Director Yuan said, "This soldier has excellent writing skills; the story is well-written and flows smoothly."
"Director Yuan, it shouldn't have been written by a soldier."
"Um?"
"The name of the person who submitted the article is that of a woman, so she is probably a military dependent."
Director Yuan glanced at the submitted article's title.
Ran Jinnian.
"The story is well-written, and the title is catchy. We'll keep this manuscript." Director Yuan took a sip of tea.
The staff got busy again.
.........
Southern Military Region.
Family compound.
Ran Jinnian is going on stage to receive an award today.
She wore a floral top underneath, paired with black flared pants, and a thick green coat on top.
She wore a pair of small flower earrings on her delicate ears, which she had made herself from white gauze.
She has many styles of earrings in her online space, but they are all made of either special or expensive materials. Given the current sensitive environment, she wouldn't dare wear them out.
Ran Jinnian turned around in front of the mirror, and Zhou Hongying outside urged, "Jinnian, what are you doing? Hurry up!"
"They're here." Ran Jinnian quickly applied a light-colored lipstick, picked up An'an, and strode out.
Zhou Hongying's eyes lit up: "When you're good-looking, you look good in anything."
The colors of these clothes weren't particularly striking, but she wore them very well.
She didn't understand that this was called matching.
"What are those earrings you're wearing?" Zhou Hongying had never seen earrings like that before.
Ran Jinnian smiled and said, "These are flower earrings that I made myself."
"Jin Nian, you are so skillful! These little flowers are so beautiful," Zhou Hongying exclaimed.
“My sister-in-law is busy with housework all day long, but if she has some free time, she will definitely do it too.”
Ran Jinnian was telling the truth; Zhou Hongying had three children and had a lot of family matters to attend to.
An'an is still young, and all she does every day is sleep, which is the easiest time to take care of her.
Zhou Hongying particularly liked Ran Jinnian, finding her voice exceptionally pleasant.
Since Ran Jinnian came to the family compound, she has seen Qin Shulan and others less often.
"Do you know what we're having this meeting for today?" Zhou Hongying changed the subject.
Ran Jinnian already knew, but Lu Jinyuan had told her, so she couldn't say, "What's up?"
“The military region selects an outstanding military family member every six months, and you have a high chance of winning this time.”
Why does my sister-in-law think it's me?
“Your script has won praise from the top leader. Then the drama troupe took a liking to it. If you don’t win an award, who will?” Zhou Hongying said with great certainty.
After she finished speaking, she added, "When you were in postpartum confinement, Director Li visited the family compound."
Ran Jinnian was in postpartum confinement and did not know about this.
“Director Li is the women’s director of the military region. She will definitely listen to our concerns and solicit opinions from the masses.” Zhou Hongying looked around: “She also mentioned you.”
"Did Director Li mention me?"
“Yes, they asked us what kind of person you are, what kind of personality you have, and how you do things.” Zhou Hongying finished speaking and then cursed, “I heard that Yu Xiuzhi said you were lazy and made men do your laundry and chores all day long. Anyway, she said some really bad things.”
“She just can’t stand to see you doing well; she’s jealous of you and your man.” Zhou Hongying was afraid Ran Jinnian would overthink things. “Don’t be angry. What does she have that’s better than you?”
Ran Jinnian didn't care: "If a dog bites me, do I have to bite back? I can just kick it away."
"Pfft." Zhou Hongying laughed.
