Just then, He Jiale walked up dejectedly, and Yao Tongxu quickly stood up and put her arm around his neck: "Have you seen anyone?"
He nodded mechanically: "I saw him, but it would have been better if I hadn't. He said that his kindness towards me was just a ploy to kill me, that I stole his position, and that he wished I were dead!"
At this point, He Jiale's tears welled up: "I've always considered him my brother, really considered him my brother, just like my sister, but how could he say that?"
"Besides, I am my father's son. How can you say that I stole his position?"
Waaah... He Jiale's sobs reached downstairs. He Jiayin and He Junnan, a married couple, stood on the first floor holding hands, listening to He Jiale's cries!
He Jiayin buried her head in her husband's arms with tears in her eyes: "I told you I wouldn't take him, but you all said you had to take him so he could grow up. I'd rather he never grow up!"
Jun Nanzhu embraced his wife: "People have to grow up. We often have to fly abroad, and there are always dangers. If he doesn't grow up, what will happen to him if we can't come back one day?"
These words left He Jiayin speechless. With the country in a weak position, these diplomats had to walk on thin ice. It was a small matter if they brought disaster upon themselves, but they were afraid of causing trouble for the country!
She didn't say anything more. As Lele's crying gradually subsided under Yao Tongxu's comforting words, they tidied themselves up and went upstairs.
Upon seeing a middle-aged soldier there, Jun Nanzhu quickly walked over and extended his hand: "You must be Uncle Ruan, right? I'm He Jiale's brother-in-law, Jun Nanzhu!"
Ruan Shengpeng also stood up: "So you're Jun Nanzhu. I heard you were invincible throughout the Beijing Military Region. Why did you retire?"
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs needs fresh blood, and Jiayin and I can only fill that gap. Besides, we are both active-duty soldiers and haven't retired yet!"
Ruan Shengpeng immediately understood that this person was gaining experience in various departments and would definitely achieve great things in the future!
But he really is capable: "Is this person also from the military?"
"This is my wife, He Jiayin, who is also He Jiale's older sister. I was invincible among the male soldiers, while she was the champion among the female soldiers!"
Yao Tongjia's eyes immediately lit up: "Sister Jiayin, I didn't know you were so amazing! Could you teach me a few moves sometime?"
He Jiayin sat down and shook her head: "Lele, Azhu, and I were all thrown into the military camp and grew up when we were young. You are different from us. No matter how much you train, you will never reach our level!"
Ruan Shengpeng looked at his two children with some regret. Both of his children had been delayed by him and had never been able to participate in military training!
Yao Tongxu jumped up: "Lele is amazing too?"
"Yes, Lele used to be very skilled, but she developed an irregular heartbeat and stopped training much. She's been off training for two or three years, so her skills have probably declined!"
"Why didn't you fight back when your uncle hit you that day?" Yao Tongxu was a little confused. That day was so dangerous; he thought he was powerless.
What happened that day?
"Your uncle took a brick and was about to hit him on the head, but he just stood there dumbfounded!"
Yao Tongxu's words left He Jiayin speechless for a long time as she pointed at He Jiale. What could Jun Nanzhu do?
I could only change the subject: "Back then, your sister Jiayin had a lot of female fans among the female soldiers!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Gengwu quickly asked, "Sister Jiayin, do you know any retired female soldiers? I want to find a bodyguard for Tongtong! It would be even better if she could cook, as Aunt Yao is going to join the army!"
He Jiayin laughed when she heard this: "Your requirements are quite high. You want someone to protect people and also be able to cook."
Jun Nanzhu coughed: "Yinyin, isn't there a very good candidate?"
He Jiayin couldn't remember for a moment: "Who is it?"
As soon as she said it, He Jiayin remembered: "Oh right! Yesterday we met Asang, who was a perfect candidate!"
She turned to Xiao Gengwu and said, "But not only does she have a big appetite, she's also a very picky eater. She's a great cook, so do you really want her?"
"How good is her hand skill?" Yao Tongjia asked, crowding around.
"She was very good at martial arts. She joined the army because of her stutter, and she retired because she disliked the food in the army canteen. After retiring, she worked as a bodyguard."
"I saw her yesterday; she had just fired her last employer!"
Why fire someone?
"Her employer withheld her food and said she ate too much, so she got angry and quit!"
Everyone: "......"
Yao Yanxin asked worriedly, "What's her temper like? Is she good?"
What if he has a bad temper and beats up all of them?
"Don't worry, Auntie. She has a very good temper. After all, she's a former soldier. She's very self-controlled and won't do anything reckless! If you're going to treat her to meals, you'll need to double your budget."
"As for salary, 50 yuan a month is fine. It's okay if she can guard the door downstairs for you. She doesn't care about where she lives!"
"Can we ask her to take a look? 50 yuan a month is no problem. We can let her handle all the kitchen work. As long as she can get food, we'll cover all the expenses!"
Xiao Gengwu felt that spending more money on food was fine! Besides, people who love food are usually quite simple-minded, and it's good to have a simple person by Tongtong's side!
"Then I'll go upstairs and make a call, and ask her to come here for an interview tomorrow. Oh! By the way, her name is Qin Sang."
The next morning, Qin Sang arrived, riding a bicycle with a bag on her back.
A schoolbag that would be common in later generations, but in a situation where people carry fertilizer bags when they go out, this bag looks very fashionable!
She was wearing a military uniform, and unlike girls of the time, she didn't wear two braids. Instead, she wore her hair up high in a ponytail, a style that would become popular in later generations.
Yao Tongjia couldn't help but wonder if Qin Sang was also from the future, because her outfit was quite outstanding by today's standards!
However, Yao Tongjia thought the same thing. Even if she came from the future, she didn't plan to acknowledge her. She had no good memories of the future.
After knocking on the door, Qin Sang went straight to the second floor: "You want to hire me as a bodyguard, do you know my requirements?"
Yao Tongjia nodded: "You can buy whatever food you want, and we'll give you money for food. It's just that none of us are very good at cooking. If you'd like to cook, you can cook for us too."
"Of course, if you don't want to eat at the cafeteria, that's fine too! The food we get for you is also from the cafeteria. If you want to stay, you can stay downstairs!"
"I eat a lot in one meal, probably more than three or four of you combined! Did you know that?"
