Chapter 9 Part Two Chapter Nine

In the few years after Zhu Daju and Liang Liang got married, Zhu Daju was already the instructor of the Police Communication Company, and Liang Liang was still working as an officer in the Propaganda Department, and his position changed from the original platoon rank to the main company.They have worked in the army for more than ten years in a flash.Life has taken them for granted, including their marriage.Zhu Daju, who is full of motherhood, still cares about Liang Liang's daily life. Every night, Liang Liang has to go home to write manuscripts, and Zhu Daju puts on clothes from time to time to serve Liang Liang tea.When Liang Liang was busy at his desk, Zhu Daju was wearing clothes, pacing in front of and behind him with his hands behind his back, very much like an instructor.Liang Liang was disturbed, he turned his head and said angrily: Can you calm down for a while, I can't concentrate like you.

Zhu Daju tiptoed back to the bed and lay down slowly, but she couldn't fall asleep again, and got up quietly after a while, sat there, and looked carefully at Liang Liang.When Liang Liang looked up to light a cigarette, she lost the opportunity and whispered from time to time: Liang Zi, why don't I make you a bowl of noodles, it's already midnight, I'm afraid you'll be hungry. Liang Liang waved his hand absently and said: Whatever. Zhu Daju seemed to have received an order, she quickly got off the bed, walked to the kitchen, and closed the door carefully.After a while, a bowl of hot noodle soup was brought to Liang Liang's desk.As soon as Liang Liang saw the steaming bowl of noodles, he couldn't write any more. He devoured the bowl of noodles.

In normal times, Zhu Daju seemed to have a lot to say to him. As soon as she entered the house and saw Liang Liang, she would have the desire to speak, from the joining of the company soldiers to the demobilization.She is an instructor in the company, and she has to do ideological education for the soldiers non-stop. When she returns home, she is still working as an instructor.Liang Liang couldn't get enthusiastic about the trivial matters of the company, but he couldn't dampen Zhu Daju's enthusiasm, so she kept talking.Suddenly, he would think of Li Jing. If he married Li Jing, would he be like Zhu Daju?If not, then what?

In the few years after marriage, he thought of Li Jing from time to time, of course, when his mind was empty. Whenever he thought of Li Jing, he felt more content in his heart, and it also made him feel better.He couldn't tell what it was like, his heart was empty, and he looked like he had nothing to lose. Liang Liang subconsciously paid close attention to Li Jing's news, but since he learned that Li Jing left the teacher's hospital, he never heard from her again.All he knew was that Li Jing had been transferred to the General Hospital of the Military Region to work.During this period, Director Liu of the Propaganda Department went to the military hospital for an operation due to appendicitis and stayed in the hospital for more than ten days.After Director Liu was discharged from the hospital, when he went to visit Director Liu, he hoped to hear about Li Jing from Director Liu, but Director Liu didn't mention anything.He had nothing to say and said: You didn't meet any acquaintances when you were hospitalized there?

Officer Liu shook his head in puzzlement, and then said as if he had come to his senses: You mean Li Jing, I’ve never seen it before. He walked back wearily with some disappointment. These days, Zhu Daju has been talking about the child in his ear. They have been married for several years, and they have never had a child. He doesn't want it because he is afraid that having a child will hinder his work.Ever since he got married, Zhu Daju wanted to have a baby, but he has never let her succeed.Recently, Zhu Daju's central topic has been talking about children. When she talks about it, she is very strategic, starting with other people's children.Zhu Daju is really a woman who likes children. When she sees other people's children, she can't walk. Her eyes are straight. In order to get in touch with other people's children, she is willing to buy gifts for other people's children, and then use one or another excuse to send the gifts to others. Send it over and take the opportunity to play with that child for a while, she was happy at that time.

Zhu Daju couldn't wait for the child's problem, and she began to discuss directly with Liang Liang. She said: Liang Zi, why don't you want a child? Liang Liang had already answered this question a hundred times, and he was too lazy to answer, just looking at her wearily. She said again: I know why you dare not have children, for fear that we will divorce in the future and the children will drag you down, don't you? Liang Liang opened his eyes a little wider. He had no passion for Zhu Daju, but he really hadn't thought about divorce. What's more, what does the child have to do with divorce?

Zhu Daju chased after the victory, and she said: Liang Zi, don't occupy the latrine and don't shit, don't worry, I won't delay you after giving birth, you are the same as now, you can do whatever you want, okay? Liang Liang said: Do you really like children that much? Zhu Daju said: As long as you let me have children, you can do whatever you want. Liang Liang couldn't say anything, and then he and Zhu Daju worked together to have a baby.Finally, Zhu Daju was pregnant. When she was walking with her back straight, the news of the disarmament of the troops reached the division. When there was no definite news, there were all kinds of news.Some said that this division could not keep its staff and would cancel its establishment, while others said that this division would reduce its establishment by half and merge with other divisions. All kinds of rumors grew wildly like weeds.

Zhu Daju was originally devoted to caring for the growing child in her belly. For her, this kind of news did not make her realize the seriousness of the problem. According to her words: Where the loess does not bury people, it is good to change jobs Whether she stays in the army or not, it won't delay her childbirth. Liang Liang was in a hurry. He knew that the disarmament of the army at this time would not be good for Zhu Daju. Which unit is willing to accept it.He expressed his worries, and Zhu Daju also realized the seriousness of the problem, but when she saw Liang Liang's frowning expression, she immediately said: Don't worry, the worst thing is that I won't change jobs and stay in the army. Even if our division is gone, the army will not be gone. I want to write to Teacher Fan and ask him to help me.

At that time, Teacher Fan had been transferred to the military region as a minister. Zhu Daju kept her promise. She wrote a letter to Minister Fan enthusiastically, but Minister Fan never replied.Just two months after the child was born, the order to reduce the number of troops finally came down. This division only retained one regiment and merged with other units.Zhu Daju stayed in the army because of special circumstances, and Liang Liang was announced to have changed jobs along with most of the others. Zhu Daju, who had overcome the difficulties, let out a long breath at this moment: I'm right, this is fate, no matter who you are, Minister Fan will not ignore me.

Then, the entire army changed drastically, and everyone who remained was happy, and those cadres who were transferred began to rush around for their own re-employment.Liang Liang also joined the ranks of job hunting.Their division is a unit directly under the military region, and most of the demobilized cadres have returned to work in their hometowns. Because Zhu Daju has not changed jobs, Liang Liang can find jobs locally. In order to catch up with the disarmament, many people have changed jobs. In order to better communicate with the transferred cadres, the relevant departments in the province held a job fair for the transferred troops.All units that have the task of accepting transferred cadres have set up booths at the job fair.Liang Liang always thought that he was still young, and he was good at writing and drawing. He always felt that he had strong competitiveness.When he rushed to the job fair, he saw a crowd of demobilized cadres running around in front of the booths of various employers, and his self-confidence suddenly plummeted.He put the dozens of personal materials he had prepared in his hand on the recruiting unit's desk silently, without raising his head, and quickly left the recruitment venue.

At that time, Liang Liang's mood was extremely gloomy.Now the division is just a left-behind place. Zhu Daju and he still live in the original house. There are still tens of kilometers away from here to the provincial capital. It is very inconvenient to go back and forth, so he can only wait for news.During that time, Liang Liang really felt hopeless.Zhu Daju looked like a full man who doesn't know how hungry a hungry man is. She comforted Liang Liang and said, "Don't worry, what's the rush."If I can't find a job, I can support you and the children. As soon as the child was mentioned, Liang Liang became angry. The child would not come sooner or later, but at this time, wouldn't this make things worse?After Zhu Daju gave birth, her adoptive mother rushed over from the old district. Although the adoptive mother is over seventy years old, she is still in good health and is more than enough to help take care of the child.When the adoptive mother came, Liang Liang was completely relaxed, and he lived in fear all day long. Suddenly one day, he received a letter from an employer informing him to go to the employer for an interview on a certain day.Liang Liang, who was at a loss, seemed to see hope again.
