Chapter 97: This Is The Army

 Jiang Hongyu’s older sister is named Jiang Hongxia, and she works at the military hospital. Their marriage was arranged by their parents many years ago.

Originally, Jiang Hongxia had no objections to marrying Xiao Nan.

But on the second day after they registered their marriage, Xiao Nan went on a mission and was gone for half a year. Unable to bear the loneliness, she fell in love with another man.

When Xiao Nan returned, she asked for a divorce.

Both sets of parents were reluctant, but she threatened them with extreme measures, and Xiao Nan agreed to the divorce. So the divorce happened quickly.

“Yiling, your brother is very outstanding.”

Xiao Yiling knew how outstanding her older brother was, of course.

It was just that his excellence made her and her own brother seem mediocre and incompetent.

In the eyes of their grandparents, the two siblings were simply good-for-nothings!

Xiao Yiling’s older brother was recommended to university, so she had no chance to go to university for the past two years.

She could only continue to wait.

Xiao Yiling’s mother said that next year, she would definitely ask her father to get her a place, and she also wanted to study medicine.

“Hongyu, did your dad promise to get you a place?”

Speaking of this, Jiang Hongyu lost her spirits: “He said he would, but it’s still up in the air.”

That’s right.

Xiao Yiling asked, “What university do you plan to go to? What major do you want to study?”

“I want to go to the PLA Academy of Arts. I want to sing and dance. After I graduate, I want to work in the a Division’s art troupe.”

“Yiling, what about you?”

Both of them were only nineteen this year, and they had family backgrounds, so they were full of fantasies about the future.

“Me? I want to study medicine. By the way, who was the person who came to pick up your brother-in-law just now?”

Jiang Hongyu secretly thought: Isn’t that your brother? And my brother-in-law?

“His name is Chen Mingchuan. He’s your brother’s best friend.”

“That officer Chen?”

“Yes.”

Xiao Yiling’s eyes rolled: “I heard he’s not married yet. Is that true?”

Jiang Hongyu suddenly remembered Li Xinyuein the car: “No, right? I saw a woman and a child in the car just now.”

What?

Xiao Yiling was shocked: “No way? He already has a child?”

Jiang Hongyu shook her head: “I don’t know about that. Anyway, I saw a woman and a child in the car just now.”

“I think, with Officer Chen’s and your brother’s personalities, they wouldn’t pick up people who are unrelated to them.”

That’s very likely!

Xiao Yiling’s eyes flashed: “Let’s go.”

Everyone else has left, why wouldn’t they leave?

Jiang Hongyu nodded, and the two quickly turned and left.

Li Xinyue, sitting in the car, didn’t know that these two were discussing her… Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn’t care.

After all, they were two people who had nothing to do with her. Let them talk if they want!

The a Division wasn’t in the city center of G City, but in Duyang Town, which was more than ten kilometers away from the city.

This town was still a bit remote.

The car drove out for a while and soon entered the mountainous area. Although the mountains weren’t very high, Li Xinyue could feel the car winding its way through the mountains.

It seemed like the entire town was surrounded by mountains.

When they reached the town, the car turned onto a two-lane concrete road, then immediately turned right and headed straight into a large mountain valley.

The road was against the mountain on the right, and a river on the left.

The river flowed slowly eastward along the valley, making a gurgling sound. The river was wide, and some unknown wild grasses grew lushly by the river, exuding a vibrant life force. A few ducks were chasing each other on the water surface…

Chen Yiheng saw the ducks in the middle of the river and excitedly shouted: “Mom, Mom, ducks, ducks, look!”

Li Xinyue smiled gently: “Yes, I saw it, it’s a duck!”

Chen Yiheng leaned on the car window, his big eyes fixed on the river: “Mom, can we raise ducks where we’re going?”

Li Xinyue replied: “You have to ask your dad.”

“Dad, can we raise ducks at our house?”

Chen Mingchuan turned his head to look at his son who was leaning on his back: “Yes, we have a small yard at our house.”

“But we can’t let them out, I’ll build a duck coop for you.”

“Great! I want to raise so many ducks!”

Chen Yiheng was so excited that he danced with joy…

Li Xinyue twitched her mouth: “Ducks like water, it’s not good to keep them dry, how about I let you raise 2?”

“2 is too few! Mom, can I raise 4?”

“You one, Dad one, Uncle Xiao one, me one…”

“I agree!”

Li Xinyue looked at Xiao Nan: “…”

What are you getting excited about?

“Mom, Uncle Xiao said we can.”

Li Xinyue’s face felt hot.

She didn’t like raising chickens or ducks, those things would make everything smell…

“Yiheng, duck poop smells very bad, in the summer, there will be mosquitoes everywhere.”

“Also, without water, the ducks won’t grow big.”

“I have a separate dormitory, I’ll dig a fish pond in the backyard, and let him raise ducks.”

Li Xinyue: “…”

Is there such a thing as spoiling a child?

Chen Mingchuan quickly spoke up: “Yiheng, quickly thank Uncle Xiao.”

“Thank you, Uncle Xiao!”

Chen Yiheng was both well-behaved and smart, Xiao Nan’s lips curled up.

“Well, then you can raise 8, two for each of us!”

“Great! Great!”

“We can raise 8 ducks! Mom, we’ll have salted duck eggs to eat!”

The little guy is so cute!

Forget it, someone spoiling him isn’t a bad thing, as long as she guides him well in the future!

Li Xinyue nodded vigorously: “Yes, in the future, we’ll pickle a big jar of salted duck eggs, let them turn yellow with oil, eat them whenever we want!”

“Okay!”

Xiao Nan drove quickly, and soon they reached a fork in the road.

After turning a corner, a military camp came into view.

From the mountain outside, it felt like there were mountains everywhere.

But once inside, there was a feeling of openness.

In front of them was a majestic gate, on both sides were eight powerful characters “Be Vigilant, Defend the Motherland,” two tall sentries stood on both sides.

At a glance, Li Xinyue felt the solemn and heavy atmosphere of the army rushing towards her.

It really is a first-class division, the momentum is strong!

At this moment, Li Xinyue felt her blood boiling: Army, here I come!

Seeing Li Xinyue’s excitement, Chen Mingchuan immediately began to introduce.

“This is the west gate of the army, the main gate is on the east side, usually, the army families enter and exit through the small gate to the north.”

“When you have time tomorrow, I’ll take you for a walk.”

“If you want to enter through the east or west gates, you must have someone to pick you up, otherwise you won’t be able to enter.”

“Of course, even if you enter through the north gate, you need an entry and exit permit.”

“I’ve already reported it, you can go and get it later, with the permit, you’ll be able to enter and exit easily.”

“Of course, before you get the permit, you can register and wait for someone to pick you up.”

So strict?

Li Xinyue remembered firmly: “Okay, I’ll remember, and I won’t wander around.”

The car stopped, Xiao Nan stuck his head out and waved, the sentry saluted, the barrier rose, and the jeep drove in.
