"So, did you end up sending off a whole boatload of boys last night?"
It’s not some feudal superstition in our department; it often turns out that way."
Lu Jing couldn’t help but curl the corners of his mouth and said,
"Nowadays, don’t they say, ’science eventually leads to metaphysics’?"
So, it really could be plausible!
Anyone who denies it should present proof!
After chatting for a while, Mrs. Qin really couldn’t stay awake any longer:
"Let’s talk next time; my eyelids are starting a fight."
Lu Jing hummed in acknowledgment:
"Sister-in-law, you better head home and rest."
"Alright, see you later then."
It was only after Mrs. Qin had walked a good distance away that Lu Jing opened his car door, got in, and then started the car, slowly driving off.
The place he agreed to meet Jiang Yuan was not far, near Huaining County.
Lu Jing was quite familiar with that area.
He just didn’t know who exactly his little sister-in-law intended to buy a gift for?
The car wasn’t too fast nor too slow on the way.
It must’ve taken about fifteen minutes to arrive, and from afar, he could already see Jiang Yuan standing by the roadside.
He pulled over slowly, honked the horn twice, and Jiang Yuan, standing by the roadside, turned to look upon hearing the noise.
After confirming the license plate number, she hurried over with a quick jog.
Opening the car door, she was all smiles:
"Sister-in-law!" she exclaimed, clearly excited.
"Get in the car quickly."
With a bang, the car door shut.
It really was quite cold outside, the wind was biting.
It has to be said, the car was indeed warm.
Lu Jing still felt very caring for his little sister-in-law:
"See if there’s any hand cream inside, seems like the one your brother’s workplace distributed; put some on quickly so your hands don’t crack."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan laughed.
"Ah? They distribute this kind of stuff too?"
While joking, she started to look for it.
And sure enough, she found it.
It was a gift box, and it contained more than just hand cream.
"Yes, they disseminate everything; stuff is given out every now and then."
Jiang Yuan was envious listening to that:
"That’s so nice! Sister-in-law, do you think my brother’s workplace hires female firefighters?"
Lu Jing actually thought back seriously:
"I’ve seen them on the news, but as for your brother’s workplace, I’ve not yet seen a single female firefighter there."
Apart from their family quarters, there truly wouldn’t even be a female fly to be found anywhere else.
"Why, do you want to be a firefighter?"
The Jiang family probably would not agree to that!
There was already one son in the family who kept everyone worried sick; they definitely couldn’t let the daughter be the same!
It was imaginable; if Jiang Yuan really told her family she wanted to join the fire service, who knows what kind of commotion it would cause at home.
Jiang Yuan’s eyes sparkled:
"Mhm, mhm, mhm, it really sounds great, you see, the government takes care of everything, no need to worry about anything ourselves."
Though she said that, the sacrifices they made behind the scenes and the life-threatening dangers they faced on every call were not something an ordinary person could truly understand.
Then again, maybe it was something that could be let go of. Updates are released by novelꞁire.net
"And you know, firefighters are so handsome!
Just look at all the TV shows and movies about firefighting these days, so many of them, and they’re really cool!"
As expected of a young girl, only looking at the surface, not seeing the deeper implications of the issue.
Lu Jing didn’t want to burst her bubble right then and there:
"Focus on finishing your studies for now; we can talk about this after you graduate."
If she wanted to be a firefighter, she should have applied to the fire academy to begin with, right?
For now, education should be the priority.
"Sister-in-law, don’t you believe in me?"
