“Commander, you don’t understand.” Li Jiasheng felt that the commander couldn’t comprehend his suffering.

Jiang Mingjing looked at Li Jiasheng; his fear was not without reason.

“Jiasheng, Xiaoman is a good girl. I only introduced her to you after I had a clear understanding of her family background. Her parents are just an honest, ordinary family. They are a happy family, and they have gone through hardships. Their family is better off than yours. It is understandable that Xiaoman wants a bicycle because her workplace is far away.”

Jiang Mingjing naturally made sure he understood the situation before introducing it to Li Jiasheng.

"Is it because you don't have enough money?" Lu Chen asked Li Jiasheng.

Shen Qiaoyue looked up at Li Jiasheng.

“I’ve saved up enough. I just feel like someone as stupid as me met such a beautiful and outstanding girl who married a country bumpkin like me…” Li Jiasheng said, his inferiority complex rising again, “I just feel sorry for Xiaoman.”

“If you feel sorry for her, since she was willing to marry you, treat her well and work hard to improve yourself. Feeling inferior will only affect your mood. You might as well study hard and have some ambition.” Lu Chen looked at Li Jiasheng’s cowardly appearance, which was not like him at all.

Jiang Mingjing smiled helplessly as he watched Li Jiasheng being reprimanded by Lu Chen.

Li Jiasheng chuckled and said, "What the regimental commander said makes sense!"

Shen Qiaoyue smiled and said, "Jiasheng, how about bringing your partner over for a meal another day so you can get to know him?"

Needless to say, the girl agreed to marry Li Jiasheng mainly because of the matchmaker; people have a certain admiration for soldiers.

Cui Xiaoman's decision to marry Li Jiasheng was also a gamble.

Li Jiasheng's previous monthly salary was only a dozen yuan. After coming to Beijing to work with Jiang Mingjing, his salary increased by five yuan, and his allowance also increased by three yuan.

Li Jiasheng still had room for his own mental growth. He could stay by Jiang Mingjing's side for a year or two before returning to the army, and his promotion would be very fast.

Shen Qiaoyue was also curious to see what kind of girl she was, and how she could be so bold as to choose to marry a man with a lower salary than her.

Li Jiasheng has no savings from his current salary. The wedding will cost nearly 300 yuan, and Li Jiasheng will most likely have to ask his family for money.

“Yes, tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I’ll have Xiao Liu go with you to pick up Xiao Man to come and pay her New Year’s respects. I’ve already prepared the gifts for you today.” Jiang Mingjing really enjoyed chatting with Li Jiasheng; he was very honest and straightforward.

Jiang Mingjing knew that Li Jiasheng's current salary was very low, so the girls he introduced to Li Jiasheng all came from good families and had good personalities.

Li Jiasheng's father was the village's brigade leader, and he earned fifteen yuan a month, so their living conditions were quite good.

The mother was a model worker in the village, and the Li family had many siblings. The older sister married a good husband.

In general, after getting married, Li Jiasheng only needs to enjoy his life as a couple with his wife.

Li Jiasheng is still young, and there is plenty of room for him to be promoted.

"No need to trouble Brother Liu, I'll just pick up the bicycle and go pick up Xiaoman during my break." Li Jiasheng was already embarrassed by the favors he received from his superiors, and he dared not ride in their car.

“This is a special case. It’s your first time visiting relatives for the New Year, so of course you need to be presentable.” Jiang Mingjing was really going to great lengths to find a partner for Li Jiasheng.

When Li Jiasheng thought about bringing Cui Man over, he lowered his head shyly.

Lu He looked at Li Jiasheng and laughed, "Brother Jiasheng, you're so shy. Don't be shy like this when you go to someone's house, that won't do!"

"No, you can't be shy." Da Nian said seriously to Li Jiasheng while eating.

When Da Nian said that, everyone at the table started laughing.

Xiao Nian was still a child and couldn't understand what was being said at all.

"Grandpa, why does Uncle Jiasheng go to other people's houses to wish them a Happy New Year?" Xiao Nian asked his grandfather curiously.

"Because Uncle is getting married!" Jiang Mingjing said seriously.

"Getting a wife! What is a wife?" Xiao Nian asked curiously again.

Shen Qiaoyue and Lu Chen exchanged a glance.

“It means our Xiao Nian has an aunt now, so there’s one more person to love and care for her,” Lu Chen replied to Xiao Nian carefully.

After hearing this, Xiao Nian happily exclaimed, "Yay!"

"Xiao Nian, come to Grandpa's?" Jiang Mingjing called Xiao Nian to his side while eating.

On the eve of the Lunar New Year, she obediently came to her grandfather's side.

"Xiao Nian, did you have fun visiting your aunt's house today?" Jiang Mingjing asked Xiao Nian.

"Happy, happy, eating meat, Uncle... give me a big hug." Xiao Nian happily responded to Jiang Mingjing.

Jiang Mingjing smiled and his gaze towards Xiao Nian softened considerably.

He lifted Xiao Nian onto his lap, and after he had eaten enough, he wanted to have a good chat with his grandchildren.

"Tomorrow, Lu Chen will accompany me to pick up my maternal grandmother so we can celebrate the New Year together. My great-grandmother will also be coming." Jiang Mingjing was about to get down to business.

Lu Chen had long heard that the rumored grandmother was not a character he had just encountered.

Shen Qiaoyue looked at Lu Chen.

“Your Uncle Xu’s family used to come over to our house to celebrate New Year’s Eve together. This year, I’m also planning to invite your Uncle Xu’s family over to celebrate New Year’s Eve together. Do you all have any objections?” Jiang Mingjing asked the children.

"Yes, I have no objection. Uncle Xu is fun." Da Nian really likes Xu Feiming.

Jiang Mingjing also noticed it.

Lu Chen looked at Lu He, wanting to ask her how her day with Xu Feiming went, but judging from Lu He's expression, she didn't seem very happy.

Jiang Mingjing also looked at Lu He.
