The old lady was not in a hurry, and Wei Rui got a rare relaxation, and he finally had time to call his friends out for a party.

Shen Xin did things very decently, and it was not only Wei Rui who got three months of family leave according to the regulations, but also eligible North American military personnel who received family leave. The difference is only a little earlier, a little later. If a unit loses a third of its soldiers, it can continue to fight. If a unit loses one-third of its core personnel, its combat effectiveness will not only drop by one-third.

Hu Xingzhi, Li Shaokang, and Zhou Shun, old friends who went to North America with Wei Rui, got on the ship back to Asia one after another, and the three of them also readily said that they came out to sit down after receiving the call. When the four of them met, they found that the party had turned into a meeting of six people. Hu Xingzhi and Li Shaokang both brought their girlfriends, Qi Rui and Zhou Shun, look at me, I see that you don't know what to say.

Nanjing's business has always been very developed, and now it is even more impressive. There are many shops on the streets, and many large supermarkets have been built. The girls looked at it and were very happy. The four soldiers had been trained for a long time on the march, so they walked behind at a leisurely pace, and they were not physically exhausted. It's just that the mental pressure far outweighs the physical hardship.

"Are you getting married?" Qi Rui asked Hu Xingzhi and Li Shaokang.

"Your family didn't introduce you to anyone?" Hu Xingzhi found a good answer to the problem. Listening to his words, Qi Rui and Zhou Shun's faces were not good-looking. Both of them obviously encountered the pressure of forced marriage at home.

Hu Xingzhi saw that he was not a special case, so he complained: "I was originally annoyed, but then I thought about it, I have to get married." If you don't get married now, wait until you go back to North America to serve for another three years, and Ben 30 will go. When my parents said that, I think they were right. If you think about it, where are there so many opportunities for big battles. If foreign countries do not want to die, how can they directly challenge our China. We have been in North America for so long, and the Americans are excited, but they don't actually make any substantive moves. ”

These words are still a discussion, and Hu Xingzhi suddenly showed a shy expression that was rare to hear, "I also felt annoyed at the beginning, but it has been a long time. Also...... Not so unacceptable. ”

The two young soldiers, at least at this stage, who had not yet decided on a match, had some understandable expressions on their faces, as well as more mocking expressions towards the two "womanizers". Qi Rui and Zhou Shun are neither single, nor do they have any plans to be single. However, the two of them are obviously not mentally ready to get married now. Looking at the girl who was happily strolling around the store not far in front of her, the two single dogs were in a slightly complicated mood.

However, there is something in people's hearts, and they often speak without brains. Although Hu Xingzhi is not reluctant to get married, he also feels a little embarrassed to walk in front of his brothers. So Hu Xingzhi said without words: "Qi Rui, I heard that your younger brother is about to get married." You've got to hurry, too. ”

Qi Rui was stunned, his two younger brothers were indeed about to get married, similar to college students in this era, and the marriage partner was a classmate with a good background, but he didn't remember that he said that his two younger brothers were going to get married.

Li Shaokang and Zhou Shun were a little surprised, or pretended to be an accident, Zhou Shun smiled and said: "Qi Rui, aren't your parents urging?" ”

Li Shaokang asked, "Qi Rui, I remember that you have three younger brothers and two younger sisters, right?" ”

"Hmm." Qi Rui replied.

"That's a lot." Li Shaokang said with a smile.

A family of six babies is not a small number in this era, but it is a little more in the city. From the first generation of single people who entered the city, because of the help of Teacher Du and the education of fertility courses, it is basically about the same to have two or three. Four babies began to be considered more in the city, and six babies are not very rare, but they really belong to many.

Of course, Qi Rui didn't dare to say that his father had two wives, and each wife only gave birth to three, which was a normal birth. And Li Shaokang joked, "Why don't you introduce your sister to Zhou Shun?" ”

"No, no, no, this is not going to work." Zhou Shun waved his hand again and again.

Qi Rui only felt that things were more subtle, not only Qi Rui, but the other three people were also a little embarrassed. The young man was shallow, and in the end Hu Xingzhi couldn't hold back, he said: "We've been together for so long, let me introduce my own situation, and when you drink my favorite wine, you will hide it from you." My father's uncle was Hu Chenghe. ”

Zhou Shun saw what Hu Xingzhi said, and he continued: "My mother's uncle is Ke Gongyu. ”

Li Shaokang looked at the other three, and he said a little embarrassedly: "I am Wei Rui's distant cousin." ”

When Wei Rui came back this time, he also knew that his identity could not be hidden for too long. He simply smiled and said: "I am Wei Rui, according to this, Shaokang, you are still a figure of Hu Xingzhi's grandfather." ”

"Haha......" Zhou Shun never expected Wei Rui to come up with such a sentence, but it was really right to think about it. If Li Shaokang is the same generation as Wei Zedu, he is really Hu Xingzhi's grandfather.

"Phew!" Pingbai was demoted by two generations, and Hu Xingzhi said.

Some things are just like that, and as a result, the topic of young people has become that seniority is very meaningless in the city. This is also the characteristic of urban life, and the fundamental driving force that brings everyone together is not blood, but work. No matter what the seniority is, at least everyone is equal in front of work or in front of the workplace. Seniority according to seniority refers to the resume in the unit and department, and it really has nothing to do with the seniority of the family.

Men are very interested in this purely theoretical aspect, and even if they can't create the world with their own hands, it is a good interest to point out the "theory" of the world. This discussion is not only in line with men's hobbies, but also a good way to eliminate some embarrassment. The four of them didn't go to worship as soon as their brains were hot, but through such a chat, they finally determined their equal status.

Bring everyone back to the category of equality, and the rest of the discussion will be easy to talk about. They talked about the inevitable topic in North America, whether China would go to war with the United States. Once China and the United States went to war, these soldiers in North America would bear the brunt of the war. Several soldiers did not support the war very much, and now they have seen the changes in Nanjing, and then look at the original ecological environment of North America, and the preparations for the war are obviously not ready. And seeing the prosperity of China with their own eyes, everyone feels that the Yankees really have no reason to go to war with China. Is it seeking death to wage war with a powerful China?

According to the view of the young soldiers, since neither side is ready for war, let alone prepared for war, the possibility of this war being fought is very small. Of course, the result of such a discussion is that everyone can actually seriously consider whether they want to get married.

Shopping, eating, watching movies. In this era, it is probably a pastime for young people, and Wei Rui and they had dinner before returning home. When he returned home, he saw that his father Wei Ze was still there, so Wei Rui asked his father about some things. "Father, why do you think you want to get married?"

"Everyone sees that other people's children are beautiful and cute, and they can't help but want to have one. Getting married, it looks troublesome, but in fact, it is the best way to have children. Weeser's answer was very simple.

Such a simple answer surprised Wei Rui, he thought that his father would talk a lot, but he didn't expect his father's words to be so neat and neat, and there was no deliberate embellishment. But this answer was not what Wei Rui wanted to hear, and he also felt that his question was not wrong. So after thinking for a moment, he changed the question again, "That...... What is love. ”

Wei Rui thought that his father might laugh at him like his mother, and even Wei Rui thought about the words of defense first, but he didn't expect his father to continue to answer in very concise words: "Love is a kind of belief, that is a kind of desire." No matter what kind of situation you encounter, whether you can do it or not. I still want to be with that person in my heart. ”

Although these words were also very convincing, they even hit a very weak point in Wei Rui's heart. Maybe that weakness was hit, Wei Rui was a little excited, "But I see that you and your mother are living very happily, father." ”

Wei Ze smiled, "You said it yourself, we are living." After living for a long time, I know if the other party has taken themselves to heart. What does it mean to take the other person to heart, that is, it doesn't matter whether I am happy or not, I am willing to do things that make the other party happy and make the other party approve. It's up to you to do this, but it's great that you can go against your judgment of something and do what the other person thinks, or at least think you should do what the other person wants. ”

If Wei Ze just talked about how he did it, Wei Rui probably didn't have that many ideas. But Wei Ze just talked about theories and didn't involve any facts, which made Wei Rui start to be entangled in his heart. After a while, Wei Rui said, "Father, I've actually always missed someone. But I always felt like I shouldn't have seen her......"

Looking at his son's tangled appearance, Wei Ze smiled, and a sincere expression appeared on his face, if it was in the eyes of others, he would probably say that Wei Rui was a wreck. However, Wei Ze could understand the mind of this kind of urban youth, and he was very satisfied that Wei Rui did not have that kind of mind. If his son is a second-class person who thinks "I can do whatever I want", Wei Ze will definitely be greatly disappointed.

"I don't know how deep your feelings are for the people you care about, I think so, you feel that if you don't start, there will be no results. What you are afraid of now is to start things, and if the ending is not what you want, you think it is better not to start. At least you can leave a good space in your heart. If it's just a ruined ending, you can't afford it. ”

By the time Wei Ze said this, Wei Rui already wanted to refute it, but Wei Ze raised his hand to stop his son, "Don't come against me now, if you think I pointed out the fear in your heart, then say to yourself, is this true." There is a very fundamental difference between men and women, and if a man is in danger, he can't let go. There is a saying that when you encounter fear, you either destroy the fear, or if you let yourself be feared. This means that men and women are different, they are afraid, but they are able to accept that they feel dangerous, and then they go about their business. Although they should be scared or scared after doing it, they will not refuse to admit the reality because of their uneasiness. Therefore, there is a reason why the matrilineal system can exist for tens of thousands of years, and the patriarchal system is now full of thousands of years. ”

Hearing his father tell him this, Wei Rui didn't mean to continue. Because Wei Ze had pointed out the facts and the truth at the same time, Wei Rui asked himself, and he also knew that what he was afraid of was not to pursue, but to fail in the end.

Wei Ze was a little unsatisfied, and he smiled: "I've told you since I was a child, either do it or don't do it, don't try." You try, you ask for results. And it turns out countless times that everything is a process. ”
