Chapter 328: Chapter 327: Differences

Who doesn’t long to be cherished in someone’s heart?

The mother’s happiness also lifted Xingxing and Yueyue’s spirits quite a bit.

At night, it was time for the award ceremony.

It was held in the auditorium of the Huan Sha Island Military District.

Sheng Zexi, Xingxing, and Yueyue all won awards and received honorary medals.

Amber also went on stage, representing herself and the four pups, to receive honorary medals.

Looking at those honorary medals hanging around her neck.

She knew that most of these were for her pups.

Her pups, even before becoming military dogs, had already earned honor through their outstanding performance.

Once they become military dogs, their performance will surely be even better, definitely, definitely better than her as a mother.

At this moment, Amber was sincerely proud of her pups.

–

Many people from the military district attended the award ceremony.

Of course, the most disliked people also attended.

Like the couple Lin Chushi and his wife.

Gu Jia Ning could clearly see Lin Chushi’s jealousy towards her Brother Xi.

On the other hand, Zhang Qiumei looked at them with a bland gaze, as if she was above it all and didn’t care anymore.

Gu Jia Ning just glanced at them and couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to these people.

After the award ceremony ended, their life returned to peace.

When Xingxing, Yueyue, and Amber received news from Sheng Zexi that the four pups were performing well at the military dog training base and were well regarded and living well, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere in the family also gradually improved.

After all, no matter how sad the separation was, life still had to go on.

It was already August, and Gu Jia Ning was nine months pregnant.

It’s said that pregnancy lasts ten months, and Gu Jia Ning was almost ready to enter the delivery phase.

In August, the national college entrance examination was held again during this summer break.

And for those who had already been admitted, it was summer vacation time.

During the summer break, the third child, Gu Yunzhou, who was studying elsewhere, returned home.

Her eldest sister-in-law, Yang Manman, also came home.

During this return, the eldest brother and sister-in-law made a decision.

This time, Yang Manman planned to take her husband and children to live in Hai City.

However, this decision led to some disagreements with the family.

So, a phone call was made to Gu Jia Ning.

“Ningning, you have no idea how much Hai City has changed since this year, it seems to change every month.”

“I can feel everything becoming more free and open.”

“The authorities are also encouraging economic development, and now no one is cracking down on those small businesses.”

“I even think that individual businesses might be legal in the future.”

“Ningning, you know, I think we’re now standing at the cusp of the times, and we must seize this rare opportunity.”

“Although I don’t know what exactly to do after taking your elder brother to Hai City, I feel there will always be opportunities, and many, many opportunities.”

“Your elder brother, he actually isn’t any less capable than I am. I think he should have more development.”

…

Over the phone, Gu Jia Ning listened to the excited words of her sister-in-law.

She could feel her sister-in-law’s excitement and thrill.

She was surprised that her sister-in-law had such a high level of perception; she herself was a reborn person and knew how things would develop later.

But her sister-in-law wasn’t.

Her sister-in-law was completely looking at it from today’s perspective, judging from what she saw and felt today with a forward-looking eye.

Over there, as Yang Manman spoke, she realized that it seemed only she was speaking.

Ningning hadn’t said a word.

Could it be…

“Ningning, you’re not thinking that I’m talking nonsense, making extravagant claims, are you?” Yang Manman asked cautiously.

Yang Manman also valued Gu Jia Ning’s opinion highly.

She also recognized her sister-in-law’s perspective.

Of course, not only she recognized it; even the in-laws acknowledged it.

Therefore, Yang Manman still hoped to gain her sister-in-law’s approval.

Just as she was worrying, Gu Jia Ning spoke up.

“Of course not, sister-in-law, I think your vision is excellent.”

“You’re amazing.”

“I also have high hopes for our country’s future economic development, and I agree with everything you’ve said.”

Yang Manman’s heart was filled with joy, “Then, Ningning, you’re in favor of your elder brother going to Hai City with me to look for opportunities?”

“Your elder brother following me to Hai City would mean leaving his job at the steel factory.”

“That’s a stable job, a real ’iron rice bowl.’”

These are the realities at present.

And Yao Chunhua and Old Gu’s concerns are the same.

The job at the steel factory, how great, how stable it is.

Still an iron rice bowl, the kind that can be passed down to future generations.

Back then, when the eldest son got this job, it caused quite a stir in the village, everyone remembers.

This is precisely why the job is considered so precious.

“Sister-in-law, let me talk to my parents on the phone, I’ll convince them,” said Gu Jia Ning.

“Eh, okay, okay.”

Soon, Yao Chunhua, the head of the household, came to answer the phone.

Old Gu also listened by the side.

Yao Chunhua didn’t start by talking about the eldest couple’s matter but asked about Gu Jia Ning’s current situation.

“Oh, if it weren’t for your second sister-in-law being pregnant too, I would have gone to the Huan Sha Island Military District to take care of you during your postpartum period.”

Yes, the second sister-in-law, Su Miao, was also pregnant.

Now over seven months, she was in the late stages of pregnancy.

The pregnancy didn’t look good.

So Yao Chunhua was a bit worried.

Concerned about the second daughter-in-law, she couldn’t attend well to her daughter.

For this, Yao Chunhua felt uneasy inside.

“It’s okay, Mom, Brother Xi’s grandmother will come to take care of me, so don’t worry.”

“You must pay more attention to second sister-in-law, when the time comes, if needed, have her take the smooth delivery pill.”

“Eh, I understand, I understand,” said the mother.

About her second sister-in-law’s pregnancy, Gu Jia Ning was aware.

She hadn’t expected that this time would be the same as last time.

This pregnancy, the second sister-in-law’s situation wasn’t very good.

Afraid that, like last time, there might be complications.

However, with the smooth delivery pill this time, she reminded her mother several times.

It should be fine.

After discussing this, the mother and daughter turned to the matter of the elder brother and his wife.

“Ningning, it’s not that we can’t bear for your elder brother to leave home. If he has better opportunities, your father and I support him.”

“It’s just that, going to Hai City, is it really better than working at the steel factory?”

“That’s a stable job, something that can be passed down.”

Gu Jia Ning understood why her parents had such concerns and wasn’t surprised.

In fact, it wasn’t just her parents, even later, many people in the midst of this era’s wave were thinking this way.

But…

“Mom, Dad, what if one day this ’iron rice bowl’ is no longer secure?”

“What if one day the steel factory closes down?”
