Chapter 14 Departure to Xijing
More than ten days passed by in a hurry.

Since there was a very unpleasant quarrel with the uncle's family on the day of the college entrance banquet, the news could not be suppressed at all and had already spread in the village.

The eldest son of the Chen family is well known in the village. For his nephew's college entrance banquet, the four members of his family just went there to eat and drink for free, and even made use of the fact that he was the happiest to talk in frustration.

As a result, he was scolded by his nephew and it became a joke.

Although the Chen Jun family is not affected by gossip and gossip, they all feel that Chen Kaijiang has gone too far, but in the final analysis, this is still a scandal of the Chen family.

No matter where you mention it, it won't be glorious.

As a result, during this period, except for being on duty at the sports school, Chen Baishui stayed at home the rest of the time. He often smoked alone and sat in front of the hall without saying a word.

Chen Jun saw all these situations in his eyes. In his previous life, he was young and chose to repeat his studies. He only knew that he did not have a good relationship with his uncle's family. Even if he met his uncle at school, he would usually not say hello.

I didn't understand it at the time, but after this incident, I finally understood that any bad relationship was all nonsense. It was just because my father was a coach in a sports school, not a job within the system, so I looked down on him.

Why didn't he dare to point fingers and make comments at his third uncle's house?

Chen Jun has long passed the age of youthful impulsiveness, but every time he thinks of this matter, there will be a surge of anger in his chest that is difficult to suppress.

He became even more determined that in this life, he must live a good life, not for others, even if it is for his father to hold his head up in front of others, he must live a more promising life than in his previous life.

This situation lasted until the day before Chen Jun's departure before it was completely relieved.

My son is going to a military academy. The headquarters of the Army Border Defense Academy is located in Xijing, which is more than 1,500 kilometers away from Liuzhou. It jumps from the south to the north of the motherland.

As the saying goes, the mother is worried when her son travels a thousand miles. How can the family feel relieved when Chen Jun has to travel three thousand miles?

Tomorrow is August 8th. Chen Jun has to leave a day early and take a train for a day and night to get to Xijing.

In the back room, Li Xiufen has been busy since eating in the morning, packing up Chen Jun's clothes and ironing them one by one with an electric iron.

He folded it and stuffed it into the suitcase. The large black suitcase on the ground was 40 inches tall. It was bought by his father, Chen Baishui, in the town for his son to study far away.

In this era, the mainstream tool for traveling is still a urea bag, which can stuff anything into it. Being able to buy him such a large suitcase shows how much the father supports his son.

Chen Jun reluctantly held the admission guide and stood aside to protest weakly.

"Mom, you really don't need to bring so many things. Look at the admission guide. It's clearly written. The military academy provides all daily necessities, including underwear. Just give me a few changes of casual clothes."

"Entering a military academy is really different from an ordinary university. In order to cultivate students' sense of collectiveness and self-discipline, all daily necessities are distributed uniformly. Even shampoo will be confiscated."

"mom"

"You kid, what do you know?" Li Xiufen didn't listen to what Chen Jun said at all and just kept loading things in her suitcase.

At the same time, he did not forget to turn around and scold: "When you go out, nowhere is as convenient as home. Bring more, so you won't suffer when you need it urgently. I have traveled far and know what it's like."

"When you are outside, it is not as good as at home. You must learn to take care of yourself. You must eat three meals a day. Remember to drink more water when it is hot and call home when you have time."

"Tell your family what you need, and I'll ask your dad to send it over."

"Dad" Chen Jun had no choice but to resist his mother, so he had to turn to look at his father at the door.

He is already a veteran. There is really no difference between the military academy and the army when he first entered. This large bag of clothes has no other use except to increase the burden on the way and throw it away to collect dust.

"Don't look at me. I think your mother is right. You won't suffer any consequences if you bring more. Here, bring these oranges, the bagged duck, and the raisins."

It was okay that Chen Jun didn't ask for help. When he asked for help, Chen Baishui not only refused to help, but also stuffed all the snacks left for his sister at home into his bag.

Chen Yingying, who was watching the fun with wide eyes, felt aggrieved. All the inventory she had for most of the summer vacation was gone. Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Chen Jun stopped trying to persuade her. He took his sister outside and whispered a few words to her. Yingying, whose face was full of grievance just now, immediately turned gloomy.

I clapped my little hands and ran out to play.

There was no way, his parents felt that he was not used to traveling far away, so it would be better to bring more luggage. Since they couldn't say it, they could only take it out quietly at night.

It's impossible for him to really take a bunch of clothes and local goods to report.

This is what I told my sister just now. I agreed that the good things would be put in the cupboard and she would just take them out to eat tomorrow.

In order to cultivate the obedience of newcomers, the army will confiscate even shampoo if you bring it over. The army does not provide daily chemicals, but veterans must take you to buy them.

This includes folding quilts, cleaning housekeeping, and banning smoking and drinking during the period of recruitment. No matter how many explanations there are, I can summarize it in one sentence: to cultivate the collective self-discipline and obedience consciousness of recruits.

He has led soldiers for several years and has rich experience.

That was it when I first went there, I had no choice.

If he had followed his parents' rules, he might not even be able to laugh at the senior students if he brought these things over.

Good times are always short-lived, and the day to set off soon comes.

Chen Jun went to the military academy to report, without making any fanfare or telling too many people. He just told a few close friends.

And he declined the farewell invitation from his friends.

In the early morning of August 8th, shortly after dawn, Chen Jun had breakfast, carried a schoolbag with his documents in it, carried a suitcase with a few clothes and local specialties, and was ready to set off.

Their home is about seven kilometers away from Rong'an County, and even closer to the town. They are almost right next to each other, just one mile away from the village.

Father Chen Baishui, mother Li Xiufen, and sister Chen Yingying walked to see Chen Jun arrive in the town, and the shuttle bus slowly stopped at the intersection.

When the car door opened, Chen Jun turned his head and glanced with some reluctance, saying: "Dad, Mom, I'm leaving, you go back."

"I'll call you when I get to school."

"Hey, go ahead." The father's eyes were full of encouragement. Even though he was reluctant to leave, he still pretended to be free and easy and waved his son to leave.

The child is old and cannot be kept. He hopes that Chen Jun can make a career in the army.

The mother is mostly tender, with eyes full of distress and reluctance.

He opened his mouth and warned: "Xiaojun, remember to take care of yourself when you get there. Call home when you have time. Put the money in your pocket and watch it."

"Be obedient in school and don't cause trouble. Just do what the instructor tells you when you get there. Don't be so stubborn, you know? If you're not used to it, tell your family."

"Oh, please stop saying a few words, the bus is still waiting." Chen Baishui interrupted Li Xiufen's nagging and waved decisively.

"Go on, Xiaojun, don't worry about home, just study hard."

"Okay dad, I'm leaving then." Chen Jun nodded heavily, turned around and boarded the shuttle bus.

He has never experienced military school, but it doesn't matter. Chen Jun believes that this will be the perfect beginning for his rebirth.

Xijing, here I come.
