"So old-fashioned! Who says getting married and having children are compulsory?" An Huan applied skincare products to her face and glanced at Xiao Zheng with disdain.
"Wife, you can't be so indulgent to your child in such important matters! How can she understand these things? She will be alone when she is old, and she will regret it sooner or later. You will feel sad when you see it from the bottom of your heart." Xiao Zheng still tried to persuade his wife.
"First of all, Siqi didn't say she would never get married. She just hasn't met someone she wants to marry yet. Maybe if she meets someone tomorrow, she'll want to get married tomorrow. I just don't want to push her into getting married just for the sake of getting married. If I end up creating a couple that's unhappy with each other, that would be harmful to her.
Secondly, even if Siqi really doesn't marry for the rest of her life, she might regret it when she's old, as you said. But if she marries to avoid regrets later, won't that lead to another kind of regret?
Xiao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and only realized after a while, "That is to say, Siqi doesn't plan to be single for life, but just doesn't have anyone she likes, right?"
An Huan: "I guess so."
Xiao Zheng asked, "What kind does she like? Let's find one for her."
An Huan thought for a moment and said, "It should be someone like Gu Lin."
Xiao Zheng: "That won't do! That guy is a coward. He doesn't even have the courage to live off his wife!"
An Huan laughed and said, "You were so cautious, afraid he would even step foot into your house."
"I was just worried he had bad intentions! If his starting point was really Siqi herself, I'm not someone who cares about family background. Didn't I come from a humble background myself? I haven't forgotten my roots!"
As he spoke, Xiao Zheng seemed to be lost in thought.
"It seems that without my help, Siqi's lifelong event will be impossible to resolve. Wife, you don't object to my intervention, right?"
An Huan glanced at him and reminded him, "As long as you don't use your parental authority to force her, I don't care how you help her."
"It's settled!"

"After the big exercise in the second half of the year, you talked to me about a logistics issue. Remember?"
Siqi was stunned. She thought her father called her over to urge her to get married again.
After a moment of pause, she quickly reacted. "Yes, I remember saying at the time that I felt our military's logistics support was too complex and rigid. Not only were the navy, army, and air force each operating independently, but even the Air Force and Army had separate support systems. This prevented us from being efficient and flexible at critical moments."
"Take a look at this report."
Siqi took the paper Xiao Zheng handed over and read it carefully. "Jointly implement logistical support for all branches of the military..."
The more she looked, the brighter her eyes became.
"Who wrote this report? Not only does it raise comprehensive issues, but it also clearly outlines the solutions. He's quite talented."
"Don't worry about who wrote it."
"Still keeping us in suspense..." Siqi asked, "I believe the logistical support issues aren't just noticed by me and the person who wrote the report. Does this mean we need to implement some reforms?"
Xiao Zheng said solemnly, "Of course we have to change. The world is constantly changing, the country is developing, and the military must adapt. So we have to keep changing, keep changing."
Siqi thought to herself that although her father was a bit stubborn and feudal in his youth, he was still very enterprising and kept up with the times in his work. Otherwise, he would not have been in this position.
Siqi was still curious, "Dad, who wrote this report?"
Xiao Zheng glanced at his daughter and said, "No one, just a small army captain."
"A mere army captain could have handed the report to you?"
Xiao Zheng waved his hand, unwilling to say anything more, and drove his daughter out.
Siqi had no choice but to leave first.
Walking downstairs, An Hua was telling Yang Tao, "We need one more person in our family on New Year's Eve..."
"One more person?" Si Qi heard and asked, "Who? Who wants to come to our house?"
An Huan said, "Your dad asked your dad to take care of the son of an old comrade of yours, so he invited him to his home for a visit."
The old comrade is Xu Kun, and the one who is coming to spend the day at home is Xu Chengzhi.
An Huan knew what Xiao Zheng was up to. He just wanted to use this as an excuse to arrange a blind date for Si Qi.
An Hua was wondering if Xiao Zheng disliked Xu Chengzhi's appearance. But Xiao Zheng said that he had met Xu Chengzhi and found him to be much better looking than he had imagined. His face was round and handsome, and he had not inherited Xu Kun's slender face at all.
An Huan expressed her doubts, suspecting that Xiao Zheng just pulled Xu Chengzhi out casually just to get Siqi married. After all, there are not many people who are well-matched, excellent in both personalities and age.
But it was soon confirmed that An Hua was wrong.
Xu Chengzhi...is indeed good-looking.
An Huan stared at the young man who walked in without blinking.
Xu Chengzhi wore a cadre coat, his belt neatly buckled, and stood tall and straight. His features were handsome yet cold, and when he was silent, he had an aura that kept people away.
However, after speaking, he was polite and humble, which easily won the favor of the elders.
At least, An Huan immediately fell in love with this young man.
She glanced at Xiao Zheng and expressed her affirmation with her eyes.
Xiao Zheng curled the corners of his mouth, hinting at pride. He had very high standards. How could ordinary people catch his eye?
However, An Huan was not overly enthusiastic and only treated Xu Chengzhi as an ordinary junior.
Being nice is useless. Shen Hao is also good. Siqi doesn't like it, so she doesn't like it. Moreover, we can't just consider Siqi's perspective. Xu Chengzhi also has his own ideas. He is not a big vegetable lying on the vegetable stall for you to pick.
It takes two people falling in love to have a happy ending.
