I asked you to repeat your senior year of high school, but did you miss out on joining the military

Chapter 565: A father's warning: what is coming will eventually come (two in one)

The two left Niutouba and came to Quancheng Military Airport. After returning the vehicle to the airport, Chen Jun coordinated the nearest transport flight to Pengcheng Military Region.

Chen Jun was a little tired after running around for days.

But in order not to waste transportation resources, if you just take a transport plane, you naturally can't expect any comfort.

Chen Jun leaned his body against the cold and hard cabin wall, sitting cross-legged on the steel plate. He closed his eyes and exhaled softly, "When we get to the military district logistics airport, I'll coordinate a car there. You can take me to the institute and then go back to the brigade to rest for two days."

"You are familiar with the brigade. I will write to you in advance when we leave for Huzhou."

"Yes, battalion commander."

Li Wujie nodded, holding two large backpacks in his arms.

The brigade that Chen Jun was referring to was naturally the 179th Brigade. He was given a few days off, and Li Wujie could not help by staying in the 92nd Brigade, let alone returning to the training department.

That guy had just been brought there by Bian Tao, and he was taken to Quancheng before he even had time to be assigned a dormitory.

I don’t even know anyone at work, it’s better to be free in the 179th Brigade.

After all, it was their old unit, and they knew a lot of people there, so it was convenient to do anything.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the two returned to the 71st Army Logistics Airport again.

According to Chen Jun’s previous instructions.

Li Wujie borrowed a military vehicle from the logistics department, sent the people to the entrance of the institute, and then returned alone.

Chen Jun straightened his military uniform and looked up at the building in front of him with the words "Information Research Institute" hung high above him. Somehow, coming to such a unit could make one relax both physically and mentally quickly.

There is no sense of urgency here that there is in the front-line troops.

The research institute that Chen Jun came to is Li Haiyao's new workplace.

The headquarters is in Jinling and it is affiliated to the 14th Institute of the Electronic Technology Group Corporation. It is just one institute in more than one location and is responsible for information technology research.

The business also involves microwave, communication, computer and other fields. Anyway, it is not a place where a commander like Chen Jun can come to work.

The sentry on duty at the entrance of the institute watched a colonel get off a car at the gate. He looked up at the unit with curiosity.

The two sentries looked at each other, and both of them could see uneasiness in each other's eyes.

After all, as long as it is a unit under the jurisdiction of the East, who wouldn’t be scared when seeing the words "Eastern Theater Command-Training and Operations Supervision Department" on the armband?

Although the military research institute is under the jurisdiction of the headquarters according to the affiliation, the war zone does have supervisory power over the territory of the military region.

A colonel can only be considered as middle-level in the rank of the research institute, but his rank is middle-level, and it will be different once he wears the supervisory armband.

One of the sentries hesitated for a moment, but eventually ran up to Chen Jun, stood at attention, saluted, and said, "Hello, Colonel. May I ask who you are?"

"Oh, my name is Chen Jun."

"I'm here to see Li Haiyao from your R&D and Statistics Department, comrade. Would it be convenient for you to notify me?"

After Chen Jun returned the gift, he politely took out his officer's certificate from his pocket and handed it to the sentry.

Hearing that the man in front of him was not here on official business but to pick someone up, the sentry breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Colonel Chen, no need to notify, in about ten minutes or so, the whole station will be off work."

"The work in the R&D statistics department is generally not heavy, so we won't keep you to work overtime."

"Okay, thank you!"

Chen Jun reached out to take the officer's certificate. After the two saluted each other again, he did not plan to go far and found an open space to stand and wait.

Have no idea.

Wearing a military uniform, especially in such a public place, it is inappropriate to squat or sit.

It can only stand there like a stick.

Fortunately, the sentry did not lie to him. Less than ten minutes later, many scientific research staff who had changed into casual clothes came out from the gate one after another.

The institute is close to the military headquarters and is located in the urban area, so many staff members ride electric scooters to go home.

Chen Jun originally wanted to call Li Haiyao, but after carefully observing his situation, he quickly gave up the idea because he was just standing at the door.

There was no need to say hello at all. Anyone who came out of the station would basically glance at him subconsciously, which made Chen Jun feel a little uncomfortable even though he had witnessed many big scenes.

Fortunately, he didn't stand there for long before a voice filled with surprise and joy came over.

"Chen Jun?!!"

"When did you come back?"

Li Haiyao, like other colleagues in the research institute, changed into casual clothes at this time, a light gray coat with a white dress and black British-style flat-toed shoes.

Maybe it was because she left the front-line logistics unit and her work became much easier and more comfortable. She looked a lot more energetic and some of her gray hair showed a trend of decreasing in just half a month.

"Let me introduce you. This is Du Yan, a comrade from our department."

"Sister Yan, this is Chen Jun."

Li Haiyao smiled and looked at the female colleague next to her who was about 30 or 40 years old. Judging from her cold temperament, she must be an official.

"Hello."

Chen Jun shook hands with Du Yan with a smile on his face.

"Well, since Colonel Chen is back, Yaoyao is now in your hands. I won't bother you any more. Bye!!"

Du Yan waved and said goodbye to the two of them.

After the people walked away, Li Haiyao looked Chen Jun up and down, and asked curiously: "Didn't you say that you would assist the 92nd Brigade in Quancheng?"

"Why are you back so soon?"

"Hey, it's a long story to talk about a child without a mother." Chen Jun joked, then shook his head and said seriously: "This morning, Chief of Staff Xu of the War Zone suddenly came to the brigade to inform the Supervisory Department that there was a mission."

"I was asked to come back and rest for two days, and then I was notified to go to Huzhou to handle the matter."

"That's it"

Li Haiyao nodded slightly when she heard this. Although she was not from the Supervisory Department, she was from a military family after all. She guessed part of the story just from Chen Jun's few words.

She knew that the headquarters had ordered a rectification of the organization, and the research institute was not among them. However, many people working at the research institute had family members working in the organization, so it was inevitable that they would talk about these things.

Chief of Staff Xu personally went to the unit in Quancheng to give orders and let Chen Jun rest for a few days. This decision.
"Did they also say that you will be asked to leave for a while during the mid-year conference of the war zone?"

Li Haiyao was very smart and had already guessed the intention of letting Chen Jun take a holiday early.

"Yes, that's exactly what they said."

Chen Jun had nothing to keep secret about Li Haiyao. Moreover, Chief of Staff Xu did not specifically instruct him to keep these things confidential at the time. As long as he did not publicize it to the world, it would be fine.

"Also, they arranged for my name to be enrolled in the military graduate class of the Hongzhou Army Infantry Academy. They said I don't have to attend classes, but I must take the exams."

"Maybe by then, I will be arranged to go to Hongzhou to study for a period of time."

Chen Jun handed the registration letter to Li Haiyao. Li Haiyao was not surprised at all about these arrangements.

Many military officers who have graduated from colleges and universities, because of work reasons or outstanding performance, cannot leave temporarily, they will adopt the form of nominal education to improve their academic qualifications.

The relevant exams are not difficult. As long as you take the time to look at the questions and combine them with your practice at work, it will be easy to pass.

Li Haiyao obtained her postgraduate degree in the same way, except that she was a few years older than Chen Jun, and there were no strict regulations for non-command majors, so she had to serve in the army for two years before she could continue to apply to improve her academic qualifications.

Less than half a year after graduation, she went on to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination.

Chen Jun is a commander. According to regulations, he must serve in the army for two years after graduating from college before he can report. This is not surprising.

After a brief communication, I learned the reason why Chen Jun was taking a vacation.

The two walked along the way, talking about their recent work.

The military district’s family compound is quite a distance away from the research institute, but people there still ride electric scooters to and from get off work, so they can go somewhere else for a stroll.

Because of her background, Li Haiyao has not developed any bad habits.

But she really couldn't use eMule, so she could only take the shuttle bus arranged by the military district to and from get off work.

It’s quite convenient.

Some time ago, my parents from my hometown were brought to the family compound. It was the military district that found low-rent housing for them because of work transfer.

Chen Jun hasn't had time to come back and visit, but now that he's back, he has to go and see it.

The two bought a lot of nutritional supplements at a supermarket near the staff quarters, as well as some meat, vegetables, eggs and so on.

Chen Jun couldn't come back often because he was working away from home, but Li Haiyao came to visit him every few days, and she knew the way back home very well.

The two arrived at the door of their home, and Li Haiyao raised her hand and knocked gently.

After knocking twice, a clear response came from the room: "Coming."

"Clap."

As the door opened, a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old appeared in front of him. This was Chen Jun's sister, Chen Yingying. The little girl who was only eight or nine years old holding the watermelon back then has now grown into a graceful young lady.

Chen Yingying wore an orange vest, a white sweatshirt, jeans and white sneakers, and a red headset on her head.

"sister in law."

Chen Yingying called out sweetly, and then as if she suddenly saw Chen Jun, she turned around and shouted, "Mom, my brother is back, and my sister-in-law is here too."

Afterwards, regardless of whether Chen Jun was carrying anything in his hands, Chen Yingying rushed over and hugged Chen Jun. She then raised her hand to measure above her head and found that her height was only up to Chen Jun's chest.

Then he curled his lips and said, "My height is still not good enough. Why is there such a big difference between me and my brother?"

"What are you doing blocking the door, kid?"

Chen Yingying called out Li Xiufen who was busy in the inner room. Chen's mother came over and pulled Chen Yingying aside.

"Yaoyao, come in quickly."

"Xiaojun, you are such a kid. We have everything we need at home, why are you wasting money buying these?" "Haha, just eat slowly." Chen Jun walked into the house with a smile and turned around to look around.

The layout of this low-rent apartment is similar to his two-bedroom, one-living-room house, and it is also very clean. Seeing the smile on his mother's face, Chen Jun felt relieved.

He was afraid that if the military district suddenly brought his parents over, his family would not be able to adapt to living in a "pigeon cage".

After all, although my hometown is a bit remote, at least I have a big yard. Besides, I have lived with my neighbors for half my life, so it is inevitable that I would feel uncomfortable if I suddenly went to another place.

"Mom, where is my dad?"

After looking around and not seeing his father, Chen Jun felt a little confused.

"You don't know the man who harmed your father. He couldn't stay idle, so he asked the neighbor downstairs to find him a job building a factory a few days ago. He works for him every day."

"It's almost time to come back."

"Hey, Yingying, go get some money from the drawer and go downstairs to buy two bottles of wine. By the way, Xiaojun, you're not in a hurry to go back to the army tonight, are you?"

Li Xiufen was tying an apron around her waist when she suddenly seemed to remember something and asked nervously.

This time, he didn't wait for Chen Jun to speak.

Li Haiyao next to him took over the conversation: "Mom, he's on vacation this time. He's back to stay for two days. He doesn't have to go to work tonight. I'll cook for you and ask Yingying and Chen Jun to go buy some wine."

"Otherwise, Yingying is just a child, how would she know what to buy?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Then you two go."

Hearing that her son was not in a hurry to leave tonight, Li Xiufen was so happy that she could hardly close her mouth.

She immediately acted like a hostess and started assigning tasks.

Li Haiyao winked at Chen Jun, and she also tied an apron and prepared to help. Chen Jun smiled, led the excited Chen Yingying to open the door and go downstairs.

"Brother, let me tell you a secret."

As soon as the two came down from upstairs, Chen Yingying whispered mysteriously: "I decided to follow my sister-in-law's example and apply for the National University of Defense Technology in the college entrance examination."

"I know my parents don't agree with me going to military school, because they often say at home that if you join the army, you won't come home often, but this is my dream. When I was in elementary school, my teacher taught us that soldiers are there to protect the people."

"Every year, we recruit soldiers in Rong'an, and the streets are filled with people beating gongs and drums to send them off. When I was in elementary school, I even joined a singing band, specifically beating gongs for the recruits."

"Brother, you must agree with me applying to the military academy, right?"

After Chen Yingying finished speaking, she stared at Chen Jun nervously. In her opinion, this brother might be the only one in the family who would support her.

Seeing the little girl's expectant look, Chen Jun raised his hand, rubbed her head and said with a smile: "You can apply for a military academy, I support you, and I support the National University of Defense Technology even more."

"But I'm not trying to discourage you. You're going to take the college entrance exam next year. No matter if you use Pengcheng's household registration or our hometown's household registration, the score you get at the National University of Defense Technology is not something that ordinary people can get."

"Your history score must be at least 580, and for physics, you must at least score around 640 to reach the admission score of the National University of Defense Technology."

"If you want to be a military student, the application requirements are higher. You have to take a political exam, a military examination, an interview, and even have vision requirements. If you have this ambition, you can't just listen to music and play with your phone all the time."

"Ok, I know."

Chen Yingying raised her head and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law graduated from the National University of Defense Technology. I have already found out about it. Her grades are a little low now, but I will work hard."

"Then come on."

Listening to his sister's bold words, Chen Jun couldn't help but smile. Teenagers are full of youth and confidence in the future. Since she is determined to enter a military academy, then just go for it.

If he could really study at the National University of Defense Technology, he would at least be better than his brother. You have to know that with Chen Jun's scores at the time, it was really a bit of a bargain to be able to go to Xijing.

When he got to the supermarket outside, Chen Jun bought two bottles of Yanghe Daqu. He saw that the battalion commanders in the camp liked to buy a few bottles of this kind of wine on Sundays.

It’s not that I can’t afford good wine, it’s just that the wine I buy is too good, and with my dad’s personality, I’m afraid he wouldn’t drink it.

When it comes to family gatherings, the most important thing is that everyone is happy.

Around seven o'clock, when the meal at home was almost ready, Chen Baishui came back from work.

When Chen Baishui saw his son at home, he was stunned for a while before he grinned and said, "I was wondering why my mood suddenly became so good on the way home. It turns out that my family got together today."

"Haha, let's eat."

As a father, Chen Baishui's educational views have never been dull, so Chen Jun's relationship with his father since childhood is not like in other families where the relationship between sons and fathers is more or less stiff.

The whole family sat together and had a very enjoyable dinner.

After dinner, Chen Yingying went to her room to do her homework, while her mother and Li Haiyao cleaned up the house. The two heavy smokers left the house under the pretext of going downstairs for a walk.

In fact, except for Yingying who was still young, Li Xiufen and Li Haiyao both knew that Chen Baishui had something to say to his son.

After all, he was living well in his hometown, but suddenly people from the military district came over, and even Li Haiyao's in-laws and the armed forces went to his home to persuade him to join the army.

The older generation may not have experienced these things, but they are not without feelings.

The father and son came to the park behind the family compound and sat down in a slightly secluded flower bed.

Chen Baishui took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Chen Jun, then looked at his son in front of him seriously.

Then he sighed and whispered: "Xiaojun, Dad is old. I know something must have happened to you in the army. That's why the leaders are so anxious to settle our family here."

"You even helped with Yingying's transfer to another school. I don't ask anything from you. I know you're doing a good job in the army, and the country treats us well."

"But you are still young. Remember, you can be free at work, but you must never cross the line. You are a colonel now, which is a height I have never reached in my life."

"You have wings all over your body and can fly very far. I know that."

"But many things are not as simple as you think. One thing you should remember is that when you are alive, you should do what you should do and what you shouldn't do. You should not do anything that hurts yourself, offends others, or makes your conscience uneasy."

"You have to maintain the lowest bottom line. Only then will you be qualified to fly high."

"When things happen, we need to think long-term. We need to plan for the long term in everything we do. We don't live in this moment, but in our whole life. We should not be too eager for quick success and should distinguish between the deceptive tricks of sowing today and reaping tomorrow. To have a truly valuable and meaningful life requires long-term efforts and persistence. Winning or losing is not a matter of a moment."

“Laughing to the end without looking back in tears is what real life is all about.”

"Also, you need to think more about others. People are selfish and will always subconsciously want to make a profit for themselves. This is natural and understandable."

"But if you only think about yourself, you will lose your heart. When you interact and cooperate with others, think more about the benefits of both parties. In fact, you are saving for yourself."

"Of course, this doesn't mean you should compromise on many things. You are a soldier, but you also need to be a prickly person. When you are kind, you need to protect yourself first."

"Then help others as much as possible. There must be a bottom line. Don't be taken advantage of, deceived, belittled, or bullied. It's hard to balance a person's character and quality. Many things are difficult for us to predict and prevent. You should learn to protect yourself first, and then be kind."

"Also, in the future, don't ask for help easily when you can. The most difficult thing to repay in this world is favors. Don't owe them if you can avoid it."

“Look at the things around you with an appreciative eye. If you can see it, it means you have it in your heart. Only when you have it in your heart can you see it.”

"Xiaojun, I've said so much today because I'm worried that you'll go too smoothly in the army and end up going the wrong way. I haven't achieved much in my life, and I know I can't teach you too much, but there are some things you have to consider carefully."

Chen Baishui smoked a cigarette and spoke a bunch of words that he had summarized himself.

It's not that Chen's father is worrying too much or being sentimental. He just didn't expect that his son would achieve such great success in the army just two years after graduation.

This made Chen Baishui, who had worked diligently for half his life, not feel proud, but instead deeply worried.

Understanding his father's feelings, Chen Jun nodded heavily and said, "Dad, don't worry, I understand all these principles."

"I will also do what I should do. Don't worry. I know what to do."

"Okay, that's fine."

Chen Baishui said out everything that had been on his mind for a while, and now he felt relieved.

Next, the father and son chatted a lot, talking about why they suddenly came here, the situation at home, and how the land and house were all under the management of Uncle San and others.

They talked about Yingying's college entrance examination next year. Chen Jun did not hide it from his sister and told her everything at once.

Chen Baishui is quite open-minded. In fact, as a father, he has some idea of ​​what his daughter is thinking.

Just apply to the military academy. It’s obvious that something is different in their family since Chen Jun’s generation.

My son and daughter-in-law are both soldiers, and I'm afraid that my grandchildren will also join the army in the future, so it's no big deal to have another daughter.

This night.

After Chen Jun finished chatting with his father, he went back home and talked a lot with his mother. It was not until midnight that he took Li Haiyao home.

During the two days of rest, Li Haiyao also asked for leave from her unit and followed Chen Jun home all day long.

After all, there are some things that children cannot easily say out loud.

After Chen Jun's vacation, he will be transferred elsewhere before the mid-year conference of the war zone.

Avoid certain disturbances that may affect him.

I don’t know how long this retreat will last, so try to spend more time with your parents at home while you can.

. . . . . . . . . . .

It could be that they needed time to verify some things, or it could be that seeing that Chen Jun hadn't had a rest for a long time, they gave him a few days off.

Anyway, the two-day holiday that was agreed upon actually lasted for four days.

It was not until the afternoon of April 4 that Chen Jun received an order from the theater staff headquarters, asking him to take his men to the Huzhou Artillery Brigade for investigation on the morning of the 27th.

This time, we are not like the Training Department, which relies entirely on blind guessing, nor are we like the 92nd Brigade, which conducts random checks.

The Supervision Department was dispatched, and this was an open investigation, or an examination of the entire unit, and all cadres were questioned one by one by name.

In addition to the notice, a special person was arranged to deliver several documents, providing information about the unit.

Chen Jun did not dare to delay. On the evening of the 27th, he sat at home and began to carefully check the list of cadre transfers in the past two years.

It’s better not to look at it.

When he saw it, even Chen Jun himself was shocked. He understood why Chief of Staff Xu took so long to notify him.
