Chapter 14 Heartbroken
Zhan Chunying, who spoke without restraint, received a slap from her mother and glares from her two sisters-in-law.

Which sister-in-law has nothing better to do than compare these things?

Mrs. Zhan picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and stuffed it into Zhan Chunying's mouth: "Even if there is food, it can't stop you from eating!"

Tang Qiyue handed Zhan Chunying a bowl of porridge: "Have some porridge, little sister!"

Both wives in the family had the same reaction, not to mention Brother Zhan and Mother Zhan. Instead, Zhan Zeye looked calm. He took the porridge and poured it into his mouth, seemingly unable to feel the heat.

Tang Qiyue's eyes widened at seeing this, and she was so curious that she wanted to pry open Zhan Zeye's mouth to see if his throat was okay.

"Eat slowly, the porridge is too hot and will burn your esophagus. If it gets inflamed, it will be very painful!"

Tang Qiyue whispered a reminder that she had seen refugees drinking hot porridge, which ended up scalding their throats and causing them to die from the pain.

When Zhan's mother heard what Tang Qiyue said, she slapped Zhan Zeye on the back and said, "This is home, not your army. Drink slowly. No one is urging you to go to the battlefield!"

Having long been accustomed to being beaten by his mother, Zhan Zeye let out a click of the tongue and raised his eyelids to glance at Tang Qiyue beside him.

His expression was a little strange, but in the end he said nothing. Instead, he ate a lot slower.

The Zhan family is just an ordinary family. They don't have so many rules at the dinner table. They don't keep silent while eating or sleeping. This makes Tang Qiyue a little uncomfortable, but she doesn't dislike it. Instead, she feels it is very warm.

She was educated as a noble lady by Tang's mother since she was young, but Tang's mother herself was not a good role model, so she only learned the rules of not talking while eating or sleeping.

She was reincarnated into the end of the world, already the late stage of the end of the world. Although she had parents, they were always busy outside to make a living. She grew up in a childcare center since she was a child, and later was placed in the care of a related institution. She felt almost no family affection.

In the end times, what we learn is how to survive in a mysterious and ever-changing environment. Children are no longer innocent. They all have numb expressions and learn and obey mechanically.

What they get in return is a life that is barely enough to feed and clothe themselves, and family affection becomes the most insignificant thing.

At this moment, Tang Qiyue was listening to the chattering of the Zhan family. Everyone seemed alive, making her feel dazed.

While she was daydreaming, a pair of chopsticks suddenly appeared in the bowl.

"Don't force yourself if you can't eat!"

Zhan Zeye directly scooped the leftovers from Tang Qiyue's untouched bowl into his own bowl, and didn't think there was anything wrong with eating her leftovers.

This scene made the Zhan family quiet down, and they all looked at Zhan Zeye.

"What are you looking at? Or do you guys not want to eat anymore? Give them all to me?"

Zhan Zeye is at the age when his metabolism is the strongest. If he eats as much as he wants in this meal, he can eat five kilograms of rice. He can finish all the food cooked at home by himself.

Zhan Chunying remembered her brother's huge stomach capacity and immediately urged her nephew to eat faster: "Dahai, eat quickly, your uncle's stomach is a bottomless pit, it can't be filled, be careful he steals your food!"

The aunt and nephew stopped talking nonsense and started eating like crazy.

The other members of the Zhan family also reacted and quickened their pace, fearing that Zhan Zeye would snatch the food.

Tang Qiyue was a little dumbfounded when she saw this scene, and her eyes were full of curiosity when she looked at Zhan Zeye's belly.

Zhan Zeye touched his nose, also embarrassed. "You'll have to eat something!"

Zhan Zeye patted Tang Qiyue's head, put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up. He heard the noise of a car. This was the car he had asked his old leader to get last night.

The daughter-in-law is going to return home, and as her husband, it's ok for her not to attend the wedding, but the return visit cannot be shabby.

These are not the reasons why Zhan Zeye wants to borrow the car, it is mainly because of the free golden face.

Whenever he thought about the day when his father-in-law would find out about the marriage he had carefully planned and finally agree to it, he would get excited just thinking about that scene.

With the idea of doing things on a big scale, Zhan Zeye even changed into his military uniform, with a murderous look on his face that was particularly intimidating.

After Tang Qiyue had finished her meal, Zhan's mother pulled her to see the return gift prepared for her. It was obvious that it was prepared with great care.

"I know your parents are separated, so I prepared two portions. Although they are not expensive, they are considered as a courtesy. What do you think?"

Mother Zhan was a little nervous. She had seen the dowry that the Tang family had prepared for Tang Qiyue. Just based on those twelve large boxes, she felt that even if she emptied her family's money, she would not be able to prepare a comparable return gift.

Tang Qiyue said that it was already good enough, and in fact there was no need to prepare so much. Tang's father had his plans in mind, and his intention was not to become relatives with the Zhan family, but to protect her dowry based on the Zhan family's clean family background.

The person who came today was Chen Dazhuang. He helped load things into the car and acted as the driver.

"Sister-in-law, should we go to your father's house first? Or should we go back to your mother's house first?"

In order to support Zhan Zeye, Chen Dazhuang even wore a new military uniform today.

The military rank system was abolished this year, and rank could no longer be seen from shoulder straps, but the fact that they were able to put on new uniforms first showed the importance of their troops.

What's more, the four pockets and the red collar badges all hinted at some information, as well as the weapons on their waists. Anyone familiar with the military could tell at a glance that their identities were not simple.

Zhan Zeye and Chen Dazhuang belong to the navy. Their clothes are dark blue, ironed straight, and they wear a pair of dark brown military boots on their feet.

When they arrived at the Tang family's door, Tang's father thought that he didn't know whether Zhan Zeye was dead or alive, and didn't take Tang Qiyue's return home seriously, so naturally he didn't attach much importance to this return home.

But when he heard the family servant come into the house and shout that a jeep with a special pass had arrived at the gate, Tang's father jumped up from his recliner.

This kind of car is different from the car he uses. It is not something you can get with money. Only people with special status can own it.

Without bothering to tidy up his clothes, Tang's father trotted to the door and saw a jeep parked at the door. The driver was indeed dressed in military uniform. He ignored Tang's father's smile and opened the back door with an expressionless face.

A pair of military boots appeared in Tang's father's field of vision, followed by a long leg falling from the car.

You have to know that the base of the jeep is still very high, but the man's butt hasn't left the seat yet and his military boots have already touched the ground, which shows how long his legs are.

Following Tang's father's shocked gaze, he saw his cheap son-in-law, whom he was sure was a waste, appear in front of him alive.

The key point is that he was wearing a dark blue military uniform, with his sword-like eyebrows furrowed under the brim of his white hat, and his eyes were as sharp as a lion, which almost made Tang's father, an old man who had experienced many storms, feel weak in the knees.

He subconsciously grabbed his wife's arm beside him, his face twitching. If you didn't know him, you would think he was having a epileptic seizure.
