Li Chu is less than a year older than Wang Jun, and now that his child is almost a year old, Wang Jun still doesn't have a girlfriend, which makes Aunt Wang extremely anxious.
Aunt Wang was finally relieved when her son came home from vacation with his girlfriend.
After dinner, the men sat under the grape trellis in the yard, while the women chatted in the living room.
"Xiao Jun, you're something else, you've already made it to the rank of captain." Li Chu waved his hand, refusing the cigarette Wang Jun offered him.

“A captain is nothing in our military. When did you quit smoking?” Wang Jun remembered that when the two of them were broke, they used to share a cigarette.
"You've quit smoking for two or three years now, so you should smoke less in the future."
"Xiaojun, it sounds like you're still a bit dissatisfied with the captain?" Uncle Wang, who was talking to Ding's father, asked after hearing his son's words.
"No, Dad, you misheard. I'm very satisfied, extremely satisfied."
Uncle Wang glanced at his son but ignored him, and started chatting with Ding's father again.
When Uncle Wang's three sons saw him, they were like mice seeing a cat. The three brothers often complained that Li Chu was the real son, and that the three of them were like children they had been adopted.
Of course, they only dared to say such things in private. If Uncle Wang found out, he would whip them with a belt.
Li Chu looked at Wang Ziwen and asked, "Brother-in-law, have you discussed it with my sister? What do you think about sending Jiadong to the unit that Uncle Wang mentioned? Have you made a decision?"
Wang Ziwen turned her head and saw that Uncle Wang wasn't paying attention to them, then whispered, "Xiao Chu, did Uncle Wang tell you which unit it was? Why are we going to the Northwest?"
"What's going on? Brother Ziwen, are you also planning to send Jiadong to join the army?" Wang Jun interjected.
“Yeah, that kid doesn’t study hard, so he has no chance of getting into university. We might as well let him join the army. Uncle Wang found him a unit, but it seems he’ll be going to the Northwest at the end of the year. Your sister Qin is a little reluctant to let him go so far away.”
Wang Jun didn't say anything after hearing this. His father had always been the one in charge in his family. For example, none of the three brothers who joined the army were stationed near Beijing. He was considered to be relatively close, but he was still in the Northeast.
"Brother-in-law, Uncle Wang didn't say which unit it was. But I just feel that Uncle Wang has led troops in battle for half his life, how could he make a mistake in his arrangements? Do we understand the troops better than Uncle Wang?"
Li Chu's words made Wang Ziwen fall into deep thought. Yes, although he had also served in the military, he had long since transferred to civilian life, and now he really didn't know much about these military units.
Although I could arrange for someone to be assigned to a unit near Beijing if I found someone myself, would that be any better than what Uncle Wang arranged?
Moreover, with Uncle Wang making arrangements, there's no need to worry about future promotions or anything like that.
After thinking it through, Wang Ziwen didn't hesitate any longer. He planned to talk to his wife when he got home that night and persuade her to listen to Uncle Wang.
"I understand, Xiao Chu. I'll have a good talk with your sister tonight."
Now that his brother-in-law has figured it out, Li Chu can save himself the trouble; he can talk to his wife himself.
"Xiaojun, is your girlfriend also in your unit?"
"Yes, she works in logistics."
When are you planning to get married?
Wang Jun was a little embarrassed when he talked about it, and said with a slightly red face, "We're going to her house together the day after tomorrow. I'm thinking of getting married during the National Day holiday."
Li Chu nodded: "Uncle Wang definitely won't allow us to hold the banquet at a restaurant. I'll find you a chef and take care of the ingredients too."
Wang Jun chuckled: "Alright then, I won't stand on ceremony with you, we're brothers."
Uncle Wang heard this too, and he turned around to look at Li Chu with a half-smile: "Little Chu, why don't you take care of the second and third sons as well?"
"No problem, Uncle, don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Li Chu patted his chest.
"You've got some money to burn, haven't you? Aren't you afraid your wife will give you a hard time?"
“Brother Wang, you’re wrong. Xiao Chu is spending money to pay for his younger brother’s wedding banquet. It’s not like he’s wasting money. Nan Nan definitely won’t say anything.”
When they first met, Ding's father always addressed Wang as "Uncle," and it took several corrections before he finally started calling him "Brother."
Uncle Wang was just joking with Li Chu. He didn't really care about it at all. He smiled and said, "Alright, the banquet is in your hands."
"Uncle, you have to let me know in advance. Don't tell me today that you're getting married tomorrow, or I won't be able to make it to the banquet."
"What kind of banquet is this?" Ding Qiunan happened to come out with a water jug to refill their water.
"We're talking about Xiaojun's wedding here," Li Chu explained to his wife.
"I heard from Qiaoyun that you two are planning to get married on National Day?" Ding Qiunan asked Wang Jun. Qiaoyun was Wang Jun's girlfriend, and her surname was also Li.
"Sister-in-law, this is our current plan, but we still need to discuss it with their family."
Although Wang Jun was younger than Li Chu, he had never called her "brother" before, but when he first met Ding Qiunan, he called her "sister-in-law" quite naturally.
Ding's father left early in the afternoon; he had to go to work tomorrow. Ding's mother stayed to help take care of the children for a few days, so that Aunt Wang could also get some rest.
Now that her son has started working, Ding's mother is completely free; she no longer has to worry about cooking for him every day. As for Ding's father, he can manage the kitchen at the factory all by himself.
After lunch, everyone left. There were many people at home today, and the two children, who love excitement, were overjoyed. They had only slept for two hours during the day, and now that everyone was gone and the house was quiet, they immediately became so sleepy that they could barely keep their eyes open. They fell asleep before even finishing their milk powder.
Tonight, the two children will stay in the east wing with Ding's mother. Ding's mother wants the young couple to have a good rest for two days.
That's true. Ever since we had a child, neither of us has had a single night of full-sleep sleep.
As a result, the two of them couldn't fall asleep even when they were in bed, and they weren't used to not having their child around.
Ding Qiunan sat up in the dark: "Li Chu, I can't sleep, what should I do?"
"Shall I go over and bring the child to you?"
"My mom is definitely asleep, so don't bother her."
"I have another way to make you fall asleep, do you want to try it?"
"What method?"
In the darkness, Li Chu pounced like a tiger, pinning Ding Qiunan beneath him and whispering in her ear, "You can't sleep because you're not tired enough. Once I've exhausted you, you'll naturally fall asleep."
"Hmm..."
There are no children tonight, so the two of them can do whatever they want with this big kang (heated brick bed).
The next morning, not long after I arrived at the hospital, Li Qin came looking for me.
She didn't go into the consultation room, but pushed the cart and called Li Chu out.
"Your brother-in-law told me last night that you also think Jiadong should go, right?"
It seems that Li Qin is still a little reluctant to let her son go to such a far place.
"Sister, I think we should let Jiadong go there for two years of training, and then have Uncle Wang find a way to bring him back."
"But that's too far..."
