Lin Xiaoxiao and Qin Yushen hosted the dinner, but did not invite Commander Zhao's family.
In this situation, He Meng didn't want others to know that Qin Yushen was her son, and she ordered Zhao Yu not to go either.
Zhao Yu said nonchalantly, "My brother didn't invite me, so why would I go? Besides, I'm just a small company commander. Would I just become a laughingstock if I went?"
Everyone knows he is the son of the army commander.
The battalion and regimental commanders in the army didn't like to deal with him.
That old fox, the deputy battalion commander, made him attend two consecutive days of ideological education classes in retaliation for his disrespect.
He was sick of hearing all those grand principles.
Even if you invited him, he wouldn't go.
He Meng felt sorry for her son, "Your dad is really something, insisting that you join the army. Training every day must be so tiring."
The two stepsons mentioned above were either factory workers or the head of the personnel department at a sewing machine factory. They had high salaries, high status, and easy jobs.
Even Zhao Mei managed to get a position as a music teacher at a primary school for children of military personnel.
Only her son, who was working hard in the army, was a mother who felt heartbroken seeing him suffer.
But Zhao Weiguo had greater prestige in the army. Zhao Yu could only get everything from his father by joining the army, and only by joining the army could he have a smoother path in life.
Zhao Yu said, "Brother's promotion this time is a done deal."
"The gap between him and me will only become more and more obvious."
"Mom, do you think I'll never be as good as him?"
Thinking of Qin Yushen, a gloomy feeling welled up in Zhao Yu's heart.
His older brother, who had been bullied by him since childhood, thought he would be a pitiful wretch for life, but now he has become a top soldier in the army and has even been recognized by the commander of the General Military Region.
He was unwilling to accept it.
Qin Yushen should be forever trampled under his feet.
Speaking of this, He Meng was also in a bad mood. "No, in Mom's heart, you are better than him. One day you will surpass him."
It's unclear whether he was saying these words to comfort his son or himself.
Zhao Yu was born to He Meng, who had been eagerly anticipating his birth, and she had devoted a great deal of effort to him from a young age.
As for Qin Yushen, that unfilial son, every time she saw him, she thought of his cold-hearted father.
Although He Meng was from the city, her family background was ordinary. She had two older sisters and three younger brothers. As the middle one, and not even a son, she was naturally not favored.
Luckily, he met Qin Jinye, the illegitimate son of the Qin family. At that time, Qin Jinye had not yet been recognized by the Qin family, but he was already a junior section chief with a promising future.
After getting married, she realized that Qin Jinye was not a suitable person for marriage at all. He was focused on his career and only wanted to climb the social ladder, and he was not considerate at all.
He Meng is a dreamer; she pursues love and longs for a marriage that is always filled with romance.
Qin Jinye clearly didn't fit this description, so she wanted a divorce. But then she became pregnant. During her pregnancy, she and Qin Jinye argued frequently, and she naturally didn't like the baby in her womb much.
But after the divorce, she realized that she had been too naive. Divorced women are not welcomed when they return to their parents' home.
So she married Zhao Weiguo, a rough man twenty years her senior, and became the stepmother of three stepsons and stepdaughters, feeling incredibly resentful.
Fortunately, Zhao Weiguo was already a division commander in the Beijing Military Region at the time, with medals adorning his chest and considerable power in the military. He Meng, who was already aware of the realities of society, naturally could not let such an opportunity pass by.
She had just married Zhao Weiguo when the Qin family recognized Qin Jinye as their new wife. Qin Jinye then married a woman of equal social standing, which she resented.
She was determined to raise Zhao Yu well and make him surpass Qin Yushen, in order to prove that her son with Zhao Weiguo was better than her son with Qin Jinye.
Now, as Qinyu Avenue grows wider and wider, his beloved son remains in the same place.
He Meng was also unwilling to give up.
But she couldn't bear to see her son so dejected, so she comforted him, "No matter how capable he is, he still married an uneducated village girl. You're different. Mom will definitely help you find a wife who can help you."
"By the way, how are things going between you and that girl from the Zhou family? You two aren't getting any younger, should your dad and I go and propose marriage to you?"
Zhao Yu scratched his head in frustration. "Mingmei said that her dad and brother think she's still too young and plan to keep her for a few more years."
His position in the military is now awkward, and his father doesn't help him.
If I marry Zhou Mingmei, the Zhou family will definitely lend a hand.
The classified unit where Zhou Mingmei's older brother works is even more special, and its power is not to be underestimated.
However, the Zhou family clearly did not intend to arrange the marriage so quickly, and they still intended to test him.
He Meng patted his head, her eyes flashing slightly, "Don't worry, Mom will figure something out for you."
Zhao Yu wanted to know if there was any way to resolve this.
Seeing that He Meng was deep in thought, I didn't dare to interrupt her.
A glimmer of hope rose in my heart.
The Qin family.
The invited regimental and battalion commanders all brought their families.
There were three tables full of people, all sitting down.
Everyone was shocked to learn that it was Qin Yushen's cooking.
"I never expected you to have this skill, Yu Shen!" Shao Gang, the commander of the Second Regiment, slapped Qin Yu Shen on the shoulder.
Qin Yushen didn't sway at all, sitting steadily. "I spent half a year in the mess hall, you know that, Commander."
Having personally promoted his capable subordinate, Shao Gang naturally knew about his experiences after enlisting in the army, and joked, "Looks like I'll have to come here for meals more often from now on."
Qin Yushen: "Does your sister-in-law know that you dislike her cooking?"
The two spoke as if they were talking in riddles; apart from the regimental political commissar, none of the other battalion commanders could understand them.
