At seven in the morning, Huang Lingwei slowly opened her eyes, and then saw her boyfriend looking at her with a smile. She couldn't help but asked shyly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Because you are pretty!"
Huang Lingwei was delighted by the compliment, but she snorted, "You're quite sweet-mouthed. Are you afraid that I'll settle the score with you?"
Jiang Feng blinked and said, "What are you going to settle?"
Huang Lingwei reached out and pinched him, "I asked you to pretend. We clearly agreed to sleep in each other's arms, but in the end... well..."
But Jiang Feng didn't let her continue...
An hour later.
The two of them felt refreshed and asked Bai Zian to have breakfast together.
After breakfast, on the way back to get the car, Jiang Feng said to his girlfriend apologetically: "Wife, you will be free from now on. Brother Bai and I will pick up Uncle Bai and Aunt Bai, and then go to Uncle Qiao and Aunt Qiao's house together. I guess I won't be free to come back to accompany you until the afternoon."
Huang Lingwei smiled and said, "It's more important for you to do your work. I'll just go back to the hotel and rest."
"That's fine, call me if you have anything."
"I know. You don't have to worry about me."
…
At 10:12 in the morning, Jiang Feng accompanied Bai Zian to pick up his parents.
When he saw Jiang Feng, Father Bai smiled and stretched out his hand, saying, "Master Jiang, I have heard of your great name for a long time. Thank you very much for introducing such a good match for my son this time."
Jiang Feng stretched out his hands and shook hands with him, also smiling and saying: "Uncle Bai, you are too polite. Brother Bai and I get along well, so I naturally dare not be careless about his marriage. Fortunately, I lived up to your trust and finally found a partner that satisfied him."
Then Bai's mother greeted Jiang Feng very politely.
Bai's father and mother were very kind to Jiang Feng. On the one hand, Jiang Feng was introducing a good marriage for their son. For a family like theirs, it was really not easy to find someone who was well-matched and liked by their children. On the other hand, after listening to their son's stories about Jiang Feng, they knew that Jiang Feng was a truly capable person.
Even Mr. Bai, who is a powerful man, dare not neglect such a strange man in the world.
The three of them exchanged a few polite words before getting in the car.
This time, Mr. and Mrs. Bai flew over from Guangxi Province to meet their future in-laws. Naturally, they did not come empty-handed, but brought with them the local specialty of Guangxi Province - Bama sesame oil.
The price of this thing is not expensive at all for people of their level, but the meaning is very good. After all, it comes from Bama, which is ranked first among the five longevity villages in the world. It is said that eating it is good for the body and it is also suitable as a gift.
While Jiang Feng and the Bai family's three members were heading to the J District compound, the Qiao family's three members were also busy at home.
Mother Qiao is a woman who is good at both housework and cooking. Her cooking skills are quite good. This is also the reason why Father Qiao decided to host a banquet for the Bai family at home. If Mother Qiao’s cooking skills were not good, then they would have to eat out for dinner today.
At this time, while peeling potatoes, Qiao's mother said to Qiao's father who offered to help, "Old Qiao, have you asked someone to investigate the situation of the Bai family?"
While peeling garlic, Qiao's father replied, "Of course I have investigated. If you are planning to become a relative with someone, you must investigate the other party's situation carefully."
Mother Qiao asked, "How is the investigation going?"
Father Qiao said: "It seems good at the moment. The other party has a good reputation and is not the kind of person who would do anything crooked."
Mother Qiao nodded and said, "That's good. For a family like ours, we are not afraid of the in-laws having low positions, but we are afraid of them having bad intentions. Sooner or later, we will be implicated."
Father Qiao smiled and said, "I understand this. Now we are just trying to get a preliminary understanding of the other party's reputation. Next, we have to mobilize our connections to investigate the other party in detail."
Mother Qiao was relieved when she heard this, and changed the subject, asking, "Have you replied to your old subordinates?"
Father Qiao sighed, "I have already replied to him. In fact, Lei Hai is a pretty good guy, but my daughter doesn't like him. There is nothing we can do about it. Fortunately, the person my daughter likes is also good now."
Mother Qiao said: "In fact, compared to them, I still like Professor Bai better. It's not that Lei Hai is not good, but Lei Hai himself is a special forces soldier, and our daughter can barely be considered a special forces soldier. If these two are together, I'm afraid they will be so busy that they can't see each other a few times a year.
Professor Bai is different. University professors have a lot of free time, so they can accommodate our daughter. It is definitely better to be with Professor Bai than with Lei Hai."
Father Qiao nodded and said, "That's true."
…
In the living room, Qiao Fenghuang was tidying up some odds and ends, then wiping the table, washing the fruit plates, etc.
While busy, Qiao Fenghuang also felt that marriage was really a wonderful thing. A few days ago, she had never thought about having a boyfriend. At that time, the only things in her mind were training and completing missions.
But since that matchmaker Jiang came to her, everything changed!
Thinking that she was about to meet the other party's parents, even though she was usually fearless, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
At the same time, she began to think about her work. When she was busiest in training, she didn't go home once a year, but it didn't matter. After all, her parents were soldiers and they understood her.
However, if this marriage goes through, she will have to consider her family. It is impossible for her to not go home once a month like she does now. Her future husband will definitely not agree to that.
After all, he had already asked this question when they first met.
…
At 11:18 in the morning, Jiang Feng and his party arrived at the Provincial J Army compound.
Because they had called in advance and reported the license plate number to the Qiao family, when the guards at the compound saw Jiang Feng's car, they immediately let it pass, allowing Jiang Feng and others to arrive at the Qiao family smoothly.
After getting off the car, the two sides greeted each other under Jiang Feng's introduction and exchanged some pleasantries before entering the Qiao family.
Bai's mother handed the hemp oil she brought to Qiao's mother and said with a smile, "Madam Qiao, this is our Guangxi Province's local specialty Bama hemp oil, also known as longevity oil. This is a kind of oil that the long-lived elderly people in Bama have eaten for generations. Eating it for a long time is very good for the body. I hope you like it."
Mother Qiao took it and said politely, "Mrs. Bai, you are so thoughtful. I like it very much. Please sit down and have a cup of tea. I will cook a few dishes and we can start eating!"
Father Qiao and Father Bai have also started chatting. Although they are not from the same system, the military and political divisions are inseparable, so there are naturally many topics to talk about.
Here, Qiao's mother went into the kitchen to cook, and Qiao Fenghuang came over to greet Bai's mother.
At this point, since this is the first time we've met each other, we have to be polite.
In general, both parties were quite satisfied. After all, the pair that Jiang Feng matched had a really high score.
