Chapter 224
Chen Qingsong decided to join the army, so he threw the melon seeds into the basket of the angry Old Lady Zhao, glared at Old Lady Chen fiercely, put on his shoes and walked away.
This is really touching.
"Grandma, don't go! Grandma..." Chen Qingyi was numb. Why was he acting like a child?
You point out my shortcomings and I point out your sore spots. You say something and I say it back, and neither of us gives in.
Don't expect anyone to have an easy time.
"Don't yell, she went home to make noodles for me. Your grandma is going to treat me to white noodles at noon."
Old Mrs. Chen was very happy. She was extremely satisfied that her old in-laws had been driven away in anger.
Chen Qingyi: “……!?”
Zhao Xiangmei was a little at a loss for words. It was really hard to describe her third brother. Even someone like Chen Changhai was a complete winner.
Typical case of good bamboo producing bad shoots.
Before, I saw Baba running to borrow my military coat, but when I refused, he got angry and said a lot of nonsense.
What do you mean she has to rely on her parents' family and him after the divorce? Bah, she said she has a daughter and she will have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
She was so angry that she was about to scratch him, and Zhao Chuande was so scared that he ran away immediately.
Cowardly and pretentious.
The thought of his family coming over during the Chinese New Year made her feel nauseous and she didn't even want to see them during the New Year.
When it comes to the matter of money, Old Mrs. Chen looked at her precious granddaughter with suspicion. She had had doubts for a long time.
So powerful, it can't be...
"Xiaoyi..."
"That breast." Chen Qingyi slapped her head, as if she had just remembered, "My dad and Yang Shuting had sex.
I didn't go home to sleep at night, so I guess I didn't do anything."
Chen Qingyi acted as a microphone again, relaying Chen Changbo's words, tone of voice, and what she overheard.
He even learned all the tea talk and sayings, for fear that Old Lady Chen would ask for money again.
The old lady has become more thoughtful.
"My dad said there would be a conscription in February after the Lunar New Year and asked my older brothers if they wanted to go."
There was a sudden silence, and everyone in the room suddenly looked up at Chen Qingyi.
Chen Qingyi nodded and peeled an orange for herself. "My dad told me to call him when I've made up my mind."
Chen Changbo never thought about these things before.
The book is filled with Yang Shuting's children, and she is wholeheartedly paving the way for them.
The four siblings of the Chen family lived a pretty good life in the book, despite being ignored.
After the reform and opening up, Chen Qingbai dared to work hard and the Chen family gradually prospered.
He is considered okay in the city, one of the best, but having money without power is like a castle in the sky or duckweed on the water.
"Did your father really say that?"
Old man Chen took out his pipe from his waist, stuffed some tobacco leaves into the pipe and lit it.
He took two deep puffs, puffing out clouds of smoke, making it hard to tell his expression. "Your dad finally understands."
"Qingsong, Qingbai, you two are not young anymore.
After the New Year, it will be the 19th year. You can make your own decisions about your own affairs."
Having said that, Old Man Chen continued:
"Joining the army is the best way out for us peasants who work on the land to make a living."
"If your father hadn't joined the army, our family wouldn't be able to live the life we have now. Look at how other families in the brigade are living.
We were so poor that we couldn’t even afford to eat enough steamed buns, and we only had meat twice a year.
Look at you guys again, new house, bicycle, big apple..."
Chen Qingfeng silently put down the apple he had just picked up and picked up the frozen persimmon next to him.
"......!!" Old man Chen took a deep breath, clenched his pipe, and turned to look at his two silent grandsons.
He took two more puffs of his pipe.
"Staying home to scrape food and rely on fate for support is not going to help you achieve anything."
"It's always better to eat public food."
"The country is in need of talent right now, and you two have both graduated from high school. If you work hard, you will have a bright future. You will definitely be better than your father."
"I know your father has let you down, but some things cannot be changed.
If you want to go, go. There's no need to miss such a good opportunity just to get angry with him."
"Getting what you want is the most practical thing. Some ambitions don't matter. Learn more from your sisters."
"What's the point of having face? You just need to be thick-skinned and be able to lose face."
He was afraid that his grandchildren would be unable to get over the problem and get stuck in a dead end.
Old man Chen looked at his granddaughter who had grown up and was becoming more and more beautiful, and sighed with admiration.
He personally sent the two educated youth to the farm, which was considered to be a mercy to his own father.
"Xiaoyi, has your dad's money almost been taken away?"
Chen Qingyi scratched her brow. Why did her grandfather seem to know everything? This was different from his personality that only knew how to eat and drink.
"Just empty it out."
Old Mrs. Chen patted the kang and glared, “Grandma’s precious granddaughter did a good job, as long as she could make things difficult for Yang Shuting.
I am happy and support you! "
After saying that, he glanced at Chen Qingsong and Chen Qingbai.
"Just give me a word, are you going or not? If I tell you to, then go. You're a bastard if you don't take advantage of an opportunity."
"We can't let Yang Shuting have an easy time."
Her two grandsons went there, and that little bitch was so angry that she immediately went to heaven.
“……!!”
Old Mrs. Chen has a very unique perspective.
Zhao Xiangmei wanted to say something but stopped herself, her eyes reddened, and she turned her head to wipe the corners of her eyes.
She wanted her child to have a bright future, but she was also reluctant to let him go because being a soldier was hard, and there was a possibility of getting injured and not being able to return home for several years.
There was a sudden silence in the room.
Old man Chen knocked the ashes from his pipe with the sole of his shoe and knocked the pipe on the kang again and again.
“In the past, when we fought wars, the troops marched from south to north and from east to west.
It was common for soldiers to not return for several years, but it is different now.
The army is getting better and better, the trains are getting faster and faster, and you miss your children.
If they can't come back, you can go and see.
With Changbo around, he can't be assigned to a place too far away, as he has been in the army for so many years.
Can't you do such a small thing?
Xiangmei, the children are grown up now and can’t be kept by your side all the time. It would be a shame if Qingsong and Qingbai don’t join the army because of their physiques.
Many people want to go but can’t. Our commune only has a few spots available each year.
Believe it or not, if you spread the word, the Changjiang family will be able to break down your doorstep without anyone else's help."
Qinggui is just the right age, and there are Qingshu, Qingwei, Qingqi and other boys in the future.
Even Qingliu wanted to be a female soldier.
There are so many things to do, and if I don’t do it for someone, I will offend them.
Just don't start that way in the first place.
"This matter must be kept secret. No one is allowed to tell anyone until it is finalized."
Old man Chen stared straight at Old lady Chen.
The old lady almost had a heart attack. This time she was really angry. Why did these two people not trust her?
Just get up and go eat some white noodles, but she still didn't listen.
Zhao Xiangmei controlled her emotions, wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, and her voice was a little hoarse.
"Dad, I know, I just can't bear to leave."
"Qingsong, Qingbai, you two don't have to worry about me. If you want to go, go. I have Xiaofeng and Xiaoyi at home with me.
You guys should behave well in the army, and when you can join the army, Mom can come and live with you for a while."
She felt heavy-hearted when she thought that Chen Qingfeng also wanted to join the army.
At this time, Chen Qingbai raised his head and said, "Grandpa, Mom, I won't go. I don't like being a soldier.
I like...well, I've always wanted to go into politics.
I don’t believe that our country will never resume the college entrance examination as long as the country still needs people and needs to develop and build.
There will definitely be a day when the college entrance examination will be resumed, and I want to go to university."
Chen Qingyi suddenly raised her head, "Second brother, do you really think so?"
"Yes, I have never given up studying." Chen Qingbai nodded. He had read all his high school books to pieces.
Chen Qingyi was really impressed now. The tension of the college entrance examination in her previous life hit her again. This was too exciting.
Is her second brother being betrayed? He's really smart.
Many of the people who were sent down to the countryside and the educated youth gave up.
Her second brother actually believed it. Oh my god, she suddenly felt that her second brother would be the big boss in the future and she could just give up.
In that case, should she give her second brother a push now?
Chen Qingyi thought of the seeds piled up in the space, and an idea came to her mind: this matter needs to be planned carefully.
"Just figure it out for yourself."
Old man Chen looked at his grandson deeply, wanting to see into Chen Qingbai's heart and see if what he said was true.
"What about you, Qingsong?"
"I want to join the army." Chen Qingsong said without hesitation, with a look of determination on his face.
Excitedly, he clenched his right fist and repeatedly hit the palm of his left hand.
Qingfeng came back and told me a lot about the army, which made him yearn for it and his blood boil. He liked being a soldier.
I like tanks and cannons.
In the past, I was worried about my family and didn’t have the opportunity.
Now he has to hold on to it tightly. When they are successful in the future, no one will dare to bully his mother and Xiaoyi anymore.
"Mom, I want to go."
"Okay, let's go." Zhao Xiangmei has always felt sorry for this honest and sensible eldest son.
Chen Qingyi said in a funny way, "Don't worry, Mom. I'll take you with me when I get married."
She had planned it all out long ago.
When the college entrance examination is resumed, she will buy a super large courtyard house in Beijing, and Zhao Xiangmei will enjoy the life with her.
When several people heard her say this, they all laughed.
Old man Chen nodded with satisfaction. The children of the second son's family were all good.
The second one... Hey, the blisters on his feet were caused by himself. He will regret it one day.
"Then go call your dad.
Get it done sooner, feel at ease sooner, and I'll go with you to fight, right now."
Old man Chen was afraid that Yang Shuting would find out and do something bad. He was also a man, and he understood the power of pillow talk better than anyone else.
The second child's brain is often broken, so he has to go with him and give him more instructions.
Just looking at Zhao Jiarou, you can tell that Yang Shuting is definitely not an easy person to deal with.
