Calling Home for Updates

"Then, your family only has two children. Why send one to the army and the other to the countryside?" Grandma Wang asked, somewhat puzzled.

Logically, if the older brother went to the army, the younger sister should be able to stay at home, right?

"Someone reported that my brother joining the army didn't count as going to the countryside, so one of us had to go," Su Xiaoxiao explained with a shrug, a helpless expression on her face. "Even though we argued about it, I probably didn't have to go to the countryside, but my dad's the factory director at the Steel Mill, and my mom's the director of the Women's Federation. My brother's also supposed to rise up the ranks. Even if I can't help them, I can't be a hindrance, so I just volunteered to go to the countryside."

Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands, giving an impression of resignation.

Grandma Wang and Grandpa Zhang were immediately infuriated, their faces darkening with anger.
