Shen Weixing spoke with a look of frustration on his face.
This is a vicious cycle. Every year, the military schools and local places only select so many good candidates. With layer upon layer of selection, those who are exceptionally talented don’t end up with our Fourth Company!
Every ti we lose a military competition, there’s nothing to complain about.
Xue Hongxing slapped Shen Weixing on the back, "Can’t you say sothing nice? You only talk about depressing stuff. Even if we start behind others, can’t we work hard and catch up? Can’t we make a coback at the end?"
"Yes! Of course we can," Shen Weixing nodded repeatedly, "That’s exactly what we’re working towards!"
"That’s more like it."
Xue Hongxing, now satisfied, walked with Shen Weixing through the gates of the family compound. Inside was a small square with various playground equipnt that many kids loved, like slides and seesaws.
Shen Zihang was playing wildly with a bunch of kids, covered in dust, and he refused to go ho even though it was getting dark.
About a dozen kids were chattering away. A young boy in a blue shirt stood on the curb of the small square, with a straight posture and a refined, handso appearance. Even with a crew cut, it didn’t hide his elegant deanor.
His skin was fair and clean, a stark contrast to the tanned n around.
Even Shen Zihang, a mischievous child, didn’t have skin as nice as his.
Upon seeing Xue Hongxing approach, the young boy quickly walked over, "Uncle!"
"Yi Ming, what are you doing here?" Xue Hongxing asked puzzled.
The young boy pointed helplessly at Zhao Dabao, who was rolling on the slide, "Just keeping him entertained!"
Hearing this, Xue Hongxing twitched at the corners of his mouth, "Why are you wasting ti with that brat? Alright, make sure to report tomorrow. Our Fourth Company is counting on you to do us proud." This ti, he was determined to make a na not just out of impulse.
He ca prepared!
In the past, their Fourth Company couldn’t get any outstanding recruits, but now things were different. His eldest nephew had graduated from military school as an excellent student. With exceptional military skills, he was the pride of their Xue family.
Xue Hongxing had to exert a lot of effort and nerves, wheedling relentlessly in front of his father, brother, and sister-in-law, just to nab his eldest nephew.
Hehehe... This ti, let’s see Fourth Company surprise everyone!
"Reporting tomorrow?" Xue Yiming slightly raised his eyebrows, sowhat reluctant.
Lately, he had been spending ti with his distant cousin Dabao, running around trying to tan a bit. He knew he’d be mocked as a ’pretty boy’ for being pale, but after over a week, he hadn’t tanned at all.
Xue Yiming was feeling quite frustrated.
"Yes, tomorrow. People from division headquarters are coming, you can’t miss it."
Hearing Xue Hongxing’s words, Xue Yiming decisively nodded without saying more. The uncle and nephew, along with Shen Weixing, exchanged greetings before heading ho together. Shen Weixing looked on, filled with envy — if only he had such an outstanding nephew, he would’ve been overjoyed.
Alas! Unfortunately, his family’s situation was well known throughout the regint.
Shen Weixing didn’t feel his family embarrassed him, but he worried about the negative influence, afraid that over ti, it would not only harm him but potentially implicate others.
When Shen Weixing returned ho with a gloomy face, he found the situation was completely different from what he had expected.
