Chapter 84 Mutual Protection and Support
A few days before school started, Huo Qingming returned home. His unit was not far from Xijing City and was under the jurisdiction of the Provincial Military Region. Huo Zheng's plan was to bring the boss back to Xijing before he retired.
Since the second brother has a wild temper, let him continue to guard the border while he accumulates experience and does some practical work and makes more contributions.
Huo Qingqing told her eldest brother about Gao Yunxia.
Huo Qingming said, "Just go and read your book. I'll arrange for someone to keep an eye on her. If she dares to go against us, how much is her life worth?"
Huo Qingqing said, "Don't tell your parents about these things, so as not to make them worry."
Huo Qingming, "You underestimate them too much. They already know everything clearly."
Huo Qingqing, "Ah! How did they know?"
Huo Qingming, "Have you forgotten that Dad is the commander of the military region? Nothing can escape his sharp eyes? But don't worry, I have told them both, just leave this matter to me."
Huo Qingqing, "Also, after I leave, you have to go home more often and take care of Jianwu more often when you have time, okay?"
Huo Qingming laughed angrily, "Girls really can't be kept when they grow up! I can't stop talking about Jianwu. Am I, your brother, redundant?"
Huo Qingqing, "It's enough that you have your sister-in-law's care! By the way, brother, do you have a girl you like? It's abnormal that you don't have a partner at such an old age?"
Huo Qingming pointed at Huo Qingqing and said, "Huo Qingqing, how can you talk like that? How old am I?"
Huo Qingqing laid on the table and laughed, "I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue. Mom and Dad are very concerned about your personal problems, and they couldn't get any answers, so they asked me to ask you, tell me the truth, do you have a baby? If you do, tell your family and bring it home to meet them? This is not something shameful, it's a good thing!"
Huo Qingming is 28 years old, which is indeed not young anymore.
"No." Huo Qingming said after thinking seriously for a while.
Huo Qingqing, "No? That's impossible! Brother, is it true that no girl has ever caught your eye?"
Huo Qingming, "No."
Huo Qingqing rolled her eyes a few times. As a parent, she had to continue questioning him, "You are so handsome, so why don't any girls pursue you?"
Huo Qingming, "I don't see many girls all year round, where would anyone come from to pursue me?"
Huo Qingqing, "Then there must be girls in your army's infirmary, medical team, hospital, etc.? There are girls in the communications corps, right? There are also female art soldiers! Why do you sound like all of you are men?"
Huo Qingming said, "I'm not familiar with those female soldiers."
Huo Qingqing: "..."
The conversation between the brother and sister came to a stalemate. After a moment, Huo Qingqing asked again, "What kind of girl do you like? I'll introduce one to you later."
Huo Qingming waved his hand, "No, I'd rather meet someone I like."
Huo Qingqing, "Okay, but my parents said that if you don't make any progress before you turn 30, they will arrange everything for you."
It’s not that Huo Qingming doesn’t have a girl he likes, but the girl he likes is in the same situation as Huo Qingqing, a rural girl. Huo Qingqing and Han Jianwu's family had no choice but to accept them. Now, in order to obtain the household registration for Han Jianwu and the two children, as well as Han Jianwu's job, the parents had to humble themselves and ask for help from others. Even this was difficult to accomplish. After all, it was a national policy. Even after Huo Zhengcai was reinstated, he did not dare to go against the policy.
As the eldest son in the family, if Huo Qingming were to marry a rural woman, his parents would probably be so angry that they would die. Not to mention whether people in rural areas are looked down upon, the mere fact of a rural household registering and moving to the city is enough to make people feel puzzled.
There was still a chance for Huo Qingming to get the girl he liked, so he deliberately interrupted and delayed the conversation. The girl was from the mountains in the southwest. Her parents had passed away long ago, and she lived with her grandparents. Her grandfather died in a fall while cutting wood a few years ago, and she and her grandmother depended on each other for life. Fortunately, her grandmother always let her study.
During the years when Huo Qingming's parents had the accident, he was also ostracized in the army. When he was sent to the southwest to perform a mission, he fell off a cliff and was seriously injured. He was rescued by the girl named Jin Fuling. After he woke up, he tried to get in touch with the troops. Later, he stayed at a fellow villager's home to recuperate before returning to the team.
Huo Qingming has always been in contact with the grandmother and granddaughter. The old lady died of illness two years ago. Huo Qingming asked someone to find a temporary job for Jin Fuling in the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town. The girl is very down-to-earth and does an excellent job. She also took the college entrance examination last year, but failed because she had too little time to review and she had only attended junior high school. Huo Qingming encouraged her to take the exam again next year, which is this year.
Huo Qingming suddenly asked his sister, "By the way, the college entrance examination was resumed with only one month to prepare, how did you do so well in the exam?"
Huo Qingqing, "???"
"Brother, why are you asking about the college entrance examination again?"
Huo Qingming, "I have finished my questions, so I will ask you about the college entrance examination."
Huo Qingqing, "I usually read books too! I have to thank you and mom for buying me a radio. When I heard the news, I felt that the resumption of the college entrance examination was inevitable, so I was prepared."
Huo Qingming, "I believe this, but I still feel something is wrong."
Huo Qingqing was shocked, "What's wrong?"
Huo Qingming, "You weren't that good at studying before. Besides, I remember you didn't seem to like studying very much?"
Huo Qingqing, "People change! I was sent to the countryside to be a farmer, married a farmer, and gave birth to two farmer children. If I don't seize the opportunity, will I really stay in the countryside forever?"
Huo Qingming stared at his sister for a long time and said, "In your opinion, do you think someone who has only finished junior high school can be admitted to university?"
As long as Jin Fuling is admitted to university, her parents will definitely agree to their relationship.
Huo Qingqing said, "To be honest, it is difficult, but not necessarily. After all, people are different. If you are smart, have a high IQ and can endure the hardship of studying, then you may be able to pass the exam, and you may even do well. It depends on the person."
Huo Qingming nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Huo Qingqing suddenly thought of her eldest brother's marriage in her previous life. After a while, she asked, "Who are you asking about this for?"
In her previous life, my eldest sister-in-law was arranged by her family. They had always had a bad relationship and finally divorced after many years. My eldest brother didn't marry a nurse until he was in his forties. He lived a confused life and had a distant relationship with his family. She and Zhang Guohua seemed to be doing well on the surface, but they were completely ruined inside. Her family had never heard from her about getting married and having children in the countryside, and Zhang Guohua knew what she feared the most, so their lives were hard to describe.
"Brother?" Huo Qingqing's eyes were slightly red and her voice was soft. She looked at her eldest brother and said, "It's not easy for our family. I hope we can live a safe and happy life. If you have anything on your mind, just tell me. I will protect you like you protect me.
We support each other, big brother, please believe me! ”
