The moment Ye Ning raised his gaze, a small expression appeared on Zheng Hongchang's face.
Fleeting.
"sit down."
Zheng Hongchang gestured.
But even so, Ye Ning and Zheng Shuyun still waited until Zheng Hongchang sat down before sitting down with them.
The atmosphere became much more depressing because of Zheng Hongchang's appearance.
"How is Gu Feng's health lately?"
Zheng Hongchang didn't even need Ye Ning to speak, Zheng Hongchang had already started asking.
Ye Ning replied: "It's okay."
"Is it still good or bad?" Zheng Hongchang's voice was very serious, which invisibly put too much pressure on people.
Ye Ning said casually: "He has spent most of the last half month training in the army, and I haven't seen him for a while."
Since the chief wanted to answer in the affirmative, she would tell the truth.
"Are you blaming the troops for being too intensive in training and not giving them time to go home?" Zheng Hongchang's words made the already depressing atmosphere even more tense.
"Dad..." Zheng Shuyun wanted to calm down, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Zheng Hongchang's sharp eyes shut him up.
"I'm asking her, not you."
Zheng Hongchang's eyes always fell on Ye Ning.
Zheng Shuyun also couldn't understand why his father was so serious since he invited someone over.
Ye Ning had no choice but to answer.
"Soldiers take it as their duty to defend their home and country. The harder they train, the stronger they become. So there is no saying whether it is tight or not, only whether they can bear it."
There was a few seconds of silence as her words fell.
Zheng Shuyun couldn't guess his father's intentions at all, and became nervous for Ye Ning.
"You answered very well." Zheng Hongchang affirmed in a loud voice.
Ye Ning didn't react much, but Zheng Shuyun breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to change the topic, Zheng Hongchang's next question was even more sharp.
"I heard that your relationship with Gu Feng was not very good before?"
Ye Ning frowned. This was definitely not a matter of hearsay, but a completely certain fact.
If she admitted it in front of Zheng Hongchang, would it help her divorce Gu Feng?
Ye Ning was really tempted at this moment.
"us……"
Except for Zheng Hongchang who stared at her intently, Qiu Qing and Zheng Shuyun were also waiting for her answer.
"We are both married for the first time and have little experience. There must be a lot of things that need to be adjusted in life. But now Gu Feng and I have understood each other's temperaments, and we are much more stable than before."
Ye Ning still gave up telling Zheng Hongchang that she wanted a divorce. After all, she now had no idea what Zheng Hongchang's purpose was in meeting her.
This time Qiu Qing couldn't help but laugh.
This kid's words are quite interesting. He has no experience in getting married for the first time, haha.
"Old Zheng, have you finished asking all the questions? The food is ready. Let's eat first."
"Yes, dad, you scared Ye Ning by being so serious." Zheng Shuyun actually really wanted to explain to Ye Ning that her dad was usually a very kind elder.
Zheng Hongchang looked at his wife and daughter, and then nodded.
"Let's eat."
Ye Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief and followed Zheng Shuyun to sit at the dining table.
The meals are well prepared and delicious.
Ye Ning has been losing weight, so he only tasted a symbolic bite of each dish, and then just ate green vegetables.
During this period, Zheng Hongchang and Qiu Qing had been observing her dining etiquette.
There was no smacking, no turning of dishes, and no particular liking for a particular dish.
All in all, Ye Ning's every move at the dinner table was completely impossible to fault.
"I heard that your art troupe is going to have a performance at the end of the year?"
After Zheng Hongchang stopped looking, he took the initiative to care about his daughter's work.
"Yeah. Our musical instrument team has been very busy every day lately, besides rehearsing."
Zheng Shuyun definitely has a lot of complaints when it comes to this. It doesn't matter if he is rehearsing new songs. The problem is that the two captains want to use new programs to participate in the performance, but the new songs have not been finalized for a long time, and they are getting worse every day. Their rehearsal time is terrible.
"Dad, if this performance is really not effective, will it have any impact on our leader Lin?"
Zheng Shuyun really didn't regard Ye Ning as an outsider, and actually asked Zheng Hongchang directly.
"Then it depends on how bad you mean the effect is not good. The principle of survival of the fittest applies everywhere."
Zheng Shuyun and Ye Ning looked at each other directly, their expressions serious.
"This is unfair." Zheng Shuyun couldn't help but muttered: "The Southwest Art Troupe is so powerful, and it is unfair for us to perform with them."
This kind of matter is not decided by Zheng Hongchang, but it does not prevent Zheng Shuyun from complaining to his father.
"What is fair and what is unfair? If you really go to the battlefield and encounter an enemy stronger than you, you will be the only one who dies. Are you going to say it's unfair to God at that time?"
Zheng Hongchang's views hit the nail on the head.
Zheng Shuyun was speechless by the question and had to sigh.
Ye Ning spoke at this time, "Didn't the two captains say they want to find an outside composer to compose a new song?"
Zheng Hongchang did not show any displeasure at her words, and Ye Ning's worries disappeared without a trace.
Zheng Shuyun said helplessly: "They have indeed been contacting composers they know in the past two days, but time is tight and the tasks are heavy, so no one can take over yet."
A flash of light flashed in Ye Ning's eyes. She had already thought of this when she made this suggestion two days ago.
After lunch, Qiu Qing arranged tea and snacks.
Zheng Hongchang looked at Ye Ning again after drinking tea, "Gu Feng performed very well in the last competition. The organization's attitude towards him is to focus on training."
"Thank you to the leadership and organization for their trust."
Ye Ning held her breath, waiting for so long to finally get to the point.
"As a member of the military, you must always remember your identity. Although you and Gu Feng are two separate individuals, everything about you is closely related. I hope that no matter where Gu Feng goes in the future, you can do it Become a good and qualified military wife regardless of being favored or humiliated."
Zheng Hongchang's face was serious and dignified when he said these words, which was a reminder and an expectation.
Ye Ning nodded under his gaze, "I will work hard."
Zheng Hongchang's eyes lost the scrutiny and sharpness at the beginning, and gradually became more relaxed.
"You are Shu Yun's friend. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can tell Shu Yun, or you can come to me directly."
I don't know why when Zheng Hongchang said these words, Ye Ning felt an unprecedented pressure.
It was as if something difficult would really happen in the future, and this feeling made her panic.
