Qingshan Brigade, where the educated youth are stationed.
Chu Jingqiu and the others had just returned from work. Lin Zishan had been busy in the infirmary all morning, so she came back early.
When the two came back, she had already prepared the meal.
As the weather gradually warmed up, the three of them made pickled meat from the raw meat in the jar. She made pickled meat noodles for lunch today.
While Chu Jingqiu was eating, she heard Jiang Jiang say in her mind, "Qiuqiu, Grandpa has successfully made Captain Xiao drink the surveillance capsule. I can already hear his voice. They are also planning to eat."
A smile spread across Chu Jingqiu's face. She spoke consciously, "That's great. I've been working hard these days, Jiang Jiang. Pay attention to monitoring any useful information."
-------------
Beijing City, Xiao family.
The food on the table was already prepared, and each dish exuded an enticing aroma. Today's dishes were particularly sumptuous, and Xiao Yihan had specially bought roast duck and braised pork from outside.
The kitchen at home also carefully prepares a variety of delicious dishes such as braised fish, lamb stewed with radish, mustard dumplings, cold shredded chicken, hot and sour bean sprouts, etc.
After three rounds of drinks, everyone started to speak freely.
Grandpa Xiao looked at Grandpa He with a flattering expression and said, "Old He, I plan to find someone to find a date for Yihan and Xiaoqiu in the next few days. After Xiaoqiu's birthday, I will arrange their wedding. What do you think?"
Without a second thought, Mr. He said cheerfully, "I think it's a good idea. You can find someone to take a look! I've already prepared a lot of good wood. We'll start making furniture for them in a few days."
Grandpa Xiao looked at Old Man Xiao in disbelief. He opened his mouth and took a long time to utter a word, "Old He, I thought you were going to refuse to agree again and make me waste my breath.
I've prepared so many reasons to persuade you, but I didn't expect you to be so straightforward. Hahaha, it's really rare...!"
Grandma Xiao also smiled from ear to ear, "I told Lao Xiao last night that if you don't agree, I will persuade Peilan. I will start with Peilan. Peilan said that she missed Xiaoqiu all day long, so she will definitely agree.
I didn't expect Lao He to be so straightforward. It was beyond my expectation."
Li Peilan also felt that Lao He was a little abnormal today. As a woman, she should have behaved more reservedly. However, Lao He agreed without hesitation.
In fact, she also wanted Xiaoqiu to come back quickly, but since Lao He had already agreed, she couldn't say anything more.
He explained with a smile: "Old He missed Xiao Qiu so much that he couldn't bear it. Even though he couldn't bear to let her go, there was nothing he could do."
Mr. He glanced at Xiao Yihan kindly and said softly, "The children are grown up now, they can make their own decisions.
I particularly like Yi Han. If he gets married early, I will have another grandson and my family will be more lively. Thinking about it this way, there is nothing wrong with Xiao Qiu and Yi Han getting married early.
Once Xiaoqiu gets married, she'll be able to come back from Northern Province, and we old couple will be able to see her every day. This is a good thing, and I support it."
Xiao Yutao was also very happy. He raised his glass and said, "Uncle He, I'll toast you. I'll go visit Baichuan and his wife someday to sort out the matter between the two families."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Xiao Yihan, "Yihan, quickly toast your Grandpa He with a glass of wine to thank him for agreeing to let you and Xiaoqiu get married."
Xiao Yihan picked up the wine glass and said solemnly, "Grandpa He, I offer you a glass of wine. Please rest assured that if you marry Xiaoqiu to me, I will be devoted to her and make her happy for the rest of her life!"
After Mr. He and his father finished their drinks, Xiao Yihan picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Grandma Xiao glanced at Qi Yue next to her, smiled and said to Xiao Yumin: "Xiao Min, Yihan's lifelong event has finally been resolved.
Next up is Xiaoyue's turn. I heard from your Aunt Zhang next door that Teacher Han introduced Xiaoyue to someone a few days ago. How's things going between them?
Qi Yue's hand, which was chewing on a chicken leg, trembled. He hurriedly looked at Grandma Xiao and said, "Grandma, that woman is not good. She is not suitable for me. Please don't mention it."
Grandma Xiao asked in confusion: "Why is it bad? I asked around and found out that the girl's father works at the Ministry of Transport and lives in the same compound as you.
I heard the girl is pretty, and I think they're a good match."
Xiao Yumin glanced at Grandma Xiao with a strange expression, then secretly glanced at Commander Xiao, opened his mouth but said nothing.
Li Peilan asked suspiciously, "Xiao Min, do you have anything to say?"
Xiao Yumin's eyes flashed, and she stole another glance at Old Man Xiao.
Old Master Xiao rolled his eyes at her and said, "Xiao Min, I'm not a big tiger. Seeing you acting so cautiously, just say whatever you want to say! I won't eat you."
Xiao Yumin coughed lightly and mustered up the courage to say, "Dad, let's make a deal. If I tell you, you can't scold me."
Old Master Xiao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, our family is democratic. I won't scold you. Just tell me quickly."
Xiao Yumin said cautiously: "The girl from the Yue family has been suffering from a strange disease these days. She has a body odor and her hair has fallen out.
His face suddenly looked ten years older, with wrinkles all over his face when he smiled, and his skin was as dark as if it was covered with soy sauce.
My neighbor Aunt Wang said that she was possessed by a ghost.”
Commander Xiao glared at her, "What the hell, Xiao Min, how could you believe in such feudal superstition?
I tell you, you can just say this at home, but don’t go out and tell anyone else about it.
In this era, you must be careful with your words and actions. Just listen to what others say and don't interrupt. Do you understand? "
Xiao Yumin pouted, "Dad, you just said you wouldn't scold me, but I just said one sentence and you started scolding me again."
