270: Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian are engaged.

"My Granddaughter is still young, we're not talking about marriage yet."

Grandma Xiao knew exactly what these people were thinking.

Lu Jing was also being questioned by these Aunts and Grandmas at this time.

"Xiao Lu, do you have a potential partner yet? Auntie knows a good girl who works at a state-run factory in the city..."

"Comrade Lu, the match I'm introducing is better than hers..."

Lu Jing was already a bit uncomfortable hearing these people introduce potential partners to Niannian. He didn't expect that their target also included him.

Hearing these words, his gaze turned to Niannian, his heart stirred, and he spoke.

"Comrade Xiao and I have a marriage contract."

He said 'have a marriage contract,' not 'are dating.'

Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing in shock.

When did she have a marriage contract with Lu Jing?

The Grandmas and Aunts in the room also looked at Lu Jing in surprise.

Some of them knew Lu Jing, but had only seen him once or twice. They heard Lu Jing was a Battalion Commander, but they didn't know which regiment. They only knew that Lu Jing, at his age, was extremely outstanding.

Grandma Xiao had always vaguely felt that this kid Lu Jing had a bit of a thing for Niannian.

At first, she wondered if she had guessed wrong, but it turned out to be true.

However, in the past year, she had met so many people in the Military Unit, and Lu Jing was arguably the best among them.

People like Xu Yang simply couldn't compare to Lu Jing.

"You forgot, Old Chief Gu and Grandma Gu, and my Grandparents, arranged it."

Xiao Niannian blinked when she heard this.

She had heard Grandma Gu say that her Grandparents and Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu had been good Comrades-in-arms for decades, and their relationship was incredibly good.

She had returned in a hurry this time, otherwise she would have met Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu.

"Comrade Xiao and Comrade Lu have a marriage contract?"

An Aunt clearly didn't believe it.

Grandma Xiao was also annoyed by their constant attempts to set up Lu Jing, and now they were even eyeing her Granddaughter.

If her Granddaughter were to be set up, Lu Jing would, of course, be the best. Now that Xiao Jing had said so, she would go along with it. As for whether her Granddaughter and Lu Jing would actually get together, that was another matter.

This would also save some trouble, and these people wouldn't keep coming every few days to try and set up her Granddaughter. Her Granddaughter was only twenty years old now, and it was the time to work hard.

Who said girls had to marry early? Her Granddaughter could also make a name for herself in the Military Unit.

"Yes, they have a marriage contract," Grandma Xiao affirmed.

Xiao Niannian understood her Grandma's and Lu Jing's intentions when she heard her Grandma's words.

She didn't object to them saying this; after all, she wasn't losing anything. It could stop these match-making Grandmas and Aunts from bothering her and Lu Jing. Saying they had a marriage contract was fine.

This could also save a lot of trouble.

Cheng Yu also understood her Godmother's and Captain Lu's intentions and immediately began persuading these Aunts and Sister-in-laws, quickly leading them out of the courtyard.

Seeing these people leave, Grandma Xiao looked at Lu Jing.

"Grandma, Niannian, this matter is indeed true."

"Grandma believes you," Grandma Xiao said, looking at Xiao Niannian.

"Grandma, this is quite good. At least for a short time, they won't think about trying to arrange marriages for me and Brother Lu, and we can live peacefully. When I go to the Military Academy, I'm thinking if I can apply to bring you along..."

"Grandma is doing very well here. Your Aunts are taking excellent care of Grandma. When you go to Military Academy, Grandma can return to our old home to live... You don't have to worry about Grandma..."

Xiao Niannian thought of Xiao Dong and his spouse's situation and decided to tell Grandma about it.

"Grandma, Xiao Dong and his spouse have been sent to a farm in the north..."

Grandma Xiao was stunned when she heard her Granddaughter's words.

After a moment of silence, she said.

"That's good too. After a few years there, when they return, they might be able to turn over a new leaf..."

Xiao Niannian knew that Grandma still had some feelings for Xiao Dong and his spouse. But what Xiao Dong and his spouse did was too malicious.

All the money sent by Adoptive Father's Comrades-in-arms was swallowed by Xiao Dong, who also demanded money from Uncle Wang and others in Grandma's name... Xiao Dong and his spouse even wanted to sell her to the ruffian Wang Dazhuang... Not to mention how they previously used her to threaten Grandma and occupied Adoptive Father's house, committing countless evil deeds.

"Niannian, Grandma has already cut ties with him. From now on, Grandma will not interfere in their affairs..."

Capital City.

"Mom and Dad."

"Have you seen Niannian?"

"Boss, where's Niannian? Quickly let us call her."

On the other end of the phone, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu spoke excitedly, their words full of concern for Xiao Niannian.

"Mom and Dad, I met Aunt Xiao, and I also saw the cotton-padded jacket and baby blanket Auntie found Niannian in, as well as a wooden bracelet... I've seen this wooden bracelet on my wife... Mom and Dad, Niannian really is my daughter..."

"What?"

A gasp came from the other end of the phone.

Chief Gu heard something fall to the ground.

"Mom and Dad, are you alright?"

On the other end of the phone, the voice of the housemaid sounded.

"It's nothing, your Mom and Dad were too excited just now and knocked things off the table."

Grandma Gu's voice rang out, filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"Boss, is what you said true? Is Niannian really our Granddaughter?"

"Absolutely true. Your son will bring back the drawing of the wooden bracelet Niannian made, and then you and Dad can see it... Your son definitely wouldn't mistake it..."

"Good, good, good, that's really great... Where's Niannian? Quickly let her talk to Mom and Dad..."

"Mom and Dad, let's talk to her tonight. She's at home right now, not here."

"Good, good, good. You must thank Sister-in-law Xiao properly... Your Dad and I will go to Yangcheng in a few days to thank her in person..."

In the evening, Xiao Niannian helped Grandma to the two-story Western-style house.

Chief Gu had already sent people to buy many dishes, two of which were braised, and the rest were cooked by him.

"Auntie, Niannian, Xiao Lu, come and sit."

After dinner, Chief Gu spoke to Grandma Xiao about finding his daughter-in-law and Grandchildren.

"Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely help you find your daughter-in-law and Grandchildren, so your family can be reunited..."

He could never repay Grandma Xiao's kindness in this lifetime. Grandma Xiao now had only this one wish, and he must do everything possible to help find them.

"Okay, thank you, Xiao Gu..."

Grandma Xiao was extremely excited when she heard this.

They were just ordinary people; finding a daughter-in-law and Grandchildren was not an easy task. But Xiao Gu was a Corps Commander, a very high-ranking official. If he stepped forward to help search, it would be much easier than her and Niannian searching on their own.

"Auntie, my Mom and Dad want to talk to you on the phone."

Hearing Chief Gu's words, Grandma Xiao nodded.

She had already spoken to Old Chief Gu and Sister-in-law Gu twice.

"Okay."
