"Brother...Brother...you have been chosen...you and Brother Ji Feng."
Shen Yu ran back excitedly and said loudly when he saw his brother chopping wood.
"Bang..." The sound of the hatchet falling to the ground was heard. Chen Lei took a big step in front of his brother with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Really?" I am still confused.
"Really? The village chief said that. Don't you believe it?"
Shen Yu slapped his brother's hand away from his clothes and rolled his eyes. How could he make a mistake? This matter was too important.
"I was chosen? I was chosen..."
Shen Lei, who was so excited that he kept running around in the yard, was completely crazy. He had been worried, anxious, and uneasy for the past few days. Now, there was a result, and the dust had settled.
"Yes, you were chosen. But don't be too happy too soon." Seeing her brother's happy expression, Shen Yu couldn't help but feel jealous and poured a bucket of cold water on him.
"Yeah! I was just chosen, but I still have to get past my parents."
Chen Lei blinked his eyes and looked at Niuniu pitifully. He had planned to let his sister come forward. However, he didn't know if his sister could convince his parents.
"Niuniu...Niuniu...How about I ask you a favor?"
"Not really. I can plead for you, but I'm not sure I can convince my parents."
Chen Yun told her brother not to expect too much, because she could help plead for mercy, but that didn't mean she could convince her parents. Her brother wanted to join the army, but the first challenge was to convince his parents. Otherwise, nothing good could happen.
“As long as you beg for mercy.” Shen Lei has great confidence in his sister.
"Mom and Dad will be back soon. I think you should tell them quickly."
Chen Yun reminded his brother that he should think about what kind of reason he could use to convince his parents. Being a soldier is an honorable thing, but it also has risks and dangers.
Chen Lei approached his brother, mumbling to himself for a long time, but still felt completely lost. He glanced at his sister, who was rummaging through herbs nearby, and his eyes lit up. His sister was the smartest. If she could give him some advice, point him in the right direction, perhaps he could finally achieve his goal.
"Niuniu...Niuniu..." Chen Lei pleaded with Chen Yun and said flatteringly, "How does brother treat you?"
"Okay..." Without even looking up, Shen Yun knew exactly what his brother was thinking.
"Then... my brother is in trouble now, shouldn't you help? They say that when it's time to help, you should help. I beg you, brother."
"Haven't I already agreed to all your requests? Don't worry! I will do what I promised." Shen Yun patted his brother's head with a comforting look on his face.
"No, I want you to give me some advice and point me in the right direction. Mom and Dad are coming home soon, and I'm so anxious I'm running around in circles. Niuniu, just pity me. I don't know what to do right now."
Chen Lei raised his hands above his head and looked at his sister in surrender, hoping that she could give him some advice. With his sister's advice, at least he wouldn't be so anxious when his parents came back.
Chen Yun really couldn't stand his brother's statement, and spread his hands helplessly. "Okay, just tell your parents directly. They already know about your little behavior. Do you really think you can hide your behavior from your parents?" Rolling his eyes, Chen Yun continued:
"I think my parents have already agreed. If you just try a little harder, I think there will be no problem."
"real?"
Chen Lei looked at his sister in surprise, unable to believe that happiness came so quickly.
"It's true, don't worry! I think mom and dad have softened their hearts. As long as you don't be so stubborn, there won't be too many problems."
"That's great, brother, you can go to the army." Shen Yu on the side looked at his brother with envy.
"Actually, Third Brother, it doesn't matter if you can't join the army. Now that the policies from above have come, life is getting better day by day. Maybe the college entrance examination will be restored in the future. Opportunities always come to those who are prepared. Read more books. There are more options for you in the future."
Chen Yun told her third brother what she had been thinking about recently. Combining her experience in her previous life, she knew clearly that she only needed to wait patiently for a year. The college entrance examination was about to be resumed, and her brother would definitely be able to take a place if nothing unexpected happened.
"Really?" Shen Yu looked at her sister, suppressing the trembling in her heart.
"Of course it's not fake."
"Well, your sister is right. The policies from above are getting better and better. The turmoil is almost over."
Shen Chenfeng looked at his two sons, feeling very disappointed. If his sons had the same broad perspective as his daughters, and could see through the turbulence of the current situation, he wouldn't have to worry.
"dad……"
"dad……"
"Let's go inside and talk." Shen Chenfeng looked at his two sons, then at his daughter next to him, feeling very sad.
"I've recently taken a look, and the situation is developing in a positive direction. I don't want to restrict you from doing anything you want to do. As for A Lei, I agree with your wish to join the army. You have to walk the path ahead on your own, and there's nothing I can do to help you."
The path of the army is to walk on your own, to prove yourself through your strength. Crooked ways are useless. He doesn't want his son to be like that. He wants his son to get what he wants through his own ability, strength, and talent.
"Dad...I know, don't worry!" Shen Lei puffed out his chest and assured that he was not the kind of person who wanted to rely on others to climb up the mountain.
"Third child, you've been smart since you were young, and you're always the best at studying. Your sister is right, there's more than one way to go. All roads lead to Rome, and as long as you keep going, I believe you won't be disappointed. Rumors have spread in the capital that the higher-ups will resume the college entrance exam, but the timing is uncertain. During this time, you should stay home and study."
"Dad? Really?" After a dark period, there was a ray of hope. Unexpectedly, it was just as the opera said: A blessing in disguise.
"Well, there's already fifty percent hope."
The other 50% depends on what happens next, as this year marks the end of a decade of turmoil. There's a lot of mess to deal with, and the country is in turmoil, so someone urgently needs to step up and resolve these issues.
"Then...I'll go back and read."
Shen Yu looked at his father, then at his sister, and felt that he still needed to work hard. His sister could surpass him without even studying, and if he didn't work hard, the gap between them would only widen.
"Well, go ahead! I found a lot of teaching materials for you, including a set of math, physics, and chemistry books."
"Thank you, Dad..." ecstatic.
