Chapter 249: The Child's Future
The dim light of the street lamp outside the window shone on the old man's face through the window, shining the swarthy face.
When the door was opened, he was very entangled in his heart, and he knew that it was not appropriate for him to say this by himself, who was a grandfather.
But for the sake of the Men Shaoting, for the sake of the successors of the Men family, the Men Glory still gritted his teeth and let out this old face.
As soon as the words came out, the old man's face showed an extremely unnatural redness, and a pair of eyes looked at the mulberry branch with expectation.
Sang Zhi didn't expect the old man to tell him this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the old man's mood in his heart, smiled faintly, and nodded, "Grandpa, you just don't say it, we also have this plan." ”
Hearing Sang Zhi say this, Men Guangrong's face suddenly blossomed, "That's good, that's good." If you have this plan, grandpa will be relieved. Grandpa is not worried about anything else, or he is worried that you are still young and don't want it, in case there is a child who doesn't want it because you are not mentally prepared or something. Hearing you say this, grandpa is really relieved, good boy, grandpa didn't misunderstand you! ”
The old man was a little confused and incoherent because of his excitement, and Sang Zhi understood the feelings of the old man and looked at him with a smile.
After a while, Sang Zhi suddenly thought of something, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Grandpa, can I also ask you for one thing?" ”
The old man was on the rise, and when he heard Sang Zhi say this, he said boldly: "What do you ask for, what do you have to do, tell grandpa." ”
Sang Zhi thought for a while before he said again: "Grandpa, I want to ask you, if our first child is a boy, can we not let him join the army when he grows up in the future." ”
The old man's heart was not very good, and Sang Zhi was extra careful when she said this, and her tone was very gentle, for fear of stimulating the old man.
But Sang Zhi also understands the old man's temper, and Men Shaoting's ideal when he was young was to be a free painter, but it was because of the old man's insistence that he was sent to the army.
Sang Zhi doesn't want his children to be like Men Shaoting in the future, living a life of adding blood to the muzzle of a gun every day and possibly losing his life at any time.
She doesn't want to be like Lin Yaran, worrying about her son's safety every day. One Shaoting is enough to make her scared, and if she adds one, she doesn't dare to guarantee that her heart can bear it.
So Sang Zhi took advantage of the old man's happiness to tentatively say his request, hoping that the old man would understand her and agree to her.
Men Guangrong obviously didn't expect Sang Zhi to have such a request, and was obviously stunned.
In his opinion, men from the family are born to join the army, and the army is the real belonging of the men of the family.
His uncompetitive son Menzheng did not become a soldier, which has made him very angry, but if it weren't for his wife's threat of death, he would have sent Menzheng to the army anyway.
This incident left a scar and regret in Menguangrong's heart that can never heal.
But now, the granddaughter-in-law proposed to herself the idea of not letting the child go to the army, which made him really unable to figure it out for a while, and he couldn't accept it.
Seeing that the door was glorious and silent, Sang Zhi was a little worried and a little anxious.
"Grandpa......"
Hesitantly, he called him again.
After a while, Men Guangrong slowly raised his head, looked at Sang Zhi and said word by word: "It's a little too early for us to discuss this topic, grandpa promised you that you will never force your great-grandson to join the army, but you also have to respect his own wishes, if he himself is willing to join the army, you don't want to block it too much, okay?" ”
Sang Zhi knew that this was the biggest concession the old man could make.
In fact, when Sang Zhi hesitated to open this mouth, he was ready to be scolded.
After all, the old man has been fighting horses all his life, and the army has become his first home, and the military uniform on his body is not only a symbol of his identity, but also a manifestation of his spirit.
A person like the old man, who regards the army as his home and is proud of the soldiers, will definitely be furious when he hears her say that she doesn't want her future children to become soldiers, and will point at her and teach her a hard lesson.
But the old man didn't, which surprised Sang Zhi, and at the same time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his uneasy heart finally let go.
Regarding the old man's request, Sang Zhi nodded happily without thinking about it.
In fact, no one can say what will happen in the future, as the old man said, it is too early to talk about what will happen in ten or twenty years now.
And Sang Zhi is also confident that he will train his child to be an elegant scholar and not let him have the slightest idea of joining the army.
Not in business, afraid of the treachery he learned, not to join the army, worried that his life would be unpaid.
The best future for the child in Sang Zhi's heart is to become a scholar, or simply become a teacher like his mother.
When he thought of the profession of teacher, Sang Zhi suddenly flashed the figure of his university teacher Men Shaoxuan in his mind.
Maybe in the future, his son will be admired by many girls like him, so she will be satisfied.
"Thank you, Grandpa. I promise you that in the future, if the child wants to, I will not stop it. ”
Men smiled with relief and nodded, "That's good, that's good." It's not early, you go and rest. ”
Sang Zhi got up and said good night to the old man: "You can rest early, good night grandpa, I'll go out first." ”
Then he turned around and walked out of the study gently, and when he closed the door, Sang Zhi raised his head and breathed a long sigh of relief, and his heart that had been tense suddenly relaxed.
walked up to the third floor briskly, entered his room, and was about to take a shower and change clothes, when Men Yuewei came in.
Sang Zhi took the pajamas and beckoned her to sit down very casually, "You sit down for a while, I'll take a shower and come back soon." ”
As he spoke, he took his pajamas and went into the bathroom.
Men Yuewei sat on the chair next to the bed, looking at the curtain in the old brother's room that looked very disobedient, and couldn't help laughing.
She never dared to imagine that there would be such a very young girl's pink color in her brother's room, and it was actually a Hellokitty pattern, and only Sang Zhi could have this ability to make her brother gladly accept this kind of thing.
After a quick shower and a change of clothes, she came out of the bathroom, and saw that Men Yuewei was in a daze facing the curtain in her room, and the corners of Sang Zhi's mouth couldn't help but rise, sitting on the bed opposite her.
"You haven't slept so late, what's wrong with me?"
Men Yuewei smiled faintly, "It's okay, I just haven't seen you for many days, I miss you, I want to chat with you." ”
Sang Zhi flattened his mouth, "Don't ask me about your brother, I really have nothing to say." ”
She was really afraid that Men Yuewei would ask her about Men Shaoting again and again, so she planned to preemptively block Door Yuewei's mouth.
Men Yuewei looked at her funny, and said leisurely: "Are you so afraid that I will ask you about my brother?" Did you promise him anything? ”
Sang Zhi sighed and glanced at her: "I said I don't know anything, you want to know that when your brother comes back, you can ask him yourself!" ”
Men Yuewei looked at Sang Zhi, suddenly his eyes stayed on her forehead, stared at her for a long time, and then asked seriously, "Did something happen to you and my brother?" ”
Obviously, the two of them went on a trip together, but only Sang Zhi came back alone, if Men Shaoting was temporarily assigned a task and couldn't come back with her, it would be reasonable, but what about the obvious scar on Sang Zhi's forehead?
Seeing that Men Yuewei was staring at his forehead for a long time, Sang Zhi woke up to the fact that he had been harassed in the bar he had "met" in Spring City, and when he was struggling to resist, he rolled down the stairs and hit his head on the leg of the table, hurting his forehead.
I can't see it when I'm usually covered by my hair, but I just took a shower, my hair is still wet, and my hair curtain is pulled aside, just exposing the scars on my forehead that haven't healed.
Complaining in his heart about his carelessness, Sang Zhi couldn't help but subconsciously touch the wound on his forehead.
"Sister Zhizhi, don't tell me that the wound on your forehead was accidentally knocked by yourself, you know, such an explanation is impossible for me to believe."
Sang Zhi was embarrassed, she didn't expect that Men Yuewei would also make a preemptive attack, and she didn't think of a good reason, but she was directly gagged.
"This ......"
Sang Zhi touched the scar on his forehead, and he didn't know how to deal with Men Yuewei.
Although Men Yuewei was not born as a soldier, under the influence of his grandfather and brother since he was a child, he has long been cultivated into a half soldier, and his sharp observation ability makes Sang Zhi feel oppressed for a while.
Sighing in his heart, Sang Zhi finally decided to tell Men Yuewei the truth.
"I told you, don't tell anyone else, Mom, Dad, Grandpa are not allowed to say it, no one can say it, I promised your brother to help him keep it secret."
Men Yuewei nodded and patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, I'm measured." So, that little girl you brought back from Liucheng is now living in your house? Taken care of by an aunt and uncle? ”
Sang Zhi nodded: "My father plans to wait for the results of the examination to come out, and then formulate a set of traditional Chinese medicine methods for her, which is safer, even if it can't cure her disease completely, at least it can play a relieving role, and there will be no side effects." ”
Men Yuewei smiled, "I didn't expect my brother to like to meddle in things under your influence, if this was before, he would definitely not care about this kind of thing." ”
"When your brother saw the appearance of that branch when he was sick, he remembered a deceased comrade-in-arms, and he was also touched by the scene."
Sang Zhi looked at Men Yuewei, their brother and sister have always had a good relationship, she thought that Men Shaoting would definitely tell her sister about anything on her mind, but looking at Men Yuewei's blank expression now, it seems that she didn't know that Men Shaoting had a good comrade-in-arms who intersected with life and death.
"Didn't your brother tell you?"
Men Yuewei shook his head, "No, he rarely tells me about the army, before you, the only person in this family who knows about his situation in the army is grandpa." ”
Sang Zhi nodded understandingly, too, there are only two soldiers in this family, the old man and the young man, so naturally there are more common topics between them.
"Sister Zhizhi, if there is anything you need my help with, just mention it."
Knowing that she was referring to the branch, Sang Zhi smiled and nodded, "I will, thank you." ”
Men Yuewei glared at her, "Be polite to your sister-in-law, go, I'm going to go to beauty sleep, I can't go on a date tomorrow with panda eyes." ”
Sang Zhi was stunned, "Dating?" With Lei Ming? Are you reconciled? ”
Men Yuewei smiled mysteriously: "Confidential!" ”
After speaking, he left a curious mulberry branch, opened the door and left.
