Yang Dejun was taken aback. This wasn't about him, so why did the topic suddenly shift to his eldest grandson, Yang Chenyu?
"I do have the idea of letting him go down to exercise."
"However, your eldest brother only has one son. Is he willing to let Shen Xiao go to the island?"
Shen Jichuan smiled faintly.
"That's just a matter of a word from you. Young man, you need to get more experience."
Wen Qiao didn't understand what they meant.
She wasn't really sure what going to the island for training was all about.
All she knew was that as long as the topic didn't involve her, she didn't have to answer questions.
Sitting with older men is truly unbearable, even more so than going to work or school.
Wen Qiao suddenly realized that she wasn't looking for a husband, but rather a father figure, when she looked for Shen Jichuan.
While she was distracted, she suddenly heard Yang Dejun ask.
"Xiao Wen, what kind of work are you doing now? Are you getting used to city life?"
Wen Qiao immediately straightened her posture.
“I am currently working as a temporary worker at the supply and marketing cooperative. At first, I was in the purchasing department, where I went to the fields in the countryside to collect vegetables with the people from the purchasing department. Now, the director of our purchasing department has temporarily asked me to stand behind the counter and sell vegetables.”
"I'm quite used to it. I earn an income by working hard, which is better than living in the countryside."
Shen Jichuan then followed up on Wen Qiao's words, saying, "I said I wanted to change Wen Qiao's job, but she kept saying no, she insisted on supporting herself and relying on herself."
“Wen Qiao now works during the day and attends night school for two hours every night.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Dejun's eyes showed a hint of approval.
"I didn't expect that a woman from the countryside like you would have such a high level of awareness. It's good that you're self-reliant."
Wen Qiao blushed slightly. She knew in her heart that she had only started to support herself because she was forced to by Shen Jichuan.
He said that the two of them could get a marriage certificate, but he wouldn't take care of Wen Qiao's daily expenses.
She has no choice but to earn her own living.
However, now that she feels good about being self-reliant, she doesn't feel tired anymore.
Yang Dejun glanced at Wen Qiao and said with a smile:
"Comrade Xiao Wen, why don't you go out and play for a while? I need to say a few words to Ji Chuan."
Wen Qiao nodded.
As she stood up, she glanced at Shen Jichuan, smiled slightly, and then got up and left.
He then closed the study door behind him.
Shen Jichuan looked at his old leader and asked first, "Do you think there's something wrong with Wen Qiao?"
"No. This girl is good. She's young, but mature enough, not frivolous, and speaks politely and generously. However, she is indeed a bit too young. Perhaps you should wait a year or two. Ji Chuan, I've watched you grow up. If you marry Wen Qiao, I'm afraid people will bring it up."
"Have you thought this through?"
Shen Jichuan said seriously, "I've already thought it through."
"I have to be responsible for that girl, don't I? You all think I'll be fooled, but what could a naive young girl like her possibly do to me?"
"As for what you said about some people in the military using this as a pretext, I don't think it's a problem. They want to target me, Shen Jichuan, and using a young girl as a cover is just too despicable."
Yang Dejun said seriously, "Different political stances mean that not everyone in this world is a good person. Who dares to say they are a good person? It's just a matter of stance that leads to certain actions."
It's not like no one has made a fuss about this before.
There was a political commissar in their military region who married a capitalist's daughter.
Those who were politically opposed to him used his wife's status as a capitalist's daughter to send her to the countryside for re-education.
Fortunately, it was later discovered that the capitalist's daughter had a "red" background.
The military region's political commissar, along with his wife and children, was reinstated to his official position.
Later, they ruthlessly got rid of the person who had messed with them.
Yang Dejun was speaking, but he only wanted to say something to Shen Jichuan.
In the political arena, even if you have no problems, your political enemies may resort to despicable tactics and target your family members.
After all, the age difference between Shen Jichuan and Wen Qiao is too great, and there is a fear that someone might use this to set a trap.
This reminder is meant to give Shen Jichuan some idea of what's going on.
