When they returned to the house to rest after lunch, Lu Lin mentioned to Jiang Manyue that he wanted Lu Junan to go with him to the military district to study.
Jiang Manyue listened with a frown. It was undeniable that if Lu Junan could go to the military district's affiliated primary school, it would definitely be better than going to school in the commune.
Primary schools nowadays do not teach anything difficult, but the college entrance examination will be resumed in three years, and the primary school curriculum will soon have to be changed. The teaching staff of the commune primary schools cannot keep up with those of the primary schools in big cities or the primary schools affiliated with military regions.
Although Lu Lin's original intention was to let Lu Jun'an go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, it is very necessary to go to a good school whether he goes to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University or takes the college entrance examination in the future.
"You said you wanted Jun'an to go to the primary school affiliated with the military region. I support that. No matter which path he takes in the future, whether it's the college entrance examination or something else, he'll always start a little ahead of others."
But then Jiang Manyue fell silent again, because Lu Junan was going to the military area, and someone would have to take care of him. The person could be either the old couple or her.
But the possibility of her being the candidate is still relatively small. Lu Lin would probably prefer the old couple to go to the army to take care of the children.
"Otherwise, you should discuss it with your parents. This is no small matter. Your parents have never left the production team in their lives. They don't know if they are used to going to such a far place all of a sudden."
Jiang Manyue sighed imperceptibly in her heart. She was still thinking about whether to give it a try last night, but today she found out that the whole family was going to the army.
If her biological mother knew about this, she would probably tear the roof off the Lu family's house.
Jiang Manyue planned to keep the matter a secret and wait until all the Lu family members left before telling her mother. Since everyone was gone anyway, her mother wouldn't be able to make a fuss.
She might be unlucky for a while. Her mother has such a bad temper that if she gets really angry, even she, her own daughter, can't escape her punishment.
Lu Lin nodded and said, "I'll discuss it with my parents this afternoon. But for Jun'an's future, they won't disagree."
Jiang Manyue forced a smile, said "hmm", turned over, turned her back to Lu Lin and closed her eyes.
Lu Lin thought that she didn't get enough rest last night, and was busy going to the county town to buy things and cook in the morning. She must be tired, so she stopped talking.
Jiang Manyue, with her back to him, closed her eyes, but couldn't fall asleep at all. She always felt a sense of loss in her heart.
Although I know that this is not a loss at all, I still feel a little empty inside.
She thought with some self-mockery that she had thought so much last night, and there was still a fight between villains in her mind. It turned out that she was being too sentimental. Fortunately, she did not take action, otherwise it would be so embarrassing.
Jiang Manyue hadn't fallen asleep yet. Lu Lin could tell just by listening to her breathing frequency, but he still didn't disturb her. He just silently lowered his presence, hoping that Jiang Manyue wouldn't be disturbed by him in her sleep.
When the voices of Li Guifen and Lu Qingyou were heard in the courtyard, Jiang Manyue looked at the time and saw that it was almost time, so she sat up.
Lu Lin got off the bed and smiled at her, "I'm going to talk to my parents. You can rest for a while."
After saying that, Lu Lin went out. Jiang Manyue sat on the bed, holding her chin, and began to daze.
"Dad, Mom, I want to discuss something with you."
Li Guifen was sweeping the floor and Lu Qingyou was chopping wood. When they heard Lu Lin say that he wanted to discuss something, they both stopped what they were doing.
"Ah Lin, tell me, what do you want to discuss?"
Li Guifen put down the broom, clapped her hands, and looked at Lu Lin seriously.
"Mom, I want Jun'an to go to school with me in the army. The schools there are good, and Jun'an will have a better chance of getting into the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University in the future."
After hearing this, Li Guifen and Lu Qingyou looked at each other and their expressions became serious.
As it concerns their grandson's future, they are both very concerned about Lu Lin's proposal, but Lu Jun'an is too young after all, and they are not at all reassured about letting him follow Lu Lin to the army.
Li Guifen was very worried. "Jun'an is so young, can he go to the army with you?"
Lu Qingyou also looked worried. "Didn't you live in a dormitory in the army? Where did Jun'an live? Where did he eat?"
Lu Lin then realized that his parents thought Jun'an went with him alone, and he quickly explained, "Of course it's impossible for Jun'an to go with me alone. Our whole family must go, otherwise how can I take care of such a young child?"
The old couple looked at each other again, and then Li Guifen shook her head. "Your father and I don't want to go. The army has no place to grow vegetables or food. If we all go there, we'll only be relying on your allowance. We don't feel safe."
Lu Lin hesitated for a moment, "If you don't want to go, then..."
Li Guifen took over the conversation without hesitation, "Man Yue can go alone, your father and I will stay at home. We have land to grow vegetables and raise chickens at home, and the work points your father and I earn are enough for us to eat. We are very comfortable."
Lu Qingyou agreed with his wife's idea, but he was still a little sad because Jiang Manyue had gone to join the army, and he would not be able to enjoy the feast in the future.
Lu Lin turned his head to look towards the door, and thinking about how Jiang Manyue had not objected to the whole family joining the army, he nodded to Li Guifen.
"Okay, I'll write an application letter right away and go to the county town to mail it to my boss tomorrow. If everything goes well, I might be able to bring Man Yue and Jun An back with me when I return to the army this time."
Li Guifen was so happy when she thought that Jiang Manyue and Lu Lin had returned to the army and were spending time together every day. She thought that maybe Jiang Manyue and Lu Lin would bring back good news next time they returned home. She quickly urged Lu Lin to write a letter to the leader.
Lu Lin agreed and then went back to his room to prepare to write the application letter.
Jiang Manyue was still sitting on the bed in a daze, and only came back to her senses when she heard Lu Lin opening the door.
"Man Yue, where did you put the letter paper? I need to write a letter to my leader requesting to accompany the army."
When Jiang Manyue heard him say that he wanted to write an application letter, she knew that the old couple must have agreed.
"Wait a minute, I'll get it for you."
Jiang Manyue went to the cabinet and took out the letter paper and pen ink and handed them to Lu Lin. She also took out the Russian book and said, "You write first. I won't disturb you."
Lu Lin nodded, sat down at the table and prepared to start writing the letter.
Jiang Manyue walked out of the room with a book in her hand and sat silently under the eaves, but her mind was in turmoil and she couldn't continue reading.
She was reciting words randomly, but she didn't remember what she had recited at all. She just wanted to find something to do.
Seeing that she was reading seriously, Li Guifen didn't talk to her. As for the matter of joining the army, Li Guifen didn't say much. After all, the application letter had not been sent out yet.
If she talks about this to Man Yue every day and the application is not approved, wouldn’t Man Yue be disappointed?
