Su Qiao has been considering whether or not to join the army these past few days.

And how to completely solve the "plot correction" problem.

As long as she doesn't get pregnant for the time being, things can be somewhat controlled afterward.

But every year, that remains a problem.

Nian Nian's family is currently quite well-off, and they are living a very comfortable life.

How could it have suddenly fallen into ruin?

What happened in between?

Furthermore, Nian Nian's tone of voice is not like that of a child at all; she is very organized and has a good memory.

Su Qiao already had her suspicions.

Could he be a reincarnation?

If I hadn't gone home to visit my family, I wouldn't have saved him.

He might end up living on the streets.

That ending felt more like a forced and contrived combination of previous developments and reality...

It will be several years before the two meet, and who knows what might happen in the meantime.

Did something happen to my cousins?

Is there some other crisis surrounding them?

There were other reasons why Niannian disappeared last time...

When Su Qiao is thinking, she likes to stare blankly at something, her eyes vacant.

When Lu Xiangze returned, this is what Su Qiao looked like.

All the recent events have been weighing on her shoulders, requiring her to make a decision.

Su Qiao appeared to be the same as usual, but when she was alone, her face was always filled with worry.

Lu Xiangze smiled and walked towards her.

Su Qiao snapped out of her daze immediately.

"You're back."

"Yes, I received a telegram and went to return a phone call."

The military hopes he can make a decision as soon as possible.

In the past, he might have chosen to continue using that identity without hesitation.

But now he knows that this identity has too many limitations, and he may not be able to protect Su Qiao.

"The military is calling again?"

Lu Xiangze nodded.

I didn't want Su Qiao to know, but the fact that I sent the telegram couldn't be kept secret.

Su Qiao could naturally see exactly how many telegrams had been sent from the other side.

Su Qiao made up her mind in an instant.

"If you go back, can I go with you to the army?"

She had only just remembered this.

If one's rank is not high enough, they probably won't be able to accompany the troops.

Lu Xiangze chuckled and patted her head.

"Of course, I'll be the deputy regimental commander when I get back. As long as you've thought it through, you can come and join the army. I'll apply for housing now."

Previously, Lu Xiangze was single and always lived in the dormitory. Now that Su Qiao is going to accompany the military, she will naturally have to apply for a family compound.

Su Qiao nodded.

Returning to the army would be a form of protection for Lu Xiangze.

With his military achievements, as long as he remains steadfast in his stance, that would be the most suitable place for him to survive.

Moreover, she could tell that Lu Xiangze still couldn't give up his military service.

Things should be done sooner rather than later.

Lu Xiangze went to the commune in the afternoon.

They started calling the military.

Ding Yuxiao was somewhat surprised when the call was connected.

This kid was still hesitating this morning, but changed his mind this afternoon?

Lu Xiangze gave a few casual explanations and put the application for the family compound on the agenda.

Ding Yuxiao quickly realized what was happening.

"You little rascal, I thought you were going to completely immerse yourself in the masses. Now you've finally figured it out?"

"Sir, please don't make fun of me."

However, thinking about the current situation in the family compound, Ding Yuxiao gave him a heads-up: "No matter how much we urged you to get married back then, you wouldn't budge. You even said you weren't in a hurry to get a house in the family compound, so now there aren't any new houses that meet your criteria."

Lu Xiangze thought for a moment.

"What about the old house?"

Lu Xiangze remembered seeing it; it was an old house with a courtyard.

Ding Yuxiao was amused.

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"Reporting to the commander, yes, it's urgent."

Ding Yuxiao could imagine Lu Xiangze's expression right now; he had always treated him like a junior member of his own family.

People rarely speak up these days.

There really was a courtyard that perfectly matched his status.

"Do you remember the old courtyard where Commander Qi used to live? His family recently moved to a new house. The old house is now empty, but it's a bit out of the way. Do you want it?"

"Yes! Thank you, sir!" Lu Xiangze agreed immediately.

Although the place was remote, it was only 50 meters away from the surrounding residential compounds.

It's all within the family compound area anyway, and the compound is actually more convenient.

Ding Yuxiao laughed when he heard this.

They stopped chatting and got straight to the point.

These things didn't need to be arranged by him, but he had some personal motives regarding Lu Xiangze's affairs.

Such an outstanding person is bound to be extraordinary sooner or later.

Who knows, he might even climb higher than him in the future.

When Lu Xiangze got home, he told her about the house.

Su Qiao was somewhat surprised, not expecting that it could be arranged so quickly.

This leader is really good to Lu Xiangze.

This means that Su Qiao's resignation needs to be arranged as soon as possible.

The situation is urgent.

Su Qiao had no way to notify them earlier.

When she went to see the principal in the afternoon, the principal was very surprised.

In those days, although the job of a primary school teacher didn't pay much, it was still much better than being an ordinary educated youth sent to the countryside.

The principal had many words of advice to say to her, since those mischievous kids were usually very well-behaved when Su Qiao was teaching.

It was learned that Su Qiao was going to join the army.

The principal has always had a biased view of soldiers.

Hearing this, he stopped trying to persuade her.

However, finding a new teacher is still quite troublesome.

The principal didn't ask for her opinion, so she naturally didn't bring it up.

Now she just needs to keep working, and once she finds a new teacher, she can leave.

When Lu Xiang heard about this, she wanted to come and persuade her.

However, I heard that Lu Xiangze has now returned to the army.

She didn't try to persuade her any further, only telling her not to forget her in the future...

Su Qiao originally thought she would have to wait a while longer.

But to everyone's surprise, the principal was a man of action and found a replacement teacher the very next day.

They were acquaintances.

Song Jinzhao.

The principal asked someone to come back for a test, and Song Jinzhao's score was the best.

And the results were even better than last time.

As long as he passes the probationary period, the teacher's position will be his.

Song Jinzhao is very approachable, and the children like him a lot.

The quality of the lessons is naturally good.

After auditing a few classes, Su Qiao was completely relieved.

After she resolved these matters and left the school with her belongings, she encountered an unexpected person.

Li Yanhong stood there, looking at her with resentment.

Su Qiao hadn't intended to pay her any attention and walked a few steps along the inside of the road.

The main concern is that she might be having second thoughts.

She is now the only educated youth left without a job at the educated youth settlement.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Li Yanhong called out to her to stop her.

"Su Qiao! Did you do this on purpose?"

Li Yanhong couldn't understand why the teacher's spot had fallen into Song Jinzhao's hands.

But the thought that Su Qiao gave up this spot instantly sparked conspiracy theories.

Could it be that she still holds a grudge against me?

As soon as Su Qiao heard her say this, she knew that she was getting stuck on a rut.

She could have kept quiet, but after thinking about it, she realized that Li Yanhong's words were really infuriating.

She didn't want to indulge her, nor did she want to be misunderstood.

I was already annoyed these past few days, and now Li Yanhong has to come along.

Su Qiao turned around with a smile, and began to retort with a smile on her face.
