"That's good. This is no small matter. It's best if our Shen family doesn't get involved."
"Dad, my in-laws also said that they don't plan to..."
"It would be wise to ignore it. At this time, we can hardly protect ourselves, let alone have the leisure to do so."
You guys should remember this: these days, no matter who comes to your house for help, make an excuse to turn them down!
Think not only of yourself, but also of the next generation in your family.
Three generations of our Shen family have served in the military, and we're sure that some of the younger generation in the family will also join the military in the future.
It's better to leave this relationship to them. Although saying this sounds selfish, who isn't selfish? What parent doesn't think about their own child?
"Dad, we know, don't worry! I've already retired, so even if they come to me, they can't say anything."
"It's so much easier for my older brother. I can forget about it. The reason I was able to come back this time is because I haven't seen my parents for a long time. Otherwise, the higher-ups wouldn't have agreed."
"Fourth brother, this is the most dangerous time for you, especially since you're leading troops in the southwest. Unless it's something very important, try not to go home for now."
"Dad, don't worry! I'll probably only come back to see you when I'm on a business trip here."
Even if you wanted me to stay home a few more days, I'm afraid that wouldn't be possible.
"The southwest region hasn't been very peaceful lately, so it's better to spend our time on that."
Your mother and I are in good health; we don't need you to take care of us right now.
"Old man, what about the girls they're dating? What if they end up together?"
"Our Shen family will not betray others. As long as the other party has no problems, it's fine."
However, if there are any problems, the Shen family absolutely does not need him to enter the family.
If you don't listen, then we'll leave together, and this person will no longer be recorded in the Shen family genealogy.
"Dad, you're worrying too much. Neither of our two sons has a crush on anyone yet."
The situation has been unusual lately, so I don't plan to rush them.
"Are you stupid?! How old are your two kids? Why aren't you urging them to settle their personal lives? You're just indulging them."
"Mom, what are you doing? You're so old, and you still beat your son like that."
Your son is someone who commands tens of thousands of soldiers.
Besides, I'm already quite old. Not to mention my son isn't married yet, I already have several nephews and grandnephews.
How could you just hit him like that? Didn't you even consider your son's feelings?
"You still care about saving face? How old is your son? What kind of father are you?"
Since they don't care about their child's future marriage.
"Mom! I..."
"Alright, fourth brother, sit down quietly. Mom, don't be angry. As for your two sons, they're really not that old. Our two sons aren't married yet, are they?"
"But they all already have partners, right? How can they compare to the fourth brother's family?"
"Mom, that's easy. If you know someone suitable, just introduce them to me."
“I’m not going to be the bad guy. This hasn’t even happened yet! They don’t even come back to see their old woman all year round. If I arrange blind dates for them, I’m afraid they might not come back even once in three years!”
"That's true, let's do it! Lao Ba is serving in the army in Jinan. I'll check with my student there later. If he doesn't have a girlfriend, I'll try to find someone to match him up and see if it works out."
As for Xiao Shi, he's still young; we can wait two more years.
"What are you waiting for? He's in the Northwest, and even if you wait another two years, he won't be transferred back. If you find a suitable candidate now, you should introduce him to someone quickly."
"Mom, how about I introduce someone to Xiao Shi?"
"Sister-in-law, do you have someone in mind?"
“I have a colleague whose daughter lives in the Northwest.”
What kind of work do you do?
"They are also engaged in scientific research."
"How old is he?"
"Not much, the same age as Xiao Shi. Her daughter has always been a good student, just like the other kids in our family. She just graduated with a master's degree this year and went straight to the Northwest."
"Is he also a soldier?"
"Yes, the military's research personnel."
"That's great! But it all depends on whether this kid has the ability."
"Regardless of their abilities, let's try to connect them first, otherwise how will we know if they're a good match?"
"I've figured it out. If you were to find a wife for your son on your own, who knows when you'd ever get one?"
"Mom, why are you bringing this up again?"
"Look, not only are my second sister's two nephews still unmarried, but even my third brother's son, Hongyu, isn't married yet, is he?"
"They're not married yet, but they have a boyfriend now, okay?"
"Ah! Not Mom? When did this happen? How come I, as a mother, didn't know?"
"You didn't know, did you? I didn't know either. I only found out by accident a couple of days ago."
"Not Mom? You must have made a mistake!"
"No mistake, I overheard them talking on the phone."
"Okay! I'll ask about it later."
How can you believe something that hasn't even been confirmed yet? What if it's a comrade or a friend?
If you don't bring it home and tell me yourself, how can anyone know if it's true?
But if the old man says so, then so be it! At least they're happy.
"What about Ruohua? When is she getting married?"
"What, you're asking now? Are you planning to give more dowry?"
"Third brother, if you want a dowry, that's fine, but I'm afraid you'll think it's not enough."
"You can give me a dollar, it's not a small amount, as long as you feel comfortable doing so."
"So when exactly is my niece getting married?"
"It will be soon. At the banquet today, the Yan family asked me a question, and I nodded in agreement. If nothing unexpected happens, the Yan family will come to discuss this matter when we return to Beijing."
"So fast, third brother? Ruohua isn't that old either?"
"It's not that big, but a girl's prime years are only a few. If she gets married, it's not good for having children."
"Alright! Does the Yan family have anything else?"
"He didn't say anything, just that he would come to my house in person to discuss it when the time comes."
"In that case, when you come to my house, you should let me know. You should at least put on airs."
"Big brother is the best, isn't he? Even without a daughter, he can still be an uncle."
"Aren't you my uncle?"
"Yes? But I can't put on airs like that, can I?"
"Who can you blame? Who told you to stay so far away? Third brother, tell me later too, I, as your uncle, have to join in the fun."
"no problem."
"That's right. We only have one girl in our family, so we can't neglect her."
We need to let the Yan family know that we are not the kind of family that doesn't value girls.
"well!"
Why are you sighing!
"I'm here, why can't we have more children? What if our granddaughter is born a girl after she marries into her husband's family?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Our Shen family doesn't care whether it's a boy or a girl."
