Chapter 561 Wu Danniu's Concerns

Yan's father spent the winter solstice with them in Lu City, and left with Yan's mother as he wished.

They left very early and Ping An An had not yet gotten up.

When they woke up, the two little ones, especially Pingping, kept looking around, but couldn't find Yan's mother, which made him a little anxious.

In the past, they always woke up in Mother Yan's bed in the morning, and she was the one who dressed them and fed them the first milk of the morning. However, today, Uncle Wu helped to do all this.

"ah!"

"Grandma is going home. Grandpa Wu will dress you and feed you later, okay?"

Pingping pursed her lips, somewhat unwillingly.

Although he likes Grandpa Wu to hug him every day, he likes Grandma more.

"Xingmin, have they finished their milk?"

Grandma Yan finished her breakfast and went into the room.

"An An has finished drinking, Ping Ping is a little unhappy."

"This little guy must be missing his grandma."

"Of course. After all, Sister Qin was doing all this in the morning. If it's me who's doing it all of a sudden, I'll be uncomfortable."

"It's okay. We'll take them out for a walk later. His mood will improve soon."

"Pingping, finish your drink quickly. Grandma will take you to play with Sister Chenchen later, okay?"

"Yeah~"

"Hurry up and finish your milk, your sister has already finished it~"

When he heard that he was going out to play, he quickly forgot that his grandmother was not there and drank up all the remaining milk in a few gulps.

After drinking it, he burped lightly.

Whether he is in a good mood or not, it has no effect on the amount of dry milk he eats. He will finish any amount you give him.

"Uncle Wu, are they still obedient this morning?"

Song Fuyu got up and went to the living room, and saw that they were already getting ready to go out for a walk.

"He was very well behaved. He was in a bad mood for a minute or two, but when he heard that we were going out to play, he calmed down again."

"Look, he's already eager to get in the stroller."

"Go wash up quickly, don't worry about us."

When Song Fuyu came out after washing his face, there was no one in the living room. Everyone had gone out.

She finished her breakfast and went out.

There is only half a month left until the Hai City Trade Fair, which is one of the two busiest times of the year for them.

Not long ago, she received another call from Hengshi Iron and Steel Plant. The new director tactfully expressed to her his desire to ask her to design the booth. Undoubtedly, she was rejected again.

She would no longer touch anything related to Hengshi Steel Plant.

The setback she suffered at the hands of Ruan Chendong was enough to make her remember it for the rest of her life.

Sometimes, just because she doesn't offend anyone doesn't mean that others won't suddenly cause you trouble for no reason. There will always be crazy people in this world.

When she arrived at the studio, Wu Danniu's expression was not very good, and she looked like she was trying hard to hide her sadness.

Song Fuyu didn't want to guess what she was thinking, so he called her to his office directly.

"Big girl, what's wrong with you today?"

"I'm fine. I'm fine."

"Come on, we've only known each other for a day or two, can't I tell you're in a bad mood? If you have something to say, just say it directly, don't keep it in your heart, you're not the kind of person who can hold things in."

"I..."

Wu Danniu choked and wiped away her tears.

"The year-end election is coming soon..."

"Old Liu is not on the list, right?"

"Um."

"I'm not sure who will be promoted, but it's confirmed that our Lao Liu is not one of them."

"He will be 38 after the New Year. He only has two years left. I know he has no chance."

Song Fuyu also understood what she said.

Lao Liu is currently the battalion commander. Forty years old is a hurdle. If he doesn't move up, he will generally retire after he is forty. There is no clear requirement, but everyone usually does so. It is a convention.

There are only two years left, and unless you make outstanding military achievements, there is really no chance.

Lao Liu is a very Buddhist person. He is not as daring and adventurous as Yan Ziyuan and Li Hu. He is more concerned about stability, which is due to his living environment.

Before, he was the only labor force in the family. He was the breadwinner of the family and had to support his wife and six children, so he could not take any risks.

He couldn't, and didn't dare.

"You don't have to move up. Can't you have a good career path if you change jobs?"

"Given Lao Liu's personality, it may not be a good thing for him to stay in the army forever."

"That's true, but once he retires, our whole family will have to leave the military compound and Lu City."

"Fu Yu, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. As long as you don't despise me, I really want to follow you for the rest of my life."

"But once Lao Liu retired, everything changed. I just couldn't bear to let him go."

"I finally got a job and had the opportunity to make money. I sent all six of my children to school. I never dared to imagine such a life before, but it came true. It really felt like a dream. As soon as we left, the dream was over."

"Is this what makes you so sad?"

"Um."

"You don't know. Old Liu himself obviously couldn't bear to leave the army. He had been in the army for so many years, and suddenly he was discharged. He would be very confused and didn't know what to do."

“Even if he is assigned a job, it is actually in his blind spot and he needs to adapt to everything.”

"He didn't want me and the child to be sad, and he comforted me instead. When I thought about him holding it in, I couldn't hold it in any longer."

"There are still more than two years left. Maybe things aren't as bad as you think."

"Old Liu has retired from the army, but it doesn't mean he has to return to his hometown. If he thinks of a way, he might be able to be assigned to Lu City."

"Your job is nothing. I won't fire you just because he retires. You can just look for a house in town like Jin Kai did. It will just be harder to commute to get off work every day, as you need to ride a bike for two hours back and forth."

"More than two years have passed, and who knows what will happen in the meantime. It's too early to worry so much now."

Song Fuyu comforted Wu Danniu. She just felt for a moment that her life was about to change, and it was difficult for her to accept and adapt psychologically. But when she figured it out, she found that many things were not as bad as she thought.

Most of these bad emotions nowadays are just scaring myself.

"If you believe me, don't think too much and just live your life as it should be."

"Okay, I believe you."
