After returning, Suning just regarded the banquet as a greeting and greeting from an old friend to his friend's son, and did not get too attached in the following days.
Yes! It’s clinging!
Suning realized that there was a huge difference in identity between him and them. Their world did not belong to him at all now, but he still had to hold back his heart and insist on himself. Blindly taking shortcuts was definitely not what he wanted, and it would probably end up harming him in the end.
Own.
Jiang Defu, who was far away on the island, received a call from Ningbo. Seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar number, Jiang Defu was stunned for a moment, "Hello, Lao Li? I'm Jiang Defu!"
"Lao Jiang, you old boy is so unkind!" Li Zhicheng's hearty voice came from the phone.
"Huh? How did I offend you again?" Jiang Defu was confused at this time.
"Jiang Defu, let me ask you, you arranged for your son to serve as a soldier next to me, why didn't you say hello to me in advance?"
"Huh? That's it!" Only then did Jiang Defu feel relieved, and then explained to his old classmate on the phone with a wry smile, "Old Li, whether this kid can persist for one period is a question, so I don't need to bother you.
"
"Haha, it seems you don't care enough about your son." Hearing that Jiang Defu thought Suning couldn't survive the first round, he couldn't help laughing, "Lao Jiang, we had a big competition in Ningbo some time ago, and this kid from Changyi
But he’s the best in skills and shooting!”
"Ah? I never heard him say that!"
"Haha, so this is your father's problem." Li Zhicheng on the other end of the phone shook his head helplessly.
"Hey! Lao Li, you should know about this complicated situation in our family." We are all old classmates for many years and know each other's family situations well. "My son grew up in the countryside of his hometown and is not close to me at all.
If you really wanted to be a soldier this time, you might never contact me in your life."
"Hey! I know a little bit about the matter. Don't worry about the child being with me!"
"Thank you, Lao Li!"
"Haha, Jiang Defu, you are pretending to be with me again." It was rare to see Jiang Defu being polite to him. Li Zhicheng couldn't help but laugh, "When I was in school before, why didn't I see that you were so knowledgeable and courteous?
Woolen cloth!"
"Fuck you! Lao Li!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Defu felt his head was buzzing when he thought of this cheap son. It might be impossible for him to take the initiative to get close to Suning.
...
Life in the army is very regular. You get up at six o'clock every day, turn off the lights and go to bed at 9:30 in the evening, and there is a lunch break in between. However, you only need to train six days a week, leaving one day for the soldiers to rest.
Every time Suning trains, he is never lazy or spares no effort. Every time he does not toss himself to exhaustion, it is not over. Of course, the results are also very gratifying. He has always been at the forefront of the team, and he is still far ahead.
Since the competition, Suning often went out to participate in various skills competitions, and achieved outstanding results for the 302 regiment, which also spread Suning's name greatly. Gradually, everyone in the army became aware of the existence of a strong soldier like Suning.
.
During every weekend break, unlike other soldiers who like to go shopping in the city, Suning is fishing at the beach. He sits leisurely on the beach blowing the sea breeze, listening to the sound of waves lapping on the coast and seagulls chirping. Suning is momentarily intoxicated.
, and then unconsciously... fell asleep...
Li Qianqian's life is also very regular. Because she can't see her own eyes, she rarely goes out. Today, she suddenly wanted to go to the beach to "listen to the sea" on a whim.
After obtaining the consent of her parents, the driver first sent Li Qianqian and her nanny Xiao Lin to the beach. Then after the two got off the car, the driver waited quietly aside to protect the safety of Li Qianqian and the two at any time.
It is said that the hearing of invisible people is very sensitive. Walking on the path by the seaside, feeling the cool sea breeze and the various sounds around her made Li Qianqian feel much better.
But while walking, Li Qianqian, who has sensitive hearing, noticed something strange. How come there was a snoring sound coming from her, "Xiao Lin, did you hear it?"
"Ah? What did you hear?" Nanny Xiao Lin looked a little confused.
"Ah? Xiaolin, didn't you hear such a loud snoring?"
"Snoring? No!" Xiao Lin really didn't hear it, but she always knew that Li Qianqian had excellent hearing, so she immediately started looking around.
Soon she discovered that there was a man lying there on the beach not far away. He looked like he was fishing with a fishing rod, but he himself had fallen asleep with a book covering his head.
When I got closer, I found that the book covering the man's head was actually "A Dream of Red Mansions".
"Sissi, there is a man fishing there, but he fell asleep there."
"Ah? He's not worried about the fishing rod being picked up by a sea fish." Li Qianqian, who couldn't see her, was immediately surprised when she heard Xiao Lin's description.
"Yes!" Xiao Lin also felt incredible, "And what's even more weird is that he covered a copy of "Dream of Red Mansions" on his head."
"Haha, this guy is so funny." Li Qianqian couldn't help but laugh, "I think he is meeting Lin Daiyu in his dream."
"Bah!" Xiao Lin suddenly turned red, and then glanced at Li Qianqian with a blushing face, "Qianxi, you are so dirty!"
"Ha ha ha ha......"
Li Qianqian let out a clear laugh like a silver bell, and then said to Xiao Lin after a while, "Xiao Lin, take me out of here!
Don't disturb others' sleep."
"Oh! OK!"
While Xiao Lin helped Li Qianqian turn around and leave, he curiously checked the situation of the sleeping person. He found that he might have sensed that he was catching a fish, so he immediately stopped snoring, pulled away the "Dream of Red Mansions" covering his face, and waved his hand vigorously.
With the fishing rod inside, a big sea fish broke out of the water and was caught.
"Ah?" Xiao Lin, who witnessed the man's fishing process with his own eyes, opened his mouth slightly in surprise.
"Xiao Lin, what's wrong?"
"Sissi, as soon as that person felt that he had caught a fish, he immediately woke up and then caught a big fish."
"Ah? Is it so magical?"
"Huh? No! I seem to know that person." Xiao Lin looked at the person carefully and suddenly felt surprised.
"Oh? Who is it!" Li Qianqian also became curious.
Xiao Lin looked at the person in the distance carefully, and quickly covered his mouth in surprise, "Sissi, that person turned out to be that "black coal head"."
"What? You mean Jiang Changyi?"
"Yes! That's him!"
"Haha, today must be the weekend, their troops should have a holiday!"
"Yeah! Today is the weekend." Hearing Li Qianqian's guess, Xiao Lin replied seriously, "But don't they soldiers like to go to the city during their holidays? What a weirdo!"
"Haha, yes!" Li Qianqian also sighed with a smile, "What a weirdo!"
The reason why Li Qianqian was feeling emotional was because since her parents hosted a banquet for Suning, Suning had never visited her again. This surprised Li Qianqian and her family. After all, with Li Zhicheng's current status, many people are on the pole.
Flattery.
Occasionally, I heard from my parents about Suning's performance in the army. Either he won an award in another competition, or he participated in the army competition again. Anyway, I felt that Suning was always very busy.
"Honey, this kid from Changyi participated in this year's military competition. Not only did he take first place in skills and shooting, but he also fought like a humanoid tank and was a mess."
"Ah?" Li Zhicheng's wife was also surprised, "Isn't that more powerful than Jiang Defu back then?
I remember when I was in artillery school, you always complained that Jiang Defu liked to run rampant and knocked you away several times."
"Bang! Compared with his son, Jiang Defu is simply weak." Li Zhicheng showed disdain when he recalled that Jiang Defu was often abused on the basketball court.
It happened that they saw their daughter Li Qianxi coming back from outside, and then they stood up and said, "Sixi, why are you back so soon?
I thought you would play a little longer!"
"Haha, I originally planned to walk a little longer, but I met a guy sleeping on the beach halfway, so I came back early."
"Ah? Who would sleep on the beach?" Li Zhicheng and his wife couldn't help being surprised, "Are they fools?"
"Haha..." Li Qianqian burst out laughing when she heard her parents' surprise, "Aren't you just a fool?"
When Li Zhicheng and his wife saw their daughter laughing so hard, and then saw Xiao Lin also looking like she couldn't help laughing, they suddenly realized something.
"Sissi, do we know this fool sleeping on the beach?"
"Haha, yes!" Li Qianqian nodded while wearing sunglasses, "This fool is my father's eldest nephew Jiang Changyi."
"Ah? Why did he go there to sleep?"
"Haha, your army has so many rules. Today is the weekend off, so of course it's better to sleep comfortably at the beach." Li Qianqian shook her head helplessly, and then smiled and expressed her thoughts, "Besides, you can also catch fish easily.
.”
"Huh! Changyi just went to sleep." Li Zhicheng said angrily, "He can't catch a fish even if he sleeps all day."
"Haha, dad, don't underestimate me." Li Qianqian shook her head indifferently, "Xiao Lin saw with his own eyes that he would wake up immediately when he felt the fish was caught, and then he would pull the fishing rod hard and catch a big fish.
.”
"Huh! That's just bad luck." Li Zhicheng was still angry at Suning.
At this time, Suning, who was "unlucky", happened to return to his unit with today's harvest, and handed the fish to the cooking squad to use it to feed the entire guard company.
...
On the island, as soon as Jiang Defu came back from work, he wanted to ask Suning if he had any letters, but realized that Anjie would be disgusted with Suning, so he did not ask.
"Yaning, have you heard from your brother or the others?"
"No!"
"Hmph! Wei Guo and Wei Dong are so ignorant that they didn't even know how to write a letter to their families for such a long time."
"Hmph, I think some people don't necessarily want to read the letters from Wei Guo and Wei Dong!" An Jie on the side could not possibly understand Jiang Defu's psychology, so he deliberately spoke sarcastically.
"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Defu was struck by what he said, and he quickly retorted with a guilty conscience, "I don't care about Wei Guo and Wei Dong, who else can I care about."
"Hmph! Don't tell me that you don't want to know about Jiang Changyi."
"I...I don't care what he does!"
Hearing the conversation between his father and his mother, Jiang Yaning on the side quickly said to Jiang Defu, "Dad, Hou Chengnan writes letters to his mother every month, and he often mentions things about my eldest brother."
"Oh? This kid from Chengnan is quite filial."
"Haha, Hou Chengnan often asks Yafei to read letters for her, and Hou Chengnan's handwriting is extremely ugly." Thinking of Jiang Yafei's complaints, Jiang Yaning couldn't help laughing, "But I heard Yafei say that recently,
Hou Chengnan's handwriting is getting better and better."
"Oh? Why is this?" It was An Jie who was curious. After all, Hou Chengnan was once her student.
"Haha, my eldest brother asked Hou Chengnan to copy ancient poems in the army to practice writing, and then asked Hou Chengnan to mail the copied ancient poems to Hou Chengnan's mother. Slowly, Hou Chengnan's handwriting got better and better."
"Well! Your eldest brother is quite smart." Jiang Defu couldn't help but smile and nodded, but An Jie had a thoughtful expression and didn't say anything about Jiang Defu's evaluation.
Seeing that An Jie didn't say anything, Jiang Defu continued to look at Jiang Yaning, "Yaning, they should be divided into companies now. Are they two divided into the same company?"
"No! Although they are both in the 302nd Regiment, my brother is in the guard company, and Hou Chengnan is in the company."
"Oh! So that's it."
"Hou Chengnan also said that my eldest brother often participates in various competitions and wins big prizes every time. He even participated in the army competition some time ago."
"Oh?" Jiang Defu couldn't help laughing at this time, but when he looked at An Jie next to him, he immediately became serious again.
"Huh!" Looking at Jiang Defu who had a guilty conscience, An Jie felt really unhappy.
Now Jiang Yafei no longer hates Suning so much. After all, from Hou Chengnan’s letters home, it is not difficult to see that Hou Chengnan and others admire Suning. As Suning’s achievements become more and more dazzling, the arrogant Jiang Yafei also admires her from the bottom of his heart.
.
After all, Jiang Yafei is a child of a military family and is very clear about things in the military, so she also understands the significance of Suning's current good results.
Although Jiang Yafei still thought that Suning's appearance was a bit inexplicable, she gradually began to accept his existence in her heart and did not reject him at the beginning.
There are many soldiers on the island like Hou Chengnan in Ningbo, so many people know all kinds of information about Suning, and they are extremely envious of Jiang Defu.
Within a few days, Jiang Defu read the news from the military newspaper that Suning won the award in the army competition. Especially when he heard the reporter describe Suning as a "human tank", Jiang Defu couldn't help but feel proud.
