no way.

Both of them felt guilty.

Just like a divorce custody battle.

Lin Zhilan now needs to work hard to improve her daughter's favorability, so that her daughter won't be taken away by Zhou Chen.

As for Su Lang, he has to work on improving his wife's and daughter's favorability.

Losing either one would be unacceptable to him.

As for Zhou Chen, the power ultimately lies with Zhilan and the child; it's all about individual ability.

During Su Lang's recovery period, his military leaders also visited him.

He made a contribution in this operation.

The intercepted ship was linked to foreign forces, making this mission quite fruitful.

Unfortunately, Su Lang was seriously injured and underwent a splenectomy.

According to the "Regulations on the Service of Officers", those who have basically lost their ability to work at sea must be transferred away from the front line of the ship.

Ships, submarines, and even marines operate in high-intensity, high-risk environments. Su Lang's next sea voyage might be his last.

The leaders felt it was a pity.

Su Lang is a promising talent, and they all have high hopes for him.

Only Commander Qin and Political Commissar Zhuang knew that this kid had actually wanted to retire from the front line for a long time.

Even if it weren't for this surgery, Su Lang would have tried to get a job transfer within the next year or two.

The leaders asked Su Lang what his requirements were.

Su Lang was able to sit up halfway, and his expression was firm. "Commander, I want to fight for the position of captain of the water police district of Goose City Base."

The leaders exchanged glances.

The military region is indeed improving the naval organization in Goose City, and the position of detachment commander is indeed vacant.

but……

Su Lang is still too young.

Elevating him to this position would likely provoke controversy.

Political Commissar Zhuang noticed the leaders' hesitation and stepped forward, saying, "A position isn't something you can just ask for. This matter needs to be discussed by the leaders. Don't be arrogant!"

"Hey," a leader stepped forward and said, "You can't say that. We've all seen Su Lang's contributions, and we'll carefully consider his request."

Political Commissar Zhuang played the bad cop, while Division Commander Qin played the good cop.

"Alright, alright! Su Lang, now that you've heard what the leader said, aren't you going to thank him?"

Su Lang seized the opportunity and said, "Thank you, leader!"

"This..." The leaders pointed at the three people with annoyance, "What's the use of you looking for loopholes in my words? We also have to report it up the chain of command and get approval from above."

Commander Qin said casually, "That's for sure. But since everyone here has spoken, we should say a few good words for Su Lang."

"Definitely, definitely."

A week after Su Lang had her stitches removed, she was able to get out of bed and walk around.

His transfer order finally came down.

Deputy Captain of the Water Police District at Goose City Base.

Although he was the deputy detachment commander, the military region did not appoint a detachment commander.

In other words, although Su Lang holds the title of deputy branch captain, he is required to assume the work and responsibilities of a branch captain.

But this also has one advantage.

Political Commissar Zhuang had privately hinted to Su Lang that as long as he performed well at work, the position of detachment leader would be his sooner or later.

This is Commander Gu's intention.

This is not a time of war. Su Lang is in his early thirties, and to have reached the position of detachment commander is already considered an outstanding individual.

In fact, Su Lang also benefited from Lin Zhilan's influence.

Su Lang's hometown is in the capital. If he chooses to transfer to civilian work, he can easily work in a government agency in the capital.

If he leaves the military region, it will indeed be a loss of a promising talent.

But Commander Gu cannot let Lin Zhilan go.

The pharmaceutical factories on the island are doing better and better, with significant investments from both the military and local authorities.

Commander Gu was most at ease knowing that Lin Zhilan was staying at the military hospital.

As for Su Lang, he is indeed exceptionally capable and has made many contributions.

Giving him the position of deputy branch commander would be barely acceptable.

Although the job transfer notice has been issued, Su Lang has three months of sick leave, during which she can rest at home and spend time with her family.

As it happened, Jiang Chengzhou also had the task of learning agriculture while attending school.

Lin Zhilan was busy with work, so she entrusted this matter to Su Lang.

Lin Zhilan and Wang Rou planted flowers in the yard of their house.

Su Lang then took the children to her parents' house.

Having just recovered from a serious illness, Su Lang broke out in a cold sweat after walking less than two miles from the family compound to the next village.

Aunt Yu happened to come out of the house and saw him, which startled her.

"Your injuries haven't healed yet, how did you get here?"

She scolded him as she went to help Su Lang up.

Linlin circled around her father's feet, saying, "Aunt Yu, let me help Dad."

"Good boy."

Aunt Yu praised the child, then quickly helped Su Lang inside. She then nimbly brought out a rattan chair and placed a soft cushion on it, so that he could sit down in the shade of the yard.

Xu Yueyun also came out at this time. When she saw Su Lang, she couldn't help but criticize him a few more times.

Su Lang settled into the rattan chair and let out a long sigh of relief.

He stayed in the hospital ward without sun exposure for less than half a month, and his tanned skin has returned to its original color.

Unfortunately, his face was still pale, and he looked like a ghost.

Su Lang casually wiped the sweat from his forehead, his tone relaxed, "I've been lying down for so long, I'd be ruined if I kept lying down. It's good to get out for a walk, and I can play with the kids."

Xu Yueyun could tell that her son was putting on a brave face, but she also knew that this was just his temperament, and there was no way to persuade him otherwise.

She poured a glass of warm water for her son and couldn't help but say, "Get well soon, then you can let the child play however you want. There's no need to rush."

Linlin stayed close to her father's legs, her little hands resting on Su Lang's knees.

Hearing her grandmother's words, Linlin pointed at her brother with her little finger, "It's not about playing, it's about helping brother study."

"Huh? Studying?" Xu Yueyun didn't react.

"Yes, Grandma, take a look." Jiang Chengzhou took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Xu Yueyun.

Xu Yueyun opened it and took a look.

Record form for agricultural learning and practice activities.

The instructions require students to participate in agricultural work such as planting, weeding, and watering under the guidance of their parents or teachers, and to write an observation diary.

Xu Yueyun looked around but couldn't find Su Bingcheng.

"Your grandfather is always appearing and disappearing like a ghost. If you want to learn farming, you'll have to go to him."

Su Bingcheng comes from a farming background and now has a great passion for planting.

Rather than troubling the son, it's better to let the old man do it.

"What are you saying about me?" Su Bingcheng asked as he pushed the door open and entered.

Xu Yueyun handed him the paper, "Take a look, this task is now yours."

Su Bingcheng burst into laughter after reading it. "What's so special about this, Chengzhou? What are you planning to plant?"

After pondering for a while, Jiang Chengzhou asked, "Grandpa, what's the easiest to grow?"

"In this weather, we can plant medium-season rice, but there are too few fields on the island. We're planting survival rice, not letting you kids waste it."

Su Bingcheng thought for a moment, "How about we plant some watermelons or some sweet potatoes?"

"Then I'll choose watermelon!" Jiang Chengzhou made the decision immediately.

Since we're going to be farming anyway, we'll definitely grow what we like to eat.

"Grandpa," Linlin ran over, looking up at Su Bingcheng, "I want to plant one too."

Su Bingcheng squatted down. "Okay, what does our little darling want to plant?"

"A big chicken leg!"
