I didn't expect Shen Youran to admit that her qualifications were less than his.

Too!

He was the only one who occasionally resented Shen Youran for choosing to be a female soldier. In fact, she had already forgotten about him and treated him as if he didn't exist.

Because I don't care, I can talk about these things calmly.

Lu Yifan felt completely relieved.

There is no need to fight anymore. In the end, it will be given to whoever the leader wants.

In short, if there is an opportunity for promotion, whoever gets it this time will be someone else next time.

Half a month passed in a flash.

During this half month, both the superiors and the division commanders had considered the matter and finally decided to leave this position to Lu Yifan.

When the decision was announced, all the group leaders and deputy group leaders were called together.

Once again, discussions were held.

Everyone's comments were similar to the last time. After they finished speaking, the division commander clasped his hands together and said, "After accepting everyone's opinions and discussing with my superiors, we decided to give the position of deputy regiment commander to Comrade Lu."

"Comrade Lu has been in the army for a long time and has been in the position of battalion commander for a short time. He did make contributions some time ago, so he is the deputy regiment commander."

"Of course, Comrade Shen is also very capable, but she has only been in the army for a short time, and now she is pregnant, so she can only do some clerical work. Let's give her some time for now."

"Comrade Shen is so outstanding. If there is a chance for promotion next time, it will be her. There is no need to discuss it further. It can be confirmed directly."

After the commander finished speaking, no one had anything to say because their superiors had already made the decision and there was no point in their discussion.

"Send the appointment letter!"

After the commander finished speaking, everyone nodded, discussed the training plan for next month, and then adjourned the meeting.

The meeting was held in the morning and the appointment letter came down at noon. The entire army knew that Lu Yifan was promoted to deputy regiment commander.

Lu Yifan didn't know about this yet. He had been feeling upset these past two days because he wanted to tell Zhou Xiaohui to let his parents come over to take care of the child, but he was afraid that she would not agree.

I was a little absent-minded during training.

The soldier came to him with the appointment letter and explained the matter to him.

"Congratulations to Captain Lu on his promotion to deputy regiment commander. The division commander wants you to go over to him and officially report to him. You will then take over the battalion commander's duties."

After the soldier said this, Lu Yifan was stunned for a few seconds, and then a happy expression appeared on his face.

It's a promotion after all!

He took the appointment letter and went to the division commander's office.

The division commander congratulated him at first, and then slowly criticized him a few times. Because Lu Yifan had performed very well in the first few years after joining the army, he was promoted very quickly.

But ever since his divorce from Shen Youran, things he did weren't so satisfactory.

The commander's warning was to tell him that the reason he was able to get this position was not because Shen Youran was not as good as him, but because he had more experience.

Promotions in the military are based on seniority, and this is just one point where he wins over Shen Youran.

How could Lu Yifan not understand what the division commander meant? After listening, he immediately saluted and promised: "Thank you, division commander and superiors, for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely do what a deputy regiment commander should do and will never be the same as before."

After hearing the guarantee, the commander finally felt relieved.

The news spread everywhere.

The people in the family compound must have known about it as well.

Shen Youran and Bai Lishuang also knew about it.

On the way home in the afternoon, Bai Lishuang felt a little aggrieved, "Didn't the commander always praise you before? Why did he give this position to him?"

"Silly girl, don't think about it. I don't mind it, so you don't have to worry about it either!"

"Would you like to eat glutinous rice balls? How about I make them for you this afternoon?"

Hearing that there was something new, and something she had never eaten before, Bai Lishuang nodded, took Shen Youran's hand, and gently supported him, "Then I'll go back and help you, sister!"

"Go and ask Xiaoxue and Lu Linchuan to come over for dinner. Let's have a good meal this afternoon."

"By the way, call Xiuping and Xiaoyun, they are here too. We are all acquaintances, there is no need to be restrained!"

Shen Youran sent Bai Lishuang away.

After returning home, I purchased ingredients in the space. By the time they arrived, everything that needed to be cooked had been prepared. Now all I had to do was serve them on the table and eat.

They often ate in the yard, and the aroma wafted out.

The compound is very lively today because everyone is talking about Lu Yifan's promotion.

Zhou Xiaohui changed into a beautiful outfit, wearing her favorite white dress with floral patterns, and went downstairs to the compound with her son in her arms.

Today is the big day when her husband gets promoted, so she has to come here and let everyone congratulate her.

"Have you heard that Captain Lu has been promoted and is now the deputy regiment commander?"

"His previous performance was indeed quite good, so it's no big deal that he's getting promoted now. The reason why You Ran didn't get promoted is that her qualifications are slightly worse than his."

"I think so too, otherwise You Ran wouldn't be bad!"

"That's great. I heard Xiuping and her friends went to Youran's house for dinner this afternoon. Didn't you smell the delicious food? I'm so hungry!"

"I heard that Youran has a new hot pot ingredient. She said she could teach us or we could take two pieces home from her. I want to go to her house tomorrow to ask how she makes it."

"Go take two pieces home. I can't make this. We can buy some from her!"

"My husband always asks me if he can ask Youran for some recipes. The food they cook is so delicious. The aroma of the food is really mouth-watering!"

“Wow, I didn’t expect my sister-in-law to be such a cultured person today!”

Everyone was joking here, and Zhou Xiaohui came over holding the child.

"The sisters-in-law are all here!"

"I thought my sisters-in-law were all eating at home right now."

Zhou Xiaohui greeted her, but no one paid attention to her. Everyone was talking about their own things, still discussing how delicious the food at Shen Youran's house was.

"Speaking of food," Zhou Xiaohui forced herself to continue, "Today is the day my brother Yifan got promoted to deputy group leader. I have to go out and get some food. Our brother Yifan needs to eat more."

She was so proud of herself here, and the military wives next to her didn't want to pay attention to her, but she insisted on going over to talk to her.

He smiled sarcastically, "I know the sisters-in-law are unhappy, but there is nothing we can do. Our brother Yifan has been in the army for so many years, and he has some experience to a certain extent."
