There were too many things to buy, so Song's mother took Wang Shuning back on her bike to drop off the things before going to a state-owned restaurant for dinner.
Crispy duck is the signature dish. Even though it is expensive, it is always sold out at mealtime. Fortunately, they came early today and there were still several ducks hanging on the shelf.
Song's mother picked the fattest one, thinking that even if the two of them couldn't finish it, they could take it back and have it as a side dish for dinner.
"I heard from Xiuzhen that you saw Ji Shaoguo at the Public Security Bureau. What did he look like? When do you plan to meet him?"
The duck meat is firm, and the crispy skin is covered with lots of chili powder. "Even though I heard others call him Captain Ji, I'm not sure he is Ji Shaoguo. Maybe they have the same surname."
Song's mother didn't think so. "There are very few people with the same surname and occupation. It's very likely that they are the same person. You will be returning to Jinshan Island in half a month. Meet that person as soon as possible. If that doesn't work, I'll find another one for you."
He swallowed the chewed duck meat in his mouth, thought for a moment and replied, "All right, I have no objection."
Song's mother nodded, "Then the day after tomorrow. Mom will wash and dry the skirt you are wearing tomorrow, so you can wear it to your blind date the day after tomorrow."
Wang Shuning pursed her lips and did not respond.
At night she came to the space and found three small sprouts emerging from the place where the ginseng seeds were planted, and white-brown plants growing on the dead tree roots.
It worked.
It took so many days for the plants to germinate, which means that the seven-day maturity period of space plants is not suitable for growing foreign plants. Now we have to see how fast they grow. Will they be faster than outside?
On the day of the blind date with Ji Shaoguo, Wang Shuning did not wear that skirt.
She is dressed so beautifully, what if she succeeds?
The blind date location was only 500 meters away from the Public Security Bureau where Ji Shaoguo was.
It was the same person I saw at the Public Security Bureau that day.
When the other party saw Wang Shuning, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes, "I saw you at the bureau two days ago."
Wang Shuning nodded very naturally, not intending to hide it, "Yes, it was that Gu Ranlong. I was on a blind date with him the other day."
Ji Shaoguo did not continue the topic, but said: "What do you want to eat? I'll go order it. The meatball soup here is good."
"I'm fine with anything. It's up to you." It seems that he is not a stingy person.
When Ji Shao came back from the window after ordering, he said, "I'm back from the island during summer vacation. Which blind date am I on your list?"
Wang Shuning raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, and told the truth: "The third one."
Ji Shaoguo: "You didn't like the first two?"
Wang Shuning nodded.
Ji Shaoguo: "There is a seven-year age difference between us, do you mind?" To him, Wang Shuning's age was actually a little young.
Wang Shuning: "I kind of mind it, otherwise I wouldn't put you at the back."
The other person is arrogant and cannot stand being looked down upon, so it is best to get angry and leave immediately.
In fact, Wang Shuning can completely accept an age difference of less than ten years, as long as he doesn't look old. Humans are sensory animals, and appearance is a very important factor in looking for a mate.
Ji Shaoguo was indeed a little surprised. This girl was a little too honest and not very good at speaking.
He immediately changed the subject, "My mother said that you still have to stay on Jinshan Island for two years, then go to D City to be a teacher, and wait for your mother to retire before coming back to take over? Why not do it earlier, can't you just apply for retirement due to illness?"
It seems that the other party still minds the four-year separation. Wang Shuning: "I have an older sister. She didn't go to the countryside when she graduated from high school. If my mother applies for medical retirement now, it will have a bad impact."
Ji Shaoguo's hand kept shaking the teacup on the table. "I heard that you once assisted the troops in Jinshan Island and made meritorious contributions, and you almost lost your life?"
The news of Wang Shuning's resurrection spread widely. Those who lived far away from the South City Compound only heard half a sentence and were not clear about the specific circumstances.
"Yes, the cenotaph has been built."
Ji Shaoguo dropped his hands under the table. "Four years of separation is too long. Both Jinshan Island and City D are too far from Beijing."
Wang Shuning stood up with a smile, "If you mind, forget it. I also think it's not good for a couple to live apart."
Ji Shaoguo was a little dumbfounded when he saw Wang Shuning was so straightforward. He raised his hand and asked someone to sit down. "I haven't finished speaking yet. Separation is not good, but it is not unsolvable."
Wang Shuning's eyes flickered. What did he mean? He hesitated for two seconds before sitting down.
Ji Shaoguo explained: "My family's intention is to wait until we get married and then directly let you serve as a female soldier in the army around Beijing. With your two meritorious service and my father's connections in the army, this will be easy to do."
Wang Shuning's eyebrows twitched. There were already two soldiers in their family who had retired, and now they wanted their future daughter-in-law to join the army. Was she addicted to being a soldier?
Seeing Wang Shuning didn't say anything, Ji Shaoguo continued: "Being a female soldier is much better than being a teacher on the island or returning to the city to take over your mother's class. My family is also a military family. I hope my future wife has also been in the army. People who have served in the army are different. They will be looked up to wherever they go."
If it weren't for his knee injury, he would have stayed in the army until retirement.
Now he is the captain of the Public Security Bureau. Although the job is stable and close to home, he has only seven or eight people under him, and there is also an unmotivated Wen Mingguo who is on the same level as him. This makes the always arrogant Ji Shaoguo feel unhappy.
Moreover, the family had connections in the army, but they had nowhere to use them, which made Ji Shaoguo's father feel uneasy.
When Aunt Hai introduced Wang Shuning to a blind date, Ji's father had already been thinking of letting his future daughter-in-law join the army as a female soldier. With his own connections and the two certificates of merit, Wang Shuning would be promoted faster than other female soldiers.
This is very beneficial to the Ji family, and they have to consider the future of their children and grandchildren.
Wang Shuning's eyes fell on the table. If the girl sitting here today was not himself, others would surely agree eagerly. Unfortunately, it was not what he wanted.
The military discipline in the army is strict and there is no freedom of movement. Even female soldiers have to exercise, and being a soldier has never been in their plans.
Moreover, if one joins the army just to be looked up to by others, the people's soldiers will not be supported and admired by the people.
Ji Shaoguo's remarks sounded too official, and Wang Shuning not only disliked them, but also felt a little disgusted with them.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to be a female soldier."
Ji Shaoguo frowned instantly and said seriously: "You should know that it is not easy to be a female soldier. Many people want to beg for it but cannot."
Wang Shuning was dissatisfied. He looked as if he had made a big mistake. "If I wanted to be a female soldier, the leaders of the troops on the island could recommend me. I am really not interested in joining the army."
Ji Shaoguo leaned back and looked Wang Shuning up and down again, "I thought you were the kind of person who strives to get ahead like me, but I didn't expect you to be content with the status quo."
Wang Shining sarcastically said, "There are 360 ​​professions, and being a soldier is not the only career path that can lead to success."
Ji Shaoguo's voice became more serious. "What can you do now to get into the army with a high position and good benefits? You clearly have these conditions but you don't climb up. This is called not seeking progress."
Wang Shuning couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "I think the two of us are very incompatible. That's it for today. We don't need to meet again in the future."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Ji Shaoguo did not reach out to stop her.
He thought that Wang Shuning had no good manners, was totally unworthy of him, and had no right to enter his house.
