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

Chapter 99: That kid from Chen Lao’er’s family is promising!
"Xiufen, hurry up, people are here."

Chen Baishui walked quickly to the door.

No one has even stepped in, and the sound reaches the house first.

Conveniently, he moved the chair he was sitting on aside.

"Quick, quick, take out the watermelon, cut it and prepare it. It's not easy for the leaders to come here in this hot day."

"Yingying, help your mother, be careful not to touch the knife."

"Who is here? How many people are here?" Li Xiufen got up from the ground excitedly when she heard the voice.

She knew that the person who came today was to take her family to her child's school to attend the ceremony.

As a mother, she didn't care about the ceremony. She only knew that when these people came, their whole family could go with them.

"Oh, there are several cars. It's really busy. They should be people from the Armed Forces."

Just two brief explanations.

Chen Baishui adjusted the shirt he was wearing. After all, he had been an athlete when he was young and had seen big scenes.

I also know that the invitation to the military academy must be related to the Ministry of Armed Forces.

Therefore, he is not as panicked as his wife appears.

Feeling that my image was in order, I turned around and left home again, preparing to greet him.

At this time, the convoy led by Pu Guotao, political commissar of the County Armed Forces Department, had arrived at the entrance of the village.

Before departure.

They had discussed it and finally came to the conclusion that they should highly praise Comrade Chen Jun.

Chen Jun performed well in the military academy this time. Although he did not achieve much military success in the army, he was selected by the Army Academy as the best performer among freshmen this year and won the third-class personal merit during the new training period.

He was also an outstanding hero from an ordinary family, and it was his first time in Rong'an County.

Of course, Chen Jun is not the only one here who has been admitted to the military academy, but this is the only one who can be invited to watch the ceremony.

That brought glory to their entire county.

The size of the convoy to be greeted naturally cannot be too shabby.

Five army green jeeps were at the front of the queue, followed by two silver-white vans.

Printed on the side of the van: Rong'an Radio and Television Station.

The car door opened, and people in military uniforms from the first few cars got out of the car. Behind them were people carrying cameras and long recording sticks.

This posture suddenly appeared in a small village.

The villagers who were chatting around were all confused and confused as to what was going on.

Under the shade of the trees at the entrance of the village.

One of the middle-aged women, several dozen meters away, was eating melon seeds and saw the formation in the distance.

He spat out the melon seed skins in his mouth with a "Bah" sound, curled his lips and squinted his eyes, and said to a group of old men and women with great faith.

"I think it's probably someone's fault. They're here to arrest someone."

"No, what you said, old Xia's daughter-in-law, is wrong. The kind of car that arrests people has lights on it and flashes. I've seen it on TV. It's not this kind of car."

"Bah, bah, bah, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. This is the army's car. My son joined the army the year before last and I sent him to report to the Armed Forces Ministry. I have seen this car."

"It's not about arresting people. Look, there are people from the TV station behind us."

"Really? A TV station? Oh, then you have to stand forward. If I'm photographed, I can be on TV."

When Lao Xia's wife heard that they were not arresting someone, she immediately stuffed the melon seeds in her pocket and ran over to watch the fun.

"This old Xia daughter-in-law" the villagers shook their heads and followed suit to join in the fun.

at this time.

Pu Guotao, political commissar of the Ministry of Armed Forces, had already led people to the village and looked at the villagers who had gathered.

He has been engaged in recruitment work all year round, but he is very familiar with the process.

Dang even laughed and said: "Good morning, folks, we are staff of the County Armed Forces Department."

"I came to our Xiaozhou Village today to go to Comrade Chen Jun's home and invite Comrade Chen Jun's parents to fly to Xijing to attend the opening ceremony of the military academy."

"A great young man has emerged from your village. Comrade Chen Jun performed very well in the military academy. He was specially invited by the military academy. Our armed forces department and the TV station are going to Xijing with him."

"Participate in Comrade Chen Jun's opening ceremony."

"Comrade Chen Jun? Who in our village has such a long name?" Old Xia's wife asked in surprise.

"Oh, isn't that the eldest son of the second eldest son of the Chen family? Look at your ignorant look."

"Yes, he should be talking about the child of Chen Lao'er's family. Didn't that child say that he was admitted to the military academy this year? This is saying that his child has potential and that he performed well in Xijing."

"What did you all hear? They are saying that the eldest son of Mr. Chen's family performs well in school. The school wants to invite the Ministry of Armed Forces and the TV station to go with him."

Several people gathered at the entrance of the village, talking to each other. Mainly, they had never encountered such a thing before.

All quite strange.

Although the political commissar Pu Guotao understood the dialect, he felt helpless when listening.

It seems that this communication work still needs to be improved.

Just then.

Chen Baishui, who came out of his home, also walked to the entrance of the village.

Xiao Zhao, who was holding the gong behind him, saw him coming out and hurried to the political commissar and stood at attention.

"Report to the political commissar, that person is Chen Jun's father."

As he spoke, Xiao Zhao raised his finger, and Pu Guotao nodded, taking advantage of the situation and patted down his pointing hand.

Laughing, he walked towards Chen Baishui.

"Haha, Brother Chen, you have given birth to a good and promising son."

"Comrade Chen Jun performed very well at Xijing Army Frontier College. We came here specially to pick you up, brother. Let's go to Xijing together to attend the opening ceremony of our children."

Pu Guotao's voice was loud and deafening.

Chen Baishui felt a little embarrassed when he heard that. He hurriedly took out the cigarettes from his pocket and handed them to everyone who came over.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's take a walk. Please come home. It's such a hot day. I have to trouble you to go there in person."

Although Chen Baishui said it was troublesome, he was extremely happy at the moment.

How can a father be unhappy if his son has a promising future?
at this time.

The third eldest son of the Chen family, Chen Jun's third uncle, Chen Futong, also drove back from the city.

Chen Futong is a businessman. Relatively speaking, he is better at entertaining people than his second brother.

When he got out of the car, he opened a strip of soft Chinese seeds in the trunk and handed them to everyone he saw.

"Comrades, let's go and sit at home."

"Second brother, take your comrades to your home quickly, have some tea and rest for a while, you came all the way here."

"Okay, okay, you're welcome." Pu Guotao responded to the two brothers' enthusiasm with a smile.

In just a short while, his hands and ears were filled with cigarettes.

Chen Baishui led the way, followed by Pu Guotao.

The team set off again.

Xiao Zhao, who was following behind, was unambiguous.

Before setting off, the political commissar specifically told us that although we were not coming here to show off our merits, we wanted to be lively and lively.

As an assistant to the political commissar and in his own village, he must be working hard.

The team just moved.

He struck the gong in his hand.

"Boom!!"

There was a crisp sound, the sound was particularly loud in the silent countryside.

The entrance to the village where not many people originally gathered.

Hearing the sound of the gong, people from every house nearby came out curiously to check the situation.

The crowd grew larger and larger.

The villagers who had just come out saw such a long queue, filled with military uniforms and cameras.

Many villagers showed surprise on their faces.

"What is this for?"

"What a good day our village is having today. Why are so many soldiers here? And what are those people behind them holding? Is it something for filming? It seems to be called a video camera."

"Mom, what's filming? This is our county's TV station."

"Brother Zhao, is there any happy event in our village today? Are you beating such a big gong here?" A young man who had just come out of home saw Xiao Zhao in the team.

Ask immediately.

"This is to Chen Jun's home. Chen Jun is studying at Xijing Army Frontier College. He performed very well and made meritorious service in school."

"The military academy is going to hold an opening ceremony, so I specifically contacted our county's armed forces department and brought Chen Jun's parents to Xijing to attend the ceremony."

"Let me tell you, Chen Jun is an outstanding performer in school. He also won first place among thousands of people in competitions held by two military academies."

"I won't tell you anymore, I still have to beat the gong."

Xiao Zhao said and knocked again with a "bang" sound.

"Is this going to Chen Lao'er's house? I remembered it. Didn't we just say two months ago that Chen Lao'er's son was admitted to the military academy? Does this mean he has made meritorious service in the school?"

"Oh, Chen Laoer is really lucky. He has raised a good son."

"Isn't that right? The cubs raised by powerful people are powerful. Chen Laoer was also very powerful when he was young. How can he be like that child of mine? He has been in the army for two years and has not even popped out a fart. Look at it. Xiaojun, you haven’t been there for two months yet, right?”

"It's amazing. When will our family have a good boy like Chen Jun?"

More and more people gathered in the village. Some people stood on the roadside and stopped to watch and talk.

When it was heard that the child of Chen Laoer's family in the village had made meritorious service in the military academy, the academy specially invited Chen Laoer and his wife to attend the opening ceremony in Xijing.

There is also a TV station, the Ministry of Armed Forces will accompany you, and you can also fly.

There were expressions of envy and admiration on their faces.

Regardless of watching the excitement, everyone started to follow him to see if there was anything he could do to help.

There were only a few households in Xiaozhou Village, so the news spread all over the place.

They have long heard that someone in the village has been admitted to the military academy and can become an officer after graduation.

Now he is doing well in school and has made meritorious deeds.

This kind of honor, in a rural village with a strong local atmosphere, is more worthy of admiration than those rich people who have made a lot of money.

They remembered that Chen Jun had made such a big fuss less than two months after leaving home.

Some villagers had many more feelings in their hearts.

Although not everyone has lofty ideals and thinks it would be great to be a soldier.

But after all, everyone was born under the red flag, and basically all have the simplest patriotic feelings.

The originally quiet countryside became completely lively due to the arrival of the Armed Forces and the TV station.

The two brothers Chen Baishui and Chen Futong led the people home.

The villagers who got the news from their neighbors helped to get stools, tea and water cups from home.

He hurried over to help.

After all, there are a lot of people here, and no one usually prepares so many benches.

"Leaders, please come in quickly."

"There is cut watermelon on the table. Let's eat some to quench our thirst first." Li Xiufen looked at her husband and uncle leading so many people back.

She had never experienced such a scene and looked a little embarrassed.

Taking her daughter Yingying with her, she stood aside and invited the leader who came over to eat watermelon.

"Haha, you're too polite. Folks, you don't need to go to so much trouble." Pu Guotao led people into the house with a smile.

He was very casual, picked up a piece of watermelon and handed it to Chen Yingying, who was beside him.

Turning around, I saw that many villagers had gathered outside to watch the fun. There were even people who were constantly making tea, bringing melon seeds, and candies to entertain them.

Pu Guotao gave some instructions, and the people from the TV station were ready to film.

Then he clapped his hands and said loudly: "Fellows, don't be so enthusiastic."

"Today our Armed Forces Ministry and TV station are here, just for one thing."

"Comrade Chen Jun from our village has performed very well at the Xijing Army Border Defense Academy, and the academy has already sent out an invitation."

"Invite Comrade Chen Jun's parents to go to Xijing to watch the opening ceremony."

"Our armed forces department and TV station also benefited from Comrade Chen Jun's favor and were able to follow him."

"The National Day tomorrow is the opening ceremony, so we really can't delay too long today. We have to go to the airport quickly."

Pu Guotao's words were very clear, but he didn't wait for his next move after he finished speaking.

I was pulled into the house by the enthusiastic villagers to sit, drink tea and chat.

He couldn't hold back his enthusiasm.

The eldest son of the Chen family, Chen Jun's uncle Chen Kaijiang, has a bad character and a bad reputation in the village.

No one wants to join in the fun at his house.

But Chen Baishui and his wife were both honest and responsible people, and they were not popular in the village.

Today, more than twenty guests came to his house. They boiled water, served tea, gave them cigarettes, and gave them chairs.

His family didn't even need to do anything, the neighbors all took care of it.

Good guys, the staff from the Ministry of Armed Forces and the TV station couldn't stop talking from the moment they entered the yard.

Either smoke or drink tea, eat sugar or watermelon, whoever stops talking.

Then the villagers will assume that they were not well received.

Of course.

They entertained them so warmly, and some people thought that they were members of the Armed Forces after all, and treating them well would also make them feel more grateful.

Take more care of Xiaojun from now on.

They are all children from their own village. It is not easy to be outside. If they can take more care of them, they have to put in some effort. What can they be afraid of if they are not entertained?

Children can be well outside, which is better than anything else.

Although Chen Baishui and Li Xiufen also wanted to leave as soon as possible, they looked forward to seeing their son as soon as possible.

But they are all simple country people, and they can't drive people away.

As a result, more and more people gathered in front of Chen Jun's house, which was not a big village to begin with.

Everyone is almost on the move.

"Huh? Xiaojun's family has a big event today. Why aren't his uncle's family here?"

"It's just a good time that I didn't come. Mr. Chen and his family stayed in the city and didn't come back. When he came back, he looked down on others. Did you forget that the two families had a falling out before Xiaojun's entrance into the school? I guess you didn't even notify him."

"It's better not to notify him. Xiaojun has a lot of potential. He's so angry with that old man. He's obsessed with educating people. His nephew had a falling out at the entrance banquet. He's really not a thing."

The villagers talked about each other privately, but their enthusiasm for greetings always increased.

Originally, the Armed Forces Ministry's convoy arrived at nine o'clock.

After sitting in the yard and room for an hour, I was almost full of melon seeds.

Pu Guotao stood up again and clapped his hands.

There was some helplessness in his expression, and he smiled and said: "Folks, we really can't stay any longer. If we stay any longer, we won't be able to catch the plane."

"Receiving an invitation from the Xijing Military Academy is not only an honor for Comrade Chen Jun personally and for his family, but it is also the pride of our Rongan and the whole county."

"We are here not only to deliver this good news, but also to take Comrade Chen Jun's family to Xijing."

"The child is still waiting over there, we can't waste any time."

Pu Guotao said the same thing several times but it didn't work. This time it finally had some effect.

Many villagers took the initiative to leave Chen Jun's house with a smile, because they were going out.

See this situation.

Chen Baishui also breathed a sigh of relief. He was the head of the family and could not persuade the villagers. He quickly called his wife to pack things.

At the same time, he greeted the surrounding villagers loudly: "Thank you everyone for coming to help today."

"When we come back, we will set up a few tables to celebrate the children. Everyone should come, but we must agree first that we will not accept gifts."

"Haha, Lao Chen, hurry up and go. Xiaojun has a promising future, which is a major event for our village. Why are you so polite?"

"Go, Old Chen, go see the child. He must have suffered a lot outside. Bring more food and go see him."

The villagers gave a few brief instructions and left in a hurry.

As if they were afraid of wasting time, they already took care of those who needed to be entertained.

The villagers left Chen's house and stood collectively in the distance.

They watched with envy as Chen Baishui and his wife took their daughter and got into the armed forces car.

Left Xiaozhou Village.
