Just now, he probably didn’t do anything impolite, right? Neither did he do anything that was improper, right… After meeting gazes with his future father-in-law, the Lieutenant Colonel immediately nodded his head and returned a shallow smile quite reservedly.
“Then we’ll go there right away, first make the four scientists feel at home and rest up, and regain their spirits.” Xia Jinyuan pulled back his gaze, then asked Lin Feng: “Which rooms do you think is best to put the four scientists in?”
Lin Feng replied: “Right in the living room, I’ve spent a fortune to install boron-carbide ceramic bulletproof materials. Let me go grab some blankets. If you guys move the coffee table aside, you could make space to lie down.
Father Fu noticed that his daughter kept glancing at their squad captain while speaking; he didn’t think much of it; he smiled: “You look very alike with your mother, yet the way you act resembles your big brother a little.”
Big bro? Does she?
After pulling back her gaze, Ye Jian touched her face and smiled while pursing her lips. They say nephews resemble their uncles… you see, it really is so, from your face, I could find the shadows of big bro Jin Nian.”
“During the first time Big Bro saw me, he thought I looked familiar as if having seen me somewhere.”
After his nephew, Li Jinnian, was mentioned, Father Fu’s smile grew a little, “Jinnian does resemble me a little, both of you resemble me a little, that’s why he felt he had seen you somewhere.”
“Good, so good, my daughter’s already grown up; Red Plum has raised you really well, really excellent. When she was younger, your mother used to say it would be troublesome if our daughter was as strict as me, that our daughter would have a hard time marrying a good guy, while our son would probably have trouble finding a wife.”
Ye Jian loved to listen to the stories about her parents when they were younger; she felt like her mother was right by her side and was so close to her.
So close that when her father talked, she seemed to see Mom in her younger years standing quietly aside, a gentle smile on the edge of her lips, listening to everything Dad said.
Mom was still how she looked in her memories, young, beautiful, a woman who was as gentle as still water; even though she was just standing there quietly, she was still a work of art.
“Your mother was very beautiful in her younger years; when she was in the military, lots of young lads wanted to approach her. During that time, the military’s regulation was as strict as right now, there are stringent dividers between male soldiers and female soldiers, but your mother was one of the rarest female soldiers in the military, and she was so fair and pretty, which made the guys in the military dread that they can’t train alongside her for twenty-four hours each day.”
Father Fu mentioned things of the past, and his strict eyes were filled with water, as his entire person turned extremely gentle.
“Afterwards, I managed to court your mother’s hand. One time around, your mother teased me; if it’s not because I had a good-looking face, she probably wouldn’t have been able to find a white carrot-like me in a pile of charcoal.”
Hearing that, Ye Jian couldn’t help but to chuckle, finding a white carrot in a pile of charcoal, so that means the reason why Mom fell in love with Dad was because Dad was quite the looker?
After looking at the pictures of her father during his younger years, he was undoubtedly a reserved yet strict handsome man, although he was already in his forties, but his aura had turned more mature and scholarly because of the years.
Probably because the man who was in research and development needed to think a lot, there were shallow creases on his forehead, and in that case, he seemed like quite the inflexible person.
His eyes were very serious as well as extremely wise. If he slightly squints his eyes while looking at a person, he’ll be able to make someone feel nervous from the roots of their hearts.
Ye Jian thought her father must be a Chief Engineer who was so strict that made others scared of him in the base, especially those soldiers who are a bit young; after facing her father’s stare, they wouldn’t even dare to look back at him.
Haha
