But he was unforgiving: "Why are you reluctant? Nowadays, every family has a child who goes to the countryside. Your brothers have all gone to the army, and you are the only one left in our family. If you don't go, who will? Are you going to let your brothers retire and go to the countryside?"
The young man shut his mouth. Of course he couldn't do that. He could say whatever he wanted to say. Although his three brothers were expressionless, it really didn't matter to him. If going to the countryside would affect his three brothers' future, it was not impossible for him to go.
Who told him not to like being a soldier? He prefers doing business. It's a pity that there is no room for him to display his talents now!
When the boy heard the sound of a car coming from the door, he stood up with a look of joy on his face: "Grandpa, are my brothers back?"
The old man shook the newspaper and folded it, then looked towards the door and saw two well-dressed young men striding in.
The two young men saluted the old man as they came in. The old man nodded with satisfaction: "Are you back?"
"The Gao family kid is here too?"
Gao Yuan quickly greeted, "Hello, Grandpa Cen."
"Sit down and talk."
The two young men sat across from the old man. The young man greeted them with a smile, "Brother, Brother Yuan, why are you two back together?"
Gao Yuan glanced at Cen Zigu and asked, "You didn't tell your brother?"
Cen Zigu shook his head slightly and said, "I haven't told you yet. I thought I'd tell you together since you came today."
Cen Zixiang, the youngest of the third generation of the Cen family, felt a chill run down his spine. Why did it feel like these two were coming for him? Were they trying to make him an undercover agent? No, that wasn't going to be easy.
He was afraid that he would be caught by the enemy and blurt out things he shouldn't say under torture. If he had to do this job, he might as well join the army directly, because it would be more exciting to fight with real guns and swords.
Although he is usually very talkative, he is the least cunning one among the four brothers in the family. He is really not suitable for doing cunning work. He should be considered a technical talent with an honest heart.
It's a pity that he has the external conditions but not the internal hardware conditions, and his IQ cannot be made up for later!
Gao Yuan smiled, and Cen Zixiang subconsciously took a step back. Oh my god! This is too scary! Don't these people always have stern faces and never smile? This smile is too creepy.
It feels like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken, but with no good intentions.
Gao Yuan was almost amused by the boy's actions and facial expression. "I came here today to give you a task. Comrade Cen Zixiang, can you complete it?"
Cen Zixiang subconsciously stood at attention and saluted: "I guarantee to complete the mission."
Cen Zixiang froze for a moment. He said that it was not good for people who grew up under military management. Obedience was ingrained in their bones. Why did he agree to it so quickly?
He turned his head stiffly towards his grandfather who was sitting there, and Mr. Cen quickly lowered the corners of his mouth that were raised.
Anyone can see the cry for help in Cen Zixiang's eyes. Please save me, your grandson, I really can't do it!
The old man pretended not to see his grandson's cry for help. This kid's skills were better than his brothers, but he was always out of tune and looked like a second-generation rich kid. He had to be put in a splint.
Cen Zixiang was very desperate. No wonder the old man who always loved him was so determined to let him go to the countryside today. It turned out that he was going to carry out a mission.
No, he is not a serious soldier. What mission can he carry out? There are so many soldiers in his family who don’t go, so why let him, who is nothing, go?
But he also knew that once his grandfather had made a decision, no one could change his mind, not even his parents.
In an instant, Cen Zixiang's eyes dimmed. It seemed that his free days were gone.
But in a flash, the young man stood up straight, exuding a sharp edge. He looked like a completely different person from his previous nonchalant look.
Old Cen nodded in satisfaction. This was what his grandson should be like. Even though he usually pretended to be a dandy, it couldn't hide the ruthlessness and decisiveness that came from his bones.
He is still in his young stage. As long as he exercises more, he will be a good son of the Cen family.
"You two go upstairs and talk," Don't say this in front of him, he is semi-retired and doesn't want to get involved in these things. The more he gets involved, the more worries he will have.
Cen Zigu stood up and nodded to his grandfather, then took Gao Yuan and his younger brother to the study upstairs, where all the important family matters were discussed.
The three of them talked for an hour, and when Cen Zixiang came out, he had returned to his original appearance. No trace of his previous aggressive look could be seen. He looked like a second-generation rich kid who had never grown up.
Cen Zixiang approached the old man with a playful smile and said, "Grandpa, we have a deal. I am representing our family to go to the countryside, and you have to subsidize me a lot. I, your grandson, cannot endure hardship, so you must not be stingy with food, drink, and money."
Elder Cen smiled and patted the brat: "Don't worry, even if I am willing to let you go, your grandmother and your mother will not be able to do without you."
Cen Zixiang looked at his eldest brother with a smile: "Brother, my younger brother's future living standard depends on you."
Cen Zihu was not vague at all. He took out a stack of banknotes and placed them on the coffee table: "It's not enough. Talk to Big Brother."
He was also reluctant to let his younger brother go to the countryside to suffer. This kid grew up in a honey pot and had never suffered any hardship, not even during the most difficult years.
But for this mission, it is only right for me to go. Anyone else going will attract other people's attention.
It just so happened that there was a call for cadres' families to take the lead in going to the countryside, so I could take the opportunity to go there to protect those important talents without attracting any attention.
Cen Zixiang's eyes rolled around, planning to visit his uncle's house and then his third uncle's house, so that he could go to suffer with full pockets.
Cen Zigu shook his head. His younger brother was obviously not very smart, so he should have made efforts to contribute to the country's development. However, this kid seemed to have no determination and refused to go to the research institute to do serious research no matter what.
People might misunderstand that this guy is an unlearned playboy, but I guess I did it on purpose. It's impossible for all the family members to be successful. Wouldn't that make Qing a target?
Cen Zixiang...you misunderstood me. I was just pretending to be smart! Anyone would have learned it twice, so how could they not learn quickly?
Thinking of the flowers blooming at home, who can say what will happen at this time? Fortunately, grandpa was not power-hungry and retired early, otherwise it would be hard to say where their family is now.
Thinking about what his father said, it seems that he should move to another place to bide his time. Heilongjiang Province is a good choice. He will report back when he returns so that he can take better care of his younger brother there.
