Jiang Tingxia invited Zhang Ming's family into the house and poured three glasses of water for them. "Auntie, please have some water."

Zhang Mingniang picked up the phone, looked at Jiang Tingxia with envy, and said, "What a good daughter-in-law."

After saying that, he put down the cup and sighed, "My Zhang Ming is already 22 years old and still hasn't found a wife. I'm so worried about him."

She looked at Li Changpu and said, "I came here this time, firstly to thank you for saving my life, and secondly, I still want you to talk to Zhang Ming about his marriage problem."

Li Changpu knew Zhang Ming's family situation very well. There were seven older sisters in his family, and he was finally a boy. His mother was forty when she got him, and the whole family valued him very much. Zhang Ming's mother even came to the army to see him a long time ago and asked him to take care of Zhang Ming more. Then there was the issue of Zhang Ming's marriage. He remembered that Zhang Ming had just arrived to serve in the army when he was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but his mother was extremely anxious. She brought up the issue of Zhang Ming's marriage every time she saw him, and even wrote to her asking her to do ideological work on Zhang Ming. Later, perhaps because Zhang Ming was urged too much, he developed a rebellious mentality. Over the years, his family introduced him to dozens of candidates, but he was not satisfied with any of them.

Li Changpu had no choice but to say, "Auntie, now is a time of free love, and I can't make the decision on Zhang Ming's marriage."

Zhang Mingniang was very excited, "Why can't you be his master?"

After saying that, she pointed at the tall and strong young woman she brought with her, "I was scared when Zhang Ming got hurt this time. You know he's my only child, and I was worried about him. So, I found him a wife in my hometown, and let them get married here. I'll have my grandson in my arms, and I can close my eyes when I die."

The woman named by Zhang Mingniang was younger and had a strong body, but she was far less energetic than Zhang Mingniang. Instead, she lowered her head and looked confused.

Zhang Ming's mother continued, "I don't know what's wrong with Zhang Ming, he just goes against me. I've dated so many men over the years, but none of them are willing. This time I don't care what he thinks, I must get married, it's just..." Zhang Ming's mother paused, and then continued, "He doesn't listen to me, it's better for you to talk to him about this."

Li Changpu refused, "Auntie, you can't force the cow to drink water if it doesn't want to."

Zhang Mingniang: "Why not? You are his leader, so just give him orders. If he still refuses to get married, you can point a gun at him and tell him that you will kill him if he doesn't get married."

After hearing this, Sister Zhang Ming raised her head and said weakly, "We can only scare him, but we dare not really kill him."

The two of them sang the same tune, speaking as if Li Changpu could really put a gun to someone's head and force them to get married.

Looking at Li Changpu's indescribable expression, Jiang Tingxia pinched his arm and tried hard to hold back his laughter.

Li Changpu coughed and said, "Auntie, this won't do."

Zhang Mingniang seemed to be fuming. "This unfilial guy is still not married at the age of 22. He wants to piss off his mother to death. If not him, who else should I shoot?"

"Captain Li, don't you agree?"

When Li Changpu saw Zhang Mingniang asking him, he said, "Auntie, I got married at the age of 25."

Jiang Tingxia bit her lips and laughed in vibration mode.

Li Changpu saw Jiang Tingxia's shoulders shaking from laughing, and there was a bit of helplessness on his face.

Zhang Mingniang, who had been talking incessantly, suddenly stopped and didn't know what to say for a long time.

After a long while, he stammered, "You are... different from that boy..."

Li Changpu had no choice but to say, "Auntie, when it comes to marriage, he has to be willing to do it. I can't force him."

Zhang Ming's mother still had embarrassment on her face, and she spoke more slowly. "When I handed the child to you, I told you that you should spank him, scold him, and teach him a lesson. I have every confidence in you. You have the final say in his affairs. Besides, Zhang Ming really admires you. If you ask him to get married, he will definitely listen to you."

Zhang Mingniang said to the tall and strong woman again, "You come if you need a man."

The tall and strong woman walked over, and Zhang Ming's mother said to Li Changpu, "This child might be good at housework and outside work. After getting married, she can still take care of Zhang Ming. How great."

Li Changpu: "They can only live together if he is willing, right? This is the most important thing."

Zhang Ming's mother said to herself, "A daughter-in-law like this, who is diligent, capable, and knows everything about him, will definitely be able to get along with him. What else can Zhang Ming be dissatisfied with?"

"Yes."

Li Changpu saw that it was useless to object, so he said nothing and just sat aside and smiled apologetically, nodding and agreeing with a few unimportant things, but he would never agree to interfere in Zhang Ming's marriage. Seeing him like this, Zhang Ming's mother knew that there was no hope and she would have to fight that unfilial son herself. In the end, she had to get up and leave.

But before leaving, he asked Li Changpu for a favor.

Jiang Tingxia was listening on the side. It turned out that Zhang Ming had almost recovered from the operation and no longer needed to stay in the hospital. He would be transferred to the military hospital for recuperation in a few days. Zhang Ming's mother and elder sister came specifically to take care of Zhang Ming, but due to housing shortage, they had no place to live, so they asked Li Changpu for help.

When Jiang Tingxia heard this, he knew that Li Changpu would definitely agree, and sure enough.

Jiang Tingxia hugged the big dog. The little guy was so fluffy, and it felt warm and comfortable to hold him in her arms.

She murmured, "Why does he help everyone?"

No matter if it's his arrogant and picky newlywed wife, a kitten getting wet in the rain, or an old man who opens the door to find help, he will lend a hand. Although his face looks so cold, you can't tell that he is a kind person.

Jiang Tingxia stroked the fur on the big dog's head and said, "Be kind, it's good to be kind. Be kind to everyone."

……

When Zhang Ming was transferred back to the military hospital, Li Changpu, Zhao Yong, Ma Dawei and a group of leaders went to visit the wounded. While walking in the corridor, they heard the loud voice of Zhang Ming's mother.

"You said, if you don't want such a good girl like Qiannan, who do you want? What kind of person do you want? Tell me, I think you are going to heaven."

Zhang Ming was full of energy and seemed to have recovered well. "She is my cousin. Close relatives cannot marry. You would cry if I married her and gave birth to a bunch of idiots."

Zhang Mingniang: "They are distant relatives. Qiannan is the girl brought by the second wife of your grandfather's brother's son. She has nothing to do with you. Why did you give birth to a fool?"

Zhang Ming roared, "I just don't want it, no matter what I say."

Zhang Ming's elder sister tried to smooth things over: "Brother, you've made mother so angry. Just tell us what kind of person you want, and we'll find one for you, okay? You have to get married, mother is counting on you to have grandchildren, and she's getting old, isn't she in a hurry?"

Zhang Ming's voice softened, "I just want one... one that I can't take my eyes off of once I see it."

Sister Zhang Ming: "Beautiful? Brother, why are you like this? Can you eat and drink if you are beautiful? Your leader, Captain Li, said that the most important thing when marrying a wife is that the girl is a good person and that the two of you can live together. I think it's good enough for a man to be beautiful."

Zhang Ming blushed and simply covered himself with the quilt, "You don't understand, I won't tell you anymore."

Zhang Ming's mother was not happy. She hugged Zhang Ming, who was covered with a quilt, and said to Zhang Ming's elder sister with a hint of blame, "Why can't your brother like pretty girls? You can't believe everything Captain Li said. Look at how pretty his wife is. I think he is very cunning. He took the most beautiful one for himself and said cheap words. Let's find a good-looking one for my son. When I go back, I will look at all the girls in the surrounding area and pick the pretty one. Okay?"

Zhang Ming's mother winked at her elder sister. It had been so many days and it seemed that it was impossible to let Zhang Ming marry a poor girl. It would be better to go back and make new plans. He had finally asked for a pretty one. When introducing a girl to him, she would pick one that was good-looking and see what he would say.

Outside the door, Zhao Yong and his companions were almost laughing like crazy after hearing what Zhang Mingniang said.

Zhao Yong patted Li Changpu on the shoulder, chuckled, and said jokingly, "Old Li, if you say one thing and do another, you will be in trouble sooner or later. Look, the people can see through your hypocrisy at a glance."
