"Rumei." Qin Hanshu suddenly walked in one direction.

Rumei was pregnant. When she heard Qin Hanshu's call, she turned around and smiled brightly at her, "You have also signed up for the exam."

"Yeah." Qin Hanshu came closer and sighed, "It's been a long time since we last met, and your belly is so big now."

"Of course," Rumei touched her belly, "I was only two months pregnant when we last met, and I'm almost giving birth now."

Ru Mei and Huo Zhenduo didn't have children in the first two years of their marriage, so this is her first pregnancy.

Huo Zhenduo carefully protected Ru Mei from behind and only politely greeted Qin Hanshu and Zhou Weiguang who followed.

Qin Hanshu couldn't help but sigh that Huo Zhenduo was not only completely different from the previous life, but also very different from when they first met in this life.

The fierceness in his eyes gradually faded away, and he became more and more gentle and elegant.

Even the scar on his cheekbone no longer looked scary.

Qin Hanshu exchanged a few words with Rumei and then they parted ways.

The exam lasted two days. After the second day, Zhou Weiguang was standing at the door waiting for her again.

Zhou Weiguang said first: "I came here specifically to pick you up today."

Qin Hanshu smiled and glared at him.

Zhou Weiguang straightened his hat and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal."

"Zhou Chi is still at home."

Zhou Weiguang said: "It's okay, I have already entrusted him upstairs."

Qin Hanshu thought for a moment and said, "Then I'm going to Guangde Building to have a good meal."

Zhou Weiguang: “Okay!”

I have been tense these two days because of the exams. As soon as I relaxed after the exams, I wanted to have a big meal.

Zhou Weiguang ordered four dishes and a soup without any regrets, saying that he had brought a lunch box and could take home any leftovers.

"By the way, your brother might have to change his career."

Qin Hanshu was not surprised at all. "He will change his career sooner or later."

I spent several years in the army in this life.

Qin Hanshu asked: "Can he transfer to Jiangcheng? Or must he return to his hometown?"

If he had to go back to his hometown, Qin Feiyang would have to go back to the capital.

Zhou Weiguang said: "He is eligible to transfer to Jiangcheng because your sister-in-law has a Jiangcheng hukou. But Zhang Lei must go back to his hometown."

Qin Hanshu looked up in surprise, "Captain Zhang is also going to retire?"

Zhou Weiguang: "Zhang Lei has not been able to make further progress this time. He is already 38 years old, and battalion-level cadres can only work until they are 40 years old at most. Although not now, he will most likely be transferred to civilian work next year or the year after."

Zhang Lei has been in his current position for a long time.

In fact, when he was young, Zhang Lei's career path was no worse than Zhou Weiguang's, but he did not have such strong conditions as Zhou Weiguang - he had enough merits and a mentor.

However, after transferring to his hometown, Zhang Lei no longer had to work in the fields for a living, which meant he had completed a class leap.

"So, Sister Er Cui will also have to go back to her hometown with me, and we won't be able to see each other again in the future?" Qin Hanshu suddenly felt a little bad.

Zhou Weiguang didn't know how to comfort her, and after thinking for a while, he said, "All good things must come to an end."

Yes, coming together and parting is the norm in life.

After finishing the meal, Zhou Weiguang looked at Qin Hanshu and said, "Wife, go and pay the bill."

Qin Hanshu didn't move, "Didn't you say you were treating me to a meal? Why do you want me to pay the bill?"

Zhou Weiguang didn't blush at all, "I don't have any money."

He said this so confidently and loudly that a man and a woman at the next table looked over.

The two men looked at Zhou Weiguang, their faces full of disbelief, as if they had not expected that a man in military uniform would be a gigolo.

Qin Hanshu suppressed his laughter and went downstairs to pay the bill.

When I returned to the family compound and just walked downstairs, I ran into Qin Feiyang and his family of three.

Qin Feiyang was holding his daughter Mengmeng in his arms, and Cao Jing was carrying something in her hands.

Meng Meng saw Qin Hanshu and Zhou Weiguang first, her eyes lit up, and she called out sweetly, "Aunt, Uncle."

Zhou Weiguang couldn't help but curl his lips and agreed gently.

Mengmeng is one year younger than Zhou Chi. She is delicate and gentle, and is the ideal daughter of Zhou Weiguang and Qin Hanshu.

Qin Hanshu stretched out her hand, "Aunt, hug me."

The little girl rushed over immediately.

Qin Hanshu took it and weighed it. "It's a bit heavy. Has it grown taller?"

Meng Meng nodded her head and said, "Yeah, Meng Meng eats two big packets of paper in one meal."

Cao Jing laughed and said, "What big buns? They are small steamed buns. I can eat two of them."

Being laughed at by her mother, Mengmeng pouted her lips and folded her arms to look angry.

Qin Hanshu said: "To our Mengmeng, it's just a big bun, right?"

Mengmeng smiled again and nodded.

Several adults laughed.

As they walked upstairs, Qin Hanshu asked, "Are you going back to your mother's house?"

"Yes." Cao Jing nodded.

Qin Feiyang asked Qin Hanshu: "How did you do in the exam? Are you sure you can get into university?"

Cao Jing glanced at him and said, "Don't you know that people who have just left the examination room hate being asked this question?"

Qin Feiyang closed his mouth, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Zhou Weiguang turned his head to look at Qin Feiyang for a few seconds, with a smile on his face.

Qin Feiyang looked back unconvinced: What? Have you never seen anyone who is afraid of his wife?

When they reached the door of their home, Qin Hanshu said to Zhou Weiguang, "Go up and fetch Zhou Chi. I want to talk to my brother and sister-in-law."

Zhou Weiguang: "What are you talking about? Can't I listen in?"

"Tsk," Qin Hanshu frowned, "I asked you to pick up Zhou Chi, why are you talking so much?"

Zhou Weiguang touched his nose, turned around and saw Qin Feiyang staring at him, giving him a look that said "you're nothing special".

Qin Hanshu and Cao Jing didn't notice the secret contest between the two men at all.

Qin Hanshu put Mengmeng down and said, "Sister-in-law, I heard that my brother is going to change his career?"

Cao Jing nodded and said, "Yes, the list has been submitted. According to the procedure, it will be confirmed after New Year's Day."

Qin Hanshu asked: "Then you don't know what unit you will be transferred to yet?"

Qin Feiyang walked in. "Anyway, let's take staying in Jiangcheng as the first step."

Cao Jing's parents' home and workplace are in Jiangcheng, and her sister's family is also in Jiangcheng. Qin Feiyang doesn't want to return to the capital.

Qin Hanshu nodded, "That's right, it doesn't matter what unit you work for, but now that the college entrance examination has been resumed, who knows how society will change in the future."

Qin Feiyang: "Yes, I think so too."

Qin Hanshu thought for a while and said, "I've wanted to discuss this with you for a long time. It's not a big deal that the houses in our capital have been empty. Do you have any reliable people who can move in and help us look after the houses?"

"I had asked my neighbor, Grandma Wu, to help look after our house. She wrote to me and told me that the street office had come to ask several times if we could arrange for someone else to move in if no one was going to go back."

"I don't trust the people assigned by the street. What if they can't be driven out after living there?"

The main reason is that houses now have no private property rights. The property rights are in the hands of the street collective, which makes it difficult to argue.

Qin Hanshu remembered that there would be a property rights reform of the courtyard houses in the future. Since no one in their family would move back to live there, those who were arranged by the street to move in would have a lot of room to transfer the property rights to their own names.

Qin Feiyang nodded slowly, "That's a problem."

Qin Hanshu added: "Grandma Wu's son has helped to speak up a few times, but now more and more people are eyeing the house, and it's getting difficult to deal with."

Qin Feiyang said: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me."

Qin Hanshu: "Rent and such are not important, the main thing is that I can help you find a house."

Qin Feiyang: "I understand."

After finishing the business, Qin Hanshu hugged Mengmeng and played with her for a while before returning home.
