Traveling through Xueba is full of blessings

Chapter 23 Summer and Xia Ling's Future ([-])

The old lady hurriedly sent Xia Qiu out to find Xia Aiguo and Zhao Tiezhu.Xia Qiu just happened to run into his father and little uncle before he had walked a few steps.

"Father, little uncle, grandpa said that there is a meeting. Grandma told me in a low voice just now, let me tell you when I see you. Grandpa didn't say anything when he found out, just said that there is a meeting."

Although Xia Qiu is not like the curious baby Xia Dong, who loves to ask what he means, but at this time he is still a little puzzled.Everyone is mysterious, what is going on?

Xia Aiguo and Zhao Tiezhu looked at each other, and they both understood in their hearts that this was a vote for discussion.Whenever there is a big or small affair in their family, old man Xia likes to use this trick - a show of hands to vote.

The whole family gathered around the big house, either standing or sitting.

Old man Xia first put the pipe and pot on the edge of the kang and knocked, then raised his head and looked around everyone before he said: "Tie Zhu, I just heard from Aiqin that you have something good to tell everyone when you come back this time. Quan, there is nothing wrong with your eldest brother's team, so you can talk to your two brothers and sisters-in-law."

When Zhao Tiezhu heard it, the old man said this to help smooth things over for him, lest the eldest brother and sister-in-law argue.After all, they asked the second brother first for this matter, which seemed to be a bit biased. He had already told Aiqin that this matter should not be done in this way.

"Two brothers and sisters-in-law, this is the case. We will recruit soldiers in the beginning of spring. They are quite rare female soldiers. There are only five places in our county. The competition for designation is probably fierce. But as long as you pass the recruiting period and pass, in the future They mainly work as health soldiers, medical soldiers, and art soldiers. The son of my father’s old comrade-in-arms is in charge of our recruitment. He gave me the news. There is no written notice yet. It's kept secret. He came here to see my father this time. After I heard about it, I told him about Xia Ling and Xia Tian. After hearing about the situation of the two children, he thought it was pretty good. So he agreed to give Let’s save a spot for convenience. It’s not a mistake for the child to be selected after all. He said that he will pay special attention to the investigation and inspection. If he is qualified, among the five places in our county, he will definitely die. You can save one for us."

When Xia Ling heard this, she excitedly took a few steps forward and was about to express her opinion.The old lady saw it and pressed it with her hand, which meant to talk about it later.

Seeing Xia Ling's excited expression in Xia Tian, ​​she knew that when it came to serving as a soldier, Sister Ling Zi appointed her not to be humbled.To be honest, she also wanted to be a soldier, but because of this matter, the two sisters fought over each other, Xia Tian thought it was better to forget it.No way, stick to it for a few more years, work in the village first, and then wait for the university entrance exam.

Xia Aihua and Zheng Sancai were also very excited after hearing this.Xia Aihua felt that if the second daughter could serve as a soldier, she would still be a rare female soldier, and he, the secretary of the brigade, had a bright spot on paper.Of course, niece is also possible, and he is just as beautiful.

But Zheng Sancai felt that the second daughter could no longer be like her eldest sister, living a life that was so boring and embarrassing.I have to help my daughter win it, otherwise, with the partiality of the old man, it would be very difficult for Lingzi to fall on this matter.

Thinking that anyone who stops him will speak up, he changed his previous silent image, and eagerly called Aunt Xia and his wife: "Tie Zhu, Qinzi, let Xia Ling go. Xia Tian is still young, and I will still be there in the future." There is a chance. Xia Ling is an elder sister, and she is also older. If she misses it, she will really have no chance. I beg you to be a sister-in-law. Besides, if you don’t look at anything else, just look at my face of serving the elderly for so many years. Ling, the second child and younger siblings don't have any objections, do they?"

Xia Ling also nodded fiercely on the side, and promised: "Sister-in-law, uncle, I am better than Xia Tian, ​​and I will definitely be selected, so I won't embarrass you."

Old man Xia and the old lady never expected the behavior of these two women.Moreover, they used the excuse of supporting them and serving the elderly to block the mouths of the youngest son and daughter.Thanks to two good things, if it's just about being a soldier, can the eldest and second child's family still get along as happily as before?For a moment, both Zheng Sancai and Xia Ling felt cold.Glancing again at Zhang Qiao's way of poking Xia Wen non-stop, Xia Wen also stood there hesitating to speak.Why!What's the matter?The son-in-law hadn't finished speaking yet, and each of them's true nature was exposed.

Just as Zhao Tiezhu was about to speak, Old Man Xia waved his hand to tell him to stop first, then he looked at his eldest son Xia Aihua and asked, "Boss, do you think so too? Have the same attitude as your wife and daughter?"

The old man Xia's tepid questioning attitude made Xia Tian look at his grandfather worriedly.She opened her mouth to express, and wanted to tell Grandpa that there was no need to be angry because of this, but Su Meili grabbed her hand and signaled her not to speak.

"Father, it's a good thing to be a niece or niece. Reiko is stronger than Tiantian, and can withstand military training and hardships, but Tiantian is more educated than Reiko. Didn't you hear what my brother-in-law said? How many kinds of soldiers. I heard that meaning, no matter what kind of soldiers these are, you need educated people to learn and understand.”

After finishing speaking, he scratched his head: "I was also thinking about it. After all, who is more likely to pass the exam in the spring. If you can't do it, you can go. It's not difficult for your brother-in-law. If our child is really not good Even being elected, isn’t that asking others to help our family make mistakes.”

Old man Xia heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately the boss did not disappoint him.Glancing at the blushing face of the eldest daughter-in-law, he really wanted to hear what cruel words she could say, and see what a sister-in-law like her would think of her younger siblings and niece.His old lady tugged at his sleeves, he understood that the old lady was trying to persuade him to save face for the eldest daughter-in-law, there are so many juniors there, hey!That's all!
He signaled his son-in-law to continue, and he waited to see how the eldest daughter-in-law would change her face when the time came.

The atmosphere became a little awkward.Zhao Tiezhu secretly glanced at Xia Aiqin, trying to find some hints from his wife. He actually didn't know what hints he wanted to know, but he was used to looking at Xia Aiqin's face to act.But Xia Aiqin was expressionless.

You said that this matter is troublesome, if the two of them didn't want to live a good life for Lao Xia's family, what would they do with all their troubles and efforts?If this matter is not handled well, it is easy to complain.Well, he will follow the old father-in-law's request and say whatever he wants!The way of talking around is not suitable for them.

"Sister-in-law, there is another choice. You might as well listen to it before making a decision. There are only seven places for internal recruitment at the paper mill in the county. The children of cadres in other factories have taken up four places this time, and there are only three places left. It is said that they are also fighting for their heads in the factory. I will not explain why I can get the quota. To put it bluntly, I can get a quota to replace the share of the children of the internal cadres. And the benefits of the factory Well, you may have heard that there is also a dormitory for workers, the wages are high, the work is not heavy, they are official state workers, and they are ready to go to work after fifteen."

Zhao Tiezhu simply stopped talking nonsense.This matter is so difficult, a person who understands will understand it no matter what, but no matter how transparent a foolish person is, it is useless, and he still thinks that he should deserve it.

Zhao Tiezhu was also a little dissatisfied with his sister-in-law's favor with the elderly.In Zhao Tiezhu's view, the second brother Xia Aiguo's disposition is more suitable than the eldest brother to take over the position of the old man.Then why did the old man pull the old man in the village and push the boss to the top? Don't you really understand why the eldest brother and sister-in-law are arguing?
The sister-in-law only saw the father-in-law's preference for Xia Tian.In fact, don't you just have some food and drink?Why don't you count it, as long as his old father-in-law and old mother-in-law give centimeters to your family every year?The old man did not eat your food in vain!Let's talk about how much my daughter-in-law subsidizes her mother's family!There is also the second sister-in-law, who never plots against the old man, and keeps begging the old man to join them when they are going through a difficult time. This person is startling.

"That's good, that's good, I'm going to die for this, I'll go." Xia Ling hurriedly changed her mind, as if she was afraid that others would force her to join the army.

Zheng Sancai also nodded anxiously and agreed: "Yes, yes. Our family Tiantian is young, and she can develop in the army like this. She will grow up as long as the army trains her. She is good at a young age." Working as a state worker in the county, In their eyes, it is better than being a soldier.One is that being a worker is as honorable as being a soldier. The other is that you are close to home, so you can take care of one or two things. The third is that being a worker is not as hard as being a soldier. I heard that being a soldier requires training.Although listening to the names of those soldiers, it seems that they don't need to go to the battlefield, but what if?Of course, the most important point is that being a worker earns more, and you can go to work and make money right away.The more Xia Ling thinks about it, the happier she is. She thinks of the future. She has earned money to buy cloth for herself to make beautiful clothes.

Zheng Sancai babbled for a long time, and found that only his daughter-in-law Zhang Qiao followed her and said how good it would be to be a worker, and everyone else looked at them quietly.
