Zhou Pan came out after finishing his meal and handed Shi Liu a small bag of things: "I forgot to give you this just now."
When the pomegranate was opened, it was full of diamonds. He was shocked and asked, "Where did you get these?"
Zhou Pan fiddled with it twice and said, "This mission is located in a mining area, which is rich in pink diamonds. I thought you would like these things, so I collected some. Don't worry, those who came with me are all my confidants, and they also got some."
Pomegranate rolled his eyes and said, "You guys didn't go to the Rift Valley, did you? That's where there are the most diamond mines."
Zhou Pan snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "Smart! Zhou Fangxing, that guy also got a lot, and he even planned to buy a diamond ring for your cousin."
Shi Liu pursed her lips. "Originally, their wedding should have been set quite soon, but Zhou Fangxing has been away on missions, and the wedding has been postponed again and again. Some gossipy women in the village have been making up stories all day long. It's a good thing that Sister Juanzi trusted Zhou Fangxing, otherwise this wedding would have been canceled."
Zhou Pan's eyes darkened as he spoke earnestly, "Being a military wife isn't easy. If you choose to be one, you need to learn to face these challenges. Frankly, people with poor mental health aren't suitable for being military wives. After all, we're exposed to the elements all day long, and you never know what could go wrong. How can we survive without someone to help out at home?"
When this matter was mentioned, Shi Liu's mood began to become depressed. It seemed that something had happened to someone during Zhou Pan's mission.
"Don't worry, although the people in my team were seriously injured, it's not fatal. They just can't stay in the army in the future."
The soldiers in Zhou Pan's team are all good talents. As long as nothing unexpected happens, each of them will have a bright future. Unfortunately, every mission requires blood and sweat, and who can guarantee that nothing will go wrong?
Shi Liu felt relieved upon hearing this and asked curiously, "Is he transferring to his hometown?"
Zhou Pan paused, then said with regret, "He's not high enough rank, so he can only go home and farm. However, I will try my best to find a way to get him a position as a team leader in the production team."
He knew his soldiers well, and they were not smooth talkers. If they were really assigned to work in the city, he might not be able to adapt. It just so happened that the team leader of the other production team was old and it was time for him to retire.
Shi Liu didn't think there was anything wrong with it: "Staying in the village these days is not necessarily a bad thing. The team leader has quite a lot of power, and my uncle lives a pretty comfortable life." Of course, his uncle was often annoyed by the villagers and educated youth under him.
Zhou Pan also thought so. If he wanted to promote the people below him, he could just wait until the situation became clear. To put it bluntly, by then, he could live a very comfortable life by just starting some business.
"Do you have an exam coming up soon? Do you need me to take some time off to accompany you?"
Shi Liu looked at Zhou Pan with amusement: "My mother also said the same thing this time. Originally, this is the second time, and I was not nervous at all. But after hearing what my mother said, I am nervous now. Please stop worrying about me. There is no need to make me nervous."
Zhou Pan was just saying it casually; he couldn't possibly ask for leave. "I have confidence in you. Although the acceptance rate for the first Gaokao was very low, that's because there were so many people who just sat there to make up the numbers. After all, everyone had neglected their studies before. From the time we learned about the resumption of the Gaokao until the time we took the exam, there was only half a year, and it was impossible to resume our studies."
Shi Liu: "Those educated youth really wanted to return to the city. Many with only a junior high school education also signed up for the college entrance examination."
Zhou Pan wasn't surprised at all. "Is there anyone in your village who married an educated youth? From what I know, many educated youth divorced in order to take the college entrance examination. Many families were forced to fall apart, and it was really ugly."
Shi Liu shook her head. "No one in our village has married an educated youth. My uncle had discussed the issue of marrying an educated youth with the villagers before, and the men in the village were quite obedient. Plus, the educated youth in Baijia Village were always causing trouble, so the villagers were afraid of them."
"No, there is someone in our village who actually got married. That Shizhu married Liu Qianqian!"
"The reason I came here was because the original owner had his head smashed by Liu Qianqian and the stone pillar!"
Because of this incident, Shi Liu always treated these two people as air and almost forgot about them as a couple.
"I forgot to ask my mother what's going on with these two. From what I know about Liu Qianqian, she definitely wants to divorce and return to the city. However, Shizhu is not a pushover either. I'm sure she'll make a fool of herself in the future."
Zhou Pan's face turned ugly. When he thought of Shi Liu bleeding profusely, he wanted to kill the two of them. Liu Qianqian, this woman, actually wanted to go to college. She was dreaming!
"Do you have any sequelae to your headache now? The human brain is very complicated. I should have taken you to the hospital the last time you came here."
Seeing Zhou Pan's worried look, Shi Liu quickly explained, "I had already agreed with the judge that no matter what kind of injury the original owner suffered, he would help him recover. If you don't believe me, just look at me. I don't even have a scar on my head."
Zhou Pan took a closer look and found that there was indeed no scar. The wound was so big that it could have taken the life of the original owner. But now there was not even a scar at all. The cunning judge had done something humane. Or it might be the credit of his father-in-law. After all, he saw that the judge was quite flattering to his father-in-law.
Seeing Zhou Pan's relieved expression, Shi Liu smiled and said, "I don't know how the old man is doing now. He has always regretted raising a daughter, claiming that he would worry about her all his life. After I'm gone, the old man might even raise a son."
Zhou Pan thought of his father-in-law's words before he left. He suddenly felt that the two of them were indeed father and daughter, as they both mentioned this: "Father-in-law told you not to worry. He worked so hard to raise you, and it's not easy now. He doesn't want to suffer any more. The retirement support is yours, don't try to hide it."
Shi Liu's mouth twitched when she heard this. She knew these were the old man's exact words. But could they really go back? Why couldn't she remember what happened in the first place?
Zhou Pan held Shi Liu in his arms and said, "Don't worry, we can definitely get back. Besides, the speed of time flows differently on both sides. Maybe a hundred years here will only take a month or two over there."
If the old man wasn't mentioned, Shi Liu could force herself not to think about him, but once he was mentioned, she found that she had actually never forgotten the old man, but she had just deliberately forgotten him before.
"Although the old man is often unreliable, he's still quite reliable when it comes to serious matters." Shi Liu thought of her biological father in this life. "Dad Shi is also a scoundrel! Ever since he learned that burning incense for some soldiers would increase merit, he's been constantly helping to make connections. He doesn't even consider how capable his daughter is."
When Zhou Pan thought of the lingering incense in the space, the corners of his mouth twitched. His father-in-law in both his lives were quite treacherous.
