Chapter 20 No Meaning Is Just An Opinion

  Two young people, because of their increasing common language, chatted enthusiastically, and the time seemed to pass very quickly. Before they knew it, it was already time for lunch. Not far away, He Lijin called out, and then Feng Sicheng and He Shasha returned together to the dining room in the villa. Here, Old He and General Zhao were already seated in their own positions.

  "Grandfather, Zhao grandfather." Xie ShaSha was extremely polite and called out first, then sat down beside Old He, habitually fiddling with the delicate small dishes and chopsticks in front of Old He. It could be seen that she had done this set of actions many times before and was very accustomed to it.

  "Hello, Grandpa He and Grandfather." Feng Sicheng also very politely bowed deeply to the two elderly men, before standing in the position beside Zhao Zhongjiang.

  "Alright, Xiao Zhe, sit down quickly. We don't have so many formalities in our home." He Lijin personally took on the role of a server, carrying a plate of dishes in her hands as she walked over.

  Feng Siche nodded and said thank you, then politely sat down beside General Zhao. In response to Feng Siche's reaction, He Lao silently nodded in approval. The young man was not arrogant, did things calmly and had a sense of propriety, most importantly, he knew his place, which was rare.

  "Hmm, Little Zhe, I saw you and Sasha chatting in the backyard earlier. What were you talking about?" He Lijuan asked Feng Sichao as soon as he sat down. To be honest, he had a good impression of Feng Sichao too - such a handsome young man with a good family background and excellent academic achievements was indeed worthy of his niece. Coincidentally, Sasha's parents were not in Kyoto at the moment, so he, as her aunt, would take care of things for them.

  He Shasha's father is currently the deputy commander of the Central Plains Military Region, a 1949 native and the same age as the Republic. It is indeed rare for a 41-year-old deputy commander to rely on his father He Lao's relationship, but it cannot be said that he himself does not have certain abilities, otherwise, mud cannot be supported on the wall.

  His mother Li Qiujun is the director of the second disciplinary inspection room of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, at the level of a regular department, and has gone to Kyoto to handle a case.

  Brother He Wei is serving as deputy regimental commander in a certain unit of the Southern Military Region and is also not in Kyoto.

  It can be said that He Sha's father, mother, and brother are not around, which is also why Feng Si Zhe came to the He residence but did not see He Sha's family members. Because her father was not there, He Li Zhen, this aunt, had an additional responsibility on her shoulders, which was to take care of He Sha's matchmaking.

  Today He Lizhen saw Feng Siche, and from beginning to end, she was still satisfied. And by listening to Feng Siche's conversation at the dinner table, it can also be considered as one of the tests.

  When He Lijun asked him, Feng Sicheng sat up straight and said respectfully: "Auntie, what He Sasha and I were just discussing was the difference between domestic and foreign education systems."

  "Oh, it's great that you young people have a common language. You don't know how often Sasha says she can't find anyone to talk to at home. Now that you two can chat together, feel free to come over and play anytime." He Lizhen said this while glancing at her father's expression, trying to gauge his impression of Feng Sicheng.

  He Lao seemed to have not heard her speak, still lowering his head to eat with He Sa's help, but He Sa's face turned red upon hearing this. After looking at He Lao's expression and then at her niece's face, He Li Zhen felt reassured, and the words she spoke were slightly louder than before. "Usually on Sundays and such, Sa Sa is always alone at home reading books, if you have time, come find her to play often."

  "Uh, okay." Feng Sicheng hastily replied after hearing He Lijin say that.

  Listening to Feng Si Zhe say this, He Sa's face couldn't help but turn red. After all, she was a girl, and it was normal for her to be a bit shy when facing such things.

  He Lao didn't say anything, just ate his favorite food under He Sha's service. His father-in-law didn't speak either, seriously eating. Seeing that everyone didn't mean to talk, He Lizhen also closed her mouth, and Feng Sicheng had even less intention of speaking, in this situation his experience was still to listen more and speak less.

  After finishing a meal, He Lao no longer had the intention of keeping Feng Zhe and Zhao Zhongjiang. Zhao Zhongjiang seemed to be very familiar with He Lao's rest time and knew that he had a habit of taking a nap. Therefore, after dinner, he just greeted He Li Zhen and then took Feng Zhe away from He's villa.

  Feng Zhe got back on the jeep, somewhat confused. He didn't understand the true meaning of He Lao's silence and thought for a moment before asking Zhao Zhongjiang, "Grandfather, what did Grandpa He mean?"

  "Haha, he has no intention, just an opinion." Zhao Zhongjiang also rarely learned a bit of philosophy today and actually said such a philosophical sentence.

  This conversation might be puzzling to other young people, but Feng Zhe knew exactly what it meant. As the son of a high-ranking official, he had interacted with all sorts of people in his previous life and now immediately understood what his grandfather was getting at - Old He was supporting his friendship with He Shasha. "No meaning" actually meant "support", if he opposed it, Old He would have spoken up already. Thinking this, a smile flashed across Feng Zhe's face, these old revolutionaries sometimes did things that made you realize their thoughts were profound and hard to fathom, perhaps this was the best explanation for being unfathomable.
