Xie Heng looked at Qin Zheng who was standing alone. "Qin Zheng, you're already quite old, and you still don't have a partner. You really feel sorry for your parents! Do you want me to ask my mother to be a matchmaker and introduce you to someone?"
"Qin Zheng, we are all from the same team, so we should help each other. If you have any difficulties, just tell me and I will definitely help."
Qin Zheng flipped through the book without even glancing at Xie Heng. He said coldly, "No."
Xie Heng's face was cold as he continued to speak incoherently, "Qin Zheng, do you think we can stay in the military academy? If we can stay in the capital, it will be so prestigious when we return to the village."
Qin Zheng put down the book in his hand and looked at Xie Heng without saying a word, his eyes fixed on Xie Heng.
Xie Heng thought it was his words that had caused Qin Zheng to react. After all, the news of Zhang Yumei's love for him had spread throughout the military academy, and Qin Zheng couldn't have been unaware of it. Just as Xie Heng was expecting Qin Zheng to flatter him like those outside, Qin Zheng said nothing and continued to pick up his book.
Xie Heng cursed under his breath and turned around to do his own thing.
The next day, Xu Chengde welcomed the principal of the military academy into his office.
Xu Chengde was a little surprised, "Old man, why are you here?"
"What kind of place is this? Can't I come in? Or can't I just come and see you?"
"Yes, yes, of course. Come to think of it, even though we live close together, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
The military academy principal put down his teacup and said, "My dear, you know I'm a straightforward person. I won't beat around the bush with you. I have a mission this time."
"What kind of mission is it that would require you, the principal, to personally take charge?"
"My husband heard someone say in the family compound that the daughter of Zhang Dabing from your logistics department has a crush on Xie Heng from our school. He thought that there are still a lot of unemployed officers in the military academy, so he wanted to organize a social gathering so that everyone can get to know each other and see if there is anyone who can get a date first."
"That's a good idea, sister-in-law. But, for this matter, you could just give me a call. Why go to all that trouble and come here in person?"
The principal thought for a moment and said, "Brother, we have known each other for so many years, sharing life and death. My sister-in-law passed away early, leaving behind only Zhiyi and Zhiyan, a brother and sister. You have no plans to remarry in these years, so you have been both a father and a mother. Although not everything can go smoothly, it is not bad at all.
But now our Zhiyi is a grown-up girl, and it’s time to make plans. Look, my husband came to you early this morning and told me that it’s time to find a marriage for Zhiyi.”
"Guai Guai has her own thoughts, and I, as her father, can't force her. Besides, getting married is like a second life. If I don't find the right person, it will hurt Guai Guai."
Xu Chengde observed the principal's expression and asked, "Brother, have you heard something?"
"You can't hide anything from me! I went to a meeting a few days ago and heard from the higher-ups that there seems to be another round of reforms, and this time the movement is a bit big. Brother, you must have heard something, which is why Xiang Wen and Xiang Wu ran away so long ago. However, even if you sever ties with the An family, I'm afraid you will still suffer a lot this time."
"Brother, what good ideas do you have?"
"Or you can take Zhiyi and Zhiyan to the border area for a few years. Or you can let Zhiyi get married and Zhiyan join the army. That way, even if someone comes to cause trouble for your family, it won't be too serious."
Xu Chengde was puzzled and said, "Even if Guaiguai gets married, she is still my daughter, Xu Chengde. What kind of solution is this?"
"This isn't a good idea, but it's not a bad one either. Hey, man, you're almost 60 now, and you've been through a lot over the past few years trying to settle down. You didn't have any chances of advancement before, and now that you're older, do you think you still have a chance of advancement?"
Zhiyi and Zhiyan are still young. If this revolution is truly serious, do you think you can protect them? Even if you sever ties with the An family, what will happen? Will they believe it? They'll have a million ways to prove your guilt.
If you go to the border area, not only will you have to endure hardships in the future, but you will also be worried. But if you let Zhiyi get married, someone will protect her and Zhiyan, and your Xu family will have someone to inherit you. You won't have to wait until Zhiyan establishes her own career and be left with no one to rely on.
"Brother, do you have a suitable candidate?"
"There is someone in our military academy who is really suitable." As he said that, the principal handed over Qin Zheng's information.
"Take a look. If you think it's okay, let Zhiyi go and meet him when the time comes."
"Okay, I get it. Let me think about it, bro."
The protagonist of this conversation, Xu Zhiyi, came back late because he had to perform an operation on his last-minute shift.
Xu Zhiyi dragged his heavy body back home and looked at Xu Chengde sitting on the sofa waiting for him. He said in surprise, "Dad, didn't I call? I have an extra surgery this afternoon, so I will be home a little later. You don't have to wait for me."
"Dad knows, Dad is worried."
Xu Chengde looked at Xu Zhiyi and asked worriedly, "My dear, are you tired?"
"Dad, do you have something to say to me?"
"Alas, I can't hide anything from you!" As he said that, Xu Chengde handed Qin Zheng's personal information to Xu Zhiyi.
"Good boy, take a look at this person's information."
Xu Zhiyi took it with a puzzled look and flipped through it. He looked at the photo in his hand. The man in the photo was handsome and valiant, with an upright posture and a resolute gaze. He was born to wear a military uniform, born to be a soldier. Looking through the photo, at his eyes, there was a charm that made one fall in love with him.
