Chapter 344: Furious Jiang Defu

Soon a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner was ready. Although Li Zhicheng had been watching from the side, he was still as shocked as his wife when he saw the table full of delicious New Year's Eve dinner.

Li Qianqian smiled and twitched her nostrils, then said in surprise, "It smells so good! Brother Jiang, your cooking must be delicious!"

"Haha, let's try it!"

After hearing Suning's laughter, Li Zhicheng and his family of three began to try it. Li Zhicheng's wife thoughtfully added more dishes to Li Qianqian, and the three of them were even more surprised after eating.

"Changyi, your cooking skills are quite good! They're as good as the food in big restaurants!"

"Auntie, if you like it, eat more." Su Ning was also very confident in his cooking skills. "If I hadn't been able to become a soldier, I would have planned to become a chef."

"Well! If you were a chef, you would definitely be at the level of a state banquet chef." Li Zhicheng couldn't help but praise while eating the delicious food.

"Haha, what uncle said is really golden." Hearing the affirmation from the big boss, Su Ning couldn't help but be overjoyed. "When I get old and retire from the army, I will open a restaurant."

"You little brat! You're only in your early twenties and already thinking about retirement after you turn sixty." Li Zhicheng and his wife looked at Su Ning with a sneer. "I don't know whether to say you're good at planning your life or that you're just daydreaming."

It was rare for Li Qianqian to see her parents so happy. It felt like their family hadn't been so happy for a long time. She was actually quite curious about this older brother who was not related to her by blood.

Although Li Qianqian herself had a good impression of Suning, but after hearing the description of his appearance from her parents and nanny Xiaolin, Li Qianqian could easily conjure up an image of a "charcoal-haired" man in her mind, so she thought it was too horrible to describe.

The Li family was very happy on New Year's Eve and was quite satisfied with the food. After Suning cleaned up the dishes and took care of everything, he went to bed in the Li family's guest room.

Looking at Suning busying around, the old couple Li Zhicheng were also very happy. When they returned to the master bedroom to sleep, they were still recalling the happiness of their family today.

"My dear, what do you think of Changyi?" Li Zhicheng suddenly looked at his wife.

"He's quite good! He's humorous, sensible, and most importantly, very capable." Li Zhicheng's wife said what words she could think of, and then she couldn't help but envy Jiang Defu. "I don't know what good fortune Jiang Defu had in his previous life to have such an outstanding son. I also heard that his other five children are also very good."

"Yeah! Old Jiang is so lucky!" Li Zhicheng couldn't help but sigh and envy, "Wife, what if we marry our daughter Xixi to Changyi?"

"What? Old Li, are you crazy?" Li Zhicheng's wife suddenly sat up excitedly, "Xixi is only seventeen years old this year, and Jiang Changyi is already twenty-three, that's a full six years difference.

Humph! You're such a thinker! "

"Haha! What's wrong with being a little older?" Hearing his wife's concerns, Li Zhicheng shook his head disapprovingly and continued, "It's just right that she can take care of our Xixi."

"Huh!" Li Zhicheng's wife scoffed at his idea. "If we really just want to find someone to take care of Xixi, then we might as well just find a nanny for her.

But are you looking for another husband for our Sissi, or another nanny?"

"Hey! I know you look down on Changyi's background and his looks." Li Zhicheng knew exactly what his wife was thinking, "But Changyi is so capable!
Plus, Xixi has poor eyesight, so she doesn't really care about Changyi's appearance."

"This..." Li Zhicheng's wife was also a little entangled at this time, "Huh! Didn't you say that Changyi is a thoughtful kid?
Aren't you worried that if we both go to see Marx, Chang Yi will mistreat our daughter?"

"Haha, you're just worrying too much." Li Zhicheng was even more indifferent to his wife's worries. "Chang Yi is a thoughtful person, but he's definitely not a fool.

Even if both of us are gone, the connections and resources left by the Li family are still there. Do you really think that my decades of hard work are meaningless?
If he wants to bully Sissi, he should first consider his own weight."

"This"

"Also, I think Changyi is not close to the Jiang family. If he wants to really make a fortune in the future, Jiang Defu won't be able to give him much help.

As long as he marries into our Li family, with the Li family's resources and connections, he will definitely be able to soar to the sky."

"Marry into the wife's family?" Li Zhicheng's wife couldn't help but brighten up her eyes.

"Yes! Haha, you really thought I wouldn't be on guard against him." Seeing his wife completely moved, Li Zhicheng smiled confidently, "As long as Jiang Changyi marries into our Li family, he will be inseparable from the Li family for the rest of his life, and the things you worry about will never happen."

"Well! If you want him to marry into your family, then I can consider it.

But I still don't like his looks. What if he and Sissi's child looks like him?"

"Haha, there's no rush." Li Zhicheng was amused by his wife's ridiculous worry, and then expressed his own plan, "I still want to continue observing Changyi's temperament and abilities. After all, we have only been with him for so short a time."

"Yes! That's exactly what we should do."

In February 1978, Suning bought a train ticket directly from Ningbo to Changsha, and then boarded the school that was the ladder to his own success. Suning believed that four years later, he would definitely have the strength to soar to the sky.

Suning had to transfer at Hangzhou Station, a journey of nearly ten hours in total, which allowed Suning to experience the slow pace of the "green train" in this period drama.

After sending Suning on the train, Li Zhicheng called Jiang Defu, who was far away on the island, as soon as he returned to the Li family, and informed him of a belated good news.

"Hey, Lao Jiang! I have some good news for you!"

"Old Li, what good news?" Jiang Defu on the other end of the phone had already guessed it.

"Haha, your Jiang family's eldest son, Jiang Changyi, was admitted to the National University of Defense Technology with a perfect score of 400."

"What?" Although he already had a guess in his mind, Jiang Defu still couldn't help but scream when he heard the news from Li Zhicheng.

"Haha, what a surprise!" Li Zhicheng could certainly understand Jiang Defu's shock. "Jiang Defu, I've helped your family raise a university student. How are you going to thank me?"

"Haha, next time you come to Green Island, I'll treat you to Western food."

"Tsk! Only a country bumpkin like you is interested in that stuff. I, Old Li, don't like it." Li Zhicheng really couldn't understand why Jiang Defu preferred Western food.

"Eh? So what do you want, old man?"

"Haha, it's actually very simple." Li Zhicheng waited for Jiang Defu to say this, and then immediately stated his request, "Let Jiang Changyi come to my house and be my son-in-law."

"What? Old Li, you're so smart." "What's wrong? Are you reluctant?"

"Humph! You're really good at thinking of good things!" Jiang Defu was also stunned by Li Zhicheng's request. "Let's not even talk about whether I, as your father, agree or not. Jiang Changyi alone won't agree to it."

"Haha, you don't have to worry about that." Li Zhicheng said disapprovingly about Jiang Defu pushing the matter onto Jiang Su Ning, "Anyway, I believe Chang Yi is a smart kid. He definitely understands the benefits of marrying into our Li family."

"Hmph! Then what the hell are you talking about?" Jiang Defu hung up the phone angrily.

Seeing Jiang Defu, who was so happy when he answered the phone just now, suddenly changed his expression inexplicably, An Jie was also confused, "What's wrong? Wasn't he so happy just now?"

"Humph! I was almost pissed off to death by Lao Li."

"Old Li? Li Zhicheng from Ningbo?"

"Yeah! That old bastard!" Jiang Defu suddenly felt a tingling sensation when Li Zhicheng's name was mentioned. "Back when we were playing basketball at the Artillery School, I should have just run him over and killed him!
This Anhui guy is so despicable!"

"Haha, look how angry I am!" Looking at Jiang Defu acting so childishly, An Jie shook his head and smiled bitterly, "What's going on?"

"Hey! Old Li said Changyi got into the National Defense University with a perfect score of 400."

"Ah? Jiang Changyi really got into university!" An Jie was so surprised that he was speechless.

"Ok!"

"Haha, then you should be happy!" Anjie reacted quickly and said with a forced smile, "Why are you suddenly so angry?"

"Old Li, that bastard, actually wanted Chang Yi to be his live-in son-in-law."

"Huh? What?"

Jiang Defu looked at the surprised An Jie, then realized that An Jie had never seen Li Zhicheng's daughter. "An Jie, it seems you have never seen Old Li's daughter. He is also considered an old man who had a daughter. She is only seventeen years old this year, but she has been blind since she was a child."

"Oh no!"

"Ah! Mr. and Mrs. Li are so unlucky!" Jiang Defu couldn't help but sigh at this. "Back when they were in the artillery school, they suffered a lot because of infertility. After graduation, they were assigned to Ningbo. They finally had a daughter, but she was blind."

"Old Jiang, it wouldn't be bad if Changyi really married into the Li family. After all, Li Zhicheng is the only child, so won't the Li family rely on Changyi in the future?"

"What?" Jiang Defu's eyes widened in shock. He looked at his wife, with whom he had slept for decades, and suddenly felt so unfamiliar. "An Jie, what kind of bullshit are you talking about?"

"Old Jiang, why are you so excited? Aren't we talking about something?"

"An Jie, are you talking about something?" Jiang Defu stared at An Jie with his big eyes. "Jiang Changyi married into the Li family, so my grandson will have to change his surname to Li and will never be able to hold his head up in the Li family. Don't you, An Jie, understand this?"

"Old Jiang, can you be more rational?" An Jie also realized that he had touched Jiang Defu's sore spot, and quickly pushed everything onto Jiang Changyi, "This matter is not up to us to decide. Can you really make the decision for Jiang Changyi?
You heard about his admission to university from other people, right?"

"Humph! If Jiang Changyi dares to become the Li family's son-in-law, I will no longer recognize him as my son."

"You..." An Jie looked at the furious Jiang Defu and shook his head helplessly, "Ah! What a stubborn donkey!"

Jiang Yafei and others also heard the quarrel between their parents, and of course they also knew the cause and effect from the intermittent quarrels. They didn't care about whether the son-in-law married into the family or not, they were all shocked that Suning was admitted to university.

"Yafei, big brother is so awesome!"

"Yeah! He's really strong!"

Li Zhicheng had anticipated Jiang Defu's rage, but he felt that he had Jiang Defu and his son in his grasp and did not think that Suning would escape from his "Five Finger Mountain".

"Why? That stubborn Jiang Defu refused?"

"Hehe, does it make sense for him to refuse?"

"Huh? Even though he says that, he is still Jiang Changyi's father!"

"Haha, don't worry!" Li Zhicheng seemed confident about his wife's worries. "I've already figured out how to deal with this stubborn donkey."

"Oh? How are you going to appease Jiang Defu?"

"Heh, didn't Jiang Defu object?

Then let's make him suffer in silence!" Li Zhicheng was so proud at this moment, like a charlatan who had calculated everything. "Haha, let's shut Jiang Defu's mouth first."

"Ah? Tell me quickly how you plan to shut him up?" Looking at Li Zhicheng who was keeping him in suspense, Li Zhicheng's wife said unhappily.

"Haha, hasn't Jiang Defu always been hopeless about getting promoted?" Li Zhicheng looked at his anxious wife and said with a smile, "Then I'll help him move to a new position. Then, no matter how angry he is, he won't dare to vent it on me, Old Li."

"Ah? Lao Li, your trick is too vicious."

"Haha, no ruthlessness, no courage!" Li Zhicheng said nonchalantly, "For our daughter, Xixi, I, Li Zhicheng, can risk anything."

Suning looked at Changsha in the 1970s and did not see any ancient buildings worth appreciating. It is said that the once magnificent ancient city of Changsha was burned down during the Anti-Japanese War, and the Changsha city in front of him now was rebuilt later.

Suning took the bus directly to the National University of Defense Technology, and then went through a series of admission procedures. After he had completely settled down at the National University of Defense Technology, he was already a real military academy student.

There are many magical rumors about this place on the Internet in later generations, all of which illustrate the fighting spirit and ideals of the National University of Defense Technology in safeguarding national defense. Suning still feels very honored to be a part of the National University of Defense Technology.

Although he came to the military academy, his military status was still retained and it was also considered a form of service, so Suning was still a pure soldier.

Taking root in national defense and making achievements is Suning's motto. Suning is willing to dedicate his whole life to it, which can be regarded as fulfilling his dream and obsession of defending the country.
