Chapter 268

Zhong Jianguo hurriedly said, "What is this all about? I agree because the Qi family and the Xiao family are in the same family, and they are about the same age, you have to admit it.

"Secondly, the girl thinks that self-reliance is good, which means she likes to be self-reliant, and she will definitely be good at self-reliance in the future. Thirdly, you have met Xiao Ping'an a few times, and he has a good temper. He has only one son and one daughter, and he will marry him by himself. Daughter, he really treats self-reliance as a son and hurts."

"Elder Qi said before that the matter of you being the deputy commander is a certainty, and the appointment is still pending. You dare to say that Mr. Xiao didn't get involved in this matter?" Song Zhaodi said, "Xiao Ping'an has only such a precious girl, and she must be very delicate at home. Maybe Dalian can't tell the difference between salt and sugar. She is married to Zili, and most of them are self-reliant to take care of her. My son who has worked so hard to raise, is exhausted from work, and has to serve others. I would rather he be a bachelor for the rest of his life.

"The last point, and the main reason, is that self-reliance is smart, but he is not ruthless. If Xiao Yun and Gengsheng are in trouble after a hundred years, and Gengsheng dares to divorce her, what about self-reliance? Self-reliance will definitely not bear it, unless she goes too far."

Sanwa nodded vigorously: "Mother is right. So it's better for this matter to be self-reliant and not go on a blind date."

"The key has now been taken away by Qi Lao." Zhong Jianguo said, "This year is 1987, the year the Great Revolution ended, Xiao Yun was nineteen years old. She was only nine years old when the Great Revolution began, and the Xiao family suffered a lot during the Great Revolution. , even if Xiao Yun was a princess before, no one liked him in those ten years."

Song Zhaodi: "Then let's leave Xiao Yun aside, why haven't you been appointed as the deputy commander?"

Zhong Jianguo was dumbfounded.

Sanwa looked at Song Zhaodi and then at Zhong Jianguo: "Is the self-supporting brother married or not?"

"I, I don't care. If you want to get married, you can get married. If you don't want to marry, you can't marry." Zhong Jianguo looked into Song Zhaodi's eyes and said, "But I don't think it's okay to meet each other. Xiao Lao and Qi Lao are old comrades-in-arms, and they both live there. Zitengyuan is also considered half a neighbor, you can't see it when you look down, and the faces of the two families are not good-looking."

Song Zhaodi: "Then this matter can be placed after appointing you as the deputy commander, why not bring it up at this juncture?"

"I'm the deputy commander, and if the Xiao family brings it up again, don't you think it's a bit of a favor?" Zhong Jianguo asked rhetorically.

Zhenxing frowned and thought deeply: "Uncle Zhao means that it is not good to mention it now, and it will be even worse to mention it later. Then, why didn't Elder Xiao mention it earlier?"

"This has to wait for Zi Li." Zhong Jianguo saw Song Zhaodi fell silent, "Zi Li went to see him, and Mr. Qi would definitely tell him the truth. Actually, I think that when Zi Li agreed at the beginning, Mr. Qi would also tell him the truth."

Sanwa frowned, "You're blaming Brother Zili for telling Grandpa Qi to ask your mother first?"

"When did I blame myself for being self-reliant?" Zhong Jianguo's head hurts, "don't make trouble."

Song Zhaodi glanced at Zhong Jianguo: "Sanwa, go to the school with Zhenxing and Jingjing, Zhenxing, take the vegetables you bought in the morning, you can eat there."

Zhenxing: "What about you?"

"Don't eat." Song Zhaodi looked at Zhong Jianguo and said.

Zhong Jianguo's head hurt even more: "If you are angry with me, you have to eat. Zhenxing, you guys cook."

"Do it at school, don't leave it at home." Song Zhaodi said.

Zhenxing pushed Sanwa and asked him to go up and persuade him.

Sanwa went around the chair and sat next to Song Zhaodi: "Mother, if you don't want to eat, we won't eat it. If you don't want to ask Dad to eat, we won't give it to him. We'll eat it upstairs."

"That's right." Zhong Jianguo said, "I don't want to say one meal, even if I don't eat two meals, it's not impossible."

Song Zhaodi: "That's fine, don't eat it at noon or at night."

"...No problem." Zhong Jianguo couldn't help but glanced at the phone, prayed secretly, became self-reliant, and quickly called Dad when he saw it. Suddenly I thought, "No, what did the old man say just now? What research institute should Zili be in at this time. Where are they going to meet?"

Song Zhaodi thought back carefully: "The old man said just now, or I will go to see the day they meet, is it possible that I will take Zili to the imperial capital?"

"Maybe Zi Li will be in the imperial capital at this time." Zhong Jianguo said, "Elder Qi didn't expect Zi Li to be willing to go, nor did he expect you to disagree, so he just said that."

Zhenxing: "I think Uncle is the truth."

"If brother Zili is in the imperial capital, can I see that Xiao Yun later?" Sanwa didn't wait for his parents to speak, and said, "I'm not going to the school, I'll wait for brother Zili's call at home."

Song Zhaodi turned to him and said earnestly: "Sanwazi, open your mouth and shut up and stand on your own brother, don't you feel awkward?"

"I don't think so." Sanwa was very honest, "Wait a minute, mother, I thought of one thing, there is a phone in the dormitory of the self-supporting brother. Does it mean that I can call him later?"

Zhong Jianguo smiled and said, "If I can make an outgoing call on my own, there must be someone listening. Qi Lao listened to your disagreement and hung up the phone without talking nonsense with you. I guess it's hard to say too much detail."

Liu Jingjing couldn't believe it: "Zili is the grandson of Grandpa Qi, so there's no need to monitor him, right?"

"There is more than one General Qi in the imperial capital." Song Zhaodi said, "We know that self-reliance has no external intentions, what about others? Monitoring others will definitely monitor self-reliance, and treat them equally."

Liu Jingjing tentatively said: "Then shall we cook here, or go back to school?"

"Of course it's here." The kitchen here is wide and large. If you want to use a pot or a stove, you can prepare a meal in half an hour, and it will take at least an hour to get to him. Zhenxing said, "I also want to know what medicine those two old men sell in the gourd."

Zhong Jianguo waved at him, motioning him to go to the kitchen, don't let it go.

Zhenxing pulled Liu Jingjing and pointed to the kitchen. Then he turned around and grabbed Sanwa and took him away.

Zhong Jianguo hoped that Zi Li could call before lunch. However, Zi Li couldn't hear it. At 12:40, the phone rang when Sanwa, Zhenxing and Liu Jingjing had all eaten.

Zhong Jianguo got up subconsciously, noticed that the phone was right next to Song Zhaodi, and said quickly, "Quickly pick it up, don't let self-reliance wait."

Song Zhaodi glanced at him and picked up the microphone: "Self-reliance?"

"Mother, it's me." Zi Li said, "Grandpa reminded me just now that Uncle Shen is several years older than Dad. He has made a lot of contributions in the battlefield. He is also Grandpa Xiao's niece and son-in-law, and now he is also a teacher."

Song Zhaodi opened her mouth wide: "I, I forgot about him. Is Xiao Lao planning to transfer Shen Xuancheng back?"

"Grandpa Xiao didn't have this plan at the beginning." Zili said, "Grandpa said, Grandpa Xiao has seen the deputy commander and knows that he is in good health and can work for another three or four years. superior.

"Grandpa told him a few days ago that the deputy commander's voice was not good. Grandpa Xiao sent someone to investigate secretly before deciding to arrange it. However, compared with Shen Xuancheng, if he named his father as the deputy commander, the rest of the Xiao family would definitely I disagree." Zi Li said, "Grandpa Xiao always thought I was much younger than her granddaughter.

"Grandpa Xiao came to our side the day before yesterday and recognized me. He felt that I was not too young. When I went back, I asked Grandpa how old I was. Grandpa said I was twenty-seven. Grandpa Xiao said that he was three years younger than his granddaughter, which was not much worse. Just arrange for us to meet."

Song Zhaodi: "Where's your mother? Your grandfather is so old, so it's fine for him to call for such a thing. Do you need to find you in person?"

"I, I didn't say anything at first, so my grandfather came to me." Self-reliance took a peek at Lao Qi, and seeing his expressionless face, he didn't dare to take another look, "At first I didn't know that the deputy commander was transferred, I I haven't contacted my grandfather for two months, so I don't know what happened today is related to my father. I thought it was decided by the two of them chatting together and clapping their heads together."

Song Zhaodi: "Then let me ask you, have you seen it?"

"I see." Zili said, "Zitengyuan has many eyes, so I saw it outside. I just came back from outside."

Song Zhaodi: "Did Xiao Lao tell you to marry his granddaughter?"

"No." Zili said, "That Xiao Yun thinks I'm young, maybe he's afraid that I'm immature, and he's not very satisfied with me. But Grandpa Xiao said that the two of us are in a relationship first, and if we feel that we are not suitable for each other, we will have to act until this time next year. Also, he will tell the public tomorrow that we are about to get engaged."

Song Zhaodi rubbed her forehead: "In the beginning, why did I introduce someone to Shen Xuancheng? I really have nothing to do."

"Mother, don't blame yourself." Zi Li said, "Maybe it will be a year and a half later. I want to marry, but they still haven't married."

Song Zhaodi: "Let's not talk about Xiao Yun first, did your grandfather say why Xiao Lao did this?"

"Grandpa Xiao is not optimistic about Uncle Shen. Even if he has military merits, he never thought of helping him to the position of commander, at most deputy commander." Zi Li said, "It's a coincidence. Looking back, the Xiao family knew that he supported outsiders and would not push him. One of my own family will definitely blame him. Maybe even us."

Song Zhaodi sighed: "I blame me for this."

"How can I blame you." Zi Li said, "You didn't help him introduce him back then. If Aunt Xiao married someone else, maybe that person is now the deputy commander."

Song Zhaodi sighed deeply: "Self-reliance, don't force yourself. Otherwise, Gengsheng and Dawa will definitely find a chance to rectify the juniors of the Xiao family."

"Mother, you are really worrying." Zi Li said with a smile, "I will go back the day after tomorrow. After ten days and a half months, the pressure will be on Xiao Yun alone. I can now think of what Grandpa Xiao will say. , For example, Xiao Yun, he is busy with his own work, you go see him. If you talk about it three or five times, Xiao Yun will automatically propose to break up."

Song Zhaodi: "You, it's not good to do this. Be self-reliant and call others when you have free time."

"Mother, I'm just making an analogy." Zi Li said, "Don't be angry."

Song Zhaodi: "I'm not angry, I'm just worried that Mr. Xiao threatens you."

"Xiao Yun is willing to marry, and those who want to marry her can line up from Jiayuguan to the Meridian Gate. Grandpa Xiao threatened Xiao Yun to marry him as soon as possible." Zili said, "Tell Dad, don't worry, at most ten days, he will I can receive the appointment letter. There is no need for Grandpa Xiao to lie to me."

Song Zhaodi helped her forehead: "I see."

"You are worried about me now, why don't you think about how to deal with Aunt Xiao looking for you when you look back." Self-reliance said, "Grandpa Xiao said that his younger brother's family still doesn't know that our deputy commander has retired. This is not a small matter, no It will reach Aunt Xiao within three days."

Song Zhaodi: "You just said you were leaving the day after tomorrow. Did your grandfather ask you to go out with Xiao Yun tomorrow to let everyone know that you two are dating?"

"You are so old, why are you still so powerful." Zi Li wanted to laugh, "Grandpa did tell me on our way home."

Song Zhaodi: "Your salary is with me. I'll call Erwa later and ask him to send you some money. You, don't be reluctant to go out tomorrow. You can buy whatever you like."

"No need, mother." Zi Li said, "The clothes on my body are all made by Erwa, and I usually don't have the opportunity to go out. My salary for the past six months is not much use."

Song Zhaodi: "Then take good care of yourself." Hang up the phone, grab the water glass on the table and smash Zhong Jianguo.
