Chapter 524: Settling the Second Elder
"Feng'er, eat this fish. When you were a child, you liked the fish made by Aunt Lin the most."
"Thank you, my mother, I have enough in this bowl." Leng Feng looked at the hills piled up in his bowl, and was a little amused and crying. How could he eat it?
"Suyun, stop picking up food, let the child have a good meal, and don't let Xiaofeng's subordinates laugh at it." Leng Haoran slowly picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth and chewed it. It seemed to be more delicious than the steamed seafood.
"You old man, is it a problem for me to pick up food for my son?"
"You old lady, don't be unreasonable, okay? Look at the child's bowl, how do you let him eat it?"
"I just like picking up food, what's wrong!"
"Unreasonable!"
Leng Feng laughed secretly. The old couple is so old that they still quarrel like this. However, at the age of age, it would be a blessing to have someone quarrel with him.
Although they are quarreling, they are not taking it seriously and it does not affect the relationship between husband and wife.
It can be seen that although my father was a bit rigid on the surface and pursued the etiquette of traditional Confucian culture, he was still open-minded at heart. Otherwise, he would not have let Aunt Lin and other servants have dinner at the same table and would not have any intention of despising them.
Although Western freedom and equality may not be completely suitable for Chinese people, it has indeed led to the spread of equality ideas, which is a huge progress for traditional China's deep-rooted class stratification.
What Leng Feng fears most is that he will meet a pair of parents who are unable to communicate with him at all. In that case, he can only play a rebellious son. Sometimes, when the conflict is irreconcilable, he can only choose to stick to himself.
"By the way, Xiaofeng, do you have any news about Xiaoyue's girl?"
"Xiaoyue is in my army, and she works as a nurse in the field hospital." If Leng Feng hadn't met Leng Yue, he wouldn't have known that he had a "parent" at all.
"Then why didn't you bring Xiaoyue back together?" Cheng Suyun asked anxiously with his chopsticks.
"She has another task and can't come back for the time being." Leng Feng also thought about bringing Leng Yue here this time, but he can't abandon his public because of personal gain. He is going to go back on the way. If Leng Yue comes back with her, it will be favoritism.
"What task can prevent my daughter from going home?"
"Xiaofeng, your Honorary First Division is not going to go back to Wuhan to rest. What tasks does Xiaoyue have?" Leng Haoran put down his wine glass and asked in confusion.
"Father, the army has rules. I'm going to take the lead. Xiaoyue has to follow the field hospital. Although I am the commander of the first division, I can't abolish the public for personal gain."
"I understand, I'm doing well, Xiaofeng, let's go with you!"
"Thank you for understanding!"
"Then we will soon see Xiaoyue?" Cheng Suyun was so happy. His son hadn't seen him for five years. He missed him so much. He finally saw him, so he was naturally happy. His daughter hadn't seen him for more than half a year, and the old couple also cared about it.
Although there is a little bit of a man's preference for girls, it is a kind of flesh and blood, so there is no one who doesn't miss it.
"It's almost done." Leng Feng stammered. If the old couple knew, he was just ruling, it would be impossible for Leng Yue to come back soon.
"By the way, I heard that you met Jing Yatou when you were in Shanghai?"
"Well……"
"What's your expression? Before coming to Wuhan, we received a letter from your Uncle Tang saying that the girl Jing had gone to Nanjing and said that your army was stationed in Nanjing?"
Leng Feng felt a layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and that was not the same thing at all. Maybe "Leng Feng" met Tang Jing in Shanghai, but Tang Jing went to Nanjing not for him, but for avoiding him.
But strangely, the teaching corps is located in Nanjing. Tang Jing should have known that the teaching corps was only in Shanghai during the Battle of Shanghai. Logically, he was a soldier, and under such circumstances, he would not have been able to get involved. If this were the case, he would have violated military law and was shot to death.
Besides, in Shanghai, the teaching team didn't stay for long.
There must be something he didn't know about here, and Tang Jing may not know about it, and that "Leng Feng" is dead. Perhaps there are people in the teaching team, but who knows it?
If Tang Jing came to Nanjing to hide, but Nanjing is the place where the teaching corps is stationed. Didn’t he come here on his own initiative?
There is only one explanation. Tang Jing did not know the troops serving the "Leng Feng", or did not know where the "Leng Feng" was stationed.
This is possible. Tang Jing has been to Nanjing for quite some time, which proves that "Leng Feng" has been to Shanghai a long time ago. He is a small second-level lieutenant in the teaching corps. He will not leave the army easily for no reason, and he ran from Nanjing to Shanghai. What will happen here?
The military discipline of the teaching corps is no more than a miscellaneous army, so Gui Yongqing is intolerant in governing the army.
This is a bit confusing, but unfortunately he is not the "Leng Feng". Tang Jing's explanation is vague. It is really difficult to understand the truth of the matter.
No, Tang Jing knew that her troops were in Nanjing, which means she knew it, but she told herself that she was trying to avoid his entanglement. She went to Nanjing, but told her father that she was going to Nanjing to find her?
This shows that Tang Jing lied to herself, why did she lie to herself?
Because he pretended to be amnesia, he did not study many things in depth, because he thought that it would be of no benefit to him. Since he didn't remember it, let him go over and forget it.
When he learned about Tang Jing's attitude towards this engagement relationship, he was relieved. He stole other people's identity and could not even occupy his fiancée. This was a very immoral behavior, which made him feel guilty.
Fortunately, Tang Jing doesn't seem to like him either and agrees to terminate the engagement, which is a solution that is the best of both worlds.
The "Leng Feng" is dead and it is impossible for him to live from the underworld to be his husband. She can also find her own happiness with freedom.
This was a happy thing for everyone, and Leng Feng also felt that he had removed a layer of burden.
But now it seems that I have underestimated my "fiancee". There is no need for her to lie to me. Perhaps, they need an open and honest conversation.
"You haven't seen the girl Jing?" Leng Haoran asked in surprise.
"I saw that Tang Jing is also in my army. She is with Xiaoyue. She is still the director of my field hospital." Leng Feng knew that some things could not be hidden, and he did not want to hide them.
"Good boy, are you two together?" Leng Haoran laughed.
"Father, Tang Jing and I are actually..."
"Don't tell us about your young people. Xiaojing went to Nanjing. When the Japanese army invaded Shanghai, you Uncle Tang was so anxious that he took a few telegrams to Nanjing and wanted Xiaojing to return to Shanghai. Unfortunately, they were all muddy and didn't reply at all. He thought of me, so he sent me a telegram and wanted me to help. Where can I find you? Moreover, your sister Xiaoyue is also in Nanjing, so I can only ask someone to bring a letter to your sister. Did you receive that letter?"
Leng Feng nodded.
"I want the two girls to go back to their hometown in Wenzhou together. Alas, who knows that the subsequent battle situation changed so quickly and was defeated so badly for hundreds of thousands. You don't know that during the days when the Japanese soldiers invaded Nanjing, your mother and I couldn't eat or sleep well all day long. That period was really overwhelmed." Leng Haoran breathed a long sigh of relief and continued, "Later, I don't know where news about you came from, saying that you led a team in Nanjing to fight against Japan and made military achievements. My father, my father, was elected as a senator because of his son. It was really like in a dream."
Leng Feng smiled. He only found out later that Jiang Jiang would win people over.
"Later, Wenzhou fell, and your father was considered a small official from the National Government. Staying there would definitely be no good results, so I discussed with your mother and moved west with the provincial government until I came to Wuhan."
The Japanese should know that until they are his "Leng Feng"'s parents, they will probably keep them at all costs, which is the only weakness that threatens him.
"Father, this time I came here, I also wanted to tell you something to the two elders."
"What's the matter?"
"I want to take the two elders over here, but it is not safe here. I bought a small building in Hankou. It is quieter and the surrounding environment is also good. I can take care of it nearby." Leng Feng said.
"Feng'er, is it true?" Cheng Suyun asked excitedly.
"Xiaofeng, where did you get the money to buy a small building?" Leng Haoran glared at his wife and asked Leng Feng sternly.
"This is the arrangement of the peak. It turns out that it is my official residence. If I don't live, it's also empty. Besides, I am now a thorn in the eyes of the Japanese and a thorn in the flesh. They are deliberately trying to get rid of me, but they don't have the ability to deal with me. But if they get crazy and deal with the two elders, it's hard to say." Leng Feng explained.
Leng Feng said this, Leng Haoran's eyes suddenly became much softer. Wasn't it the same worry that they decided to leave their home where they had lived for many years?
"Will your mother and I live there to cause trouble for you?"
"No, although that small building is my official residence, I basically won't go back to live..."
"If you don't go back to live, what's the point of staying in?" Leng Haoran was suddenly angry when he heard this. Didn't he just want the family to live together?
"Father, I am a soldier now and I can't help myself. Only by driving away the invaders can I live a peaceful life. Besides, I am surrounded by dangers now, and I cannot bring danger to you two elders." Leng Feng explained.
"Forget it, your mother and I understand after all your efforts. If you don't come back, you won't come back. As long as you come back to see us often." Leng Haoran sighed.
"It's a bit late today. I'll send someone to move for you tomorrow, but don't return the yard for the time being. I'll give me the lease contract." Leng Feng said.
"You are..."
"I'm useful, Father, don't ask, it's not good for you." Leng Feng said.
"I'll just let your mother give it to you."
Finally, the two old men were arranged, which was a temporary matter. As for the safety of the two elders, Leng Feng would naturally be prepared.
The relationship between Leng Haoran and his father and son will be exposed sooner or later, and the Japanese will know that it will be a matter of time.
