Chapter 11: College entrance banquet, welcome guests and friends!

A plate of hibiscus cake and a piece of braised fish, plus a plate of farm stir-fries and a tomato and egg soup.

This is lunch at Chen Jun’s house.

In a big city, these meals would not be considered sumptuous, but by the standards of home-cooked meals in a small village, this is a rare delicacy.

On weekdays, except during the Chinese New Year and holidays, it is naturally rare to have such exquisite three dishes and one soup on the dinner table. Today, the reason is naturally that he was admitted to the military academy. To celebrate, his father ran on the street to buy vegetables, and his mother got into the kitchen to tinker for a long time. Just made it.

As for Lin Xiaodong, he had already jumped up. The guy bought a new mobile phone, the kind without buttons. He couldn't find a sense of presence in Chen Jun, so he would probably look for the next target.

Father Chen Baishui put a piece of fish meat into Chen Jun's bowl. To this day, he still feels that his son's admission to the military academy was a bit too sudden.

Suddenly, he had been wandering around the market for more than half an hour, and the unreal energy had not dissipated.

"Xiaojun, I'm very happy that you were admitted to the military school, but the military school is hard. Soldiers are a collective and self-disciplined group, and the management will be stricter than that of a sports school."

"When you get there, you have to be obedient. Whatever the instructor says will be followed. We can't just follow our temper in the army and don't get into trouble easily. There are only so many suggestions I can give you. You have had good ideas since you were a child. I think you should be able to apply for the military academy. Understand something.”

Chen Jun chewed the fish meat, nodded constantly, and listened carefully to his father's teachings.

The mother, Li Xiufen, stared at the child and was silent for a long time. She had never read any books and her knowledge was very limited.

Ke'er's mother was worried after traveling thousands of miles, not to mention that she had just learned about the situation of some troops through Chen Baishui's narration, which was exactly the same as the training requirements of the sports school.

It was common for those who were disobedient or had poor grades to be beaten. This kind of management style made her worried. After a long while, she hesitated and said: "Xiaojun, you see your grades are not bad. Otherwise, let's repeat the studies. Next year let’s get admitted to a serious and prestigious university.”

"Military school is really hard."

Suddenly hearing their mother say this, Chen Jun and Chen Baishui were startled and looked at her in surprise.

Li Xiufen also felt a little uncomfortable, so she put down her chopsticks and said, "I know the military school is good, but if my son becomes a soldier, he won't be able to go home freely in the future. The troops are rushing to the front for earthquake relief, and there is a possibility that Fighting is so dangerous."

As she said that, Li Xiufen's eyes turned red.

Women are emotional, especially when they think of certain scenes of life and death, and it is difficult to control their emotions.

What's more, the children are all pieces of flesh that fell from the mother's body, how could she be willing to let Chen Jun suffer.

Seeing his mother's worry, Chen Jun suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, and hurriedly said to comfort her: "Mom, although the military academy is hard, it is also the most training place."

"I've grown up, and I can definitely take care of myself."

"That is, if you are admitted to the military academy and do not report it, even if it is not as serious as refusing military service, your refusal to enter the school will be recorded. It will be difficult for Xiaojun to find a job in the future."

"Boys should be good role models. It's good to go to military school."

Chen Baishui stood firmly on a united front with his son.

Seeing what the two men said, Li Xiufen stopped insisting and sighed deeply, saying: "Okay, okay, okay, Xiaojun suddenly wants to join the army, and I can't bear to do it."

"Mom, I'm not leaving right away. I still have nearly a month to prepare. There are a lot of procedures to go through before signing up. It's not that fast."

"Besides, the military academy is also a school. It has holidays, just like ordinary universities."

After repeated consolation, Li Xiufen felt better.

After dinner, Chen Jun took the initiative to clear away the dishes and help his parents with the housework.

The next two or three days were the same as before.

In his free time, Chen Jun works out and gets up early in the morning for a run.

Although there is a saying that good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, the news that the second eldest child of the Chen family was admitted to the military academy and could become an officer after graduation spread in the village.

Everyone in the village, young and old, would praise them. It was rare in this era for a college student to come out of the village. Many children dropped out of school before finishing middle school and high school to work.

Comparing the two, Chen Jun is too powerful. In the past few days, a few of his high school classmates came over to play with him, some just to get close to him, and some just to see what the military academy admission notice looked like.

In this country, soldiers are often mysterious, not to mention that Chen Jun will become an officer after graduation. To many classmates and people in the same village, this is more than just a promise.

Privately, there is talk that the Chen family is going to have a dragon. This is the result of their ancestors' great fortune.

When some students learned that the Army Frontier College had lowered its admission standards due to enrollment expansion this year, they had no choice but to beat their chests and stamp their feet.

The best time to fill out the application form has passed. Even if you repeat your studies for a year, it will be of no use. Military academies often only recruit fresh graduates, not repeat students.

What's more, there may be more people applying to this military academy tomorrow, so it will naturally be difficult to get admitted.

If you miss it, you will never have another chance.

The time soon came to July 22nd.

Today is the day when Chen Baishui holds a banquet for his son to enter college.

My father got busy early in the morning. He stood in the yard with his left hand on his waist and a flip phone in his right hand. He made calls one after another. His hearty voice could be heard for half the street.

Invite friends and invite people to attend, and remind everyone that if they refuse to accept gifts, just come with your mouth.

In Chen Baishui's words, his son Han Chuang studied hard for twelve years and was finally admitted to the military academy. He just wanted to be happy. If he could afford it, he could afford it.

No one is allowed to give gifts.

Seeing that Chen Jun couldn't stop it, he just let his father do whatever he wanted.

The banquet was held at the Huifeng Restaurant in the town. At noon, Chen Jun was pulled by his parents to stand at the door of the restaurant to greet the guests.

"Hey, Xiaojun has been admitted to the military academy. He's really awesome. Here, I'll give you a red envelope to buy some daily necessities for the summer vacation, and buy some more food to make your body stronger."

"Thank you, cousin!!" Chen Jun responded obediently, but he didn't reach out to take the red envelope. He was so old, standing there at 1.79 meters tall, a head taller than his cousin, and he was really embarrassed to accept it.

"Take it, this is the sponsorship given to you by your cousin, not a gift."

"Let's go, let's go into the house. We're all here to welcome you. Come on, Xiaojun, I'll give you a red envelope. I'll give you a reward."

"Thank you, auntie."

At the appointed meal, relatives came over one after another, saying that they would not accept gifts, but the cousin and aunt who loved Chen Jun tried their best to stuff red envelopes.

Chen Baishui was helpless. He spoke righteously on the phone, but his aunt gave the child a red envelope. What could he say?

I had to take people in again and again to find seats.

The cousin and aunt in front of them had just entered. Soon, another black Santana car came to the door of the restaurant.

The vehicle stopped, and a middle-aged man got out from above. He was wearing a gray shirt. His eyebrows were somewhat similar to Chen Baishui's, but he looked much more serious. He also brought a fashionably dressed middle-aged woman with him.

Behind him were a man and a woman.

When Chen Jun saw the person coming, the smile he showed just now quickly faded a little.

The middle-aged man was none other than his uncle Chen Kaijiang, the dean of a high school in Rong'an County.

My aunt and a pair of children came with me.

Chen Jun has neither a bad feeling nor a good impression of this family.

If you smile involuntarily, you will naturally not be so bright.
