In the past two years, Chen Jiao has really been oblivious to everything else, focusing solely on dancing well.

When Chen Chuan got back, he told the old lady about Zhang Jun's mother going to school.

The old lady became a little anxious upon hearing this: "Then let Jiaojiao go back."

Chen Chuan: "Let's talk about it when my dad gets back."

"I'm afraid it will be too late."

"It won't be late. I asked, and my dad will be back the day after tomorrow."

"Alright then."

After Old Chen returned, Chen Chuan told him about Li Guixiang going to school. Old Chen thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you go and find out who Zhang Jun likes, where he is now, and whether he's married?"

"good."

From the matchmaker, Chen Chuan learned about the affair between Zhang Jun, Xiao Man, and Han Bin. After hearing this, Old Chen asked Chen Chuan to call Chen Jiao in.

"Jiaojiao, your father had your older brother investigate. The woman Zhang Jun likes is named Wang Xiaoman."

"Wang Xiaoman?" Back then, Xiaoman hadn't even arrived at the military region yet, but legends about her already circulated there. Chen Jiao was still in the military region then, so she had naturally heard the legends about Xiaoman. At that time, Chen Jiao paid close attention to Zhang Jun, so she knew that Zhang Jun had a fellow villager in the military region named Han Bin, and Wang Xiaoman was Han Bin's wife. The more Chen Jiao thought about it, the worse her expression became.

Old Chen knew his daughter was smart: "Now you know why Zhang Jun volunteered to teach at the military region, right?"

Chen Jiao closed her eyes briefly: "For Wang Xiaoman."

Old Chen: "He went before Wang Xiaoman even arrived. Wang Xiaoman is already married, yet he still traveled a long way to see her. As far as I know, Commander Han treats Wang Xiaoman very well; even though people say he's afraid of his wife, he doesn't care. Do you think Wang Xiaoman will divorce Han Bin?"

Chen Jiao: "No."

Old Chen stared into Chen Jiao's eyes and asked, "Do you think Zhang Jun can't see that the two of them won't get a divorce?"

"I can tell."

"Knowing full well that you can't have her, you still travel thousands of miles to get her. Jiaojiao, what you can't have is always the best. Jiaojiao, how much do you think Wang Xiaoman means to Zhang Jun? I'm afraid only his grandfather, his grandmother, his father, and his mother can compare to Wang Xiaoman."

Chen Jiao wanted to speak, but Old Chen shook his hand: "Don't speak yet. Do you think you and Wang Xiaoman are the same kind of people?"

"no."

Old Chen looked at his daughter and said, "Jiaojiao, you are very good, but you are not Zhang Jun's type. You can't replace Wang Xiaoman."

"I know."

Old Chen stroked his daughter's hair: "Jiaojiao, Dad hopes you will be happy."

"I……"

Chen Jiao had just mentioned "me" when Old Master Chen interrupted her: "Jiaojiao, go back and think about it carefully. It's best for a girl to marry someone who loves her. Look at Wang Xiaoman, if she had married someone who didn't love her, that person might have thought she was domineering and strong. But she married a man who loves her, and in Han Bin's eyes, these are all virtues. Jiaojiao, in the eyes of someone who loves you, your flaws are also virtues. In the eyes of someone who doesn't love you, your virtues are also flaws. Jiaojiao, Dad hopes you marry someone who loves you."

Old Chen stopped and looked at his daughter: "If you still want to marry Zhang Jun, I won't object. But I really don't want you to marry him. Jiaojiao, go back and think it over carefully. I'll give you three days. Tell me your decision after three days."

"Okay. Father, elder brother, I'm going back."

Old Chen nodded.

Chen Chuan: "Think it over carefully, this is a matter of a lifetime."

Chen Jiao: "I will think about it carefully."

After Chen Jiao left, the old lady came in: "How did the talk go?" The old lady was worried that Zhang Jun would marry someone else, and Old Master Chen was afraid that her emotions would affect Chen Jiao, so he didn't let her in.

Old Chen: "I gave Jiaojiao three days. If she still wants to marry Zhang Jun after three days, we will send her back."

"Isn't three days a bit long?"

Old Chen: "If they can't make it, then it's God's will that they're not meant to be together."

"What about Jiaojiao?"

Old Chen sighed, "Sometimes, I think it's better to let Jiaojiao live alone than to let her marry Zhang Jun. I get angry just thinking about how Jiaojiao has to beg and fawn over Zhang Jun."

Chen Chuan: "No, even if Jiao Jiao likes him a lot, she will never lower herself to please him."

Old Chen: "If he dares to let Jiaojiao coax him, I'll have someone put a sack over his head."

The old lady glared at Old Chen: "Jiaojiao will feel sorry for you."

"Then I'll tell them to go easy on him. Anyway, if he dares to let Jiaojiao coax him, I'll teach him a lesson."

Chen Chuan: "Yes. As long as Jiao Jiao doesn't find out."

The old lady looked at her husband and then at her son: "You two, you want to put a sack over someone's head before they've even married Jiaojiao."

Old Chen: "It's his own fault for not liking my daughter."

Chen Chuan: "It's his fault for not liking my sister."

The old lady shook her head: "You guys, let me tell you, if Jiaojiao really marries Zhang Jun, you'd better be polite to him."

Neither Old Chen nor Chen Chuan spoke.

Old lady: "Did you hear that?"

Old Chen: "Why are you so long-winded?"

Chen Chuan: "He's good to Jiao Jiao, so I'll be good to him."

The old lady said, "I really can't do anything with you guys."

On the other side.

While washing Xiaoman's feet, Han Bin discussed with her, "Xiaoman, I want my mother to come over. You see, our family is all men, none of them know how to take care of a pregnant woman."

Xiaoman looked up at the roof: "I don't need anyone to take care of me yet."

"use."

"Need not."

"Xiaoman, I don't feel at ease without my mother coming."

Xiaoman thought to herself: I'm not showing yet, why do I need so many people? "I'll have Mom come in two months."

"Xiaoman..."

"Shut up."

“Then, I’ll write a letter home and tell them you’re pregnant. I’ll also tell Mother to get ready.”

"OK."

The next day, Han Bin wrote a letter home.

Upon receiving the letter, Tang Huihui breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm finally pregnant."

Han Dashan: "Yes, I'm finally pregnant. I was getting anxious because I couldn't get pregnant for so long."

Tang Huihui: "No, I have to go now. It's not easy for her to get pregnant, what if... Besides, Xiaoman can't cook. It was fine before, we could just make do. But now that Xiaoman is pregnant, we can't just make do."

"Okay, go if you want to."

“I’ve never been out of the house before, you have to take me there.”

"OK."

"Oh right, didn't Binzi tell us to tell our in-laws? Go tell them. Also tell them we're going to the military region to see Xiaoman."

“Okay, I’ll have Zhuangzhuang write a letter to Binzi and tell them we’re going.”

Tang Huihui glanced at Han Dashan: "Are you so happy you're dizzy? We've arrived before the letter even arrived."

"Oh, right. How could I forget about that? I'll go tell my in-laws."

"Okay." Xiaoman's parents also wanted to go see her after they found out. So, the four of them set off together.

Han Bin ran into a military wife as soon as he entered the family quarters. Thanks to Shan Xiaoman, all the military wives in the quarters knew Han Bin. Han Dashan and his group brought a whole bunch of stuff with them when they arrived.

As soon as the military wife saw Han Bin, she said, "Commander Han, your parents and in-laws are all here."

Upon hearing this, Han Bin turned and ran home. He hadn't told his family about Xiaoman taking in Lao Shang and Lao Guo yet.
