Accidentally entered a high gate

Although Xu's mother was neither as clever as Xu Yanqiu nor as well-educated, her age was a factor. "Auntie wants to help you, but Yanqiu has remarried. And her husband is a soldier. If I help you, I'll be breaking up a military marriage. Breaking up a military marriage is illegal."

Zhao Maisheng: "..." This old hag knows a lot. However, he didn't want to remarry Xu Yanqiu; he just wanted Xu Yanqiu to help him like before.

He only realized after divorcing Xu Yanqiu that the reason he had been so successful in Beijing was mainly because of Xu Yanqiu.

Xu Yanqiu was not only among the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination, but also from Peking University. Everyone was willing to give Xu Yanqiu face.

As Zhao Maisheng pondered this, he adopted a surprised expression. "Disrupting a military marriage?!"

"Yes! Breaking up a military marriage is illegal. Auntie is telling you, you'd better not go looking for Yanqiu. Yanqiu is devoted to you, but you... Yanqiu may not say it, but she hates you to death. If you go to Yanqiu, and she says you're harassing a military family member, you'll be in big trouble. Harassing a military family member is also illegal."

Zhao Maisheng: "..." Xu Yanqiu hates him? When he divorced Xu Yanqiu, she was quite agreeable. "Yan... Yanqiu wouldn't do that to me. I... I have three children with Yanqiu."

"Do you understand Yanqiu? Or do I understand Yanqiu?"

Zhao Maisheng wanted to say he understood. However, when he divorced Xu Yanqiu, he was prepared for her to cling to him relentlessly. But Xu Yanqiu divorced him without a word.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xu's mother continued, "You've only been with Yanqiu for a few years. I'm Yanqiu's mother."

Zhao Maisheng: "..."

"If you don't believe me, go and try it."

Zhao Maisheng: "..."

"Yanqiu will definitely get you in."

Zhao Maisheng: "..."

"You should just stay with your current wife. If you go looking for Yanqiu, she'll give you a piece of her mind. And Yanqiu's husband won't let you off the hook either. Do you know what position Yanqiu's husband holds? He's a deputy division commander."

Zhao Maisheng: "..."

"Alright, you can go now."

"I...I want to see the children. I miss them."

"You want to see the child? Have you forgotten what I just said about Yanqiu's husband's job title?"

Zhao Maisheng: "..."

"If I were you, I would follow the agreement you signed with Yanqiu back then."

Zhao Maisheng: "..."

"Alright. I've said everything I needed to say. If you insist on courting death, I won't stop you."

Zhao Maisheng: "..."

After leaving the Xu family, Zhao Maisheng couldn't help but wonder: Did Xu Yanqiu find an old man just to use his status as a military family member to deal with him?

After seeing Zhao Maisheng walk away, Xu's mother hurried to the post office to call Xu Yanqiu.

Xu Yanqiu smiled after hearing this. "Mother, you're getting more and more amazing."

"You have to be strong. Ever since you married Jianrong, I've been thinking about what to do if that heartless Zhao regrets it. You finally found a good husband thanks to your classmate, and I can't let that heartless Zhao ruin it for you. Okay, I'm not talking to you anymore. Phone calls are expensive."

"Okay. I'll come back to see you when I have time."

"No need, no need, just focus on living your life well. I'm hanging up." With that, Xu's mother hung up the phone.

Xu Yanqiu watched as her mother hung up the phone before going to work.

As for Zhao Maisheng wanting to remarry her? She's doing so well now that she doesn't have the mind to wonder if he really wants to remarry her, or if he's just using the pretext of remarriage to get her to help him like before.

After Zhao Maisheng asked around to find out what a deputy division commander would do to him if he offended one, he finally calmed down.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's been 1984.

Under the influence of Wanwan, Xu Yanqiu, Xiuqin, Guangqin, and Yuqin, Shen Nianjiao's personality became much stronger than before. Her academic performance also improved.

During the Chinese New Year, Shen Jianrong gave Xiuqin, Guangqin, Nianjiao, and Yuqin each a ten-yuan red envelope.

Xiuqin, Guangqin, and Yuqin had never received such a large red envelope before.

All three of them were very happy.

Nianjiao was also very happy. Xu Yanqiu, Xiuqin, Guangqin, and Yuqin were all easy to get along with. Her father still doted on her as much as before. Also, her stepmother was pregnant. She hoped her stepmother would give her a cute little brother like Yan Chuan.

After the New Year, everyone got busy again.

Ma Lifeng was busy when there was a knock at the door. "Come in."

Secretary Zhang pushed open the door and walked in. "Busy? The Party Secretary wants to see you."

"Okay. Is it urgent? If it is, I'll come over now. If it's not urgent, I'll come over after I finish this."

"No rush."

"Then I'll finish this and then go over."

Secretary Zhang said "Okay" and left.

After finishing, Ma Lifeng went to find He Jingyao.

He Jingyao pointed to the sofa when he saw him arrive. "Sit down."

"Okay." Ma Lifeng sat down and looked at He Jingyao with a smile, "Sir, what are your instructions?"

"I'm telling you to go to the construction site and carry bricks."

Ma Lifeng: "..." It seems like it's not anything important. "Alright! I'll go right away."

"Hahaha... If I asked you to carry bricks on a construction site, your older brother would definitely call and yell at me. A group of senior students are coming for internships in a few days, and I'm thinking of assigning one to you. Are you interested?"

"I'm willing. But you'd better assign me a man. I'm the only one in my office."

He Jingyao: "..."

He Jingyao is trying to poach someone else's girlfriend again. "Okay. What about your partner?"

"If it's time to separate, then separate. I never stop my wife from making progress."

"I understand." He needed to let his granddaughter play with Yan Bang and Yan Min more often.

Soon, the interns arrived.

He Jingyao assigned Ma Lifeng a boy and Zheng Chunfang a girl.

The boy's surname is Ding, and his given name is Haifeng.

The girl's surname is Zhao, and her given name is Yi'an.

Seeing that Zheng Chunfang was not only a woman but also very young, Zhao Yi'an went to find He Jingyao. "Uncle He, my dad was very happy to hear that I was coming to intern with you. He said you were very capable, whether in the military or in politics."

"Hahaha... Your father is also a pillar of our country. How is your father's health?"

"My dad is in good health. He said he'll definitely come to Shenzhen to have a drink with you if he has the chance."

"I also want to catch up with your father. It's been over ten years since I last saw him. Did you encounter any difficulties while trying to see your uncle?"

"It's not so much a difficulty. It's just... I want to learn more."

He Jingyao: "..." Does this mean he looks down on Xiao Zheng? Not only is Xiao Zheng a graduate of Peking University, but she also keeps Ma Xiaosan completely under her thumb; she's also Old Ma's youngest daughter-in-law. He only let this young girl work with Xiao Zheng because he knows Old Zhao. "You might not know this now, but Xiao Zheng graduated from Peking University and is very capable at work."

Zhao Yi'an hesitated upon hearing the words "Peking University." "Uncle He, I know you must have considered this carefully before assigning me to Comrade Zheng's group. It's not that I think Comrade Zheng is incompetent. I just feel that Comrade Zheng has a lot of miscellaneous tasks. Comrade Zheng should be married, right? He should have children, right?"

He Jingyao: "..."

He Jingyao recalled how the God of Wealth had placed a gleaming gold ingot on a bridge where two beggars were passing by. Unexpectedly, when the two beggars reached the bridgehead, they decided to play a game of crossing the bridge with their eyes closed.

He Jingyao felt that Zhao Yi'an's current behavior was similar to that of those two beggars. "Why don't you reconsider? You know I considered it carefully before assigning you to Xiao Zheng."
