Chapter 426

It is a group of conjoined villas with low floors.

Facing the delicate, special and heavily guarded courtyard in front of him, Cheng Chong's eyes showed a trace of surprise and doubt, and even a trace of inferiority, but he soon recovered his normal expression.

After all, his family was born far from min Jie, and they are not at the same level at all. The exquisite and special courtyard in front of him was far beyond his expectation.

Of course, the considerate min Jie was aware of all this. In order to eliminate Cheng Chong's surprise and doubt, she smiled at Cheng Chong and waved her hand, "It's nothing. The house here is not ours, but my parents have enough level, so I live in it for the time being. In fact, when I was young, I also lived in the courtyard outside. Moving into the courtyard is only a matter of recent years."

"I didn't expect your family to live in such a place. I, I feel a little uncomfortable..." Cheng Chong smiled faintly, and really became a little uncomfortable.

"It's really nothing. It's just a temporary residence. Except for a few more sentinels, it's no different from the courtyard outside." The clever min Jie continued to comfort.

Speaking of this, in order to eliminate Cheng Chong's surprise and doubt, she pointed to a house at the top of the courtyard and said, "look, did you see the villa behind the camphor tree? Do you know who lived there before?"

"Who? Can't it be a senior member of the military commission?" Cheng Chong's attention was really successfully diverted by Min Jie. He asked curiously along the direction of Min Jie's fingers.

"What are you talking about?" Min Jie stretched out her hand and pointed falsely, and then said with some regret in her tone: "there, there used to be the place where Wang Rong's family lived, but now their family seems to have moved away and don't live here."

At the moment, when min Jie said these words, she showed this look. This is completely understandable for Cheng Chong.

In fact, min Jie wanted to say: This used to be where Wang Yao and his family lived. Wang Yao is Wang Rong's younger brother. When she was young, she and their two brothers were childhood sweethearts and grew up together. It's just that Wang Yao did something not so glorious later. Therefore, min Jie at the moment is unwilling to put forward Wang Yao's name in front of Cheng Chong.

Cheng Chong quickly responded and understood that there was this section in it. He didn't ask min Jie whether the reason why their family moved away was directly related to Wang Yao, or at least it was related to Wang Yao.

Because min Jie mentioned Wang Rong at the moment, Cheng Chong involuntarily thought of Wang Yao, and his face naturally showed a look of regret and unhappiness.

Knowing that she could no longer stay at the door for a long time, min Jie hurriedly said, "let's go! Let's go in! I'm afraid my mother has been waiting for us at home."

Min Jie led Cheng Chong through the gate post of the courtyard, went straight inside and stopped at the door of a villa with ordinary decoration.

"Here it is!" Min Jie pointed, then ran quickly, knocked on the door and shouted excitedly, "Mom, I'm back."

At this time, a middle-aged woman in her early 40s, with a rich appearance and a high intellectual temperament all over her body opened the door. She looked kind and said modestly to min Jie: "I heard your footsteps all the way. I won't tell me the specific time of the flight. I can send someone to pick you up at the airport in advance."

The middle-aged woman looked at Min Jie lovingly, patted her head gently, then turned around, smiled politely at Cheng Chong behind min Jie, and asked, "is this the comrade in arms you said on the phone? Come in -"

Cheng Chong nodded hurriedly. After being stunned for a while, he remembered to say hello: "Hello, aunt!"

Min Jie blushed slightly, then pointed to Cheng Chong and said, "Mom, let me introduce you. That's what I told you. Cheng Chong, my comrade in arms, is a Cheng who doesn't work all day. Chong is a simple minded and impulsive Chong. He is also the leader of our group..."

Mischievous min Jie then boasted about Cheng Chong from head to foot, then put her hand on the shoulder of the middle-aged woman and said mischievously to Cheng Chong: "this is the mother who pays equal attention to beauty and wisdom, virtuous and loving. She loves me most in the world and is also my favorite mother!"

"No rules, nonsense again. Comrade Cheng Chong, ignore her nonsense. She usually praises you on the phone." Min's mother smiled and patted min Jie on the head, then said to Cheng Chong, "come in quickly! We welcome you at home."

The dignified and decent min mother's speaking level is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.

In a word, it can be said that everyone has taken care of everything.

"Mom, you're still not my real mother? When did I praise him on the phone?" The naughty min Jie punched Cheng and flattened her mouth, pretending to be arrogant and said, "praise him? Where is he worthy of my praise on the phone?"

Min's mother pinched min Jie's face gently, then smiled at Cheng Chong behind her and said, "our family has always paid attention to democracy, so this child is so naughty since childhood. If you know, you think she's joking about being close to people. If you don't know, you think she's not big or small, light or indifferent."

Cheng Chong smiled awkwardly. After being stunned for a while, he quickly said, "it's all right! Aunt, she doesn't usually do this. It's only when she talks to me. I'm used to it."

"Ha! You two met for the first time today and have already allied the united front? My mother! Did I pick it up from under the overpass when you bought vegetables? Am I still your own?" Min Jie then turned her face to Cheng Chong behind her, pretending to be more serious, and said mischievously, "you shut up. You learned to please my mother as soon as you met. I tell you, we've known each other for so long. How come you haven't learned to please me?"

Cheng Chong's heart couldn't help laughing.

To be honest, he and min Jie have known each other for a long time, but most of the time, she shows people with a cold face and always looks silent and calm. However, what he never thought of was that under min Jie's cold and silent appearance, there was such a living wave naughty heart.

It's just that other comrades in arms didn't meet when they were wearing military uniforms in the barracks, dealing with weapons and tactics all day, and in that serious and bloody atmosphere.

At this time, Cheng Chong was more objective and really knew min Jie.

Or, as a two legged hairless primate, human beings are such a strange and complex animal. People who are usually silent seem to have a time to talk, while people who are cowardly and afraid of things seem to have a time to be full of courage. The key is in what kind of situation, will be objective self-expression.

Cheng Chong followed min Jie into the villa.

To be honest, the decoration in the villa is not luxurious, but whether it is the pattern in the villa, or the furniture furnishings in the villa, as well as the furnishings of various decorations, it not only looks simple and concise, but also looks very harmonious and atmosphere.

It is neither as luxurious as some upstart families, nor as tacky and publicity as some market families.

Some people say: a family's home layout, to a large extent, objectively exposes the family's character and temperament.

Perhaps this sentence can be used as a truth at this time.

When she came to the living room and sat down, Min's mother poured Cheng a cup of hot tea, smiled and simply explained to min Jie, then turned and said, "I know you're coming back today. I specially gave my aunt a day off. I personally bought vegetables and cooked them. All I bought are what Jie Er likes to eat."

"I'll help -" Min Jie stood up excitedly and ran to the kitchen.

"No, if you help, you will only help more and more. Just sit there and wait for dinner." Min's mother smiled, stretched out her hand and falsely stopped min Jie, so she said.

However, min Jie didn't listen at all. She had entered the kitchen preconceived and worked hard. Roll up your sleeves, wash the pot and pick vegetables. It's fun to be busy.

In the busy process of mother and daughter, the conversation between them came out from time to time in the kitchen.

"You said on the phone that Grandpa's old problem has happened again. How's the situation? Does it matter? When can we go to visit?" Min Jie asked with concern as she was busy.

It can be seen that the old general min is not in good health. He has made old problems from time to time over the years, and he can recover safely every time, so min Jie is not very anxious.

"Hmm! It's an old problem. It's fine a few days ago. The weather has changed a lot, but his spirit is still there. Although he is ill, his temper hasn't changed at all. When I went to see him with your father yesterday, I scolded your father for a while! I see, it shouldn't be a problem. The responsible doctor of the hospital said that the family members should go to see him once in two days , going too often will affect the patient's rest. " Min's mother, wearing an apron on her chest, said as she cut vegetables.

Then he stopped his work, turned around and said to min Jie, "don't worry. I'll go with you tomorrow. I'll stew a soup for your grandpa tonight. There's nothing missing except the soup I stewed. Your grandpa will drink two mouthfuls occasionally."

"That's good. I'll deliver the soup tomorrow. Maybe Grandpa will drink two more when he's happy!" Minjie raised a celery in her hand, as if she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Oh, by the way, where's dad? It's time to get off work at this time? Doesn't he know I'm back today?"

"When I went to the hospital to see your grandpa come back yesterday afternoon, I suddenly received an urgent job from my superior and went back to my unit immediately." Min's mother turned away and continued to be busy with her work. At the same time, she replied as if nothing had happened.

"Urgent? What urgent? Haven't you come home since yesterday?" Min Jie asked curiously.

"I went with the diplomatic mission. I received an urgent notice last afternoon and got on the plane at night. I'm afraid I can't come back in the past two days." Min's mother replied faintly, as if she had been used to it for a long time. There was nothing new and special.

However, this matter is not so ordinary and ordinary for min Jie and Cheng Chong.

You know, min Jie's father is an important general in the army and plays an important role in the Chinese army. What's more, diplomatic visits originally belonged to the Ministry of foreign affairs. It is by no means an ordinary thing for important military generals to follow diplomatic missions abroad.

This is essentially different from the ordinary foreign missions of the Ministry of foreign affairs.

In other words, important generals of the military visit with diplomatic missions in order to solve certain major events in response to certain special international problems. To some extent, this matter itself can even represent a country's tough attitude and position.

Min Jie was really surprised and turned to her mother and asked seriously, "what's the matter? Dad has to follow the diplomatic mission abroad?"

"What's the problem? It's not the problems in the South Sea area of our country. You may not have seen the news recently. Recently, several countries have been putting on airs in that sea area, as if they are making a lot of noise. Your father's visit abroad should be for this." Although min's mother was well-informed and used to seeing big scenes, she said it at the moment. She immediately stopped her work and said seriously.

Cheng Chong, who had been sitting quietly drinking tea in the living room, suddenly heard min's mother's words. He immediately stood up and stared at the mother and daughter in the kitchen, and all his attention was focused on them.

Min Jie immediately caught the important information in her mother's words, He immediately asked curiously, "I've heard something about the South Sea area. There are occasional reports on the news. It's just some ignorant curfews who occasionally hop there to show the world their sense of existence. Is there anything special this time? You still need Dad and them to come forward with the diplomatic mission?"

"I don't know the specific situation. Unless it is a direct statement from the news, such things are generally classified as confidential. We don't know, and don't inquire easily. However, this time I feel a little different from before. This time, our country may be serious. Of course, this is just my personal guess, and I'm not sent by the Ministry of foreign affairs The speaker makes a statement in public, and it doesn't count. " Min's mother stopped her work, approached min Jie, lowered her voice as if she were whispering.

"Do you know which country dad has visited now?" Min Jie asked seriously.

"I don't know which country I've been to. He's visiting with the group and can't contact me privately. How can I know? But I'll know when we eat and watch the TV news later." Min's mother said, then turned around again and continued to cut vegetables.

Hearing her mother say this, min Jie's mind may have already flown out of the sky. But when she saw a celery in her hand, she ruthlessly picked it down and instantly picked it into two sections. At the moment, in her heart, it seemed that what she picked was not celery, but the heads of those curfews.

Hearing what min's mother said, Cheng Chong hurried forward, quickly turned on the TV in the living room, immediately changed the station and searched for the news. At the moment, he is eager to catch any news about the South Sea from all kinds of news.
