"Nanfang, you've caught a cold. Take some medicine quickly, or you'll infect Niu Niu."
Seeing Mu Nanfang constantly sneezing, Mu's mother urged him to take his medicine quickly.
"Many people have caught colds lately, so you really need to be careful in the south and don't be careless."
Mu Dongfang also mentioned with concern that several pilots in their team had caught a cold.
"Whether he catches a cold or not is uncertain, but he'll definitely get it from people talking about him."
Mu Beifang looked at Mu Laosan with a smile, knowing that his future father-in-law was probably cursing him in his heart.
"Who can talk about him? He always speaks his mind and hurts people. Even Zhao Man gave up on him. I heard she found a Hong Kong businessman who drives a car worth hundreds of thousands!"
Mu's mother thought that Mu Laosan was likely to remain single for life, as all the girls who liked him had been brought to tears by his words. In the past, there were still naive young girls who would try to get close to him, but in the last year or two, not a single one had come up.
"Yeah, I saw it too. That guy isn't as good-looking as the young man, and he's only half a head taller than Sister Man. His hair is slicked back and shiny, and he's wearing a suit, which he says is some big brand and costs over a thousand yuan."
Mu Jiaojiao has a lot to say about these things.
"Mu Jiaojiao, your final exam results are out, right? What was your ranking? How many subjects did you fail?"
Mu Nanfang deliberately brought up a sore spot, causing Mu Jiaojiao to have tears welling up in her eyes, but she dared not let them fall.
"Mu Nanfang, why did you provoke Xiaoxi again? No wonder you keep sneezing. You must have offended someone again, and they're probably scolding you at home."
Mother Mu was also at her wits' end with her third son. He used to be universally disliked, but now that he had finally been admitted to university and seemed to be making something of himself, it was all because of his sharp tongue.
"Haha... Nanfang, I bet a dollar that Commander Gu is talking about you at home."
Mu Beifang couldn't help but laugh as he thought about Mu Nanfang's impending fate. Let him gloat; Commander Gu was known for doting on his daughter, and he didn't believe Mu Nanfang would have an easy time.
"Why is Commander Gu talking about him?" Mother Mu asked, puzzled.
"Does Commander Gu know?"
Commander Mu immediately understood; this was a direct confrontation with the girl from the Gu family.
"Liu Jiu should have told her family. We talked things out today. Let's get to know each other first, and when we reach the right age, we can get our marriage certificate."
Mu Nanfang was overjoyed, but he maintained a calm demeanor on his face.
"Get the marriage certificate? Who gets the marriage certificate?"
"Nanfang, are you dating someone?"
"Hey bro, are you dating that little black girl?"
Mu's mother, Mu's eldest sister-in-law, and Mu's youngest sister all uttered questions from the depths of their souls at roughly the same time.
"Mu Jiaojiao, if I ever hear you call her 'little dark-skinned girl' again, you're finished. Call her Sister Gu or Sister Yun Chu, remember that, don't get it wrong."
Mu Nanfang looked serious, and Mu Jiaojiao nodded timidly; she was genuinely afraid of her brother.
"Mu Nanfang, when did you start dating? No, why didn't you tell us before you got married? Don't you have any respect for your parents?"
Mother Mu's voice rose eight octaves, and she no longer cared about Mu Nanfang threatening her daughter.
“My marriage is not yours. Besides, my dad knows. It’s just that Liu Jiu was too young before, so I couldn’t tell her these things. It’s only been confirmed today.”
Mu Nanfang felt that his idea was right. After he got married, he would definitely not live with a large family. It was too much trouble.
"Old Mu, what exactly happened?"
"The Gu family's little girl is very outstanding. Mu Nanfang likes her, but she is young, so he has been waiting for her to grow up."
"Southern, weren't you planning to wait until the girl turned eighteen before making your intentions clear?"
Commander Mu had asked about the South a while ago, and the South said there was no rush.
Commander Mu had paid attention to the child's performance at school, and he was truly outstanding. He was at the top of his class in both academic subjects and practical exercises, especially in English, where he could even help the teacher translate materials.
"That was my plan, but plans can change quickly. There are plenty of talented people out there, and I'm not the only one who can see their potential. I'm getting impatient because if someone else snatches them away, I'll be a bachelor for life!"
The thing Mu Nanfang wants to do most right now is to thank Ma Zijun, truly.
"We'll talk about it when you turn eighteen. How old are you now?"
"You'll be seventeen after the New Year, the future's best pilot!"
Mu Nanfang looked proud. His family would be flying fighter jets after 1969, how cool would that be!
"You're not talking about that outstanding freshman girl this year, are you?"
After thinking for a moment, Brother Mu still raised his question.
"Do you know Gu Yunchu, a freshman at the Air Force Command Academy?"
Mu Nanfang hadn't expected that his son Liu Jiu's name was so well-known that even his older brother knew about it.
“I taught them for two weeks. That girl was excellent. She combined theory and practice very well and had a very stable mindset. Most students couldn’t reach her level. She was extremely calm in the face of problems.”
Mu Dongfang had noticed Gu Yun Chu during class. She was quick-witted, and most importantly, she had a remarkably stable mindset. A good mindset is crucial for an excellent pilot; remaining calm and composed in the face of emergencies can often be a lifesaver.
Hearing everyone in the family praising the girl, Mu's mother was quite curious. How could such an outstanding girl have taken a liking to her son from the South? Could it be that she was attracted to his son's good looks?
"Only sixteen? That's too young. Will her parents agree to it?"
If Mu's mother thought about it, she would not have agreed to let her daughter Xiaoxi date someone when she was sixteen.
“Mom, Liu Jiu is only sixteen years old, but she has made clear plans for her future. We have already explained our thoughts to each other. We are not doing anything now. Whether we are dating or not is just a formality. We should just do what we need to do. She only gets one day off a month, so we don’t have many opportunities to see each other.”
Mu Nanfang knew very well that he now only had an additional title, and nothing else would change.
"You should keep this to yourselves. Don't go around making a fuss about it. They're still young, there's no need to make it known to everyone."
"The Gu family's young lady is very outstanding, and she's a key talent our unit is cultivating. Don't attract too much attention to her. Especially you, Mu Jiaojiao, watch your mouth. You're not a child anymore; no one will tolerate you indefinitely."
Commander Mu didn't want to attract jealousy; if something happened, it wouldn't be good for anyone.
Sister-in-law Mu was quite surprised that her father-in-law valued Mu Nanfang's partner so much; she must be an exceptional person!
Brother Mu was quite pleased. As a pilot, he naturally had a strong appreciation for soldiers who could go further. Moreover, this outstanding person might become family in the future.
Mu Erge already knew this, and all he felt was envy and blessings.
Commander Mu was thinking to himself how to get Division Commander Gu to agree to give Mu Nanfang a beating to vent his anger. That should be about right.
Mu's mother felt that at only sixteen years old, everything was uncertain, and with Mu Nanfang's personality, she really didn't know how long he could hold on.
Mu Xiaomei felt she was doomed. With her father now having someone to compare her to, what good days would she have left?
