Chapter 39 Trivial matters at home
Ning Zhiheng looked at the mess of everyone, Xiaowan, who was timid and did not dare to talk to strangers, for fear that she would be uncomfortable, so he arranged for a kind-faced maid to take her to the guest room to rest and eat something. He and his family went to the restaurant to wait for his father to come back.
The servants prepared the dinner quickly, but their mother Sang Su'e said she would not wait for her father Ning Liangcai, but Ning Zhiheng dared not.
The Ning family has been a scholarly family for generations and is a major family in Hangzhou. Although the Ning Zhiheng family is one of many branches, the old-fashioned rules must be followed.
Ning Zhiheng's elder brother Ning Zhipeng had married and had children three years ago. He bought a yard at the back of his restaurant and moved out. He had sent someone to inform him. He probably would not be able to come back later.
Soon after, the second concubine Zheng heard Ning Zhiheng come back and rushed over to meet him. Sister Zheng was in her thirties and was very beautiful when she was young. However, after more than ten years of entering the house, her appearance was as beautiful as everyone else. She was quite a pretty woman.
To be honest, she took advantage of her youth. Her mother Sang Sue was also very beautiful when she was young, no less than Zheng's.
Zheng is a concubine and has a low status at home, especially Sang Sue, who is a very strong lady. When she saw the wife, she quickly asked her goodbye, and Sang Sue gestured to her to sit down.
"Good aunt!"
Ning Zhiheng has not been very close to this concubine since childhood, but just greeted her politely.
"Zhiheng has changed a lot this time when he comes back. Why did he suddenly feel like he is an adult? It's only been a few years, tsk!" Aunt Zheng looked amazed.
She is sweet and sensible, and never has much trouble. Of course, this has something to do with Sang Su'e's tough wrists, so the atmosphere at home is still harmonious.
At this time, the third brother Ning Zhiming and younger sister Ning Zhen also came over.
The third brother Ning Zhiming is fourteen years old. He is handsome and introverted. He grows very fast and is almost on Ning Zhiheng's shoulders.
The younger sister Ning Zhen is twelve years old, beautiful and charming, and is very similar to her mother Zheng. She is a life-like pistachio in the family. Because she is the only girl, everyone in her family likes her very much.
Ning Zhiming was shy by nature. After entering the house, he just nodded and called him when he saw his second brother, and he didn't say more.
His personality is similar to Ning Zhiheng. Ning Zhiheng has been cautious and introverted since childhood. He didn't talk much at first, but now he has become a little cheerful after the memories of the second generation are integrated.
Ning Zhiming was more reserved against him than his elder brother Ning Zhipeng.
The younger sister Ning Zhen and Ning Zhihengzhi have a good relationship. They jumped and jumped to Ning Zhiheng and hugged Ning Zhiheng's arm: "Second brother, have you brought me a gift when you come back?"
Ning Zhiheng touched her hair spoiledly: "You will not be missing. I will get it for you after dinner."
Ning Zhen thought he messed up his hair, pouted, waved his head and threw his hand off, and said coquettishly: "I want Qin Liying's record, which is the most popular now, and many classmates have it at home."
Ning Zhiheng was stunned. There were star-chasing people in this era!
"I didn't bring this. I'll buy it for you tomorrow. I'll buy it for you as much as you want!"
Aunt Zheng was also happy to see Ning Zhen having a close conversation with his second brother and sister. In this family, Ning Zhipeng, the eldest son of this family, has a generous personality and looks like an elder brother.
He is quite close to Aunt Zheng and her two younger brothers and sisters, and does not treat them as outsiders.
However, the second son Ning Zhiheng has a very different personality. He has not been verbal since childhood, is introverted and taciturn, and is not easy to get close to others. However, he is very independent in his work and has always been distant from Aunt Zheng. In terms of personality, he is much colder than the eldest son Ning Zhipeng.
Therefore, he didn't dare to speak too casually to Ning Zhiheng and Aunt Zheng on weekdays. Later, after he applied for the military academy, he even felt a little pleased when he got along.
I always feel that the second child is not a good character!
"Zhen'er, don't always pester your second brother when you come back. The girl is quieter and can't stop being so happy all day long." Aunt Zheng said pretending to be angry.
Ning Zhen was not afraid of her mother at all, but instead made a face at her and did not take her words seriously.
Only then did the mother Sang Su'e remember that her son seemed to be still in military academy, why did she suddenly come back?
She asked, "Zhiheng, aren't you still attending the military academy? Why did you suddenly think about coming back this time?"
Ning Zhiheng rubbed his head a little embarrassedly. He has been so busy that he has not touched the ground for more than ten days since he graduated. He even forgot to telegraph the news that he had graduated and told his family home.
He said a little embarrassedly: "Mother, I graduated from the Army Officer's School half a month ago. This class of military academy graduates six months ahead of schedule."
"What? You have graduated? You don't even inform us of your child! Then which army have you assigned to?" Sang Su'e's heart suddenly rose.
His son has always been disobedient, stubborn and disobeying advice, and has joined the army, insisted on applying to the Army Officer's School.
She was very opposed to it. As the saying goes, a good man would not be a soldier without a nail!
These days, warlords are in chaos and warlords are fighting. Once they become soldiers, they have to go to war. Any mother who is willing to risk her life to go to the battlefield?
However, Ning Zhiheng insisted on his own, ran away from home under the pressure of his family, and applied to the Military Academy with his classmates. He did not inform his family until he was admitted. Seeing that the persuasion was really ineffective, his family barely agreed.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the child graduated and was about to join the army. How could she let go of this?
"Mother, don't worry. During this graduation, my teacher helped me arrange a good position. I work in Jinling, the logistics department of the military government, and I don't have to go to the battlefield!"
Ning Zhiheng naturally knew what his mother was worried about. He quickly gave her a reassurance. Of course, he would not say that he was working in the Military Intelligence Department.
After talking about it, my mother didn't understand what these specific military departments do, and there were still a lot of explanations.
"The logistics is good, the logistics is good! The wind cannot be blown by the sun, so you don't have to go to the battlefield, and there is still oil and water!" Aunt Zheng said happily when she heard this.
"Our family also has a gun. From now on, Zhipeng will support the family business outside. Zhiheng will protect the family. Our Ning family's family business will still flourish."
After saying that, she smiled attentively and said to Ning Zhiheng: "Don't forget to take care of your younger brothers and sisters at that time. Our Ning family will all depend on you two brothers!"
"Look at what you said! They are brothers, brothers and sisters. You can say these words!" The stone in her mother Sang Su'e fell to the ground and was in a good mood. She naturally liked everyone. She also became intimate when she spoke to Aunt Zheng.
"That's right, that's right! I've said the wrong thing. You can see it clearly, sister." Aunt Zheng was a little flattered when she heard Sang Su'e's anger and kept laughing.
As he was talking, a sound of footsteps came from outside, and his father Ning Liang walked in from outside.
Speaking of the four children, Ning Zhiheng looks the most similar to his father.
Ning Liangcai was wearing a full blue satin, his sleeves were flipped over the snow-white inner body, his short hair and short beard were left, and his eyebrows were very skillful, and he looked much younger than his actual age.
Ning Zhiheng saw his father coming in and quickly stood up: "Father, you are back!"
After entering the door, I learned from the servant that his second son had returned home. When he looked at the son in front of him, he felt that it was a big difference from the past. His tone was neither hurry nor slow, and his temperament became more and more steady.
I secretly said that it was still a military academy to train people. The young and immature child in the past has grown up in a blink of an eye.
After not seeing each other for just one year, but his temperament has become very different, Ning Liangcai nodded secretly.
But he spoke in a strict father tone: "If you do things, you either don't do them, and if you want to do them, you must do them well. Since you are in the military school, you must look like a soldier. What's going on when you come back suddenly?"
Sang Su'e, who was sitting next to her, scolded her son when she heard her husband meet, and she glared and said, "The child has been graduating for half a month. Don't you know? But if you don't have a child in your heart, you don't know what you are thinking all day long? Zhiheng was lucky this time, and he stayed directly in Jinling after graduation. He still worked in the logistics department of the military government. This is a great thing!"
"Isn't it still half a year to graduate?" Ning Liangcai asked strangely, "How could he be assigned to the Military Government Logistics Department? That's not something that ordinary people can enter."
After all, Ning Liangcai has been in business for many years and has a wide range of knowledge. It is not something that ordinary people can do if they can work in the logistics department of the military government of the capital.
Ning Zhiheng had to make the mistake and explained: "My teacher He Feng has a wide connection in the army and helped me arrange this position when I was assigned."
Ning Liangcai was relieved when he heard this. After all, he was reluctant, but he was not willing to go outside to fight and kill.
Unexpectedly, Ning Zhiheng graduated from Military Academy and was so satisfied with the distribution result. He nodded and smiled: "It's indeed a good thing, it's worth having two drinks."
