"Aze, why did you come here suddenly?"
Meng Yuqing was surprised and happy about her son's arrival, and she looked him up and down.
Wen Shize had a smile on his face: "I'm on a mission, passing by here, and came to see you."
Wen Wangqiu asked quickly, "Are the military trucks parked at the brigade headquarters this afternoon yours?"
Wen Shize nodded slightly.
"No wonder. How about this mission? Is it dangerous?"
Wen Wangqiu sighed in his heart: "This person really can't stand being talked about.
As soon as he started talking, people came to him... Could it be that his mouth was blessed?"
Thinking of this, the smile on Wen Wangqiu's face grew wider.
Looking at the crazy appearance of his father, Wen Shize was speechless.
He simply recounted what happened on the road, which made Meng Yuqing shudder with fear.
However, seeing her son's calm expression, she only gave him a few words of advice, asking him to be careful, and said nothing else.
From the moment Wen Shize joined the army, no matter how worried or unwilling Meng Yuqing and the others were, they would not say any more in front of their son.
Because they know very well that their son loves the army and loves this profession.
If they talk too much, it will only add unnecessary burden to the children.
Every time Wen Shize went on a mission, the old couple were terrified and begged for help.
I was afraid that I would never see my living son again, and that he would be nothing but ashes in the blink of an eye.
Wen Shize also realized that this topic was a bit heavy, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "I came here this time because I have good news to tell you."
"Hmm? What's the good news? A letter from your sister?"
Wen Shize's voice sounded a little anxious. For some reason, his daughter had not written to them in recent times.
Wen Shize sighed: "It's not about my sister, it's about me."
Wen Wangqiu curled his lips: "What can happen to you? Can you conjure up a daughter-in-law for me out of nowhere..."
He stopped talking for a moment, walked around his son twice, and said incredulously: "He didn't really find a wife, did he?"
Meng Yuqing also had anticipation in his eyes, and the face of the girl he met this afternoon involuntarily appeared in his mind.
Her heart was pounding, and she was no less excited than Wen Wangqiu.
Her intuition told her that it must be related to that girl.
Wen Shize nodded gently: "Yes, I have a girlfriend.
I was planning to tell you next time I come, and I will also file a marriage report at that time.
I didn't expect to end up here by accident, so I thought I'd let you know in advance."
Wen Wangqiu looked at his son's smug look and couldn't help but sarcastically said, "What do you mean? You've got a wife and you've forgotten your parents, right?
What is that girl like? You should at least bring her here for us to see before we can file a marriage report...”
His voice gradually weakened, as if he remembered his current identity, and sat down on the big bed next to him in a somewhat decadent manner.
Seeing his parents’ sad faces, Wen Shize felt bad.
Meng Yuqing wiped the corners of his eyes and said gently, "As long as you like it, your father and I will not stop you.
It’s just that our current status may not be of much help to your small family.
If you have children in the future, you will have to take care of them on your own.
It will be hard on you and your wife then."
"Mom, look at what you said, what are you talking about?"
Wen Shize's throat was dry and his heart felt as if it was being stabbed by thousands of needles.
Suddenly thinking of something, he said quickly: "Recently, I see that many people are ready to make a move.
I feel like there will be big moves coming, but I don’t know whether they’ll be good or bad.
You and father must take good care of yourselves. We must at least protect ourselves from this flood."
Wen Wangqiu sighed: "Alas, I don't know when it will end."
The family of three chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Meng Yuqing sent her son back.
Walking in the cold, Wen Shize just walked through the village and was about to head towards the brigade headquarters.
Suddenly he heard a voice and turned his head quickly. Ningxia was standing there with a kerosene lamp, waving at him with a smile.
Wen Shize was a little surprised and walked quickly to her side: "Why did you run out so late at night?
Why aren't you wearing a hat?"
As he spoke, he took off his hat and put it on Ningxia's head.
Ningxia's heart was filled with sweet joy. She smiled with her eyebrows curved: "After dinner, I slept for a while, and then I couldn't sleep, so I thought of going out for a walk."
Wen Shize disagreed and said, "Every household is asleep now, it's pitch black outside, it's not safe for you to go out alone.
What's more, this place is close to the mountains, and something might come running down. We must never take risks like this again in the future."
Ningxia stuck out her tongue and whispered, "I originally wanted to go find you, but I was so scared along the way that I couldn't sleep. I didn't expect you..."
Ningxia's voice gradually disappeared, and Wen Shize also understood the meaning of her words.
After thinking it over again and again, he pulled Ningxia and walked quickly towards the grove not far away.
Ningxia was a little confused.
When they were alone, Wen Shize said in a gentle voice, "There are some things I don't know whether I should tell you.
But I think that since we are dating with the intention of getting married, I shouldn’t hide my situation from you.
My parents were sent down during this flood, and this is an indelible fact.
I don’t know if the leader has told you about this.”
Ningxia frowned slightly: "I like you as a person, not your family."
Wen Shize looked at the dark forest and slowly exhaled: "My parents were sent to this village.
The reason you didn’t find me just now is because I went to visit them.”
Ningxia's eyes suddenly widened, staring at the man in front of her in amazement.
"you........."
In the past, she only thought that those who were sent down were all sent to the farm, but she didn't expect that they were also sent to the major villages.
Ningxia suddenly realized: No wonder that woman said those words in the afternoon, she probably didn't want to implicate herself.
She reached out and held Wen Shize's arm, and took the initiative to speak, breaking the frozen atmosphere between the two of them: "Then why don't you take me to meet them?
Is it possible that an ugly daughter-in-law like me cannot meet my parents-in-law?"
Her careless and careless words made Wen Shize blush: "You, you...I..."
Looking at Captain Wen, who was usually calm and composed but now acted like a young boy, Ningxia laughed out loud.
