I should report in first.
The phone connected quickly.
"Hello!" ca the familiar voice of my mom, mixed with the sounds of cooking.
"Mom, are you cooking?" Fang Huai couldn’t help but laugh.
"Mmm, did your uncle go to see you?" Mom’s voice sounded a bit downcast.
"Mmm, where’s dad?"
"At the restaurant, wait for for a minute! I’ll go find him!" She said in a fluster as the sounds of the kitchen quieted down.
Fang Huai hurriedly stopped her, "No need, I just want to talk to you for a bit, you can pass the ssage to him! With the military schedule, there’s no ti to wait around!"
"Alright, alright... Is the training tough? I heard from your uncle! You’re in Guiyang! Is it cold there? I’ll send you so clothes!"
"It’s not cold! Tough? Not at all, over here we eat even better than at ho, I’ve gained weight!" Fang Huai said cheerfully.
In his previous life, he always complained to his mom. Now, reborn, he had finally learned to lie.
"And the training? Have the old soldiers beaten you up? I heard from your Uncle Chen that his kid, Chen Jie, didn’t listen in the troops and got beat up a lot! If you’re bullied, you have to tell us at ho!
But try to handle it yourself, and don’t be like you were before when you’ve left ho. Listen to your leaders! Do you hear ?"
Mom fired off a barrage of questions, and Fang Huai wasn’t sure which one to answer first, so he burst out as if he had discovered a new world, excitedly saying,
"Don’t worry! Uncle’s taking care of , who dares to hit ?
The squad leader is really good to ! I’m now the Deputy Squad Leader!
The troops love a troublemaker like , if Chen Jie got beat, it’s because he wasn’t troubleso enough! The military is perfect for , and I plan to make a career out of it in the future!
Eating state-provided als, you don’t have to worry about !
Next year, once I beco an old soldier, I’ll apply to beco an officer, just like Uncle!"
"The military is really... really that good?" Zhang i was befuddled by all the praise.
"Really good, really good! Don’t worry a bit!" Fang Huai said, hands on hips.
"Be safe on police dispatch!" Zhang i once again instructed loudly.
"Relax, Mom, us new recruits just walk around on police dispatch for sentry duty, we don’t go in! Next year, when I beco an officer, I’ll be the one giving orders for dispatch!
Everything’s great, truly!
Okay, that’s it, I won’t say more, our squad leader has been waiting for for half a day already!"
After talking for so long, Fang Huai finally spoke an honest word.
Well, consider it not completely deceiving Mom, just fooling my own conscience.
After hanging up the phone, I passed it to Uncle as if a weight had been lifted from my shoulders.
Uncle is carefree, but Mom worries about the details, as long as she is reassured, all is well.
"You’ve matured, knowing to share the joys and not the sorrows," Uncle complinted, taking the mobile phone.
"She worries too much, it’s a hassle for both you and ," Fang Huai sighed like a little adult.
"Make a na for yourself early, get into the Military Academy, and your Mom can finally be at peace."
Zhang Zhongting said this while patting him and waving the mobile phone in his hand,
"Aren’t you going to call your sweetheart?"
Fang Huai was startled.
Sweetheart...
Who is he supposed to be his sweetheart?
...
Chen Shuang, I’m borrowing your sister again.
"She’s at Sichuan Conservatory of Music, just started her freshman year, probably in class right now. Nevermind," Fang Huai waved it off.
Thinking of Brother Yang, Fang Huai couldn’t help but smile.
With Yang Shaoqing’s looks and personality, he must have lots of admirers at Sichuan Conservatory of Music, right?
I rember seeing her account on "Sing Bar"; she had tens of thousands of fans, and the photo of her in a white dress was beautiful.
I even stealthily clicked to sing a duet with her on "Love in Hiroshima."
Zhang Zhongting seeing Fang Huai’s lovesick silly face, also laughed.
"Chengdu isn’t that far. Invite her over, I’ll pay for the plane ticket."
Fang Huai sneered, "You’ll give leave?"
"In principle, if it’s no more than four hours, I can have your Aunt take her around!"
"Pfft..."
...
Ten minutes later, Fang Huai stood below the New Training Building with two cans of cola and a bag of chips in his hand.
Zhang Zhongting was patting Hao Chengbin on the shoulder.
"Little Hao, I’ve co to understand the situation, don’t worry, do well in training the new recruits, the Special Service Squadron 2 is looking forward to your performance.
Don’t spoil Fang Huai too much, I know him better than you do, he’ll take a mile if you give an inch!"
Fang Huai glared over and put his hands on his hips, "Uncle, familiarity aside, if you talk nonsense, I’ll accuse you of slander! I behave very well in class!"
Zhang Zhongting laughed helplessly and pointed at Fang Huai, "See? You spoil him too much, he’s going to talk to you like that from now on."
Hao Chengbin turned and glared at him resentfully.
How could you talk to your Uncle, my dear Chief, like that?
Fang Huai instantly beca sullen.
Truth be told, Hao Chengbin also felt a whirlwind of emotions today.
The way Fang Huai spoke to Zhang Zhongting today truly opened his eyes.
Before, he really thought Fang Huai was a well-behaved kid at ho!
And although Zhang Zhongting said not to spoil him, his affection for Fang Huai was plainly visible, a stark contrast to the stern Chief image he had imagined.
The na Zhang Zhongting is legendary in the whole corps.
Many of the records set in his youth still make him a figure to look up to, a recipient of First Class rit, who has even t with high-ranking leaders.
Hao Chengbin’s respect for Zhang Zhongting stemd from more than just the stars on his shoulders.
Never did he expect to personally train his nephew.
"Chief! I promise to complete the task!" Hao Chengbin saluted earnestly.
"Good, if you face any difficulties, you can call directly."
Zhang Zhongting returned the salute, removed his wide-brimd hat, and shook hands with Hao Chengbin.
