Chapter 183 Special Training
Chapter 183 Special Training
Li Wanqing made her stance clear, so Cheng Chi stopped wasting words trying to persuade Cheng Baichuan.
He thought to himself, "This kid is usually very stubborn. Let's see if he can outstubborn his wife this time."
Everyone enjoyed the meal, except for Cheng Baichuan.
He felt like he was being ostracized by everyone, even his closest relatives.
Back home, Li Wanqing silently helped Nuonuo wash up before returning to her room.
She sat at the table, meticulously combing her long hair, every movement revealing her focus and determination.
Then, she picked up a book and prepared to start reading.
Cheng Baichuan watched her from the side, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you really going to take the college entrance exam?"
Li Wanqing didn't turn around, but simply nodded slightly, her tone firm: "Yes."
Li Wanqing put down her book, turned around, and asked sharply, "And what about you? Are you really not going to the military academy for selection?"
Cheng Baichuan frowned, his face full of hesitation and struggle: "Military academy selection is not easy, I may not be selected."
After hearing this, Li Wanqing's expression remained calm, but her tone carried an undeniable firmness.
"Are you going to give up without even trying? Was your 10 years of military service for nothing? Or did those two years in a coma wear down your courage?"
Cheng Baichuan's face stiffened when asked the question, and he hurriedly tried to explain: "No, no, I just feel that we finally got together, and if we go to school, won't we have to separate again?"
Upon hearing this, Li Wanqing's face instantly darkened, and her tone carried a hint of displeasure: "So not only do you not want to take the exam yourself, but you also want me not to take it either?"
Cheng Baichuan quickly shook his head, urgently denying, "I didn't think that."
Li Wanqing crossed her arms, a hint of sternness in her eyes: "So what do you think?"
Her tone was firm and unwavering, as if telling Cheng Baichuan that if he couldn't explain himself, she would leave with Nuonuo.
Cheng Baichuan took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind: "I was wondering, could you take me with you when you study in the future?"
Li Wanqing was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. Looking at Cheng Baichuan's somewhat embarrassed expression, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay!"
But then she said seriously, "However, let me make this clear: learning academic subjects with me is no easier than your daily training."
Cheng Baichuan patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, although my foundation is a little weak, I'm quick-witted and I will definitely not give up."
Upon hearing this, Li Wanqing's eyebrows curved into a smile, her tone filled with anticipation: "Then I'll be watching with bated breath."
Both of them had high hopes for the future and worked together to make their lives better.
Having already agreed to Li Wanqing's request, Cheng Baichuan stopped hesitating and went to the division headquarters the next day to resolutely explain his decision to participate in the military academy entrance selection.
Lu Liang was Cheng Chi's old subordinate and was well aware of the relationship between Cheng Baichuan and Cheng Chi.
Therefore, when Cheng Baichuan signed up, he immediately relayed the news to Cheng Chi.
"Commander, this kid was hesitant and uncertain before, but I didn't expect him to have come to his senses so quickly." Lu Liang was quite surprised. "You really know how to persuade people, Commander."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Chi smiled and said, "It's not me who's good at giving advice; it's someone else who's giving advice."
He thought to himself, "This brat is just like me, henpecked."
But this is good too; when husband and wife are harmonious and work together, their lives will get better and better.
"Isn't there a national military competition in June?" Cheng Chi said with a satisfied smile. "Notify the soldiers participating in the selection to assemble for special training in 5 days."
Lu Liang nodded in agreement and then went to make the arrangements.
When Cheng Baichuan received the notice of special training, he was completely stunned.
He knew that military academy selection required first achieving good results in the national military competition, and then taking the academic exam.
I just didn't expect this special training to come so quickly!
Upon learning this, Li Wanqing didn't say much, but quietly spent several days organizing the high school knowledge into a systematic set of materials.
“Take these with you,” Li Wanqing said, handing the materials to Cheng Baichuan. “Take a good look at them in your spare time. There are also some practice questions. If you don’t understand anything, ask me when you get back.”
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Since you've left, the weather is gradually getting warmer, so I've only prepared two sets of clothes for you to change into."
As for the quilt..."
Cheng Baichuan pressed down on Li Wanqing, who was busy at work, and said with a smile, "It's all fine, I'll take care of it myself."
Li Wanqing then came to her senses, patted her forehead and laughed, "Look how busy I am! If we're going to special training, we'll be using military equipment, so we won't need these everyday things."
"Then you can pack whatever you want," Li Wanqing said, getting up to prepare some commonly used medicines for you.
Cheng Baichuan wouldn't let her get up, and sat down next to her.
“I’ll be gone for three or four months,” Cheng Baichuan said, looking at Li Wanqing with deep affection. “With special training and military competitions, I won’t be back until at least July. Everything at home, and Nuonuo, is in your care.”
Cheng Baichuan was truly reluctant, but since he had already made the decision, there was no room for regret.
Li Wanqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of things at home."
Li Wanqing smiled and patted the back of his hand: "Don't worry, I'll take care of things at home."
On the day Cheng Baichuan left, Nuonuo was unusually quiet, only bursting into tears in her mother's arms after he was gone.
She hadn't had much time with her father and mother before her father was about to leave.
Li Wanqing held her and comforted her for a long time with heartache before taking her to the Shao family.
Shao Wenzhao also went. He didn't participate in the military academy selection, but basically all battalion-level officers had to participate in the military competition.
After the military region selects a group, they will be sent to Taipei to participate in the national military competition.
Guo Chunxiang's belly is now showing. Shao Wenzhao is gone, and there are only three boys left in the family.
Fortunately, the eldest and second eldest children are older now, and since their father passed away, they have become more sensible.
With help with housework and taking care of her younger brother, Guo Chunxiang's life became much more comfortable for a while.
"If I had known that the children would grow up and become more sensible after Lao Shao left, I would have preferred to let Lao Shao stay away for a little longer," Guo Chunxiang said with a smile.
Deng Hongmei joked, "You're just saying that. When you're about to give birth and Battalion Commander Shao still hasn't returned, you'll start to get anxious."
Guo Chunxiang waved her hand dismissively, "I'm not in a hurry. Anyway, I'm not the one who won't see my daughter at first glance."
Hearing this, Deng Hongmei and Li Wanqing both laughed.
"Is it confirmed to be a girl?" Deng Hongmei asked.
Guo Chunxiang shook her head. "Doctors these days are very tight-lipped. I asked them several times, but they wouldn't say anything."
"I would like to see Dr. Meng, but he is not good at this, so it's hard for him to make a judgment."
