The couple looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads.
Yi Yalan had always been disrespectful in front of her grandfather, and she looked at the big house in amazement.
Half jokingly, half teasingly, he said, "Grandpa, your house is way too big. There are regulations in the army about this, right? Don't be careless and exceed the regulations, or you'll lose your dignity in your later years... Ouch!"
The old man knocked her on the head, put on a stern face, and pretended to be angry.
"What are you talking about, little girl? Don't underestimate my awareness. Everything is in compliance with the standard regulations." The old man glanced around the house and continued, "You little heartless person, I'm doing this for you. Now, since you plan to follow me as a military doctor, I'll give you an introduction to the corresponding ranks and salary standards. This military doctor, starting from the trainee..."
Old man Qi spoke carefully, and Qi Yalan blinked her bright eyes and listened very attentively.
She finally understood that military doctors now start as interns, and the ranks go up through junior military doctors, intermediate military doctors, senior military doctors, and special military doctors.
As for intern military doctors, they are treated the same as ordinary soldiers. There is no limit on their number and they all live in dormitories.
Junior military doctors are treated the same as company commanders, with no limit on their number of personnel, and they live in military dormitories.
A mid-level military doctor is treated just like a battalion commander and is allocated a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment in a family compound that can accommodate up to 10 people.
Senior military doctors enjoy the treatment of regimental commanders and can be allocated a three-bedroom, one-living-room family quarters, accommodating up to five people.
A special-grade military doctor, like my grandfather, would be treated like a division commander and would be assigned a four-bedroom, one-living-room family compound with only three people in total.
After hearing the last part, Yi Yalan was filled with anticipation. "Grandpa is amazing. I want to learn from you and strive to become a top-grade military doctor like you in the future."
Old Master Qi laughed heartily. "You are so ambitious. You are worthy of being my great granddaughter. You must work hard and do your best."
"I will, Grandpa. I promise not to embarrass you."
"My dear child, grandpa is waiting for you to earn my respect."
While the grandfather and grandson were talking, the father-in-law and the daughter-in-law had already started packing up the house. Since they planned to stay for a while, the three of them brought quite a lot of things with them, including large and small bags of clothes and daily necessities, which took them a lot of time to put in order.
After working simply for most of the day, the family gathered together for a simple meal. During the chat, the old man was dissatisfied with his son and daughter-in-law.
"What are you two planning to do in the future? My son, who is so good at doing things, has been laid off. It's so embarrassing to tell anyone about it. He has no future!"
He was already unhappy that his son had not inherited his interest and ambition in medicine since childhood, and now he was laid off.
The father's face suddenly turned red, and the child's face also turned red with embarrassment, feeling as if sitting on pins and needles.
She knew that Mr. Qi was not targeting her, but she still couldn't stand hearing it.
My father didn't say anything for a while. My daughter just said, "Dad, we plan to do some small business in the future."
However, Xiao Yalan didn't want to embarrass her parents, nor did she want the old man to misunderstand her. She knew that her parents were not going to tell the truth, so she told the truth herself.
"Grandpa, that's not true." Qi Yalan said, "Mom and Dad took the initiative to resign in order to leave the quota for someone else."
The father wanted to stop him, but when he heard this, he hurriedly said, "Xiao Lan!"
But she pulled her husband aside and said, "Forget it. Just let Dad know."
The old man narrowed his eyes, his expression serious and his eyes stern: "What's wrong?"
The old man has always been strict with his family except for his granddaughter.
The father was used to it, so when his father asked him questions, he just told the truth.
"The factory is not performing well. Not only will a number of workers be laid off, but our leadership team will also need to be streamlined.
"Old Guo and his wife have five children. Their eldest son, who is an adult, is serving in the army, and they have elderly parents who are in poor health. So I spoke to the factory management and said Sujuan and I were willing to voluntarily resign so that Old Guo and his family could continue working at the factory and at least make a living."
"So that's how it is." Old man Yu then realized that he had misunderstood his son and daughter-in-law, and his expression gradually softened.
