"Just the fact that I'm remarried and have a son is enough to make many people look down on me," Ding Lanying said embarrassedly.
Zheng Xinyue replied in a serious tone, "Everyone has to have some flaws, right? If you really didn't have any flaws, you would have been snatched away by someone long ago, and you would have given birth to a bunch of children. Why would you still need to go on a blind date now?"
"Deputy Captain Lu is not a very senior officer, but he is still young and has room for advancement. Although he has a son, his godfather is an officer in Beijing, his godmother is a businessman in Beijing, his godfather is the head of the army, and Ao Nan has a good relationship with him. How can ordinary people compare to Deputy Captain Lu's connections? How many people are vying to be An An's stepmother."
Ding Lanying had already been a little shaken in the past two days, and after hearing what Zheng Xinyue said, she really felt that An An, the burden, was not a big deal at all.
Zheng Xinyue was right. When it comes to personal connections, most people can't compare to Lu Nianfei.
But even if she was moved, it was a little late now. She couldn't just go to Lu Nianfei and marry her daughter, right?
What if Lu Nianfei refuses, where will she put her face?
But if she does nothing, when Lu Nianfei gets married, her daughter and husband will definitely blame her.
Said absentmindedly.
"Yes! Deputy Captain Lu's conditions are indeed unmatched by most people. No wonder he is so popular."
Zheng Xinyue said with a smile.
"Isn't this fate?"
Ding Lanying couldn't help curling her lips, "What fate is this? If he didn't have the conditions, would the Beijing University students be interested in him? They are only interested in the conditions, not really sincere."
After saying that, he felt that what he said sounded a bit sour and quickly changed the subject.
"Do you have any young men around you who are about the same age as my Yuting? If there is a suitable one, please introduce one to my Yuting. She is so busy in the hospital all day that she has no time to date. As a mother, I am worried about her."
Zheng Xinyue looked enthusiastic and asked, "Yuting, do you have any requests?"
When Ding Lanying saw that there was a chance, she was immediately delighted, but she didn't want to lower her guard too much.
"Let's not talk about being well-matched! He can't be illiterate, right? Yuting graduated from university and has a stable job. I want to find her someone similar. Otherwise, even if I agree, she won't look down on me, right?"
Worried that Zheng Xinyue wouldn't understand what she meant, she added another sentence.
"If someone is really as outstanding as Deputy Headmaster Lu, it's okay for him to get married for the second time and have children."
Zheng Xinyue couldn't help laughing, and said with her white teeth bared.
"Director Ding, please don't get angry if I say something offensive."
Ding Lanying immediately showed an attitude of understanding the righteousness of the matter.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. I'm not a petty person."
Zheng Xinyue held Ding Lanying's arm and whispered mysteriously.
"If you really think that Deputy Captain Lu is good, why don't I just set him up with Yu Ting? They are from the same unit and know each other well. It will be convenient for Yu Ting to come back to see you. Although Deputy Captain Lu is a second marriage and is not worthy of Yu Ting, he has good character. As long as he treats Yu Ting well in the future, this shortcoming can actually be ignored."
"Besides, Deputy Head Lu said that when he gets married in the future, he will definitely hold a grand wedding and won't treat the girl unfairly."
Yang Niannian had specifically told her this in the letter, so she must bring it along.
Ding Lanying felt extremely relieved when she saw Zheng Xinyue following her guidance and saying that Lu Nianfei was not worthy of her daughter and that Lu Nianfei was planning a grand wedding.
Said with a critical look.
"He is a second marriage, so he is not worthy of Yuting. But if they really like each other, I don't object. In this new society, marriage is autonomous, and I am not a stubborn person."
Then he suddenly changed the subject and said, "However, he is going to have a blind date. I don't think he can succeed with the girl. My Yu Ting will not get involved in this matter to avoid embarrassment when we meet."
Zheng Xinyue quickly took over the conversation and said proudly.
"It's not embarrassing. What's embarrassing about this? He hasn't even gone on a blind date with anyone else. I heard that Yu Ting and An An have a good relationship, and they are much more suitable than the girl that Nian Nian introduced."
"My Yuting has a good personality and is patient with children." Ding Lanying looked proud. She had previously opposed her daughter being nice to An An, but now it has become a capital for showing off.
Zheng Xinyue smiled from ear to ear, "When will Yuting come back? I will talk to Deputy Head Lu first to see what he thinks. If both sides have no objection, when Yuting comes back, let them sit down and talk."
Ding Lanying was also happy, "Yuting will be back in two days. It's getting late. I'll go to the health center first."
"Okay, go ahead and do your thing first." Zheng Xinyue said.
Ding Lanying finally felt relieved and no longer had a stern face. When she left the military family compound, she still had a smile on her face. The other military wives were puzzled.
With Yang Niannian's evil idea and Zheng Xinyue's execution, Lu Nianfei and Zhang Yuting soon got the good news.
As soon as the matter was settled, Zheng Xinyue called Yang Niannian.
"Niannian, you don't know that Director Ding is so happy to see me now. She even knitted a scarf for me. From what she said, it seems that she plans to get married in the first half of next year."
"She is such a weird person. She was the one who disagreed at first, and now she is the one who is anxious for her daughter to get married."
Yang Niannian analyzed with a sly look on her face.
"The news that Nianfei and Yuting are dating has spread throughout the Military Family Courtyard, right? Director Ding is very concerned about his reputation, and he must be worried that if they date for too long and don't get married, people will talk behind their backs. Besides, Yuting is not young anymore."
Ding Lanying is very concerned about her reputation, likes to be praised by others, and likes to be better than others in everything.
With the deputy head of the group's wife acting as a matchmaker, and Lu Nianfei holding a grand wedding to give Ding Lanying enough face, she naturally agreed.
Maybe Ding Lanying is still feeling smug at home right now because she had snatched up the matchmaking job she was going to make and felt that she was superior to her.
Yang Niannian's guess was indeed correct. Ding Lanying had been secretly happy about this matter during this period.
Since Ding Lanying agreed to Zhang Yuting and Lu Nianfei, Zhang Yuting has come back more often and the mother-daughter relationship has improved a lot.
Ding Lanying secretly kept saying that girls should not be kept at home when they grow up, and at night, lying in bed, she discussed her daughter's marriage with Political Commissar Zhang.
"Yuting is not young anymore. She and Nianfei have known each other for a long time. They are familiar with each other, and there is nothing much to know."
"If you ask me, we should hold the wedding after the Chinese New Year, so that these young people don't do anything out of line together, which would be embarrassing if it gets out."
"They got married and had children early. When I retire next year, I can help take care of the baby and not interfere with Yuting's work."
Political Commissar Zhang was satisfied with his son-in-law, so naturally he had no objection to his daughter's marriage.
"You should discuss this with the matchmaker. If you really plan to hold the wedding next year, you should start planning your dowry in advance. You should at least bring six quilts and a watch as a dowry."
The son is married and the daughter is working again. They have given the old couple a lot of money in the past two years. It is only natural for them to give some dowry. If it gets out, it will bring them honor.
Ding Lanying was very concerned about her reputation, so she had no objection to giving a dowry to her daughter, and she said proudly.
"Yang Niannian has always been against me, but I finally got the better of her. I don't know if she will bear a grudge and not come to the wedding."
Now that her daughter is dating Lu Nianfei, Ding Lanying's thoughts have changed. She doesn't want her daughter's family to be cut off from the connection between Yang Niannian and Lu Shishen.
Political Commissar Zhang felt the same as Mingjing, thinking that this was most likely a trap. Otherwise, given the relationship between Zheng Xinyue and Yang Niannian, why would someone suddenly intervene?
No matter what, he was still satisfied with the result.
Seeing his wife's smug look, he didn't point it out and just turned over and said.
"It's not certain whether Lu Shishen will come, but Yang Niannian will definitely come. It's getting late, so go to bed! You can discuss with the matchmaker later and set the wedding date before preparing the quilt."
