Have you been watching too many movies or reading too many novels?
If he can graduate smoothly from National University of Science and Technology, he will still have a military rank, at least starting as a center-back.
But now he's nothing. Why are the villagers saying he'll become a general and then that he'll go and attack the county town?
Who spread this rumor?
The village secretary stepped forward and shouted: "What nonsense are you asking? Don't you know how to keep things confidential? If you have nothing better to do, go home. Prepare your gift money; we're having a feast tomorrow."
After a while, the villagers left one after another, and the two-story building became a little quieter for the time being.
The village secretary and village elder, Lao Xiao, and Xiao Tian were not together; they were talking about the wedding arrangements for tomorrow.
After discussing official business, Xiao Tian asked the village secretary, the general, about the attack on the county town.
“You’ll have to tell us, old man. We don’t know either,” the village clerk replied.
Xiao Tian turned to his father and asked, "Dad, who did you hear this from?"
"I heard it from your leader, Mr. Li, who said you were leading this regiment to attack something. I didn't dare ask at the time, but later the comrades in the city said they wanted to build you a general's mansion, thinking you'd become a general!"
Xiao Tian said with a wry smile, "What are you talking about? Besides, this isn't a general's mansion; it's just an ordinary two-story building. It's not even a villa, let alone a general's mansion."

"No, DaMi is a high-tech company that produces computers, mobile phones, pagers, and the like," Xiao Tianna explained.
"Do you manufacture televisions? If you have any connections, could you get a few cheap ones for the village?" the village secretary asked.
Xiao Tian looked at the home appliances that had recently been delivered, especially the ultra-thin television, and said, "This is a television produced by our factory, as are the refrigerator and air conditioner over there. If anyone in the village wants you to compile some statistics, I'll have them delivered to the village."
"This is the first time I've ever seen such a thin TV. Is it expensive?"
"It's expensive," Xiao Tian nodded and said.
"Ordinary people can't afford to watch TV. Is there anyone who can get a free TV show for a few hundred yuan?"
The village secretary stared at Xiao Tian and asked.
"Yes, I'll ask Changhong later."
"Let's get this settled after you get married," the village secretary said.
