I asked you to repeat your senior year of high school, but did you miss out on joining the military

Chapter 351 The grandest farewell, it doesn’t matter whether you come or not

The promotion ceremony is over, wait for all the leaders who came to preside over the ceremony to leave.

The soldiers in the entire battalion not only did not disband, but gathered even more closely than before.

But the gathering location was moved from the artillery field to the battalion headquarters.

That guy, the atmosphere in the camp is really lively.

Even Li Wujie, who had gone to the car company to learn how to drive, asked for leave and came back, holding a jar of wine, and sat in the back seat of the car in advance to see the battalion commander off.

Clerk Deng Jiawei was holding another jar of wine, and the two of them sat side by side in the back row.

Among the soldiers in the camp who gathered nearby to watch the fun, some of the wealthier ones ran to the Second Battalion Soldier Service Center on the spot, bought two cartons of milk and stuffed them into the car.

Some people also carried mineral water into the car.

But most people were watching with a smile. It was rare to encounter such a good thing in the unit, so who would care about other work?

The news that the battalion commander was going to his father-in-law's house had spread a long time ago, and everyone knew that he would go after being awarded the rank.

Anyway, for many soldiers, the idea that more courtesy is better, and quite a few people stuff things into the car.

When Chen Jun changed into casual clothes and came out of the building carrying a small backpack, he saw a dense crowd of people gathered in the compound of the battalion headquarters, and he felt a little amused.

"What are you doing?"

"I don't drive. I can just take a plane from Pengcheng to Kyoto."

Unfortunately, Chen Jun’s opinion is no longer important at this time.

The arrangements for others have been made clearly.

Instructor He Yingtao was assigning tasks to people while stroking his round belly.

"Well, whoever is driving the first car, please remember to check the vehicle's driving license, vehicle registration, soldier ID, and the brigade's dispatch form. Don't get stopped by the patrol on the way."

"Forget it, forget it. I'm worried about you guys, so I'll drive it."

"Hey, hey, hey, you Lao Li, who the hell let you sit in the driver's seat? How can you take my place? Get lost."

He Yingtao no longer cared about his identity as an instructor and happily competed with the cadres in the camp for the chance to drive.

Liang Kexiang, who was standing by, came over directly, raised his hand and hooked Chen Jun's shoulder, and said seriously: "Old Chen, remember what I said."

"You have to pick a good time to go to your father-in-law's house. You left too late today, so don't go to his house first after you arrive in Kyoto. Find a place to stay for the night."

"Just try to get to their house around 11 o'clock tomorrow. It's not advisable to go too early for this kind of thing. If you go too early, you'll be embarrassed, and if you go too late, it'll be impolite. 11 o'clock is just right."

"Bullshit, you're not right."

Listening to Lao Liang's nonsense, the deputy battalion commander Ma Hongjie couldn't stand it anymore.

He pulled Liang Kexiang aside, patted his chest and said, "Old Chen, listen to me. It's better to go in the afternoon."

"I've been there before, I have experience."

"You don't even need to eat in the afternoon. Just sit for a while and leave. It's not appropriate for us to stay for a long time since this is our first visit. Just say hello."

"You are right to listen to me."

Chen Jun listened to the two guys' completely different statements and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

On the other side, Li Haiyao, who had just changed into casual clothes in the dormitory building, was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

Especially when she heard a group of cadres in the camp treating their own family as a scourge and constantly offering advice to Chen Jun, she was a little dazed.

The soldiers next to them started to make way, some shouted "sister-in-law" loudly, and some shouted "the bride is here".

No matter what he shouted, the purpose was to remind the people who were stuck nearby to make way and let Li Haiyao come over.

She seldom communicated with the soldiers in the camp, and most people in the camp only knew that the battalion commander was dating a pretty captain.

This suddenly attracted the attention of so many people.

Li Haiyao also seemed a little embarrassed. She covered her small shoulder bag, walked through the crowd and ran to Chen Jun.

"Let's go."

Chen Jun asked with a gentle smile on his face.

"Um, okay."

Li Haiyao responded in a low voice.

She was indeed not used to being watched by so many people. It was actually not so bad because there were so many people, but some old soldiers were eager to see the world in chaos, so they whistled and shouted "The bride is coming".

Although I know these people are well-intentioned and are just fooling around,

But this kind of address is still too straightforward for Li Haiyao.

Chen Jun also noticed that Li Haiyao was a little embarrassed, so he clapped his hands and said loudly: "Alright, alright, stop blocking the road, let's go."

As he spoke, Chen Jun looked towards the five or six vehicles that had already started in the yard of the battalion headquarters.

This guy, when he went to Kyoto, this bunch of cadres were more active than him.

Chen Jun strode to the side of the vehicles and looked at the driver's seat of the lead vehicle. He Yingtao had already adjusted his sitting position. Clerk Deng Jiawei and orderly Li Wujie were also sitting in the back seat, each holding a jar of wine.

Find a good position with legitimate reasons early on.

Chen Jun glanced at the two people in the back seat and ignored them. He directly grabbed Lao He who was in the driver's seat and pulled him out.

"Don't make trouble. Just stay at home in the camp. I'll just need the two of them to take me to the airport."

Chen Jun pointed at the two people sitting in the back seat, and arranged for the clerk to drive. He took the jar of wine and sat in the back seat, with Li Haiyao sitting next to him.

"Okay, okay, let's all disperse."

"The car behind is not allowed to follow."

"Set off!!"

There were so many people gathered at the battalion headquarters that even though Chen Jun was the battalion commander, he couldn't force anyone to stop watching the fun.

Had to set off as soon as possible.

The instructor He Yingtao was dragged down, and he shouted at the back of the car that had already started, "Old Chen, no matter what the result is this time, call the camp in advance."

No one in the car responded, and the other soldiers were watching with a smile.

Seeing the vehicle going further and further away, Deputy Battalion Commander Ma Hongjie took out a piece of firecrackers from somewhere.

He hurriedly put it on the ground and lit it. Crackling sounds were heard, as if to encourage Chen Jun for this trip.

Watch the vehicle go further and further away.

He Yingtao clapped his hands while standing there and said with a smile: "Old Chen is really facing up to the challenge when he goes to Kyoto this time. I hope he can handle it."

"Anyway, this progress is much faster than when I got married."

"He usually keeps quiet, but now he's going to meet the girl's parents so suddenly."

Listening to Lao He's sigh, Ma Hongjie beside him took off his hat and smoothed his short hair, then put on his military cap again and said leisurely: "It is a difficult time, but it is also an opportunity."

"I can definitely handle it. Old Chen is not bad. Comrade Li is pretty and has a good personality. She is a perfect match for Old Chen."

After the two expressed their opinions, they turned around tacitly and began to disperse the soldiers who had gathered around them.

The battalion commander went to take care of his own private affairs.

The work in the camp cannot stop. The promotion has just been completed, and it is time to work hard.

Never let up.

Chen Jun bought a flight ticket for 1 p.m., so he was not in a hurry on the way to the airport.

The vehicle was driving steadily on the avenue. Clerk Deng Jiawei was driving very carefully, fearing that the shaking of the car body would cause the wine jar to be shaken away.

There was no need to rush. Chen Jun sat in the back seat, silently planning the itinerary.

Staff Officer Liang told him to go there in the morning.

This method is not very reliable. The flights are all at 1 p.m., and Pengcheng is not far from Kyoto. The flight only takes a little over two hours.

It would seem impolite to wait until tomorrow to visit after arriving in Kyoto.

Deputy Battalion Commander Lao Ma said that the idea was even more unreliable. Was it possible not to eat in the afternoon?
Chen Jun turned his head and glanced at Li Haiyao. She was probably going home, so she was a little nervous, her body tense, and her small hands clutching her shoulder bag.

Noticing Chen Jun's eyes looking at her, Li Haiyao turned her head and blinked.

"Are you nervous?"

After Chen Jun asked, he thought about it carefully and suggested: "How about calling your family first?" "Tell them about going back in advance."

"I called my brother yesterday and told him I would be back today."

Li Haiyao held the small bag between her fingers, and looked at Chen Jun with her bright eyes under her curved eyebrows.

"My brother also said that he would arrange a car to pick us up."

"Ah, that's it. That's good, very good."

Chen Jun responded with a wry smile. He really didn't know that Li Haiyao had already informed his family.

What's even less clear is that the first person he will meet today is most likely his future brother-in-law.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that among the people in Li Haiyao's family, the eldest brother-in-law is the easiest to deal with?
The other person is only about 30 years old at most, and facing him feels like stealing other people's cabbage.

He didn't ask if he was his biological brother, but he just thought of him as his uncle.

Along the way, Chen Jun's mind was almost going crazy with all kinds of thoughts.

The orderly next to him was holding a jar of wine, not daring to move at all. The co-pilot seat was piled with boxes of gifts.

These were the things that Chen Jun didn't intend to bring and were stuffed in.

The orderly didn't dare to move, and Chen Jun himself was even more confused.

When the vehicle is driving steadily.

He kept trying hard to search in his mind for the scene where the old soldier boasted about going to his father-in-law's house.

But when I think back, most of the time it was those guys bragging that they could drink more than their father-in-law, and that they would make their father-in-law fall down after drinking the first time.

This doesn't seem to be suitable for me.

He was a bachelor in his previous life and had almost never had a girlfriend, but now he suddenly made a progress and went to visit the girl's house.

All the experience that was useful in the past is useless this time.

There is not a single useful solution.

Li Haiyao also noticed that Chen Jun sat a little straight and guessed that it was because he was too nervous.

She moved slightly and got closer to Chen Jun, trying to ease his tension in this way.

After all, there were two other people in the car, and Li Haiyao was embarrassed to say some things.

Those who set out on this journey are feeling uneasy, not knowing what will happen today.

On the other side, preparations were also made early.

In a quiet courtyard in the Kyoto Garrison.

The overall greening environment in the courtyard is very well done. Even though it is winter, the courtyard is still full of greenery and evergreens can be seen everywhere.

Dense sycamore trees cover half of the yard. In Kyoto, where every inch of land is valuable, living here seems to cleanse the soul, making people feel extremely comfortable and peaceful.

From time to time, you can see soldiers in military uniforms and holding guns patrolling on the road.

At the innermost side of the compound is a three-story white building, which looks to be quite old.

The walls are a bit mottled, but it's obvious that the owner of this house is very hardworking. There are small vegetable plots and fenced flower beds around the building.

It is quiet yet full of life, it is indeed a pleasant place.

pity.

The silence was soon broken.

Outside the compound, a military jeep rumbled in and stopped in the open space next to the building.

A lieutenant colonel, about thirty years old, came down from the driver's seat and slammed the door shut.

The lieutenant colonel strode into the small building, humming a little tune. It was obvious that he was in a good mood.

This nice feeling only lasted until he reached the door of the room, when he lifted the door curtain and walked into the room and saw the old man sitting on the sofa in the main room.

The humming sound stopped abruptly.

The lieutenant colonel called out awkwardly: "Grandpa."

The old man sitting on the sofa looks to be around sixty years old. Although he looks a little old, his head full of white hair shows his majesty.

Wearing an ordinary winter coat, which obviously has no embellishment at all, it gives people a sense of dominance.

He is Li Haiyao’s grandfather Li Zhenhua, commander-in-chief of the Kyoto Army Command.

The lieutenant colonel who came back humming a little tune was the person Li Haiyao called yesterday.

His name is Li Haifeng, and he is the second son of Li Haiyao’s uncle.

The old man has four sons and no daughters. Li Haiyao is the youngest daughter of the fourth son and also the most precious granddaughter of the Li family.

Have no idea.

The old man's family has a good tradition. The boys of the younger generation have been strictly required to follow the military style since childhood. No frivolous behavior is allowed, whether at home or outside.

Just now, Li Haifeng went home humming a little tune. Under normal circumstances, he would have been scolded for this behavior. The main reason was that he didn't expect that the old man would be at home today.

That's why I was startled just now.

If he had known this in advance, he wouldn't have had the courage to do this.

Although he is strict with boys, this old man is extremely fond of his younger generation, girls. These are two completely different ways of education.

Especially the little granddaughter Li Haiyao, it is no exaggeration to say that she is doted on.

This also results in Li Haiyao, who is 27 years old this year and will be 28 next year, still looking a little silly outside.

Li Zhenhua knows his granddaughter's temperament and he never forces her. The reason can be summed up in one sentence.

No matter what happens to the Li family’s children in the future, we, the Li family, will take care of them.

Hearing Li Haifeng calling him, the old man sitting on the sofa, holding the newspaper in his hand, just said "hmm".

He didn't even raise his head.

Feeling that the old man didn't want to pay attention to him, Li Haifeng let out a light breath and slipped out through the back door as quietly as possible.

You can't afford to offend grandpa.

To be precise, except for the younger sister, when the old man comes back, he will be smiling and approachable. Even when the uncles come back, they have to sit or stand obediently.

No one dared to say anything more.

But although the old man can't be provoked, grandma Li Haifeng is not afraid of him.

He quietly slipped to the back door, and as soon as he came out he saw an old lady in her sixties with gray hair watering the plants in the flowerbed with a sprinkler.

"grandmother!!"

The sudden sound made Wang Lanfang, who was watering the plants, pause. She looked up and saw the person coming.

Wang Lanfang had a kind smile on her face: "Xiaofeng is back, your grandfather is in the front hall."

"Wait a minute, I'll finish watering this."

"Let me help you." Li Haifeng ran over with a smile and took the shower head from his grandmother.

"Grandma, you know, Yaoyao is bringing her boyfriend back today."

"I know, I know. Otherwise, why wouldn't your grandpa go out today?"

Although Wang Lanfang already knew that her granddaughter was coming back, she still smiled happily when she heard it again.

"Your grandfather has arranged for someone to pick you up at the airport."

"Calculating the time, it's almost time."

Did the old man also arrange someone to pick him up?

Li Haifeng was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Before he came back, he thought he was the only one who knew about this.

Otherwise he wouldn't have gone home humming a little tune. After all, it turns out that his information is not the most sensitive.

He also arranged for someone to pick him up at the airport, and had originally planned to go home first to report the news.

Now it seems.

It seems that it doesn't matter whether he comes or not.
