Leaving Gao Shize's office, Qin Zheng went home directly. Before his car arrived at the door, he heard a burst of children's laughter mixed with the sound of dogs barking.

The driver said: "Chief, your house is really lively, and you can hear the voices of children from several houses every day." ”

Qin Zheng also smiled: "There are more children in the family, of course there will be more trouble." ”

At this time, the four adopted children have been fully integrated into the family, and they have all regained their playful nature, of course, they should all go to school now, and they should go to kindergarten, but after they come back, they all play together. Luo Yuandong is more than two years old, can run and jump, and can also play with his brothers and sisters. At this time, the six puppies that Qin Zheng brought back from the Northeast have grown up a lot, although they are still underage, but they are no longer in the appearance of small milk dogs, because they grew up with the children, they have naturally become the children's best playmates, so at 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon every day, the children who go to school and kindergarten have gone home, that is, the most lively time in the family, 5 children and 6 dogs, playing in the garden. Fortunately, Qin Zheng's family has a large yard of more than 40 square meters, otherwise it would not be enough for so many children to play.

Although it is much more noisy now than before when there was only a family of 4 and one person, it is rare to have a quiet time for a while, but Qin Zheng and Zhou Ping prefer this kind of life, after all, this is the real family atmosphere, although by the standard of future generations, Qin Zheng and Zhou Ping have not yet entered old age at this time, but in this era, it should be the age of children and grandchildren.

The car stopped at the gate of the courtyard, Qin Zheng got out of the car, asked the driver to go home to rest, and then walked into the courtyard gate, only to see that the children were playing in the yard, Xiao Zhujing and Lu Qiurong The two girls each held a small bowl and were feeding the three puppies, Meng Shizhang and Lin Jin were leading the other two puppies to jump around, and Xiao Yuandong was holding the neck of a puppy, I don't know what to do with the puppy.

However, seeing that Qin Zheng was back, Xiao Yuandong immediately let go of the puppy, staggered to Qin Zheng, and shouted, "Grandpa, grandpa is back, grandpa is back." ”

Qin Zheng's face not only showed a hint of a smile, he leaned down and hugged him, and said, "Far East, are you behaving today, are you naughty?" ”

The other children also came over, calling grandpa one after another, Qin Zheng put down the Far East, hugged each child, and then let them continue to play, of course, they inevitably told "don't fight" and "pay attention to safety" and so on.

Luo Yue did not come back for dinner today, because he had already received an order from the Military Commission that he was going to Borneo to negotiate with Shi Pei, who was dispatched by Germany, on the handover of land defense and cooperation, and at the same time to inspect the garrison of the marines in Borneo and other affairs, so this visit would take at least three or four months, and the affairs of Qingdao would have to be handed over.

After the disaster relief along the Yangtze River was over, Luo Yue's main energy was focused on the construction of the Marine Corps, and now the expansion of the Marine Corps has been completed, and the establishment of three divisions and six brigades has been fully recruited, and the next thing is mainly training, in addition, the Marine Corps is not only a combat unit, but also a landing fleet, a fire support fleet, a logistics support fleet, and so on, and these fleets all need professional warships and need special design. Although the Marine Corps is not the focus of the construction of the People's Army at present, these plans, as well as the design of warships, can be done first.

Of course, the command of the Marine Corps is a perfect team, and there are a large number of people such as deputy commanders, political commissars, and chief of staff, not only Luo Yue alone, but Luo Yue presides over the overall situation, and all things are ultimately decided by Luo Yue, and this time Luo Yue goes to Borneo, he will not go alone, he will always take a few people to go, so not only the manpower of the Marine Corps command must be arranged, but also the affairs of Qingdao will be arranged. Luo Yue has been busy with these things for the past few days, so he can't come back to eat.

After dinner, Zhou Weiying supervised the children to do their homework, although they were adopted children, Qin Zheng's family attached great importance to the children's education, and naturally let them play happily when it was time to play, but when it was time to study, they were not sloppy at all. The children's learning is mainly supervised and tutored by Zhou Weiying, sometimes Zhou Ping will also come to help, Xiao Zhujing, Meng Shizhang, who is in primary school, not only has to review all the knowledge learned in school every day, but also has additional learning content, even if it is still in kindergarten Lu Qiurong, Lin Jin, every day also has a certain amount of learning time, now mainly to learn literacy, pinyin, simple calculations and other content. Under such strict requirements, Xiao Zhujing and Meng Shizhang's grades in school are among the best, and Lu Qiurong and Lin Jin are also excellent in kindergarten.

Today, Zhou Ping did not help Zhou Weiying tutor the children's studies, but listened to Qin Zheng in the bedroom about what Gao Shize entrusted him, and after Qin Zheng finished speaking, Zhou Ping not only smiled: "Fang Guizhi has also chatted with me a few times about this matter, in fact, Gao Jin is good at everything, it is a personal problem, it is a piece of their family's heart, and he is the old man and the old lady of the two families, and he is always thinking about it, if it can be matched for them this time, it is also a good thing." ”

Fang Guizhi is Gao Jin's aunt, now the Minister of Education, and Zhou Ping belongs to the same department of the Culture, Education and Health Committee, and is considered a colleague, because of their similar age, the two often chat together, and Zhou Ping also knows something.

Qin Zheng said: "I estimate that the probability of success this time should be not small, the two of them are not small, and there is not much room for choice, if someone pulls a line from it, it should not refuse." ”

Zhou Ping said: "Speaking of this, I think of it, there are not a few veterans who have not yet started a family, but I am afraid that there are still 4 or 500 people? "Zhou Ping is the Minister of Health, and in the Ministry of Health, he has the health records of each elder and his family, so that he can pay attention to and track the health problems of each elder and his family at any time, and treat them in a timely manner, so he knows the family situation of all the elders.

Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "Are there still so many people who have not yet started a family? If there are really 4 or 500 people, isn't there still nearly one tenth of them who have not yet started a family?"

Zhou Ping said: "I haven't counted the number of clubs, but there are indeed many people in my image who have not yet started a family, of course, some of them are older, and they don't want to start a family, but there must be a considerable number of people who are 3 or 40 years old, just like Gao Jin and Ouyang Longxing. Originally, I shouldn't have bothered about it, but I'm talking about it today, so I'll mention it to you. ”

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "If this is true, then it is really a big problem." I'll check it out tomorrow in the HR department. ”

Now East China is the general trend, such as the rising sun, the prospect is unlimited, so every veteran is a sought-after commodity in the marriage market, and there is no shortage of three wives and four concubines, the elders who hug the left and right, even if they are older, but it is really not difficult to start a family, except for the older female elders, of course. However, at the time of the crossing, the patriarchs were mainly male, and the age was generally young, less than 200 elders over the age of 40, and now it has only been 9 years since the crossing, it can be said that most of the patriarchs are in the right age, and there should not be so many patriarchs who have not yet started a family.

Whether or not the patriarchs will become a family is not only a personal issue, but also a major political issue, because it is related to the expansion of the entire patriarchal group. There are only more than 6,000 veterans in total, with the expansion of the territory of East China, only these 6,000 people are of course impossible to manage, it is necessary to introduce a large number of natives into the management, and now the veterans basically only hold middle-level management positions, grassroots, middle and lower levels, and even some middle-level managers are held by locals, and with East China ** At that time, not only the middle level, I am afraid that even the top level will also have local people, in fact, there are now local people into the high-level, such as Zhan Tianyou as the vice minister of the Ministry of Railways, Zhao Weizhong as a member of the Advisory Bureau, and this situation will inevitably increase in the future.

This situation has aroused the vigilance of many veterans, and also raised their own concerns, according to this development, whether the control of East China ** is still in the hands of the veterans, or whether the patriarchs will be hollowed out, but it is one thing to find a problem, and it is another thing to solve the problem, Bi Jing has only so many people, it is impossible to manage such a big place, without introducing locals into the management, East China ** will not be able to play at all.

In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of East China, some people realized that the crisis of the patriarchs was put forward 20 years later, they believed that with the great prestige brought by the founding of the country, even if the patriarchs were hollowed out by the natives at the grassroots and middle levels, they could still hold up the field, but whether the next generation of the patriarchs could still control the situation, it is difficult to say. Because they have no merit in the founding of the country, no experience in entrepreneurship, and no experience in the old time and space. And more importantly, there is a huge age gap between the elders and the next generation, after 20 years, the age of the elders is basically around 50 years old, and the next generation may not be able to take on the big responsibilities before they are 20 years old. Moreover, the base of the patriarch itself is too small, and the number of the next generation will not be too large, and the group advantage of the patriarchal group cannot be formed, so this is the biggest crisis of the patriarch.

Now the patriarchs have come to this era for 9 years, and East China has been established for 7 years, almost half of the time since the 20-year crisis, and the crisis is slowly emerging.

Of course, East China has long recognized this problem, so it has made many remedial measures, such as at the beginning of the establishment of East China, a large number of orphans were collected for training, and later the adoption system was implemented, all in order to expand the number of patriarchs. But there are still so many elders who have not yet started a family, that is, there is no next generation, which is naturally a major problem.
