Before answering the phone, Tian Hongxing subconsciously glanced at the wall clock.
At 8 o'clock sharp, it should be a call from my daughter.
Thinking of this, he reached out and picked up the receiver. Sure enough, the eldest daughter's voice came from inside.
Tian Hongxing smiled immediately: "They are here. The third girl, the fourth girl, and Xiangyang are all here."
Looking at the three children surrounding him, the old father smiled lovingly, put his big hand on his youngest son's head and rubbed it twice, then asked: "Should we call Lai Di or Pan Di to answer the phone first?"
Hearing this, Lai Di and Pan Di couldn't help but move their heads closer to their father, their eyes sparkling.
"Ah? Tell dad first. Haha, okay! Okay! Yu girl, you tell me!" Tian Hongxing, who thought his daughters had secrets yesterday and was a stranger to him as a father, suddenly blushed.
But before he could be happy for long, he was so shocked by what he heard that he stood up with a jerk.
He was surprised and delighted: "Are you serious? The second son-in-law got Lai Di a quota for a female soldier?"
Lai Di opened her eyes wide and looked at her father in disbelief.
Serve as a soldier
she
How can it be
Lai Di knew that the best career options these days were either to study at a workers, peasants and soldiers university or to join the army.
But there are too few places in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University and in the military, especially for female soldiers.
The old secretary of Chaoyang Village is determined to send his daughter to the army to serve as a soldier. I heard that he has been trying to find a relationship for two or three years but has not been successful so far.
Yes, it is not easy to be a soldier, especially for a female soldier.
Just when Lai Di suspected that she had heard wrongly and her face darkened again, she was hugged tightly by the fourth sister.
Pan Di happily shook her third sister: "Sister, that's great, you are going to join the army, that's great!"
So... "Really? I'm really going to join the army? I... I'm not dreaming?" The huge surprise made Lai Di feel dazed.
"Of course it's true. Isn't that what Dad is asking?"
Yes, yes, yes, Dad is still talking to my sister on the phone. Lai Di took a few deep breaths and patted her cheeks, trying to calm herself down. Then she stared at her father expectantly and hesitantly, and her whole body tensed up unconsciously.
Here, Tian Hongxing had already confirmed from the brief explanation of her eldest daughter that her second son-in-law had really helped her third daughter find a place to join the army.
Lai Di can go directly to the health center and start learning nursing.
This is a stable job and a skilled craft!
As long as San Ya studies hard, she will be able to find a job as a nurse in a local hospital even after she retires from the army in the future. There is a shortage of medical staff everywhere now, and all hospitals are scrambling to recruit talents who retire from military hospitals.
Moreover, although my third daughter is timid, she is very thoughtful, hardworking and gentle. She is really suitable to be a nurse.
The more I think about it, the happier I am. This is definitely tailor-made for the third girl.
Tian Hongxing repeatedly expressed her gratitude to the person on the other end of the phone: "Second son-in-law is so thoughtful, so thoughtful! Big girl, thank your brother-in-law on behalf of your father."
The eldest son-in-law is a good person, and now the second son-in-law also cares so much about the family. He is moved and relieved.
He is also a man. Since his second son-in-law is willing to take so much trouble, the couple must have a really good relationship.
Tian Hongxing, who had no idea that this job was actually Tian Mi's personal achievement, imagined a lot and became even more satisfied with his second son-in-law, whom he had never met.
"Okay, okay, I'll call Lai Di right away." After the two sides talked about some details, Tian Hongxing signaled the third girl to come over and answer the phone.
Lai Di raised her hand subconsciously, only to find that her hand had been clenched into a fist at some point.
Her face turned red, and she picked up the phone in panic: "Hello."
The person on the other end of the phone has changed to Tian Mi. After all, compared to the eldest sister, she is more familiar with her younger brothers and sisters.
Tian Mi said directly: "Laidi, the call cannot be dragged on for too long, I will make it short."
"Okay, second sister, you speak, I'm listening."
"I have something else to say to Pan Di. Please ask my fourth sister to answer the phone."
A lot of things came to her mind at once. Although Lai Di remembered them all, she was suddenly panicked when she thought that she had never even left the county town and now she had to travel alone to the north more than 2,000 kilometers away.
Pan Di thought her second sister was telling her to keep an eye on her third sister before she left, but she didn't expect that as soon as she picked up the receiver, she only had time to say "Hello!" before she heard:
"Fourth sister, do you want to come with us?"
Pan Di reacted quickly. She was stunned for only two seconds before asking in confusion: "Can I join the army at my age?"
"If you don't join the army, you can come to the army and live with me. My elder sister and the second sister will support you in your studies. But next year when you go to junior high school, you will have to go to a boarding school in the city, which is three or four hours away from the army. You can only come back once a week. You are unfamiliar with the place. Can you handle it?"
In fact, Chen Xun from the eldest sister's family is the same age as Pan Di, and will also be in the first grade next year. The two of them could have been a perfect pair.
But with the help of his former leader, my brother-in-law will send Chen Xun to the provincial middle school next year.
It is not easy to get into that school because most of the students are children of military officers. In addition to basic cultural knowledge, these children are often taken out for training by their teachers.
In Tian Mi's opinion, it was a bit like training reserve forces for military academies.
The eldest brother-in-law had already used his connections to get his son in, so it was too shameless for him to ask for help again. Therefore, if the fourth sister came, she could only go to the city middle school.
Pan Di was totally unprepared and didn't know how to react. Fortunately, the second sister on the other end of the phone said, "It's not urgent. You can think about it for a day and then notify us. If you come, we will buy two tickets. If you don't come, we will only buy the third sister's ticket. Pan Di, you can also choose to finish junior high school or high school in your hometown, and come to us after graduation. If you want to join the army, when you are old enough, your sister will also find a way to get you a quota. But don't tell anyone except Dad that your second sister can let you join the army, understand?"
The more time went on, the more confused Pan Di became. In the end, she didn't even know when Xiangyang picked up the phone.
Finally, the two sisters looked at each other and saw confusion on each other's faces.
What happened today was a huge shock to both of them.
Got to slow down.
Yes, no rush.
Slow down for a moment.
"Mi girl, do you think fourth sister will come over?" Tian Yu asked immediately after seeing his sister hung up the phone.
Tian Mi reached out and took Pang Ya in her arms, nodded, and shook her head: "I think she should come, but she might be worried about Xiang Yang. Pan Di is a tough girl but soft-hearted."
After saying this, she looked at her husband beside her and said, "We're going back. We should come over to use the phone again the day after tomorrow morning." She always felt it was not good to use her brother-in-law's phone. It was like plucking the wool of a sheep, so she made the call today from Lou Lu's office.
Lou Luhui comforted him in a deep voice: "It's okay, it's a special situation, I can understand."
Tian Mi also smiled: "Then I'll go back first. By the way, I made pheasant soup today. When you get off work, you can ask your brother-in-law to come back with you."
"Okay, I got it. This is for you." As he said that, Lou Luhui bent down and took out a small tea can from the lower cabinet door.
"Where did it come from?" Tian Mi took the tea can handed to her by her husband, opened it and took a look. Surprisingly, there was still half a can inside.
When the two sisters met in the morning, Tian Mi learned from her eldest sister that the tea leaves she used to make milk tea were all good tea, which men usually were reluctant to drink.
Lou Luhui coughed lightly and said, "I got it from Political Commissar Liu. Don't you like making milk tea? Take it first. I have written to my father and asked him to send a few more boxes. I will return it to Political Commissar Liu later."
Tian Mi
"A-choo!" At a certain army group headquarters, a middle-aged man wearing a neat military uniform and looking very imposing sneezed loudly without any warning.
"Commander? Do you have a cold?" Guard Xiao Li immediately asked worriedly.
Lou Zhan waved his hand: "It's okay, I guess someone is talking about me."
In his early years, Lou Zhan was a cold, hard and strong person who would start to argue at the slightest disagreement. Later, the burdens on him became heavier and heavier, and slowly, he became what he is today.
Although he looked gentle, no one dared to underestimate the ruthlessness and decisiveness that was restrained and spread from the artillery fire.
Xiao Li calculated the time and smiled: "According to the time, Madam should be home by now."
Thinking of his wife who is eight years younger than him, the lines on Lou Zhan's face softened a little. He wondered if she was tired from going out this time.
Also, what is the character of your daughter-in-law like
Thinking of this, Lou Zhan looked at Xiao Li and ordered: "I will go back to eat at noon."
Hearing this, Xiao Li was not surprised and joked with a smile: "You haven't seen Lu Hui for a few years. This time he must have asked his wife to bring back a lot of good things to honor you."
Lou Zhan's two guards had been with him for many years. In addition, he started from a grassroots background and was not arrogant. After hearing what Xiao Li said, he just smiled and shook his head: "Since ancient times, people have forgotten their mothers after marrying a wife. It's good enough that the brat didn't ask me for anything."
