"Hehe, it's grown a little longer. Sis, how have you been lately? Is my brother Sun treating you well?"
"I'm doing great. You two are graduating this summer, do you have any ideas?" If you have any ideas, she'll try to find a way to help you. She can't let her two younger brothers go to the countryside.
"We both want to join the army, and our parents have agreed. We're just waiting for the conscription period to have the physical examinations," their family's political background check is definitely not a problem.
"Everyone's going?" Being a soldier now is much more dangerous than in later generations. I thought my parents would leave one of them behind.
"Yes, we'll both go. We both like being soldiers."
Qian Xiao wouldn't object. Everyone has their own ideals, and no one has interfered with hers. Naturally, she wouldn't be the kind of annoying person who cuts off other people's ideals.
"Then train hard. Only with a good physique and strong skills can you ensure your safety. Remember, nothing is more important than your own life."
"We know, sister." The two of them lived in the military compound and had seen the fallen soldiers and their families before. They would definitely take good care of themselves. They couldn't let their families be saddened by their own ideals.
Five Eggs and Six Eggs looked at their two older brothers with bright eyes. Although they hadn't had many opportunities to meet over the years, the brothers had been close since childhood, and they had kept in touch with each other through letters ever since they learned to read.
"Second brother, third brother, are you really all going to join the army?"
"Yeah, how's Wudan and Liudan's studying?"
Wu Dan shook his head: "The school doesn't teach anything anymore. It's all my older sister teaching us. I don't even know if I'll be able to go to high school next year."
Most high schools have suspended classes, and even the high schools in the commune are unlikely to be able to hold classes next year.
"So what have you thought about for the future?" They'll be seventeen by the New Year, and Wudan and Liudan will be fifteen. They can't just come back to farm, can they?
Five Eggs and Six Eggs shook their heads, somewhat bewildered: "We don't know yet."
San Dan and Si Dan habitually looked at their eldest sister. Qian Xiao had already thought of this: "They are still young, so let's not rush to talk about anything else. If they can't go to high school, let them come back home to study on their own. When they are old enough, we will find them a job."
If all else fails, it's not impossible to take over Uncle's job. He can learn to drive first, and once he has the skills, everything else will be easier. Besides, the high school closure doesn't seem to be for very long. As long as classes resume, it would be better for the two of them to go straight to high school.
Five Eggs and Six Eggs looked at their eldest sister with gratitude. They hadn't expected that their eldest sister had thought of everything for them. All they had to do was do as she said.
Seven Eggs and Eight Eggs looked up at their older brothers and sisters. They were still young, and these things had nothing to do with them now.
Qian Xiao looked at her six younger brothers, who were talking enthusiastically. It was true, the six brothers almost had the same face. How could they look so alike? They weren't born to the same parents. The genes of the Qian family were indeed strong enough.
"Big sister, how's Brother Gouzi?"
Speaking of Gouzi, she almost went to the countryside back then. This guy grew up in the countryside but his actual household registration was in the county town. He couldn't find a job and didn't think of coming to find her. He just kept his head down and looked for a job. At that time, jobs were hard to find, otherwise there would have been so many people going to the countryside.
My uncle is an ordinary worker, and my aunt has always been a temporary worker with no connections. She was only able to get in through connections when their factory was hiring temporary workers. If it weren't for the fact that we happened to run into my aunt that day, Gouzi would have missed this opportunity.
"I'm a temporary worker in our factory. The work isn't easy, but if I work hard, I'll eventually become a permanent employee."
This guy was planning to join the army, but his aunt objected, saying she would hang herself if he did. So his dream seemed to be shattered. But seeing how happy he is now, I guess he was just saying it casually.
As for how much she loved it, she couldn't see it at all. Just look at her two younger brothers when they talked about joining the army; their eyes were like searchlights, there was no comparison.
Speaking of dogs, Liu Dan suddenly remembered that he had something to tell his older sister: "Big sister, it seems that Sister Erhua is getting married."
"What? I just started arranging blind dates when I came back last time, how come you're getting married so soon? Who are you getting married to?" She hadn't even had a chance to talk to Erhua since she came back this time.
"The man who came to see Grandpa Zhang."
Qian Xiao's lips twitched. Several people have come to see Old Man Zhang. I don't know which one you're talking about!
Wu Dan was anxious for his younger brother, saying, "It's that guy who always brings a kid along."
Qian Xiao then realized, "No, that child is that person's son, right? That person's son seems to be older than me. What was Erhua thinking?" Did she find herself a father figure?
"Oh dear, is that the kid who's getting married?"
Why is she breathing so heavily? But thinking about what that child looked like, she had only seen him once before she went to university, and he must be an adult by now.
"I saw him when I was a child, but I can't remember what he looked like. What does he look like now?"
"I heard he's a junior clerk in the commune. He's tall and thin, not bad looking, but not as good-looking as my future brother-in-law."
What kind of analogy is that? How many people can compare to someone like Sun Kaicheng?
"That's good. I'll go take a look tomorrow." Time really flies. My childhood friend, with whom I used to play mischievous games and fight, is getting married.
The next day, the three childhood friends sat together, and Sun Kaicheng was also given as a bonus.
Looking at Gouzi Qianxiao with curiosity, he asked, "Why are you back? Did you also take a holiday during the Spring Festival?"
The dog is still as silly as when it was a puppy: "Our boss said that there isn't much work during the Spring Festival, so he's letting us take two days off separately. I'll be going back to work the day after tomorrow."
"How's it going?" Gouzi's work was in the workshop, so she couldn't go over to check on him, lest others find out that Gouzi got in through connections, which would make it difficult to manage relationships with colleagues in the future.
"It's great. My master is willing to teach us. Everyone envies me for having a good master. The others who came in at the same time said that their master didn't teach them anything and just made them do odd jobs." The dog's eyes lit up when he talked about this.
He didn't know how to express his gratitude to Erdan. If it weren't for Erdan, he would probably still be farming in some village.
"Then study hard and try to get a permanent position as soon as possible so that your uncle and aunt can worry less about you. In the future, if anything happens, just let them know and don't keep it to yourself. What would you do if I hadn't run into your aunt?"
"What? You're all grown up now and you're being so polite with me? Why weren't you polite when you snatched food from my hand when we were little?" Of course, the one who ended up getting beaten up was Gouzi, because being a girl is always more appealing.
"Hehe, I know it's hard to find a job, so I thought I wouldn't make you worry. I'll definitely let you know if I need anything in the future."
