"I promise I will never do anything to make things worse in the future."
Today, Aunt Tian had someone deliver some wild vegetables to the gate. Song Qing chopped them up and plans to make wild vegetable dumplings for dinner.
“I don’t stop you two from having a good relationship, but if you don’t join me in disciplining your child, then don’t say anything.”
This has happened several times already. Every time she tries to correct An'an's little flaws, he steps in and takes the blame himself. Song Qing has been holding back for several days before finally saying anything to him.
"I'm sorry, I promise I won't do it again."
He repeatedly assured her, and seeing that Song Qing's expression had improved, he moved closer to her.
"What are we having for dinner tonight?"
The wild vegetable dumplings are in the pot. What do you want to eat? Song Qing didn't answer, but instead told him about the meeting that day.
"Director Zhang wants me to become a technician."
"Go ahead."
He stood by the stove for a while and couldn't help but get closer and closer. He only stepped back after Song Qing glanced at him while holding a spatula, but he still held a prepared wild vegetable box in his hand.
He ate while mumbling something indistinctly.
"Can you listen carefully first? Although Director Zhang said he wanted me to go, I feel it's a bit unrealistic."
Lu Yang perked up his ears, his mouth still stuffed with wild vegetable boxes, and asked her with a puzzled look what was unrealistic about it.
"Do you know Zhao Qin next door? Her father is the director of a textile factory in Shanghai, and she is also a college graduate."
Having a factory manager as a father is surprising enough, but he's also a college graduate. College graduates are so rare these days.
"so what?"
"Think about it, our military region is so big, and we have quite a few young family members, including several college graduates. Why would Director Zhang want me to go?"
Regarding the house issue, although we did help her solve a big problem, we also benefited from it, so we've settled the score.
This time, the factory might select a dozen or twenty people to go for training. Some will stay as technicians, and the rest will become ordinary workers. Technicians are at a higher level than ordinary workers.
"That means she admires your abilities."
Lu Yang was a little puzzled. What was so strange about this? Song Qing had been working in the government office for several years. Not only was she efficient and clean in her work, but she also had a very positive attitude. She had been reading all night with the lamp on.
That was a completely unfamiliar field, but she quickly learned about it within the limited resources available to her, without wasting any time.
To be honest, Lu Yang, as a battalion commander, likes this kind of subordinate. When given a task, she doesn't question or complain, but immediately gets to work.
"Among so many family members, I'm not the most capable one."
There were people with better education than her, people with more years of work experience than her, and even veterans who had worked in the family factory for many years.
“That’s easy. Director Zhang doesn’t know those people. She only knows that you are capable, so there’s no need to bother looking for other people.”
Well, according to him, if it weren't for the house issue, Director Zhang wouldn't have known her.
"Do you want to go?" Lu Yang knew she wanted to, otherwise she wouldn't have thought about so many questions.
“An’an is still young. The timing of this business trip is not yet set. It may take one or two months. What will you do then?”
"You have to go to work. Even if you put her in the early childhood education class, you still have to take care of her in case you have an emergency."
"Go ahead!" Lu Yang reached for another wild vegetable box and chuckled.
"At that time, my daughter and I will depend on each other. I will take her to eat in the cafeteria. She won't have to go home for lunch in the preschool class, and I will tell her stories in the evening."
I'll explain the situation to my supervisor when the time comes. They usually don't assign me urgent tasks. Besides, if all else fails, I'll just take the child to my supervisor's house and ask them to help take care of him.
Lu Yang addressed her concerns with a joke, but Song Qing still had a frown on her face.
"Don't worry, if the boss knew I was raising the child alone, he would definitely consider my situation. Besides, the boss's child is in college, and his wife is a very nice person."
Song Qing knew that Lu Yang had a good relationship with his boss, but he didn't expect that Lu Yang would be so shameless.
"You really have wild ideas, wanting your boss to help you take care of your child."
“If he didn’t consider my actual situation, I really would dare to dream of such a thing.”
He laughed for a while and then said seriously, "If you want to go, then go. If it really doesn't work out, we can ask Sister Fang and others for help."
"This is a rare opportunity. If we are only selecting 20 people, there are already technicians in the factory, and some of the family members who come here may have worked in the factory before. If you don't go, this spot will be gone in no time."
And I believe you can definitely handle it; you don't need to worry about things at home.
I don't know why Director Zhang brought Song Qing into the textile factory's preparatory team, and even suggested that she become a technician.
It's a good thing to be noticed by Director Zhang; maybe I'll be more than just a technician in the future.
"I..." Song Qing was already somewhat conflicted, and she was afraid that Lu Yang would not want her to go, but she did not expect that he would resolve her concerns with just a few words.
She suddenly realized that this man was even better than she had imagined.
As Lu Yang watched her suddenly approach, he suddenly regretted grabbing the wild vegetable box with his hands. Now he could only quietly put his arm around her waist.
Song Qing glared at him, then thought for a moment and handed him another chive pancake with a spatula.
"It's freshly made."
"..."
"Thanks"
Lu Yang released her and stepped back slightly. "Song Qing, we're husband and wife, no need for thanks."
"I just wanted to express my gratitude."
Song Qing smiled and then closed the distance again. "Then I'll talk to Director Zhang tomorrow. I'm just afraid I won't do a good job and will let her down."
The couple huddled together chatting. Luckily, all the chive dumplings in the pan were cooked, otherwise they would have burned without anyone noticing.
An'an picked up a small snail shell on the ground in the backyard and ran back to show it off to her mother as if she had found a treasure. But she found her parents standing in front of the stove, talking to each other.
She tilted her head and stared for a while. Finally, Song Qing noticed her gaze, quickly stepped back, and pinched Lu Yang's waist.
Lu Yang was still a little confused until he turned around and saw his daughter standing at the kitchen door.
He touched his nose, about to say something, when Song Qing's face turned slightly red with annoyance.
The child is still here!
"Mom, I want some too!"
An'an sniffed and rushed over like a little cannonball. Lu Yang smiled, picked her up, and picked up a chopstick to serve her a piece of food.
"Do you want Daddy to blow you?"
"An'an can brag about it herself!"
She puffed out her cheeks, blew on the stove a few times, and then leaned in. It was so hot that she stuck out her tongue and kept chewing. The whole family huddled around the stove, and soon Song Qing felt they were getting in the way, so she chased them all out.
