When Jiang Xiaocheng heard Zhang Meihua's high evaluation of the soldiers, he immediately felt more favorable towards her.
"Of course, we get up at 5 o'clock every morning and do two hours of physical training every morning..." Jiang Xiaocheng picked out some trivial things in life and told Zhang Meihua.
Zhang Meihua listened with great interest, and expressed sincere emotion from time to time, saying that soldiers work so hard and are so great. Then, after hearing this, Jiang Xiaocheng spoke even more excitedly.
Jiang Shushu secretly glanced at Jiang Mingwen and saw that Jiang Mingwen was watching Zhang Meihua and Jiang Xiaocheng chatting with satisfaction. Jiang Shushu looked at Jiang Shan again, and Jiang Shan also had a look of satisfaction on his face.
Jiang Shushu looked at Jiang Xiaocheng and Zhang Meihua, and saw that they were getting along better and better as they talked. He thought that it seemed that Zhang Meihua would most likely become his niece-in-law.
While eating, Jiang Shushu silently observed Zhang Meihua. Until Jinhua brought in the dishes, Jiang Shushu did not notice anything wrong with Zhang Meihua.
A group of people sat down and looked at the table full of delicious dishes. Jiang Shushu was about to say a few words of praise, but before he opened his mouth, he heard Zhang Meihua's voice in his ears.
"It smells so good. I can tell it's delicious just by smelling it. Aunt Jin and Grandma Xu's cooking skills are definitely this good. This is definitely the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life." After saying this, Zhang Meihua stretched out her right hand, clenched her fist, and raised her thumb.
After hearing the praise, Jinhua and Xu Hehua immediately smiled and said, "I like it. Eat more later."
Jiang Shushu: "..." Zhang Meihua is such a good flatterer! You can't judge a person by his appearance.
Jinhua turned to Jiang Shushu and said, "Shushu, these dishes, stewed chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried pork, lemon duck, and sweet and sour fish, are made by my cousin's wife. You can try them later."
"Just by smelling this, I know it's delicious without even tasting it. Today I'm going to have these delicious dishes with three bowls of rice."
"Haha, I cooked a big pot of white rice. You can have as many bowls as you want. Just don't overeat."
…
The group of people finished their dinner happily. After dinner, they sat together and chatted for an hour. Of course, the most important thing was to watch and guide Zhang Meihua and Jiang Xiaocheng in chatting.
After a few hours of observation, Jiang Shushu discovered that Zhang Meihua was quite sincere towards Jiang Mingwen's family and that she really wanted to integrate into the Jiang family. Zhang Meihua had no ill intentions, and Jiang Mingwen's family liked her. Jiang Shushu decided to let things take their own course and not interfere in Zhang Meihua and Jiang Xiaocheng's affairs.
Jiang Xiaocheng was able to become a company commander at such a young age, so he must have his own ability to judge people. He would definitely know whether Zhang Meihua was suitable for him.
Jinhua called Jiang Shushu out under the pretext of pouring water.
"Shushu, although Xiaocheng and Meihua get along well, I haven't asked for their opinions individually, so I don't know their specific thoughts. It's dark now, so it's not convenient for Xiaocheng to take Meihua home. When you go back with your parents later, please help me take Meihua back to the Youth League Home. It's not safe for a girl to go alone at night.
"no problem."
"Thank you, Shushu."
Jiang Shushu thought of how Jiang Xiaocheng was plotted against in his previous life, so he immediately stopped Jinhua who wanted to leave and decided to take precautions and remind Jinhua.
"Cousin, my nephew is so well-off now that she's back. Hasn't anyone come to propose marriage?"
"Yes, two of them came to my house and told me about it, but I'm not satisfied with them. I think Meihua is great. Shushu, are you asking this because you think Meihua is not good enough? Or have you discovered something?" Jinhua frowned. Meihua had been observing her for months and she was quite nice. Could I have been wrong? That couldn't be possible! Even if I was wrong, it wouldn't be possible for such a whole family to be wrong!
"No, no, Meihua is fine. I just heard something a while ago and wanted to tell my cousin's wife to prevent Xiaocheng from being plotted against."
When Jinhua heard that her son was included, she immediately became nervous, her voice filled with anxiety, "What's the matter? Tell me."
"Cousin, you know I work in a state-owned restaurant, with a lot of people coming and going, and the thing I hear the most is gossip. I heard that last month, a soldier from the Huaxing Brigade came back on leave to visit his family, and he also came back for blind dates. I heard that he met several people, but unfortunately, he didn't like any of them. Then, a woman he was living with, unwilling to give up, jumped into the river when the soldier was passing by. The soldier couldn't bear to watch someone die in front of him, so he jumped in and rescued the woman. Then the woman's family blamed the soldier, insisting on proving her innocence and destroying her reputation. The woman cried, made a scene, and even tried to hang herself. In the end, the soldier had no choice but to marry the woman."
"Ah...isn't this just being a rogue? Saving someone has caused problems."
"Cousin, the world is so big and full of all kinds of things. There are always some people who want to get something for nothing. Why did that female comrade cling to that soldier? It was because she wanted the soldier's salary and wanted to live a good life. Xiaocheng is also a hot commodity now. He is a 22-year-old company commander and not many people know him. You'd better remind Xiaocheng to pay attention to his innocence and not let someone with ulterior motives ruin it. If you really marry a top-notch girl, it will really bring disaster to three generations of your family. Innocent is something that not only girls should pay attention to, but also good-looking and capable boys." As long as Jiang Xiaocheng doesn't fall into the trap, with the vision of their family, the wife/daughter-in-law they find will definitely be good.
Jinhua was stunned for a moment. She had never thought in her life that she would have to worry about her son's innocence, the innocence of such an old son.
"Okay." If I tell my sisters, I still have to worry about my son's innocence. Will my sisters, whose hair has turned white from worrying about finding a wife for their son, beat me?
When Jiang Shushu and his family returned, they took Zhang Meihua with them. They sent Zhang Meihua back to the Youth League Home before returning home.
As soon as Jiang Shushu and the others left, the remaining three elders immediately looked at Jiang Xiaocheng. Their bright and gossipy eyes made Jiang Xiaocheng feel helpless.
Jiang Xiaocheng picked up the water cup and took a sip to calm himself down, thinking about what to say.
Jinhua: "I just drank so much tea, you're not full yet. Hurry up, a grown man, why are you being so shy? How do you feel about Meihua? Do you like her? What do you think of her? Don't worry, your father, grandfather, or I are not unreasonable people. We will absolutely respect your choice."
Jiang Xiaocheng put down his water cup and said, "I feel pretty good. We can get along well. I have a good impression of her."
"So what do you think about being in a relationship with Meihua?"
"You can try to get to know her. Although my first impression of her is good, I don't know her well enough yet. If we're dating, we'll need to spend a few days together to know if we're a good match. I'm a soldier, so we're destined to be apart more often than not. I'm looking for a woman with a strong sense of responsibility and a strong character."
