Gu Fulan didn't know Lu Yao's life experience. On New Year's Eve, a guest suddenly came, which made her a little confused.
Zheng Weiguo smiled at her and said, "Sister-in-law, let me come and see Yaoyao."
Gu Fulan groaned and quickly stood aside, "Come in quickly, it's very cold outside."
Several people entered the house, and Duan Mingjie went to the kitchen to serve dumplings to Zheng Weiguo.
After Zheng Weiguo entered the house, he didn't feel that it was much warmer inside than outside. Looking at Lu Yao who was wearing several layers of clothes, he frowned in distress.
Lu Yao brought him a stool and asked him to sit down, "Why did you come suddenly and didn't tell me in advance?"
If I had known he was coming, I would have had the New Year's Eve dinner later.
Zheng Weiguo explained: "It was decided on a temporary basis and it came quickly."
There have been a lot of things going on at home recently, and something happened with Tang Long. He thought he wouldn't be able to come, and was afraid that Yaoyao would be waiting for him, so he didn't tell him in advance.
I rushed all the way and finally caught up on New Year's Eve.
Duan Mingjie ordered a large bowl of dumplings and brought them over.
"Uncle Zheng, there's not enough food left in the pot."
Gu Fulan felt a little disgusted when she saw that her son was as attentive as entertaining his father-in-law.
Zheng Weiguo pointed outside and said to Duan Mingjie, "I have prepared some things for Yaoyao and the children. Go over and get them."
Duan Mingjie got up and went outside to get it.
What I brought to Lu Yao was milk powder and some snacks.
I bought a pair of winter clothes for each of my two children.
Duan Mingjie and his family were all shocked when they saw the milk powder.
Duan Mingming turned away to suppress his laughter.
Lu Yao blushed. Now that she saw the milk powder, she wanted to run away!
She wanted to tell them that she had grown up and no longer needed to drink milk powder!
Suddenly, Lu Yao had an idea. Just as she was about to say that it was for the two children, she heard Zheng Weiguo say, "I thought you didn't bring any when you came back, so I brought you a bag so you can drink it with the two children."
Lu Yao: "..."
I really appreciate you.
Duan Mingming worked very hard to hold back his laughter. Seeing Lu Yaosheng's helpless expression, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
But Gu Fulan saw some clues, and she asked tentatively, "Chief Zheng, why are you coming to our village for something important? I want you to come here to celebrate the New Year."
Zheng Weiguo repeated what he said just now, "I just came over to see Yaoyao."
For him, celebrating the New Year with his daughter is the most important thing.
Gu Fulan sat up straight and looked at Duan Mingjie.
Something is wrong with him.
Something is wrong with Lao San and Yaoyao.
After eating the dumplings, Duan Mingjie put away the bowl and sent it to the kitchen to be washed.
When I came back, I saw Zheng Weiguo handing out lucky money to the children.
Gu Fulan kept pushing away, "This is impossible!"
Zhiwei and Yanyan, who were neither relatives nor friends, were given a piece of unity. How could Gu Fulan bear such a scene.
Zheng Weiguo smiled at Gu Fulan and said, "Sister-in-law, just think of it as my kindness as a soldier to the children of martyrs."
Gu Fulan choked up and said, "Okay, okay."
Zhiwei and Yanyan were still in a daze with huge amounts of New Year's money.
Several people sat together to watch the New Year's Eve. Zheng Weiguo told the story of their joining the army. Everyone listened with great interest.
Especially Duan Mingming, who is more serious and quiet than others.
Gu Fulan naturally thought of Duan Mingming, "Chief Zheng, do you think our country will still have war?"
Two members of her family had lost their lives, and she didn't want to go to the battlefield again.
"There should be no more large-scale battles, but there are some that you don't know about."
In fact, there are wars of various sizes every year, and they are over before the people know it.
There are also some secret operations that are impossible to let everyone know about.
Gu Fulan's heart suddenly lifted after he had just put it down.
"Will female soldiers be allowed to join?"
Duan Mingming frowned, "Mom, don't ask this!"
Gu Fulan glared at her, "If you hadn't insisted on becoming a soldier, I would have asked this after I was full!"
Zheng Weiguo looked at Duan Mingming, "Do you want to be a soldier?"
After getting Zheng Weiguo's attention, Duan Mingming sat up straight and said, "Yes, Chief, I applied for the National Defense University."
Hearing this, Zheng Weiguo looked at Duan Mingming with eyes full of approval, "Little girl, that's good, your courage is commendable."
Duan Mingming scratched his head, "I'm afraid I can't do it well."
"It's good to have this intention. It's not easy to be a female soldier in our country. If you can get into the National Defense University, your grades will definitely be good."
Lu Yao hurriedly said, "Obviously, I ranked eighth in the province in the college entrance examination, so I can go to Beijing University."
Zheng Weiguo: "It seems that your father and your eldest brother have influenced you. I believe you will be a good soldier."
Duan Mingming: "Thank you, chief, I will work hard."
Zheng Weiguo said: "You will have military training when school starts after the new year. Compared with other universities, your military training will be much longer and more rigorous. The instructors sent there are also the best. My subordinate Tang Long was assigned to your school. He is now the chief instructor, wait until I get back and tell him."
"No, no, no!" Duan Mingming waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't say anything, I have no problem."
Her father and her eldest brother can go to the battlefield without training. If she can't withstand military training, how will she be able to defend her family and country in the future?
Zheng Weiguo smiled at her and said, "You misunderstood me. I just wanted to say hello to him and ask him to train you well."
Duan Mingming: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Not only Duan Mingming, but everyone else including Lu Yao also thought wrong.
Zheng Weiguo explained with a smile, "Since you have chosen to be a soldier, you must train well so that when the motherland needs you in the future, you will have the opportunity to display your skills and better protect yourself."
If you don't train well, you will be a living target on the battlefield.
Duan Mingming became passionate instantly, "Thank you, Chief Zheng!"
Seeing that Zheng Weiguo had no intention of leaving, Gu Fulan found an excuse to call Duan Mingjie out.
Gu Fulan lowered his voice, "What's going on with him? He's not spending time with his family during the Chinese New Year, so why did he come to our house to watch over him?"
It's not that she's not welcome, she also likes the excitement, but she needs to know what's going on.
Duan Mingjie: "Yao Yao is his family."
Gu Fulan frowned, "What do you mean?"
Duan Mingjie: "Mom, don't worry, Uncle Zheng has no ill intentions. I will talk to you about this later."
Gu Fulan was so angry that he slapped him in the face and said, "You're still making excuses with me!"
After saying that, Gu Fulan smiled and went into the room to continue chatting with Zheng Weiguo.
Duan Mingjie walked over and said, "Mom, you go back to the house and keep watch for the night. Yaoyao and I will talk to Uncle Zheng about something."
Gu Fulan: "Okay."
Gu Fulan looked at Zheng Weiguo and said, "Chief Zheng, we are going to play cards first. If you need anything, please tell Mingjie."
Zheng Weiguo stood up and said, "Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."
