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

Chapter 356 Finalizing the itinerary, changes to the 179th Brigade
After Li Haifeng went out with the jar of wine, the old man looked up at Chen Jun again.

Then he looked at his granddaughter who was brought in from the kitchen.

This matter concerns two people, so it won't be enough for this kid to just talk. He needs to listen to his granddaughter's opinion.

It’s too early to say whether you agree to get married or not.

Noticing her grandfather's gaze, Li Haiyao did not shy away.

Children in the military don't engage in empty talk.

She turned her head and looked at Chen Jun, her eyes full of smiles as she said, "Grandpa, I am also willing to let Chen Jun take care of me. I am willing to marry."

"sit down."

Li Zhenhua nodded and pointed to the sofa next to him.

Now that things have come to this, he has nothing else to say.

Wang Lanfang turned around and went back to the kitchen with a smile. Both children had the same idea, and she, as a grandmother, was also happy.

"Chen Jun."

"arrive!!"

His butt had just touched the sofa when he heard the leader calling him, and he immediately stood up and straightened his back.

Li Haiyao also stood up and stood quietly beside Chen Jun.

This time, the old man did not politely ask them to sit down, but said with a serious face: "Yaoyao is willing to marry you, I have no objection, this is a matter for you young people."

"But it's not enough for me to just nod my head. Yaoyao's parents both work in Yangcheng. Take some time to go over and visit them."

"As for the other arrangements, you two can discuss them on your own. You don't need to report to an old man like me."

"Just remember to let Yaoyao come back to see us when you have time during the holidays."

The old man spoke very seriously in the first few words, but finally he remembered that his child was going to get married.

The tone softened a little.

Outside, no matter what position you hold.

After all, he is still an old man in the family. When his granddaughter gets married, all the children of Yaoyao's generation in the Li family will have their own families.

No matter how small the child is, the old man can’t take care of it.

Li Haiyao saw that her grandfather was in a state of anxiety, so she quickly ran over to him, hugged his arm, and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, even if I get married in the future, I will still be your granddaughter."

"As long as I'm fine, I'll come back to see you."

Looking at his laughing granddaughter, the old man also slowly smiled and said earnestly: "Yaoyao, remember, when you get married and go to Xiao Chen's house, you can't be so willful anymore."

"Since it's a rare trip back home this time, you should stay at home for a while longer."

"Stay with your grandma."

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."

Li Haiyao responded with a smile.

Seeing this scene, Li Haifeng, who came back with a jar of wine, was extremely envious.

He has never received such treatment since he was a child.

However, he had nothing to be uncomfortable about. He was thirty years old and knew his position. Although he didn't have any great abilities, it was good for him to live with his grandparents.

After putting the jar of wine on the dining table, Li Haifeng ran to the wine cabinet to take out the glasses, counted them out one by one, and then ran to the side to wash the glasses.

After comforting his granddaughter for a while, the old man stood up and glanced at Chen Jun who was still standing there. His expression returned to his usual seriousness.

"come here."

"Yes!!"

Seeing the old man leave the living room and walk towards the room at the side, Li Haiyao clenched her hands to cheer herself up, and Chen Jun smiled and nodded.

Follow straight behind.

He knew that the old man had something to tell him.

Maybe it’s something we should have talked about this afternoon, but I didn’t say it because I was talking too much about irrelevant things.

The room across from the living room should be the old man’s study.

Chen Jun took a rough look around and found that the study was very tidy. The various furnishings and items were arranged just like in a military camp. The books and documents on the table were all neatly arranged.

The old man sat down swiftly on the chair next to the desk and casually pointed at the chairs in the room.

"sit down."

"Yes."

Looking at Chen Jun, who was still very serious and restrained in his behavior, Li Zhenhua smiled.

He couldn't say that he admired this young man too much, but he definitely didn't dislike him either. He might be a little cunning, but he was honest.

"You two should discuss your affairs with Yaoyao. I have no objection. I will transfer her to your 179th Brigade soon."

"It's been quite a while since this child graduated. He hasn't been at home much in recent years. I asked Yaoyao to stay at home for a few more days."

"As for you, you can make your own choice."

After hearing the old man's straightforward statement, Chen Jun looked up with some confusion. In fact, he was really uncomfortable staying here, and it was far less comfortable than in the military camp.

But hearing the old man say this, it seemed like he was trying to chase people away, which made Chen Jun a little confused.

Could it be that he agreed just now, but now he doesn't agree? Chen Jun couldn't help but wonder.

Don't blame him for overthinking.

The main reason is that this statement is too straightforward.

I just expressed my feelings, and then the old man said that Li Haiyao would stay at home for a while.

Then you can talk about your own side and make your own decision.

This feeling is very similar to the euphemisms used by a couple when they return to the girl's home together and her family disagrees.

Seeing that Chen Jun didn't say anything and sat there with a gloomy expression, the old man knew that this kid was imagining things again.

"Okay, I'll let you decide for yourself. That's because your 179th Brigade is going to be completely reorganized soon."

"Regarding the latest decision of the military council, the 179th Brigade will reorganize all its units except for your first battalion in the next few days."

"The current personnel will be transferred and awaiting instructions for the pilot. When the time comes, your brigade will be stationed at the headquarters, and people from the military headquarters and the theater will go there to assist in the pilot."

"At this critical moment, you have to take charge of the work in the camp, so it's not appropriate for you to stay here. As for Yaoyao, she will report there in a few days."

The 179th Brigade was reorganized and a headquarters was established.
As Chen Jun listened to the old man's introduction, he suddenly realized that these matched his memories of his previous life.

In his previous life, he remembered that there seemed to be a headquarters in the pilot project of reforming the combined brigade.

After all, brigade-level reorganization is much more difficult than battalion-level reorganization. Setting up a separate headquarters to assist can be considered a turning point in accelerating military reform.

As far as I can remember, there was more than one pilot brigade in the first batch.

After these pilot projects at the brigade level showed results, major moves followed, such as changing divisions into brigades and changing eighteen group armies into thirteen group armies.

"Yes, Commander, I understand."

Chen Jun took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll set off soon."

The entire brigade was reorganized, although it did not involve a single battalion.

But at this time, the brigade's 2nd and 3rd motorized infantry battalions, tank battalion, and artillery battalion all had to be transferred.

Among these units, there are many good soldiers that he has been eyeing for a long time.

Chen Jun was a little worried about relying on Lao He and others to coordinate the overall situation. He was afraid that they would return too late and have their people divided up by other brigades, leaving him with nothing to show for it.

That would be such a loss.

During this year-end demobilization season, many veterans retired from the battalion, although when the battalion was first formed, the military district tried its best to ensure that soldiers who would not retire this year were assigned.

But this kind of thing can only be implemented in principle. There was indeed no impact on the first batch of people who retired in September, but there were a lot of people who retired in the second batch.

After all, the base number of the entire battalion is there, and most of them are old non-commissioned officers who are about to retire. These people cannot achieve perfection.

It is impossible that the higher-ups won’t give it to retired military personnel.

Then there really won't be a single retiree, and this guarantee is only to keep the situation under control so that there won't be a large number of retirees.

The establishment was directly reduced by one-fifth, resulting in the new camp being unable to operate normally.

Chen Jun was thinking about it.

There was a sudden knock on the door. The old man looked up at the door and waved his hand, "You are not as anxious as I am."

"The reorganization order will be sent to the brigade tomorrow. If you want to rush back, you will have time to return tomorrow morning."

"Let's go, your second uncle is here."

My second uncle? ! !
Chen Jun was stunned when he heard this. It seemed that the old man had accepted him.

When the door opened, it was indeed my second uncle, the old man's second son.

The other person should have just returned from work, and he was also wearing a military uniform. Unlike the serious old man, the second uncle looked very kind. The other person looked at Chen Jun who opened the door with a smile, and Chen Jun was also looking at him.

He was over 1.7 meters tall, a little overweight, and looked to be in his fifties. The two bars and four stars on his shoulders sparkled under the light.

"Hello, Chief!!"

Chen Jun just took a quick look and quickly stood at attention and saluted.

The political commissar of the 1st Guard Division has the same rank as Tao's, both are colonels, and both are deputy division-level cadres, but they are in different units and their influence is completely different.

The garrison is a full-army-level unit, and the honor guard is under the jurisdiction of the 1st Division. Defending Beijing and Tianjin is no joke.

"Hello, the little guy looks good and strong."

"Haha."

Second uncle really deserves to be the political commissar. After returning the gift, he patted Chen Jun on the shoulder and seemed easy to talk to.

"Uncle, it's time to eat."

Li Haifeng saw that Chen Jun had come out of the study. He stretched his head and called out. At this time, Li Haiyao also came out of the kitchen carrying a plate.

Maybe it was because it was too hot, when she put the dishes on the table, she reached out and pulled her earlobe, and ran over and introduced with a smile: "Second uncle, this is my friend, his name is Chen Jun."

"Chen Jun, this is our second uncle."

"Grandpa, it's time to eat. Uncle, let's go, it's time to eat. You all need to go wash your hands."

Being messed up by Li Haiyao.

Chen Jun didn't have the chance to stand here and chat anymore, so he hurried to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

But needless to say, he was kicked out again.

At this time, the second aunt also came and was helping Wang Lanfang.

Chen Jun couldn't help, so he went to wash his hands. At the very least, he pretended to be very busy and walked around the house.

Anyway, you can't act like a big shot and just sit there waiting to eat before anyone else comes to the table.

Li Haifeng is a really observant guy. He had already moved the wine out and even removed the mud seal.

This guy is looking for the same clay pot, but it's much smaller than the wine jar.

I plan to reseal the leftover wine into small jars to prevent the smell from escaping.

"It seems like I'm in for a treat today."

"Xiao Feng, go slowly, don't spill it. The aroma of this wine makes me feel comfortable all over. It's a good wine."

Second uncle came over and saw the good wine being divided into jars, and couldn't help but praise it.

"of course."

Li Haifeng grinned: "Second Uncle, Chen Jun went through a lot of trouble to get this wine, you should drink more later."

"Okay, then I'll take advantage of Xiao Chen's help today."

Second uncle smiled and nodded.

As they chatted and laughed, the dishes were served one after another.

Li Haiyao asked everyone to take their seats. The old man naturally sat in the first seat, and Chen Jun chose the seat next to Li Haifeng.

The whole family was having dinner together, and there was a new person named Chen Jun.

Naturally, the topic was related to him.

Anyway, any questions that the old man didn't ask during the day were answered by my second aunt alone at night.

For example, where is your family from, what do your parents do, how many brothers and sisters you have, how many brothers your father has, and what jobs do they all do.

That guy asked very detailed questions, just like he was checking my household registration.

In fact, the old man knows Chen Jun’s family situation better than anyone else.

At that time, Li Haiyao stayed in the first battalion and had not returned, but Chen Jun's detailed information had already been placed on his desk.

It can be said that the information is detailed in every aspect, even to the point that Chen Jun himself is not clear about it.

Of course, during the entire dinner, people didn't just ask questions without eating. Grandma Wang Lanfang was smiling the whole time and even used the serving chopsticks to pick up food for Chen Jun from time to time.

Every time she saw her grandma being partial, Li Haiyao would pout and show displeasure, and hold out her bowl to ask for some too.

Chen Jun just sat there like a quail and answered whatever people asked him.

Besides asking about his family situation, I would also praise the wine for being delicious.

Taolv's private collection of wine really tastes good.

The taste is mellow and long-lasting. It is not quite right to say that the fragrance lingers on the lips and teeth after one sip, but it can definitely be said that the aftertaste is long and the fragrance is overflowing.

Even someone like Chen Jun, who drinks like a cow chewing a peony and doesn't understand wine at all.

He could taste it, this thing was indeed good stuff.

No wonder before the departure, every time the brigade commander saw him staring at the wine jar, Tao felt a pang of pain in his heart.

After the wine was taken away, he would call and ask if the jars were broken or anything.

As for the origin of the wine, the leader did not ask, and Chen Jun could not introduce it himself.

Anyway, Li Haiyao has been at home these days, so she knows where the wine came from and will naturally tell her in private.

Actually, the gift I brought this time,

Even if Chen Jun didn't say a word, the old man knew what was going on, and everyone in the brigade knew it too.

After all, at Chen Jun’s age, if he didn’t rely on his family, he really wouldn’t be able to get these gifts.

Giving gifts is just a personal gesture.

The meal ended in a pleasant atmosphere.

Chen Jun's trip was worthwhile as he understood what Li Haiyao's family meant.

Basically, people here did not reject their relationship and also tacitly allowed him to take care of Li Haiyao.

But don't worry about the rest.

At least I have to take some time to go to Yangcheng to visit Li Haiyao's parents. Even if the old man nods, everything else will not be difficult.

But when it comes to marriage, you can’t avoid the hurdle of parents.

Only relatively speaking.

The two of them can already officially date, so even if they go to Guangzhou, it would just be a formality.

After dinner, my second uncle and his family left, and Li Haifeng also left early.

The old man drank some wine and went upstairs to rest.

Chen Jun followed Li Haiyao and Wang Lanfang to clean the table. If they were not allowed to wash the dishes, they would just wipe the table.

If you are not allowed to wipe the table, just mop the floor.

Just don't be idle, otherwise the old lady will be busy and he won't be able to rest.

I was busy until about eight o'clock in the evening.

Chen Jun and Li Haiyao had just finished packing and walked to the small path in the yard, planning to take a walk and chat in private.

"Well, I plan to go back tomorrow."

Chen Jun simply organized his words and continued, "The commander said that your job will be transferred to the 179th Brigade soon. I am in a hurry to go back, not because I don't want to stay here."

"The brigade is about to be reorganized. According to the commander, the military headquarters will send the order to the brigade tomorrow. I will go to other battalions to recruit some backbones to fill the establishment."

“To prepare for future pilot brigades.”

"Ok, I know."

Li Haiyao listened to Chen Jun quietly. She reached out and hugged Chen Jun's arm naturally. This was the most intimate action she took towards her family.

"Just go ahead and do your work. I'm very happy about what happened today, and thank you for saying those words."

"You're welcome, that's right."

Chen Jun agreed shamelessly. He knew that Li Haiyao was talking about the words he had said in front of the old man about marrying her.

Although someone reminded him of this, Chen Jun would definitely not admit it at this time.

I can only silently thank that kind and honest cousin in my heart.

The two walked slowly, enjoying the quiet time while quietly talking about their future plans.

The night sky tonight is dotted with stars, not bright, but very warm.

Because my family agreed.

The relationship between the two can finally be put on the table.

No need to worry anymore.
