"It's quite a coincidence that in recent years, he has been promoted just at the age limit, and you could say he has always narrowly escaped it!"
"So that's how it is!"
"However, his current position is probably coming to an end, in about three to five years. In any case, he is already of age."
"That's true. The military, especially the grassroots commanders, needs young people. People like Zhang Shugen are no longer suitable."
"You know what, you're absolutely right. When Zhang Shugen was promoted to deputy battalion commander, he was transferred to the logistics department. Now he's just a staff member with no real power."
"Yeah?"
"Anyway, we won't have much contact in the future, so it won't have any impact."
"That's good"
"By the way, why don't you move to the military family compound with your child too!"
"Why are you asking this?"
"Didn't the instructor say today that there are a few vacant rooms in the family compound?"
"Let's forget about it! Let's give it to someone else who needs it! Besides, we don't live that far away, so it doesn't matter whether we move or not!"
That's true.
"Actually, this is what I think. Although it would be more convenient to move to the military area, it is not appropriate after careful consideration."
Putting everything else aside, just considering Ping An'an, we occasionally give them some treats, like meat, since it's not convenient living in the family compound.
Think about it, in our family, we cook meat dishes or make chicken soup for the kids every now and then. Even if the neighbors say something, they'll just think I'm spending all your salary.
In addition, since there are two children in the family who need to be nourished, no one will go too far. So far, no child in the brigade has come to our house asking for a piece of meat.
But things might be different once you get to the military region. You're a deputy battalion commander now, so even if you're eating meat, you'll need meat ration coupons.
"Who knows what will happen in the long run? Besides, we all live so close by. If the kids from the neighbors come over, can you really not give them a bite to eat? With so little meat, do you think it's enough?"
"You're right."
"Actually, I think the most important thing is that it's not a problem between children. They just want some food. I'm afraid the adults will cause trouble. If it gets too ugly over food, not only will we women not get along, but you comrades might also lose your friendships. How can you lead the troops then?"
"That's absolutely right. There really are cases like this in the military. At first, it was just that the two women didn't like each other, but eventually, these two men started showing similar tendencies. If it weren't for the higher-ups noticing and talking to them in time, no one would have known that the problem originated with their respective family members."
"Right! In any case, putting everything else aside, the families of these military personnel come from all over the country, so they are bound to be different in some ways, and their habits are also different. It's best not to ask too many questions."
But no matter when, there will always be those meddlesome people.
"That's absolutely right! About the child going to school?"
“There’s no rush. Mantou is only 5 years old now. I plan to send him to school in two years. By then, Ping An’an’s health will be almost fully recovered, and the three of them can go together.”
"Alright"
"In that case, I'll help you by giving the family housing to another comrade."
"Sure, instructor!"
"By the way, what happened the other day when you asked me about Section Chief Zhang?"
"This is what happened..."
"No, you mean that Section Chief Zhang's current partner used to pursue you?"
"Instructor, you can't say that. I've only met Section Chief Zhang's wife twice so far. Everything else I've heard from my wife."
I'm telling you about this today so that you'd better not let me into the family compound in the future. Putting everything else aside, the impact this has is definitely not good!
"Okay, I got it. I'll come find you at the camp if I need anything in the future."
"That's good, that's good. I was really worried that something might go wrong!"
"I don't think so!"
"You might not believe me! When my wife was transferred here from the educated youth settlement, she was the main reason..."
"You mean Section Chief Zhang's wife?"
That's right.
"Okay, I understand the seriousness of the matter. In the future, try not to go to the family quarters when you leave the camp. If something really happens, have someone else accompany you!"
"good"
I never expected that I hadn't heard of Gu Cuicui for so many years. She has now moved to the military family compound next door. I wonder how she is doing now. But she is a stepmother. Being a stepmother is not easy!
"Hey! You know what? A few days ago I saw this Section Chief Zhang's wife stop Deputy Battalion Commander Shen on the street and say a lot of things to him."
"No way! How could they know each other! Besides, Deputy Battalion Commander Shen isn't from this area!"
"Who says it isn't! That's really strange!"
Strange things happen every year these days, what's the big deal?
"But why do I feel like there's something a little off about this Comrade Gu?"
"Are you being overly sensitive?"
"Maybe so!"
The main reason for deciding whether or not to move to the family compound is to avoid the hassle. Putting aside everything else, there's not much time left before the college entrance exam. After the exam and the admission notice arrives, we'll have to pack up and move back to Beijing, which is too much trouble.
No matter what, I have to go back to university. I don't need to get a perfect score, but I definitely have to go to university.
Another point is that I should try to earn some extra money while I'm in college.
There are three sons in the family now, and another one is in the womb, making a total of four children. We need to make plans early.
As for whether he will stay in Beijing after graduating from university or go somewhere else, we'll see. I don't know if my third brother's job will be transferred by then.
"It's born! It's born! Li Zhiqing, look, it's a girl."
Really?
"Of course, you have three sons before this, and this fourth one is a daughter, that's not bad either!"
"That's right, to be honest, my husband and I are really hoping this one will be a daughter!"
"That's great! Alright, I won't say anything more. I'll find a bag and take it out to show Comrade Shen!"
"good"
"Seventh Grandma, is it a boy or a girl?"
What do you think?
Is it really a girl?
"Of course it's true."
"Little sister, I want to see my little sister."
"Really? It's a little sister?"
"I want to see it too!"
"How can it be so ugly?"
that is
"What nonsense are you talking about? You were just like this when you were kids."
"How is that possible?"
"Nothing is impossible; it'll be interesting to see in a while."
"Really, Dad?"
When has Dad ever lied to you?
