"Auntie, I can manage the shop myself. Why don't you go back first?"
Upon seeing this, Xianglian immediately spoke up.
"No rush, it will take a while to cook at home. I'm worried about you being here alone. I haven't taken you home for a meal since you came. Let's go home together for a meal and get to know each other later."
Yang Yufen's hands didn't stop moving, the knife making a chopping sound on the cutting board.
"I... I guess I won't go. It would be too much trouble for you."
Xianglian immediately felt embarrassed.
“What trouble is there? It’s so close, you should at least know where your front door is.”
"That's right, if anything happens in the future, we can find them."
Aunt Wang also spoke up for them. After Shen Xianjun bought the groceries and took the child with him, the noodle shop started to get busy.
Liao Yuanjie rode his bicycle as fast as he could to the family compound.
"Dad, I've come to see you."
Commander Liao was leading a group of children in practicing military boxing when he was startled by the shout.
"Have you changed your ways today, kid?"
Commander Liao let the children practice on their own, and led Liao Yuanjie to sit down at a stone table to the side.
"You didn't do something wrong, did you? Otherwise, why are you acting so strangely today?"
As soon as he sat down, Commander Liao spoke, but in his heart he was wondering if his old bones were strong enough to clean up the mess his son had made.

"You've finally found love? Someone really likes you? And the girl is willing? What does she do? That's not important, as long as she's of good character. What are your requirements?"
Commander Liao became excited upon hearing this.
"His character is definitely impeccable. Not only is he good-looking, but he's also incredibly capable—a talent sought after by both the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Economic Affairs, right..."
Before Liao Yuanjie could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Commander Liao.
"What nonsense are you spouting? If there really were a girl like that, would you even have a chance? You're just messing with your old man. Go away, since you can't hold your grandson, don't come hanging around in front of me."
Commander Liao waved him away dismissively.
Liao Yuanjie blinked. The old man was a bit hard to fool. No, he absolutely couldn't miss today. If he didn't strike while the iron was hot, it would all be for nothing.
“It’s not that I don’t want to get married. There is indeed such a girl. You might even know her. Her name is Fan Juan. She went abroad to study with Comrade Qin Nian and came back. I took a liking to her at first sight. Today’s social gathering is hosted by Comrade Fan Juan.”
Liao Yuanjie quickly stated the key points first.
"Comrade Xiao Fan? Are you serious?"
Commander Liao stopped pushing the man.
"You really like her?"
