Chapter 96 Bringing Home with My Wife

After Bai Sheng sent off the president, considering that there was no war, he let the officers of the troops stationed in the DPRK take turns on vacation. Zhuang Lei, commander of the 1st Army, 1st Division, and 1st Brigade, was honored to be the first batch of officers on leave, and all officers enjoyed two months of vacation. After the capture of the Korean Peninsula, Zhuang Lei's troops were stationed in Busan, and with the expansion of the troops, Zhuang Lei was promoted to brigade commander from the position of regiment commander due to his outstanding military achievements, so he took his wife Eunji to the station. It is not a long-term solution for his wife to join the army, so Zhuang Lei decided to use the vacation to send his wife and children back to his hometown.

Their child is two years old and loves it. Although Yinji's Chinese is stumbling, she can basically express it clearly. Zhuang Lei, his wife and children, boarded a cargo ship in Incheon, and the destination was the port of Shanghai. Zhuang Lei is a native of Xiangtan, Hunan, so taking a train at Shanghai Port is the shortest trip.

On the Korean Peninsula, there is a saying that men in the south and women in the north are beautiful, which means that the men in the south are handsome, and the women in the north are beautiful.

Eunhime verifies this statement, she has a moderate figure, fair skin, a melon seed face, and slender eyes that are very attractive. As a result of following Zhuang Lei's garrison, the living conditions improved, and Yinji became more and more refined. People are clothes and horses, and Yinji wears trendy clothes with half-heeled leather shoes, which looks particularly charming. The Korean Peninsula was deeply influenced by the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, and many things from the Ming Dynasty were prominent, and the clothing of the Korean people obviously had the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty.

The Korean Peninsula is equally patriarchal, if not harsh, and deeply influenced by Chinese culture. Men are heaven, and the customs of North Korean women to care for men are not inferior to those of the mainland, and the heavy manual labor that should belong to men should be undertaken by women. This is different from Chinese women. It can be said that North Korean women have a fine tradition of hard-working and hard-working, and Zhuang Lei is deeply touched by this, so Eun-hee serves him in daily life. Almost down to the level of detail. After all, there are differences in culture and customs, and there are some things that make Zhuang Lei distressed.

For example, when a guest comes, Yinji serves respectfully, and even a little contrived in the eyes of outsiders, which makes the guest very embarrassed. After all, the guests who come are all soldiers, and there are no more rules and regulations, and boldness and casualness are the characteristics of soldiers. In addition, the guests brought their daughters. It was supposed to be accompanied at the table, which was the minimum courtesy. But Yinji is not, and never serves the table. Instead, they stand outside and are ready to be told. Many officers ridiculed Zhuang Lei, saying that Yinji looked like an official's wife and a maid.

Zhuang Lei's family lives in Xiangtan Xishui Town and belongs to a large family. The family has more than a dozen acres of land. My father also ran a tea plantation. In the town of Creek Water, it belongs to the upper class. Zhuang Lei has an older brother and three younger sisters. The elder brother inherited the family business and established a household, so Zhuang Lei has little responsibility for the family mission. In the year when the Northern Expeditionary Army occupied half of Heshan, Zhuang Lei asked to apply for the military academy and contribute to the Guangzhou Military Government. Although his father was dissatisfied in his heart, he admired Deng Zixuan and believed that following a generation of masters, his son would have a future in the future. Therefore, it was agreed that he should apply for military school.

Zhuang Lei has been keeping correspondence with his family and knows that the following three younger sisters have been married. But he hid his marriage from his family. He didn't dare to tell his family that he had married a North Korean woman. The old man knew that he had become a brigade commander of the Wehrmacht, and his worth had doubled. The glory of the war has made the people crazy, and there are people in the family who serve as soldiers, although the risks are accompanied, but the vanity will be greatly satisfied. Fighting for the country is greatly respected and loved by the people.

It should be said that Mr. Zhuang is in Xishui Town, and he is absolutely famous because of his son, and even the mayor of the town comes to visit and visit every once in a while. After Zhuang Lei landed in Shanghai, he sent a telegram to his family, informing him that he was already on his way home, and said that he had two months of family leave, and he wanted to surprise his parents, and the so-called surprise was naturally his wife and children. But when Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang heard that their son was back, they were overjoyed, and the old couple discussed, and the son was not too young, so they took advantage of the son's home visit to settle the marriage.

After the news of Old Man Zhuang marrying his son's daughter-in-law spread, it immediately caused a sensation in Xishui Town. All the women in the family who are waiting for the boudoir to come to propose. After the selection of the Bai family, the largest household in Xishui Town, won the bid, and the Bai family promised that if the marriage was promoted, they would marry 10 acres of fertile land and a tea house. Miss Bai is twenty-eight years old, ice clear and jade, and there is no problem with her appearance. The key is that the Bai family has a rich marriage, so that others will retreat.

The Bai family demanded that Zhuang Lei get married when he came back. Old man Zhuang naturally has no opinion, the words of the matchmaker, the order of the parents, the two sides exchanged eight characters, Zhuang Lei was still on the way, and the family began to get married. They were supposed to arrive at Xiangtan Station in the morning, but they arrived in the afternoon due to the delay of the train. Like an arrow, Zhuang Lei hired a caravan at the station, and when he arrived at Xishui Town, it was already dark. As they entered the town after dark, their whereabouts were not discovered.

In the courtyard of the Zhuang family's house, Mrs. Zhuang said worriedly: "Master, it should have arrived according to the date, and nothing will happen on the road!" "You can't say something auspicious. The son is an officer, and there will be no danger on the road. "Old man Zhuang thinks that Mrs. can't speak. The eldest son said: "Father, mother, now the capacity of the railway line is tight, and the delay of passenger cars is commonplace, and I think it must be that the train is late." If the second brother arrives in Xiangtan and it gets dark, maybe he will spend the night in the car. ”

Old man Zhuang was dissatisfied: "I was supposed to go to Xiangtan to pick up the station, but your brother said in the telegram that there was no need to pick up the station, saying that he wanted to give us a big surprise, how can this be reasonable, what kind of surprise is described as big?" "Dad, mother, maybe he was promoted again, and he deliberately hid it from us!" "What kind of official is not official, it is not in exchange for life. I'm glad he'll come back safely! Mrs. Zhuang is obviously more concerned about her son's safety.

"What do you know from a woman's point of view? What a glorious thing it is for the officers of the Wehrmacht to be now, and there is no such thing for our Zhuang ancestors. The son has a long face, even if he dies in the battle for the country, we can be regarded as dedicating our pure heart to the country, which is worthy of pride. "Mother, Daddy is right, without the second brother to protect the family and defend the country, can they have a good life today? Our days are getting better and better, and the credit is due to the second brother. Mrs. Zhuang sighed and said, "I understand the truth, but my mother is worried about his safety every day." After Mrs. Zhuang finished speaking, her eyes were a little red. The eldest daughter-in-law saw that her mother-in-law was sad and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her.

Zhuang Lei arrived in front of his house in a caravan, and he helped Yinji and the child out of the car and paid for the car. There are lanterns hanging in front of the house, the archway seems to be a little unfamiliar, Zhuang Lei looks around left and right, yes, this is his own house. Zhuang Lei couldn't help but pat his head and blame himself for being forgetful. My father wrote to inform me that the family had rebuilt the house last year, and the archway in front of the door was naturally different. "Husband, this is a good family!" Ginhime muttered. Probably seeing this magnificent mansion and about to meet her unknown in-laws, Yinji was a little apprehensive!

When Zhuang Lei knelt on the ground with Yinji, Old Man Zhuang, Mrs. Zhuang, and his brother and sister-in-law were all stunned.

Zhuang Lei kowtowed three times, then pulled up Yinji and said, "Father, mother, this is your daughter-in-law called Yinji, and this is your grandson." "Old Man Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang have shortened their brains. The boss pulled Zhuang Lei aside and said, "Brother, this is not a joke, when did you marry your wife?" Zhuang Lei smiled: "This is the surprise I gave you." I got married the year before last, and our children are two years old, so it's not a big surprise to be stumped. ”

Yinji saw the expressions of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and knew that she was an undesirable person, so she couldn't help but look at Zhuang Lei, meaning that she didn't tell her family. "Daddy! Mother! The daughter-in-law has entered the door, what's wrong with you? I didn't tell you, but ??????。 The brother and sister-in-law reacted quickly, stepped forward to take the child from Yinji's arms, hugged it to her mother-in-law and said, "Brother, don't mind my brother and sister, my father and mother didn't expect you to get married." Mother-in-law, such a big grandson came to you, it is indeed a big surprise. Maybe it was a blood relationship, the little guy stretched out his hand and asked Mrs. Zhuang to hug her, and Mrs. Zhuang took the child lovingly, with a mixed expression on her face.

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was very depressing, Mrs. Zhuang asked about Yinji with a strong smile, and Yinji either shook her head or nodded, so that Mrs. Zhuang couldn't adapt. Old Man Zhuang had a gloomy face and didn't say a word. After eating, Mrs. Zhuang instructed her eldest daughter-in-law to take Yinji and the child to rest, after all, the journey was tiring. After Yinji left, Mrs. Zhuang asked in surprise: "Lei'er, why is your daughter-in-law silent, can't she be mute?" "Oh, I forgot to tell you that she is North Korean and doesn't speak Chinese very well." Zhuang Lei's performance is understated.

Old Man Zhuang said with a pale face when he heard this: "Disobedience, it's just that you marry a wife privately, I didn't expect to marry a woman of different races, do you still have us in your eyes?" Zhuang Lei said lightly: "Dad, the president encourages marrying women of different races, saying that children born from distant blood are smart." "The president said something like that?" Old Man Zhuang's eyes widened. "Dad, I can talk nonsense about the president. When he was in the military academy, the president personally wrote the school motto, and one of them was that whoever can marry a foreigner wife is rewarded. Since I married a North Korean woman of a lower grade, I was rewarded with 200 silver dollars. ”

Zhuang Lei moved the president out, and Old Man Zhuang was speechless. But he suddenly stood up and said, "What can I do? What can I do? How do I explain to the Bai family? "Dad, what does my wife have to do with the Bai family?" Zhuang Lei was confused. "Lei'er, you are too careless, we know there that you have a wife and children. When I heard the news of your return, I consulted with your father to marry you. As a result, we were engaged to the Bai family, and the dowry was over. The day after tomorrow is an auspicious day. ”

Zhuang Lei said indifferently: "What's so difficult about this, explain the situation clearly, and the marriage will be postponed." "What you said is light, the two families are engaged and the whole town knows where you put my old face. Will I still have the face to gain a foothold in Brook Town in the future? If you go back on your word, who will still do business with us in the future. Old Man Zhuang sat on the chair and sighed. Dad, I will go to the Bai family tomorrow and explain the situation clearly, the Bai family is a scholarly family and will not be unreasonable. "Brother, you got married and had children, and your parents didn't know, do you think the Bai family can believe it?" Brother to the point.

Zhuang Lei thought about it, and felt a little tricky. "Brother, I have a way to conceal your marriage and children, marry Miss Bai into the family, and slowly tell her that when the time comes, the raw rice will be cooked and the rice will be fine. If the Bai family knew the truth, they would not be silent if they took care of their faces. (To be continued......)
