Chapter 505 Ten Years
After taking a break at home for two days, Lin Anan immediately returned to her job.
I thought that during her three-month absence, the work would pile up like a mountain, but it turned out to be a surprise... the commander's office was still running smoothly without her.
"Secretary Lin, this is the chief's schedule for this week."
"receive."
"The afternoon military meeting is about to begin, so hurry up and get ready."
"OK."
Lin Anan started to pack up the meeting materials without stopping, and Chief of Staff Li and Minister Yang immediately threw several tasks at her.
Chief of Staff Li: "Secretary Lin, you performed very well in the command room last time. Come with me tomorrow morning to inspect the defense combat simulations of each regiment. In addition, you should also follow the command deployment of the exercise campaign and help me take notes."
Lin Anan: "No problem."
Minister Yang: "Secretary Lin, are you okay on Wednesday? There is a martyr's family member who is very difficult to deal with. The leader asked me to go there in person. You are good at speaking and it would be easier for you to communicate with female comrades. Come with me."
Lin Anan: “…”
"Okay~"
More things to do will temper a person. Over time, Lin Anan was trained into a hexagonal warrior, a true "jack of all trades" of the Northwest Military Region.
She can handle military affairs, trivial matters, and cannot avoid all diplomatic affairs.
…
Time flies, and ten years pass in the blink of an eye.
August 1, 1987, Army Day.
Since Commander Zheng’s honorable retirement, the Northwest Military Region has welcomed a new chief.
Lin Anan never thought that after working so hard, Chu Mingzhou would become her immediate superior.
When Chu Mingzhou came on stage in a neat military uniform and took over the position of supreme commander of the Northwest Military Region.
There was prolonged applause from the audience.
In fact, Lin Anan was happier than anyone else.
Scenes from the past ten years flashed through my mind.
As the youngest lieutenant general, Chu Mingzhou deserves the title.
Everyone said that with Chu Mingzhou in the Northwest Military Region, it was impregnable and no one dared to invade.
He has made himself a barrier in northwest China.
It's really amazing.
Lin Anan smiled and clapped with everyone else.
After the succession ceremony was over, the two walked side by side towards home as usual.
"Let's change our clothes first when we get back. Xiaolan is bringing her boyfriend home today, so don't scare him."
"Don't think too much. Li Wangjiang has a good character and you can't scare him."
It's fate.
To talk about the recent past, Li Wangjiang was Chu Minglan’s college classmate. He was both good in character and academic performance, and joined the defense department after graduation.
Going back a long way, Li Wangjiang was a child rescued by Lin Anan during the flood in Henan Province.
The kindness of a pill eventually led to a wonderful fate.
Chu Minglan is naturally also very good. She still holds her paintbrush, but now she draws national defense construction drawings, becoming the youngest national defense surveying and mapping designer.
"Brother, sister-in-law."
Chu Minglan is twenty-two years old.
The skinny little girl when I first met her has now grown into a graceful, bright and brave young lady.
Chu Minglan has changed a lot. The only thing that remains unchanged is her shyness and attachment to Lin Anan.
Lin Anan has a special feeling for Chu Minglan. She never feels that she raised her alone. Instead, she feels that she is the one who has always taken care of herself.
They are not biological sisters, but they are better than biological sisters.
"Sister-in-law, my future brother-in-law has arrived." Chu Mingyu took two steps forward, raised his chin, and pointed in the direction of the main hall.
"Brother Yu!" Chu Minglan's face turned red and she glared at Chu Mingyu.
"Okay, stop making fun of your sister."
Chu Mingyu just returned to China two days ago.
The little guy has shown great creativity since he was young, so Lin Anan has been training him in this direction, and has never stopped his dream, no matter how much money it costs.
As expected, Chu Mingyu did not disappoint anyone.
He completed his university studies at the age of sixteen and was sent abroad by the state for further studies.
As soon as he returned to China, he was absorbed by China Aviation Industry.
This trip home will allow him to rest for a few days, after which he will set off for Kyoto to pursue his aviation career.
"Sister Lan, go sit in the hall too. Your sister-in-law must have something to say to Wang Jiang."
"Brother, let me do it."
"I don't need you."
Chu Minglan wanted to go into the kitchen to continue cooking, but was stopped by Chu Mingzhou, who rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen himself.
When he returned home, Chu Mingzhou was still the same Chu Mingzhou, with life always in his eyes and his hands and feet more nimble than anyone else. The same hands that held the gun could also pick up the spatula very steadily. He did not look like a military chief at all.
Seeing Li Wangjiang sitting there nervously, Lin Anan quickly straightened her military uniform and led Chu Minglan into the main hall.
As soon as Lin Anan came in, Li Wangjiang stood up immediately. Without saying hello first, he bowed deeply and solemnly.
"Hey... hurry up, what are you doing!?"
The little bit of parental airs that Lin Anan had just mustered were immediately destroyed by him.
"Sister, no, sister-in-law! Thank you for saving my life."
The little boy in her memory overlapped with the person in front of her, and Lin Anan's eyes felt a little hot.
That pill was nothing to Lin Anan back then. She never expected that there was someone who was so grateful.
"Please take a seat. It was just a small favor back then. I don't deserve your generous reward."
"It may not mean much to you, but it is life-saving grace to me. My grandma always told me to follow your example, study hard, and give back to the country and society."
"Come on, sit down and talk."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Li Wangjiang was a very gentle man, tall, fair-skinned, polite, and very cultured in his conversation.
When Lin Anan learned that Aunt Li, who used to send her roasted sweet potatoes every day, had passed away, she felt a little choked up in her throat.
"Sister-in-law, there is no one at my house."
"But I promise that I won't let Minglan suffer even a little bit."
"I will definitely treat her well and value her more than myself."
"As long as you nod your heads, you will be my family from now on, and I will definitely treat you in every possible way..."
It is obvious that no matter how smart a person is, he or she will still be tongue-tied when meeting parents.
Even if I want to make a promise or express something, the words that come out are full of immaturity.
But, it's very sincere.
"It still depends on Xiaolan's own opinion. Her brother and I respect her."
Lin Anan's words were equivalent to a nod.
But Li Wangjiang didn't hear it.
He responded seriously: "I will talk to my brother about it. If he doesn't agree, I will keep working hard until he agrees."
Chu Minglan was amused by him, "Idiot!"
"Ah? Minglan, what did you say?"
"I said you're stupid."
Lin Anan also smiled so hard that her eyes curved.
Just then, the door was opened, and several jumping footsteps and the "woof woof" sound of Tuanzi came over.
"Mother."
"mom."
"Mom~"
Chu Ruicheng came back from school holding his younger brother and sister's hands.
"Zhuangzhuang, Yangyang, Zhaozhao."
"Aunt~"
"Tuanzi is the one who picked us up today."
"Go wash your hands first." Lin Anan stood up, forcibly took the three little ones away and went to the bathroom.
I deliberately left space for the young couple to talk, so that Li Wangjiang would not be nervous when facing Chu Mingzhou.
