Afternoon.

Jiang Fan came to the provincial capital, the shop of the eldest brother Jiang Long.

It was found that the shop door was closed.

It says that the business will be closed for two days.

"Huh? Isn't it open today? ”

Jiang Fan was stunned, thought for a while, he directly bought some gifts and went directly to Jiang Long's rented residence.

In this place where every inch of land is expensive, let alone buying a house, it is renting, and the worse ones require nearly 1,000 yuan.

To Jiang Fan's surprise, the place where Jiang Long lived was not too bad.

Although it is an old community, the rent is not less than three thousand.

Jiang Fan followed the address given by his parents and came to the eldest brother's gatehouse.

There was a knock on the door.

The door was quickly opened.

A man in his thirties saw Jiang Fan and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Jiang Fan was stunned, looked at the door number, and made sure that it was the residence of the eldest brother.

"Hello, may I ask, Jiang Long, do you live here?"

"Oh! You're looking for Lao Jiang! He lives here, and you are? ”

Jiang Fan said: "I'm his younger brother, come and see him." ”

"Brother?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, "I remember, Lao Jiang told me that he has a younger brother who is an officer!" That's you, right? ”

Jiang Fan smiled slightly and nodded, "Does he live here?" ”

The man said, "It's to live here." He went out, though. ”

"We share a house together."

"Come on! You come in and sit down! ”

The man opened the door and let Jiang Fan in.

"Thank you!"

Jiang Fan went in with the things he bought for his eldest brother, then put them on the table, took out his cigarette, and handed it to the man.

The man was also unkind, and took it with a smile: "Look at you like this, it's right to be a soldier!" ”

"There are also many people in my hometown who are soldiers, just like you, tanned, but extremely strong! Hehe~"

Jiang Fan said with a smile: "No way, the training of the troops is hard, and it is exposed to wind and rain every day." It's strange if it's not dark. ”

"By the way, where did my eldest brother go?? I went to his shop and it said it would be closed for two days. ”

"I thought he was resting at home, so he came over."

The man said, "I'm going to receive his father-in-law." ”

"Husband?"

Jiang Fan was stunned.

The man said, "What? Your eldest brother has found a girlfriend, don't you know? Oh! Also yes, you're in the troops. The troops are not well-informed and it is right not to know. ”

"He talked about a girlfriend. Although your eldest brother doesn't have any skills and doesn't make much money, he is honest, responsible, and willing to endure hardships, but many women like him. ”

"But he just liked the civil servant. Alas. You say, now, civil servants have a high vision, even if that girl doesn't care about your eldest brother's education and work, but her parents must not agree! ”

Jiang Fan was curious: "How do you say this?" Can you tell me more about that? ”

The man pulled Jiang Fan to sit down, and while smoking, he said: "You are his younger brother, then I'll tell you about it, anyway, I think that marriage is also a matter of being the right person." ”

"You say, how dare people like us who live at the bottom of the big city have the luxury of looking for college students, civil servants, white-collar workers, and the like."

"It's good to get a wife."

"But your eldest brother didn't listen, so he recognized the civil servant. In the end, it is not surprising that the parents must disagree. ”

"I have come to the door many times to ask your eldest brother to stop pestering others, and your eldest brother also wanted to give up, but that civil servant girl is really good, she has true feelings for your brother, and she doesn't mind your eldest brother's work and income, and she wants to be with your eldest brother in life or death!"

"In the end, your eldest brother has also strengthened his determination. In the end, the parents of the civil servant girl could not separate the two, so they could only agree to be together. ”

"But there is one condition, which is to let your eldest brother get rich. Because they have only one daughter. I heard that the parents of the civil servant girl are both physical. ”

"Father, it's still the leader of a district in our provincial capital! Mother, also a university teacher! In this kind of family, it is impossible for a daughter to find a man to marry. ”

"Money?"

Jiang Fan's eyes narrowed, "Did my eldest brother agree?" ”

The man said: "Of course your eldest brother won't agree, so, no, make a meal, and plan to ask for it again." ”

Jiang Fan looked at the time, "How long has my eldest brother been out?" ”

"It's an hour, it should be almost the beginning."

Jiang Fan said: "Do you know where the hotel he is ordering?" ”

The man said, "At the Regent Hotel!" It was a relatively large restaurant in our provincial capital, and one meal could eat up half a month's salary. Your eldest brother also made a bloody contribution for the sake of that civil servant girl. ”

Jiang Fan nodded, "Thank you!" I'll go first. ”

The man shouted, "Are you going to find your eldest brother?" ”

Jiang Fan nodded, "As his younger brother, I always have to go over and have a look." ”

"Thank you!"

After going downstairs, Jiang Fan didn't call his eldest brother directly.

Instead, drive straight to the Regent Hotel.

"Uncle, I toast you!"

In a private room.

A man in his early thirties said respectfully to a man in his fifties who looked a little elegant.

Zhou Chaonan waved his hand slightly, "Forget it, I drank a little too much at the party last night." I won't drink it today. ”

A graceful and luxurious woman next to her said directly: "Jiang Long, how have you considered the suggestion we made?" ”

"Mom!"

Zhou Hua frowned slightly and said, "In these years, who is still the son-in-law above!" Can you not embarrass Jiang Long? ”

The woman whispered, "Why not?" Isn't your Uncle Zhao's family in our community a door-to-door son-in-law? ”

"We are your daughter, if you find a better condition, we will admit it. But Jiang Long ......"

As she spoke, the woman glanced at Jiang Long with mocking eyes, and Jiang Long bowed his head slightly in shame.

Zhou Hua said: "Mom! Can't you trust my eyes once? ”

"From childhood to adulthood, you all have to take care of my business! Studying, making friends, cram schools, universities, majors, and even going out of society, I have said, I don't want to be a civil servant, you have to let me take the exam! ”

"Now, you have to take care of my marriage! Can't I just make a decision myself? ”

"Yes! Jianglong is not a high diploma, only junior Chinese. But you know what? Jiang Long also likes to read, okay? ”

"His studies were also very good in junior high school. But it was because he was the eldest son, his family conditions were relatively poor, and he needed to take care of his younger siblings at home to study, so he chose to drop out of school! ”

Even if he is so busy working every day, he will study on his own and get an off-campus university diploma! Doesn't that prove his self-motivation? ”

"I believe that Jiang Long will definitely get better and better in the future, do you believe that my daughter has a good eye for people?"

"Trust you?"

Mother Zhou sneered: "If it weren't for the fact that I was in charge of you from childhood to adulthood, you would have tattooed at a young age with those outside now, and go out drinking and clubbing every day!" ”

"Would you have the life you have now? Your dad and I worked so hard to train you so hard, what are you for? ”

"Isn't it just so that you can grow up and have a stable job and a stable life?"

"It's good that you graduated from college, you are a civil servant, and you have a good future, so you actually chose ......"

Mother Zhou's voice stopped, still saving Jiang Long a little face, but she still continued: "Also, Jiang Long, what's the use of you taking an off-campus college diploma?" ”

"Which company, which unit, will recognize such a diploma now?"

"I don't deny that you have an attitude to learn knowledge, and it doesn't matter what exactly your reason for dropping out of school. I only know that your current job, this income, we, as parents, will not agree to you being with my daughter! ”

"If you have to get married, you can, you can get rich! The children born must also have our family name, otherwise, this marriage, unless we die, will never agree! ”

"Mom!"

Zhou Hua's eyes turned red instantly, and she looked at Zhou Chaonan with balloons, "Dad...... You ......"

Zhou Chaonan also said expressionlessly: "I agree with your mother!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Long, who had been bowing his head with low self-esteem, "We don't want to waste time either, so we'll give you ten minutes to think about it." Is it a breakup, or a breakup! It's up to you to decide! ”

Jiang Long, who was sitting opposite them, also heard the resolute intention of Zhou Hua's parents.

He looked at Zhou Hua with great embarrassment.

Zhou Hua also cried at this time.

What can she do as a daughter?

Jiang Long is struggling.

Of course he didn't want to.

Who wants to be pointed at the backbone for the rest of their lives and say that they eat soft rice?

Moreover, if you really get into it, can your parents still raise their heads and be people when they are in the village?

But Zhou Hua's affection for himself is real.

He couldn't imagine what impulsive things Zhou Hua would do if the two were really separated.

I don't want to hurt Zhou Hua's heart because of this.

So, he's struggling.

It's tormenting.

And just when Jiang Long really didn't know what choice to make.

A voice came in.

"I'm sorry! The people of our Jiang family will not be in trouble! ”

The voice fell, and the door to the box opened.

"Who's talking?"

Zhou Chaonan and Zhou's mother turned their heads to look.

Jiang Long and Zhou Hua also looked over.

I saw a young figure appear at the door.

"Xiao Fan!"

Seeing Jiang Fan, Jiang Long stood up in surprise and ran towards Jiang Fan.

"Brother!"

Although it was the first time he met, the feeling that Jiang Long gave him was extremely kind.

In the memory of the original owner, Jiang Long was really good to his younger brothers and sisters.

Jiang Long gave Jiang Fan a bear hug, then pinched Jiang Fan's arm, and said with a smile: "Xiaofan, you have grown taller and stronger!" ”

"Hehe, not bad! It seems that the food in the military school is very good! ”

Jiang Fan did not tell his family that he had left the army two years ago.

Therefore, they all thought that they were still studying in the military academy.

"Why didn't you call your eldest brother in advance when you came back?"

Jiang Fan smiled: "Didn't you want to come over and surprise you in person." ”

"I also came home two days ago. I came out today to see you and my little sister. ”

"Good, good!"

"Big brother will be fine tomorrow, go with you to find my little sister!"

"Little sister will be very happy if she knows that you are back!"

At this time, Zhou Hua also came over.

Jiang Long hurriedly introduced: "Come, Xiaofan, let me introduce you, this is Zhou Hua, is ...... It's ......"

Jiang Long didn't know how to introduce it all of a sudden, but Jiang Fan smiled calmly: "Sister-in-law is good!" ”

Zhou Hua also said politely: "Hello! Xiao Fan! ”

"I've heard your eldest brother talk about you, saying that you are very competitive in your studies, you are the first college student in your village, and you were also admitted to the Army Command School."

Jiang Fan said: "If the eldest brother hadn't gone out early to make money for me and my sister to study, he would be the first college student in our village." ”

Zhou Hua nodded heavily, "Hmm! I believe in him! ”

"Come on! Xiaofan, let me introduce you. ”

"This is Zhou Hua's father, and this is her mother."

Jiang Long Chong Jiang Fan introduced.

Jiang Fan also politely said to the two people: "Uncle and aunt are good." ”

Zhou Hua also hurriedly said: "Dad, Mom." Jiang Fan is now studying at the Army Command School! When he came out, he was an officer! He ......"

Zhou Chaonan said: "Still studying? That is, not yet in the army? ”

Jiang Fan said: "You can also say that. ”

Zhou Chaonan said: "Now, the promotion of the army is more difficult than in society!" ”

"How many officers can't even survive the battalion commander, so they change jobs."

"I advise you, if you have the opportunity, get out of society as soon as possible. Don't waste your youth in it. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Fan's tone also cooled: "I heard that my uncle is also in the system. I've always felt that characters like you should know a little bit about the army. ”

"Now it seems, hehe......"

Zhou Chaonan's face changed, "What do you mean?" Am I not right? ”

Jiang Fan said: "Not everyone who chooses to enter the army is for promotion and fortune!" ”

"In other words, people with this kind of thinking will not choose to enter the army at all!"

"We just want to be soldiers, to defend the people and the land! I never thought about how big an official I wanted to be, how well I could mix, or how well I could develop after changing jobs to society! ”

When Zhou Chaonan heard this, he squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Jiang Fan, "So, are you teaching me a lesson?" ”

Before Jiang Fan could speak, Zhou Hua hurriedly said, "Dad, Xiao Fan didn't mean that!" ”

Jiang Long also hurriedly said to Jiang Fan: "Xiao Fan, you shouldn't talk to the elders like this, apologize quickly!" ”

"Don't dare to be!"

Zhou's mother said in a somewhat cold tone: "Didn't you say that you Jiang family people are so noble!" After studying in a military school, I felt so great that I dared to teach us a lesson! ”

Jiang Long looked at Jiang Fan with some embarrassment.

Jiang Fan just patted Jiang Long on the shoulder and smiled: "It's okay, I'm ......"

But before Jiang Fan finished speaking, Zhou Chaonan said directly to Jiang Long: "Jiang Long, I want to ask now, is your brother's decision your decision?" ”

Jiang Long looked at Zhou Hua.

Zhou Hua also gritted his teeth and looked at him.

"Xiaohua, I'm sorry, I really can't get into trouble, otherwise, my parents won't be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives."

Jiang Long said in a low and trembling voice.

"Good!"

"That's your decision, isn't it?"

"That's good! So be it! ”

"My daughter will never marry you!"

After speaking, Zhou Chaonan pulled Zhou Hua and walked out, "Go back with me!" You are not allowed to see him again! ”

"Dad~~"

Zhou Hua couldn't help crying and kept begging.

But Zhou Chaonan and Zhou's mother ignored it at all.

Just when Jiang Fan wanted to stop and say something.

At this time, at the door of the box, several figures appeared.

"Director Zhou! Why are you here? ”

"District Mayor Yang, Secretary Wang! Secretary Lin! ”

Seeing the three of them, the angry look on Zhou Chaonan's face instantly became complimentary.

Da Lao Yuan, he stretched out his hands, greeted him, and shook hands with several old leaders.

"Director Zhou, is this a family party?"

"Don't bother then, you keep eating."

Mayor Yang said.

"No, no, no! We're done with this. ”

Zhou Chaonan smiled and said, "A few leaders, come here ......"

District Mayor Yang said: "Here in the provincial capital, there is an investment project, which is related to our city, and Secretary Wang and I will come over to take a look." ”

"Prepare ......"

But before District Chief Yang finished speaking, he noticed Jiang Fan behind Zhou Chaonan.

"Comrade Jiang Fan! Why are you here? ”
