The country really wasted a lot of talent in the past few years and was far behind in education.

The exchanges at the end of the year are dominated by young people who come to learn, but today's young people, let alone having studied abroad, have mostly learned Russian as a foreign language and have hardly had any contact with other minor languages.

When going out to communicate, the language barrier must be overcome, otherwise how can we learn? Not to mention that they also have to work hard to get some of the things that others hide!

Director Han thought that Yi Qingqing, this unexpected young man, might be of great use, so he told her: "Keep the fact that you can speak so many languages ​​a secret for now, and just tell others that you can speak English. When you go to communicate, remember to listen and watch more!"

Yi Qingqing nodded with a smile: "I understand!"

She understands and will definitely not let the director down!

--

The tasks on the list have been completed, and Yi Qingqing's work is still very busy, but at least she doesn't have to work overtime too much.

Li Mengxue and the others said that they had something to talk to her about and she missed her sisters very much, so she took a day off and invited them to her house for dinner in the evening.

After she got off work, she and Yun Guyuan started preparing early.

At the dinner table, the five golden flowers, along with their families, came, making a total of ten people, filling the entire table.

"Qingqing, as soon as you graduated, you became a busy person. People rarely see you. I missed you so much that I almost went crazy!" Li Mengxue complained.

"I can't help it. I'm too busy with work." Yi Qingqing picked up a dish for her with chopsticks and said, "Eat it quickly. I know you guys are craving it!"

"Qingqing, although what you are doing is beneficial to the country and the people, you should also take care of your health!" Wang Lingling reminded.

Thinking back to the beginning, Qingqing was a person who paid much attention to health preservation. However, after graduation and starting work, she had to work overtime every day. In Mengxue's words, she was so tired that she was like a dog, even worse than an animal. She was called a social animal in short.

"Don't worry, I'm in good health!" Yi Qingqing eats a big pill every week, and her body is fine no matter how hard she tries: "Don't forget that I'm a Chinese medicine doctor! I see that you look a little tired, I'll take your pulse after dinner."

Others: “…”

As expected, I can’t tell doctors about my health, especially Chinese medicine doctors. Didn’t Comrade Yun Guyuan say anything? Because he can’t tell at all.

"By the way, is everything okay in the store? What is the important thing you said you wanted to tell me?" Yi Qingqing asked.

She had been so busy with the golden book over the past year that she hadn't even opened it, so now she really knew nothing.

The other four golden flowers looked at each other, and finally Comrade Li Mengxue spoke up: "Qingqing, didn't we all go home for the New Year?"

Yi Qingqing nodded.

"Then we were urged to get married. Indeed, we are not young anymore. We plan to get married in the second half of this year. Didn't we say before that we would have a group wedding? When do you have time this year? Let's get married together!" said Li Mengxue.

Yi Qingqing: "..."

She forgot about it.

Yes, Mengxue, Lailai, Lingling are all born in the same year as Ayuan, and will be 27 this year. Sister Duoduo, Chen Zhihe, and Li Aimin are one year older than Ayuan, and will be 28 this year. Xie Shiyan is even older, and will be 29 this year.

Comrade Gao is eight years older than Mengxue and is 35 years old this year.

She really can't wait any longer. Her sisters are not like her. They have been eating meatballs and are in very good physical condition. If they were any older, they would suffer during childbirth.

The reason she could ask Ayuan to wait for her was because neither she nor Ayuan were ordinary people. She had Maru and Ayuan was a ghost. Age was not a big problem for them, but it was not the case for the sisters.

But she couldn't bear to give up the group wedding, she wanted to get married with her sisters.

But she did not have any holidays this year because she had to prepare for next year's exchange. She did not have a single day off. Not only was she the only one who did not have any holidays, but all the people in the institute who were selected to go on the exchange did not have any holidays.

Do I need to ask for leave? How can I ask the director to approve it?

While she was hesitating, Li Mengxue said, "Okay, don't worry about it. We actually knew a long time ago that you couldn't spare the time. You will be going abroad at the end of the year. If you get married this year, it will be too tragic to separate right after the wedding. Besides, you and Comrade Yun are younger, so it won't be too late to get married after you come back! But we may not be able to wait, so we have to get married first. When you get married the year after next, our children will be your flower girls!"

Yi Qingqing: o(╥﹏╥)o

Their collective wedding!

It would have been fine if she couldn't hold a group wedding, but she had a heart attack when she thought that she might be so busy that she wouldn't even be able to fully participate in her sisters' weddings.

"No, I'll go and ask our leader if he can give me a few days off. Even if I don't have time to get married, I will still attend your wedding!" Yi Qingqing said.

"Okay, then we'll wait for your news! If it doesn't work out, don't be sad. When you get married, your four kids will be your flower girls. How cool will that be!" Qian Lailai was still comforting her.

"Oh, who would have thought that I would be so busy right after entering the research institute?" Yi Qingqing glanced at Comrade Yun. When would she be able to get her hands on such a handsome man!

After seeing off her sisters that night, she stayed up all night under the light and wrote two large characters. One of them was the same as the previous one, and she gave it to Senior Chen. He was afraid that he didn't keep the one he gave him before, as he liked it very much.

The other one was used by her to ask for leave.

The next day, she brought some things to the institute and blocked the director in his office early: "Director, have you eaten? I brought you some homemade cakes."

Director Han glanced at her and said, "I've eaten."

"Then save it for you to eat when you are hungry. I put it here for you." Yi Qingqing said and took out another scroll: "Director, I was in high spirits yesterday. I feel grateful for your concern and education, so I wrote a piece of calligraphy and gave it to you."

"Just tell me if you have anything to say!" Director Han felt scared when he saw her smiling face!

"Then I'll tell you," Yi Qingqing rubbed her hands, "Look, can you give me ten days or half a month's leave so I can get married?"

She felt that asking for leave was based on the same principle as bargaining. If she set her bottom line lower, she would have a greater chance of success.

In fact, she was thinking that if she could take two to three days off, she would get married. Two or three days was not enough. Even if she hugged Director Han's legs and begged him today, she would take at least half a day off to watch her sisters' wedding.

Director Han blew his beard and glared at me when he heard this: "Nonsense! You are going abroad at the end of the year. Time is so important now. If you learn more now, you will gain more knowledge after going abroad and it will be easier for you to find problems. Especially you. The institute has high hopes for you. Why do you still want to take leave at this critical moment?"
