On the other side, the second and fourth sisters-in-law were very busy.
While they were cleaning the living room skillfully, they were discussing Lin Zhiyue's visit to the military area today.
The second sister-in-law washed the fruits one by one and put them on the plate. She said, "Yueyue has finally come to the military region. We must make the atmosphere lively."
The fourth sister-in-law nodded vigorously, put the blanket she had just folded on the sofa, and responded, "Of course not. I have long thought about cooking a table of delicious dishes in the evening so that we can have a meal together."
After hearing what the fourth sister-in-law said, the second sister-in-law smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits. She patted her thigh without hesitation and said in a straightforward and cheerful tone: "Okay, the two sisters-in-law will prepare this meal together! I still have some meat tickets, and I was thinking about how to use them. I'll give them to you later. With these meat tickets, I will definitely be able to stew a pot of delicious braised pork tonight. Yueyue and the children will definitely love it!"
The fourth sister-in-law nodded quickly, her face full of gratitude. She took the second sister-in-law's hand and said, "That's great. With your help, this meal will definitely be good. By the way, I was so busy preparing the ingredients that I almost forgot about the third uncle. They don't live here often, so they probably don't have any ingredients at home. We should quickly tell them not to go home to cook tonight, but to come over and have a lively meal together, which will save them the trouble."
The second sister-in-law slapped her forehead and suddenly realized: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot about this. I'm going to call the third uncle and tell them to ignore everything tonight and just wait for him to come over and have a feast!"
As they spoke, the two smiled at each other and started working again enthusiastically.
Night slowly falls and the moonlight gently shines on the earth.
In the military district family building, the second brother's house was brightly lit and bustling. Everyone sat in the spacious and bright living room, laughing and talking.
The table was filled with delicious dishes, and the cooking skills of the second and fourth sisters-in-law were unanimously praised.
After eating and drinking, everyone chatted leisurely.
At this time, the second brother put down the teacup in his hand, cleared his throat, and spoke first, with a hint of doubt and concern on his face. He looked at Lin Zhiyue and said, "Little sister, I heard that you really plan to go to the military research institute? This is not a trivial matter, you have to think it through."
As soon as these words came out, the originally lively atmosphere suddenly became a little quiet.
Before Lin Zhiyue could respond, her mother Wen Yu sat up straight with an anxious look on her face.
She reached out her hand and gently held Lin Zhiyue's arm, her brows knitted tightly together, her voice filled with a bit of blame and worry: "My daughter, you told me the other day that you wanted to have a good rest. You just had a day off, why are you suddenly going to the Military Region Research Institute again? Don't tire yourself out, mom loves you."
Lin Zhiyue looked at her mother's worried face, and her heart warmed. She gently patted her mother's hand. Just as she was about to speak, her father Lin Lang, who had been smoking silently beside her, put out his cigarette butt in the ashtray, slowly raised his head, and looked at her with some scrutiny and consideration: "Girl, tell me, why are you so anxious to go to this military research institute?"
The father's voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry an unquestionable majesty, which made everyone's attention focus on Lin Zhiyue again. The second brother also echoed: "Yes, little sister, your sudden decision has made everyone in the family a little confused. If you really have an idea, tell us about it."
Facing the continuous inquiries from his family, Lin Zhiyue took a deep breath and looked at everyone present with a firm gaze: "Dad, Mom, Brother, I know you are worried about me, but this trip to the Military Region Research Institute is a rare opportunity for me."
She paused slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of excitement and yearning, "You also know that our country's weapons are backward, causing many soldiers to lose their lives while performing their missions. I have the ability, and I also want to contribute my own strength to the scientific research of the military region."
After hearing this, the mother's eyes turned red and her lips moved. She seemed to want to say something, but in the end she just sighed softly. The second brother nodded thoughtfully: "Since my little sister has her own plans, we, as her brothers, should support you. But you are alone over there, so you must take good care of yourself."
At this time, the eldest sister-in-law, who had been listening quietly, smiled and broke the slightly solemn atmosphere: "Okay, okay, since my little sister has made up her mind, let's stop persuading her. I believe that my little sister will definitely make some achievements in the research institute, and maybe she will become the pride of our family in the future!"
Wen Yu gently pulled Lin Zhiyue's hand and held her daughter's hand tightly in her palm, as if she was afraid that she would leave in the next second.
She sighed slightly, her voice full of heartache and reluctance, and continued, "Yueyue, my precious daughter, I am not heartless and don't agree with you going to the military research institute. In my heart, I know better than anyone that you have your own ideals and ambitions, and I also know that you are doing meaningful things."
She raised her hand and gently stroked Lin Zhiyue's hair, her movements were as gentle as if she was treating a rare treasure: "But mom just can't bear to see you too tired. Think about the last time you were at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, you worked day and night, I don't know how many all-nighters you pulled, and you didn't have a good rest for so long. You only slept for a few hours a day, and you didn't even have time to eat well. You lost a lot of weight."
Wen Yu's voice trembled slightly, and the worry in her eyes became more intense: "You finally said you wanted to come back and rest, and mom was so happy, thinking that I could take good care of you and let you recuperate. The luggage is not even packed yet, and you haven't really started to rest, why are you busy again? Mom really loves you, and is afraid that you will tire yourself out."
Lin Lang looked at Wen Yu, whose face was full of worry. He stretched out his broad palm and gently patted her shoulder. With a gentle smile on his face, he comforted her in a gentle voice, "Okay, my wife, don't worry anymore. Our daughter is not a child anymore. She has her own plans in her mind. You should relax a little."
He paused slightly, then looked up at Lin Zhiyue who was sitting next to him, his eyes full of trust and encouragement: "Think about it, whether Yueyue is studying or working, she has always done well. This time she went to the Military Region Research Institute, she must have thought it through carefully, she knows what she is doing."
Lin Lang took Wen Yu's hand and squeezed it gently, trying to reassure her: "Besides, the Military Region Research Institute is close to us, right under our noses. Compared to when we were at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, we can visit her anytime, and if she has a headache or fever, we can take care of her in time. If she encounters any difficulties, we, as parents, can also lend a hand."
His voice was steady and powerful, like a reassurance: "We should believe in our daughter's ability."
