Zhang Wuyang's clay sculpture and wood sculpture generally stood in place and did not move, his eyes staring blankly at the instructor.

Retired? He was discharged!

Zhang Wuyang has never linked the word "discharged" to himself. Even though he has been doing nothing for these years, knowing that he may be difficult to make progress, he never thought of leaving the army. He always thought that he would be in the army. work until retirement. When he joined the army at the age of sixteen, he had already regarded the army as his home, more like home than the home in Nanqiaogou that he loved and hated.

Moreover, this trip back to his hometown has rekindled his hope for the future. Although he still doesn't know how to take advantage of Zhang Sitian's foresight, he feels that he can definitely turn the tide against the wind, just as Zhang Sitian described. , To become a teacher with real power, this is the life he should have. But he didn't have time to do anything. He was actually discharged from the army and left the army. How could he become a division commander?

"Instructor, please help me, I really don't want to leave the army, I joined the army at the age of sixteen, and I can't do anything but join the army." Zhang Wuyang wiped his face, his eyes were red, and his tone was pleading.

The instructor is also not uncomfortable: "Wuyang, if you can help me, I can help you, but I really can't help it. This is the result of the decision made by the leaders above based on various circumstances. It has been decided. Wuyang, you are still young and left. The army can start all over again, and there is a lot to do in the local area. After changing jobs, it may be better to develop than in the army."

How could he be better than the army? He could become a division commander only if he stayed in the army. If he left the army, what could he do? He really didn't know what he could do. Moreover, the more different the reality and the future Zhang Sitian experiences, the less advantage Zhang Sitian has.

"Instructor, is there really no other way, it must be me?" Zhang Wuyang's eyes were painful.

The instructor couldn't bear to look away: "I can't help it. The list has been drawn up and only waiting to be announced. Now it's too late to change it."

Zhang Wuyang's cheek muscles drooped, his face full of ashes.

The instructor patted Xiazhang Wuyang's shoulder heavily, "Don't be like this, it's like the end of the world, you don't want to go to Longtan Tiger's Den when you transfer to a local area. Many of our comrades went to the local area, and the development is also very good. You Do you still remember Captain Song, they are all police chiefs now." The instructor racked his brains to comfort Zhang Wuyang, and finally said, "There are several positions here, see which one you like or what requirements you have, you can put it forward, Organizationally try to be satisfied.”

Zhang Wuyang didn't like anything, he liked being a soldier, but his likes were worthless. At this moment, Zhang Wuyang couldn't help but think, if he hadn't divorced Du Aihua, would he face retiring from the army and change his career? No, as long as he doesn't want to retire, no one will let him retire. If there is no divorce, he is now the company commander.

The two years of depression and disappointment have long made Zhang Wuyang understand what it means to divorce him and Du Aihua, and it is even more clear at this moment.

Do you regret it? Of course regret it, but it's too late.

In the end, the powerless Zhang Wuyang accepted his fate and chose the Security Section of the Municipal Agricultural Machinery Factory to become an ordinary worker. With no background, no meritorious service, and a low rank, a good job transfer position cannot be his turn at all.

After completing the formalities for retiring from the ar and changing jobs, Zhang Wuyang returned to Nanqiaogou with his luggage on his back. The villagers were stunned, didn't it take a long time to leave, why did they come back? Chen Jinhua has an accident again, haven't heard of it.

"Wuyang, didn't you return to the army?" Zhang Wuyang's cousin Zhang Youtian, the third son of Zhang Erbo's family, called Zhang Wuyang.

"I changed careers." Zhang Wuyang's tone was casual. Retirement is an established fact. He doesn't say it. In the future, outsiders will know sooner or later. It's more embarrassing to keep things secret.

Zhang Youtian was taken aback: "Change careers, you are not a soldier!"

Talking about Zhang Youtian, even the villagers who were working nearby were surprised when they heard the words, and looked at Zhang Wuyang in doubt.

Zhang Wuyang smiled bitterly: "In this situation at home, how can I feel at ease as a soldier, I'd better come back after thinking about it."

"You, you, ah you." Zhang Youtian shook his head helplessly, feeling that this cousin had really suffered from bad luck for eight lifetimes, and Chen Jinhua, a worry-free mother. I also felt that Chen Jinhua, the auntie, had accumulated virtue in the past life and found such a filial son.

Zhang Wuyang smiled: "third brother, you are busy, I will go home first."

Zhang Wuyang raised his feet and left, leaving a place of sighing.

"Chen Jinhua has a good life and raised such a filial son."

"Wuyang is stupid, a good soldier is not right, how will the family live in the future?"

"Didn't you say it? Changed careers, and the army arranged jobs."

"What kind of work?"

"Who knows, anyway, if there is a job and a salary, it must be better than us. Chen Jinhua has a good life, and he has a good son."

"She is lucky, but his son is unlucky."

"Hey hey hey, it's fragrant and stinky. It's good that the mother and son don't live together. I've lived together for a long time. Look at Erhe. Home. If you want me to say that Wuyang will regret it sooner or later, it’s just that Chen Jinhua’s wife can’t bear the virtues of what they can do.”

When everyone thinks about it, it really makes sense. Chen Jinhua's delicious and lazy dishes are famous in the whole village. The house was in a mess, and as long as he didn't starve to death, he would not do any extra work. So far, he was unwilling to work to earn work points. The work on the private plot was very perfunctory, and he lived on Zhang Wuyang's five dollars.

As for Zhang Sitian, everyone agreed that she was spoiled by Chen Jinhua, and that a nine-year-old girl was not as capable as a five- or six-year-old baby.

Chen Jinhua was paralyzed on the bed and couldn't move, Zhang Sitian would cry, and a little help couldn't help. Before Zhang Wuyang came back, Dou Guihua, the eldest daughter-in-law of Zhang Erbo's family, was taking care of him. Zhang Sitian has no eyesight at all, not to mention helping Dou Osmanthus to take care of her mother, but also waiting for Dou Osmanthus to take care of herself, putting the dirty clothes there for Dou Osmanthus to wash, making Dou Osmanthus very angry.

In Dou Guihua's words: "I came here with kindness and kindness. They are good mothers and daughters, and they treat me as a servant. My daughter will help me dry clothes and set fire to the fire when she is six years old. This little sister-in-law in the next room is good, and I serve her mother and her. I just watched, but I didn’t know how to help me to do the laundry. Is this my sister-in-law or my grandfather. For such a big person, I can’t wash a few clothes. My aunt also said that her daughter has never washed clothes. Let me wash my hands."

Dou Guihua is not used to this problem. Chen Jinhua is paralyzed and unable to move. Zhang Sitian is only nine years old. But she's here to help, not to be a servant, so I can't let her do everything. A nine-year-old who can't make a fire is barely able to cook. Cooking requires skills. What skills do you need to do laundry, just rub it twice in water, and children of five or six years old can do it. No way, it's just lazy.

Anyway, Dou Osmanthus didn't help with the washing. She delivered two meals a day, and occasionally turned over for Chen Jinhua. As for the laundry and feces and urine, let Zhang Sitian do it by herself. It's like this at home, and it's so delicate. That's not pampering children, it's harming children.

After Zhang Wuyang came back, Zhang Wuyang did most of the housework, and Zhang Sitian started it. In this way, Chen Jinhua was still distressed enough. If it wasn't for the losses of the past few years, Chen Jinhua could make Zhang Wuyang do all the housework. Eating a cut grows wisdom, Chen Jinhua did not dare to call his son to death, but could only watch his baby daughter stumbling and learning to do housework, and her small hands were soaked in ice water in winter, and they were frostbitten.

When Zhang Wuyang wanted to go back to the army, Chen Jinhua couldn't help it, and said that she would ask another person to help take care of herself. It took her a long time to support her for a hundred days, but Dou Guihua was unwilling to take care of her, and Zhang Wuyang said she was willing to give money. My aunt Bai was reluctant to take care of her, and she took money to take care of her.

Zhang Wuyang can only agree to hire someone, but not if he doesn't agree, he will have to support him for several months, and Zhang Sitian said that he is in his twenties, but he doesn't understand how to take care of him. If no one is invited to cook and wash clothes, the mother and daughter can be buried to death.

This time when Zhang Wuyang came back, he met Aunt Zhao who he had invited to cook.

Both Aunt Zhao and Chen Jinhua were very surprised to see Zhang Wuyang, especially Chen Jinhua: "Why are you back?"

Zhang Wuyang said that I changed jobs to work in an agricultural machinery factory in the city.

Chen Jinhua was shocked: "Change career, why do you change career so well? You have to stay in the army." She was still dreaming that her son would become a senior officer, and she was proud of herself. Besides, that Lu Xing's family is so powerful, then their family can't be too bad, otherwise Tiantian's waist will not be straight.

Zhang Wuyang's face darkened and he was silent.

"Is it the ghost of the Jiang family, their central bank will deal with you." Chen Jinhua has a conspiracy theory, and this time she was thinking about the golden thigh snatched by the Jiang family.

Not to prevent Chen Jinhua from being so quick-witted, Zhang Wuyang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No, there is no need for it, and they don't have the ability."

"They don't have it, Lu Xing has it, the Xie family has it." Chen Jinhua plausibly said.

Zhang Wuyang thinks it is unlikely. He has inquired that his entry into the military discharge list was probably decided years ago. If he had known earlier, he might have been able to avoid it by going around, but he took leave to go home. Zhang Wuyang glanced at Chen Jinhua, who was cursing the Jiang family. Seriously, he was delayed by family affairs.

From the time he divorced Du Aihua to the time he was discharged from the army, if it wasn't for his mother... A burst of bitterness filled his mouth, Zhang Wuyang stopped thinking about it and couldn't think about it any more, he was afraid that he would turn around and leave.

After greeting the eighteenth generations of the Jiang family's ancestors, Chen Jinhua took a sigh of relief and asked Zhang Wuyang with a sad face: "You have left the army, what will you do in the future?"

Zhang Wuyang didn't know either, so he said in an angry voice, "Let's take a step by step."

Chen Jinhua's eyes darkened, and she was very flustered. There is no good news today. No, no, yes, her sweetness has foreseen the future. She knew that three years would mean wealth and prosperity, and her sweetness knew fifteen years ago, and she would definitely be rich and noble in the future.

Zhang Sitian, who came home from school, was also a little flustered when she was told the bad news of Zhang Wuyang's transfer. She understands the truth of missing a thousand miles. The more changes, the more different the reality and what she experienced. What will the future look like? Will their family get better? And Lu Xing?

Zhang Sitian bit her lip, her eyes full of panic.

Chen Jinhua felt pain in her eyes, hugged her daughter and coaxed: "Tiantian, don't be afraid, with mother and fifth brother here, you just go to school, no matter what, we still have you, you will definitely be admitted to university in the future. "

In college, Zhang Sitian was relieved, yes, she will be admitted to college, she can help her family, and she can go to Beijing to find Lu Xing. Even Chen Jinhua relaxes, her daughter will be a college student, no matter how hard or tired it is, it will only take a few years.

Zhang Wuyang went to the Municipal Agricultural Machinery Factory to report. Because he was far from home, he was assigned a dormitory. The work of the Security Section is very simple and boring. It is to maintain law and order in the factory and patrol the factory most of the time. Although Zhang Wuyang is a team leader, there is no essential difference in the work content of his team members.

The boring work content made Zhang Wuyang very depressed, and the whole person seemed a little listless. What hit him even more was that a few days later, he found that the second and sixth of the Jiang family were both in the factory.

He knew that the Jiang siblings were working as workers in the city, but he really didn't know that they were working in the agricultural machinery factory. If he knew, he would definitely not choose this job.

Now Zhang Wuyang is embarrassed. He is embarrassed, but Jiang Min and Jiang Laoliu are not embarrassed. It's the same as Zhuangshan. Whoever is ugly is embarrassed. If you leave them alone, whoever is down and out will be embarrassed.

Jiang Min is already the deputy secretary of the labor union, and her husband, Dai Guoan, is an engineer whose factory manager has to give up three points.

Jiang Laoliu is the head of the workshop, and his wife is a teacher in the kindergarten attached to the factory.

Jiang Min looked Zhang Wuyang up and down, and smiled: "Isn't this Wuyang, I heard that there is a retired platoon leader in the security department, so it's you. How can you be discharged at such a young age?"

Her mother's eldest brother and fifth brother are both in the army. Do you know what it is like to be discharged from the army and transferred to another job? Except for the chiefs who have been discharged from the army, they are voluntary, and they are also in high jobs when they transfer to the local area. Most of the others have no way out in the army. Had to retire.

Zhang Wuyang smiled reluctantly without saying a word.

Jiang Min smiled: "How about it, are you still used to your current work?"

"I'm used to it." Zhang Wuyang replied.

Jiang Min looked at him and saw that this spirit was not like a habit.

"Sister and brother, these big bags and small bags, what a good thing." Loud laughter came from far to near.

Jiang Min raised her head and said with a smile, "Senior Xu." It was the Chief of the Security Section who came.

"My sister sent two sets of clothes and food to the child, and my Laoliu will help me to mention it." Both children have children, and there is a heavy ham in the food, and Jiang Laoliu is a coolie.

"The college student's sister has sent something good again." Section Chief Xu expressed his envy, even if he is capable, he is still good to his family, so why not envy him.

"Tell her not to send it, there is no shortage of things at home, she prefers to send it." Jiang Min said complaining, but her face was full of smiles.

In the early years, this younger sister had the most miserable life. It was her who helped her sister. Her in-laws inevitably had some opinions. Fortunately, her in-laws were kind, and she didn't make her face fat. Close one eye.

Later, my sister divorced and stood up on her own. In turn, she helped her. At first, it was the prey that was hit, hare and pork, and slowly things got better and better. Her parents-in-law became more and more kind to her, and when her younger siblings were admitted to college, they would be even more kind. Especially last year, my sister came to the factory to find her. She happened to help her husband solve a technical problem. She also helped her husband get to know her professor. Finally, the factory reached a cooperative relationship with Provincial City University. As the project leader, her husband has a good status , The in-laws are not too kind to her, they are good to their daughters.

"Show off, you can show off." Chief Xu pointed at Jiang Min, who was stunned, before explaining his intention, "Do you still have that medicinal wine? My dad drank it all, and he was cut off for two days, and he couldn't sleep well at night. already."

"The two jars have been drunk. It's only been a long time. This medicinal wine is not good for drinking too much." Jiang Min said.

Section Chief Xu waved his hand, "No, the other altar asked my father-in-law to take it away. My father-in-law came to my house for dinner, had a drink, and took the jar away before leaving, which made my old man feel bad enough."

Jiang Min laughed: "I'm gone, wait a minute, I'll call back and ask my fourth son to send two altars over."

"Two altars are not enough, eight altars, my father and my husband need two each, and the remaining four altars I plan to send to relatives."

Jiang Min said, "Then I have to ask if there are so many. You know, my mother's family's medicinal wine is in short supply, and the fourth of my family is busy with opening a factory for a while now, so I don't care much about making wine."

Section Chief Xu was surprised: "The factory is about to open, the winery."

Jiang Min glanced at Zhang Wuyang and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I met an overseas Chinese who, like you, also liked the medicinal wine from my mother's family. I thought it would sell well, so I cooperated with my mother's family to open a factory."

"It must be easy to sell, the taste is good, and the effect is corrected. When this factory is established, your family is going to make a fortune." Chief Xu gave a thumbs up and smiled again, "It will be convenient for me to buy wine in the future."

"Lend your auspicious words." Jiang Min said with a smile.

Section Chief Xu glanced at Zhang Wuyang from the corner of his eyes, and introduced by the way, "This is our new comrade, Zhang Wuyang."

"No need to introduce, get to know me." Jiang Min smiled but didn't smile.

Section Chief Xu patted his head, "Yes, you are all from Pingyao County. Xiaozhang, why didn't you tell Secretary Jiang earlier?"

Zhang Wuyang looked stiff.

Section Chief Xu looked at Jiang Min and then at Zhang Wuyang, and finally realized that something was wrong. This was not a fellow, but a hatred.

"I'm ashamed to say that, when my sister and his brother divorced, they both bleed." Jiang Min gave a fake smile, but it wasn't them who were ugly, "but I am very grateful to their family. , If it wasn't for their family forcing my sister into a corner, she could only go out and fight, how could my sister have a good life today."

Section Chief Xu opened his mouth wide enough to fit a goose egg, and looked at Zhang Wuyang incredulously.

Jiang Hui's mother-in-law Jiang Min said those things. Jiang Min had to have a reason to help her sister. She didn't hide it from the old lady, and she added fuel to the miserable and pitiful things Jiang Hui said. The old lady was quite sympathetic to Jiang Hui's encounter with a superb mother-in-law and husband, so she turned a blind eye to her daughter-in-law's helping behavior, and would chat with the neighbors in her spare time.

Later, when Jiang came back, got divorced, worked, went to college, made a fortune, and repaid their family in return, the old lady was even more happy to talk about it, how inspirational and happy! The experience of daughter-in-law and sister is more important than that in TV dramas. Once talk about it, will know it even if talk about it.

Section Chief Xu was also popularized by his wife in this section, and he also met Jiang Gui himself. It was Jiang Gui who accompanied the professor to the agricultural machinery factory to debug the equipment. She was very young, beautiful, and temperamental. She was also very capable. She was able to talk freely with the old professor and several big engineers in the factory. The words you understand are especially profound.

At that time, he thought, the girl's ex-husband and ex-in-law are so lame, and they don't cherish such an excellent daughter-in-law and force them away, no wonder the back is so down.

Section Chief Xu glanced at Zhang Wuyang. It turned out that he was the youngest son of the Zhang family who sent all his salary to his mother and was kicked by his wife with a background. Disrespectful and disrespectful. What does this person think? The old lady should support it, but the wife and children should also be supported. You can't just let the old husband take care of your wife and children just because he is rich. That's not a soft meal.

Zhang Wuyang just felt like a thorn in his back.

Section Chief Xu realized that it was inappropriate to stare at others like this, so he narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Min with a dry laugh.

Jiang Min also smiled, "Then I'll go home first, go back and ask my fourth brother, I'll give you a letter."

"Okay, okay." Chief Xu said with a smile.

Jiang Min glanced at Zhang Wuyang, who was uncomfortable, and when she arrived at her site, Jiang Min hooked the corner of her mouth and left with Jiang Laoliu.

"Eldest sister, if you say this, Zhang Wuyang will not be able to get along in the future." Jiang Laoliu smiled.

Jiang Min sneered: "I just want him to have a hard time. Back then, when he relied on our eldest brother to join the army, when he relied on our family, he was good to Xiao Qi. But when he married a daughter-in-law with a background, the Zhang family's face changed. , is not the confidence given by Zhang Laowu. He is the breadwinner of the family, but as long as he has a conscience and speaks to our sister, my sister can be so pitiful. In those years, I really lost all personal qualities, and a few children were skinny, Yaya is almost gone."

Thinking of what happened to the little sister in those years, Jiang Laoliu's smile gradually disappeared: "The family does not accumulate virtue, and now it is not all retribution."

"Shit!" Jiang Min said happily, "It would be unreasonable to let such a family have a good life."

Zhang Wuyang watched the Jiang siblings leave, looked back, and looked at Section Chief Xu quietly.

"You're busy, then I'll go back first." Section Chief Xu didn't like Zhang Wuyang's actions, but he didn't plan to say anything, it was not up to him to take care of it.

Zhang Wuyang said goodbye, watching Section Chief Xu gradually go away, his heart gradually sank. It can be seen that his immediate superior is a little ingratiating to Jiang Min, and it is obvious that Jiang Min has a lot of status. And Jiang Min made no secret of his disgust for him, and didn't even intend to hide their grievances. Even if it involved Jiang Hui, who was divorced, Jiang Min didn't find it difficult to explain. You can tell from the look in Section Chief Xu's eyes that Section Chief Xu should know about their family.

His comrades-in-arms and leaders all felt that his mother was too much, their brothers were too filial and filial, and the insiders who wanted to come to the agricultural machinery factory thought the same way. What's worse is that Jiang Hui's development is getting better and better, and their family is getting worse and worse. Such a comparison will make people support Jiang Hui more and ridicule their family more. Those people in the village are not like this, there is a strange yin and yang aura hidden in the cotton.

Zhang Wuyang let out a heavy sigh of relief. He was afraid that pointing and pointing would be indispensable in the future, and pointing would still be light. Can you keep your job? If he can't keep it, what should he do?
