Chapter 836 (Page 1/2)
Huo Li frowned slightly, looked at Huo Yining seriously, and asked with a hint of doubt in his tone: "Yining, why did you suddenly change your life goals? Don't you want to be a soldier anymore?"
Huo Yining seemed to see the disappointed look in his great-grandfather's eyes. He quickly waved his hands and replied confidently and firmly, "Great-grandfather, don't get me wrong! I have never given up the idea of joining the army.
I plan to apply to a military academy after taking the college entrance exam. Not only do I want to become a soldier, but I also aspire to be promoted step by step to become an officer and then a general!
Hearing his great-grandson's ambitious words, Huo Li's heart finally settled down. He nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Well, well, well, you're worthy of being my good great-grandson! Judging from your current academic performance and comprehensive qualities, getting into a military academy is absolutely a piece of cake.
However, when it comes to becoming a general, we still have to take it step by step.
After all, times are different now. The country has been liberated, and it is not as easy as before to achieve great military achievements.
But as long as you keep working hard, I believe your dream will come true one day!"
Huo Yining's slightly childish face suddenly became serious. He blinked his bright eyes and said to Huo Li seriously:
"Grandpa, I don't know why, but I've always had this strong feeling in my heart, as if I was a majestic and awe-inspiring general in my past life!"
Hearing this, Huo Li couldn't help but burst into laughter. His laughter was hearty and loud, as if the whole room was filled with this cheerful atmosphere.
He patted his thigh lightly and said with a smile, "Haha, if that's what you said, then your great-grandfather must have been a veteran general in my previous life!"
After hearing this, Huo Yining frowned and complained with some dissatisfaction: "Grandpa, how can you laugh at me? I am speaking the truth!"
Seeing his great-grandson being so serious, Huo Li quickly stopped laughing and comforted him, "Okay, okay, great-grandfather won't laugh at you anymore.
Yining, go to the yard and help Grandpa pick some grapes. Remember to wash them so we can eat them together after dinner."

"I know, Great Grandfather!"
After receiving the task, Huo Yining stood up and ran to the cabinet, took down a pair of scissors, and then quickly ran to the kitchen to get a basket for grapes.
At this moment, Huo Yiwen, who had been playing with paper airplanes, heard that his brother was going to pick grapes. He immediately became excited and chased after him like a little tail.
Huo Yixin sat quietly on the sofa, concentrating on fiddling with the colorful hairpins her mother gave her.
Huo Liwei watched his two great-grandsons run out of the living room, then raised his head and his gaze fell on his little grandson Huo Qinghuan who was sitting quietly in the other corner of the sofa reading a newspaper.
He asked softly, "Qinghuan, what are your thoughts and opinions on your sister-in-law setting up a stall to do business?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Qinghuan slowly put down the newspaper in his hand, turned his gaze to Huo Li, and a look of serious thought appeared on his face.
He slowly sat up straight, and his slightly lazy posture disappeared instantly, replaced by a remarkable dignity and steadiness.
He straightened his back slightly, his hands hanging naturally at his sides, his fingers lightly intertwined, and he answered calmly:
"Grandpa, judging from the results of today's stall, I think doing business is really profitable. I also know that business is a big deal. It's easy to start a business, but it's hard to do it well.
Also, I've discovered that my eldest sister-in-law is very smart and good at business. As long as my eldest sister-in-law is around, my nephews will definitely live a prosperous life in the future."
Huo Li raised his brows. "Even if your sister-in-law doesn't do business, your brother and the others will never have to worry about food and clothing. I'm not worried about them now, I'm just worried about your future life."
After you graduate from university, will you obey the government's assignment or follow your sister-in-law's example and go into business?
Huo Qinghuan looked up in confusion and said seriously, "Grandpa, are you trying to persuade me to go into business? Then why did I work so hard to get into university?"
