Deputy Captain Zhao knew that his wife was uneducated and stubborn, so he refused to let her learn a few more words.

He pulled her into the room and explained to her the pros and cons of what she had said today, one sentence at a time. Then he said, "You should stay at home during this period if you can."

He still wants to stay in the army.

On the other side, Director Yang returned home with clothes that had not been repaired yet, and Xiao Zhenhua was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.

"You have no idea how lively it is under the banyan tree today." Director Yang held the needle and squinted at the light while threading the needle.

Xiao Zhenhua glanced at the clock and asked, "What's the big deal? You came back so early today."

"That's not early. You even went to the office building." Director Yang looked a little angry. "Zhao Xingguo's wife is too undisciplined. She openly spoke down to the farmers and soldiers."

She explained the details and then said, "I think we still need to hold a few classes to correct the family members' discipline. It would be best to hold a literacy class to eliminate all illiteracy. If they can't recognize a few words, they will pass. Once they can recognize words, we can hold ideological classes."

Most of the wives of soldiers in the army were originally from rural areas and had not received much education. The more ignorant they are, the less they fear discipline.

Director Yang felt that this was the problem. She also understood that what Sun Ximei said today was mainly directed at Xu Mian, but the derogatory tone in her words proved that her ideological awareness was too low.

"That's right." Xiao Zhenhua nodded in agreement. "All the soldiers must learn, and the rear cannot fall behind."

Director Yang said, "Tomorrow we will go ask Xu Mian if she can be the teacher of the blindness-eliminating class."

She didn't have much contact with Xu Mian, but she had a good impression of her.

Director Yang knew the information of each family member. Xu Mian only had a junior high school education, which was considered highly educated among the family members. He was definitely more than qualified to be a teacher.

The next day, Xu Mian learned about this from someone else when she went to the fields to pick vegetables.

The troops have their own farmland and vegetable plots, as well as places to raise chickens and pigs. A plot of land is also allocated for family compounds, and each family can choose a plot to cultivate and grow their own crops.

After hearing what happened last night, she went home, got a few eggs and went to find Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang also declined, "I am not just doing this for you. I am a farmer, and my grandson is also a farmer. He started out as a soldier and was lucky enough to become a battalion commander. Look at her, she is also a farmer, she has never held a gun or been on a battlefield, why should she look down on me!"

After a night, Mrs. Wang was still very angry.

"It's just because she still has a child. I don't know why Deputy Battalion Commander Lu married such a woman."

"This is a fool, you can't take it back, you didn't do anything after all."

Mrs. Wang refused again and again, so Xu Mian Neng brought it back and fried it with some green peppers.

Biandan is actually preserved egg, but it is a little different from the common preserved egg. It is usually made from eggs, and the egg white is also bright yellow.

Xu Bing loved this dish very much. Even Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan, while asking for water, continued to eat rice with it.

Xu Mian asked Xu Bing to help find a job. She had worked as a teacher in a military school for two years, but resigned because she was pregnant and had to take care of the child.

Work in the army cannot be inherited, nor can it be passed on to others at will.

Xu Bing brought back news at noon that the army's academy was short of a math teacher, and the radio studio was also short of people. The radio studio not only required academic qualifications, but also required good Mandarin.

But the key point is that of these two jobs, priority is given to recruiting military dependents.

Xu Bing analyzed, "There aren't many people with academic qualifications in our compound. In fact, Sui Sui is still very competitive. But if there are military dependents who meet the requirements, this job opportunity will definitely be given to them. It depends on the opportunities in the radio studio. The higher the requirements, the greater the chance."

"There is another opportunity. The military hospital plans to recruit a group of nurses, but it is very hard work. There are assessments every month, and they can only be considered temporary workers."

Xu Mian was reluctant to see her sister leave and also hoped that she could have a good job.

Of the three jobs, she felt that working in the radio studio was the best.

She could hear the loudspeaker every day, talking in the morning and at noon, and she looked very relaxed.

Xu Mian: "Sui Sui, how is your Mandarin?"

Xu Sui thought for a moment and said, "It's OK. My high school classmate has a radio and brings it to school once a week to share with me. I learn Mandarin and Russian by listening to the broadcasts."

Xu Mian quickly took out a collection of quotations and asked her to read a passage.

After Xu Suinian finished reading it, Xu Mian and Xu Bing both felt it was good.

But the problem is, no matter how outstanding Xu Sui is, this job cannot be given to her unless there is someone who meets her requirements.

“Being a nurse is not only tiring, but sometimes I have to go to sea, and the job is not stable.” Xu Mian was confused.

Xu Sui tried to comfort her, "Sister, go and try it first. Recruitment hasn't started yet anyway. If you can't make it, being a nurse is also good. On the island, there are definitely more opportunities than staying in the team."

As they were discussing, there was a knock on the yard door.

Although the gate was open, Director Yang still knocked on the door, greeted and came in.

Xu Mian didn't have much contact with Director Yang, but she still admired her and hurried to prepare tea.

"Don't bother, just tell me something and I'll be leaving soon." Director Yang stopped her.

She now looked at the pretty girl standing on the eaves and exclaimed, "Such a pretty girl has come to our family compound!"

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Xu Sui also went into the house and brought out another stool. "You look really elegant. You must be an officer in our army, right?"

Director Yang sat down and said, "Yes, it is to serve our military families."

She said to Xu Mian, "I came here this time for something. We are planning to open a literacy class in our family compound to educate and assess the wives of soldiers. After they pass the assessment, we will conduct ideological classes."

"Since you only have a junior high school education, I would like you to be the teacher of this blindness class. Do you think it is convenient? I will also pay you a salary, so you won't work for nothing."

It is not an easy job to be a teacher of a blindness elimination class if there are students who pass the test. It always takes time and effort. Sometimes adults are more difficult to teach than children.

Xu Mian was a little embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to do it, but I can't pull myself away from taking care of Tuantuan and Yuanyuan."

The anti-blindness class will definitely not be completed in one or two months. Tuantuan and Yuanyuan are a little over two years old and they can’t be locked up at home every day.

"That's not something I've considered." Director Yang didn't force it.

She turned to look at Miss �, who had been sitting quietly beside her, and the more she looked, the happier she became.

She is fair and pretty, speaks freely, and most importantly, has a clear gaze.

He doesn't have any of the impetuousness that young people have.
