Chapter 2078: Chapter 2097: Visiting as a Guest
"So, all of you are busy, and I’m the only one left at home?" Shen Zian, who couldn’t sit still, turned green upon hearing this.
"I’ll be back during noon when the students are off."
"Does your school need more staff?"
"Well... I don’t know, how about I ask for you tomorrow?"
"Alright!" Shen Zian was a military academy graduate, well-educated, though the original persona was not, only having attended elementary school. Becoming a teacher was out of the question. Schools like these usually took care of military families and children, and teachers were selected from military affiliates. Someone like her wouldn’t get in.
"If not, working in the canteen is fine too!" She remembered in the dream, the original persona went to the canteen, but she was lazy, and found the work disgraceful, not only failing to do the job well, but also causing trouble.
Hong Lian’s eyes lit up, "Why didn’t I think of that! I’ll ask tomorrow; it would be great if possible. Though cooking in the canteen might not seem as dignified as being a teacher, the salary isn’t less than ours, and the food is good."
The school provided lunch, and there wasn’t much to do in the canteen in the afternoon. Buying groceries required early waking but had perks, and a special procurement team handled it, so it wouldn’t involve Little An.
"Great! Please, Auntie, help me ask around."
As they were talking, a young soldier appeared at the door, smiling shyly, nervously knocking, "Is sister-in-law at home?"
"Oh, it’s Little Liu! Come in, don’t just stand at the door." Zhao Honglian wiped her hands, invited Little Liu in, and went to pour a cup of cool boiled water with a spoonful of sugar for him.
Little Liu glanced at Shen Zian, blushing even more, too embarrassed to lift his head.
"Tired? Have some water."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Little Liu drank the water without raising his head, realizing it was sweet afterwards, his face turning redder, "Th... thank you, sister-in-law."
"No need to be formal; come over for a meal whenever you can."
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law. The Deputy Company Commander asked me to tell you, there will be guests at home tonight, so prepare a bit more food." Little Liu’s eyes glanced at the table where dumplings were being wrapped, making him unconsciously swallow.
Shen Zian tilted her head, observing all of Little Liu’s actions clearly, and couldn’t help but laugh.
Such familiarity, he must be a newbie not yet a year in service. Shy and bashful, after a year, the veterans will train him well.
"Alright, I got it, you come over tonight too." Zhao Honglian had clearly interacted with Little Liu many times and knew Shen Weixing valued him. Little Liu had eaten at their house before; she casually invited him over.
Who knew Little Liu would immediately shake his head like a rattle drum, "No, no, I won’t come. I can’t come. Tonight’s guests at sister-in-law’s house are all high-ranking officers; I shouldn’t be there." He was terrified, he’s definitely not brave enough to go!
Not to mention, it wasn’t his place to come!
"What high-ranking officers?" Zhao Honglian originally thought Shen Weixing invited a few close comrades, realizing something was off now.
"They’re all division officers, and our regiment commander will come too." Little Liu discreetly glanced at Shen Zian and lowered his voice, "The division commander also said... said he wants to introduce Little An to someone."
These were things he heard others mention, the entire third regiment was buzzing now. Nobody expected the usually honest Deputy Company Commander Shen Weixing to catch the division commander’s eye.
Previously, the division commander never visited anyone’s home for a meal.
Visiting Shen Weixing’s home was unprecedented. Everyone said Deputy Company Commander Shen was in for a stroke of luck; advancing in his career would be inevitable.
