Chapter 458 I Want to Retire
Lu Yiyi took the star and agreed to his proposal.
"You don't even have a diamond ring. How shabby."
"Yes, yes, I'll go buy it now."
Ouyang Jiashu foolishly rushed out, then turned back halfway, trying to please Lu Yiyi with a licking smile.
"Wife, I'm a new recruit now and can't go out. It will take another half a month before I can take leave."
Lu Yiyi found it difficult to adapt to the title of wife for a while.
"Ouyang Jiashu, we are not married yet, what do you call your wife?"
"I don't care, I'll just scream. In my heart, you are already my wife for life, wife, wife, wife!"
After seeing Lin Youqian's way of pursuing his wife, these people all followed his example. Only by giving up face and being shameless can you win your wife.
After calling his wife, Ouyang Jiashu thought of his son again.
"Honey, can you show me some more photos and videos of the baby? Let me cherish them."
Ouyang Jiashu saw his son’s cute chubby appearance, like a silly Husky, and laughed non-stop.
“My son is so handsome!”
“My son is so cute!”
“My son is so smart!”
"Son, come on, call daddy! Give daddy a kiss, huh!"
…
Ouyang Jiashu was like a fool, talking to himself in front of the screen, kissing and licking it, treating the phone as his own son.
Ouyang Jiashu, overflowing with fatherly love, was not only stupid but also crazy.
He rashly ran to the regiment commander's office, crying and shouting that he wanted to be discharged from the army.
"Retire? Ouyang Jiashu, did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? Do you think this army is a market where you can come and go as you please?"
Three months into his military service, he never felt the hardships or fatigue of the army. Now that he couldn't contact his wife and couldn't see his son, he really couldn't bear it any longer.
"Captain, please, have mercy on me and let me retire. Even if you have to pay three or thirty times the penalty, as long as I can terminate my contract, I'm willing to pay it."
"I have a son now, and I want to go see him and be with him. Captain, please approve it!"
Director Xie of the art troupe picked up the big suona on the instrument stand and wanted to blow him to death.
"Asshole, do you think the military camp is the entertainment industry and you can just pay some money to terminate the contract?"
"This is the military. Even if you're injured, disabled, or useless, you have to stay here for the full term before you can leave. Otherwise, you'll be a deserter."
"What promises did you make when you asked me to recruit you? Now it's been less than three months and you want to quit?"
"Believe it or not, I'll kill you!"
Ouyang Jiashu wanted to cry but had no tears!
God knows, it’s hard to join the army, and it’s even harder to get out.
The army has strict rules and the training is difficult. Once you get in, you can never get out.
Not only are we not allowed to use our cell phones, see our relatives, or take any holidays. How can we live like this?
In the past, Yiyi did not agree to the proposal. She did not know that she had a son outside and thought she could still get through it.
Now, not only does he have to endure intense physical training every day, but he also feels bitter when he thinks about the long separation he'll have to endure since his wife agreed to his proposal. He also feels bitter when he thinks about his one-year-old son, whom he hasn't even seen.
These days are more unbearable than eating donkey-hide gelatin and more bitter than eating coptis chinensis.
The training of the new recruit company is so arduous. Not only the art soldiers, but even officers who graduated from military academies have to go through the hardships of the new enlistment period.
Even Lin Youqian, the incredibly capable and irritable guy, couldn't be released when he threw a tantrum. Not to mention a small-time arts soldier like Ouyang Jiashu.
"Captain, if you won't let me retire, can you return my phone to me? And give me two days off every week, okay? I really want to see my son."
"You wish!" Captain Xie refused mercilessly.
"Once you join the army, you must abide by the rules and discipline. Who doesn't miss home? Who doesn't have a lover? Who doesn't have a son outside?"
Captain Xie opened his mouth and started to curse. But after he finished cursing, he felt something was wrong.
"What? Son? Where did you get your son?"
Ouyang Jiashu pointed at Lu Yiyi outside the window. "Look, my wife gave birth to me."
Captain Xie was even more shocked.
"Wife? Where did you get a wife? Didn't you say you were unmarried when you joined the army? When did you get married? Or did you secretly marry and join the army?"
"I'm telling you, whether it's secretly marrying to enlist, or marrying without reporting, it's a serious violation of discipline and will be punished."
Ouyang Jiashu explained.
"No, no, no, I'm not secretly married, nor am I getting married secretly. But my wife has just agreed to my proposal. I'm going to file a report now, and as soon as you approve it, I'll get the marriage certificate with my wife right away."
"Oh, so that's what happened!"
Captain Xie asked again, "What about the son?"
This, just talking about it brings tears to my eyes. Ouyang Jiashu's eyes were already red before he even opened his mouth.
"Last year, my wife and I broke up. I didn't know she was pregnant. Then, she gave birth to a son for me, living alone abroad."
"I haven't seen my child yet."
"Captain, please, please understand my feelings as a new father and grant me a few days off so I can go see my son, okay?"
"Just one look, one look will satisfy me. After seeing it, I promise to come back and serve obediently. I will never run away and become a deserter."
This situation is indeed somewhat special. If we follow the rules and regulations strictly, it would seem inhumane.
The art troupe wasn't as strict as the combat troops. In special circumstances, they could make special arrangements and grant him a few days off. As long as it didn't interfere with the Mid-Autumn Festival performance, it was fine.
"For the sake of Major General Lin's wife, I'll give you three days off. However, you can't go abroad. We can only meet in China. Do you understand?"
"Understood, understood. Thank you, Captain."
Ouyang Jiashu came out with red eyes and pleaded with Lu Yiyi pitifully.
"Wife, the regiment commander said that I can't retire before the deadline. I can't take care of you and your daughter full-time for the time being."
"But he gave me three days off. Can you bring the baby back home so I can see him?"
"Honey, please. Please?"
At this moment, Ouyang Jiashu's eyes were filled with tears, like a piece of broken ice, which made people feel distressed when they saw it.
It’s not that Lu Yiyi doesn’t want to, but she is afraid that the baby won’t be able to adapt to the tossing and turning.
"The baby is so young, I don't know if he can take a plane. Besides, Shao Chi has always been taken care of by my mother, so I have to ask her first."
Ouyang Jiashu directly asked Lu Yiyi for her cell phone.
"Give me mom's number and I'll talk to her."
As soon as the call was connected, Ouyang Jiashu called out "Mom", which frightened Mother Lu.
"Who are you? Isn't this my daughter's phone? How did it become a man's?"
Ouyang Jiashu made a basket of guarantees at an extremely fast speed, just like he was reciting a text.
"Hello, Mom. I'm Ouyang Jiashu, Yiyi's ex-boyfriend, future husband, and the biological father of Lu Shaochi's baby."
"I'm sorry to bother you, but I have something very important to tell you. Please give me five minutes to finish."
