Chen Demao was also happy and moved to sit next to his wife.
The external sound of the phone was a bit loud, but this distance was enough for him to hear his daughter's voice.
When Chen Demao heard Yu Yu asking if his father was there, he immediately smiled and replied, "Dad is here."
As he said this, he stretched out his hand and wanted to take the phone from his wife.
Ji Mo also missed her daughter, so she slapped her husband's hand away, turned sideways, and continued chatting with her daughter on the other end of the phone.
Chen Demao said dissatisfiedly: "My daughter misses me."
Ji Mo pretended not to hear and talked to her daughter about their recent situation. Then she asked about Bian Jiuxiang's pregnancy: "Your father's former comrades-in-arms are in G Province. The angelica and astragalus they have are good stuff. Oh, and there is also wild codonopsis from S Province, which is of good vintage. It has been sent to the old unit. It should be almost time. Women are weak during confinement, and Yue Gui gave birth to twins, so she must have suffered. These can be used to regulate your body. Ask the doctor to prescribe the right medicine before taking them. It would be best if they don't work. I just hope she is all the best."
After listening carefully to his mother's instructions, Chen Nongmo smiled and said, "Don't worry, my sister-in-law is a doctor herself, she won't eat anything carelessly. I will also convey what you said to her."
After discussing this topic, Ji Mo expressed her concern about Qiu Hua and her friends' living conditions in the army: "You should spend more time with your mother Qiu Hua and stop playing by yourself, okay?"
This was said in an obscure way, at least Chen Demao didn't understand it, but Chen Nongmo understood it.
Knowing that her mother was worried that she would only focus on dating and forget to accompany Qiuhua's mother, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How is that possible? Even if I wanted to, Brother Shao Zheng doesn't have time. He is very busy every day."
Shao Zheng, who was accompanying her, didn't say anything, but just pinched the little girl's jade-like fingertips.
Knowing that he was expressing his apology, Chen Nongmo hooked his fingers and shook them, then gave him a bright smile.
Chen Demao on the other end of the phone frowned, feeling that something was not right about what he had just said.
But before I could express my doubts, I heard the girl on the other end of the phone say that she wanted to talk to my dad about her relationship.
The bad premonition came true and Chen Demao's face darkened, but he did not rush to express his opinion. Instead, he continued to listen to the mother and daughter's conversation with an unhappy expression.
At the same time, I also understood from my wife's reaction that she knew about this matter before.
By the way, my daughter just said that the boy seemed to be called Shao Zheng? Isn’t that Wu Wen’s brother? He was also the grandson of General Shao who helped me a few years ago.
Thinking of this, Chen Demao's face turned even darker, and he felt uncomfortable with a feeling of depression in his heart that he couldn't get rid of.
"Hey, my daughter wants to talk to you." I was just thinking about it when my wife handed me the phone: "Don't take it out on your daughter, okay?"
Chen Demao naturally wouldn't take his temper out on his child. After glaring at his wife who had kept it a secret from him, he spoke as usual: "Yuyu, I heard you talking to your mother. Are you dating? Oh! You've reported your relationship to me. Tell dad how you met."
Based on Chen Demao's understanding of the eldest brother, he would definitely not introduce a partner to his younger sister, at least not at Yu Yu's age.
Sure enough, listening to the sweet and cheerful voice of his daughter on the other end of the phone, Chen Demao's heart was boiling with anger, but there was no bad emotion in her tone, which was gentle and loving throughout.
It was not until he heard his daughter complain that the boss had beaten Shao Zheng so badly that his body was covered with bruises that Commander Chen felt that the depression that had been choking him had dissipated a little.
I was thinking about giving the boss a call tomorrow.
You must highly praise him for doing the right thing and clearly express your strong support.
Isn't it just to see that he can't reach or scratch it? Naive! Chen Zong and the boss are not vegetarians.
He has no shortage of punches.
Thinking of this, Chen Demao made up for his son: "Your elder brother also cares about you."
Chen Nongmo hummed, somewhat dissatisfied: "I know, never mind, let's not talk about this, Dad, do you want to talk to Brother Shao Zheng on the phone?"
Chen Demao's voice was still gentle, but the corners of his mouth pulled down: "There's no rush. We don't know each other. Let's talk about it when we meet in the future."
Chen Nongmo was not surprised by her father's refusal, and she did not force it. She smiled and chatted with her father for a few words, then let her mother answer the phone.
Ms. Ji Mo did take the initiative to suggest chatting with her future son-in-law, but not for long. She just said a few polite words and then hung up.
After hanging up the phone, she turned around and looked at her gloomy husband, poking him in dissatisfaction: "You were so happy when you were chatting with your daughter just now, why are you so sullen now?"
Chen Demao sneered: "Am I the kind of person who would quarrel with my daughter for outsiders? Do you think I'm stupid? If I objected when the little girl was obviously getting angry, wouldn't it make them more united?"
Ji Mo: ".So you didn't answer Shao Zheng's call just now because you thought he might not be your future son-in-law?"
Chen Demao snorted again, with a rather sarcastic tone: "It is what it is, isn't it just a relationship? It doesn't necessarily mean it will really happen! Why would I answer a call from an outsider?"
Look at this stubborn guy. Ji Mo doesn't know what to say. If he really doesn't care, why is he trying to suppress his anger by making up stories?
Although she had all kinds of complaints in her heart, after all, they had been married for many years, so Ji Mo didn't try to sabotage the old man at this time, otherwise the old man would really get angry.
"Why is the tea so bitter today?" Chen Demao frowned and muttered after drinking another cup of tea.
"You are feeling miserable, right?"
Ignoring his wife's sarcasm, he asked as if he remembered something, "By the way, how old is Shao Zheng?"
Ji Mo suppressed her laughter: "27 years old."
Because he was mentally prepared, Chen Demao did not react much when he heard the specific age. He just picked up the cup silently and drank another cup of tea.
"Are you planning to eat water?"
Chen Demao still didn't want to pay attention to his wife. He used his actions to protest against her for dating without telling their daughter. He drank another glass of water and suddenly stood up and went out.
Ji Mo stood up and asked in confusion: "Where are you going? It's time for dinner!"
Chen Demao paused and turned around to say, "Comrade Lao Ji, go get some more snacks. I'll call Lao Cheng over for a drink. I wrongly blamed him."
As he said this, he put his hands behind his back and walked out with desolate steps.
Ji Mo = Here, the two people who hung up the phone walked home.
The days are short in winter, and it is already dark outside before seven o'clock.
Fortunately, this piece of sky and earth was covered with thick snow, so it was very bright.
The two walked side by side, stepping on the squeaking snow, heading towards the family area.
On the way, Chen Nongmo buried his face in his scarf and laughed about his father's intention of not answering the phone: "My dad is passively resisting. He must think that dating doesn't mean you will get married."
Shao Zheng didn't like what he heard, and said bluntly: "We will definitely get married."
In his opinion, dating is with the goal of getting married, especially when the other party is a girl he likes so much, how could there be a chance of something going wrong?
Although he felt it was too early to talk about marriage now, Chen Nongmo did not refute his partner at this time and make him unhappy. Instead, he changed the subject with sweet words.
Shao Zheng saw Yu Yu's intention and happily cooperated: "The day after tomorrow I'll take a day off and take you out to play?"
"Is there anything fun here?"
"There is a BZ Park here, where there is an ice lantern fair and other beautiful scenery. In fact, the Lantern Festival is the busiest time. There are not only ice lanterns and ice sculptures, but also people dancing and stilt walking. It is very lively. However, there was an activity in the army that day, so I couldn't leave."
He originally wanted to try asking for leave in advance for the Lantern Festival next year, but then he remembered that the girl could only stay in the army for three or four months, and she might not be sure where she would be during the Lantern Festival next year, so he didn't ask.
In the past, Chen Nongmo had only seen dreamy, exquisite, and beautiful ice sculptures in videos. This was his first time seeing one in real life, and he immediately became excited: "Okay, I want to go. Can I ask Qiuhua's mother and Zong's father to come with me?"
Although Shanshun Village is also covered with ice and snow, it is a remote place after all. Ice lanterns are common, and there are also yangko stilts, but there are no beautiful ice sculptures worthy of admiration.
Shao Zheng agreed immediately: "Okay, but then we can only take the army's procurement vehicle to the town to exchange for a minibus."
Chen Nongmo knew that given his partner's personality, he would definitely agree, but at this moment he was still grateful for his attitude.
She is really making things difficult for others by bringing her future father-in-law and mother-in-law along on a date.
But Mr. Zong will have to go back to Shanshun Village in a few days, and she wants to take him and Mother Qiuhua out for a look.
Not only now, but also in the 1980s, when the environment improves, I want to take them to travel around the country.
Qiuhua’s mother once said that she should be curious about the outside world. Although she only said it once, Chen Nongmo always kept it in his heart.
Thinking of this, the girl, who was already in a good mood, became even happier. Just as she was about to say a few coquettish words to others, her head was pulled in another direction by a force.
She was at a loss: "What? What happened?"
As he spoke, his curiosity grew and Chen Nongmo quietly wanted to turn his head.
Unexpectedly, Shao Zheng wouldn't let her. Outside, as long as they were in military uniform, they always kept their distance. The man who rarely did any intimate actions simply put his arm around her shoulders and quickened his pace.
Chen Nongmo: "What happened?" The more she was forbidden to watch, the more curious she became.
The two had already reached the family compound. Shao Zheng let them go and coughed a few times uncomfortably: "Nothing."
Shao Zheng had no choice but to bend down, raise his hand and gently brush away the frost on the girl's long eyelashes, and whispered: "Someone is kissing over there on the propaganda wall... cough cough"
At the end, there was annoyance in his words. He thought about the meeting tomorrow and wanted to kiss inside. This is the army! It's not solemn to do it outside.
Chen Nongmo didn't expect this to happen. He was about to say that the man was old-fashioned when he realized that it was the early 1970s and it was indeed embarrassing at first glance.
However, she was more curious about: "It's so cold, kissing outside, aren't you afraid of getting cold?"
Shao Zheng Shao Zheng, who was shocked by the little girl again, was silent for a moment, then laughed softly: "You... have no shame!"
= Time flies by quickly.
Shao Zheng's day off came in a blink of an eye.
That day, just after daybreak, several people boarded the earliest bus of the kitchen team and set off.
The weather was nice today. Not only was it not snowing, but the temperature was also moderate.
In Qiuhua's mother's words, when the sun comes out, the temperature will probably not be lower than minus ten degrees Celsius.
It is indeed a good temperature, which makes people look forward to traveling even more.
The car swayed into the town. It was just before six o'clock and there were still forty minutes before the minibus departed, leaving plenty of time for everyone to have breakfast.
The blackboard in front of the state-owned hotel shows today's breakfast type.
Soy milk, fried dough sticks and tofu pudding.
Even though he had lived in the north for several years and had gotten used to the portion sizes of meals here, Chen Nongmo was still shocked when he saw the tofu pudding served in a large bowl. People these days don't believe in wasting food.
But the bowl in front of her seemed not much smaller than a basin to her, and there was an extra-large fried dough stick on it. "Eat first, and give it to me if you can't finish it." Shao Zheng said, noticing the girl's hesitation.
Let others eat what you have left: "How about I ask the waiter for an empty bowl and share it with you first?"
Hearing this, Shao Zheng glanced at the little object's red lips and smiled meaningfully: "No, I don't mind."
Chen Nongmo. Very good. As long as he doesn’t wear a military uniform, he is not an old-fashioned person anymore.
= BZ Park is a very famous tourist attraction in the surrounding area.
Not only because of the four-meter-high ice sculptures that appeared in the early 1960s, but also because it is the main venue for the ice lantern fair every year. When the weather is good, many people come here to play.
The four of them swayed in the minibus for more than an hour. When they arrived at their destination, the sun was just rising, and the sun was staggering down, dyeing the white sky with orange and red.
It can't be compared with the colorful ice sculptures in later videos, but at this moment, it is also stunningly beautiful.
Chen Nongmo, who was a little carsick, instantly recovered and pulled Qiuhua's mother and Zong's father to stand in front of each ice sculpture to take pictures.
No matter whether it is an ice sculpture of a person, an ice sculpture of an elephant, an ice sculpture of a house or an ice sculpture of a car, as long as it is a beautiful scenic spot, she wants to keep a souvenir.
Cao Qiuhua was dragged by his daughter to take pictures for half an hour, and the film was changed twice. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he waved his hand and sent them away: "You and Xiao Shao can go around by yourselves. I will go separately from your father Zong."
Xiao Shao took care of the three of them with good temper and patience throughout the whole process.
But soldiers have few vacations, and it's not easy to take a trip out, so she can't be so tactless.
Chen Nongmo glanced at Brother Shao Zheng, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "Then we will still gather here in two hours?"
"Okay, go ahead."
"If we can't find it, don't run around. Ask the staff to help you shout with a loud speaker, okay?"
Cao Qiuhua didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Hurry up and leave. Your father and I are not old people. How can we get lost?"
The hair on his temples has turned white. = "Where do you want to go?"
Along the way, in addition to ice sculptures and various ice lanterns, there are many other interesting places.
Some were sledding, some were skating, some were playing ice hockey. Of course, the little girl was willing to slide down the slide with those other kids, and Shao Zheng thought that was fine too.
After hearing his partner's suggestion, Chen Nongmo waved his hands repeatedly: "No need to slide down the slide, thank you so much."
Shao Zheng was amused by the girl's avoidance, and raised his hand to touch her red nose: "Where do you want to go?"
When Chen Nongmo felt the cold touch on his nose, he realized that the man had not been wearing gloves in order to take the photo.
Looking again, sure enough, the pair of beautiful big hands had turned red.
Although it was not very serious, it made her feel guilty. She pursed her lips and pulled the person to a place where they could avoid people.
"What's wrong?" Shao Zheng didn't understand what was going on, but he still cooperated and followed.
Chen Nongmo did not explain, but took off his gloves and rubbed the man's big hands in his own.
The size of their hands was too big, and she couldn't hold him at all.
Chen Nongmo could only rub and breathe on it, trying to warm him up quickly, muttering: "Didn't I tell you to wear gloves after taking the photo? You're almost frozen, aren't you stupid? If you get frostbite, not only will it itch, but it will come back every year."
He never expected the little girl to do this. When she blew on his hands, Shao Zheng felt the blood in his body boiling.
Even though she knew, she just couldn't bear to leave herself.
Even though it was clear, she was just trying to keep herself warm.
But at this moment, Shao Zheng still felt that he was being cherished by a girl who was eight years younger than him.
This realization made him even more excited.
For a moment, emotions such as excitement, joy, and embarrassment all flooded my heart because of the other person's small action.
He was so shocked that he gradually couldn't hear her muttering. He slowly leaned down and moved closer to the red lips that kept saying sweet words to her.
"Did you hear me?" Chen Nongmo, who had been waiting for the man's reply for a long time, looked up, but was suddenly kissed before she could finish her words. She was completely stunned and looked at the man in disbelief with her eyes wide open.
This time, Shao Zheng just kissed her lightly and then stepped back.
"We are outside!!" The little girl came to her senses and opened her eyes wide, reminding in a low voice.
"It's okay, I'm not wearing a military uniform."
Chen Nongmo choked and his eyes subconsciously moved to the man's clothes. Just as he was about to say something else, the kiss came again.
This time, it was passionate, fierce and lingering. I don't know how long it took, but when Chen Nongmo was held in Shao Zheng's arms and adjusted his rapid breathing along his back, his lips became numb again.
She secretly raised her hand and pressed her lips. How should I put it? The object was usually very restrained, but when he became enthusiastic, it was as if he wanted to make up for all the debts of the past few days.
Feeling the little girl moving in his arms, Shao Zheng bent down and kissed her slightly cold cheek, then asked with satisfaction: "What's wrong?"
Chen Nongmo pursed her numb lips, wanting to complain that he kissed her too long and too fiercely, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them. In the end, she hugged the man's waist and buried her face in his arms, saying vaguely: "It turns out that kissing outside in this weather will not cause frostbite."
Shao Zheng, who was enjoying his little partner's coquetry, froze completely. = The trip to BZ Park was pleasant.
The four of them stayed there until 3:30 in the afternoon before they got on the return bus.
On the way, Chen Nongmo was chattering about various interesting attractions.
She went ice skating and was taught to play ice hockey by her boyfriend. Although she spent more time standing outside the field, watching Brother Shao Zheng and Father Zong team up to win the game handsomely, she also shamelessly squeezed together with a group of children to play on the slide, build snowmen, and mingled with a group of strangers, laughing and throwing snowballs without distinguishing friend from foe. In short, for Chen Nongmo, everything here is beautiful.
When it was so beautiful that I was thirsty, the ferocious expression of the person eating the frozen pear raw, which was recorded by the other person with a big laugh, also became precious.
She repeated several times: "Next time."
Every time, she got a gentle and doting response from the man: "Okay."
Every time at this time, Chen Nongmo would think that it would be nice to have a relationship.
She is happy and hopes that the people she cares about can also have a passionate and beautiful love.
But Chen Nongmo really didn't expect the surprise to come so soon.
At six o'clock in the evening, when there was only a hint of dawn in the sky, the few people who had been playing all day just returned home. As soon as they entered the door, they were shocked by Comrade Chen Wuwen's words:
"The third guy is dating someone, and knowing that you are all here, I thought of bringing someone over to meet you all."
