Chapter 244 Children of a Wealthy Family
I want to join the army and go to the battlefield like my grandfather...
A few simple words can express a lot of meaning.
It's still meant for those who come from the military to lead troops...
Anyone who has served in the military knows how important comrades and seniors are in their hearts.
The words Xiao Tiantian had Wang Changsheng write—"like his grandfather going to the battlefield"—were meant to tell those people that someone in his family had fought for China, and was even their predecessor…
People of Wang Changsheng's grandfather's generation are like monuments in the hearts of active-duty soldiers.
Once those people see him, they'll definitely notice Wang Changsheng...
With this, Wang Changsheng's enlistment in the army was practically a done deal.
The more Yao Shula looked at Xiao Tiantian, the more she realized he was no ordinary person.
Coming from a wealthy family, his mindset and vision are truly beyond what children from ordinary families can compare to.
Although Yao Shuli is smart, when Yao Shuli was the same age as Xiao Tiantian, he was just a little kid who didn't even know how to deal with his own snot...
Yao Shula felt like she had struck gold!
Seeing Yao Shula looking at him, Xiao Tiantian felt a little uneasy.
"Big sister, am I wrong? Is this method bad?" Xiao Tiantian asked cautiously.
Yao Shula smiled and shook her head.
“Tian Tian’s idea is not bad! Tian Tian, why do you do it this way?” Yao Shula asked.
Xiao Tiantian then raised her head high.
"There are many things that must be said and told to others; this is what my eldest sister told me."
My older sister once said, "Why do good deeds without leaving your name? If you don't leave your name, how will others know that I did the good deed, and how will they learn from me?"
The same applies to other things.
Why don't you let others know that you want to join the army and defend your country? Do you want others to know, or do you want everyone to know?
And those who should know should know.
Chang Sheng wants to join the army, so let the people in the army know! That way they'll understand the significance of joining.
"My older sister once said... this is called 'a smile shouldn't be shown to a blind person'!" Little Tiantian said proudly.
Yao Shula nodded, then looked at Wang Changsheng.
"Chang Sheng, do you understand something?" Yao Shula asked.
Wang Changsheng seemed to understand what Xiaotiantian and Yao Shuli meant, and he quickly nodded.
“I understand. It means we have to strive for everything. We can’t just sit around doing nothing and wait for good things to come to us like before,” Wang Changsheng said.
Yao Shula breathed a sigh of relief. Not bad, she's someone who listens to advice.
Now that you know, go back and prepare properly, and think about what to do!
"Just like when you first started selling popsicles in July, the first step was hard to take, but once you took that first step, the rest of the journey was much easier," Yao Shula said with a smile.
Wang Changsheng nodded, then pulled Wang Biying to his feet. He then bowed respectfully to Yao Shula, Yao Shuli, and Xiao Tiantian.
Thank you!
Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian quickly jumped to the side.
"What are you saying! We're friends!" Yao Shuli said, somewhat displeased.
“That’s right, you two are our disciples, isn’t it only right for a master to help his disciples?” Xiao Tiantian also had a stern face.
Wang Changsheng and Wang Biying bowed to them again.
Yao Shula had Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian see the two brothers out.
When Wang Changsheng left, Xiao Tiantian didn't forget to give him a few words of advice.
"When you finish making your brand, you'd better let me take a look. I have experience in brand making, and I'll make sure it's suitable for me."
"Really, I taught Shuli how to make all the brands he used to make..."
...
When the two of them came back skipping and hopping, Yao Shula had already peeled an apple for each of them.
Yao Shuli ate an apple while talking to Xiao Tiantian.
"I thought your idea for Wang Changsheng was to have your dad's secretary make a phone call!"
Yao Shula also looked at Xiao Tiantian.
For Xiaotian, this method is the most worry-free and effortless.
In fact, Secretary Lei doesn't even need to make the call himself; his secretary can simply make a phone call to remind others, and they'll know what to do.
Xiao Tiantian first brought the peeled apple to Yao Shula's mouth, and Yao Shula smiled and shook her head before taking a big bite.
"My older sister once told us that no matter what happens, we shouldn't always think about asking others for help. The best way is to figure it out ourselves first."
That's what I thought at the beginning too.
It's just joining the army, right? When I go back to my dad's place on Saturday night, I'll just tell him, and his secretary will make a phone call.
But Wang Changsheng is going to join the army. We've helped him this time, but what about next?
He has to stand on his own two feet and learn to solve problems on his own.
"We helped him come up with a solution this time, and he got involved. After he goes back and thinks about it, maybe he'll be able to come up with a good solution if he encounters a problem again in the future!" Xiao Tiantian said earnestly.
Yao Shula hugged Xiao Tiantian. This child is not only thoughtful but also has a long-term vision!
"So clever! But how did you come up with the idea of having Wang Changsheng write those words on that sign?" Yao Shula pinched Xiaotian's cheek again.
Xiao Tiantian giggled twice before explaining to Yao Shula.
“When I was in Shanghai, I followed my grandfather every day, and I remember one thing.”
Once, one of my uncle's colleagues came to visit my uncle and also stopped by to see my grandfather. My grandfather chatted with him for a few minutes.
After hearing that the grandfather had served in the Fourth Field Army, the man casually remarked that one of his soldiers also had a family member in the Fourth Field Army.
Grandpa remembered it immediately and had someone inquire about the soldier's situation.
I later learned that the soldier's grandfather had been the company commander of a company under my grandfather's regiment, and he had died on the way to the front.
Grandpa still remembers the company commander's name. Not two months after Grandpa asked about the soldier's situation, that soldier became a platoon leader.
"Big sister, Grandpa said that the bond between comrades of their generation was like that of family," Xiao Tiantian said earnestly.
Yao Shula nodded in agreement.
Yes, the camaraderie among the older generation of soldiers often transcended life and death!
"Okay, you're all right."
By the way, Tiantian, you should be going back to your dad's place this week, right?
"You have your exam in a week, and then you'll be on winter break!" Yao Shula patted Xiao Tiantian's head.
"Okay, I'll go back home for a bit. After the exams, I'll wait at home for my older brother to pick me up!" Xiao Tiantian said with a smile.
...
However, Xiao Tian returned home less than two hours after going back on Saturday night.
"Big sister, something terrible has happened!" Little Tiantian's eyes were full of excitement.
