"Hmm," Wang Jun nodded, "We've already started assembling and are getting ready to eat."
As he spoke, he pointed in another direction and said, "There's another unit temporarily staying here. Do you know what they do? Let me remind you, there's an old acquaintance of yours there."
? ? ?
How is he supposed to guess what's going on with this all so vaguely?
But an old acquaintance? He doesn't know many people in the field army, could it be...?
In a flash, Li Chu realized something and said hesitantly, "The old acquaintance you're talking about wouldn't happen to be Shen Jun, would it?"
"Wow, that's a quick reaction!"
"It's not that I'm quick-witted, I don't know many people in the field army, what's he doing here?"
As soon as he asked the question, Li Chu slapped his forehead: "I was stupid. Were their troops here to participate in the parade? Why did they come here to train beforehand?"
"That's right, I just arrived at the beginning of the month. I'll take you to see it after we finish eating."
“Sure, it’s been a while since I’ve seen him.”
As he spoke, Li Chu couldn't help but chuckle; both of his in-laws had gathered together today.
Following Wang Jun to the canteen, field troops don't distinguish between large and small canteens.
Although the canteens of each company are separate, the food served in all canteens from top to bottom is the same for every meal.
Even if there are differences, they are only in taste; there won't be a situation where one side has meat and the other side doesn't.
Today, because of Li Chu's arrival, Wang Jun made an exception; he usually only comes to the canteen when he hears the bugle call.
After getting their food, the two of them went behind a screen together.
This is probably the only difference between these brigade commanders and other officers.
"Tell me, what's all this secrecy about?"
After sitting down, Wang Jun couldn't wait to ask the question.
"I've come to propose marriage."
A seemingly casual remark nearly made Wang Jun choke on his food.
"Cough cough cough..." After finally swallowing the food in his mouth, Wang Jun glared at Li Chu: "What's wrong with you? Who are you proposing marriage to?"
"Who do you think I should propose marriage to if I come to you?"
"I..." Wang Jun was about to say something when he suddenly realized something.
"You mean you want Wenxuan and Yueyue to get married?"
"That's obvious, I don't have a second son, and you don't have a second daughter."
"Hey, is this some kind of marriage proposal? I feel like I owe you something."
"Just tell me if you agree or not?"
"Wait a minute, I'm still confused here. What do you mean? Didn't we agree to wait until Wenxuan graduates? He's a student now, how can he get married?"
"You don't know?" Li Chu looked up and asked, somewhat puzzled.
"What should I know?" Wang Jun was even more confused now. He felt like he had missed out on a fortune in just a short time since he last went back.
"Didn't Qiaoyun tell you when she came over a few days ago?"
"No, she didn't say anything when she came over last week. What's wrong? Didn't the two kids go to Dongshan to play?"
"Wenxuan's enlistment procedures have all been completed. Didn't Qiaoyun tell you when she came over?"
"Enlisted? Wenxuan? When did this happen?"
Well, things have gone in opposite directions.
"Sigh, Qiaoyun probably forgot to tell you."
Then, Li Chu explained why he was in such a hurry to process Wenxuan's enlistment.
"So, Wenxuan is now a military doctor?" Wang Jun asked in surprise.
"Yes, but he still needs to continue learning from me for four more years."
"I know that, isn't it just that you want him to take over your job?" Wang Jun waved his hand dismissively.
"But why are you in such a hurry to get the two children married? You can't even wait for me to go back, and you still have to rush here."
"Ahem..." Now it was Li Chu's turn to feel a little embarrassed. His son had done such a terrible thing, and he, as his father, had to clean up the mess.
"this……"
"What's wrong, Li Chu? What happened? When did you become so fussy?"
"Oh dear, the two kids went out to play together this time, and I couldn't resist, so they ended up staying in the same room."
With a "clatter," Wang Jun's hand trembled, and the lunchbox he was holding fell onto the table. Fortunately, the lunchbox didn't fall over, and the food was still edible.
"Li Chu, what's your explanation? Are you saying your son... you mean..."
Holy crap, this really scared Li Chu. He dropped the chopsticks in his hand and rushed over to cover Wang Jun's mouth.
"Are you crazy? Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you afraid others won't know?"
Wang Jun then realized that he had been a bit too excited, and nodded, indicating that he could let go.
"Where is that brat Wenxuan?"
"I'm at home."
Why doesn't he come over himself?
"I came here to discuss their marriage. Why did you bring him here? If you want to deal with him, do it when you get back."
"Don't you feel bad if I punish him? He's your son."
"Why should I feel sorry for the bastard he did? If there weren't so many people at home today, and you didn't have to clean up, I would have hung him up and whipped him with a belt."
"Hey, that's my son-in-law. You want to hang him up and whip him? What if he causes any problems?"
“That’s my son. Is it wrong for me to beat him up if he makes a mistake?”
"He's still my son-in-law. What if you hurt my daughter?"
"Alright, let's not argue about this anymore." Li Chu looked at Wang Jun and continued, "The two kids are immature, and we as parents can't make a mistake. Let's get their marriage arranged as soon as possible."
"Sigh," Wang Jun sighed, took a couple more bites of rice, and then nodded: "We need to hurry. You know Yueyue's birth date and time. Go back and find someone to calculate the auspicious dates for the two children."
"I've already calculated it. The 22nd of next month, which is the 26th of the seventh lunar month."
"You're moving pretty fast, huh? There's still a month left, isn't that a bit too tight?"
“It’s basically all ready-made, and we don’t lack anything. I plan to put the restaurant at Xu Damao’s place.”
Wang Jun nodded slightly. He knew that given the circumstances of their two families, it was really not appropriate to hold a large celebration.
Did you tell Qiaoyun?
"No, as soon as I heard about it this morning, I came here immediately."
Wang Jun nodded slowly, thought for a moment and said, "I have no objection, but I need to talk to Wenxuan first."
"That's a must. Don't give me any face. Just don't kill him. If you cripple him, I'll take care of him for the rest of my life."
These words made Wang Jun laugh in anger.
"After all these years, how come I never realized you were still a scoundrel!"
Li Chu took a bite of food, then looked up at Wang Jun very seriously.
