Yun Qiao didn't expect Jiang Hua to suddenly invite him. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hand to refuse: "No, no, you guys are talking about work, it's not appropriate for me to go with you."
Jiang Hua disagreed: "There's nothing inappropriate about it. We're just having a meal together and chatting. There's nothing serious to do. Let's go together. One more person will make it more lively and the atmosphere will be more lively."
Yun Qiao still shook his head firmly: "No, no. Doctor Jiang, thank you for your kindness, but I have two children waiting for me at home. I really can't go."
Seeing her determination, Jiang Hua didn't force her anymore and said with a smile, "Well, I'll call you next time when I have the chance."
Yun Qiao responded politely.
Jiang Hua asked Gao Qian again, but Gao Qian also waved her hand and refused: "My daughter is still in the red class waiting for me to pick her up after school. Doctor Jiang, you should go by yourself."
Jiang Hua nodded: "Well, since none of you are going, I will go alone."
As soon as the working time came, Jiang Hua left the bathroom with her small leather bag.
Yun Qiao closed the bathroom window, and Gao Qian put the soles of her shaved shoes into her bag and took them with her. Then they locked the bathroom door and went home together.
When the two of them walked out of the military uniform factory, they caught a glimpse of Jiang Hua's back heading towards the military district hotel.
Seeing this, Gao Qian couldn't help but say, "Doctor Jiang is always trying to curry favor with others, but why doesn't Deputy Commander Xie do anything about it?"
"How can we, as outsiders, know about other people's family affairs?" Yun Qiao said, and remembered what Jiang Hua had said to her when she first came. She said that she and Deputy Commander Xie were not what outsiders thought, and that Deputy Commander Xie married her just to help her out of danger.
It is hard to say whether these words are true or false, but Jiang Hua has been in the family compound for two years, and her relationship with Deputy Commander Xie does not seem like that of a couple. They are polite but also distant. If they are a fake couple, it makes sense.
Perhaps because of this, Jiang Hua couldn't wait to build his own network, curry favor with others, and make friends with leaders from all walks of life.
Yun Qiao gently nudged Gao Qian's arm and whispered, "Come on, Miss Gao, let's stop gossiping about her behind her back. Maybe she's just having a normal relationship."
Gao Qian curled her lips. "What's normal communication? She's been in the bathroom for over two years, and she's never really focused on treating patients. Every day she's either treating this leader to dinner or giving gifts to that leader. I've never seen a woman more scheming than her. Her ambition to climb the social ladder is written all over her face. If she had some truth to her story, I wouldn't have such a strong opinion of her."
Yun Qiao didn't say anything.
Gao Qian couldn't help but say, "Yun Qiao, you're not willing to accept this. Your medical skills are obviously better than hers, but she took your position as a doctor by relying on her connections."
Yun Qiao shook her head and said softly, "Sister Gao, it's been a long time since that happened. I've let it go, and you should be more open-minded too. Actually, being a nurse is pretty easy. You don't have to worry about anything, and you don't have to take any responsibility. I just dispense whatever medicine the doctor prescribes for the patient. It's incredibly relaxing, and I'm quite content with my current situation."
It was already 1975. Two years from now, news of the resumption of the college entrance examination would spread through the radio and newspapers. By then, a larger and broader platform would be presented to her, waiting for her to pursue. Why, at this critical juncture, would she be fighting so fiercely over a mere three acres of land?
To be honest, it's quite boring.
If you have time, you might as well read a few more books, do a few more math problems, improve your overall score, and get into a good school.
Gao Qian didn't know what Yun Qiao was thinking. She snorted and said, "Yun Qiao, you're just too stubborn. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to swallow this."
Yun Qiao smiled and didn't respond.
Gao Qian changed the subject upon seeing this and talked about the children at home, and then the two of them chatted about family matters all the way to the staff quarters.
After leaving Hutong No. 2, Yun Qiao went to Hutong No. 9 at the back to pick up the child.
Feng Juan now lives in the east wing of Qin Zheng's house with Yuanyuan. Yun Qiaoqi has to go to work every day, so before going to work, he sends He Yi to No. 9 Hutong to let Feng Juan take care of him, and then picks him up after get off work.
He Yan and Qin Lang are four years old and three and a half years old respectively, and are both old enough to attend the Yuhong class.
The Yuhong class is located in the staff housing compound. They provide lunch at noon and the children eat and take a nap at school. We send the children there in the morning and pick them up in the evening.
However, the environment of the family compound is very safe. There are guards standing at the gate, and children cannot easily run away. Therefore, basically no parents will go out to pick up their children in the morning or pick them up from school in the evening. The children just go there holding hands and following the older children. This not only exercises the children's self-care ability, but also saves parents a lot of trouble.
Feng Juan no longer has to worry about the two older children, He Yan and Qin Lang. She only needs to take care of He Yi and Qin Shuo. With Yuanyuan helping her, it is quite easy for her.
After giving birth to two sons in a row, Yan Jingwan no longer had any hope of having a daughter, so after giving birth to her second child, she stopped having children and did not plan to have any more.
Feng Juan is a kind person and gets along with Yan Jingwan like an elder and a sister. Yan Jingwan trusts her completely, so after her maternity leave, she leaves the child in Feng Juan's care and returns to the workplace to work hard.
She was ambitious and resourceful, and after demonstrating her abilities, she quickly earned the recognition of her superiors, and within just a year, she was promoted to a junior leader. However, her workload also increased, and overtime was common.
Everyone in the Qin family is sensible. The only feudal old-fashioned Qin Lin is still far away in the capital, so no one has told Yan Jingwan yet that women should not work so hard and should focus on their families, or ask her to put down her work and spend more time with her children.
The Yuhong class finished school early. As Yun Qiao walked into the alley, he heard the voices of He Yan and Qin Lang reciting poems in the yard. They were reciting Li Qi's "Ancient Moon Song".
When I was young, I didn’t know the moon and called it a jade plate.
I also suspected it was the mirror of Yaotai, flying in the blue sky.
The two children seemed to be competing, each one reciting louder than the other and shouting at the top of their lungs. Yun Qiao could hear them clearly from a distance.
When I hurried to the door, the two children had just finished reciting the entire poem and started arguing with each other.
Qin Lang: "I'm fast at reciting! I'm number one!"
He Yan: "I recited it correctly! You even recited the word 'yi' correctly. You are not speaking clearly. You should correct me!"
The two little guys were arguing with each other until they were red in the face and almost got into a fight.
He Yan was the first to see Yun Qiao. He shouted "Mom" and rushed to her, asking her to judge who was the first place.
"Mom, mom, tell me, who carried the child between me and Qin Lang?"
Qin Lang also ran over and asked Yun Qiao to be fair.
Yun Qiao was shaken by the two children pulling his sleeves, and he felt dizzy.
"You two, recite it again. I came in late and didn't hear the whole thing. How can I judge for you?" Yun Qiao said, "So you two, recite it again. I'll listen carefully."
