Captain Chen next door is already over 50 years old. He did not fight in the counterattack against the Monkey Kingdom last year and has no military merits. How can he possibly move up?
The reason why Zhou Yubai of their family was able to move up was that he fought for it on the battlefield with real swords and guns, and with his blood and life. But in the mouth of this old woman, it was said that they were good at dancing with the sleeves and currying favor with their superiors.
Chen Chuning looked at the old woman with a fake smile and said, "Grandma Chen, military merit is everything in the army. Now you know that Uncle Chen's name is not on the list of officers. Why did you cry and shout to stop Uncle Chen from going to the battlefield last year?
I remember when we were on a mission last year, you went to the political commissar's office every day and cried, saying that Uncle Chen was old, had elderly parents and young children to take care of, and begged the leader to have pity on your family. ”
"What? You don't want to go out on a mission, but you want the troops to think of you when you get a promotion. You want both. How dare you be so shameless?"
Ever since Shen Chu Ning moved into this compound and became neighbors with the Chen family, the old lady of the Chen family has taken advantage of her family.
But usually their family’s attitude is that they will just give a little for unimportant things, and as for excessive requests, they will refuse without hesitation.
But no matter what, the two families have always maintained superficial peace and have never had a falling out.
But she couldn't stand what Old Lady Chen said today, slandering her man.
She would never allow anyone to throw dirty water on the military medals that men had earned with their blood.
Old Mrs. Chen did not expect that Shen Chu Ning, who used to speak softly and was delicate and weak, would be so strong today.
She looked a little unhappy, but she also knew that she was in the wrong after the incident, so she said sullenly, "Xiao Shen, I am already very old, even if I said something wrong, you don't have to make such a big deal about it. You are a college student, don't you know what it means to respect the elderly and love the young?"
Shen Chuning: "It is precisely because I am a college student that I know that the military merits of all soldiers, including my man, who fought for their lives cannot be slandered.
If everyone is like you, Grandma Chen, who takes advantage of your seniority and says that soldiers' military merits are gained by treating leaders to dinner, the soldiers will be disheartened. Who will be willing to sacrifice their lives to defend the country in the future? ”
Granny Chen's face turned blue after being told this by Shen Chuning.
Just at this time, Chen Weiguo returned from training in the army.
Seeing Shen Chuning, he greeted politely: “Xiao Shen…”
Before he finished speaking, Granny Chen started howling, "Oh, my son, you are finally back. If you hadn't come back, I would have been bullied to death!
Nowadays, college students are so ignorant of their studies that they are bullying an old lady like me..."
Shen Chuning: …
She had heard before that the old lady of the Chen family was a bad person, but her family adhered to the principle of "gentlemen's friendship is as light as water" when interacting with people in this compound, and they did not have much interaction with anyone.
In addition, all the people living in this compound are family members of cadres at the deputy regimental level and above. They are all educated and well-educated people, and they will restrain their family members and prevent them from doing anything wrong.
So Shen Chuning and the others have lived here for such a long time and have never had a quarrel with anyone.
I didn't expect that today I would be blamed by the old lady from the Chen family.
Shen Chu Ning looked at the old woman who was throwing a tantrum, but she was not afraid because she was in the right anyway.
Zhou Yubai, Lin Shulan and others heard the noise at the door and hurried out.
Zhou Yubai subconsciously stood in front of Shen Chuning, protecting Shen Chuning behind him, and faced Chen Weiguo and his son.
Shen Chuning pulled Zhou Yubai's hand, signaling the man not to block her.
The incident was caused by her, and it would be inappropriate for Zhou Yubai, a grown man, to argue with an old woman from the Chen family. It would be more appropriate for her to come to this occasion.
However, as soon as she signaled Zhou Yubai, Chen Weiguo's wife came out of the house.
Chen Weiguo's wife is Liu Yunxia, a nurse at the military hospital.
Liu Hongxia came out and looked at the old woman helplessly, "Mom, please stop making trouble, okay? Who bullied you? Captain Zhou was promoted because he fought for his military merits with his life, and he deserves it. You are spreading rumors here that he got the promotion by currying favor with the leaders, and no one has held you accountable.
You are still here slandering others for bullying you and saying that you don’t know how to respect the elderly and love the young. Do you want to destroy Wei’s country? ”
Granny Chen was a little restrained when facing Shen Chuning just now.
Now seeing his daughter-in-law's elbow turned outward, he helped Shen Chu Ning speak.
She raised her hand and was about to slap Liu Yunxia in the face. "You ungrateful bitch, not only did you watch me get bullied without saying anything, but now you're trying to stop my son from seeking justice for me. I'm going to beat you to death..."
The embarrassment on Chen Weiguo's face flashed away, and he quickly grabbed his mother.
Although he is filial, he is not stupid.
He still knew what kind of person his mother was.
"Mom, please stop making trouble." Chen Weiguo said helplessly: "You said that to Captain Zhou. It was our fault in the first place. If you continue to make trouble, I really have no face to stay in the army anymore."
The arrogance of old lady Chen finally subsided a little.
She was not afraid of anything else except that her son would take off his military uniform in anger and retire.
In her heart, her son is a high-ranking military officer, and she is equivalent to the old lady in the ancient general's mansion.
Now when she goes back to her hometown, not only the team leader and the brigade leader, but even the commune cadres are polite to her.
If her son transferred back to civilian work, she would definitely not be able to enjoy this treatment.
She softened her expression and muttered, "I just said that, it's useless to say it, they didn't lose a piece of meat, how big a deal can it be?"
