Sophie played chess with her father for a while while her mother was preparing fruit in the kitchen. She gave her seat to her brother and went to the kitchen to accompany her mother.
"Are you and Qi Ze okay?" Tong Yan was really worried about her daughter. She always felt that her daughter was still a child and she might not be able to be a mother.
"Of course it's good!" Sophie just took a small tomato.
"That's good. Everyone at home pampers you and pampers you. It will be the same if you marry into someone else's family." Tong Yan cut a cantaloupe in her hand and said to her, "When you get to the Rong family, you need a wife.
Like a son."
"I understand, Mom, I don't live with the Rong family." The boss was unhappy when Sophie thought about going to the Rong family.
"I know." When they got married, Su Qingyu gave them a house in the Third Ring Road, and their new house was there. "But you have to fulfill all the etiquette you should have. During the holidays, what is your mother-in-law and father-in-law's birthday over there?
You must remember that you have to do all the favors in your dealings." "Yes, Mom, I remember." Sophie has always been a good daughter in front of her parents, and she also knows that her mother is worried about her, fearing that she will not be a good wife.
.
"Logically speaking, you shouldn't have come back first after getting off the plane." Tong Yan sighed, turning to look at her daughter, "It's just your father's domineering temperament, okay, let's not talk about it."
"By the way, Mom, why didn't you see your sister-in-law?" Sophie hadn't seen her sister-in-law Jiang Manru since she came in, and she didn't have time to ask just now.
"Something happened to her brother, so he will go back in the afternoon." When she mentioned this, Tong Yan looked unnatural and sighed.
"Did you have a quarrel with your brother?" Sophie said worriedly.
"With Manru's temperament, you can't argue with your brother, so don't worry about it." Tong Yan can't do anything about her son, daughter-in-law, so just do whatever she can!
"By the way, Qianqian came to talk to me yesterday. The Tan family is moving." Tong Yan was going out. When she thought of this, she immediately grabbed her daughter and said very solemnly.
Sophie's face changed. She had been a neighbor for decades and actually said she wanted to move.
"Daughter, Mom has a few words to tell you. Ever since you were a child, Mom has always supported you in whatever you want to do. You have always been the darling of me and your dad. Between you and Yixuan
My dad and I saw every detail of it more clearly. From the earliest days, your dad and I thought that it would be really good if you could be with Yixuan. Your dad was afraid that you would get married and not see you.
If you were married to Yixuan, and the two families were so close, you would be able to see each other as if you were not married. There is something that your dad and I can take care of at any time. You and Qi Ze are together, and you and I
Dad disagreed at first, but you insisted and we also supported you. Everyone has the right to choose the person they like. Now that you have made your choice, your dad and I only hope that you will live happily. But Feifei, since you
Once you have made your choice, you have to let others go."
When Sophie heard her mother say such words, her ears were ringing and her scalp was in tingling pain. Tan Yiqian's attitude hurt her when she entered the door just now, and now her mother's words made her even more uncomfortable.
"Mom, Brother Yixuan and I just..."
"Feifei, I won't talk about your feelings for Yixuan, but you should be clear about Yixuan's feelings for you." Tong Yan really didn't want to say these words to her daughter, but Qianqian came to her specifically yesterday and told her about Yixuan's private life.
The matter of deserting the army is not only an important crime for a soldier, but also a shame for a family like the Tan family that values family tradition.
She felt very uncomfortable as she listened. The Tan and Su families have been neighbors for decades, and the old man of the Su family and the old man of the Tan family are old comrades in arms, and their relationship is not ordinary.
The old man passed away two years ago, but Su Qingyu still showed no slight to the Tan family and respected the old man very much.
In fact, both families hope to get married, but now that they can't, their relationship is naturally awkward.
"I have watched that kid Yixuan grow up, but he is so stubborn. If you still treat him the same as before, he will never be able to get out of this life. If you really treat him as your brother, you can't treat him like this." Tong
Seeing her daughter's reaction, Yan felt distressed and had to say what she needed to say.
"I know, Mom." Sophie nodded.
"When you think about the Tan family moving away, you and my dad feel bad." We have been neighbors all our lives, and now that the situation is like this, no one can feel comfortable.
Sophie almost burst into tears and whispered: "Mom, why don't you go and persuade Grandpa Tan? I know him well. He has lived here all his life, and he has his old friends before and after him. He is so old,
He won't get used to it. The worst, the worst is I'll try to see less of Brother Yixuan in the future."
Tong Yan finally felt relieved when she heard her daughter say such things.
"That's what you said, and that's what I planned too,"
Sophie's heart suffocated, thinking that she might not be able to give away the things she got in Tokyo.
"I'd better go back later. I've prepared gifts for Grandpa Tan and the others. They're all sorted into categories. Mom, you can go over and bring them to them later. When I was at the door just now, I saw Brother Yixuan coming back." Sophie
He said in a slightly hoarse voice.
"Okay." Tong Yan caressed her daughter's face, and then sighed.
She went back without having dinner. The Su family had her car, so she drove back by herself.
Su Qingyu's face darkened when he heard that she was going back.
"It's better to let her go back. She just came back from her honeymoon, so it's not good for her to stay at her parents' house like this." Tong Yan said to her husband.
Su Qingyu calmed down after listening to his wife's words, but he still looked very ugly.
The Tan family on the other side is not stopping now!
When Tan Yixuan followed his eldest sister through the door, he heard her saying to him in his ear: "Grandpa is angry right now. Be careful what you say and don't offend him again."
"I know." Tan Yixuan nodded.
As soon as he entered the door, the old man glared at him with a cane in his hand, then turned around and said, "Follow me."
Tan Yixuan put down his military bag and followed his grandfather into his study.
"Kneel down."
Tan Yixuan knelt down without saying anything, and immediately hit him on the back with the cane. The old man's blow was not light, but he didn't move at all, just stunned to bear it.
"Why did our Tan family have such a disgraceful beast like you! I, Tan Guozhong, have fought all my life. Have I ever taught you to be loyal to the country, the party, and the people? As a soldier, the meaning of responsibility is
Don’t you know how heavy it is? Half of my feet in this life have already stepped into the coffin. I only had a little reputation left, and you ruined it.”
"I'm sorry, Grandpa!" He knew that he had done something wrong. Escaping from the army was a great shame for a soldier. He knew how serious his mistake was, but he also knew that if he did it again, he might do it again.
.
"It's not me you're sorry for, but the military uniform you're wearing." Mr. Tan accused in a loud voice, "How could you do such a thing? I'm telling you, from now on, you'll be chosen far away from the Su family's girls.
.You had a good relationship before, but the husband was unmarried and the girl was unmarried. Now that she is married, even if you don’t care about the reputation of our Tan family, you still have to care about the reputation of the girl from the Su family. Did you hear that? "
"I heard it." He originally thought so too. He couldn't say goodbye, he couldn't say goodbye, and he had to remind himself over and over again.
"What a beast." As he said this, the old man tried to hit him with the cane again.
"Grandpa 1" Tan Yiqian knew that his brother was still injured. No matter how strong his body was, he could not withstand repeated beatings. He hurriedly grabbed his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, just let him kneel here and wake up properly. He will wake up on his own."
Think clearly."
The old man looked at his granddaughter, nodded, and let her help him out.
Tan Yiqian looked back at his younger brother. He was still kneeling there with an expressionless face, his back straight and his waist not even softened.
She sighed, her brother had a bad temper.
Such punishment is nothing to Tan Yixuan. Ever since he can remember, his grandfather has treated him with the requirements of a soldier. Grandpa said that the soul of a soldier is hard and can withstand any wind and rain. At the age of 16, he
He was thrown into the military school. Although he was a bit taller, he had excellent qualities in all aspects. Then he entered the 27th Military District of the People's Liberation Army and was later sent to Inner Mongolia for training. From the time he entered the army, the Tan family had no
There are very few people who have managed him and know his identity. Even Tiejun didn't know it at the beginning. They didn't know until he joined Ying Nag.
Later, Tan Jinchuan also said, "Just do whatever you want. If it doesn't work, kick him out." Tan Yixuan finally entered the Eagle Army a year ago through a military exercise. The old man cursed: "You are really a kid who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth!"
But between his brows, he was still proud of his grandson.
This time, not only was his military career a stain, he also brought shame to the Tan family.
After Tan Jinchuan and Zhong Xinlan came back, they saw the old man and his daughter together when they entered the door. Tan Jinchuan still respected his father very much and asked: "Dad, is that brat back?"
"I asked him to kneel in the house!" the old man replied.
"Then just kneel down and leave him alone." Tan Jinchuan also wanted to punish him well.
After the family had lunch, Zhong Xinlan and Tan Yiqian felt distressed and quietly asked someone to bring something to the house for him to eat. Who knew that Tan Yixuan had a tough temper and his grandfather didn't wake him up, so he couldn't afford to eat.
"It's just you who spoil him. If a soldier does something wrong, he will be punished." Tan Jinchuan scolded him coldly, "This is not even considered punishment. He is really a stinky boy."
Zhong Xinlan sighed, and then the nanny said that Aunt Tong from next door had arrived.
Tong Yan and Su Qingyu came here together. Su Qingyu and Tan Jinchuan were both young. Although Tan Jinchuan joined the army and Su Qingyu started working in industry, the friendship between the two was still very deep. As soon as he arrived, the two
The man went to the study room to chat.
Tong Yan was talking to the old man and Tan Yiqian in the living room.
"Old man, Feifei is back, but she just got off the plane and rushed back to her parents' house, so she didn't have time to come over. She bought a bunch of gifts and asked me to deliver them to everyone." Tong Yan said to the old man.
