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

Mrs. Lin's mouth opened slightly and she was left speechless by Cheng Wan's question.

Wang and Cheng Daniu were also silent for a moment.

Cheng Wan sighed, "Mom, dad, I just think it's human nature for my eldest brother to like Nian Nian. He didn't do anything wrong."

Cheng Wan turned to look at Cheng Daping, who was still kneeling with his head lowered, and said softly: "The eldest brother knows the gap between him and Nian Nian better than anyone else, so the eldest brother just likes her secretly, and he never bothered Nian Nian. , I have never even thought about marrying Niannian home."

"The reason the eldest brother doesn't want to get married now is because he has someone in his heart. He can't accept marrying another girl at the moment. He doesn't want to delay other girls either. Give him some time."

There was silence in the room for a while.

Cheng Daping looked up at Cheng Wan and smiled at Cheng Wan, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Is it because of Miss Xu that you want to join the army?"

Mrs. Lin's voice lost its vitality and had a sense of vicissitudes of life.

Cheng Daping and Mrs. Lin looked at each other.

"It's definitely a lie to say that it has nothing to do with her, but Miss Xu is definitely not the whole reason why I want to join the army. What I said before is sincere. I am a man, I want to work hard to find a future, and I want to take risks. Take up the burden that I, the elder brother, should bear."

Cheng Daping spoke very frankly, without any intention of concealing his inner thoughts.

"Mistress, father, mother, everything today has nothing to do with Miss Xu. She did nothing and knows nothing. Please don't have any objections to her because of my affairs. She would be too innocent and wronged."

Cheng Wan looked at Cheng Daping in surprise.

She didn't expect that Cheng Daping, as an out-and-out ancient, would have such thoughts.

To be honest, Cheng Wan felt that Cheng Daping was already better than at least 60% of the men in the world.

Mrs. Lin glared at Cheng Daping angrily and cursed: "I still need you to teach me this? You are the only one who understands the truth! You are the only one who is a good person!"

Mrs. Wang pursed her lower lip. It was impossible to say that Ms. Xu was partly the reason why she suddenly heard that her son was going to join the army. That was impossible.

She is a mother, an ordinary mother who is afraid that something will happen to her child.

But Mrs. Wang also knew that the incident at home had nothing to do with Miss Xu.

Mrs. Wang took a deep breath, and she had to be more reasonable...

"Don't worry, Mom knows right from wrong."

"Good boy, he is my son, Cheng Daniu, he is a man!"

Cheng Daping smiled.

Cheng Wan also smiled. Her family was more sensible than she thought, and she was very happy.

"Then I want to join the army..."

Cheng Daping asked tentatively.

The originally relaxed atmosphere in the room suddenly changed. Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Wang, and Cheng Daniu all became expressionless.

Mrs. Lin stretched out her clothes and walked out of the hall without saying anything.

Wang and Cheng Daniu also went out.

"What...what does this mean?"

Cheng Daping frowned, not knowing whether Mrs. Lin and the others agreed or not.

Cheng Wan touched her chin and muttered: "They probably haven't thought about it. After all, it's not a trivial matter. Brother, you should get up first."

Deng Xiong, who had been sitting quietly, came over and helped Cheng Daping up from the ground.

"Brother, go join the army and take me with you."

Cheng Wan and Cheng Daping: "???!!!"

"no!"

Cheng Wan and Cheng Daping said in unison.

Deng Xiong scratched the back of his head and said harshly: "I am tall, strong and scary. If I go with my eldest brother, no one will dare to bully my eldest brother. If anyone bullies my eldest brother, I will beat him up! And if I go to the battlefield in the future, I can also protect my eldest brother, I’m a very good fighter!”

Cheng Daping felt warm in his heart, "Brother doesn't need you to protect him. He can protect himself. Just listen to A Wan at home. When you are fifteen years old, go to the village chief to claim the land you have been allocated. You can give it back later." I will find you a good wife and live a good life."

"But"

"No but, third brother, you stay at home with me. I'm scared without you at home."

Cheng Wan directly interrupted Deng Xiong with a very firm tone.

Deng Xiong and Cheng Daping are different.

After all, Cheng Daping still had his brothers and sisters at home, but Deng Xiong was the only one left in their family.

If something happens to Deng Xiong, the Deng Xiong family will be wiped out.

From the day Cheng Daping said he wanted to join the army, for the next five days, the atmosphere at Cheng Wan's house had been very cold.

Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Wang refused to communicate with Cheng Daping. Only Cheng Daniu would occasionally say a word or two to Cheng Daping.

It's just that the content of his speech has nothing to do with joining the army.

Cheng Erniu and Aunt Cheng also knew about the quarrel that took place at Cheng Wan's house that day. After being shocked, they tried to persuade Cheng Daping to give up the idea of ​​joining the army.

But Cheng Daping's attitude was really firm and he wouldn't listen to anyone.

Slowly, no one came to persuade me.

Originally, Cheng Sanping and Li Zhuang should have been very happy to start studying in the school, but they are no longer happy now.

The two children go to and from school together every day. When they get home, they don't dare to say a word except for being taught how to read in the room.

For fear of hitting Mrs. Lin's gun.

Except for Mrs. Lin and the other adults, everyone in the family including Cheng Daping participated in the literacy learning activity.

Cheng Daping did it because Cheng Wan told him that no matter what he wanted to do, it wouldn't work if he didn't know how to read.

Therefore, Cheng Daping took the initiative to join the study team.

On the contrary, Cheng Erping and Deng Xiong were forced into the study team by Cheng Wan.

In Cheng Wan's words, the children at home are all learning to read. If they don't learn, they will be left behind by others until they can no longer catch up.

Cheng Erping and Deng Xiong had a hard time learning to read, especially Deng Xiong.

Five days passed, and he could only recognize three characters.

Just like that, he was so angry.

Secretly facing the tablet of his breast, he showed off that he could now read.

Just when Cheng Wan could hardly stand the cold and awkward atmosphere at home, things took a turn for the better.

In the past five days, there had been no other sounds at Cheng Wan's dinner table except for the sounds of eating and Cheng Wan's occasional whispers to take care of Gu Yu. But tonight, Wang held the bowl and suddenly said: "Go." Your father and I agreed to join the army."

Cheng Daping paused in his chewing movement, froze and looked at Wang in disbelief, his eyes bursting with astonishing light.

Wang's eyes were slightly red, but there was a smile on her face.

"The night we first came to Pingnan Village, Awan asked me if I would support her if she wanted to do something dangerous?"

Wang's smile became softer and she said softly: "I said at that time, yes!"

"Now you are going to do something dangerous. Mom doesn't want to agree, but you insist on going, so Mom can only support you like she supports Awan."

"It's just that Daping, mother was a little scared, so she took a little longer to think about it..."

Wang's voice was choked up.

"mother……"

Cheng Daping's nose felt sour, and the tears he had been holding back for five days finally flowed out.
