Chapter 2015: A Room Full Of Military Ranks Translations

Xia Yiwei came in and was welcomed by everyone. They all invited her to sit down. “Come, come. Yiwei, sit beside Big Brother.”

“How can Yiwei sit still? She’s afraid that the old master will make things difficult for her boyfriend.” Xia Junbai, the cousin of the Xia family, started to make fun of her. He was here to give his new year greetings and was the vice-captain of a certain wars.h.i.+p. He was the only navy member in the Xia family.

Xia Yiwei was the only daughter of the Xia family, and she was not young anymore. However, she only brought back a boyfriend this year. Old Master Xia was very worried and had to test him.

“I’m not afraid that the old master will make things difficult for him. I’m just worried that he’ll make the old master worried. It’s the new year. I don’t want him to make things difficult for our family.”

Xia Yiwei saw that the old madam was not around, and neither was her aunt, Xia Sujun. She sat down and asked, “Where’s the old madam and Aunt?”

“Aunt Xiu said that the red flowers had bloomed in the greenhouse, so the old madam happily dragged my mother along. I have to thank the camellias for blooming in time so that I can be free for a while.”

A woman who was around 23 or 24 years old said with a smile as she winked at Xia Yiwei.

Sitting beside her was a handsome young man who raised his hand and gave her a chestnut. He smiled and said, “Behave yourself. If Mom doesn’t see you when she comes back, your days will be numbered.”

The man’s words filled the room with laughter.

Old Master Xia had four sons and one daughter. He had 15 grandchildren.

Xia Jinyuan was the youngest, and Zhou Yichen was not included.

There were only two granddaughters, Xia Yiwei and Zhou Yijin.

This year, other than Xia Jinyuan who didn’t come back, the rest of the grandchildren had gathered together happily.

Zhou Yijin, who was knocked on the head by her brother, glared at him in dissatisfaction. She let out a ‘hmph’ and ate the melon seeds.

“Don’t go out and cause trouble for Mom. That Du Jiayi only said a few words to others. What’s there to be angry about? You’ve been angry over it from New Year’s Eve to the second day of the new year. How petty.”

Zhou Yichen unreservedly exposed his sister’s shortcomings in front of his cousins.

He was a teacher and had an elegant aura. When he spoke, he was neither too fast nor too slow. He was very rhythmic. “Don’t you already know what kind of person she is? So what if you let her say a few words? It’s none of your business.”

“How is it not my problem? She said those things about my good friend, Wei Jiayue. How can I not be angry? That treacherous, hypocritical, pretentious, and hateful woman! I feel disgusted just by looking at her!”

After saying that, she even made a puking gesture. Xia Yiwei and the rest didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at her childish behavior.

Among the siblings, Zhou Yijin was treated as the youngest. No matter how unreasonable Xia Jinyuan was back then, he never bullied her.

When she graduated from university at the age of 22, she signed up for the military behind her aunt’s back. She didn’t rely on her family’s connections and was a.s.signed to the Nanguang Military District with her good friend, Wei Jiayue. She joined the liaison company, while Wei Jiayue joined the cultural troupe.

They knew about the relations.h.i.+p between the Xia and Du families. Now that Du Jiayi was mentioned, they naturally helped Zhou Yijin.

Xia Yiting smiled. “Do you want to get Yuzheng to transfer you out of the Nanguang Military District?”
