Enlisting for the second time, starting from the strongest

Chapter 262 Cheng Li’s Home

I want to reach the rank of lieutenant in one year.

Perform at least two second-class merits or one first-class merit within one year.

It would definitely not be possible to complete the mission by staying in the small team, and it would probably take two years at the earliest.

So some special measures must be taken.

Of course, Luo Jianguo was not trying to make things difficult for Wang Chen. As long as he led a detachment of Donghai Feilong to get a ranking in the PLA competition, he would be directly promoted to lieutenant.

This matter is not difficult to say, nor is it easy to say.

It just depends on the training in the next period of time.

Wang Chen obviously drank too much. He leaned on Luo Linlin and said a few words about working hard, and then fell asleep.

Fortunately, there was also the butler, Uncle Ye, who put Wang Chen back in the car.

When Wang Chen woke up the next day, it was already noon.

After a while, an old voice came from inside:

I took a quick shower, ate something and said goodbye to Luo Linlin.

Before returning to the sea training base, Wang Chen still remembered what Yinghuo told him and wanted to visit Cheng Li's mother.

Wang Chen held his sister's face and said with a smile.

The ground was all paved with cement roads. Wang Chen walked on the cement road and came to an old house according to the impression in his memory.

Wang Chen replied loudly.

"Okay, then you have to listen to Aunt Li, I'm leaving."

"Yeah, brother, I understand. I'm a big kid, nothing will happen to me."

He made a fist with his right hand and knocked twice on the door of the old house.

Wang Chen bought some Xingxing's favorite desserts in Magic City, and then returned to Sunan City.

"Auntie, this is me Wang Chen. I am your son Cheng Li's comrade-in-arms. I stopped by to see you."

"Who?"

Wang Chen carried a black backpack, took a taxi, and disappeared in front of the stars.

I stayed with the stars for more than ten days.

"Xingxing, brother will go back tomorrow. If you have anything, remember to tell him at any time, okay?"

Cheng Li's mother was in a rural area in northern Jiangsu. Wang Chen got off the high-speed train and transferred to a car. After a lot of twists and turns, he finally arrived at his destination.

It was evening when they arrived. Wang Chen thought he couldn't meet people empty-handed, so he picked up a bag of rice and a bucket of rapeseed oil from a nearby village shop, and then searched for Qi Chengli's mother's home one by one.

"It would be nice if I really have something to tell you."

Xingxing nodded to show that he understood.

Originally, Luo Linlin wanted to follow Wang Chen to his house because there were stars to play with, but her family refused to let her go, so Luo Linlin could only stay at home.

Cheng Li's mother's village is not big. Most of them are small buildings with yards, and there are also some old abandoned houses.

He knew that Cheng Li's mother's ears were not very good, so he had to shout louder.

"Wang Chen, I remember you."

The door was slowly opened, and an old rural woman who looked to be in her sixties appeared in front of Wang Chen.

Her hair was completely white and sparsely covered her head, adding a sense of vicissitudes of life.

The hands were covered with calluses and wrinkles, and the finger and hand joints were protruding and looked extremely rough.

"Auntie, I just happened to pass by Subei on vacation, so I stopped by to see you."

"Great, I happen to be having dinner, would you like to eat some together?"

"Okay, Auntie, I just haven't had dinner either."

Wang Chen smiled and nodded, then entered the bungalow.

When you enter the bungalow, you will see a simple and shabby place. There is almost no interior decoration in the room. There is only a wooden table placed alone in the center, which is particularly eye-catching.

On the wooden table was a plate of pickles and half-eaten millet porridge.

Cheng Li's mother quickly put away the pickles and millet porridge on the table and said with a smile:

"You wait here, I'll cook something else." "I know you are all grown men, so you need to eat some meat!"

With that said, Cheng Li's mother went to the backyard to catch chickens.

Wang Chen's nose felt a little sour.

Cheng Li had told himself before how his mother had raised him up.

Wang Chen didn't feel much about it before, but now it's really not easy to think about it.

Especially now that Cheng Li had disappeared and rebelled, Wang Chen did not dare to tell the old woman in front of him.

While she was killing the chicken and cooking for him, Wang Chen quietly stuffed the envelope he had prepared in advance into the drawer.

Inside the envelope was Wang Chen's own 10,000 yuan, which was considered a small gift for the old man.

Cheng Li bought a house in the city. He had called his mother many times before to go to the city to enjoy the blessings, but he was rejected every time.

"I have lived here for more than sixty years. My roots are here and I won't move."

The old woman shook her head and said.

There was no other way, Cheng Li had no choice but to give up on his idea.

Wang Chen may not quite understand the reluctance of rural elderly people to leave the countryside.

After working for a whole day, the old man cooked three meat dishes and gave Wang Chen a drink that was usually only given during holidays, and poured it into Wang Chen's bowl.

"Eat, kid."

"Is Cheng Li okay in the army? Why haven't you contacted me for a long time?"

Cheng Li's mother looked at Wang Chen and asked.

His eyes were filled with longing for his son.

"Auntie, Captain Cheng Li has gone on a major mission, so I can't contact you without a mobile phone."

"After all, in our mission, it is true that sometimes we cannot contact the outside world for a year or a half. This is also a very common thing. Didn't Cheng Li tell you?"

Wang Chen found an excuse to deal with it.

"Oh, this kid told me about the mission he was going on."

"But before the Chinese New Year, I just sent a happy New Year message. I was a little panicked, so I asked."

The old man pointed to the position of his heart.

Wang Chen's face was stunned, he nodded and ate with his head buried in his head.

"Eat slowly, kid. The cooking still tastes good, right?"

The old man was very kind and asked with a smile.

"Auntie who has the right taste! I'm from southern Jiangsu, and we all have similar tastes in southern and northern Jiangsu."

Wang Chen also smiled and nodded.

"Auntie, you should eat too, don't just watch me eat."

Wang Chen stood up, picked up the old man's bowl, put a piece of meat in it.

He knew that if this were not the case, the old man would never give himself meat to eat.

"Oh, you kid... just eat more..."

After finishing the meal, Wang Chen rushed to wash the dishes, and then cleaned the house again.

It was cleaned inside and out, and I was planning to leave.

But the old man forced me to stay, saying that there was no car to the city now.

Wang Chen had no choice but to settle down and sleep in Cheng Li's room.

Cheng Li's room has always been empty, and there is no dust at all. It can be seen that this room has been cleaned all the time.

This is probably what a mother always thinks about, so that she will have a place to stay if Cheng Li comes back suddenly.

There are also certificates Cheng Li received from childhood to adulthood on the wall.
