Chapter 361 Invitation and Request
"Alas, it's a pity for Old Tian. He was about to live a good life, but he passed away! But this was also the goal he fought for! Since you are married to Dandan, you must take good care of Dandan! Don't let her down!" Uncle Wang said seriously.
"I know, Uncle Wang, don't worry, I will take good care of Sister Dan!" Zhao Cheng could only agree.
"Is this kid your third son?" Uncle Wang turned around and saw Zhao Weijun standing behind Zhao Cheng.
"Come over quickly and say hello to your Grandpa Wang!" Zhao Cheng pulled Zhao Weijun to the front.
"Hello, Uncle Wang, I am Zhao Weijun." At this time, Zhao Weijun put away his cynical attitude and saluted Uncle Wang like Zhao Cheng.
"Good boy, you look just like your father. In the future, you will become a glorious general of our army like your father! Don't let your father down!" Uncle Wang patted Zhao Weijun on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"I will definitely learn from my father and work hard to become a qualified successor to communism!" Zhao Weijun replied.
After hearing what Zhao Weijun said, Wang Bo and Zhao Chengdu smiled, and then everyone sat down and started eating.
"Xiao Zhao, when I heard that you were coming, I wanted to ask you to do me a favor. Is that possible?" After eating for a while, Uncle Wang patted Zhao Cheng's shoulder and asked in a calm tone.
"Uncle Wang, if you have any problems, just tell me. I will definitely do it for you beautifully!" Zhao Cheng thought to himself that there was indeed something wrong, but he agreed anyway.
"Okay, then I'll be frank. I know you have trained Lao Zhou a team of ace players in their military district. I hope you can also train a similar force for our military sub-district! I have already selected the people for you, you just need to train them. I don't ask for a battalion, I just want you to train me an elite squad!" Uncle Wang said.
"Uncle Wang, don't we have Li Yun's special forces brigade in Lanzhou? Don't he have enough people?" Zhao Cheng asked curiously.
"Don't mention it. You also know how large an area our entire military sub-district needs to manage. Moreover, we are too close to the border. There are always some shameless people crossing the border to come here and cause trouble. The number of people that Li Yun has is simply not enough! So each military sub-district has to find a solution on its own." Uncle Wang said a little unwillingly.
Zhao Cheng also understood what he was talking about. In recent years, more and more Central Asians have been secretly coming here, always looking to cause trouble. Wang Bo really needs some elite troops to deal with those emergencies.
"Okay, no problem, but I need you to tell Commander Zhou in Peking. I will help you solve this problem here temporarily. The training will be completed in about three months. After all, they are all selected top talents. What they lack is not combat effectiveness, but new combat methods and habits. This is easy to solve." Zhao Cheng said after thinking for a while.
"That's fine. Just rest assured and help me finish this job here first. I'm going to Peking for a meeting the day after tomorrow. Just tell Lao Zhou." Uncle Wang said to Zhao Cheng with a big laugh.
"Grandpa Wang, can I ask you a favor?" Zhao Weijun suddenly asked when he saw that his father had finished discussing the business.
"Oh? Weijun, is there anything you need Grandpa Wang's help with?" Uncle Wang looked at Zhao Weijun curiously.
"Grandpa Wang, I met a friend on the train here. She was an educated youth from Shanghai. She took the initiative to respond to the call to support border construction and was assigned to Shorbulak as a teacher. However, I heard that Shorbulak is filled with wind and sand all year round, and people have to fetch water more than ten miles away. It's really too difficult. Can you help her find another place?" Zhao Weijun said.
"Oh? What's this person's name? Why did you think of helping her move to another place? Did she take the initiative to find you?" Uncle Wang asked calmly.
"She didn't come to me on her own initiative. I just wanted to help her. We just met on the train. She took good care of me along the way, and I treated her as an elder. But I think she shouldn't go to such a cold and bitter place, traveling thousands of miles away from home. If she goes, she should let those men go." Zhao Weijun said naively.
"Haha, you cunning boy, if I ask you to go to a cold and bitter place to build our motherland, would you be willing to go?" Uncle Wang asked with a smile.
"Of course I am willing. My father told me that the whole country belongs to us. We should use our passionate emotions to overcome those difficulties and make our country strong as soon as possible!" Zhao Weijun said firmly.
Uncle Wang looked at Zhao Cheng and found that he had educated his child well. He was not as lawless as he had said in his previous letter. It was normal for children to be a little naughty.
"Okay, when the time comes, just ask your father to talk to our logistics director, and then I will be transferred to your boarding school to be a teacher." Uncle Wang said with a smile.
So the place where Zhao Weijun was exiled was decided, and Zhao Cheng didn't say anything. As for why he was no longer in Urumqi, it was because the situation there was very serious and the students didn't attend classes well. It would be better to go to Shihezi, where he could attend classes and exercise Zhao Weijun on a regular basis.
And the most important point is that one of Zhao Cheng’s comrades is the head of the Construction Corps in Shihezi, so he can help Zhao Cheng keep an eye on this little bastard.
These were all arranged by Zhao Cheng before coming, and Pingping also agreed. After all, Uncle Wang was Tian Huaizhong's comrade-in-arms, and he could not be compared with Zhao Cheng's comrades-in-arms. Uncle Wang was so busy that he had no time to take care of the bastard boy. It would be better to send him to his comrades-in-arms.
Coming out of Uncle Wang's workplace, Zhao Weijun was incredibly happy. Perhaps his third mother would soon find a place to stay. He had finally fulfilled his mother's wish.
"I say, can you please stop thinking about these things? Do you really want your father to find you a stepmother? How do you know that your mother is willing?" Zhao Cheng said helplessly, looking at his ignorant third son.
"My mother has told me many times that our family is small and we must expand the family! Look at those families, which one doesn't have a lot of brothers and sisters, and a lot of cousins? What about us? We only have a few brothers and sisters, too few people!" Zhao Weijun said righteously.
"You have thirteen brothers and sisters, which is already a lot. Besides, when you grow up, get married and have children, won't our family be bigger?" Zhao Cheng explained.
"How long do we have to wait? My eldest brother is only sixteen. It will take at least six or seven years for him to get married. With that time, you can give us five or six more brothers and sisters! My mother's wish is that we have a big family so that we won't be bullied, and there will be someone to help us when something happens, and we can unite to overcome difficulties together!" Zhao Weijun didn't think his father was right. He had to listen to his mother in everything.
Zhao Cheng was completely frustrated by his third son. "I'm going to have to give Pingping, that money-spending woman, a good lesson when I get back. What kind of thinking is this? More than ten aren't enough? How many more do you want?" Zhao Cheng thought to himself as he watched Zhao Weijun happily walking ahead.
After returning to the guesthouse, Zhao Cheng went straight back to his room to sleep. He knew that it would be better to let Zhao Weijun speak up himself rather than him, and it would also prevent Ye Juan from being bullied.
"Auntie Ye, open the door, it's Weijun!" Zhao Weijun went to find Ye Juan as soon as possible. Ye Juan was reading a book in the room, thinking about something. When she heard Zhao Weijun knocking on the door, she quickly opened the door and pulled Zhao Weijun into the room.
"You kid, you're shouting so loudly, aren't you afraid of disturbing other people's rest!" Ye Juan knocked on Zhao Weijun's head and said in a low voice.
"Aunt Ye, I have taken care of your matter. You don't have to go to Shorbulak. I asked my dad to find someone to transfer you to Shihezi Middle School as a teacher. You can teach me!" Zhao Weijun said happily.
"What? How is that possible?" Ye Juan couldn't believe what Zhao Weijun said and asked anxiously.
Although Ye Juan responded to the call to build the frontier, she found out today that Shorbulak is full of bitter springs. Not only is the environment harsh, but the people are also tough. It is not safe to go there alone.
She came here to build the frontier, not to die. She knew that it was already far enough for people from Shanghai to come to Xinjiang, and to be honest, Ye Juan was afraid to go to that kind of place again.
"Of course it's true. Tomorrow I will ask my father to help you with the paperwork. My father will also stay in Karamay for about three months. It happens that he is not far away and can take care of you and me!" Zhao Weijun dropped another bombshell.
"Your father is not going back to Peking? Why did he suddenly stay?" Ye Juan was also shocked by the news.
"From what I heard my father talking to Grandpa Wang, it seemed that he wanted my father to help train the troops, so my father will stay here for about three months." Zhao Weijun said.
"Ask your father to help train the troops? Isn't he a public security officer? How can he train troops?" Ye Juan asked curiously.
"Who told you that my father is just a policeman? He is also a soldier. My father has a coat that he never wears. Look at the logo on it, two bars and two stars! He is also a soldier now, but the army is confidential, so I don't know. My father participated in the North Korean War back then. I heard from my mother that my father has been awarded first-class merit three times!" Zhao Weijun excitedly shared with Ye Juan the glorious deeds of his father that he knew.
Ye Juan was even more curious now. Who exactly was this Zhao Cheng? He was the police station chief, a lieutenant colonel in the army, and he'd even been specifically retained by the commander to help train the troops?
"Aunt Ye, my dad has a comrade-in-arms in Shihezi, and he's a regimental commander. I'll be living in my dad's comrade-in-arms's house. Do you want to move in and live with us?" Zhao Weijun suddenly asked.
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? How can I live with you? I'm not related to you. I'm just a friend at most." Ye Juan's face turned red after what Zhao Weijun said, and she couldn't help but knock on Zhao Weijun's head again.
"You are my recognized third mother, how can it be okay? If not, I will go and live with you, and protect your safety at the same time! I heard that there are often bad guys crossing the border to cause trouble here! I have practiced martial arts and can shoot guns! I will ask my dad to get me a gun!" Zhao Weijun fantasized happily. This is the life he wanted, away from his parents' discipline, he can do whatever he wants!
