Jiang Defu had been thinking about Jiang Changyi, and he went to bed with this complicated mentality. He was still energetic and went to work the next morning.
For Jiang Defu, family and work are equally important. This is also the reason why he has a happy life and smooth work. Few people see what he is complaining about, and he has formed a bond with his "good gay friend" Lao Ding.
A sharp contrast.
"Dehua, why were the dumplings you made yesterday so salty?
I couldn’t sleep well all night.”
"Ah? Are they salty? I feel fine!" Jiang Dehua felt that yesterday's dumplings were not as exaggerated as Lao Ding said. "I will make you some Kuding tea later. Drink more Kuding tea and you will be fine."
"Yeah! Make more bubbles!"
"Haha, I got it!"
As soon as Jiang Defu entered Lao Ding's yard, he heard Lao Ding complaining to his sister. This made Jiang Defu couldn't help but frown, feeling that Lao Ding was getting more and more excessive.
"Old Ding, why do I feel that you are becoming more and more like a landlord and a wealthy man?
If a dumpling is either salty or bland, why don’t you make it yourself!”
"Humph! Don't come to our house to stir up trouble. Our Dehua family will not accept your behavior."
"Humph! What's wrong!" Looking at his "good friend" who looked like a scoundrel, Jiang Defu no longer dwelled on the matter. Instead, he looked at his sister Jiang Dehua who brought Kuding tea, "Dehua, in the third year of junior high school, you and I will leave the island with you."
One trip.”
"Ah? Where to go?"
"Hey! Someone comes from my hometown again!
You and I will go out to the island to pick up people."
"Hmph! Who is the visitor?
The Jade Emperor from your hometown?
Do you want the two of you, brother and sister, to pick it up in person?" Old Ding, who was drinking Kuding tea, heard the conversation between the two brothers and sister, and couldn't help but speak "venomously".
"Shut up! Drink your kuding tea!" Looking at the "venomous" old Ding, Jiang Defu could no longer hold back his anger, "I found out why I just can't stand you recently!"
"Bang!" When Lao Ding saw Jiang Defu getting angry, he just said "bang" pretending to be disdainful.
"Brother, who is coming from my hometown this time?" Looking at his husband and brother who were bickering with each other, Jiang Dehua smiled indifferently. It was really too common for the two of them to bicker.
"Hey! What a big trouble!" Because Lao Ding was sitting next to him, Jiang Defu could only sigh without hesitation.
"Ah? Big trouble?" Jiang Dehua couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Could it be that the second aunt is here again?"
"Huh! A hundred times more troublesome than the second aunt."
...
Green Island Pier is also under semi-military management. In order to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings, Suning rarely goes out at the terminal, let alone wandering around.
His mind played tricks on a few "unlucky guys" in his own space world. Suning suddenly felt that this feeling was so good, as if he was the creator of this space world, and all the creatures in the space world were there to make him happy.
However, Suning was not happy for long before she suddenly came up with a very scary guess: whether the real world she lived in was also a "toy" in the eyes of others, and whether there was also a hand controlling it at any time.
Thinking of the most terrifying part, Suning couldn't help but turn pale, and shed a lot of cold sweat unconsciously. Suning could be considered a "wonder" because he was frightened by himself. Fortunately, Xiao Liu came with two little soldiers at this time.
Suning's room.
"Xiao Jiang, you look so ugly. Are you feeling unwell?"
"Eh? It's okay!
I suddenly thought of a horror story and ended up scaring myself."
"Haha..." Xiao Liu and the other three couldn't help but laugh. Suning's explanation was really funny.
"Xiao Jiang, let me introduce you.
These two are comrades who came from the capital with me, his name is Lei Ming and his name is Su Nan."
"Brother Lei, Brother Su, hello!" Suning greeted them with a smile.
"Hello, Xiaojiang!"
"Xiao Jiang, I have to work a whole day's shift today, and I really don't have time to accompany you. Lei Ming and Su Nan just have the day off today, and I'm going to let them take you to go fishing in the winter."
"Winter fishing? Can fishing also be done in winter?"
"Haha, yes!
But there are only a few fish species that can be caught, and the only common ones are black snapper and sand eel.”
"Ah? That's great! Thank you!"
"Haha, you're welcome!
Anyway, we just went fishing during our break." Regarding Suning's thanks, Lei Ming and Su Nan both said casually without taking it seriously.
Soon Xiao Liu went on duty, and then Lei Ming and Su Nan gave Xiao Liu's homemade fishing tackle to Suning, and took Suning to the beach for wild fishing.
Looking at the surrounding scenery of the northern coast, Suning's depressed mood eased a lot. No matter how depressed he was, he would suddenly feel freer and relaxed as long as he went out for a walk and took a look.
In the real world, Suning especially likes to travel around. Seeing different beautiful scenery and tasting different food can cultivate his sentiment.
Following the two "hosts" Lei Ming and Sun Nan, Suning also sat there and started fishing. Maybe Lei Ming and the two thought that Suning would not make a nest, and they were very considerate and prepared everything for Suning in advance.
Seeing the three strangers being so attentive, Suning was somewhat moved. She really wanted to take out the modern food in the space and share it with them.
But worried that his behavior was too strange and would cause unnecessary trouble, Suning gave up the idea and sat there quietly fishing.
Looking at the majestic sea in front of her, Suning couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts. Suddenly, she felt that the fishing rod in her hand was a little heavy. Just when she realized that she had gained something, she heard the sound of thunder and Su Nan's surprise next to her.
"Xiaojiang, there's a fish coming! Hurry up!"
"Oh! Haha, good luck!"
I saw Suning pulling the fishing rod coolly, and a sand eel weighing nearly two kilograms was revealed, "Ah? It's actually a sand eel?"
"Yes! Aren't sand eels dormant during the day and out at night?
Xiao Jiang, you are so lucky."
"Haha, this can be considered a good start for the three of us!
I have a hunch that our harvest today will be pretty good."
"Haha, Xiao Jiang is right.
This is a good start for us." Lei Ming responded with a smile while holding Suning to collect the fish.
Because of this first sand eel, the three of them were no longer so strange, but gradually became familiar with each other. Lei Ming looked at Suning who was fishing quietly, "Xiao Jiang, have you been to the capital?"
"No! It's just that there are some educated youths from Beijing in my hometown in recent years. I like chatting with them. I feel that the outside world is very exciting."
"Yes! The outside world is wonderful.
If you have the opportunity to go to Beijing to see the flag raising on Tiananmen Square in the future, we will definitely entertain you."
"Haha, let's make an agreement then.
Maybe we will really get together again in the capital one day."
"Haha, don't worry!
We Beijing people are definitely the most hospitable.”
At this time, Suning noticed that Su Nan had been sitting there reading a book, and then asked curiously, "Brother Su, what book are you reading?"
"Haha, the army is currently popularizing the Four Great Classics. The one I read is Water Margin!" Su Nan smiled and raised the cover of the book in his hand.
"Oh? The troops are so good!
Not only can you get physical exercise, but you can also learn more knowledge."
"Yes! Being a soldier is indeed the best way out for our young people!"
Before dinner, Suning and the other three returned to the dock station. After taking out the harvest of the three, they immediately caused a sensation in the dock station station, and even the cooks who were responsible for cooking were alarmed.
"Lei Ming, are you okay today?
How did you catch so many fish?
Wow! There’s also a sand eel here?”
"Haha, most of them are caught from the small river."
"Xiaojiang?"
"Yes! They are relatives from Commander Jiang's hometown."
"Oh? Hello Xiaojiang!
Thank you for helping us get extra meals!”
"Haha, cook, don't be polite!
I should also thank you for accompanying me on winter fishing and not making me feel bored."
"Haha, Commander Jiang's relatives are good at talking.
Everyone, just wait a little longer, and we’ll all have extra meals later.”
"oh......"
The three days passed very quickly. With the People's Liberation Army on the dock taking turns to accompany him, Suning did not feel lonely. Maybe Suning really had a "social badass". In just three days, he got to know almost all the people stationed at the dock.
warrior.
Maybe it's because Suning has experienced so many worlds and has so much experience that it's easy for everyone to like to get in touch with him, instead of treating him as a "passerby" or a stranger.
...
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Defu took his sister Jiang Dehua on board the ship. Then Jiang Dehua knew who they were picking up, "What? What? Brother, who do you think is coming from my hometown?"
Looking at his surprised sister whose eyes were about to turn into big light bulbs, Jiang Defu smiled bitterly and repeated again, "Jiang Changyi!"
"Ah? What is he here for?"
"Hey! He said on the phone that he wanted to be a soldier and asked me to help him."
"Oh? So that's it." My sister Jiang Dehua was relieved, and then looked at Jiang Defu again, "Brother, how are you going to arrange Chang Yi?
After all, he is also my nephew."
"Hey! How else can we arrange it? We can send him to serve as a soldier."
"Brother, aren't you afraid that your sister-in-law will be angry if she finds out?"
"Dehua, I was just worried about your sister-in-law, so I secretly took you out to pick up the child."
"Brother, you also know that I spend most of my time here helping you take care of your children. In fact, I have never met Chang Yi a few times.
Her mother is also stubborn and doesn’t like this child getting close to me.”
"Hmm! I don't know what this child looks like, why did he come here suddenly?" Jiang Defu murmured to himself melancholy after hearing his sister's explanation.
The ship arrived at Green Island Pier soon. As soon as they saw that the ship was about to dock, the soldiers on duty on the shore excitedly informed Suning, and then brought a somewhat nervous Suning to greet them.
The first meeting with Jiang Defu brother and sister made Suning, an "old fox", unable to help but feel embarrassed. If he had other choices, he would never choose such an embarrassing meeting.
Many people may say that they can work alone, but Suning knows that status is very important in this era. Farming in rural areas is very difficult. You must know that nowadays it is all done by hand, and the hard work is unimaginable to ordinary people.
Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for Suning to go into farming.
In the same room where he had lived for three days, the three members of the Jiang family sat together formally for the first time, while Jiang Dehua kept staring at Suning's "black face".
"Brother, Changyi looks so much like you!
Look at this face shape, look at this mouth, it was all made with a slap." Jiang Dehua shouted in surprise.
"Ahem!" Jiang Defu couldn't help but stop his sister from yelling. In fact, when he saw Suning's appearance for the first time, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
"Changyi, wouldn't it be good to stay at home and farm?"
"No! Now it's all about centimeters. The food rations at home are not enough to eat at all. Although my stepfather is pretty good, he still discriminates against me to some extent." Suning said what was in his heart based on his own memory, "So,
I want to be a soldier and want to change my destiny through being a soldier."
"Yes! Yes! I can arrange for you to serve as a soldier." Jiang Defu didn't have any objection to Suning's explanation.
"Thank you!" Suning just felt embarrassed at this time.
"Changyi, I am your aunt, do you still remember me?"
"Auntie, I remember you!"
"Hey! What a poor child!" Jiang Dehua couldn't help but hugged Jiang Changyi sadly.
Maybe Jiang Defu also realized that he had wronged his child, so he just sat there smoking cigarettes one after another while looking at his aunt and nephew hugging each other tightly.
After a while, Jiang Dehua stopped crying, and then looked at Jiang Defu aside, "Brother, what do you think of arranging Changyi?
Do you want to introduce him to his sister-in-law and the others?"
"this......"
"Brother, you are a good husband and a good father.
But all your good things have gone to your sister-in-law and Guo Qing and their five children.
But are you worthy of Chang Yi?"
"Brother, it was indeed Zhang Guilan who was sorry for you before, but what does it have to do with the child? He is innocent!
No wonder Zhang Guilan has not allowed me to see Chang Yi for so many years, because the two of them are also angry. After all, you should at least take Chang Yi over!"
"Why......"
Jiang Defu also realized that he was a bit "scumbag". At first, neither he nor Zhang Guilan could explain the child's life experience, which was why today's situation happened. But now that he saw the child's appearance, all doubts have become ridiculous.
.
Listening to his sister Jiang Dehua's complaints, Jiang Defu also realized that he needed to give Suning an explanation. Jiang Defu dropped the cigarette butt in his hand and said, "If you stick your head out, it will be the same as if you shrink your head!"
Just tell Anjie clearly!"
"Brother, I support you!" Looking at his brother who suddenly "risen", Jiang Dehua still continued to get angry.
"Huh? Dad, I just want to be a soldier.
It doesn't matter whether Aunt An or the others know each other." After hearing the conversation between the brother and sister, Suning realized that things had changed, which was more and more beyond his expectation.
"Humph! Silly boy, what do you know?
Just follow your father’s arrangements!”
"Aunt, Dad, I heard from my second wife and the others back home that you are all doing well now, so I won't cause you any trouble." Suning looked at the two brothers and sisters who had changed a lot in front of them.
He quickly explained with a wry smile, "I really came here just to serve as a soldier. I don't want to get too involved in your current family, so I won't go to the island."
Jiang Defu looked at Suning with some surprise, but Jiang Dehua looked at his nephew complainingly, "If you don't want to go to the island, then why are you here?"
"Brother, look at how sensible this kid Chang Yi is!
Do you really tolerate him continuing to be so unclear?"
"Changyi, don't say anything.
I will take you to the island to identify yourself, and the island will be your home from now on." Jiang Defu seemed to have made up his mind and decided to have a showdown with An Jie.
At this time, Suning was really confused. Could it be that he was performing too well and exerting too much force, which suddenly caused such a big deviation?
Jiang Defu, aren't you most afraid of your wife Anjie?
Aren't you worried that An Jie will find out about the Jiang family's scandal?
Why does it suddenly feel so strange?
You shouldn't be so tough!
Jiang Dehua, aren’t you most afraid of your sister-in-law?
Suning knew that both brothers and sisters were stubborn and it was difficult to change their decisions, so he no longer insisted on his own ideas and instead obeyed the arrangements of the brothers and sisters honestly.
It was really not my intention to be a "scheming man". I thought that after I got my quota as a soldier, I could live an upright life, but I didn't expect that I would be forced to run all the way on the road of "scheming"...
.
I didn't have much luggage, so I just carried it on my back and left with my brother and sister. Before boarding the ship, I greeted the "acquaintances" I had been with for the past three days. Everyone came out to say goodbye to Suning. Some people from wealthy families would say goodbye.
Bring some small gifts.
"Thanks!"
Suning was really moved. People in this era are so simple. In other words, Chinese soldiers have always been so simple, so they are loved by the common people.
Brother and sister Jiang Defu and Jiang Dehua looked at this scene in surprise. They really did not expect that Suning would be so popular. Looking at Suning who kept bidding farewell to the soldiers, the brother and sister watched silently with shining eyes.
"Brother Lei, Brother Liu, don't forget our agreement. We will meet in the capital if we have the chance."
"Well! Xiao Jiang, after you've settled in, write to us."
"Okay! I will definitely do it!"
Just when Suning turned around and was about to leave, the cook at the dock garrison came out hesitantly and said, "Xiao Jiang, I don't have anything good to give you.
This is the shrimp paste I made myself, I hope you don’t dislike it!”
"Haha, how could I dislike it?
Thank you for the shrimp paste, I really like it.”
"Haha, as long as you like it!" Seeing that Suning didn't dislike it at all, the cook couldn't help but smile honestly.
After Suning and the others boarded the ship, Jiang Dehua couldn't help but look at his nephew, "Chang Yi, why do you get along so well with them?"
"Haha, maybe we are all young people and can chat with each other!"
When Jiang Defu heard his eldest son Jiang Changyi's explanation, he just smiled silently and didn't say anything out loud. Soon he thought of the "storm" he was about to face soon, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
