Everyone's been reborn, who'd still want to join the army!

Chapter 16 Dad! I'm leaving! [Please read on! Please comment!]

"Father, don't worry!"

"These two houses are in a fantastic location, right next to so many schools. Who knows how much their value will appreciate in the future!"

"Hmph... You think you can just raise prices like that? Do you think you're the district head or the mayor?"

"We just started to have a little money... look what you've gone through! One house wasn't enough, you had to buy two!"

Chu Weiguo glared at Chu Zhao with annoyance and walked out of the sales center, clutching his bank card with only a little over 20,000 yuan left. He was so heartbroken that he almost cried.

Years of savings, plus lottery winnings and awards for acts of bravery, totaling over 300,000 yuan, hadn't even warmed Chu Weiguo's hands before it became the down payment for two 89-square-meter apartments!

As for Chu Weiguo, who had been frugal his whole life, why would he suddenly engage in "impulsive spending..."?

Of course, it was Chu Zhao's idea!

"Dad! All this money is just sitting idle anyway, might as well buy a house sooner rather than later, to avoid future price increases!"

"If you don't agree, I'll jump off this cliff right now!"

"Hey! You brat! Get down here right now!"

"It's just buying a house, let's go tomorrow!"

"You need to write a written agreement!"

"..."

afterwards.

As expected, Chu Zhao was brutally beaten, and his screams echoed above the residential area for a long time.

But Chu Weiguo kept his word and immediately asked the production manager for leave, taking Chu Zhao to the city to buy a house.

By the way, Chu Weiguo's current position is workshop director, and his salary has exceeded seven thousand!

Including his year-end bonus and various miscellaneous subsidies, Chu Weiguo's annual income has exceeded six figures.

His salary alone is enough to enable the three families behind him to live a comfortable life!

As for that arrogant supervisor... Chu Weiguo never saw him again after returning home, and he didn't care where the man went.

The sudden surge in income was also the source of Chu Weiguo's confidence in agreeing to buy two houses.

In addition, Chu Weiguo's savings were originally intended for Chu Zhao's future use.

Since Chu Zhao wanted to buy a house, Chu Weiguo naturally had no reason to refuse.

Just thinking about how this brat dared to threaten him with jumping off a building... made Chu Weiguo furious, and he kicked Chu Zhao in the butt!

"Dad! Why did you kick me for no reason?"

"So what if I kicked you?"

"I still want to beat you up!"

Chu Weiguo glared at Chu Zhao with an unfriendly expression, then put the bank card in his pocket and said through gritted teeth to Chu Zhao.

"Now that you've bought the house, it's time for you to go home and prepare to serve in the army obediently, right?"

"Hey, Dad, did you forget something?"

This statement came out.

Chu Weiguo felt a sudden tightness in his chest for no reason. He didn't care that he was on the street and started cursing Chu Zhao.

"You brat, are you never going to stop?"

"What else do you want to do? Tell me!"

"I think you just need a beating..."

"Dad, please calm down."

"Wait for me a moment."

After saying that, Chu Zhao swiftly took the van key from Chu Weiguo's pocket and ran back to the van.

By the time Chu Zhao stepped off the bread truck, he had already changed into an exceptionally fitted "Type 07 Winter Training Uniform!"

This was the first time Chu Weiguo had ever seen someone wearing this new military uniform, which had only been officially issued this year.

As a soldier.

Chu Zhao certainly knew how to make his military uniform look even more handsome and stylish!

After changing into his military uniform, the aura of a veteran naturally emanated from him, and every move he made was full of the discipline and composure unique to soldiers!

"Comrade Chu Weiguo!"

"Recruit Chu Zhao, reporting for duty!"

Chu Zhao's actions immediately attracted the attention of passersby.

Facing those curious gazes, Chu Zhao showed no hesitation. Instead, he became even more generous and approached Chu Weiguo, speaking with a playful smile.

"Dad, I'm going to the Armed Forces Department the day after tomorrow."

"When will I be able to come back?"

"Since we're in the city today, shouldn't we take a picture together to commemorate the occasion?"

He stared blankly at Chu Zhao, who was dressed in military uniform.

Chu Weiguo suddenly lowered his head, opened his eyes wide, and tried his best to control the tears that were about to fall from his eyes.

Mother of the child...did you see that...?

Xiao Zhao... is going to join the army...!

"OK..."

"We should take a picture..."

After raising his head.

Chu Weiguo has once again become that indomitable, unyielding middle-aged man.

Not long after.

The father and son walked out of the photo studio.

In Chu Weiguo's hand, there was now a small, exquisite, square wooden photo frame.

Dressed in military uniform, Chu Zhao stood at attention, holding Chu Weiguo's shoulder with a bright smile on his face.

Sitting next to Chu Zhao, Chu Weiguo maintained his usual stern face and serious expression, standing very straight.

"Are you sure there's nothing else you want to buy?"

"no."

"The military has already issued everything, so you only need to bring socks and underwear."

"The rest of the things are useless even if we bring them."

"Um."

"Then let's go home."

The scorching sun melts gold.

The last rays of the setting sun fell on the shoulders of the father and son, casting long shadows behind them.

The father and son walked forward chatting and laughing, their steps light and quick, as if they couldn't wait to embrace their new life ahead.

......

Two days later.

Chu Zhao got off the van carrying a black backpack.

Surrounding him were many new recruits, all dressed in military uniforms, just like him.

There were also parents who came to see him off, their eyes filled with tears and their expressions full of reluctance.

The one-child policy has been in effect for quite some time.

The vast majority of families have only one child.

The child you've cherished since birth is about to leave home and head to a completely unfamiliar place to face all sorts of unknown hardships and challenges.

How could these parents not worry? How could they not be concerned?

Some parents have even begun to regret their actions, wishing they could immediately return the uniforms to the armed forces department and then happily take their children back home.

But in any case.

Today is the day the new recruits are to report to the Armed Forces Department.

All these parents could do was hurry to give their children their final words of advice, and then reluctantly watch them walk through the open gates of the armed forces department.

By comparison.

The father and son from the Chu family remained calm.

"Alright, that's enough."

"Go in."

"Okay!"

There were no sentimental words, no emotionally charged procedures.

The father and son communicated in the same way they always had, as if Chu Zhao wasn't going to join the army, but rather to go to university.

He can go home anytime he wants.

Chu Weiguo stood still, staring intently at Chu Zhao, and walked lightly toward the Armed Forces Department.

As Chu Zhao was about to walk into the gates of the Armed Forces Department, Chu Weiguo suddenly felt a slight, almost imperceptible sense of loss.

This heartless brat... doesn't he even look back?

The moment this thought surfaced in Chu Weiguo's mind...

Chu Zhao, who was walking with the speed of the wind, suddenly stopped and turned to look in the direction where Chu Weiguo was.

The father and son's eyes met in the air, conveying a meaning that only they understood.

next second.

Without warning, Chu Zhao knelt down and kowtowed three times to Chu Weiguo!

Chu Zhao stood up again, grinning from ear to ear, and laughed happily.

"Father! I'm leaving!"

"Remember to think of me!"
