Song Yan specifically told Liu Shuhong about Cheng Youfu's upcoming visit.

Liu Shuhong understood what Song Yan meant. In fact, she had already made plans for a while.

You can't keep your secret forever. Who knows, one day the whole brigade might find out.

She didn't feel ashamed of doing business, and besides, people nowadays tend to turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.

What Liu Shuhong feared most was that one day Wei Song's grandmother would find out. Even if she borrowed money, she would come to Kyoto to cause trouble for her. If that unreasonable woman came, she would definitely cause trouble for the grandmother's family.

The old lady and Song Yan have helped me so much, I can't cause them any trouble.

Liu Shuhong: "I've also inquired about houses, and I've found one I like. It's just an ordinary house with a courtyard. People are both renting and selling it. I'm thinking of renting it first. The rent isn't expensive."

Aunt Wei: "It's not right for a woman like you to live here alone. After all, you don't know anyone here."

“Auntie, where is this place? This is Kyoto. It’s what people used to call the place under the emperor’s feet. I live alone, so I’m fine,” Liu Shuhong said.

"You said you're selling that house too, how much will it cost?" Song Yan asked.

"A main room, with a side room attached to it."

The side room is quite tidy; with a little tidying up, it could be habitable.

There is also a storage room and a yard, but it's not very big.

"It costs two thousand four hundred," Liu Shuhong said.

"Second sister-in-law, if you buy it, how much more money do you need?" Song Yan asked.

Liu Shuhong's eyes welled up with tears without her realizing it. Anyone in this world who rushes to lend you money is your benefactor. But she still refused. "If you include all the money I have, the amount I lack isn't that much. But I still need the capital."

So I'll put buying a house on hold for now. I'll rent for now, that's just as good…”

Song Yan waved his hand, stopping Liu Shuhong from continuing. "I think now that the educated youth are starting to return to the city, housing will definitely become more and more scarce. Housing prices will only rise, not fall."

I'll lend you some more money so we can pool our resources and you can still buy the house.

Getting goods on credit from Xiaohu isn't a big deal.

My biggest fear is that if I don't buy this house now, the price will be much higher next year. Then I'll regret it.

Liu Shuhong knew she owed the old woman and Song Yan countless favors. Besides, this little bit wasn't a big deal. But…

Song Yan: "Without a house, it's just empty talk if you want to bring your child here."

This sentence touched Liu Shuhong the most.

“My sister-in-law always thinks of me. I can never repay her kindness in this lifetime. I’m just being sentimental. Haven’t my sister-in-law helped me enough? One more thing won’t make a difference,” Liu Shuhong said, wiping away her tears.

Liu Shuhong had 1,800 yuan in her hands. To be honest, she used to think that she would be content to have saved up this much money in half her life.

Song Yan gave her eight hundred. That was plenty of money.

Later, it was bought for 2,200 yuan. Song Yan told Liu Shuhong to keep the rest of the money as capital. That way, she wouldn't have to buy any more.

...

Wei Aiguo's group of trainees all had military merits, and many had completed special missions. In terms of military skills and individual combat capabilities, they were all outstanding.

The reason they are being sent here for unified training is because their cultural literacy is low; the purpose of this training is to improve their military skills and cultural knowledge.

The files of the trainees who came here were kept as confidential documents. Even now, parts of their files are still classified.

When Wei Aiguo completed his mission, Shen Changchuan submitted a request to the Zhejiang Provincial Military Region to allow Wei Aiguo to return to Beijing to take care of his wife who had completed her special mission.

As for what kind of special mission it is, the details are top secret.

Someone like Wei Aiguo is exactly what every military region wants. Now that he's in Kyoto, wouldn't the Kyoto Military Region want him?

The Zhejiang Provincial Military Region definitely wanted to retain him, so he received all the military merit bonuses and was also arranged to enter a military academy.

This is definitely a sign of how much the Zhejiang Provincial Military Region values ​​him. He would be too embarrassed to let down the military region's cultivation and attention to him!

These are all the obvious reasons. There are also some less known reasons. For example, the amount of the bonus, the rank of military merit, and the strong approval of the division commander and army commander. These all require approval from the military region.

If it can't be approved, then it's all for nothing.

The military region leaders all agreed to this matter and approved it without any objection.

These were what Secretary Fang and he said.

Wei Aiguo's military achievements are genuine, as are his connections.

This matter could not have been accomplished if someone had even slightly obstructed it, since it represented the dream of every soldier.

Most of the connections he had in the Zhejiang Provincial Military Region were paved by Song Yan.

These trainees all have military merits or military ranks, so to be honest, they are not easy to manage.

They especially have to study academic subjects. They're all incredibly skilled with guns, but they dread handling pens.

He was quite restless during class, which really annoyed the teacher.

The teacher said that the reason you are taking classes here is because your academic subjects are not good.

May Day is here, who says I can't do it?

The teacher was angry. "Then let's test you."

Wei Aiguo then asked, "Is there a reward for doing well on the exam?"

The teacher said yes. If the average score of the five tests reaches 80 points, three days off can be given.

Those who pass will neither be rewarded nor punished.

Those who fail must now study diligently in class. If they fail again at graduation... well, will they even be able to graduate?

These soldiers all had completed junior high school, but many junior high schools were closed during those years, so what could they learn? Therefore, their academic studies started from junior high school.

When Wei Aiguo saw the exam questions, he thought they were easy. Were they any harder than the questions his wife had given him?

Four people scored over 80 on average. Among them were Jin Wu and Wei Aiguo. Leopard passed, and he was one of those who received neither reward nor punishment.

Wei Aiguo never expected he would get three days off. And that doesn't even include this afternoon's leave. It's actually more than three days off.

What he lacks most right now is a vacation.

Because everything takes time! He can't keep taking leave every few days.

Old Master Shen was looking for his mother and his wife, but the root of the problem lay with Su Zhaohai.

He has time today to go and take a look around.
