Unpleasant Meeting

　　”Shen Lang, come here to grandma.” The old lady of the Shen family looked at her grandson with a smile.

　　Shen Lang calmly walked passed the black pitted and pressured area, walked to the old lady and took a seat: “Grandma, when did you come back? How can you let mother and father make noise?” Go ahead and scold him! Scold him and he would just depend on the troops and will not come back! 

　　”I arrived this afternoon. If your grandfather had said in advance, I won’t let it. This way is great! Can give you a surprise.” The child grew up under her watch, although he has been in the army all these years, but this is the first prodigy of the family! Having said that, can he not go home?

　　Shen Lang is speechless, it turns out that this is the most ruthless person!

　　”Shen Lang, when will you bring home a partner₁ home to your grandma and grandpa? Look, you’ll be thirty-three after the New Year, and it’s time to start a family! When your grandpa is as old as you, your four uncles were all rolling in the ground.” The old lady is also a blunt master! Not beating around the bush either.

　　”Yeah, Shen Lang, men start a family and set up a career, but now your career is established, but the family is cannot even be seen in the shadow! Personal problems can not be delayed any longer.” The old man has always followed the footsteps of the old lady.

　　”Grandpa and grandma, it’s not that I don’t think about personal issues. I’m too busy to find time!” He was really busy. He was busy in the army all day long, and all of whome he sees are all men. Is it possible for him to marry a male daughter-in-law into the Shen family?

　　”You are the army commander now, don’t you think to take time to find a partner?” Did he think he was the only one who had been in the barracks? Wouldn’t you know that the military is so busy that you don’t even have time to engage in finding a partner?

　　”I took a week off last year, grandpa.”

　　”Really?” I rarely saw him last year.

　　”You can ask Commander Lou.”

　　”Come on, you’re not so busy this year!”

　　There are only their voices inthe lobby, everyone was watching. Originally, this year’s end of year gathering was just to target this guy in his thirties who was still single! Shen Lang was thirty, and he still has personal problems!

　　”But grandpa, you know that being in the army, I only come into contact with men every day. Where can I find you a granddaughter-in-law?” Shen Lang was not in a hurry.

　　”Then it’s okay to find a male-daughter-in-law.” Everyone was stunned stupid when he said this!

　　What does this mean? Did he need to be so crazy?

　　The old man gave Shen Lang a calm look: “Ten years ago, you said that you would not marry a woman as your wife in the future, troubled me!”

　　Everyone had to hold their chins from dropping! ! God! Are you not catching dementia in your old age old man?

　　Shen Lang smiled! This time is not a calm smile!

　　”Grandpa, this is what you said.” I waited for this sentence for more than ten years.

　　This time everyone didn’t just need to support their chin but there were also fainting! God! The youngest major general of the Shen family is actually ——!

　　Tang Mu looked at the encrypted file in his hand and rolled countless eyes. Tang Ao knew that he was supressing him, so he ran away and threw all his leftover things to him. Can this be called brotherly love!

He dares to make him substitute on such important matters! Is he not afraid to walk around!

　　But after reading the file for a long time, he was still stuck because this was too difficult to delay.

　　After tightening his down jacket he had just bought, he still felt it was too cold. Till this day, he hated the winter, especially winter in the north! Even in his bed he still feels cold in the bed.

　　”Mr. Tang, shall we go?” The driver looked at the person who had not responded for a long time, and finally asked. The young master had turned his eyes at the document in his hand for half an hour. It’s freezing cold, what is he going to do? Until when will you wait?

　　Tang Mu looked back at the driver and said, “Let’s go!” What he liked least was dealing with those old guys in the army. They have a poker face that you owe me money and you haven’t paid it back.

　　The team finally opened the factory door for the car to enter. The very low-key team looked from the outside and none tried to examine the what was in the car.

　　After waiting for two hours, Shen Lang finally saw the car he was waiting for. The gang of ladies back at home had changed and he couldn’t wait to get out of the door. If it weren’t for being bombarded by family members, he really would not come here to suffer!  Now he is on vacation, they are all forcing him to marry! Who told him to hide it from his family for more than ten years? Now that the group of people revolted, it was really overwhelming, but fortunately, Mom and Dad had not buried him alive! After talking for two days, they decided to respect his own sexuality, to not force him to marry a woman into the family.

　　What makes him unbearable most is that his family of curious siblings who can rampage Africa into ruins, not only does not reject to his homosexuality at all, but also is curious about the type he likes, and is ready to find him an partner.

　　Not bothered by it, he excused himself to go out to find quietness on the pretense of official business. Just when his army was about to receive a batch of equipment, he went substituted himself on a whim from his men and ran out on his own.

　　Thus, it took him two hours to finally see the people and car he was waiting for. Those old men can be laid off for not having any efficiency!

　　Tang Mu found the corresponding license plate number at the designated location and told the driver to stop. He had to get out of the car to confirm it. He could not be careless about this matter. He did not want to eat all three meals for free.

　　Shen Lang saw the person who got off the car and froze for a moment. This isn’t the person in the document? How did it change?

　　Tang Mu stepped forward and knocked on the window. Shen Lang rolled down the window and saw a cold man standing by the window. He raised his eyebrows, a very attractive man!

　　Tang Mu was shocked to see Shen Lang, didn’t the file say he was middle-aged and old? How could he be this young person?

　　”I’m Tang Mu of the Tang family, may I ask who are you?” he asked politely.

　　”I’m the person responsible for receiving, isn’t the person who delivered this suppose to be Tang Ao? Why weren’t we notified of the substitution?” Shen Lang asked with some doubts, and that gesture unconsciously displayed the majesty of the army.

　　”Didn’t you also change persons without notice? Can I be rest assured?” Tang Mu asked indifferently.

　　”Interface number?” This person has a bad temper. This is his first impression of the person in front of him.

　　”How many canon muzzles are there for Group C’s high artillery shells?”

　　”Three and a half.”

　　Upon hearing this, Tang Mu turned back and got on the freight truck. I didn’t even take a look at it. The first image this man gave him was very poor. He thought he was an arrogant pig, so his attitude made him angry! He has gotten angry these days, so don’t provoke him. The first sentence has made him unhappy, the second sentence made him angry! Whether or not he served in the army or not, he, a plain common man, is not matching with that type.

　　Shen Lang watched, raised his eyebrows, really had a big temper! This is the young master of the Tang family! Spoiled little child. He has such a bad temper, but it’s really fun to watch him be angry.

　　Shen Lang drove along the road, he knew that the young master would follow, Tang fsmily would not let just any casual person come to deliver such important supplies. He should be entrusted to deliver by the Tang family, he would not just be any person who merely put on airs of a young master.

　　They drove directly to the material warehouse where the group army stationed, and watched those people unload the materials and equipment, and counted them intact. After Tang Mu checked the list of documents to confirm that they were correct.

　　”Sign.” Seeing the arrogant man, he looked cold, and his expression was very impatient.

　　Shen Lang didn’t care either. He took over the documents handed over from his hand, turned his head and raised his eyebrows, again in that kind of majestic gesture: “Are you sure it’s correct?”

　　”Yes! It has been confirmed correctly!” The soldier’s upright posture is up to standard and can even meet the standard of the National Day parade! Who told him to stand in front of the commander with the highest rank in the C group!

　　Shen Lang nodded, signed his name on the document, and handed it back to him. He also didn’t look at Tang Mu: “Send me a batch of sophisticated pistols to the T division headquaters and deliver it to Master Luo” He stood in front of the material warehouse and ordered lightly.

　　”Yes!” The soldiers reacted directly after receiving the orders to act.

　　Tang Mu was stunned, who was this guy in the end, he can casually distribute materials at will?

　　Soon, his doubts were answered. A man carrying two bars and four stars₂ on his shoulders walked in quickly.

“Commander! You are too good! An order from the military area, and you went to pick it up yourself!”

　　Almost instantly, the majesty of the superior could be seen on the man in plain clothes.

　　”Commander Lou?” His posture is very upright, that is unique to soldiers.

　　”Yes! Your phone can’t be reached. I wanted to inform Commander Shen, but the guard said, you are receiving equipment, just right.” The man was very anxious, and he was much better after seeing him.

　　Tang Mu froze, Commander? ! Is this man a commander? ! As far as he knows, the commander-in-chief is the supreme military chief of a group army. As the commander of the group army, the military rank is at least of the major general! This man who looks no more than thirty-five years old is actually a major general commander? ! This is too much!

　　Shen Lang turned back: “That, Xiao Zhao, you send them out.” Without saying anything, he left the material warehouse in the hands of the colonel.

　　”Yes! Captain!” The soldier called Xiao Zhao also carried two stars on his shoulder!

　　Tang Mu smiled, no wonder the posture was so upright, it turns out that this guy has such a background! But he still doesn’t like that guy!

　　He has to clean up after Tang Ao, that guy with no brotherly love, who decided to get married on the New Year, and go on his honeymoon! It caused him to be busy in the last few days of this year! He is already very upset, this matter can be called to add fuel to the fire! This damn winter! The dreadful snow keeps falling and getting colder!

　　Tang Mu walked out of the material warehouse and directly got in the car. It was finally over, even if it was a bit unpleasant halfway.

　　He would go back to Cologne after the New Year! He does not worship everything foreign₃, he just really likes that kind of environment, at least there is no cold air which he hates, there is no snow which he hates. There is no hot summer which he hates.
