In particular, the sporadic battles in the southwest have not yet ended, and the relationship with the north is also very stiff, and the mood of preparation for war in various military regions is high.

However, Chen Dahe is not concerned about this, but on another point.

"Mom," Chen Dahe's eyes twitched slightly, and he looked at Huang Yuzhi and said, "Did the eldest brother say what the money was for?"

It's not because I'm dissatisfied with the money given to the eldest brother, but I'm worried about what the money is for, the daily food and clothing in the army are solved, and there is an allowance every month, almost all the soldiers send money home, and the eldest brother was not a person who could spend money before, but this time his mother gave him money but accepted it, which is a little strange, after all, it is the eldest brother, if there is anything, he will not stand idly by.

"That's not true," Huang Yuzhi was also stunned, "I saw that he was doing well, so I didn't ask too much,"

Then his face was a little hesitant, "Do you suspect that the boss takes money and doesn't do business?"

"No," Chen Dahong frowned, "What bad things can the eldest brother do, he didn't go to the Yellow Tiger to play cards with him last time he came back." ”

Gambling money was already the worst bad thing she could think of.

The little sister looked at her mother with a confused face, and then at her brothers and sisters, and her heart was clenched.

Chen Dahe shook his head, thought about it and said with a smile, "It's useless for us to guess, just wait for the next time we write to ask him, if there are any difficulties in the army, the family can also help." ”

"Well," Huang Yuzhi nodded, but he was still a little brow-raised, and then waved his hand irritably, "Regardless of him, anyway, there is discipline in the army, and if something happens, let your father call and ask next time, and I will cook dinner for you." ”

With that, he got up and went to the backyard.

Seeing his mother like this, Chen Dahe regretted it a little, he should have called the boss first to ask about the situation, but now it makes his mother worried, well, I will go to Boss Yang tomorrow to make a call and ask, it seems that he has never called and written a letter to his eldest brother.

When Chen Deshan came back in the evening, he was very happy to see his youngest son, and he drank two more glasses at dinner in the evening, but he didn't ask much about Chen Dahe's affairs at school, but just chattered and repeated about the family's affairs, which was similar to what Huang Yuzhi said, but in more detail.

Chen Dahe also said that he was going to study abroad next year, and the envy of his classmates was different, whether it was the two elders, the second sister and the younger sister, his face couldn't help but be a little worried, abroad, God knows what it was like there, he was not used to eating, he couldn't sleep steadily, and whether he could get along with those foreigners with yellow hair and blue eyes who looked like evil ghosts, and I thought a lot for a while.

Chen Dahe could only try to be relieved and boast of the flowers abroad, "Mom, parents, don't worry, I went abroad two months ago, it's good, the houses are built high, the city is very beautiful, the people are very easy to get along with, and you can buy everything in the street store casually, what TV, refrigerator, color TV are all on sale, and you don't need a ticket, and I will buy a set of household appliances for my family next summer." ”

"Hmph, that's so good, why don't you see others go out," Chen Deshan, who was still smiling just now, raised his eyebrows at this time, "Anyway, this matter has already been decided, and I can't control you, but there is one thing, no matter whether foreign countries are really good or false, you will come back after learning, and you can't covet the flowery world outside." ”

"Absolutely not," Chen Dahe raised his right hand high, his face full of sincerity, "I promise the party that I will definitely come back,"

"Besides," the next moment became hippie and smiling again, "foreign universities also have summer and winter vacations, and I will come back after the holidays." ”

"You don't need money to run back and forth," Chen Deshan's eyes glared, "Tens of thousands of miles away, you can sit dead people by train, and you don't want to toss." ”

Drinking the wine in the cup in one gulp, he turned his head to his wife and said, "Go, take out all the money in the family and take it with the third child, the poor family is rich, and you can't go abroad without money." ”

"Hey,"

I have to look at the money twice a day from time to time, Huang Yuzhi, who is like a miser, didn't fight, and when she stood up, she was about to get the money, Chen Dahe hurriedly pulled her back.

"No, I really don't, I'm studying abroad on public assignment, and the state bears it, and I also pay a monthly allowance, which is many times higher than that in China. ”

Naturally, he is not a public student studyer, so he is just lying to his parents, and he really can't find any other excuse except this.

Seeing that his parents were unmoved, Chen Dahe hurriedly changed the topic, "Dad, Mom, there is still something to discuss with you." ”

"What's the matter?" Huang Yuzhi asked, but still didn't sit down.

"Na," Chen Dahe was a little embarrassed, "When I came back, I discussed with Sissi's family and planned to get engaged this year. ”

"Engaged?"

The old couple glanced at each other, and the next second they both smiled on their faces.

"The third child," Chen Deshan held the wine glass in one hand, leaned forward, looked at his son and said, "This is not a joke, think about it?"

"How can this be a joke," Chen Dahe said seriously, "Won't you go abroad next year, I'm afraid that Qianqian has something in mind, so I plan to get engaged first, so that she can rest assured, and when she returns to China after completing her studies, she will be old at that time, and then officially get married." ”

"Third child," the second sister Chen Dahong was also full of excitement, but her eyes were a little worried, "Xiqian's father is the deputy secretary of our county, so they didn't mention any conditions." ”

"Hmph, they still dare to put forward conditions," Huang Yuzhi snorted lightly, raised his face and said, "If it weren't for the third child, his father-in-law and Sissi would have been gone a long time ago, why mention the conditions, besides, Dahe is a student of Peking University, where is he not worthy of their daughter, of course, we are indispensable to the etiquette that should be there." ”

"Well, this is the right reason," Chen Deshan nodded, "Ming'er, I'll go to a few old people to discuss and see what to do about this matter, and I can't be rude." ”

"No, this time it's a marriage, don't make it so troublesome," Chen Dahe said with a smile, "I plan to ask the old principal to help me propose marriage, and it's decided that the two families will have a meal together." ”

"How can it be so casual," Chen Deshan heard that it was so simple, of course he didn't agree, his head shook like a rattle, "Our two families are not like other people's families, everything is simple, everything is simple, and it must be done beautifully, it must be no problem to ask the old principal to be a matchmaker, I will go to him tomorrow and discuss what to do, after all, it can't be too shabby." ”

"Hey, Dad," Chen Dahe said with a smile, "Didn't our family use to be eight generations of poor peasants, why do you pay so much attention, and if you make it known all over the city, it's not for people to gossip, and it won't have a good impact on Sissi's father." ”

"It's true that our family is an eight-generation poor peasant, but your grandfather's family is a scholarly family that cultivates and reads heirlooms, and there are several Xiucai, and there are even Jinshi in the ancestors," Chen Deshan pointed to his wife, "Now that the Huang family is left with your mother, don't you want to earn some face for the Huang family?!"

Huang Yuzhi's face darkened, then his eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the old lady Huang donated all the brick and tile houses in the town, leaving only a mud-walled house and half an acre of vegetable land behind the house, and married the only daughter to the Chen family who had worked for several generations of long-term work for the family.
