This is the advice Chen Ming gave him. If he really wants to go, he has to commit himself.
Anyway, since all other aspects are qualified, I can pass the test as long as my eyesight is corrected.
However, after hearing this, Uncle He felt a little conflicted.
After all, ten or twenty thousand is not a small sum of money in this era.
Moreover, he didn't really want his son to join the army. He just wanted to send his son in because he saw that Chen Ming had become talented.
Although he didn't know whether his son could make a name for himself like Chen Ming.
But what if it really works? My ancestral graves are also smoking.
But if not, he can just use the two years in there as training. He is not good at studying anyway, so he will be forced to work after finishing high school.
And there are subsidies for serving in the army.
But when I heard that correcting myopia would cost 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, I couldn't help but feel nervous.
What if after correction, he joins the army and does nothing, and is kicked out after two years? Wouldn’t that be a huge loss
After seeing his hesitation, Chen Ming shrugged slightly.
Anyway, he can only give advice on myopia correction. If you want him to make a fortune, there is really no way he can do so.
Not to mention that his current position of major is just an empty title and he has no real power.
Even if he had real power, he couldn't get it. The military recruitment review was the job of the armed forces department. How could he interfere with the local armed forces department's screening of personnel in the Jinling Military Region? They didn't belong to the same unit!
Chen Ming turned his gaze to the other man and continued with a smile:
"Uncle Wang, you are planning to send your son to the army. That's a good thing. I am an officer now, but I can only manage the soldiers under my command. If your son is really assigned to the army I am in, I will definitely take care of him for you!"
What I mean is, if you have the ability to send your son to my team, that's easy, I will definitely take care of him.
But if it can’t be delivered, there’s nothing I can do.
After hearing this, Uncle Wang couldn't help but frown.
He didn't know anyone in the army, so how could he arrange for his son to join his team
Chen Ming ignored his thoughts, looked at another person, and said:
"Uncle Xu, long time no see. Come to our house for a drink some other day. We're just going to buy some things and then go back. We haven't had lunch yet. Don't keep my mom waiting for too long!"
Uncle Xu didn't make any requests just now.
But it is obvious that even if he doesn't mention it now, he will definitely bring it up in the future. After all, he never gave cigarettes to his father before he became successful.
In response, Chen Ming simply exchanged pleasantries without making any promises.
…
After a while, Chen Ming solved all the problems for everyone.
Of course, it’s not about doing something that you shouldn’t do with your own means, but about giving them suggestions on how to solve the problem.
Finally, Chen Ming said, "My dear uncles and aunts, my dad and I will go home to eat first. We will come to your house to get together when we have time."
After saying this, Chen Ming looked at his father Chen Gensheng who was standing there in a daze.
"Dad, have you bought the cooked food that Mom asked you to buy?"
Chen Gensheng nodded quickly, raised the two bags of cooked food in his hand, and said, "I've bought them all."
Chen Ming smiled and nodded, then took his father out of the crowd and quickly returned home.
Chen Gensheng walked beside Chen Ming, glancing at his son from time to time with heartfelt emotion.
My son has really grown up.
He saw everything that happened just now.
Seeing Chen Ming help him out so calmly, Chen Gensheng had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
A few years ago, this kid was still a little kid who would follow me closely when going out on the street.
But it seemed like in the blink of an eye, my son became sensible and grew up.
He speaks in a comprehensive and appropriate manner, unlike myself who is tongue-tied and can't say anything.
My son now has the air of an officer, and I experience this feeling not only here.
He had this feeling just now when the leader of the armed forces came to deliver the good news.
When facing a leader of the level of the Director of the Armed Forces, my son was very natural and spoke in a very fluent manner.
He was not as nervous as himself and his mother. His mother had to think for a long time before saying something, and only spoke after she was sure there was nothing wrong with it.
And since I wasn't very good at speaking, I couldn't utter a single word.
The gap between my son and them has widened so much.
Chen Gensheng looked at his son right in front of him and felt that the gap between them was extremely far, so far that both he and the child's mother had to look up to him.
As they walked along the road, Chen Ming said, "Dad, if you encounter this situation again in the future, and you really can't refuse, just tell them that it was me who didn't allow you to accept anything. Do you understand?"
Today, Chen Ming also discovered that his father refused all the things offered by these people in order not to embarrass himself.
He also knew that if he accepted it, he would be the one in trouble in the end.
Thinking that his father was a reasonable person, Chen Ming also felt relieved.
Chen Gensheng nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
After a pause, Chen Ming continued, "Also, you and mom are at home, buy more of what you want to eat, don't always feel stingy with money, eating too many pickles is not good for your health."
Chen Gensheng nodded quickly and said, "Yeah, okay."
Chen Ming was still worried and said, "You don't have to worry about me when I'm in the army. Now my leaders value me and I've become an officer. I'll have a comfortable life in the future. Don't let your imagination run wild."
Chen Gensheng: "Okay, okay."
Once upon a time, he also nagged Chen Ming in the same way. At that time, Chen Ming also nodded vigorously like him, and then said "um" and understood.
Now that my son has grown up, his identity has changed.
Chen Gensheng looked at Chen Ming's chattering and instead of feeling annoyed, he felt warm in his heart.
Soon, the two returned home.
The mother had already cooked the meal. When she saw the two finally come back, she couldn't help but ask, "Why did you take so long?"
It took nearly an hour to go back and forth. If I had known it would take so long, I would have just killed a chicken and eaten it.
Chen Ming smiled and told his mother how his father was surrounded and given gifts.
However, after hearing what her father said, the mother did not laugh. Instead, she looked at Chen Gensheng and reminded him, "Old man, these are all requests for our son to do things for us. We can't just accept those gifts. Do you understand?"
At this time, Chen Gensheng was putting the plastic bag containing cooked food into the bowl so that he could eat it later.
Hearing Wang Yan's words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at her and said, "I'm not good at talking, but I'm not stupid. Can I accept it without knowing it?"
Chen Ming and Wang Yan were both stunned and couldn't help laughing.
After his father prepared all the dishes, Chen Ming opened the pressure cooker and the aroma of rice wafted into the air.
Chen Ming made a bowl for his parents and himself, and the three of them sat around the table, eating this rather hearty lunch while talking about Chen Ming's interesting childhood memories.
The family is happy together.
Halfway through the meal, the sound of a car braking was heard outside the door.
The three of them looked out the door and saw their cousin Zhang Bufan walking in with a bottle of good wine and a pack of good cigarettes.
When the parents saw Zhang Bufan, they were stunned for a moment.
Although he didn't know why Zhang Bufan came here, he was still very enthusiastic.
The mother smiled and said, "Xiao Fan is here, come on, come on, just in time, sit down and have dinner with us."
My father also pointed to a chair not far away and said, "The chair is over there, and the bowls and chopsticks are next to the stove."
When receiving acquaintances in rural areas, there are usually not so many twists and turns, just let them take a seat.
Zhang Bufan also said with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, I have already eaten. I came here to bring you something."
After saying that, Zhang Bufan shook the cigarette and wine in his hand.
Then, he walked to the dining table, put the wine under the table, and placed the cigarette in front of Chen Gensheng.
Wang Yan looked at Zhang Bufan, smiled and said, "Since you are here, what else do you want to bring?"
After a pause, she asked, "These cigarettes and alcohol are not cheap, right?"
Although she doesn't smoke or drink, she can tell that these are not cheap just by looking at the packaging.
Zhang Bufan was also honest and said truthfully: "Just a few thousand yuan, not much."
After hearing this, Chen Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly in his heart, feeling that his cousin was too straightforward.
When giving a gift, even if the item is very expensive, you cannot say it directly.
Even if you want to talk about it, you have to downplay it, or simply say that it was given by a friend. You can't use it, so just give it to me as a favor.
You just say stupidly that you spent several thousand dollars, who would accept it
As Chen Ming expected, his father and mother's expressions changed slightly when they heard the offer.
