"I just came to see you. I don't have much time, so let's find a place to talk."
"Go with Grandma to get some pancakes to eat."
Yang Yufen spoke, and the two children followed her happily. Qin Nian poured some water and gave the room to Commander Liao and Shen Xianjun.
“Mother-in-law, I’m taking Niannian to my place to get some things. We’ll be right back.”
Dean Hu also spoke up.
"good."
Yang Yufen responded.
Qin Nian was a little confused, but she still followed Dean Hu.
In the room, Commander Liao looked at a cabinet full of books and then at the open books on the desk.
"Are these the books that Comrade Xiao Qin is reading?"
"No, my father-in-law and brother-in-law thought I was bored while I was recuperating, so they specially found this for me to watch. It's quite interesting."
Shen Xianjun looked at the stack of books; he had only seen the second one so far.
"Hmm, not bad. Young people should learn more. Have a seat."
Commander Liao nodded in satisfaction. This was the true meaning of revolutionary partners: mutual progress.
“Xianjun, I’m retiring soon. I specifically mentioned you to your brother-in-law Hu Jun before. Old Zhao should have told you. Now, take this to the Party School to register. It has the date on it.”
Commander Liao took out an application form with a stamp on it.
Why are you suddenly retiring?
Shen Xianjun was surprised.
"The news of the major military downsizing will be announced at the end of this month. At my age, I should set an example and give the opportunity to you young people. You should also read the books your father-in-law found for you. The future of the country depends on you."
"Commander..."
Shen Xianjun was about to speak when Commander Liao raised his hand to interrupt him.
"This is a policy proposed by the country for better development in the future. The nature and mission of soldiers is to obey the orders of their superiors. Military funds are used to research weapons, and it is also necessary to cultivate high-quality personnel to use these weapons. The international situation is changing every day, and falling behind will lead to being attacked."
Shen Xianjun remained silent, his brow furrowing even after he had seen his old leader off.
On the other side
"Teacher, is there something you need?"
For some reason, Qin Nian felt a little uneasy.
"Please sit down first. This is a decision the teacher made after careful consideration, but the final choice is yours, so don't be too nervous."
Dean Hu poured himself some tea.
“We have a quota for government-sponsored overseas study every year, but the people who are sent abroad have been unwilling to come back for various reasons over the years, which makes it extremely difficult to select government-sponsored personnel every time.”
Qin Nian nodded slightly upon hearing this; she knew something about it.
"Last year's military parade made us feel proud and confident, but this year, foreign countries' experimental data and technologies far surpass ours. Sending students abroad for further studies is both an opportunity and a risk."
"Does the teacher want me to go?"
Qin Nian found it hard to believe; she had wanted to go before, but her teacher had refused.
Because some students studying abroad are unwilling to return, and others are intercepted and prevented from returning home, coupled with the difficulty of surviving abroad, neither her teacher nor her teacher's wife agreed to her going for her safety.
