Qian Xiaoshuang snorted, "It looks like you guys have made a contribution this time. Are you getting promoted? That’s why you’re talking so cheekily."
Yan Kai nodded, "I’ve received word from above. I’m off to the party school for studies next March, and I reckon Gu Junming will be reassigned soon." Going there means a definite promotion, though it’s likely an administrative post. However, Gu Junming should fare better and might end up leading a field regiment, which is something he’s longed for.
Yan Kai thought to himself that he, Gu Junming, and Wang Hu used to be on the same starting line. Now that Wang Hu has been reassigned far away, he’s effectively withdrawn from the race, and Gu Junming has finally surpassed him.
He felt a bit off about it, but considering Gu Junming wrote those flood prevention plans beforehand and even saved someone, it would feel wrong for Yan Kai to be promoted instead. He would just have to wait for the next opportunity.
Qian Xiaoshuang was unaware of his thoughts and said with a laugh, "That’s good news, congratulations!"
"It’s nothing. Let’s go see your dad."
"Huh," Qian Xiaoshuang said urgently, "Why are you in such a rush?" You just held my hand, and now you want to meet my dad?
"I’ve heard for ages that your dad is a veteran and I want to learn from him." Yan Kai laughed enthusiastically.
Qian Xiaoshuang blushed. Considering her father’s character, he would surely slap the table and then laugh, saying, "Good! Very good! Get married!"
These two are really giving her a headache!
The neighbors in the courtyard saw Yan Kai and her coming from afar and immediately gathered around.
Qian Family’s little girl has been a tomboy since young, and the neighbors were curious about what kind of partner she’d find. Who knew she found quite a good one!
Everyone praised this young guy. He’s really impressive, and promising, with a bright future!
Yan Kai said with a smile, "I have many shortcomings and need Comrade Xiaoshuang to correct and criticize me! I really like her. Thanks to the aunties and aunties for taking care of her all these years!"
Qian Xiaoshuang pulled him inside, "Stop babbling." Her face was burning up.
As soon as they entered the house, they met the old man, who was indeed very happy and immediately insisted they stay for a meal at the house.
Then he called Yan Kai’s father, "My daughter and your son are together now, when are they getting married?"
Qian Xiaoshuang was speechless. You’re really that eager to marry me off?
After the meal, Qian Xiaoshuang’s father was even more satisfied. This son-in-law was really good — he had vision, ability, was older than Qian Xiaoshuang by several years, was mature and steady. Perfect!
Their relationship was acknowledged and smoothly accepted to everyone’s surprise.
If Qian Xiaoshuang hadn’t kept things in check, the wedding date might have been set right then and there.
The next day, Yan Kai filed a report to apply for a marriage house. He needed to secure it ahead of time and tidy things up.
The Yan Family and Qian Family began preparing wedding supplies.
Qian Xiaoshuang just felt, you’re moving a little too quickly, don’t you think? This pace is a bit hard for me to accept.
Yan Kai was quite pleased. Even though this time it wasn’t as good as Gu Junming, at least he found his wife, so it balanced out!
A couple of days later, Gu Junming was transferred to a new unit and promoted to deputy regiment commander.
