They are all in the army, who is in love?

Chapter 274 Everyone is happy and returns to the military area

"Grandpa, it's time to eat."

"Chen Ming, it's time to eat."

In the study, when the atmosphere was tense, Chai Shuyao's tentative voice came from outside the door.

"Chief, it's time for dinner outside." Chen Ming pointed to the door, trying to ease the conversation.

Getting married within three months was too anxious for him. He did not reject Chai Shuyao, but the relationship between the two was not good enough to sleep together and get married.

The thinking of this older generation is really hard to figure out. How could they arrange a marriage like this?

"It doesn't matter if you eat a little late. You haven't answered my question yet."

Chai Yansong stared at Chen Ming and did not get up. According to his observation, this boy really did not come to visit because of the influence of the Chai family.

In the past, he had only listened to reports and had not directly communicated with the young man in front of him. After a brief interaction today, he could see that with Chen Ming's temperament and ability, he could make a name for himself in the military. .

There is no need to rely on yourself, and the final achievement will not be too low.

He felt at ease leaving his granddaughter to such a person.

Therefore, he forced Chen Ming to make a promise. He knew that people like Chen Ming would not change as long as they made a promise, but young people are too impetuous. If they don't force him this time, the next time will be a few years later.

Having been a soldier all his life, Chai Yansong doesn't like procrastination. If it works, it will be done, and if it doesn't work, it will break up. There won't be so many twists and turns.

Chen Ming secretly cursed this old ruffian. He had seen someone who was in a hurry to marry his daughter or daughter-in-law. This was the first time he had seen someone who was in a hurry to marry his granddaughter.

"Success or failure, in one word, don't waste time."

Chai Yansong asked in a deep voice.

Now that we have talked about it this far, what else can we say?Chen Ming nodded without even saying anything.

Chai Yansong slammed the table and laughed: "Okay, then this matter is settled. You can contact your family as soon as possible after you go back today."

"You should be cautious about major events in life. I will go to your house and take my graceful father to meet the in-laws."

"It just so happens that Yaoyao also knows where your home is. If you are busy, then go about your business. Young people are mainly responsible for their work."

"Let's go and eat."

Chai Yansong seemed to be in a different mood as his worries were resolved.

When he opened the door to the study, he saw Chai Shuyao standing outside the door, looking inside with her little head stretched out.

Seeing the two people coming out, Zhan Yan smiled.

"Grandpa, what are you talking about?"

"No, it's nothing." Chai Yansong laughed and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Go, open the two bottles of Laojiao that Xiao Chen brought over, and have two drinks at noon today."

"Xiao Chen came all the way and had a few drinks with me, haha."

"Grandpa, Chen Ming drove here. He has to rush back to the military area to report in the afternoon. You can't drive after drinking."

Chai Shuyao curled his lips and retorted, time is the most important thing for soldiers. No matter you are a soldier or an officer, when the time for leave is up, you must go back within the specified time limit.

Although these things are not difficult for their family, or even for Chen Ming, rules are rules. Grandpa usually values ​​this the most and must not show favoritism.

"It doesn't matter. I'll go back to the military area in the afternoon and let Xiao Wang drive me there. I'm happy today."

Seeing her grandfather's stubborn temper, Chai Shuyao looked at Chen Ming with concern: "Do you know how to drink? If you don't know how to drink, don't force yourself."

"I know a little bit, it's okay."

Chen Ming is not sure. When he was the dean of students, he was a veteran in the wine bar. Now he is no longer able to do so. He has hardly drank any alcohol, so his body may not be able to withstand it.

But two cups should be fine.

"Okay, if you can't drink later, don't force it, you're welcome."

Chai Shuyao nodded. In her understanding, Chen Ming joined the army as a freshman. He probably had never touched liquor. The army was very strict and had no chance to drink.

Yang Lanying brought out plate after plate of prepared meals from the kitchen. Chai Yansong really didn't have any airs in front of his family, so he rolled up his sleeves and went to help.

The chief is already working, so Chen Ming can't just sit there and wait for his meal like an old man, right?

Also roll up your sleeves and get ready to help.

"How can this child keep the guests busy? Come on, come on, go and take Xiao Chen to wash his hands and get ready for dinner."

"We're all here at home so don't be polite."

Hearing this, Chai Shuyao put down the bottle of Laojiao in his hand, quietly pulled Chen Ming to the bathroom, closed the door, and whispered: "What did grandpa just talk to you about? I didn't embarrass you, did I?"

"If he makes things difficult for you, don't take it personally. He has such a stubborn temper."

"In my grandma's words, he is a stubborn donkey, the type that will go backwards if he is not led away."

Forehead.
How could anyone describe his grandfather like this?

Chen Ming couldn't say anything about his request to get married within three months. Facing Chai Shuyao, it was still difficult for him to get closer to her in a short period of time.

After all, the two of them didn't have many interactions before, and there was no such thing as a quick fire.

"There is no embarrassment. I just expressed some of my own views on the strategic assault division."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Yeah, that's good. Don't be polite when you eat later. There are several dishes made by me today. Let's try how they taste."

Chai Shuyao saw that Chen Ming's expression was fine, and felt that nothing important was discussed, and there was no quarrel, so he felt relieved.

"Okay, I'm honored." Chen Ming turned on the faucet and washed his hands, saying with a smile.

He really couldn't say what he was talking about specifically.

Let the old man handle this kind of problem.

The two of them washed their hands and came out of the bathroom. Chai Yansong had already sat on the dining table, took out two transparent glasses, and filled them twice.

He raised his hand and said, "Come on, Chen Ming, sit down and eat."

"Yes."

"Oh, don't act like a chief when you get home. Do you think this is your conference room?"

"Come on, kid, sit down and eat, and don't talk to this old man. If you're not used to drinking, no one will be able to do the same as him. You can't live without this jug for half your life."

Yang Lanying stood up and picked up a few pieces of ribs with serving chopsticks, and stuffed a few pieces of chicken wings into Chen Ming's bowl.

"Grandma, I want it too." Chai Shuyao held the bowl and stretched it over.

"This kid doesn't understand any rules." Although Yang Lanying complained, her movements were not slow at all. She also picked up a few pieces of meat and put them into her granddaughter's bowl.

"Lazy."

"Huh?" When she heard grandpa calling her, Chai Shuyao bit her ribs and looked up at him.

"When you get married, you can no longer be so unruly. When you grow up, you have to learn to take care of your own family and learn from your grandma, do you understand?"

Chai Yansong looked like he was preaching. Seeing that he was about to get to the point soon, Chen Ming quickly picked up the chopsticks and scooped the rice into his mouth. Like a quail, he sat there in a daze without daring to say a word.

At this time, his experience, confidence, and experience were completely useless.

Silence is the best way to deal with it.

"What? Who said I'm getting married?" Chai Shuyao glanced at Chen Ming subconsciously, then raised his head to look at his grandfather.

"What are you talking about in front of my friends? Hurry up and eat."

Seemingly shy about this kind of topic, Chai Shuyao eagerly wanted to divert the conversation. She picked up the serving chopsticks on the table and started putting vegetables into Chai Yansong's bowl.

Trying to use this method to stop the old man from continuing to speak.

But how could these little tricks be hidden from Chai Yansong? It was obvious that her granddaughter was really thinking about it. She would not pick up food for herself when she mentioned such things.

At most, it is ignored or fiercely opposed.

Feeling that the atmosphere at the dinner table was not quite right, when it came time to talk about business, Yang Lanying also put down her job and waited for the next words.

There was only one Quail at the table who was still eating.

The two old men looked at the performance of the two young men and smiled at each other. Chai Yansong coughed lightly and said, "Call Jiancheng and them all to come back this afternoon. I have something important to announce."

"I told Xiao Chen just now that in September this year, the theater and the military will arrange for some personnel to go to the National Defense University for further studies."

"The main purpose is to train cadres for this strategic assault division. The military region has submitted a list to Xiao Chen to go to the Joint Warfare College for further training."

"It can take at least half a year, or at most one or two years. The specific arrangements have not been finalized, but the list of personnel and the time for this training have been determined."

"So considering that time is too tight, I decided to let Yaoyao and Xiao Chen get married before setting off for further studies."

"Let Jiancheng and the others come back tonight to discuss this important matter for our family."

"Okay, I'll call the child later." Yang Lanying nodded with a smile.

The youngest granddaughter is getting married, which is a worry for the two elderly people.

The old man has always been in charge of the family. He has been a soldier for most of his life. He doesn't pay attention to red tape at all. He is always decisive in doing things and does not tolerate the irresponsible remarks of others.

But this sudden news completely froze Chai Shuyao, who was eating.

Yes, she asked Chen Ming to come over for dinner and be a guest. It was indeed because she had a good impression of him, and it was indeed because of the blind date at the sorority that gave her the courage to make this invitation.But this does not mean that we could have expected that things would progress so quickly.

She didn't have a good impression of Chen Ming at first, but was just curious. After all, there was an age difference between the two of them by three or four years. She became somewhat interested in the high-spirited Chen Ming who talked about loyalty in front of her.

Chai Shuyao has been doing the topic on recruits for several years. This is the first time that he can so decisively reject the olive branch of the brigade chief in front of him, and he can say so frankly that recruits should also know loyalty.

It is precisely because of curiosity that I will occasionally pay attention to it later, but Chen Ming's legend goes far beyond that.

The more people you come into contact with, the more people you pay attention to.

Slowly, it changed from curiosity, to interest, to admiration, to a trace of ignorance, and then every time I thought about it, it was like a clear spring pouring into my heart and spreading throughout my limbs.

Can affect your mood.

For example, when he saw the list of applicants for the 71st Army Association a few days ago, Chai Shuyao could not describe how he felt when he saw familiar names.

So, she found a seemingly reasonable excuse and went to Tiger Wolf Camp. She didn't go late, she arrived early, but she didn't get off the bus.

Chai Shuyao waited until Chen Ming finished everything and was the only one left in the vehicle and artillery field, then Chai Shuyao opened the door and got out of the car.

What happened next is now.

Scene after scene from the past, they were constantly recalled in her mind like a movie.

She was sure again, whether she really wanted to marry Chen Ming, and what her feelings were.

She was also born in a military family and did not have the habit of being coy and sarcastic like ordinary girls.

I also know that I must make a decision at this time. If I am willing, I will decisively agree. If I am not willing, I will decisively refuse. It is good for Chen Ming and myself.

"Yaoyao. Yaoyao Chai Shuyao." Chai Yansong shouted several times, but when she didn't respond, his face became serious.

"Ah, grandpa, you called me?"

"Nonsense, if I don't call you, who else will I call you? Just make a statement about what happened just now."

"Xiao Chen has already agreed, now it's your turn."

Chen Ming still lowered his head to eat. He was embarrassed. He had nothing to say and it was not his turn to speak.

Chai Shuyao looked at Chen Ming, hesitated for a moment, stretched out her elbow and poked him.

"You promised grandpa that you would marry me?"

It was his turn to appear. Chen Ming sighed softly in his heart and turned to look at Chai Shuyao's bright eyes with a calm and expectant look.

In this situation, he couldn't say a word of rejection.

His personality is different from the original owner. He doesn't like to be controlled by others, let alone threatened by others.

However, Chai Shuyao had always been helping him silently, and Chen Ming saw this in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

No one forced him, and he couldn't bear to let this girl down.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming nodded decisively.

"No."

"I'm not promising the chief, this is not a task. I promise from my heart, not from pressure."

"But I am willing to marry you."

"Okay, I'll marry you." Chai Shu smiled gracefully. At this moment, her smile was as dazzling and happy as a blooming rose.

Yes, she had just thought about it seriously, and the final answer was that she was willing.

"Haha, okay, okay, the soup in my pot is ready, let's take it out." Yang Lanying stood up with a smile. The two young people were finally able to get together. She, a grandmother, was also happy to see it.

"Hey, tell me, you young people are all here at home, and you still do so many fancy things, eating and drinking. Come on, Xiao Chen, let's touch one of you."

"Yes, Chief."

Chai Yansong seemed to be even happier. He picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp, then placed the glass on the table with a "pop" sound.

Pick up the Laojiao bottle and pour it into the cup.

"You kid, you won't suffer any loss if you call me grandpa, come on, do it."

Chen Ming was about to raise his glass when he suddenly noticed a chill in his palms. He looked down and saw that Chai Shuyao had reached out and held him tightly.

"Drink less, you can't drink Grandpa's."

"it is good."

Chen Ming nodded, raised his glasses and clinked them.

He was the quickest to agree, but he was also quick to drink. The leader had already had two drinks, and it would be really unreasonable for him to take another sip.

He looked up and drank it all.

After drinking two glasses of wine, Chai Yansong capped the wine bottle, and while inviting Chen Ming to eat, he arranged: "Let Xiao Wang drive you back today."

"Remember, never drive while drinking."

"Also, your strategic assault division is currently under the name of the 169th Synthetic Brigade. When you return, go to the brigade headquarters to apply for marriage. You don't have to worry about other things so much."

"Contact your family as soon as possible."

"Yes."

"We are both soldiers. There are not so many twists and turns, and there are not so many rules. I am very happy that you two young people can come together."

"The wedding customs will be in accordance with your local customs. When you return to the military region after your training, it will be almost time for you to arrive at your new post. The main battalion-level military region will allocate a house."

"You two just need to move in. There's nothing else to explain."

"Yes."

"Yaoyao, you have been favored at home since you were a child. You often do things impetuously and do not know how to behave properly. In the future, when you become the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, you must know how to be filial to your parents-in-law."

"You can no longer go your own way as before. This is not the duty of a wife. I didn't ask you for anything before, but this time you and Xiao Chen have to work together to run your little family well."

"Understand?"

"Okay grandpa." Chai Shuyao nodded with a smile. She was not as frizzy and ignorant as Chai Yansong said.

Children in the military are more carefree, but they are not ignorant.

Since she agreed and decided to marry Chen Ming, she would definitely fulfill her duties as a wife.

The trip to Jinling ended soon.

When he came, Chen Ming was extremely nervous. He couldn't put his hands in his pockets or pinch the corners of his clothes. Now when it was time to leave, he was in high spirits.

He also kidnapped a daughter-in-law.

The two old men did not come out to see them off, so as to give them young people a chance to get along.

Chen Ming and Chai Shuyao walked side by side on the road in No. [-] Courtyard, their fingers intertwined and silent.

Wait until you reach the exit.

Chai Shuyao boldly walked up to Chen Ming and helped him straighten his collar and uniform.

Smiling lightly: "Okay, let's go back."

"Remember to report your marriage application to the superior. I will also go to the Propaganda Department to make a report in the afternoon."

"According to grandpa's behavior, he will definitely take my dad and me to your house to discuss marriage issues in the next few days."

"Is there anything you want me to bring home?"

"No, I will tell my family as soon as possible. They will be very surprised to know that the person who went to the house to do things with the camera was actually my future daughter-in-law."

"Well, go ahead. The return trip will take three hours. Don't be late."

Chai Shuyao waved his hand and watched with reluctance as Chen Ming got into the car and stood at the entrance of the compound, watching the car go away.

She was not worried, as Grandpa's guards would drive him there, so there wouldn't be any problems.

Just after confirming the relationship, he had to leave again. This may be the helplessness of the soldiers.

On the way back, Chen Ming sat in the back seat of the car with his eyes closed. He looked aloof, but in fact, he was just a lazy person when it came to drinking. He didn't feel anything before he got in the car, but he felt dizzy as soon as he got in the car. He leaned there in a daze, unable to say a word.

Fortunately, the commander's guard was responsible for driving, and his driving skills were quite stable. We returned to the headquarters of the 169th Hessian Brigade before dinner.

I came here to take a break, and to report on my current situation and apply for marriage.

Chen Ming definitely had reason to believe that if he didn't come to the brigade headquarters as soon as he came back, the political commissar and Wang Brigade would definitely have the guts to go to the Tiger Wolf Camp and drag him out to ask about the situation.

After all, two bottles of Laojiao and two cans of tea are not free of charge.

Sure enough, outside the headquarters building of the 169th Brigade, the two of them had already gathered.

Brigadier Wang Junwei looked at the time, crossed his arms and frowned, "Isn't it possible that this guy Chen Ming won't be able to get back in time?"

"It's true that he is a guest at the political commissar's house in the war zone."

"Wait a little longer. Come back and ask him what's going on. This guy got the job done without saying a word. I think this trip will go smoothly."

Political commissar Xu Guoyang laughed and joked.
