"Hmm, around the end of July!" He Zhilan nodded.
Upon hearing this, Liang Jing immediately became excited, her sleepiness completely gone. She kept asking He Zhilan what she would be doing in C Province. When she heard that she would be translating for foreigners, Liang Jing looked at He Zhilan with eyes full of admiration.
At lunchtime, He Hongmei knocked on the door from outside and called the three children to come and eat. Since there weren’t many people in the house, there was no need to insist on letting the men and the leader eat first. So she simply called the children to come and eat together. Besides, it would save them from waiting and the food getting cold and losing its flavor.
Liang Tao’s leader was surnamed Jiang. Liang Tao called him Director Jiang, while He Zhilan and the others respectfully addressed him as Uncle Jiang.
After they sat down at the table, Director Jiang gave a glance at the three children, then his gaze rested on He Zhilan and He Dongxue, and he said, "Xiaoliang, your wife’s siblings, each of them is promising. I heard that the eldest one has also been promoted in the military, right?"
"Yes, Ateng is now in the position of a regular army officer with the rank of Lieutenant. He was just promoted at the beginning of this year!" Liang Tao responded confidently, thinking to himself, actually, these three siblings of the He Family really bring honor to him.
"Good! Quite young and already in such a position, the future is bright! Looking at the children from the He Family, they all have bright futures. The eldest one is in the military, the eldest daughter is at Capital University, and the youngest daughter is taking the college entrance examination this year, right? Which university did she apply for?" Director Jiang seemed to take a special interest in the affairs of the He Family.
"Capital’s First Military Academy." He Dongxue answered.
Director Jiang paused slightly, a touch of surprise in his expression, "Very good! If she gets in, she’ll also be a military person! With He Teng in the military to guide her, her road in the future should be smooth!"
He Dongxue didn’t respond, because she didn’t quite understand what guidance she needed from her brother.
However, He Zhilan did understand. After graduating from the Military Medical University, He Dongxue would have a military rank. If He Teng could help He Dongxue out with connections at that time, He Dongxue’s future road would definitely be smooth.
However, recognizing this yourself and having someone else mention it in front of you are two different things, and they evoke two different types of emotions.
Therefore, He Zhilan didn’t chime in and pretended to be completely oblivious, she also temporarily didn’t plan to explain it to He Dongxue. She hoped that He Dongxue would enter the school with a sole focus on her studies to become a good doctor, not with any improper motives.
After that, except for the three adults talking, the three children were quiet, probably because they thought the children wouldn’t understand political matters. Therefore, Liang Tao and Director Jiang didn’t avoid talking about them in front of He Zhilan and the others.
As Director Jiang mentioned a few familiar names, He Zhilan paused in eating. Listening carefully, she finally understood that the dispatch order transferring Xing Ye to S province had been issued.
He Zhilan was not too surprised about this. She had heard from Lin Chan before that the dispatch order for Xing Ye would probably come down during the summer vacation, and then Xing Ye would leave the capital for a while.
Lin Chan had mentioned that when Xing Ye returns to the capital, he may become the youngest leader in the country’s history.
It seemed from what Director Jiang was saying that the situation had started to become subtly unstable from the time Xing Ye was appointed to his position in S province.
After listening for a while, He Dongxue and Liang Jing got up to leave, He Zhilan didn’t continue to listen but also stood up, carefully going over in her mind the conversation between Director Jiang and her uncle.
