. She always liked to ask me for help if anything happened at that time. As soon as we went back and forth, I knew she must be watching. Fuck me.”
"Then we got along within a few months."
As soon as he said this, his sister-in-law Ye Yun, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, spat, then laughed and cursed:
"Bah, you were obviously the one who wrote the love letter to me at that time. You wrote it every now and then. You are not ashamed!"
My uncle blushed and said with a smile:
"Then it depends on how interested you are in me."
"Otherwise, you can marry me without telling your family?"
The first year the two of them went to the countryside to join the team, they got married immediately. The reason was not just for life like the eldest sister, but because of their relationship.
This can indeed make many people envious.
Thinking of Zhu Lang's words, Ye Yun said:
"You're still talking about me! When I first came back, I asked you to meet my family, and you were so scared that you broke out in a cold sweat."
Zhu Lang smacked his lips, recalling the original feeling, still a little frightened, and said:
"You haven't been to the military compound. Who knows if it's a dragon's pool or a tiger's den inside."
"In the past, I only saw the sons and brothers of your compound fighting outside, and the people's brains were beaten into dog brains. Aren't I afraid of going in and being beaten?"
"How can my little arms and legs withstand a beating from your brothers and sisters!"
Ye Yun rolled his eyes at Zhu Lang in the rearview mirror and said angrily:
"Then have you been beaten?"
Zhu Lang scratched his head and smiled:
"Haha, that's not true. The rules in your military compound are indeed different from those outside. Everything is straight forward."
"But don't tell me yet. If you hadn't liked being straightforward at that time, we might not have been able to make this happen."
The uncle obviously wanted to change the topic, but the sister-in-law stopped and said to him:
"Don't change the subject. My brother-in-law is here. Can you tell me how you felt when you first came back and met your parents?"
The eldest uncle glanced ahead, then touched his chin with a look of reminiscence.
Then he said:
"To be honest, I was very nervous at first. I even broke out in a cold sweat. I have never been to a military compound. In addition, my father-in-law is a high-ranking official, and even my mother-in-law's family is from the military. The two families gathered together At the same time, if that person punched me, I wouldn’t have enough bones to knock it off, but then I thought about it, my daughter has already given birth to two children, and I’m so scared!”
He slapped his thigh:
"I'm going to see my father-in-law as soon as my heart breaks down!"
Having said this, he smiled and said:
"But it turns out it's not bad. Your family is quite open-minded and didn't make things difficult for me."
"Didn't even say a harsh word to me."
Having said this, he looked somewhat proud.
Ye Yun in front of him rolled his eyes at him.
Fang Yan looked at the conversation between the couple and immediately found it quite interesting. Just as he was about to continue the topic, the sister-in-law Ye Yun in front asked curiously:
"By the way, brother-in-law, how did you and Linlin meet at that time?"
My uncle also said:
"Yes, I heard what my mother said at the time. She said that when she came back from a business trip, you and Linlin had your father's approval... You are not slower than us."
Ye Yun's eyes were also filled with gossip flames at this moment, and he urged:
"Tell me what's going on?"
Dialect said:
"Linlin and I met by chance..."
"Her friend Shen Hong was an intern doctor under my mother's care, and one afternoon when we were about to get off work, we met."
The uncle asked curiously:
"Then you saw each other?"
Dialect shook his head:
"That's not true."
He paused, faced the curious eyes of the couple, and continued:
"I saw that the girl was pretty, so I chatted a little more, and then I realized that we both went to the Industrial College."
"And she is actually just one building away from our house."
"It's just because she doesn't come home often, so I didn't see her." "At that time, my family wanted to arrange a blind date for me, and I thought that instead of going on a blind date, it would be better to find a free love with someone I like."
After saying this, the uncle and brother nodded one after another.
If they hadn't gotten married, they would probably be on a blind date now that they were back.
"Then what?" Sister-in-law Ye Yun asked.
Dialect said:
"Then, the second time we met, I invited her to my house for dinner."
"Did she agree?" my uncle asked.
Dialect nodded:
"Yes, agreed."
"Ouch!" Ye Yun, the sister-in-law, exclaimed. She didn't expect that the two seemingly gentle people would develop so rapidly that they would come to the house for dinner as soon as they arrived.
Fang Yan continued:
"At that time, I thought that since the two families are so close to each other, I might as well call all my family members over, and then I would also invite my father-in-law over on the same day."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"After that meeting, although I didn't say it openly, my father-in-law basically acquiesced in our relationship."
Ye Yun was already shocked. This development was faster than she thought. The second time they met, they not only went to have dinner at home, but also met their parents.
The progress that had taken the couple eight years was completed in a short period of time.
Except having children of course.
Dialect continued:
"Then I waited until my mother-in-law came back, and then I went to have a meal. With my parents' consent, Linlin and I confirmed our relationship."
"Then there is the engagement, decorating the courtyard, getting the marriage certificate, and finally the wedding."
Ye Yun exclaimed:
"It's very fast, it only takes a few months."
Fang Yan responded with a smile:
"It's almost the same as you."
"When you meet the right person, hurry up to avoid a long night of dreams."
"Hahaha, that's well said." The uncle nodded repeatedly.
……
The three of them chatted and gossiped along the way, and the atmosphere in the car became relaxed.
Unknowingly, we arrived at the military compound.
It was getting dark now, and Fang Yan saw that the north side of the compound was built against the mountain, with a road running through the compound.
There were two guards standing straight at the door. After seeing the vehicle, they did not check their IDs. They saluted the vehicles and let them go.
Not far after entering, there is a large auditorium for organizing activities. There is a square outside the auditorium. Today is the weekend. There are many children in the square carrying benches and sitting in the square, watching movies.
The dialect discovery is the classic film "Tunnel War".
To the south of the square is a large dormitory area.
Seeing the direction of Fang Yan's gaze, the uncle said to him:
"Those red ones are the four-story dormitories where ordinary cadres live. Those with higher grades live in two-story white buildings. The ones with higher grades are halfway up the mountain outside the courtyard. There are small villas built there, which are even better than here. Advanced.”
Fang Yan nodded.
The uncle continued:
"There are three scheduled broadcasts in the morning, noon and evening. The daily schedule is very regular, and there are also group running and exercises. Most people are used to eating in the canteen. The canteens here are divided into different levels. There are fewer people in the canteens with higher levels. , the cooking is more precise.”
“We didn’t cook during this period, we all ate in the canteen.”
"They have a kindergarten and a primary school here. They won't go out to study until they reach junior high school. It's really more convenient."
"It's just that life is too organized and regular. Outside, they like to visit relatives during the New Year and festivals, and have wedding banquets when they get married, but most people here don't have this habit."
"It's all about simplicity. Ye Yun's family is more particular about it, so they have retained many customs from their hometown."
"Otherwise I really can't stand it."
After speaking, he lowered his voice and revealed:
"And the children here don't know what's going on. Children in their early ten years are always talking about national affairs and world conditions. If you want to say they understand, they seem to really understand. If you want to talk about it in detail, they definitely don't either. method, so Qianqian and Honghong are not used to it at all.”
"They just like singing and jumping rubber bands, so they can't play with these kids."
Fang Yan suddenly realized that no wonder the two children couldn't bear to leave while staying in his courtyard.
They have been in the countryside for so many years, and it really takes time to integrate when they come back.
Even adults are not used to it, let alone children.
While he was talking, the car turned a corner and came to a two-story white building and stopped slowly.
As soon as the car stopped, the driver got out and opened the doors.
Fang Yan jumped out of the car, straightened his clothes, and then began to look around.
Everything here looks orderly, with a sense of toughness and solemnity.
There are no leaves on the road and it is very clean.
It fits the dialect's imagination of the military compound.
"Let's go inside and eat!" Ye Yun said to Fang Yan.
Fang Yan nodded and prepared to follow him inside.
At this moment, at the door of Xiaobailou next door, a young man in military uniform came out. Then he saw Ye Yungang and wanted to say hello, but was suddenly stunned, his eyes fell on Fang Yan, and then he tentatively shouted:
"Eh? Doctor Fang?!"
