"Mom and Dad, Li Chu and I have been transferred to different jobs."

"Transfer to another job?" Ding's parents were stunned, and even Ding Jianguo was taken aback.

Why would someone be transferred to a different job? Could something have gone wrong?

Mr. Ding hurriedly asked, "What happened, Nan Nan? Xiao Chu, is something wrong?"

"Hehe, Dad, what problems could there be? There won't be any problems. Let me show you, this is our future workplace."

As she spoke, Ding Qiunan took her work ID out of her pocket and handed it to her father.

It also has a red cover, but the difference is that it has an additional military emblem on it.

The cover alone left Mr. Ding completely stunned.

Ding's mother and Ding Jianguo both crowded around to take a look.

Mr. Ding looked at his work ID in his hand, then looked up at his daughter and son-in-law, before opening it with some suspicion.

The first page features a close-up photo of Ding Qiunan in military uniform.

"Wow, sis, you've joined the army?"

Ding's mother raised her hand and slapped her son on the back: "Keep your voice down and go close the door."

Ding's father held the work permit and looked at it over and over for a long time.

"Nannan, what's going on? Why did you suddenly join the army? Xiao Chu, what about you? Are you joining too?"

When Ding's father asked, Li Chu smiled and nodded.

Ding Qiunan cleared her throat and said with a hint of pride, "Dad, Mom, your daughter will be a glorious soldier from now on."

"Of course, so are your sons-in-law; we're all cadres."

The three adults stared at Ding Qiunan and Li Chu in shock. The two little ones, who were still too young to understand anything, sat in their grandparents' laps, munching on milk candies and looking around curiously with their big eyes.

Mr. Ding handed his work ID back, still somewhat incredulous.

"Nannan, tell me what happened. How did you suddenly become a military officer?"

"Dad, we're still at the hospital, just a military hospital."

"I know it's a military hospital, but what's going on?"

Li Chu patted his wife's arm, signaling for him to speak.

"Dad, Mom, it's like this..."

I immediately recounted the whole story to the elderly couple.

After listening, I finally understood.

"Sigh," Ding's father sighed, "The factory has been restless lately, with constant 'training sessions,' and sometimes even requiring employees to leave their jobs for training. It's all a mess!"

"It's good that you're being transferred there. As you said, at least things will be calmer over there."

After Ding's father finished speaking, Li Chu glanced at his brother-in-law: "Jianguo, when you're working there, besides your normal work, don't meddle in anything else. If there's any problem you can't solve, come to me immediately. Don't try to do anything on your own."

"I understand, brother-in-law. That's what my master said too. He told me to just focus on learning driving and car repair skills."

After understanding the whole story, Ding's parents were genuinely happy for the young couple. Being able to join the army was such an honor!

At lunchtime, Ding's father even opened a bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) as a way of celebrating.

Li Chu brought him all this wine, and also gave him quite a few cigarettes.

Ding's father couldn't bear to drink those good wines at all; he would feel bad even if he opened a bottle of Erguotou.

Li Chu had a couple of drinks with Ding's father, but he didn't drink much because he had to drive back in the afternoon.

I drove here today, so I wasn't in a hurry to leave. I stayed at home until after 7 p.m.

Even so, I was still worried that Li Qin and Wang Ziwen would be concerned, otherwise I could have stayed until 9 p.m.

Ding Jianguo followed along; he also had to go to work tomorrow.

The two little ones fell asleep in the back seat as soon as they got in the car.

After entering the city, they first sent Ding Jianguo back to his work unit's dormitory.

Then Li Chu took his wife and child home before returning the car to his brother-in-law.

There was still plenty of gas in the car, so Li Chu didn't fill it up today. He just gave his brother-in-law another 20-liter gas voucher.

When Ding Qiunan rode her bicycle home, she found that both children had already been washed and cleaned.

It was two hours later when they finished showering and lay down on the bed.

She was still slightly out of breath as she lay on top of her husband.

He stroked his wife's hair with one hand and gently patted her smooth back with the other.

"What's wrong? You seemed a little excited just now. Is it because you're starting your new job tomorrow?"

Ding Qiunan raised her head and glared at her husband, but didn't say anything. She then pressed her face against his chest again, quietly listening to his heartbeat.

Li Chu smiled silently and stopped teasing his wife. If he angered her, there would definitely be another big fight. He should just go to sleep.

He reached out and turned off the light, then pulled his wife, who was lying on top of him, closer up, wrapping his arms around her body.

Li Chu was at his wits' end with such a shameless wife.

Every night when I sleep, I either lie completely on top of him, or half of my body is on him. What else can I do?

Luckily, he's in good health, otherwise his wife would have suffocated him sooner or later.

Not long after the lights were turned off, Ding Qiunan started snoring.

She was used to sleeping this way.

Li Chu wasn't sleepy yet, so he closed his eyes and started mentally checking in.

The beeping sound continued for a long time.

I was almost asleep when the sound finally stopped.

He carefully put away all the miscellaneous rewards, then looked at the empty space in the middle of the warehouse and couldn't help but curse.

This time, he didn't receive any special rewards. He was no longer interested in money, tickets, canned goods, meat, or anything like that. He was just hoping that signing in would give him some kind of skill.

Emerging from his reverie, Li Chu, lying on the bed, opened his eyes, his gaze revealing deep disappointment.

He stared blankly for a long time, holding his sleeping wife, before reluctantly turning his attention back to the warehouse.

I reorganized all the things I had just tidied up.

He didn't give up until he saw the last box.

The last box contained over thirty century-old ginseng plants. Li Chu suspected that there might not be as many as those circulating outside.

The medicine he had previously prescribed for his sister and brother-in-law, his parents-in-law, and Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang was almost all used up, so it was time to prescribe another batch.

There's a lot of ginseng this time, so we can use it freely.

As for Ding Qiunan, the black ointment that was given to her to apply to her face was all given to Lou Xiao'e.

She no longer uses that product at all; she only applies a little bit of face cream each day.

Although the black ointment wasn't specifically formulated for Lou Xiao'e, it still had some effect when applied to her face.

Coming from a wealthy family, he knew in no time that this was definitely a good product.

They even specially sent over twenty yuan, which Ding Qiunan couldn't refuse.

Lou Xiao'e and her mother are now using it together. Some time ago, she even asked Ding Qiunan where to buy it.
