Xu Lei showed his brother-in-law around and told him what they did, where they could go and where they couldn't go.
"Brother-in-law, I've taken note of everything." Jiang Tao's eyes were full of excitement.
Xu Lei was naturally happy to see that his brother-in-law liked this place so much.
"Come on, I'll take you over there to have a look." Xu Lei took his brother-in-law to see how the troops were trained.
Seeing the soldiers training, Jiang Tao followed suit, and Xu Lei patiently corrected his mistakes.
"Brother-in-law, how am I doing?" Jiang Tao was a well-known person in his hometown, but when he came here, he was like a small fish entering the ocean, everything was new to him.
"That's right. If you're willing, you can do morning exercises with me in the future to exercise." If my brother-in-law really likes it, he can consider joining the army in the future.
"Brother-in-law, I do!"
Several battalion commanders saw Xu Lei talking and laughing with a boy, and came over to take a look.
"Captain Xu, is there anyone from home?"
"This is my brother-in-law. He came with my mother-in-law to take care of my wife."
"Xiao Tao, these are all my brother-in-law's colleagues. This is Captain Lu, this is Captain Zhang, and this is..." Xu Lei introduced the newcomers to Jiang Tao.
"Hello, battalion commanders."
"Hello little one, you really look a bit like your sister."
"I have two sons who are about the same age as you. You can go play with them." Captain Zhang looked at his brother-in-law Xu Lei. He was not much older than his two sons, so they could play together.
"I know. My third sister told me. When my mother and I came over, my sister-in-law was chatting with my sister."
Jiang Tao was smart and guessed immediately that this Captain Zhang was the man of the Zhang family's sister-in-law who was chatting with his sister.
"Hey, this kid is quite smart, Xu Lei, your brother-in-law is really amazing!"
Battalion Commander Zhang rubbed Jiang Tao's head.
"This kid likes the army. He wants to do morning exercises with me." Xu Lei was also happy because his brother-in-law made him proud.
"Okay, it's a good material."
"Come on, let the uncles take you inside to have a look." Battalion Commander Zhang smiled maliciously.
"What uncles? There are no uncles, Xiao Tao. Just call them brothers." The brother-in-law called them uncles. Wasn't he a generation younger than them for nothing?
"Hahaha, I'm not wrong. Those of us who are older are uncles, aren't we? My son is almost the same age as Xiao Tao, so what else should I call him if not uncle?"
Except for Xu Lei, Lu Hongming and Wang Bin who are in their twenties but not yet thirty, the other battalion commanders are in their thirties or approaching forty, and their children are seven or eight years old, or in their teens.
"Hmph, don't even think about taking advantage of me!"
"Let's talk about our own things. Lu Hongming, you tell me, do you think Xiao Tao should call us uncle?" Zhang Junfeng looked at Lu Hongming.
Lu Hongming hugged Jiang Tao and walked forward, "Brother Lu, let me tell you, you don't have to pay attention to that old man just now. If you have any problems in the future and can't find your brother-in-law, just look for Brother Lu."
"Hey...you...I'm talking about you..." Zhang Junfeng pointed at Lu Hongming.
"Hahaha……"
"You're still asking Lao Lu, he and Xu Lei are on the same page."
Jiang Tao was taken around the army by everyone and gained a deeper understanding of the people in the army.
Jiang Tao and his brother-in-law were chattering all the way.
When everyone saw Xu Lei leading a boy, they all asked curiously who this boy was.
Xu Lei introduced them one by one, saying that this was his brother-in-law, who was taking care of his wife together with his mother-in-law.
As a result, everyone in the entire family compound knew that Xu Lei's brother-in-law had arrived.
"Look, this is really different. My brother-in-law is here, and he's like bringing his son. I'm afraid he wouldn't be so enthusiastic even towards his own brother."
"Didn't you see how he treats his wife? How could he be bad to his brother-in-law?"
"But her mother-in-law is the same. Why is she bringing a half-grown child with her? How much food is wasted?"
"Hey, why do you care about that? Captain Xu doesn't care either."
When Jiang Mu and Jiang Tao arrived, many people were whispering behind their backs.
But Xu Lei didn't care. He was happy to stay with his mother-in-law and brother-in-law for a while longer.
This way the daughter-in-law will have someone to accompany her.
He was so grateful to his mother-in-law for coming to take care of his wife that how could he be unhappy?
As for my brother-in-law coming over, it means I have an extra helper. A boy of his age, at least he can run errands. If there is something at home, I can call him. It’s such a good thing.
He was very worried about his daughter-in-law because her pregnancy was getting worse and worse. Now that his mother-in-law and brother-in-law are here, he can finally rest assured.
"Mom, Third Sister, I'm back!" Jiang Tao returned home happily and couldn't wait to share everything he saw with them.
Xu Lei only went back after seeing his brother-in-law enter the yard. It was not time yet and he had to continue training.
"Mom, let me tell you, my brother-in-law took me there..." Jiang Tao followed Jiang's mother like a little tail, chattering non-stop.
Mother Jiang was making hand-rolled noodles in the kitchen, listening to her little son chattering with a smile, without delaying her own work at all.
"Mom, I'm thirsty." Jiang Tao finally finished speaking and found that he was thirsty.
"Pour the water yourself."
Mother Jiang had no time to answer her youngest son.
"Little brother, come here to my third sister." Jiang Yuzhu made malted milk for Jiang Tao to drink.
"Third sister, this is malted milk!" Jiang Tao saw the brown-red liquid in the cup at a glance.
"Drink it. These two cans will be placed in your room with Mom. There's also a kettle and cups in that room. You can drink it whenever you want."
