Chapter 157: Chapter 131 Worry Upgrade_2

Dagang’s Grandpa also mentioned that the Old Master of Zhou was showing off the Regimental Commander Zhou and his future daughter-in-law going to study abroad. Think about it, how old is Commander Zhou already? Dagang’s Grandpa has in his mind his studies, how many years has it been since he last gathered with the Old Master of Zhou?

"Mom, we are in the same village as Dagang’s Grandpa. Tell me, when have you ever seen anyone from the Zhou family, except for that time Commander Zhou and Instructor Zhou visited his home?"

"This..." Zhao Yulan reminisced for a moment and looked towards Lin Baohe, "Husband, have you heard about it?"

Lin Baohe shook his head.

Chuxia quickly chimed in: "That settles it, what Dagang’s Grandpa said must be old news. This is how it is, Dagang’s Grandpa once saved Regimental Commander Zhou’s grandfather. The Zhou family is grateful and has kept in touch with him ever since."

Though Dagang’s Grandpa is not vain, having such a family always remembering him is something he is proud of, even if there were some years when they didn’t really make contact, he feels in his heart that he has always been in touch with the Zhou family.

Dad and Mom asked him about this, and he certainly didn’t plan to deceive Mom and Dad, so he naturally told them everything he knew, including his speculations. Of course, he meant well.

But the reality is, there are some things he really doesn’t understand. I guess, he hasn’t met anyone from the Zhou family for at least six years. There may have been some letters or things sent to him during that time, which is why he feels what he knows is the most accurate.

"Oh my, going round and round like this almost befuddled me. Dad, Mom, Eldest Uncle, Eldest Maternal Aunt, do you understand what I’m trying to say?"

"Xia..." Zhao Yulan hesitated and gazed at her daughter, "Then why did Commander Zhou take a fancy to you at first glance?"

Chuxia looked bewildered, "Mom, when you heard today the person who took a fancy to me was him, your first reaction was that he had gotten divorced, right?"

"Yes." Zhao Yulan nodded honestly, "That’s really what Mom thought, but at that moment, I felt it’s still better than marrying someone who is much older. I really didn’t think about the child aspect then."

"Little Uncle, I don’t think Commander Zhou has any children." Zhao Qiliang finally got the chance to interject, "I’ve been here for over a year and haven’t heard that Commander Zhou has any children. As for a divorce, I haven’t heard about that either."

"You little soldier, how could you know all this?" Li Aiyuan slapped her son, "This is about your sister’s lifetime happiness, you must not spout nonsense and mislead us."

As it turned out, after all Chuxia had said, they still didn’t believe it.

They seemed determined to believe that if Zhou Mikang were truly normal, marrying her would be abnormal.

But how could she explain?

Should she say Zhou Mikang had a broken heart and was forced by his family to marry her?

Or say Zhou Mikang was misunderstood by his family members and decided to just go along with it?

If she really said that, this whole family would probably spin even wilder guesses.

Forget it, it’s better to wait until tomorrow to meet with Zhou Mikang and let him explain it himself. She genuinely didn’t know how to articulate this issue well.

Thinking this, she stood up, "Dad, Mom, Eldest Uncle, Eldest Maternal Aunt, you all must be tired from today. Rest well tonight, and let Commander Zhou talk to you about this in person tomorrow, okay?"

"Xia, can’t you stay with Mom?" Zhao Yulan grabbed her daughter, a look of reluctance on her face.

Chuxia was also reluctant to leave Zhao Yulan, but Zeng Meili had not spoken, so she couldn’t stay, hence she said, "Mom, I am now a soldier and must abide by military discipline. Allowing us to return late has already been Captain Zeng cutting us some slack, we shouldn’t be inconsiderate and let others speak ill of us."

"Right, your chatter confused me so much, I forgot to share some good news with you. Xiaoqiong has been noticed by the director of our local 401 Hospital and soon she will be transferred to work as the director’s assistant."

Her residence registration will also move with her, which means, Xiaoqiong has officially become what you call a ’city person who feeds on the nation’s grain.’"

"Really?" Zhao Yulan joyfully grabbed Luo Xiaoqiong, "This child, you really have come a long way. Just two days here and you’ve caught the director’s eye and started eating the nation’s grain. If your parents knew, they’d be overjoyed."

Luo Xiaoqiong smiled shyly, "Aunt, it’s not certain yet."

"How can it be uncertain, Chuxia never lies." Li Aiyuan grabbed Luo Xiaoqiong’s other hand and sized her up, "I’ve said it before, our Xiaoqiong looks like someone with good fortune, and our Qiliang too. It turned out to be true..."
