"It's an Air Force kid." Xiaomei added.

Jingyi was slightly puzzled by Xiaomei's statement. As soon as she entered, the young man sitting on the sofa immediately stood up, saluted her, and exclaimed, "Little aunt." ”

A young man who is extremely handsome, his stature is not high, because he has not grown up yet, but his face is clearly imprinted with the eyebrows and eyes of the direct descendants of the Tao family.

"Kirin'er?" Jingyi almost lost her voice. "Tao Zongqi!"

"It's me, little aunt." Tao Zongqi took off his hat.

Jingyi looked at him and was speechless.

But she looked at the military uniform on Tao Zongqi's body, "Lin'er, what are you...... He"

"My father supported me to get into the Air Force Flying School. Uncle Seven also agreed. Little aunt, I'll be a pilot. Tao Zongqi said with a smile. This handsome young man was full of pride and joy.

"But you're just ......," she suddenly became a little anxious, "how can your father and Uncle Seven agree!" How old are you? You are still at the age of studying...... And you're the only boy in the Tao family, they're ...... How could they! ”

Tao Zongqi smiled, a little shy.

is still vaguely the toddler who is on her knees and joking with her, already slender and tall, very similar to Tao Jun, and also has a little shadow of Fu Lizhen.

"Lin'er, ...... you" Jingyi was a little confused in her heart.

Because of the surprise of seeing Kirin in her mind, and the shock of being brought by this news, she simply didn't know what to do.

Looking at it like this, this child was very well raised by Tao Jun; Could it be that it would be too good that he would be a teenager and go to the army to go to war?

"Nope." Jingyi immediately said, "No, I'm going to talk to your seventh uncle...... We adults are the first to fight, you child! ”

Tao Zongqi smiled, grabbed her and said, "Little aunt, they all say that the country is in trouble, and the husband is responsible. Uncle Seven is the first to lead, how can I fall behind? Besides, I'm just a student now, and I can't touch an airplane yet. ”

"It's a student though,......" Jingyi frowned.

She had seen and heard the cruelty of war. The country has been at war for decades, and child soldiers are never new. When a large number of casualties on the front line need fresh blood from the rear to be pumped upward, age is no longer the primary issue. What's more, a hot-blooded young man like Qilin'er at the moment has long put the country above the individual......

Tao Zongqi said with a smile: "Little aunt, I only have a few hours off, and I have to go back immediately." I just went back to see my grandmother and little sister, and I just knew that you were back, so hurry up to see you. ”

Jingyi hadn't seen Qilin'er for many years, so of course she was reluctant to let him leave immediately.

Especially when it's so dangerous, I don't know if I'll ever see it again.

Seeing that she was worried, Tao Zongqi said: "The Japanese are clamoring to take all of China in one fell swoop, and of course we will not do what they want." I don't think this battle will end in a few months, I'm afraid it will take a few years. When the time comes, I will be able to come in handy. Rest assured, I won't embarrass the Tao family. ”

Jingyi wanted to say that what she hoped most for Qilin was not that he would not embarrass the Tao family, but that he could protect himself in the war. But in the face of this hot-blooded unicorn, she couldn't speak.

Jingyi held his arm and said, "Take care, Lin'er." I'm proud of you. ”

Tao Zongqi got up and saluted her.

When it was time to say goodbye, he hugged Jingyi.

He said, "Little aunt, in my heart, you are like my mother. Please take care. I'll be back safely. ”

Jingyi held back her tears and sent him away.

Tao Zongqi jumped into the jeep waiting for him. A group of young cadets as spirited as he was in the car, and among them was a handsome teenager, whistling at her.

Jingyi waved her hand.

She knows these Air Force lads.

When they really rise into the air on the battlefield, every time they fly, they are sure that there will be no return.

She gave them a flying kiss, waved her hand, and smiled.

They are children and will be heroes of this country......

She went back to the office and rummaged through the communication records for a long time, even the calendar cards, and did not find Tao Xiang's telephone 61 number.

She called Xiaomei to come in and asked, "Commander Tao's electric 61 words?" ”

Anita Mui thought for a while and said, "I'll figure it out." She walked over, picked up the microphone, and dialed the dial.

Jingyi sat down, listened to her turn left and right in the telegram 61 chapter, went around in circles, and finally asked the telegram 61 to the Fourth Theater Command. Xiaomei covered the microphone, listened, and handed the microphone to Jingyi.

When Jing Yi took it, a capable male voice in the microphone asked, "Colonel Staff Officer Peng Zhengkang." Please Mr. Cheng wait, I will ask Commander Tao to answer the call of 61 words. ”

Anita Mui withdrew.

Jingyi waited for Tao Xiao's voice to sound in the microphone, and immediately said, "It's me, Cheng Jingyi." I'm sorry, I shouldn't bother you about personal matters at this time, but I really can't bear it - how can you allow Lin'er to join the army? And to join the most dangerous Air Force sequence? Muyuki, he's only seventeen years old! What if something happens...... How can you be worthy of the Tao family, his father and mother! ”

After she finished speaking, she deducted the 61 words of electricity heavily. For a long time, he didn't move his hand. I used too much force, and my palms were numb and painful.

It is not difficult for her to imagine Tao Xiang's face on the other end of Chapter 61, I'm afraid it won't be better. But she was so uncomfortable, her heart seemed to be squeezed by something, and she always had to find someone to lose her temper......

"Xiaomei, come in." After Jingyi calmed down, she let Anita Mui in, "Tomorrow's meeting, add an item to the discussion." We are a church hospital, and we are in the concession, and in extraordinary times, we must be prepared in advance to receive civilians and wounded troops. ”

"Yes, Dean." Mei Yanchun nodded, "Dean, there is a lawyer surnamed Ding waiting outside to see you." He didn't have an appointment. I asked him to make an appointment to come back, but he said he had something important to see you. If you don't see him, let me mention a name to you, Chen Wei. ”

When Jingyi heard the name, she suddenly remembered it and said, "Please let him in." ”

In a moment, Anita Mui brought in a gentleman in a long shirt and hat. As soon as the gentleman entered the door, he took off his top hat, bowed deeply to Jingyi, and said, "Hello Dean Cheng, contemptible Ding Jiacheng." ”

Jingyi stood up and said, "Mr. Ding, please take a seat." ”

She invited this elegant gentleman to sit down, and after Xiaomei came in with tea, she asked, "What does Mr. Ding have to do?" ”

"Entrusted by Lawyer Chen, I came to see President Cheng." Ding Jiacheng said, taking out an envelope from his leather bag, "This is the entrustment agreement signed by Dean Cheng and Lawyer Chen at that time, and the things entrusted to him for safekeeping. When Mr. Chen heard that President Cheng had returned to China, he should have come in person, but he contracted an illness in Hong Kong a few days ago, so he had to entrust me to transfer it to President Cheng. ”

Jingyi took the envelope and opened it, which contained a yellowed agreement and a velvet bag.

"Before I left the country, Lawyer Chen had disappeared. After returning to China, I also asked someone to inquire about his whereabouts, but the search was unsuccessful. Jingyi's mood fluctuated at this time.

After lawyer Chen was in distress, he was fortunately rescued by Commander Tao in time, and his family left Shanghai. This is a handwritten letter from Mr. Chan to you. Ding Jiacheng took out another letter and handed it to Jingyi, "Lawyer Chen said that he has finally lived up to Dean Cheng's trust over the years. ”

"It's a matter of trouble for him. Please convey your apologies and greetings on my behalf. I will thank you in person in the future. Jingyi said.

"Lawyer Chen repeatedly asked me to tell Dean Cheng not to take it to heart, this is his business. It's all caused by the Japanese, and it has nothing to do with you. He had to thank Commander Tao for keeping it safe. If it weren't for Commander Tao, he wouldn't have been able to fulfill your trust anyway. After Ding Jiacheng finished speaking, he looked at the time, "Dean Cheng, I have conveyed all the instructions given to me by Lawyer Chen. I won't delay you. ”

After he finished speaking, he got up to say goodbye, and Jingyi personally sent him out.

When she returned to the office, Mei was cleaning up her teacups. Seeing her eyes slightly red, Xiaomei couldn't help but be stunned and exclaimed, "Dean? ”

Jingyi nodded and went to work as usual. After dealing with all the matters at hand, he said to Xiaomei: "Accompany me to the bank." ”

Jingyi and Flawless went to visit Suixin at No. 6 Gisfield Road the next day. Mrs. Tao and Er An are both at home.

In the past, although Mrs. Tao was not warm with her, for the sake of Suixin, the atmosphere was finally harmonious. As soon as she entered the door today, Jingyi felt that something was wrong. Flawless was also aware, waiting for the time to serve the tea, quietly gave Jingyi a look, and whispered: "I'm afraid there is something." ”

Sure enough, Mrs. Tao and Er An came out to meet the guests, and after greeting each other, Er An took the initiative to ask Jing Yi if she had seen Qilin'er.

Jing Yi asked and said, "Lin'er has come to see me. ”

When Mrs. Tao heard this, she said, "I have learned to cut first and then play." Without consulting me, he sent his son to the Air Force Flight School. This is good!"

"How could Makiyuki agree......" Jingyi said.

Of course, he didn't agree at first, but he supported it. Besides, Lin'er has already signed up for a physical examination, so she said to her family, where did you twist it? Is it really to lock him up at home? Er An said and shook his head, "I admire the regent, and I also have to admire the seventh - the generation of the Tao family, just this one boy, they can approve!" ”

Mrs. Tao said: "To say, Lin'er really looks like a man from the Tao family, with blood. ”

She fell silent.

Jingyi and the others were also silent.

I all remembered Tao Si......

After a long time, Er An said: "Mother's words are extremely true. Are you still angry? Don't be angry. Kids have kids' thoughts. ”

Jingyi listened to this and looked at Er'an.

Er An picked up the teacup and said: "Don't talk about Lin'er, born in the Tao family, he never thought about not wearing a military uniform since he was a child, even my family, and now they are also clamoring to join the army." Yanxing has done a good job in the British branch, and has already sent a telegram back. If the war continues to develop, he will return to China to fight. I told him to work with peace of mind, and he also told me for example, General Shi Jingchang resolutely returned to China to serve, and even his eldest daughter, who was still studying in England, was recalled to China. He is like this, let alone Yan Lang Yanbin...... Mrs. Kim, don't laugh, the children are older, and parents can't control it. ”

Flawless hurriedly said, "No." It is Mrs. Fu who teaches her children well, and the Tao family and the Fu family also have this tradition and precedent for serving the country, and at this time the children will practice it. ”

Er'an shook his head, drank tea, and talked to Flawless and Jingyi.

At this time, Er'an only had his second son and youngest son by his side, and they were all already studying in Shanghai. Eran asked them to transfer to Hong Kong or the United States, but they planned to join the army. Mrs. Tao was worried because her only grandson, Qilin'er, had been sent to the Air Force, and she was upset by the choices of these grandsons - she had lost her second son, a family of three, and a son, a grandson, and a son-in-law who were contributing to the country, and she really didn't want this list of her to be stretched again.

Er An persuaded his mother: "At this time, you can't just keep their blood from being swayed. I am very happy that they have this patriotism. Even the guns respect their thoughts. ”

"It's all you, respect and respect, you want to be free and want the people, you see that now, you are so free that you don't care about the opinions of your elders, and you don't even care about your own life......" Mrs. Tao frowned, her face a little ugly. At this time, it happened that Yan Lang and Yan Bin came back from outside and came to meet the guests. Mrs. Tao saw them, "Lao Qi is at the forefront, that's it, he has always been like that; But the boss is in the northwest, but his proposition is firmer than that of him, who is on the front line, and his son, who has not even grown hair, would rather be sent to the army! These children are still young and know what bloodshed and sacrifice are. Yan Lang, Yan Bin, didn't you see that your seventh uncle was injured, and even his ears were almost deaf? Until now, I am still tortured by shrapnel in my body from time to time, and I can't sleep when I get in pain! ”

Mrs. Tao said loudly.

Jing Yi's heart sank when she heard this.

When Er An saw that his mother was angry, he couldn't persuade him; Although the two children did not dare to refute in front of their elders, they showed stubbornness in their silence. Er'an waved at them and told them to go down first, and then said to Jingyi and Flawless, "I'm so sorry. The old lady doesn't treat you as outsiders, and she doesn't shy away from getting angry. ”

"It's okay." Flawless hurriedly said.

Jingyi didn't make a sound.

As soon as she saw Yan Lang and Yan Bin turn around, a small figure appeared at the door of the living room...... It's satisfying. I don't know what the two cousins were talking about, the two young men laughed, and one of them stretched out a hand, took the little cousin's hand, and let her swing for a while...... Then I smiled very happily.

Er An poured tea for his mother and said with a smile: "Your old man is also very good at talking every time, which time didn't you fulfill our thoughts?" ”

"Speaking of having your hearts come true...... It's still mine! Mrs. Tao thought of her granddaughter, and when she turned around, she saw it. She clapped her hands and called Suixin over, glared at Er'an, and said, "I can't stop them." They may not be sure of my words. But I have to say that when children have no enthusiasm, they should pour cold water on it. Who said that in the rear, it is not to contribute to the war of resistance? ”

"Where did they listen? Their schools are going to retreat to the rear, and they don't want to retreat with them. Er'an frowned.

"I really don't know what to say." When Mrs. Tao said this, she tilted her head to look at Suixin, and said, "Fortunately, she is still young, and she can still stay by her side...... What's so good about raising children and raising daughters, in the end no one will listen to you. Huh, huh? ”

"Mother," said Er'an with a smile, "we can't teach the children like this. ”

"Grandma, don't be angry with Cousin Lang and Cousin Bin......" then climbed onto the sofa and stuck to Mrs. Tao. The little face wrinkled, a little pitiful, "Grandma is angry, and the girl is not happy." ”

"Ouch, ouch...... Isn't it happy either? Mrs. Tao rubbed her chubby face, listening to her, her heart was about to melt. Well, grandma is not angry. ”

"Really?" Then he hung his heart beside Mrs. Tao and asked.

"Really." Mrs. Tao said, hugging her heart tightly and swaying......

Jing Yi looked at Mrs. Tao, but she was actually not very angry. Decades of turbulent days have passed, what battle has she not seen? It's just that in the past, it was warlords and civil wars, but now it is a concerted defense against foreign enemies. In the same way, generations of men from the Tao family participated in the war. They fought bloodily, and it was the women of the Tao family who were afraid...... Thinking like this, she can also understand Mrs. Tao's hardships over the years.

Also, if you want to deal with your grandmother, you can get twice the result with half the effort just by being coquettish. It can be seen that the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren is indeed deep.

Mrs. Tao turned her eyes to Jingyi and asked, "Nan Nan said that she missed her grandfather today, should you take her to Nanjing?" ”

Jingyi was silent and looked at Xiao Suixin.

Then he said, "Mom is very busy. If she doesn't go, it's okay for me to go myself. ”

"How can you go on your own?" Mrs. Tao looked at her granddaughter and laughed.

"Yes. Mother Fu will accompany me. In the past, my uncle also asked people to pick me up. Then she sat on her grandmother's lap and said methodically.

The adults were silent, and after listening to her, Er An looked at Jingyi and asked, "I heard that Uncle Cheng has been unwell recently?" ”

Flawless took the teacup and glanced at Jingyi.

Jingyi nodded.

"Could it be that you don't want to go back yet?" Mrs. Tao asked with a frown.

Er'an was also taken aback by her, and hurriedly said, "Mother! ”

"Take the girl back. How you settle accounts with him is your business. Nan Nan is his granddaughter...... You still come to us today, and you don't want to think about it, without his decision back then, where did you come from? Now that you have a daughter, you should go back and see him. Mrs. Tao said with a straight face, as if she was a little happier herself. Sui Xin sat on her lap, and at this time he was climbing her neck, looking at her silently. She looked at Suixin's big eyes, her heart softened, she patted Suixin's back, coaxed, and then spoke in another tone: "Come, Nan Nan and grandma go wash your hands, come back and eat cake......"

Sui Xin followed her grandmother very obediently, and when she turned around, she quietly winked at Er An and Jingyi while her grandmother was not paying attention. Er'an was closest to her, and he raised his hand to slap her little buttocks. When they were far away, Er An said, "The old lady really can't do without this child." ”

Jingyi nodded.

Mrs. Tao was not polite to her at all, although she spoke now. She also knew that she was going to use this way to force her to go to Nanjing.

"Miss......" As soon as Jingyi spoke, Er An smiled.

"It's okay to call me aunt with the girl, I'm so polite, it's hard for us to talk to you." Eran said.

"Auntie, I want to take Nannan to Nanjing." Jingyi said. She had to go, and there were some things she had to talk to her father about in person.

"You can go at any time. The things have been packed up a long time ago. Eran said.

"I'll be back in a few days, let Madame rest assured." Jingyi said.

Er'an nodded.

Flawless also smiled on the side and said, "Finally, you are willing to go." My heart has been hanging for the past two days. ”

"Mom," Sui Xin ran over, threw herself on Jingyi's lap, and asked her with a little face, "Is it okay to stay and eat at night?" Grandma said I could invite you to stay for dinner. ”

"Still not ready to say yes?" Flawless chuckled.

"Okay." Jingyi nodded.

Then he shouted "I'll tell my grandmother" and ran away.

Er An only said at this time: "Lao Qi may come back for dinner in the evening." Just came back from all over the world and said that if things go well today, the seventh will come back to have a meal with us. ”

Jingyi was stunned.

Flawless smiled when he heard this, and said, "Then I'll go back first, and I won't accompany you." I'll have to meet some friends with your brother-in-law in the evening. They are all going back to the United States after a while, and they may not necessarily make an appointment to go together. ”

When Er'an heard about it, he chatted with Flawless for a while.

When Flawless left, Er An and Jingyi sent her out together.

As soon as the flawless car left, Er An saw that it was still early, and was about to pull Jingyi for a walk outside, when he suddenly heard the sound of a car and a military jeep coming, Er An said, "The seventh is back." ”

Jingyi didn't expect Tao Xiang to come back so early.

Until the car stopped in front of them, Tao Xiang got out of the car and greeted Er'an, she was still in a daze.

Tao Xiang was talking to her sister and nodded to Jingyi - she was a little uncomfortable. He explained to his sister that he could only stay at home for two or three hours—Er An said that you should walk around Jingyi's garden, and I would go to the kitchen to see how dinner was prepared.

Er'an said without waiting for Tao Xiang and Jingyi, and went straight to the big house.

Jingyi wanted to follow, but felt that it was too traced, so she couldn't help but look at Tao Xiang a little embarrassed.
