Chapter 10: I'm Thankful to Have You
His wife's words made Yang Zhen sigh slightly, and after being silent for a long time, he said: "After the translation of this batch of materials is completed, and you take care of your body, we will have a child." Not only to fulfill the expectations of the second elder, but also to be a father and experience the feeling that blood is thicker than water. ”
Yang Zhen's sigh made Yuan Zhiruo's face blush even more. But what she couldn't figure out was why Yang Zhen seemed to disagree with Yang Jicai's marriage. It stands to reason that his younger brother is married, and he, the eldest brother, should be happy? Why did Yang Zhen look worried?
Looking at his wife's puzzled expression, Yang Zhen shook his head slightly. His wife's mind is still too simple, and some things are not very clear. If this woman is a woman who can't read big words, she wouldn't be so worried. The third brother likes it, as long as the family is from a decent background, he doesn't care.
But this doctor who was selected by the Ministry of Social Affairs to work with his parents, even if he is the number one of the Anti-Japanese Federation, has no right to ask whether this person is the person of the Ministry of Social Affairs itself, or whether he is a person who has been arranged to take care of his parents after being examined by the Ministry of Social Affairs. And he is not ignorant of the complicated background of this female doctor.
It is precisely because of this that Yang Zhen has a headache, and even disapproves of this marriage in his heart. But now that the facts have been established, he cannot intervene and oppose them. Whatever the reason for this doctor to work with her parents, her background was there.
Facing his wife with question marks on his face, Yang Zhen hesitated, but decided that even if it was a reminder, there were some things that his wife should know: "As the eldest brother of Jicai, although I am indeed very unhappy as the last person to know." But seeing Jicai getting married, will I be unhappy as an elder brother? ”
"I'm not against him getting married and starting a family, as long as the woman's family is decent, even if she really finds someone who can't read big words, I won't disagree. After all, the relationship is a matter of mutual affection, as long as Jicai agrees, and the woman is a serious person, I will approve it. ”
"Jicai is getting along with now, to be honest, I really don't agree from the bottom of my heart. You only know that this person was arranged by the Ministry of Social Affairs to take care of his parents, and he is a top student of Nanman Medical University. There are some things that you don't know, and I can't say more. My hesitation is here."
Speaking of this, Yang Zhen paused for a moment, and said resolutely: "You go and tell Jicai, I will not agree to this marriage, and this marriage report will be the end of the matter with me." He can find anyone, but definitely not from the Social Department. If your parents don't know about this marriage, don't stab them out. If this incident makes my parents angry, be careful that I peel him. ”
Yang Zhen's resolute attitude made Yuan Zhiruo slightly stunned. Although Yang Zhen often habitually brings the tough style of leading soldiers to his home, he makes several younger siblings afraid of him like a tiger, and he often doesn't dare to come out when he sees him. But for a few younger siblings, it is still rare to speak in such a tough tone.
Today's attitude is a bit unusual. Especially if Yuan Zhiruo couldn't figure it out, why did Yang Zhen resolutely not allow Yang Jicai to find someone from the Social Department? Isn't the Ministry of Social Affairs engaged in security and intelligence work? has always been his right and left hand with the Ministry of Intelligence, how does it sound like his husband is very distrustful of the Ministry of Society, and can even be said to be very wary?
After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Zhiruo still said: "Jicai, I think you should still talk to him about it, and carefully feel what is going on between the two of them." There are some things you can't say, and I won't ask. But I think even if you want to beat the mandarin ducks, you can't be as strong as you. ”
"Jicai's personality is not the same as you, you are the outside and the inside, and he is just the opposite of you. With his character, it is not the same thing to force a cow to drink water. In this way, the two of us will work together. You come back early tomorrow night, I'll get some food and drinks, you two talk alone, and I'll go talk to his lover." It's been a short time since we got married, and the people in the family haven't been here yet, so it's just an excuse. ”
"Outside, you are his superior, his chief, but sitting at home, after all, he is your own brother. Is there anything that can't be said explicitly, and has to be conveyed through me, the middle of being a sister-in-law? I know you're busy, but you have to take care of your family. Daddy, you haven't been there for more than two months. ”
"The old man doesn't say that he understands us, but his son is out to send troops to release horses, and the father and mother are not worried? Every time I go, the second elder sees that I am alone again, and his eyes are disappointed. We all know that it is not easy for you to be in such a position at your age, and you know the discipline of our troops. Several younger brothers and sisters are working hard on their own. None of your parents and siblings are counting on you, but there is always time to take a look. ”
Regarding his wife's criticism, Yang Zhen nodded slightly and said, "You're right, don't be too stiff with the two brothers." I'll talk to Jicai about this matter. My parents are waiting for me to go back and check the itinerary to see which day I have time, and we will go and see together. Several of my brothers were prodigal sons and let our parents down. ”
"After a while, I asked the logistics department to find a house, take my parents out, and live with us. Although there are not many opportunities to meet, it is much better than being separated like this and not seeing each other all the time. I'm going to an earth-shattering one, so I might as well pick it up and live with it. ”
Yang Zhen's thoughts, Yuan Zhiruo rolled his eyes and said: "I also want to take the second elder to come and live with me, but unless you can ask the security department to change the regulations, otherwise if you live with us, the second elder may not even be able to get out of the gate." We are often busy for days a day, and you are not at home for months as soon as the battle starts. ”
"The second elder comes to live with us, and he can only be at home one day, and there is not even a person to talk to, isn't this life more boring and boring? Although life at school is a bit boring, the second boss still has something to do, which is more beneficial to the old man's body. Get along with the children, and the life of the second elder can also be lively. At least one person who speaks, chatters. ”
Yuan Zhiruo's words, Yang Zhen was slightly stunned. Remembering that some time ago, my father was disgusted by being overprotected, and he shook his head slightly. The security department has no right to interfere with its decision, and if you want the security department to change its decision, you don't even think about it. Now Chen Bo can't wait to put a reinforcement company next to his parents, and he will not leave the protection of his eyes twenty-four hours a day.
If you really get here, the protection of the inside line will definitely be canceled. However, the protection of the periphery can only be strengthened, not weakened. I'm afraid that living with myself, the second elder doesn't even have this bit of freedom now. I can only walk around the yard, and I can't get out of the gate. Such a situation can only cause a stronger backlash from parents.
Or what my wife said is right, in the primary school for children in the military region, being a primary school teacher can also give parents something to do. The children there can also comfort some of the second elders whose children are not around. At the very least, it is better to have some people to talk and chatter than to live with yourself and only face four walls.
Although there is less freedom, there is still a world. The elderly should not be too tired, but they should not be too idle. Excessive idleness is not a good thing for the old man's body. Let them have something to do, which is more beneficial to the health of the elderly. After thinking about it, Yang Zhen finally agreed to Yuan Zhiruo's suggestion.
Patting Yuan Zhiruo's little hand, Yang Zhen sighed and said, "Thanks to you, otherwise my family and I wouldn't be able to figure out how stiff we would be now." I am a person who is born to not handle housework, and I am not qualified to be a son, an elder brother, and now I am not very qualified to be a husband. ”
Regarding Yang Zhen's emotion, Yuan Zhiruo smiled and didn't say anything, but hugged Yang Zhen tightly into his arms, hugging his waist and not letting go. Looking at his affectionate wife, Yang Zhen picked up the beautiful woman in his arms and walked to the bedroom. The wife is in her arms, and those troubles are thrown aside in advance.
Facts have proved that Yuan Zhiruo's worries are not out of nowhere, and it is really not good to force Yang Jicai, a stubborn cow who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, to drink water. Under the circumstance that Yang Zhen has no way to say many things clearly, Yang Jicai's attitude in this matter is very resolute, either he will approve his marriage report, or he will be a bachelor for life. In fact, after revealing the topic, Yang Zhen's conversation with this younger brother was very unpleasant.
The next night, Yang Zhen hung up a phone call to Yang Jicai after the meeting and took him back to his nest. And Yuan Zhiruo, who also came back early today, had already prepared wine and food at home. However, since they got married, they are still a small couple who gather less and leave more, and because they basically don't fire at home, they don't even have the most basic oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to live at home.
Yuan Zhiruo, who is busy with work, really can't spare the energy to go to the vegetable market to buy, and she doesn't have time to stay in the kitchen. Fortunately, Yuan Zhiruo, who left a lot of money before his father left, and Yuan Zhiruo, who was obviously more generous than Yang Zhen, went to the headquarters canteen to pay for three dishes in accordance with the regulations.
I went home an hour and a half early with the information, and personally cooked a dish of fried peanuts and rice with Harbin red sausage, a plate of boiled cabbage and vermicelli, plus a bowl of meat stewed in a casserole.
Red sausages and peanuts, as well as cabbage, vermicelli, and pork, were all bought by Yuan Zhiruo when he went out to purchase. Of course, these are also paid for separately. In the opinion of Yuan Zhiruo, whose personality is quite traditional, this is the first time that the little uncle has come to the door of the eldest brother, and it is really unreasonable for him to be a sister-in-law who does not cook.
Even if you are busy, you have to cook a few dishes, even if it is a simple dish. This is what Yuan Zhiruo thinks she must do as a wife and sister-in-law. Especially Yang Jicai, who is a member of his mother-in-law's family, when he comes to the door for the first time, it is too much to just fool around with canteen dishes.
She once heard Yang Zhen's mother mention that Yang Jicai likes to eat altar meat very much. After arriving in the army, because of the war and the restrictions of the troops, Yang Jicai, who was often very clean in his pocket, basically had not eaten. So I specially made a bowl for Yang Jicai according to the most authentic method.
Fortunately, these dishes are very convenient, even if the meat takes a little longer, but just put it on the stove and stew. However, compared with the altar meat specially prepared for Yang Jicai, the dish of cabbage and vermicelli was specially prepared by Yuan Zhiruo for Yang Zhen. Because this Northeast specialty dish is Yang Zhen's favorite food.
When she was Yang Zhen's secretary, Yang Zhen always couldn't eat enough of this simple dish. As long as the cabbage comes down, every time he stays up late for a meeting to make a supper for Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen always asks for this by name. Just a small plate of cabbage mixed with vermicelli, Yang Zhen can eat several large cakes.
Since the two got married, because Yuan Zhiruo was transferred away from Yang Zhen's side, and the two of them got together less and left more, Yang Zhen rarely had the opportunity to eat the food that Yuan Zhiruo cooked for him. This is his favorite side dish, which is naturally more unpalatable. Today is the first time that the two of them have officially started a fire at home, and Yuan Zhiruo will naturally not forget this husband's favorite dish
