Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

Time passed quickly and Jiang Li had to leave the day after tomorrow morning.

Before going to bed at night, Jiang Li called Jiang Jingcheng out to talk.

"Jingcheng, what have you thought about? If you don't know how to tell your parents, I can tell them."

He really hopes that Jiang Jingcheng can join the army.

“Uncle, you know the situation at home.

Even though Xiaoyang is already 17, he is unstable and a bit childish. If there is something wrong at home, he may not be able to handle it. My father can't go to work because of his inconvenient legs and feet, and there is also grandfather...

Anyway, I can’t leave.”

Of course, he also has the dream of defending his country, but he is not a selfless person and has to consider the actual situation at home.

He cannot leave his family here just for his dream or his family's expectations. That would be too irresponsible.

Uncle Jiang was silent for a while, then said that he understood Jiang Jingcheng and did not persuade him any further.

"Uncle, grandpa and my parents probably don't know about this." He was worried that they would come to persuade him if they knew.

"They don't know. I asked you what you thought first, thinking I would tell them if you agreed. Since you don't plan to go, I won't tell them about it, don't worry."

After saying this, the two of them went into the house.

"Jiang Xuyang, why are you standing in the yard instead of staying in the house?" The uncle and nephew saw Jiang Xuyang as soon as they entered the yard.

"Uncle, I want to join the army." Jiang Xuyang changed his previous childish attitude and looked at Jiang Li with a serious expression.

The two realized that Jiang Xuyang had heard their conversation.

Jiang Jingcheng looked at Jiang Li to see what he would say.

"Have you thought it through? Joining the army is not just a simple matter of changing your place of life. You have to train every day, and you may have to go on a mission or go to the battlefield one day. Bleeding and getting injured are commonplace. It's not as easy as you think.

And I am only arranging for you to join the army. As for where you will be assigned to, or what happens afterwards, I will not interfere."

He was afraid that Jiang Xuyang was acting on impulse and would regret it once he joined the army.

Hearing Jiang Li say this, Jiang Xuyang did not back down. He said seriously, "Uncle, I heard you told my brother to join the army last time.

I know I am immature and have caused a lot of trouble to my family over the years. So I want to go to the army with you to gain experience. I am not afraid of bleeding or getting hurt. I want to be like you and bring honor to my family in the future. "

Jiang Xuyang has been thinking a lot these days.

At first, when he heard that his uncle wanted his brother to join the army, he was happy for his brother. But in the past few days, seeing that his brother didn't even mention a word, he knew that his brother didn't plan to go.

Thinking about it carefully, he also figured out the reason why his brother didn't go.

The conversation between his brother and his uncle just now made him even more convinced that his brother had his reasons for not joining the army.

His brother was worried that no one would take care of the family after he went to the army, and he was immature and couldn't handle the hardship. By then, let alone sending food to grandpa, his family's work points for a year would probably not be enough to buy food.

So, he planned to go.

Isn't it just training to do missions and go to the battlefield to fight? He can do what his grandfather and uncle can do!!

When he has made a contribution, his family will be proud of him and he will no longer be the ignorant child he used to be.

Although he was robbing his brother of his opportunity, he still wanted to fight for it.

Uncle Jiang Jingcheng and his nephew didn't say anything. They just kept looking at Jiang Xuyang, which made Jiang Xuyang feel creepy.

Jiang Xuyang felt a little uncomfortable and asked again if it was okay.

"You have no say in this matter. I have to ask your parents." Jiang Li did not agree immediately. Based on their interactions over the past few days, he knew what kind of person Jiang Xuyang was.

As a result, Jiang Xuyang directly called out Jiang's father and mother.

"Dad! Mom! Come out, my uncle has something to tell you."

Jiang's father and mother thought that it was Jiang's uncle who had to report back to the army immediately, so they hurriedly put on their clothes and came out of the house, preparing to go to the kitchen to make something for him to eat on the way.

Jiang Li: “…” This kid!

Then, under the puzzled gazes of Jiang's father and mother, Jiang Li told them what had happened, including the fact that he had previously asked Jiang Jingcheng to go to the army with him but was rejected.

The couple didn't expect that Jiang Li wanted Jiang Jingcheng to join the army, and they were a little worried, "Can it work given our family's situation?" Grandpa Jiang was demoted, and although he announced in the newspaper that he had severed ties with him before the incident, he would still undergo a political review.

Jiang's uncle told him not to worry, since he mentioned this matter there would be no problem.

"Jingcheng, why don't you go?" Jiang's mother didn't understand. The child had often said in the past that he wanted to be a soldier like his grandfather.

Now that we have the chance, why not go.

Jiang Jingcheng remained silent. Jiang's father instantly understood what he was thinking and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

They were holding him back...

"Jingcheng, you go, mom and dad can take care of the family."

"Don't say anything, Dad. I have decided to stay. If Xiaoyang wants to go, let him go." He has been worried about his family and has not been able to train properly. It would be better for him to stay in Jiangjia Village to take care of his family and grandfather.

He could see that his brother's words about wanting to join the army were not just casual words, but a serious thought.

Jiang's father and mother were just busy wondering why Jiang Jingcheng refused, and now they realized that their youngest son wanted to join the army.

"Xiaoyang, have you thought it through?"

Jiang Xuyang was a little unhappy. He felt that he was just acting on impulse. He must have really thought it through.

"I figured it out!"

Then Jiang Xuyang repeated what he had just said to his father and mother, saying that he would definitely not be a deserter and that he had really thought it through.

Seeing that Father and Mother Jiang were hesitant, Uncle Jiang said, "You don't have to make a decision now. Go back and discuss it. Just make a decision before I leave the day after tomorrow."

Seeing his parents were silent, Jiang Xuyang rushed to answer, "Uncle, I can definitely go!" Then he looked at his father and mother, "Dad, Mom, just agree."

Mother Jiang was at a loss and looked at Father Jiang.

Jiang's father asked his younger uncle to go back and rest first, and called the Jiang Jingcheng brothers into the house.

"You two come in with me."

The father and his two sons talked in the room for a long time. Later, Jiang's father asked Jiang Xuyang to go back to the room to sleep first, and left Jiang Jingcheng behind.

"Jingcheng, have you really decided not to leave with your uncle?" Father Jiang thought it would be best to give this opportunity to his eldest son.

"I've made up my mind. Let Xiaoyang go. It's a good thing for him to go to the army to gain some experience. I think he has thought it through and he is not just talking."

He noticed that Jiang Xuyang was not normal these days and often looked at him as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Jiang Jingcheng thought about it carefully and knew that the child probably knew that his uncle asked him to join the army.

Don't be fooled by the child's usual unruly behavior. He is actually quite thoughtful. You can guess his attitude by seeing that he doesn't mention this matter.

Parents all hope that their children will have a bright future, but seeing that Jiang Jingcheng had made up his mind, he said nothing more and just told them to think about it again.

Jiang Xuyang was spreading the mattress in the room. When he saw Jiang Jingcheng coming in, he hurriedly asked him if his parents agreed.

Jiang Jingcheng said truthfully, "No, they need to think about it."

Jiang Xuyang said "Oh", feeling a little depressed, then looked up and asked Jiang Jingcheng

"Brother, am I stealing your chance to join the army?"

"No, I don't want to go." Jiang Jingcheng comforted.
