The promise is old, the meeting is just right

Chapter 1 Wedge A Letter That Wasn't Sent

I haven't written to you for a long time.

Winter in City B is always extremely cold.When I got up early, I woke up from the cold, and when I looked out the window, there was another heavy snowfall.

This winter, Lao He's body began to have some problems intermittently.I advised him to go to the hospital, but Lao He never agreed.Whenever I mentioned it, he always frowned and scolded me, saying: "I have been a soldier for more than ten years, and I have no resistance to this minor disease?"

In fact, I understand, Lao He is afraid.He was afraid that if the checkup turned out to be bad or bad, he would not be able to leave the gate of the hospital since then.In the end, I cried a lot, and Lao He reluctantly went for a checkup.No major issues, luckily.

I forgot when I started calling him "Old He, Old He". After calling him for so many years, he is really old.That day I was sitting side by side with him watching TV, and when I turned my head inadvertently, I saw a stubble of white hair on his temples.It's so bright, it's really eye-catching.I looked uncomfortable and said that I would dye his hair, but was laughed at by Lao He.

The military parade for the 07th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China was playing on TV. Lao He stared at it for a while, and suddenly felt that the most regrettable thing about being a soldier for more than ten years was that he could not wait for the army to change his job. Oh, the [-]-style military uniform is so energetic and chic.He said, smiling.

I also laughed, but my heart was sour.

I know that Lao He has always missed that place, just like me.I miss the old compound, the farm, the river beach, the flowers all over the mountains and the countless happy times.I miss them day and night, even though I haven't been back all these years.

Not long ago, I found out that in two years, the old compound and the farm will all be demolished.I lost sleep again the day I heard the news.I've always been a belated person emotionally, and I always feel sad long after we've been apart.Therefore, dreams are the only place where I can find solace.

In the dream, I went back to the farm again, climbing over the low wall to tease the tadpoles in the river beach; Here, I bumped to a far away place in a military card, opened my eyes in a mist, and saw you.
