Chen Lu turned his head and looked at his serious and unsmiling grandfather in surprise.
Because the system task was to join the army, he was still worried about how to convince his family to let him join the army. Unexpectedly, his grandfather proposed it himself.
On the side, Yang Song looked at the confused Chen Lu, his baby face was startled, and he said seriously: "Chen Lu, we just saw your heroic performance in catching thieves on TV. Excellent talents must be handed over to the country." "Look at Xu Jiang, he is 24 years old and already a second-class non-commissioned officer. He has received third-class personal merit once and has a bright future in the army."
Finally, Yang Song looked at Xu Jiang and smiled and said, of course, his words were mainly meant for Jiang Xiuer who was standing beside him.
Xu Jiang straightened his back when he heard this.
At this moment, Chen Lu suddenly felt a pain on his feet, and he reflexively looked at his aunt on the side.
The aunt stared at him with watery eyes, her intention was very clear, telling him to refuse immediately.
Are you kidding me, Chen Lu can be a soldier?
Chen Lu is enthusiastic and cheerful, and he is good at communication, but as a soldier, the other party is not such a material at all.
Besides, Chen Lu is going to college. With his grades, it’s no problem getting into 985. This is much more promising than joining the army.
As the saying goes, if you join the army, you will regret it for two years; if you don’t join the army, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
These two years of regret refer to the hardships of being a soldier, and Jiang Xiuer, who grew up in a military family, knows the hardships of being a soldier better than anyone else.
Grandma, who was busy in the kitchen, heard grandpa's words and poked her head out to take a look. Without saying a word, she came out with the last plate of steamed taro meat.
She placed the white porcelain plate containing the hot taro meat on a round blue cushion, and then sat down on the side of her grandfather.
Grandma’s black hair is mixed with silver threads, her eyes are sharp, she doesn’t speak, and her body exudes majesty.
At this time, my grandfather, who had gray hair and a thin face, looked at Chen Lu and continued: "It's good to be a soldier. Your dad can do it, and your mom has no time to take care of you. The army is a place to train people."
"Moreover, you can keep your academic status as a soldier. When you retire, you can continue to study at Tsingta University or Peking University."
Obviously, grandpa has no doubts about his grandson's achievements.
"You might as well become a second-year soldier."
Grandma, who had been silent all this time, suddenly answered, "Don't follow Xiu'er around every day. The army is a place of discipline. I won't splash water on you when I wake you up from now on."
Chen Lu smiled bitterly.
It’s true that grandma is from the south, but she doesn’t have the euphemism of a southern woman.
At home, even her grandfather, who was once the head of the army, did not dare to contradict her easily.
By the way, when I was a child, who didn’t like to stay in bed, but Chen Lu’s hobby was extinguished by a basin of cold water from his grumpy grandmother.
Bang bang!
As soon as grandma finished speaking, the table suddenly shook.
"If you move again, you will be interrupted."
Grandma turned around and stared at my aunt.
My aunt curled her lips and lowered her head to pick up the rice.
Yang Song and Xu Jiang looked at each other, a little confused. Just now they thought there was an earthquake.
The next moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Lu. Chen Lu pondered for a moment and nodded: "I decided to become a soldier, but is there any reward?"
Brush!
The aunt stood up directly and said seriously: "You're not allowed to go, what's the benefit of being a soldier? You'll get tanned, exhausted, and you'll be single until you die."
On the side, Xu Jiang, who had raised his head and chest, and his waist was like a javelin, silently bent down, lowered his head to pick up the rice bowl in front of him, and silently picked up the rice just like Jiang Xiuer was just doing.
Seeing Xu Jiang taking his seat, Yang Song gritted his teeth and held back from laughing.
Grandma frowned, stood up, turned around and left her seat, and said seriously: "Come to the room with me."
"Not going."
The aunt said confidently, "Whatever you say, I don't agree with Chen Lu becoming a soldier, and my sister won't agree either. Could it be that you..."
At this point, the aunt glanced at Chen Lu and suddenly shut up.
Grandpa, who was sitting on the chair, looked calm, and suddenly said to grandma who was standing aside: "Give her next month's pocket money as well."
The aunt was stunned for a moment, and the next moment she shouted loudly: "Old lady, did you just say you wanted to get something? Come on, I know where it is."
I'm only worth a month's pocket money... Chen Lu looked at his aunt who was following behind her grandma.
After the meal, Yang Song left with Xu Jiang.
They were here to recruit soldiers this time, and they were at the end of the term. They were pressed for time, so a week later, before the college entrance examination results came out, Chen Lu had to report to the army.
June 15, evening.
Three or four dishes have been placed on the square dining table in the restaurant, including sweet and sour pork ribs and taro pork, which are Chen Lu's favorite dishes. At this moment, grandma is still busy in the kitchen, and hot oil is coming from time to time.
The sound of a sizzling collision with an iron pot.
It turns out that Chen Lu will report to the army tomorrow.
At the dining table, Grandpa, with a serious face and an unsmiling expression, was sitting upright.
Chen Lu sat next to him, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it into his mouth. The next moment, he opened his mouth and quickly fanned it with both hands.
It’s hot!
At this time, grandma came out with a plate of green vegetables, put the plate on the table, wiped her hands on her bib, and said with a smile: "Xiu'er hasn't come back yet, and no one is snatching it from you, why are you anxious."
After saying that, she glanced in the direction of the door and cursed: "This damn girl, you haven't come back at this hour. Don't you know that you are going to enlist in the army tomorrow?"
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
As soon as grandma finished speaking, footsteps sounded from the entrance.
"Old lady, why are you saying bad things about me again? I just wanted to buy a luggage bag for Xiao Lu. I came back late. Although my nephew has a foreign name, he is still dear!"
The aunt said with a bitch look on her face.
Apparently my aunt heard grandma’s loud voice at the door.
Chen Lu looked at the luggage bag in his aunt's hand and was stunned the next moment.
Red, still a cartoon luggage bag.
He clearly remembered that when he was in first grade, the first schoolbag his aunt gave him was a red cartoon schoolbag, and he was excited for a long time.
When I grow up, okay, I have been a craftsman for several years... Chen Lu muttered in his heart, speaking clearly and clearly: "Thank you, auntie."
After my aunt sat down next to Chen Lu, my grandfather said seriously: "Xiao Lu, joining the army is the tradition of our Chen family. Three generations of the Chen family have been soldiers."
"Don't you keep asking me the reason for your father's death? I will tell you when you become a qualified soldier."
Grandpa's tone was extremely solemn.
After many years, Chen Lu's impression of his father had become blurry. When his grandfather suddenly mentioned it, his eyes turned red for the first time.
The quirky aunt was also lowering her head to pick up the rice at this moment. She didn’t know what she was thinking of, but there was a faint twinkle of tears in the corners of her eyes.
A peaceful night.
At eight o'clock the next morning, Chen Lu couldn't find his aunt after getting up. He asked his grandmother, but she was cursing and didn't know. In the end, he had no choice but to carry the red cartoon luggage bag bought for him by his aunt and set off.
Sure enough, when Chen Lu showed up at the reception, he turned into the most handsome boy on the street.
Last night he protested again and again, saying he would rather die than give in and change his luggage bag.
As a result, the sound of him and his aunt struggling in the room alerted his grandmother. She made the final decision. Facing the extremely hot-tempered grandmother, Chen Lu decisively gave in.
The buzz around him didn't end until Chen Lu climbed onto the troop transport vehicle.
As a result, Chen Lu's buttocks had not yet warmed up, and there were loud noises outside, as if he was surprised that a beautiful woman had arrived.
Chen Lu was slightly startled. After realizing that the focus was not on him, he exhaled and breathed a long sigh of relief. The key was that he couldn't stand the way other people looked at animals.
He saw everyone in the car sticking their heads out, and was a little curious. He happened to be sitting at the back of the car, so he also poked his head out. The next moment, he was stunned.
A woman who is about 173cm tall, has long legs comparable to those of a supermodel, and a tight white T-shirt outlines her slender waist and bulging breasts.
The slightly curly long hair swayed with her steps, making her a little more lazy and charming.
If otakus had a standard for a goddess, she would probably be this type.
Auntie!
In Chen Lu's surprised eyes, Jiang Xiuer ran to the back of the car, put a stack of red banknotes directly in his hand, and warned: "Usually the money I deceive you is not spent, my aunt spends her own money.
”
A warm current flowed through Chen Lu's heart.
I couldn't find my aunt in the morning. It turned out that she had gone to get money for him.
For many years, Zhou Papi's label of being a little miser to my aunt can't help but waver.
The aunt then said: "I can still rely on my father. If you don't have a father, it's no different than if you don't have a mother. I'll save the money for you and use it to buy the things you need for the army."
What does it mean to be motherless... Chen Lu was quite moved at first, but then he was stuffed with shit.
Soon, the troop transport vehicle drove away under the watchful eyes of my aunt.
In the car, the next moment, everyone's attention was focused on Chen Lu.
"Brother, what's your name? Is she really your aunt?"
Chen Lu was speechless, does my aunt also have fake ones?
"Little brother, does your aunt have a boyfriend? What do you think of me?"
"Don't squeeze. Wait until I finish. Brother, it doesn't matter if your aunt has a boyfriend. Will she accept one more nephew?"
Chen Lu...
On the other side, Jiang Xiuer looked at the troop receiving vehicle going away, and stood there motionless until the troop receiving vehicle disappeared from sight.
For a long time, Jiang Xiuer sighed, feeling lost. She didn't know what she thought of. After hesitating for a moment, she turned and walked to a corner of the reception building, where a man in military uniform stood with an imposing manner.
It is Xujiang.
Xu Jiang looked at Jiang Xiu'er walking over with long legs and said, "Let's go."
Jiang Xiuer's eyes were red and she nodded: "If he can be a good soldier, he will be handed over to the country and you can help me take care of him."
"If he is not that good, and he comes back to be my wife, my family will miss him. He has been sleeping with me since he was six years old..."
Jiang Xiuer's voice was low, and as she spoke, she turned her head and glanced at the troop-receiving vehicle that disappeared into the distance.
Xu Jiang nodded, hesitated for a moment, looked at her expectantly, and said, "Um...are we boyfriend and girlfriend?"
