It had been more than a month since he came back from studying outside. Every day, besides reading books and newspapers, he practiced calligraphy with a veteran in the division headquarters. The veteran's surname is Xiao. He has been in the army for fifteen years and is the only calligrapher in this division. Whenever I have time, I will look for him to learn and discuss some calligraphy problems. He also liked me very much and was willing to teach me everything he knew about calligraphy. He always taught me step by step and even encouraged me to join the " China Hard-Pen Calligraphy Association ". He even recommended me to the association. In the end, I finally got the book of the Calligraphy Association. At that time, I was really glad to have such a good friend.
As time passed, my calligraphy also improved greatly. From time to time, I would publish some of my works in the calligraphy newspaper. Gradually, I became as close to that veteran surnamed Xiao as family. When he had good works, he would share them with me from time to time. When I had good works, I would ask him to correct me. Just when our relationship was at its best, I suddenly heard that he was going to retire. I didn't know what to say. After being in the army for so many years, he had to retire eventually. It was just that some people were late and some were early! But for veteran Xiao, I really couldn't bear for him to leave with me just like that. They had been together for so long. They were teachers, friends, and brothers. How could they part ways?
The night before he left, he came to my dormitory and gave me some of the calligraphy works he had accumulated over the years. There were a total of eight books. For a person who loved calligraphy, these works could be said to be his lifeblood. He told me about his love for me and a kind of sustenance. Looking at the books in front of me, my tears unknowingly flowed out. I held back my tears and squeezed out two words from my mouth," Thank you!”He seemed to have seen through my actions and said to me,"Little Bao, what are you doing? I know you feel bad, but as a soldier, you should shed blood and not tears. Besides, there will be opportunities to meet again in the future. There is no banquet in the world that never ends. You must study hard in the future. Your calligraphy foundation is not bad, and you will definitely have a very good future! Alright, let's stop here! You should rest early too!" I nodded to him and he left my dormitory with heavy footsteps.
That night, I went to bed very late. I read the books that he gave me one by one. From time to time, the solemn expression and the interesting things he taught me to practice calligraphy flashed in my mind. Although it was only a short memory, the corners of my eyes would still leave a trace. Gradually, I remembered that he was going to leave tomorrow. My heart felt as uncomfortable as a bottle of wine. That night, I didn't fall asleep until three o'clock.。。。。。
The next morning, I woke up very early. I quickly ran from my dormitory to his dormitory without washing my face because I was afraid that he would leave and I wouldn't be able to say goodbye to him. When he arrived at the dormitory, he was tidying up his clothes. He was wearing a dark green military uniform with no military rank on his shoulders and a pair of big black leather shoes. When he saw me, he smiled and said,"Why are you up so early? I didn't want to alarm everyone, but I didn't expect you to come! Sit for a while!" After saying that, he handed me a stool. After I sat down beside him, he said to me,"I'm leaving. In the future, if you have time, you can come to my house to play. When you have nothing to do, you can write to me or call me. If there are any new activities in the association, remember to inform me because I live in the countryside!”I didn't know what to say about our parting. I just looked at him quietly! Just as he was about to finish cleaning up, a car horn sounded downstairs. I knew that the division headquarters had sent someone to send his car here. He said,"I should go! You should go back too!" I said,"Class monitor, I'd better send you off!"”Then, before he could answer, she snatched his backpack from his hand and carried it downstairs. The car was parked downstairs. He said to me,"You should go back! You just have to remember what I told you the night before!”I nodded at him. The chauffeur placed his luggage in the trunk of the car and got into the car without looking back. When the car started moving forward, I solemnly saluted him. It was not until the car was out of my sight that I slowly put down my hand! Gone far, parted ways…。I stood there for a long time.。。。。。
That night, he called me and told me that he was home. He told me not to worry and that he would call me over to his house when he had time.。。。。。I don't know what to say, but I'll definitely visit you in the future. However, not long after he left, I was also preparing to retire. In the first two years of my retirement, I still called him at least three times a year, but later, the line was changed, and the phone number was also changed. From then on, we lost contact. Every time I thought of him, I would read the books he gave me. Even though the pages were yellowed, I still hadn't changed.。。。。。
