Chapter 48: The Family Affair of a Soldier (13)
"Sister Qi, do you want to join our reading club?" Wang Yuehe asked tentatively.
"Book club?" Qi Hongyi was a little surprised, she reads, and she writes books. The guys in the domestic historical research association are basically men, and these guys can really be called well-read and rich. Qi Hongyi knows very well that his level is in the middle and low, and these people respect Qi Hongyi very much...... 's husband, so he also respects Qi Hongyi on the surface. But when it comes to real historical issues, they often discuss and come to a conclusion first, and then show Qi Hongyi and put her name in a very high position in the compiler. That's all.
Looking at Qi Hongyi's complicated expression, Wang Yuehe smiled: "Everyone just sits together, eats, and chats." ”
Hearing this, Qi Hongyi's expression eased a lot. It turned out to be a private club with a book club, and this can be had. When working during the day, he has to be as rigorous and serious as possible, and Qi Hongyi really doesn't want to tighten his nerves when he is resting.
In the evening, Qi Hongyi went to the "reading club". As soon as I entered the room, the first thing I saw was a few books on the table, as well as a variety of fine wines in the wine cabinet next to the books.
The members of the "reading club" all know each other, and among the wives of seven or eight middle and high-ranking cadres, the one whose husband is the only one with such a status is Hu Chenghe's wife. Everyone didn't care so much, and put the books from the table to the middle of the wine cabinet to the book floor, and a few bottles of wine and snacks occupied the table.
The sour and astringent aftertaste of white wine goes well with the light taste of white meaty fish, and Qi Hongyi is very satisfied with it. Seeing Qi Hongyi very skillfully tasting wine and food with the best pairing, the members of the reading club were very appreciative. Hu Chenghe's wife smiled: "Hongyi, I heard the way to eat from my old man, and my old man said that this is what His Majesty said." It's not fair that the men eat and drink in private, but they never bring us along. ”
Hearing this, Qi Hongyi didn't know how to answer for a while. According to Hu Chenghe's wife, Wei Ze's image is positioned in the position of an emperor who knows how to eat and drink. Qi Hongyi has been married to Wei Ze for so many years, and what she dislikes the most is Wei Ze's pure heart and few desires.
When reading books and reading about those who are morally noble and have noble conduct, it is natural to have a feeling of admiration. But when he met such people in real life, Qi Hongyi knew that it was not interesting at all. But Wei Ze looked at the pure heart and few desires, but he was very good at eating and drinking. Speaking from the background, the eldest lady of a Nanjing bibliophile is much stronger than a martial artist from a poor ravine in Guangxi anyway. However, after so many years of husband and wife, Qi Hongyi feels that he is inferior to Wei Ze in terms of knowledge, pleasure, and life taste.
Qi Hongyi can now understand that Wei Ze's pure heart and few desires are based on ultra-high hedonistic standards, and ordinary eating, drinking and having fun can't get into Wei Ze's eyes at all.
Of course, this is all a private matter. Qi Hongyi would not tell outsiders about this anyway. When women of this age are together, what everyone talks about is probably talking about their husbands and children. In terms of husband, Qi Hongyi has nothing to say. She already has a natural advantage. The winner is always generous, and Qi Hongyi has to take care of the mood of other people in the "reading club". The only ones left to speak are children.
For his own children, Qi Hongyi found that they were really inferior to other people's families. Other people's families marry daughters-in-law and daughters. Even the grandchildren were hugged. Qi Hongyi has two sons and a daughter, who reads and reads, and who is a soldier. Busy and busy, it looks very fulfilling, but they just haven't got a family.
"Sister Qi, I heard that your Wei Rui is a soldier?" Wang Yuehe asked.
When it comes to his eldest son, Qi Hongyi can't talk about it. Becoming a captain in his twenties, and possibly a lieutenant colonel before the age of thirty, is indeed a very good result if he is in an ordinary family. Becoming a school officer crosses the most important threshold in the class. It means to officially become a member of the ruling class from the reserve army of the ruling class.
But Wei Rui's father, Wei Ze, had already divided one side at this age and became the de facto emperor of the Southern Dynasty. Wei Ze officially ascended the throne before he was thirty years old, how can Qi Hongyi's son be no matter how good he is? What's more, the son was a soldier in distant North America and hadn't seen each other for more than two years. Qi Hongyi was very worried in her heart.
Hu Chenghe's status is very high, coupled with the system of the Republic of China, Hu Chenghe's wife smiled: "Hongyi, why don't we also see if there is a suitable girl to choose for you." No matter where Wei Rui is a soldier, you call him back, and if the two can see it well, they will become relatives. ”
Speaking of this, Qi Hongyi sighed: "Wei Rui's father is in free love, and young children follow suit." I also asked Wei Rui, and he has a lot of reasoning. What work is busy, what is not in the mood. What mood do you need to get married! ”
At this time, each member of the "reading club" drank a few glasses of wine, and after the wine came up, he was in a good mood. Hu Chenghe's wife smiled: "Not only your Wei Rui, but also our children." Boys find it troublesome to get married, and girls feel that getting married is burdensome. The old man of our family still didn't want to take care of it, and almost let them mess around. I also quarreled with the old man several times, and he finally came forward to ask these children to get married and marry quickly. My old man said that he had never been so tired from fighting. ”
"Isn't it!" Wang Yuehe also smiled, "Now the children want to learn from their father, seeing that his father is already in power at a young age, and they both feel that they are stronger than their father." But they don't want to think about it, their father followed His Majesty's revolution with his head pinned to the belt of his trousers, they were bitter themselves, but they didn't want their children to be as bitter. My child too, told him that the house had been prepared for him a long time ago, and he was waiting for him to get married. But they all want to be motivated, and they feel that after getting married, their families are dragging down, so they can't concentrate on work. Actually, what do they do? Eating and bragging with those friends all day long, where is his father like back then. ”
Books have long been thrown aside, and the more wine is drank. The ladies of the "reading club" complained about the disobedience of the children. Where do the older generation have so many ideas, just live after getting married. Today's young people still don't like this and don't want to see that. Their parents were deviant enough back then, but in the second generation, these children were even more outrageous than their parents.
In the end, none of the problems were solved, but I drank a lot. Qi Hongyi felt a little dizzy, but felt very comfortable. I was finally able to express the depression in my heart, and my mood was unconsciously much lighter. She took out an envelope and handed it to Wang Yuehe, the speaker of the "Reading Club". "This is my dues, and we will have to study more in the future."
When she got home, Qi Hongyi saw that the light was still on in Wei Ze's study, and she knocked on the door and went in directly. Weese had a lot of other accomplishments in music, occasionally humming a song himself, and sometimes singing a piece to everyone. Qi Hongyi was more impressed by "Bacchus Song", "After drinking our wine, one person dares to go to the green yarn mouth, drinks our wine, and does not kowtow when he sees the emperor!" At this time, she consciously felt the urge to pull the emperor off the horse. Regarding the matter of his son, Qi Hongyi had long wanted to talk to Wei Ze, but he always felt that he couldn't find the time, and now the time has come.
"The reading party shows the true face of the wine tasting party, it seems that you are very satisfied, madam!" Wei Ze added some hot water to his cup and handed it to Qi Hongyi.
After pouring a sip of tea, Qi Hongyi felt better. She dragged Weser out of her chair and onto the couch in the study. Then Qi Hongyi sat directly on Wei Ze's lap and put his arm around Wei Ze's neck. Feeling that Wei Ze was very gentle and hugged his waist, Qi Hongyi felt very warm and relieved. She said, "Wees, I just wanted to ask you. Do you want Wei Rui to inherit the throne? ”
Wei Ze sighed, "I've said this question many times, if he really has the ability to be recognized, I don't refuse this kind of thing, what I refuse is ......"
Qi Hongyi didn't want to argue with Wei Ze about this issue anymore, he had already talked about the truth before. She lowered her head and kissed Wei Ze the mouth, blocking Wei Ze's mouth and preventing him from continuing. After a while, letting go of Wei Ze's lips, Qi Hongyi said with a drunken straightforwardness: "Then do you want Wei Rui to marry?" You have to speak up about this as a father. ”
"This can be there." Weser laughed.
"Really?" Qi Hongyi tilted his head to look at Wei Ze, and confirmed with a smile whether Wei Ze was sincere or perfunctory.
Wei Ze looked at his wife and said in a sincere tone, "Really." I think it's time for him to get married at this age. If you don't get married, it won't be easy to find a partner in the future! ”
Hearing her husband say this, Qi Hongyi was not happy, she said with that kind of drunken and seemingly angry tone: "What! Why is it so difficult for my son to find a partner at his age? He's thirty years old, and a lot of seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls can be found! ”
"Ahh Captain Qi Rui, who was in North America, sneezed. Rubbing his nose, Captain Qi Rui yawned, and then continued to write the report. He had never seen her mother coquettish to his father, and if he saw his parents so close, Captain Qi Rui would only be dumbfounded.
However, at this time, the captain did not think that his parents, Li Guangzu's affairs were almost in the final stage. Lee Kwang Jo himself has been sent to a military court for trial, and it is widely believed that this guy will basically be shot. And what Captain Qi Rui has to do in this matter is only to testify. His most important job was to put the company in order through this incident. And report their own rectification ideas and results to their superiors.
The murder of Li Guangzu did have a significant impact on Captain Qi Rui's promotion, but as Captain Qi Rui's father Wei Ze often said when educating his children, "When people encounter setbacks, they will immediately have a sense of frustration, and the reaction of frustration is that everyone wants to live in the past or the future." However, we need to understand one thing, people can only live in the present moment. Regardless of the supervisor's intentions, this is the objective fact. Children, your father and I came here like this. ”
