Transmigrated Canon Fodder, Please Calm Down! Chapter 609

With Song Ye’s help, the matter of Xie Shijun working in the city was basically settled.

Given Song Ye’s current status, wasn’t handling something like this an easy task?

After meeting Song Ye, Xie Shijun genuinely admired this young man who was a few years younger than him.

In less than ten years, he had transformed their hometown, changed the fate of everyone in Tang County, and turned it into a leading city nationwide.

He wasn’t a fool. Judging by Tang County’s current development, Song Ye definitely wouldn’t stop here. What used to be Tangjia Village, now Tang County, might one day become Tang City, or even a directly governed municipality. As someone from his hometown, of course he hoped to see such prosperity.

He had thought that once he left the military, there would be no place to realize his ambitions, but after talking with Song Ye, he realized that no matter where he was, he could still shine and make a difference.

It was a pity he couldn’t stay in Tang County, but going to the city was just as good. He could still contribute to Tang County’s development in some small way.

Xie Shijun returned full of excitement to share the good news with Xu Qiulan, who was overjoyed.

Her son finally had a solid job lined up after his transition out of the military. In her eyes, with Song Ye putting in a word, it was guaranteed to be a good position. And the fact that it was in the city directly was a blessing earned over eight lifetimes. She felt incredibly grateful to Song Ye.

“Yingzi still hasn’t woken up?” Xie Shijun thought of Chen Ying, who had looked so pale earlier. “We were in a rush while traveling. She hasn’t gone on a long trip in a long time. She might not be used to it.”

“Of course. She’s been running all over with you. Shijun, you have to treat her well,” Xu Qiulan said.

Xie Shijun nodded. He hesitated for a moment but still didn’t voice his doubts. When it came to Chen Ying, he always felt like there wasn’t any love in the way she looked at him.

Back then, their engagement had been something their parents arranged. It couldn’t really be called a love marriage, and now that the kids were grown, it was pointless to dwell on it.

As long as Chen Ying was willing to live a good life with him, he would not mistreat her.

But he couldn’t help but feel a little envious. When he visited Song Ye’s home and saw how warm and loving the couple was, that was the kind of married life he had imagined.

“Speaking of Tang Guo and Director Song, they’re both really good people,” Xu Qiulan said with some regret. “But after being married for so many years, those two still aren’t planning to have children. Just the other day, there were quite a few people eyeing Director Song.”

“They don’t have kids?”

“No, and from what I hear, they don’t plan to.”

Xie Shijun was a bit surprised. Were there really people this clear-headed in this day and age?

Xu Qiulan chuckled. “Now the whole of Tang County is paying attention to them. Some girls who think they look good even believe they have a shot.” She spat on the ground. “They really don’t know their place. Do they think Tang Guo and Director Song don’t have a good relationship? I think they just want to live as a couple and enjoy each other’s company.”

Hearing her say that, Xie Shijun laughed. His old mother definitely thought differently from others.

“Mom, don’t you think it’s a bad thing they don’t have children?” Xie Shijun had been away from home for many years and had also heard about some couples who chose not to have kids, saying they wanted to be DINKs (dual income, no kids) and just enjoy a lifetime of love.

“That’s their business. What does it have to do with outsiders like us?” Xu Qiulan said with amusement. “Shijun, don’t go sticking your nose into it. That’s between Director Song and his wife. Mom is telling you this to warn you, lest you offend someone. Even if everyone in Tang County gets divorced, those two won’t.”

“Got it, Mom. Do I look like that kind of person? Director Song helped me, and I’m not someone who repays kindness with ingratitude. I’ll remember this in my heart.”
