After liberation, with troops stationed there and women's federations spreading propaganda, the number of children being lost decreased.

The idea of ​​valuing sons over daughters cannot be changed overnight, but Lin Zhilan wants to give the girls here some hope.

When girls have value and can earn money, their status will naturally improve.

Lin Zhilan felt that a score of 2 to 8 was not aggressive.

The leaders began a heated discussion. Lin Zhilan walked to Su Lang's side and whispered, "Do you think my request is excessive?"

"Of course not," Su Lang said, reaching out to tidy her hair. "I support whatever you do."

Lin Zhilan smiled and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, hooked her little finger around his and shook it.

Su Lang's heart skipped a beat, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he forced himself not to kiss her.

"Commander Su, we've brought you a bed!" A loud shout suddenly came from outside, and the entire courtyard fell silent as everyone looked at Su Lang and Lin Zhilan.

Of course, they didn't miss their hands clasped together either.

Lin Zhilan quickly withdrew her hand, her ears turning bright red. "I'll go open the door."

"I'll go." Su Lang, thick-skinned as ever, walked straight through the crowd and opened the courtyard gate.

"Oh, Commander Su, you have so many guests at your home today!"

"..."

"Could you please help me carry it inside?"

"Okay, okay."

A large bed passed through the group, and they suddenly realized that they were not in a meeting room, but in someone's home.

"Ahem." Commander Gu cleared his throat. "I think Dr. Lin's request is quite reasonable. More and more family members are coming to the island, which is a good opportunity to arrange work."

Upon hearing this, the county party secretary no longer had time to argue about the gender ratio. "Commander Gu, we also lack job opportunities locally. This matter still needs to be discussed properly."

The county magistrate quickly chimed in, "Yes, Commander Gu, our island is too poor. You need to leave more jobs for our locals."

The heated discussion just now turned into a plea for poverty.

Lin Zhilan was once again glad that she hadn't become the factory manager; she really didn't know how to handle this kind of thing.

Commander Gu was also a bit troubled, so he quickly shifted the blame to Deputy Factory Director Qian, "Comrade Qian, what do you think?"

Qian Changling wiped the sweat from his brow. "Commander, isn't it too early to talk about this?"

"Where is it earlier?" Commander Gu said sternly. "Go back and handle the formalities. We'll build the factory here immediately. Once the machines and medicinal herbs arrive and the formalities are completed, we can start construction right away."

Lin Zhilan finally figured it out.

These soldiers have top-notch execution capabilities.

Deputy Factory Director Qian glanced at his watch, made up his mind, and said, "Sir, then I won't go back for now. I'll organize all the documents here and submit them together later!"

"Great!" Commander Gu patted him on the shoulder approvingly. "Comrade Qian Changling, these matters are up to you. Since you're not in a hurry to leave, let's have a meeting at the military region this afternoon to finalize everything that needs to be decided, and then everyone can stop crowding at Dr. Lin's house."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

After saying goodbye to Lin Zhilan, everyone left the courtyard.

The courtyard gate was closed, blocking the view from the outside.

Lin Zhilan and Su Lang then realized that the two children were already asleep in the living room, leaning against the table.

No wonder it was so quiet just now, Lin Zhilan chuckled and told Su Lang to take the child to the room.

After leaving, Qian Changling went straight back to the guesthouse.

Section Chief Jian has already packed his luggage and is just waiting to set off back to Beijing.

Qian Changling rushed back excitedly, "Old Jian, let's go back in a few days. I've decided, I'm going to set up a pharmaceutical factory on the island!"

"Huh?" Section Chief Jian uttered a short, questioning sound.

"Old Jian, we're short-handed on the island, want to join me?"

"Director Qian," Section Chief Jian chuckled awkwardly, "I'll pass. I'm doing quite well in the capital, and my family is all there too."

Qian Changling had originally planned to discuss the future with him, but after hearing what he said, he also felt that it made sense.

But Section Chief Jian was someone he had personally promoted, and Qian Changling still felt regretful about losing a colleague who had fought alongside him.

"Alright, do your best at the Capital Pharmaceutical Factory."

"Alright," Section Chief Jian glanced at his watch, "Director Qian, it's getting late. Since you're not leaving, then I..."

"Then help me..."

Qian Changling wanted him to pass on a message to his family, but Section Chief Jian didn't even dare to look him in the eye. He picked up his luggage, walked around him, and left.

After a moment of stunned silence, Qian Changling suddenly realized what was happening, and then let out a bitter laugh.

It turns out that his so-called joint efforts were just wishful thinking; Old Jian had already planned to switch sides long ago.

His shoulders seemed to slump for a moment, but he quickly rallied. The pharmaceutical factory had a lot to do, and he didn't have time to worry about such trivial matters.

……

Song Fang finally came to join the army.

Before she came, Zhou Jianjun told her that the conditions on the island were not good and advised her to stay in her hometown.

Fortunately, she didn't listen to the advice.

The villagers live in single-story houses, while the family compound houses multi-story buildings, which are even better than the houses in their town.

The weather was fine, so the cotton-padded coats we brought were of no use.

Zhou Jianjun went to report to the army, and Song Fang paced around the room, extremely pleased.

Looking down from the window on the third floor is a little scary.

Song Fang touched her belly, realizing that she had indeed married the right person.

If you marry one of those peasant men from the countryside, you can forget about ever living in an apartment building in your lifetime.

but……

Lin Zhilan married the regimental commander, but it's unknown how many rooms she was allocated...

With this thought in mind, Song Fang's joy at moving into an apartment building seemed to be diminished.

Nothing was purchased for the house; Zhou Jianjun got lunch from the canteen.

As the two were eating, the aunt who lived next door came over with two bowls of food. Seeing that they were eating canteen food, she understood and introduced them with a smile: "I live next door to you. My son's name is Ding Yinzhu, and he is the battalion commander of the Third Regiment. I heard you just arrived, so I came to visit. I specially cooked two extra dishes for you at noon."

Zhou Jianjun stood up with a smile on his face. "Auntie, you're too kind. Please come in and sit down. Song Fang, quickly pour some water for Auntie."

"No, no, I have things to do at home, so I won't trouble you. She's heavily pregnant, so please don't move. I just came to bring you some groceries, in case you haven't cooked and won't have any food for lunch."

Upon hearing this, Song Fang sat down again, having just lifted her buttocks.

Aunt Ding glanced at her movements, and the smile on her face froze for a few seconds. "Then I'll go back first. Just give me back the bowl when you're done eating."

Zhou Jianjun gratefully accepted the bowl and saw Aunt Ding out.

Two bowls of dishes were placed on the table. Song Fang glanced at them, somewhat surprised, "Why is there fish too?"

Zhou Jianjun explained, "There are plenty of fish on the island, so no tickets are needed."

"No wonder you're so generous," Song Fang scoffed.

Zhou Jianjun looked up at her and said, "Now that you've come to join the army, you should get along well with these aunties and sisters-in-law."

Song Fang realized that she had been a little too proud just now, mainly because when she heard that the other party's son was only a battalion commander, she subconsciously felt a bit contemptuous.
