"What?" Liang Hongling froze in place, terrified.
"Brother, are you kidding me? Why don't you join the army? What will you do if you don't join the army? Will you still be an officer then?"
Liang Jinheng did not answer but asked: "Does whether I am an officer have anything to do with whether I am your elder brother?"
Liang Hongling was completely shocked by the news that Liang Jinheng would not go to the army after the New Year. She didn't care what Liang Jinheng was saying at the moment.
When she was at a loss, the only thing she could think of was looking for her parents.
right!
Go find my parents.
They are the elders, and as long as they speak up, they will definitely be able to make big brother Liang Jinheng change his mind and go to the army again!
If he doesn't join the army, won't the family lose dozens of dollars every month?
If she loses her money, it means that she has to find a job and work, and can no longer live the life she wants!
Liang Hongling was so scared that she ran to the main house with a pale face.
Liang Jinheng ignored it and went to his room with the bowl in his hand.
He originally wanted to announce the news when the family was having dinner together in the evening, sort out the matter in front of everyone, and then not mention it again.
But I didn’t expect to be told in advance now.
But it doesn’t matter, I’ll have to say it sooner or later anyway.
Pushing the door open, Liang Jinheng saw Wen Wan and her two children packing food.
When she saw Liang Jinheng come in, she just glanced at him and continued to work on her things.
The big porcelain basin was now filled to the brim, even the small wooden basin next to it was not left out.
Seeing that there was so much food in the house all of a sudden, Da Wa and Er Niu were very happy.
"Mom, can my sister and I still eat eggs tonight?" Big Brother asked Wen Wan.
There are so many eggs at home now that he can’t even count them, and even feels like he can’t finish them all if he eats them every day.
Wen Wan smiled and said, "Of course you can. You and your sister can eat an egg every day from now on!"
Erniu also squinted her eyes happily.
Liang Jinheng felt aggrieved at being ignored by the two children.
He came over and handed the prepared dough balls to Wen Wan: "Wan Wan, eat first, and clean up after you're done."
Wen Wan took a look at the noodles he handed over.
It was a big bowl, with three spoons added, and it was obvious that it was made for her and her two children.
She was stunned and subconsciously wanted to ask him if he didn't want to eat?
But saying this made it seem like she cared about him a lot.
So she swallowed the words again.
After taking the noodle dumpling soup prepared by Liang Jinheng, she just whispered thank you, and then called the two children to come and eat together. The two children were already hungry, so they obediently took their small stools and sat in front of Wen Wan. Each of them picked up a spoon and started eating.
However, while eating, Erniu couldn't help but glance at Liang Jinheng. She thought that her mother usually taught them to say thank you, but her brother was still angry with her father. If she said thank you in front of her brother, he would definitely be angry.
So she said in a very quiet voice, "Thank you, Dad."
The voice was so soft that even Wen Wan didn't hear it, but Liang Jinheng, who was standing next to her, heard it, and the old father's heart softened instantly.
I thought to myself that my daughter is really thoughtful.
Looking at the eldest son who was busy eating and didn't even look at him, Liang Jinheng had a heart attack.
I don’t know who he learned this bad temper from.
Anyway, he would never admit that the eldest son's bad temper was inherited from him.
The mother and her two children were eating in the house, and Liang Jinheng was watching them. Even though he didn't say anything, he still felt peaceful and satisfied.
However, this peace was soon broken.
Miao Chunhong flung open the door and called out anxiously, "Boss, I heard from Hongling that you're leaving the army? Is that true?"
Wen Wan and the two children were startled by the noise. Liang Jinheng frowned and comforted them: "You continue to eat while it's hot, I'll go and explain." Then he stood up and walked to the door.
Seeing Miao Chunhong's expression of unwillingness to believe this was true, Liang Jinheng calmed down and admitted, "It's true."
Miao Chunhong's face changed and her eyes turned red.
I feel so sad! All that money I spent will be gone!
She was so anxious that she almost jumped up.
"What's wrong? You were in the army for a long time, but suddenly you quit? Did you make a mistake in the army, and they don't want you anymore? How about your dad and I go to your superiors and plead with them to let you go? You've been a soldier for so many years, how can they kick you out?"
Liang Jinheng frowned and interrupted Miao Chunhong's fantastic idea.
"The army isn't a brigade headquarters, nor is it a commune. Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. You can't change the outcome just by saying something. Besides, it wasn't my fault for not going to the army. I was discharged due to injury."
Although he was used to Miao Chunhong putting the blame on him and asking him to admit his mistakes first whenever something happened, Liang Jinheng still felt uncomfortable, so his tone of voice became much colder.
Miao Chunhong was so frightened by what he said that her throat choked. She didn't dare to say anything else like "If the leader doesn't agree, I'll go to his house and make trouble."
But it is totally impossible to let her accept this fact!
The reason why their family has become one of the largest families in the production team is because of Liang Jinheng, who is an officer in the army.
With his status, not only does the whole family have face, but they also have enough money in their pockets.
We can't just let this matter go like this!
She suddenly remembered that a few years ago, a soldier from the neighboring brigade was also injured and retired, and it seemed that the army compensated him with a lot of things?
Liang Jinheng said that he retired due to injury, so doesn’t that mean he should be compensated?
Miao Chunhong's eyes lit up, a gleam of light flashed across her eyes, and she immediately put on a worried look.
"Boss, you said you were injured too. You weren't careful outside. Is it anything serious?"
Liang Jinheng glanced at her and said calmly, "It's okay."
Wen Wan, who was eating next to her, paused.
In fact, she was also a little curious about what happened to Liang Jinheng this time and what kind of injuries he suffered.
It seems that the book never mentioned it at all. It only said that he retired from the army because of injury.
However, judging from the situation in the second half of his life until he was 100 or 80 years old, it should not be a big problem.
Miao Chunhong obviously didn't really want to know the details of what happened from Liang Jinheng. She was more concerned about whether Liang Jinheng had received any compensation.
For example, if someone in their production team got injured while working due to collective matters, the cadres of the production team would make some compensation.
Liang Jinheng and his colleagues have such good benefits in their unit, so compensation is definitely necessary!
So she pretended to be worried and sighed.
"Hey, you're only in your twenties and you've already been injured and lost your job. What are you going to do in the future? The two children will be going to school in two years, and when they grow up, they'll need to buy things and spend money everywhere. Your father and I are old, and we don't have the ability to help even if we want to."
She was implicitly asking about Liang Jinheng's future prospects.
It's impossible for him to just stay at home and do farm work for the rest of his life.
Maybe the army gave him compensation, and he could live on it for the rest of his life.
Liang Jinheng had no intention of hiding the fact that he had been transferred to a new job, after all, he couldn't hide it.
So he explained: "The army has assigned me a job, and I will go to work after the New Year. You and Dad don't have to worry about my wife and children."
After getting his confirmation, Miao Chunhong was just about to happily ask him what kind of job he was assigned to, where he was doing it, and what he was doing. However, when she heard Liang Jinheng's last sentence, her heart suddenly skipped a beat and an ominous premonition came over her.
What does it mean?
Is the boss saying that he wants to take his wife and children with him to work?
This, this, this, this won’t work!
Miao Chunhong was so frightened that she immediately changed her words.
"Boss, what are you talking about? Your father and I may not have any other skills, but we can still help you take care of your wife and children!"
Liang Jinheng listened, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
Miao Chunhong thought he agreed, and became more and more excited as she spoke.
"Look at your wife and two children. Your father and I are taking good care of them. Nothing will happen to them! Besides, you work so hard, how can you have time to take care of the children? So when you go back to work, you should leave them at home. You just work hard and have a good rest after get off work. Your father and I will take care of everything at home. Don't worry."
Originally, Liang Jinheng didn't want to make the situation so awkward, but when he saw Miao Chunhong still lying with her eyes open, he couldn't help it.
He asked her expressionlessly, "Are you looking good? If Da Wa and Er Niu were to go out now, they would probably be no match for other three-year-old children! Is this what you call taking care of them?"
When he left home last year, Da Wa and Er Niu were almost like this now.
Because I was only three years old at the time, small and weak, I couldn't see much.
But after the New Year, when he turned four, a new setback occurred and the child began to change.
There was a child who was born almost the same age as Da Wa and Er Niu in the military family quarters. Liang Jinheng watched him change day by day.
It was precisely because he had seen the changes in the child from the age of three to four that he had imagined countless times in his mind what the eldest and second daughter would look like when they grew one year older.
Has he grown taller? His face has become rounder and he looks cuter and more obedient.
But when I got home, I saw that it had grown, but it was all growing vertically, and there was not much flesh on its body!
Wen Wan became even more haggard.
He vaguely remembered that at this time last year, Wen Wan was about the same thin as she is now, but even though she was a little thinner, she was in good spirits and could still tell him with a smile that everything was fine at home.
But when I came back this year, I found that Wenwan had lost all her energy and spirit.
Liang Jinheng couldn't put all the blame on his parents. After all, he himself was also largely responsible, but it was impossible for him to not care at all.
Especially when he thought of the pile of things he had just found from Miao Chunhong's cabinet, his face became even colder.
He has a tough attitude.
"Anyway, after the New Year, I will take Wen Wan and the two children with me when I go to work. You two elders just need to take care of yourselves at home."
Miao Chunhong felt guilty and angry after hearing what he said. She realized that Liang Jinheng must have known something.
He couldn't help but glare at Wen Wan with resentment.
It must be that damned Wen Wan who complained to Liang Jinheng!
Otherwise, Liang Jinheng would not have suddenly started to care about these things.
In the past years, she coaxed and threatened Wen Wan so that she didn't dare to complain to Liang Jinheng, which was how she was able to spend three or four years in peace.
What happened this year? Wen Wan must have known that Liang Jinheng would not go to the army again, so she became bolder and dared to tell everything out loud!
Miao Chunhong was worried, fearing that the eldest brother would become estranged from them because of this matter, so she quickly explained, "Elder brother, who told you that? Your father and I have never abused your wife and children! How could we do such a heartless thing!"
As he said this, he slapped his thigh and started crying.
"Oh my God, where did this gossip come from to make up such nonsense? We have lived a respectful life together, but in the end, we are branded as bullies of our wives and grandchildren. We will die with shame!"
Miao Chunhong's voice was so loud that even Old Man Liang in the main house heard it.
His face changed, he cursed the stupid old woman inwardly, then quickly stood up and rushed to Liang Jinheng's room.
