Political Commissar Chi recalled Xiaomei's reaction when he told her about this.
Xiaomei looked determined and said that as long as Qi Mo Nan was not married, she still had a chance.
In order to create opportunities for his granddaughter, he shamelessly invited Qi Mo Nan to visit his home, but unfortunately Qi Mo Nan was too busy and had no time to keep the appointment.
Because of this delay in getting married, the marriage report has been approved and the house in the family compound has been selected.
Political Commissar Chi felt extremely regretful. He had not seen many younger generations as outstanding as Qi Mo Nan. The two boys from the He family could be considered, but unfortunately the eldest was a little older and the second was a little younger, neither of them being as good as Qi Mo Nan.
He didn't even know what to tell his granddaughter when he got home.
Mr. Qi saw that Mr. Chi was worried, so he didn't say anything. After chatting for a few minutes, he got up and said goodbye.
When Mr. Qi met Qi Monan when he was leaving the military area, he simply asked Qi Monan not to drive and took his car back home. The grandfather and grandson also chatted for a while on the way.
As the car drove out of the military area, Old Qi asked Qi Monan, "Do you still remember the girl from the Chi family?"
Qi Mo Nan thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't remember. Who are you asking about?"
Mr. Qi said, "That was the chubby girl who chased after you every day and gave you peach cakes when you were fifteen."
Qi Monan thought about it seriously again, but still couldn't remember.
"Later, when you joined the army, that girl chased you to the gate of the compound, crying, and wanted to give you all the snacks she had hidden away!"
After hearing this, Qi Mo Nan had some impression that this was the case, but he did not take the bag, and he did not remember what the little girl looked like.
"Why do you suddenly bring this up?" Qi Mo Nan asked.
Elder Qi sighed, "I didn't want to tell you this, but since you and Xiaoyun are moving into the compound soon, I have to tell you. Chi Mei has liked you since she was a child and has been waiting for you. Now she's 25 and still unmarried. Political Commissar Chi wanted to help his granddaughter match you two up and even came to me to inquire about it. I told him you had a partner, so he didn't show up in front of you."
Qi Mo'nan had a blank expression on his face. Thinking of Political Commissar Chi's several invitations, he secretly felt lucky that he didn't have time to keep them.
Seeing that Qi Mo Nan didn't react, Old Qi didn't care. He said that this was just a reminder for him to be careful to avoid the girl from the Chi family when he met her in the compound in the future, so as to avoid any misunderstandings because of a few words.
The car drove into the compound, and Qi Lao and Qi Monan went to look at the house together.
As soon as the gate opened, Aunt Qian, who had just moved in next door, ran over. Without knocking, she walked straight into the yard. After looking around, she started shouting, "I was thinking this yard is better than ours. It looks much more spacious. I heard they even grow vegetables in the field at the back. The land is ready to be cultivated. I want to take a look."
Aunt Qian rushed to the back of the house without caring about anything. After looking around, she came back with a handful of vegetables in her hand and muttered something to herself. Seeing Qi Mo Nan and Old Man Qi still standing in the front yard, she walked over and asked, "Has this yard been divided into sections?"
Qi Monan had a blank expression on his face. He glanced at the vegetables in Aunt Qian's hand and said calmly, "This house is mine now. What can I do for you?"
Aunt Qian looked Qi Mo Nan up and down and thought that this man looked so young, at most he was a regimental commander, while her husband was a brigade commander, a higher rank could dominate others, so he should not refuse to exchange houses with him.
Aunt Qian spoke directly, "We just moved in too. My husband's surname is Zhu, and he's the commander of the 11th Brigade." Aunt Qian gauged Qi Monan's reaction, but seeing no reaction, she continued, "Look, I fell in love with this courtyard when I first arrived," she pointed to the ground below. "But the clerk said it was already booked, so I had to choose the one next door. How about this, we switch places? I've already cleaned up my place, and it's spotless everywhere. It's much nicer than yours."
Qi Monan had heard of Brigade Commander Zhu, who was promoted from Southern Province. It was said that he got this promotion opportunity by sheer luck. Originally, another more capable person was supposed to hold this position, but unfortunately, that person had an accident, and this big trouble fell on him.
