   Chapter 12

  It was already dark, the children were asleep, Ye Jinzhi was lying on the bed, holding a foreign language book in her hand, she had a headache reading the dense letters.

   simply put down the book, closed his eyes, and wanted to fall asleep.

   She seems to have insomnia. This is the first insomnia in so many days. It's not very good.

   Yuan Shaochen lay on the lower bunk and did not fall asleep, his black eyes glowed in the darkness, his hands rested behind his head, and he heard the sound of turning over from the upper bunk.

   Ye Jinzhi prepared to count the stars to hypnotize himself, and counted silently in his heart: "One star, two stars, three stars, four stars, five—"

   A low voice interrupted her: "Can't sleep? Let's talk."

   A voice came from below, Ye Jinzhi shivered with fright, and said angrily, "Are you trying to scare me to death?"

   "Tell me about your original life." Yuan Shaochen didn't care about her temper and said to himself.

  Ye Jinzhi paused for a while, after a long time, Yuan Shaochen didn't rush her and was very patient.

   "Well, how should I put it, my parents died in an accident when I was very young, but luckily they made a will early on, so I have never been short of money since I was a child," Ye Jinzhi's eyes were calm,

"My parents left a company for me. Before I became an adult, the company was supervised by professional managers. I only needed to take money every year. In order to successfully take over the company in the future, I had to accept various courses since I was a child. "

   "Sorry." Yuan Shaochen didn't expect to hear this. He originally thought he was a rich girl, and she was spoiled by her family since she was a child.

   Ye Jinzhi smiled relieved: "It's nothing, don't pity me, although I have no parents since I was a child, but my parents' relatives and friends take care of me very much, and I can be considered to be loved and grown up."

"And I've been in a few relationships. Although I woke up and found out that I was married, I found out later that you're good looking and in good shape. After all, I'm not at a loss." Ye Jinzhi wanted to make the atmosphere more lively. , deliberately teasing him.

  The original young minister did not expose it. He was an orphan, and he naturally knew that he grew up without parents.

   Ye Jinzhi thought that he should make it clear, for example, ask him directly now, and have a good time.

   She climbed down and sat directly beside Yuan Shaochen's bed: "Then will you divorce me?"

   Yuan Shaochen was taken aback by her. He never thought about divorce. When he first heard her admit that he was not "Ye Jinzhi", he was a little confused, but more shocked.

   He never thought about divorce at all, not to mention that they still have three children. He couldn't imagine what would happen to the three children if they got divorced.

   He often goes out for training, for ten days and a half at a time, and he is not at ease entrusting the child to anyone.

   "I won't get a divorce, but if you want, I will respect your choice." Yuan Shaochen thought she wanted a divorce.

   Ye Jinzhi was relieved to hear that he had no plans to divorce, she was not as calm as she appeared to be.

   Ye Jinzhi smiled: "I don't plan to divorce either, but, I thought—"

   The words stopped, Yuan Shaochen knew that he had misunderstood as soon as he heard it, and it was no accident that the two would live together in the future. Yuan Shaochen did not want this matter to become the fetters of the two.

   He thought about it for a while, and organized the language: "I married her because my father was actually the reason, at that time"

   Yuan Shaochen still remembered that day, it was October, and the recruitment document in the army came down, saying that boys over sixteen years old can apply.

   You must know that there was a famine in that era, and everyone could not have enough to eat. As soon as they heard that they could join the army, they all thought of sending their children to the army, not to starve, and to have money, what a good thing.

  Each village has a limited number of places, and their village has only one place, and everyone breaks their heads to grab this place.

   It would be a lie to say that the young minister Yuan did not want to be a soldier. Almost every boy has a dream of being a hero and a soldier.

   But he also has self-knowledge, knowing that he is just an orphan, and no one will give a place to an unrelated kid.

   He didn't pay attention to this matter anymore until that night, Father Ye came to his house.

   He was very strange at the time. Father Ye was a different kind of person in the village. He didn’t work in the fields, and he rarely interacted with the villagers, but the villagers knew that his identity was unusual, and the village officials often went to him for advice.

   "Uncle Ye, do you have anything to do with me?" asked the young Young Master Yuan.

   Father Ye didn't hesitate, and told him directly: "I can help you get a place in the army."

   Yuan Shaochen is young but not stupid, so he naturally knows that he has conditions: "What conditions are there."

   Father Ye was surprised to see him, but he was not happy, but calmly asked questions.

   Father Ye smiled with satisfaction: "I want you to marry my daughter."

   Yuan Shaochen did not expect this condition, it was very strange, and he asked directly: "Why, as long as you want, there are so many people who want to go to your daughter, why is it me."

   Father Ye's expression was a bit complicated at the time, and he pondered for a while: "I don't worry about handing her over to others, and you, I have observed you for many years."

   Yuan Shaochen did not immediately agree: "Let me think about it."

   Father Ye didn't say much, just let him decide to find him later, as if he thought he would agree.

   In fact, he did agree. He became a platoon leader in his second year in the army because he dared to fight as hard as he could.

   Ye Jinzhi didn't expect Yuanshen to marry him because of Father Ye, but he was right when he thought about it carefully.

   In that case, Father Ye must plan for his daughter. He must be afraid of what kind of harm his daughter will suffer without his protection in the future, full of fatherly love.

   Yuan Shaochen sat up, his eyes fixed on Ye Jinzhi's eyes, his eyes were firm: "Comrade Ye, if there are no variables, we will live together in the future until old age. I hope you can adapt to life with a husband as soon as possible."

   paused for a while, Yuan Shaochen's face was a little red, but the night obviously helped him cover up this well.

   "I will also fulfill my responsibilities as a husband and a father. I will live well with you, and you will keep the family money."

   Ye Jinzhi's face turned slightly red when she heard this, and her heart beat a little faster. She didn't expect this man to be so frank.

   raised his head slightly, his tone a bit awkward: "Hmph, I hope you will do what you say, and we will make three chapters first."

   "No problem, you have the final say." Yuan Shaochen was actually a little nervous, afraid that she would suddenly regret it.

   "First, I can't do the housework alone, we have to divide the work." Raised a finger.

   "Of course, I will help you cook and do laundry every morning." Yuan Shaochen agreed without thinking.

   Ye Jinzhi was a little surprised, she didn't expect him to be so self-conscious, but that's fine, the corners of his mouth curled up.

   "Secondly, if I have something I want to do, you can't stop me." She was afraid of the machismo of the former junior minister, so women were not allowed to show their faces outside.

  Although after getting along these days, I can feel that he is not such a person, but it is better to say it first to prevent him from regretting it later.

   "I won't stop you, the child can be sent to school when the time comes, and you can do whatever you want." That's okay.

   "Third, we have to sleep in separate rooms." Ye Jinzhi was still a little scared. The two of them slept together in his hometown because he didn't know that he was fake, so he said it now.

   "This can't be done." Yuan Shaochen refused to sleep alone, and he didn't want to sleep alone if he had a wife.

   "Why?" Ye Jinzhi was worried about the child and didn't dare to cry out. He had promised so easily before, but this was the only one.

   Yuan Shaochen saw that the little woman in front of him was going to be angry, and quickly coaxed: "You think, if the child finds out that we sleep in separate beds, how will you explain it to him?"

   pursed his lips, really ignoring the child's feelings: "I can tell them that I am used to sleeping alone."

   Ye Jinzhi still wants to fight for himself, although this reason is a bit far-fetched.

   "Do you believe this yourself, don't think of them as fools."

   Yuan Shaochen made a concession: "Don't worry, I won't touch you without your permission."

   "Well, that's fine then." Ye Jinzhi reluctantly agreed, but he also knew that he was a little too strong.

   You know, men are liars.

   Yuan Shaochen: Let’s coax the people first, then the time will come. . .
