Jiang Yonghua smiled. His eldest daughter was wise and decisive in major matters, but she didn't understand the procedures when it came to marriage.
This is no wonder. In the army, getting married is a very simple thing. You have an introducer, the organization's approval, apply for a dormitory, move your quilts together, give some candy to your comrades, and you are considered a family.
He was now a local resident and an ordinary citizen. Jiang Yonghua suddenly felt very ordinary, as if those sacred beliefs in the past had belonged to his comrades who were still in the army. And when it came to marrying off his daughter, he had to follow the path of ordinary people - although there wouldn't be a whole bunch of rules, but a meeting between the parents of both sides was still necessary.
He had just started to get closer to his two daughters, always thinking about making up for the lack of care he had shown for them in the past. He always felt that they were not old enough to get married. Alas, pretending to ignore the fact that his eldest daughter had already been noticed by someone else was simply like covering one's ears and stealing the bell!
Look at them, the snacks they brought are all extremely exquisite, and the boxes are all printed with the name of Daoxiangcun, so grand!
The father and daughter actually had the same idea: they both cherished their father-daughter relationship and felt that marriage was happening too quickly! It's just that one was expressing his own feelings and not wanting to get married, while the other was trying to appear reasonable against his will...
"Xiaojun, Chief of Staff Chen must have his reasons for coming to me so urgently. Dad has been in the army before, and I know he's not someone who acts impulsively. Even if you marry him in the future, you'll still be my daughter. You can come back for dinner anytime. How could Dad ever abandon you?"
Jiang Yun said coquettishly, "Then why did you accept his snack so quickly? Can't you refuse?"
Jiang Yonghua shook his head secretly. If he refused, his daughter would be furious. "Staff Officer Chen is a good person and excellent in all aspects. If you find him, Dad will be relieved."
Jiang Yun refused: "Dad, you agreed too quickly!"
Jiang Yonghua had no choice but to honestly take the blame thrown by his daughter: "Okay, okay, when I talk to him later, do you refuse again? I will tell him that if my daughter doesn't agree, I won't agree either. Do you think this is okay?"
Jiang Yun was speechless, realizing that he had fallen into the pit he had dug.
If she said she didn't agree, she would have brought him back herself. If she said she agreed, she would have blamed herself for agreeing so quickly!
If you think she agreed quickly, think about it carefully. She and Chen Yuanwu had been separated for several years, and when they met again, they kissed immediately, and she didn't refuse! She was the one who agreed the fastest!
It was as if she was bringing Chen Yuanwu here to force her father to agree that she must get married! Woohoo, how embarrassing!
Chen Yuanwu, carrying two military quilts and a military coat, stood in the outer room, listening to the conversation between the father and daughter with a mixture of laughter and tears. He gently stepped back to the door, then coughed heavily and said loudly at the door: "Xiaojun, the water is boiling. I'll make tea. You come and take over."
Jiang Jun jumped up in shock. Oh my god, could Chen Yuanwu have heard what she just said? Rushing to the outer room, she couldn't help but ask, "Old Wu, where did you get the quilt?"
Chen Yuanwu turned his head and coughed again: "I saw there were no cups, so I went to the car to get a mug and tea leaves. I also gave Uncle Jiang the new quilt and military coat I got."
He saw Jiang Yonghua coming and going in the military guesthouse. All he had in his hand was a small, flat bag, which was as simple as it could be. As soon as he returned to the equipment department, he hurried to pre-collect a quilt and a military coat for Jiang Yonghua.
Jiang Yonghua was very pleased with Chen Yuanwu's attentiveness. Although the quilts were not needed now, when the winter clothes distribution season came, many cadres would want to buy more quilts for their families when they saw that the new quilts were made of the new cotton of the year. At that time, the military service agency would often not be able to buy them even with cloth coupons.
It’s better to be a soldier. You are careful, considerate and thoughtful.
Jiang Yonghua didn't hesitate and took the quilt and military coat and put them in the cabinet, which was also empty.
Jiang Yun followed behind him with tears in his eyes: "Dad, I still have some money, you can use it to buy some clothes and furniture."
Jiang Yonghua waved his hand: "No, my salary will be paid in a few days. If I don't have enough money, I can go to the finance department to get an advance."
Now that life is stable, this family will be able to get back on track in no time.
"Dad, what job do you do now? How's the salary?" Jiang Jun just remembered to ask. She thought the Cultural Bureau was pretty good. The office environment was very quiet, there were green plants in the yard, and there were rare roses planted there. Even the old man guarding the gate spoke in an elegant and academic manner.
Jiang Yonghua scratched his head. "I'm the deputy chief of the Security Department. The salary is okay, based on my level of re-employment. Let's go sit outside and talk. Have some water. Are you hungry? The Cultural Bureau doesn't have a cafeteria, so we all get our meals at the cafeteria next door at the Commercial Bureau. Their steamed buns and cakes are especially delicious. I'll go get some food first. Otherwise, when we get off work soon, there will be a lot of people and the line will be long."
He was alone now, so he just had to eat something casually. The food allowance would not be collected until the day after tomorrow, and he hadn't bought rice, oil, or anything else at home yet. He just thought that Jiang Jun was going home, so he prepared some kitchen utensils in advance.
"Dad, I'll go."
"No, no, they recognize people and don't let outsiders in to get food."
Canteens in public institutions like this are employee benefits, and the unit subsidizes the food expenses. The Commercial Bureau is also a commodity supply and allocation unit, so the food is well-prepared and the variety is particularly rich.
Jiang Yonghua happily carried the small pot and bowl to get rice.
Chen Yuanwu looked at Jiang Jun and said, "Xiao Jun, ask Uncle Jiang if he needs anything later. I'll move a desk and two small sofas over first. Is that okay with you?"
Jiang Jun nodded and pointed to a corner of the living room: "If there is a camp bed, get one here."
The camp bed is sturdy and convenient. When not in use, you can lift up the bed board and dismantle the bed frame and put it in the inner room without taking up space.
Chen Yuanwu looked in the direction Jiang Yun pointed and asked, "Should we get a camp bed?"
Jiang Yun asked in surprise, "What do we need camp beds for?"
She hadn't even considered getting married; she still treated the marital apartment Chen Yuanwu had applied for as her own dorm. She wasn't married, so why would she need to entertain friends and relatives? At most, if He Xiangdong came to visit her, she could just sleep in the same room with him.
Chen Yuanwu didn't think so. Since Xiaojun didn't want a camp bed, it meant that they didn't have to sleep in separate beds!
Hehe, he must make the final decision and take down his future father-in-law immediately!
