The old parents in the family counted age using the traditional calendar, but Father Fu never said a word. Father Fu was not happy that Commander-in-Chief Xia actually counted his daughter’s age using the traditional method and even calculated his daughter a year older.
This older one year was equivalent to getting married a year earlier. And that was not Father Fu wanted. One or two years after graduation was just the right time to find a boyfriend. And after that then only it was time to slowly choose a good boyfriend. Then, she would spend another year or two getting to know her boyfriend. At 29, it would be the right time to get married!
Commander-in-Chief Xia also did some quick calculations, and once he did the calculation, he felt sad for his son.
It seemed that Engineer Fu wanted to keep his daughter to himself until she was 28 or 29 years old, so that meant that his son would have to wait…nine years!
He still had a long way to go. Old Sixth, oh, Old Sixth, please ask for more blessings.
“That’s true, men and women are equal now, and both have their own careers. Like my kid, my old man said that it was all right for him to get married at 34 or 35. He said it was best that he used his 10 years or more to serve the country well, and when he has a certain foundation, he can marry a woman and give him a grandson. This way, his grandson wouldn’t be left alone without a father all the time.”
Ye Jian heard the two fathers talking softly about her and Major Xia’s age. When she heard her father saying that she was still young and that he was not looking forward to having a son-in-law within one or two years after her graduation, she smiled and raised her eyes to look at the man beside her.
“Major Xia, did you hear that? My dad said that I shouldn’t worry about getting him a son-in-law for at least one or two years after graduation. Too bad, guess you have to wait, huh?”
At this time, Xia Jinyuan’s mouth was so bitter that it felt like he was chewing on pineapples. His father-in-law was really worthy of being the Chief Engineer. He was so powerful that he made his old man Xia obey his words in the end!
Ye Jian chuckled. Lieutenant Colonel Xia was expressionless. He felt bitter. Father Fu, who turned around and looked at the situation behind, was even more frightened now. He started to believe more and more that his daughter had a crush on her Captain.
There was no expression on the other party’s face, but his daughter could still laugh. Father Fu was so bitter.
What was wrong with Jian’er that that little rascal didn’t even bother to look at her?
No, he must not let his daughter suffer!
He should either persuade her daughter to find another man or… let her daughter go after him. Then he could help his daughter by having a good chat with Commander-in-Chief Xia and maybe pay him a visit sometimes for a cup of tea to see if the Xia Family had any plans. That way, he could also help his daughter.
And if that still couldn’t work, hmph! There were several other young talents in his base. He could introduce one to his daughter.
The Qin Family also had a grandson who was a diplomat. He had seen that young man countless times, except for having a bad sense of direction; he was extremely good in all other aspects.
He didn’t believe that apart from Commander-in-Chief Xia’s son, his daughter would look down on other outstanding men.
Of course, he would also respect his daughter’s decision. If she really liked her Captain, he, as her father, would fight for her.
Thinking of this, Father Fu smiled and said to the Commander-in-Chief, “Men should still focus on their careers. It’s okay to get married late in order to have a certain degree of success, stabilize their temperament and become more responsible. At that time, then only it would be better to marry a wife and have children.”
“Little Xia is capable. He would surely have a bright future. Getting married at 35 or 36 is just right as he would have just reached a stable stage in life. Grandpa Xia can rest assured, and you also can rest assured.”
“Yes, that’s reasonable. That’s why I’m also not worried that he is 26 or 27 now and still hasn’t been in a relationship. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have a girlfriend now. I do not want him to fall in love and not marry the woman!” Commander-in-Chief Xia looked serious and said very seriously, “Us Xia Family is true to love. We will not get into a relationship without plans of marrying the woman, not my father, not me, and definitely not my son.”
