Political Commissar Zhao looked at Shen Xianjun with reproach.
"I agree, Mother, it's just a small matter..."
Shen Xianjun thought that his mother was unhappy because he said he wouldn't send his allowance home, and he wanted to explain, but Yang Yufen didn't give him the chance.
"Comrade Political Commissar heard that. With the Political Commissar's testimony, I trust our unit and won't delay the Political Commissar's work."
Yang Yufen hung up the phone after speaking, not wanting to listen to her son's nonsense.
Just in time, Yang Yufen took out a dollar. Answering the phone also costs money, and it's ridiculously expensive.
Shen Xianjun touched his nose. It seemed that his mother was quite angry about his marriage, since she had never cared about his allowance before.
“A real man should keep his promise to Aunt Yang. From now on, I will have Comrade Qin Nian collect your allowance on your behalf.”
"yes!"
Shen Xianjun immediately gave a military salute, which is not unusual in the army.
Shen Xianjun originally planned to give his allowance directly to his wife after marriage, and he would just pass it over. Now, he doesn't even need to pass it over anymore, as his mother has arranged all the money.
"Captain, could you ask your nephew to buy me a train ticket to Kyoto for seven days from now?"
Yang Yufen didn't plan to delay any longer. Last time she was in a rush, so this time she was allowing seven days. The grain at home had been dried, and everything else was ready. She wanted to take everything with her to Kyoto. Her daughter-in-law must have gotten pregnant right after the wedding, so it would be perfect for her to go once she was all packed.
Telephone calls could be made at the brigade headquarters, but telegrams had to be sent to the post office. The telegram to his daughter-in-law would be sent on the day of departure.
Yang Yufen handed the key to her friend Miao Guixiang, then picked up her load and left.
Kyoto
“I have an urgent mission. We’ll have the banquet when I get back. My mom has a strong personality. She called and asked for a third of my allowance. Don’t worry about it too much. After all, we got our marriage certificate in a hurry and didn’t tell her. It’s normal for her to be angry.”
Shen Xianjun was satisfied with his new wife. She was a gentle and quiet person with a high level of education. If it weren't for the matchmaking by a high-ranking leader, he might not have been able to marry her.
However, he is also quite capable. He has already earned several military merits in just six years of service. If it weren't for the short service requirement, he wouldn't just be a platoon leader now.
Qin Nian's family had all sacrificed their lives for the country. Although her family was gone, this identity was still the most suitable for someone like him with such a weak background.
"Okay, I get paid too. Be careful on your mission. I'll continue living at the research institute until you come back, then I'll move here."
Qin Nian responded softly. Her husband was raised by his mother alone and wanted to receive her son's allowance. As a newly married daughter-in-law, she naturally had nothing to say. However, her husband always said that his mother had a strong personality, which made her a little worried about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Her job also meant she couldn't revolve around her husband and family like other women, so if her mother-in-law was picky...
Qin Nian shook off her extraneous thoughts, packed Shen Xianjun's things and watched him leave, then packed her own things and returned to the research institute's courtyard.
Yes, her position, although she was single before, she was still assigned to a small courtyard. She didn't like the newly built tenement building, feeling that there were too many people.
After Yang Yufen finished sending the telegram, she squeezed onto the train.
Qin Nian had just gotten married and spent about ten days with Shen Xianjun, but then returned to her single life, busy with work all day. She was a little dumbfounded when she received the telegram.
My mother-in-law is actually coming to Kyoto, and she's already on the train. However, her husband, Shen Xianjun, is on a mission and his return date is uncertain. The telegram was sent directly to her research institute, and judging by the days, it should arrive today!
"Professor, I need to ask for leave."
Qin Nian took the telegram to her mentor, Dean Hu of the research institute.
