The girl was a little shy when she saw the enthusiastic Lin Yi, especially the strong military temperament exuding from Lin Yi, which made her feel that Lin Yi was full of shining points.
The girl shook hands, and Lin Yi invited her into the room. When chatting, Lin Yi didn't interrupt much. Both parents were talking. When the girl's parents heard that Lin Yi was only 26 years old, they became the deputy battalion commander.
I was a little surprised, but then I was a little worried.
They are well-informed, have high academic qualifications, and have more social contacts. They know that the military is the same as state-owned enterprises, and seniority always ranks first. Unless your ability can already surpass your seniority, it is difficult to succeed at a young age.
Easily promoted to leadership positions.
In the army, if you want to be promoted, there is only one shortcut, and that is to get more credit, and credit can only be exchanged for life. They are worried about this, but seeing their daughter staring at Lin Yi all the time, they also know what she is thinking.
It's all on Lin Yi.
But when I thought that Lin Yi was already a leader, he naturally didn't have to do any dangerous work, and he became less worried.
The girl's father asked at this time: "Xiao Lin, how long do you plan to stay in the army? Have you ever thought about transferring to another place?"
Lin Yi had never thought about this problem, "Uncle, this issue is not my consideration. As long as the army needs it, I am still willing to stay in the army."
When the girl's father saw such an official answer, he waved his hands repeatedly: "There's no need to be so formal. Just tell me what you think in your heart. Since it's a blind date, it's better to put this issue clearly. If this is true,
If it works, it's not a problem for the two of them to always be separated in two places."
When Lin Yi's mother saw this, she quickly said: "My Lin Yi is a soldier. He has a very heavy sense of responsibility. He will definitely weigh this matter well."
Lin Yi's father coughed, "Let Lin Yi speak for himself about this matter. Since we parents supported him to enter the military academy, we were mentally prepared for him to be away from home all year round. As the saying goes, only a country has a family. This
We still have some awareness."
Lin Jing saw that the topic came to this point, so he naturally took over, "Uncle, I tend to stay in the army. As long as the organization does not allow me to be reinstated, I will not take the initiative to submit an application for transfer. I'm really sorry.
I am a soldier, and I am not willing to lie when it comes to matters of principle."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the woman's parents changed. They are all intellectuals. They know what it means to be a soldier. It is a good thing that you dedicate your youth and make contributions to the country. I respect you very much.
But if you only think about contributing to the country, if something happens at home, who will help?
Although the Ministry of Armed Forces will come to express condolences and care for the families of military personnel, they cannot come every day. As a child, you have the responsibility to fulfill your obligations to both parents.
In fact, being responsible to your parents is not a big problem. After all, both parents are employees, and their work units take care of their food, clothing, housing, and transportation. But this is unfair to the daughter. Officers only have one vacation a year, which means that the two of them have to take a vacation once a year.
They can only be reunited for a month. If this continues, my daughter will not be able to bear it. After all, the burden of a family cannot be borne by just one party.
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly cooled down. The introducer, Aunt Wang, quickly said: "Let the children discuss matters between the children. As parents, we cannot possibly report and take care of everything."
Lin Yi's father also nodded, "Let's eat some food first and let the two children get to know each other first. Girls are people's teachers, so they will naturally have their own thoughts and ideas."
Soon the meal was almost finished. After Lin Yi paid the bill on the pretext of going to the toilet, he returned to the box. Aunt Wang also said at the right time: "Why don't you let the two children go out for a walk first and give the young people some space of their own?"
.”
The girl's father did not dissuade her. After all, Lin Yi was a soldier and had been upright throughout his life. It would be extremely safe for his daughter to go for a walk with him, so he looked at his daughter and said, "Go home after the transfer. We will wait for you at home."
The girl nodded repeatedly, "Okay."
After saying that, he followed Lin Yi and walked out.
After leaving the private room, the girl said: "Eating with adults is very depressing."
Lin Yi laughed, "Yes, what our parents ask is always very comprehensive, and they always think more about us. By the way, I remember the People's Park is very lively, why don't we go there for a walk?"
The girl quickly waved her hand, "Let's go to the temple fair. Today is the Lantern Festival, and there are fireworks there."
"Oh yes!"
Lin Yi patted his head and said, "I almost forgot about such an important holiday. Let's go now."
When Lin Yi's father went out, he gave Lin Yi the car key. The car was an ordinary family car, and it had been driven for a long time, so it was a bit old.
The girl didn't mind it. She sat in the passenger seat and said, "Actually, I also drove the car, and it was parked next to it. You have been in the army all year round, and you must have driven your parents' car. If you drive away, how should your parents get home?"
?Why don't you leave the keys at the front desk of the restaurant and let your parents drive away later? Let's take my car there."
Lin Yi thought about it and it made sense. After all, girls would feel more at ease driving their own cars. "Okay, I'll leave the keys at the front desk and send a text message to my dad."
After everything was done, the girl picked up Lin Yi in the car and got into the passenger seat. Lin Yi knew that the girl's family was indeed well-off. Even though Lin Yi didn't know much about cars, he also knew that the brand was called Mini.
For those who only know how to look at the bid, they would think that this is a compact car, nothing eye-catching, but anyone who has seen a few cars knows that this car is enough to buy a BMW three series, which is said to be a luxury car.
Nothing too much.
The girl said while driving: "My name is Pang Beibei. I graduated from the Normal University two years ago. Now I am working as a teacher in No. 3 Middle School. I have become a full-time teacher. My salary is not bad, but it should not be as good as yours. After all, you are now the leader."
Lin Yi waved his hands repeatedly, "My salary is high purely because I am in the army."
But as soon as he finished speaking, a siren sounded behind him. Lin Yi looked back and saw that it was a fire truck, and hurriedly said: "Keep to the right and give way to the fire truck."
Of course Pang Beibei knew that. After all, she had just graduated from a normal university, and she knew that the prerequisite for teaching and educating people was the unity of knowledge and action.
But the fire trucks passed by one after another. It was obvious that something big had happened. Lin Yi originally wanted Pang Beibei to drive the car and follow the fire trucks. After all, it was the holidays and the firefighters also had vacations. At this time, they could have more strength.
Always good.
But when I thought about the fact that I was on a blind date and it was the first time for me and the girl to meet, it would be too rude to say this, so I had to hold back and say nothing.
But when Pang Beibei saw Lin Yi's eyes staring at the fire truck in the distance, she guessed his thoughts and immediately said, "You are dressed so formally. It's not convenient for you to put out a fire."
