The 80s Chronicle: Addiction To the Army’s Young Wife

At 7:30 in the evening, the New Year's Eve dinner was on the table, and the family instantly became more lively and festive.

The dishes were served one after another, and they were full of praise for the rich aroma of the food.

"I really like Ningning's cooking skills. The little girl has grown up. I don't know which brat will be cheaper in the future. You have to help her with her eyes. There is only such a girl in our family. In the future You can't let people bully you." Grandpa Jiang sat down at the dining table and said to Old Yao Uncle.

"We can only watch this kind of thing. If she really likes it, others probably won't be able to persuade her, but this child Ning Ning knows it well, and she will definitely live a better life in the future." Old Yao uncle was also happy .

Xie Zheng brought Xu Rui to the dining table, and listening to the two old men's conversation, he thought to himself, the brat you are talking about, grandpa, is him.

About Xu Ning and Xie Zheng, probably only Qin Xuejuan knew about it. Usually, the two children's confidentiality work is good, and there is no sign of it.

Xie Zheng will be graduating from university next year. On the one hand, Gao Xiulan is reluctant to part with Xu Ning, and on the other hand, she wants to urge the grandson to bring a girl back as soon as possible.

"Xiaozheng is going to join the army next year?" At the dinner table, the old Yao uncle poured Xie Zheng a glass of white wine, "One cup is enough."

Xie Zheng didn't refuse, and his alcohol capacity is still very good, "Well, continue to take the postgraduate entrance examination while working."

"Is it the same after Ning Ning graduated from university?" Grandpa Jiang asked Xu Ning.

"I want to study clinical medicine on the basis of pharmacy. If I have the opportunity, I would like to go to a foreign university to study. Naturally, Chinese medicine is the top in the world in China, but Western medicine still has to go abroad and work harder. How do you know specifically? It depends on my own efforts." Unscrew a bottle of fruit juice and pour it for myself and my brother, while the two grandma and mother are drinking rice wine.

Xie Zheng glanced at Xu Ning, then lowered his head and continued eating.

He still has to go abroad to study, when will he marry a wife? If there is no ten or eight years, I am afraid there is no hope, right?

Is this girl deliberately trying to abolish him?

But she likes to learn, and she has to get support from her own side, after all, it's not a bad thing.

I hope this girl can work harder and strive to finish her studies early, so that she can take her daughter-in-law home and have a baby.

Soon, several old people talked about their desire to travel next year. As a result, the four hit it off. After the first lunar month, they will go to Haicheng together, and if they feel that their physical strength is still good, they will go abroad to play together.

Of course, if they go abroad, the four of them who don’t know a foreign language will not be able to travel freely. Then we will see if there are any foreign language companions for company. There is an activity center for the elderly nearby. Although they don’t go there often, there are retired people there. Professors and other people from all walks of life can always find someone to be with.

At eight o'clock, the Spring Festival Gala started, and their dinner was just over halfway.

Seeing this, Xu Rui asked his sister to help him put some vegetables in the bowl, and then sat on the sofa and watched while eating, while the rest of the people sat around the dining table, eating and chatting as usual.

At 8:30, dinner was over, Xu Ning was about to pack the food, but grandma took it away.

"You've been busy all night, we just pack up for dinner and watch TV."

"It's okay, just ten minutes." Xu Ning still wanted to insist, but was coaxed away by grandma.

In the living room, everyone was sitting on the sofa and soft stools watching the TV and watching the Spring Festival Gala. The tea table was full of all kinds of tangerines and dried fruits. Xu Ning also went to the kitchen to make sugar water for her younger brother. Holding a teacup, drinking the tea leaves roasted by myself.

"Let's go out together at night." Xie Zheng said to Xu Ning.

"Where are you going?" It was very cold outside. Although the atmosphere of the New Year is very strong now, it still cannot resist the severe cold.

Xie Zheng pointed to a direction outside, and said with a smile, "Fireworks are going off in the Forbidden City Square tonight, don't you want to see it?"

"It's okay to go and have a look." Xu Ning nodded after thinking about it.

When Xu Rui heard this, he quickly raised his hand, "I'll go too."

"Your share is indispensable." Xu Ning hugged his younger brother and laughed together.

At eleven o'clock, Xu Ning led his younger brother back to his room and changed into thick clothes, then took him and Xie Zheng out together.

Although it was approaching midnight at this time, the entire imperial capital was brightly lit. Tonight, many people hung lanterns in front of their houses, and some of them hung colorful lights in fashion. Small light bulbs of various colors flashed like a revolving lantern, attracting many Rui praised again and again.

The streets and alleys were full of people, especially when they came to the main road, there were even more people gathered in twos and threes. These people almost all went in one direction, and the destination was the same as that of Xu Ning and his party.

Strolling from here, it takes half an hour to arrive at the Forbidden City Square, and the fireworks also start at midnight and continue until half o'clock. As for the New Year's Eve dinner, you can go back and eat it, but it will be a little later.

Tonight's temperature is very cold, even though there are so many people on the street, the wind howls past, and they still have to shiver along with it.

Arriving at the Forbidden City Square, a dense crowd has already gathered here, and it is less than five minutes before the fireworks are in full bloom.

Because the crowds are so dense today, the three of them didn't squeeze to the front, but watched from across the road, because the front was flat and there were no buildings blocking them, so there was no need to worry about not being able to see them later.

Xie Zheng stood behind Xu Rui, put one hand on the little guy's shoulder, and pulled Xu Ning with the other, because there are vegetation and bushes behind, and although there are street lights, no one can see the intimacy of this young couple unless they walk over look.

He still felt very cold before, but when Xie Zheng held his hand, Xu Ning suddenly broke into a sweat.

"Is Ruirui cold?" Xie Zheng lowered his head and asked.

Xu Rui shook his head, "Brother, can we see the fireworks here?"

"Yes!" Xie Zheng rubbed his head, "If you are short, you might not be able to see it. It's no problem here, and there are a lot of people in the square tonight. I can't find you anymore, safety is the most important thing."

"Okay." The little guy wasn't depressed either, as long as he could see it, it didn't matter before or after.

When the twelve o'clock bell struck, with the first sound, the square was boiling, and then a whole row of fireworks flew into the sky in an instant, and gradually dissipated when they reached a certain height.

Although the fireworks have been set off here every year, it does not prevent the public from watching it at all. Even if they saw it last year, it will still feel very fresh to watch it this year.

There seemed to be a family not far from Xu Ning. A little girl was held on her shoulders by her father, and she couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw the fireworks.

Then the fireworks flew up into the sky violently, and the entire sky was rendered dazzlingly dazzling during this period of time.

Xie Zheng didn't pay much attention to the fireworks. In his previous life, after he was thirty years old, he would gather with many leaders in the central auditorium to celebrate the New Year almost every year, and then he would stand with them on the tower of the Forbidden City to watch the fireworks at this time. With Chen Qianwen beside him, Xie Zheng could tell that Chen Qianwen who was standing next to him was very impatient with this kind of activity, and he didn't care about it anyway, anyway, the relationship between the two was just a formality, and they had no common language.

If Xu Ning was standing by her side in this life, would she be like this tonight after many years, staring at the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky, smiling and happy?

The handshake was changed to interlocking fingers, and the little girl turned her head to look at her, "Brother Zheng, there are fireworks in your eyes, very beautiful."

Xie Zheng's heart was soft, he bent down to her ear, and said hoarsely: "You have me in your eyes, very beautiful."

Xu Ning was very teased by this sentence, and although he stared at the fireworks on the square the whole time, he couldn't calm down.

At half past twelve, the fireworks ended, and the three of them turned and walked home.

Xu Rui didn't know what was going on between his brother and sister, so he let the two hold his hand, and he played on the swing between them mischievously.

Xie Zheng didn't continue teasing Xu Ning, he knew that the girl was shy facing him, if he continued teasing, he might burn himself to death.

Anyway, the future is long, he will spend his whole life with her, and he will spend his whole life teasing this little girl.

Back home, the elders hadn't cooked yet, and the two grandma who were standing chatting at the door of the kitchen saw them coming back and hurried in to order dumplings.

Xu Rui rushed into the house, threw himself into his father's arms, and happily talked about how beautiful the fireworks in the square are.

Touching his son's cold body, Xu Jianjun hugged him in his arms to keep him warm.

After eating the dumplings, Xu Rui yawned and went to bed.

"Ningning, go to bed early if you're sleepy. We're not in the village, and you children don't have to watch the night. I'll call you for dinner in the morning and go to bed."

Yu Chunhua cleaned up the dishes and ordered.

Xu Ning felt sleepy too, after greeting them, he yawned and went back to his room.

Xie Zheng can't follow the past, Xu Ning is going to sleep now, and his room is upstairs here, it's so bright that it doesn't look like the past.

Fortunately, I have already kissed once today, which relieved my hunger and thirst temporarily, and I will talk about it later when I find a chance.

During the Chinese New Year this year, Xu Ning has no place to go to pay New Year's greetings, and there was a heavy snowfall on the night of the second day of the new year, and the temperature dropped several degrees. .

But at home, there have been old men and old ladies coming to play since the third year of junior high school. They are all old friends met by grandparents outside, and some of them get along better in the elderly community.

Compared with the old lady, the old man is there every day, and they all come to play chess with grandpa. To Xu Ning's surprise, grandpa can play many kinds of chess.

Go and chess are very good, and chess, military flags, and checkers are also very good, and even backgammon is super good.

Grandpa's writing brushes and iron paintings are silver hooks, flamboyant and phoenix dancing, and he has super powerful Chinese medicine skills. If he is a few decades younger, maybe the girls who like him will line up from his own door to the Forbidden City.

Xie Zheng couldn't be free during the New Year. Many old men from military families in the imperial capital were his elders, and they would go there every year before the Lantern Festival.

But this year when Xie Zheng came to Chen's house, he met Chen Qianwen.

"Xie Zheng is here, come in and have a seat." Mr. Chen Chen Yuanqi kindly greeted Xie Zheng to enter the door, "This is my granddaughter Qianqian, Chen Qianwen, who has been studying abroad since high school, and usually comes back there for Christmas, and has not been at home for the New Year for several years Yes, I graduated last year to spend the Spring Festival at home."

"Happy New Year, Grandpa Chen." Xie Zheng entered the door and handed the gift to the helper, then sat down opposite Chen Yuanqi, nodded to Chen Qianwen, "Hi Qianwen."

Chen Yuanqi's status was the same as Xie Hongjia's at the beginning, but his skills were not as strong as Xie Hongjia's. It was only because Xie Hongjia had stayed abroad and was very knowledgeable. After driving the great powers out of China, he held a very important position in the central government. Unfortunately, Later, he did not survive the catastrophe.

Back then he had a good relationship with Xie Hongjia, but now he also treats Xie Zheng as his own grandson.

But no matter how he is his own grandson, Xie Zheng has no blood relationship with him after all, and now he has a sensible granddaughter beside him who is deeply loved by him, these two young people can get along well together.

Chen Qianwen greeted Xie Zheng, poured him a cup of tea, and sat beside Grandpa listening to their chat.

Before Xie Zheng came, Chen Qianwen had heard her grandfather talk about Xie Zheng, and she liked her endlessly, and even asked her opinion.

She is not stupid, Chen Qianwen knows the purpose behind what grandpa said.

But now that she saw Xie Zheng face to face, she had to say that he was indeed a very good man.

But it doesn't mean that she likes him just because he is excellent. If feelings are such a casual thing, there are too many excellent men in this world, and she simply can't like him.

Chen Qianwen has someone she likes in her heart, but the moment she falls in love with the other person, she is doomed not to be able to find happiness, and the other person will never be able to communicate with her no matter what.

Since they can't be together, she can't be single for the rest of her life, and it doesn't matter who she marries, but in her married life, she can't manage her husband and children at home. She has read books for so many years, isn't she To spend in daily necessities.

"I'm going to the army after graduation, how are your preparations going?" Chen Yuanqi looked at Xie Zheng, the elder's kindness in his eyes couldn't be suppressed at all, the caring eyes didn't take any calculations into it.

Now he is the only one left in the Xie family, and although Chen Yuanqi is retired now, his influence is not low at all, and there is nothing worthy of his calculations.

Back then on the battlefield, Xie Hongjia had saved his life, so as an elder who had a lifelong friendship with Grandpa Xie Zheng, he naturally hoped that Xie Zheng's future would be smooth.

As for wanting to bring him and his granddaughter together, there was nothing else on his mind, Xie Zheng was a very good kid, and such a grandson-in-law must be liked by all the old fellows of his generation.

Xie Zheng smiled and said, "It's still half a year before graduation. I already have a goal in my heart in terms of work, and I want to continue my postgraduate entrance examination while working."

"Okay, as long as you have your own ideas and goals, your father is also a person with goals since he was a child. He was raised by his grandfather. He has been very smart since he was a child. It is always easier to do things than others, and he gets twice the result with half the effort. , and you are also very good, you did not disappoint the elders of the Xie family."

"Thank you, Grandpa Chen, for your compliment."

Chen Yuanqi raised his hand and pointed at Xie Zheng, "You kid, you deserve grandpa's praise."

After working here for less than half an hour, everyone in the Chen family came back from outside.

Chen Yuanqi had two sons and two daughters. Both sons stayed in the imperial capital. One of the two daughters married to the south, and the other married to a foreign country. Usually, the two daughters came back around the Lantern Festival, but they did not come now.

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Kang, happy new year, happy new year to the two aunts." Xie Zheng got up and wished them a happy new year.

"Xie Zheng is here, happy Chinese New Year, sit down quickly, don't be restrained when you come home." Chen Jian raised his hand to let Xie Zheng sit down.

Chen Qianwen is Chen Jian's daughter, and he has an older brother named Chen Qiaofei.

At this time, a girl with a cold face was sitting with Chen Qianwen. She was Chen Jingwen, the girl I met in Liulichang two years ago. The whole family is here.

At the lunch table, the two families were full. Fortunately, the dining table at Mr. Chen's house was very big, otherwise they would really not be able to fit it.

Chen Jian and Chen Kang respectively asked about Xie Zheng's studies and employment situation this year, and chatted with several children.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xie Zheng said goodbye and left.

Chen Yuanqi personally sent Xie Zheng away, and when he came back, he said to Chen Qianwen, "What's Qianqian thinking?"

Everyone looked at Chen Qianwen, they all knew what the old man meant, that he wanted Xie Zheng and Qianqian to get along.

Chen Qianwen frowned slightly, and then let go, "Grandpa, you'd better leave me alone, I don't think people are interested in me."

"You child, do you despise Xie Zheng?" Chen Jian looked at his daughter.

"Qianqian, Xie Zheng's status is not low. Although the Xie family's grandfather and uncles and aunts are gone, no one dares to underestimate him because he is the Xie family." Chen Qiaofei didn't understand what was going on with his sister, Well done, you are very capable, you will join the army after graduation this year, your future is limitless, don't miss it."

Chen Qianwen knew that her father, elder brother and grandpa were doing it for her own good, but this kind of kindness made her feel a little depressed.

"Have you ever thought about what if Xie Zheng looks down on me?" She said with a sigh.

At this moment, Chen Yuanqi, Chen Jian and his son were stunned.

"That's right. There's no rush for this kind of thing. I'll ask Xie Zheng in private when I have time."

"Grandpa, parents, second uncle and second aunt, I'll go upstairs first."

"Go and have a good rest."

Back in the room, Chen Qianwen sat on the bed and looked at the distant scenery outside the window.

She is only 22 years old this year. In fact, she can continue her studies abroad, but staying there is bound to face that person all day long, and the other person already has a girl she likes, so she can't stand it anymore.

Chen Qianwen was afraid that if she continued to stay there, sooner or later she couldn't help but confess her feelings to the other party.

Some people may say that if you like it, you have to say it out loud.

This is true, but it also depends on the situation and the occasion. If the other party has someone he likes and has the same mind, you still have to tell the other party what you want. This is a completely selfish behavior. She has her own pride. Allow her to do this kind of thing that destroys people's feelings.

If she puts herself in the position of the other's girlfriend, and if a girl confesses to a boyfriend she likes, she will also feel that the other party is really hateful.

Our relationship is good, you came here to disgust us for your loyalty?

So, she doesn't know what to do now.
