Chapter 205 Old Illness
Romantic luck?
He Zheng laughed first, "Wife, what are you thinking? How can someone like me have such good luck in love? Others always say that I am marrying above my station. You said that since I am marrying above my station, then I must be aware of it, otherwise what will I do if you don't want me anymore? Don't you agree?"
This wife is like a fairy. If He Zheng can marry her, he will have no regrets in his life.
"You have a good understanding."
Erhe was not worried either. She and He Zheng had feelings for each other. If she was sensible and knew that the other person was already married, she would of course not get close to him. This was the most basic morality.
The two of them talked without stopping what they were doing.
I boiled some water and cooked some porridge.
Anyway, there are steamed buns in Erhe's space, so I can take them out and eat them with porridge, and use meat floss as a side dish.
It’s simple, but after running around all day, I really don’t want to cook.
Unexpectedly, when they were halfway through their meal, Nie Ming came back.
He had a place to rest in the army. Not many people came back here, and he didn't expect to see someone at home when he returned. When he saw Erhe and He Zheng, Nie Ming was very happy.
"Why are you two back?"
"Dad, have you eaten?"
"We've eaten, please sit down."
Nie Ming also chatted with them. His two daughters were married, and he and Chen Yuqin were divorced. There was no one at home for a long time, and Nie Ming was increasingly reluctant to go home.
It's rare that my youngest daughter and son-in-law are here.
"How long do you plan to stay this time? He Feng didn't tell you guys were coming. Doesn't he know you're coming?"
He Zheng was now quite courageous in front of his serious father-in-law. "Why tell him that? My brother's head is full of achievements. I wonder if he has the ability to be a commander."
"How could you talk about your own brother like that?" Erhe felt that He Zheng's mouth was getting more and more talkative.
Nie Ming laughed out loud. "How do you know it's impossible? Your brother is only a few years old now. He will have plenty of opportunities in the future. But Xiao He, do you have any plans for coming to the provincial capital this time?"
"I'm going to the capital." He Zheng had nothing to hide from his father-in-law. "A friend of mine is sick, and I'm going to visit him."
"You have friends in Beijing?" Nie Ming was surprised.
He Zheng nodded, and thinking of the Third Master's illness, his heart was heavy. "I don't know his name, but we all call him Third Master."
Third Master?
Nie Ming was stunned. "You said the Third Master is sick?"
"Dad, do you know Third Master too?" Judging from Father Nie's reaction, he obviously knew him. Erhe was actually quite curious about the origin and identity of this Third Master. Perhaps Father Nie would know.
"You know him too?" Nie Ming asked back.
"Well, He Zheng knew him first, and I met him later. We had some interactions, but we didn't know his identity or background, and he never mentioned it."
"Dad, do you know what's going on with him?"
Nie Ming looked at the two children. He knew who this Third Master was, of course. He just didn't expect that his daughter and son-in-law actually knew him and had contact with him. As far as he knew, what Third Master was doing now...
"Since you know him, I'll reveal something. Third Master...his ancestor was the president of the Chamber of Commerce. During the war, he provided a lot of supplies to the soldiers. Unfortunately, he was retaliated against, and he's the only one left in his family. He's never been in good health, and this time it's probably a relapse of an old illness."
Some heavy topics.
Erhe and He Zheng remained silent at the same time.
Nie Ming is a man who has experienced war. Of course he knows the cruelty of war, but he also knows how great what the Third Master's family has done. He is also sighing at this moment.
"Xiao He, since you're going to see him, please write me a letter when you get there to let me know how he's doing."
"good."
I didn't expect it to be like this, Erhe felt a little depressed.
She thought that the Third Master had an extraordinary background, which did explain why he had the channels to ship goods, and why he was not afraid of others investigating on such a large scale. However, she did not expect that the Third Master was in poor health.
She used to think that the Third Master looked unwell.
Unfortunately, she is not good at medicine and does not have any magic pills.
"Don't worry, Third Master is definitely under the care of the best doctors in the country. We should trust the experts." Seeing the two men frowning, Nie Ming comforted them and changed the subject to ask Erhe, "Xiao He is going to the capital, what about you, Erhe? Are you going with him or staying in the provincial capital?"
The topic was changed. Nie Ming still didn't know that Erhe was going to take the college entrance examination. Erhe didn't intend to make a big fuss about it, but there was no need to hide it from Nie's father.
"I came here to review and plan to take the college entrance examination this year."
"really?!"
Nie Ming was obviously overjoyed. At that time, everyone's desire for knowledge was particularly strong. Nie Ming himself was not a writer, but that did not affect his admiration for intellectuals who were writers.
Especially when his youngest daughter wanted to take the exam, he was even more supportive.
"Okay, then you can study at home. I'll help you with the registration and review materials. I'll see if I can help you find some."
"Dad, Liang Wenwen and I have an appointment. She will give me the information. Don't worry about it. You were injured before, and there are a lot of things to do in the army. You should take good care of your injuries in your free time."
Nie Ming waved his hand, "As a father, I haven't done anything for you. Give me a chance to fulfill my responsibilities as a father."
When he said that, Erhe knew she couldn't refuse anymore.
"Thank you, Dad."
Nie Ming looked at his sensible little daughter, his eyes slightly moistened.
That night, the three of them sat together and talked a lot.
Nie Ming is not a very talkative person, but this time he took the initiative to say a lot.
It was almost ten o'clock when they went back to their rooms to rest.
"Wife, do you think Dad is too lonely?" He Zheng was also thinking that when he reaches Nie Ming's age, if he returns home after a busy day to find the house empty and there is no one to talk to, it makes him sad just thinking about it.
Subconsciously, I held Erhe's hand tightly.
Erhe also had this feeling. If Nie's father had not divorced Chen Yuqin, the two of them could still be companions.
now……
This house is a little quiet.
However, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention Chen Yuqin.
He Zheng knew that his wife was a generous person, and the only thing she could not forgive was Chen Yuqin's abandonment of him.
Then he must be on the same side as his wife.
What's more, Chen Yuqin has now placed Su Chuan under her account, and he is truly her son. This has completely eliminated the possibility of Chen Yuqin and Erhe resolving their grievances.
He Zheng would not even mention this person.
The two of them rested for a night, and the next day He Zheng set off for the provincial capital. Nie Ming asked his orderly to take He Zheng to the train station, and Erhe also followed the car to see him off.
"Be careful on your way. When you get there, find a way to call my dad's unit so we can rest assured. Also, don't go back south again and ask me to run to save you. I'm not available this time."
"Wife, don't worry. I promise to take care of myself this time. If another girl falls into the river, I will pretend I didn't see anything."
Erhe: "...This is not good."
"Wife, what about you? If a man falls into the river in front of you, what will you do?" What if her wife rescues the man and the other man also wants to marry her?
"I can't swim. Are you relieved now?"
He Zheng smiled. The station was bustling with people, and Nie Ming and the orderly were standing nearby. He couldn't be too impolite.
After enduring for a long time, he grabbed his wife's hand, put it to his mouth and kissed it quickly, then put it back.
"Then I'm leaving. Wait until I come back."
