The guard felt that Sun Zhengguo looked down on him because of his nonchalant attitude.
I was originally planning to go easy on him out of respect for the leader, but now it seems unnecessary. I must teach this kid a lesson.
Without further ado, the guard threw a powerful punch straight at Sun Zhengguo's face.
When Sun Zhengguo saw his opponent make a move, he neither dodged nor flinched, as if he were frozen in fear.
Just as the other man's fist was about to strike him, he calmly grabbed the fist with his hand, stopping the guard in place and preventing him from moving any further.
When the guard saw that his fist had been grabbed, he struggled a few times but still couldn't break free from Sun Zhengguo's grasp. He was very shocked, and his first impression was that this man was very strong.
However, time did not allow him to think too much. Sun Zhengguo gave a gentle push, and a tremendous force struck, causing the guard to stagger back six or seven steps before he could barely stop.
"Commander, this...?"
"I can't believe it," the guard said in a panic.
Just now the commander was boasting that he should go easy on him, but now he's been defeated in one move. Isn't this a slap in the face for the commander?
"What? You can't accept this? Fighting requires brains, what's the use of just brute force?"
The leader's words, whether intentional or not, served as a reminder to the guard.
The guard instantly understood his commander's intention: to engage in hit-and-run tactics, as the opponent was strong and could not be confronted head-on.
However, it was all for naught. When the guard switched to elbow strikes and attacked again, Sun Zhengguo had already lost patience. He easily dodged the elbow strike, grabbed the guard by the back of the collar, and easily threw him seven or eight meters away.
The scene was completely silent.
The guard rolled a few times on the ground and quickly stood up.
It wasn't that Sun Zhengguo lacked offensive power, but rather that he held back. It wasn't some deep-seated grudge, so there was no need to go to such lengths.
"Commander, I...I, I have done my best, but...?"
The guard's voice was tearful; he didn't know how to explain it to his superior.
Uncle Zhang's face was gloomy on the surface, but he was secretly delighted. "This kid is a talent. We must find a way to get him back to the army."
Then he spoke to another guard beside him.
"Both of you go at him together. If you defeat this kid, you'll get a commendation when you get back to the unit."
Seeing that their leader was serious, the two men didn't hold back and attacked Sun Zhengguo from two directions.
This time it was even worse. Sun Zhengguo punched and kicked them, sending them flying far away again. This time they struggled for a long time but couldn't get up.
"Good, good, good! Well done! Sun Zhengguo, you really gave me a huge surprise. As soon as you graduate, come and report to our unit. How about it? Uncle Zhang promises you won't be treated badly. Let's start as officers."
Seeing that their leader was pleased rather than angry, and even started to recruit Sun Zhengguo, the two guards sitting on the ground breathed a sigh of relief.
Ning Dazhuang quickly stepped forward and helped them up.
Sun Zhengguo remained calm and composed, unmoved by the offer, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Anyway, by the time he graduated, he had already started working at the Ministry of Metallurgy.
If you can find me at school then, then I'll admit defeat.
Sun Zhengguo had already made his own plans; he had no desire to go to the army, even if he became an officer as soon as he joined.
After verifying Sun Zhengguo's abilities, the commander returned to his unit with great satisfaction.
Sun Zhengguo returned to the courtyard and began eating and drinking.
"Zhengguo, what did that leader want with you just now?"
Lin Wencui asked with some concern.
In fact, she already had some suspicions in her mind that the commander might have taken a liking to her son and wanted him to join the army.
If it were someone else's family, they might think of joining the army as a way out, but this family really doesn't need that way out. Their son works in a ministry and can come home every day, isn't that better?
"Mom and Dad, that Uncle Zhang wants me to join the army and even offered me a cadre position, but I didn't agree. You won't have any objections, will you?"
"No, no, you can decide these things yourself, you don't need to report to us."
Seeing that her son had resisted the temptation of becoming a cadre, Lin Wencui was relieved and pretended to be magnanimous.
The wedding banquet lasted another half hour before the young soldiers said goodbye and returned to their unit.
Next, Director Xu and Director Hua also said their goodbyes and left. The rest of the family members then helped clean up the dishes.
Before long, He Daqing and his daughter finished packing up, picked up a few lunch boxes, and prepared to say goodbye and go home.
The father and daughter had a good day too. They had left a lot of food for them, but they only ate a few steamed buns. They packed up the rest of the food to share with Sha Zhu when they got back.
Seeing that the chef was about to leave, Ning Dazhuang quickly gave him a red envelope, handed two packs of cigarettes to He Daqing, and gave He Yushui a handful of candy. Everyone was happy.
Around 3 p.m., the last two groups of people left, leaving only Sun Zhengguo and his wife behind, who planned to have dinner before going home.
"Zhengguo, I want to thank you today. The banquet was a great success. Tell me, how much did it cost in total? I'll go get it for you right away."
"It's okay! We're all family. Just don't mess with me in the future. I don't like being a soldier."
Sun Zhengguo's words made Ning Dazhuang feel somewhat embarrassed.
If it weren't for his strong recommendation, Uncle Zhang wouldn't have approached Sun Zhengguo.
"I understand, I will never mention this again. You still haven't told me how much it cost in total?"
To cover up his embarrassment, Ning Dazhuang asked about money again.
"Oh! It's not much money, how about 50 yuan in total?"
"What?"
Sun Zhengguo's words surprised not only Ning Dazhuang, but also the others around him.
It should be noted that not only all the dishes, but even the flour, cigarettes and alcohol needed for the banquet were provided by Sun Zhengguo.
With so many supplies, even with a ticket, you might not be able to buy them for 50 yuan.
“Zhengguo, you can’t put your own money in here! No way! 50 yuan is too little, I don’t believe it. Dazhuang, give Zhengguo 100 yuan.”
Wang Guiying said from the side.
This son-in-law is good in every way, except he's too honest. Even a fool could see that 50 yuan is definitely not enough.
Sun Zhengguo actually didn't know much about current prices, not because he was out of touch with reality.
But there are some things you can't buy. So what do you do if you can't buy them?
In that case, the only option is the black market.
Can you imagine that a pound of pork can cost several yuan on the black market? And even then, it's all about luck; it's not always available every day.
Finally, with no other option, Sun Zhengguo had to accept the 100 yuan handed to him by his brother-in-law.
However, he didn't even look at it and handed it to Ning Xiaowei.
When the mother-in-law saw this, she was even happier. Such a good son-in-law is really hard to find.
In the evening, after the family finished dinner, Sun Zhengguo, not wanting to cause trouble in the bridal chamber, took his leave early and rode off into the night towards his cozy little courtyard.
