"Hey, why didn't Da Nian come?" He Ping glanced at Xiao Nian, but didn't see Da Nian, so he looked at Shen Qiaoyue and Lu Chen to ask.

“You and your aunt went out,” Lu Chen replied to He Ping.

He Ping reacted quickly, chuckling and teasing, "Lu He's shy, she even brings Da Nian along on her date?"

"Don't joke about Lu He. If it weren't for giving our elders an explanation, they definitely wouldn't have gone to the movies. Lu He has her own ideas and principles. Xu Feiming is older than me, how can he be my brother-in-law!" Lu Chen said the same thing again, disagreeing.

However, he wasn't completely against it. If Lu He really wanted to be with Xu Feiming, his older brother couldn't stop her. Lu Chen could only say that he simply didn't want to believe it.

Shen Qiaoyue looked at Lu Chen, whose attitude had changed somewhat, but then changed again. She knew Lu Chen's personality; he was stubborn as a mule.

He Ping gently patted Lu Chen's shoulder and said, "Xu Feiming is a very good boy. When he was in the army, many girls liked him, but he didn't like any of them. And he's very shy. Don't look down on him. Xu Feiming is a very thoughtful boy."

Lu Chen frowned slightly and said, "Being meticulous isn't necessarily a good thing, and having too many girls like you isn't necessarily a good thing either."

Lu Chen still cannot forgive Lin Yaya for hurting his wife and causing her to fall into a coma.

He Ping added, "Being attentive is good. Only by being attentive and considerate to your wife can you maintain the happiness of your family."

“Yes, I’ve met Xu Feiming. He’s a very good man, very suitable for marriage. He can take care of children and gets along well with the kids in the residential compound. When I was pregnant and had nothing to do, I went to the nursery to help take care of the children. All the kids said they liked Uncle Xu.” Shen Qiaoying had a very high opinion of Xu Feiming.

Shen Qiaoyue asked, puzzled, "Sister, what does this mean? All the kids in the family compound like Fei Ming. Does that mean he often takes care of the kids?"

"Commander Xu often goes to the nursery to take care of the children. Many of the parents in our family compound are at work or have something happen at home that makes them unable to take care of their children. He often helps with the pick-up and drop-off. When he doesn't have to be on duty on weekends, he comes to help others take care of their children. It's true that he's kind and easily bullied, so people often ask him to take care of their children."

Shen Qiaoying sighed as she continued, "Well, later on, a deputy battalion commander passed away. His widow knelt before Battalion Commander Xu, begging him to marry her, saying she could give him a son. That scared Battalion Commander so much that he never went into the family compound again, and he was afraid of any girl he saw."

"Such a thing can happen!" Shen Qiaoyue was also very surprised when she heard this.

After listening, Lu Chen frowned slightly and said, "This kind of person is not suitable for Lu He. He is indecisive and cannot protect Lu He."

Lu He is the kind of person with a soft personality. If she were to be with another person with a soft personality, things would get out of hand.

Seeing how much Lu Chen cared about his sister's marriage, He Ping said, "Don't worry so much. Commander Xu is still discerning when it comes to important matters. Judging from your past transgressions with girls, he is like that because his parents were not around when he was young. In addition, he loves to read and is kind-hearted, just like Lu He. So you can be considered like-minded."

He Ping understands the personality of everyone under him and is also anxious about Xu Feiming's marriage.

“He’s better suited to be a political commissar than a military commander. He’s a scholar-soldier, so it’s better to let him do ideological work,” He Ping said.

Lu Chen sensed something and asked, "Is he getting a promotion?"

"That's right, we're already an agent, and it's only a matter of time before we officially become authorized after the New Year," He Ping said softly.

In that case, Lu Chen didn't say anything. Once he was promoted, he and Lu Chen would be at the same level.

"Xiao Nian, want a hug from your uncle?" He Ping bent down and picked up Xiao Nian, looking at him with emotion, "Xiao Nian, you've grown up! Did you miss your uncle?"

"I've been thinking about it," Xiao Nian replied with a grin. When she smiled, her sweet dimples were really pretty.

"Is that Qiaoyue?" Mother He returned from buying soy sauce and greeted Shen Qiaoyue warmly when she entered the courtyard.

"Aunt He, it's been a long time!" Shen Qiaoyue greeted her immediately.

When Shen Qiaoyue last came to Beijing, she met He's mother.

She wore glasses and had a kind and gentle smile, just like an old leader. She currently worked in the finance department and would be one of Chu Lin's former leaders in the future.

Mother He handed the soy sauce to her son He Ping, then pulled Shen Qiaoyue aside and asked with concern, "I heard you were injured before. Are you feeling better now? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Auntie, I'm fine, I'm perfectly healthy," Shen Qiaoyue quickly replied.

"That's good, as long as he's healthy." Mother He looked at Lu Chen, "This is Lu Chen?"

"Auntie, hello, I am Lu Chen." Lu Chen quickly introduced himself to Mother He.

When Mother He saw Lu Chen, he was indeed a handsome man.

Looking Lu Chen up and down, he said, "I've heard about you before. You were stationed in the north. You are indeed handsome and look a lot like your father."

"Does your aunt know my dad?" Lu Chen asked in surprise.

“Of course I know you, we’ve been old friends for many years! I worked with you when your father took over the city, we’ve known each other for many years.” After replying, Mrs. He added, “Don’t stand there, it’s freezing outside, come in and sit down.”

When He Ping's mother saw her husband cooking in the kitchen, she quickly took the soy sauce from his hand and said, "You two chat first, I'll go help. Xiao Ying, A Ping, take good care of Lu Chen and Qiao Yue."
