The flag-raising ceremony did not last long. After watching it, Jia Dongsheng rushed back with Banggeng.
However, perhaps the impression was too deep. Banggen always thinks of the heroic and orderly military honor guard. He is very envious and wants to join in.
This caused him to lose focus from time to time, his running steps became disordered, and he stumbled and almost fell several times.
At this time, Bang Geng would ask, "Second Uncle, when can I join the army?"
That’s right, he kept Jia Dongsheng’s words in mind, which made Jia Dongsheng very happy.
"Well, it's good that you like being a soldier. It's much better than being a thief."
Jia Dongsheng smiled with satisfaction, then said, "Why, are you in a hurry to join the army?"
"Well, I want to join the army now." Banggeng answered loudly.
"Ha ha......"
The child's innocence was fully revealed at this moment. Jia Dongsheng laughed: "It won't work now. You have to be a little older, maybe sixteen or seventeen."
"Sixteen or seventeen?"
Bang Geng's little head had no idea: "How long is that?"
"Well, ten years from now, I'll let you join the army."
"ten years?"
Although Banggeng doesn't know many things, he still understands a lot in the past ten years. This is because he gets one year older every year, and that takes a long time!
Thinking of this, her little face twitched.
There's no way. For a seven or eight-year-old child, ten years is really too long.
Jia Dongsheng ignored him and continued, "Hurry up and run. We have to eat when we get back."
"oh."
After responding weakly, Banggeng strode home again, but his face no longer had the vigor he had when he came.
There's nothing he can do. When he thinks that it will take another ten years before he can join the army, Banggeng feels a wave of despair.
When he returned home, Banggeng still looked unhappy. Jia Zhang, who had just woken up, saw this and thought that Banggeng had been criticized by Jia Dongsheng again.
"My dear grandson, what's wrong? Did you make a mistake again and get scolded by your uncle?"
Jia Zhang quickly pulled the stick over and started to show concern.
"No, Grandma."
Banggeng buried his head in Jia Zhang's arms and shook his head: "Grandma, I want to join the army. I want to join the army now."
That's right, this kid is being pretentious. Faced with such a situation, Jia Dongsheng, who was following behind, really wanted to kick him in the butt.
He hates pretentious little guys the most.
"Hey, my eldest grandson is really awesome. He wants to be a soldier at such a young age. Okay, grandma supports you."
Jia Zhang was happy. There was nothing she could do about it. People of this era had a natural affinity for soldiers, and the close relationship between the military and the people could be said to be at its strongest during this period.
Even Jia Zhang was no exception.
Therefore, when faced with Banggeng's desire to join the army, Jia Zhangshi was also very supportive: "But grandson, you are still too young to join the army now. If you really want to join the army, we can go when we grow up, okay?"
"No, I want to join the army now. I want to go raise the flag now."
Well, since he didn't dare to speak loudly to Jia Dongsheng, he could only be pretentious in front of Jia Zhangshi.
"Bang Geng, what are you doing so early in the morning?"
Qin Huairu, who had just finished cooking, walked out of the kitchen and heard Banggeng's crying voice. She immediately frowned.
Before Jia Dongsheng came back, the look of frowning and scolding Banggeng would never appear on Qin Huairu again. There was no way around it. At that time, her status in the family was only slightly higher than Xiaodang.
It’s because Xiaodang is still young.
In front of Jia Zhang, she had no right to scold the child. If she dared to scold Bang Geng loudly, Jia Zhang would scold her even louder. Therefore, Qin Huairu was really a good daughter-in-law at that time. She could only endure the anger but not get angry.
Things are different now. Although her status in the family has not risen to the level where she can say anything bad about Jia Zhang, she still has the power of suppressing Bang Geng as her mother.
If things go wrong, you can even beat up Bang Geng to satisfy your itchy hands.
When Banggeng heard Qin Huairu's words, his little body trembled. There was nothing he could do as he still remembered the beating he received last time.
It is said that children remember food but not beatings, but Banggeng is smart and he will remember it.
He also knew that he couldn't mess with his second uncle, mother, or aunt at home, so he could only try to make his presence felt in front of his grandmother.
"Nothing, Mom. I just want to be a soldier."
Banggeng raised his head from Jia Zhang's arms, smiled awkwardly at Qin Huairu, then immediately ran to the bathroom to wash his face.
I just worked up a sweat while running, I need to take a good shower. If I continue hanging around in the living room, I'll probably get beaten up!
Alas, it is becoming increasingly difficult to survive at home, and Banggeng feels a little emotional!
"Bang Geng actually wants to join the army?"
Although the person ran away, the words he left behind made Qin Huairu stunned for a moment, and then she looked at Jia Dongsheng.
At the same time, Jia Zhang also turned her attention and asked, "Dongsheng, what happened to Banggeng? Why do you suddenly want to join the army?"
"Nothing much, I just took him to see the flag-raising ceremony, and he loved it. He keeps saying he wants to join the army."
Jia Dongsheng's lips curled up into a smile. "That's great. I'll take him to watch the flag-raising ceremony every day. In another eight or nine years, I'll let him join the army."
"Originally, I wanted Banggeng to join the army when he grew up, but I was afraid he wouldn't agree. Now, it's all settled."
"Really?"
Qin Huairu was happy to hear that Jia Dongsheng was really going to send Banggeng to join the army, as Banggeng had just done what he wanted.
She also has a special admiration for soldiers, and she would certainly be very happy if Banggeng could join the army.
The same was true for Jia Zhang. She didn't feel that being a soldier was hard or tiring at all. On the contrary, she knew that being a soldier was the best place for a boy.
Seeing that both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law supported it, Jia Dongsheng knew in his heart that Banggeng’s military service was decided.
Even if this kid doesn't want to go when he grows up, he won't be allowed to do so. He has to be a soldier.
"Really? When Bang Geng grows up, I'll use my connections and send him to the army for a few years."
Jia Dongsheng nodded, gave a definite answer, and then said: "Sister-in-law, hurry up and eat. After dinner, we have to set off."
"Let's put the Banggeng thing aside for now. Even if he really joins the army, it will take ten or eight years. There's no rush to discuss it now."
"Okay, I'll go get the porridge."
Qin Huairu always had a smile on her face, and she couldn't hide her smile even when she was eating. There was no way. When she thought about her son who would be a soldier in the future, she was so happy.
After dinner, when she arrived at the factory, Qin Huairu immediately went to share her joy with Liu Lan.
Jia Dongsheng began to prepare various dishes for today's lunch with Nan Yi.
