"You have to keep your word." Cheng Jingmo said seriously.
Yu Xiangnian said perfunctorily: "Think about it!"
Cheng Jingmo said: "Yu Xiangyang will not do anything deviant, especially during this period."
"Um?"
"Last time, his superiors gave Yu Xiangyang a second-class merit. Recently it was the inspection period for him to be promoted to the main camp. He knows what he should do and what he cannot do."
Yu Xiangnian complained that he was not worried about what Yu Xiangyang would do, but what Xia Qingyun had done to Yu Xiangyang.
"By the way." Cheng Jingmo added, "Sucheng Public Security Bureau sent a letter of thanks to our troops, thanking us for helping them solve the case."
Yu Xiangnian asked: "I have helped solve so many cases, can the army give me a meritorious service award?"
"cannot."
With two words, Yu Xiangnian's dream of meritorious service was shattered.
Not to mention that there is no such regulation, even if there is, if it is reported to Yu Jiashun, he may not approve it.
Because of his identity, he would inevitably be criticized, and he didn't want others to talk about him.
Just like what happened to Yu Xiangyang, according to Yu Xiangyang's performance in the army, it would be no problem to be promoted to the full battalion one or two years ago.
But Yu Jiashun always said that Yu Xiangyang's character was not calm enough and needed to be tempered.
It was not until this time that Yu Xiangyang risked his life to break into the enemy and played an extremely important role. With the blessing of a second-class meritorious service, he was officially listed as an inspection subject in the main camp.
The next morning, Cheng Jingmo and the others returned to the family home.
The family courtyard was as lively as ever. As soon as they entered the gate, family members came forward to say hello.
"Deputy Commander Cheng, are you back from visiting relatives?"
"Is everyone in the family okay?"
"There's so much luggage, let me help you carry one."
“···”
The house had been cleaned very clean. Yu Xiangnian looked at the familiar environment and felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
Liu Zhen saw her through the fence and was extremely excited, "Comrade Yu, you are finally back! Don't cook at noon today. I just made a basket of steamed cakes and will bring them to you later."
"Okay, then come and sit."
Xiaojie ran out and came back after a while holding two chickens.
Yu Xiangnian's mouth twitched, "You hugged me right, right?"
Xiaojie had the same expression, "I thought I hugged them wrong, but Aunt Liu Zhen said these are the two chickens we have."
"Not as good-looking as when I was a child." Yu Xiangnian said.
Xiaojie agreed, "If you touch their fur, it won't feel as comfortable as when you were a child."
When they left, the two chickens were about the size of a fist, their fur was soft and yellow, and they were very cute.
Now it has grown as big as Xiaojie's head, its fur has turned gray, and it smells bad.
Cheng Jingmo felt helpless as he watched the two people seriously discussing whether the chicken was good-looking.
Could it be that eggs from beautiful chickens taste better?
The news of their return spread throughout the family home in one morning.
After lunch, Liu Zhen and Wang Hongxiang came to chat with Yu Xiangnian.
A few people talked about the business becoming more and more prosperous, and Yu Xiangnian asked casually, "Where is Li Guihua?"
"She's pregnant!" Liu Zhen said expressively, "The reaction this time was severe. I vomited and lay in bed all day, and Daya cooked all the food. This time it must be a son!"
Yu Xiangnian smiled and said: "I didn't expect that I would have so many happy events after being away for more than a month."
Wang Hongxiang said: "It would be a happy event if it was a boy, but it would be a happy event if it was a girl..." She didn't finish her sentence.
Liu Zhen answered, "According to Li Guihua, her man beats her from time to time, partly because he thinks she didn't give him a son!"
Yu Xiangnian said sarcastically: "You know, her man is a company commander, but those who don't know think he is an emperor and must have a son to succeed him."
Liu Zhen said: "It's not entirely her man's fault. Look at our families, who doesn't have a boy?"
Yu Xiangnian: "..."
She forgot that in this era, the mentality of favoring boys over girls was still very serious.
I don’t know if Cheng Jingmo is like this too.
She glanced at Cheng Jingmo, who was plowing and planting vegetables in the vegetable patch in the yard.
If he dares to favor sons over daughters, then he should find someone who can give him a litter of sons!
At night, when Yu Xiangnian was getting ready to go to bed, Cheng Jingmo came in with a small wooden box.
"Here you go." Cheng Jingmo handed the wooden box to Yu Xiangnian.
"What?"
"Jade pendant."
Yu Xiangnian: "..."
She just said it casually, not really interested in his jade pendant, and forgot about it after she said it.
However, she wanted to see what the jade pendant looked like, so she took the wooden box, opened it, took out the jade pendant, and looked at it carefully.
The jade pendant is made of the finest mutton-fat jade. It is milky white, surrounded by a pair of dragons and phoenixes, with the word "Song" in the middle.
I don’t know whether Cheng Jingmo’s father’s surname is Song or his mother’s surname is Song.
"String a thread here and you can wear it." Cheng Jingmo said.
Yu Xiangnian guessed at that time that he couldn't wear it, and sure enough!
This jade pendant is about eight centimeters long, six centimeters wide, and one centimeter thick. It feels heavy in the hand.
Wearing such a big jade around her neck, she looks like a conspicuous bag!
Yu Xiangnian said: "Cheng Jingmo, this jade pendant is not for wearing, it is for proving identity. Just like the jade pendant hung around the waist by the ancients, it represents identity."
"This jade pendant is so high-quality, it shows that your father or mother's family background was quite prominent before, and you can be considered a second-rich and third-generation rich man!"
Cheng Jingmo said calmly, "Whatever their identities are has nothing to do with me."
If they're gone, it doesn't matter who they are.
If they were still in this world and hadn't come to him for so many years, he wouldn't care what their identities were!
Yu Xiangnian also understood Cheng Jingmo's thoughts. She said, "It's enough for you to have me!"
She handed the jade pendant to Cheng Jingmo again, "You'd better keep it. I'm not reliable. What if I lose it one day."
Cheng Jingmo pushed her hand back and said, "I'll keep it for you. Just throw it away."
Yu Xiangnian: "...Then keep it in your box and lock it up."
The jade pendant was put into the small wooden box again and locked in the box.
However, Cheng Jingmo gave the key to the box to Yu Xiangnian for safekeeping.
When the two were sleeping, Yu Xiangnian asked seemingly casually, "Cheng Jingmo, do you like boys or girls?"
Cheng Jingmo was confused, "What do you mean?"
"Our baby, do you want a boy or a girl?"
Cheng Jingmo was even more puzzled, "I want whatever you want, how can you still choose?"
Immediately, his eyes lit up, "Are you willing to have children?"
Yu Xiangnian: "What do I ask you and what do you answer? No questions are allowed!"
Cheng Jingmo said weakly, "Oh."
Yu Xiangnian asked solemnly: "If I only have one child, do you want a boy or a girl?"
"Whatever you give birth to is what I want."
"You must choose one!" Yu Xiangnian said.
