Zhou Yue's letter was not long, and there were many things he could not state directly, relying entirely on the experience and speculation of people after drinking a little wine.
Because he didn't say much, she was able to sense his grievances and repression, and even see his regret.
His promising future was ruined just like that; no wonder he couldn't accept it.
In particular, he was selected as a fighter pilot based on his own abilities. After two years of special training, he was very likely to become a wing pilot. But now, because of two bullet holes, his entire future has been ruined.
The precious darlings of the aviation academy, children who practically grew up in a honey pot, before they even began to spread their wings and take flight, ... had their wings broken and could no longer fly?
Who can accept this?
It goes without saying how difficult it is to train a college student in this day and age, let alone the fact that he himself is an air force veteran.
Making him start all over again is like rubbing salt into his wounds.
However, if he can't even get past this hurdle, then his military career is over.
Just by looking at the two paths mentioned in the letter, Xiao Jiu knew that he had probably rejected many other possibilities.
He just can't fly fighter jets, which doesn't mean he can't fly other types of aircraft. He could even switch to other subjects at the academy, such as aerospace, air defense and missile defense, air traffic control, or equipment management.
He's only 21 years old, not very old, so even if he starts learning from scratch, it's still not too late.
I never expected that the words "Special Operations Brigade" would appear in the two-option selection!
It seems he has already decided to follow the same path as Zhou Xing and Niu Feng, relying on his own abilities to forge his own path.
Holding the letter, Xiao Jiu didn't know how to comfort him or what advice to give him.
After all, she had a pretty good idea of what his future was going to be like.
She doesn't plan to send him any more letters until she arrives at her new workplace.
I'll just wait for him to contact me first!
As the college entrance examination approaches, there are more and more things to do at school. Not to mention the mock exams, there is also the re-examination of the physical examination. The initial examination was completed in December last year, and the re-examination began in mid-to-late March.
Xiao Jiu's demanding academic life meant she had absolutely no time to go home.
After much persuasion, he finally returned to his hometown a month after leaving home, and coincidentally ran into his third sister, Tang Cuilian, who was resting at home.
"I've been working for a month and they only gave me five days off. Today is the fourth day, and I have to head south again tomorrow."
Seeing that Tang Cuilian was in good spirits and her skin was fair and rosy, Xiao Jiu couldn't help but be happy for her.
"It seems my third sister is adapting well to her new job!"
"Well, it's alright. As a flight attendant, I have to be on the train. Holidays are my busiest time, so we all take time off in lieu of a day off."
I've learned a lot this past month, and I've also realized that every profession needs to be cultured.
Fortunately, I have a lot of free time outside of work, and my company has even set up a study group, so I'm quite motivated now.
"Attending classes every day is so much better than working in the factory. This job not only lets me appreciate the beauty of our country but also broadens my horizons and expands my knowledge. I really love it. Xiao Jiu, thank you so much! Without you, I wouldn't have been able to switch jobs!"
"Sis, where have you been?"
"I've been to Shancheng and Wushi more often, but this time I heard we're going to Jishi in Shandong Province."
Oh, and I also brought Grandpa and Grandma some dragon and phoenix cakes, rice candy, fried dough twists, and Bright Dairy tea!
The older sisters were either at school or at work, and on their rare days off, only Tang Cuilian was at home.
She would often go to the Tao family home to help the elderly couple cook meals and do laundry. She said it was to rest, but actually it was just to sit with her family and connect with them.
It was a pity that I didn't see her during the Spring Festival. When I came back from my vacation this time, I saw Xiaojiu and Cuilian thoughtfully left her a gift.
When Xiao Jiu saw the mock exam papers for the second year of high school in Wushi and Shancheng, she was both amused and exasperated.
"Sis, you're amazing! How did you manage to get this?"
"There are so many staff members on this railway line, from every county and city. Every train has staff members who change shifts at each stop. Over time, once you get to know them, it's not difficult to pay them a little money to help you copy an exam paper. You can practice with these six papers first. When I get to Shandong Province, I'll find you some more. Study hard, and when you get into university, I can benefit from your success!"
Xiao Jiu was deeply moved and gave Tang Cuilian a loving hug: "Third Sister, you are so kind."
"We're like sisters, why be so polite? Isn't this what we should do? Besides, we've already found you the fifth and sixth sisters. Don't worry, take it easy. If it doesn't work out this year, we'll try again next year. We'll definitely get into our desired major!"
What Xiaojiu admires most is the spirit of unity and solidarity among these sisters!
If everyone were indigenous people, there might not have been such a united scene. It is because everyone understands the trajectory of history, understands their own past and present, and wants to serve this family, and wants to help all the sisters change their mindset, take a step away from the original path, and establish a new household, that they were able to achieve this.
None of them, despite having special talents, became arrogant or complacent. Instead, they all lived humbly and actively helped their sisters.
Of course, there is another possibility: they are all unmarried and do not have their own families, so all their energy and resources are currently invested in their sisters. Once they each start their own families and careers, they may have their own little thoughts about each other, which is quite normal.
It wouldn't be surprising if a scene that could happen in any family were to appear in the Tang sisters' lives someday.
The advantage lies in the fact that Tang Cuimei, Xiaojiu, and Cuihong, who are all well-off, are generous people and will certainly not abandon their sisters in the future.
On the other hand, as long as their jobs are arranged properly before the turmoil, and everyone's lives are stabilized, their lives will not change much in the next ten years. With their support, they will be able to live a good life.
Find a good partner with a job so that both parents can work and each has their own childcare center. Even if no one is available to take care of the child, they can still manage.
This is the sense of happiness in this era: having enough to eat, drink, and wear is the pinnacle of life.
Simple and pure.
Before leaving, Xiao Jiu secretly left a lot of canned meat, milk powder, soy milk powder and other nutritional supplements for the old man and woman.
"Grandpa, do you remember what I told you? After you finish eating these packages, find a place to hide them. When I come back, give them to me and I'll find a place to destroy them. See the words on this?"
These are all spoils of war captured from the Japanese. They are valuable items, and we can't just throw them away because the Japanese are bad, can we?
"I went to great lengths to get these, they're all in good condition, not spoiled. Usually, I prepare meat for you guys, but it has a strong smell, and the neighbors are watching, so it's not appropriate. This is better; after opening, you can just heat it up a little and it's ready to eat. The milk powder and soy powder can be mixed directly with boiling water, it smells wonderful!"
