Chapter 93 I plan to apply for transfer and return to my hometown
When Wu's mother saw Commander Tan coming, she wiped her nose and rushed over to hug Commander Tan's legs, "Hey, leader, your wife is bullying the country people..."
Commander Tan: “…”
For a moment, he really felt that this division commander was like the director of the Women's Federation.
"Aunt Wu, I already know about your family's affairs. Let's be frank. Xu Ting is indeed at fault. How about this? We will pay for Shi Bing's medical expenses, and we will make up for her wages during her rest period. Do you think this is okay?"
Mother Wu's eyes lit up: "How much?"
Shi Bing will have to stay in bed for a month this time!
"How about giving you thirty dollars?"
Shi Bing had been in the art troupe of the neighboring city for many years. After transferring to the military region, his monthly salary was 36 yuan. Shi Bing's rest period was sick leave, and the army provided subsidies, so 30 yuan was more than enough.
Wu's mother immediately patted her buttocks and stood up, holding the hand of Division Commander Tan and shaking it: "I said that such a large army would not bully us orphans and widows. Thank you, leader. Thirty yuan is thirty yuan. It doesn't matter if I suffer a little loss."
Commander Tan's mouth twitched, and he quickly retracted his hand and asked his wife Xu Mei to get the money.
When Xu Mei went back to get the money, she poked Xu Ting who was hiding in the house: "Next time you cause trouble, you'll go back to Ningcheng!"
Xu Ting was obviously unconvinced, but she didn't dare to implicate her aunt any further. She kicked the broom in the corner hard and then returned to her room.
Chen Tang was chewing on some pork jerky and was being pulled back by He Xu.
The pork jerky was sent by Shen's mother. There was a shortage of supplies in Huangbei, and the good things were dried or frozen for winter. This bit of pork jerky was saved by Shen's mother.
Seeing that she liked it, He Xu went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the military district to ask if they had it for sale. Of course, they didn't. It happened that plums were in season, so he bought some plums. They were so sour that they made your teeth fall out, but only Chen Tang, who was pregnant, ate them with relish.
On the way, he happened to meet Captain Jiang who was driving back. Chen Tang took a glance and saw the child from last time. He saw that his clothes had been changed into a small cotton jacket, his dull hair was combed neatly, and there was a noticeable smile on his face, so he waved and greeted him.
The child was carried to the ground, and he ran to Chen Tang with his little legs and stopped: "Sister, thank you for helping me give the letter to my father."
Chen Tang touched his head and smiled gently: "You're welcome. Will you come back to Dajiang Village in the future?"
The child shook his head, his eyes dimmed: "I don't know either."
He was also afraid that his father would send him back to his hometown. After all, his younger brother and stepmother were in his hometown, and he was alone in the army. His grandparents and stepmother would definitely have objections.
But he also felt that it would not happen, because when his father went back, he happened to see his stepmother beating him, and he was hospitalized for a few days before being taken to the army.
Chen Tang took out a few candies from his pocket, squatted down and put them in his palm: "This time, you must take them well and don't give them back to me again."
Xiao Jiangnan touched the warm candy, her eyes reddened: "Thank you, sister."
Captain Jiang came over and heard their conversation and replied, "I plan to foster Xiaonan in the military family compound, but I haven't found anyone willing to foster him yet, so I can only ask our battalion commander to take care of him first. Captain He, thank you so much for this time. If it weren't for you, I would have almost never seen this child."
He Xu glanced at the boy indifferently, and the child lowered his head with an unnatural expression.
He raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's okay, we'll leave first."
Captain Jiang then lowered his head, looking down at the child who was only less than his thigh with a bad look on his face: "I will find a family to foster you. You must be obedient. If you make any trouble again, I will send you back to the countryside!"
Jiangnan's eyelashes trembled, and he said timidly and cautiously: "I will be obedient, Dad."
After returning home, Chen Tang touched her bulging belly, her aqua autumn eyes gently reflecting the man who was taking off her shoes: "I never asked you, do you want a boy or a girl?"
He Xu pinched her chubby feet and said, "Boy or girl, it doesn't matter. We gave birth to a pretty baby, so the child will definitely not be too bad."
Chen Tang: "I was thinking, if something happens to me one day..."
"Stop talking!" He Xu felt flustered when he heard her words and interrupted her quickly.
Chen Tang smiled, hugged his neck and acted coquettishly: "I'm just imagining it, anyway, you are not allowed to do this to my baby."
"You are not allowed to even think about it." He Xu's brows twisted into a "川" shape: "Our family must be in good order."
Chen Tang relaxed her brows and smiled softly. Just as she was about to say "OK", her stomach was suddenly kicked. She touched her stomach in surprise: "Did he move?"
He Xu followed suit and didn't move for a long time: "Stingy guy, you don't move when your dad touches you."
Chen Tang covered his mouth and laughed secretly: "He moved, should we start prenatal education?"
He Xu: "What is prenatal education?"
Chen Tang: "Just read to him on weekdays. I heard that once he gets used to it, he will be smarter when he comes out."
He Xu looked at the baby who didn't like to talk to him, and nodded seriously: "That's right, although I don't like studying, education cannot be neglected. Starting from the belly, I will definitely surpass other children."
The child in the belly: "..."
This father can't be kept anymore.
Chen Tang couldn't help laughing: "Good or bad, your own children are your own, how can you compare with other people's children? Prenatal education is also to hope that he can develop in a good direction. If you really don't like studying, then just find another way."
He Xu curved his lips and said, "Okay, whatever you say, I'll go cook for you."
The next day, Captain Wu found out that Wu's mother had asked Commander Tan for money.
Because of this, Wu's mother across the street started throwing a tantrum again. The people nearby were annoyed by her loud voice and immediately reported it to Xu Mei.
Xu Mei had just taken out thirty yuan and was already feeling depressed. When she heard the Wu family's neighbor complaining, she started to mock him.
His words implied that Captain Wu should take good care of his mother.
Captain Wu was extremely tired.
Finally, he looked at Wu's mother and cried, "Mom, I plan to apply for a transfer and return to my hometown."
Mother Wu stopped crying instantly.
Although the family compound is close to the big city, people here look down on her.
It’s good to transfer back to the countryside. Although the money is a little less, her son can take care of her at home and there is no danger. How great!
Captain Wu coaxed her into submission and returned the thirty yuan to Commander Tan.
Although he said he wanted to retire, he was reluctant to leave the army in his heart, so he never took any action and just coaxed Wu's mother.
Shi Bing, who had just returned from the hospital, heard what he said and was so anxious that he pulled him aside and asked, "Do you really want to change your career?"
Captain Wu's attitude towards Shi Bing became much colder: "Don't you want to go back to my hometown with me?"
"The education in the countryside is no match for that in the city. Look at Xiaohe, his grades are already poor. If he goes back to his hometown, his grades will be even worse.
Another thing is, I don’t want our children to lag too far behind others.”
Shi Bing explained gently on the surface, but cursed in her heart, who would want to change jobs and go home with him? If she knew he was going to change jobs, she would never have planned to marry him!
Captain Wu listened to her words with a thoughtful look in his eyes, but did not answer whether he wanted to change his career.
