Chapter 121 The Child is Quiet

Lin Xiangnan had a strange look in his eyes. He stared at Gu Zhenhua's legs for several times, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

She didn't dare to imagine what it would be like to have a cramp in her third leg.

There was a hint of color in her smile, and Gu Zhenhua understood it immediately.

Gu Zhenhua was furious and said, "I shouldn't have told you this. You are not a serious person."

"Hehe~" Lin Xiangnan covered his mouth and laughed.

Gu Zhenhua wanted to say something, but he felt that he could not beat Lin Xiangnan in the argument, so he simply held Lin Xiangnan's face and kissed him several times.

"Oh~ stop it, stop it, I won't laugh at you anymore." Lin Xiangnan had no choice but to give in.

Gu Zhenhua then snorted proudly, and walked out while tidying up his clothes.

Lin Xiangnan slowly got up at this time.

After she brushed her teeth and before she started eating, Hu Meili handed her a letter.

"I wrote it myself, can you check it for me?"

Since there was new development on Lin Xiangnan's side, Hu Meili naturally had to write a letter back to tell her two sons. She wrote the letter overnight.

"Oh my, you've improved. You can actually write letters by yourself. Didn't you always ask me to help you write before?"

Lin Xiangnan looked at Hu Meili in surprise, flicked the piece of letter paper frivolously, and then began to read it quickly.

"Isn't Luo Caixia next door studying? I followed her and studied too." Hu Meili said with some regret: "In the past two months, several companies have had recruitment exams, and she didn't pass any of them."

Military families are given special care and have more opportunities, but there is nothing they can do if they fail the exam.

"I was unlucky last year because I didn't pass any exams." Lin Xiangnan couldn't help but sigh. If she was given a chance to take the exam, she would definitely seize the opportunity and pass.

But starting last year, the domestic economy became tense and higher authorities issued a document requiring strict control over the growth of the total number of employees. As soon as the policy was announced, no unit went against the grain and basically no workers were recruited.

The situation is slightly better this year, but the employment situation remains very grim.

This year, several young people from the family compound went to the countryside, and there were even more in the factory.

Her family doesn't have the trouble of going to the countryside this year, so Lin Xiangnan doesn't care much about this matter this year.

After checking Hu Meili's letter, Lin Xiangnan said, "There are a lot of typos in it. I'll circle them and correct them for you. Can you recopy it?"

"Tsk~" Hu Meili didn't want to write anymore. "Isn't it enough to understand it? No need to copy it anymore."

Lin Xiangnan complained: "The key is that you wrote twins as Shuang Peng Tai. I can understand it, but my younger brothers definitely can't understand it. And your graduation certificate has "graduation needle" written on it. What's it for? Do you have to get a needle after graduation?"

Lin Xiaodi should have graduated this year, but he stopped studying last year and went to work. He has a job and is not a vagrant. Although he stopped studying last year, the school will still issue him a diploma.

Hu Meili reminded Lin Xiangxi in the letter, asking him to remember to go to school to get it and not to forget.

Although I don’t know what the use of a junior high school diploma is, it is still a certificate after all.

While helping Hu Meili correct her typos, Lin Xiangnan said to her, "Have you told me about our factory's recruitment? Write a few more sentences in the letter and ask him to read more books. There may be other opportunities in the future. Otherwise, if he wants a raise, he still has time to wait."

There was a college entrance examination at the end of 1977. In the first few years of reform and opening up, the policy was not stable, and it was too risky to start a business, so it was better to go to a good school to get some experience.

I already have a job, so even if Lin Xiangnan wants to persuade me to study, he can only use the salary as an excuse.

If Lin Xiangxi wants to increase his salary quickly in the next two years, he has no choice but to become a head chef. However, Uncle Pang is still a few years away from retirement, and another apprentice, Zhang Yong, has been in the restaurant longer than Lin Xiangxi. Lin Xiangxi's hope of promotion is slim.

"You can read. Tell your brother what books to read." Hu Meili also wanted her child to get a raise, so she agreed wholeheartedly.

"There's no need to make a list of books. It's not easy for him to find those books. I can just send the books back to him. But my little brother doesn't like reading. Mom, please mention it in your letter and ask my big brother to keep an eye on him."

After thinking for a while, Lin Xiangnan said, "I will also send a letter to you and talk about this matter separately."

In the family compound and the military factory, because the environment is relatively closed and the technical department holds annual recruitment exams, there is a strong learning atmosphere.

There are many students out there who drop out of elementary and junior high school.

If the situation in their factory can continue to remain the same, even if the news of the college entrance examination comes suddenly, many people will be admitted to university.

Not to mention others, just Wang Shuhua and Wu Zhonghou, who were admitted this year, have very solid basic knowledge. If they take the college entrance examination, they will definitely pass.

Lin Xiangnan admired the two people's learning attitude, so when he arrived at the office, Lin Xiangnan asked curiously: "How did Chief Engineer Zhang arrange it? Didn't he say that when he was not busy, he would find someone to teach them?"

Old Qian took the initiative to say: "Chief Engineer Zhang came to see me yesterday."

"Oh, so it belongs to you." Lin Xiangnan praised: "You have a good temper and patience, it's just right for you to be given it."

Anyway, I can't give it to her, her belly is so big. She just won a model worker award, not a real model worker.

Old Qian raised his eyebrows. "It's not me. I pushed it off. My dad is in the hospital and I'm too busy. Chief Engineer Zhang meant that Wang Shuhua and the others are fine the way they are now. Whoever is free can take care of them."

It just so happened that Lao Qian was about to leave the workshop, so before leaving he went to the big office next door to say hello.

Wang Shuhua and Wu Zhonghou followed happily.

The college entrance examination has been suspended for so many years. Now this group of young people study hard not for the purpose of getting into a good school, but for getting promoted and getting a raise in salary.

Salary is the most original motivation for them to study.

This month is not as busy as before, and everyone in the office has some free time, so Wang Shuhua and others have more candidates to choose from when they ask questions.

Lin Xiangnan also breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally they are not bothering me anymore. Last month, the two of them followed me around like my left and right guardians."

"Then who are they going to bother with? Sun Yi?" asked Lao Qian.

Sun Yi spread his hands, "No. They haven't come near me much these past two days."

Several people in the office compared the statements and suddenly felt something was wrong.

If a child is quiet, he must be up to something.

Lin Xiangnan thought about some of the questions Wang Shuhua and the others had asked a few days ago, and said, "They seem to be researching aviation machine guns recently. Did they go to the workshop to pester Master Li and the others?"

"It's good to have a spirit of research. But I'm still a little scared." Sun Yi was the first to get impatient. "I'm going to look for them now."
