is not 100% sure of the news, Qiao Nan generally does not disclose it to his family, including the choice of career, and every promotion. He only told his wife about the possible assignment this time, and did not tell his family.

Qiao Jianjun still has a trace of illusion, that is, his son may be sent to the embassy or consulate as a military attaché, after all, his son is young, he is a two-bar and two-star officer, and this achievement is not something that ordinary people can achieve. But Wen Jing told him that he could only apply for embassies and consulates abroad with two more stars, and at least one more before he could apply for the post of military attache in certain countries.

Qiao Nan worked very hard, but he was very soberly aware that if he added two more stars at most, he might be at the peak of his career. The height of a star, he didn't dare to think about it.

Qiao Jianjun is full of confidence in his son: "It is said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier." Qiao Nan is capable and willing to work hard, why don't you dare to think about the general? In my eyes, he is a material to be a general!"

Wen Jing said: "It's not that I dare not think about it, but I know that it is too difficult!"

Jolene already knew that the "star" that impressed her back then was the general. But she couldn't understand why there was only one star left, and the level was so high. She asked her family this question, and Li Lanzhi said helplessly: "Go back and let Xiucai give you popular science, he knows everything." ”

Since it is not to go to the embassy or consulate, then the possibility of peacekeeping is very high. As early as 2010, in the year when Qiao Nan was injured, he had the opportunity to be sent out, but he was delayed due to injury. At that time, the news was not completely confirmed, and he did not tell his family. It wasn't until the injury was about to heal that he told Qiao Lu, and his family knew.

At that time, his military rank was not so high, and he missed the opportunity to be sent abroad, and his family felt sorry for him. But five years have passed, and those regrets have slowly faded away, not to mention that he still has a family and a lovely son, if he is sent abroad at this time, what should his family do?

Old Qiao's expression became solemn: "This has a family and a mouth, how can the boss bear to let him go?"

Li Lanzhi was also sad: "But wearing this military uniform, there are only two words 'obedience' in his world, what can we do?"

Qiao Lu said casually: "It's not just him, but the diplomat also says that he will be sent, and there is always someone who has to pay for these things." ”

The family members looked up at her in unison and looked at her with some surprise. Qiao Lu covered it up well and said: "It doesn't have to be the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the expatriates from major universities and government agencies are also waiting for the opportunity to be dispatched, and once the opportunity comes, they will go to all over the world." ”

Qiao Lin blinked and said, "Sister, you won't be the one to find out for me, right?" However, I have no intention of taking the civil service exam, and it is even more impossible for me to be admitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”

Qiao Lu patted her on the shoulder: "What I heard when I chatted with the teachers of your department didn't specifically inquire about you, don't be pressured!"

Qiao Jianjun drank two glasses of wine, and the gloom on his face became thicker and thicker. Li Lanzhi persuaded him not to drink, and he also came with a wave of ridicule by the way: "When he graduated from college, you still tried to prevent him from going to the training camp, now you can stop it and try to see if you can prevent him from going abroad." ”

Li Lanzhi's old face turned red and slapped her husband: "If you talk nonsense again, beware of me beating you." ”

The whole family was very worried, only the little commander was still carefree, and he didn't know what would happen at home. In the evening, his father made a video with him, and he was very happy to shout "Dad". If he was really separated from his father for more than a year, would he still remember his father?

When I think of this, I don't feel good in my heart.

Qiao Nan didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, and since his family knew about it, he told the truth: "It stands to reason that we don't need to send people from our unit this time, but I have been abroad and received visiting foreign troops, so the leaders know my English level...... I'm still waiting for the exact news, if I do, it's only a year and a half, and time flies quickly. ”

The family was still expressing their worries, and Qiao Lu received another WeChat message: "I used to be in Japan, and every spring, the weather forecast would give the flowering dates of various places to facilitate the people to enjoy the flowers." But our country is vast, the flowering period is different in various places, even if the north is cold now, there are still flowers in the south. I wanted to argue with you, but now I'll let you give the answer, and then I think, don't give you the impression of messing around, I'll wait for the spring flowers in Beijing to bloom. In the past, the plum blossoms began to bloom from mid-February, and I would invite you to the mountain temple to enjoy the flowers. I wish I were still in Beijing at that time. ”

Qiao Lu turned off her phone and supported her forehead with both hands.

Qiao Nan took the opportunity to get rid of his family's questioning and asked, "Sister, are you okay, why do you suddenly have a headache?"

"It's okay, but I received a message from a colleague, I'm afraid I have to go back to Beijing early. ”

As soon as the words came out, Qiao Lu also felt a little remorseful, this year was too lax, she really should have gone back to write her thesis early. When I think about it carefully, I blame that person for upsetting her and disrupting her original pace.

When she heard that her sister was going back to work, Jolene became nervous. On the eve of the Spring Festival, she sent New Year's text messages to her tutor with trepidation, for fear that Rhubarb would ask her how the progress of her thesis was. Fortunately, Rhubarb was also busy with the New Year, and she was not embarrassed. Soon after returning to the first draft, Jolene was so sad that if she had half the research ability of her brother and sister, she would not worry about the paper.

The day after Wen Jing came back, Baoqing was about to take the night train and leave. After the Chinese New Year, Baoqing went back to his hometown with his parents, and before leaving home, he came back to say goodbye to relatives and friends in Hong Kong City. That day, the whole family got together for dinner, and the sister-in-law said a little melancholy: "This year, send away a wave, usher in a wave, and this will soon have to send away another wave...... I don't know who I'll be able to greet back next time. ”

Baoqing lowered his head and didn't speak, it could be seen that he was also very sad, and he didn't know when he would come back next time and how long he could stay. Qiao Lin heard her aunt ask if she could ask Qiao Nan to help and transfer Baoqing back to Hong Kong City in the future. They are just such a son, and they can't go too far, and they can't bear it.

This question is very difficult to answer, and the old couple of the Qiao family are also very embarrassed, and finally Li Lanzhi said: "This still depends on Baoqing's meaning! If he has the ability to stay in the big city, if you call him back, then he will not be happy!"

"Baoqing doesn't like to talk, and I don't know what he thinks. With this condition, my family must not be able to afford a house in a big city. It's all up to Baoqing alone, and he's too tired. I've ever wondered, did he see the big world outside, so he hated me and his dad for not being capable?"

Baoqing shouldn't be that kind of child, thinking that he has relied on Qiao Lin since he was a child, Li Lanzhi asked Qiao Lin to probe the mouth. So, entrusted by her mother, Jolene inquired sideways. Baoqing said that his first goal is to get his doctorate as soon as possible, and then enter a particularly × hospital, first to gain a firm foothold, and then to consider starting a family.

In fact, Baoqing's idea was very clear, and Qiao Lin didn't know why he was hiding it from his family, Baoqing said shyly: "They will definitely let me look for a job first, then find a partner, and then think about something else, then it will be completely opposite to the order I planned." ”

"Then why do you think that?"

"I want my dad to live a few more years. Baoqing said in a low voice: "I know it can't be cured, but I will try to prolong his life." Therefore, I have to follow a very good mentor and come up with more results. ”

Qiao Lin was stunned, Baoqing, who didn't seem to communicate much with her father, was actually more concerned about her father's health than anyone else.

"But, sister, you have to keep it a secret for me, don't let my family know. If I don't make it, they'll be looking forward to it. ”

"Don't worry, your sister has a tight mouth!" Qiao Lin hugged him and joked: "If you really wait until you get a firm foothold and then start a family, then you will really become an uncle!"

"What's that? Isn't that second brother-in-law, that is, the object of Sister Min Jia, also in his thirties to get married?" Baoqing said calmly: "My parents are so hard, but my family is still so poor. Every time I have dinner with friends, I have a lot of stress. Before I became completely self-reliant, I didn't have the capital to fall in love, and there should be no girl who wanted to suffer with me. ”

Qiao Lin was stunned, it turned out that Baoqing thought so far-reachingly, and he was still sensible and distressing. Qiao Lin decided to keep it a secret for him, so when reporting to her mother, Qiao Lin simply said: "Baoqing should have his own plans, but like my brother, he won't say it until the last moment." ”

On the night of bidding farewell to Baoqing, my grandmother was very sad and kept telling something. Baoqing still lowered his head, his expression was indifferent, and he only said that he remembered it. Grandma finally said, "Even if you don't come back, don't forget grandma!"

Baoqing still smiled faintly: "How can you forget?"

It just so happened that the commander also saw it, and as soon as Grandma finished the operation, Jolene would go back to school. In fact, Grandma had already driven her away, but Jolene stubbornly accompanied her. Especially when Baoqing is gone again, the old man doesn't say it, but he must be sad in his heart.

After her uncle and aunt left, her grandmother stayed at her aunt's house, and Min Jia often bought some fruits and snacks to go back to see her grandmother. One day, Qiao Lin went with her, and Min Rou happened to send her a voice, and Min Jia said that her grandmother's eyes were not good, and she would have to have surgery in a few days, so she went home to see her.

When she arrived at the door, Min Jia was suddenly unhappy, Qiao Lin asked her what happened, and Min Jia said truthfully: "I told Min Rou about my grandmother's situation, but she didn't seem to hear the voice I sent, and she didn't say a word of concern for grandma." Or let me buy her sheet music and send it to her. ”

Min Rou has no feelings for her grandmother, for her, her grandmother is just a countryman who has sent her a few crumpled sour apricots, she doesn't see it in her eyes at all, and it is impossible to remember it. Qiao Lin had been mentally prepared, but Min Jia seemed to be very sad: "Min Rou...... Her human touch is really getting weaker and weaker. I wonder if she still treats us as family."

Qiao Lin comforted: "Min Rou still has this family in her heart, but she doesn't have any feelings for her grandmother." ”

Min Jia doesn't know what to say, Min Rou is her grandmother's granddaughter, why is she not as good as Wen Jing and her grandmother?
