Huang Xiaoqing was finally at ease. Her beautiful wish had co true.
Da Biao sat down again. "Uncle and Aunt, I am just one person, but I still have my old leader. I will go back today and tell them."
The two elders nodded. This was normal. Although they were just ordinary people, they knew that sotis a leader could be like a parent.
Da Biao stood up. "Uncle and Aunt, Xiaoqing, I’m leaving now and will co back tomorrow."
"Da Biao, why don’t you finish your al before you go back?"
Da Biao shook his head. "Aunt, I won’t this ti. The person in charge at the garrison also ca along. I drove here, so he can’t go back. I’ll co by myself tomorrow."
It is a crucial mont now, and he must ask for leave.
Everyone understood, and the Huang family of three saw Da Biao off. Huang Xiaoqing watched Da Biao’s tall and upright back with a smile on her face. Her heart was steady, filled with a sense of security, knowing he could hold up a sky for her.
They watched Da Biao drive away, then the three of them returned ho.
Mr. and Mrs. Huang were no longer worried. They were quite satisfied with their daughter’s choice.
"Xiaoqing, were there many people participating today?"
"Yes, there were thirty n, and thirty won too."
"And you two, Da Biao?"
"At the beginning, we were asked to write each other’s number down, and we both chose each other."
"Haha, it’s your destiny."
"Yes, I think so too. I liked Da Biao the mont I saw him. At the ti, I was worried you wouldn’t agree. I told him, and he ca back with to convince you."
"He is a responsible person," Mr. Huang remarked with admiration.
Da Biao drove away, knowing Daqing must be at Chengzi’s place, so he went straight to the compound.
By the ti he arrived, work was already over. Many people had gone to eat. He jumped out of his car to find the two of them.
Tan Shaoting had already arrived at Su Yuanyuan’s office. She was wrapping things up there too.
Seeing the two behind her husband, she asked with a smile, "How did it go?"
Chengzi smiled and said, "I’m going to et the woman’s parents tomorrow."
Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile, "Great. Make sure to show your best. Bring your sincerity."
Chengzi nodded, "I know."
Su Yuanyuan looked at Daqing. Daqing touched his nose and said, "I’ve made it too. The other side is a surgeon, and we’ve scheduled to et outside the hospital the day after tomorrow."
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Very good, make sure to cherish it. If you cherish them, they will be sincere to you too."
"Sister-in-law, I know. Once I’ve set my mind to it, I will cherish it."
Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile, "So it’s just you guys who made it? Three didn’t find anyone."
"Yes. I bet Director Zhang won’t be too pleased about it either."
Leader Zeng wouldn’t agree. Since they were sent to et people from the beginning, it was with the thought of having them start families.
"Why didn’t Hu Zi make it?"
"Hu Zi said they didn’t like him."
"Not liking but still choosing Hu Zi, are they just eager to leave?"
Both nodded, thinking the sa.
Tan Shaoting stood up, "Let’s go, we’re going for dinner."
His wife mustn’t go hungry, talking while eating.
The two followed behind the couple, noticing the cautiousness in their leader’s posture. Anyone with eyes could see the couple was lovingly devoted.
Da Biao arrived at Sister-in-law’s office. The duty secretary said they had gone to eat and quickly rushed to the cafeteria.
He found the leader group and sat down directly, without bothering with formalities.
"How did it go?"
"Her parents have just this one daughter, and at first, they said they wouldn’t agree. But once they knew my conditions, they agreed. Actually, they wanted to find a live-in son-in-law, so whether I live in or not makes no difference. Also, the children will take their surna, while I don’t even know my own. So it doesn’t matter.
Besides, Leader, I have to go to the Huang family tomorrow. If things go well, can you propose marriage for ?"
Tan Shaoting nodded, "Absolutely. I’ll go."
This made Da Biao happy. Although an orphan without family, he had comrades he fought alongside, and the leader and sister-in-law who saved his life.
Chengzi and Daqing laughed as they joked with Da Biao, "This suits both sides well. The woman won’t oppose it."
Daqing and the two of them left after finishing their al.
In the evening, Tan Shaoting was helping his wife comb her hair in the space, which not only made her feel comfortable but also refreshed her spirit. Their two children absolutely loved this mont; more than three months along, they could already feel the fetal movents.
The next day, Chengzi took leave and went out. He went to the building to buy so gifts, then rode his bicycle to the Li Family.
Since they agreed to et in the morning, only the eldest of the Li Family couldn’t take leave to go to work. The rest of the Li Family were there.
Chengzi had already found out the exact location, saw the door open, and still called out from outside.
Li Xiaoyu heard the sound from outside and quickly ca out to greet him.
Chengzi saw Li Xiaoyu and smiled too, because when soone smiles at you, you naturally smile back.
Behind Li Xiaoyu were her two brothers, along with the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law.
"Welco."
Chengzi pushed his bicycle into the yard, parked it, and took the gifts off the handlebars.
"Sorry for bothering you."
"Please co in," Li Xiaoyu said with a smile.
The four who ca out warmly invited Chengzi inside.
Their ho was a courtyard, indicating their family’s condition was quite good, with plenty of rooms, aning each person had their own space.
The living room was quite spacious. As Chengzi ca in, he saw two elderly people and two middle-aged people sitting there.
Li Xiaoyu smiled and introduced him, "This is my grandpa and grandma."
Chengzi placed the things on the coffee table and respectfully greeted the elders, "Grandpa Li and Grandma Li, I apologize for intruding."
Mr. Li looked at Chengzi and was already very satisfied inside.
"Grandpa, this is Chengzi."
"Chengzi, have a seat. It’s no intrusion, no intrusion."
Li Xiaoyu then introduced her parents. Chengzi greeted them the sa way.
Chengzi sat back, letting the family take a good look at him.
Old Li eyed Chengzi, "I heard from Xiaoyu that you’re an orphan?"
Chengzi nodded, "Yes, I don’t even rember my surna or where my family is from; I’ve been wandering. I was chosen to begin training at eleven."
Mr. Li nodded, "Your work is very dangerous, but also very noble."
"Yes, our education taught us to sacrifice ourselves for the country’s and the people’s interests."
Mr. Li nodded. Such a person wouldn’t go wrong.
"Are you a bodyguard for the leaders now?"
Having t the secretary from the Ministry of Construction yesterday, Chengzi already knew the Li Family would know his identity, and he had nothing to hide.
"Yes. I’m a bodyguard for Minister Su."
Chengzi could feel Li Xiaoyu beside him getting quite excited.
