Zhou Yubai raised his hand and rubbed Shen Chuning's soft hair, looked at the anxious young wife with deep eyes and said softly, "It's okay."
"My little cousin wants to join the army because he read in the newspaper that things are not going well in the Monkey Kingdom recently and our country may go to war with them at any time.
It just so happens that our army is planning to expand its recruitment recently because of this matter. My little cousin is full of passion and wants to serve his country, which is a good thing. ”
Zhou Yubai turned to Shen Fengxia and said, "Aunt, please ask my cousin to come to me in the next two days. I will arrange for him to be sent to the special training unit. After the training, he can be directly sent to the border to fight the enemy. At that time, he will serve the motherland and make great achievements."
Shen Fengxia, who was so proud just now, turned pale and asked in a trembling voice: "You...what did you say? Our country is going to war again?"
Zhou Yubai corrected her seriously, "It's not me who said we're going to have a war, but according to news reports, our border is now experiencing frequent friction with the Monkey Country. The country must reserve its strength and be ready for war at any time."
Shen Fengxia didn't care about him so much.
She wanted to send her older son to join the army because now "one person joining the army brings honor to the whole family" and soldiers have good treatment and high social status.
Moreover, she felt that the situation was stable now and there would be no more wars. Once her son joined the army, she could ask Zhou Yubai and Shen Zhengrong for help and get a position as an officer.
But if there is another war, that would be a different matter.
But she thought that it was not a solution for her old son to lie at home all day, and Zhou Yubai had finally spoken up, so she didn't want to give up this opportunity.
She asked tentatively: "Yubai, can you help me get your cousin to the logistics unit?
By the way, my aunt thinks it would be great if you could be the head of a regiment and guard our oil field. ”
Zhou Yubai frowned slightly, his aura became even colder, "There is no logistics during wartime. Once the war starts, I will also go to the battlefield."
As soon as Zhou Yubai said this.
Before Shen Fengxia could speak again, Wu Yaozu, who had just finished the last egg cake, had already given up, "I won't join the army!"
Shen Fengxia hurriedly tried to persuade her son, "Yaozu, let me tell you..."
Wu Yaozu looked impatient and used his little finger to pick his ears. Before Shen Fengxia finished speaking, he yelled at her, "I told you I don't want to be a soldier. Don't you understand what people say? Didn't you hear that the newspapers said that there would be a war soon?
If you want to die, go by yourself. I won’t die anyway! ”
After Wu Yaozu finished speaking, he didn't care about Shen Fengxia and just left with his trembling fat.
"Alas!" Shen Fengxia stomped her feet helplessly, and didn't bother to bargain with Zhou Yubai anymore. She quickly chased after him, "Yaozu, wait a minute. If you don't want to join the army, we won't go. Let's go find your uncle and ask him to arrange a job for you in the county committee."
Shen Chu Ning frowned tightly.
My uncle was a son-in-law who married into the Liu family and had no status in the family.
They went to pay New Year's greetings yesterday, and they didn't know what had happened to the Liu family. Their uncle had already been hospitalized.
If Shen Fengxia were to bother her uncle with such a difficult matter as finding a job at this time...
Although Shen Chu Ning was worried, she didn't dare to show it on her face.
Since she had promised her uncle not to tell her father and brother about his illness, she would do it.
Shen Qingsong heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Shen Fengxia and her son leave.
He turned around and explained to Shen Chuning carefully, "My dear, Daddy really didn't say that to your aunt. Even if Daddy is confused, he won't agree to her doing that kind of thing, playing with your brother and Yu Bai's future.
It’s even more impossible for Dad not to love you…”
Although Shen Chu Ning's eyes were still red, she showed a bright smile and said, "Dad, don't worry, I know. The sound insulation of our house is not that good. When my mother and I were outside the door, we heard you scolding her to get out. I just cried on purpose for her to see..."
After listening to Shen Chuning's explanation, Shen Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief, smiled happily and praised repeatedly: "Haha... my good girl is really smart."
Hearing Father Shen's standard words to coax a child, the smile on Shen Chu Ning's little face became brighter.
With her father around, she can always be a child. How great!

“Mother, two aunts, those words I just said about fighting were to scare Shen Fengxia and Wu Yaozu, so please don’t spread it outside.”
Zhou Yubai walked up to Lin Shulan and the other two and explained to them what he had just said.
In fact, the Monkey Country is indeed a little restless now and has been provoking our border. The newspapers occasionally report on these minor frictions.
However, these reports usually just gloss over the details, and only people with particularly strong political acumen can see the clues.
But now, ordinary people in our country are not only politically sensitive, but also read newspapers. Even more than half of them are still illiterate.
Shen Chuning remembered that she had seen statistics in the newspaper a few years ago. The overall illiteracy rate in our country is now 53%, and the illiteracy rate among women has reached an astonishing 70%.
After hearing what Zhou Yubai said, Lin Shulan naturally didn't need to say anything. She just followed whatever her eldest son said.
Zhao Xiuying and Deng Hongmei are not the kind of people who like to gossip.
Just now, when they heard Zhou Yubai say that there might be another war, they were all shocked. Now, when they heard Zhou Yubai say that he said this to scare Shen Fengxia and her son, they both felt relieved and nodded repeatedly, indicating that they would not spread the news.
Moreover, their two daughters have married into the Shen family, and Zhou Yubai is the son-in-law of the Shen family. They are all relatives, and they share the same fate. They will not spread words that may affect Zhou Yubai.
night.
Shen Chuning was lying in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, thinking that Shen Fengxia would go to find her uncle.
After she tossed and turned and baked the pancake several times, the man stretched out his arms and held her in his arms.
Then, he kissed her earlobe and asked in a low and hoarse voice, full of temptation: "Wife, what are you thinking about?"
