Instructor Li looked at Lin Yi: "I think it's okay. If you are willing to apply to your superiors, I will be the first to sign it."
The current battalion headquarters is the grassroots government unit. If a decision is to be made, the battalion headquarters will naturally make the decision first. However, the admission of children to daycare and the placement of wives are matters that can only be decided within the brigade. Therefore, the brigade political office must make decisions on this matter.
I had to agree, so I immediately dialed the number of an officer from the Political Department.
Officer Chen from the Political Department was very surprised when he received Lin Yi's call: "Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, how come you, a busy man, thought of calling me?"
Director Chen is in charge of the dual support work in the Political Department. When Lin Yi was the assistant to the brigade commander, he had to deal with him a lot. He handled almost all local contacts by himself, so he was very familiar with Director Chen, so
I explained Sergeant Qin’s situation completely, and the key point was that Sergeant Qin’s salary should not be included in the family’s annual income.
But the answer given by Director Chen poured cold water on Lin Yi: "Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, whether Sergeant Qin's wife has a job, and whether Sergeant Qin's salary is included in the family's annual income are two different things, but I
I understand what you mean. You are simply saying that Sergeant Qin supported the whole family with his own efforts.
But if you really want to get special approval for your family members to accompany the army this time, you can't start with the salary. After all, the salary is transparent, and the army will not owe Sergeant Qin a penny of salary. So if we just talk about family conditions,
There is no way that Sergeant Qin’s wife can qualify as a special soldier."
Lin Yi quickly asked: "What should we say regardless of family income?"
Director Chen carefully reminded: "It's very simple, that is the physical condition of Sergeant Qin's wife. Didn't you say that Sergeant Qin's wife suffers from a chronic disease? If you start from this aspect, the probability of successful approval will be particularly high. After all,
The army itself must be stable before it can stabilize other places, and if you want soldiers to be stable, you must stabilize your family members."
Lin Yi didn't quite understand: "But his wife has an objective condition of chronic disease. Everyone in the camp has known about it for a long time, but it's of no use."
Seeing that Lin Yi was confused, Director Chen continued to remind: "You emphasized earlier that the issue of Sergeant Qin's family income does that mean that the income of Sergeant Qin's wife's parents has been concealed?"
Lin Yi didn't understand: "What does the income of Sergeant Qin's wife's parents have to do with Sergeant Qin? These are two families. The income of my wife's parents cannot be counted towards Sergeant Qin."
Director Chen smiled: "Of course, the parents' income cannot be counted on Sergeant Qin, but as long as it is proved that the parents of Sergeant Qin's wife are employed, it can be shown that they have no extra time to take care of Sergeant Qin's wife.
.
This also means that there is no one to take care of Sergeant Qin's wife who suffers from a chronic disease. Even if the army leadership is on a humanitarian basis, they will agree to approve it. They can't watch the family members of soldiers get sick and have no one to take care of them.
Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, I can only say this much, I can’t remind you anymore, the rest is up to you to figure out on your own.”
Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading.
Lin Yi saw Director Chen hang up the phone and suddenly became enlightened. He quickly looked at Instructor Li: "Do you know if the parents of Sergeant Qin's wife are working?"
Instructor Li only knew that Sergeant Qin's wife often lived at her parents' house, and did not know whether her parents were employed, so she was stunned: "I don't know that."
Lin Yi whispered: "I think I have a solution. Let's go directly to Sergeant Qin's parents' house later and ask her to meet there."
When Instructor Li saw the happy Lin Yi, he quickly asked: "Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, please tell me in detail."
Lin Yi waved his hand: "You will understand when you get there."
The vehicle drove very fast, and it took more than seven hours to arrive at the home of Sergeant Qin's wife's parents. Lin Yi knocked on the door. It was opened by a energetic middle-aged and elderly man. Lin Yi showed his ID: "Hello, comrade,
Are you Sergeant Qin's father-in-law?"
The old man nodded: "You are Xiao Qin's leader, please come and take a seat."
At this time, a woman came out with her child in her arms. When she saw Instructor Chen, she proactively said, "Are you Instructor Chen? We have met in the video."
Instructor Chen quickly explained: "I have a very good relationship with Lao Qin, so I met Sergeant Qin several times when he video-recorded with his wife."
Then he quickly introduced: "This is our Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, who is here for a special visit."
Mrs. Qin quickly gave up her position: "Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, please come in quickly."
Lin Yi was not polite, walked directly into the living room and sat down, and then said: "We don't have much time, so I just asked the question directly. Do your parents have jobs?"
When Mrs. Qin heard this, she was stunned for a moment and hesitated to speak. However, the old man had seen the market and waved his hand: "Neither my wife nor I have a job. Now the whole family relies on Xiao Qin's salary, so
Family income is very tight.”
This is an obvious way of speaking. It must have been Master Qin who taught them to say this. Lin Yi looked at Mrs. Qin: "How old are you this year?"
Mrs. Qin quickly replied: "Thirty-three."
If she is thirty-three, then her father is probably not over sixty years old. After all, in that era, there were not many people who got married and had children after the age of twenty-seven. The old man probably still had a job, or was still
There is no statutory retirement age of sixty.
This is easy to handle. Lin Yi immediately said: "If you two elders have jobs, then your daughter will be more likely to join the army. After all, if you have jobs, you won't be able to devote too much time to taking care of your daughter. Then
The superiors will naturally consider letting her go to her husband for care."
When Instructor Li heard this, he immediately understood what Lin Yi meant. Hey, this trick is really good. He would actually think about it.
So he immediately echoed: "You two, maybe you didn't hear clearly what our Deputy Battalion Commander Lin asked just now. What he just asked you was whether you have a job now, not whether you had a job before. After all, there are no jobs now.
Iron, it’s normal to change jobs frequently, and it’s not uncommon to be temporarily unemployed for a while. I asked you before, and just because you said you didn’t have a job, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have a job now.”
Qin's father-in-law is a sensible person. Even after being reminded by Instructor Li, he said directly: "I am only 58 years old this year. I can't retire without looking for a job. I must go to work. Although her mother has retired,
, but her working experience is short and her retirement salary is only over a thousand a month, so she is currently working some temporary jobs, and her mother plans to find a job tomorrow to work long-term.
Now we, the old couple, are struggling to support ourselves. If we devote more time to taking care of our daughter, it will indeed be a little bit beyond our capabilities."
