What they worry about is not only the present, but also the future. Whether they will lose this job that can support them, it seems that Chen Wenxiu should be worried even more.
Guihua has a family, a father and a brother. She is only interested in working outside the home and envies the different lives of others. Future changes will not have much impact on her.
Chen Wenxiu looked at the confused and worried eyes of the two girls and couldn't help but laugh and said: "The influence I am talking about is after Ping Liao. Before that, there should be no problem if you get the diploma and enter the system.
"
For government personnel, the government has a comfort policy, which means signing a contract for at least five years so that they can work with peace of mind.
Moreover, just like having to change careers, there are more opportunities here in Dongjiang Town because of the support and help from the government.
Wool spinning mills and family workshops that process materials are relatively friendly to women, and are even industries established specifically for them.
Women's work in public should have started two or three years ago, mainly for new immigrants. Because they have nothing, they don't care about face or publicity in order to survive.
Up to now, the trend has been greatly changed. People no longer look at her strangely, and there are fewer comments. It has attracted more women to follow suit.
Nothing is more important than survival. When you are going crazy with hunger, a few steamed buns can buy you a woman. Dignity, shame, eye rolls and comments are all nothing.
Thinking about the tragic situation of those displaced victims in the northwest disaster areas, exchanging their children for food, you may be able to understand the feeling of despair and helplessness.
"Besides, by that time, the government may have other ways." Chen Wenxiu showed quite confidence, and she didn't know if she was pretending, "I won't let people starve to death. I also have hands and feet, what the hell?"
He can do any job."
Osmanthus nodded repeatedly and said: "Sister Chen is right, you don't have to think so much, if you can read and write, and can count, it is always good, and you can definitely use it."
Xiaoqin also agreed and said: "Even if I can read a notice or something, it is much better than being blind. I don't care if I can be an official, as long as I can support myself, that's fine."
Zhen'er was not interested in the adults' discussions. She looked around and sniffed her nose from time to time to distinguish the fragrance that filled the air.
Zhen'er's big eyes widened, and the red candied haws wrapped in translucent sugar made her subconsciously lick her lips, then turned her head and looked at her mother expectantly.
"What's the matter, Zhen'er?" Xiaoqin was the first to notice, and asked with a smile: "Just tell me what you want to eat, and Auntie will buy it for you."
Chen Wenxiu said with a smile: "You don't need to spend money. I invite you to accompany me today. I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat."
Xiaoqin joked: "My salary has been increased, so I am generous. I can save it to buy new clothes for Zhen'er. I don't earn much, but I don't have much to spend, so I saved everything."
"Is it candied haws?" Xiaoqin touched Zhen'er's little face and guessed, "I want to eat it too!"
Zhen'er opened her little mouth and nodded vigorously with a smile.
"Wait." Xiaoqin chuckled and walked over.
Chen Wenxiu said hello, but when she saw Xiao Qintou didn't look back, she shook her head helplessly and didn't fight for it. When she was done shopping, she would treat her to a meal and just come and go as she pleased.
Osmanthus was a little ashamed of herself, and she twisted her clothes in embarrassment. There were some small bills in her pockets, but they were just pocket money, so it was hard to buy anything.
Although she sent Wu Qing, Chen Wenxiu and Xiaoqin some peanuts grown at home, pine nuts and sand nuts picked from the mountains, she was not so free when it came to money, and was controlled by her father.
In ancient times, this situation was the most common and has become a tradition.
But with the comparison, Guihua felt embarrassed and wanted to work more and more. The money she earned was her own and she could spend it how she wanted.
Chen Wenxiu suddenly saw a family of three walking slowly not far away. She couldn't help but glance at Xiaoqin, who was facing away from the candied haws stall, and found that she hadn't noticed. She couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaoqin came back soon, holding four skewers of candied haws in her hand, each one skewering them with a smile. Zhen'er was the happiest, chewing her mouth tightly, watching the small businesses around her, and laughing happily from time to time.
Chen Wenxiu took a sneak peek and saw that Yang Daman's family had gone away and Xiaoqin didn't notice, so she felt relieved.
Yang Xiaohe was carrying a basket containing the cotton cloth and cotton he had just bought, and was eating fragrant meat skewers in his mouth, as happy and joyful as a child.
Yang Daman and his wife walked slowly in the market, talking from time to time. Although they were filled with joy, they also felt a little melancholy before leaving.
"Stop spending money randomly. You should take something with you when you go out." Yang's body has recovered a lot, and her eating and drinking during this period has indeed improved to a higher level.
Yang Daman smiled and said: "In the army, there is no use for flowers. This winter, you and your son will raise them at home, and we will talk about farming and raising chickens next year."
His salary is enough for the two of them, but Yang is also a hard-working person who can't sit idle. When he gets better, he will always find some way to make a living.
Even if she doesn't farm, raises more than a dozen chickens, and does odd jobs to supplement her income, Yang feels that she can save a lot of money.
"I heard that it will take three years for peace and Liao, but I don't know if I can count it." Yang said with some reluctance: "If there is peace, there is no need to be afraid. It will be great for our family to be together."
Yang Daman thought for a while and said: "It's almost three years. You don't know how powerful the army is. The Jianlu army is going downhill so hard that it really won't last much longer."
After a pause, he said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, the war is not what you think. Hundreds of artillery blasted over, and the Jianlu were already in a state of panic. If they charge with bayonets, they will be defeated."
Yang glanced at her husband and didn't quite believe it, but she didn't question it and nodded with a forced smile.
"You must attend night school. The most important thing is for Xiaohe to learn and read." Yang Daman changed the topic and asked: "You should supervise him diligently and don't let him be lazy."
"Dad, don't worry!" Yang Xiaohe interjected from the side: "Don't worry about it, Mom, I will definitely go and study hard."
Yang glanced at her son, with a happy smile on her face.
Yang Daman also grinned and encouraged: "As long as you are sensible, it is definitely not a bad thing to study more." After saying that, he pointed out his hand and said with a smile: "There is a meat seller over there, let's weigh two pounds and go back.
Make dumplings and eat them.”
Yang nodded and said, "Whatever else you want to eat, I'll make it for you in the next two days."
He was about to end his vacation and return to the army. No matter how reluctant Yang Daman was to leave, he would not dare to disobey military discipline.
Hearing what his wife said, he couldn't help but scratch his head and said, "The food in the army is very good, but there's nothing you want to eat. We bought whatever you wanted to eat together."
Mrs. Yang didn't want to spend money, but she still cast her eyes on her son's face, kindly and dotingly, and asked for his opinion.
Yang Xiaohe chuckled and said, "Let's buy a chicken. I picked so many mushrooms. Don't waste them. Let's make chicken stewed with mushrooms."

"Okay, let your mother recuperate as well." Yang Daman nodded with a smile, reached out and patted his son on the shoulder.
Yang felt warm in her heart, looking at her husband and son, feeling happier than ever before.
………………
The plan for winter military training has been put on the current agenda, and training with combat is also included. Small-scale raids will be carried out around Jianlu's new defense line.
For the Jianlu, every movement will consume their precious food and supplies. But for the Dongjiang Army, even if they just march and then retreat, it will also increase the army's winter combat experience.
Some equipment and supplies cannot be perfected out of imagination. Only in practice will the deficiencies be noticed.
At this time, Guo Dajing had to put down his unfinished battle plan and entertain He Kegang and other Liao Town generals with a cheerful face.
Compared with his ease, He Kegang and others seemed a little uneasy. After all, how to arrange them was more difficult than those ordinary soldiers.
"You don't have to worry. After being merged into Dongjiang Town, the title will remain unchanged. As long as you can make meritorious deeds, your promotion will be subject to the same standards as the generals of the original Dongjiang Town."
Guo Dajing first comforted him, then took out the Ministry of War's text and asked He Kegang and others to pass it on to them.
It turns out that it was really a merger, or rather it was annexed by Dongjiang Town, and there is no longer a Liao Town designation!
Although He Kegang and others had expected it, they still showed secret emotions after learning the final result.
No matter what, if you stay in a group for a long time, you will always have a sense of belonging. This is the biggest difference between officers and ordinary soldiers.
They have adapted to the system in Liao Town and are used to that kind of work. Once the environment changes, they will inevitably feel disappointed and uneasy.
What's more, they also had complaints. Although they huddled and defended the city, they did not surrender to the Jianlu. They still repelled the Jianlu, saved the city, and provided a barrier for the gate.
Even if the merits and demerits were balanced, in their view, the court's actions were a bit cold and heartless.
Guo Dajing saw this in his eyes, smiled indifferently, and said slowly: "Whether it is Dongjiang Town or Liao Town, they are all the troops of the imperial court. You and I are also ministers of the Ming Dynasty, so why should we feel sad and disappointed?"
He Kegang braced himself, knowing that he was the leader, so he had to keep his energy up and not let others underestimate him.
"What Guo Shuai said is absolutely true. We are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. We should not have any sectarian views." He Kegang cupped his hands and said: "The Dongjiang Army is the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty. We are very lucky to be able to join it.
.”
Guo Dajing is not humble at all. He deserves the title of the strongest army. No one can match him in terms of combat power or record.
"You are not familiar with Dongjiang Army's tactics. In the following time, you will be assigned to various departments of Dongjiang Army to familiarize yourself with them."
"The Dongjiang Army currently has five associations. After the training is completed, it will be expanded to a sixth association, which will be led by generals. This will take about three or four months. I hope that you can integrate into the Dongjiang Army as soon as possible and fight in the next Pingliao War.
China Construction has made great achievements.”
You have come with more than 10,000 troops, which is equivalent to the strength of an alliance. In the end, you will have a similar army, and you will lead it.
Although it seems to be the most benevolent and righteous, how many soldiers in the expanded Sixth Association will be from the original Liao Town?
Only through this method can the imprint of Liao Zhen be completely removed, and Mao Wenlong and Guo Dajing can use it with confidence.
"We will just follow the court's arrangements and abide by Commander Guo's orders." He Kegang, on behalf of the generals, expressed a gesture that satisfied Guo Dajing.
Guo Dajing smiled and said: "You all have a bumpy sea journey and have rested in the city for a few days. You are also familiar with the military regulations and disciplines of the Dongjiang Army."
With that said, he stood up and invited: "I have already set up a banquet to welcome you all."
Liu Xingzuo, Li Weiluan and other Dongjiang generals were also present. They stood up one after another and led the new officers to the nearby hall for the banquet with a smile.
"Shuai Guo, should we go to see Shuai Mao?" He Kegang accompanied Guo Dajing and asked with some uncertainty.
Guo Dajing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Shuai Mao has received the news and is coming to Gaizhou in the next couple of days."
"This kind of labor is shameful." He Kegang said with some shame: "I should wait for the newcomer to go and see him."
"There are no new or old friends." Guo Dajing stretched out his hand to make a greeting gesture and said casually: "We are all Paoze brothers. We fought side by side against Jianlu before, so there is no need to be so indifferent."
After a pause, Guo Dajing added: "Mao Shuai also gave the generals who brought their families half a month's leave so that they could return to the military camp with peace of mind after settling in."
"Thank you Mao Shuai, thank you Guo Shuai." He Kegang felt the importance here and hurriedly handed over his hand to express his thanks.
Regarding the generals of Liao Town, Guo Dajing felt that since he wanted to accept them, he should show sincerity. If they did not know how to praise them, then it would be reasonable to deal with them in the future.
When these people get to the army, they will surely see the difference between Dongjiang Army and Liao Town, and understand that Dongjiang Town's arrangement is normal.
After all, there are obvious differences between the two armies in terms of weapons, equipment, and tactics. Even the defense that Liao Zhen may feel good at, the Dongjiang Army is many times stronger than them.
………………
Regarding the placement of officers and soldiers in Liao Town, there are some differences between officers and soldiers, but they are not very big.
On the contrary, Dongjiang Town may have invested more manpower and material resources in ordinary soldiers.
Because being able to integrate as quickly as possible will increase the strength of the Dongjiang Army. As for the generals, it doesn't matter if there are more or less generals.
Moreover, the requirements of ordinary soldiers are obviously lower and easier to meet.
As the morning sun shone down, Liu Haishan yawned and pushed the door open as he walked out. The cool air immediately hit his face, making his anxiety disappear.
I had a really good sleep, the heat from the heated kang was very refreshing.
I smelled the smell of fireworks in my nose, and many people in the village were already lighting fires for cooking.
"Are you going to collect firewood today? Do you want your son to follow you?" The wife came out with a basin of water and asked her man.
Liu Haishan waved his hand and said: "There is no need for him to follow me. Let him take care of the fence in the yard."
