Chapter 109: Prelude

"How's the consultation going?" Chang Jinzhu, who was half-lying on the soft bed, stretched his waist and pulled out a pistachio from a bag with the Star-Spangled Banner on it, peeled it and put it in his mouth. "It's so successful, in the end it becomes like a vegetable market!" Chang Feihu, who was standing on the side, tried to suppress his excitement, "Before this meeting, the people were quite confident in planting dried fruits, but now they are all worried." Lao Jiu sat there and stared dryly, I heard that he thought that one morning was not enough for the people to consult, and he made preparations for the next meeting in the afternoon, but it turned out that they themselves hurriedly announced the end of the consultation meeting. ”

Although Chang Jinzhu was old, his teeth were very good, and the chewed crisp and dry pistachios rattled: "Alas, I can imagine how annoying Lao Jiu is at this time, thinking that the troubles I had at hand back then are much more difficult than this...... Oh yes, Huzi, don't forget what you need to see a doctor and surf the Internet. "Dad, I remember, the rest will be ...... tomorrow"

The father and son were discussing closely, and the child's hoarse cry sounded outside the door, at first from the stairs, and as the child went upstairs it became more and more noisy, and after a door sounded, the crying was quieter, but it was still heard clearly. The closest to Chang Jinzhu's bedroom was Fei Peng and Jin Xing's house, which must be soldiers. Chang Jinzhu sat up, pulled open the door and walked out quickly, Chang Feihu followed closely behind him.

Chang Jinzhu knocked on the door of Feipeng's two-child house: "Jin Xing, are you inside?" Jin Xing opened the door, and Chang Jinzhu saw his little grandson lying on the bed. The soldier had been persuaded by his mother to stop crying, and when he saw that he had attracted more people, he screamed hysterically. "What's going on?" Chang Jinzhu glared at Jin Xing reproachfully and threw himself in front of the bed, "Soldiers, don't cry." What happened to the soldiers?" the soldiers wiped their tears with their little hands, looked at his grandfather with expectant eyes, and said, "Grandpa, where is Dad? If he doesn't come home, don't you want me?" Seeing that his grandfather was stunned, he covered his face and whimpered.

"What the hell is going on?" Chang Jinzhu asked his daughter-in-law in a soothing tone. Jin Xing was helpless, so she had to tell him and Chang Feihu: "He wants to eat jelly, but the house is gone, so I will take him to the store below to buy it." I was waiting at the window for the boss to bring it to me, and there was a group of kids playing games next to me, and he came over. It seemed that there was a sentence in the game of the group of children, 'Daddy doesn't want you' - it wasn't said to him, and no one played with him - but when he heard it, he suddenly became anxious, and went up to beat the child who said it. The boy was older than he was, and he pushed him to the ground. The other children also came around and tried to beat him, so I hurried over and coaxed them aside. On the way back, the soldiers began to cry until they reached home. I hugged him and wanted to hurry into the house to coax him, but I didn't expect to be arguing with you......" "Woo wow, woo wow!" The soldier's posture seemed to want his cry to spread to the whole village.

Jin Xing lowered her head, looking like she had admitted her mistake. Chang Jinzhu said with a pleasant face: "That's the case." It's okay, Jin Xing, you're doing the right thing. That one...... Did you buy the jelly back?" ”

Chang Jinzhu picked out a strawberry-flavored jelly, sat down in front of the bed, and stroked his grandson's head: "Good soldier, don't cry." The soldiers are really powerful, and you are not afraid of so many children who are older than you, you are so brave. Come, grandpa rewards you with a jelly. The little hand covering his face opened, and the soldier's eyes showed greed. "Come, open your mouth. Chang Jinzhu lifted the cover of the jelly and gently squeezed it against the soldiers. "Eat slowly, chew well, chew before swallowing. Jin Xing was afraid that the jelly would block the child's esophagus.

"Jin Xing, you feed him a few more. Seeing that his grandson was eating with relish, Chang Jinzhu glanced at his eldest son and stood up to leave, but the soldier's little hand grabbed his rough old hand. "Grandpa, grandpa, why is Dad going? Why doesn't he want me?" "Bingbing, don't talk nonsense. Jin Xing separated the two hands with huge visual contrast, "Dad didn't want you, he went to find something delicious and fun for the soldiers." I haven't found it yet, and when I find it, I'll take it home with delicious food and fun to give to the soldiers!" "I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" Mom, you always say that, but I can't see my father, my mother deceives people, my mother deceives people!" "Mom deceives people", these words stung Jin Xing, and she almost shed tears.

"Good soldier, your mother didn't lie to you. Chang Jinzhu turned around and hugged his grandson, and said with a smile, "Grandpa assures you that what your mother said is true." Do you think, did Grandpa lie to you? Your dad is really looking for you good food and fun. "Grandpa...... You...... Didn't you say that Dad would be back soon? Soon, soon, soon, and now, he hasn't come home, Grandpa, you're ......" "Yes, it's very soon." Chang Jinzhu glanced at Jin Xing and said, "Dad has to run a lot of places to find these good things for you." Remember the Earth in the cartoon? He's running around the Earth, and he's going to have to run several laps. It takes 10 days to run one lap, and your dad has to run 7 laps, so it's 70 days...... "Ah? ......" "But your dad is fast, and he only needs to run 3 laps, which is 30 days, to complete all 7 laps." Isn't he very fast?" "Oh, yes. The soldier nodded.

Jin Xing was dumbfounded, and Chang Feihu at the door of the house turned his face sideways to hide his mouth and snicker.

"Then do the math, how many days has your dad not been home?" "Uh......" The soldier's mathematics is still at the enlightenment level, and he can only count them one by one on his fingers. "Grandpa told you that it's been almost 20 days, so in another 10 days or so, your dad should come home with good food and fun. "Really, 10 days?" "Really, grandpa never lied. So, Bingbing should obediently listen to your mother, don't cause trouble for your mother, and let your father come home knowing that Bingbing is a good boy these days when he is away, okay?" A smile spread across the soldier's face.

When he left the house, Chang Jinzhu felt a trace of guilt in his heart, and turned around and called Jin Xing: "Jin Xing, you come to help me get something." He led Jin Xing downstairs to the living room, and Chang Feihu was sent by his father to accompany the soldiers for a while. Jin Xing thought she understood her father-in-law's intentions, so she asked straight to the point: "Dad, is it true?" You said that Feipeng will come back in 10 days...... Her father-in-law did not answer directly, but said: "Jin Xing, these days Peng is not here, you are busy, cleaning up the housework and coaxing the children, and finally finished and rested, and there is no one around to talk." Thank you for your hard work. "Dad, it's nothing, I don't have anything to work hard. Similar things have been said by my father-in-law before, so Jin Xing is not unusual, "Those are what I should do, and besides, my sister-in-law will do it with me." I was just...... It's just that I'm not used to Feipeng not coming home for so many days, I ...... I'm worried...... I'm worried he's tired outside. ”

Chang Jinzhu sat on the leather sofa, but did not signal Jin Xing to sit, Jin Xing had to continue to stand in front of the coffee table. "I know that you and Feipeng, you two often have some little awkwardness and small opinions. "Dad, I ......" "It's okay, I know it all." I also know that Feipeng is unreasonable a lot. Am I right? It can't be that he ignores it every time, right?" Jin Xing didn't dare to laugh and didn't reply to his words.

"In short, he always makes trouble with you unreasonably, it is he who is wrong, and he owes you in this regard. But this time he has been out for so many days, and it has nothing to do with your previous awkwardness and opinions, you have to believe me. "Dad, I believe it, I always believe in you. "Fei Peng does have serious things to do. Think about it, he was thrown off the top position in the village since he was beaten, and he was in a mess, what kind of serious thing did he do? A big man can't always guard his home, he has to find some career, right? Look at those gentlemen in the village who go out to work, they are reluctant to have wives and children, but they have to work even more to earn money. Feipeng also went out to work, and he came back after a month. You have to understand him, when he comes back, I will educate him well, so that he can make up for what he owes you this time and before. "Dad, I understand, don't ......" "But the soldier's recent mentality, I have also noticed, some are different from usual. He is different from the children in the village, his father has not been away from him for so long, and it is conceivable that he is not adaptable. You're going to have to calm him down. I know you've been doing this since Fei Peng left, and you've done a great job. I mean, in the past few days, he knows that his father is coming back, and his mood will change a little, he may be happy for a while, and he will be impatient for a while, all of which are thinking about his father, and Feipeng was like this when he was three or four years old. At this time, you have to get closer to him, and when he is close to his mother, it will be easier to be calmer. Jin Xing, don't look at the soldiers who usually pestered me and your mother as grandparents, in fact, the one who loves him the most in the family and takes care of him the most is still your mother, but the soldiers don't fully feel it. These days he is looking forward to his father, and his father has not come back, you are doubly close to him, to put it more sourly, use ...... ...... with Mother's Love Mother's love cares for him, I think he will be able to perceive your goodness, and feel that you have worked hard for him. All in all, the soldier is in an unstable mood these days, you are more close to him, and you have more feelings with him, ah. ”

Since marrying into Chang Jinzhu's family, Jin Xing has not seen the head of the family say too much nonsense, whether it is to his family or to outsiders. However, at this moment, she was deeply incredible: her father-in-law asked her to come down, but he was actually to talk about this strange nonsense in a long way. It is impossible for a soldier to fully understand his mother's love at a young age, but he is very sensible and simple, and he is very close to the elders in the family, whether it is grandparents or parents, and there is no such thing as "favoring one over the other". Their mother and son have always been close, so why let the father-in-law say it, as if there was some misunderstanding or even estrangement between them, and Chang Feipeng didn't go home for almost a month, but it was an opportunity for the mother and mother to deepen their understanding and improve their relationship. Could it be that he is using it as an excuse to find Xiaomi to cover up his son's shame regardless of his family?

Agreeing to Chang Jinzhu's words one by one, and thinking of this, Jin Xing sneered in his heart: Feel free to help him defend him, anyway, you promise the soldiers that his father will be back in 10 days. In 10 days, he will really come back and really get down to business, and the rest will be said slowly. If he doesn't come back in 10 days, I won't say anything, the soldiers will make a fuss, and I won't be able to help you turn his father out no matter how much I coax and persuade him.

It seemed that her father-in-law had finished explaining, so Jin Xing asked for instructions to go back to the house to "get close" to the soldiers. Chang Jinzhu looked at his daughter-in-law's back meaningfully, hesitating to say no more "more closeness, more affection", and finally he swallowed the words back into his stomach. He repeated this meaning several times just now, and said that it was a golden apricot, even the eldest daughter-in-law of Hanhan could be engraved in his heart.
