Lin Wei quickly waved her hand, "Sister, this is perfect, we have everything we need, you've really gone to so much trouble."
"We're family, so let's not speak like strangers."
Guan Wenru patted her hand, and then Qin Yue called her over to help make tea.
Qin Yue was increasingly satisfied with her future daughter-in-law. She was good-looking, seemed to have a stable personality, and was a nurse in the military, the same profession as her son, so they had common interests.
She pulled Lin Wei to sit down on the kang (a heated brick bed), handed her a cup of hot tea, and said gently, "Little Lin, make yourself at home here, don't be shy."
"Thank you, Auntie, I'm not at all shy."
Lin Wei accepted the teacup with both hands and answered obediently.
Qin Yue smiled and looked her over, then started chatting casually, "Hongqi, that kid, in the army, he only ever reports good news and never bad. Every time he writes back, he says everything's going well and smoothly! Tell your aunt, how is he really doing in the army? Is it tough? Has he gotten into any trouble?"
Lin Wei held the warm teacup, her eyes flickering slightly.
After a moment, she put down her teacup, sat up straighter, and her tone became serious, "Auntie, Hongqi... he is indeed very outstanding and ambitious! He always takes the lead in many missions, but..."
She paused, her voice lowering, "They have indeed encountered quite a few dangers. Last year, things weren't peaceful on the border, and their regiment went up there for rotation. On one reconnaissance mission, they almost...didn't make it back! Another time, during an exercise, they fell off a vehicle and broke their arm, and had to lie in bed for quite a while."
Qin Yue's face turned pale upon hearing this, and she unconsciously clutched her chest, her voice trembling, "Ah? This...this child! Why didn't you ever mention it! How badly were you hurt? Are you all better now?"
"Auntie, don't worry too much, everything is fine now."
Lin Wei quickly reassured him, her tone tinged with lingering fear, "Actually... I know him because he was always getting injured and going to the hospital. I was his assigned nurse... As far as I can remember, he's been hospitalized three or four times, big or small."
These words broke Qin Yue's heart even more, and her eyes welled up with tears again. "This child...this child...really..."
Seeing Qin Yue's reaction, Lin Wei hesitated for a moment, then posed a more practical question:
"Moreover... Auntie, there are rumors circulating in the military that there will be streamlining and reorganization, so the future of units like Hongqi might change."
Actually…I privately advised him, why not…consider leaving the military and transferring to civilian life? After all, it's always so dangerous, and it's not a long-term solution.”
Qin Yue nodded immediately, as if she had found the right direction, "Yes, yes, yes! It's good to be discharged from the military and transferred to civilian work! He'll be back and settled! He's a military officer being transferred, so there are preferential policies, and he'll definitely be able to transfer back to his hometown, the capital! They can always find him a job!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wei sighed softly, a hint of helplessness in her eyes:
"We've inquired about the relevant policies, and it's possible to transfer back, but... the initial intention is probably to assign him to the security department of a hospital or the security office of a large factory... Hongqi... seems unwilling to go."
Qin Yue frowned immediately, her tone filled with confusion, "What's wrong with the security department? It's a respectable job! You're sheltered from the wind and rain, it's so stable! Why doesn't he want to? What does he want to do?"
Lin Wei seemed stumped by the question. She frowned slightly. "This... I don't know either. Auntie, please ask him again."
The two then talked about other topics.
After a while, Lin Wei looked in the direction of Guan Wenru, her tone carrying just the right amount of envy and admiration, "Auntie, before I came, Hongqi told me that my sister is really amazing. She was in a coma for five years, and as soon as she woke up, she started her own business and opened two very big restaurants. The business is booming, right?"
"Sister is really bold and capable. It seems that the policy now allows the development of the individual economy... I just don't know if Hongqi will be willing to do individual business."
Qin Yue was stunned.
Consider this issue carefully.
If your son is unwilling to work in the security department or take the college entrance examination, perhaps you could consider self-employment.
She knew how much money her daughter's shop had made these past few months.
Lin Wei sat quietly to the side, picked up her teacup, and gently blew on the steam, as if she had just made a casual remark.
But a fleeting, almost imperceptible shrewdness flashed across her clear eyes.
