Chapter 4: Let’s just say we can’t escape it!
Being a little frightened by his father's gaze, Chen Jun swallowed. There was nothing wrong with what he just said.
"Dad, it's quite hot in the courtyard. Can we talk to my brother about going into the house?"
The clever Chen Yingying seemed to realize that something was not right in the atmosphere, and stretched out her hand to drag Chen Baishui towards the house. As he walked in, he tugged on Chen Jun's sleeve.
Remind him not to make his father angry.
Chen Baishui said nothing, nodded silently, holding the watermelon in his hand, and strode towards the house.
He is not old-fashioned, nor does he insist that his son get into a good university. When he was young, Chen Baishui was not good at studying, so he chose to be an athlete.
But it was youth. When I got older, I couldn't compete with young men, and because I had a family, I had no choice but to retire and go to a sports school to apply for a job as a coach.
Among the Chen family’s generation, the eldest brother Chen Kaijiang, Chen Jun’s uncle, was very good at reading when he was young. Now he is the dean of the county’s No. 1 high school. Both of his sons and daughters are smart and very good at reading.
All of them have been admitted to prestigious universities. They can stay in big cities and get good jobs in the future.
The third child, Chen Jun's uncle Chen Futong, has been clever since he was little, can tinker with gadgets, and has a business acumen.
In the past few years, I followed others to do business, and now it is also booming. The whole family has moved to the city, and the children have been sent to study abroad.
So, he sincerely hopes that his son will be no worse than others.
If he didn’t have the talent for learning, he wouldn’t force his son to learn. A healthy person would be healthy if he didn’t learn badly.
It’s just that Chen Jun’s grades are not bad. If he only studies an ordinary two books, if he graduates and enters the society in the future, he will eventually suffer some disadvantages. Taking advantage of his young age, it is the time to study, and he will repeat it for a year and study hard. , going to a famous university can pave the way for the future.
But when did he come up with the idea of becoming a soldier?
Chen Baishui walked into the living room doubtfully, looked back at his son who was following him while nibbling watermelon, and pointed to the bench next to him with a serious expression.
“Sit down.”
“Why do you think of filling in your application for a military academy?”
“It’s not that I don’t support you becoming a soldier, but you have to know when The military is very hard, and the admission score for military schools is also high. With your score, there is no chance.”
"I have no objection to wanting to be a soldier, but I support enrolling in a military academy, so it is necessary to repeat the studies."
The father communicated with sincerity. After all, studying is not something that is forced. He hopes that his son can figure it out on his own. Volunteer to repeat the course.
Of course Chen Jun understands his father's painstaking efforts, and he also knows that this is all for his own sake, but the fact is that according to his understanding, it is really a sure thing that he will go to the military academy.
Why repeat reading?
After receiving the admission notice, his parents ran all over the place to go through the re-study procedures for him, but it was all in vain.
He didn't want his parents to worry about this matter in vain.
"Dad, just believe me. If I say it can be done, it will be done. I have checked some information on the Internet and I can be admitted to the military academy."
"I "Bao."
Um.
Chen Jun looked at his father's eyes and wanted to communicate seriously.
But mid-sentence, the voice stopped abruptly.
Because he found that his father seemed to have lost his patience, and the muscles on both sides of his cheeks were shaking slightly, which was a sign of anger.
My father used to be an athlete, but now he is a coach at a sports school. He is usually very reasonable, but this does not mean that he has no temper.
As the head of a family, it is normal for her to show off her authority from time to time. Chen Yingying realized that something was not right, so she ran out of the room with her little head in her arms to avoid harming Chiyu. Her desire to survive was quite strong.
Chen Jun also had the urge to get up and run, but obviously, he couldn't run now.
He had no choice but to laugh dryly and said: "Dad, I didn't say I can't repeat my studies. I can repeat my studies. What I mean is that we talk about our aspirations. I want to apply for the military academy."
"Then it's even more important to repeat my studies." Chen Baishui made a final decision, and there was no doubt in his words. "Okay, re-study, I agree, but dad, I have already signed up for my wish, and the school will definitely send me a notification by then. Please help me get back to work. Don't give gifts yet, otherwise it will all be in vain. "
Chen Jun hurriedly confessed again, stood up and ran to his west room. Seeing that his father was angry, wouldn't he be a fool if he didn't run?
As for the matter of volunteering, he didn't bother to explain.
It would be much better to wait and verify it with the facts than to talk nonsense here.
Chen Baishui saw a pair of children running away with a smile on his face.
"This silly boy has quite high ambitions, but military school is also a good choice."
Muttering a few words to himself, Chen Baishui took out his cell phone and prepared to give it to Chen Jun's uncle Chen Kaijiang. Make a phone call to finalize the matter of my son’s return to school.
Let his uncle pay more attention to this matter. He cannot let his son carelessly do this.
Standing up and walking to the door of the west room, Chen Baishui felt relieved when he heard that there was no movement inside. He just pretended to be angry on purpose, otherwise this kid would be nagging him to no end.
Westinghouse.
After Chen Jun ran into the room, he sat down directly on the mat bed and turned on the old-style electric fan on the bedside.
The buzzing sound of the motor, coupled with the harsh sunshine outside the window, directly filled the summer atmosphere.
The village is not as lively as the army base. He, a student, cannot afford 4S now, and there is no entertainment such as short videos, games, and live broadcasts to pass the time.
But here, he can feel a kind of comfort from the inside out, which is very natural and comfortable.
This is an experience that smartphones cannot bring.
The furnishings in the room were simple, and there was really nothing to do. Chen Jun stood up and pulled out an extracurricular reading "Story Club" from the pile of books in the corner. These were old books collected in junior high school.
He basically couldn't stand the review materials in high school. He didn't have the heart to read the textbooks, so he just wanted to use "Story Club" to pass the leisure time.
Experience the style of a literary and artistic youth again.
He returned to the creaking wooden bed, leaned against the wall, blew on the fan, and was about to review old books.
"Didi!! Didi!!" A sound similar to a BB paging came from the Dell computer on the old wooden desk.
This is... Qiaoqiao?
Chen Jun put down the book in his hand in surprise. Ever since he joined the army in his previous life, he had never logged into QQ.
Later, when WeChat came out, he even forgot his account and password. He couldn’t even remember how long it had been since he heard the familiar “KouKou” notification sound.
Things with sounds are always more attractive than books with words. He put down the story session that he had not yet opened, got out of bed, and sat back at the desk.
Shake the mouse with your right hand, the computer screen lights up, and you can see the small icon jumping in the lower right corner at a glance.
It had been so long that he had forgotten which friend the bouncing icon belonged to, so he clicked on it.
Looking closely, the top of the dialog box reads: Class 1, Grade 3, Rong'an High School.
This is a class group.
The person who broke the news was Cao Shuwang, Chen Jun's high school teacher.
"Students, you have to start filling in your application today. You can communicate with each other in the group. I have compiled the college entrance examination results of everyone in our class into a form and posted it in the group."
"All students should open it and compare their scores. Filling in the application form is a big deal, everyone. If you have a computer, you can fill it out by yourself. If you don’t have one, you can go to the Internet cafe or come to the school office to find me.”
“Teacher here wishes all students to be admitted to the university of their choice!”
The head teacher's words were like dropping a bombshell on the calm lake.
The originally peaceful class group was visibly boiling.
