The sun slowly set. Sister Wu, who had prepared the meal, came out and looked towards Ling Yue's room. Finally, she shook her head helplessly.

He went to work as soon as he came back, just like Xiangzhong.

He turned around and brought the food in the living room to the stone table under the crabapple tree. It was cooler to eat outside on a summer night.

After everything was done, he knocked on Ling Yue's door and said, "Don't read it yet. Come out to eat. I'll write after you finish eating."

Ling Yue responded, wrote the last word and put the pen down.

Because Tang Nancheng came back, the eldest sister made three dishes and a soup, just right for four people.

Ling Yue gave Zhang Jia a few days off to go home. Now there are only Wang Jianguo, Tang Nancheng and Ling Yue in the courtyard. Wang Jianguo and Tang Nancheng are keen on staple foods, while Ling Yue eats less and prefers vegetables.

My elder sister has a good grasp of these preferences. The food she cooks is always just right. There will be no waste or not enough to eat.

"Eat more, Xiao Tang. Don't be shy," the elder sister said as she greeted him, "How long did you give Xiao Zhang for home leave?"

Xiao Zhang and Ling Yue must have suffered so much together, and their families must be extremely worried.

Ling Yue swallowed the food in her mouth and said quickly, "They gave me half a month. Originally, they gave me a month, but Zhang Jia didn't want it. His brother is in the military district and his rank is not high enough. The time they apply for family visits will not be long."

Yes, even if Zhang Jia is a soldier, once she takes leave to go to the military region to visit her brother, her brother also needs to apply for a visit. Of course, it is not necessary for a short time, just one or two days, just to come out and see her. For a visit of ten days, half a month, or even longer, an application must be made.

"Is this amount of time enough? Xiao Zhang isn't going back to his hometown?"

Ling Yue paused holding the chopsticks and shook her head. "Her parents are both dead. There's only her uncle's family back home. I haven't seen them get very close over the years, so I guess their relationship isn't very good. That's why I didn't ask. Now, there are only her and her brother in their family."

The eldest sister doesn’t know the family background of the people around Ling Yue. These are all kept confidential and she has no access to them.

She didn't mean to offend but still gave him an injection. She sighed and said, "They are all poor people."

After dinner, Tang Nancheng insisted on washing the dishes. Ling Yue couldn't persuade him, as if he continued, the dishes would be smashed, so she had to agree.

Therefore, Tang Nancheng was washing dishes in the kitchen, Wang Jianguo was standing guard outside the door, and only the eldest sister and Ling Yue were in the courtyard.

"The child is still worried."

Ling Yue nodded helplessly. Indeed, in the past, Tang Nancheng would never rush to do housework, but only rush to run errands.

It will take time to remove the knot in Brother Tang's heart.

"Sister, sometimes I always wonder, if I hadn't asked Brother Tang to do such a dangerous thing, would he still be staying in the military area?"

If she had followed Xiangzhong's plan, would she have been able to meet Master Zhu and keep him? At that time, Zhang Jia might not have had to endure the hardships with her, Tang Nancheng wouldn't have lost a leg, and Big Sister, Xiangzhong, and Uncle Qian wouldn't have lived in fear every day.

Whenever it is late at night and I lie in bed, these thoughts will unconsciously come to my mind and I can't get rid of them.

Sister Wu didn't know what to say. If Tang Nancheng had a heart disease, then Ling Yue's heart disease would be no less than anyone else's in the past three years.

"Sister, I'm not suitable to be a decision maker at all." She does not have strong psychological endurance, and she is no longer a person who is indifferent to everything.

The eldest sister sighed, stroked Ling Yue's hair and said slowly: "But without you, this battle might have lasted five years, ten years, or even longer."

"The higher-ups need some reason to find a breakthrough, and you just happened to be here, didn't you?"

"Silly boy, you have to understand that there are no winners when gunfire sounds. All we can do is strive for the greatest benefit at the lowest cost."

As she spoke, the eldest sister looked towards the door, as if gazing at the entire Dragon Kingdom.

"Listen, everywhere is filled with people who have been rehabilitated, hanging lanterns and decorations. When the firecrackers go off, we know which family has been reunited. And this is all achieved by people like Tang Nancheng."

Ling Yue pursed her lips and lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking about. Sister Wu did not continue, but just sat quietly beside her. Some things still needed to be thought through by herself, and others could only serve as guidance.

Being soft-hearted is Ling Yue's strength, but it is also her weakness that others use to hurt her.

Forget it, even if they are all gone, Xiangzhong will make arrangements for Lingyue in advance.

After a while, the mosquitoes began to look for their favorite food. The eldest sister slapped a mosquito that wanted to have close contact with her arm to death, and then pulled Lingyue into the house.

"Tell me something you're interested in." He stepped into the living room, lowered the door curtain, and said softly, "Minister Hu from the Ministry of Culture came to visit us last time. He said they wanted to implement educational reforms and wanted you to enroll at the Imperial University of Peking and teach some students. He wanted me to pass on a message."

Hearing this, Ling Yue opened her mouth in surprise: "Huh? I didn't hear about it when I went to the Forbidden City yesterday."

"You haven't seen Minister Hu, have you?"

Ling Yue nodded. Indeed, at that time, things happened one after another and she was also confused, so she only went to the Ministry of Economic Affairs.

"Maybe Minister Hu was busy and didn't have time to see you," the elder sister said with a smile, "Xiangzhong also has this idea, but considering that you may be on the front line frequently in the future, I wanted to ask your opinion and take your opinion as the priority."

The main reason was that Minister Hu came with his family to bring up the matter, so she had no choice but to speak up. Otherwise, she was too lazy to take care of work matters.

Ling Yue poured a glass of water for her elder sister, but she didn't agree at once. She only said, "Let me think about it first. I've been having a lot of things lately."

Because of the decisive action from above, the current universities have not suspended classes, so it is uncertain what the education will be like after the reform. If workers, peasants and soldiers are recommended, she will not take this opportunity.

The reason for recommending workers, peasants and soldiers was not that there were no good students, but that the quality of their education was uneven, and she really didn't want to spend time selecting students.

If they entered through the college entrance examination, it is not impossible. At least we can know that they have a good foundation and no problem with learning ability. She has always been teaching students, but these students did not study with her systematically throughout the whole process.

After hearing the message, the eldest sister didn't care anymore. If she was asked to pass on the message, she would just pass on the message.

"Okay, if you've made up your mind, just tell your Uncle Zhou directly."

"Okay, big sister, you rest first, I'm going back to my room."

Without further ado, Ling Yue turned around and went back to her room. Tang Nancheng also wanted to report the situation outside.

As soon as I went out, Tang Nancheng was waiting at the door.

"Brother Tang, come in and talk." Ling Yue opened the door, turned around and pushed Tang Nancheng in.

"No need to push. I can control this wheelchair very well now."

"I know, I know." He agreed, but she had already pushed him into the room.

Tang Nancheng sighed helplessly and then handed the things in the bag to Ling Yue.

"These are the shares I've paid you over the past three years. According to the previous plan, 90% will be used to comfort the orphans of martyrs, subsidize soldiers discharged due to injuries, and support primary and secondary schools below the county level. The rest will be placed in a special passbook. Take a look."

Ling Yue trusted Tang Nancheng very much, but she still opened it and took a look: "There are still so many?"
