Lu Nianfei clinked glasses with Political Commissar Zhang again, and after taking a sip of wine, he began to educate An An.

"An An, why do you call people when I never see you normally? Boys should not be too shy, you should be more lively, call elders when you meet them, and be a good and polite child. From now on, when you meet Political Commissar Zhang and Director Ding, call them grandpa and grandma."

An An's eyes rolled around twice, and she quickly followed his words and called out to Political Commissar Zhang.

"Grandpa Zhang."

Ding Lanying had been eavesdropping on the noise outside the house. When she heard Lu Nianfei asking An An to call them grandpa and grandma, she could no longer hold it in and put down the half-knitted sweater and came out.

"Don't teach your child to yell. My wife and I can't stand it. I hate people who use name calling to curry favor with others. It ruins the morale of the army."

Political Commissar Zhang glanced at Ding Lanying but did not say anything to stop her, and just stood aside and acted as a invisible man.

An An was a little afraid of Ding Lanying. When she saw Ding Lanying coming out, she lowered her head and dared not say a word.

Lu Nianfei didn't take it seriously and continued with a thick face.

"Director Ding, this doesn't count as climbing the ranks. We are all in the army, and you are An An's elders. Let alone calling you, even if you call the old commander grandpa, he will agree."

Ding Lanying suddenly remembered that the old leader adopted Yang Niannian as his goddaughter, and An An was Yang Niannian's godson. So, An An should indeed call the old leader grandpa.

She couldn't respond, so she just made it clear.

"Deputy Captain Lu, I know what you are thinking. I advise you to give up the idea as soon as possible."

Lu Nianfei was not angry and spoke with a smile.

"Some thoughts don't just come up in a day or two, and they don't disappear so quickly. Director Ding, don't be so angry. I just had nothing to do, so I came to chat with Political Commissar Zhang."

As he spoke, he sighed heavily and said meaningfully.

"Originally I could have a drink with Ao Nan, but now he's married and the others have families too, so it's not appropriate for me to go with them."

These words seemed to wake up Political Commissar Zhang. He had been silent before, but now he smiled and acted like a good guy.

"I like to be lively when I am old, and it would be nice to have you come and chat with me and have a couple of drinks."

Ding Lanying glared at her husband and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it.

Although she knew what Lu Nianfei was thinking, he didn't say it explicitly. If she couldn't hold it in, wouldn't that ruin her daughter's reputation?

Lu Nianfei also had good sense. Seeing that Ding Lanying looked unhappy, he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp and stood up and said.

"It's getting late today, I'll take An An back to do homework, you guys should also go to bed early."

Upon hearing this, An An quickly packed up her homework and prepared to leave.

Political Commissar Zhang stood up and saw the guest off. "My son-in-law sent me a bottle of good wine a few days ago. It's boring to drink it alone. Come over tomorrow night. I'll ask Lanying to cook two side dishes and we can try them together."

Lu Nianfei agreed very readily, bent down, picked up An An, and walked out of the yard leisurely.

An An felt that his father was a little abnormal today. He was so old, but his father still picked him up, which made him feel very awkward.

I couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Dad, do you want to bring Sister Yuting back to be my mother?"

Lu Nianfei was amused by his son's choice of words, "Do you like Aunt Yuting?"

An An usually calls Yu Ting Sister, and now she feels a little uncomfortable hearing the term Aunt Yu Ting.

Hesitantly said.

"Aunt Yuting is very nice, but her mother is a bit fierce."

Lu Nianfei's lips curled up with a wicked smile, "She won't be vicious for long, don't be afraid."

An An said "Oh" as if he understood something, and probably guessed that Zhang Yuting might become his stepmother, and he felt secretly happy in his heart.

If he really has to have a stepmother in the future, Sister Yuting seems to be the best candidate. She is kind to him, gentle and not mean at all.

On this side, Ding Lanying saw Lu Nianfei walking away with the child in her arms, and turned around to question Political Commissar Zhang.

"Don't you know what he's thinking? Why did you let him come to drink?"

"I'm telling you, you'd better make him give up the idea as soon as possible. Yu Ting will never marry, and I will never agree to her having any relationship with Lu Nianfei. She is a good virgin, if she finds a divorced man with children, where will I put my face? Wouldn't others laugh at me behind my back? I can't afford to lose face like this."

Political Commissar Zhang pondered for a while and said.

"I didn't say I agree with anything, why are you so excited? You should change your mindset sometimes. It's a different era now, and you're still so conservative."

Ding Lanying insisted, "No matter what era it is, I will never let Yuting become someone else's second wife."

Political Commissar Zhang frowned. "What do you mean by remarrying? That's such a harsh statement, it's a feudal mentality."

Ding Lanying also realized that what she said was a bit harsh and snorted.

"Anyway, he shouldn't even think about hitting on Yu Ting. If Yu Ting dares to follow him, I'll hang myself at the door of the hospital."

Political Commissar Zhang was a little disgusted by his wife's behavior of always talking about death and threatening people.

"Why are you acting like an uneducated country woman now? How old is Yuting now? She will be thirty in a few years. How many men of her age and with good conditions are still unmarried?"

"There are so many unmarried people. If Yuting wasn't so picky, I would have helped her find a suitable family long ago." Ding Lanying said.

Political Commissar Zhang snorted, "You are just deceiving yourself. Let's not talk about the distant past. Just look at the ranks above battalion commander in the army. Who is still single?"

"It's true that Lu Nianfei is a second marriage, but he is capable. How many people in the army can compare with him? If you hadn't stopped her and ignored my advice, Yu Ting would have married Lu Shishen and had children."

This is a thorn in his heart, and every time he thinks about it, he feels regretful.

Women with short-sightedness will only do harm.

Ding Lanying hated it most when her husband mentioned this matter and she would explode when she heard it.

"Don't mention Lu Shishen to me. What's wrong with him being capable? Does my daughter have to marry him? Even if he is the emperor now, I still don't think he is worthy of my daughter."

Political Commissar Zhang felt that he couldn't make sense of it with his wife. "Think about it carefully. Why has Yuting come back less and less in the past two years? She has become more and more estranged from us. Do you really want her to live out her life alone?"

Outsiders cannot see what his daughter is thinking, but how can he, as a father, not see it?

The daughter is well-educated, and even if she has some thoughts in her mind, for the sake of their face, she always abides by her duties and does not do anything out of line.

How can he, as a father, be blind?

Besides, apart from getting married and having a son, Lu Nianfei's other conditions are indeed good, at least he is satisfied.

Now that there is nothing to be said, he will test the waters first and not jump to conclusion. In any case, he must not block his daughter's way out.
