Zhu Yongqiang was also an impatient person. As soon as he put down his chopsticks, he rushed to the leader's house.
As soon as he saw her, he couldn't wait to tell her about Guan Wenru's desire to become a zookeeper.
The leader also wanted to take better care of the Guan family and wanted Guan Wenru to have an easy job.
But if Guan Wen really wants to be a zookeeper, then that should be respected.
Having understood the commander's meaning, Zhu Yongqiang hurriedly went to the camp again.
He knew that He Yanzhi and his group had been conducting nighttime training exercises recently.
After finding He Yan, he asked directly, "Do you know that your wife wants to be a zookeeper?"
"!" He Yanzhi's expression froze for a moment.
Seeing his expression, Zhu Yongqiang knew that Guan Wenru hadn't told him. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't you and your wife communicate your feelings at home? Such a big thing, and she didn't even discuss it with you first?"
He Yanzhi cleared his throat. "Reporting to the political commissar, I support whatever decision she makes. She doesn't need to consult with me."
Zhu Yongqiang squinted. "You also support her becoming a zookeeper? That's no easy job."
It must be admitted that Guan Wenru's desire to become a zookeeper also surprised He Yanzhi.
"Political Commissar, I request to have a strategic consultation with Comrade Guan Wenru! If she insists on focusing on the livestock front, our unit will do its utmost to provide logistical support! If she is afraid that the turmoil outside will affect her and Grandma Guan, and that's why she wants to do this job, I will advise her to think it over."
Zhu Yongqiang nodded in satisfaction. "That's for the best. There are some things that your leader and I can't explain too clearly. When you get back, talk to Mr. Guan and your wife. Our pigsty here is much safer than the ivory tower outside. They don't need to live so cautiously. It's just a job. Don't have so many worries. Your wife is educated and cultured. If she can do easy work, she should do easy work. There's no need for her to do the dirtiest and most tiring work just because of her so-called status."
He Yanzhi saluted. "Yes, thank you, Political Commissar."
...
Perhaps it was because of the awkwardness after our kiss last night.
He Yanzhi returned even later that night.
He didn't get home until 2 a.m.
He returned at one o'clock last night, and by then, Guan Wenru was already extremely sleepy.
He assumed that since he only returned at 2 a.m., Guan Wenru would be asleep by now.
But when he entered the room and saw Guan Wenru, his heart skipped a beat for a moment, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
The warmth from that accidental touch last night suddenly rekindled on my lips.
Upon seeing him, Guan Wenru hurriedly closed the book and got off the kang (a heated brick bed).
Just like the previous times, she took the initiative to pour him a glass of warm water.
He Yanzhi looked somewhat helpless, deliberately keeping a straight face as he unbuttoned his military overcoat. "Didn't I say you don't need to wait for me?"
Guan Wenru pursed her lips, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Seeing her like this, He Yanzhi sighed softly, "Just say what you have to say."
Guan Wenru mustered her courage, looked up at him, and asked, "Brother He, you come home so late every day, are you avoiding me?"
"!"
He Yanzhi's heart skipped a beat, and an unnatural look flashed in his eyes. "No, we've really been busy lately."
"Oh, that's not the best option. You should wash up and get some rest."
After saying that, Guan Wenru turned around and wanted to go inside to sleep.
He Yanzhi remembered what the political commissar had said, and he reached out and grabbed her arm.
Guan Wenru's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly turned to look at him.
He Yanzhi realized his behavior was abrupt and let go of her hand. "Sorry, I just wanted to ask you about your job. I heard from the political commissar that you want to be a zookeeper?"
"Oh, yes... I do have that idea, but I don't know if it's in accordance with the rules. If possible, I would really like to become a zookeeper."
"Why?" He Yanzhi stared at her with his dark, deep eyes, as if trying to read her true thoughts from her face.
Guan Wenru blinked. "I don't want to be a teacher, a salesperson, a sanitation worker, or even a member of the propaganda team. I've actually read books about animal husbandry at school, and I want to try being a herdsman."
He Yanzhi saw a firmness in her eyes.
He was very surprised.
Guan Wenru has never suffered much hardship since childhood, and her family is well-off. Why would she want to become a herdsman?
This job involves being exposed to wind, sun, and rain, and in winter, you'll freeze.
But seeing the determination in her eyes, he didn't say anything. "Okay, since this is your decision, we respect it. But if you can't do it, just tell me. Don't be shy. No matter what, we are husband and wife in name only. I have the responsibility and obligation to take good care of you. Even if you don't work, my allowance can support you and Grandma."
After saying this, He Yanzhi seemed to remember something, and he slapped his forehead in annoyance, "Wait for me a moment."
After saying that, he hurriedly went into the bedroom.
He rummaged through his trunk and pulled out a wooden box.
The box contained various receipts he had accumulated over the years, as well as a bankbook.
He is now a regimental commander, and his monthly salary is 193 yuan.
He didn't have many expenses while in the military.
Over the years, I have saved more than 4,000 yuan.
He handed the box to Guan Wenru, saying, "During our marriage, I will be responsible for all household expenses."
Guan Wenru was not short of money, but his act of voluntarily handing over his salary still pleased her.
She didn't take it immediately. "Brother He, you're really giving it to me? Aren't you afraid I'll squander all your money?"
He Yanzhi chuckled and handed the box to her. “From the moment I give this to you, you can spend it however you want. I will set aside my own expenses each month and give you the rest. So… it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to work. I should have enough money to live on.”
