"No, he doesn't want military merit, he only needs you to promise one thing, and that is to bet on this matter, as long as he can complete the task, please carry back the dowry that your son brought into my house."

When Song Jiayin said this, I was stunned, and then I finally understood why Hu Jinxiu looked at me from the time I came in, it turned out that I was his son's rival, looking at his appearance, he was extremely satisfied with Song Jiayin, and it was estimated that he would like to marry Song Jiayin home as a daughter-in-law, and without him nodding, his son probably didn't have the courage to carry the dowry to the Song family.

And when I was thinking about this, Hu Jinxiu looked very aggrieved, and Song Jiangshan looked elsewhere, obviously, he was not ready to get involved in this matter, rather than being sandwiched between his daughter and his good brother, it was better to be a hands-off shopkeeper. Of course, I think with his character, the bigger reason why he let it go should be that he is also satisfied with this marriage.

Thinking of this, although I knew that Song Jiayin would not agree, I was still a little uncomfortable in my heart, my woman was coveted, this person was not Su Jinghua's kind of garbage that was ruined by the golden flams, but a young talent who was more prominent than the Su family's status and recognized by the living Song Jiangshan.

I think that the person who can be recognized by Song Jiangshan must be very good, which makes me full of pressure all of a sudden. It's just that pressure is the driving force, no matter who comes to me, no matter how many competitors I have, and how good the other party is, I won't back down, because I have half the chance of winning than them, and this chance of winning is that the person Song Jiayin she identified was me.

When I secretly made up my mind, Hu Jinxiu suddenly spoke, he didn't look angry, and he didn't feel how face-saving it was to be divorced by Song Jiayin, a junior, but set his eyes on me, at this moment, I had a feeling that he must be planning something with bad intentions, and I suddenly felt like a big enemy.

Hu Jinxiu suddenly laughed and said, "Are you sure you don't want military merits?" If you can complete the task this time, according to your military merits, I can at least raise the rank on your shoulders by two more levels, do you know what this concept is? This is enough to make you proud in the Dongbei Special Forces Force, for soldiers, the most important thing is the honor on your shoulders, you can return home, you can use it as a capital to brag about for your life, don't you want it? ”

I smiled and said, "It sounds really tempting, and my blood is boiling." ”

Hu Jinxiu nodded and said, "Of course, don't forget your identity, your mother, she is still waiting for you to straighten her waist again, waiting for you to return to the Chen family, raising your eyebrows." ”

Originally, my sentence was just a joke, and I was going to tease Hu Jinxiu, but I didn't expect him to say such a sentence immediately after, and for a while, my mood was much heavier, and the whole person felt like being pressed by a big stone, heavy and depressed.

Song Jiayin was quite dissatisfied and said, "Uncle Hu, what are you doing here?" ”

Hu Jinxiu raised her hand and motioned for her not to speak, but continued to persuade me: "Don't you want your mother to raise her head? She was kicked out of the Chen family at the beginning, but it was a very humiliating thing, you don't want to take her back and fight for her? ”

I was stunned there, because I never thought that there was a Chen family in the capital, I remember Wang Wei said, my father is an orphan, how can there be a Chen family? Why was my mother kicked out? I don't understand, but I know that Hu Jinxiu is definitely not the kind of person who talks about it, so what he said must be true, thinking of this, I clenched my fists tightly and secretly swore that I must find out all this, definitely!

Song Jiayin looked at me worriedly, Hu Jinxiu also stared at me intently, I suddenly laughed, and when I smiled, he showed an incredible expression, probably because he couldn't understand why I could still laugh in this situation.

I said, "First of all, thank you to the chief for telling me this, let me know that I still have so many things to do, and secondly, I don't want military merits, because I believe that there are many opportunities for military merits, as long as the country does not abandon me one day, I will definitely have a day of meritorious service, so I think it is worth losing this opportunity to make military merits, but it can hurt the vitality of a strong competitor." ”

Song Jiayin laughed, Hu Jinxiu looked aggrieved, and said: "I don't mind playing with you, but even if my son brings back the dowry, it doesn't mean that he will give up, are you sure you want to lose a big one because of a small one?" ”

I smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't plan to kill a competitor so easily, the main thing is that you bring back the dowry, which will make Jiayin a lot less troublesome, for me, that's enough." ”

Song Jiayin smiled at me, and it could be seen that she was very satisfied with my answer, and Song Jiangshan also looked smiling.

Hu Jinxiu said: "Okay, in that case, the game begins." ”

Song Jiayin said sincerely: "Thank you Uncle Hu for being complete, Uncle Hu, Dad, then I won't bother you." By the way, Dad, Mom fried the food, and said that when you go over to eat, if you don't have time, give her a call. ”

Song Jiangshan suddenly stood up and said, "I have time, how can I not have time." ”

After speaking, he said to Hu Jinxiu: "Brother Hu, then I'll go first." ”

Hu Jinxiu nodded, I gave him a military salute, turned around and came out with Song Jiayin's father and daughter. After we left the Hu family's mansion, my mind kept echoing Hu Jinxiu's previous words, and my heart was like a river and a sea, rushing endlessly.

Song Jiayin seemed to know what I was thinking, and she whispered: "Don't think about it, Chen Ming, some things can't be figured out by thinking." ”

I looked at Song Jiayin, looked at her piercing watery eyes, and asked, "Do you know what the chief meant, right?" Is my background not as 'simple' as I know? My father, he is a member of the Chen family, and after he died, my mother was regarded as a disgrace to the Chen family and was swept away, right? So, what kind of existence is the Chen family? Why, why haven't I even heard of the Chen family? ”

Song Jiayin frowned, she looked at me and said, "You guessed right, but, I promised Aunt Wei that I would never tell you about this until I got her consent, she is for your good, I hope you don't let me be a person who doesn't believe in my word." However, I won't stop you from investigating this matter, but I hope you can distinguish the priorities, and everything will be said after your current task is completed, not to mention, if you go to investigate now, in case Bao Wen and the others find clues, I'm afraid you will expose yourself, this is a very dangerous thing, do you know what I mean? ”

I said I understand, I know everything should be based on the big picture, and I'm going to put this on hold for now. I don't know how grief-stricken my mother was when she lost her husband and son, and was kicked out of the house, the hateful Chen family is simply making matters worse, I hate them, I hate everyone in their family, and at the same time I feel extremely sorry for my stupid mother, she has suffered so many grievances, but she did not let my son support her, but endured everything silently, I am really sad and blame myself!

At this time, Song Jiangshan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned to look at me, with a strange look in his eyes, and said: "The chief is not the kind of person who likes to expose other people's shortcomings, I am afraid that his words are not only to stimulate you, but also to deliberately reveal information to you, there is no deep meaning, you must be careful." ”

I didn't expect Song Jiangshan to remind me, I was a little flattered, and at the same time felt extremely confused, if things are really as Song Jiangshan said, I don't understand, why did Hu Jinxiu remind me? What is his purpose?

"Thank you Uncle Song for the reminder." I said.

Song Jiangshan shook his head, looked at me, and said with some guilt: "I didn't choose to believe your father back then, and I didn't insist on washing away his grievances, do you blame me?" ”

I shook my head and said I don't blame him, I know that at that time, anyone who speaks for my dad will not end well, not to mention that the evidence is conclusive, he just wants to overturn the case for my dad, I'm afraid there is no way to turn it over, so I won't blame him, on the contrary, I am grateful to him, grateful that he is willing to believe the evidence I get, and grateful to him for believing that my father is a hero, not a traitor. I think that's probably the reason why he treats me well, and if he doesn't believe me, and thinks I'm a traitor, he'll do anything to get rid of me.

……

We went separately from Song Jiangshan, he went to Song Jiayin's small apartment to meet Qiu Shuzhen, and I was taken by Song Jiayin to a hotel in the suburbs. The hotel is nostalgic style, a row of old old houses is very charming, close to an acre of square pond, there is a vegetable garden at the door, which is a lot of vegetables and fruits in season, it looks particularly fresh, there is a chicken farm not far from the vegetable garden, a duck farm, there are two sheep that have just been killed at the door, in short, everything is full of pure natural taste, especially when a rain has just passed, the whole hotel looks like a splashed ink landscape painting.

Song Jiayin asked with a smile, "Do you want to fish?" ”

"Fishing?"

She nodded and said, "If you want to eat fish here, you can fish yourself, or you can go to the kitchen pool of the hotel to choose a fresh live fish. ”

I know that Song Jiayin brought me here, not because of the elegance of fishing, but because I felt uncomfortable and took me to relax. Grateful for her constant attention to my emotions and her intimate care, I naturally did not want to refute her kindness, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's compare and see who catches the most fish and is big." ”

"What if you win, what if you lose?" Song Jiayin's eyes were half-squinted, and her smile was playful with rippling brilliance.

I said, "You can do whatever you want." ”

Song Jiayin raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, the one who loses is responsible for cooking, and the one who wins is responsible for ordering, how about it?" ”

I nodded and said, "It's a deal." ”
