Chapter 99
Kong Wenming came back after a while. Just as he was about to write a letter, he remembered why he had gone to see Zhang Chaoyang just now.
"Here you go. I've never seen you run this fast during exercise."
Zhang Chaoyang handed the ink to Kong Wenming and did not forget to tease him.
"Who can compare with you? When you run, it's like you have rockets tied to your feet. You disappear in an instant."
Kong Wenming unscrewed the cap of the pen, sucked a little ink from the ink bag, and hurried back to write a letter.
He also asked his wife to take pictures with his son, and he also wanted to see the pictures.
Zhang Chaoyang had no idea that the usually steady Lao Kong had such a childish side. Damn this man’s desire to win!
Zhang Chaoyang took out the photos and put them back again, he couldn’t get enough of looking at them.
He kept looking at his watch to check the time, waiting for his wife to get home from get off work so he could call her.
Finally it was time for Xu Di to get off work, and Zhang Chaoyang ran to the office and called home.
"Hello, Chaoyang?"
"Grandma, it's me. I just got back from the sea. Are you and Xu Di okay?"
"Okay, I'm fine. How about you? Are you hurt?"
"No, I'm not hurt."
Grandma Qian was happy to know that her grandson was not injured, so she quickly called Xiaodi and asked her to answer the phone.
"Hey, Chaoyang, are you back?"
"Well, wife, I'm back. How are you? Are you tired? Is the child still kicking you?"
Hearing Xu Di's voice, Zhang Chaoyang's heart began pounding and he suddenly felt a little nervous.
"Fortunately, the child is very sympathetic and didn't make me feel bad.
Occasionally stretch your arms and legs in your belly without exerting too much force. ”
"That's good, that's good, he must be a sweet and caring little girl.
It would be best if I looked like you, with big, watery eyes. Everyone in our Zhang family has single eyelids and their eyes are not very big. ”
The cute face of the little girl appeared in Zhang Chaoyang's mind, and he laughed unconsciously.
"You don't want a son?"
"I like both sons and daughters. But to be honest, I still prefer my daughter. My son is naughty, and I'm not at home all year round. It's too hard for you to be alone."
Zhang Chaoyang has no special preference between his daughter and son. They are all his children, sons and daughters are the same.
With a good education, you can still become successful. If a son is not well educated, he will not be much better than a daughter.
"I don't have a preference, boys and girls are fine, as long as they are healthy, that's better than anything else.
By the way, did you receive the photos? ”
"I got it. It's really beautiful. Especially beautiful."
I don’t know what other words can be used to describe Zhang Chaoyang at this moment except handsome.
"I think it looks good too, especially the side view."
"Well, that one looks very cozy."
Zhang Chaoyang also thinks that one is the best, and the others are also good.
"Chaoyang, do you know anyone in the armed forces? The autumn conscription is about to begin. My second uncle's cousin graduated from high school this year and wants to join the army.
My grandfather said that the brigade has quotas this year, and there are several quotas for the entire commune.
However, for some reason, several brigades in our commune had conscription quotas in recent years, but in the end they were lost for various reasons.
My cousin graduated from high school. He is physically strong and pays special attention to physical exercise at school.
My grandfather's family was poor peasants. According to normal procedures, my cousin should have been selected. I was just afraid that he would be replaced by someone else inexplicably in the end.
If you know anyone, please help keep an eye on it. ”
Xu Di thought that conscription was about to begin, and he didn't know when Zhang Chaoyang would be on another mission. It just so happens that now that I remembered it, I asked him to help keep an eye out for it.
"I see. I have a friend in the armed forces department over there. Tell me your cousin's information and I'll ask him to keep an eye out for him."
Zhang Chaoyang didn't expect that the first time his wife asked him to do something was for her cousin.
After being married for so long, Xu Di really never asked him to do anything that required him to do it well.
"Okay, I'll tell you to remember this."
Xu Di read out the name of his grandfather's brigade, the name of the commune, and his cousin's family information.
“Chaoyang, Grandpa said, if it has any impact on you, forget it.
Xu Yong, you can earn work points in the team even if you don't join the army, so there's no need to involve you. ”
Xu Di remembered his grandfather's words and quickly gave him a warning.
"It's okay. We're not going through the back door. We just need to be careful so we don't get replaced."
"Let's follow the normal process and follow the rules. We're not afraid of something fishy. After all, there have been problems with the quota for several years in a row."
Xu Di couldn't guess the twists and turns, but she knew that at that time, the Revolutionary Committee had great power and who knew what was going on.
"Don't worry, I'll make it clear.
My dear wife, you are going to give birth in two months. I don’t know if I can make it back in time. I’m sorry. ”
"No need to apologize, grandma, Aunt Wu and I are all ready, and when the time comes, we'll just grab our things and go.
The hospital is nearby, so there won't be any problem.
Xiaojun will also be on winter vacation at that time, and he will come over and stay for a few days.
If it starts at night, he can support me. ”
Xu Di told him all her plans and she had made all the arrangements.
"Thank Xiaojun for me. When I get back, I'll invite him to dinner at the state-owned restaurant.
If there is any emergency, you can call Yun Lei; he has less work to do. ”
Zhang Chaoyang has too many worries and too much guilt, but there is nothing he can do.
"Don't worry, take care of yourself and don't get hurt. I've been talking for a long time, so I'll hang up first. I'll write to you later."
"Okay, it's been a bit long. Wife, you've worked hard, and so has grandma. I'll try to get back as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'm hanging up."
Xu Di hung up the phone, his ears were hot because he had been talking for a long time.
"Xiao Di, I forgot to ask you just now, can Chaoyang come back when you give birth?"
"Grandma, he's not sure either, he said he'll try to come back.
It’s okay, we are all ready, it’s okay, Chaoyang said grandma has worked hard. ”
Xu Di's understanding made grandma feel guilty when she thought about what she had just heard.
"Xiao Di, your cousin wants to join the army?"
"Well, he really likes being a soldier. Besides, he can't go to college now, and he has a rural hukou, so he has basically no chance of finding a job.
It is really not easy to earn work points in the countryside. ”
Xu Di thought that it would take another five years before the college entrance examination was resumed, which was too long.
After wasting five years in the countryside, I have lost all my energy. If I get married and have children, even if I take the college entrance examination, my chances of success will be slim.
"That's right. There's not much development in the countryside right now. Let Chaoyang say hello first. If it doesn't work, I'll look for someone else."
"Thank you grandma, if the normal process is followed, my cousin will have a good chance of joining the army."
Xu Di thought that his grandfather was the accountant of the brigade and was popular in the village, so even in the voting, the chances of him winning were very high. There is no problem in the village, the main problem is in the commune.
"These people now, ah..."
Grandma Qian knew about the old revolutionary and felt heartbroken, but she could do nothing about it.
"Grandma, everything will be alright. According to the course of history, there will always be a period of chaos like this."
“I hope I can see that moment in my lifetime!”
"Yes, I will. Grandma will accompany the baby to grow up, watch her learn to walk, send her to elementary school, junior high school..."
Xu Di felt that this scene was really beautiful and warm.
"Then I will strive to live to be a hundred years old."
Grandma is in a good mood and feels happy just thinking about it.
The two sat on the sofa and imagined the future.
