"Uncle, please help me."
Qin Chang's words made Qin Lin silent for a moment.
After a long while, he finally spoke: "Xiaochang, you have the idea of joining the army. Have you told your grandmother?"
Qin Chang shook his head: "No. Grandma has always been against anyone in the family joining the army. She wouldn't agree, and I didn't dare tell her."
"You didn't dare tell your grandma, so why did you dare tell me?" Qin Lin asked him, "You think I won't tell your grandma, right?"
"Uncle, you are a soldier. A retired soldier is still a soldier. Soldiers should keep their promises." Qin Chang said, "You just promised me that you wouldn't tell my grandmother."
Qin Lin hadn't expected Qin Chang to use this angle to hinder him. He couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, I won't tell your grandma. But you have to answer my question."
"You ask." Qin Chang stood in front of Qin Lin with his hands hanging at his sides.
Qin Lin: "When did you first think about joining the army?"
"Ever since I was a kid," Qin Lin whispered. "My grandmother always told me about your great achievements in the war, praising you as a hero who saved the country and the people. Ever since then, I've admired you and soldiers. I dreamed of joining the army when I grew up and becoming a hero who could save the country and the people."
Qin Lin sighed when he heard this.
Qin Fang was wrong in this matter.
If you don't want your children to join the army and fight in wars, you shouldn't tell them these things when they are young.
It is too cruel for a child to instill the desire to be a soldier in his heart and then firmly oppose him from joining the army.
Thinking of this, Qin Lin couldn't help but sigh again and tried to persuade him, "Xiaochang, your uncle has been through it all. Being a soldier isn't as glamorous as you think. Daily life is tough, and all honors earned are earned with blood and tears. Compared to being a soldier, studying is much easier. This is the right path. You should work hard to get into university and get a good job after graduation. Isn't that better than being a soldier?"
Qin Chang lowered his head. Although his voice was low, his tone was firm. "Uncle, I know you're doing this for my own good, but I'm really not cut out for studying. I couldn't even get into the county high school in my hometown. Coming to Beijing, the competition is even more intense, and I'm sure I won't be able to keep up. I don't want to waste your and my cousin's efforts, nor do I want to make my life so miserable."
Qin Lin felt a little complicated after hearing this.
He originally thought that Qin Chang was just temporarily not doing well in his studies, and that as long as he was given a good school and a teacher to tutor him, he would be able to catch up.
Unexpectedly, Qin Chang himself had lost confidence in studying and had his own ideas.
Qin Lin himself is a military man, and his son and son-in-law are also in the army. He doesn't really oppose Qin Chang's idea of joining the army, but he is worried that he won't be able to explain to his sister.
"Qin Chang, have you really thought it through? Serving in the military is no joke." Qin Lin sighed, his tone softening. "Serving in the military is tough. The daily training and the hardships you experience are probably more difficult than you can imagine right now. You're still young and probably haven't thought it through yet. Don't make an impulsive decision."
Qin Chang shook his head and said, "Uncle, I'm not acting on impulse. I've been thinking about this for a long, long time. I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm just afraid of being a nobody. Please promise me, help me, and I'll definitely repay you in the future."
Qin Lin looked at Qin Chang's determined eyes and felt a little shaken.
He knew that Qin Chang was telling the truth. If a child was not good at studying, forcing him to study would only make him more miserable.
However, if he just let him go to the army, Qin Lin was worried... If something unfortunate happened to him in the future, his sister Qin Fang would probably hate him to death.
After all, this is not a peaceful time, and soldiers in the army may be sent to the battlefield at any time.
If there is war, people will die.
Bullets have no eyes. They don't care whose child or grandson you are. If they want to kill you, they will kill you.
"I need to think about this again." Qin Lin rubbed his slightly swollen and aching temple. His drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked a little tired.
"Don't rush to make a decision. Let me discuss it with your cousin."
Qin Chang nodded obediently, "Okay, Uncle, please think about it carefully. I'm going out to play with my cousins."
"Go ahead."
Qin Lin waved his hand and watched Qin Chang leave the living room. He sat on the sofa, his heart in turmoil.
Qin Lin originally wanted to transfer Qin Chang's household registration to the capital, find him a good school, and let him study and become a talented person. But now, Qin Chang himself does not want to study and instead wants to join the army.
According to Qin Lin, being a soldier is not necessarily a bad thing.
There are 360 professions, and every profession has its own problems. If studying doesn't work for you, try another path, and maybe you will.
Unfortunately, there is his sister Qin Fang standing in the way.
Qin Fang was a hot-tempered woman who never went back on her word. If she knew that she had sent Qin Chang to the army without her knowledge, she would definitely cause chaos in the family.
Thinking of this, Qin Lin sighed heavily again.
well.
It's difficult.
With a "click".
Qin Lin suddenly came back to his senses, raised his head, and saw Feng Juan placing a cup of tea with yellow chrysanthemums in front of him.
"Okay, it's not a big deal. Stop worrying about it. Drink some chrysanthemum tea and calm down."
Qin Lin looked up at Feng Juan and snorted, "No need."
"You're being taken for granted." Feng Juan rolled her eyes. "If you don't want to drink, forget it."
If you don't take the step I give you, then don't come down from where you are.
After saying that, Feng Juan reached out and picked up the chrysanthemum tea and took it away.
"Hey, you..." Qin Lin glanced at the chrysanthemum tea that was taken away, and wanted to back down, but he had never bowed his head in front of a woman in his life, and he didn't know how to start the conversation.
While he was hesitating, Feng Juan had already entered the kitchen with the chrysanthemum tea, leaving him no chance to regret.
At dinner that night, the atmosphere at the table was a bit weird.
Yun Qiao and Qin Lin ignored each other. Although Feng Juan maintained a calm appearance with Qin Lin in front of the children, her rigid attitude said it all.
Qin Chang was a guest, living under someone else's roof. He kept his head down, said nothing, and just ate in silence.
Yan Jingwan sensed something was wrong, but as a daughter-in-law, she couldn't interfere too much in her husband's family affairs, so she pretended not to notice anything. After dinner, she took her children back to her room to rest early.
Yun Qiao followed Yan Jingwan's footsteps and took his two children back to his room after dinner.
Soon, only Qin Chang and Feng Juan and Qin Lin were left in the living room.
Qin Chang was holding the bowl, feeling a little uncomfortable.
