Captain Ma thought for a moment and said, "Hasn't our regiment headquarters assigned quite a few veterans? They haven't been assigned to any of the companies below yet, and they're sitting around doing nothing every day..."
"I just heard that your construction team is short on people and the project is progressing slowly. How about this? I'll have them help your construction workers. How about that?"
After he finished speaking, Captain Ma looked at Chu Tian, Chu Min and Zuo Zhuang. The three of them looked at each other, and Chu Min began to ask.
"What kind of helper is he? Is he doing temporary work for us? Or is he just helping out while we build the regiment headquarters building? How is he paid?"
Captain Ma smiled and explained, "We're just helping with the construction of the headquarters building. You just need to provide the meals. As for the salary? You can give it to them as you see fit..."
"They will be assigned to live in the company below them later, but they haven't been assigned yet."
Chu Min nodded in understanding, "That's fine. We happen to be short of people, so it's good that they are willing to work with us. If they want to work with us formally in the future, we will accept them!"
"well····"
Captain Ma was happy that Chu Min understood what he meant, so the subsequent conversation was very pleasant.
In the city, Xinxin and Siya took the bus to the Xinda staff housing complex and found Professor Qi's house. Just as they were about to raise their hands to knock on the door, they heard a familiar voice.
"Chu Yaxin, Chu Panpan?"
Xinxin and Siya turned around and saw someone familiar.
"Brother He? Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the team?"
He Xiangyang walked forward with a smile and said, "I've been here for two months."
"Are you here to look for Teacher Qi and the others?"
Xinxin nodded, "Well, we want to ask Grandma Qi some questions about English..."
He Xiangyang paused in his attempt to open the door. He turned around to glance at Xinxin and Si Ya and smiled, "Then you may not be able to ask..."
Si Ya was curious, "Why? Aren't Grandma Qi and the others here?"
He Xiangyang opened the door and stood inside, motioning them in. "Well, a while ago was the anniversary of Xinghe's parents' death. They all returned to Jing City. I guess they are on their way back now?"
Xinxin stopped walking when she heard that. "Since Grandpa Qi and the others aren't here, we won't go in."
He Xiangyang smiled and said, "Okay..."
"But aren't you guys asking about your English homework?"
Seeing Xinxin's depressed look, He Xiangyang smiled and suggested, "You can come into the yard, I will teach you in the yard..."
Xinxin looked at He Xiangyang in surprise, "Brother He, can you do it?"
He Xiangyang nodded. Perhaps because Xinxin's face was filled with disbelief, He Xiangyang put away his smile and asked, "Why? Do you think that because I haven't been to school, I'm illiterate, so I can't teach you?"
Xinxin was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved her hands, "No, no, that's not what I meant, you, don't be angry..."
"I'm teasing you."
He Xiangyang burst out laughing and slowly explained, "A few years ago, when Grandpa Qi and the others were still in the brigade, every time I took advantage of the off-duty period after work or during the farming season, I would study with Grandpa and Grandma Qi. Even when they came to the city, I would still come here every week to study with them..."
After a pause, He Xiangyang continued with a confident and complacent tone, "So, although I haven't been to school, Grandpa Qi and Grandma Qi gave me Xinghe's test paper to test it, and my test results were better than Xinghe's..."
Xinxin and Si Ya exclaimed at the same time, asking in unison, "Really? Really?"
Seeing He Xiangyang nodded, Si Ya looked at him with admiration, "Wow, Brother He, you are so awesome! Qi Xinghe is very good in our school. Many classmates say that he will definitely be able to get into the best university in Beijing in the college entrance examination next year..."
"What about you, Brother He? Do you want to take the college entrance examination?"
Very good, Si Ya admires smart people the most, so when she heard He Xiangyang say this, she immediately started to call He Brother along with Xinxin...
Xinxin was nodding repeatedly at first, but then she heard Si Ya's words and quickly pulled her aside. Under Si Ya's puzzled gaze, Xinxin leaned close to her and whispered, "Brother He Xiangyang didn't even go to junior high or high school, and he doesn't have a student status. How is he going to take the college entrance exam?"
"Brother He, yes..."
Si Ya was stunned for a moment when she heard that, then quickly looked at He Xiangyang to apologize, and saw He Xiangyang smiling. She was dazzled by He Xiangyang's smile, and blurted out the words without thinking.
"Brother He, your eyes are so beautiful..."
He Xiangyang, “…”
Xinxin covered her eyes speechlessly. Yes, as she got older, Si Ya not only admired those who were good at studying, but also liked those who were good-looking, regardless of gender...
He Xiangyang explained helplessly, "Grandpa Qi has already contacted the leaders of the Municipal Education Bureau, who contacted the principal of your middle school. The principal found a new high school exam for me to take. Seeing that my grades were pretty good, he allowed me to transfer directly to the senior year when the fall semester starts..."
Xinxin was curious, "So, Brother He Xiangyang, can you take the college entrance examination normally next year?"
He Xiangyang saw Xinxin looking at him curiously. Her fair face had curved eyebrows, her big eyes blinked, her lips were as red as if she had put on rouge, and the tips of her ears were unconsciously red, but her face still looked calm and composed.
"Well, the person Grandpa Qi found re-enrolled me in school, so..."
"So, when school starts in a few days, I'll be a student at the city middle school too!"
Xinxin exclaimed "Wow" and clapped her hands, "Brother He, that's great. You're in your third year of high school this year, and you can take the college entrance examination next year..."
"Unlike us, we still have to study for two more years before we can take the college entrance examination..."
Si Ya nodded and said, "Yes, I envy you so much. You only need to study for one year and you can take the college entrance examination..."
He Xiangyang chuckled and pointed to the stone table in the courtyard. "So, do you need me to help you with your English?"
Xinxin and Si Ya looked at each other, then turned to look at He Xiangyang at the same time, nodded in tacit understanding, and said in unison, "Brother He, thank you for your help!"
He Xiangyang laughed, "Then come in, by the way, there's no need to close the gate..."
"Please sit down first. I'll get you some water."
As he spoke, He Xiangyang took out the key from his pocket and opened the door. After a while, he brought out two cups of scented tea with roses!
In this small courtyard, three children of the right age are studying together, and the atmosphere is just right.
On the other side, Chu Min had just returned from the regiment headquarters and had planned to go home for lunch before going back to work. However, he suddenly heard what Li Ping said and immediately became angry. He turned around and told Dazhu, who had just returned home, to go to the company and tell Sun Weiguo that he would not be going in the afternoon and asked him to take his men to the warehouse by himself.
He returned to the bedroom with a gloomy face, found a belt from inside the house, and sat back in the living room with the belt in his hand with a gloomy face, waiting for his rebellious son to come home.
