The old lady hurriedly sent Xia Qiu out to find Xia Aiguo and Zhao Tiezhu. Xia Qiu didn't walk a few steps when he met his father and brother-in-law.

"Dad, brother-in-law, grandpa said to have a meeting. Grandma whispered to me just now, let me tell you when I see you, grandpa didn't say anything when he knew it, and said that the meeting was coming. ”

Although Xia Qiu is not like a curious baby Xia Dong, he likes to ask what he means, but he is also a little puzzled at this time. Everyone is mysterious, what's going on?

Xia Aiguo and Zhao Tiezhu glanced at each other, and they both understood in their hearts that this was to be voted and discussed. 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, standing or sitting.

Old man Xia first put the cigarette bag and pot on the edge of the kang and knocked on it, then looked up and looked around at everyone before he spoke: "Tiezhu, I just heard that Aiqin said that you came back this time, and you have something good to tell you, it just so happens that you are all in the house today, and there is nothing in your eldest brother's team, you can talk to your two brothers and sisters-in-law." ”

When Zhao Tiezhu heard this, the old man said this to help him round the field, so as not to provoke the eldest brother and sister-in-law. After all, they found the second brother first for this matter, which seemed a bit favoritism, he had already told Aiqin that this thing can't be done like this, don't do bad things with good intentions, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have opinions about them, hey!

"Two brothers and sisters-in-law, that's what happened. At the beginning of spring, we will recruit soldiers, it is still a very rare female soldier, there are only five places in our county, and it is estimated that the competition is very fierce. However, as long as you are still qualified after the recruit period, you will mainly work as a health soldier, a medical soldier, and a literary and artistic soldier in the future. The son of my father's old comrade-in-arms is in charge of our recruitment, and he gave me the news. At present, there is no written notice, and it is confidential. He came to see my father this time, and after I heard about it, I told him about our Xia Ling and Xia. He listened to the situation of the two children and thought it was quite good. I promised to make it convenient for us to help reserve a place. After all, it is not a mistake for the child to choose, and it is said that he will pay special attention to the investigation and investigation at that time. If you are qualified, among the five places in our county, you can leave one for us if you die. ”

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

Seeing Xia Ling's excited expression in the summer, she knew that in the matter of being a soldier, Sister Lingzi specified that she could not be humble. To be honest, she also wanted to be a soldier, but because of this, the sisters broke their heads, and Summer felt that it was better to forget it. If you can't stick to it for a few more years, you can work in the village first, and then wait for the university entrance examination.

Xia Aihua and Zheng Sancai were also very hot in their hearts after hearing this. Xia Aihua felt that if the second daughter could be a soldier, she would still be a rare female soldier, and he was the secretary of the brigade. Of course, the niece is also okay, and he is also beautiful.

And Zheng Sancai thinks that she can't let her second daughter be like her eldest sister anymore, and live that kind of unpleasant and sad life. I have to help my daughter get it, otherwise with the old man's eccentric eyes, it will be difficult for this matter to fall on Reiko's head.

Thinking like this, whoever stopped him had to speak, changed the image of being silent and silent in the past, and eagerly called Xia Xiaogu's sister-in-law: "Tiezhu, Qinzi, let's go to Xia Ling." It's still young in the summer, but there will be a chance in the future. Xia Ling is an older sister and older, so if you miss it, you really won't have a chance. When the sister-in-law begged you, and said that you don't look at anything else, just look at the face of me serving the old man for so many years, let Xia Ling go to this matter, and the second brother and sister have no opinion, right? ”

Xia Ling also nodded violently on the side, and promised: "Sister-in-law, uncle, I am stronger than Xia, I will be selected, and I will not embarrass you." ”

Old man Xia and the old lady never thought of this lady like this. He also used the excuse of supporting them and serving the elderly to block the mouths of his younger son and daughter. Thanks to two good things, if this is the matter of being a soldier, can the eldest and the second family still get along happily as before? For a moment, Zheng Sancai and Xia Ling were a little cold. glanced at Zhang Qiao's appearance of puffing Xia Wen again, and Xia Wen also stood there and stopped talking. Ay! What's going on? Before the son-in-law finished speaking, one by one's true nature was exposed.

Zhao Tiezhu was just about to speak, but Old Man Xia waved his hand to stop him first, and then looked at his eldest son Xia Aihua and asked, "Boss, do you think so too?" Have an attitude with your daughter-in-law? ”

Old man Xia's tepid questioning attitude made Xia still look at his grandfather a little worriedly. She opened her mouth to express that she wanted to tell Grandpa that there was no need to be angry about this, but Su Meili tugged at her hand and motioned her not to speak.

"Dad, it's a good thing for any of my nieces and nieces to be them. Reiko is stronger than Tiantian, can withstand army training and endure hardships or something, but Tiantian is more educated than Reiko. I didn't listen to my brother-in-law, I have to be a soldier after training. I listen to that meaning, no matter what kind of soldiers these kinds are, they have to be learned and understood by literate people. ”

After speaking, he scratched his head: "I'm also thinking, who is more likely to take the exam in the spring." If you can't just go, it's not difficult for your brother-in-law, if our child is really not selected, it won't make people make mistakes for our family. ”

Old man Xia breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the boss didn't disappoint him. Glancing at the eldest daughter-in-law's anxious face, he really wanted to hear what else she could say, and see what she, as a sister-in-law, did with her younger siblings and nieces. His wife tugged at his sleeve, he understood, the old woman was persuading him, persuading him to save some face for his eldest daughter-in-law, so many juniors were there, hey! That's it!

Motioning to the son-in-law to continue, he waited to see how the eldest daughter-in-law would change her face when she arrived.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Zhao Tiezhu secretly glanced at Xia Aiqin, wanting to find some hints from his daughter-in-law, specifically wanting to know which hints, he actually didn't know himself, he was used to looking at Xia Aiqin's face and acting well. But Xia Aiqin was expressionless.

You said that this is a trouble, if the two of them are not for the good life of the old Xia family, what are they doing with all this effort and stepping on people's feelings? If this matter is not handled well, it is easy to complain. Yes, he will follow the requirements of his father-in-law, what do you have to say! The way of talking around is not suitable for them either.

"Sister-in-law, there is another choice, you might as well listen to it before making a decision. The internal recruitment of workers in the county paper mill is only seven, and the children of cadres in the factory account for four places this time, and only three places remain. It is said that there is also a head-breaking competition in their factories, so I won't explain why I can get the quota, but to put it bluntly, I can ask for a quota to replace the share of the children of internal cadres. And the factory is profitable, you may have heard of it, there are also staff dormitories, the wages are also high, the work is not heavy, it is a regular national worker, and after the fifteenth year, he will be ready to go to work. ”

Zhao Tiezhu simply didn't talk nonsense. It's not easy to do this, no matter how people who understand it, they will understand, and no matter how thoroughly they say it, it's all in vain, and they still think that he should be shared.

Zhao Tiezhu was also a little dissatisfied with his sister-in-law for taking care of the elderly and telling them favors. In Zhao Tiezhu's opinion, the second brother Xia Aiguo's temperament is more suitable than the eldest brother to take over the position of the old man. Why did the old man pull the old man in the village and push the boss to the top position, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law really couldn't understand?

The sister-in-law only saw the eccentricity of the old man's summer. In fact, didn't you just have some food and drink? Why don't you count the fact that his father-in-law and mother-in-law give your family every year? The old man didn't eat your food in vain! Besides, how much does his daughter-in-law subsidize her mother's family! There is also a second sister-in-law, who never scheming and calculating the old man, and begging the old man to join them when he is in difficulty.

"This is good, this is good, this I will die, I will go." Xia Ling hurriedly changed her mind, as if she was afraid that others would force her to become a soldier.

Zheng Sancai also nodded anxiously and agreed: "Yes, yes." Our family is young, and only when she goes to the army like this can she develop, and if the army cultivates her, she will grow up, and it is good to be young. "Being a national worker in the county is better in their eyes than being a soldier. The first is that being a worker is as glorious as being a soldier, the second is that it is close to home, and there is something that can take care of one or two, and the third is that being a worker is not as hard as being a soldier, and I heard that being a soldier has to be trained or something. Although it sounds like you don't need to go to the battlefield by listening to the names of those soldiers, what if? Of course, the most important point is that you earn a lot as a worker, and you can go to work and earn money right away. The more Xia Ling thought about it, the happier she became, and she thought of the future, and she made money to buy cloth for herself to make beautiful clothes.

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