Jiang Se shoveled up the soil on the ground bit by bit and put a few grains of black fertilizer in it. Feng Zhongliang stopped what he was doing and looked at her thin back.
The little girl has entered the entertainment industry. She doesn't eat well every day. Compared with last time, she seems to have lost some weight.
He remembered that she had said coquettishly last time that Xia Chaoqun had assigned her too much homework and she was too tired to breathe. He felt a little angry, threw away the water scoop in his hand, and didn't want to work anymore. He asked loudly:
"Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang, is the food ready?"
After he finished shouting, he asked Xiao Liu to urge him, and finally looked at Jiang Se:
"What's wrong with Chaoqun? Is the workload assigned to him so heavy?" He threw away the water scoop, put his hands on his hips, and turned around:
"If you are too tired, tell Chaoqun, or I will call her."
"No need." She shoveled the soil to cover the fertilizer. It was hot in the summer. Even though it was already evening, the air outside was still very heavy. After working for a while, beads of sweat kept pouring out of her forehead. She reached out and wiped her face:
“It’s not that tiring actually.”
She had initially acted coquettishly to Feng Zhongliang and said that the workload was too heavy, but she had never expected that he would remember it even though she had only said it once unintentionally.
Jiang Se was somewhat moved, but still said:
"I just want grandpa to know my job." Feng Zhongliang didn't have a very good impression of the entertainment industry, especially since Feng Nan also entered the entertainment industry and became a different person, which made him feel even worse.
When Jiang Se told him what he had learned, he also indirectly wanted his grandfather to know more about his work, and he also hoped to get his grandfather's support.
Feng Zhongliang was silent for a moment, then asked:
"Who else is at home? What happened to the wedding that prevents them from coming?"
This question stumped her. Although she had been reborn for several years, she didn't know much about the original Jiang Se.
The Du family is now supported by her money and lives a relatively affluent life. Xia Chaoqun gives them 20,000 Chinese yuan every month, which is enough for Du Changqun and Zhou Hui and his wife to live comfortably.
Without the financial conflict, the relationship between Du Changqun and Zhou Hui improved a lot. She would try to visit the Du family every two months, and would always call to say hello at a fixed time, fulfilling her original responsibilities for Jiang Se.
But she could never integrate into the Du family. Every time she went back, Zhou Hui was polite but also distant to her.
I don't know if Xia Chaoqun's warning was useful, but she kept silent about Jiang Se's past and was very cautious, fearing that her hard-earned life would be gone. Jiang Se sometimes asked her about the original owner's affairs, but she was evasive and rarely gave direct answers. When asked too many times, she said that she had great ambitions in her early years and knew she wanted to enter the entertainment industry, and she became famous as expected.
There were a lot of polite words, all praising her.
How could she answer Feng Zhongliang's questions now
"I don't know." Jiang Se paused what he was doing, turned his head and looked at Feng Zhongliang and smiled: "There are many people in my family. My mother remarried and gave birth to two children."
But none of her family members knew her well. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, there is a grandfather, but maybe he doesn't recognize me anymore."
Feng Zhongliang couldn't hear the implication of her words at this time. He only knew that when her parents divorced, she was still young and rarely interacted with her father's relatives.
She smiled with her lips pursed, but that smile made Feng Zhongliang feel a little uncomfortable.
"Where's your father?"
"I don't know." She shook her head. Zhou Hui never mentioned this. In the Du family, it seemed that Jiang Se's original father was a taboo. Zhou Hui kept silent about this matter. She only knew that she had met the wrong person at the beginning.
"If it really doesn't work," Feng Zhongliang frowned, "You marry Ayi, and I'll go!"
After he said this, Jiang Se was about to cry.
Grandpa couldn't recognize her anymore, but he was still caring for her in his own way. Her body kept shaking, and she gritted her teeth and her face turned red. She finally suppressed her emotions and choked up:
"good."
He went to water the plants again. “The actual combat exercise is a form of selective training arranged by the military academy.”
Jiang Se worked with him while listening to him say:
"There are some situations that you don't understand."
The so-called live-fire combat exercise is a way of selecting soldiers before a war, which is much more difficult than ordinary exercises.
In order to reduce casualties on the battlefield, some problems that cannot be found in general exercises will be discovered during simulation exercises. By correcting them, the casualties of soldiers on the battlefield can be reduced.
"Ayi chose this method because he probably wanted to graduate early and participate in the mission."
It goes without saying that such a training method is dangerous, and the soldiers who participate in such exercises are all on missions, and they are dangerous missions.
Feng Zhongliang finished his work and wiped his hands:
"It seems that he is not going to follow the path arranged by his old superiors."
He could have chosen a smoother path. After graduation, he could have furthered his studies and in the future, with the help of the Pei family, he could have worked as a civilian in a certain city. Once he had gained enough experience, he could have been transferred back to the army and risen through the ranks. The power of the Pei family could have been put into his hands little by little, completing a smooth handover from one generation to the third.
This method is stable and safe, and will not have much impact on the power transfer of the Pei family. At most, it will take a little longer. Perhaps by the time the power is completely transferred, it may take many years.
Pei Yi couldn't wait that long. The reason why he made such a decision was probably because he realized that between him and Jiang Se, there was not only the disparity in family background and status, but also the passage of time.
It is precisely because he understands these reasons that he wants to take a faster path to get closer to Jiang Se, even if it is more rugged and bumpy.
From this point of view, Pei Yi is smart and sincere. He is really considering his future with Jiang Se and is not just playing around with her. So Feng Zhongliang confirmed this and made an exception to mention this matter to Jiang Se so that she could be mentally prepared.
Feng Zhongliang's words were not very clear, and Jiang Se's face turned pale:
"Is there any danger?"
"No military activity can be completely safe." He wiped his face with the towel prepared by the servants, and his voice was a little unclear under the towel:
"Especially in live-fire drills, a certain amount of casualties is allowed."
From this point, we can also see the danger.
"But you don't have to worry." Feng Zhongliang gestured to Jiang Se to wash his hands as well. "Ayi has been practicing since he was a child, so there is no problem with his skills. His senior superiors treat him like an eyeball, so he won't have any major problems. You can rest assured."
"What's more," he paused, "Ayi is a smart kid. Since he dared to sign up, it proves that he should be sure. This kid is good, brave and smart." Feng Zhongliang rarely praised someone, and nodded with a smile:
"As the old saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger. He is going to make a great contribution. This step he has taken will be enough to earn him many years of experience." (To be continued)
