Qin Yanzheng spoke gently, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"This is what I'm thinking: I'll give that enlistment spot to my second brother. He's been idle at home since graduating from junior high school. To save my parents from worrying about this every day, I'll have my second brother leave with Comrade Bai and the others tomorrow."
Perhaps he can make a name for himself once he goes out.
Of course, I'll explain it to my second brother to avoid him getting upset.
"There's no need for that."
Qin Yanzheng said, "The enlistment and job quotas belong to you, Comrade Bai. How you want to arrange them is none of anyone else's business."
"You can't say it like that. My second brother is my family, but my second brother is also my family. If things aren't explained clearly, it can cause misunderstandings and hurt feelings."
Okay, you don't need to worry about it. Just know that this happened.
After a pause, Song Lan continued, "As for the job opening, I think it's just right for my younger sister. I'll make a trip to bring her back from the countryside, and then I'll take the job approval slip to the factory's personnel department to complete her onboarding procedures."
"You...you always think of others first, why don't you think about yourself?"
Qin Yanzheng felt sorry for his wife; his little girl was too innocent and never thought about herself.
"What do I have to think about for myself?"
Song Lan found it somewhat amusing. She said, "I have you, I have a job, and I have this family. I don't lack anything, so naturally I should give opportunities to those in the family who need them."
"Silly girl!"
Qin Yanzheng looked at him with affection: "Think more about yourself in the future, and don't always ignore others. It hurts me to see you like this."
Wu Dong had already returned to his room while Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng were talking; otherwise, he would have been overwhelmed by their public displays of affection.
"Where did I go wrong?!"
She glared at the man, her fair and beautiful face slightly flushed, as if she had applied a thin layer of rouge. She said, "A harmonious family is better than anything else. If everyone only thinks about themselves and is concerned about this and that gain and loss, wouldn't life be chaotic?"
"Okay, you're right."
Qin Yanzheng's tone was full of helplessness.
_
"what's on your mind?"
With October more than halfway through, the days were short and the nights long. Zhao Yunzhen and Chen Dongsheng were sitting in the car when they noticed Chen Dongsheng deep in thought, and Zhao Yunzhen couldn't help but ask him out of curiosity, as the dim light from outside the car window filtered in.
"Don't you think Comrade Song Lan looks familiar?"
Chen Dongsheng asked casually.
"What do you mean by familiar or not? This is the second time we've met Comrade Song. She's not a stranger to us, so of course she looks familiar."
Zhao Yunzhen found it all very strange.
That's not what I meant.
Chen Dongsheng shook his head and said, "I feel like I've seen Comrade Song Lan somewhere before."
Are you sure you're not just stating the obvious?
Zhao Yunzhen glanced at Chen Dongsheng and said, "Before, in the mountains..."
Chen Dongdong interrupted Zhao Yunzhen: "Didn't I already say that's not what I meant? Besides, when I met Comrade Song Lan in the mountains, I didn't pay attention to what she looked like."
I just felt like I recognized her at first glance, but after thinking about it carefully, I couldn't remember where I'd seen her before.
"You wouldn't have fallen for Comrade Song because of what I said, would you? Like that Brother Bao who said 'I've seen this sister before' when he first met Sister Lin. Chen Dadan, you don't actually want to be Brother Bao again, do you?"
As Zhao Yunzhen spoke, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"By the way, you've read those kinds of books?"
Chen Dongsheng's expression was ambiguous.
"You haven't seen it? If you haven't seen it, how would you know which 'Brother Bao' I'm talking about is?"
Zhao Yunzhen rolled her eyes and said nonchalantly, "I watched a bit of it when I was little, don't make a big deal out of it."
"I'm not that free."
Chen Dongsheng shook his head and said, "Never mind, I really can't remember where I've seen Comrade Song right now. Maybe I'm mistaken!"
"Actually, you might actually have met her. After all, based on our understanding of Comrade Song's information, she lived in Beijing before being transferred to the machinery factory's staff hospital."
Perhaps one day during your family visit leave, you'll happen to see Comrade Song Lan on the street.
Are you trying to comfort me?
"It's just a hypothetical situation, not something to comfort you, Chen Dadan."
Zhao Yunzhen shrugged and said, "Guess whether Comrade Song will give the enlistment spot to her second brother or her younger brother-in-law?"
"You're so free!"
Chen Dongsheng made no attempt to hide his disdain. He said, "That's Song Lan's own business. Why should we meddle in it?"
Furthermore, don't tell me you don't know we're planning to recruit a batch of greenhorns here next fall!
"That's true, it doesn't matter who Comrade Song gives the current enlistment spot to."
If I don't get a spot in the military, I can just apply myself next year.
Suddenly, Chen Dongsheng slapped his forehead: "I forgot to ask Comrade Song Lan about whether my son Xiaoxu's leg injury can be treated."
"Look how nervous you are. It's not like we won't see Comrade Song tomorrow."
After Zhao Yunzhen said that, Chen Dongsheng quickly returned to normal and said, "Remember to remind me tomorrow."
"knew."
I clearly remembered the route from the capital, so how come I forgot it at the crucial moment?
If Xiao Xu knew, he would probably doubt his brotherhood with Chen Dadan, the elder brother.
Zhao Yunzhen silently complained.
Shisong Village.
Song Qinghui looked at his father with a mixture of surprise and disbelief.
"Dad, you're not kidding me? My little sister really said I can enlist tomorrow?"
After sharing her thoughts with Qin Yanzheng, Song Lan called the Shisong Village brigade headquarters. Song Sanhe happened to be in the office; he picked up the phone and heard Song Lan's voice.
