Shao Zheng blinked and realized that he seemed to have been standing there for a long time. Not only did he feel cold all over, but even dusk had fallen.
"I'm not thinking about anything." He moved his frozen legs and feet, followed Lao Chen's steps and prepared to go into the house.
"Are you really okay?" Chen Wuwen asked worriedly after noticing that something was wrong with his brother.
Before he could figure out how to start the conversation, after a few seconds of silence, Shao Zheng shook his head and said with a smile, "I'll tell you when I figure it out."
Hearing this, Chen Wuwen stared at the man for a while, but couldn't see anything wrong, so he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he pointed at the heavy bag in his hand and said, "Mutton? The quartermaster is quite generous this time."
Shao Zheng smiled: "It took a lot of talking, but he also knew that my sister-in-law had given birth to a child."
The implication is that even though you were nagged, you still gave what you should give.
Chen Wuwen also laughed: "No wonder."
"Brother, why are you here so late today?" Hearing the noise, Chen Nongmo, who was holding a gourd ladle to scoop out wheat bran, poked his head out from the kitchen.
Shao Zheng first carried a bag of meat into the kitchen, washed his hands, and then took off his military coat while asking, "What are you doing?"
"As for chicken feed, Sister Ping asked the villagers in the village to exchange a few old hens. Our family and Sister Guifen's family each got three. Qiuhua's mother said that frozen chicken affects the taste, so she went to a chicken farmer to exchange some wheat bran for them and brought them back to raise them." The families in Shanshun Village also raised a lot of chickens and ducks, so Chen Nongmo didn't seem unfamiliar with these.
However, after Shao Zheng hung up the clothes, he still reached out to the little girl: "Let me do it."
"Can you do it?" Chen Nongmo didn't force it and handed the gourd ladle out very straightforwardly. However, he didn't leave. Instead, he squatted beside and watched.
Shao Zheng chuckled: "When I was a new soldier, I raised pigs before, so raising chickens shouldn't be that difficult."
This is really down-to-earth, especially coming from such a handsome man.?
Chen Nongmo's divergent thoughts paused for a moment, and he blinked, recalling the cold touch of their hands just now. He couldn't help but look at the man's slightly red hand, and raised his hand to touch it, "You little bitch, restrain yourself." Chen Wuwen, who came to the kitchen to get the thermos to wash diapers, exploded again when he saw his sister's behavior.
But it was his sister who started the fight first. Even though he had a bad temper, he was too embarrassed to confront his brother, so he could only glare at him secretly.
Chen Nongmo was speechless: "I suspected that Brother Shao Zheng's hands were cold, so I wanted to test the temperature. Brother, please don't be so surprised."
Hearing this, Chen Wu thought of Lao Shao's stiff look at the door just now, and the anger in his heart immediately dissipated.
Normally, they were just joking when they were arguing with each other. If something really happened to his brother, he would still be worried.
Maybe my sister can find out the reason.
Thinking of this, he didn't say anything else. He just snorted at his sister and left with the hot water.
Chen Nongmo blinked, always feeling that his elder brother was weird.
But she didn't think much about it, and turned back to look at the person: "Where have you been? Why are your hands so cold?"
Shao Zheng pointed to the sack beside him and said, "Go to the kitchen to get the mutton."
"No gloves?"
".Slipping with gloves on."
Chen Nongmo looked at the man's hands, which were obviously red from the cold, and reluctantly stood up to get a basin of warm water: "Come here."
Shao Zheng patted the bran on his hands and walked over.
"Put your hands in there and soak them."
The man obediently soaked his frozen hands in the water. The warmth slowly seeped into the deep of his frozen skin, making him reluctant to leave. He sighed and joked, "I thought you would keep me warm."
Chen Nongmo slapped him and said, "How long will you keep covering your hands? Your hands are almost frozen. Remember to wear gloves next time. If you slip, can't you come back and ride your bike to get it from the kitchen? Are you stupid?"
Listening to the little girl's chatter, Shao Zheng felt relaxed all over.
He tilted his head and lowered his eyes, staring at the person intently, and his mind couldn't help but recall Lao Hu's suggestion that he get engaged first.
Naturally he was very willing to get engaged.
But she needed to think carefully about how to talk to her little girl.
But maybe you can ask for advice from people who have experienced this first.
= "In one night, you stared at me no less than 20 times. Tell me, what do you want to do?" After dinner, when Lao Shao left, Chen Wuwen followed him out.
Shao Zheng pointed outside: "Take a few steps."
Although it was strange, Chen Wuwen still cooperated and walked a few steps forward: "Tell me, what's so difficult?"
"elder brother"
"Stop! Be normal." Chen Wuwen rubbed his arms and shouted coldly.
Shao Zheng readily agreed: "Old Chen, I have something to ask you."
"What's up?"
"How did you bring up the matter of marriage with your sister-in-law?"
"." Hearing this, Chen Wuwen stared at the man for a long time. After making sure that he had heard correctly, he directly stretched out his hand to hook the man's neck and pressed him to the ground, saying angrily: "You kid, are you asking me? You are informing me!"
Shao Zheng laughed and pulled at Lao Chen's iron-like hands while explaining with difficulty: "Weren't you angry before that I was the last to tell you about Yu Yu's relationship? I was the first one to tell you about this, and I didn't even tell you about the relationship."
And a girlfriend. This guy is definitely adding fuel to the fire. Chen Wuwen became even angrier. He increased the strength of his arms and shouted angrily, "Do I have to thank you, you bastard, for looking up to me? I'll strangle you to death."
"Ahem. Bro. Ahem. Let go, or I'll call my boyfriend."
"Hey, you want to threaten me? Go ahead and see if I'm scared." Although he spoke like a hero, his hands relaxed a little: "What do you think? Yu Yu is only 19 years old, and you want to get married? You beast!"
The more he talked, the angrier he became, so he loosened his grip a little, then tightened it a little.
“Ahem.”
The two grown men, who were almost 60 years old in total, fought and scratched each other childishly. In the end, they kicked each other's legs twice and finally let go after a lot of trouble.
Chen Wuwen wiped his face and took a few deep breaths: "Tell me, what do you think? Do you really want to get married? Let me make it clear first, I don't agree."
Shao Zheng also exhaled a breath of foul air, and smiled as he repeated what Political Commissar Hu had reminded him of: "Of course, I must admit that I want to get engaged, not for any other reason, but just to have a formal relationship with Yu Yu."
"This is indeed a difficult matter." Chen Wuwen frowned. He had previously thought that his sister was still young and getting married was a distant thing.
But what Political Commissar Hu said was right. If you don't get married for a few years, just a love report will indeed cause hidden dangers. "Brother, how did you bring up the matter of marriage with your sister-in-law? I want to be more formal."
Chen Wuwen came back to his senses, raised his eyelids and looked him up and down, and said coldly after a while: "Don't call me brother, and get out!"
After saying this, he didn't want to talk to anyone anymore, so he turned around and strode back into the house.
Shao Zheng stood there, turned his neck which was in pain, and couldn't stop laughing.
All right! He admitted that he did it on purpose.
He deliberately asked for advice to confess his desire to get engaged.
He thought that after dealing with the most difficult brother-in-law, he would carefully prepare a way to start the conversation that a little girl would like.
Of course, although Shao Zheng is confident in the relationship between the two and thinks Yu Yu should agree to the engagement, he will still base it on her wishes.
Whenever Shao Zheng thought of the scene of Yu Yu happily coming towards him for a hug, the smile on his face couldn't be wiped away.
By the way, his little girl loves beauty and likes delicious food, so maybe he can prepare in this direction. Also, he needs to prepare some exquisite jewelry. Although she cannot be worn now, she still needs to prepare what she needs.
This is his attitude Just as Shao Zheng was imagining the scene of his girlfriend agreeing to get engaged to him in the environment he had carefully prepared, he heard Lao Chen's loud voice:
"Sixth sister, that beast Lao Shao wants to get engaged to you!"
Shao Zheng's legs, which had just taken a few steps forward, suddenly froze in place, and his upturned mouth suddenly straightened.
Revenge came too quickly. This shout, like a sharp sword, burst all the pink bubbles in his mind.
He looked back at his brother's house in disbelief.
He wants to get engaged, he wants to be legitimate with his girlfriend.
But. No! Need! That bastard say! !
Shao Zheng, who was furious, turned around and rushed back. He wanted to beat him to death! = "Want to get engaged?"
It is impossible to beat someone up.
When he returned to Chen's house again, Shao Zheng was met with the inquiring eyes of his little girl and the curious questions of his mother-in-law.
The bastard who ruined his good deeds had already hidden in the bedroom.
Shao, the handsome man, was so depressed that he couldn't get out or get out. He had to bite the bullet and answer his mother-in-law: "I think Yuyu is still young, so there is no rush to get married. We can get engaged first."
After receiving a positive answer, Cao Qiuhua did not rush to express his opinion, but looked at his daughter and said, "You two can talk about it yourself."
Having said that, she went straight to the kitchen.
The daughter-in-law now eats small meals frequently, so she has to prepare the food for the night and keep it warm in the pot.
After Qiuhua's mother entered the kitchen, Chen Nongmo led her to his room.
This was not the first time Shao Zheng entered his girlfriend's bedroom. When he first came in, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Chen Nongmo took out a stool from under the table and placed it beside the bed, and called everyone: "Sit down and talk."
Shao Zheng felt a little relieved. It would be fine if there was a stool. He couldn't stand the stimulation of sitting on his partner's bed. He didn't know how many times he had washed his underwear early in the morning recently.
If this continues, I will soon be left with no underwear to wear.
"Why did you think of getting engaged?" Chen Nongmo took off his slippers, sat cross-legged on the bed and asked curiously.
This time, Shao Zheng did not mention Lao Hu's suggestion. Instead, he held the girl's hand in his palm and confessed his true desire: ". There is no reason, I just want to get engaged to you."
Chen Nongmo didn't believe it.
If it was just a simple engagement, my eldest brother would only hinder us.
But she is not opposed to getting engaged.
She is very satisfied with Brother Shao Zheng, and she knows that even the best relationship needs to be managed with care.
On weekdays, I care about him as much as he cares about me.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong in following her ideas on marriage and his on engagement. Worried that the eagerness and uneasiness in his eyes could not be perfectly concealed and would affect his partner's judgment, Shao Zheng lowered his eyes and focused on playing with her fingers after he finished speaking.
He had always been fascinated by the little girl's fingertips, which seemed to be boneless and very soft.
But at this moment, the existence that he once loved so much could not calm his mind.
Anxiety, uneasiness, and the suppressed excitement deep in his heart all mixed together, making him uneasy.
The level of complexity is almost the same as the first time going to the battlefield.
So, Yu Yu will agree?
Or would he refuse? If he refused, he couldn't show too much disappointment and burden her. "Okay, when are you going to get engaged?"
The light and ethereal voice brought back Shao Zheng who was constantly preparing himself mentally. He looked up blankly, and it took him a while to react to what she said, as his little friend with curved eyebrows and eyes realized.
".real?"
"real!"
"Don't think about it anymore?" Shao Zheng, who had finally regained some rationality from his ecstasy, asked against his will.
Chen Nongmo: "Pfft, I'm worried that if I don't answer you, my hands will be soaked."
Shao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and when he lowered his eyes to look at the two people's clasped hands, he understood the meaning of her words.
It turned out that during the waiting process, no matter how relaxed he looked, the sweat on his palms still betrayed his true emotions. However, Yu Yu agreed! At this time, if he was still a gentleman, he would be a fool.
So the 27-year-old man took a deep breath, smiled triumphantly, opened his arms to his girlfriend, and said coquettishly: "Come here quickly, your fiancé needs a hug right now."
Chen Nongmo was amused again, and put his arms around the man's neck, allowing him to hold him and sit on his lap = J City.
Military compound.
Gao Qing pointed at her eldest son whom she hadn't seen for three years and was furious: "You are 29, and will be 30 soon. What's wrong with going on a blind date? Who are you trying to show off your deadpan face to? The second son knows how to date, so why can't you fight for your own interests?"
Shao Yue had a stern temperament and sharp eyes. He was not too emotional about his mother's anger. He just picked up the teacup beside him and handed it over, saying in a deep voice, "It's not hot anymore. Have a sip first and take a rest."
This was not sarcasm. Gao Qing knew very well that this was the boss's personality, but she still felt choked.
Just as he was about to say a few more angry words, the phone suddenly rang.
She nodded at her son with a look that said "you've been waiting for me" before she reached out and picked up the phone: "Hello? You and Yuyu are getting engaged? Really? Oh hahaha, good, good, finally something goes well. When is it? On the day of Jingzhe? Does the calendar say it's a good time to get married? That's good, that's good. Where's my daughter-in-law? Oh, that's urgent, wait until tonight, when you are free, bring Yuyu and call mom."
The person on the other end of the phone was obviously the second brother. I heard that he had found a partner and now it seemed that they were getting engaged.
Thinking that his younger brother, who had always been fond of playing with cats and dogs since childhood, had found someone he liked, Shao Yue's eyes couldn't help but soften.
Gao Qing, who caught the look in her son's eyes, felt a lump in her throat. Thinking of the way his character had changed since he was 17, she regretted her aggressiveness just now.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she said to Shao Zheng on the other end of the phone: "Second brother, wait a minute, I want to talk to your eldest brother."
Shao Zheng had no idea that his elder brother was on vacation. He was stunned for a moment before he said happily, "Brother is back?"
"Yes, wait a minute." Gao Qing turned to look at her eldest son and asked with a smile, "You still have half a month of vacation, right?"
Shao Yue: “Yes.”
"That's perfect. Your younger brother is getting engaged next Wednesday. Please help me deliver the jewelry I saved for the second brother's wife. And by the way, attend their engagement party on behalf of me and your father."
As she spoke, Gao Qing's expression became more serious, as if she was afraid her son would refuse. "Engagement is a big deal. Your father and I can't leave, but it's not good for the man not to attend."
Shao Yue, who hadn't seen his brother for six or seven years, had no intention of refusing and simply said, "Okay."
