Chen Ruiguo had no choice but to agree, but his heart sank to the bottom. His sister and Jiang Tiecheng were truly a pair of star-crossed lovers.

After finally getting past my father and then my mother, I never expected that I would be stuck with my grandfather as well.

The old man is neither a father nor a mother, so he's not so easy to sway. Besides, the old man's friendship with Old Master Ouyang is undeniable; probably ten Jiang Tiechengs couldn't compare to one Old Master Ouyang.

What am I going to do? How can I bring this up with my sister? She'll be furious if she hears this.

The old man is not in good health. He suffered from many illnesses during the war, and now his body is prone to various problems.

Right now, if my sister isn't careful, she might upset the old man so much that he ends up in the hospital.

What should we do?

This is a situation that pleases neither side.

Fortunately, Grandpa Ouyang is currently undergoing surgery, so he probably won't be in such a rush to get this done now.

However, he felt a little resentful, wondering why Jiang Tiecheng was so stubborn.

While it's good for a man to have some backbone, it's a shame that he had to procrastinate when he could have handled the matter simply.

Otherwise, if I had come with my sister six months ago, we might have gained the old man's approval.

Now things have gotten complicated. They don't know what's been going on with Jiang Tiecheng for the past six months, but things have already changed for the old man.

The fifth son of the Ouyang family is good, but his younger sister doesn't like him. What can be done?

These two grew up together as childhood sweethearts; if they could be together, they would have been together long ago.

Grandpa is just randomly pairing people up.

But does he dare to say it? Is he even able to say it?

Chen Ruixue walked over from the guardhouse, knocked on the window, peeked out, and asked,

"Grandpa, do you have any mail for me?"

She and Jiang Tiecheng really did communicate through letters.

The two wrote letters almost every day, so they would definitely receive a letter every two days.

Actually, the letter was full of trivial matters and everyday family stories.

The two were simply enjoying the sweetest time of their relationship.

Even writing about trivial things makes me happy.

"Little Chen, I haven't received any news from you today. Wait until tomorrow."

The gatekeeper had known Chen Ruixue for a long time. There was no way he wouldn't recognize her; the girl came to the gatehouse every day asking for mail.

Chen Ruixue was a little disappointed. After thanking the doorman, she could only return to her dormitory in a sullen mood.

That shouldn't be the case. It's been three days. How come Jiang Tiecheng hasn't written to me yet?

Could it be that Jiang Tiecheng has been too busy with work lately?

Of course she knew that Jiang Tiecheng had been transferred to the medical team.

Becoming a surgeon was a difficult situation for her.

If Jiang Tiecheng were the head of the security department, she would understand!

Joining the army is acceptable, because the fundamental nature of the work is similar. Men are strong and healthy, and after training, they can easily master any kind of work.

But Jiang Tiecheng suddenly became a surgeon in the medical team, and he performed surgeries every day.

For the past six months, just thinking about the funny things Jiang Tiecheng described in his letters about his surgeries and the doctors who came to learn from him chasing after him calling him "teacher" made her laugh.

Having surgery and joining the army are two completely different things.

And why would those people easily let Jiang Tiecheng perform surgery?

However, Jiang Tiecheng has successfully performed so many surgeries, many of which are procedures that are currently unavailable in China.

This is true.

It's impossible for these people to have been playing games with Jiang Tiecheng for the past six months.

Even she couldn't imagine how someone could be so talented.

However, because of this, she admired and appreciated Jiang Tiecheng even more.

This is my man. Just look at him. If he wants to learn something, he can definitely surpass everyone else.

There's nothing Jiang Tiecheng can't do.

More importantly, if Jiang Tiecheng is such a skilled surgeon, he certainly wouldn't remain an ordinary member of the 055th Regiment; he would probably be poached for talent considerations.

Even if they don't make it to Beijing, they'll probably reach the provincial capital.

The situation was different after we arrived at the provincial level.

Jiang Tiecheng did indeed deliver on his promise to himself, reaching a level that would match his own as soon as possible.

But she was also worried. Jiang Tiecheng was so outstanding, and many women liked him.

She hadn't forgotten that the female forensic doctor was still watching her closely.

If these women take advantage of his absence, even if the two have a deep relationship, if something irreversible happens, Jiang Tiecheng will probably have to obediently marry them.

Chen Ruixue became increasingly agitated and anxious the more she thought about it.

She was going to find her father.

If Jiang Tiecheng is so capable, why not transfer him to a hospital in Beijing?

My father also likes Jiang Tiecheng. If he were transferred to this hospital and saw Jiang Tiecheng's achievements, my parents would probably agree to their marriage.

Thinking of this, Chen Ruixue could no longer sit still. She immediately went out the door, rode her bicycle home.

Mr. and Mrs. Chen were talking to the old man on the sofa.

After the old lady passed away, the old man lived alone, so the couple moved in.

The siblings would often visit the old man to keep him company and talk to him, just in case he got bored by himself.

Seeing that the old man was in low spirits today, I also knew that he had gone to the hospital to visit Grandpa Ouyang.

Elderly people at this age face an unpredictable future, so it's understandable that the old man might be in low spirits.

The two were chatting with the old man when their daughter, whom they hadn't seen for many days, suddenly appeared.

Chen Ruixue is the apple of this family's eye; they spoil their only granddaughter rotten.

Seeing his granddaughter return, the old man smiled.

"You haven't been home for a week, what brings you back today?"

Upon seeing the old man, Chen Ruixue immediately went up to him, took his arm, and smiled sweetly, acting coquettishly.

"Grandpa, I missed you, so I came back to see my dear grandpa."

Grandpa Chen chuckled, tapped his granddaughter's forehead, and said,

"You! You're so glib. You think you miss me? You're kidding me."

Are you craving the food Aunt Li cooks at home?

"Look at you! It's only been a week, and you've gotten so thin! The food in the cafeteria is awful. You should come home and eat there more often."

"By the way, I've heard that your newspaper's cafeteria is pretty good."

"How did you get so hungry?"

Chen Ruixue laughed heartily.

"Grandpa, you can read my mind, you know exactly what I'm thinking."

You have no idea how awful the food is in our newspaper's cafeteria.

Just like boiled vegetables.

The cook wouldn't accept any feedback; if anyone said the food was bad, he'd immediately quit.

"Your poor granddaughter eats nothing but steamed buns every day."
