Everyone came to Yang Niannian's room together. The room was not big to begin with, and there were already several people standing in it. Now with a few more people coming, it seemed very crowded.
When several military wives in the room saw that Lin Manzhi had also arrived, they stood aside to make room for her.
Lin Manzhi no longer disliked Yang Niannian as she had before, and her attitude became quite good. At least she said a few compliments on the surface.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Lin Manzhi had a good attitude, and Yang Niannian also followed her example and said a few polite words.
After everyone chatted for a while, Lin Manzhi changed the topic to having children.
"You and Teacher Lu have been married for several years, right? Now that you have graduated, don't you plan to have a child?"
As soon as this was said, other military wives began to echo it.
"Yes! Aren't you planning to have a baby yet? Isn't Master Lu in a hurry?"
"If you ask me, it's better to have children early so that you can recover faster. I was 21 when I gave birth to my first child. I was able to get out of bed right after giving birth, and I could cook for myself on the third day. I was almost 30 when I gave birth to my fourth child. I had to stay in bed for several days before I could get out of bed. After giving birth, I was left with a lot of problems."
Yang Niannian replied indifferently, "I have been preparing for pregnancy since graduation, but I am not pregnant yet."
Seeing that everyone was talking about having children, Tao Hua was afraid that Yang Niannian would be too anxious, so she spoke up.
"You've only graduated for a few months, there's no rush to have a baby."
Xu Yinglian spoke quickly.
"She has been trying to get pregnant for several months and she still hasn't gotten pregnant. How can she not be anxious? Maybe her in-laws are urging her to do so."
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward and no one knew how to respond. However, Lin Manzhi looked very relaxed, with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.
She changed the subject and asked, "Which unit do you work in?"
Lu Shishen is very tight-lipped and usually never reveals anything about his private life in the army. So far, no one knows where Yang Niannian works.
Yang Niannian replied softly, "I didn't ask for a job assignment. I found a small enterprise and worked in finance."
Hearing this, Lin Manzhi couldn't help laughing. This time she laughed from the bottom of her heart. It was true that people who came from a small country town had a narrow vision.
After finally getting into Kyoto University, he didn't want the job assigned to him after graduation and instead went to work as a financial officer in a small company?
If this were to get out, people would probably laugh their heads off.
Some other military wives were also extremely surprised, even Tao Hua and Song Fen were filled with astonishment.
Tao Hua couldn't help asking, "Niannian, are you just going to give up your stable job like that? What a pity!"
The job assigned by the university was something that others were trying their best to get, but she just wanted to give it up?
Song Fen also felt it was a pity, but she had no say here, so she didn't dare to speak out.
Xu Yinglian covered her mouth and laughed, gloating.
"Does Commander Lu know about this?"
Yang Niannian noticed everyone's expressions, but didn't care.
"Yes, he respects my decision."
Lin Manzhi's eyes were full of sarcasm. As expected, he was born into a reckless family. Neither the couple had any brains. She was in a very good mood at the moment, and all the depression from the past few days was swept away.
"Okay, everyone, stop crowding here and let Nian Nian rest for a while. Let's go back and rehearse. We have to perform on stage after dinner."
Upon hearing this, the military wives said goodbye to Yang Niannian and followed Lin Manzhi out.
Tao Hua and Song Fen walked to the end in tacit understanding. Seeing that the other military wives had left, Tao Hua couldn't help but ask.
"Big sister, you really don't have a job to be assigned, and you want to work as a financial officer in a small factory?"
Song Fen also looked at Yang Niannian curiously. She was not well educated and came from a small place. She was not as knowledgeable as other military wives, but she knew that the jobs assigned by the school were all stable jobs. Many people tried their best to get them, but could not get them.
Yang Niannian admitted openly, "Mrs. Yan, it's true. I didn't ask for the assigned job."
After a pause, he continued with deep understanding, "Shi Shen is quite busy in the army. If I want a job there again, I won't be able to take care of my family. Being together less and apart more is not good for the relationship between husband and wife. After careful consideration, I decided to find a job that is more comfortable."
When Tao Hua heard what Yang Niannian said, she immediately understood her, but she still couldn't help feeling sorry.
Said regretfully.
"Big sister, you have sacrificed too much for the stability of your family."
Yang Niannian almost couldn't hold back her laughter, her eyes curved.
"I haven't sacrificed anything. Even if I don't want the job assigned by the government, it's easy for me to find a good job with my education. I'm working in finance now, and it's just a transitional period. After all, I'm trying to get pregnant. If I get pregnant, I won't be able to go to work, right?"
Tao Hua thought about it and felt that this made sense. If Yang Niannian also went to work in an important unit, the couple would only see each other a few times a year. How could they have children then?
Just say it with a smile.
"Yes, yes, having a baby is the most important thing now."
She didn't delay Yang Niannian's rest and left the house with Song Fen.
On the other side, Xu Yinglian followed Lin Manzhi to the toilet first. Seeing that there was no one around, she muttered softly.
"Master Lu's wife has been married for several years, but she still hasn't gotten pregnant. Is there something wrong with her body? Look at her, she's as thin as a sesame stick. Maybe there really is something wrong with her."
Who doesn’t have a baby as soon as they get married?
She had never seen anyone not having children after a few years of marriage, unless they were infertile.
Lin Manzhi didn't care about this. She found it funny that Yang Niannian gave up such a good job to work as an accountant in a small company.
At this moment, he pretended to be very noble.
"Whether to have a child or not is other people's business. Why do you worry so much about it?"
Xu Yinglian curled her lips and said, "I'm not worried. I'm just wondering if she didn't take the job assigned by the government because she needed medical treatment."
Her husband is a teacher now. Yang Niannian would definitely be anxious if she didn't have a child. Maybe she quit her job just for this reason.
Lin Manzhi didn't say anything. She would never say anything that would cause gossip. Yang Niannian was the commander's wife now, so she should be careful with her words.
As for Yang Niannian, she had just sent everyone away with great difficulty. Before she even touched the bed, she heard a knock on the door. She thought it was Tao Hua knocking again.
When she opened the door, she saw Lu Shishen standing at the door. She was stunned for a moment, then she crossed her arms, stared at Lu Shishen leisurely and asked.
"Hey! How come Commander Lu has time to come back? Shouldn't he be very busy today?"
When Lu Shishen heard the word "commander", he realized that Yang Niannian already knew about his promotion.
He walked into the room, closed the door, and explained.
"Things haven't been finalized yet, so there might be some unexpected changes. I wanted to wait until everything is finalized before doing anything. I've been quite busy recently, so I put it off."
