Chapter 275 Introducing a partner to Lu Xiaolan
The days passed like this. Lu Changzheng tried to come back early every day, took the two children swimming, and taught them slingshot shooting in the morning and helped them practice their aim.
Commander Xu also made adjustments to his studies and began to popularize firearms knowledge to the two children.
Teaching children is naturally not boring. Commander Xu directly asked someone to bring a few scrapped guns and asked someone to teach the two children how to disassemble and assemble them. After teaching, he let the two children play by themselves.
Only by knowing the components of the firearms well can you use it better when you need it.
In mid-July, Su Yiyuan sent good news, saying that his father agreed to his transfer to the food factory and it was also decided.
In the south, everything is developing in a good direction, but for someone in Beijing, it is not so good.
Since he was criticized by the leader for sitting crookedly and crossing his legs when meeting foreign guests in May this year, the leader has not taken him to meet foreign guests again.
Someone felt keenly that he seemed to have "fallen out of favor."
He was anxious, but he found that he could neither get along with the old cadres nor talk to the military people. He had to stick together more closely with the three people who were successful in the movement in an attempt to consolidate his position. However
, his behavior caused the leader to become more and more disappointed in him.
With the rise and fall of the old cadres, those people began to have a hard time. Those people began to realize the importance of armed forces and prepared to establish their own armed forces.
They planned to organize the rebels, distribute guns and ammunition, conduct military training, and when necessary, drag them out to compete.
It was impossible to get such a large amount of guns and ammunition from the state under the pretext of something, at least half of them had to be purchased privately.
This involved money.
Each of these people had his own little thoughts, and it was impossible to ask them to pay. This money could only be found from outside.
So, the Su family came into the sight of several people again.
*****
That day, Su Mo came back from work and was stopped by Director Song of the management office when she passed by the management office.
"Comrade Su Mo, wait a minute!"
Su Mo stopped and waited for Director Song to come over, then asked, "Director Song, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Director Song was a fairly fair person, and Su Mo had a good impression of her.
Director Song smiled and asked in a low voice, "Isn't your sister-in-law not married yet? Someone asked me to be a matchmaker for her. I
want to ask your opinion first." Su Mo was stunned. She didn't expect it was this matter, so she had to refuse, saying, "I have to go back and ask her opinion first. I can't give you an answer for the time being."
Lu Xiaolan is only 23 years old this year. In Su Mo's opinion, she is still young and it is okay to talk about it in a few years. What's more, Lu Xiaolan has also made it clear that she doesn't want to talk about getting married in the next few years.
Su Mo asked Lu Xiaolan not to tell anyone about her divorce. Although it was a military family compound, the quality of the families was uneven, and Lu Xiaolan could not be told about it, so that others would point fingers at her.
As for the fact that Lu Xiaolan was still unmarried at this age, no one suspected anything.
There were many people who let their sisters come to follow the army and find a military officer to marry in the family compound. Everyone also thought that Lu Xiaolan came here for this purpose.
As for her age, it was probably because she was too picky in the countryside and was delayed.
"Okay, you go back and ask her first. If she is willing, I will help them make connections." Director Song said.
"Let me tell you about the man first. The young man is 24 years old, at the level of a company commander. He lives in Hunan Province. He looks very handsome and is a very honest young man. I think he is a good person." Director Song said.
"Okay, I'll go back and ask. Thank you for your hard work, Director Song."
After Su Mo went back, she told Lu Xiaolan about the matter.
Lu Xiaolan frowned, "Third sister-in-law, I don't plan to get married again."
"Okay, if you don't want to, I'll help you turn it down." Su Mo said.
"But, Xiaolan, don't be afraid of the well rope for ten years after being bitten by a snake once. It's just a failed marriage. It's not your fault. If there is a suitable candidate or someone who makes you excited, you can still try again."
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you really don't want to. We will always be your backing. I just hope you can live happily."
Lu Xiaolan nodded, "I know, thank you, third sister-in-law."
She is living a happy life now, living with her third brother and his wife. Her brother and sister-in-law are kind, her nephews and nieces are smart and cute, her work is going well, and she doesn't have any troubles. Life is so beautiful.
She didn't want to get married again and cause herself more trouble.
The next day, when Su Mo was at work, she went to the management office to find Director Song and rejected the matter.
Although Director Song didn't show it on his face, he was also grumbling in his heart, thinking that Lu Xiaolan had high standards and looked down on the level of company commander. If she continued to be so picky, she might really become an old maid.
It just so happened that when Su Mo got home from work that day, she got a letter from the Lu family in the communication room. In the letter, Li Yue'e asked Su Mo to keep an eye out for any suitable candidates and look for Lu Xiaolan.
Lu Xiaolan has been divorced for more than a year. The old lady is always worried about her children. As long as one of them is not married, they always feel that their mission is not completed.
After seeing
this, Lu Xiaolan was also in tears and laughed, and said to Su Mo: "Third sister-in-law, don't bother with mother, I will write a letter to explain it to her." Su Mo didn't care much about this matter at first, but one day when she went to the cafeteria to get food, she heard someone gossiping about her family. It was said that after her family hooked up with Commander Xu, they were very picky and didn't even look down on the company commander. They kept their sister-in-law and didn't know what kind of official they wanted to marry.
Su Mo immediately stepped forward and grabbed the person.
As soon as this rumor appeared, it had to be stopped immediately, otherwise it would be passed around and who knows what would happen in the end. What's more, the other party also brought Commander Xu along, which was really sinister.
"Sisters-in-law, where did you hear this gossip?"
"Who told you that my family doesn't like the company commander anymore? We want to keep my sister-in-law to marry a high-ranking official?"
Those few people didn't expect to be so unlucky. They were caught spreading gossip behind people's backs and felt a little embarrassed for a while.
"We also heard it from someone."
"The introduction has to be suitable for both parties. My husband's hometown is in Heijiang Province, and the company commander's family is in Hunan Province. My sister-in-law thinks it's too far away and wants to find someone in the north, so she didn't agree." When Su Mo talked to Director Song, she also used this reason to refuse.
"Otherwise, if you marry to Hunan Province, it's so far away. How many times can you go back to your parents' home in your lifetime? You are also people who have been here before. How many times can you go back home after you come to follow the army?"
"If you marry far away, when you get leave, will you go back to your parents' home or your husband's home? Or do you think that a woman should not visit her parents' home after she gets married?"
"My sister-in-law is filial and doesn't want to marry far away because she can't bear to leave her parents."
"I don't know which black-hearted person made up such nonsense to discredit our family. I have to go to Director Song to see who is so talkative."
Su Mo just said it all at once and went to the management office.
Those people were a little panicked and followed all the way to stop them.
"Comrade Su Mo, we also heard it from others. We didn't know that it was one in the south and one in the north."
"Yes, we were wrong. We shouldn't have spread rumors without finding out clearly."
"We are all from the same family compound. There is no need to make a fuss at the management office..."
Su Mo ignored her and quickly went to the management office to tell Director Song about the matter.
"Comrade Su Mo, I didn't tell anyone anything." Director Song was furious. He estimated that it was the man's sister-in-law who spread the news.
"Of course I believe in you, Director Song." Su Mo said, "If this matter only involved my family, I wouldn't have made a fuss about you. These people spread rumors, but every word they said was about Commander Xu."
Director Song's face sank when he heard it. She was kind enough to help her pull the strings, but she actually hurt her like this.
"Comrade Su Mo, don't worry, I will investigate it thoroughly."
