"Oh my! What wonderful children! I really want to meet your parents. How did they raise such wonderful children? They don't practice the feudal system of favoring boys over girls. They are truly role models for the new generation of young people!"
"Aunt Xiuqin, if you keep praising us, my brother and I will want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. It's not as good as you say. But Jinbao is a good kid and can endure hardships. I just wanted him to stop and drink some water, but he refused. He insisted on finishing the work on this piece of land before he would rest."
"Yes, this little bit of work won't tire me out. Besides, the educated youth are arriving one after another, and I have to report in a couple of days. I won't have time to help my sister and brother-in-law."
Lin Jinbao received praise from Zhang Xiuqin and believed even more in what Lin Jiaojiao had just said.
Under the scorching sun, he plunged into the ground.
As long as he thought about the fact that the wife of the big boss was satisfied with his attitude and would most likely say good things about him in front of those big bosses, he became very motivated!
Seeing that she had almost finished fooling him, Lin Jiaojiao asked about something else: "Aunt Xiuqin, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"
"It's my wife! Last time, Xiao Jiang told me that you're really good at cooking seafood, so she urged me to learn from you. I just bought some seafood!"
"It's nothing. Aunt Xiuqin is still the same as before. I'll write down the steps and you just need to follow them!"
"Thank you for troubling me again. How about this? Since your brother is here too, why don't you come to our house for dinner tonight?"
"Aunt, you don't have to be so polite. Huai'an said that the team is busy with the Army Day recently. He has a lot of tasks on hand and doesn't want to disturb me and the children's rest. He may stay in the dormitory tonight and get together another day when he is free!"
"That's good! Indeed, every year on Party Founding Day and Army Founding Day, the troops are always bustling with activity. Not only are there performances, but I heard that sometimes high-ranking officials even come down to conduct inspections!"
"So that's how it is."
A hint of worry flashed in Lin Jiaojiao's eyes.
Ji Huaian's face has not been very good these days, especially when he left this morning, he looked more depressed than before.
Now he is so busy while being sick, I don’t know if he can handle it?
For lunch, Lin Jiaojiao made noodles with gravy.
After the three of them had a simple meal, Lin Jiaojiao changed the bedding in the storage room where Ji Huaian had slept before, and let Lin Jinbao live there temporarily for the next two days.
The sun is scorching outside, so it's not a good time to start work.
Lin Jinbao was indeed tired and began to snore as soon as he touched the pillow.
Lin Jiaojiao didn't call him, it wouldn't be too late to start work at four o'clock.
After coaxing Xiaofeng to sleep, she took out the two newspapers she had read before.
We selected a work that promotes the theme of Army Day.
My thoughts were racing and I quickly put pen to paper.
The room was very quiet, with the occasional sea breeze shaking the white curtains.
Extra warm.
…
In the Propaganda Department.
They had just finished lunch and the girls were sitting together gossiping and chatting.
There was suddenly a commotion in the corridor, and then someone was heard calling Wu Xuelan's name.
"Xue Lan is back!"
"I heard she won another award this time!"
“…”
Amidst everyone's excited discussion, Wu Xuelan walked in from outside.
Zhao Mei immediately stepped forward to greet her with a smile: "Welcome back, our little princess! I heard that your solo this time was a blast and you even won an award. Congratulations!"
"It's not as exaggerated as you say. It's just a normal performance."
"But that's true. With Xue Lan's abilities, winning is normal, and losing is a surprise. But it's also nice to take this opportunity to go out and relax. Unlike us, we have no choice but to stay on this island every day!"
“As long as everyone is willing to work hard, there are opportunities.”
Wu Xuelan spoke modestly, but in her heart she didn't think much of these people.
She was brought up by her family from a very young age and later joined the art troupe early on.
She has been to almost all the famous stages in China.
How could they be the same as the soldiers in an ordinary art troupe!
However, my father also said that the military and civilians are one family, and comrades-in-arms should be united and friendly.
She has been doing pretty well in this regard.
"By the way, there's something you don't know yet, right?"
Zhao Mei suddenly thought of something and spoke tentatively, her expression becoming complicated.
"What's up?"
"Ji Huaian got married a few days ago. I heard that many people in the team went to join in the fun!"
"What?" Wu Xuelan's mood plummeted, and her eyes became red. "When did this happen? Why didn't I receive any notice?"
"It was the day after you left, and I only found out about the news that day. The competition you were participating in was so important that you couldn't answer the phone. I really couldn't help it."
"..." Wu Xuelan clenched her fists tighter and tighter, tears falling uncontrollably, and she ran out of the dormitory past several people.
Zhao Mei hurriedly followed.
In the alley behind the dormitory building.
Wu Xuelan cried out in grievance: "Why did he get married like this? Why did he choose me to go to the competition? Zhao Mei, I feel sad. I can't accept it. I really can't accept it!"
"Okay, stop crying. Actually, you don't have to be too sad. Since Ji Huaian has let her live in his house, getting a marriage certificate is only a matter of time. But there is one thing you will definitely be happy to hear."
"Why should I be happy? They're already married!"
"Xue Lan, what's wrong with you? In my heart, you have always been the most fashionable girl I admire. What era is it now? The country advocates modern marriage and has a marriage law. We have the right to marry and even the right to divorce. Besides..."
