When Wang Shunde heard her words, he was very surprised. "No way! My sister is still young. How could my mother let her get married so soon?"
"She's already eighteen this year, isn't she? It's early for country people to get married at eighteen.
Your mother has been asking you these past few days if there are any unmarried people in the army. Don't you notice anything amiss?"
"I just thought that she was an old country lady who had just joined the army and was curious about these things.
Are you telling the truth? My mother really likes Captain Zhou and wants to match him with my younger sister?"
"Why would I lie to you? A few days ago, she wanted me to mediate. How could I have the nerve to tell Captain Zhou about this?"
Wang Shunde was a little unhappy when he heard her say that. "What do you mean? My little sister is not bad either."
How dare he say such a thing.
His younger sister might be good to others, but to Zhou Yin, this condition is really nothing.
"She's your sister, so naturally you think everything about her is good.
But ask yourself honestly, if you had Captain Zhou's conditions, what kind of marriage partner would you choose?
Wang Shunde remained silent.
Xue Dingxiang glanced at him and said, “I’m telling you this because I want to tell you that I don’t care about this matter.
If your mother comes looking for you, don't take it for me."
"Why should I take on this for you? Go to sleep. You have to get up early tomorrow."
Wang Meiyun also heard the news that Shen Annian had returned, and came over to see him.
But she did not go near, just stood far away. When she saw them carrying the child into the house and the people around them congratulating them, she curled her lips and walked back home.
The two children were doing their homework at home while she went into the kitchen to make dinner.
Not long after, Ding Liansheng came back.
She pulled him aside and said, "Shen Annian has been discharged from the hospital. Did you know about this?"
Ding Liansheng asked in surprise, "She's back? Should we find some time to go see her?"
Wang Meiyun complained: "What's so good about it? Isn't it just giving birth to a child? Who hasn't given birth to a child?
I heard that she took a month's leave, and the army gave her two months of maternity leave. In total, she had three months of leave. She was really lucky.
If someone else had taken such a long break, they would have been fired long ago.
You said she earns such a high salary, and she takes such a long break to have a baby, will the people in the factory have any objections?"
Ding Liansheng glanced at her and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"She has to rest for such a long time, but the factory still has to run. Have you ever thought about finding someone to take over her job?
If someone takes over her job, she won't have to worry about things at the factory and can stay at home to take care of her baby."
"Who do you think would be a good replacement for her?"
Speaking of this, Wang Meiyun immediately wiped her hands and straightened her back slightly, "What do you think of me?"
Ding Liansheng looked at her in shock, "You?"
Wang Meiyun was very dissatisfied with his reaction. "What's wrong with me? I only graduated from high school. Can't I do what she can do?"
Ding Liansheng didn't expect that this was her idea, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
“I can’t do this kind of thing of picking peaches.
You know what our Third Regiment was like originally. We worked hard for a year to build the factory and provided jobs for everyone.
Now that she has a child, I will take her away and snatch her job. What will I become then?
I will be scolded by others when the time comes. I can’t do this.”
Wang Meiyun was so angry that her nose was almost crooked. What did he mean by that? How did she become the peach picker?
"Isn't she in confinement now? Who knows when she can go back to work.
Besides, her child is so young, and she has to take care of the child while also taking care of her work. It's inevitable that she might not be able to do her job well. Aren't you worried that it will affect her work?"
"I'm not in charge of the factory. Lao Fang is in charge of this. What's the point of you talking to me?"
Hearing his tone, Wang Meiyun knew that he had softened, and took advantage of the situation to say, "As the head of the Third Regiment, how come you have no say in this matter?
If the factory's work is delayed because of her and the factory suffers losses, wouldn't it also be a loss for our Third Regiment, and it would not benefit you either."
"Everything has been arranged, with Lao Fang in charge of the food factory, Wang Guixiang looking after the chicken farm, and Lao Yang and Lao Liang looking after the pig farm. There won't be any major problems.
She's a technician. Even if I gave you her job, could you do it? You don't know how to raise pigs."
Speaking of this, Wang Meiyu felt a little weak.
She really didn't know how to raise pigs, but a technician could earn more than 60 yuan a month, while she worked at a sugar factory and earned less than 40 yuan a month.
For the high salary, she is willing to work in the environment of a pig farm.
"I don't understand, but I can learn."
"Forget it, who has the time for you to study?
If you have medical knowledge and want to work in a breeding farm, I can recommend it to you.
You have no skills at all and know nothing about raising pigs or chickens. Now you tell me you want to work on a farm. Even if I let you go, will others be willing to do so? "
Seeing that Wang Meiyun wanted to speak, he continued, "How can it be justified to let you study on the farm and get a salary for nothing?
If I really put you in there, that would be abusing my power for personal gain.
If someone reports it, I might end up being implicated by you.
You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible and just work honestly in the sugar factory.
The sugar factory is also quite profitable. If you have the ability, you will be able to move up sooner or later."
