"Qiaoyue, you should organize more things like this!" Yu Qingce said, "There are many boys here who don't have much contact with girls all year round, so their marriage plans are easily put on hold. By the time they retire, they'll be too old to find a partner!"
"Let me tell you, there are a lot of girls in the city who still don't have boyfriends. I'm planning to put on a party for these girls sometime."
Yu Qingce is like a patriarch, arranging weddings for those around him, which is indeed not easy.
"Being a matchmaker is the hardest job. If a conflict arises later, everyone will come to you to mediate. It's really tiring! If the person isn't suitable, all you get in return is criticism," Li Xiaoxiao complained.
"We have to make arrangements!" Yu Qingce exclaimed. "Look at all these people here, they're all of a certain age, but they're not in a hurry. I'm worried! This plan for eugenics is ineffective. There are fewer children being born in the city and more in the countryside. How can we not make it happen? Qiaoyue, you have to help Aunt Yu. Look at this residential compound, so many of the women haven't had children yet. It's not lively at all!"
Shen Qiaoyue smiled and said, "I'm not very good at organizing this. It's just that Hongying is a girl I've worked with for many years. She's very capable and very good at it. Meng Xinguo's personality is very suitable for her."
Zhang Hongying had suffered a lot before, and having worked with this girl frequently, she felt that this girl was very warm-hearted and kind to people, and that such a girl deserved a good man.
Lu Chen said that Meng Xinguo from their regiment was a good person, had his own opinions, was a bit honest, but was definitely generous to others.
Thinking that the two of them could give it a try, and if it worked out, that would be great. After they got married, the family compound became even more lively.
Moreover, the residential compound has recently started building multi-story buildings, so the application for this house will definitely be approved in about six months.
“It’s good that the family compound is lively!” Yu Qingce joked. “It would be even better if there were more children. There are many military wives in this compound, but it’s still quite deserted at night.”
“The children who grew up in this family compound have all gone back to their hometowns to go to school, and some military families have also left with their husbands, so they have naturally calmed down.”
Shen Qiaoyue sighed, "This family compound isn't a place you can just settle down in. Those whose husbands have passed away will definitely have to move out of the compound, or their children will grow up and they'll really have to go back to their hometowns, or the elderly who need care will have to go back home."
“That’s true!” Yu Qingce agreed with Shen Qiaoyue. Every year, many people leave the family compound, and some move in.
After Lu He helped Jiang Jinyao inside, he went home to get some things and called Xia Xiaoli and Li Qingming along the way, who happened to be home.
After being invited, Li Qingming quickly went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some fruit and wine.
On their way back, He Shaohua and He Shaoyun saw Chu Lin.
After chatting and opening up with her sister, He Shaoyun felt much better.
Upon seeing Chu Lin's appearance, He Shaoyun glanced at him twice, said nothing, and prepared to return.
"Xiaoyun, I have something to tell you," Chu Lin said to He Shaoyun.
Although He Shaoyun had calmed down, she had nothing to say to Chu Lin.
“I’m busy,” He Shaoyun refused directly.
He Shaohua watched nervously from the sidelines, wondering if she was really going to miss this opportunity.
Chu Lin took out a few ten-yuan bills and some everyday receipts from his pocket and stuffed them into He Shaoyun's hand, saying, "I have a ticket back to Beijing tonight. I will write to you, and I will send you some of my monthly allowance. Although it's not much, I hope it can help alleviate your immediate needs."
He turned and headed towards the bus stop.
He Shaoyun looked down at the money he gave her, and couldn't help but glance at Chu Lin's back.
"Walking so fast, as if I'm going to eat him up! Do you think I need your money?!" Chu Lin's salary wasn't much to begin with; if he gave it to her, what would he spend in Beijing? "What a quiet person!"
Looking at her younger sister's sulky expression, He Shaohua found it adorable and reminded her, "Sometimes, if you get too angry, you'll lose something."
He Shaoyun gave a bitter smile and said in a deep voice, "We will lose each other. Perhaps, as my sister said, we are just destined to be apart."
He Shaohua smiled helplessly, took her sister's hand, and said, "Our little sister has grown up!"
At this moment, the heavy weight in He Shaoyun's heart seemed to be slowly easing.
They carried the fruit they had bought from outside and hurried back.
By the time the food was almost ready, it was already six o'clock.
Lu Chen and the others also rushed over after getting off work.
"Lu He, why don't you sit with us later?" Yu Qingce liked Lu He very much and just loved talking to her.
"good."
"The dumplings are here!" Xu Feiming brought out the best dish.
Lu Chen returned with Xu Tiande and the others.
"Xiao He, you're back and you didn't even say hello!" Wen Ru greeted Lu He happily as she watched his retreating figure.
Lu He is her apprentice, a girl who went from being a nurse to a doctor. Wen Ru also takes special care of Lu He.
"Aunt Wen, I went to your house yesterday, but you weren't there. Uncle Liu said you'd be back today, so I'm waiting for you!" Lu He naturally stepped forward and took Wen Ru's hand, explaining to her in a coquettish tone.
Liu Youyou watched as Lu He so naturally took her mother's hand.
He chuckled and teased, "You're even acting cute now! You're lighter than my daughter! If you keep doing that, I'll get angry!"
"Don't get angry and ruin your health," Lu He replied.
Liu Youyou's puffed-up expression is very cute.
Liu Youyou knew that her mother had high hopes for Lu He. When she was a child, her mother wanted her to study medicine, but Liu Youyou did not have the talent and was not interested in studying medicine.
