The military newspaper may be the most widely circulated newspaper in the army besides the People's Daily, so Lao Ding and Lao Wang also saw that Suning participated in the military competition. Especially when they saw the photo of Suning receiving the award, they felt like a younger version.
Jiang Defu, both of them were in a state of collapse at this time.
Seeing that each of his sons has become successful, Lao Wang can't help but think of his own son Wang Haiyang, who is older than Jiang Weiguo and about the same age as Jiang Changyi, but he is still a "homebody" at home.
Of course, Lao Wang doesn't know the word "otaku" now, otherwise he would feel that this word is too standard to describe Wang Haiyang. Lao Wang feels that Wang Haiyang is just a waste waiting to die after being fed, so let him be the second number on the island.
The characters feel very faceless.
You must know that he is usually the one who talks to others on the island, but now, although he still has the right to speak on the island, he is still passive because of Jiang Defu's son's success, and realizes that he must let his son make changes.
.
Lao Wang returned home angrily, and when he saw his son Wang Haiyang doing nothing, he immediately looked at his eyes and nose, "Wang Haiyang, I am informing you now that you must choose between going to the countryside and being a soldier.
Otherwise you are not my king’s son.”
"Old Wang, why are you so crazy?"
"Hmph! Look at Jiang Defu's son, he's already in the military!"
"Ah? Is Weiguo so powerful?"
"What Weiguo? It's Jiang Changyi!"
"Ah?" Wang Haiyang's mother quickly looked at the photo in the newspaper, "He is really this kid! Dehua must be very happy now!"
At this time, Wang Haiyang also saw the high-spirited photo of Suning in the military newspaper, but he showed a very disdainful expression, "Dad, I want to go to the countryside!"
"What?" Lao Wang and his wife both opened their eyes in shock. This was something Lao Wang never expected.
He thought that after being stimulated by Suning, Wang Haiyang would definitely decide to join the army and then compete with Suning. Unexpectedly, he would choose to go to the countryside.
There are many kinds of people in one place. Some people think that serving as a soldier will bring glory to one's ancestors. Of course, there are also people like Wang Haiyang who are dismissive of it. There is no question of who is right or wrong, it's just that everyone's choices are different.
Lao Wang and his wife also tried to persuade their son Wang Haiyang to change his mind, "Haiyang, do you know how hard it is to work in the countryside?"
"I don't care! I won't be a soldier anyway!"
Seeing that their son was so stubborn, Lao Wang and his wife had no idea, so they agreed to Wang Haiyang's choice and helped him contact him about going to work in the countryside.
Of course, Lao Ding also saw the contents of the military newspaper, and his heart was filled with envy and jealousy for Jiang Defu. He himself had four sons, but none of them really stood out.
Jiang Defu also has four sons. Although the youngest Jiang Weimin is recognized as a fool, he still cannot cover up the success of Jiang Defu's other three sons, especially the eldest son Suning who appeared out of nowhere.
"Hey!" Lao Ding suddenly put down the newspaper in his hand, and then looked at his wife Jiang Dehua, who had been working, "Dehua, come here, I want to tell you something."
"What's wrong?" Jiang Dehua quickly put down the rag in his hand and walked over with a puzzled look on his face.
"Dehua, look at this newspaper."
"Hey, I'm illiterate, and it's not like you don't know this." Jiang Dehua did not take the newspaper from Lao Ding's hand.
"What are you thinking about? I want you to see the photos in the newspaper!" Old Ding said very speechlessly.
"What's so good about the photos in the newspaper?" Jiang Dehua took the newspaper nonchalantly and started reading it.
"Oh! Oh my god!" Jiang Dehua soon became surprised, "Isn't this my eldest nephew Jiang Changyi?
What award has he won again?”
"Hmph! A competition between the entire army, and I ranked first in skills, shooting, and fighting!"
"Ah? This kid is so powerful!"
"Dehua! Jiang Changyi may be the most promising person in the Jiang family in the future. You should also get closer to this nephew."
"Hey! Wei Guo and Wei Dong are also very good in the army!
All three of them are capable, and as my aunt, I will treat them equally."
"Yo yo yo! You still say you treat everyone equally!" Old Ding looked at Jiang Dehua disdainfully, and then ruthlessly exposed Jiang Dehua's partiality, "Wei Guo and Wei Dong were both brought up by you. Jiang Changyi has never been with you.
Having lived around me, can you really treat everyone equally?"
"With millions of soldiers across the country, how much can Weiguo and Weidong achieve?
But Jiang Changyi is different, he participated in the army competition, and he was the first in three major events, and he was also on the national military newspaper, this is the direct way to heaven!"
"Eh? Is this kid Chang Yi so powerful?"
"Hmph! Of all the children from Jiang, Ding, and An's families, maybe only this one can come out."
"ah?"
Although Lao Ding does not have a high official position, he and An Jie are very accurate in judging people, or they prefer the material and spiritual enjoyment brought by this status, so Lao Ding and An Jie are both particularly sensitive. Sometimes
The two of them think in the same way, and they seem to have a better understanding. No wonder Wang Xiu'e, Lao Ding's first wife, was jealous.
...
Time soon came to the end of 1977. At this time, Suning had been a soldier for two years. Every night, the army organized soldiers to read newspapers and learn about national policies, but Suning saw the news he had been waiting for.
Suning collected the newspaper solemnly, and then found the security company instructor Lao Lin the next day, "Report!"
"Come in!"
"Report to the instructor, Private Jiang Changyi has something to apply for."
"Jiang Changyi?" When the instructor saw that the person coming was Suning, he immediately stood up with a smile, "What do you want to apply for?"
"Reporting to the instructor, I read the newspaper last night and heard that the country has resumed the college entrance examination, so I want to take the college entrance examination this year."
"What? You want to take the college entrance examination?" The instructor looked at Suning in surprise, and then told a lot about the regiment's arrangements, "If you really want to go to the military academy, the company will help you keep an eye on the recommended places, so there is no need to worry about it.
Moreover, our regiment has recently received a new type of guided missile destroyer, and the leader has decided to transfer key personnel from our guard company to the ship.
Wouldn’t it be a pity for you to leave the army and go to college at this time?”
"Thank you, instructor. I still want to get into the military academy with my own efforts, and getting on a ship requires solid cultural knowledge, which further strengthens my choice."
"Oh? It seems that you are determined to win." At this time, the instructor also realized Suning's determination, "I wonder which military academy you want to attend in Changyi?"
"Reporting to the instructor, I want to major in management at the National Defense University."
"Ah? National Defense University?" The instructor's eyes widened in surprise, "I understand, and I will report this situation to my superiors as soon as possible."
"Thank you, instructor."
Soldiers in the army now want to go to military academies just like those outside who go to university. They also need to rely on recommendation. They are collectively called workers, peasants and soldiers college students. However, Suning wants to take advantage of the resumption of the college entrance examination for the first time and take advantage of the times.
The ride.
Suning's application was quickly reported to Li Zhicheng, and then Lao Li approved Suning's application with a stroke of his pen and announced that other willing soldiers could sign up.
After receiving the instructor's reply, Suning was pleasantly surprised and immediately threw herself into reviewing. After all, there was less than a month left before the college entrance examination. No matter how well prepared she was, she still had to review as much as she should.
Although Lao Li agreed to Suning's application to take the college entrance examination, and also agreed that other soldiers could also apply, he did not take this matter to heart. After all, he was not optimistic about Suning's exam this time.
Li Zhicheng is not the only one who is not optimistic about Suning. There are also very few soldiers who choose to sign up for the college entrance examination because they are not eager to change anything through the college entrance examination. They have a completely different mentality from the educated youth everywhere.
For the educated youth, this college entrance examination is a turning point in their destiny, and most of the soldiers are very satisfied with their current status. The psychological differences caused by different statuses are also very obvious.
"Old Li, I heard that this kid from Changyi is going to take the college entrance examination?" Li Zhicheng's wife looked at Li Zhicheng and asked.
"Um!"
"It seems that this kid Chang Yi is quite wild at heart!"
"Yes! He has the same ambition as when he married his wife!" Li Zhicheng also said with emotion, "At the beginning, he looked down on the ordinary vulgar fans, but he liked An Jie who was born in a rich family."
"Look at his current working status?
I can only curl up on an island for the rest of my life, all because of the influence of his beautiful wife."
"Hey! Who says it's not the case!" Li Zhicheng's wife also agreed with Li Zhicheng's point of view, "However, since Jiang Defu married An Jie, his heart has stabilized."
"Yeah! That's true!"
"Old Li, do you think that if you offer Chang Yi a wife, will he be persuaded?"
"What? Who do you want to tell Chang Yi?" Li Zhicheng looked at his wife with wide eyes in surprise, and then he made a guess in his mind.
"Lao Li, what do you think of this kid Xiaolin?"
"Huh?" Li Zhicheng thought slowly for a while, then nodded and approved his wife's proposal, "Xiao Lin is a good kid. If she agrees to marry Chang Yi, it will definitely be a good fit."
"Haha, then why don't you call and talk to Jiang Defu."
"Huh? Let's ask Xiao Lin and Jiang Changyi what they think first?
What if these two kids have other ideas?"
"Yeah! That's right!" Li Zhicheng's wife nodded in agreement, "Then let's split up. You go ask Chang Yi, and I'll ask Xiao Lin."
"Okay! That's it!"
"But Lao Li, if Changyi doesn't get admitted to the military academy this time, what are you going to do?"
"Hey! I've thought about it a long time ago." Li Zhicheng looked at his attentive wife, shook his head and said his arrangement with a wry smile, "I have investigated Changyi's educational level. I only graduated from junior high school, even if I have studied some courses by myself in the past two years.
It is still difficult to compare with those who are truly knowledgeable.
I think it is obvious that he will fail this time, so I will let him get discouraged first, and then I will recommend him to the military academy."
"That's a good arrangement!" Li Zhicheng's wife nodded, "The child Changyi has been too smooth in the past two years, which is not necessarily a good thing. When he stumbles this time, he will naturally grow up."
...
Although he will take the college entrance examination in less than a month, Suning did not do anything special. He still trained according to the rules of the army and only used his spare time to review his homework.
During an ordinary weekend break, Suning was reading and reviewing in the reading room. Li Zhicheng’s driver came to pick her up and took her to Li Zhicheng’s home. Suning followed the driver into the car with a confused look on her face, and then walked into Li’s house still looking confused.
.
"Uncle, why did you ask me to come here this time?"
"What's wrong? Brat, can't I call you over for dinner if you have nothing to do?" Li Zhicheng looked at Suning and said with a smile, "Or maybe you dislike us for affecting your review of your homework?"
"Haha, no! Absolutely not!"
"Hmph! You are just like your father!
It has been such a long time that you didn’t know to come and see us." Looking at Suning and Li Zhicheng in front of him, he couldn't help but complain.
"Haha, it's not because the army is busy with training. I also have to participate in skill competitions everywhere, so I haven't found time to come here."
"Humph!" After hearing Suning's explanation, Li Zhicheng was actually not satisfied, but he did not reveal that Suning slept at the beach during his weekend break. "Changyi, come to the study with me. I have something to do.
Asking for your opinion."
"Yes! Uncle!"
Following Li Zhicheng to his study room, it was the first time for Suning to enter the private room of such a big leader, so he couldn't help but look at it secretly out of curiosity. He was really sleepy and looked more majestic than the study room of ordinary people. He realized that this might be a sign of his status.
brought about by the subconscious mind.
Li Zhicheng also noticed Suning's curiosity, and then looked at Suning with a smile, "What? You rarely entered your father's study before?"
"Eh? I've never been to my father's study!" Suning shook his head with a wry smile, "The last time I went to the island was because of my military service, and I only stayed for a month in total."
"Hey! There is no overnight feud between father and son. You should be more considerate of your father."
"Uncle, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I feel that my father's life is really perfect now." Looking at Li Zhicheng in front of him, Suning still chose to speak out what was in his heart, "My appearance is not the same for my father."
A good thing.
If I hadn't been so eager to change my destiny by becoming a soldier, I might never have disturbed their lives.
So, I really don’t have any hatred for him, I can only say that he shouldn’t appear in a living environment.”
"This..." Li Zhicheng was also stunned by Suning's words, "Chang Yi, you don't mean any hatred by saying this, but you mean the greatest hatred.
It means you have never accepted him in your heart."
"Haha, maybe!"
"Hey! Let's not talk about your family's messy affairs." At this time, Li Zhicheng also realized that it is difficult for upright officials to deal with household affairs, and then he got to the main topic of the day, "Chang Yi, I want to ask you to come here this time.
Ask about your lifelong events."
"A lifelong event?"
"Yes! Changyi, what do you think of this girl Xiaolin?"
"Ah? Xiao Lin? That's good!" Suning was also confused by Li Zhicheng's question for a moment, and could only try his best to issue "good guy cards".
"Haha, what if I offer her to be your wife?"
"ah?"
"Chang Yi, why are you staring so big?" Li Zhicheng looked at the shocked Suning and said jokingly, "Isn't it too much of a surprise?"
"Uncle, I would like to thank you for your kindness in advance." Suning, who had regained consciousness, thanked her quickly and then expressed her thoughts, "It's just that I am only thinking about my studies and career now, and I feel that I am not thinking about my partner at this time.
It’s early.”
"Changyi, you are already twenty-three this year, it's not too early to talk about marriage!"
"Uncle, I really don't want to think about my partner so early." Suning looked at Li Zhicheng with a wry smile again.
"Changyi, are you sure?"
"Uncle, I'm sure!" Suning nodded vigorously, "And I'm very confident about this college entrance examination. Even if I can't go to the military academy, I'm going to go to an ordinary university and take root in the national defense career after graduation."
"This..." Li Zhicheng said with a bitter smile on his face, "Changyi, hurry up and push your aunt in.
I hope he hasn’t mentioned this matter to Xiao Lin yet.”
"Yes! Uncle!" After hearing Li Zhicheng's instructions, Suning also realized that the situation was urgent and ran out immediately.
Li Zhicheng's wife was pushed into Li Zhicheng's study by Suning in confusion. When Li Zhicheng explained Suning's true thoughts, he shook his head with a wry smile.
"Fortunately, I haven't had time to deal with Xiaolin yet."
"Yeah! That's good!" Li Zhicheng breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, "Let's stop this matter and just pretend that there was no conversation today."
