Seeing that there were only two of us left in the room, Oshanin looked restrained, especially when his gaze swept over the row of medals on my chest, and he suddenly showed embarrassment, his expression was a little flustered, and Huo Di stood up. Seeing his helpless appearance, I became more and more steady, and I knew in my heart that tonight's solitude, except for talking, it is estimated that there will be no more stories.

In order to ease Oshanen's nervousness, I raised my hand and pressed down, and said to him with a smile: "Don't stand, sit down, we are 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, hoping that my telling can help you regain your lost memories. ”

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

When I was about to tell Oshanin the story of him and Li Da, I suddenly realized that there was so much to tell that I couldn't really explain in a few words. couldn't help muttering to himself: "How to say, my experience with you is almost enough to write a book, where should I start?" ”

"Leda," said Oshanen, suddenly in a nervous voice that had changed his tone, "please start from the time we met, maybe such a coherent account will make me think about what to start with." ”

"Alright then, I'll start with how we met." To recall the love story of Lida and Oshanen, I spoke slowly: "It was before the war, and the school organized a party for us ninth-graders and border guards. My classmates and I sat in the audience and watched the border guards demonstrate how to train military dogs. See a military dog leap high at your command and pounce. I screamed out in fright when I was closest to you and scared of dogs. You heard my bark and immediately reined in the military dog. Looking at me in the audience. And an apologetic smile in return.

That same evening. We had a gala dance party with the border guards at the club. The clubs are brightly lit and people dance to the sound of a light waltz. I couldn't dance, so I sat alone on a bench and watched everyone dance. I unintentionally turned around and saw that you were also sitting on a bench, and it seemed that you couldn't dance, and with a red face, I turned down the girl who invited you to dance again and again. And the faithful military dog follows you all the time, honestly lying at your feet.

You also saw me spying on you. He smiled at me. At that time, my face 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 before you could say goodbye to the girls, the military dog got up from the ground and quietly walked to my side......"

As I had just said this, I was interrupted by a sudden knock at the door. I stood up and walked to the door. I opened the door and didn't wait to see the people outside. He said dissatisfiedly, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

"Comrade General," a woman's voice sounded outside, "I have come to bring you refreshments on the orders of the director." ”

When I heard that it was for us to bring refreshments, I was embarrassed to get angry at others, so I had to step aside, spread my hands inside, and said, "Please come in." ”

With my permission, the waitress standing outside the door walked in with a large plate, a middle-aged woman with short ear-length hair, and when she went to the table, she laid out cups, teapots, saucers with sugar cubes, plates with white bread, sliced sausages, and canned stewed pork on the table in front of Oshanin.

I looked at the things on the table, especially the can with English written on it, and I was very curious, and I asked the waitress: "Comrade waiter, I want to ask, where did this canned pork come from?" ”

"Where else can you come from, Comrade General." The waitress smiled and replied, "Of course, it was the help of the American allies, and although we have a lot of canned food in the guest house, the director usually only uses it to entertain important guests." At this point, she was silent for a moment, and then asked cautiously, "Comrade General, you are not a Muslim, are you?" ”

"No, I'm not." I knew why she was asking, so I immediately denied it, and then tactfully gave her an eviction order: "Okay, comrade waiter, there is nothing for you here, you can go." ”

The waitress must have been told by the director, and when she heard me say this, she didn't talk nonsense, and walked out directly with a large plate. Before leaving the door, she turned her head and pointed to a telephone next to her bed and said to me: "Comrade General, if you have any orders, you can call the officer on duty, the number is three zeros." ”

"I see, comrade waiter, thank you for bringing us refreshments." With that, I closed the door.

I walked back to the table and said to Oshanin, who was sitting there, "Honey, I think you've been hungry after so long for dinner, so eat something." We ate and talked ......"

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

After waiting for the tea to be full, Oshanin took a sip from the teacup, then looked at me and said, "Lida, please go on, I want to try the next story, whether it will help me awaken my memory." ”

I nodded and sat down, and when I wanted to continue, I forgot where I had spoken, so I asked Oshanen, "Honey, what did I just say?" ”

"Speaking of which, when I rejected the invitation of another female classmate in a misunderstanding, the military dog sneaked up to you." Seeing that I couldn't remember where the story was just about, Oshanin immediately gave me a hint.

"Well, I remember, that's exactly what I said." His reminder immediately made me coherent in my mind, so I continued: "I have been afraid of dogs since I was a child, and when I saw a military dog walking up to me, I desperately shrank back. I was scared, but I didn't want to scream because it would be too humiliating. The dogs kept wagging their tails and heads at me to show friendship, which only scared me even more. Fortunately, you detected the behavior of the military dog in time, you whistled, and the general was summoned back to him.

Then you got up and walked over and said to me apologetically, 'I'm sorry, I think my military dog scared you.' I apologize for the inconvenience. You're leaving. But just a step has passed. You stopped and said to me, 'It's Sasha, it looks like you, you can try touching its head if you want.' ’

Under your encouraging gaze, I tried to reach out, but before I could touch Sasha's head, I shrank back in fright. However, with your repeated encouragement, I finally touched Sasha's hairy head. It meekly pressed its head against the palm of my hand. There was innocent joy in the round eyes.

After introducing ourselves, we went on the dance floor to dance. When you clumsily stand on the dance floor with my waist around you, you realize that you can't dance with each other. We walk around like everyone else, but we can't figure out how to keep each other's feet in line. We clumsily walked around the dance floor, drawing laughing glances. ”

When I said this, the embarrassed appearance of Leda and Oshanin came to mind, and a smile couldn't help but appear on my face. And Oshanin didn't know why I was laughing, and he laughed a few times.

Then I told the details of the relationship between Lida and Oshanen, and I parched my mouth and looked at the empty teacup in front of me. I just wanted to pour myself a cup of tea with a teapot. Unexpectedly, Oshanin had already stood up and picked up the teapot on the table first. I poured tea into my teacup.

After I habitually thanked him, I took a few sips from my teacup, and waited until I felt no longer uncomfortable before continuing to tell the story of the marriage between Lida and Oshanen: "...... After getting off the tram that day, we went straight to the marriage registry. Although we were the first to register, the staff who could handle the procedures did not relax the requirements for the audit. He looked us both up and down with a cautious gaze.

Then he said to me, 'Girl, how old are you?' ’

'18 years old. Since I had not yet reached the age of marriage, I was a little nervous when I answered this question.

My anomaly was immediately noticed by the staff, who said without moving, 'I don't see it. ’

'Really 18 years old. I stubbornly continued to quibble.

Who knew that the staff said coldly: 'If I say not like it, it is not like. ’

When you see that something is wrong, you quickly ask, 'Can you register us first, and then we will send you the documents proving your age?' ’

'Not under the legal age of marriage and cannot be registered. After the official staff finished speaking, they threw the two of us papers.

'Let's go. You saw that you couldn't get a marriage certificate here, so you packed up the papers on the table, took me by the hand and ran out of the marriage registry office. When you went out, you comforted me and said, 'If we don't register here, then we'll go to the next marriage registry office, and someone will definitely do it for us.' ’”

When I said this, Oshanin couldn't help but interject and ask, "Then we successfully registered our marriage at the second marriage registry?" ”

"Honey, don't be in a hurry, listen to me slowly." Although Oshanin was anxious to know the final outcome, I still went on at my own pace, unhurriedly: "Your performance in the marriage registry has shown me your stubbornness. You held me by the hand and hurried to another marriage registry. Walking down the street, we bumped into pedestrians from time to time, provoking each other's eyes. Although you kept saying sorry to passers-by, you never let go of my hand.

When we arrived at another registration office, we happened to meet a couple at the door who had just finished registering, and walked out of the door surrounded by relatives and friends. The festive atmosphere infects you, and you immediately take this as a good sign. You let go of my hand, carefully straightened your uniform, and then said to me happily: ''Your opportunity has come. ’

We walked into the registration office with a solemn look. As soon as you see the staff sitting behind your desk, you get straight to the point and say, 'Hello, comrade staff. We want to register our marriage. ’

'Pre-registered?' The staff looked up at us and asked with a blank face.

You shake your head and say, 'No. ’

Hearing you say that you didn't have an appointment, the staff said with a cold expression: 'I'm sorry, we're off work.' With that, he stood up and walked out with his notebook in his hand. ”

"Ah, we got to the second marriage registry and still couldn't get registered?" It stands to reason that the most wonderful experience between Leda and Oshanin should resonate with Oshanen, but he still has no reaction at the moment, just regretting that he ran into a wall in the second marriage registry.

"Yes, not only did the second one fail, but the third marriage registry office still didn't succeed." I smiled and said, "Seeing that the time is getting later and later, I think the chances of being able to register are getting smaller and smaller, and when I was about to give up, I found a new marriage registry again."

This time you changed your strategy and asked me to stay outside while you went in first and talked to the staff first. I waited outside for about ten minutes before you came out and called me again, saying that it was basically a success.

After I went in, I found out that you had been talking to the staff about your military dog, Sasha, which aroused his great interest and developed a crush on you. That's why you think things are all right, and you come out and call me in.

Although the staff refused our request again because I was not old enough. But he still good-natured persuaded us to go to the commander of the city defense, saying that as long as he came forward to speak, he could give us a marriage certificate.

We listened to the persuasion of the staff and went to the city defense headquarters to find the commander to find a way. Unexpectedly, the commander didn't say a word, so he immediately called the marriage registry office and asked the other party to help us apply for a marriage certificate. In the evening, he was in the headquarters and helped us hold a grand wedding. ”

At this point, I suddenly remembered the clerk who helped us with the registration formalities, and later became my subordinate, so I said to Oshanin: "By the way, that staff member I met again later, and he stayed in the independent division I commanded and participated in the defense of Stalingrad. ……”

Before I could finish my sentence, the phone rang at the bedside. Listening to the sudden ringing of the bell, I couldn't help frowning, and said in my heart that the director of this guest house was really troublesome, and told him not to disturb me, but I didn't listen to it at all. I didn't want to answer the phone, but it kept ringing over and over again, and Oshanin kept looking back at the phone, and then looked back at me, and asked me if I answered the phone with an inquiring look.

In this case, I definitely couldn't ignore this harassing call, so I walked over and picked up the microphone, put it to my ear and asked, "Hey, I'm Oshanina, where are you?" ”

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

"I heard that," I asked angrily when I heard the call from the director, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"That's right, Comrade General." Although the director heard the unhappiness in my tone, he continued: "I'm sorry to disturb you and the captain's old time, but now that I've made a long trip from Moscow to find you, do you need me to pick you up?" ”

When I heard that it was a long trip from Moscow, I knew that there must be something important, and immediately said, "Thank you, Comrade Director, please take the call." ”

"Okay, Comrade General, please wait."

A moment later, Zhukov's familiar voice came through the earpiece: "Hey, Leda, I'm Zhukov. ”

"Hello, Comrade Marshal." Although Zhukov was thousands of miles away, I habitually straightened up and asked politely: "You called so late, do you have any instructions?" (To be continued.) )
