Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Mrs. Lin turned around and glared, "What are you waiting for? Daping is already sixteen, not thirteen or fourteen!"

"Besides, it's not like you can get to know each other well in just a short while. When you really get your wife home, it won't be until next year at the earliest."

Mrs. Lin finally rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Listen to me on this matter. I can't cheat my own grandson. I will carefully look for suitable people and girls."

Wang opened her mouth to say something more, but finally closed her mouth and sighed silently.

The eldest son has indeed reached the age where he should be married.

After arriving home, Cheng Wan and Xu Zhinian were thinking about what their new house would look like.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Awan, can I come in and talk to you?"

It's Cheng Daping.

Cheng Wan blinked, somewhat guessing what Cheng Daping was going to tell her.

Xu Zhinian consciously picked up Gu Yu and said with a smile, "Sui Sui, let's go out and play for a while."

Xu Zhinian hugged Gu Yu and walked out, while Cheng Daping walked in.

The moment the two passed each other, they nodded politely to each other.

The door was closed, and Cheng Daping and Cheng Wan were the only ones left in the room.

Cheng Daping was sitting on a stool, with his hands on his knees like fists, and his face was full of tangles.

Cheng Wan sighed, "Brother, do you want to tell me that you like Nian Nian?"

Cheng Daping raised his head instantly, his wide eyes full of shock, "You...how could you..."

"Brother, it's hard to hide your love for someone. Not only did I find out, but Mom also found out. Otherwise, why do you think Mom waited so long to tell Nai about your marriage today?"

Cheng Wan and Cheng Daping looked at each other with serious expressions on their faces.

Cheng Daping lowered his head feebly, twitching the corners of his mouth and showing a wry smile.

"Am I quite self-aware? I don't even know what kind of virtue I have, so I dare to like others."

Cheng Wan approached Cheng Daping, squatted down, and said seriously: "Brother, it is normal to like someone, especially a very good person. It is not wrong for you to like Nian Nian."

Water drops dripped onto the back of Cheng Daping's hand.

"But what's the use? Ah Wan,"

Cheng Daping raised his head and looked at Cheng Wan, with weakness and despair in his eyes.

"I don't even dare to let her know that I like her, for fear of offending her. Ah Wan, me, how can I be worthy of her?"

Cheng Wan looked at Cheng Daping like this and suddenly felt that his nose was a little sore.

Cheng Wan herself has never liked anyone, let alone been in love, but she has seen others talk about it, and has heard others talk about what it feels like to like someone.

That can be very sweet.

It can also be very bitter.

Today, Cheng Daping is suffering from this.

Cheng Wan's face showed a rare look of confusion.

If it were someone else, Cheng Wan could very rationally persuade them to give up as soon as possible so as not to cause more pain to herself.

But this is her big brother.

One side is a big brother, the other side is a good friend.

Cheng Wan frowned, not knowing what to say.

"Awan, I came to you to discuss something with you."

Cheng Daping's eye circles were a little red, but there was a smile in his eyes.

"Brother..."

Cheng Wan's heart ached. She always felt that Cheng Daping was going to say something terrible.

"Awan, I want to join the army."

"Join the army?"

Cheng Wan's eyes widened and her voice rose unconsciously.

Cheng Daping quickly made a "shh" gesture and said, "Keep your voice down."

Cheng Wan looked anxious and lowered her voice: "Brother, do you know what joining the army means? Sooner or later King Rui will send out troops to conquer the world. If you join the army now, there is a high possibility that you will be on the battlefield!"

Seeing Cheng Wan's anxious look, Cheng Daping became calmer and calmer.

He patted Cheng Wan's arm, his voice gentle and firm.

"I know that joining the army is very likely to go to the battlefield, and I also know that if you are not careful, you will lose your life on the battlefield, but Ah Wan,"

Cheng Daping and Cheng Wan looked at each other, with a fascinating light in their eyes.

"I don't want to farm in the village all my life, and I don't want to live under your wings all my life. I want to try to build a career, and in the future I can truly shoulder the responsibility of being a big brother."

As he spoke, Cheng Daping lowered his head again, his voice extremely soft.

"Awan, I want to work hard to be worthy of Miss Xu."

Cheng Wan pursed her lips, "Brother, maybe during your hard work, Nian Nian got married?"

This is cruel to say, but very true.

Cheng Daping's body stiffened, then he raised his head and gave Cheng Wan a forced and free smile.

"Then I naturally want to wish her a happy marriage and peace and joy in her life. Ah Wan, at least I will not regret it in the future after I have worked hard, and my abilities are ultimately my own, so I am not at any loss."

"Even if there's a chance you'll never come back?"

Cheng Daping nodded solemnly, but looked at Cheng Wan with deep apology in his eyes.

"I am so incompetent as a big brother that I always make you worry."

Cheng Wan shook his head gently, "We are all one family, why are you saying such things?"

Cheng Wan stood up and took a deep breath, his face calm.

"Brother, what you need to do next is to convince your mother and father. If they don't agree with you to go, you will give up on joining the army. There are always other ways to make you more capable."

Cheng Wan lowered her head and looked at Cheng Daping with squinted eyes, and said in a condensed voice, "There is only one thing. You must not secretly run away to join the army, causing us to miss you at home without knowing where to go."

"Brother, if you dare to do that, I will never forgive you."

Cheng Daping raised his head and looked at Cheng Wan.

He saw seriousness and determination in Cheng Wan's eyes.

Cheng Daping knew that Cheng Wan kept his word.

If he dares to sneak away and join the army, Cheng Wan will really never recognize him as his big brother again.

Cheng Daping stood up and faced Cheng Wan and promised seriously: "I will never sneak away to join the army without saying hello and without the consent of my father and mother. Don't worry!"

Cheng Wan's expression softened, and she chuckled: "It's not an easy thing to convince Nai and my parents. Brother, have you figured out how to tell them?"

Cheng Daping also relaxed, knowing that Cheng Wan agreed with his idea of ​​joining the army.

In Cheng Daping's heart, as long as Cheng Wan agrees, he will have the courage to persuade Mrs. Lin, Cheng Daniu and Wang.

This is not to regard Cheng Wan's agreement as a reason to persuade Mrs. Lin and the others, but after getting Cheng Wan's agreement, Cheng Daping will feel an indescribable sense of security.

Cheng Daping opened the door and walked out, and saw Xu Zhinian hugging Gu Yu and laughing with several children at home in the yard.

Cheng Dapeng looked at it quietly for two breaths, feeling calm and warm in his heart.

Cheng Daping did not step forward to disturb him, but turned and walked away.

He didn't know that after he turned around, Xu Zhinian turned to look at his back until he couldn't see it anymore...
