The wife took the baby to live with the military commander, and the commander washed diapers every d

Although he was in the army, he knew that people were being recruited everywhere in the city to go to the countryside. Once you signed up, unless you had very good connections and paid money, you might be able to get your name removed.

Otherwise, the only option is to go to the countryside.

"No, going to the countryside is so tough, how can I let her go too?"

She came back because she didn't want to go to the countryside.

How could we let her go to the countryside again?

If they're assigned to a remote area, it'll be difficult to even see each other again.

"Honey, don't worry. Several villages near our unit have sent-down youth."

Shen Jingyue's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked at him and said, "You mean to send Xiaolan to one of the villages where your army is stationed to work as an educated youth?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. You can let Xiaolan stay at home, and I can think of a way to see if I can get her a teaching job at the school, so you won't have to worry."

"If only that could be done."

"But when we sign up to go to the countryside, the placement is arranged by the local street committee. Can we choose our own destination?"

This is the most crucial point.

Qin Xiang'an thought for a moment and then said, "I have a comrade-in-arms from Haishi, but he was discharged from the army last year. I heard that his mother works in the neighborhood office. I'll go ask him. He should be able to help with this."

Shen Jingyue's eyes lit up even more. "If that's the case, that would be wonderful."

"I'll go outside and call to ask now. You watch the child."

"Okay, go quickly."

Shen Jingyue took the child from his arms.

It's definitely better to get this done as soon as possible.

If everything goes well over there, she can go back and persuade Xiaolan to go to the countryside so that she can live with her and won't have to put up with her stepmother's attitude.

Qin Xiang'an went out.

There are phone booths outside.

He went out to make a phone call and returned in less than half an hour.

Shen Jingyue had just fed the baby and put him to sleep when she saw him return. She asked softly, "How is it? Is everything alright?"

Qin Xiang'an nodded, "Okay, just go to the neighborhood office and find someone named Aunt Liu, she'll take care of it for you."

Shen Jingyue gently placed the child on the bed, then excitedly rushed into his arms, hugged his neck, and kissed him.

"Honey, you're amazing."

Luckily, he has connections here, otherwise this matter would have been really difficult to resolve.

Qin Xiang'an became agitated after being kissed by her.

He cupped her face in his hands and lowered his head to kiss her.

He only released Shen Jingyue reluctantly after kissing her until she was almost breathless.

"You little rascal, you really know how to stir up trouble."

If the child weren't still here, Qin Xiang'an would have liked to take her right there and now.

Shen Jingyue's face turned red, and she naturally noticed it as well.

She pinched his waist hard in embarrassment and indignation before admitting it, "Isn't that your own problem? You have poor self-control, how can you blame me?"

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I have to go back. I'm staying home tonight, so you need to take good care of the child by yourself, okay?"

Qin Xiang'an frowned. "Aren't you coming back to sleep?"

"Xiaolan has a leg injury, so I have to take care of her. I also have to persuade Xiaolan to go to the countryside, find her household registration booklet, and go to the neighborhood office to help her register for the rural assignment."

"This matter should be resolved as soon as possible."

Qin Xiang'an felt dejected at the thought that he wouldn't be able to sleep with his wife tonight.

Shen Jingyue laughed when she saw his expression and kissed him again. "Be good, I'll find time to come see you tomorrow."

What could Qin Xiang'an say after she had already said that?

"Alright, when are you going to tell your dad about our situation?"

Even if she and her father don't have a good relationship, shouldn't she at least tell them about their marriage?

"Don't worry, I'll find a chance to tell you."

"Then I'll be leaving first."

After leaving the guesthouse, Shen Jingyue made a phone call to her uncle's house in Guangzhou.

My uncle's family originally lived in Shanghai, but they were transferred to Guangzhou for work.

My uncle and his family are now living in Guangzhou.

She remembered the phone number and dialed it directly.

The call was answered very quickly.

"Hello, this is Xu Zhenglin, who is this?"

"Uncle, it's me, it's Jingyue." Shen Jingyue didn't know why, but when she heard that familiar voice, her nose suddenly felt sore.

In the original owner's memory, her uncle was very kind to her, and he used to send things to her and her sister from time to time.

Later, his father married his stepmother, which his uncle had tried to stop.

However, because the original owner listened to her father too much, she herself had to persuade her uncle not to interfere in the matter.

When their stepmother first came into the family, she treated the sisters very well. But gradually, her true colors were revealed. She would pretend to be nice to the sisters, but secretly make them do this and that.

They were also threatened not to tell their uncle about this, or they would be kicked out.

Even the good things her uncle sent were taken and eaten by her stepmother and Cheng Xiaoxia.

The original owner was timid and dared not speak of this matter, but she did not want the things her uncle sent to benefit them.

So she secretly wrote a letter to her uncle, telling him not to send any more things.

The original owner didn't explain the truth, only saying that she didn't want her uncle to spend money, and that even if the items were sent over, she would send them back.

I don't know if my uncle sensed something or if he really believed the original owner's words, but he never sent any more after that.

"Jingyue, is it really you?" Xu Zhenglin on the other end of the line was overjoyed when he heard his voice.

"He's my uncle."

"Why did you only call me now? I heard you secretly went to the countryside. How could you go to the countryside like that, kid?"

Xu Zhenglin had called Shen's father before, but he said that Jingyue had secretly gone to the countryside and he didn't know the address.

He wanted to find Jinglan, but Shen's father refused, saying she was too busy with school.

The original owner did not contact her uncle after going to the countryside, so Xu Zhenglin really could not contact her.

I'm so excited to hear her call now.

Shen Jingyue was stunned. The original owner had gone to the countryside openly and honestly, but she didn't say anything because she didn't want her uncle to worry.

Her uncle said she secretly went to the countryside; those words must have come from Shen's father.

He must have been worried about being scolded by his uncle, which is why he said that.

Shen Jingyue didn't mention this matter.

Instead, he simply told him about Xiaolan's situation.

"What? How did Xiaolan hurt her leg?" Xu Zhenglin's heart jumped when he heard that Xiaolan's leg was broken.

"I don't know either. I feel like something's definitely wrong inside. But Uncle, don't worry. Xiaolan has already seen a doctor. As long as she takes good care of herself, she'll be fine."

"Was it your stepmother who did it? I knew that woman had no good intentions; it must have been her."
