Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1099: Chapter 1100: Speaking Honestly

Hearing that the old master still has a lost sister he can’t find, the atmosphere in the living room became a little heavy.

”Dad, stop it, we have guests here,” Cheng Yaozong could only comfort him.

”Right, look at me, I’ve lost my manners!” The old master slapped his forehead and laughed awkwardly.

”Old Master, you just miss your family.” Cheng Su smiled and asked, ”Can I have another look at the photo?”

”Of course!” The old master handed over the photo.

Cheng Su looked at it. The woman in the photo seemed to be about eighteen or nineteen, wearing those student outfits from the Republic of China era, with short hair, curved eyebrows, slightly pursed lips, and a slightly raised chin. You could tell she was quite proud and confident.

Does she look like me? Not at all!

But as she looked at the woman, Cheng Su felt a strange sensation inside. Before she could figure out what it was, the hall suddenly became noisy.

She looked up to see a young man of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight walk in, wearing shorts and a t-shirt, holding a basketball in his hand.

”Hey, there’s a guest!” Cheng Yaozu immediately noticed Cheng Su sitting on the sofa.

”Look at you, there’s a guest, and you’re dressed like this! Covered in sweat, go wash up and change before you come out again!” The old master scolded.

Cheng Yaozu shrugged, waved at Cheng Su, and ran upstairs.

”Sorry you had to see that, that’s our fourth child, he’s called Yaozu,” the old master explained to Cheng Su with a tone of helplessness.

Yaozong, Yaozu, Cheng Su said to herself and blurted out, ”Could it be that you have four sons named for bringing glory to the ancestors?”

”Oh, you’re a smart girl, aren’t you? That’s exactly it, four rascals bringing glory to the ancestors!” The old master chuckled and continued, ”The eldest is a chief in the provincial government, the third is in academia, the second is in business, and the fourth, the most unreliable one, is just idling with his second brother now.”

This was practically revealing the family’s background to Cheng Su, seemingly wanting to treat her as a friend.

Both Cheng Su and Cheng Yaozong thought so.

Cheng Su felt strange, wondering if it was simply because her personality resembled his sister’s that she was being treated so warmly?

Isn’t this a bit too casual, like a cheat in life!

”Old Master, you are truly fortunate, all your sons have become successful, many people must envy you!” Cheng Su complimented with a smile.

”That’s true, my old comrades didn’t fare as well as I did. I have more sons, haha,” the old master laughed heartily, then sighed, ”But it’s a pity that I still can’t find my sister, so the family can’t be reunited.”

”Life is full of disappointments, Old Master, take it easy. You need to keep exercising and aim to live for many more decades. If Grandma Cheng were still alive, there would always be a day for reunion!” Cheng Su laughed.

”Wouldn’t that make me an old monster? But you’re right, I should aim to live a few more years!” The old master said, ”None of my sons followed in my footsteps to become a soldier. Now I just watch to see if my grandson can become an officer.”

”That will surely happen,” Cheng Su flattered, ”The genes are right there, there’s no reason not to achieve that!”

The old master laughed heartily, ”Right, no reason. By the way, just now I seemed to hear you say that you and your husband live in the army. Is your husband also a soldier?”

They had laid bare their family background, so there was no reason to hide anything anymore. Cheng Su nodded and said, ”He’s in the Qing City Military Region Army Corps, currently a deputy battalion commander, named Qi Taiguo.” Building connections requires honesty.

The old master and Cheng Yaozong were surprised, then smiled and said, ”What a small world, your husband is in the military region, and I have a grandson who joined the army too. One big family, one big family.”

”No,” Cheng Su said, ”No food, no acquaintance!”

Everyone laughed.
