"Yes, yes, okay," Sheng Liancheng hurriedly replied.
This was the first meeting between the Sheng family and the Wu family. At first, Sheng Liancheng was a little nervous, but after chatting for a while, he gradually relaxed and became less reserved.
Sheng Liancheng and Wu Bingzhong were having a good chat, while Zhang Shuzhen and Yu Wenlan were also chatting and laughing.
Wu Bingyi's wife, Zhao Wanyue, was also talking to Zhang Shuzhen. When she saw that it was almost time, she took the opportunity to go out and instructed the nanny to prepare dinner.
As everyone was chatting animatedly, they suddenly heard a strong, resonant voice coming from outside.
"I heard that kid Xiping is here? Where is he?" Without a doubt, the owner of this voice was Old Wu.
Upon hearing the sound, everyone in the reception room stood up, and then a sprightly old man in a military green uniform walked in from outside.
Two guards and a physician followed closely behind him.
"Grandpa." Sheng Xiping took two steps forward, smiling as he went to help Old Wu. "Grandpa, what have you been doing?"
"Well, I was invited to some kind of tea party. It was just a bunch of old guys getting together to drink tea and chat."
Old Wu had a ruddy complexion and a loud voice.
If I hadn't witnessed his illness before, I would never have been able to connect the person in front of me with the elderly man who was sitting in a wheelchair, unable to move or speak.
Anyone who can have tea and chat with Old Wu is definitely not an ordinary person. Sheng Xiping didn't ask any further questions, but simply helped Old Wu to sit down in a chair.
"Grandpa, this is my father, this is my mother, and these are my two younger sisters."
"We're going back to our hometown this time. We're changing trains in the capital, so we thought we'd stop by to visit Grandpa." Sheng Xiping quickly introduced his family to Grandpa Wu.
Sheng Liancheng led his wife and daughters forward to pay their respects to Old Wu.
"Old hero, old commander, I heard about your deeds from Brother Liu, I admire you so much," Sheng Liancheng said excitedly to Old Wu.
"Well, that's all in the past, not worth mentioning." The old man smiled and waved his hand, gesturing for Sheng Liancheng to sit down next to him.
“Nephew, you have raised several good children, all of whom are promising and have a bright future.”
You two are remarkable; you're insightful and have great vision. You're destined for a blessed future.
The old man looked at Sheng Xiping, then at Sheng Xikang, and sighed.
“My wife and I are illiterate, how would we know anything about raising children?” Sheng Liancheng shook his head with a smile.
“Life was tough in the past. I had many children at home, and I was busy working to earn money to support my family. I would be away on duty in the mountains for more than half a year at a time.”
My wife is busy taking care of six children every day, she's always running around like crazy. How would we know anything about educating children?
This is all thanks to the new society; children have books to read and can take the college entrance examination to change their destiny.
Ultimately, it all comes down to being lucky enough to have the right timing and the good policies of the country.
"Without heroes like our old commander who fought and bled, how could they enjoy such a good life today? In the end, the people we should be most grateful to are the older generation."
Sheng Liancheng's words really struck a chord with Old Wu.
What were they risking their lives, fighting through gunfire and bloodshed, all for? Wasn't it so that their descendants would no longer be oppressed and enslaved, and could live a good life?
"Good, good, nephew, you're absolutely right. With your level of understanding, how could your child not amount to anything? Good, very good."
Mr. Wu nodded approvingly and praised him repeatedly.
From Sheng Liancheng's words, one can tell that the Sheng family has a very upright family tradition and a high level of awareness. Marrying into such a family would certainly not be a mistake.
For a family like the Wu family, the marriage partner doesn't necessarily have to be extremely wealthy, but their character and family values must be upright.
