Lin Shan was pushed and shoved by a group of people, watching his lunch box getting farther and farther away from him.
He struggled and shouted, "Leave some for me!"
He usually gets along well with his men and they all love to joke around.
When the lunch box returned to Lin Shan's hands, only three lonely leek boxes were left.
The soldiers ate the chive dumplings one by one and enjoyed them very much.
"Comrade Lin's cooking skills are really good."
The others nodded in agreement.
"Captain, do you have any unmarried sisters at home?"
Lin Shan's guard came up to him and asked.
Lin Shan glanced at him and said, "No, I only have one sister. Don't even think about it."
Everyone hung their heads in regret.
"Captain Gu is so lucky to have such delicious meals every day."
If a simple dish like chive dumplings can be made so delicious, then other dishes should be easy to make.
Lin Shan said proudly, "Alright, boys, go to bed quickly. We've already eaten, and we'll be ready to get up early for training tomorrow."
How excited I was just now, how listless I am now.
Suddenly, a mournful voice was heard in the room.
-
After sending out this month's drawings, Lin Jingshu had more time to do what she likes.
The system has not released any new tasks. Her daily life is to walk the dog, feed the chickens, and go fishing when she has nothing to do.
She and Mrs. Su are together, and they are the best partners for going to the beach.
"Aunt, I'm here."
Ji Nian came in first, and Su Hongping followed with dumplings.
In her hand was the simple sketch Lin Jingshu had given her, which was densely packed with pencil drawings with no blank spaces.
"I made some eggplant dumplings today and sent some to you to try."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Ji Nian held up the drawing in front of Lin Jingshu. With a pair of watery eyes, he said, "Aunt, is my drawing good-looking?"
"nice!"
At the beginning, Jinian couldn't even pick up the paintbrush, and he drew a crooked line tremblingly.
Now he can draw a straight line completely, which is a great progress. Lin Jingshu gave him a thumbs up and praised him.
Ji Jian's face flushed with joy.
"This child was drawing at home. When he heard I was coming to see you, he immediately followed me."
With the drawings given by Lin Jingshu, I spend half an hour to an hour every day sitting at my desk to draw.
This is rare for a child of this age.
Ji Xin was also affected. After school every day, he would finish his homework before going out to play.
It’s not like before, when I had to follow behind him and learn from him.
"Sister-in-law, isn't it time for Ji Nian to go to school?"
Su Hongping nodded and said, "She's not very old. She won't be four until winter. Her father and I plan to send her to the Yuhong class for one or two years."
The military district has a special red education class for young children. Some parents work and can send their children there without worrying about anything. They just need to pay for their meals every day and remember to pick up their children after school.
"Mom, I like going to school."
Jinian has heard from his friends in the compound that studying in the Yuhong class is very interesting. The teacher plays games with them every day, and there are many delicious foods during meals.
Although she likes being at home with her mother, she also longs for life outside.
Su Hongping patted her head and said, "Mom and Dad will send you to school in the fall."
Ji Jian's eyes curved with joy.
"Sister-in-law Su is here."
Gu Chengze came in from outside and greeted Su Hongping.
Su Hongping smiled back.
"Jingshu, there's a letter for you. It seems to be from the newspaper."
In front of outsiders, Gu Chengze was embarrassed to directly call Lin Jingshu his wife.
This kind of intimate relationship should only be done behind closed doors.
Lin Jingshu opened the letter and found it was indeed sent by the newspaper. Her drawings could not even occupy the front page of the newspaper.
Even so, I am satisfied with occupying a corner of it, and I will definitely be able to move forward in the future.
"Aunt, did you draw this?"
Ji Nian stood aside curiously, looking at the many colorful words on the newspaper. She didn't recognize them, but she saw her aunt's painting.
"right."
"Let me see."
Although Su Hongping knew that Lin Jingshu was a good painter, she didn't know that she had submitted articles to the newspaper.
“Really.”
She slid her fingers lightly across the newspaper, which read:
Author: Lin Jingshu.
"Jingshu, you're amazing! You're actually in the newspaper. It's such a great thing! Let those people gossip about you."
"What's going on?"
Lin Jingshu felt like she was trapped in a vicious circle of gossip, with one piece of gossip after another.
"It's Zhang Sufen and her group who have nothing better to do than gossip about you, saying that even though you're a high school student, you still can't find a job. It's shameful."
Lin Jingshu said helplessly: "Don't they have anything to do every day?"
Su Hongping spread her hands and said, "It's just that I have nothing to do. The three daughters take care of all the housework at home, so she doesn't have to cook. Every time Damao comes home from school and passes by the cafeteria, he brings food home."
Lin Jingshu frowned. She had seen Zhou Damao before. His hair was slightly yellow and he looked a little malnourished. His hair was often tied into two small braids.
"Then her man doesn't care?"
Su Hongping sighed, "If you say birds of a feather flock together, this couple is the same kind of people. They think their daughter is not ambitious and are lucky enough to be able to take care of her food and drink. As for other things, there is no chance."
"Director Gong from the Women's Federation went to persuade them several times, but they were just shameless and refused to listen. They said they didn't beat their daughters or starve them, and that compared to those children who didn't have enough food or clothes, their lives were good. Director Gong had no idea what to do."
The older generation of parents believe that as long as their children have enough food to eat and are not starving, they have fulfilled their parental responsibilities. They don’t care about their children’s academic performance, mental health, or even their physical condition.
Some parents even consider going to the hospital for check-up as a taboo and won’t even mention it.
As a parent, Su Hongping felt a little sorry for Zhou Damao. He was only in his teens, the same age as Ji Xin, but he was much more sensible than Ji Xin.
Su Hongping looked at the vivid paintings in the newspaper and suddenly said, "If you want to find a job, you can ask Director Gong. She will definitely have a suitable one."
She continued, "Generally speaking, military wives who come to the island will report to Director Gong to leave a good impression so that they can find a better job when they are looking for one."
There are few suitable jobs in the family compound, so there are more wolves than meat.
Those who have technical skills but no academic qualifications will be assigned to help in logistics, while those with academic qualifications will be assigned to teach in schools or sell goods in supply and marketing cooperatives.
The other party would definitely be willing to hire someone like Lin Jingshu, who has both academic qualifications and technical skills.
Lin Jingshu has been thinking about finding a job recently, mainly because she has been idle at home except for painting and writing manuscripts for the newspaper, which makes her a bit bored.
If there is a suitable part-time job, she would be 100% willing to go.
There's no need to rush this kind of thing, just let it happen naturally. Anyway, just do the work at hand first.
