As soon as Huang Yuelan walked down the hill, she saw the postman coming towards her school.
There were a lot of things on the bicycle and the slope was quite steep, so it was quite difficult to push it.
Huang Yuelan hurried over, got behind the postman's bicycle and pushed it hard.
"I'll help you push it!" Huang Yuelan said.
The postman looked at Huang Yuelan from behind the bicycle and said, "No need to push it!"
Huang Yuelan looked at the postman with curiosity.
Postman: "I can just give you the letter and stuff directly, why do you bother pushing it up there?"
When Huang Yuelan heard that there was a letter for her, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Finally, there's my letter!" Her tone was filled with unconcealable joy; the flowers she had been longing for were almost withering.
The postman smiled and said, "Not only is there a letter, but there are also a lot of other things sent this time."
When the children in the primary school on the mountain saw the postman rummaging through something for their mother, they immediately knew that it was the letters and snacks that their father had sent back.
A large group of them, big and small, ran towards the postman at the foot of the mountain.
Only Huang Yueqiang, Huang Yuehu and three babies were left in the school dormitory.
Seeing Aiguo and the others coming down, Huang Yuelan smiled. Although there were a lot of things, there were also many people, so there was no worry about not being able to carry them all.
Wang Jianguo sent back a big bag of things, which included snacks, school supplies and other things. It was hard for one person to carry it.
Huang Yuelan untied the bag and gave one to each of her sons, which made things much easier.
"Having more children is good. They come in handy at critical moments." said the postman after seeing this.
Huang Yuelan smiled.
The dam at the foot of the mountain is full of fertile fields and the terrain is relatively flat, but it rains a lot here, so in order to prevent mudslides, the school was built on the mountain.
Huang Yuelan’s home was previously located halfway up the mountain, but now it is much better, as they can climb directly up the mountain. The postman has to work harder than before, as he gets a headache every time he sees Huang Yuelan’s letter. Fortunately, it only happens once a month.
As soon as she got home, Huang Yuelan tore open the envelope and took out the remittance slip and letter.
Huang Yuelan just glanced at the remittance slip and found that the amount of money remitted this time was much more than last time.
She was still worried that she might have seen it wrong, so she looked carefully a second time and found that she was indeed not mistaken. The money was indeed a lot more than before, almost double!
I clearly bought more snacks than usual, so how can I get so much money back?
Huang Yuelan felt deeply curious and couldn't help but wonder in her heart: Did he get promoted again?
If this was true, Huang Yuelan knew that Wang Jianguo would definitely tell her in the letter.
He shook out the letter paper, read two lines at a time, and quickly finished reading Wang Jianguo's letter.
Sure enough, just as Huang Yuelan had guessed, Wang Jianguo was promoted again.
He is no longer Platoon Leader Wang, but Regiment Commander Wang!
Although it was a happy occasion, Huang Yuelan felt that something was not right.
Although she has never been a soldier, she still has some understanding of the military ranks.
Above the platoon leader is the company commander, above the company commander is the battalion commander, and above the battalion commander is the regiment commander.
How did he become the regiment commander, bypassing the company commander and battalion commander?
Could this be the legendary extraordinary promotion?
Only this situation makes sense, otherwise he would not have kept it a secret from himself after becoming a company commander and battalion commander.
Thinking of this, Huang Yuelan felt even more proud of Wang Jianguo.
There are cases of exceptional promotion, but the opportunities are quite rare.
As far as he knew, even if he picked one out of a million, he might not be able to get the job.
One's own qualities must be excellent, of course including qualities in all aspects, physical fitness, political quality, etc. In addition, one's military skills must be very strong, such as winning the championship in a major competition, or winning first-class merit.
Huang Yuelan thought that it was a peaceful time and he had not heard of any war. This year, the weather was good and he did not participate in disaster relief. Therefore, his chances of winning the first-class merit were very small.
Could it be that he was far ahead in the military competition and was highly appreciated by his leaders, so he was promoted out of turn?
Although it was the grand slam of the entire commune's martial arts competition before, it was only their commune, and it was limited to the militia. Most of them were half-baked and many of them did not have real skills. So the government troops were nothing in the army.
But after joining the army, if you can still get the Grand Slam in front of so many masters, that would be amazing.
Because she didn't know how Wang Jianguo could accomplish his mission, Huang Yuelan just sat there and wondered.
Wang Jianguo was afraid that Huang Yuelan would worry about his safety, so he did not tell her about the conflict on the border.
One was a secret, and she felt it would be dangerous to tell the other. It would only add to her worries and would do no good.
Huang Yuelan, who was unaware of the inside story, looked at Wang Jianguo's remittance slip and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you still smiling?" Wang Aimin looked at his mother from the side and saw that she was acting very strangely, staring at the remittance slip and laughing from time to time.
He had never seen A Niang in this condition before, only when he saw Shan Ni at the entrance of the village.
When Shanni was a child, her brain was damaged by a fever, so she often laughed unconsciously.
Huang Yuelan: "It's okay, it's okay. Mom is just happy. Your father got promoted again!"
Upon hearing what A'niang said, Huang Yueqiang and his brother and Aiguo and others immediately ran over and gathered around to read A'niang's letter.
"Sister, let me take a look!" Huang Yueqiang took the letter and looked at it carefully.
"Mom, what kind of official position has my father become now? I know he used to be a platoon leader." Wang Aihua said.
Huang Yuelan: "Your father is now the head of the group, and he was promoted out of turn."
Wang Aiguo and his friends were still young and didn't understand what these official titles represented, but Huang Yueqiang and his friends knew it very well.
"My brother-in-law is so awesome that he was promoted out of turn!"
Hearing their uncles’ exclamations, Wang Aiguo and the others also knew that their father was indeed very capable.
"Mom, how much more does Dad earn a month now than before?"
Wang Jianguo had already written it clearly in the letter just now, because he knew that his wife loved money very much. Huang Yuelan told the children: "Your father used to make 63 yuan a month, but now he makes 127 yuan a month, which is twice as much as before."
In their village, a laborer could only earn about a hundred yuan after working hard for a whole year, but Wang Jianguo could earn as much in one month as others could in a year.
Wang Jianguo earns more money in a whole year than any other family.
"More than a hundred yuan?! Oh my God, our family will be rich from now on!" Wang Aimin exclaimed happily.
Wang Aihua: "Mom, then can we buy a lot of good food in the future? After all, Dad makes so much money."
"Dad has sent us so much money, why are we still spending it indiscriminately?" Wang Aiguo knows how to live and is usually very good at saving money.
Huang Yuelan: "Although your father's salary has increased, you must not tell anyone outside. You should tell others that we are very poor. Do you understand?"
"Mother, I understand. You can't show off your wealth. You have to pretend to be poor."
But there's no need to pretend. After all, their family is very poor. Just don't spread the word that they're rich.
Their family's life is only slightly better than those who rely solely on farming.
Huang Yuelan took out a small portion of the milk powder and snacks for the children that Wang Jianguo had sent back, and locked the rest in the cabinet and ate them slowly.
We can’t let them finish all of them in one go. After all, there are still thirty days before the snacks are sent back next month.
After packing up everything, Huang Yuelan asked her two younger brothers to help look after the children for a while while she prepared to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.
The kids' dad got a promotion and a raise, so we have to celebrate it properly.
When she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Huang Yuelan gritted her teeth, bought a few pounds of meat, and then bought a bottle of soy sauce.
We have potatoes that we grow ourselves at home, so we can use them to make a meat dish for the children to satisfy their cravings.
Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu would come back on weekends. They were in the first grade of junior high school now and would take the high school entrance exam in a year.
If you can get into high school, the college entrance examination will be relaxed in a few years.
Huang Yuelan was thinking about letting both of her two younger brothers go to college. After all, college students at that time were very popular. Before they even graduated, many good companies and enterprises would go to the school to recruit people, so they would not have to worry about not finding a job.
But Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu have their own ideas. They also want to return to the village to teach.
One reason is that they think being a teacher is a very good profession, and the other reason is that they feel there is a shortage of teachers in schools and they hope to alleviate the problem of children in the village having difficulty going to school.
"How are you doing in school?" Huang Yuelan asked while flipping the food in the pot.
Because the middle schools are in the town, they can only come back once a week. I am afraid that they might encounter something in school and dare not tell anyone when they come back. Especially now that they are in adolescence, I have to pay attention to their mental health issues at all times.
"Sister, we are doing well in school. Our classmates and teachers are all very nice to us." Huang Yueqiang replied.
"That's good. You must study hard in school and get along well with your classmates and teachers. Don't bully your classmates." Huang Yuelan knew that they would not be bullied by others. After all, they were taller and most people could not beat them.
She was afraid that the two brothers would become bad guys during adolescence and bully other students.
"Sister, we have already corrected our bad habits. Why are you bullying me?"
They haven't fought for many years since they followed their sister.
Not only that, they are also liked and admired by many classmates, and have become the prince charming in the eyes of many girls in the school.
Huang Yueqiang was even elected as the school idol and became everyone's idol.
Whether in academic performance or appearance, she is the best in the school. In addition, she often helps students in need, so she has won unanimous praise from everyone.
