She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 859 - 797: Famine Era 38 (Second Update)

Both Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother married girls from poor families. Because of the betrothal gifts, the Ye family almost emptied their pockets, but both wives are diligent, steady, and filial, so it wasn’t a loss.

Although the betrothal gifts were high, considering the situations of Fifth and Sixth Brothers, they couldn’t afford to be too picky and chose women likely to bear children.

Since they were likely to bear children, naturally, they weren’t ’good-looking.’

Seventh Brother became a Company Commander, and Eighth Brother a Platoon Leader. Although they haven’t started to date, at least they can report on their situations to the family, which is good news for the whole Ye family.

Moreover, Third Brother mentioned that Ye Yu probably had feelings since the last time Ji Huzi visited, but just hadn’t mentioned it.

In the summer of 1954, Ye Yu got lost in the mountains while playing near a classmate’s house and encountered a herd of wild boars. Coincidentally, she was saved by Ji Huzi, who was training in the mountains. Fate arrived just like that, impossible to stop!

So that’s how it is. Ye Yu is much more good-looking than herself, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Ji Huzi has gained a lot.

Considering Ji Huzi’s age isn’t young anymore, they plan to marry this National Day. Once Ye Yu graduates, they’ll change the situation of living apart.

Ye Huan thought, no matter what, she must go home once this year.

In September 1955, Ye Huan finally successfully completed her internship. After repeatedly contemplating between obstetrics and gynecology and neurosurgery, she ultimately chose the emergency department.

Because the emergency department demands the highest quality and the strongest skills from doctors, one can learn more there.

Her hesitation over obstetrics and gynecology was also due to wanting to do something for military wives, but combining various factors, she chose the emergency department in the end.

Generally, their military hospital receives emergency patients transferred from field hospitals, so whether it’s professional quality or treatment conditions, they far surpass small hospitals within the military. This is also why she rejected Tong Zhan several times.

It’s all just to make her skills more solid.

In late September, she received a three-day leave. Fortunately, Tong Zhan also finished his task and got a week’s rest.

Since they were relatively close to Hebei, on September 30th, they drove to a military district guesthouse where Ji Huzi’s certain marine corps was located.

Only her parents and elder brother came from the family. Ye Yu will have another ceremony back home in November, so her uncle and aunt didn’t come.

Just their siblings came, and on National Day, Ye Yu is also getting married from the military guesthouse.

The arrival of Ye Huan and her husband made both Ye Yu and Ji Huzi very happy. Ji Huzi, in particular, seemed to have forgotten how unconvinced he used to be. To improve his grades in cultural subjects, he worked extremely hard, and reality proved that effort and result are proportional. Without that motivation, how could he have become a regiment leader?

So, towards Tong Zhan, he sincerely expressed his gratitude, to which Tong Zhan just laughed it off and patted his shoulder while saying.

"I didn’t expect us to end up in the same boat. Don’t dwell on past matters. You know how hard it is to find a wife these days."

Ji Huzi didn’t expect Tong Zhan to be so straightforward. After a hearty laugh, everything was understood without words.

On the other hand, Ye Huan took out the wedding gift for her sister, a joyous three-piece set, and a red wool coat, just the right outfit for the wedding weather.

But they didn’t expect, besides Ye Huan and Tong Zhan, on the National Day itself, the fourth son of the Ye Family, Ye Jiahao, who was far away in Chongqing, also came with his wife to attend Ye Yu’s wedding. The family reunion made Ye Yu cry tears of joy, and the overall strength of her maiden family provided Ye Yu with a solid backing.

Third Brother, with his high education (high school) and personal skills, was transferred to the Luoyang City Grain Bureau at the beginning of the year.

Third Sister-in-law was also transferred to a middle school in Luoyang as a Chinese teacher. Although her education level wasn’t initially high, she later self-studied to a high school level and received a high school graduation certificate, so she is qualified to teach Chinese to seventh graders.

Fourth Brother, Ye Jiahao, is a Battalion Commander in an armored unit in Chongqing, and his wife, Zhao Yingying, is an experienced nurse who served on the Korean battlefield.

The abilities of Ye Huan and Tong Zhan go without saying. Although Ji Huzi is the regiment leader here, the highest position, he still has to bow to Tong Zhan.

Even Ye Yu, who is already a senior in college, will at least teach at a key middle school after graduation and might be transferred to Hebei based on military family qualifications.

The Ye family’s elders, watching their children being so outstanding and respected, and finding good partners, were moved to tears of joy.

The youngest, Ye Jialei, even vowed in front of several brothers-in-law and brothers, that he, too, would join the military and attend a military academy in the future.

The whole family being soldiers and military wives gave the youngest, Ye Jialei, the greatest motivation.

Initially, no one took it seriously, but Ye Huan calculated the time. By 1965, many universities ceased classes, and at that time, their Leizi would have been in college. If he went to a military academy, many troubles could be avoided. So she seriously advised him that if he wanted to attend a good military academy, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Military Engineering College in Harbin would be the first choice, as it’s the predecessor of the National Defense Science and Technology University.

The ten-year-old Ye Jialei was already a fourth grader in elementary school, his grades were not bad, and with the help of Third Sister-in-law, he even skipped a grade. With hard work, there’s hope.

After Ye Huan’s wedding, she invited the rest of the Ye family to visit Tong Zhan’s unit and her hospital.

After seeing the work environment and living conditions of their daughter and son-in-law, the elderly couple was completely reassured. On October 3rd, at four in the morning, they sent the family off on a return train, purchasing sleeper tickets for their comfort. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Afterwards, Tong Zhan took Ye Huan back to the hospital. With a wistful look in his eyes, he had to end his holiday and return to work.

It was hard enough to get a holiday, but he didn’t even have time to embrace his wife. How could he not be frustrated? Haha~~~
