Qiao Feng said speechlessly, "Why would I lie to you? My sister really does have a boyfriend, a regimental commander, currently in the General Military Region..."

As he spoke, he praised Gu Yunze.

Without comparison, there is no harm. Looking at the two people in front of him, Qiao Feng felt that Gu Yunze was really a great choice for his sister's wife.

Only a man like him, with both a good family background and strong abilities, is worthy of his sister.

Seeing how serious he was, Song Fuzi and her companion knew it was true.

Jiang Haijun was very disappointed that the relationship ended before it even began.

But thinking about it, Qiao Feng's sister doesn't live in Haicheng often, so it's not really a good match for him.

Never mind.

Song Fuzi was even quicker to let go than he was; his brother's sister was practically the same as his own sister.

If Lin Yu weren't so beautiful now, he wouldn't have even considered it.

Now that he hears it's hopeless, he doesn't really care.

When Lin Yu returned after ordering, the three had already finished their conversation.

His complexion looked normal.

Therefore, she didn't pay much attention.

"We have steamed buns and braised fish today."

Qiao Feng smiled and said, "That's not bad. Yesterday we only had some stir-fried pork."

Just by listening to them, you can tell that the brother and sister are very experienced.

Jiang Haijun realized that he was indeed not good enough for her.

What kind of family can afford to eat at state-run restaurants every day?

If it were her mother, no matter how tired she was from working, she would cook for herself and would never spend money to eat out.

As for Lin Yu, she has money of her own, and her brother spoils her.

The fact that he goes to restaurants every day already makes him unsuitable.

If I married him, I'd probably be fighting with his mother every day.

Jiang Haijun's wish wasn't much; he just wanted to get married, have a wife and children, and live a warm, cozy life.

It's best if the whole family is harmonious and peaceful.

So upon closer inspection, Lin Yu is indeed not suitable for him.

No matter how beautiful she is, I can't marry her.

Lin Yu and Qiao Feng had no idea what he was thinking; this meal was purely to thank them for helping clean the house all afternoon.

If it weren't for the two of them, the two siblings would have taken who knows how long to clean up the mess.

After finishing their meal, Song Fuzi and Jiang Haijun left.

Both of them lived in Haicheng, making it convenient for them to visit each other, so they agreed to visit each other's homes when they had time.

Qiao Feng and his sister took a walk home.

It's autumn now, and the evening breeze is cool, making the brother and sister feel a long-lost sense of comfort.

Back home, the two of them worked together to hang the curtains.

Lin Yu clapped her hands, looked at the brand-new house, put her hands on her hips and laughed, "Everything's done! This will be our home from now on."

Qiao Feng liked what she said; this was their home.

Sitting on the sofa, Qiao Feng quietly told her about the whereabouts of those things.

"I have a secret place where I can store things, but I can't tell you. I'll take them out when you need them later."

Lin Yu nodded; of course she trusted her brother.

"Just put it away properly."

Qiao Feng felt very comforted seeing how much she trusted him.

He patted her head and said, "You can use it as your dowry when you get married."

Seeing those two men having designs on Lin Yu today, Qiao Feng suddenly realized that his sister was already twenty-two years old.

She's reached the age to get married.

Have you discussed marriage with Gu Yunze?

A great man once said, "A relationship that is not intended for marriage is just playing around."

"You've been dating for so long and still aren't married. Is Gu Yunze doing this on purpose?"

Qiao Feng would not allow any other man to bully his sister like this.

Lin Yu didn't want her brother to misunderstand, so she quickly said, "It's just that I feel now is not the time to get married."

I still have to focus on my career, and we live in different places. Marriage brings family responsibilities, and I simply can't attend to that.

Qiao Feng frowned: "When will we be able to get married? We can't let it be delayed."

This is their current situation, and in Qiao Feng's view, it won't change for a long time.

Does this mean I'll never get married?

Lin Yu shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. Our factory still needs me."

Qiao Feng felt a little sorry for Gu Yunze at this moment.

He could sense that in Lin Yu's heart, her career always came first.

She didn't seem to care about getting married.

Gu Yunze still has a long way to go before he can get married.

Seeing his gloating expression, Lin Yu glanced at him and asked, "So, when are you getting married?"

Qiao Feng is two years older than her; he's twenty-four this year.

Others his age probably already have children.

Qiao Feng shrugged and said, "I can't help it, I'm very busy with work."

He's not in a sinecure; small-scale wars still break out frequently on the border, and he's going to the front lines.

Who has time to get married?

Lin Yu shook her head: "Excuses, they're all just excuses. People can get married even when they're on the battlefield."

Qiao Feng smiled helplessly and tapped her on the head: "Alright, stop rushing us, it's not our time yet."

"Hehe, then don't rush me."

The two exchanged a smile and thought, "Well, neither of us wants to get married yet, so let's not say anything to each other."

-

On their third day in Haicheng, the brother and sister finally prepared to visit their grandparents.

Grandpa Qiao and Grandma Qiao are now buried in a cemetery in the suburbs of Haicheng.

The two took a bus and drove all the way to the suburbs, where they had to get off and walk for a while.

It was a weekday, and there weren't many people on the street.

The cemetery was even quieter.

The brother and sister registered before they were allowed to enter.

Since ancestor worship is not common now, the two of them only brought a bouquet of flowers.
