The jade girl successfully passed the two assessments, and went out to celebrate with her roommates at night, these few days of military middle school assessment, the soldiers do not need to train, they can come out to let off the wind, and go back to the camp at night before the lights go out and go to bed.

The identity of the jade girl is a small merchant in the capital, and today is to celebrate her, naturally she has a treat, she is also a newcomer to Yancheng, not very familiar, asked the veterans about the largest restaurant in the city, and took them there.

The roommates all said that he was wealthy, and sure enough, the capital was different, and the jade girl was modest: "Where can I say that I am wealthy, but we are difficult to come out of the barracks a few times a year, and the money in our hands is only in and out, so don't you spend more when you come out to let off steam, and stay in your hands to grow mold?" ”

Several people laughed and agreed, only Zou Kai couldn't laugh, and then found an opportunity to tell her, let her not be too loose at hand, even if she doesn't need her to send money back at home, she has to save some wife, and if she has children in the future, she will spend money everywhere, and she can't reach out to her parents anymore when she gets married.

The jade girl thanked him for thinking about her, and said that she had thought about it in her heart, and this time, it was impossible to let her pay every time she went out, she was young, she was a younger brother, and those of them who were elder brothers were not invited?

Zou Kai touched her head and said that it's good that you know, those families are not poor and can't open the pot, and they really treat you as the wronged boss.

A few people ate and drank enough in the restaurant, and there were two older ones who proposed to have some fun, the jade girl didn't react at once, and saw their obscene expressions, so she understood what they were talking about, she pretended not to know when she was young, Zou Kai was also decent, and took the hand of the jade girl and said: "I'm going back to roll call today, don't play too late, Ayu and I won't go." ”

The roommate smiled: "Ayu is still a child**, but you have to follow your brothers to learn a long time?" ”

Zou Kai covered the ears of the jade girls and scolded them: "If you want to go, go quickly, don't take Ayu with you!" ”

The Spring Festival was short, those people hurried to go, Zou Kai let go of his hand, and the jade girl asked him, "Why are they going?" Is it to gamble for money? Hmph, cry poor when you eat, and you will be rich when you go to the casino. ”

Zou Kai pursed his lips and said, "That's it, they're too bad, you can't learn from them, you know?" ”

The jade girl nodded, and asked Zou Kai again: "Why don't you go?" ”

"Of course I'm not going, children from poor families can't get drunk and wealthy."

"Oh, it's not that you don't want to go, it's because you don't have money to go, so if you develop in the future, are you a frequent visitor to these places?"

Zou Kai argued: "I won't, no matter whether you have money or not, some things can't be touched, there are also many dignitaries and powerful people who keep themselves clean, and there are also some people who still have bad habits, depending on the individual." ”

The jade girl nodded, Zou Kai is really a good boy, listening to the meaning of his words, is his family very poor?

Not long after they met, the jade girl was not good at inquiring about other people's family backgrounds, and when their friendship went further, he would tell her.

The hour is still early, they are not in a hurry to go back, it is rare to have time to come out for a walk, the two of them went to visit the streets of Yancheng, this night is heavy in the wind and snow, there are not many people on the street, but for the family there are still people out to set up stalls, the two of them are full of wine and food are not so cold, they walked around the street, a little cold, and found a tavern to sit for a while, ordered a stack of peanuts and sauce beef, a pot of sake.

Fang Cai was already very full in the restaurant, but Fang Cai was to fill his stomach, and the two of them were sitting opposite each other at this time, and the cold tavern was the most suitable for lyrical sorrow.

The jade girl looked at the wind and snow outside, thinking of her parents in the capital, she hadn't written a letter home since she came here, the Zhao family would definitely tell her father about her situation, but this was different from her own letter, she had to find an opportunity to write a letter, let Zhao He'an help her send it back, or wait for her to enter the cavalry camp, at this time she is not good to contact Zhao He'an.

"Ayu, what are you thinking, are you thinking about home?"

The jade girl nodded: "Yes, I miss my father, I am so big and go out for the first time, I hid it from my mother when I left, my father sent me to the car, my mother may not cry after knowing it, she is most afraid that I will suffer outside." ”

"Before the Chinese New Year, you can write a letter to go home, you can write a letter back to express your condolences, don't tell them about your fight, you can write about your entrance to the cavalry battalion, so that they can be proud of you."

The jade girl also planned to do so, and asked Zou Kai what about it, Zou Kai said that he missed his mother, but he would not write home, his mother had passed away.

The jade girl was silent for a while, and apologized to him, Zou Kai shook his head, and said some things about his family in a soft tone.

"Our family is actually not so poor, my grandfather is a showman, my father did a small business when he was young, he looked good, and there were a lot of dowries, so he married my mother, and then my grandfather passed away, and my father brought a pair of mother and son back when I was five years old, which is my stepmother and me...... Brother. ”

The jade girl was silent for a moment and asked, "Drag the oil bottle or ......?"

"It's not a drag oil bottle, it's my father's own son, my father and my mother had a head and tail with that woman before they got married, and that woman's origin was not on the table, my father had some family assets at the time, and wanted to take a girl who had read books as a façade, so he married my mother. My grandfather only had one daughter, my mother, and after my grandfather passed away, my father took the mother and son in, and then ...... It's not going to be easy for both of us. My mother died of illness when I was ten years old, and after she died, my father straightened the woman, and now several of our children are older and want to serve in the military, and my father gave money to my brother to exempt him from military service, as for me, staying in that house hinders the eyes of their family, they want me to go, how can they be willing to give me this money, it just so happens that I don't want to stay there, come to the barracks to pay off. So, I won't write back, just don't have that home, but I regret that I can't keep what my grandfather left to my mother. ”

Probably drank some wine, and the night was the most emotional time of the day, Zou Kai and the jade girl talked a lot, the jade girl felt a little sorry for him, Su Ri saw him cheerful and smiling, and was enthusiastic about everyone, it turned out that he suffered so much, but it was a pity that he was treated so unfairly, and he did not become angry and cynical, he was really a good boy.

"Don't regret it, when you have made some achievements in the barracks and return to your hometown, you must not let that family provide for you, and they will pay back everything they have taken from you."

Zou Kaihou smiled lightly: "Even if I have achievements, I don't want to see them again, I don't want to have anything to do with them, that's my father and stepmother, if I return to my hometown in fine clothes, they will come up, won't I still have to support them, and then there will be no clean days." ”

He thinks simply, even if the well water does not violate the river water for the rest of his life, his father raised him once, and what his grandfather left to his mother, even if he pays child support, he will be good or bad in the future, and it has nothing to do with that family.

He still doesn't know the laws of the Great Zhou, if he is an official, he must trace back to the source, how can he not recognize his biological father's clan, and then he is afraid that there will be skin rupture. The jade girl won't tell him for the time being, and she will talk about it when it really comes.
