Jiang Jun leisurely ate the loving midnight snack and listened to Jiang Lan excitedly talking about how wonderful the art troupe's performance was and how popular Teacher Cheng's singing was.
"Sister, it's a shame you didn't go to the show!"
"When you join the art troupe, I can visit you often!"
"No problem! Sister, I'll take you backstage to see it then!"
"Almost there, our dad will be here soon."
“Really?! That’s great, ahhh…!”
Unlike the cheerful Jiang sisters, the Chen family's family meeting ended in a bad mood after only half an hour because the mother and son held different opinions.
Chen Zhong and Chen Yuanwu stayed in the study to continue discussing work.
Seeing his son still looking distressed, Chen Zhong could only speak out: "Xiao Wu, you insisted on your opinion today, so I commend you! But I also want to criticize your attitude towards your mother!"
Chen Yuanwu scratched his head vigorously. "I've always listened to my mom since I was little, but this time, I'm sticking to my own opinion. Whenever Xiaojun is mentioned, my mom won't budge. So what do you think I should do?"
Chen Zhong smiled smugly, "You have to learn this from your father! When you get married in the future, you must remember not to try to bring two conflicting women together to bring them together. This is the most laborious and undesirable thing to do. They will both stab you with their spears at the same time! So it's best to prevent them from meeting each other!"
Also, you must never mention another woman's merits in front of a woman! Otherwise, she won't hate that person, she will hate you!"
Chen Yuanwu was stunned: "So the more I praised Xiaojun, the angrier my mother became!"
Chen Zhong laughed: "Of course!"
Chen Yuanwu was depressed: "What should I do? My mother and Xiaojun can't live without seeing each other for the rest of their lives, right? They should sit at the same table for dinner, right?"
Chen Zhong advised, "Let Xiaojun handle it! I saw she handled it well this afternoon. She didn't get angry with your mother, and she didn't put you in a difficult position either. Such a smart girl is hard to find even with a lantern! You have to keep a close eye on her, don't let anyone chase her away!"
People often went to the guesthouse to ask whose daughter Jiang Yun was, but they stopped asking when they heard that it was arranged by Deputy Commander Chen himself.
Of course, Chen Yuanwu also wanted to keep a closer eye on Jiang Jun: "Dad, Xiaojun is only eighteen years old. I can't file a marriage report right now."
Chen Zhong snorted, "Xiao Wu, why didn't you just follow me? If I were as slow as you are, you would be thirteen at most now!"
Without waiting for his son to laugh, Chen Zhong stood up and said, "Alright, I have to go with your mother. Remember, if you want to win a battle, you must cooperate and never start a fight!"
As a father, I can only give you so much advice!
As Chen Zhong expected, Chen Jing did not feel any serious sense of crisis when she saw how much her mother hated Jiang Jun becoming her sister-in-law. She chatted with Ye Qingyin about Jiang Jun's bad words for a while, complained for a while, and then went back to her room. Her mind quickly turned to Cheng Dawei's singing.
Ye Qingyin felt uncomfortable in her heart and could not lie flat. She half leaned on the bed and felt extremely uncomfortable - her husband did not stand on her side in her son's marriage, her son insisted on his own opinion, her daughter was not willing to speak to her, and the nanny did not come with her. There was no one to ask about her well-being - this day was simply not going well!
As soon as Chen Zhongyi came over, Ye Qingyin began to cry: "This family is becoming more and more troublesome! When we were young, we had to accommodate you, and now we are old and have to accommodate the children!"
Chen Zhong said earnestly, "Xiao Wu is not young anymore. It's time for him to have his own opinions! Otherwise, he won't be able to stay in this position for long."
Ye Qingyin blew her nose: "I'm just worried that he's too young and impulsive, and might get carried away by a ghost, and then it would be too late to regret it."
Chen Zhong consoled him, "You don't know Xiao Wu's temperament yet. He's young, but he's definitely not impulsive! Every time the commander sees me, he praises him, saying he's thoughtful and thorough, and a prime candidate for training!"
I think you should just ignore their business. Look at you lying here in anger. If your family is happy one day, then all your anger will be in vain, right? "
Ye Qingyin was about to get angry, but then she covered her chest in pain: "I think I gave birth to a son in vain!"
Chen Zhong sat down beside the bed and calmed Ye Qingyin down, "Sons and girls grow up, and they are no longer under the control of their parents! If your body can't take it anymore, I think you should just retire early due to illness and live here. You can come and look after me every day, okay?"
Ye Qingyin said angrily, "When did you let me take care of the child? You told me not to take care of the child all day long. I can't take care of anyone in this family except Sister Liu. Sigh... Old Chen, ask Xiao Ding to go to the guesthouse early tomorrow morning to call Xiaohui over. None of you can talk as well as Xiaohui."
Mo Xiaohui, who Ye Qingyin was counting on to comfort her, was lying on the bed with a lot on her mind, tossing and turning.
The fear that her lie would be exposed made Mo Xiaohui feel ashamed to face people.
After daydreaming all night, Mo Xiaohui hurriedly left the guesthouse at dawn and took a ride back to the capital on the military logistics service.
Jiang Jun slept until he woke up naturally. Jiang Lan had already run to the art troupe to watch others do morning exercises.
She got up and stretched, then heard a knock on the door. Thinking it was Mo Xiaohui looking for her, she opened the door while covering her mouth and yawning.
Jiang Yonghua, dusty and exhausted, stood at the door carrying a small travel bag, his face looking a little haggard: "Xiaojun!"
Jiang Jun suddenly woke up from his sleepiness, rushed over and grabbed Jiang Yonghua's arm, laughing and shouting: "Dad, you're here! Dad, Dad..."
After shouting twice, his eyes turned red.
Jiang Yonghua looked at his daughter, whom he hadn't seen for several months, and suppressed his excitement: "Xiaojun, the waiter said you'll be staying in this room. I'll put your luggage here first while I go wash and change clothes. When it's time to go to work, I'll go find the commander."
Jiang Jun quickly let go of her hand and turned to get the toiletries: "The toothpaste and toothbrush are all new, and the towel is new too. This is the newly bought soap, which I saved especially for you."
Ever since Chen Zhong told her that Jiang Yonghua's appeal materials were likely to be approved, Jiang Jun bought Jiang Yonghua a whole set of new supplies. She hoped that as soon as her father returned to the army, he would be able to live a brand new life.
Jiang Yonghua went into the room to see: "Where's Xiaolan?"
Jiang Jun patted his forehead. "She's been spending every day in the art troupe now. When she comes back, she walks like she's dancing and talks like she's singing. Just wait, when Xiaolan comes back and sees you, she'll definitely sing and dance for you all the songs and dances she's learned!"
Jiang Yonghua was very relieved. As long as his two daughters looked safe and happy, that was enough. "I'll go wash up. We'll go have breakfast later."
Chen Yuanwu watched Jiang Yonghua enter the bathroom, then pushed the door open and entered Jiang Yun's room. He hugged Jiang Yun, who was standing in a daze in the middle of the room, and kissed her. "Xiaojun, I just saw Uncle Jiang! I have to go back to work now. I'll come find you after work!"
