Zhang Guoqing smiled noncommittally and patted his buddy on the shoulder. "Okay, I believe in you, don't I? Even if I don't have confidence in you, I have confidence in my wife."
"Can we still be buddies?"
"Of course, we're just close buddies." Zhang Guoqing shamelessly lit another cigarette for him. "Calm down. When you have a daughter, we'll be in-laws."
Yi Jiefang's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Uh, priority."
"Don't play tricks, let's just say this, I want us to be sons-in-law safely. I'll find a partner this year and have a baby next year."
Zhang Guoqing quickly slapped his mouth, making you feel guilty and say things without thinking.
Yi Jiefang laughed heartily. It was truly heartening. He turned around and told Zhou Jiao, "Will your wife punish you?" He'd heard from this buddy that his wife wouldn't allow their sons to arrange marriages if he let the cat out of the bag.
Zhang Guoqing punched him in anger. "She's due next year, and her wife is already in her mother-in-law's belly." However, if Yi Jiefang had a beautiful daughter, he would sincerely marry her, not for marriage or background, but simply because they'd shared similar personalities and interests over the years.
However, he also knew that this guy was similar to himself. Liking Ping An was one thing, but if he really had a daughter in the future, whether she should marry into his Zhang family was another matter.
Besides, his son Ping'an is almost ten years old. If they really want to get married, the age gap is too big. If you are interested, it would be more practical to do it on June 1st or 5th.
Ping An was staring at his brothers from a distance, completely unaware that he was almost sold out by his father, or that he had no idea where his future wife was.
"Xiao Wu, I'm lucky I went to college, otherwise I wouldn't have a friend like you, what a regret in my life. Especially now that there are so many demons rampant outside, it makes me feel much better to talk to you."
Isn’t it the same for Zhang Guoqing?
If Zhang Yuntao and Li Qinglin are good buddies who grew up together, they are still immature in their thinking and need his advice many times, but Yi Jiefang is different.
He and Yi Jiefang had many similarities in their thoughts, actions, and even their attitudes towards people and things. Rather than being good friends, they were closer to soulmates.
"This is fate for us."
The two of them smiled at each other. Some people are meant to be lifelong friends, the kind you could stand by each other's backs on the battlefield.
Yi Jiefang looked around and lowered his voice, "Are you still going out of town this month?"
Zhang Guoqing nodded in understanding, "I've already prepared food for ten people, so you don't have to go out this time."
"No, we're all brothers. I can't just do my best while you do it, and I run away. We should go together at the end of the month. Sigh... I wonder how they're doing now?"
Zhang Guoqing didn't refuse. This was truly a token of their love. They could send it all, no matter how much or how little. Who knew if those who had enjoyed such a good life would be able to handle it in the frontiers and rural areas?
"Given the current situation, there's no point in us worrying. Let's just do our bit first, and then see if there's a way to transfer them to somewhere with better conditions."
Yi Jiefang's playful smile faded, and he nodded gravely. It had only been a few years, and the brothers who had played and had fun together were now going their separate ways.
Now only they and Dayong are left. The rest are either jumping around like crazy or fighting for power and profit, but they don’t know how powerful they are now. If their fathers are defeated one day, they will not be much better off.
Is it good to live a stable life? Look at his classmates who have a job, a salary, and are living a stable life and are thankful to God. Why should he do that?
"Xiao Wu, let's send more for those girls this time. They are usually taken care of by their aunt at home. I don't know how they will suffer if they go out this time."
"Okay, you decide."
Yi Jiefang sighed, "Do you think they can receive the packages we sent? I've inquired about it, and if there were any valuables inside, they would have been searched and taken away."
Zhang Guoqing patted his shoulder comfortingly. There was nothing they could do about it. They couldn't go in person to visit. Not to mention whether they would be implicated, they were scattered all over the place. Who would have time for vacation?
"You have to think positively. I'm sure those guys have been dumbfounded for a while now. They must have been unable to sleep, just guessing who sent this package."
Yi Jiefang smiled when he heard this, "They should have guessed that, at least apart from you, no one would care about these guys who left the circle."
"Nonsense, aren't you one of them?"
"Hehe, we just need to do our best to live up to the crazy and noisy times we spent together. I'm just saying that. If you want them to appreciate it, you can do good things in secret."
"Yes, that's what I mean! We should be worthy of making friends with everyone. Even if we can't help them out of trouble, we should have a clear conscience."
"Xiao Wu, if one day I end up in the same situation as them, remember to send me some more dried meat..."
"Bah, bah, children's words are innocent." Zhang Guoqing hurriedly stopped him. Is that so easy to say? He punched Yi Jiefang in anger and said, "I'm here to hold you back even if I die."
Yi Jiefang laughed heartily and hugged him tightly. This sentence was enough for him to remember for the rest of his life!
A light bulb went off in Zhang Guoqing's head, "Dayi, you're not looking for a partner just because you're worried about this, right?" This is very possible. He still remembers that this guy was not so averse to blind dates at the beginning.
Yi Jiefang hesitated for a moment, "There's some of that, but more of it is that I haven't found the right person. She's not the kind of person you want to spend your life with."
"I look around, and they're all so fake. Those from better-off families are inevitably arrogant; those from less well-off families ask me if I'm level 22 now, and the first thing they say is salary; and then there are the naive ones, who are just like the infatuated ones you mentioned. They look at me like I'm pork belly, and their eyes are creepy."
Zhang Guoqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of people were these people? They scared his buddy to death. "How about you set a goal? First, you have to get a higher degree. It will be beneficial for your future children. Then, for safety's sake, narrow it down to military families. I remember your dad said he had some good comrades in arms."
Yi Jiefang shook his head. "Don't mention it. I've seen them all. They're either big and strong, or illiterate and can't even read a few words. They can't even pass my mother's test."
He hesitated for a moment, "There is one, but she's just like my sister, delicate and dainty. It's okay for her to be a sister, but not a wife. I'd have to treat her like a daughter."
Zhang Guoqing was speechless. What a fool! If a girl wasn't spoiled, she'd be better off marrying a man. He was so picky! He'd just open his eyes and see what kind of wife he could get in the future!
"Xiao Wu, I'm planning to find a military doctor. I think my brother Hu Niu's wife is pretty good. She's very independent, very intelligent, doesn't talk much, and won't cause any trouble."
Yi Huniu? Zhang Guoqing smiled meaningfully. "Okay, as long as you like it."
