Lin Jiaojiao agreed with a smile.
"Director Liu, please don't be so modest. What you said is something that not only other women but even men may not be able to achieve in their entire lives. Anyway, in my heart, you are the most powerful and outstanding woman!"
"You girl!"
Director Liu couldn't stop smiling, and his eyes became more intimate when he looked at Lin Jiaojiao.
"By the way, we've been working on the educated youth going to the countryside thing these past few days. Every household is anxiously deciding on a name, but yours is still dragging its feet. What are your family members saying?"
"Mom and Dad haven't mentioned this yet! But I heard that sending educated youth to the countryside is a national policy. I admire you very much and am willing to obey the country's instructions and arrangements like you, and contribute to the country and my family."
“That’s great!”
"It's just..." Lin Jiaojiao sighed awkwardly, "Director Liu, to be honest, I'm worried about this. My family arranged a marriage for me some time ago, and the man is a naval commander."
"Captain!"
Director Liu's eyes lit up instantly.
The regimental commander in the army, or the navy.
He is a serious public official!
I didn’t expect that this little girl could marry such a person?
Director Liu's attitude instantly became friendly.
"That's great, girl. You have a bright future. But don't forget us when you get married."
"Of course not! You are the person I admire most. I will never forget you, and I will never forget our Yuan County."
Director Liu was even happier to see Lin Jiaojiao being so understanding.
"Since you're going to marry the head of the group, you naturally can't go to the countryside!"
"But my fiancé went on a mission two days ago, so we can't get married yet, so..."
"That won't do. Soldiers are out there defending their country. If you, as a soldier's family member, were to be sent to the countryside, it would be negligence on the part of us staff. Besides, you're right. This is an opportunity to train people, and boys need experience even more!"
Lin Jiaojiao nodded in admiration.
"You are indeed Director Liu. What you said really enlightened me. My father often says that my younger brother is not young anymore and should be allowed to experience hardships and learn new things so that he can stand tall and become a useful person in the future!"
“Very aware!”
"It's just that you know the situation in our family. Even though my father said that, I'm not my mother after all..."
Director Liu patted Lin Jiaojiao's shoulder in sudden realization.
"It's okay. I already know your family's situation. If that's the case, I will fight for you."
"Really!"
Lin Jiaojiao excitedly handed over the thing in her hand.
"You are truly a role model for women. I knew it. I am so happy to hear you say that."
After pretending to refuse, Director Liu took the things naturally with a smile on his face.
"Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will go wrong."
Lin Jiaojiao looked at the receding figure and forced a smile.
Jinbao, I'm doing this for your own good!
Return to the tube-shaped building compound.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Lin Jinbao and Tang Lianlian by accident.
Lin Jiaojiao instantly became alert.
For fear of being discovered by them, Lin Jiaojiao didn't dare to get too close.
At this moment, Tang Lianlian looked haggard, completely losing her previous arrogant attitude.
It seems that in order to completely solve the hidden danger, Lin Jinbao must be sent to the countryside!
Thinking of this, Lin Jiaojiao walked quickly towards home.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Lin's father drinking a little wine.
"Dad, where's Mom?"
"She went to your Aunt Qin's house next door!"
"Come with me quickly, I discovered something important!"
Seeing Lin Jiaojiao so serious, Lin's father couldn't help but follow her out out of curiosity. He saw Lin Jiaojiao standing on the balcony, pointing in a certain direction of the yard below.
"Look!"
"Jinbao!"
Father Lin was also a little shocked, especially when he saw there was a girl next to him.
"What are they doing?"
"This girl's name is Tang Lianlian, and she goes to the same school as Jinbao."
“That’s a good thing!”
"I thought it was a good thing at first, but when I went to school last time, I found out..."
When Father Lin saw that Lin Jiaojiao was hesitant to speak, he suddenly had a bad premonition and became serious in an instant.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was set just right, Lin Jiaojiao leaned over and whispered about Tang Lianlian's entanglement with Zhao Sixi, the fact that they had a child, and how she did not reject Jinbao's pursuit, adding fuel to the fire.
Father Lin's face darkened visibly.
Coincidentally, Lin Jinbao also came upstairs after talking with Tang Lianlian.
Seeing Lin Jiaojiao and Lin's father standing in the corridor, a trace of guilt flashed across his face.
"Dad, sister, why are you here? Where's my mom?"
“…”
Father Lin didn't say anything, just glared at him coldly and turned to go home.
Lin Jiaojiao has some understanding of Lin's father.
He was not furious at Lin Jinbao at the moment, he just didn't want to embarrass himself.
"Sister, what happened to Dad?"
"Just had a chat with my neighbor. How was the game?"
Lin Jinbao breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could reply, he was interrupted by the visitor.
"Comrade Lin Jiaojiao!"
When Lin Jiaojiao saw that the person coming was Director Liu, her eyes lit up and she immediately ran up to greet him.
"Director Liu, you're here! Come to my house and have a seat!"
"I'm here to look for your parents. Are they home?"
"Yes! Come on, come in!"
As soon as Mr. Lin saw Director Liu, he straightened his clothes and stood up to greet him.
Only Lin Jinbao standing aside showed no interest.
He usually doesn't care much about family matters, and when he sees that he has nothing to do at home, he prepares to leave.
But he was caught red-handed by Lin's father.
"Why don't you go with your sister and make a pot of tea!"
"knew!"
Lin Jinbao was still very afraid of his father. After being scolded for no reason, he quickly followed Lin Jiaojiao to make tea.
When the two came back, they happened to hear Director Liu talking about the educated youth going to the countryside.
Lin Jinbao was a little nervous!
I heard Li Qiufen talk about this a few days ago.
Now everyone in the school is discussing it, and many people have confirmed that they will be forced to go to the countryside.
I heard that I would be assigned to the most difficult environment across the country, where I wouldn't be able to eat or sleep well, and I would have to work in the fields every day.
He doesn't want to go there!
But from what my parents said, they probably want my sister to go.
Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at Lin Jiaojiao.
Lin Jiaojiao looked calm. Seeing her father's troubled expression when Director Liu asked her about it, she took the initiative to speak: "Although the country's sending educated youth to the countryside is a test for us young people, hoping that we can temper ourselves through hardships and hard work, Jinbao has never experienced hardship since he was a child. I really feel sorry for him."
"Dad, otherwise just let me go!"
When these words were spoken, both Lin's father and Lin Jinbao were shocked.
Lin Jiaojiao didn't wait for their reaction and sighed helplessly.
"I just don't know how to tell Huai'an this. Before he left, he quietly told me that this mission would only last a week or two, and he would come back to hold the wedding after it was over. I didn't think too much about it at the time and just agreed."
