Upon hearing Wen Ruan's question, Song Yan replied casually, "You did alright on the exam and got an excellent student award."
Wen Ruan was speechless after hearing this. She felt like biting someone. She had worked so hard to study and memorize for the exam and finally managed to pass.
He, on the other hand, always seemed to find exams very easy, which made Wen Ruan extremely envious.
......
Soon the two walked back to their doorstep together. After meeting Song Yan, Wen's mother and Song's mother chatted for a while before going home separately.
Song Yan prepared the meal at home, and seeing that Wen Ruan had not yet returned from working overtime, he went to the entrance of her workplace to pick her up.
In the evening, they brought out the dishes that Song Yan had prepared earlier. Song Yan had made a very lavish meal. It had been a long time since the two of them had been able to sit down and eat a meal together in peace. Both Song Yan and Wen Ruan were very happy.
Wen Ruan ate a bit too much for dinner and felt a little bloated, and her stomach was also a bit uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Song Yan volunteered to rub her stomach.
Song Yan sat on the living room sofa, while Wen Ruan lay on his lap, his gentle pressure soothing her abdomen.
At that moment, she felt incredibly comfortable, and soon, waves of drowsiness washed over her, and she drifted off to sleep.
When she opened her eyes again, it was the next morning. Song Yan woke her up again, having already prepared a meal and told her to get up.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw Song Yan and was overjoyed. She looked at him several times and finally realized that she was not dreaming and that everything last night was real. Song Yan was back!
After waking up, she didn't say anything, just sat on the bed and looked at Song Yan with a silly grin.
Song Yan smiled helplessly, but he did his best to fetch water for her to wash her face and help her change her clothes.
Wen Ruan remained motionless, like a lord, letting him do as he pleased.
After finally getting ready, the two finished their meal and prepared to go back to the compound and the steel factory's residential area. After all, Song Yan had just returned, and although he had seen his two mothers yesterday, he had not yet reported to his two elderly fathers.
The steel factory's residential compound and the main compound were on the same route, so we went to the Wen family's house first, based on how close they were. Unfortunately, Wen's father had just left home not long ago.
As soon as the two entered the house, they heard Wen's mother complaining: "You work every day, you're always busy, you're the busiest person in the world. If you're so busy, why did you even get married? Why don't you spend your time with your work?"
While cleaning the house, Wen's mother muttered to herself, which was overheard by Wen Ruan and Song Yan, who had just entered the house.
Wen Ruan and Song Yan exchanged a glance. She secretly smiled, cutely stuck out her tongue, and then called out to her mother, "Mom!"
Wen's mother was startled. She was pleasantly surprised to see the two of them return, but she was a little embarrassed, wondering if they had heard her complaints about Wen's father. She wanted to subtly change the subject.
But Wen Ruan insisted on being cheeky: "Mom, Dad went to work again?"
Wen's mother knew that the two of them had just heard it. Looking at Wen Ruan's mischievous expression, she knew that she was deliberately teasing her, and glared at her in annoyance.
Then, turning to Song Yan, he began to try and salvage the situation: "The work is right; the country's development cannot be separated from us working people..."
Wen Ruan secretly chuckled to herself...
The two had lunch at the Wen family's house and then prepared to head to the compound.
Today, Song's father happened to be home as well. As soon as the two entered the door, Aunt Li came out to greet them. She was very happy to see Song Yan. She had heard from Song's mother yesterday that Song Yan had returned after finishing his training. She quickly invited the two of them in.
Song's mother estimated that the two of them would have to return to the compound today, so she specifically asked Li Sao to go to the market to buy a lot of ingredients. Both children have been busy with work to the point of exhaustion, and they have lost a lot of weight. She thought she would take advantage of the time to make them more nourished in the future.
Wen Ruan and Song's mother went to the kitchen to help Li Sao, while Song Yan followed Song's father into the study.
"You're back..." Father Song looked at his youngest son, his words filled with relief and pride.
People say that Song Jianshan is lucky. Although he came from a difficult background, he later joined the army, made numerous merits, and rose through the ranks. He then married a good wife and had a good father-in-law. After leaving the military, his career developed very smoothly. He solved one major case after another, and his career rose step by step. He is a capable person.
But if he were to say it himself, his proudest achievement in life would be his two sons. From childhood to adulthood, the two of them had never caused him any worry. Although Song Yan had gotten a recommendation to go to university on his own and did not follow his wishes to enlist in the army, he had always had his own ideas, and he could not interfere too much.
He had received news of Song Yan's trip to the training class well in advance. This training class was no ordinary one. It wouldn't be long, probably this year, before the higher authorities would take some major action. However, the reserve of various cadres was still relatively scarce.
Especially those with expertise in economics!
Firstly, the country needs young talent, and secondly, although the second son of the Song family is a mechanical engineer, he also has a keen business sense and reform ideas.
Song Yan's performance at the steel plant was recorded in the archives and played a positive role in promoting the plant's development.
After being transferred to the Commerce Bureau, his working methods and thinking were quite different, completely different from the older generation, which was a pleasant surprise.
Everyone in the Commerce Bureau knows about Song Yan. Although he is young, he is very reliable.
So when the spots for the training course were announced, the leaders of the Commerce Bureau intended to give the spot to Song Yan. Coincidentally, Song Yan's direct superior was an old comrade-in-arms of Song's father. After hearing the news from above, he immediately informed Song's father of the good news.
He knew everything about what happened in the training class, including that Song Yan was the fastest learner, always ranked first in exams, and remained calm and composed when facing inspections from higher-ups.
He was very satisfied, and looked at Song Yan with eyes full of satisfaction.
His two sons have grown up strong and independent, and he knows he can't really help them much. All he can do is encourage them to do their best in their current careers.
Song Yan nodded in agreement.
