Brother Jiang's family won't be coming so soon, but they are starting to prepare the New Year's goods. In early summer, I went shopping for New Year's goods with Jiang Shengnan. Cen Huaian followed me, as did Hu Cangshang and Xiaohe. Everyone also wanted to go out and play.
Their parents also followed, and it was fun to buy New Year's goods together when everyone was together.
The market has not changed much from when I came before early summer, it is still noisy and crowded.
Everyone buys things in whole pieces and in bags.
In Chu Xia and Cen Huaian, the mutton kebabs here are the most coveted. No matter where they are eaten, they are not as good as those in Ganzhou. They are not fishy at all and the meat is delicious.
Several children ate mutton skewers with the two of them, and their mouths were full of oil. Usually their parents are not willing to let them buy and eat like this.
The price of mutton kebabs is acceptable for early summer, but many parents also think it is expensive. But compared to before, everyone's life is much better now.
At noon, Chu Xia and An An ate boiled rice dumplings, which is also a delicacy in Ganzhou. It is made with chicken and flour. It has a rich, chewy texture and is smooth and delicious. Chu Xia and An An each ate a big bowl.
The other people had everything to eat, and they all sat together and talked and laughed, very happily.
After returning from the market, the teenagers who played with Cen Huai'an all followed him to his home. They hadn't seen An An for a long time, and it was the time when they couldn't finish talking.
Chu Xia went upstairs and Jiang Shengnan went to work, leaving the living room open for these teenagers to play.
"An'an, will you participate in the National Mathematics League this time?"
Xiaohe couldn't wait to ask. He was already sure that he could participate in the physics competition.
"will go."
Hu and several other teenagers patted Cen Huaian and Xiaohe on the shoulders, with expressions of admiration on their faces: "You said that we all grew up eating. How did your brains grow? Why are you so smart?"
Cen Huaian looked at him: "It looks normal."
He stood next to the pile of melon and fruit snacks he bought today, preparing to put dried fruits and beef jerky on plates for his friends to eat, but Hu Shangshan refused.
"We can catch it ourselves if we want to eat it. It's not troublesome enough for you to do this."
Cen Huaian still packed the things and said, "This is hygienic."
"An'an, can I ask my uncle to come and watch us play Go?"
Cen Huaian: "Okay."
Xiaohe pursed his lips and smiled, and immediately walked out to call his uncle.
Hu Cengceng glanced at his back, grabbed a handful of raisins and ate them, then turned to Cen Huai'an and said, "You guys are going to play Go again. Xiaohe can't beat you every time, so why are you still so enthusiastic about playing chess?" ?"
"Because he wants to surpass me."
Xiaohe regards Cen Huaian as the goal he strives to catch up with. Every time he plays chess with Cen Huaian, it is not only to win, but also to test whether the gap between himself and Cen Huaian has narrowed.
When Xu Lishu followed Xiaohe, several teenagers had already turned on the large color TV and were watching TV happily.
"Journey to the West" is currently on the air and is the favorite TV series for all children and adults. Many children are playing outside. They take a stick and pretend to be Sun Wukong. They play the role of Monk Tang and seek scriptures from the West. This is also the most popular game among children nowadays.
Hu climbed out of nowhere and found a stick, imitating the appearance of Sun Wukong in the TV series, and said to Cen Huaian: "Master, there are monsters ahead, let me go and check them out!"
Then he went directly towards Xiaohe and Xu Lishu: "Where is the monster? Tell me your name quickly!"
Xu Lishu and Xiaohe also cooperated with him and said: "This little master, we are not monsters. We came to your master to discuss Buddhist Go."
Hu Cengceng circled around the two of them, put up a pergola to look at them carefully, and jumped in front of Cen Huaian again: "Master, Lao Sun's piercing eyes have seen them, they are not monsters."
Cen Huaian: "Then let them come."
Xu Lishu and Xiaohe walked over, unable to hold back the smiles on their faces and said, "Chang's outfit looks very much like Sun Wukong. Master An An is the most similar."
Hu Shangceng scratched his face and laughed "hehe" twice: "I also think An An looks very much like Tang Monk, fair and pure. If he talks more, he will look more like him!"
Cen Huaian:......
He looked at Xiaohe: "Start?"
Xiaohe lowered his head and found that Cen Huaian had already laid out the chessboard, sat opposite him and said, "Let's begin."
Xu Lishu stood beside the two of them and watched them playing chess seriously. Hu Cengden and the others lowered the volume of the TV, then simply turned off the TV and gathered around to watch.
They didn't know who could win, but because Cen Huaian and Xiaohe's expressions were too serious, they felt excited as they watched.
This time Cen Huaian slowed down his speed in playing chess, not pursuing a quick win like he did in the training camp.
After watching for a long time, Xu Lishu realized that his nephew could not defeat Cen Huaian, and Cen Huaian was giving way to Xiaohe.
He was surprised but not surprised. On the plane, he watched Cen Huaian and Chu Xia play backgammon, and felt that Cen Huaian was good at chess.
It's just that he didn't get the certification at the time, and he didn't expect that at such a young age, he would learn Go so well, better than some adults he had seen who had played chess since childhood.
Xu Lishu looked more seriously and frowned unconsciously. He not only analyzed Xiaohe's thoughts on playing chess, but also analyzed Cen Huai'an's layout.
The more he looked at it, the more wonderful it became, and it was also very inspiring to him.
At the end of the game, Xiaohe lost again without any surprise.
Hu and the other teenagers all sympathized with him, patting him on the shoulders and saying, "We'll fight again next time, we'll fight again next time."
Then he said to Cen Huaian: "An'an, it doesn't matter if you say your grades are good, why are you so good at Go? You must not let my mother find out, or I will die! There is a Xiaohe who compares with me every day. It's painful."
Several teenagers laughed "haha", obviously knowing how Hu Shengsheng was forced to study by his mother.
Xu Lishu kept watching the chess game. When Cen Huai'an was about to clean up, he stopped him: "Let me watch for a while. Your idea of playing chess in this game is something I have never thought of. Can you tell me your thoughts? "
Cen Huaian put down his hand, looked at him, nodded, sat down in front of the chess game again, pointed at the chess game and started with his layout.
He planned the game according to Xiaohe's idea of playing chess. Otherwise, Xiaohe would have been very frustrated in this game.
Cen Huaian didn't say that, but Xiaohe himself could tell that he was being let down again. He pursed his lips tightly and stared at the chessboard.
After Cen Huaian finished speaking, Xiaohe immediately asked Cen Huaian: "An'an, has my chess skill improved?"
"Yes, great progress."
Xiaohe's mood improved, but he was still confused: "Then why can't I defeat you?"
Cen Huaian: "Because I am also making progress."
Xu Lishu patted Xiaohe's head. If Xiaohe's talent in Go was eight points, then Cen Huaian's talent was ten points.
One point is an insurmountable gap, so Xiaohe wants to catch up with Cen Huaian, unless Cen Huaian stops learning Go from now on, while Xiaohe keeps learning.
"Your idea has shown signs of loosening my current bottleneck. An'an, do you have time to play a game of chess with me? Any time is fine." Xu Lishu asked Cen Huai'an in a sincere tone.
Cen Huaian went out to the market today and played a game of chess with Xiao He. He felt a little tired indeed. He nodded and said, "Let's play tomorrow."
"good."
Xu Lishu continued to think about the chess game, while Cen Huaian was surrounded by teenagers such as Hu Panshan and Xiaohe, eating, talking, and watching "Journey to the West".
*
Ganzhou Tiangong Base.
Cen Zhengnian reunited with his old colleagues here. When Yu Tian went to pick up everyone, his voice was choked up when he saw Cen Zhengnian.
"Alas, Zhengnian, I am not capable enough to go over to find you."
When Cen Zhengnian left before, Yu Tian wanted to work hard and transfer to the capital to work with him.
It's just that there are not many such opportunities. Yu Tian has performed very well at Ganzhou Tiangong Base, and he hasn't waited yet.
Cen Zhengnian hugged him hard, let go and patted his shoulder and said, "I heard about your deeds in Tiangong in the capital. Your failure to go to the capital has nothing to do with your ability."
The two of them worked together at Tiangong Base back then. Cen Zhengnian knew Yu Tian's abilities very well, and he was just teasing himself.
Yutian immediately laughed happily and said, "You still understand me."
Ye Xingxiu looked at Cen Zhengnian at Tiangong Base as if he had returned to his hometown, and looked curious: "This is where you worked before you were transferred?"
Cen Zhengnian nodded.
But even after returning to his old workplace, Cen Zhengnian didn't have much time to catch up with his former colleagues. They came with a mission.
People at Tiangong Base are also responsible for helping with experiments.
Now only the final materials are left to assemble and launch.
However, the details of assembly are also very troublesome. If you don't pay attention, if a screw is wrong, the launch will fail, and there must be no errors in the various data.
Cen Zhengnian was so busy that he lost track of time. Because it was a confidential mission, he couldn't even call home or write a safety letter after arriving.
Every night, Cen Zhengnian lay on the bed in his dormitory after work, not daring to think about Chu Xia and An An, for fear that the thought would make him uncontrollable.
So he just wanted to work, recalling all the details of the day and seeing if anything went wrong. I fell asleep thinking about it and got up the next day to continue working.
Originally, Cen Zhengnian thought that only the final stage was left, and the launch test should not take too long.
But this is obviously not the case when working. Various minor situations will always occur during the period, including materials and data.
Everyone worked day and night, and the test was not launched as scheduled because the preparatory work before launch was not completed.
Cen Zhengnian's work cannot be rushed. The more urgent it is, the more likely it is that problems will arise. If the preparations are not done well and the launch really fails, the consequences will be much longer than the preparation time.
Cen Zhengnian is the person in charge of the task. He does not allow failures due to insufficient preparation, so he strives for excellence in every job.
Ye Xingxiu and Yu Tian were both extremely tired and had no time to think about things at home.
"Cen Zhengnian, you are simply inhuman! Look how you tortured all of us?"
Yu Tian also felt anxious about the snacks, and he also felt that he couldn't bear it.
"Zheng Nian, since you left the base, I have rarely been as busy as I am now." He said with a smile. Although he felt tired, Yu Tian enjoyed this feeling of tiredness.
Cen Zhengnian was still thinking about a data assembly problem just now. Hearing what the two of them said, he raised his eyes and said, "Finish your work early and go home early. And if you are not serious enough now, who will be responsible if there is a problem with the launch? You guys?" ?"
Ye Xingxiu and Yu Tian shook their heads and said nothing.
This is the country's latest key task. Success will bring China to a new stage in this regard. No one dares to bear the responsibility for failure.
No one said it was hard anymore, they just worked hard.
If Chu Xia knew that Cen Zhengnian was also in Ganzhou in the northwest, she would definitely not let Cen Zhengnian celebrate the New Year alone.
But neither of them knew that the other had come to Ganzhou.
Xu Lishu came to Cen Huai'an to play chess at the agreed time the next day, and Xiaohe and Hu Cengshan also joined him happily.
"Uncle Xu, who do you think will win when you play chess with An An?"
Xu Lishu: "I can't say for sure."
Hu Shangceng touched his chin, with curiosity in his eyes, and looked at Xu Lishu: "Uncle Xu, aren't you afraid of losing? An An is very powerful."
Xu Lishu still smiled and answered him with a good attitude: "If you don't play chess with others because you are afraid of failure, then there is no need to continue learning Go. What you pursue in chess is progress, whether you win or lose. A learning."
Hu Shangceng nodded thoughtfully, but he couldn't think of something that complex in his mind. He could easily understand one sentence: "Playing chess with others is learning. Then when I play chess with others, I am also learning, right?"
Xiaohe said from the side: "No, you just think you look cool after winning."
Hu Shengsheng said "hehe" with a smile and scratched his head: "It would have been so handsome if I won!"
The group of people walked and talked, and soon arrived at Cen Huai'an's house.
He was sitting on the sofa watching TV, peeling an apple in his hand. Chu Xia sat next to him, with sliced apples on the plate in front of her.
Seeing Hu Cengceng and others coming in, Chu Xia invited them to eat fruit. In addition to apples, there were also frozen pears and oranges in the house.
It's the time to pick oranges in the south. Oranges are very sweet. If it weren't for the fear of getting angry, I wouldn't be able to restrain myself from eating them in early summer.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here to play chess with An An."
Xu Lishu greeted Chu Xia first.
Chu Xia waved her hand nonchalantly: "Come on, don't be polite here."
Cen Huai'an handed the peeled apple to Chu Xia, then stood up and looked at Xu Lishu and said, "Uncle Xu, do you want to go down now?"
"Down."
The two of them set up a chessboard, guess first, and play chess.
Xu Lishu originally wanted Cen Huaian to take Heizi first, but Cen Huaian refused.
"We don't need to release water."
Xu Lishu discovered that Cen Huai'an was indeed very strong. He had not fully utilized his abilities when he was with Xiao Hexia.
Chu Xia sat next to Cen Huaian while gnawing an apple, while Hu Cengceng and others surrounded the two people, one large and one small.
Xiaohe could understand the chess game, and the expression on his face was more nervous than when he was playing chess. He found that the uncle he thought was powerful could not win against Cen Huai'an quickly.
Only then did Xiaohe have a deeper understanding of the terrifying power of Cen Huai'an, and his whole heart began to sink.
The chess game between the two is progressing to a fierce stage. If whoever has the upper hand will win, whoever has the upper hand will have a very small chance of winning.
At this time, voices came from the door, including Jiang Shengnan, who was familiar to Chu Xia, and Xi Wang, who made her frown when she saw him.
Jiang Zhengshi's son and daughter were also talking excitedly: "Grandma, the soldier just now was so handsome! Can I also wear a military uniform and go to the wooden warehouse?"
"You can wear military uniform, but you can't play in Mikura."
Cen Huaize also pestered Jiang Shengnan, saying that grandpa must have a wooden warehouse and let him touch it.
Cen Zhengshi was also in the army, and he had met the soldiers in the army and Mucang Cen Huaize. But in dad's army he couldn't touch these.
Cen Huaize knew that his grandfather had a high position and great power, so he wanted to realize his wish to touch and open the wooden warehouse here.
Jiang Shengnan could obey Cen Huaize and pamper him in trivial matters, but she would not pamper him in big matters.
"No, no one can touch your grandfather's wooden warehouse except himself."
Cen Zhengshi scolded Cen Huaize not to make unreasonable demands. The army is not his home and he cannot do whatever he wants.
"Mom, this kid wants to play with the wooden barn at home, you don't have to worry about him."
Jiang Shengnan smiled and opened the door to the living room. Except for Cen Huaian and Xu Lishu who were playing chess, Chu Xia and the others who were watching chess in the living room all looked in the direction of the door.
"Mom, eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law..."
Chu Xia stood up to greet them, looked at Jiang Shengnan with a smile and said, "Mom, An An and Li Shu are playing chess."
When Xi Wang heard this, he smiled and said: "Is An'an still learning Go now? He will be in the third grade of junior high school this year. In early summer, as someone who has been through this, I kindly tell you that if you don't review with all your heart, you will easily fail the entrance examination. Xiao Zewo also specially accompanied him to study, and collected all the things that had nothing to do with study for him, so that he could be admitted to the best high school in our city."
This was uncomfortable to hear. Chu Xia also looked at her with a smile: "Really? Congratulations to you and Ozawa. My An'an doesn't need my supervision. After all, he won the first prize in the National Junior High School Mathematics League and took the exam. It's a good high school, no problem."
The smile on Xi Wang's face was a little forced: "Then... An An is quite powerful."
After speaking, he pulled Cen Huaize and asked Jiang Shengnan: "Mom, where should we live?"
Jiang Shengnan took them to the room on the first floor.
"Isn't there a room on the second floor?" Xiwang looked upstairs and said, "Mom, let's live upstairs as a family."
"Chu Xia and An An are living upstairs."
Xi Wang glanced at Chu Xia and Cen Huai'an, and continued to smile: "There are many rooms upstairs, so we will be neighbors with Chu Xia and the others."
Why can't they live upstairs? She and Cen Zheng are the eldest. They should first ask their opinions on where to live in the house.
Chu Xia looked at Xi Wang and talked. Xi Wang always liked to have the upper hand in the family's interactions.
Jiang Shengnan said: "There are clutter in other rooms upstairs and they are not cleaned up..."
Before Jiang Shengnan finished speaking, Cen Zhengshi grabbed Xiwang, looked at Jiang Shengnan and said, "Mom, we live downstairs."
Xiwang was still frowning and a little dissatisfied, Cen Zhengshi said directly: "If you want to live upstairs, you can clean it up yourself."
She shut up.
Cen Zhengshi and his wife lived in one room, while Cen Huaize and Cen Huaixin each lived in another room.
Cen Zhengnian and Cen Zhengshi's rooms used to be downstairs, but now the things in Cen Zhengnian's room have been moved upstairs to Chuxia and Cen Huai'an's room, and most of them have been sent to the capital.
So Cen Zhengnian's room was originally packed up for Cen Huaize to live in, Cen Huaixin stayed in the previous guest room, and Cen Zhengshi and Xiwang stayed in his own room.
"Your parents are just partial." Xi Wang said as soon as he entered the room.
"Why are my parents partial?" Cen Zhengshi changed his coat, frowned and looked at Xiwang: "Don't get into trouble whenever you go back to my parents' house. You never look for trouble in your mother's house."
Xiwang said "hum": "That's because my mother loves me the most, and our family valued us the most. You said you are the boss, why can't we choose the house first?"
Cen Zhengshi: "Because you have never been to the northwest before, and my brothers and sisters have been here before, first come, first served. Besides, my parents have done a good job for us, and my father helped transfer my job."
Xiwang was silenced by what he said, but she had other ideas.
Cen Huaize and Cen Huaixin were not interested in playing in the room. As soon as they put their luggage away, they went straight to the big color TV in the living room.
Regardless of whether others are watching it or not, Cen Huaize wants to watch his favorite "Journey to the West" anyway.
Cen Huaixin and Cen Huaize were competing to watch the TV series. She wanted to watch "Dream of Red Mansions", and the two started arguing in front of the TV. Not only could they not watch it, but they were blocking the TV series and no one else around them could see it.
Moreover, their voices were too loud, and Cen Huaixin's voice was sharp and sharp. Xu Lishu was so disturbed that he could not concentrate on playing chess at all.
He looked at Cen Huai'an sheepishly: "An'an, let's go to another place?"
Cen Huaian is a person who is not often disturbed by external objects while playing chess, but this time he also felt upset when he listened to the quarrel between the two.
"Okay, go to my room."
They carried the chess game and prepared to go upstairs.
The quarrel between Cen Huaize and Cen Huaixin became more and more fierce, and Jiang Shengnan's attempts to dissuade them were of no use. The two of them were arguing like this at home. As they were arguing, they started to fight. At some point, a slipper in Cen Huaize's hand flew towards Cen Huaian.
Seeing that the slippers were about to fall on the chessboard, Cen Huai'an took the chess basket with most of the chess pieces on the chessboard with his backhand, and hit it with skill. The slippers were sent in the direction it came from, hitting Cen Huaize directly on the head.
"Who hit me? Who hit me?"
Cen Huai'an signaled Xu Lishu to put down the chessboard first. He turned to look at Cen Huaize with a cold look in his eyes: "Isn't it normal for your own slippers to fly towards you?"
Just as Cen Huaize was about to curse, he met Cen Huaian's eyes and remembered what happened to him before.
He couldn't beat Cen Huaian at all. He stopped his arrogance and complained directly to Jiang Shengnan: "Grandma, Cen Huaian hit me!"
Jiang Shengnan: "I didn't see it just now. Ozawa, the slippers in your hand are your own. Why would An An hit you with your slippers? He is so far away from you. And you are an older brother, you have to act like an older brother. , don't take slippers at every turn."
Cen Huaize was so angry that he threw his slippers on the ground and sat on the sofa staring at the TV without speaking.
He looks like this, and he is not as sensible as Xiaohe and others who are younger than him.
Jiang Shengnan wanted to educate him when she saw his appearance, but he was her grandson. She endured her temper, looked at Cen Huai'an and said, "An'an, don't go upstairs. It's not easy to carry. Go to the study and play chess."
She led the way directly, opened the door of the study and said, "There are no confidential documents here. Your grandfather and I don't use the study very much now. Chu Xia, An'an, if you want to read and play chess, just come here."
Jiang Shengnan pulled the stool away to make room for Chu Xia and Cen Huai'an, and asked An An and Xu Lishu to put down the chessboard.
When the door to the study was closed, very few sounds were heard in the hall.
Hu Shangceng patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. He put his arm around Cen Huai'an's shoulders and asked, "An'an, is that really your cousin?"
Cen Huaian nodded.
Hu Shengshang and Xiaohe looked at each other with expressions that were hard to explain.
"An'an, you should go to our house to play in the future. My mother likes people with good grades. If she knew your grades, she would definitely treat you better than me."
"Yes, yes, Xiaohe usually goes to Climb's house, and Climbing's mother likes Xiaohe very much."
Other friends echoed.
They sympathized with Cen Huaian when they thought of living with two people outside who didn't care about anyone else.
Cen Huaian nodded: "Okay."
He didn't feel sorry for himself. Cen Huaize and Cen Huaixin couldn't take advantage of him. He had the same mentality as Chu Xia, that is, he would not like them and did not want to live with them and make himself upset.
Cen Huaian and Xu Lishu continued to play chess, and from time to time they could hear the quarrels between Cen Huaize and Cen Huaixin in the living room, mixed with Cen Zhengshi's scolding voice.
Jiang Shengnan couldn't control her two children, so she frowned and went to find Cen's father and tell him about the situation at home.
"It's been two years. Why haven't Ozawa and Xinxin made any progress at all? They've even fallen behind as they studied. Didn't Zhengshi say that he should go home and educate his children well?"
Father Cen looked at the document, his expression unchanged.
"Look at your age at the age of three. The eldest is busy with work, so Xiwang takes care of her more at home. She is too doting on the two children. It is normal for the two of them to grow up like this."
After saying that, Father Cen raised his head and sighed: "They live too far away from us. Even if we want to educate them, we can't reach them."
If the two children were also in the northwest, Father Cen would never let them grow up like this.
In the evening, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep. Cen's father called Cen Zhengshi to the study.
"Have you taken care of Ozawa and Xinxin?"
Cen Zhengshi also had a headache and frowned: "I took care of them. But they are older, and the more I fight, the more rebellious I become, and I won't even listen to them if they are told lightly."
Father Cen slapped the table: "They're all excuses! If you want these two children to be useless and cause big trouble in the future, you can continue to let Xi Wang pamper them."
Cen Zhengshi also thought about the seriousness of the problem, and his expression suddenly changed: "Dad, what should I do?"
"Don't feel bad for them, and train the two children well. The best way is to send them to the army to train with the new recruits for three months."
After Cen's father finished speaking, Cen Zhengshi showed confusion on his face: "Dad, recruit training is very hard. Ozawa and Xinxin have never done heavy work at home. Can they persist?"
He knew the hardships of the new recruits, so he hesitated to send his two children there. Moreover, this decision, without even thinking about it, would be met with opposition from Xiwang, and even her family members would be persuaded.
Father Cen: "That's why I say you can't feel bad."
He has given him the method. If Cen Zheng can't make a decision now, Cen's father will help him make it. The children of the Cen family can be incompetent, but they cannot be fundamentally broken.
The next day, Cen Zheng made the decision to send Cen Huaize and Cen Huaixin to the new military camp. I don't have time to train for three months now, but I can still take a one-month winter vacation.
Not only the two of them, Cen Huaian also went together.
Cen Zhengnian and Cen Zhengshi often trained with the army when they were young, and their grandchildren are no exception.
So Father Cen went directly to ask Cen Huaian if he was willing to train with the soldiers?
In early summer, she felt it was too hard. During the Chinese New Year, she hoped that Cen Huaian could be more relaxed. But Cen Huaian agreed. He wanted to experience the military style like his father did when he was a child.
As soon as Cen Huai'an decided to go, Hu Shang and other children also made trouble for their family members to go too.
This is a good thing. Their parents were so happy that they finally saw them collectively doing something positive. How could they disagree? They were afraid that the children would regret it, so they packed them up and sent them in quickly.
As long as this training starts, you can't come out until it's over, and adults can't come in to visit.
Because there is a Spring Festival in the middle, parents can send dumplings on this day, but they cannot watch them. Otherwise, if you feel sorry for the child, all the previous training will be in vain.
This was Cen's father's rule to prevent Cen Zhengshi and Xiwang from picking up the child halfway.
Cen Huaize and Cen Huaixin were extremely reluctant when they were sent away, but their arms could not hold their thighs up. Cen Zhengshi grabbed one with each hand and pushed them all into the car.
Xiwang quarreled with Cen Zhengshi that day: "We came back to celebrate the New Year, not for you to discipline the children! Where did you send Xiaoze and Xinxin? Go and pick them up for me!"
Cen Zhengshi rubbed his brows: "I can't pick it up, and I don't know where it is."
"I'm going to find your dad." Xiwang stood up and was about to go over, but was stopped by Cen Zhengshi: "You keep doting on you, do you really want Xiaohe and Xinxin to become like Cheng Kai in the family home?"
Cheng Kai is a child from the family home that Xiwang is familiar with. He is a few years older than Cen Huaize and he hangs out all day long.
Fighting, bullying others, smoking and drinking, making his parents very angry every day in the family home, wiping his butt everywhere all day long.
Xiwang also thought of Cheng Kai. He had been in trouble several times. Will Cen Huaize become like him? She didn't believe it.
"Ozawa and Xinxin are not like this."
But her own tone of voice was very weak.
"Whether it is or not, An'an, Climbing and the other kids have gone, and no one has said they want to take them back. If you don't feel embarrassed, just pick them up."
When Xiwang heard that he had completely stopped, she didn't feel embarrassed, but she was afraid that if she brought Cen Huaize and Cen Huaixin back, other children would laugh at them.
Chu Xia is not worried about Cen Huaian's training situation. He runs and practices martial arts every day at home, and he can withstand the intensity of training in the army.
She was only worried that An An would not be able to eat or live well there.
And without Cen Huaian at home, Chu Xia felt that life was even more difficult. She locked herself in the study day after day, reading medical books and developing the prescriptions her grandfather had left for her. Apart from eating, she rarely had any contact with Xiwang Cen Zhengshi.
Xiwang, on the other hand, went out often and gradually got on better terms with the neighbors in the nearby family homes.
*
Cen Huaian and the others were not at the Ganzhou army headquarters at this time, but at a place not far from Ganzhou dedicated to training soldiers.
The training was more difficult and tiring than that of the soldiers in the Ganzhou army where they lived in early summer.
Cen Huaize and Cen Huaixin had just arrived at the training ground, and they hadn't realized how hard it was here. They felt like they were in their father's army. They looked around curiously and wanted to take a stroll.
Cen Huaize asked the coach innocently and boldly: "When can I touch Mucang?"
He came here just to build a wooden warehouse, otherwise he wouldn't have come.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was punished: "If you talk in the team, you have to shout a report and run five laps around the playground!"
"Five rounds? I won't go. Why should I listen to you? I'm not your soldier."
Cen Huaian looked to the side, really not wanting to look at Cen Huaize who looked so stupid and confused about the situation.
The coach quickly let Cen Huaize know the consequences of what he said.
There are many ways to control people in the army. After all, the new military camps recruit so many people from all over the world every year, and there is no one. If there is no way to control them, then leave the army alone.
The coach forced me to stand first, and I was locked in a small dark room until I was hungry.
Cen Huaixin helped Cen Huaize speak and was imprisoned together.
I don't know what the two of them went through in the small dark room, but when they came out with fear on their faces, they followed the coach's orders and trained obediently, never daring to say a word "no" again.
Although Cen Huaize and Cen Huaixin's movements were very non-standard and they were often scolded by the coach, they never dared to refute once.
Cen Huaian became curious about the small black room, and so were Hu Shang and others.
"An'an, how scary is that little dark room? Have Cen Huaize and Cen Huaixin changed too much?"
Cen Huaian was washing his hands. He lowered his head and applied soap and said, "If you want to know, make a mistake on purpose and go in and take a look."
Cen Huaian actually thought about it this way, but he didn't want to make a mistake on purpose. Grandpa was watching the training process. He wanted to show his best side.
Hu Shengsheng shook his head without thinking: "Forget it then. What if you go in and beat me up? If my mother finds out later, she will have to beat me up again."
Cen Huaian wiped the water off his hands: "Then train hard."
There is still a gap in the intensity of Cen Huaian's training compared to the training of new recruits. Several children have just started. Too much intensity is not a good thing for them, and the training needs to be gradual.
At this time, the difference between those who have practiced martial arts and those who have not practiced martial arts comes out. No matter how exhausted Cen Huaize and Cen Huaixin's physical strength is, Cen Huaian's condition is as good as the movements trained by some veterans.
The more the coach looked at him, the more he liked him. Isn't this a good prospect for the army? He paid more attention to Cen Huai'an's training. As a result, Hu Cengden and the others returned to the dormitory and kept wailing: "Today the coach beat the chicken." Blood? Why are you training so hard?"
Cen Huaian didn't know it was him, but he also felt that the amount of training was heavy.
His own body could bear it, but Hu and his friends had never learned martial arts. They usually only ran with adults, so this aggravated training was unbearable.
Cen Huaian said: "I'll go find the coach."
His martial arts teacher said before that they are growing physically and training too intensely will have an impact on their physical development.
The coach was a little surprised to see Cen Huaian coming over, but he didn't show it on his face. The expression on his face was still as serious, and because of his dark face, he looked even more majestic.
"Cen Huaian, what do you want from me?"
Cen Huaian talked about the intensity of today's training: "Coach, according to the previous intensity, our bodies can just bear it. At this intensity, everyone will struggle."
The coach put down the pen in his hand: "Do you find it difficult?"
Cen Huaian: "It's not difficult."
"You can bear it, why can't they?"
Cen Huaian: "I have been a martial artist since I was a child."
A flash of light flashed in the coach's eyes: "I can reduce the intensity, but do you know that as a recruit, you have to pay a price for questioning your superiors?"
