It may be a bit early to fall in love at Wan Yuan's age. -" But in the Republic of China, it is already the age to talk about marriage. Many parents want to have grandchildren as early as possible. Their sons have arranged marriages when they were thirteen or fourteen years old.
Although Wan Lei does not advocate this kind of child marriage, he still hopes that Chinese people will marry and have children early. After all, the population is too small. How can we fill up the occupied territory of thousands of miles without having more children. Especially here in Dadongzhou, we must encourage childbirth. .There is strength in numbers.
What worries Wan Lei is the identity of Zhu Ziwei. The Zhu family and the Wan family can be described as enemies. Mr. Wan and Miss Zhu are simply the original versions of Romeo and Juliet. If two people want to get together, they have to overcome all difficulties. It’s not just the young couple, but also the parents of both families working together.
Of course, Wan Lei will not beat up the couple because of Miss Zhu's sensitive identity. But the most important thing for him now is to determine whether these two little guys are really in love. If they are just ordinary friends, then he will save the trouble. I'm heartbroken. But judging from my son's behavior, he is serious this time.
Sons and daughters love each other long while heroes are short-tempered. Wan Lei is also a veteran. He will not interfere in his son's marriage. If his son really wants to marry Miss Zhu in the future, then he will have to come forward. After all, the grievances of the older generation It belongs to the older generation. It has nothing to do with the younger generation. He only needs to remind his son of the dangers that this marriage may face. As for his son's choice, that is his own business.[
Although it was close to winter, the climate in Renzhou was still very pleasant. Under the careful care of military doctors and Wan Yuan, Zhu Ziwei rested for a few days and the malaria was cured. The sun was shining brightly that morning. Wan Lei organized his family to go hunting together. .Zhu Ziwei was also invited.
Maybe it was because it was her first time to go hunting, or maybe it was because it was her first time meeting Wan Lei. Zhu Ziwei was very nervous. But along the way, she saw the five members of the Wan family talking and laughing casually, and her nervousness was relieved. A lot.
Hunting has long been a commonplace meal for the Wan family. Although the wild animals in Dadongzhou are different from those in the Central Plains, they are still generally similar. The immigrants' favorite hunting is a grizzly bear. Because this kind of grizzly bear is omnivorous, it often comes to settlers' farms to steal food. Of course the settlers will not condone these big guys.
Different from traditional hunters who hunt with bows, arrows and traps, immigrants always go hunting with guns. And they hunt in groups. The Wan family is no exception. The five members of the Wan family plus Zhu Ziwei plus ten A personal guard. More than ten people rode tall horses and hunted in a valley. Whether they were bison, deer, rabbits, wild bears or leopards, they were all killed with guns. No less than ten large game animals were hunted in one morning.
It might be the first time to see such a bloody killing scene. It might also be the first time to see the power of a gun. In short, Zhu Ziwei's face turned a little pale and she looked very scared. And the gun in her hand Not a single shot was fired from the small pistol. Naturally, not a single prey was caught.
"Dad, I shot a bear and three bison." Wan Sheng likes this kind of hunting the most. Every time he has to compete with his father and brother. But his marksmanship is not perfect. He hunted All four prey were shot in the heart with one shot.
"Wow. Xiaosheng is even better than your dad. Your dad just hunted three fawns. He's old and useless." Zhao Xue'er praised her son. For her wild son, she was Very satisfied. Although he is wild, he is not arrogant and domineering. He is just stronger than his peers.
"The Yangtze River waves behind it. Of course Xiao Sheng is the most powerful." Wan Lei smiled and patted his youngest son's head. He turned to Wan Yuan and asked, "But Xiao Yuan only hunted two heads this time." The bison are lagging far behind. Maybe their thoughts are not here."
"No. I haven't touched a gun in a few months. My hands are raw. But Xiao Sheng is still the best." Wan Yuan said hurriedly. In fact, he was really a little absent-minded because he found that Zhao Ziwei seemed to be a little resistant to this kind of hunting activity. So after just firing a few shots, I stopped chasing the prey.
"It's almost noon now. Let's go to the river to take a rest and eat some game barbecue." Wan Lei raised his whip and dragged his prey down the hillside.
There are personal guards following. Logically speaking, the dirty work of dissecting prey should not be done by the Wan family. However, Wan Lei has always advocated equality between officers and soldiers, so everyone got busy. They were responsible for breaking down the prey, collecting firewood, setting up the stove and lighting the fire. On the contrary, Zhu Ziwei stood there like a young lady. She couldn't "meddle" in anything. She herself felt a little embarrassed.
After a busy day, more than a dozen people sat around the fire and began to eat and drink. No one was restrained at all. The sound of laughter resounded throughout the valley. Most of the topics discussed were the customs and life of Dadongzhou. Interesting story. Zhu Ziwei couldn't help but want to laugh after hearing this. But she couldn't get in a word. Because the lives of these people were full of passion and adventure. It was so different from the princess life where she used to wear clothes and open her mouth. too far.
Zhu Ziwei acted out of tune with everyone. Wan Yuan was careful and naturally saw it. He wanted to go over and talk to her to relieve his boredom, but Fu Wei insisted on staying by his side. Wan Lei even called to Zhu Ziwei. Let her sit next to you.
For Wan Lei, Zhu Ziwei has a kind of fear. In her previous education, she formed a subconscious concept: Wan Lei is a thug who rules and rules. He kills without blinking and is brutal and domineering. But now at close range Contact. Discovering the roots is not the same thing.
Speaking of barbarism, Mr. Wan is really like a barbarian when he hunts animals. But as soon as he puts down his gun, he can sit with his subordinates and talk. There is no airs at all, and there is no trace of domineering. So Zhu Ziwei just hesitated and stood up and walked to sit next to Wan Lei.
"Dadongzhou is wild and backward. It is not as good as the Central Plains. Miss Zhu is still used to it." Wan Lei asked knowingly. He asked Zhu Ziwei to participate in this hunting activity. In fact, it was also an inspection. But judging from the results of the inspection, Zhu Ziwei She doesn't have the qualifications to be the daughter-in-law of the Wan family. At least she doesn't meet Wan Lei's requirements.
"Thank you uncle for your concern. Aunt Liu and Brother Xiaoyuan take care of me. I am living a good life." Zhu Ziwei said hurriedly.
"Just get used to it. But your Aunt Liu and Brother Xiaoyuan can't always be at home to take care of you. They have their own things to do. So, you have to learn to take care of yourself. Everyone in our group of immigrants has They have undergone special military training, so everyone can do their own thing. And you have just arrived in Dadongzhou. According to the rules, you should also participate in special military training."
"Dad, Ziwei's illness is just right." Wan Yuan said hurriedly. He knew that his father had always been business-oriented. If Zhu Ziwei wanted to stay in Dadongzhou, several years of special training would be inevitable. He just didn't expect that his father would be so quick. Let’s talk about this.[
"Military training is both an obligation and a right. In our Dadongzhou, everyone must have high survivability. Those who avoid military training and hold us back are not only unfair to others, but also unfair to others. Irresponsible for his own life. A person who is not even willing to take responsibility for his own life. We don't want it in Dadongzhou." Wan Lei's tone was a bit tough. What he meant was to throw Zhu Ziwei to the military camp to hone for a few years. He would do it to her. The young lady's anger was worn away.
"What my uncle has taught me is that I will work hard to participate in military training and will never hold anyone back." Zhu Ziwei hurriedly expressed her position. As the saying goes, a person who has been a president must not have wasted his reputation. She saw Wan Lei's stern side and was even more in awe of Wan Lei.

"Xiao Wei, don't think too much. Our old man is like this. As long as it's not about principles, he is easy to talk to." Fu Wei saw that the atmosphere was a little tense, so he came to the rescue. Of course she knew that her husband did this for the sake of her son. She also didn't want her son to marry a coquettish girl who could do nothing but make the young lady angry.
"How much I want to. Everyone can pass the training. I can also pass." Zhu Ziwei said hurriedly. Even if she had an opinion in her heart, she did not dare to say it to her face. And she also found that there were more girls who were better than her in Zhongyuan City. That's why the gate of Founding Duke's Mansion is not so easy to enter. Even if she is not better than other girls, she can't be much worse than others.
"It's good that you can understand. By the way, what happened to you? Do your family members know about it?" Wan Lei finally started to talk about the things that gave him a headache.
"No. I don't know. I. I ran away secretly." As soon as she said this, Zhu Ziwei's face suddenly turned red. Although the atmosphere of the Republic of China is relatively open, things like elopement for love often happen. It was said to be a good talk, but as a heroine, she was still embarrassed to talk about this kind of thing.
"That's what's wrong with you. Parents are kind to their children. Children can't run away without saying a word. Now that your parents can't catch you, you definitely don't know how anxious they are. So be it. Dadonghao passed. We will leave for the mainland in a few days. Write a letter to your family to send them peace of mind and reassure them."
"Yes. I'll write it when I get back." Zhu Ziwei responded in a low voice, but her face turned redder. She couldn't be embarrassed in this situation.
"Haha. Xiaowei has traveled thousands of miles to join us. This is our blessing. Xiaoyuan, you must treat her well in the future. If you dare to make Xiaowei sad, I will have to break your legs." Fu Wei came out again. To resolve the awkward atmosphere, Zhu Ziwei couldn't help but feel warm in her heart when she saw Aunt Fu defending herself like this.
"Things are not that simple. It is a good thing that you are truly in love. But if you really want to live happily together, there is still a long way to go. As parents, we will not interfere in the marriage of our children. But not everyone All parents are like us. You must be mentally prepared." Wan Lei poured cold water again. He asked himself whether he could accept a daughter-in-law named Zhu. But he was not sure. The Zhu family was willing to accept a son-in-law named Wan.
What's even more terrible is that the Zhu family used to be a royal family. Although they are now reduced to the civilian class, they still yearn for privileges in their hearts. Even if they get married in the future, will the Zhu family do evil in the name of the Wan family? This is Wan Lei's most important question. A headache.
