Volume 4 The Empire Strikes Back Section 28 The Soul of a Soldier [Part 3]
Liao Hongpeng left Wenzhou the next day, and said that he had sent his sister safely to his brother-in-law's house, and he could only be a light bulb if he stayed, so he was in a hurry to go back to the army. Tan Renhao didn't keep too much. The combat mission of the Imperial Submarine Force is very heavy, shouldering the battle of breaking diplomatic relations in the South China Sea and the Japanese mainland, and Liao Hongpeng is the best submarine captain, and his task is naturally not easy.
Tan Renhao and Liao Yingyu, the little couple, can also be regarded as living a quiet life. Rumors about the First Task Force and Tan Renhao are still circulating everywhere, Tan Renhao has gradually adapted to other people's discussions, he only asks for a clear conscience, and with the support of his family's fiancée, his mentality is also much calmer.
"I've heard my father talk to my eldest brother about you." After getting engaged, Liao Yingyu has been much gentler and is adapting to the role of wife. "Renhao, have you lost confidence in yourself?"
Tan Renhao was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed, he stroked Liao Yingyu's little hand as pure as white jade, and said, "With you by my side to support me, how can I not have confidence?" ”
"That's not what I meant." Liao Yingyu leaned on Tan Renhao's chest, "Does Renhao know why I chose you back then?" ”
"Looks like I chose you, right?" Tan Renhao gently hugged his fiancée, he felt that he was now the happiest man in the world.
"Because I know that you are the hero in my heart, you are the man who deserves my lifelong reliance and trust." Liao Yingyu got up, looked at Tan Renhao's eyes and said, "I don't like the kind of man who only plays tricks and only pleases girls, but he doesn't achieve anything." My father often said that a man should stand up to the sky, although I am not a man, but I want my husband to be the kind of man who stands up to the sky, the kind of man who can laugh at all challenges and hardships. It is the kind of man who can overcome all enemies and challenges because he can treat the enemy as an ant under his feet, can take difficulties as a challenge to train himself, and put everything in the present! ”
Tan Renhao let out a sigh. "Yingyu, I know what to do!"
Liao Yingyu smiled and scratched Tan Renhao's nose. "I knew you would say that, do you know what your biggest flaw is?"
"Downside?" Tan Renhao laughed: "Did you choose a fiancé with shortcomings?" ”
"Who is joking with you, you are not a god, and gods have shortcomings. Otherwise, how could there be so many immortals who commit taboos and destroy immortal strips? Liao Yingyu stared at Tan Renhao's eyes, "Your biggest shortcoming is to put everything in your heart, and everything is borne by yourself, never talk about your affairs with others, and never release pressure." Renhao: I know you're very strong, remember the first time we met? ”
Tan Renhao and Liao Yingyu met in the hospital, and Tan Renhao now knows that when he was in a car accident. Lying in a hospital bed. looked at the appearance of Liao Yingyu when he came in with a syringe.
"I knew then that you were a very strong and strong person. All the other hospitalized patients were taking advantage of the opportunity to approach the nurses. How can anyone like you. One day, I knew that I was holding this tome, as if I was afraid that others would not know that you were a student of the Naval Academy, and even a big beauty next to me rarely noticed! ”
Tan Renhao was stunned for a moment and immediately laughed. "Wife, why didn't I notice you? If we notice you, can I still know you? ”
"Humph!" Liao Yingyu shook his head, and then laughed too: "If you were like the other wounded, I wouldn't have ignored you!" ”
Tan Renhao hugged his fiancée, and now he understands. In fact, everything has fate, if it weren't for the car accident, he wouldn't have been able to meet Liao Yingyu, and he missed the opportunity to fill in the volunteer form, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get to the Fifth Fleet. If he hadn't had that, he would probably be a captain officer now, captaining a destroyer, providing anti-submarine cover for an aircraft carrier or escorting a convoy of transports while in battle.
"Renhao. Have you thought about it later? ”
"Later?" Tan Renhao gently stroked his fiancée's shoulder a few times, "Look, it's best if you can go back to the first task force, after all, the enemy hasn't surrendered yet, and the war hasn't ended yet." If ......"
"Didn't I say that you thought about what we would do in the future?"
Tan Renhao was stunned for a moment and immediately laughed. "Why do you want to enter the Tan's house in a hurry now?"
"I don't want it!" Liao Yingyu pursed her mouth: "If you don't invite a sedan chair and don't prepare a few boxes of dowry gifts, I won't enter your house!" ”
"And where are you now?"
Liao Yingyu was stunned and immediately stood up.
Tan Renhao grabbed his fiancée and said with a smile: "I'm also thinking about Yingyu." Why don't we make a pact? ”
"Agreed?" Liao Yingyu became curious: "Hmph, don't try to lie to me again!" ”
"Heaven and earth conscience, when did I talk about Renhao deceiving his wife?"
"Who's your wife? Now that we're just engaged, don't think it's okay to be unscrupulous when you get it! ”
"Yes, yes. Wife, I said the wrong thing, okay? Tan Renhao smiled and shook his head, Liao Yingyu's little girl's temper seemed to be forever unchangeable.
"What kind of engagement did you start talking about?" Liao Yingyu waited for Tan Renhao's answer.
"Actually, I've been thinking about our marriage." Tan Renhao coughed dryly a few times: "I'm thinking, if I marry you now, then I must make everything simple, isn't this a disadvantage to my wife?" And if you want to know, will I still be in the navy in the future? ”
Liao Yingyu burst out laughing. "You just think too much about everything, what kind of person do you think my father is?"
"Of course not, I'm just thinking that this is a major event in our lives, once in a lifetime, how to say it, we have to do it more beautifully, right?"
"Who knows when you change your mind, and when you won't ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, what kind of person do you think I'm in?" Tan Renhao glared at Liao Yingyu.
Liao Yingyu lowered her head, she also knew that she had said the wrong thing.
"So I guess how about we wait until the war is over before we have a wedding?"
Liao Yingyu was stunned for a moment and immediately said: "I don't do it, who knows when the war will end." If I play for five years and ten years, then I won't be yesterday's yellow flower? ”
Tan Renhao was stunned for a moment and immediately laughed.
"And there was a fight against Japan, and there was also Britain, France, Russia, and the United States. If it's the same as before, it's going to take decades and a hundred years to fight a dozen, then do you want to marry me? Liao Yingyu is not stupid, "I'm everyone's daughter, and people ...... Put ......"
Tan Renhao was excited in his heart, and immediately held Liao Yingyu's hand and said, "Yingyu, I promise that I will swear to heaven by Tan Renhao." I only like you in this life. I only love you, you are my only woman, if I dare to break this oath if I talk about Renhao......"
Liao Yingyu pressed her finger against Tan Renhao's lips. "Renhao. I believe in you, I know you're good to me, but it's going to keep me waiting......"
"Okay, let's change the date." Tan Ren Haoxun thought for a while: "Why don't I marry you after Japan is defeated?" ”
Liao Yingyu gritted her teeth and nodded slightly.
"Then we'll settle our minds." Tan Renhao hugged his fiancée. This is his happiest time: "When the time comes, I will not only invite eight sedan chairs to marry you, but also use the best medal as a dowry!" ”
"Well, I knew you would never let me down."
The little two laughed, and Tan Renhao can be regarded as setting a major life event for himself, and at the same time finding a new goal for himself. Even if it's not for anything else, in order to be able to marry Liao Yingyu as soon as possible. He will also fight the Japanese desperately. Perhaps Tan Renhao is missing such a short-term and somewhat selfish goal right now. Those who serve the empire, the nation, and the people are just big goals and big goals, and anyone who has a big goal must also have a small goal and a goal that brings benefits to himself.
"Brother...... Brother ......"
When the two of them were warming up, there was a shout from outside.
"Hey, it looks like we can't be quiet again!"
Liao Yingyu quickly stood up and sorted out her clothes: "Maybe there is something, you go out to see it first, I'll go out later." ”
Tan Renhao nodded, after all, he and Liao Yingyu are still only an unmarried couple, so they still have to avoid suspicion.
"Brother Chai is here." Tan Qinglian glanced curiously at his brother's room.
Tan Renhao pretended not to see his sister's gaze and hurriedly asked, "What is he doing here?" ”
"I don't know if Dad asked me to call you." Tan Qinglian's gaze returned to his brother's body: "Maybe it's coming to you, you go out and have a look." ”
Tan Renhao nodded, and waited for his sister to leave before he walked towards the front hall. He is no longer the beautiful admiral he was when he came back last time, and what is the purpose of Chai Jinbiao coming to the door at this time? Then he remembered what Lei Shaoqing told him about the Chai family, and now Ren Hao knew it.
In the hall, Tan Jingkang was chatting with Chai Jinbiao, who was dressed in jewels. When they were young, the two of them were good friends, but later, as the gap between the two families widened, the Chai family went to Songjiang for a period of time, and Tan Renhao regretted the marriage contract, and as a result, the Tan family and the Chai family did not have much contact. Since the last time Tan Renhao "returned to his hometown" as a commodore general, the relationship between the two families has been much closer, Tan Renhao is the second admiral from Wenzhou, and the identity and status of the Tan family are very different from before. But now there is a lot of rumors outside, and the rumors about Tan Renhao have become a big news, and Chai Jinbiao will naturally not be a good thing when he comes to the door at this time.
"Uncle Chai!" Tan Renhao still looked very polite: "What kind of wind blew Uncle Chai here?" ”
"Master Ren Haochai came to see you."
Chai Jinbiao stood up: "Nephew, I wanted to come to see you a few days ago, but I couldn't spare time because of my busy family. Today, I came to visit my nephew and visit my old friend Chai, if there is anything I don't want to do, I hope my nephew will forgive me. ”
"Uncle Chai, you're killing me." Tan Renhao smiled and sat down.
"Renhao, you talk to Master Chai, I'll go and have a look in the back." Tan Jingkang was also an understanding person, so he took the initiative to leave the hall.
The hall was also quiet, and Tan Renhao could see at a glance that Chai Jinbiao was thinking about something.
"The virtuous nephew is actually the gossip outside......"
"Uncle Chai doesn't know what happened to him today?" Tan Renhao didn't want to talk about those things with Chai Jinbiao, because many of them involved state secrets, and it was best not to talk about them.
"yes, it's actually unfair." Chai Jinbiao looked very uneven, "The so-called good minister of the virtuous nephew chooses the lord and serves ......"
"Enough!" Tan Ren stood up suddenly: "Uncle Chai, I have always respected you and respected you very much. I hope you take into account your identity when you say the second half of the sentence. ”
Chai Jinbiao was stunned for a moment and swallowed the second half of the sentence back.
"Although I don't talk about Renhao, I also know that I am an emperor. What is the small personal profit in the face of the national crisis? For the sake of the empire, I can go up to the sword mountain and down to the sea of fire, even if I am crushed to pieces, I will not complain at all. Tan Renhao glared at Chai Jinbiao fiercely, "What is that bit of gossip?" Shuzheng is not afraid of crooked shadows, doesn't Uncle Chai understand this truth? ”
Chai Jinbiao was choked, and he also realized that Tan Renhao already knew what he was going to say.
"Uncle Chai, you are also a subject of the empire, don't you even know this truth?" Tan Renhao sneered: "The so-called 'good ministers choose the lord to serve', you better not talk about it, otherwise when the time comes, everyone will feel embarrassed to even meet, which is not good for us, isn't it?" ”
"Virtuous nephew, I, Chai, finally realized it today." Chai Jinbiao stood up: "Today's talk, Chai Mou also opened his eyes, Chai Mou also hopes that the virtuous nephew can come out of the shadows as soon as possible, and now he is leaving." ”
"Please Uncle Chai, then I won't be far away!"
Seeing Chai Jinbiao go away, Tan Renhao sneered and sighed at the same time.
"Renhao, what is he doing here?" Liao Yingyu came to the hall.
"What else can be done?" Tan Renhao grabbed his fiancée's shoulder: "It's too late for people outside to hide from me now, and he took the initiative to come to the door at this time, what else can he do?" ”
"Didn't you think to ask clearly?"
Tan Renhao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.
"You're still too straight, wouldn't it be better if you could ask clearly?"
"Or you're smart, I didn't expect me to feel disgusted when I saw his face!"
Both of them laughed, and Tan Renhao also breathed a sigh of relief, at least he didn't get into any trouble.
