Lin Tao had always wanted to join the army, but he didn't get selected after he signed up. So when he saw Gong Moze, he became very talkative and kept pestering Gong Moze to talk. Gong Moze wasn't a talkative person to begin with, and he was a little helpless when Lin Tao asked him questions, but he still answered some of his questions!
Lin Qi lay in bed, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Li Jin. "Sister Jin, tell me quickly how you and Brother-in-law Gong met?" Lin Jin blushed slightly and, under the dim light, gently recounted the details of how she and Gong Moze met. From their initial chance encounter to their gradual understanding of each other's feelings, Lin Qi listened intently, occasionally letting out exclamations of surprise.
"Wow, Sister Jin, your story is so romantic! Brother-in-law Gong looks so handsome, and he's in the army, he must be really amazing," Lin Qi said with envy. Lin Jin smiled and nodded, "He is indeed very outstanding, and he's very good to me." As she spoke, a happy smile spread across her face.
Meanwhile, in the room, Lin Tao was still enthusiastically asking Gong Moze about the military. "Brother Moze, is the training in the military particularly tough? What do you do every day?" Gong Moze patiently replied, "The training is indeed not easy. Every day we have to do physical training, tactical training, and the like, but these are all necessary steps to becoming a qualified soldier."
Lin Tao's eyes were full of longing. "I wish I had been selected back then. I could have trained myself in the army like you." Gong Moze patted him on the shoulder. "Don't be discouraged if you weren't selected. As long as you have the will, you can shine in other places. Maybe you'll have another chance in the future."
Li Jin asked Lin Qi about her time at school, and Lin Qi answered all her questions. Then, with some regret, Lin Qi said, "Sister Jin, I almost became your junior!"
Li Jin comforted him, saying, "Shanghai is a good place, with plenty of room for development!"
Lin Qi asked again, "Sister Jin, do you think it's better for me to stay in Shanghai or go back to Suzhou after graduation? I only have two years left before graduation, and I really don't know what to do!" Li Jin thought for a moment and said seriously, "It depends on your own thoughts. Shanghai has more development opportunities, is more prosperous, and you can be exposed to many new things. If you like challenges and want broader development, staying in Shanghai is a good choice. But Suzhou is our hometown, our relatives and friends are all here, and we will feel more at home here."
Lin Qi rested her chin on her hand, seemingly lost in thought. "Sister Jin, what you said makes sense. But I'm still a little undecided."
Li Jin smiled and patted her head. "Don't rush, there are still two years. You can use your holidays to do more internships in Shanghai, experience the work atmosphere there, and then make a decision based on your major and interests. No matter what you choose, I will support you."
Hearing this, Lin Qi felt much more at ease. "Okay, I'll listen to you, sister. I should have an answer after my internship." With that, she drifted off to sleep, full of anticipation. Li Jin also gradually fell asleep in the warm atmosphere, looking forward to her days back in her hometown.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the cracks in the window and fell on her face, causing Lin Jin to slowly wake up. She got up gently, not wanting to wake Lin Qi, who was still fast asleep. Stepping out of the room, she found her aunt already busy in the kitchen.
"Auntie, let me help," Lin Jin said as she walked into the kitchen. Her aunt smiled at her, "You rarely come back, take a rest. I can do this." But Lin Jin insisted on helping, and the two prepared breakfast together.
A little while later, Gong Moze and Lin Tao also got up. After breakfast, Li Jin asked Lin Tao about his future plans. Lin Tao was already 17 this year and had long since dropped out of school. He was currently building houses for people in the village, earning little and working quite hard. Li Jin had known about this situation yesterday. She had thought about it before going to bed last night. Lin Tao was a hardworking and capable young man, and Li Jin wanted to take him under her wing and train him. Li Jin also wanted to develop a career in real estate!
