An Guoqiang sat down on his own, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and raised his eyes to look at Lu Zhongjun.

"Let's put it this way, Lu Zhongjun, I looked for you last time and told you that I would not agree with our family Anna and you. I still have that attitude. It's coming today, but it doesn't mean anything. It's also the last time you'll be here. Don't come back in the future!"

"Why?"

"You're not a good fit for our family, Anna, and though she's my niece, I treat her like my own daughter. Lu Zhongjun, I don't deny that you are an excellent soldier, but you will not be a good husband. I want you to be self-aware. An Guoqiang's tone was already very unkind.

"May I ask you why you don't think I'm going to be a good husband?"

Lu Zhongjun's tone was still very calm, and his expression was calm.

"Based on my intuition! My intuition has been tempered by nearly 20 years of army life since I joined the army at the age of 16!" An Guoqiang said with a gloomy face.

Lu Zhongjun smiled.

"During World War II, there was a Russian general Lomonov who was astonishingly sensitive to the situation of local battles. Several battles with the Germans were not at all dominant, but in the end, they were often surprisingly victorious. He also became a World War II hero. After the war, a reporter interviewed him about his winning methods, saying that his natural military instincts played a big role. It was such a victorious general who died shortly after the end of World War II. Do you know why? One day he went hunting with the guards. The guards told him not to go any further, as it was said to be an invisible swamp. But the general did not listen, and entered with his instincts. Unfortunately, his instincts, while fulfilling his glory as a soldier, ended up costing him his own life. ”

When Lu Zhongjun was talking in an unhurried tone, An Guoqiang glared at him, and his face became even more ugly.

Lu Zhongjun smiled slightly.

"Uncle An, I don't mean anything else. It's just that what you just said suddenly reminded me of this story. I mean, the instincts he cultivated as a former professional soldier may be the secret weapon to victory in the field of attack that he excels at. For example, I believe that you too can be invincible in the mall. But it's not universally instructive, especially in the case of me and Anna. I know you've been against it, but it's because you're biased against me. I'll admit that I'm a person who is sometimes not so disciplined, and in your eyes it's ridiculous. You don't know the real me. And Anna knows. She chose me. It is my honor and my luck that I will spend my whole life proving to you that she was right. ”

"I could have married Anna without your consent. Lu Zhongjun continued, "But because of her insistence, and out of my respect for you, I have come with great sincerity and beg you to allow me to marry Anna. ”

"I would appreciate it if you could allow it!"

In the end, after he finished saying this, he looked at An Guoqiang, his eyes unblinking.

An Guoqiang's face was still gloomy and he didn't speak. The hand holding the cigarette stopped in mid-air, not moving for a moment.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, as if someone had come to the door.

An Guoqiang turned his head and looked at the window facing the courtyard.

Faintly, there was a sound of talking in the courtyard. In addition to grandma's voice, there was also a gentle-sounding and slightly old voice.

An Guoqiang's face moved, and he quickly stood up from his chair.

Lu Zhongjun also heard the visitor's voice, and his surprise was no less than An Guoqiang's.

There was a sound of footsteps coming quickly, and I saw my grandmother push open the door and lean in, with a look of surprise on her face.

"Guoqiang! Guess who's coming! Chief Lu! Xiao Lu's father! Xiao Lu! Your father is here! And your sister! Go out to greet you! Oh, I really didn't expect this! What kind of wind is blowing today, and the distinguished guests are coming one after another!"

An Guoqiang immediately walked out quickly.

Lu Zhongjun hesitated, with an uncertain look on his face, turned around, and slowly followed.

In the courtyard, Lu Jianlin was standing there talking to Xiao Yu. On the side was Lu Xiaolin, who was standing with a smile, and when she saw Xiaoguang running out, Lu Xiaolin squatted down, took out a bag of candy from her bag with a smile and handed it to him. Outside the courtyard gate, several neighbors who had heard the sound were looking at each other with curiosity on their faces. The grandmother who came out again used to tell her neighbors that it was her son, An Guoqiang, who had come over from the old chief in Beijing.

When the neighbors heard this, they nodded their heads in admiration.

……

"Old chief, what kind of wind is blowing you!"

No longer has an ugly face, as soon as An Guoqiang went out, a smile appeared on his face, and he walked over quickly, stretched out his hand to shake Lu Jianlin, and held it tightly.

Although he was very dissatisfied with the army in the army. But for his old boss, who had made great achievements in his early years, An Guoqiang respected him from the bottom of his heart, and even looked up.

"Uncle An!" Lu Xiaolin stood up, followed her brother's sudden downgrade, and called An Guoqiang with a smile.

An Guoqiang hurriedly responded and beckoned his father and daughter to come in and sit.

Lu Jianlin glanced at his son, who was slowly shaking out behind him with a somewhat solemn expression, his eyes returned to An Guoqiang, and said with a smile: "Guoqiang, it's really presumptuous, I came over like this without saying hello in advance." Don't be surprised! I heard Xiao Lin say that my son came to your house today. I was afraid that if he couldn't speak, he would lose this old face of mine, and I was a little uneasy, so I came over myself. He didn't offend you, did he? If you say something wrong, just tell me, I'll teach him a lesson, and I'll apologize to you!"

"Hey, look at what you said! What offended me! Come in and sit, don't stand in the courtyard!"

An Guoqiang hurriedly led his old boss in.

Lu Jianlin nodded with a smile and followed An Guoqiang inside.

Anna had been staying in her room just now, and she didn't know what Lu Zhongjun would say to her father, whether it would completely annoy him, and she was in a nervous mood, when she suddenly heard movement outside, ran to the window to take a look, and was surprised to see that it was Lu's father and Lu Xiaolin. I don't know why Father Lu suddenly came over. hurriedly ran out, shouted uncle to Lu's father, who had just entered the house, and greeted Lu Xiaolin.

Father Lu nodded to Anna with a smile.

After Anna finished saying hello, she and Lu Xiaolin whispered together on the side, and secretly asked Father Lu for the purpose of coming.

"I don't know ...... either" Lu Xiaolin whispered with a confused face.

"My dad suddenly said he was coming. So I brought him. ”

Xiao Yu came out with tea and handed tea to the guests with a smile on his face.

Father Lu took it and thanked him.

"Grandpa, you eat candy!"

Xiaoguang took the candy that Lu Xiaolin gave him just now, held the candy in front of Lu's father, opened a pair of big round eyes, and looked up at him curiously.

Father Lu smiled, stretched out his hand and touched Xiaoguang's head lovingly, and said with a smile: "The wife is virtuous and filial, there is a loving mother, and a good niece." Guoqiang, you are full of blessings!"

"Where, where—"

An Guoqiang hurriedly and modestly.

Grandma and Xiao Yu both laughed.

After a few laughs, Father Lu looked at An Guoqiang, who was actually full of suspicion, and said with a smile: "Guoqiang, you are probably thinking about what I want to do when I came over suddenly, right? Guoqiang, you have a good niece! As for me, I am very satisfied with your niece, and I came here today to propose a kiss to you, and to tell your niece to come over and be my son's daughter-in-law. ”

As soon as Father Lu's words came out, the room full of people suddenly fell silent.

Lu Zhongjun's expression seemed to be relieved, and then a trace of surprise surfaced, and he looked at Anna who was standing opposite.

Anna's heart skipped a slight beat, and she subconsciously looked at Lu Zhongjun. The two looked at each other.

Grandma and Xiao Yu glanced at each other, and Qi Qi set their eyes on An Guoqiang.

An Guoqiang was obviously stunned, and sat there without saying anything for a long time.

"Dad! Grandpa said that he wanted to tell his sister to be his son's daughter-in-law! Is my son my Uncle Lu? Okay, good! I like my sister to be Uncle Lu's daughter-in-law!"

Xiaoguang seems to understand whether he understands or not. Seeing that his father didn't react, he was a little anxious, so he hurriedly went over and pushed his arm.

Xiao Yu hurriedly brought Xiaoguang over and retreated with her grandmother first.

Anna, Lu Zhongjun and Lu Xiaolin also walked out, and only Lu's father and An Guoqiang were left in the living room.

……

An Guoqiang finally reacted, coughed dryly, barely showed a smile on his face, and said, "Old chief, what are you...... Make fun of your old men......"

Father Lu smiled and shook his head.

"Guoqiang, I know what you have in mind. The last time you came to see me, although you didn't say it explicitly, I also knew what you meant. Supposedly, I shouldn't force you. It's just that I'm really happy with your niece. People are inevitably a little selfish. Thinking that if such a good girl fell into someone else's house, I was really a little reluctant. After thinking about it, I simply came to the door today with a cheeky face. ”

"This ...... Old Chief...... Aren't you embarrassed by me......"

An Guoqiang looked embarrassed.

"Guoqiang, since I am talking about my son's family affairs, I naturally want to talk about my son. Xiaojun, he is indeed a muddy person, he does things without rules, and he has made a lot of mistakes before, so it's normal for you to look down on him. But it's not me, the protector of being a father, and he's not completely without sparkles. Pure Heart. That's what I say about him. But based on these alone, no matter how thick-skinned my old face is, I won't come to the door today. It made me decide to come and intercede with you because I knew that he really had a heart for your niece. The last time I talked to him, he told him to stop thinking about it. He said something to me. ”

Father Lu shook his head and sighed.

"He said that your niece is the first serious person he likes in his life, and she will be the last in his life. To be honest, I thought later, since this is the case, I, as a father, should also do something for my son. So I came here. ”

"This ......"

An Guoqiang couldn't say a word, only stunned.

"Guoqiang, I know that you love your niece, and I don't worry about handing her over to that unreliable son of my family easily. I'm here, I will make a promise to you, as long as you nod and agree to this family matter, your niece will not only be my Lu family's daughter-in-law in the future, but also my Lu Jianlin's daughter. I promise that when she arrives at my house, she will never be wronged in the slightest. You're relieved, aren't you?"

An Guoqiang fell silent.

The grandmother, who had been hiding on the side and eavesdropping, couldn't hold back anymore and walked over with a smile on her face.

"I'm the most senior in this family, and I have the final say. I admit this family business! Xiao Lu, the grandson-in-law, I have already taken a fancy to it! That's it!"

Father Lu nodded and thanked his grandmother. After thinking about it, he smiled again: "In this way, our two families will take advantage of the end of the year holiday now, and first sum up, how to arrange the engagement of the child, and determine the relationship between the in-laws first." As for when you get married, it's up to your family to decide, what do you think?"

"Okay!OK!No problem!" Grandma agreed, smiling, "Oh, this is great, it's the New Year, it's a happy event, and it's a double happiness!"

"Guoqiang?"

Father Lu looked at An Guoqiang, who had been silent, and called his name.

Facing his old boss who was looking at him, although An Guoqiang was still reluctant in his heart, but it had reached this point, and he couldn't say the word "no" anyway.

“…… Only...... Do as you say......"

An Guoqiang finally said reluctantly.
