Ying Zhiming is anxious and worried, there is a certain reason, a girl in her prime, less than twenty years old, is so beautiful, and she is a female soldier that everyone envies, which man doesn't want to fight for it? If any of the army cadres take a fancy to it, won't his daughter-in-law, who has been optimistic about him since childhood, be out of play? Or Orchid behaves well in the army, what if she is promoted? He knows this girl too well, he has been high-minded since he was a child, and when the time comes, I am afraid that once she climbs the high branches, I will no longer have the place to be her father-in-law.

Because Ying Zhiming knows that everything will change with the change of the environment, and people will gradually grow up with the change of identity and status. Because of this, he was very worried that Fu Lanhua would one day be no exception. He didn't dare to hesitate any longer, on the one hand, he was anxious to write a letter to his son Ying Xiang, telling Ying Xiang about Orchid as a soldier, and asked him to write a letter to Orchid quickly, and on the other hand, he discussed with his wife and son, first went to talk to Fu Liguo and his wife, and he must determine this matter before Orchid left as a soldier.

Therefore, he and his wife came to find Fu Liguo and his wife, and as soon as they entered the door and saw Fu Liguo and the neighbors talking, the house was full of smoke, and a choking smell of smoke made him cough twice and hurriedly pulled out to the outhouse. Fu Liguo hurriedly greeted and said, "Lao Ying, come in and sit." ”

Ying Zhiming covered his nose and said, "Good guy, how many cigarettes have you smoked?" The smoke in the back room is too choking, I'm still in the outhouse. ”

The neighbors knew about the relationship between his two families, and when they saw that Ying Zhiming said that he would not enter the house at all, ordinary people could see that they must have something to say, so they all left with interest. Ying Zhiming's wife's name is Yu Juxiang, she doesn't seem to be a local, she speaks a little sloppy, she looks very thin, her body is not too good, there are many people in this house, how can she stand the miasma? So she was welcomed to another room by Lu Chunji, the mother of the orchid, and women always have women's topics to talk about.

At this time, Fu Liguo shouted: "Everyone is gone, come in." ”

Ying Zhiming opened the curtain and said, "Run away first, this guy is too choking." ”

"People come and go all day, can this cigarette be smoked less? It's not that you don't smoke, but you're afraid of choking? Fu Liguo smiled and asked, "How is it?" You're here, why don't we have two cups here? ”

Ying Zhiming also smiled and said, "Forget it, don't you know what I am about drinking?" Or do I not know you? The two of us drank less together, but we didn't drink much wine, but the food was clean, and we didn't drink it. ”

The two are both old comrades-in-arms, eating, drinking, and waiting, and the two families are never polite. Since you don't drink wine, you should drink tea, right? Fu Liguo shouted into the other room: "Orchid! Come and make you Uncle Ming'er tea! ”

As soon as the shouting fell, I heard the orchid answer: "Well, here it is!" ”

Ying Zhiming said impatiently to Fu Liguo: "You have it, we can drink tea and pour water, what are you yelling about?" ”

Orchid came in and said with a smile, "Uncle, what kind of tea are you drinking today?" I'll make it for you. ”

"Heh, haha, it seems that your dad still has a lot of tea varieties stored in this old thing, don't drink anything else, just bring a pot of jasmine tea, that thing can go to the fire." When Ying Zhiming saw the orchid coming in, there was a smile on his face.

Fu Liguo said: "Yes, yes, yes, I have already seen it, today your Uncle Ming looks angry as soon as he enters the door, and he should be given to go to the fire." ”

Fu Lanhua asked, "What's so hot?" ”

"Don't listen to your dad's nonsense."

"Uncle, my dad still has two buckets of dragon wells here, you can take one bucket in a while."

Fu Liguo said to his daughter: "Ouch, girl, why do you always turn your elbows out?" I finally managed to get two barrels of good tea, and you sent me half of this sentence first. ”

Fu Lanhua brought the teapot and teacup over with a smile, and said while pouring the tea, "What's yours?" If you don't give it to anyone, you have to give it to my uncle. ”

"Look at this girl, my uncle finally didn't hurt in vain." Ying Zhiming suddenly smiled from ear to ear, and said to Orchid: "Your father, hmph, is a miser." ”

"Uncle, that's not called stinginess, that's called slamming the door."

"Yes, yes, my girl is so right, hahaha......"

Fu Liguo scolded and said: "Damn, it's really a big girl, and I haven't done anything yet, I know that I have harmed her father by singing and harming with outsiders, go ahead, I don't need you here." ”

Ying Zhiming laughed and said, "Your dad is anxious again, go, you are busy with yours, let's just come by ourselves." ”

Fu Lanhua also smiled and said, "Okay, uncle, let's talk, I'll go to that house, and call me if I have something." ”

Fu Lanhua chuckled and turned to leave. Fu Liguo and Ying Zhiming were left, and the two sat cross-legged on the kang and chatted about the sky while drinking tea. Ying Zhiming asked: "Are you really going to let Orchid become a soldier?" ”

Fu Liguo said: "The child is going." It was *'s troops who came to our county to recruit soldiers, and I thought that this was also an opportunity, so I wrote a letter to *. ”

"What's going on? Did you pass it? ”

"I've seen it visually, and I guess it can be done, and it's not far from ten." Fu Liguo explained: "Two days ago, the comrades of the army recruiter and the county armed forces department came to visit the house, talked with Orchid again, and told him that the head of the army had called and tried his best to meet the requirements of the old comrades if the indicators were met. Do you think, can this thing be run? ”

"The people of the court have to be officials, and now, everything is prosperous through the back door, and even the soldiers are ......"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, I can go through the formal channel, didn't people say it? All the indicators must be met in order to be drafted. ”

"Come on, who are you fooling? Isn't that a phrase from the person in charge of military recruitment? Ying Zhiming sighed and said: "Orchid, this kid is smart and clever when he is young, he is top in the class when he goes to school, and he can't go wrong when he arrives in the army, and he is taken care of, it is estimated that he will be promoted in a short time, and he will definitely stay in the army and never come back." ”

"Hey, what kind of fuss are you sighing about? Aren't you happy about Orchid Tigan's promotion? Really. ”

"It's not that I'm unhappy, I'm worried that the agreement between the two of us will be yellow."

"What agreement do we have to make with you?"

"Hey, hey, you don't have a good memory, but it's not bad to forget."

"You brainless, what's the matter? Am I forgetful? ”

Ying Zhiming took a sip of tea, paused for a moment and then said, "It's really hard for me to say this, okay, since you forced me to do this, then I'll say it?" Don't worry. You forgot that the two of us had agreed, and when we have children, we will be in-laws. After so many years, because the orchid is small, I have been reluctant to mention it, you think about it, is there such a thing? ”

"Oh, yes."

"Haha, remember, right?"

"No, I forgot, do you have that?"

Ying Zhiming thought that as soon as he reminded Fu Liguo, he would understand this matter, but when he thought of Fu Liguo, he didn't admit it, he was in a hurry, he pouted and counted Fu Liguo, he put the cup to her and kicked the teacup on the table and said: "Okay, you old guy, you are a narcissus that doesn't bloom -- pretending to be garlic, do you want to repay the debt?" No wonder you haven't mentioned it all these years, you still pretend to be deaf and dumb when the children are so old, if I hadn't heard that Orchid went to be a soldier, if I didn't come to ask you, would you have to keep pretending? Say, you have to give me an explanation today. ”

Although Fu Liguo's temper is quite big, he is always so calm in front of Ying Zhiming, an old comrade-in-arms who has been friends of life and death for many years. Ying Zhiming himself is also an acute temper, Fu Liguo is one of his introducers to join the party, when the two chat together, there is no time not to joke or raise the bar, no matter who is in front of you, you are also an "old thing", and he respects an "old guy" in return. It embarrassed the juniors.

Besides, on weekdays, the two families never distinguish between you and me, and have always helped each other, no matter whose family's big or small affairs, the two are like brothers at critical times. For example, when Fu Liguo was unlucky, Ying Zhiming ran up and down to help, if it wasn't for Ying Zhiming, I'm afraid Fu Liguo's party membership would be difficult to keep, and he was still shouting grievances; If it weren't for Ying Zhiming's contact*, how could Fu Liguo have today's glory, and his daughter Orchid would not have been able to go to school and become a soldier so smoothly.

Needless to say, of course Fu Liguo knew this, but how could he forget about the marriage of his children that Ying Zhiming said? According to the customs of the local rural people, the man does not speak, how can the woman be embarrassed to mention this matter, won't that become a gift to the girl? It's so nice to say!

So Fu Liguo deliberately pretended to be deaf and dumb, and Ying Zhiming didn't mention it until today, at first he did feel a little sudden, but now he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, no matter how anxious you Ying Zhiming was, he still pretended to be nothing, squinting his eyes and slowly tasting the fragrance of tea one by one without hurrying.

Ying Zhiming hurriedly asked Fu Liguo for an explanation about the marriage of his children, and wanted a result and a conclusion. When he finished counting, Fu Liguo returned to normal, he pointed to the teacup slowly and said, "Well, this tea has only tasted a little bit now, well, this jasmine is fragrant, delicious." ”

"Hehe, you old fellow, what kind of garlic are you going to put for me?" Ying Zhiming was really anxious at this moment, he shouted loudly: "Hey, does what we two said originally count?" You can just talk! ”

He shouted loudly, and the old sisters who were resting in the house heard it, and Fu Lanhua said, "Mother went to see what I was arguing with my uncle again?" ”

Lu Chunji said: "Don't pay attention to them, they are like two donkeys, they bite when they get together, like chickens and crookets." ”

"What did my mother say?" Fu Lanhua got up and said, "Auntie, listen, it's arguing again, let's go over and take a look." ”

When Yu Juxiang heard this, she smiled and said to Orchid: "Your mother is right, they don't know what kind of pole they are lifting?" We can't interject when we go, let's talk about us, don't worry about them. ”

At this moment, I heard Ying Zhiming shouting: "Hey! I said, all of you, come here, we must talk about it today! ”

As soon as the mother heard this, she hurried over, and Lu Chunji saw that the atmosphere between the two was indeed different from the usual one, so she asked, "Why are you on the bar again?" ”

"Why? You ask him! Ying Zhiming twisted his face and lowered his head with his chin to drink tea Fu Liguo.

"Okay, well, he doesn't say it." But Fu Liguo just didn't speak, and Ying Zhiguo hurriedly said: "This is not an orchid, sister-in-law, I came here today just for the marriage of Xiangzi and Orchid, can it be determined." ”

"Huh? Are you two arguing over this? Fu Lanhua blushed and said, "Hmph, I ignore you." ”
