Ling Chengyan returned home from the provincial city; it was almost nine in the evening.
Wang Liansheng couldn't leave work on time, so her second sister-in-law, Zheng Xiaotian, came over to make dinner for the kids.
Ling Chengyan saw that Shi Tou was sleepy and quickly drove Zheng Xiaotian back.
"Yan'er," her second sister-in-law called her.
Ling Chengyan looked back while driving and asked, "Second Sister, is there something you need?"
Zheng Xiaotian said, "You and Lao Si are both busy working. Why not let the kids stay at my place from now on?"
Ling Chengyan instinctively wanted to politely refuse, but she hesitated and swallowed the words.
The front line is where she wants to go.
A rotation generally lasts about six months, plus a month beforehand to acclimate and another month for debriefing afterward... If she could truly go, it'd take about a year altogether.
