Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1137: Chapter 1137: Meeting

Da Biao looked at the two of them, "Now that I’m retired, I don’t go on missions anymore. With the old leaders up top urging me, I just thought about settling down."

"I understand your concerns, and I can’t give any guarantees, but under normal circumstances, I’ll always be a coach at the garrison."

The couple exchanged a glance because the young woman was anxiously pleading with them.

Mom stood up. "Comrade Da Biao, please have a seat. Our family will go in and discuss this."

"Please go ahead."

Huang Xiaoqing stood up as well, but when entering the room, she glanced back at Da Biao.

The family entered the inner room, and Mr. Huang lowered his voice. "Xiaoqin, you know we don’t want you to find someone like this. So why did you choose someone like him?"

Huang Xiaoqing looked at her parents pleadingly. "Mom, Dad. I fell for him at first sight. I know what you think. But I also want days filled with my own happiness.

Yes, listening to you and finding an ordinary person would mean living a life just like yours. It’s too bland and tasteless. I want to live with the person I love."

"You two just met. Do you even know what ’love’ means?"

"Dad, I believe in love at first sight."

Mr. Huang looked at the young woman’s expression and didn’t know what to say either.

Huang Xiaoqing continued, "Mom, Dad, now Da Biao won’t be in dangerous work. He’ll always be a counselor at the suburban garrison."

"But if you two marry, you won’t be able to live together."

"There’ll definitely be a way by then. Plus, he’s an orphan, with no parents and no surname.

In the future, when we marry and have children, they’ll carry the Huang surname."

She understood her parents’ concerns. Her mother nearly lost her life giving birth to her, and couldn’t have more children.

"Mom, Dad, he has no home, so this will be his home from now on. Isn’t this what you initially intended by inviting a son-in-law to live here?

Plus, he’s upright; in my eyes, he’s a hero, and I want to live with someone like that."

The couple heard the young woman’s words and seriously considered them. Indeed, Da Biao had his virtues. Now, both were moved.

Huang Xiaoqing understood her parents. "Mom, Dad, I truly like Da Biao. I want to spend my life with him, and I know he’ll be good to me in the future."

Mom sighed. "Then that’s fine. As long as you’re willing."

Huang Xiaoqing’s eyes reddened with happiness. She truly fell for Da Biao at first sight.

Mr. Huang coughed lightly. "But clear explanations are still necessary."

Huang Xiaoqing nodded. "Mom, Dad, I’ll speak with Da Biao."

Da Biao waited outside, feeling a little anxious. He didn’t know what love at first sight was, but after spending so much time together, he felt this girl was really quite nice.

However, it seemed like her family wasn’t too willing. There had to be a way to persuade them, as it was rare to find someone you mutually like.

His senses were exceptionally keen, and although the family of three lowered their voices, he still heard them.

Thinking about what Huang Xiaoqing said, he didn’t have any objections. Whatever would be fine, as he didn’t have a home. Wouldn’t his wife’s home be his home? And about the children’s surname, that was even less of a problem. He didn’t even know his own surname. What was the issue if the child took the mother’s surname?

Moreover, these two elders only had Huang Xiaoqing as a daughter, and they’d definitely need them to care for them when they grew old.

The family of three emerged. Huang Xiaoqing’s eyes were glistening, surely from tears shed moments ago. If a woman could fight for this, why couldn’t he?

Da Biao stood up as well, and Huang Xiaoqing walked to face him.

"I want to ask you a few things, see if you agree?"

Da Biao nodded. "Go ahead."

"If we end up together, how will you treat my parents in the future?"

Da Biao looked at the family of three seriously. "Of course I’ll be good to my in-laws. After all, they raised my wife. I have no parents, no memories of interacting with elders. But I’ll certainly respect them."

The Huang family couple nodded; this was fine. Actually, from the beginning, they had thought about inviting a son-in-law to live here, but their daughter was quite opposed. Later, the couple grew to accept the idea.

However, Mr. Huang surely hoped his surname would be carried on. Actually, Da Biao was pretty good; he didn’t even know his own surname. The Huang surname suited him best.

Mr. Huang had thought it through; now, looking at Da Biao, he only saw goodness in him.

Huang Xiaoqing asked again, "After we get married, if we have children, can they take the Huang surname?"

Without hesitation, Da Biao nodded. "Of course there’s no problem. I don’t even know my own surname. Isn’t Huang the best choice?

Don’t fret about such trivialities; to me, these are small matters. In my perception, a couple should live life listening to the wife."

This pleased Mom. Mainly, Da Biao’s remark about listening to the wife really satisfied her.

Now Huang Xiaoqing felt a lot more at ease. The three points her parents were most concerned about had all been addressed, except for the work danger, which nobody could confirm or decide.

"Is there anything else?" Da Biao asked.

"Da Biao, where will you two live after you get together?"

Da Biao thought it over. "The garrison will definitely allocate a room for me. However, since we both have jobs, driving back every day isn’t realistic. I estimate I’ll only return once or twice a week.

I’ll definitely buy a house here, but I’m thinking Xiaoqin should stay with you two seniors, although the house will definitely be ready."

The two elders were satisfied. Their concerns had vanished. Maybe Da Biao really was the most suitable son-in-law for their family.

The couple exchanged a glance. Mr. Huang spoke, "Alright, we agree to the matter between you two. But we hope you’ll take care of yourself."

Da Biao nodded. "Thank you, Uncle and Aunt, for fulfilling this. I can guarantee everything else except what was said just now. I’m just one person; my mission is to protect my country. Though now I’m a coach, if one day the battlefield calls for me, I’ll go without hesitation."

The two elders sighed. They knew it too, being cultured people, aware of national concerns. But when it involved their only daughter, they were still selfish.

Mr. Huang nodded. "We understand, but remember, you have responsibilities behind you, a wife and children."

Da Biao nodded. "I know, I’ve been through wind and rain for over ten years. I understand the meaning of life."

"Good, we agree."

Da Biao respectfully saluted. "Rest assured, I’ll use my honor to guarantee I’ll be good to Xiaoqin. I’ll do my best to be a good husband, father, and son-in-law."

Mr. Huang stood up, happily nodded. "Good, we trust you, and we hope you will be loving and affectionate for a lifetime."
