Ran Jinnian looked at the girl in front of her. She was about twenty years old, with a round face and was very cute.
"Who are you?" Ran Jinnian asked, recognizing her as a member of the performing arts troupe.
"My name is Bai Qian."
Bai Qian's voice was clear and melodious. She mustered up her courage and pointed to the flower earrings Ran Jin was wearing: "Your earrings are very pretty. Where did you buy them?"
Ran Jinnian hadn't expected her to ask this, so she smiled and said, "I made this myself."
"Ah, you made this yourself?" Bai Qian was completely taken aback. Her eyes crinkled into crescent moons. "What did you use to make it?"
"This is not difficult; just wrap white gauze into a flower shape."
Bai Qian looked at him expectantly: "Can you teach me?"
"Sure." Ran Jin nodded. Anyone who knows how to do handicrafts can make these flower earrings after just one look.
Bai Qian was overjoyed: "I'm on vacation tomorrow, can I come to visit you?"
“Okay, come find me in the family compound.” Ran Jin read out the apartment number in the family compound.
Everyone looked at Bai Qian with envy.
Yan Qingxue snorted. "It's just a pair of flower earrings. What's so special about them?"
Bai Qian left.
Zhou Hongying leaned closer: "Her name is Bai Qian."
"Sister-in-law, do you know her?"
“I know her, but she doesn’t know me. Her position in the cultural troupe is second only to Yan Qingxue.” Zhou Hongying has lived in the family compound for many years and is known by many people.
As soon as everyone arrived at the residential compound, a woman pointed to the bulletin board and said, "Look."
There is a bulletin board at the main entrance of the residential compound, and its contents are changed every three months.
The above contains real-time news, event notices, and promotional content from the military region.
"Ran Jinnian, an outstanding military family member of the Southern Military Region in the first half of 1972," a sister-in-law read aloud.
"Jin Nian, your name is on the bulletin board."
Zhou Hongying was even happier than Ran Jinnian.
Ran Jinnian stepped forward and took a look. The message praised her, saying she was a role model for everyone.
"Does everyone who receives the Outstanding Military Family Award get their names posted on the bulletin board?" Ran Jinnian asked, puzzled for the first time.
One of the women said, "Everyone who gets this will be on the bulletin board. You're the most amazing one."
"ah?"
"You've only been in the military region for less than six months, and you've already received the Outstanding Military Family Member Award. You're the first one in the family compound." This remark was a bit sarcastic.
Ran Jinnian smiled slightly, like a pear blossom blooming on a branch: "Those in the family compound are all outstanding military families."
Everyone felt as sweet as if they had eaten honey.
night.
When Lu Jinyuan returned from get off work, Ran Jinnian had already prepared the meal, which she had made in her spatial storage and brought out.
As soon as An'an saw her father, she immediately started babbling.
"An'an, did you miss your dad?" After washing his hands, Lu Jinyuan couldn't wait to pick up his son.
"Ahhhhh!"
An'an was talking in baby talk.
"You miss your dad, don't you? Dad misses you too." Lu Jinyuan chatted earnestly with his son.
"Ahhh."
The father and son chatted for a while, their conversation seemingly rambling on and on.
Ran Jinnian smiled and said, "Alright, let's eat first."
Lu Jinyuan put An'an on the bed: "After Commander Lin's birthday in a few days, I will take a day off. I will ask for another day off and we will go to Heyang County."
"What are you going to Heyang County for?" Ran Jinnian asked.
“My old commander called me today. He’s passing through Heyang County and wants to see you and the child.” Lu Jinyuan was under Commander Xia’s command when he first joined the army.
Chief Xia took special care of him, and he learned a lot from him.
His success today is thanks to his former superior.
"Okay, should we prepare something?"
This was the first time Ran Jinnian had heard him mention this old commander.
"The old commander just wanted to see you and the child." Lu Jinyuan didn't think too much about it.
Ran Jinnian disagreed: "We are the younger generation meeting the elders, so we should be prepared, otherwise we would be impolite."
