Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

"You've finally come to your senses, you've fallen for her. Old Xu, you should find someone after all these years. You can't just say you won't find a wife for the rest of your life because of the trauma in your heart, right?!"

It has long been no secret that Old Xu is not interested in women, and the fact that he has not had a wife for so many years has become a headache for him.

There are people on the island who have feelings for Lao Xu, but this person doesn't give others the opportunity to contact him.

He never lets anyone enter his yard. Apart from focusing on his duties, he is indifferent to everything else.

Even though he lived next door, when I first met Lao Xu, I had no right to enter his yard.

After so many years of working together, the two of them became more and more familiar with each other, and the deeper their friendship, the opportunity to come in was given.

There is a reason why the country sent the Nanjing Art Troupe to perform on Xiaoheishan Island this time, and it was for Lao Xu's wedding.

Old Xu was born in 1922. Both of his parents are native Nanjing people. Political Commissar Xu, who grew up in Nanjing, experienced a huge change in his growth when he was 15 years old.

Both his parents were massacred, but Old Xu was lucky enough to escape the disaster because he was staying at his maternal grandparents' home in another city and was reluctant to leave.

But both his parents died, and he became an orphan. This was unacceptable to Old Xu, who had grown up with his parents.

The reason why Nanjing fell so quickly was due to the huge gap in military strength and the failure of strategic approach.

So from then on, Lao Xu wanted to be a military politician, and when he was recruited into the army, he became a navy soldier due to a strange combination of fate.

He followed the large force to garrison on the national coast and guard the coastal safety line. He was transferred back and forth several times and returned to Nanjing Military Academy for further studies. In recent years, he came to the island for construction and became the political commissar of the Xiaoheishan Island Marine Corps.

It has not been difficult for Lao Xu to find a marriage partner over the years, but he himself does not want to get married. He has been dragging his feet and is still a bachelor at the age of 35.

The country and its superiors are still quite concerned about people with his experience.

So this time we sent the Nanjing Art Troupe to perform, also to see if Lao Xu could create some sparks.

After all, the people in the army who were responsible for helping single non-commissioned officers with their marriages were all very worried about this man.

It has also been mentioned that even if he doesn't nod in agreement, it's not a good idea to just ask the two of them to be together, as what if they become a couple of enemies?

"Okay, Lao Shen, don't assume that I'm attracted to her just because I said a few words to her. You can't just say this casually, don't you know? If it gets out, how much of an impact will it have on a girl?!"

"Tsk, you still don't admit it. Old Xu, I think you deserve to be single."

Political Commissar Xu took off his shoes and was about to slap him, "Hey, if you don't say some nonsense every day, you'll feel itchy!"

"I'm not wrong, just deny it!"

After saying that, Captain Shen jumped away, quickly moved towards the gate and left the yard.

Political Commissar Xu was the only one left in the yard, looking at the people who were running away in panic with a deep smile. He shook his head for a long time to express his helplessness towards the childish Captain Shen.

He didn't really want to beat him, but the captain was scared away by a fake move.

Political Commissar Xu smiled for a long time, then bent down, put on his shoes, and went into the inner room.

……

In the evening, Political Commissar Xu returned to the yard after get off work, carrying a bag of sunflower seeds.

He bought this from an islander, and he only chose one kind of flower from among all the flowers.

Compared to other flowers that are only beautiful but not practical, sunflowers have much more uses.

The island has plenty of sunshine and good light, making it easy to grow sunflowers.

Political Commissar Xu plowed the soil 20-25 centimeters deep around the wall of his yard to make it looser. After doing this, he selected full and high-quality seeds and scattered them into the soil. He then leveled the land with a shovel and evenly watered it to keep the soil moist.

By the time they finished planting the sunflowers, it was already dark, but Political Commissar Xu wondered whether she would come to water them tomorrow as agreed.

In fact, for him, this was just the reward for Cheng Qianfan to fetch water. He had secretly told her that there was a well here and she could use it. Of course, it was not for free, so he asked her to help water the flowers.

Although he is still considering why he is not opposed to having contact with her, he does not want to hinder their interaction. Cheng Qianfan is a very interesting girl.

When he thought about a little girl coming to the yard to water the plants tomorrow, like a little gardener, he wanted to laugh.

With this little bit of happiness, Political Commissar Xu looked forward to tomorrow.

……

The next day, Chengcheng said that he was fully recovered and could join the art troupe.

Everyone saw how she looked yesterday, so there was no point in pretending to be sick again.

My job is to follow the main team to set up the venue, and yesterday the setup on the stage was halfway done.

The red background cloth has been hung on the support frame, but the banner on it has not been hung up and the balloons have not been blown up and pasted on.

So today the members of the troupe were assigned different tasks. Some were blowing balloons, some were inserting small colorful flags on the side of the stage, and some were to borrow stools from the army and set them up under the stage.

The task of hanging the banner was given to two female leaders, and there were two members of the group holding the wooden ladder below.

Teacher An was responsible for borrowing the stool.

The art troupe was busy here, and Political Commissar Xu was also giving ideological education to the backbone members of the troupe in the conference room.

This is something he must do every week. He would first discuss ideological issues with the backbone members in the meeting, and then these people would convey them to the soldiers below.

Not only that, other documents are conveyed from time to time, requiring a general meeting to be held for everyone to participate.

The ideological awareness of the group members who have low awareness needs to be improved, and those who have deviated in their thinking need to be re-educated. If education fails, punishment is needed.

For example, he is also responsible for formulating training plans for the naval fleet, and the regiment commander is responsible for making specific arrangements. It can be said that he is a military advisor of Xiaoheishan Island.

The implementation of any system requires his intervention or witnessing.

We need to understand the needs of the islanders and what problems they encounter from time to time, and the troops must try their best to meet them in this regard.

Xiaoheishan Island is the location of the garrison, so the islanders are essentially under the management of the army.

Both sides were busy, but Political Commissar Xu still took the time to wonder whether the flowers at home had been watered by her. Unfortunately, he was not at home today and could not see the little gardener watering the flowers.

……

At noon, Political Commissar Xu finally finished the meeting.

I stayed in the conference room, drank some tea, packed up the meeting documents, and prepared to pack some food and go home.

When he went to the cafeteria to get his food and returned home, he found that there was no change in the house from when he left in the morning.

No one came?

With doubt in his mind, he walked to the seeds he had planted last night, stared at them for a long time, and made sure that no one had been there.
