Lu Jingchuan turned his head to look at them and chuckled, "What are you mumbling about?"
"My eldest brother wants to marry me off. Second brother, please introduce me to a partner." Jiang Yun said frankly.
Ji Wei laughed as he ate, "Jingchuan, you seem to have a younger brother, right? Is he of marriageable age?"
"21 years old."
Lu Jingchuan hadn't thought about this before, so when his senior brother suddenly brought it up, he raised an eyebrow and asked Jiang Yun for her opinion: "Would you like me to introduce you to my younger brother? He works at the Kyoto Public Security Bureau. His work ability is impeccable, but his martial arts skills may not be as good as yours."
Gong Linglong, who was standing by, laughed as she listened. "Brother Jing, you're trying to match Jingyang and Jiang Yun up. Why are you talking about martial arts?"
"Comrade Jiang Yun made it known many years ago that she doesn't want any male comrade who can't beat her."
Lu Jingchuan smiled and told her that his junior sister was a person with a strong personality and was also very capable. The title of "铿锵玫瑰" (Steel Rose) in the army was not earned for nothing.
Jiang Yun couldn't help laughing when she thought about the bold words she had said before. She thought that few men could beat her in these years. If she continued like this, she might not be able to get married.
She thought about it and suddenly lowered her conditions: "Even a tie with me is fine. If you are excellent in other aspects and your skills are worse than mine, I will also consider you."
In short, you can't be a weakling who can't even do anything.
"When you get married, I will give you an iron bed as a dowry." Ji Wei gave her a smile.
Gong Linglong couldn't help but laugh, and continued with a smile: "Big Brother gave me an iron bed, and Second Brother and his wife gave me a dowry. The quality can't be poor. The tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, and utensils should be made of pure steel. They can be used as daily necessities in leisure time and as weapons in wartime."
Lu Jingchuan pursed his lips and smiled, nodding in agreement: "The arrangement is reasonable and the gifts are practical. Very good."
"Thank you first." Jiang Yun was amused by them.
The four young people were chatting and laughing, and Han Ji's attention was on Gong Linglong. The first time he saw her, he knew that she was Gong Wantang's daughter, and also knew that she was that man's child.
She looks very much like Gong Wantang, but the expression between her eyebrows is quite like her father. After a brief contact, I found that her personality is not like her parents, but rather like her uncle.
Gong Chengjun, that man with a heart as bright and clear as the moon, what a pity.
Gong Linglong had no idea what he was thinking. She was eating with her bowl in hand. She finished two large bowls of rice in a row and handed the bowl to Lu Jingchuan with a sly look in her eyes: "You're not full."
Lu Jingchuan chuckled and immediately stood up to serve her a bowl full of rice.
"You have a good appetite." Political Commissar Zhao looked at her with a smile.
Gong Linglong smiled awkwardly and pointed at her belly, "Now that I'm pregnant with a bottomless pit, food supplies at home are tight."
"Don't worry about food. I will find a way to eat more." Lu Jingchuan would rather starve himself than let her and the child starve.
After dinner, Han Ji, his disciples and the other two went to the military district office with the two leaders, while Bai Shuixian and her daughter stayed at home to do housework.
"Mom, can you tell me about Uncle Han?"
Seeing her asking about Han Ji, Bai Shuixian told her: "The Gong family and the Han family are old friends. Uncle Han is your great-grandfather's favorite student. Uncle Han and your grandfather are also very close friends."
"Our two families took different paths. Uncle Han came from a poor peasant family. The Han family's current status and achievements were all earned by him and his sons through the blood and rain of bullets."
"When your great-grandfather met him, he had just joined the army. He had never been to school and had a low level of education. He fought on the battlefield relying entirely on his drive and courage."
"He has an upright and righteous character, is generous and righteous, and is very loyal and affectionate. He is also very clever and intelligent. Your great-grandfather liked him very much. Later, he taught him reading and writing, helped him improve his cultural knowledge, and found many military books for him to read."
"Uncle Han later led troops to fight on the front lines. Your great-grandfather and grandfather provided great support. When the war was at its most intense, they sent a lot of food, medicine and other supplies."
"Uncle Han is a very grateful man. He often said that without your great-grandfather, he wouldn't be where he is today, and the Han family wouldn't be where it is today."
"When the Gong family was in trouble, Uncle Han and his family were stationed in the Eastern Military Region. Because the incident happened so suddenly, we didn't have time to ask anyone for help. It was half a month later that the Han family received the bad news."
Bai Shuixian looked downcast as she spoke, sighing, "When Uncle Han and Han Ji returned to Kyoto, all traces of the Gong family fire had been erased, and the outside world believed it was an accident. But they didn't believe it. Uncle Han knew your grandfather knew some mechanical engineering, and he didn't believe that all five of us had perished in the fire. He's been searching for us all these years."
Seeing that she was talking about the friendship between the two families and didn't mention anything else, Gong Linglong smiled deeply: "Mom, Uncle Han is not married yet?"
"Well, I'm not married. I've been alone all these years."
Bai Shuixian had asked this before and looked up at her, "Linglong, why are you asking this?"
"I'm just asking casually." Gong Linglong smiled.
Bai Shuixian didn't notice the light in her eyes. She sighed and said, "I asked him the reason before, and he said he hadn't met anyone he liked, so it just kept getting delayed."
Gong Linglong was about to say something when Bai Shuixian suddenly turned around and talked about something else: "Linglong, did Jingchuan tell you about the anonymous report today?"
"Yes."
Speaking of this, Gong Linglong was about to have a detailed discussion with her, and hurriedly asked her: "Mom, do you have anyone you suspect?"
Bai Shuixian nodded and silently uttered a name: "Chen Ying."
"Why do you doubt her?"
"Yesterday afternoon, after you and Xiao Jiang went fishing, Chen Ying came to our house..."
Bai Shuixian told her everything that happened yesterday afternoon and also expressed her feelings. "Aunt Jiao and Chen Ying have been coming here quite often lately. I've seen them quite often and talked with them quite a lot. I can't quite put my finger on why, but I always feel like something's not right with them. Especially Chen Ying. She grew up in a remote rural area, and her family wasn't well off, but she behaves differently from most rural girls. She doesn't seem worldly-wise."
Seeing that her mother had also noticed this, Gong Linglong's lips curled up slightly and she said softly, "I've noticed it too. She's a very interesting person."
Bai Shuixian narrowed her eyes and said solemnly, "Linglong, wait for Jingchuan to come back and we will tell him about our discovery."
"Mom, you stay home and do the housework. I'm going out for a while."
Gong Linglong wanted to take advantage of lunch time to find out more, so she went out and said, "Mom, if others come to visit and ask about it, just tell them that I'm taking a nap at home and will be back soon."
"Linglong, come back early and don't get too tired."
Bai Shuixian knew that she was about to activate her special inherited ability, so she was not worried about her safety, but was afraid that she would be too tired.
