Chen Yuefei frowned. "Jiang Yuan is still an illegal resident. He has no household registration or anything. Where would he stay if he were sent to Beijing? If you live at home, my mother is here. Can we let him come?"
Jiang Jun bit his lip hard and said, "I'm going back to the equipment department's dormitory!"
Chen Yuefei shook his head: "Then you leave him alone at home while you're at work? My brother isn't here..."
It would be more convenient to leave Jiang Yuan in the border defense company. There were basically no outsiders in their company. Jiang Yuan had food and shelter. They all slept on kangs anyway, so they could just squeeze in anywhere.
In the capital, it was unacceptable for an unmarried young woman to take in an orphan. Not only did Ye Qingyin have an opinion, but even the neighbors who saw it, though they didn't say anything to her face, were still discussing it behind her back.
He had suffered all these hardships. Those aunties and grandmas always smiled at him and praised him for being smart and naughty, but they always talked about his naughty behavior in front of his parents, causing him to be scolded and beaten many times.
Jiang Jun grimaced. "Then what should we do? You think of a solution! If he's uneducated, he'll just have to wait and see what he can do after serving in the border defense company for three years, besides strengthening his body."
In the 1970s, searching for relatives through DNA testing was nearly impossible. Even blood typing was only available in a few major hospitals.
Chen Yuefei scratched his head: "How about asking your dad? What excuse can you come up with?"
Jiang Jun's eyes lit up. "Yeah, we can find my dad! Let him live with my dad, and then I'll buy him a bicycle. I'll go over and give him tutoring every Sunday. On weekdays, he can have my dad watch him learn to read and do math."
Chen Yuefei also thought it was okay: "Then you have to ask hello first! Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to talk to my dad."
After several years of military life, Chen Yuefei has become much more mature and steady, his logical thinking has become more meticulous, and he will never rashly bring up anything he is not sure about. Now that he has become a platoon leader, he can't afford to be scolded by Chen Zhong again!
Jiang Jun's mind raced: "How about you tell Uncle Chen to recommend you to the military academy? Then you can get Jiang Yuan out, right?"
Chen Yuefei waved his hand. "I submitted my application to stay in the Border Defense Company a long time ago! How can you change your mind so suddenly?"
Jiang Jun had hit a dead end. "Maybe your report wasn't approved! Then you can be discharged, and your mother can find someone to find you a job. Then you can bring Jiang Yuan out, right?"
Chen Yuefei frowned: "I don't want to be discharged! I still want to be like my father and my brother and stay in the army forever!"
Seeing Jiang Jun at his wit's end yet racking his brains, Chen Yuefei softened his heart again. "Don't worry, I still have time to work on a report in the next few days. I still have time to think of a solution. I'll go back tonight and discuss it with Xu Zhijian. He and I rescued Jiang Yuan together, and he was also injured because of this. After this tour report on advanced deeds is finished, he will be discharged."
Jiang Jun's heart skipped a beat: "Xu Zhijian is injured, what about you?"
Chen Yuefei spread his hands and said, "I'm fine, I just don't look good. If I were injured, writing an application report would be useless!"
Jiang Jun breathed a sigh of relief, feeling nothing but gratitude towards Chen Yuefei and Xu Zhijian. "I know how to make some medicine to treat frostbite and chilblain scars. I'll go to the pharmacy and get some medicine in the next few days. I'll give it to you when you come back."
The door of the living room opened, and Gao Shengmei and Yue Peng came in.
Chen Yuefei turned around and went out: "Wow! Sister Xiaomei, I brought your whole family here! Planning to cook another meal, right?"
Gao Shengmei was carrying boxes of tea, mooncakes, and snacks, while Yue Peng was holding a large cardboard box that looked very heavy.
Jiang Yun wiped his hands and followed him out: "Xiaomei, you've moved the non-staple food counter from the supply and marketing cooperative here!"
Gao Shengmei said exaggeratedly, "We need to bring a strong laborer with us. We can at least move more things here, right? Xiao Jiang, I also brought you some information from our factory, hehe, that one!"
Jiang Jun squatted down and looked through the books and materials in the cardboard box. "Xiaomei, you've been so kind to me! How can I thank you?"
Yue Peng snorted: "You should thank me! She kept asking me to put two fewer books in!"
Gao Shengmei scowled coldly at him, "If you say another word, forget about asking me to take you to the movies! I mean what I say!"
In order to delay a little more time, Gao Shengmei had to agree to Yue Peng and call him to come along when she got the internal film.
Chen Yuefei didn't know about watching the internal movie. He smiled and said, "Sister Xiaomei, Brother Peng is already a grown-up. He doesn't need you to take him to the movies, right? I'm the youngest, so you can take me!"
Gao Shengmei was very straightforward: "Okay! As long as you're at home, I'll definitely invite you to watch any good movie I have!"
Yue Peng was unhappy: "Why do you have two different attitudes?"
How come you change your attitude as fast as turning the pages of a book?
Gao Shengmei smiled proudly: "I have always been like this!"
Seeing Yue Peng's expression change, Jiang Jun hurriedly said, "I'll take you! I'll take you! Xiaomei always invites me first when she sees a good movie, so I'll be the first to notify you, okay?"
She was still worried about Gao Shengmei. Yue Peng was a good guy, so she must not be so careless as to offend him. "Xiaomei, the tea leaves you brought smell so good. I'll make some tea and cut up some snacks for you. Please help me take them to the study upstairs."
There is no solution to Jiang Yuan's problem in the short term, and it is useless to continue worrying about it.
Jiang Jun picked out two five-nut mooncakes, cut them into eight pieces, brewed three cups of green tea, and asked Gao Shengmei to bring them to the study.
He picked out two more pieces of Daoxiangcun red bean paste cakes and some baked cakes that someone had sent him, and carefully broke them apart. He also brewed four cups of black tea and brought them to the dining table: "Let's sit here and drink tea. The stools are high and it's more comfortable to sit on."
Yue Peng smiled and said, "Xiao Jiang, I find you are quite particular!"
Chen Yuefei tutted his words, "Of course, she's very particular about everything she does!"
Yue Peng sat down without hesitation, holding the cup of black tea in his hand, and chatted with Chen Yuefei: "Are you leaving early tomorrow morning?"
"Yes! We have to get to a certain regiment before eight o'clock. What about you? When will you report?"
"The day after tomorrow morning, it'll take almost two hours to get to the military academy from here."
Hearing the familiar name of the military academy, Jiang Jun looked up and said, "Where are you going to school? Take me with you when you go. I need to borrow some books from their library."
Gao Shengmei came downstairs and sat next to Jiang Yun: "I'll go with you too!"
Jiang Jun asked curiously, "Don't you have to go to work? Why are you following me around?"
Yue Peng sneered: "She wants to observe my life carefully, then write a script for me and make a movie!"
Gao Shengmei retorted, "Who said we were making a movie for you? What a waste of film!"
Jiang Jun propped up his chin and said, "You two are the only two who are older here, but you're the only ones who speak the most childishly!"
It seems that there is no way to discuss Jiang Yuan’s matter with Gao Shengmei!
