Your promise, my sea
Chapter 18 The long-buried life experience
Chapter 18 The long-buried life experience
Grandma's illness was very urgent. Fortunately, she was in the hospital and the doctor came in time.
After the young doctor did a simple examination on grandma, he confirmed that there was nothing serious. Yan Zhen was still worried, and asked the doctor, "Just a few bottles of drip?"
The young doctor explained with a smile: "It's okay, it's the lack of blood supply that leads to shortness of breath. The old man's blood pressure is a bit high, so we should pay more attention to this and don't let her be overly stimulated."
Yan Zhen nodded.
Tu Xiao sent the doctor away.Yan Zhen stood by the bed, except for tucking up the corners of grandma's quilt and brushing her hair, she remained motionless for the rest of the time.The child looked at her but didn't dare to speak, Gu Huaiyue settled the child, walked over and put Yan Zhen's shoulders on his shoulders: "Yan Zhen."
Yan Zhen came back to his senses and looked at him.
"Don't worry, grandma is fine."
"I know." She took his hand, "Thank you."
Gu Huaiyue scratched her nose: "What stupid things are you talking about?"
Yan Zhen bowed his head and did not refute.After grandma's breathing became long and even, Yan Zhen turned his head, looked at Gu Huaiyue and said, "Huaiyue, there are some things I have never told you. I didn't want to mention them at first, but it seems that I can't do it now—" After a pause, she said again: "So can you wait for me for a while? I'll tell you after I finish dealing with the problem."
Gu Huaiyue looked at her, a little worried: "I won't force you, so don't force yourself either."
Yan Zhen shook his hand tightly, agreeing.
Outside the corridor, Jiang Yi walked back and forth with her hands clasped a little uneasily.It wasn't until the door of the ward opened and saw Yan Zhen coming out that he rushed to meet him: "Why, how is it?"
Yan Zhen looked at her, not knowing what tone to use to answer her question.It's just that the expression on Jiang Yi's face was too eager, and the worried mood was really sympathetic, so at this moment, she just replied in a slightly hoarse voice: "It's okay."
"That's good." Jiang Yi felt relieved.
Seeing her relaxed all of a sudden, Yan Zhen couldn't help but want to laugh again: "Thank you for coming to Huaiyue, my grandma is a little unwell, please forgive me for neglecting you."
As if she was about to turn around and leave, Jiang Yi quickly grabbed her arm: "Yan Zhen!"
Yan Zhen stood still: "Do you have anything else to do?"
Jiang Yi looked at her, and said with some difficulty: "I think, I want to go in and see her, can you see it?"
Yan Zhen didn't answer, but stared at her seriously with a pair of eyes that were originally gentle but showing undisguised estrangement at the moment. This kind of staring went down to the bottom of her heart, and Jiang Yi was quite at a loss: "If it's inconvenient, then Me, then I..."
"It's not inconvenient." Yan Zhen cut off the conversation, "But I think for the sake of grandma's health, it's better for you to see her less."
"Yan Zhen, I..." Jiang Yi looked at Yan Zhen's indifferent expression, not knowing what to say.
Yan Zhen looked at her and said, "Actually, to be honest, since I saw you last time, I deliberately didn't want grandma to see you. Because after all, there are some things you don't remember, but we do." Here she suddenly smiled Laughing, as if laughing at himself: "Sometimes forgetfulness is really a happy thing."
The sarcasm in her words was so obvious that Jiang Yi pretended not to understand, and her expression was a little embarrassed.After being silent for a while, Jiang Yi said hesitantly: "Yan Zhen, I think you may have misunderstood. I, your grandma and your father..."
"Please don't mention him." Yan Zhen interrupted her suddenly, and repeated again regardless of Jiang Yi's astonishment, "Please don't mention my father casually." Because you are really not qualified.
Perhaps Jiang Yi never expected that not long ago, she thought that a gentle and gentle person would talk to her in such a blunt manner.This is not a good time to talk, she slowly came back to her senses, brushed the broken hair around her ears, trying to cover up her gradual fatigue: "Okay, then, I'll go back first."
Yan Zhen nodded slightly, and let her pass in front of him without looking sideways.
Yan Zhen knew that she won this fight without any effort.But she also knew that she was more bitter than ever before.
When I got back to the ward, grandma had already recovered, and the child was sitting on the side of the bed with his head tilted to make grandma laugh.Grandma's body is a little weak, but she still cheers up to deal with him.After a while, Gu Huai walked over, lifted the child's back collar and walked out, saw Yan Zhen pushing the door in, and stopped in his tracks: "Are you back?"
"Hmm." Yan Zhen touched his face and took the kid from him, "Where are you going?"
Gu Huaiyue looked down at Yan Zhen tidying his son's coat: "I will hand him over to Tu Xiao, and let her take Jia Ming home to sleep overnight."
One is because I am afraid that the child will not be able to sleep well in the hospital; the other is that there are too many emergencies and I am afraid that it will affect him.Of course the children were not happy, but seeing the adults were so busy, they could only pout and agree.
Yan Zhen kissed him on the cheek, and watched the two of them leave. Suddenly, there was a slight cough from grandma behind him. Yan Zhen came back to his senses, and walked quickly to the hospital bed: "Grandma, sleep for a while, it's time." It's still early."
Grandma shook her head: "It's better to sleep less when you're old, it's not good if you sleep too much."
Yan Zhen smiled and tucked the quilt for her.Grandma watched her do all this, and finally stretched out her hand slowly, holding her: "Is she gone?"
"Well." Yan Zhen tried his best to pretend nothing had happened, "Do you still feel uncomfortable? We are in the hospital, and it is convenient to call a doctor."
Grandma shook her head slightly, looking at the gradually falling twilight outside the window: "I really shouldn't have come this time, not only did I bring you trouble, but I also saw people you didn't want to see."
"Grandma." Yan Zhen took her hand, "Don't say that, Huai Yue and I miss you and Jia Ming very much. We are glad that you are here. As for other things, they are unexpected, so don't go Go with your heart."
"I know." Grandma patted her hand in turn, "It's just that Jiang Yi..."
"I know too!" Yan Zhen cut off grandma's words in a timely manner, not letting her say more, "I understand."
"You know?" Grandma had never told her this before, so she was a little surprised to hear her say that now, and forced her upper body to ask, "You, how do you know?"
Seeing grandma's anxious expression, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless: "You and dad always treat me as a child, but in fact I have grown up and know everything I need to know." Zhen quickly said: "Okay, I once saw a photo in Dad's photo album."
It was a photo of two people. In the photo, the man was wearing a simple military uniform, and his not-so-handsome face was filled with a faint happy smile.
That was her father.Yan Zhen guessed that the reason why his father smiled so happily might be because of the woman in his arms.The woman who was gently held in his arms was very beautiful, with a faint smile on her lips.
Yan Zhen already knew the word "mother" when he saw this photo.She didn't dare to apply this word to this woman casually, but her intuition told her that the word "Jiang Yi" that her father called out when he was seriously ill that time was the name of this woman.
Perhaps, "Jiang Yi" will be her mother?Where is she then?
The answer to this question was told to her by her drunken father himself.Grandma was not at home that time, and father came home after drinking a lot of wine because of the celebration party.At that time, when she was still young, she was taking care of her father while thinking about the photos, and whispered in her mouth: "It would be great if I had a mother."
Unexpectedly, my father heard it, and lay on the bed laughing: "Silly boy, your mother, leave early!"
Yan Zhen asked: "Then why don't you chase it back?"
Suppressing his drunkenness, his father raised his arm and rubbed her hair: "I can't chase her back, I can't even chase her back."
At that time, Yan Zhen still wanted to ask more questions, but his father waved his hand, and eventually fell asleep overwhelmed with alcohol.After waking up, the father didn't remember what he said, and Yan Zhen never mentioned any topic about his mother since then.
"I know this is a taboo in our family. Neither you nor Dad are willing to talk about it, so I won't ask any more."
Yan Zhen ended the memory lightly, but the grandma who had been looking at her sighed: "You have been obedient and obedient since you were a child, and never asked me and your father any questions about your mother, and sometimes I feel puzzled when I think about it. I didn’t expect you to know so much—” At this point, grandma smiled: “It seems that your father is right, you have been a child with a lot of thoughts since you were a child, and you are always suppressing everything in your heart, like a gourd .”
Yan Zhen understands that if you are bored for a long time, you will have a heart disease, which is not easy to cure, so for so many years, she has tried her best not to think so much, and the most important thing is to live happily.And now, she still asks herself so.
Yan Zhen rubbed his face: "Okay, let's not talk about this. This bottle is finished, I will call the nurse to change another bottle for you!"
As he said that, he stood up and walked out, his pace was not as steady as before, but rather rushed.
When grandma saw it, she knew that she was deliberately avoiding this topic.
In fact, this is also good, she doesn't need to know so much, the current life is a kind of happiness to her.
The children's vacation was originally very short, but due to the unexpected accident of grandma, the return date of the children and grandma was unexpectedly delayed by two days.
In just a few days, the sweet-talking kid coaxed the old man and the old lady of the Tu family into joy. After staying for one night, he insisted on staying for two more nights.Military doctor Tu brought him here with a frown every day. Needless to say, some people are favored and others are not.
When Dr. Tu Jun came to hand over the child this morning, he brought good news that Gu Huaiyue's surgery date had been fixed. Yan Zhen was overjoyed when he heard that, and hugged the child and kissed him a few times.
The child was very dissatisfied with Teacher Yan's behavior of throwing him to others in the past two days. His fat feet in calfskin shoes stomped on the ground so loudly that Yan Zhen had to remind him: "Hold down, the people in the ward Uncles, aunts and children are resting."
The kid pouted: "Who told you not to play with me!"
The kid was so angry that he finally came to visit, but the two adults had to entrust him to others.Well now, he's going home today.Yan Zhen was also a little guilty. When he was about to comfort the little guy, he looked up and saw two very familiar people sitting in the corridor outside the ward, and his footsteps could not help but pause.
It's Jiang Yi and grandma.
Yan Zhen retracted his hands slightly to his palms, and pressed his lips tightly. After staying in place for a while, he took Jia Ming and walked over quickly. Seeing the grandma who was wearing a thin coat, she couldn't help but get a little angry: "Grandma, you How did you come out with so little on?"
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Yi.Jiang Yi was a little surprised by her appearance, and the smile she showed was a little stiff.For everything about her, Yan Zhen tried his best to pretend to turn a blind eye.
Grandma was also taken aback by her, and after calming down her breath, she looked at her in a panic: "I'll go in right away, why are you in a hurry?!" Saying that, she ignored Yan Zhen, and looked at Jiang Yi: "Go back, don't worry about it. Come see me again. I've said everything I need to say, and you should understand it too."
Jiang Yi nodded and looked at Yan Zhen again.There seemed to be some helplessness in her eyes, seeing Yan Zhen turned her head again, Jiang Yi couldn't help but smiled wryly, picked up her bag and turned to leave.
Within 10 minutes after Jiang Yi left, Yan Zhen didn't say a word.
Served the breakfast for grandma and Jia Ming, and left the rest for Gu Huaiyue who was still asleep.He has been sleeping poorly for the past few days due to the relapse of his old disease, and the hospital is arranging surgery as soon as possible while checking him up and waiting for the results.Last night it was in pain for a long time, and I gradually fell asleep in the early morning.Yan Zhen was a little distressed, so she didn't call him in the morning and let him sleep for a while.
While drinking the porridge, grandma looked at Yan Zhen's face, like a child who made a mistake, and at the end, she lowered her head and muttered: "I didn't say anything to her, that is, you are fine now, so let her stop bothering you .”
"Ah."
"I know you don't want to face her, so isn't this stopping you? Who would have expected you to come back so soon after picking up Jiaming?"
Yan Zhen said "hmm" again, the originally tense jawline relaxed, and the curvature of his lips gradually softened: "I see, let's eat quickly."
The car to pick up grandma and Jia Ming was already waiting outside the hospital.After breakfast, grandma began to pack her luggage.
Yan Zhen's idea was to wait for Gu Huaiyue to wake up and send them away together, but grandma stopped her and didn't let her disturb Gu Huaiyue's rest, they just left quietly.Grandma became stubborn and Yan Zhen had no choice but to turn around and help Jia Ming pack up.
When sending them to the car, the little guy’s pitiful expression made Yan Zhen feel a little uncomfortable, but he could only resist the soreness at the tip of his nose, and carried his small schoolbag on his back: "We will go back after the operation is over, it won't be too soon. For a long time. Dad will also have time at that time, and we will take you out to play together, okay?"
The little guy depressed his little head: "You guys always don't mean what you say, and you promise to take me out to play, but you always go back on your word. I hate it!"
Yan Zhen was speechless, he could only hold his little cheek and kiss him, and promised: "Never this time."
"Really?" The little guy looked at her with his eyes, as if he still couldn't believe it.
Yan Zhen pinched his chubby face: "How about the hook guarantee?"
The little guy hesitated, but still stretched out his hand, and while pulling the hook, he muttered: "If I want to go back on this time, I won't want you guys."
"Okay." She replied softly, watching them leave.
Yan Zhen was never used to this kind of separation scene.Although as a soldier's daughter and a soldier's wife, such a scene is destined to be inevitable.
But there is a saying that is very good, if happiness waits after pain, then what is the difficulty of crossing this gap?There are tens of thousands of people waiting, but not everyone can get happiness.She should be content.
Yan Zhen smiled, turned around and walked inside, but before he walked a few steps, he heard a familiar female voice behind him: "Yan Zhen, can we talk?"
Yan Zhen's footsteps froze in place, she turned her head slowly, and saw Jiang Yi standing behind her expectantly.It turned out that she hadn't left yet.
For a moment, Yan Zhen was covered with a mask of indifference.In fact, she is not good at giving people cold faces, but she doesn't know what kind of emotions she should show to face Jiang Yi.
"About what?" she asked lightly.
Seeing that she didn't directly refuse, Jiang Yi was a little happy: "If you want, we can go to the teahouse outside the hospital and have a sit. It won't delay you for a long time. Okay?"
Looking at her expectant eyes, Yan Zhen hated himself for the first time for not being able to harden his heart so that he could say no to her without any worries.Now I can't do it.
After a moment of silence, when Jiang Yi's expression gradually became awkward, Yan Zhen nodded silently.
A teahouse outside the hospital.
Yan Zhen didn't come here often, so he ordered a pot of scented tea, poured a cup for himself and Jiang Yi, and watched the rising mist without saying a word.
Jiang Yi took a sip of tea, put down the cup and looked up at Yan Zhen.
Maybe it was her illusion, she always felt that Yan Zhen who could sit face to face with her was not as tense as when they met in the hospital two days ago.Maybe now, she thought, was the time to talk.
Jiang Yi said after deliberation: "Yan Zhen."
"Huh?" Yan Zhen raised his head and looked directly at her, Jiang Yi paused for the coldness in his eyes that could not be restrained in time.
She was slightly taken aback, and soon recovered a decent smile: "I know, you may be very angry with me. Because I ignored your advice and came to see your grandma again. But Yan Zhen, there are some things that I really really want to know."
Yan Zhen stroked the teacup and said, "I understand, but as I said, I don't really want to mention my father in front of you."
"Yan Zhen, don't be like this—" Jiang Yi stretched out her hand to hold hers, but Yan Zhen shrank back subconsciously, and Jiang Yi stopped in embarrassment.
Yan Zhen thought, Jiang Yi probably has never been so humble in her life.
That said, she did choose a husband who would make her respectable, who didn't know what it was to be desperate, let alone what it was to be discouraged.Yan Zhen has only lived for a few years, less than 30 years, but Yan Zhen feels more tired than her.
"My father, I never mentioned you. So, I don't know what to say to you." Yan Zhen looked at her and said lightly, "My father died too hastily. When I arrived, he His whole body was already stiff and cold, so he didn't have time to leave any last words. I once tried to ask about my mother, but that was when he was drunk, and I never dared to mention it when he was awake, because I was afraid He will be sad."
"He passed away?" Jiang Yi's face suddenly turned pale, and she stood up from the booth almost uncontrollably.
Yan Zhen raised his head and looked at her, his eyes were peaceful: "Grandma didn't tell you? My father has been dead for many years."
Jiang Yi looked at her almost stunned: "He, how did he die?"
"Sudden myocardial infarction, he died when he was sent to the hospital." Realizing that his voice was a little hoarse, Yan Zhen hurriedly took a sip of tea and cleared his voice, "But these may not have anything to do with you."
Jiang Yi looked at her in confusion, blinked her eyes for a long time, and sat down: "How could this happen?" She seemed to be asking Yan Zhen, and also seemed to be muttering to herself.
Yan Zhen silently poured the last cup of tea for the two of them: "Nothing is impossible." She smiled and looked at Jiang Yi: "I have a good time with Huai Yue, so I always feel that everything in the past is not so important Yes. If possible, I really want to pretend that you never showed up. I don't want to know your identity, because that is already a part of the past for me, and I don't mind your family, as long as we don't interfere with each other. Excuse me... "She paused here, as if she was considering her words: "Excuse me, can you meet my request?"
"Yan Zhen, I..." Jiang Yi stood up in a panic, but when she saw Yan Zhen's eyes were so firm, she finally compromised slowly.As if all the strength to support her was exhausted, she almost slumped in the booth, and her voice was extremely hoarse: "Okay. I'm sorry to disturb you during this time."
Yan Zhen smiled and tried to maintain his composure and said, "It's okay."
After speaking, he called the waiter to settle the bill, nodded slightly to Jiang Yi, and without waiting for her response, stood up and left quickly.
She thought, maybe there is no more suitable ending for her and Jiang Yi than this. She doesn't want to disappoint her father, nor force herself, so the only way is to be a stranger.
"What are you dazed about?"
A white hand dangled in front of his eyes, Yan Zhen came to his senses, glared at Military Doctor Tu angrily, and concealed the haze in his eyes by the way: "What's the matter?"
"Look at your tone." Tu Xiao pouted, "I'm here to tell you good news."
"What good news?" She looked at her suspiciously.
"The chief of staff's surgery date has been set, let's see." He said and handed her a few thin pieces of paper.
Yan Zhen was a little surprised. He glanced at her and then lowered his head to look at the document. His eyes were full of excitement and excitement.Tu Xiao looked at her, smiled slightly, turned around and went to work.
Seeing this, Yan Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
After the operation, Gu Huaiyue can go back to City C to recuperate.The weather is getting cooler, but she still likes City C a little more.Because it is warmer and more comfortable than City B there.And she still has a small thought, that is, after returning to City C, even if Gu Huaiyue wants to be busy with work, she can't do it.
Although he was recovering from his injuries during this period, people from the division came to him to talk about some military matters.She also knew that he couldn't completely get rid of all the work, but she wanted him to recover from his injuries more.The body is the root of the revolution.
Yan Zhen realized that she was becoming more and more dependent on Gu Huaiyue. The first night she met Jiang Yi in the hospital, she tentatively told him about the matter between her and Jiang Yi.In fact, she didn't hesitate beforehand, but he dispelled her doubts with one sentence. He told her that no matter what choice she made, he would support her.Yan Zhen was deeply moved by it, because not every man can do it.Fortunately, she chose him.
It was Liu Xiangdong who came to see Gu Huaiyue today. The two borrowed a small meeting room in the hospital and talked for a long time. By the time Liu Xiangdong left, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.When Gu Huaiyue returned to the ward, Yan Zhen was making the bed. Hearing the sound, he raised his head and smiled at him: "Are you back? Lao Liu left?"
"En." Gu Huaiyue responded lightly, sat down at the end of the bed and watched her busy quietly.
"What's wrong?" Yan Zhen couldn't help but look at him twice, while Gu Huaiyue smiled lightly and held her hand.
"Yan Zhen."
"Ok?"
"I just did the math. Since we got married, we haven't even been together for three months."
Yan Zhen couldn't help being a little surprised, looked at his serious look and smiled: "Guilty?" After speaking, he tapped his chin and made a look of serious thinking: "Actually, I am already very content, you think we have only been married for a year Much better than a military wife who hasn't seen her husband for three years."
Gu Huaiyue looked at her with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. It turned out that this woman is so easy to satisfy.Thinking of this, he involuntarily stretched out his hand to hold her closer.But Yan Zhen blushed a little, seeing that he was abducted into his lap again without knowing it, and pushed him with his hands: "Put me down, you have to rest quickly, you have to have an examination tomorrow to prepare for the operation!"
But Gu Huaiyue didn't move at all, the hands around her waist were tightly wrapped, but his tone was leisurely: "I don't want to let go."
What, what does this person want to do?Yan Zhen struggled on his leg in a fit of embarrassment, but when she heard Gu Huaiyue take a dark breath, she immediately stopped and looked up at him nervously: "What's wrong, did you mess with your leg?"
Gu Huaiyue's eyes are bright, Yan Zhen might not be so easy to be fooled in normal times, but now that he is injured and his body is in a tense state, Yan Zhen doesn't care about anything when he panics.
"It hurts a little." He took another breath slowly, "Don't move around, I'll help you down."
"Okay." Yan Zhen carefully cooperated with him to move her legs, but as soon as her toes touched the ground before she could stand still, she was forced to change the direction and stand up - she was crushed on the bed!
Watching someone slowly leaning over, Yan Zhen was furious: "You, how are you acting like a rascal!"
"I wanted to tease you." Gu Huaiyue was a little innocent.
"Then how did it become like this?!" Yan Zhen couldn't help shaking his legs in protest, but he was suppressed within a few strokes.
"Then—you started the fire yourself."
It's been so long since I touched her, yet I dare to move around him like that.Chief of Staff Gu feels he has good reason to suspect that she did it on purpose.Yan Zhen wanted to cry but had no tears, you said how could this man still have so much strength after he was clearly injured.Half of the clothes were taken off, that is to say, half of the weapons were handed over. Teacher Yan was still stubbornly resisting.
"You, your legs..."
"No problem."
"Wait a minute, someone will make rounds later..." Someone's hand had already made her speechless.
"Not in the way."
Hearing the movement, she retreated automatically. I don't know if his reasons were too good or her will to resist was too weak. It didn't take long for Yan Zhen to be defeated. In confusion, she stretched out her arms to wrap his arms around his neck, and unconsciously led him away. yourself closer.Gu Huaiyue smiled lowly, and seized the opportunity to attack the last line of defense.Yan Zhen's whole body froze, and the next second he fell into pleasure, unable to control himself.
The consequence of this night of indulgence is that Yan Zhen dragged his sore legs "with tears in his eyes" to the water room to destroy the "criminal evidence" early in the morning, while someone who was proud of the spring breeze took a bath to prepare for the morning operation Last check before.
When Yan Zhen was standing with her waist supported and staring at the rotating washing machine drum in front of her in a daze, someone patted her shoulder from behind suddenly, she was so frightened that she turned around in a jerk, and she breathed a sigh of relief after seeing clearly that it was Tu Xiao.Tu Xiao looked at her and grinned: "Why are you so nervous?"
"No, nothing." Yan Zhen hemmed and turned his head.
Doctor Tu looked at her with a sinister smile for a few minutes, and Yan Zhen was frightened by her: "What are you still doing here? You don't need to work anymore?"
Doctor Tu shook his head without any burden: "It's not my turn today. The old military doctor who went to the border post to organize the physical examination has returned. He will be in charge of the surgery, and Uncle Gu has also notified you. Now you can rest assured ?”
This is of course more secure!But considering the face of Doctor Tu, Yan Zhen just smiled slightly.
Tu Xiao looked at her busy with her chin, and sighed slightly: "It's kind of you to do this."
"Ok?"
Tu Xiao shrugged, showing a smile: "I mean it's great that you are doing this now, it's really enviable to look at."
Yan Zhen burst into a smile.In fact, it is not easy for them to come to this day. Yan Zhen can still recall how he was when he first met him. At that time, he thought it was just a simple meeting with his parents, but he did not expect that he would go so far.
"Sometimes the encounters in life are really wonderful. Maybe the person you meet at some point will make you a lifetime."
"Hey, hey, you're so sour!" The single military doctor Tu expressed strong dissatisfaction, Yan Zhen blinked and smiled, and went outside with a basin to dry the sheets.
The old military doctor made detailed rehabilitation arrangements after learning about Gu Huaiyue's medical history.Chief of Staff Gu looked even worse, and he had to follow the old man's instructions. Let alone half a year, he would toast to celebrate being able to fully participate in the daily work of the army within a year.And with the support of authority, Yan Zhen must have more confidence than him, and he was also very arrogant when he was helping him for a walk all the way.
Gu Huaiyue once again stated: "I promised for half a year before, and now you can't go back on your word."
Yan Zhen pretended not to hear.
"Yan Zhen?"
"Oh, are you annoying?" Yan Zhen waved his hand, as if to wave away a noisy crow.Gu Huaiyue squinted at her cheating, but he was completely convinced in his heart.Well, who let him take advantage of it last night.Now let's talk about it for the time being, and then slowly grind it out later. After making up his mind, Gu Huaiyue stretched out his arms to embrace Yan Zhen.
Yan Zhen took a panoramic view of his unspeakable expression from the corner of his eye, and felt that this man was a little cute at the moment.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but before the smile reached her eyes, the person standing at the door of the ward not far away forcibly suppressed her back.
Shen Mengjiao? !She subconsciously stopped at the same spot, looking at this person who was almost forgotten by her.
Shen Mengjiao's face was pale, her eyes just slightly skipped over Gu Huaiyue, and then fixedly locked on Yan Zhen.Get up close and you'll notice her mood swings.
Gu Huaiyue noticed it, and greeted her politely: "Meng Jiao, you're here."
Shen Mengjiao smiled indifferently: "If possible, I don't want to come here either."
Gu Huaiyue frowned slightly, but soon relaxed, he patted Yan Zhen on the shoulder, and brought her back to her senses: "Go into the room."
Yan Zhen nodded, and before she had time to speak, she heard Shen Mengjiao say: "I want to talk to you alone."
Hearing this, Gu Huaiyue laughed first: "You have to avoid me if you want to tell your sister-in-law?"
Shen Mengjiao didn't speak, just looked at Yan Zhen quietly.Yan Zhen was silent for a while, but finally turned around and tugged at Gu Huaiyue's sleeve. "Let me talk to her." Seeing that he wanted to object, she smiled, "Some problems have to be solved."
Gu Huaiyue pursed his lips, and finally slowed down his tone under her persistent gaze: "Then tell me here, I'll talk to the old military doctor."
"Yeah." Yan Zhen nodded.
It wasn't until Gu Huaiyue's back disappeared into the corridor that Yan Zhen turned around and looked at Shen Mengjiao: "Come in."
Shen Mengjiao bit her lip, followed her into the ward with her high heels.
Yan Zhen didn't seem to notice her emotions at all, and even poured her a cup of tea politely, treating her like a guest.
Shen Mengjiao ignored the steaming cup of tea in front of her, and said bluntly, "Let me ask you, what did you say to my mother when my mother came to the hospital that day?"
"Nothing."
"Don't be perfunctory!" Shen Mengjiao couldn't help getting angry, "I didn't say anything, why would my mother rummage through the box to find photos as soon as she got home, and when she found the photos, she held them and refused to let go of tears?! Since then, I have been in a bad mood. Stable, you told me now and didn't say anything, how can you make me believe it?"
"Then you can ask your mother, there is no need to come here and yell." Yan Zhen said in a deep voice, "Huai Yue is still recuperating."
Facing her harsh words, Shen Mengjiao tried her best to control her emotions while saying, "If I can really ask, I will. The key question is that my father won't let me ask, saying that it is my mother's heart disease." .They all understand it very clearly, but they keep it from me alone!"
"Then why don't you ask them why they are hiding it from you?"
"It's not because of you!" Shen Mengjiao said sharply, "My mother knows the embarrassment between you and me, she can't tell me!"
After all, he was still a person who was hurt by his mother, Yan Zhen couldn't help clenching his fists, and when he raised his head, his expression had returned to the original one. "Yeah, how could they let you know." She said, suddenly feeling very funny, "How could your mother let you know that I am probably your sister?"
Half-sister?This kind of talk is ridiculous to listen to.And Shen Mengjiao really didn't believe it, she was taken aback: "You, what are you kidding?"
Yan Zhen smiled wryly, and she herself hoped that this was a joke.
Yan Zhen's silence was an admission to Shen Mengjiao, she almost clenched her fists tightly so as not to lose her composure on the spot.
"You, when did you know? I don't remember when my mother met you again except for the time in the family courtyard."
"I've seen it before." Ignoring Shen Mengjiao's surprise, Yan Zhen said in a low voice, "But you don't remember, in City C, at Mr. Gu's birthday party." That was the first time she saw the photo in more than [-] years The real person on the Internet, even Yan Zhen himself felt strange that she could recognize each other immediately after such a long time, "Besides, it's a joke, there is a photo of him and your mother in my father's photo album. Your mother , she was beautiful when she was young."
Shen Mengjiao sat back on the sofa with the same expression as when Jiang Yi heard the news of her father's death.But Yan Zhen still sat firmly in front of her, watching her quietly.
After a long time, I don't know how long it took before Shen Mengjiao said in a hoarse voice: "Then, he took you there that night?"
Yan Zhen didn't speak, and acquiesced.
"So, you have been together since then?" Shen Mengjiao suddenly laughed at herself, "Then my behavior should be ridiculous in your eyes. I like him, and I even became Jia Ming's class teacher because of it." , Oh, by the way, it was your job before that. You must have laughed at me behind my back many times, right?"
"At that time, Huai Yue and I had just met. And do you think I had the right to have time to laugh at you at that time? I couldn't take care of myself at that time, thanks to you."
"So you marry someone you just met not long ago, is it revenge on me?"
Shen Mengjiao retorted sharply, and when these words came out, both of them stood there in a daze.Even Shen Mengjiao didn't expect her to blurt out such words, she looked at Yan Zhen with some disbelief.
But Yan Zhen quickly came back to his senses, and blurted out: "You are not qualified to judge my marriage at will."
"Then how many people know about your marriage?" Shen Mengjiao seemed to be caught by the momentary loss of consciousness, and she asked sharply, "In the whole school, who else knows besides me? Even your good friend I'm afraid Wang Ying doesn't even know!"
"What does that mean?" Yan Zhen frowned.
"It can only show that you are guilty!"
The seven characters speak loud and clear.Yan Zhen couldn't find any words to refute for a while.
Guilty?How could she be guilty?
Yan Zhen stroked his forehead, trying to think clearly about Shen Mengjiao's words, but at this moment there was a knock on the door.The voice is low, but exceptionally clear.
Yan Zhen and Shen Mengjiao looked at each other, and dragged their feet to open the door. The person standing outside the door made her eyes widen, and she almost stammered in greeting: "Dad, Dad, you are here."
The person who came was Mr. Gu, Gu Changzhi.
The old man gave a faint "hmm", looked up at the two people in the room, and then slowly said, "Where's Huaiyue?"
Yan Zhen was stunned for a moment: "Huaiyue, Huaiyue said to go to the doctor to talk about the operation, and he just went there not long ago."
"Oh." The old man nodded, "Then you two continue talking, and I'll go take a look."
The action of brushing her hair paused, Yan Zhen was a little confused about what the old man meant now.She glanced at Shen Mengjiao and said, "I'll go with you, we, we're done talking."
Shen Mengjiao also came back to her senses, and bowed slightly to Mr. Gu: "Uncle, I will take my leave first."
Gu Changzhi smiled a little: "Take care of your father."
Shen Mengjiao nodded, paused when passing Yan Zhen, and then left quickly.
Gu Changzhi stood at the door with his hands behind his back and watched Shen Mengjiao until her back gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor, then he slowly turned his head, looked at Yan Zhen and said, "Let's go."
Yan Zhen wasn't sure what the old man heard, nor how he felt after hearing it, but right now he didn't mention it, and she couldn't ask directly, so she could only nod and follow behind the old man silently.
It was the off-duty time, and there were a lot of people coming and going in the corridor, and Yan Zhen felt restless amidst the noise.
Not just because of Jiang Yi's affairs, nor because of Shen Mengjiao's words.What made her really panic was that after Shen Mengjiao finished those seven words, she suddenly felt her heart sink.
Is she—a guilty conscience?
The old man Gu who was walking in front suddenly stopped, and Yan Zhen braked the brakes when his nose almost hit him.Mr. Gu looked back at her, seeing that she was still confused, he couldn't help but smiled: "You see, you are more confused than me, I heard from Tu Xiao that the attending physician of the second child has changed, and the changed doctor I don't know where your office is, you go ahead and lead the way!"
Yan Zhen smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and walked ahead.
Unfortunately, the old military doctor and Gu Huaiyue were nowhere to be seen in the office, only a young man who looked like an intern was helping the old military doctor sort out the desk.The young doctor smiled and told her that the old military doctor had taken Gu Huaiyue for a detailed examination, and asked them to wait a while.
Yan Zhen nodded and looked at the old man: "Dad, do you see?"
"Just wait here for a while." The old man said, and sat down on the sofa in the room.
I received a call from Tu Xiao a few days ago, but unfortunately I have been too busy with work to come here.It just so happened that there was an event for veteran cadres organized by the General Staff in City B today. He was invited to participate, and after the end, he came over without having time to change his clothes.The three stars on the shoulder badge made the young military doctor in front of him a little nervous, and the old man signaled to him: "Go and do your work."
The young military doctor nodded and left quickly.
Yan Zhen stood there for a moment, remembering that he hadn't poured tea for Gu Changzhi yet: "Dad, I'll get you a glass of water, please wait."
"No need." The old man waved his hand, "I just came over after drinking a full stomach of tea, you sit down."
"Oh? Good." Yan Zhen sat down opposite the old man again.
The old man took off his hat, put it on his lap, and plucked the golden hat ribbon silently.Yan Zhen twisted his fingers, thinking he should say something.But before she could speak, Mr. Gu raised his head and looked at her: "Yesterday your mother went to your and Huaiyue's houses, and happened to receive a call from your school, saying it was your mobile phone. It never got through."
Yan Zhen snorted, and took out his phone to check that it was shut down: "Is there something wrong with the school? I came in a bit of a hurry, so I just asked Director Chang for a leave of absence."
"It's nothing." The old man smiled, "Your colleague said that the Education Bureau will organize young teachers to aid Tibet in November, and go to a county in Linzhi area to support education for half a year. I wonder if you will sign up."
"Aid Tibet?"
"Well." The old man nodded, "Your mother refused for you, saying that it was too far away and too hard. You have been tired enough these days, and I can't let you go there to suffer."
Yan Zhen smiled slightly: "I'm not tired."
"Really?" The old man said, seemingly thoughtful, "Your colleague is quite sorry, because the school encourages single young teachers to participate in such activities, saying that there is no worries."
Hearing this, Yan Zhen jumped up from the chair all of a sudden: "Dad——"
According to this situation, the old man must have understood something, Yan Zhen wanted to explain anxiously, but was suppressed by the old man raised his hand: "Son, your mother is a rough-headed person who didn't think much about it. It's a joke. But I didn't take it as a joke." The old man looked at her and said with a serious expression: "Your school colleagues don't know about your marriage to Huai Yue?"
Yan Zhen lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, the effect was equivalent to acquiescing.
"Why don't you say it? Do you think you can't say it if you simply get a certificate without a wedding?"
"No!" Yan Zhen raised his head hastily, "It's not because of this!"
"Why is that?" the old man asked, "Is it really like what Meng Jiao said?"
Yan Zhen bit his lower lip and lowered his head.
"Girl, don't be afraid. I'm not forcing you, I just want to understand what's going on, and what makes my excellent daughter-in-law so difficult." After speaking, the old man looked at her with gentle and patient eyes.This is rare in a person who has been vigorous and resolute all his life.
Yan Zhen clenched her hands and loosened them, loosened them and tightened them again. Finally, she raised her head and looked at the old man: "Dad, when Huai Yue and I got married, we were really in a hurry. In fact, it wasn't just me, even Huai Yue It's the same with Yue Ye, both of us are a bit rushed to the shelves, and we have no bottom in our hearts, but we don't want the other party to see that we have no bottom."
"I understand." The old man said, "This matter is also related to me and your mother. We are urging Huai Yue too hard."
Yan Zhen shook his head: "I don't blame you."
She tried to describe the situation in a calm voice.The old man listened very carefully, but his expression became more and more solemn.After Yan Zhen finished speaking, he almost didn't dare to look directly at him, and silently lowered his head.
The old man fell silent, as if he was digesting what she said, and he said after a while: "Then your biological mother is Jiang Yi?"
"I didn't ask her for confirmation, because the answer is not important to me."
"But you still care after all." The old man said bluntly, "So, what Meng Jiao said is at least half right."
After all, the old man heard their conversation.
Yan Zhen moved his lips, but did not refute.
The old man couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Although I didn't object when you and Huai Yue were going to get married, I still said it first. I didn't say this to you, but to Huai Yue, because I knew what he was thinking. I'm afraid that he will be forced to find someone to marry and perfuse the family. I'm afraid that he's still as immature as before and won't have a good life after getting married. I'm afraid that he will feel sorry for you in the end."
"Dad." Yan Zhen called him in a low voice.
"Although your family background is ordinary, I believe that I see people with eyes. You are a good girl. If Huai Yue feels sorry for you because of himself, it would be too wrong. This is not what a soldier should be responsible for. But you know me Why didn't you object? I have so many concerns, and I have too many reasons to say to you, 'Think again' and 'Don't be so anxious', but I finally agreed. Girl, do you know why?"
Mr. Gu looked at her, his eyes were still gentle, calm and sharp: "Because you gave me confidence. You said you are the most suitable, so I told myself, let them try. What does my son think of this girl? They all know, let them try. Girl, if Huai Yue hides anything from you, I won't agree, do you know?"
"I know." Yan Zhen bit his lip, with an uncontrollable sourness in his nose, "Stop talking, I know."
"Let me finish." The old man smiled, "Because I only said half of what I said, it is easy for people to misunderstand that I am pretending to be noble. I will not hide it from you, I have so many concerns, and the most fundamental thing is to The second child. He is 35 now, and he can't stand a few troubles in marriage. The family knows how he lived in the years before he married you, and no one wants to see him do it again, do you understand?"
The old man spoke earnestly, Yan Zhen only nodded heavily.
With another low sigh, the old man said: "Girl, no matter whether the second child said it or not, I can see that he takes you seriously. He is in a much better state now than before. Your mother and I saw it too." I'm very happy. But now I want to ask you how you feel, are you the same as him?"
Yan Zhen didn't know how to answer, she had hidden too many thoughts, like an undercurrent buried in the deep sea ready to go, once it was opened, there would be a violent wind and huge waves.Because he knew it was like this, Yan Zhen would rather keep it in his heart forever and not come out.
This short silence also made Gu Changzhi understand a little bit. He put on his hat again, stood up and patted Yan Zhen on the shoulder: "Okay, I just said this to let you understand the thoughts of the second child. Follow me, I don't like to talk when I have something to say. Now that I'm done talking, let's not talk about it for now. Let's go and see Huai Yue first. He's going to have an operation in the next two days, so we can't make a mistake at this juncture. .”
"Okay." Yan Zhen replied hoarsely.
(End of this chapter)
Grandma's illness was very urgent. Fortunately, she was in the hospital and the doctor came in time.
After the young doctor did a simple examination on grandma, he confirmed that there was nothing serious. Yan Zhen was still worried, and asked the doctor, "Just a few bottles of drip?"
The young doctor explained with a smile: "It's okay, it's the lack of blood supply that leads to shortness of breath. The old man's blood pressure is a bit high, so we should pay more attention to this and don't let her be overly stimulated."
Yan Zhen nodded.
Tu Xiao sent the doctor away.Yan Zhen stood by the bed, except for tucking up the corners of grandma's quilt and brushing her hair, she remained motionless for the rest of the time.The child looked at her but didn't dare to speak, Gu Huaiyue settled the child, walked over and put Yan Zhen's shoulders on his shoulders: "Yan Zhen."
Yan Zhen came back to his senses and looked at him.
"Don't worry, grandma is fine."
"I know." She took his hand, "Thank you."
Gu Huaiyue scratched her nose: "What stupid things are you talking about?"
Yan Zhen bowed his head and did not refute.After grandma's breathing became long and even, Yan Zhen turned his head, looked at Gu Huaiyue and said, "Huaiyue, there are some things I have never told you. I didn't want to mention them at first, but it seems that I can't do it now—" After a pause, she said again: "So can you wait for me for a while? I'll tell you after I finish dealing with the problem."
Gu Huaiyue looked at her, a little worried: "I won't force you, so don't force yourself either."
Yan Zhen shook his hand tightly, agreeing.
Outside the corridor, Jiang Yi walked back and forth with her hands clasped a little uneasily.It wasn't until the door of the ward opened and saw Yan Zhen coming out that he rushed to meet him: "Why, how is it?"
Yan Zhen looked at her, not knowing what tone to use to answer her question.It's just that the expression on Jiang Yi's face was too eager, and the worried mood was really sympathetic, so at this moment, she just replied in a slightly hoarse voice: "It's okay."
"That's good." Jiang Yi felt relieved.
Seeing her relaxed all of a sudden, Yan Zhen couldn't help but want to laugh again: "Thank you for coming to Huaiyue, my grandma is a little unwell, please forgive me for neglecting you."
As if she was about to turn around and leave, Jiang Yi quickly grabbed her arm: "Yan Zhen!"
Yan Zhen stood still: "Do you have anything else to do?"
Jiang Yi looked at her, and said with some difficulty: "I think, I want to go in and see her, can you see it?"
Yan Zhen didn't answer, but stared at her seriously with a pair of eyes that were originally gentle but showing undisguised estrangement at the moment. This kind of staring went down to the bottom of her heart, and Jiang Yi was quite at a loss: "If it's inconvenient, then Me, then I..."
"It's not inconvenient." Yan Zhen cut off the conversation, "But I think for the sake of grandma's health, it's better for you to see her less."
"Yan Zhen, I..." Jiang Yi looked at Yan Zhen's indifferent expression, not knowing what to say.
Yan Zhen looked at her and said, "Actually, to be honest, since I saw you last time, I deliberately didn't want grandma to see you. Because after all, there are some things you don't remember, but we do." Here she suddenly smiled Laughing, as if laughing at himself: "Sometimes forgetfulness is really a happy thing."
The sarcasm in her words was so obvious that Jiang Yi pretended not to understand, and her expression was a little embarrassed.After being silent for a while, Jiang Yi said hesitantly: "Yan Zhen, I think you may have misunderstood. I, your grandma and your father..."
"Please don't mention him." Yan Zhen interrupted her suddenly, and repeated again regardless of Jiang Yi's astonishment, "Please don't mention my father casually." Because you are really not qualified.
Perhaps Jiang Yi never expected that not long ago, she thought that a gentle and gentle person would talk to her in such a blunt manner.This is not a good time to talk, she slowly came back to her senses, brushed the broken hair around her ears, trying to cover up her gradual fatigue: "Okay, then, I'll go back first."
Yan Zhen nodded slightly, and let her pass in front of him without looking sideways.
Yan Zhen knew that she won this fight without any effort.But she also knew that she was more bitter than ever before.
When I got back to the ward, grandma had already recovered, and the child was sitting on the side of the bed with his head tilted to make grandma laugh.Grandma's body is a little weak, but she still cheers up to deal with him.After a while, Gu Huai walked over, lifted the child's back collar and walked out, saw Yan Zhen pushing the door in, and stopped in his tracks: "Are you back?"
"Hmm." Yan Zhen touched his face and took the kid from him, "Where are you going?"
Gu Huaiyue looked down at Yan Zhen tidying his son's coat: "I will hand him over to Tu Xiao, and let her take Jia Ming home to sleep overnight."
One is because I am afraid that the child will not be able to sleep well in the hospital; the other is that there are too many emergencies and I am afraid that it will affect him.Of course the children were not happy, but seeing the adults were so busy, they could only pout and agree.
Yan Zhen kissed him on the cheek, and watched the two of them leave. Suddenly, there was a slight cough from grandma behind him. Yan Zhen came back to his senses, and walked quickly to the hospital bed: "Grandma, sleep for a while, it's time." It's still early."
Grandma shook her head: "It's better to sleep less when you're old, it's not good if you sleep too much."
Yan Zhen smiled and tucked the quilt for her.Grandma watched her do all this, and finally stretched out her hand slowly, holding her: "Is she gone?"
"Well." Yan Zhen tried his best to pretend nothing had happened, "Do you still feel uncomfortable? We are in the hospital, and it is convenient to call a doctor."
Grandma shook her head slightly, looking at the gradually falling twilight outside the window: "I really shouldn't have come this time, not only did I bring you trouble, but I also saw people you didn't want to see."
"Grandma." Yan Zhen took her hand, "Don't say that, Huai Yue and I miss you and Jia Ming very much. We are glad that you are here. As for other things, they are unexpected, so don't go Go with your heart."
"I know." Grandma patted her hand in turn, "It's just that Jiang Yi..."
"I know too!" Yan Zhen cut off grandma's words in a timely manner, not letting her say more, "I understand."
"You know?" Grandma had never told her this before, so she was a little surprised to hear her say that now, and forced her upper body to ask, "You, how do you know?"
Seeing grandma's anxious expression, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless: "You and dad always treat me as a child, but in fact I have grown up and know everything I need to know." Zhen quickly said: "Okay, I once saw a photo in Dad's photo album."
It was a photo of two people. In the photo, the man was wearing a simple military uniform, and his not-so-handsome face was filled with a faint happy smile.
That was her father.Yan Zhen guessed that the reason why his father smiled so happily might be because of the woman in his arms.The woman who was gently held in his arms was very beautiful, with a faint smile on her lips.
Yan Zhen already knew the word "mother" when he saw this photo.She didn't dare to apply this word to this woman casually, but her intuition told her that the word "Jiang Yi" that her father called out when he was seriously ill that time was the name of this woman.
Perhaps, "Jiang Yi" will be her mother?Where is she then?
The answer to this question was told to her by her drunken father himself.Grandma was not at home that time, and father came home after drinking a lot of wine because of the celebration party.At that time, when she was still young, she was taking care of her father while thinking about the photos, and whispered in her mouth: "It would be great if I had a mother."
Unexpectedly, my father heard it, and lay on the bed laughing: "Silly boy, your mother, leave early!"
Yan Zhen asked: "Then why don't you chase it back?"
Suppressing his drunkenness, his father raised his arm and rubbed her hair: "I can't chase her back, I can't even chase her back."
At that time, Yan Zhen still wanted to ask more questions, but his father waved his hand, and eventually fell asleep overwhelmed with alcohol.After waking up, the father didn't remember what he said, and Yan Zhen never mentioned any topic about his mother since then.
"I know this is a taboo in our family. Neither you nor Dad are willing to talk about it, so I won't ask any more."
Yan Zhen ended the memory lightly, but the grandma who had been looking at her sighed: "You have been obedient and obedient since you were a child, and never asked me and your father any questions about your mother, and sometimes I feel puzzled when I think about it. I didn’t expect you to know so much—” At this point, grandma smiled: “It seems that your father is right, you have been a child with a lot of thoughts since you were a child, and you are always suppressing everything in your heart, like a gourd .”
Yan Zhen understands that if you are bored for a long time, you will have a heart disease, which is not easy to cure, so for so many years, she has tried her best not to think so much, and the most important thing is to live happily.And now, she still asks herself so.
Yan Zhen rubbed his face: "Okay, let's not talk about this. This bottle is finished, I will call the nurse to change another bottle for you!"
As he said that, he stood up and walked out, his pace was not as steady as before, but rather rushed.
When grandma saw it, she knew that she was deliberately avoiding this topic.
In fact, this is also good, she doesn't need to know so much, the current life is a kind of happiness to her.
The children's vacation was originally very short, but due to the unexpected accident of grandma, the return date of the children and grandma was unexpectedly delayed by two days.
In just a few days, the sweet-talking kid coaxed the old man and the old lady of the Tu family into joy. After staying for one night, he insisted on staying for two more nights.Military doctor Tu brought him here with a frown every day. Needless to say, some people are favored and others are not.
When Dr. Tu Jun came to hand over the child this morning, he brought good news that Gu Huaiyue's surgery date had been fixed. Yan Zhen was overjoyed when he heard that, and hugged the child and kissed him a few times.
The child was very dissatisfied with Teacher Yan's behavior of throwing him to others in the past two days. His fat feet in calfskin shoes stomped on the ground so loudly that Yan Zhen had to remind him: "Hold down, the people in the ward Uncles, aunts and children are resting."
The kid pouted: "Who told you not to play with me!"
The kid was so angry that he finally came to visit, but the two adults had to entrust him to others.Well now, he's going home today.Yan Zhen was also a little guilty. When he was about to comfort the little guy, he looked up and saw two very familiar people sitting in the corridor outside the ward, and his footsteps could not help but pause.
It's Jiang Yi and grandma.
Yan Zhen retracted his hands slightly to his palms, and pressed his lips tightly. After staying in place for a while, he took Jia Ming and walked over quickly. Seeing the grandma who was wearing a thin coat, she couldn't help but get a little angry: "Grandma, you How did you come out with so little on?"
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Yi.Jiang Yi was a little surprised by her appearance, and the smile she showed was a little stiff.For everything about her, Yan Zhen tried his best to pretend to turn a blind eye.
Grandma was also taken aback by her, and after calming down her breath, she looked at her in a panic: "I'll go in right away, why are you in a hurry?!" Saying that, she ignored Yan Zhen, and looked at Jiang Yi: "Go back, don't worry about it. Come see me again. I've said everything I need to say, and you should understand it too."
Jiang Yi nodded and looked at Yan Zhen again.There seemed to be some helplessness in her eyes, seeing Yan Zhen turned her head again, Jiang Yi couldn't help but smiled wryly, picked up her bag and turned to leave.
Within 10 minutes after Jiang Yi left, Yan Zhen didn't say a word.
Served the breakfast for grandma and Jia Ming, and left the rest for Gu Huaiyue who was still asleep.He has been sleeping poorly for the past few days due to the relapse of his old disease, and the hospital is arranging surgery as soon as possible while checking him up and waiting for the results.Last night it was in pain for a long time, and I gradually fell asleep in the early morning.Yan Zhen was a little distressed, so she didn't call him in the morning and let him sleep for a while.
While drinking the porridge, grandma looked at Yan Zhen's face, like a child who made a mistake, and at the end, she lowered her head and muttered: "I didn't say anything to her, that is, you are fine now, so let her stop bothering you .”
"Ah."
"I know you don't want to face her, so isn't this stopping you? Who would have expected you to come back so soon after picking up Jiaming?"
Yan Zhen said "hmm" again, the originally tense jawline relaxed, and the curvature of his lips gradually softened: "I see, let's eat quickly."
The car to pick up grandma and Jia Ming was already waiting outside the hospital.After breakfast, grandma began to pack her luggage.
Yan Zhen's idea was to wait for Gu Huaiyue to wake up and send them away together, but grandma stopped her and didn't let her disturb Gu Huaiyue's rest, they just left quietly.Grandma became stubborn and Yan Zhen had no choice but to turn around and help Jia Ming pack up.
When sending them to the car, the little guy’s pitiful expression made Yan Zhen feel a little uncomfortable, but he could only resist the soreness at the tip of his nose, and carried his small schoolbag on his back: "We will go back after the operation is over, it won't be too soon. For a long time. Dad will also have time at that time, and we will take you out to play together, okay?"
The little guy depressed his little head: "You guys always don't mean what you say, and you promise to take me out to play, but you always go back on your word. I hate it!"
Yan Zhen was speechless, he could only hold his little cheek and kiss him, and promised: "Never this time."
"Really?" The little guy looked at her with his eyes, as if he still couldn't believe it.
Yan Zhen pinched his chubby face: "How about the hook guarantee?"
The little guy hesitated, but still stretched out his hand, and while pulling the hook, he muttered: "If I want to go back on this time, I won't want you guys."
"Okay." She replied softly, watching them leave.
Yan Zhen was never used to this kind of separation scene.Although as a soldier's daughter and a soldier's wife, such a scene is destined to be inevitable.
But there is a saying that is very good, if happiness waits after pain, then what is the difficulty of crossing this gap?There are tens of thousands of people waiting, but not everyone can get happiness.She should be content.
Yan Zhen smiled, turned around and walked inside, but before he walked a few steps, he heard a familiar female voice behind him: "Yan Zhen, can we talk?"
Yan Zhen's footsteps froze in place, she turned her head slowly, and saw Jiang Yi standing behind her expectantly.It turned out that she hadn't left yet.
For a moment, Yan Zhen was covered with a mask of indifference.In fact, she is not good at giving people cold faces, but she doesn't know what kind of emotions she should show to face Jiang Yi.
"About what?" she asked lightly.
Seeing that she didn't directly refuse, Jiang Yi was a little happy: "If you want, we can go to the teahouse outside the hospital and have a sit. It won't delay you for a long time. Okay?"
Looking at her expectant eyes, Yan Zhen hated himself for the first time for not being able to harden his heart so that he could say no to her without any worries.Now I can't do it.
After a moment of silence, when Jiang Yi's expression gradually became awkward, Yan Zhen nodded silently.
A teahouse outside the hospital.
Yan Zhen didn't come here often, so he ordered a pot of scented tea, poured a cup for himself and Jiang Yi, and watched the rising mist without saying a word.
Jiang Yi took a sip of tea, put down the cup and looked up at Yan Zhen.
Maybe it was her illusion, she always felt that Yan Zhen who could sit face to face with her was not as tense as when they met in the hospital two days ago.Maybe now, she thought, was the time to talk.
Jiang Yi said after deliberation: "Yan Zhen."
"Huh?" Yan Zhen raised his head and looked directly at her, Jiang Yi paused for the coldness in his eyes that could not be restrained in time.
She was slightly taken aback, and soon recovered a decent smile: "I know, you may be very angry with me. Because I ignored your advice and came to see your grandma again. But Yan Zhen, there are some things that I really really want to know."
Yan Zhen stroked the teacup and said, "I understand, but as I said, I don't really want to mention my father in front of you."
"Yan Zhen, don't be like this—" Jiang Yi stretched out her hand to hold hers, but Yan Zhen shrank back subconsciously, and Jiang Yi stopped in embarrassment.
Yan Zhen thought, Jiang Yi probably has never been so humble in her life.
That said, she did choose a husband who would make her respectable, who didn't know what it was to be desperate, let alone what it was to be discouraged.Yan Zhen has only lived for a few years, less than 30 years, but Yan Zhen feels more tired than her.
"My father, I never mentioned you. So, I don't know what to say to you." Yan Zhen looked at her and said lightly, "My father died too hastily. When I arrived, he His whole body was already stiff and cold, so he didn't have time to leave any last words. I once tried to ask about my mother, but that was when he was drunk, and I never dared to mention it when he was awake, because I was afraid He will be sad."
"He passed away?" Jiang Yi's face suddenly turned pale, and she stood up from the booth almost uncontrollably.
Yan Zhen raised his head and looked at her, his eyes were peaceful: "Grandma didn't tell you? My father has been dead for many years."
Jiang Yi looked at her almost stunned: "He, how did he die?"
"Sudden myocardial infarction, he died when he was sent to the hospital." Realizing that his voice was a little hoarse, Yan Zhen hurriedly took a sip of tea and cleared his voice, "But these may not have anything to do with you."
Jiang Yi looked at her in confusion, blinked her eyes for a long time, and sat down: "How could this happen?" She seemed to be asking Yan Zhen, and also seemed to be muttering to herself.
Yan Zhen silently poured the last cup of tea for the two of them: "Nothing is impossible." She smiled and looked at Jiang Yi: "I have a good time with Huai Yue, so I always feel that everything in the past is not so important Yes. If possible, I really want to pretend that you never showed up. I don't want to know your identity, because that is already a part of the past for me, and I don't mind your family, as long as we don't interfere with each other. Excuse me... "She paused here, as if she was considering her words: "Excuse me, can you meet my request?"
"Yan Zhen, I..." Jiang Yi stood up in a panic, but when she saw Yan Zhen's eyes were so firm, she finally compromised slowly.As if all the strength to support her was exhausted, she almost slumped in the booth, and her voice was extremely hoarse: "Okay. I'm sorry to disturb you during this time."
Yan Zhen smiled and tried to maintain his composure and said, "It's okay."
After speaking, he called the waiter to settle the bill, nodded slightly to Jiang Yi, and without waiting for her response, stood up and left quickly.
She thought, maybe there is no more suitable ending for her and Jiang Yi than this. She doesn't want to disappoint her father, nor force herself, so the only way is to be a stranger.
"What are you dazed about?"
A white hand dangled in front of his eyes, Yan Zhen came to his senses, glared at Military Doctor Tu angrily, and concealed the haze in his eyes by the way: "What's the matter?"
"Look at your tone." Tu Xiao pouted, "I'm here to tell you good news."
"What good news?" She looked at her suspiciously.
"The chief of staff's surgery date has been set, let's see." He said and handed her a few thin pieces of paper.
Yan Zhen was a little surprised. He glanced at her and then lowered his head to look at the document. His eyes were full of excitement and excitement.Tu Xiao looked at her, smiled slightly, turned around and went to work.
Seeing this, Yan Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
After the operation, Gu Huaiyue can go back to City C to recuperate.The weather is getting cooler, but she still likes City C a little more.Because it is warmer and more comfortable than City B there.And she still has a small thought, that is, after returning to City C, even if Gu Huaiyue wants to be busy with work, she can't do it.
Although he was recovering from his injuries during this period, people from the division came to him to talk about some military matters.She also knew that he couldn't completely get rid of all the work, but she wanted him to recover from his injuries more.The body is the root of the revolution.
Yan Zhen realized that she was becoming more and more dependent on Gu Huaiyue. The first night she met Jiang Yi in the hospital, she tentatively told him about the matter between her and Jiang Yi.In fact, she didn't hesitate beforehand, but he dispelled her doubts with one sentence. He told her that no matter what choice she made, he would support her.Yan Zhen was deeply moved by it, because not every man can do it.Fortunately, she chose him.
It was Liu Xiangdong who came to see Gu Huaiyue today. The two borrowed a small meeting room in the hospital and talked for a long time. By the time Liu Xiangdong left, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.When Gu Huaiyue returned to the ward, Yan Zhen was making the bed. Hearing the sound, he raised his head and smiled at him: "Are you back? Lao Liu left?"
"En." Gu Huaiyue responded lightly, sat down at the end of the bed and watched her busy quietly.
"What's wrong?" Yan Zhen couldn't help but look at him twice, while Gu Huaiyue smiled lightly and held her hand.
"Yan Zhen."
"Ok?"
"I just did the math. Since we got married, we haven't even been together for three months."
Yan Zhen couldn't help being a little surprised, looked at his serious look and smiled: "Guilty?" After speaking, he tapped his chin and made a look of serious thinking: "Actually, I am already very content, you think we have only been married for a year Much better than a military wife who hasn't seen her husband for three years."
Gu Huaiyue looked at her with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. It turned out that this woman is so easy to satisfy.Thinking of this, he involuntarily stretched out his hand to hold her closer.But Yan Zhen blushed a little, seeing that he was abducted into his lap again without knowing it, and pushed him with his hands: "Put me down, you have to rest quickly, you have to have an examination tomorrow to prepare for the operation!"
But Gu Huaiyue didn't move at all, the hands around her waist were tightly wrapped, but his tone was leisurely: "I don't want to let go."
What, what does this person want to do?Yan Zhen struggled on his leg in a fit of embarrassment, but when she heard Gu Huaiyue take a dark breath, she immediately stopped and looked up at him nervously: "What's wrong, did you mess with your leg?"
Gu Huaiyue's eyes are bright, Yan Zhen might not be so easy to be fooled in normal times, but now that he is injured and his body is in a tense state, Yan Zhen doesn't care about anything when he panics.
"It hurts a little." He took another breath slowly, "Don't move around, I'll help you down."
"Okay." Yan Zhen carefully cooperated with him to move her legs, but as soon as her toes touched the ground before she could stand still, she was forced to change the direction and stand up - she was crushed on the bed!
Watching someone slowly leaning over, Yan Zhen was furious: "You, how are you acting like a rascal!"
"I wanted to tease you." Gu Huaiyue was a little innocent.
"Then how did it become like this?!" Yan Zhen couldn't help shaking his legs in protest, but he was suppressed within a few strokes.
"Then—you started the fire yourself."
It's been so long since I touched her, yet I dare to move around him like that.Chief of Staff Gu feels he has good reason to suspect that she did it on purpose.Yan Zhen wanted to cry but had no tears, you said how could this man still have so much strength after he was clearly injured.Half of the clothes were taken off, that is to say, half of the weapons were handed over. Teacher Yan was still stubbornly resisting.
"You, your legs..."
"No problem."
"Wait a minute, someone will make rounds later..." Someone's hand had already made her speechless.
"Not in the way."
Hearing the movement, she retreated automatically. I don't know if his reasons were too good or her will to resist was too weak. It didn't take long for Yan Zhen to be defeated. In confusion, she stretched out her arms to wrap his arms around his neck, and unconsciously led him away. yourself closer.Gu Huaiyue smiled lowly, and seized the opportunity to attack the last line of defense.Yan Zhen's whole body froze, and the next second he fell into pleasure, unable to control himself.
The consequence of this night of indulgence is that Yan Zhen dragged his sore legs "with tears in his eyes" to the water room to destroy the "criminal evidence" early in the morning, while someone who was proud of the spring breeze took a bath to prepare for the morning operation Last check before.
When Yan Zhen was standing with her waist supported and staring at the rotating washing machine drum in front of her in a daze, someone patted her shoulder from behind suddenly, she was so frightened that she turned around in a jerk, and she breathed a sigh of relief after seeing clearly that it was Tu Xiao.Tu Xiao looked at her and grinned: "Why are you so nervous?"
"No, nothing." Yan Zhen hemmed and turned his head.
Doctor Tu looked at her with a sinister smile for a few minutes, and Yan Zhen was frightened by her: "What are you still doing here? You don't need to work anymore?"
Doctor Tu shook his head without any burden: "It's not my turn today. The old military doctor who went to the border post to organize the physical examination has returned. He will be in charge of the surgery, and Uncle Gu has also notified you. Now you can rest assured ?”
This is of course more secure!But considering the face of Doctor Tu, Yan Zhen just smiled slightly.
Tu Xiao looked at her busy with her chin, and sighed slightly: "It's kind of you to do this."
"Ok?"
Tu Xiao shrugged, showing a smile: "I mean it's great that you are doing this now, it's really enviable to look at."
Yan Zhen burst into a smile.In fact, it is not easy for them to come to this day. Yan Zhen can still recall how he was when he first met him. At that time, he thought it was just a simple meeting with his parents, but he did not expect that he would go so far.
"Sometimes the encounters in life are really wonderful. Maybe the person you meet at some point will make you a lifetime."
"Hey, hey, you're so sour!" The single military doctor Tu expressed strong dissatisfaction, Yan Zhen blinked and smiled, and went outside with a basin to dry the sheets.
The old military doctor made detailed rehabilitation arrangements after learning about Gu Huaiyue's medical history.Chief of Staff Gu looked even worse, and he had to follow the old man's instructions. Let alone half a year, he would toast to celebrate being able to fully participate in the daily work of the army within a year.And with the support of authority, Yan Zhen must have more confidence than him, and he was also very arrogant when he was helping him for a walk all the way.
Gu Huaiyue once again stated: "I promised for half a year before, and now you can't go back on your word."
Yan Zhen pretended not to hear.
"Yan Zhen?"
"Oh, are you annoying?" Yan Zhen waved his hand, as if to wave away a noisy crow.Gu Huaiyue squinted at her cheating, but he was completely convinced in his heart.Well, who let him take advantage of it last night.Now let's talk about it for the time being, and then slowly grind it out later. After making up his mind, Gu Huaiyue stretched out his arms to embrace Yan Zhen.
Yan Zhen took a panoramic view of his unspeakable expression from the corner of his eye, and felt that this man was a little cute at the moment.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but before the smile reached her eyes, the person standing at the door of the ward not far away forcibly suppressed her back.
Shen Mengjiao? !She subconsciously stopped at the same spot, looking at this person who was almost forgotten by her.
Shen Mengjiao's face was pale, her eyes just slightly skipped over Gu Huaiyue, and then fixedly locked on Yan Zhen.Get up close and you'll notice her mood swings.
Gu Huaiyue noticed it, and greeted her politely: "Meng Jiao, you're here."
Shen Mengjiao smiled indifferently: "If possible, I don't want to come here either."
Gu Huaiyue frowned slightly, but soon relaxed, he patted Yan Zhen on the shoulder, and brought her back to her senses: "Go into the room."
Yan Zhen nodded, and before she had time to speak, she heard Shen Mengjiao say: "I want to talk to you alone."
Hearing this, Gu Huaiyue laughed first: "You have to avoid me if you want to tell your sister-in-law?"
Shen Mengjiao didn't speak, just looked at Yan Zhen quietly.Yan Zhen was silent for a while, but finally turned around and tugged at Gu Huaiyue's sleeve. "Let me talk to her." Seeing that he wanted to object, she smiled, "Some problems have to be solved."
Gu Huaiyue pursed his lips, and finally slowed down his tone under her persistent gaze: "Then tell me here, I'll talk to the old military doctor."
"Yeah." Yan Zhen nodded.
It wasn't until Gu Huaiyue's back disappeared into the corridor that Yan Zhen turned around and looked at Shen Mengjiao: "Come in."
Shen Mengjiao bit her lip, followed her into the ward with her high heels.
Yan Zhen didn't seem to notice her emotions at all, and even poured her a cup of tea politely, treating her like a guest.
Shen Mengjiao ignored the steaming cup of tea in front of her, and said bluntly, "Let me ask you, what did you say to my mother when my mother came to the hospital that day?"
"Nothing."
"Don't be perfunctory!" Shen Mengjiao couldn't help getting angry, "I didn't say anything, why would my mother rummage through the box to find photos as soon as she got home, and when she found the photos, she held them and refused to let go of tears?! Since then, I have been in a bad mood. Stable, you told me now and didn't say anything, how can you make me believe it?"
"Then you can ask your mother, there is no need to come here and yell." Yan Zhen said in a deep voice, "Huai Yue is still recuperating."
Facing her harsh words, Shen Mengjiao tried her best to control her emotions while saying, "If I can really ask, I will. The key question is that my father won't let me ask, saying that it is my mother's heart disease." .They all understand it very clearly, but they keep it from me alone!"
"Then why don't you ask them why they are hiding it from you?"
"It's not because of you!" Shen Mengjiao said sharply, "My mother knows the embarrassment between you and me, she can't tell me!"
After all, he was still a person who was hurt by his mother, Yan Zhen couldn't help clenching his fists, and when he raised his head, his expression had returned to the original one. "Yeah, how could they let you know." She said, suddenly feeling very funny, "How could your mother let you know that I am probably your sister?"
Half-sister?This kind of talk is ridiculous to listen to.And Shen Mengjiao really didn't believe it, she was taken aback: "You, what are you kidding?"
Yan Zhen smiled wryly, and she herself hoped that this was a joke.
Yan Zhen's silence was an admission to Shen Mengjiao, she almost clenched her fists tightly so as not to lose her composure on the spot.
"You, when did you know? I don't remember when my mother met you again except for the time in the family courtyard."
"I've seen it before." Ignoring Shen Mengjiao's surprise, Yan Zhen said in a low voice, "But you don't remember, in City C, at Mr. Gu's birthday party." That was the first time she saw the photo in more than [-] years The real person on the Internet, even Yan Zhen himself felt strange that she could recognize each other immediately after such a long time, "Besides, it's a joke, there is a photo of him and your mother in my father's photo album. Your mother , she was beautiful when she was young."
Shen Mengjiao sat back on the sofa with the same expression as when Jiang Yi heard the news of her father's death.But Yan Zhen still sat firmly in front of her, watching her quietly.
After a long time, I don't know how long it took before Shen Mengjiao said in a hoarse voice: "Then, he took you there that night?"
Yan Zhen didn't speak, and acquiesced.
"So, you have been together since then?" Shen Mengjiao suddenly laughed at herself, "Then my behavior should be ridiculous in your eyes. I like him, and I even became Jia Ming's class teacher because of it." , Oh, by the way, it was your job before that. You must have laughed at me behind my back many times, right?"
"At that time, Huai Yue and I had just met. And do you think I had the right to have time to laugh at you at that time? I couldn't take care of myself at that time, thanks to you."
"So you marry someone you just met not long ago, is it revenge on me?"
Shen Mengjiao retorted sharply, and when these words came out, both of them stood there in a daze.Even Shen Mengjiao didn't expect her to blurt out such words, she looked at Yan Zhen with some disbelief.
But Yan Zhen quickly came back to his senses, and blurted out: "You are not qualified to judge my marriage at will."
"Then how many people know about your marriage?" Shen Mengjiao seemed to be caught by the momentary loss of consciousness, and she asked sharply, "In the whole school, who else knows besides me? Even your good friend I'm afraid Wang Ying doesn't even know!"
"What does that mean?" Yan Zhen frowned.
"It can only show that you are guilty!"
The seven characters speak loud and clear.Yan Zhen couldn't find any words to refute for a while.
Guilty?How could she be guilty?
Yan Zhen stroked his forehead, trying to think clearly about Shen Mengjiao's words, but at this moment there was a knock on the door.The voice is low, but exceptionally clear.
Yan Zhen and Shen Mengjiao looked at each other, and dragged their feet to open the door. The person standing outside the door made her eyes widen, and she almost stammered in greeting: "Dad, Dad, you are here."
The person who came was Mr. Gu, Gu Changzhi.
The old man gave a faint "hmm", looked up at the two people in the room, and then slowly said, "Where's Huaiyue?"
Yan Zhen was stunned for a moment: "Huaiyue, Huaiyue said to go to the doctor to talk about the operation, and he just went there not long ago."
"Oh." The old man nodded, "Then you two continue talking, and I'll go take a look."
The action of brushing her hair paused, Yan Zhen was a little confused about what the old man meant now.She glanced at Shen Mengjiao and said, "I'll go with you, we, we're done talking."
Shen Mengjiao also came back to her senses, and bowed slightly to Mr. Gu: "Uncle, I will take my leave first."
Gu Changzhi smiled a little: "Take care of your father."
Shen Mengjiao nodded, paused when passing Yan Zhen, and then left quickly.
Gu Changzhi stood at the door with his hands behind his back and watched Shen Mengjiao until her back gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor, then he slowly turned his head, looked at Yan Zhen and said, "Let's go."
Yan Zhen wasn't sure what the old man heard, nor how he felt after hearing it, but right now he didn't mention it, and she couldn't ask directly, so she could only nod and follow behind the old man silently.
It was the off-duty time, and there were a lot of people coming and going in the corridor, and Yan Zhen felt restless amidst the noise.
Not just because of Jiang Yi's affairs, nor because of Shen Mengjiao's words.What made her really panic was that after Shen Mengjiao finished those seven words, she suddenly felt her heart sink.
Is she—a guilty conscience?
The old man Gu who was walking in front suddenly stopped, and Yan Zhen braked the brakes when his nose almost hit him.Mr. Gu looked back at her, seeing that she was still confused, he couldn't help but smiled: "You see, you are more confused than me, I heard from Tu Xiao that the attending physician of the second child has changed, and the changed doctor I don't know where your office is, you go ahead and lead the way!"
Yan Zhen smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and walked ahead.
Unfortunately, the old military doctor and Gu Huaiyue were nowhere to be seen in the office, only a young man who looked like an intern was helping the old military doctor sort out the desk.The young doctor smiled and told her that the old military doctor had taken Gu Huaiyue for a detailed examination, and asked them to wait a while.
Yan Zhen nodded and looked at the old man: "Dad, do you see?"
"Just wait here for a while." The old man said, and sat down on the sofa in the room.
I received a call from Tu Xiao a few days ago, but unfortunately I have been too busy with work to come here.It just so happened that there was an event for veteran cadres organized by the General Staff in City B today. He was invited to participate, and after the end, he came over without having time to change his clothes.The three stars on the shoulder badge made the young military doctor in front of him a little nervous, and the old man signaled to him: "Go and do your work."
The young military doctor nodded and left quickly.
Yan Zhen stood there for a moment, remembering that he hadn't poured tea for Gu Changzhi yet: "Dad, I'll get you a glass of water, please wait."
"No need." The old man waved his hand, "I just came over after drinking a full stomach of tea, you sit down."
"Oh? Good." Yan Zhen sat down opposite the old man again.
The old man took off his hat, put it on his lap, and plucked the golden hat ribbon silently.Yan Zhen twisted his fingers, thinking he should say something.But before she could speak, Mr. Gu raised his head and looked at her: "Yesterday your mother went to your and Huaiyue's houses, and happened to receive a call from your school, saying it was your mobile phone. It never got through."
Yan Zhen snorted, and took out his phone to check that it was shut down: "Is there something wrong with the school? I came in a bit of a hurry, so I just asked Director Chang for a leave of absence."
"It's nothing." The old man smiled, "Your colleague said that the Education Bureau will organize young teachers to aid Tibet in November, and go to a county in Linzhi area to support education for half a year. I wonder if you will sign up."
"Aid Tibet?"
"Well." The old man nodded, "Your mother refused for you, saying that it was too far away and too hard. You have been tired enough these days, and I can't let you go there to suffer."
Yan Zhen smiled slightly: "I'm not tired."
"Really?" The old man said, seemingly thoughtful, "Your colleague is quite sorry, because the school encourages single young teachers to participate in such activities, saying that there is no worries."
Hearing this, Yan Zhen jumped up from the chair all of a sudden: "Dad——"
According to this situation, the old man must have understood something, Yan Zhen wanted to explain anxiously, but was suppressed by the old man raised his hand: "Son, your mother is a rough-headed person who didn't think much about it. It's a joke. But I didn't take it as a joke." The old man looked at her and said with a serious expression: "Your school colleagues don't know about your marriage to Huai Yue?"
Yan Zhen lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, the effect was equivalent to acquiescing.
"Why don't you say it? Do you think you can't say it if you simply get a certificate without a wedding?"
"No!" Yan Zhen raised his head hastily, "It's not because of this!"
"Why is that?" the old man asked, "Is it really like what Meng Jiao said?"
Yan Zhen bit his lower lip and lowered his head.
"Girl, don't be afraid. I'm not forcing you, I just want to understand what's going on, and what makes my excellent daughter-in-law so difficult." After speaking, the old man looked at her with gentle and patient eyes.This is rare in a person who has been vigorous and resolute all his life.
Yan Zhen clenched her hands and loosened them, loosened them and tightened them again. Finally, she raised her head and looked at the old man: "Dad, when Huai Yue and I got married, we were really in a hurry. In fact, it wasn't just me, even Huai Yue It's the same with Yue Ye, both of us are a bit rushed to the shelves, and we have no bottom in our hearts, but we don't want the other party to see that we have no bottom."
"I understand." The old man said, "This matter is also related to me and your mother. We are urging Huai Yue too hard."
Yan Zhen shook his head: "I don't blame you."
She tried to describe the situation in a calm voice.The old man listened very carefully, but his expression became more and more solemn.After Yan Zhen finished speaking, he almost didn't dare to look directly at him, and silently lowered his head.
The old man fell silent, as if he was digesting what she said, and he said after a while: "Then your biological mother is Jiang Yi?"
"I didn't ask her for confirmation, because the answer is not important to me."
"But you still care after all." The old man said bluntly, "So, what Meng Jiao said is at least half right."
After all, the old man heard their conversation.
Yan Zhen moved his lips, but did not refute.
The old man couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Although I didn't object when you and Huai Yue were going to get married, I still said it first. I didn't say this to you, but to Huai Yue, because I knew what he was thinking. I'm afraid that he will be forced to find someone to marry and perfuse the family. I'm afraid that he's still as immature as before and won't have a good life after getting married. I'm afraid that he will feel sorry for you in the end."
"Dad." Yan Zhen called him in a low voice.
"Although your family background is ordinary, I believe that I see people with eyes. You are a good girl. If Huai Yue feels sorry for you because of himself, it would be too wrong. This is not what a soldier should be responsible for. But you know me Why didn't you object? I have so many concerns, and I have too many reasons to say to you, 'Think again' and 'Don't be so anxious', but I finally agreed. Girl, do you know why?"
Mr. Gu looked at her, his eyes were still gentle, calm and sharp: "Because you gave me confidence. You said you are the most suitable, so I told myself, let them try. What does my son think of this girl? They all know, let them try. Girl, if Huai Yue hides anything from you, I won't agree, do you know?"
"I know." Yan Zhen bit his lip, with an uncontrollable sourness in his nose, "Stop talking, I know."
"Let me finish." The old man smiled, "Because I only said half of what I said, it is easy for people to misunderstand that I am pretending to be noble. I will not hide it from you, I have so many concerns, and the most fundamental thing is to The second child. He is 35 now, and he can't stand a few troubles in marriage. The family knows how he lived in the years before he married you, and no one wants to see him do it again, do you understand?"
The old man spoke earnestly, Yan Zhen only nodded heavily.
With another low sigh, the old man said: "Girl, no matter whether the second child said it or not, I can see that he takes you seriously. He is in a much better state now than before. Your mother and I saw it too." I'm very happy. But now I want to ask you how you feel, are you the same as him?"
Yan Zhen didn't know how to answer, she had hidden too many thoughts, like an undercurrent buried in the deep sea ready to go, once it was opened, there would be a violent wind and huge waves.Because he knew it was like this, Yan Zhen would rather keep it in his heart forever and not come out.
This short silence also made Gu Changzhi understand a little bit. He put on his hat again, stood up and patted Yan Zhen on the shoulder: "Okay, I just said this to let you understand the thoughts of the second child. Follow me, I don't like to talk when I have something to say. Now that I'm done talking, let's not talk about it for now. Let's go and see Huai Yue first. He's going to have an operation in the next two days, so we can't make a mistake at this juncture. .”
"Okay." Yan Zhen replied hoarsely.
