"You, you, you unfilial son!" Wang Guizhang was so frustrated he almost fainted, and after much effort, he managed to curse out this sentence.
Guo Zhanrong was so embarrassed he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
He suddenly stood up and grabbed Wang Guizhang to walk out. Wang Guizhang was still resisting, unwilling to leave, and Wang Lianqi also stepped forward, supporting from one side with Guo Zhanrong, carrying him out.
Wang Guizhang still wanted to shout, but out of nowhere, a small stone flew over and hit him on the back with a ’smack.’ He suddenly went limp as if he had no strength, unable to struggle or even shout.
"Big brother, you and Uncle Zhanrong co back quickly, my dishes will be ready soon." Wang Liansheng leisurely sent them to the door with a reminder.
Guo Zhanrong was too embarrassed to speak, thinking, after all this, how can I still face them again? Decades of friendship, all gone on this trip.
Wang Lianqi originally had things to do, so he couldn’t just leave; he only said, "You all eat first, I’ll co back after settling Uncle Zhanrong."
This was even sothing that even the second uncle, Wang Guizhang, didn’t want to ntion anymore, he directly passed it with the word ’they.’
With the annoying people gone, Ling Chengyan and Wang Liansheng turned back, and Wang Liansheng apologized with a face full of guilt: "I’m sorry."
They lived in a residential area for division staff, with neighbors all being district officials and their families, and the bad influence was mostly on his wife’s side. Reaching her achievents today wasn’t easy, he could see it, and it hurt him too.
He genuinely felt guilty for what happened today. Wang Guizhang was, after all, his father.
But Ling Chengyan was still calm, showing no signs of having been angry just now.
She waved a hand and said, "Sotis, you can’t be afraid of losing face, otherwise people will bully you more, and enough is never enough for so."
Wang Liansheng looked into his wife’s eyes, nodded, and pulled up a smile again: "I made braised ribs and vinegar-braised fish, they will be ready soon, go buy so stead buns and bring Shi Tou back."
Ling Chengyan listened carefully, took the shoulder bag off her shoulder and hung it inside, then turned and went out.
Ling Chengyan first picked up little Shi Tou, then holding her son’s little hand, went to the canteen to buy stead buns.
Little Shi Tou, with his short legs, naturally walked slowly, and kept stopping to study the ant nests under the trees, or chased the grasshoppers in the roadside grass, like a playful puppy, walking even slower.
Ling Chengyan carried his small schoolbag, patiently following behind her son, not urging when little Shi Tou got distracted; she silently waited for the mischievous boy to play a while before carrying on.
The mother and son dawdled to the canteen in the compound, taking nearly half an hour to walk just a few hundred ters.
Ling Chengyan returned ho a bit early; with this dawdling, everyone else also got off work and headed to the canteen.
"Company Commander Ling, not cooking at ho today, buying food huh?" Liu Caixia, Sister Liu’s voice ca from behind.
"Just got off work, Sister." Ling Chengyan turned and greeted with a smile, "Old Wang is cooking at ho, saying the kids are tired from exams, making a few more dishes, so he sent to buy stead buns."
"Chief Wang is really thoughtful, even rembers the kids’ exams." Liu Caixia praised with a smile.
Ling Chengyan nodded modestly, "He thinks more thoroughly than I do. By the way, their elder cousin is also coming, saying the kids finished their exams, and there’s good news to tell them..."
"You guys are really close with your cousins, even closer than so real brothers." Liu Caixia said with a smile.
Ling Chengyan also laughed but sighed, "When I was at ho, it was thanks to uncle, aunt, and the cousins for taking care of . Back when I attended the commune training and the county district competition, the two kids stayed with my aunt, with them taking care of them."
Liu Caixia nodded, "That’s really nice."
Talking to this point was enough, so Ling Chengyan bought the stead buns, carrying them in one hand and holding little Shi Tou with the other, easily went ho.
The children ca ho from school, but Wang Lianqi still hadn’t returned. Wang Liansheng set aside a portion of the food, then the family sat around and began to eat.
Ling Chengyan also bought several bottles of orange soda, handing them to the kids while happily asking about their exams, including Hongling.
Not wanting to make her nervous imdiately after the exam, now everyone discussed their exam experiences, and Hongling talked confidently about her exam, "I felt it was easier than the usual practice questions; I answered almost everything."
Hearing this, Wang Liansheng and Ling Chengyan exchanged a glance and both showed a hint of joy.
The children chattered on, while the two of them didn’t interject much, quietly listening was enough.
After eating and drinking to their fill, Ling Chengyan gave the kids a holiday, letting them go out to play or watch TV. The kids scattered with cheers, Hongling and Xiaoyu went out to get a haircut, while the younger ones ran out to find their buddies to play with.
Wang Liansheng also said he had sothing to do and went out, leaving only Ling Chengyan at ho.
Today, at last, the notice ca down: each unit (company) voluntarily submits letters of application, then fifty people are selected from among those who submit letters, and these are incorporated into the mixed units of each district before heading to the Southern Border.
With no one else at ho, Ling Chengyan took out pen and paper and began to write the letter of application.
The letter of application is just about expressing an attitude, no need for lengthy prose, so it took only a short ti for Ling Chengyan to finish writing.
She gave it a glance to ensure there were no typos, folded it neatly, and put it into her shoulder bag.
Before submitting it, she didn’t want anyone else to see it.
After a bit of thought, she picked up the pen again and started writing a letter. This letter was to be written after her application was approved, but she was determined to participate, so she wrote it in advance.
The letter was for Wang Liansheng, without any last words, just saying she was determined to enlist and asking him to forgive her selfishness.
After a few lines, she found she had nothing more to say.
Holding it, she sat in a daze for a few minutes, then sighed and put away the unfinished letter too.
It was just a coincidence that as she put away the paper and pen and stood up, Wang Liansheng returned from outside.
Ling Chengyan went out, seeing his calm face as he walked in, and smiled, "The kids are done with exams, tomorrow when you have ti, let’s buy that electric fan I liked."
The house already had a TV and refrigerator, and with the weather getting hot, so families added electric fans, not very big ones on the table, but enough for a continuous breeze, saving the effort of waving a hand fan.
Wang Liansheng nodded, and added, "I didn’t have ti to tell you, our unit is increasing staff, the housing is seriously insufficient, and they are planning to build a family housing estate."
"Are they going to allocate apartnts?" In this era, most people had to wait for state units to allocate housing, and getting new housing was indeed a big event.
Wang Liansheng nodded, and because of his wife’s happiness, the smile on his face grew broader.
