two kids may have special recruitment authority, but they were actually selected through the standard procedure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one can find fault with that, but can you give your brother a hint as to whether the regimental commander has any hidden intentions?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hanliang’s face was filled with amusement, “Division Commander, are you worrying a bit too much?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s well-intentioned, well-intentioned…” Liang Xiangyang said with an embarrassed smile, “I purely mean well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s about time the regimental commander had a wife.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you have the guts, go and say that to the regimental commander’s face.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could I do that?” Liang Xiangyang quickly shook his head, “Brother, you can’t let me down like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I didn’t consider you a brother, why would I say these things to you, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough, I won’t expose you in front of the regimental commander, rest assured…” Zhou Hanliang looked at him with disdain, “Do I come across as such a gossip in your eyes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no, it’s about preventing trouble before it happens, haha…” After glancing at the time, Liang Xiangyang sighed, “I need to hurry off now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Establishing such a large-scale mobile hospital is a nationwide first, and the leaders are taking it very seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, they suddenly issued a notification, summoning the preparatory staff to a meeting at the general military region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had to hand over all the home visit duties to Xiao Zeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I rushed back overnight, and when I was entering the division headquarters, I happened to meet the Division Commander leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After greeting him, I came straight to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How’s that for thoughtfulness?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thoughtful, very thoughtful…” Zhou Hanliang frowned slightly, “Is it appropriate for Zeng Meili to do the home visits by herself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a girl, couldn’t that be unsafe?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Xiangyang waved his hand dismissively, “Before I left, I notified the commune directors of each commune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whichever commune Xiao Zeng visits, that commune will assign two accompanying staff, one male and one female, for the home visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t worry, there won’t be any safety issues.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hanliang nodded, “In that case, it’s acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she gets too busy, there’s no need to visit Lin Chuxia and Luo Xiaoqiong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two kids won’t cause any trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll give Xiao Zeng a call later and tell her not to go to Dalin Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One less place to visit is still one less place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks, Old Zhou!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xiaodie, 18, from Little Shop Village of Red Flag Commune in Yunping County, father: Jiang Aiguo, mother: Lian Xiangcui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Qinqin, 19, from Xue Family Village of Red Flag Commune in Yunping

Xiaoxia Village of Red Flag Commune in Yunping County, father: Lin Weiguo, mother: Zhao Xiangxiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Shangmei, 19, from Xiaoxia Village of Red Flag Commune in Yunping County, father: Sun Qidong, mother: Liu Aimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This list consisted of the home address registration materials for the selected candidates from Red Flag Commune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeng Meili was reviewing it when Xue Ligang arrived with a sturdy black young man in his early twenties and a plump woman of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years: “Chief Zeng, these are Liu Yuqiang and Yang Xiaohui, who will accompany you for the home visits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are very familiar with the villages in this area.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeng Meili stood up politely, “Thank you, I have really troubled Director Xue too much during this period.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Ligang waved his hands repeatedly, “Not at all, not at all, we ought to do this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our Red Flag Commune can’t fall behind others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeng Meili’s gaze shifted to Liu Yuqiang and Yang Xiaohui, “It’s already half-past seven, shall we head out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” The two stood at attention, saluting in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeng Meili smiled, “No need to be so formal, I’ll be relying on you guys a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know anything about the villages around here, I’d probably get lost on my own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s our honor to assist Chief Zeng!” Liu Yuqiang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiaohui didn’t want to be outdone, “It’s our privilege to work with Chief Zeng!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These flatteries…, a slight twitch tugged at the corner of Zeng Meili’s mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thanked Xue Ligang again and led the way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take a look at the list and see in what order we could save some time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yuqiang took a look at the list for a while and suggested, “Let’s go to Xue Family Village first, then Little Shop Village, followed by Yin Family Village, Dalin Village, and finally Xiaoxia Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We should be able to cover it all in one day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeng Meili nodded, “Alright, let’s do as you suggest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three had just pushed their bicycles out the door when Xue Ligang came running out of breath, “Chief Zeng, Chief Zeng, wait a moment!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeng Meili turned around, puzzled, “Is there something else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chief Liang just called, saying you don’t have to visit the homes of Lin Chuxia and Luo Xiaoqiong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chief Liang said, he is familiar with those two families, so there’s no need to visit…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Xue, what’s wrong with you?” Zeng Meili looked puzzled at Xue Ligang, who seemed suddenly frozen, confused about what had stunned him mid-sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>no…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>nothing.” Xue Ligang quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiling with his face full of wrinkles, “I got a stitch in my side just now, it hurt, heh heh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeng Meili laughed, “Why are you running so fast?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if we’re gone, at worst, we would just have to visit a few more places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, we’ll decide based on the actual situation if we want to go to Lin Chuxia’s and Luo Xiaoqiong’s homes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>uh…” Xue Ligang responded woodenly, somewhat absent-minded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that he was still feeling unwell, Zeng Meili smiled and said, “Director Xue, you should go back and rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re leaving right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Ligang quickly said, “Have a safe trip.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.” Zeng Meili smiled and looked at Liu Yuqiang and Yang Xiaohui: “Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yuqiang, with facial muscles slightly trembling from excitement, smiled at Xue Ligang, “Director, we’re off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t worry, with us leading the way, Chief Zeng will definitely have a safe journey.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Ligang smiled and waved his hand at the group, “Go on, the sooner you leave, the sooner you’ll return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, I’ll make sure the canteen prepares something delicious for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Zeng Meili and the others disappear, Xue Ligang quickly returned to his office, gave some work instructions, then immediately mounted his bicycle and left the commune yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Luo family, the atmosphere was joyful and festive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At nine nineteen in the morning, the folks from Zhao’s house arrived at the Luo family compound with the bride price in tow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meiying is really lucky, look at all these preparations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’ve already brought so much just for the engagement, what will the wedding look like?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meiying is highly valued by her husband’s family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wish my daughter could find a husband’s family that values her this much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dream on, a good family like that isn’t easy to find.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red-covered oval bamboo baskets—four in total—and two square-shaped food containers, not to mention a brand new bicycle, left the onlookers gossiping about the array of colorful bridal gifts in the yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some initial pleasantries, male guests were seated in the east room and female guests in the west room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fat Auntie then took Zhao Yulan to the east room, “Yulan, it’s just an engagement, why have you prepared so much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the bicycle, it’s not even the wedding yet, why have you bought it already?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the will of my dad and mom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They said they are content with finding such a good daughter-in-law as Xiaoqiong and insisted that those be given to their future daughter-in-law, asking you to definitely accept them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hesitating for a moment, Fat Auntie said, “Yulan, we’re willing to marry into this family because we value the Zhao family’s character, not their wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People here think that less bride price means the bride won’t be valued in her new home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But we don’t care about such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ll accept the gifts for the engagement, but when it comes to the wedding, we won’t ask for a bride price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just make sure the wedding banquet is well-organized.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I’m happy, why shouldn’t I be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoqiong is such a good girl marrying Qiliang, how can we let her be slighted?” Zhao Yulan playfully scolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My older brother and sister-in-law only have Qiliang as their son, how could they not prepare properly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t worry about it, they will do what they can afford.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you two whispering about here?” Zhao Yucui came in smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yulan, without even looking at her, turned and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little sister!” Zhao Yucui grabbed hold of her, “Do you really believe what your second sister-in-law said?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you really think that Qiyan replaced Chuxia because of me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yulan didn’t say a word, but her facial expression clearly showed she believed just that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Fat Auntie quickly said, “You sisters chat slowly, I’m going outside to check if the helpers have arrived for cooking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We can’t miss the right timing for this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yucui smiled at Fat Auntie and tightened her grip on Zhao Yulan’s hand, “Little sister, do you think I’m capable of that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if I dislike you, I wouldn’t use such a method to get revenge, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yulan looked at her, “If you didn’t do it, why explain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something about this doesn’t sit right with me, really…” Zhao Yucui furrowed her brows, “Yes, I did something wrong to you, but not this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t want to tell you, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was off, so I decided to take this opportunity to tell you the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teaching position meant for Meifeng at eldest sister’s home should’ve been Chuxia’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was me who took the liberty of giving it to Meifeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My brother-in-law chewed me out when he found out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what’s done is done; the decision was final.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second sister-in-law somehow heard about it and threatened me, saying if I didn’t cooperate with her, she would tell you about it, so…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yulan said, baffled, “Why would my second brother-in-law arrange a teaching job for Chuxia?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t Baohe tell you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the New Year’s visit, he asked your brother-in-law for that favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I always thought you knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yulan, I’m in the wrong about this, but, but…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yulan scoffed, “But you couldn’t stand to see our family’s Chuxia benefiting from your influence, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Zhao Yucui nodded, “But this matter with the military enlistment, it really wasn’t my doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if I wanted to do it, I wouldn’t have had the means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little sister, you should be able to figure this out if you think about it a little, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand.” Zhao Yulan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little sister…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yulan frowned at her, “Do you have anything else to say?” (To be
