Chapter 1620: Chapter 1620: The Fox Borrows the Tiger’s Prestige 4

Worried that delays might bring complications, Qinghe hurriedly accompanied Feng Teng to the brigade office to fill out an application form. Feng Teng stamped it, and it would be submitted tomorrow. Along with it, there was another application from a young man, also an outstanding member of the Feng Family.

When Feng Lei and Zhao Guihua returned home with a full load and learned about this, they had no objections.

"Good, good, good. Soldiers receive a salary, and it’s quite high. In the future, when you get your salary every month, just send it home. After all, the military takes care of your food and clothing, so there’s nothing to spend money on!" Zhao Guihua exclaimed excitedly, "The work points in our brigade are too low. Your brother getting married, making quilts and clothes, and preparing the banquet—it drained the savings we had accumulated for over a decade. We are really worried about having no money for the future!"

Perhaps realizing that what she just said wasn’t quite appropriate for her younger son, Zhao Guihua quickly added, "The main thing is to save your salary for your wedding. Getting married costs a lot of money."

Feng Lei nodded beside her, "Your older brother’s wedding emptied the family’s money. For your wedding, you’ll have to rely on yourself."

Qingshan also encouraged, "Erbao, you must pass the selection. Once you’re a soldier and get promoted, our family’s future will depend on you! You know, if I had signed up for the army, you wouldn’t have had the chance. This opportunity was given to you by me, so don’t forget your father and mother’s great kindness and virtue."

Qinghe smiled faintly, "Yes, big brother is right!"

What a load of crap!

Qinghe felt a chill in his heart. His big brother couldn’t endure hardships. Previously, when the militia selected him, his brother disagreed and insisted on taking his place. But then he couldn’t handle the training and feigned illness to come back.

The current army slot was a gift from Feng Teng, yet in his brother’s mouth, it turned into an opportunity given to him. Does he have any shame?

Growing up, whatever his big brother had, he might not have. Whatever he had, his big brother also had, yet would still snatch his away.

The so-called sibling bond meant nothing to him.

Zhao Guihua had no idea that after his early teens, her younger son always remained outwardly obedient but inwardly rebellious for a peaceful life. He just sat there grinning, "Yes, yes, this is truly an opportunity your brother has given to you. You must seize it well and don’t forget to repay your brother. You are siblings, siblings are as close as hands and feet."

Faced with his parents’ attitude, Qinghe wanted even more to escape from this home.

As a child, he didn’t know better. He followed his brother in bullying their little aunt, thinking it was only natural. As he grew older and received guidance from teachers, he understood right and wrong. He hated his childish self and the person he became as he grew, constantly living under his parents’ shadow without seeing the sunlight outside.

Leaving home was his only way out; joining the army was his lifelong pursuit.

Heaven seemed willing to protect him. Come early March the following year, he passed the conscription selection and honorably became a new recruit, finally leaving his hometown to undergo new recruit training.

New recruit training usually lasted three months. Qinghe worked hard because he didn’t want to fall behind or return home, pushing himself to redouble his efforts.

The squad leader of the new recruits naturally noticed his diligence. No one disliked a soldier like him.

After the training ended, Qinghe was assigned to the Wucheng Unit of the Capital Military District. When he and the other recruits assigned to Wucheng set off, it was already the scorching summer season.
