Chen Yuanwu had no hesitation before applying for the exam.
He still chose to study military command.
First, several military district leaders talked to him.
These leaders were all Chen Zhong's old superiors, and they all had high hopes for Chen Yuanwu's future.
As a father, the happiest thing is that the younger generation can take over. The content of the conversation was naturally the same as Chen Zhong's, and his words were earnest and heartfelt.
Originally, Chen Yuanwu thought that this was the way he would go.
Until he received a letter from Ye Qingyin.
As a mother, Ye Qingyin, as a mother who just wants her family to be reunited in peace and safety, does not want to promote the self-consciousness of the cadres' families at all, and does not want her son to fight on the front line at all.
In Ye Qingyin's impression, Xiao Wu has always been a shy, obedient and good son who respects his mother's wishes. He has never done anything to disobey his parents, and has never even talked back.
Later, at Chen Zhong's insistence, Xiao Wu dropped out of school and joined the army. Later, Xiao Wu stopped listening to his mother on many things.
In order to influence Chen Yuanwu's choice, Ye Qingyin simply fell seriously ill to stick to her own opinion.
She had her concerns. Old Chen had devoted his life to the organization when he was young, and now he was still devoted to his work and was often away from home. His two sons, both of whom were not too young, had joined the army. There were only three men in the family, and one of them had to be reliable.
The eldest son is well educated. If he chooses a career in politics, it will be safe and stable, and he will be able to take care of his younger siblings in the future.
She couldn't argue with Chen Zhong anyway, and in the end, she was the one who was wrong. For the sake of her eldest son's future, Ye Qingyin decided to go all out. She wrote her thoughts in a "suicide note" and asked someone to give it to Chen Yuanwu to express her position:
"Mom knows you have a promising future and supports your choice, but I hope you'll consider that you'll have to start a family in the future! Without a small family, there's no big family. Only when the small family is stable can everyone be happy!
Mom has no regrets marrying your dad in this life. Although I have to support this family alone, I am happy to have you three siblings no matter how tired I am.
Now that my health is failing, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you get married, so I'll tell you what I want to say. When you do, please tell her on my behalf. Just say what Mom said: as a soldier's family, you can't indulge in romantic relationships or have children. You have to get used to being alone and take good care of the old and the young. Also, thank her on my behalf; she's worked so hard!"
This half-truth, half-false, retreat-to-advance discourse is what Chen Yuanwu has heard since he was a child.
The point is, this letter reminded him that his girl hasn't replied to him yet!
Although they had been separated for more than a month, he felt as if it was just yesterday.
Suddenly, Chen Yuanwu regretted why he gave Jiang Jun a year to think about it!
My father is right, speed is of the essence in war!
For this reason, Chen Yuanwu decided to listen to his father's advice.
Ge Zhiming, who worked in the same office with him, started at the grassroots level, transitioning from a reserve soldier to a volunteer soldier. After being promoted to officer, he was transferred to the Equipment Department as an officer. He was very envious of these second-generation Reds: "Xiao Chen, the exam is in a few days. How many days of leave do you plan to take?"
Chen Yuanwu: "Four days! Two days for the exam, and two days for the trip. What's the matter?"
Ge Zhiming nodded: "Hey, we both have good things happening. I won't hide it from you. I plan to go home and get married, and then bring my partner to join the army. You will pass the imperial examination, and I will have my wedding night. Haha, both are happy events."
Chen Yuanwu smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations! I didn't hear you say that it was pretty fast."
Ge Zhiming sighed, "How can it be fast? My partner has been waiting for me for five years. I finally got promoted to an officer and can join the army. I have already written the report. I will take a leave when you come back."
Only cadres are entitled to home leave, and only those who reach a certain rank can bring their spouses and children with them to the army.
Chen Yuanwu made a few pleasantries: "Five years? Then your partner is really good."
Ge Zhiming said proudly, "She's attracted to me and won't marry anyone else! Hey, Xiao Chen, I see you're not young anymore, are you dating?"
His girlfriend from his hometown has two younger sisters who are also very pretty. His future mother-in-law has mentioned them to him and asked him to keep an eye on them.
Chen Yuanwu's smile was unfamiliar: "I'm only twenty, and I don't have any plans for this yet. I'll see in a few years."
Ge Zhiming laughed and said, "Twenty is not young anymore. I was twenty when I went home to visit my family. I fell in love with my girlfriend and immediately decided to get married. If you wait any longer, all the good girls will be taken by others!"
They are all men, and if they show this kind of rejection smile, it means they have someone they like.
Yes, for these children with good conditions, the candidates they choose are naturally not only good-looking, but also have to have a good family background.
In order to ease the awkwardness he had caused, Ge Zhiming smiled and said, "Let me tell you, my girlfriend is several years younger than me. She fell in love with me when she was sixteen. In the past few years, people her age already have two children. I originally wanted to go study for a year, but her sister is also old enough to start dating. Alas, I have no choice but to get married this year."
If you lack academic qualifications, your qualifications will be far behind, and the speed of promotion will also be much slower.
Ge Zhiming's words inadvertently touched Chen Yuanwu again.
Thinking of Jiang Yun, no one in the division headquarters knew where they went for training, and only said it was a military secret.
In a situation like this, it will take at least half a year or a year before we can get any news.
Chen Yuanwu smiled and said, "Then I'll go ask for leave from the commander first and talk to him later!"
Lieutenant Commander Liu Yongzhi was Chen Zhong's old superior and was very optimistic about Chen Yuanwu. When he saw Chen Yuanwu bring in the report, he signed it without saying a word and said, "I'll give you one more day off. Go back and see Commander Chen and give him my regards."
Chen Yuanwu was a little surprised, but then he understood. Perhaps his mother had asked the Chief of Staff to intercede without telling his father. "Chief of Staff Liu, I don't need to go home. Secretary Ge is still waiting for his leave."
Liu Yongzhi's eyes were blazing and meaningful: "You go on your way and don't affect him. Go back and do what you need to do. I heard that Commander Chen is out, and your task is not easy!"
The families of these people are similar. When they were young, they supported their husbands' careers wholeheartedly. When they reached middle age, their thinking took a big turn. They all began to protect their children, reluctant to give up anything, and wanted to hold them in their hands and tie them to their belts.
I can’t say it yet. If I do, I’ll get sick and faint at any time. Alas.
In fact, at that time, many people did not know that there was a symptom called menopause in women, and they all thought it was just pretentiousness after living conditions improved.
Chen Yuanwu saluted and said, "Yes, please rest assured, Chief of Staff!" He left the chief's office and went to the telephone room to call home.
As expected, Ye Qingyin was already "seriously ill and bedridden", so he asked him to go back to see her for the last time.
