Chapter 134 The Culprit
The clothes for the rest of the people were also ready.
Aunt Chu will go back after the Lantern Festival because her two brothers still have to go to school and there are still many things to do at home.
So Lin Anan took out the clothes of the three of them first.
The old lady was not tall, so I made her a medium-short cotton-padded jacket in dark purple with buttons, which was fashionable and warm.
Several small suits were made from red checkered cashmere fabric to create stylish and comfortable sets.
Chu Minglan hugged Lin Anan's arm and said coquettishly: "Sister-in-law, I don't want you to be so tired, I have clothes..."
"I will replace all your clothes sooner or later. Frugality is a virtue, but we also have to live in the present! Girls should be raised in a proper way and not be wronged."
Lin Anan knew very well what it meant to raise a child in wealth. In this era, every household had only a little bit of assets, and a family that could have enough food every day was considered a good family. The salary of soldiers was fixed, so it was impossible to give children overwhelming wealth.
Wealth means both material and spiritual wealth. You can be diligent and frugal, but you must never put your children in a difficult position or cultivate a mentality of being inferior to others from a young age.
The world is full of temptations, and girls who have never seen the world may suffer greater losses in the future...
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Lin Anan touched her head and said, "After the Spring Festival, my sister-in-law will also work hard to make money, and we will get better and better."
Chu Minglan hurriedly shook her head. "My brother said that it is more important for my sister-in-law to keep in good health! I will grow up soon, and when the time comes, I will go to work, and I will be able to support my sister-in-law."
Lin Anan was amused by Chu Minglan's words and gently pinched her cheek: "You little girl, you still want to support your sister-in-law? It's okay as long as you have this intention.
But your current task is to study hard and acquire solid knowledge, so that you will have more choices in the future."
"But... sister-in-law, Xi Yingyue and the others all said that studying is useless and it's better to earn work points when you grow up. There are not many people who can go to middle school anyway, let alone workers, peasants and soldiers. There is only one sister-in-law in our compound."
When Lin Anan heard this, her brows slightly frowned and her expression became serious: "Xiaolan, don't listen to their nonsense! How can studying be useless? Only by studying can you understand reason.
Our country is in the development stage and needs you to study hard to build it. If you don’t study, who will push the country forward?
Nowadays, all walks of life are eager for knowledgeable talents. For example, industrial development also needs people who understand principles and can innovate to help, and education needs knowledgeable teachers to cultivate the next generation... "
Lin Anan explained earnestly, fearing that Chu Minglan would be led astray.
The college entrance examination was resumed in 1977, two years later.
Chu Minglan is only twelve years old and is now in the fifth grade.
Junior high and high schools are still two-year systems now, so she will have to take the college entrance examination in four years at the earliest.
There’s still time!
But she couldn't tell anyone about the resumption of the college entrance examination.
At present, we can only encourage the younger ones to study hard and make progress.
Chu Minglan nodded seriously, "Okay, I'll listen to my sister-in-law. I will help Brother Yu study hard."
"good."
There was something urgent happening in the army, so Chu Mingzhou went to deal with it in the afternoon.
Lin Anan finished dinner and was about to put away her clothes when someone knocked on the door.
"Qiao Xu?"
Lu Qing was with Qiao Xu, so Lin Anan couldn't refuse him entry.
"Comrade Lin, I have something to talk to you about."
"Come in and sit down."
Tomorrow is the day when Lin Zihuai and Mu Youwei will compete. Lin Anan thought they came for this matter, but she didn't expect... to hear about Jiang Tong from Qiao Xu? ?
Qiao Xu's face was very serious, and Lu Qing who was following him also had a sullen expression.
Lu Qing usually looks like a smiling tiger, but it is rare to see him like this, which also shows the seriousness of the matter.
Qiao Xu raised his hand and rubbed his brow, "Is Captain Chu not back yet?"
"No."
"I will report this matter tomorrow, but this person... I feel it is necessary to inform you."
Lin Anan quickly spoke up to clear the relationship, "Jiang Tong is just a fellow villager of mine, not a relative or sister, so we don't have a grudge against each other! Okay, just tell me what you want to say."
Qiao Xu: “…”
Lin Anan knew that Qiao Xu was injured a few days ago. After all, they were both "patients together". His face was still very pale and he probably hadn't fully recovered yet.
We also know that he was injured while on a mission for the Northwest Military Region.
But Lin Anan didn't expect that the place where he went on the mission was the Gobi Green Development Belt area. Was he injured because of Jiang Tong? ?
Qiao Xu didn't say anything a few days ago because of the confidentiality of the matter, and he couldn't tell anyone. Now that everything has been investigated, he knows that he has been fooled!
"The Gobi Desert development site needs to be equipped with air defense equipment. My grandfather asked me to go there and cooperate with the Northwest Military Region to do preliminary surveys and preparations. As you know, the Gobi Desert is close to other countries. Even though there are few people, the confidentiality is very high..."
As luck would have it, Qiao Xu ran into Jiang Tong, who had sprained her ankle, near the development site.
Qiao Xu thought she was a nearby villager and asked her to leave quickly. But she lied and said that she was an educated youth from Suzhou who came to the countryside. She cried so hard that her eyes were wet and begged someone to send her back. She kept saying that she was also a military dependent and her brother-in-law was also from the Northwest Military Region.
Qiao Xu never expected that he would run into Lin Anan's relatives just by going out...
Qiao Xu was not stupid either. He took the person away from the origin and asked him carefully for a long time. The answer he got was naturally affirmative.
Since they are all Lin Anan’s family, Qiao Xu naturally has to send her back.
The place where Jiang Tong lived was indeed an old educated youth site. When Qiao Xu sent her back, he was surrounded by onlookers because he was driving a jeep military vehicle that only military district leaders could use.
In this way, Captain Qiao was unknowingly used by Jiang Tong to make a fuss, and inexplicably became Jiang Tong's "relationship". That night, the nature of Jiang Tong's work changed.
Qiao Xu didn't think much about it and thought that the matter was over.
Unexpectedly, the next day Jiang Tong came again with a basket in the name of thanking him, and brought a few young people with him.
Qiao Xu had other things to do, so he thanked them and let them leave.
The other soldiers were very dissatisfied, but since they were friends of Captain Qiao, they did not dare to say much.
As a result, Jiang Tong accidentally triggered the warning device! In an emergency, he encountered quicksand...
While everyone was busy rescuing the injured, Jiang Tong was frightened and screamed in tears. She ran around in panic and stepped into a sand pit that was filled with quicksand.
Qiao Xu was quick to pull her, but was pulled down. His arm rubbed against a sharp stone, leaving a long cut and his back was also injured. He also sank into the quicksand, and the sand and snow wrapped around him and froze him as well.
Fortunately, his comrades reacted quickly and rescued the two of them, but Qiao Xu was seriously injured and the progress of the mission was seriously delayed.
When Lin Anan heard this, she was so angry that her face turned blue: "You believe this? It's such an important matter. What would you do if she is a spy?"
