Burning Moscow

Seeing that there were only two of us left in the room, O'Xianen appeared to be restrained, especially as his gaze swept across the row of medals on my chest, suddenly showing embarrassment and a flustered expression, Huo Di stood up. Seeing him at a loss, I became more steadfast, and I knew in my heart that I was alone tonight. Apart from talking, it is estimated that no more stories will happen.

In order to relieve O’shanin’s nervousness, I raised my hand and pressed it down, and smiled and said to him: "Don’t stand, sit down, we are a husband and wife, you don’t need to be so restrained. If you don’t want to talk, then Please be a listener and listen to me tell you the story between us. I hope my story can help you find your lost memories."

After Oshanin sat down, he did not speak to my proposal, but silently nodded in approval.

When I was about to tell Oshanin's story about him and Li Da, I suddenly found that there was too much to say, and it was really hard to tell in a few words. I couldn't help muttering to myself: "How should I put it, I can almost write a book with your experience, where should I start?"

"Lida," Oshanin said in a nervous voice that changed his tone suddenly: "Please start when we met. Maybe such a coherent story can make me think of a starting point."

"Well, I'll start from how we met." In order to recall the love story between Lida and Oshanin, I spoke slowly: "It was before the war. The school organized our ninth grade students and border guards. At a party in, I sat in the audience with my classmates and watched the border guards show how to train military dogs. I saw a military dog ​​leaping high under your command and leaped over. It was the closest to you and yet again. I was so scared that I was afraid of dogs and barked out. When you heard my barking, you immediately stopped the army dog, looked at me in the audience, and smiled apologetically.

That night, we had a party with the border guards at the club. The lights are brilliant in the club. With the brisk waltz, people danced gracefully. I don't know how to dance, so I sat alone on the bench and watched everyone dance. Turning back inadvertently. Seeing that you are also sitting on a bench, it seems that you can't dance. Blushing time and time again declined the girl who came to invite you to dance. The loyal army dog ​​has been following you, lying at your feet honestly.

You saw that I was spying on you, so you smiled at me. At that time, I was flushed with shame, and I quickly sat upright, staring at my hands without squinting. At this time, another girl came to invite you to dance, and when you declined to the girls, the army dog ​​stood up from the ground. Quietly walked to my side..."

I just said this, when a knock at the door suddenly interrupted my narration. I stood up, walked to the door, opened the door, and before I could see the people outside clearly, I said dissatisfied, "Is there something?"

"Comrade General," a woman's voice sounded outside, "I am here to bring you refreshments by the command of the director."

I heard that refreshments were given to us. I was embarrassed to get angry at others, so I had to put my body aside and spread my hands inside. Say: "Please come in."

After getting my permission, the waitress standing outside the door came in with a large plate. This is a middle-aged woman with short hair. When she came to the table, she put the cup, teapot, and cup. Sugar plates, plates with white bread, sliced ​​sausages, and cans of braised pork were all placed on the table in front of O’shanin.

I looked at the things on the table, especially the canned food in English, which made me very curious. I asked the waitress: "Comrade waiter, I want to ask. Where does this canned pork come from? of?"

"Where else can I come from, Comrade General." The waitress replied with a smile: "Of course it was aided by American allies. Although we have a lot of canned food in our guest house, the director generally only uses it to entertain important guests. "Speaking of which. She was silent for a moment, and then cautiously asked, "Comrade General, are you not a Muslim?"

"No, I am not." I knew why she asked this, so I immediately denied it, and then euphemistically issued a eviction order to her: "Well, comrade waiter, there is nothing for you here, you can go."

The waitress must have been instructed by the director, listen to me, don't talk nonsense, just walk out with a big plate. Before leaving the house, she turned her head and pointed to a phone beside the bed and said to me: "Comrade General, if you have any instructions, you can call the duty officer. The number is three zeros."

"I see, comrade waiter, thank you for bringing us refreshments." After I said this, I closed the door.

I walked back to the table and said to Oshanin, who was sitting there, "Honey, I think you should be hungry after having dinner for such a long time. Let’s eat something. Let’s talk while eating... "

In order not to let Oshanin feel restrained, after I said this, I picked up the teapot and poured tea into the cup in front of Oshanin.

After the tea was full, Oshanin took a sip from his teacup, then looked at me and said, "Lida, please go on and talk about it. I want to try the next story. Is there any way to awaken my memory? help."

I nodded and sat down. When I wanted to continue speaking, but forgot where I was talking, I asked Oshanin, "My dear, where did I just say?"

"Speaking of when I rejected the invitation of other female classmates on the misunderstanding, the army dog ​​sneaked up to you." Seeing that I couldn't remember what the story just said, Oshanin immediately gave me a reminder.

"Well, I remembered it, it's really up to this point." His reminder made me immediately connect the plot in my mind, so I went on and said: "I have been afraid of dogs since I was a child. When I reached my side, I drew back desperately. Although I was scared in my heart, I didn’t want to scream because it was too shameful. Army dogs kept swaying their heads at me to show friendship, which on the contrary It made me even more scared. Fortunately, you discovered the behavior of the army dog ​​in time, you blew a whistle, and the general called back to yourself.

Then you got up and walked over and said apologetically: ‘I’m sorry, I think my army dog ​​frightened you, I apologize to you. ’After saying that you are leaving, but just after taking a step, you stopped and said to me: ‘It’s called Sasha. It seems to like you very much, if you want, you can try to touch its head. ’

Under your encouraging eyes. I tried to reach out and didn't wait to touch Sasha's head. She drew back in fright. However, with your repeated encouragement, I finally touched Sasha's furry head. It gently pressed its head against the palm of my hand, and innocent joy appeared in its round eyes.

After introducing ourselves, we went to dance on the dance floor. When you stood awkwardly on the dance floor with my waist, you realized that neither of you can dance. We walked around like others, but we couldn't figure out how to keep each other's feet consistent. We wandered awkwardly on the dance floor, attracting people's giggling eyes. "

When I said this, the embarrassment of Lida and Oshanin came to mind. A smile appeared on his face. But Oshanin didn't know why I was laughing, and followed up with a few dry laughs.

Then I talked about the detailed process of the relationship between Lida and Oshanin, which made my mouth dry. I looked at the empty teacup in front of me, and just wanted to take the teapot and pour myself a cup of tea. Unexpectedly, Oshanin stood up, picked up the teapot on the table first, and poured tea into my teacup.

After habitually thanking me, I picked up my teacup and took a few sips. After I felt no discomfort, I continued to tell the story of Lida and Oshanin's marriage: "...We got off the tram that day. We went directly to the marriage. Registrar. Although we were the first pair to register, the staff responsible for handling procedures did not relax the requirements for review. He looked up and down the two of us with a cautious look.

Then he asked me: ‘Girl. how old are you? ’

‘18 years old. Since I have not yet reached the age of marriage, I looked a little trembling when answering this question.

My abnormality was immediately noticed by the staff, and he calmly said, ‘I can’t see it. ’

‘I’m really 18 years old. ’I bite the bullet and continued to argue.

Who knows the staff said coldly: ‘I said it’s not like it’s not like it. ’

When you see that the situation is not right, you hurriedly said: ‘Can you register with us first, and then we will send you the documents proving your age? ’

‘Not meeting the legal age for marriage and cannot be registered. After finishing talking, the staff of the official business office threw the certificates of the two of us over.

'let's go. ’You can’t apply for a marriage certificate here, so I cleaned up the documents on the table. I took my hand and ran out of the marriage registry. After going out, you comforted me and said, ‘we’re not registering here. Then we will go to the next marriage registry, and someone will do it for us. ’"

When I say this. Oshanin couldn't help but interjected and asked: "Then we successfully registered the marriage at the second marriage registry?"

"My dear, don't worry, listen to me slowly." Although Oshanin is anxious to know the final outcome, I still follow my own rhythm and speak unhurriedly: "You are at the marriage registry The performance here made me see your stubborn energy. You held my hand tightly and rushed to another marriage registry. Walking on the street, we bumped into pedestrians from time to time, causing each other's eyes. .Although you kept saying sorry to pedestrians, you never let go of my hand.

When we rushed to the other registration office, we happened to ran into a pair of newcomers who had just registered at the door and walked out surrounded by relatives and friends. The festive atmosphere infected you, and you immediately took it as a good sign. You let go of my hand, carefully arranged your military uniform, and then happily said to me: ‘‘the opportunity is here. ’

We stepped lightly and walked into the registration office with solemn expressions. As soon as you see the staff sitting behind the desk, you say straightforwardly: ‘Hello, comrade staff. We want to register for marriage. ’

‘Are you pre-registered? The staff member looked up at us, then asked blankly.

You shook your head and said, ‘No. ’

Hearing you said that there is no appointment, the staff said indifferently: ‘I’m sorry, we’re off work. After speaking, he stood up and walked out with a notebook in between. "

"Ah, we got to the second marriage registry, but still failed to register?" It is reasonable to say that Lida and Oshanin’s most exciting experience should resonate with Oshanin, but he still has no response at this moment. It's just a pity that I hit a wall in the second marriage registry.

"Yes, not only did the second one fail, but the third marriage registry was still unsuccessful." I said with a smile: "Looking at the time getting late, I think the chances of successful registration are getting more and more. When I was planning to give up, I found a new marriage registry again.

This time you changed your strategy, let me stay outside, and let you go in and talk to the staff first. I waited outside for almost ten minutes before you came out and called me again, saying that things were basically successful.

I only found out after I went in. It turned out that you have been chatting with the staff about your military dog ​​Sasha, which aroused his great interest and developed a good impression of you. It is precisely because of this that you think things are all right, so you come out and ask me to go in.

Although the staff refused our request again because of my insufficient age. But he still kindly persuaded us to go to the commander of the city defense, saying that as long as he speaks out, he can apply for a marriage certificate for us.

We followed the persuasion of the staff and went to the city defense headquarters to find the commander to find a solution. Unexpectedly, the commander said nothing, so he immediately called the marriage registry and asked the other party to help us get a marriage certificate. In the evening, I was still in the headquarters and helped us hold a grand wedding. "

Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered the staff member who helped us with the registration procedures, and later became my subordinate, so I said to Oshanin: "Yes, that staff member I met again later , He stayed in the independent division I commanded and participated in the defense of Stalingrad...."

Before I finished speaking, the phone on the bedside rang suddenly. Listening to the sudden ringing of the bell, I couldn't help frowning, saying that the director of this guest house was really troublesome, and asked him not to disturb me, but couldn't listen at all. If you don’t want to answer this phone, it just keeps ringing again and again, and Oshanin keeps looking back at the phone, and then looking back at me, asking me whether to answer the phone with an inquiring look. .

In this case, I definitely can't ignore this harassing call, so I just walked over to pick up the microphone, put it in my ear and asked: "Hey~www.NovelMTL.com~ I am Oshanina, where are you? "

The director’s pleasing voice came from the microphone: "Comrade General, it's me."

"I heard it," I heard the call from the director, and I asked angrily: "Is there anything wrong?"

"That's it, Comrade General." Although the director heard the displeasure in my tone, he continued to say: "I'm sorry to disturb you and the captain's renewal, but now I have taken a long distance from Moscow to find you. , Do you need me to pick it up for you?"

Hearing that it was a long distance from Moscow, I knew there must be something important, and immediately said with a serious face: "Thank you, Comrade Director, please connect the phone."

"Okay, Comrade General, please wait."

After a while, Zhukov's familiar voice came from the earpiece: "Hey, Lida, this is Zhukov."

"Hello, Comrade Marshal." Although Zhukov is thousands of miles away, I habitually straightened my body and asked politely: "Do you have any instructions if you call so late?" (To be continued .)
