"Once or twice a week, can you afford two pieces of meat at a time?" Feng Juan's eyes were filled with pain that was about to burst out.
She held Yun Qiao's thin wrist and said distressedly: "No wonder you are so thin, your wrist is so thin that I can hold it in one hand. How can you get fat if you eat such useless food every day?"
"Everyone goes to the countryside like this," Yun Qiao consoled Feng Juan, "The educated youth went to the countryside to support the frontiers and work, not to enjoy themselves. Just get used to it."
Yun Qiao could get used to it, but Feng Juan couldn't.
Feng Juan had been separated from Yun Qiao for eighteen years. She finally found her daughter and wanted to give her the best things in the world. She couldn't bear to see Yun Qiao suffer like this.
Still have to accompany.
You must accompany me! You can’t not accompany me!
At night, Yun Qiao and Feng Juan slept on a kang with their feet touching, their heads leaning against each other, and talked for a long time until their eyelids became so heavy that they could not lift them up, and then they fell asleep contentedly.
On the other side, when Qin Zheng drove Yuanyuan and Aunt Feng back to the family compound, it was already completely dark.
On the first day of living in the family compound, it was empty. Although He Tingjun had asked someone to clean the bathroom in advance, few of the male soldiers knew how to live. Although the house was cleaned on the surface, there was still dust in the corners.
If people want to move in, they have to spend a lot of time and effort to clean it up carefully.
He Tingjun was attentive. Knowing that they were coming back today, he came over as soon as he got off work to light the kang in the house in advance. When Qin Zheng brought people back, the cold in the house had been dispelled by the heat, and the room temperature gradually rose.
He went to the bathroom to get some hot water and helped Qin Zheng clean the bathroom.
I left the living room alone for now, focusing on cleaning out the bedroom where the grandparents and grandchildren would rest. The bed was dusty, so I couldn't put the bedding on it directly. I had to wipe it with a damp towel first. I also had to wipe the windowsill and wardrobe so I could put my luggage away.
During this time, Qin Zheng's guard Xiao Lin went to the cafeteria to get some food and brought it over. They took the time to have dinner and then continued cleaning.
By the time the bedroom was cleaned to a livable state, it was already late at night.
He Tingjun didn't stay any longer. He put down the rag and went back to the dormitory.
Only one bedroom was available in the three-bedroom apartment he had just applied for. Qin Zheng arranged for Aunt Feng and Yuanyuan to sleep there, and he went back to his original single dormitory to spend the night.
On the way back to the dormitory, Qin Zheng took a detour to the duty communications room, wrote an application and made a long-distance call.
Long-distance calls require manual transfer by the operator, and Qin Zheng spent more than half an hour just waiting for the call to be connected.
He called Qin Lin's office, and as expected, the call went through smoothly.
Hearing Qin Lin's voice on the phone, Qin Zheng raised his lip. "I was right. For someone like you who takes work as your priority, calling your office is a sure thing. Luckily, I didn't call home, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get through even if I waited until tomorrow morning."
Qin Lin ignored Qin Zheng's sarcastic tone and asked directly, "Have you arrived in Songjiang?"
Qin Zheng said 'hmm'.
Qin Lin was silent for a moment, and when he spoke, his tone seemed a little hesitant: "Well, then, have you seen your sister today?"
"I saw it." Qin Zheng only said three words. The answer was too brief, which made Qin Lin very dissatisfied.
"And what else? What does your sister look like? Is she doing well?"
"What does she look like?" Qin Zheng snorted and said perfunctorily, "Of course she looks very beautiful."
After saying that, he changed the subject, "As for whether she's living well or not? You have to compare it to who you're comparing it with."
"Compared to the children in the orphanage who were living in constant danger, she was doing pretty well. She went to school, though she only graduated from junior high school. She had food to eat. After all, educated youth at the Beidahuang Farm were barely considered regular employees, earning a first-class national salary, which was over 30 yuan a month."
"But compared to the girls in the compound, they are much worse."
"Let's not talk about other families, just take Uncle Shen's youngest daughter who lives next door. Uncle Shen's rank is one level lower than yours, but his daughter went to college and was assigned to a newspaper after graduation. She's now a reporter for the Beijing News. Not to mention her salary, just her social status alone is far superior to that of the educated youth on the farm."
"Besides, where is the capital, and where is Songjiang?"
"This place is called the Great Northern Wilderness!"
"Do you know how cold this place is in the winter? It's 30 or 40 degrees Celsius below zero. If you walk outside at night, your ears will freeze off. She's come here, do you think she can live well?"
Qin Lin was speechless after being questioned by Qin Zheng with several questions.
He opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be blocked by cotton and no sound came out.
After a long time, he finally found his voice and said sullenly, "You can't be like this. I've been to Songjiang and I know how cold it is. I also know the hardships of the Great Northern Wilderness. She's my daughter, and I feel bad for her too."
Qin Zheng doesn't buy Qin Lin's tricks.
Play the emotional card?
Is it worthy of a father who doesn’t even take a day off for work?
He snorted and laughed, "Don't say this nonsense. Old Qin, if you really love your daughter, why don't you think of a way to transfer her to the capital."
Qin Lin choked. "Qin Zheng, do you think your father is some all-powerful person? Jobs in Beijing are easy to come by, right? Can I transfer to a new position whenever I want? How could I possibly have that ability?"
Qin Zheng: "Whether you have this ability or not depends entirely on whether you have this idea. As long as you have this idea, you will have this ability."
"You overestimate me." Qin Lin said with a wry smile, "I'm just a railway official. I can't control the job transfers of educated youth..."
"Don't say you can't do it." Qin Zheng interrupted Qin Lin when he heard this.
His voice suddenly rose, and he reminded Qin Lin in a cold tone: "Don't forget, the reason my sister was stolen by the bandit woman was because of you! They wanted revenge on you! My sister is purely because of you! She could have found someone better. You owe her this! You must do it!"
