บท 30: Reporting Marriage Plans
บรรณาธิการ: Atlas Studios
Fortunately, the chestnuts were delicious on their own. Given that they had absorbed the energy from the jade pendant, they emitted a tempting aroma not long after they were steamed in the pot for a while.
The pair of grandfather and granddaughter finished their meal in satisfaction. Qiao Mei then filled a big bowl with chestnuts and placed it in the basket, preparing to go out.
"Where are you going?" Qiao Qiang asked curiously.
"Sending it to Auntie Dong at the end of the village. We can exchange for some rice with her family," Qiao Mei replied.
Qiao Qiang was stunned and looked at Qiao Mei in disbelief.
His Mei Mei had really changed. Not only had she learned how to do household chores and cook well, but she had also become tactful in handling matters. It was as if she had been blessed by Buddha.
No, perhaps she had been encouraged by that kid, Xia Zhe… I don't even know when that kid would return.
…
At this moment, Xia Zhe frowned as he thought about his next mission. This mission was a little complicated and did not seem to be able to be completed within a month.
He thought for a while and ran to his office to make a call.
"Commissar, I have something to report!"
"What is it?" A voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Please help me put up a report on my marriage plans!" Xia Zhe said immediately. Soldiers had to put in an application if they had plans to get married.
"…" The other end of the phone went silent.
"Please help me to put up a report on my marriage plans!" Xia Zhe repeated in a louder voice.
"Okay, okay, okay. I got it." The man on the other end of the phone covered his ears before he continued to ask, "Which girl are you going to get married to? Is she from Zhang Lao Da's family or Commissar Ma's family? Or is it the English teacher from the university that your father introduced to you?"
Xia Zhe was handsome, had a good family background and a good character. Ever since he became an adult, people had almost knocked down his family door trying to introduce girlfriends to him one after another.
Especially in the early few years, there were so many people who came round.
In the past few years though, there were not many people because the earlier group did not succeed. Everyone felt that the Xia family had very high standards, so it dissuaded those ladies who were from modest families.
It was also precisely because of this that two ladies with good family backgrounds had set their sights on this good catch, Xia Zhe. The two families were currently fighting fiercely over him, and it was said that the two ladies had even physically fought several times over this matter.
The people around them were all caught up in the drama to see which family would manage to win Xia Zhe over, Commissar Qin included. He did not expect that the choice of the winning marriage candidate was being made now.
"Quick, tell me, which family is she from?!" The commissar asked curiously.
Xia Zhe stopped for a moment and said, "It's the granddaughter of my grandfather's old comrade. The comrade had saved his life back then. Her name is Qiao Mei."
"What?" The commissar thought that the phone signal was not good so he had not heard it clearly.
"Grandfather's old comrade's granddaughter, her name is Qiao Mei!" Xia Zhe repeated loudly again, "Take down the address now, her home is at… Don't go to the wrong place."
He was not very formal with his words. After all, this commissar was his uncle who had watched him grow up. Hence, he had informed this uncle first without regard for family hierarchy.
"Ah? Oh, oh, oh… I'll take it down…" Qin Dong immediately took out a pen and paper and started to write down the address. He paused for a while and suddenly asked," What's going on? What about the ladies from the two families? "
Xia Zhe was silent for a moment before he continued, "I don't think the Zhang and Ma families have a good way of doing things. We're not on the same side, so it's better not to be involved with each other in the future."
His words were a little vague, but in reality, what he was thinking was that those two families would be finished sooner or later because of their way of doing things.
บท 31: His People Must Be Protected!

"As for the female teacher from the university that my father mentioned to me last time…" Xia Zhe scratched his head, unable to recall how she looked." Forget it, let's not talk about her anymore."
There was no point caring about these people now. After all, he had already decided who he was going to marry.
"Alright, you decide on your own marriage. As long as Qiao Mei passes the political review, there's no problem on my end!"
Qin Dong then asked curiously, "So which family's daughter did you fall in love with at first sight, for you to make a decision on such an important matter as marriage right now? Is she very pretty?"
At this point, Xia Zhe could not help but shiver. She looked… probably she would scare you to death.
"Let's get the marriage registered first. When I'm done with my mission, I'll bring her home to see you guys," he said.
Since the two of them had spent the night together, they had to get married so that no one would have any designs on Qiao Mei. At the same time, Grandpa Qiao Qiang would also feel more at ease.
Although… Qiao Mei was not very pleasing to the eye, she was already his now. Since that was the case, he would protect her.
"I'm on a mission here and I don't think I'll be able to finish it anytime soon. Please help me get my marriage certificate done, then go to the village and treat the villagers to a meal. We'll make some arrangements for the wedding and then deliver the marriage certificate to her. Then we can consider the matter done."
This would make her relatives give up.
"So soon?" Qin Dong suddenly thought of something and asked, "Could it be that you are still hiding something from me?"
When Xia Zhe heard this, his face felt like it was on fire. It turned red in an instant and it was like he could suddenly hear the moans from that night and the pleasure of release…
Although he knew that it was unlikely for anything to happen after a one night stand, they had done it more than once that night. If they ended up having a child… he could not let anyone gossip about the child that might be born.
"I was drunk the other day, so I made a mistake…" Xia Zhe said softly.
"Ah? You rascal… you're really…" Now Qin Dong heard this clearly. Even as he was admonishing his nephew, he was also itching to know what happened.
What kind of girl could make his steel-hearted nephew lose control?
As a man, he knew very well that there was no such thing as one losing control when drunk. That was just an excuse. If a man was really drunk, he would not be able to do anything. If he had done something, then he was definitely a willing partner.
Xia Zhe blushed. Neither did he lose control after being drunk, nor did he pretend to be crazy under the influence of alcohol. He had accidentally fallen for a trick…
Xia Zhe exhaled and said slowly, "Don't tell my parents about this first. I'll tell them myself when I get back."
Qin Dong immediately replied, "I understand. You can say it yourself when you're back!"
He had taken down the address of this woman and noted that she was likely a village girl. With the characters of his younger sister and brother-in-law, wouldn't the Xia Family explode when they knew about it?
The explosion was not the scary part, the scary part would be if they object to this marriage.
He thought differently from this couple of the Xia family. He felt that a real man had to depend on himself to build his career. He must work on it one shot at a time and not rely on unorthodox methods which were not dependable at all.
Besides, if a man worked hard for his career outside and did not have a woman he liked waiting at home, then that life would feel empty. He would not feel comfortable even if he had a good life.
Now that his nephew finally found someone he liked, he must protect this marriage and not let that Xia family couple ruin it.
After hanging up, Qin Dong immediately took action. He made a few phone calls to the Northeast precinct and someone immediately boarded the train to Qiao Mei's house.
Wedding matters should be handled quickly and not be delayed so that it would set everyone's mind at ease once everything is done.
He was Xia Zhe's uncle after all!
