Mrs. Wen's heart moved, "Captain Li, Manman is studying at a university in Beijing now, right?"
Thanks to Xu Lei's boasting, all the cadres and their families above the regimental level in the military region knew that his niece had been admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University. Although those below the regimental level did not brag about it to their faces, they all knew what they needed to know.
Li Fang was still working through the list of single female soldiers in the art troupe. When she heard Sister Wen asking about her niece, she nodded subconsciously, "Well, it's summer vacation now, so let's bring the child over to stay for a while."
Mrs. Wen took a sip of herbal tea. She didn't know what it was made of, but it tasted sweet and refreshing. "How old is Manman now? Do you have a partner?"
Hearing this, Li Fang also realized her purpose and frowned. She didn't reply to her immediately. She turned her head to her niece who came out of the kitchen and said, "Manman, the sun is not so hot now. You should go to the beach to play with your brothers."
"Yeah." Xu Manman responded happily, said goodbye to the aunts, took her hat and coat and went out through the back door.
After everyone left, Li Fang looked at the person who had just asked the question and replied calmly, "Our daughter Manman has just started college. Both we and her parents hope that she will finish her studies first and not rush to find a partner. However, our eldest and second oldest children are not young anymore, so if there is a suitable match, we can help them keep an eye out for them."
Mrs. Wen was originally unhappy about Li Fang's move to ask Xu Manman to go out, but when she heard that she was going to find a partner for Xu Jianbing and Xu Jianjun, her face lit up.
Although the high-quality resource of Xu's niece cannot be obtained, Li Fang's two sons are not bad either. Not to mention that they are officers now, both are battalion commanders. Although their ranks are not high, they have a father who is a division commander.
Moreover, they took the military academy entrance exam this year. You can tell with your eyes closed that they have a bright future. In the past few years, there were people who had their eyes on them, but they were all rejected by themselves.
She could imagine how many prospective mothers-in-law with daughters would come to her if she spread Li Fang's words. She even had a long list of reserve candidates in her mind.
Not only Mrs. Wen, but several other Women's Federation cadres were also very excited. They pulled Li Fang aside to inquire about their requirements for their future daughter-in-law.
Li Fang originally threw her two sons out just to divert their attention from Xu Manman. Now, surrounded by their enthusiasm, she thought that her two sons were already grown up. If they were admitted to military academy, they would be together for another four years. After graduation, they would find wives. It would take an unknown amount of time for them to have a granddaughter.
If I can solve my personal problems as soon as possible, this date will be brought forward. Now I can't help but get serious.
"Actually, I don't have high requirements for my daughter-in-law. Lao Xu and I are not feudal patriarchs, so we have no requirements for family background, appearance, or education. The most important thing is that they like each other."
A short-haired woman nearby asked, "So what do they like?" She had worked with these two brothers before, and they always said there was no rush. Today, Li Fang finally said it herself. With their parents around, she didn't believe that the two brothers would not cooperate.
Li Fang thought about it for a moment, but couldn't come up with an idea. "I don't know either. How about calling them back and asking them yourselves?"
"Okay, call the person back." Mrs. Wen replied. She was not afraid of having demands, because having demands meant having a goal. What she feared most was having no demands.
Li Fang opened the back door and went out, calling out to Xu Manman, who hadn't gone far yet, "Manman! Manman!"
Xu Man turned around when he heard the voice and asked, "What's wrong, grandma?" Fearing that someone had something urgent to ask her, he ran back a few steps.
Li Fang waved her hand and said, "Don't run, be careful not to fall. Go and help Grandma call your eldest brother and second brother back!"
"Okay!" Xu Manman responded and turned around and ran back.
"Slow down! Don't fall, there's no rush." Li Fang looked at her running back and shouted worriedly.
When Xu Manman heard the sound, she slowed down her pace. She stopped running and started walking fast.
After a strenuous exercise, even with the thermostatic necklace on, Xu Manman was sweating profusely when she reached the beach.
Squinting his eyes, he found his target in the sea. Xu Manman opened his hands and put them to his mouth, "Big brother! Second brother! Grandma is calling you home!"
Hearing the noise, Xu Jianbing quickly swam ashore and asked, "What's wrong, Manman? What did my mother want us to do?"
"I don't know. I just told you to go back."
Xu Jianbing found a dry towel in the bucket of clothes nearby and wiped the seawater off his body. "Is anyone from home coming over?"
