"mom!"
Hearing Zhang Shuqin ask this, Lin Musen was really scared and tried to stop her from speaking, but he couldn't stop her at all.
"I'm talking to Commander Zheng, please move aside."
After scolding Lin Musen, Zhang Shuqin smiled at Zheng Hongjun in a flattering manner.
"What do you think, Commander Zheng? Mu Sen has excellent physical fitness. He will have no problem being a soldier. He doesn't need to be an officer. He can stand guard, watch over the warehouse, or do any heavy work."
Zhang Shuqin originally wanted Zhan Beiqin to find a job for Lin Musen, but Zhan Beiqin had already refused. She could not rely on this step-son, and she met Zheng Hongjun in person, so naturally she had to fight for her son.
When Zheng Hongjun heard her question, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Auntie, although I am the commander of the army, I don't have the final say on who can join the army. Our army has strict requirements for conscription.
I also see that your son has good physical fitness. When the conscription comes next year, you can let him sign up and try. As long as he meets all the requirements, he will be recruited into the army. However, I can't say specifically which military region he will be assigned to.
"Commander Zheng, what you said is... that's being modest. You're such a high-ranking officer, how can you still have the final say in assigning a small soldier? It's just your word..."
When Zhang Shuqin reached this point, Zhan Beiqin interrupted her with a sullen face.
"The army has its own rules, and naturally, they can't be dictated by one person. Allowing you to visit the military region today, accompanied by the commander, is already an exception. Anything beyond the bounds should be stopped here. No more."
Zheng Hongjun was quite polite in his words just now, but Zhan Beiqin was not polite at all and did not give his stepmother any face at all. Zhang Shuqin's face instantly became very ugly.
"Mom, what are you saying in front of the head of the National People's Congress?" Lin Musen wanted to find a hole to crawl into. He didn't want to come in the first place, but Zhang Shuqin dragged him here.
He thought it would be good to go to the big city to see the world, but in the end he didn't see the world and he was the one making a fool of himself.
"I'm sorry, Commander Zheng, my mother was just joking. I don't want to be a soldier. I never wanted to be a soldier. Don't take my mother's words to heart."
Zheng Hongjun could only smile awkwardly. Lin Musen couldn't stay in this place any longer, so he made up an excuse: "I've had enough of the military area. You guys take your time, I'm leaving first."
After saying that, Lin Musen hurried out. Zhang Shuqin shouted, "You're unfamiliar with this place. Where are you going? You'll get lost again."
"I'll wait at the entrance of the military area. I won't get lost."
After saying that, Lin Musen walked out quickly. Zhan Nanjin hurriedly said, "I'll go check on Brother Musen. Don't let him get lost."
Zhan Beiqin gave Li Kui a look, and Li Kui hurriedly said, "I'll go show them the way."
After Li Kui finished speaking, he hurried out. With the little incident just now, the atmosphere changed. Zhang Shuqin was obviously unhappy at this moment.
So Zheng Hongjun found an excuse to go out and asked his subordinates to take them around first.
"The commander is busy, and I have to go too. The military district is a place with strict rules after all, so don't stay too long. After we see you, Xiao Li will take you to your home in the military compound. I will go home after I finish my work."
Zhan Beiqin walked away after he finished speaking. The tone of his voice just now did not sound like he was talking to his elders at all, but more like he was talking to a subordinate, which made Ren Rongzheng feel a little embarrassed.
Was he like this before, or did he become like this after getting married?
If it's the latter, then wouldn't she be the one taking the blame?
"What's your son's attitude? His eyes are almost in the sky."
"Okay, okay, we are still in the military area. Let's talk about it when we get home." Zhan Tianzhu was also afraid of being embarrassed, so he quickly grabbed Zhang Shuqin.
Ren Rongzheng just watched and couldn't help but sigh. It was true that every family has its own problems. She and her natal family were already torn apart. She didn't want to get involved in the mess of her husband's family and just watched the show quietly.
The subordinates took them for a walk and then took them out of the military area. Li Kui, Zhan Nanjin and Lin Musen stood at the gate of the military area.
"Uncle Zhan, Aunt Zhang, Sister-in-law." Li Kui addressed them one by one. "The commander has already instructed that after you finish touring the military area, I will take you home."
"No need, Xiao Li, I'll just take my father-in-law and the others back, you go ahead and do your work."
"But the chief instructed..."
"I'll explain to him and won't blame you. Go ahead and get busy."
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."
After Li Kui left, Ren Rongzheng politely said to the four of them, "Dad, Aunt Zhang, Nan Jin, and Mu Sen, I'll take you to see Bei Qin and I's home in the military compound. We'll be moving soon, but you can come live here after we move in."
"You guys go, I'm not going. I'm just going to stroll around and then stroll back to the hotel." Lin Musen said hurriedly.
"Go ahead. Now that you're here, how can you not recognize your home?" Ren Rongzheng said.
"That's right, Brother Musen, let's go and take a look." Zhan Nanjin also went to pull Lin Musen over.
"That's right, your sister-in-law has invited us, so we should go and see what the military family compound is like." Zhang Shuqin said.
Lin Musen had no choice but to accept the invitation.
Afterwards, Ren Rongzheng led them into the military compound. After entering, everyone who saw Ren Rongzheng greeted him respectfully: "Hello, Madam Brigade Commander."
Although those people called Ren Rongzheng instead of themselves, they were all in the same group, and their vanity was aroused, and they felt quite proud.
"Among those living in this military compound, is my son the one with the highest official rank?" Zhan Tianzhu looked proud when he asked this question.
"Yes, at the moment." Ren Rongzheng replied.
"See, I told you my son has really made it big."
"Yes, he is very successful. But even though he is so successful, we don't get any credit for it." Zhang Shuqin agreed and complained at the same time.
"Mom, please talk less." Lin Musen interrupted immediately.
Judging from his previous behavior, Ren Rongzheng had a pretty good impression of Lin Musen. He felt that he was not the kind of shameless stepbrother who would suck their blood.
"This is Beiqin and I's home. Find a place to sit. Aunt Jin, pour a glass of water for my father-in-law and the others."
"Oh my, there's a nanny at home?" Zhang Shuqin was really surprised. "The living conditions are really good, but the living environment is not as luxurious as I imagined. I thought it was a big house, but it's not even as big as the houses in the countryside..."
"The houses in our countryside are big but shabby and worthless. This is a big city, and every inch of land is valuable. Besides, this is a military compound. Not just any soldier can live here. You need to have a high enough military rank to be able to live here." Zhan Tianzhu explained hurriedly.
