After dinner, Jiang Yun rushed to wash the dishes and took one of Jiang Yonghua's shirts to wash.
She wanted to take this opportunity to observe what kind of people Jiang Yonghua's colleagues were at the public pool.
As soon as her footsteps disappeared outside the door, the conversation between the two men in the room began.
Chen Yuanwu was well prepared. He stood up, saluted Jiang Yonghua, and solemnly requested, "Uncle Jiang, I like Xiaojun very much. With my current ability, I can already give her a stable life. Please allow me to marry Xiaojun so that I can take good care of her."
Frankly speaking, Jiang Yonghua greatly appreciated Chen Yuanwu's direct and heartwarming words. These few words were a promise to both the Jiang family and Jiang Yun.
Given Chen Yuanwu's background and ability, he wanted to marry Jiang Jun and was so humble, which was a great respect for the Jiang family.
Jiang Yonghua has seen many similar situations in the army. Many people want to marry someone in a condescending manner, thinking that they are better than you and like you, so they are giving you face and you have to agree whether you agree or not.
Even though he was used to seeing life and death, Jiang Yonghua was still deeply moved by Chen Yuanwu's words. He couldn't help but feel tears welling up in his eyes: "Xiaojun is a good child. As a father, I haven't taken good care of her. I hope you can do better than me in the future."
In Jiang Yonghua's eyes, Jiang Yun's future was ruined by him, her father. If Jiang Yun had a good father, his life would definitely be much higher.
Chen Yuanwu was overjoyed to receive Jiang Yonghua's promise and immediately changed his tone: "Thank you, Dad. I've already submitted the marriage report and the dormitory will be approved soon."
Jiang Yonghua was shocked when he heard this. It turned out that this was a case of acting first and asking for permission later. "So soon? Xiaojun isn't even old enough to get married yet."
Chen Yuanwu immediately explained, "I'm going to be stationed abroad for a year and will be leaving the day after tomorrow. I applied for marriage just to give Xiaojun a place to live."
Jiang Yonghua understood that the living conditions in the Equipment Department were better than those in the Military Department. It seemed that this son-in-law really wanted to take good care of Xiaojun.
Unfortunately, Xiaojun was too young and too thin. If she got married, she might not be suitable for having children. Jiang Yonghua thought of the ethnic minorities in Chuncheng. Many local girls started getting married and having children at the age of fourteen or fifteen. How about he ask Zhao Meilan to send some secret herbal remedies or something?
Chen Yuanwu noticed Jiang Yonghua's hesitation and said, "Dad, I promised Xiaojun that she wouldn't have children until she was 22."
He called me "Dad" all the time, and it was so smooth.
Various guarantees are like reassurances.
Jiang Yonghua's last bit of worry was gone: "Sit down, Xiao Chen, you are also a good child. I am relieved to leave Xiaojun to you!"
Chen Yuanwu sat down and continued to promise earnestly: "Thank you, Dad! Xiaojun always says that your cooking is delicious. When I come back, I will definitely learn cooking skills from you. As long as I am at home, I will not let her cook."
Jiang Yonghua suddenly felt ashamed: "I have only been cooking for less than two years. Xiaojun has suffered a lot and been wronged by me. If I hadn't had any problems, hey!"
Otherwise, how could he be willing to agree to let Xiaojun get married at the age of 18? Fortunately, he has changed his career, otherwise people would really think he sold his daughter for fame and fortune.
Chen Yuanwu comforted him, "Dad, Xiaojun is very outstanding. I'm anxious to get married because I'm afraid that if I'm not around, she'll be snatched away by someone else. That's why I'm taking her home right now. I have to continue to learn from her in the future."
Jiang Yonghua sighed and looked at Chen Yuanwu with mixed feelings: "Little Chen, our Xiaojun is destined to be with you. You saved her life, so she should follow you! For this, our Jiang family will be grateful to you forever!"
Chen Yuanwu blushed: "I just hope that Xiaojun is interested in me, not in repaying me."
Jiang Yonghua shook his head: "Our Xiaojun is very discerning. If she agrees to marry you, you will definitely be right in the future."
Proposing marriage is a very cautious and grand matter, but Jiang Yonghua was not nervous at all. Instead, he felt happy for his eldest daughter.
The father-in-law and son-in-law complimented each other and smiled at each other.
Chen Yuanwu decided to be more modest: "Dad, please don't praise me all the time. I'm not the best yet. I need to keep working hard!"
Jiang Yonghua smiled and said, "After being with Xiaojun for a long time, I have learned to say good things about others. I don't know why it happened before, I just couldn't open my mouth."
Jiang Jun's voice rang out from outside the door: "Dad, what's the matter that you can't speak for?"
At the public pool, there were several middle-aged aunts who greeted her and asked her who she was.
When they heard she was Jiang Yonghua's daughter, they all suddenly realized: "Oh, she's the daughter of Deputy Section Chief Jiang who just retired from the army!"
Although these people were curious, they did not ask too many questions due to their social manners.
When she turned around and left with the basin, no one whispered behind her, and everyone continued chatting as usual.
Jiang Jun was very satisfied with this kind of living atmosphere. He planned to invite Meilan to live with him in the future. These neighbors would not say anything, at least not to her face.
In Jiang Yun's principle of life, as long as others don't dare to say bad things about you in front of you, it proves that you are not a bad person, or you are more powerful than him.
Jiang Yonghua didn't explain: "Xiaojun, how is it? Are you done with the inspection?"
This was a double entendre. Jiang Yonghua was asking about both his daughter's assessment of Chen Yuanwu and her recent assessment of his colleagues at work.
The three people present understood, but none of them said it out loud.
Jiang Jun smiled slightly: "Well, the inspection is completed, and I'm fully qualified!"
Jiang Yonghua felt relieved and wanted to pour some tea for Chen Yuanwu, but unfortunately there was nothing prepared at home, so he had to show his appreciation.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yonghua stood up and poured water for Chen Yuanwu. "Little Chen, my conditions are very simple, and I didn't treat you well today. The fried eggs were also served in the cafeteria. When you come back next time, I will personally make fried egg noodles for you."
Chen Yuanwu was secretly happy. His father-in-law agreed, and his wife also agreed. How could his life be so perfect?
After Jiang Yonghua refilled his tea, Chen Yuanwu immediately picked up the teacup with both hands and took a few big gulps to show his gratitude: "Dad, we are in a hurry, so we won't sit here for long. Don't worry, I will arrange Xiaojun's food, accommodation and work before I leave."
Jiang Jun repeated in surprise: "Dad?"
Are you calling me right now? Didn't you agree not to do it so quickly?
Jiang Yonghua pretended not to understand: "Xiao Chen, your work is important, so be careful on the road. Xiaojun, if you have arranged your work, please give me a call first. If you want to come back, give me a call first. It's a bit far from the station to my place, so I'll ride my bike to pick you up."
