Blade of Time

Chapter 1 Dispute
When returning home, Jiang Changye saw that dinner was ready.

His father, Jiang Zhu, was sitting on the main seat, reading the newspaper.

On the left is the stepmother Luo Hongyan, below are the fourth brother Jiang Changan, and the fifth sister Jiang Banqing.

On the right is the second elder brother Jiang Changning and the second sister-in-law Lin Luozhi.

Except for the eldest sister, Jiang Banyue, who is married, everyone in the family sat neatly at the dining table. The table was full of dishes, but no one touched their chopsticks.

Seeing Jiang Changye coming in, Jiang Zhu put down the newspaper: "You are 3 minutes late."

Jiang Zhu was born in the army. He is as his name suggests.

Years of military habits are brought to the home, making the home look like a military base, and if you dare to be late for one minute, you will be punished.Now that the children are older, the board is no longer so easy to fall off, but the rules are still as big as a mountain.

Jiang Changye stood in front of the dining table: "The Department of Public Security has a temporary case, which is delayed."

Jiang Zhu's eyes were like iron, and his voice was like a bell: "Then have you been on duty?"

"No."

"I didn't go, where's the delay?"

"Information processing, logistics support."

Jiang Zhu was very dissatisfied: "Did I tell you? When doing things, the most taboo thing is to make excuses. Mistakes are not allowed on the battlefield. If you want to make excuses, any failure can have a lot of excuses. But failure is failure. Need an excuse!"

Jiang Changye lowered his head and did not answer.

He didn't say it was a family and not a battlefield, and he knew it wouldn't make sense to his father.

Luo Hongyan, who was dressed as a lady, smiled and said, "Forget it, it's not a big deal."

She is younger than Jiang Zhu, and she is only 35 now. Although she is the mother of two children, she still retains the charm of her youth.

The seemingly comforting words of kindness were heard in his ears, but Jiang Changye sneered in his heart.

He knew Jiang Zhu's temper very well.

The more you persuade him, the more angry he is. He is a stubborn donkey who likes to go against others.

Sure enough, Jiang Zhu stared: "It's the so-called knowledge from the small! If you don't form a habit of small things, how can you do big things?"

It was still the second sister-in-law Lin Luozhi who said softly: "Why don't you go back and ask about the internship, and if you don't do well, you will be punished even more."

Jiang Changye glanced at Lin Luozhi gratefully.

The second elder brother Jiang Changning has a cowardly temper, but he married a good wife. Lin Luozhi has a refined temperament, knowledge of books and courtesy, which is quite satisfactory to Jiang Zhu.

It's understandable, after all, she is the daughter-in-law he picked for his son.

Jiang Zhu thought for a while, and seeing his son's respectful attitude, finally nodded: "Sit down and eat first."

Jiang Changye sat silently in his seat, and the family began to use their chopsticks to eat.

Although there were many people, the dining table was silent, not even the sound of touching the dishes.

Jiang Changye felt as if he was eating with a group of dead people. Living under the militarized dogmatism became no fun, but some people enjoyed it.

It's a pity that Jiang Zhu was the only one who was happy, not anyone else.

He wanted to say something, but Jiang Changye knew that he couldn't speak during the meal, so he could only endure it.

The family didn't move to the living room until the dinner was over and the servants came to clean up the tableware.

Jiang Zhutie sat upright like a Ma Jinge.

Jiang Changye came over and whispered, "Dad, I have something to tell you."

"Hmm." Jiang Zhu closed his eyes and listened silently.

The time after dinner is time for networking.

If you have something to say, it's best to say it now.

Jiang Changye said: "My internship performance in the Department of Public Security during this period of time is not bad. Team Tian even told me today that I hope I can join the Department of Public Security. But you know, there are many people who want to enter the Department of Public Security. Background, it's hard for me to get in."

Jiang Zhu opened his eyes slightly to look at his son: "You want me to speak for you?"

Jiang Zhu retired from the position of the head of the Falcon Chapter under the Red Dragon Army, and his status is not low. If he can help speak, it will indeed greatly reduce Jiang Changye's resistance to entering the Department of Public Security.

But Jiang Changye knew his father's temper, bowed his head and said, "I'm not asking you to go through the back door, I just need a fair environment. Holy Cross College has twelve interns in the Southern District Security Department, and I'm just one of them. The company only needs two people this year. Although my performance is not bad, the others are relying on the relationship of the family. If you don’t speak up, no matter how good my performance is, I have no chance.”

"For example?" Jiang Zhu asked.

"Like what?"

"For example, who is entrusting the relationship? Since you want to convince me, you have to show evidence."

Jiang Changye was helpless: "How can I produce evidence for such a thing?"

Jiang Zhu sternly said: "Then you can't just say that others are relying on relationships and make excuses for your behavior."

It is still so!
Although he was mentally prepared, Jiang Changye still felt lonely and disappointed.

The work of the eldest sister and the second brother was arranged by Jiang Zhu, and the school of the fourth and fifth was also contacted by Jiang Zhu.

Only myself, I have never received help from my father since I was a child.

Because the mother was still alive when the eldest sister was the second brother, and when her mother passed away, Luo Hongyan entered the house and gave birth to a son and a daughter for Jiang Zhu, so Jiang Zhu's focus was on the two younger ones.

Jiang Changye was jumped over!

He relied on himself to be admitted to the best Holy Cross College in the local area, relied on himself to enter the internship in the Department of Public Security, which others would want to get into, and relied on himself to get a good award, but in the end, because he didn't have a family background to lose this promising job.

How ironic!
Jiang Changye glanced at Luo Hongyan.

She just sat there, coaxing her younger siblings without saying anything.

A smart woman never expresses her exclusion in front of her family, but just strives for resources for her children as much as possible.Even the head of the group has limited resources, and some relationship resources should be reserved for the younger ones, so naturally they cannot be given to the third child.

Jiang Changye looked at his second brother, Jiang Changning lowered his head in shame.

He and Jiang Changye are siblings, but before his father's majesty, he can't say anything.

On the contrary, the eight-year-old fifth sister, Jiang Banqing, didn't have so many thoughts, and said crisply, "Dad, why don't you help brother?"

Luo Hongyan said calmly: "Chang'an, take my sister to do homework inside."

Jiang Zhu said expressionlessly: "To be a man, you must learn to rely on yourself. Your father and I have worked hard all the way to where we are now, but we have never relied on others. I always think about being a parent to help, what future can I have?"

This sounds really familiar!
Every parent says that, right?

We are always on our own!
The problem is that while children have to work hard, parents should also fulfill their responsibilities, right?

Jiang Changye spent three and a half years at the Academy of the Holy Cross, spending 1 yuan at home, an average of less than [-] yuan a year, and the rest depended on scholarships and part-time jobs, because Jiang Zhu said he wanted to be self-reliant; he went to Yelangling to try Lian, almost pierced through the heart by sharp teeth, but even his father dared not say it, just because Jiang Zhu thought the scar was a testimony of a man's bravery, and it was cowardly to go home and complain after a little injury; He worked hard every day and studied materials when he got home, but because he had to go home for dinner on time, he gave up more opportunities to perform again and again. This made it impossible for him to pull the gap to the next level even though he performed well in practice. After all, at this time, those students who are interested in joining the Department of Public Security are still following the case at the scene, while I am off work normally...

Over the years, he can be said to have been relying on himself, but just because he is still living in this family, he is not independent, so he does not need to be cared about, ignored at will, even at such a critical moment, he must be ignored Father ignored.

Just because the mother died to protect herself?

No!If you are angry because you are sad about the death of your wife, I can understand it very well.

But you are not!

If you were that kind of person, you wouldn't marry another one so soon.

After all, it was the villain who made trouble, and you accepted it!
For your so-called family harmony, sacrificed me.

Jiang Changye looked at Jiang Zhu with complicated eyes, lowered his head and said: "You are right, you have to rely on yourself. The little eagle will grow up, and when its wings are hard, it should fly by itself!"

Jiang Zhu's iron-like face showed a trace of sullenness: "There is something in your words, do you think I can't hear it?"

Jiang Changye smiled.

He smiled and looked at his father: "You have always been my father. Although you are a bit stricter, it is for my own good. I understand this. No matter what, I will never forget your cultivation. It's just that there are gains and losses in everything. Since I have to rely on myself for everything, so I don’t think you will care if I can’t go home on time for dinner in the future? After all, I want to fight for my own future. A man who comes home on time every day and listens to his father in everything , what kind of enterprising man is he?"

Jiang Zhu's face darkened: "Are you saying that the family rules are holding you back?"

"I can't say, it's just that a man wants to establish a career, and sometimes he can't take care of his family. Father must understand. After all, you came here like this. Oh, by the way, I may have to go on a long trip tomorrow."

Jiang Changye used his most respectful tone.

It's just that the more respectful the tone, the more alienated the distance.

"Where are you going?" Jiang Zhu was slightly taken aback.

As a father, of course it is impossible for him not to care about his son at all, but the words "rely on yourself" may not be able to brainwash Jiang Changye, but it has brainwashed himself, so that he can confidently ignore Jiang Changye and refuse everything he can offer. Help, and the euphemistic name: experience.

Until this moment, when he realized that his son's wings were hardening, he could get out of his help and at the same time out of control. At that moment, he felt both more relaxed and more disappointed.

It's just that the arrogance in his heart prevented him from admitting this, and his face remained calm.

Jiang Changye shook his head: "Since I am responsible for my life, there is no need for you to ask."

This soft but hard answer made Jiang Zhu speechless.

The old face twitched, and Jiang Zhu squeezed out a smile: "Okay! Very good! I look forward to your soaring to the sky."

..........................................

Lying on the bed in the room, Jiang Changye stared blankly at the ceiling.

There was one thing Jiang Zhu didn't know.

He was late for 3 minutes on purpose, and the so-called asking Jiang Zhu to help him through the back door was just an excuse he deliberately made.

When people do things, they generally need some external motivation, especially when you plan to take risks for the future...

Today's conversation helped Jiang Changye make up his mind.

There is a knock at the door:
"Long night."

It was the second sister-in-law's voice.

Jiang Changye opened the door: "Second sister-in-law."

Lin Luozhi stood at the door, looking at Jiang Changye with a smile on her round and smooth face: "Don't let me come in and sit?"

Jiang Changye looked outside, and saw his second brother Jiang Changning standing there looking at him with concern.

Jiang Changye stepped aside.

Lin Luozhi walked in, closed the door, sat down on Jiang Changye's chair and said, "Dad has this temper, you don't need to be like this."

Jiang Changye smiled slightly, and sat on the bedside: "It seems that my performance just now was a bit too much, making you think that I am going to run away from home and deny my family from now on? It's not true. I just think that since I want to be single Fly, then how to fly is up to me. There is no need to look at his face in everything... A fight with Dad doesn't mean you must be a rebellious son, right? But you also know that for people like Dad , if you don't get angry, you really can't say 'I won't listen to you in the future'... I'm just trying to give myself courage, who doesn't need self-puffing?"

Lin Luozhi sighed: "There are some things that everyone knows in their hearts without saying anything. In fact, let alone you in this family, even Changning..."

She didn't go on, Jiang Changye understood what she meant.

Jiang Changye said: "Father is also prepared for this?"

Lin Luozhi nodded gently: "A few days ago, his old wound relapsed, and the doctor said he wouldn't last long. The fourth and fifth children are still young, so Dad has to think about them. A few days ago, Dad left, and Chang Ning will be promoted at that time , we will have a new residence, and we will not live in this house.”

Jiang Changye understood.

Although Jiang Zhu has a bad temper, he is fairly honest. Although the house he lives in is big and there are servants, there is not much oil and water in fact.

This big house is his most valuable asset, and it is probably reserved for Luo Hongyan and the two younger ones.

So the second elder brother Jiang Changning is also moving out, and Jiang Changye is going to be self-reliant, which is even better.

He also knew about his father's condition.

It's an old problem, the doctor issued a death notice ten years ago, but Jiang Zhu was so vigorous, he just didn't die, so he slapped the doctor in the face.

It's also normal, he is a warrior of the eternal sequence, vigorous and tough, and he is good at creating miracles of life.

But this time even the matter of house allocation has been considered, and it seems that it really can't last for too long - from his point of view, Jiang Changye and the others are already adults, and the two younger ones are not yet adults. Think about it a little bit more.

As for Jiang Changye's work arrangement, you are used to being self-reliant, so go ahead and get used to it, isn't it a good habit to break the habit?

Because of the psychological expectations, everyone did not show much sadness about this matter.

At this moment, Jiang Changye said: "I will graduate in half a year, and I will move out by then."

"Why don't you come and live with us." The second sister-in-law said.

Jiang Changye's heart warmed.

In this family, the eldest sister Jiang Banyue who cared most about him was the eldest sister, followed by the second elder brother and second sister-in-law. After all, he was still a brother of the same mother.

What's rare is that neither the elder brother-in-law He Yang nor the second sister-in-law Lin Luozhi treated him well.

But Jiang Changye still shook his head and said, "I have my own plans, thank you for your concern."

Seeing him like this, Lin Luozhi didn't say anything else, and got up directly: "Then I'll go out first, and you should be fine."

Watching Lin Luozhi leave, Jiang Changye felt mixed emotions, and finally fell asleep on the bed without saying anything.
