Chapter 179: Soft Rice, Hmm, So Delicious
In fact, when I first joined the army, I hated my later self very much. That was because I was full of passion at that time and disdained such opportunistic and pretentious behavior. I believed that as long as I was strong enough, I would be able to carve out a world of my own.
But later he was demobilized and went to the local area, which was very different from the army. At first, he used the military ways to get along with people, but later he gradually found that it was simply not working. For several years in a row, his subordinates were hypocritical and his superiors were lukewarm towards him.
Later, he gradually realized the difference between the army and the local area, and then he changed. He became less serious and meticulous, and began to become more tactful. He talked many times with his former comrades who had gone to the local area, and he gradually learned the art of speaking.
It was also from that time that Yuan Mu was no longer Yuan Mu. He became a completely new Yuan Mu, the person he once looked down upon.
But it was precisely because he changed that his career began to rise steadily. He had strong abilities and extensive connections, and he worked his way up from deputy director of a local police station to captain of the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Provincial Public Security Department.
Pulling his thoughts back to his mind, Mr. Zhou was very satisfied with Yuan Mu's attitude. It seemed that the other party had realized his mistake and nodded slowly.
"Xiao Yuan, don't be so nervous. You are a good comrade if you can admit your mistakes and correct them. Come, have some tea." As he said that, Mr. Zhou picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Yuan Mu, who quickly took it with both hands.
Seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down, Zhou Xiaobai felt a little embarrassed. It was really embarrassing that her parents had heard what she said, so she turned around and ran back to her bedroom.
After giving Mr. Zhou a look, Zhou's mother turned around and went to the kitchen, leaving Mr. Zhou and Yuan Mu alone in the living room.
"Xiao Yuan, actually I have already noticed that Xiaobai likes you. Your aunt and I personally have no objection to this. In my eyes, there is no class distinction. You are outstanding enough and worthy of my daughter. I wonder what you think?" Old Zhou picked up the teacup and spoke slowly.
In fact, he didn't want to continue talking about this matter, but the topic has come to this point. The matter has been laid out in the open. There is no point in hiding it anymore. He might as well ask the other party what he thinks. If Xiao Yuan can really be with his daughter, he will also have his mind at ease.
Although I say I am not anxious about my daughter's marriage, how can I not be anxious in my heart? My daughter is not young anymore. She will be 30 after the Chinese New Year. Although she will not have trouble finding a husband, it will be harder to find a suitable one as she gets older.
Not to mention that this candidate is satisfactory to the three members of their family, which is even more rare. Although he may seem to be too eager, he is not the kind of person who is so fussy about details.
Yuan Mu was speechless again. He thought that the next plot would be that Mr. Zhou would continue to educate him, and he would listen patiently and carefully. Who would have thought that after going in circles, he would end up back to this topic.
"Uncle Zhou, I..." Yuan Mu looked embarrassed.
"Hey! Xiao Yuan, don't have any psychological burden. Now I'm just a father of a daughter, not a commander, and you shouldn't treat me as a commander. Don't worry, no matter what choice you make, my opinion of you will not change." Old Zhou interrupted Yuan Mu and said.
If it were possible now, Yuan Mu really wanted to roll his eyes at Mr. Zhou. You've already said the words, what else can I say? You want me to not treat you as the commander? Is that possible? Aren't you reminding me in disguise that you are the commander of the Kyoto Military Region?
Will your opinion not change? I don't think so! Now that we've come to this point, if I refuse, wouldn't that be a loss of face for you? When I leave this door, I guess the only thing left between the two sides is the favor. Maybe the other party will still help me, but this favor will eventually run out, right?
But this feeling is quite wonderful. It reminds me of the TV series "In the Name of People" that I watched in my previous life. There is a clip in this TV series where Qi Tongwei kneels down on the playground to propose to Liang Lu, who is ten years older than him, for his own future.
However, there is a fundamental difference between the two. First of all, Mr. Zhou did not oppress or threaten me. Zhou Xiaobai was not ten years older than me, only three years older. As the saying goes, a woman three years older than a man is bound to bring wealth!
Moreover, Zhou Xiaobai is beautiful and has a good family background. Her family is extremely satisfied with her. She had never thought about it before, but now that she thinks about it, it seems really good. If she really marries Zhou Xiaobai, then her future will be secure.
As for the issue of feelings, Yuan Mu believes that this is not a problem. Feelings can be cultivated. His wife in his previous life was also introduced by someone, and the feelings were also cultivated later. He does not have any high requirements for women in this regard. It is best to have one, but it is also okay if not. He is not like some officials who cannot walk when seeing a woman.
So Yuan Mu raised his head and looked at Mr. Zhou with a serious expression.
"Uncle Zhou, I have to tell you the truth. I have never thought about Xiaobai and I in that way. At the beginning, it might be because I felt that there was a big difference between her and me, just like you criticized me."
"But after you criticized me, I felt that this idea was indeed wrong. But if I said now that I liked Xiaobai, I would definitely be deceiving you. How could I like her when I have never thought about it this way?"
"But Xiaobai is indeed an ideal partner. She is beautiful, kind, honest, and dares to love and hate. To be honest, it would be an honor for me, Yuan Mu, to be with Xiaobai. As we say in Northeast China, it would be a great honor for our ancestors."
Yuan Mu’s words made Mr. Zhou laugh.
"Hey! You two are doing this for each other, stop belittling yourselves like that!"
"Yes!" Yuan Mu agreed with a smile.
"But Uncle Zhou, we haven't had any contact in that regard. I personally think we should give it a try first. After all, if we don't try, no one knows if it's suitable. If you and your aunt agree, I'm willing to try dating Xiaobai."
"Of course, the main purpose is to let Xiaobai try me out and see if I am suitable for her. As for me, I don't have much to say. In fact, I have a lot of problems. Sometimes I can't take care of anything else when I'm working. I'm afraid Xiaobai will be wronged."
"Hey! What's the big deal? I used to work day and night. Your aunt nagged me many times, but we are all doing revolutionary work, so we should focus on work. Of course, we can't neglect our family. It depends on how you adjust yourself." Old Zhou waved his hand.
