There is some reason for Ying Zhiming to worry. A girl in her prime, less than twenty years old, is so beautiful, and she is a female soldier that everyone admires. What man wouldn't want to fight for it? If there is any soldier in the army,

The cadres took a fancy to him.

Wouldn't it be possible for the daughter-in-law who has been favored since childhood? Or Lanhua has performed very well in the army, what if she is promoted to work? He knows this girl too well, and she has been high-spirited since she was a child. I'm afraid she will climb a high tree by then.

But I no longer have the responsibility to be her father-in-law.

Because Ying Zhiming knows that everything will change as the environment changes, and people will gradually become more arrogant as their identity and status change. Because of this, he is very worried that Fu Lanhua will be no exception one day. He

I didn't dare to hesitate any longer. On the one hand, I hurriedly wrote a letter to my son Ying Xiang. I told Ying Xiang about Lanhua becoming a soldier and asked him to write to Lanhua quickly. On the other hand, I discussed with my wife and went to talk to Fu Liguo and his wife first.

Talk, this matter must be finalized before Lanhua leaves as a soldier.

So, he and his wife came to see Fu Liguo and his wife. As soon as they walked in, they saw Fu Liguo and his neighbors talking. The house was filled with smoke, and a pungent smell of smoke made him cough twice and hurriedly left to the outhouse.

Fu Liguo hurriedly greeted him and said, "Old Ying, please come in and sit down."

Ying Zhiming covered his nose and said: "Good guys, how many cigarettes have you smoked? The smoke in the back room is too choking, I'll stay in the outer room."

The neighbors knew about the relationship between his two families, and saw that Ying Zhiming said nothing and did not enter the house. Most people could tell that they must have something to say, so they all left knowingly. Ying Zhiming's wife's name was Yu

Juxiang, it seems that she is not a local

, spoke in an angry voice, looked very thin, and was not in good health. There were many people in this room, and how could she bear the smoky atmosphere? So she was welcomed into another room by Lanhua's mother Lu Chunji. Women always have

Women's topics to talk about.

At this time, Fu Liguo shouted: "Everyone has left, come in quickly."

Ying Zhiming lifted the door curtain and said, "Let's run away and smoke. This guy is too choking."

"People are coming and going all day long, how about smoking less? It's not like you don't smoke, but you're still afraid of choking?" Fu Liguo smiled and asked, "How about it? You're here, why don't we come over now?

Two cups?”

Ying Zhiming also smiled and said: "Forget it, when it comes to drinking, is it you who doesn't know me? Or I don't know you? The two of us drank quite a bit together, but in the end we didn't drink much.

I ate all the food and didn’t drink it.”

The two are both old comrades in arms, and they have to wait for food and drink. The two families are never polite. Since you don't drink wine, you should drink tea, right? Fu Liguo shouted into another room: "Lanhua! Come over and make tea for your Uncle Ming."

!”

As soon as the shouting ended, I heard Lanhua respond: "Well, here we come!"

However, Ying Zhiming said impatiently to Fu Liguo: "Come on, I can drink tea and pour water. Why are you yelling?"

Lan Hua came in and said with a smile: "Uncle, what kind of tea do you want to drink today? I'll make it for you."

"Haha, haha, it seems that your dad has quite a lot of tea varieties saved by this old guy. If you don't drink anything else, just have a pot of jasmine tea. That thing can get rid of the fire." Ying Zhiming's face changed when he saw Lan Hua coming in.

This is how you look like smiling.

Fu Liguo said: "Yes, yes, I've seen it a long time ago. Your uncle Ming seems to be very angry as soon as he comes in. You should let him go."

Fu Lanhua asked: "What's so big?"

"Don't listen to your dad's nonsense."

"Uncle, my dad still has two barrels of Longjing here. You can take one away later."

Fu Liguo said to his daughter: "Oh, girl, why do you always turn your elbows outward? I managed to get two buckets of good tea, so you said half of it to me first."

Fu Lanhua brought the teapot and teacup over with a smile, and while pouring the tea, she said: "What's yours? Give it to my uncle even if you don't give it to anyone."

"Look at this girl, my uncle's pain was not in vain." Ying Zhiming suddenly smiled from ear to ear and said to Lanhua: "Your dad, huh, is just a stingy man."

"Uncle, that's not stingy, that's stingy."

"Yes, yes, my girl is so right, hahaha..."

Fu Liguo cursed and said: "Damn, it's true that a girl is not good at staying in college. Before she did anything, she already knew how to harm her father by singing along with outsiders. Go ahead, go ahead, we don't need you here."

Ying Zhiming laughed loudly and said, "Your dad is impatient again. Go ahead and do your work. We can just do it by ourselves."

Fu Lanhua also smiled and said, "Okay, uncle, let's talk. I'm going to that room. Call me if you need anything."

Fu Lanhua chuckled and turned away. Fu Liguo and Ying Zhiming were left, sitting cross-legged on the kang, drinking tea and chatting. Ying Zhiming asked: "Are you really ready to let Lanhua go into the army?"

?”

Fu Liguo said: "The child is leaving. Wang Zhonghe's troops came to our county to recruit troops. I thought this was an opportunity, so I wrote a letter to Wang Zhonghe."

"How's it going? Did you pass?"

"After visual inspection, I estimate that this thing can be done, and I'm pretty sure it will work." Fu Liguo explained: "Two days ago, the army recruiter and comrades from the county's armed forces came to the house to have a look, and talked with Lanhua again.

He also told me that the head of the army called and if all the indicators are met, he will try his best to meet the requirements of the old comrades. Do you think this matter can be avoided?"

"People in the court have to be officials. Nowadays, everything is done through the back door, even soldiers..."

"Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense. I can go through the formal channels. Didn't Wang Zhonghe say that? All the indicators must be met before you can be drafted into the army."

"Come on, who are you kidding? If you don't meet the standards, that's just what the person in charge of recruiting for the army said." Ying Zhiming sighed and said, "Lanhua has been smart since he was a child. He was at the top of the class when he went to school.

The army can't do anything wrong, and with Wang Zhonghe taking care of me, I will probably be promoted soon, and I will definitely stay in the army and never come back."

"Hey, why are you so angry about this? Are you not happy about Lanhua's promotion? Really."

"It's not that I'm unhappy, I'm just worried that our original agreement will be ruined."

"What's our agreement?"

"Hehehe, you have a bad memory, but forgetfulness is not a bad thing."

"You're so clueless, what's going on? Am I forgetful?"

Ying Zhiming took a sip of tea, paused and then said: "It's really hard for me to say this, so okay, since you have forced me to do this, then I will say it? Don't be impatient. You forgot

We have already agreed that when we have children, we will be our in-laws. After all these years, because Orchid is small, I have been unwilling to mention this matter. Think about it carefully, is there such a thing? "

"Oh, um."

"Haha, do you remember?"

"No, I forgot about it. Is there such a thing?"

Ying Zhiming thought that he would understand the matter as soon as he reminded Fu Liguo, but he didn't expect that Fu Liguo wouldn't admit it. Now he was anxious, he curled his lips and scolded Fu Liguo, and he put the cup on her and put the tea cup on the table.

Yiwan said: "Well, you old guy, you are a narcissus that does not bloom - you are pretending to be garlic. You are

Don't you want to default on your debt? No wonder you haven't mentioned it in vain all these years. Even though your children are so old, you still pretend to be deaf and dumb. If I hadn't heard that Lanhua was going to join the army, and if I hadn't come to ask you, what would you do?

Do you have to keep pretending? Tell me, you have to give me an explanation today."

Although Fu Liguo has quite a temper, he is always so calm in front of Ying Zhiming, an old comrade who has been friends with him for many years. Ying Zhiming himself also has a hot temper, and Fu Liguo is one of his introducers to join the party.

There was never a time when the two of them chatted together without joking or arguing. No matter who they were in front of, they never refrained from talking. Even in front of their children, you were an "old thing", and he was an "old guy" in return.

It makes the juniors feel embarrassed.

Besides, on weekdays, the two families never distinguish between you and me. They always help each other. No matter which family is involved in big or small matters, the two of them are like brothers at critical moments. For example, when Fu Liguo is unlucky, Ying Zhiming runs up to him.

I'm so grateful for your help.

If it weren't for Ying Zhiming who came forward, I'm afraid Fu Liguo wouldn't have been able to keep his party membership, and he would still be complaining about injustice. If it weren't for Ying Zhiming who contacted the Communist Party of China, how could Fu Liguo have the glory he has today, and his daughter Lanhua would not have gone to school or become a soldier so smoothly.

Needless to say, Fu Liguo certainly knows this, but how could he forget about the marriage issues of his children mentioned by Ying Zhiming? According to the customs of local rural people, the man does not speak. How can a woman have the nerve to mention this matter? That is not possible

Do you want to send your daughter to someone else? This is easy to talk about but not nice to hear!

So Fu Liguo deliberately pretended to be deaf and dumb, and Ying Zhiming didn't mention it until today. He did feel it was a bit sudden at first, but now he is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. No matter how anxious Ying Zhiming is, he still pretends to be dumb.

As if nothing was wrong, he squinted his eyes and slowly savored the aroma of the tea one sip after another.

Ying Zhiming was anxious about his children's marriage, and Fu Liguo wanted to ask for an explanation, a result, and a conclusion. After he finished talking, Fu Liguo returned to his normal state. He pointed at the teacup slowly and said: "Well

, this tea has just started to taste a little bit now, hmm, this jasmine is fragrant and delicious."

"Hey, you old guy, what kind of nonsense are you trying to do to me?" Ying Zhiming was really anxious now. He yelled: "Hey, do what we said originally count? You can just say it.

ah!"

He yelled loudly, and the two sisters who were resting in the opposite room heard it. Fu Lanhua said, "Mom, go see what the quarrel is with my uncle."

Lu Chunji said: "Don't pay attention to them. They are like two donkeys that bite when they get together, just like chickens and hawks quarreling."

"What did my mother say?" Fu Lanhua stood up and said, "Auntie, listen, they're quarreling again. Let's go over and have a look."

When Yu Juxiang heard this, she smiled and said to Lanhua: "Your mother is right. What kind of argument are they trying to make? We can't get in the way even if we go. We ladies can talk about us, so don't worry about them."

At this moment, I heard Ying Zhiming shout again: "Hey! I said, you all come here, we must talk about this matter carefully today!"

As soon as the three mothers heard this, they came over quickly. When Lu Chunji saw that the atmosphere between the two of them was indeed different from usual, he asked, "Why are you fighting again?"

"Why? Ask him!" Ying Zhiming twisted his face and lowered his head to Fu Liguo, who was drinking tea with his chin.

"Okay, okay, if he doesn't tell me, I will." But Fu Liguo didn't say anything, and Ying Zhiguo said anxiously: "Lanhua is here, sister-in-law, I'm here just for Xiangzi and Lanhua's marriage.

Can you confirm it?"
