After the exam, the candidates went back to where they came from.
When Xie Yuyao returned to Qingshan Village, everyone checked the answers and found that they had all done well, proving that their perseverance and hard work had paid off.
After the excitement subsided, life gradually returned to normal.
Now that they were hibernating and didn't need to work in the fields, everyone gathered together to enjoy a rare moment of relaxation and leisure.
Xie Yuyao had something on her mind. Her future was basically set, but Zhao Honghui's was still uncertain!
When the two discussed this matter, Zhao Honghui expressed his desire not to pursue a career that would prevent him from taking care of his family, thus directly excluding him from the military and police system.
On New Year's Day, Zhao Honghui received a phone call from Beijing.
Ye Xingchang asked him if he was interested in a position as a military instructor at the National Defense University of China.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Honghui was immediately tempted.
The National Defense University is the country's highest military academy. Its academic education does not recruit college entrance examination candidates, but rather active-duty officers at the rank of lieutenant or above.
He was fortunate enough to secure a spot there and studied for two years, so he is very familiar with the situation there.
The courses are divided into two main categories: common courses and military courses. The corresponding instructors are civilian instructors and military instructors, with all military instructors being appointed by active-duty officers at the rank of lieutenant colonel or above.
He would be perfectly qualified to return to the military.
Filled with excitement and brimming with enthusiasm, Zhao Honghui hung up the phone and eagerly dialed the number for the Qingshantun Brigade headquarters.
At that time, Xie Yuyao was receiving her mother-in-law Yang Chunhua in the backyard of the educated youth compound, and she was worried about Zhao Honghui's job arrangement.
If a young couple lives apart, that can cause problems!
Xie Yuyao said confidently, "Separation is absolutely impossible. Even if he quits this job, we will go to Beijing together."
“It’s not easy to find a decent job again, so you can’t quit!” Yang Chunhua didn’t know much about her eldest son’s current situation and her thinking was still limited to her hometown circle. She tentatively asked, “Does your family have any way to pull some strings and get Honghui transferred to Beijing?”
"Maternal home?" Xie Yuyao was a little confused when she suddenly heard this word, but then she realized that it was the original owner's maternal home.
"Mom, I think Honghui is considering going back to the army." As his closest bedmate, even though Zhao Honghui had already convinced himself to prioritize his family and Yaoyao and made his decision, she could still sense his regret and true longing.
Yang Chunhua shook her head vigorously: "No, it's too dangerous! Have you forgotten about his disappearance on the glacier?!"
You can't forget it, you'll never forget it in this lifetime. That feeling of anxiety can drain a person dry.
Xie Yuyao said, "Of course I haven't forgotten, but you also know Honghui. Once he joined the army, he served as a soldier for life. The blood of a soldier flows in his veins, and his true ideal is to dedicate his life to national defense."
Yang Chunhua was well aware that this was an honor for their whole family, but she hoped even more that her eldest son could live a peaceful life with his wife, children, and a warm bed.
"Mom, don't worry. He has some concerns and hasn't made a decision yet. Besides, even if he is discharged, he won't go back to his old unit. He'll stay in Kyoto. That's for sure."
Yang Chunhua breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Then can he do an office job or something similar? Something that doesn't involve fighting or killing."
Xie Yuyao smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare say that."
Just as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, a member of the community came to deliver a message that Zhao Honghui was calling. Xie Yuyao then went with Yang Chunhua to the brigade headquarters to answer the phone.
To avoid suspicion, Yang Chunhua did not lean close to Xie Yuyao's ear to listen to her eldest son's words, but wanted to wait until Xie Yuyao hung up the phone before asking what was going on.
No one knew what the daughter-in-law heard the other side say, but she was instantly dumbfounded.
