Chapter 80 Sister-in-law came in second, but was not selected
"I……"
Just as Huang Yiyi was about to answer Li Weiguo's question, she really fell into Li Po's trap.
Jiang Tang interrupted immediately, raised his chin, and asked Li Weiguo, "Lieutenant Li, you know how much Commander He values Comrade Song Yuanyang, right?"
"Of course I know. I went to the train station to pick up Comrade Song, and I was transferred there to be responsible for security work." Li Weiguo looked at Jiang Tang and answered according to Jiang Tang's words.
Jiang Tang asked again, "Since Comrade Song Yuanyang is so important, then is the person who serves as his assistant important?"
"It's important, definitely equally important." Li Weiguo said.
"Captain Li, you're obviously a smart guy who knows everything, but why do you get confused when it comes to your mother? This competitive exam is to select an assistant for Comrade Song Yuanyang. Do you think you can just be late for such a serious occasion? Do you know what this exam means to Huang Yiyi and your family?"
"I..." Li Weiguo hesitated.
Mrs. Li wouldn't give Jiang Tang a chance to distract Li Weiguo from his thoughts, so she interrupted immediately, "Haha, is she still going to pass the exam?"
Like those people in the examination room who wore tinted glasses, Mrs. Li felt that Huang Yiyi had been out of school for several years and had almost forgotten all the knowledge in her head.
Jiang Tang sneered at them and then announced loudly.
"Listen carefully, she—Huang Yiyi—placed first in this competitive exam. Now she's not only your wife, Li Weiguo, and the military wife of our compound, but also Comrade Song Yuanyang's assistant! Even Commander He approved of this."
Mrs. Li and Li Weiguo both widened their eyes in disbelief. They also didn't believe the person who was rubbing his ears, nor did the sisters-in-law around them.
"What?! First place! Huang Yiyi, you really are first place!"
"I told you Huang Yiyi can do it! Let those people from the art troupe never look down on us again."
"That's right, what college students from Jingcheng University are you? They're not as good as Huang Yiyi from our compound. Yiyi, you did a great job!"
"According to what Sister Jiang and Captain Li just said, Comrade Song is so important. Doesn't Yiyi become equally important as his assistant? Doesn't she even get a salary?"
"There must be a salary! I think it's at least thirty... maybe as much as fifty! Following Comrade Song, I can also show my face in front of Chief He."
"Captain Li, how did such a good thing happen to your family? Are you so lucky?"
Everyone was happy for Huang Yiyi. Li Weiguo was in shock and couldn't recover. Only Mrs. Li had a pale face that looked like it was all over...
"It's over... Why did she have to pass the exam... Wouldn't that mean I'm going to lose my eldest grandson..." Mrs. Li lamented.
Jiang Tang looked at Li Weiguo and warned him, "Captain Li, think carefully. Is it a good thing or a bad thing for you that your lover has become Comrade Song's assistant? If you tell everyone in the army about this, how many people will envy you? If Huang Yiyi was stuck at home today and was late for the exam, do you think she could still get first place and become Comrade Song's assistant? Do you really want to help the evil?"
After hearing Jiang Tang's words, Li Weiguo's expression changed subtly.
Because Mrs. Li was there, Li Weiguo couldn't say any harsh words, but his heart was undoubtedly with Huang Yiyi.
"Captain Li, just be happy. Huang Yiyi is with Comrade Song. Maybe she can even participate in confidential missions in the future."
"That's right. Maybe soon I'll be able to apply to join the research team."
"If Huang Yiyi gets a formal civil service position, she'll not only have a salary, but also various allowances. It's possible her allowances will be even greater than yours, Captain Li. Captain Li, you've married a treasure."
Amidst the envious voices of his sisters-in-law, a smile slowly appeared on Li Weiguo's face. "No, no, it's Yiyi herself who's amazing."
He turned around and said to Mrs. Li.
"Mom, don't interfere in Yiyi's affairs from now on. Let her do whatever she wants. Don't let her do housework. She has to report to the army every day and won't have time to do so many housework."
"You...you..." Mrs. Li had never seen Li Weiguo speak to her before, so she angrily squeezed out a sentence, "You really don't want me anymore because you have a wife! Humph!"
Jiang Tang left amid the discussions, keeping his achievements and fame hidden.
Hurry back to see her lovely pups.
That afternoon, the results of the competitive examination spread throughout the army. Many soldiers knew that a military wife from a large compound had defeated a college student from Beijing University, was proficient in three languages, and won first place.
Those who were more informed had already gathered around Li Weiguo to congratulate him.
"Captain Li, I didn't expect your wife to be so capable. If you get promoted in the future, don't forget your brothers."
On the other side, Liang Kailai told Fu Sinian the news he had heard.
"Captain Fu, my sister-in-law only ranked second in the exam and was not selected."
When Liang Kailai said this, he carefully observed Fu Sinian's expression, trying to tell from that cold face whether Fu Sinian was happy or unhappy about the news.
However, Fu Sinian just said "hmm" and remained expressionless.
Liang Kailai was confused. Fu Sinian was obviously so concerned about Jiang Tang's affairs. Today was clearly a field training day, but he still asked him to keep an eye on the news of the end of the exam and tell him the results as soon as they were out.
Why is the reaction so cold after hearing it now?
What? You don’t care about this?
Liang Kailai really couldn't guess what a married man was thinking.
After a long silence, Fu Sinian suddenly looked up and asked, "Where can I buy candied haws near our barracks?"
Liang Kailai's pupils shrank slightly. He was shocked, but he instinctively answered, "...There should be one at the entrance of Red Star Primary School."
Fu Sinian wrote it down and kept it in his heart.
That night, when Fu Sinian returned home, he was holding a red candied haws in his hand.
As soon as he pushed open the door, he heard footsteps coming from inside. Chaochao and Yueyue came in front of him like firecrackers and shouted excitedly.
"Dad, you're back!"
"Dad, you come back—sugar!"
Yueyue is indeed a foodie. Her big eyes immediately caught sight of the candied haws in Fu Sinian's hand, and she immediately licked her lips.
The candied haws are bright red and covered with a layer of syrup, making them sparkling.
Fu Sinian leaned over and handed them to the two kids, "Here, one skewer each. Dinner's almost time, so just take a few bites. Don't eat it all, or you won't be able to finish dinner. Remember that?"
“Remember!”
Chaochao and Yueyue held the candied haws and showed similar happy smiles.
After Fu Sinian divided the two strings, he still had one string in his hand and walked into the house.
