The two older sisters didn't give Xiaojiu a chance to feel sorry for them before they pulled the cart away first, which was empty, of course.
As soon as the Hu family left, Xiao Jiu was stored in the space. Her two older sisters asked her to sit down, but she didn't. Instead, she obediently followed behind them.
The return journey was a bit boring, so the two sisters started reciting Tang poems and would occasionally ask Xiaojiu a question or two.
"We did well on our final exams this time. Our teacher said that next semester we can try to learn from the third graders and ask them questions if we don't understand something, so that we can graduate from elementary school as soon as possible."
Cuifeng also told Xiaojiu that she would be taking over Fourth Sister's job before May Day.
"That's great, Seventh Sister. This job opportunity is indeed very rare. What's the point of studying if not to have a good future?"
With a promising future already in front of you, finding a way to balance your studies is the right choice, and you made the right decision.
Cuilan quickly added, "I will pay more attention in class from now on. You can do your homework and tests with me, and I'll take them to the teacher to grade them. We'll give the teacher some gifts when school starts."
Xiao Jiu felt that this was indeed within the scope of consideration.
“I have a new fountain pen here that costs less than three yuan. You can take it and give it to him later.”
Since I gave her a fountain pen, I should at least treat her well.
"Huh? Those people in front look kind of familiar."
Cui Feng and Cui Lan looked up and couldn't help but glare at her.
"Aren't those your eldest and second eldest brothers and Zhou Yue? Don't they look familiar?"
"Why did the three of them come back together this year?"
These three people graduated from university last June, but because of their outstanding performance, they were not directly assigned to a unit. Instead, they were all recommended to Xishi for two more years of further study.
The brothers Tao Zui and Tao Ran entered Northwestern Polytechnical University at the same time to conduct in-depth research in mechanical and electrical engineering and aerospace engineering, which is what is known in later generations as a postgraduate degree.
Zhou Yue went to Xishi Aviation Academy for further study in flight technology. He also needed to learn maintenance and troubleshooting skills. This was his own application, and it was approved by Harbin Military Engineering Institute.
Xiao Jiu had no idea that the three brothers had already graduated from university and had been studying in Xishi for half a year, so she found it strange that the three of them came back together.
The first thing he said after catching up was, "Brothers, why are all the letters I wrote to you being returned?"
It's been over half a year, why can't I get in touch with you?
The older brothers turned around when they heard Xiao Jiu's voice and were also surprised: "Where have you all been?"
After greeting the three of them, Cui Feng and Cui Lan quickly explained.
"The New Year is coming soon, let's go to town and try our luck to see if we can buy something cheap and affordable."
Tao Zui glanced at the empty cart and quickly went over to take it: "Here, let me pull it."
The other two also put their luggage in the car, and even pulled their three daughters up with them.
"Sit still!" The three of them sat down, with Tao Zui pulling them along and the other two pushing them from the left and right.
It's just like siblings; it's so natural for them to talk like that. It wasn't until now that I remembered to reply to Xiaojiu.
"We graduated and then transferred to Xishi to continue our studies for two years. We will be assigned jobs gradually after two years. Right now, there are a lot of things to do and some training courses. I haven't had time to tell you yet. Things are not stable yet. Communication will be restored after the New Year."
Xiao Jiu looked at them in surprise: "Oh my god, is our family going to flock to the West Market? Brother Niu Feng has been transferred there too!"
Zhou Yue saw that Xiao Jiu had loosened her scarf, so he tied it back for her.
"Actually, it's not just Xishi; my brother was also transferred to Shijiazhuang in Hebei Province, which is much closer to Beijing."
"Is your school that busy? Why is the holiday only starting now?"
"Since I was close by, I wasn't in a hurry to go back. I first dropped off my classmates who lived far away at the train station, and then spent a few more days in the library."
"So you guys planned this out beforehand?"
"Yes, we always went together when buying the train tickets."
"It's good to be close by. If I can get into military medical university next year, I can go to Xishi too."
This was the first time Xiao Jiu had clearly stated that they wanted to go to military medical university, so even Tao Zui, who was pulling the cart in front, turned to look at her.
"Decided to apply to the military medical university? The one in Xishi?"
Xiao Jiu nodded, "Yes, it's been decided. Judging from the results of each simulation so far, barring any major problems, we should be able to pass."
Tao Ran was delighted to hear this, "That's great! We're all together again."
But girl, do you know anything about military academies? Do you know what going to military academy means?
Xiao Jiu pouted: "I know, it's just temporary freedom, you guys tell me."
"Then why are you still going?" In their eyes, this girl has never been one to suffer losses or hardship since she was a child.
Even military doctors undergo physical training. Can someone this small withstand it?
“Go ahead,” she said, “the more members of her family are in the military, the safer their background and everything else will be.”
Her earnest expression piqued Zhou Yue's curiosity.
"Why did you choose military medicine? Your fifth sister is also studying medicine at the Capital University. I thought you would go to her."
"Military academies are great. The classmates around you are all screened by the state, so they are safe, reliable, and guaranteed. The benefits in the military are good, and the job assignments in the future are also good." Most importantly, the military camp is probably the only temporary haven in the turbulent years to come.
She's not old enough to be a pilot yet, nor is she tall enough, so it would be easier and more convenient for her to work as a military doctor for a few more years and then submit her application internally.
"But being a soldier isn't easy. Military doctors are soldiers too. Obeying orders is their duty. They go wherever the difficulties are. Are you mentally prepared for that?"
Then her brothers explained to her in detail the responsibilities of military doctors in various branches of the armed forces.
Their purpose was obvious: to scare away this arrogant little girl.
"Serving in the army is never just talk. What are you doing, a delicate little girl like you, getting involved?"
"Me, being delicate? Alright, brothers, stop talking. My mind is made up."
Even if I'm assigned to Xinjiang Province in the future, I still want to experience what it's like to live in a dugout!
It's alright. Our country is so big, how many people study medicine?
We study medicine so hard so that those soldiers can suffer less.
Which soldier doesn't have a spirit of dedication? If you were afraid of this and that from the beginning, why did you choose to attend military academy?
Zhou Yue looked at her helplessly: "A good man should protect his country and fight on the front lines. You're just a girl."
"Are there female soldiers in the military camp? If there are female soldiers, then there must be female doctors. At this time, let's not talk about the difference between men and women."
I am not the parasitic flower that you have nurtured; I want to be a cactus in the desert.
It can bloom and grow thorns, and in times of crisis, it can squeeze out sap to save lives.
Listen to that, isn't it amazing?
We're all the same; from the moment we chose this path, we never considered the meaning of regret!
