Chapter 208 Joy from Family

After Chu Ge came out of Academician Chen's office, he was about to go back to his office. From a distance, a guard hurriedly walked towards him.

"General Chu, there is someone looking for you at the gate. It's your sister." The guard said after saluting him.

"Okay, let's go right away."

Since the main road at the entrance of the Military Academy was banned, the intensity of security inspections has also increased a lot.

Chu Xiaowu is an example. She has been here so many times that the guards at the door know her, but someone from the institute still has to come out to pick her up.

There are many rules and regulations. It doesn’t work if you have a certificate, administrative level, or even make a phone call to confirm. It feels a bit like a military base.

Chu Ge walked to the gate and saw Chu Xiaowu standing upright next to the sentry post. His whole body was tense but his head was tilted to look into the gate. Chu Ge looked at it with a smile, shook his head, and trotted over.

"General Chu, salute!"

The guards at the door saluted at the same time. Chu Ge nodded and saluted them back, then pulled Chu Xiaowu, who was still in a daze, to the side to register.

Chu Xiaowu had not come back to her senses until now, looking back and forth between Chu Ge and the guards with her big eyes.

The two walked into the research institute, and Chu Xiaowu finally couldn't bear it any longer.

"Brother, why did they call you General Chu just now? You won't become a general, right?"

"What are you talking about? It seems like your brother doesn't hold a high position in your eyes..."

After Chu Ge finished speaking, he was ready to scare Chu Xiaowu.

"Oh, that's not the case. I, I just think this is too fast, isn't it? How long has it been since you were promoted from colonel to general?"

"The senior colonel was originally a general..." Chu Ge said speechlessly.

"Really?" Chu Xiaowu started to lick her fingers and muttered to herself.

"Don't bother, let's go, it's just lunch time."

After hearing this, Chu Xiaowu nodded, no longer worrying about the military rank, and followed Chu Ge obediently.

"Xiao Wu, how have you been at school lately?"

"It's pretty good, there's no difference, it's just..."

"What is it?" Chu Ge stopped, turned around and asked with concern.

"It's just that the school leaders are a little weird. They come to me every now and then to ask questions about this and that, which makes me very embarrassed."

Chu Ge felt relieved, but now it seemed that what happened that day had reached Principal Huang's ears.

"Where are the classmates?"

"Nothing has changed. The sisters in my dormitory are keeping my secret. Hehe, I also made a few new friends."

"Is your surname Xue?" Chu Ge blurted out.

"How do you know? Brother, have you planted spies around me? Well,,, no, maybe they are agents."

Chu Xiaowu looked at Chu Ge with wide eyes and asked nervously.

"Uh, her grandfather and I are relatively acquainted." Chu Ge knew that he had spilled the beans, so he replied perfunctorily.

After finishing their meal, the two found a place to sit down. Colleagues from the research institute greeted Chu Ge one after another. After Chu Xiaowu sat down, she looked at the lunch box with chicken legs and braised pork piled up in front of her.

"Brother, we have everything in our school. I'm not here to escape. You do this every time. If you continue like this, the aunts and uncles in your research institute will treat me like a loser."

"Anyway, you haven't gained weight no matter how much you have eaten since you were a child, so what are you afraid of? Now is the time to grow. Eat, and you are not allowed to leave until you finish eating."

"How long is it still? I'm already 20."

"Twenty?"

Chu Ge had forgotten that Xiao Wu was already a sophomore this year. All the plans for the New Year last year were rushed together. Chu Ge didn't go home either. He spent the New Year in the institute. He hadn't gone home for more than a year.

"Brother, it's going to be winter soon. Are you going home for the Chinese New Year this year? My mother kept asking me when I came home for the National Day. She was embarrassed to ask you because she was afraid of disturbing your work, so she kept asking me."

"This year, when will the Chinese New Year come this year?"

"End of January..."

"I should be able to go back by the end of January. I'll wait until I make arrangements. My parents are getting older. I felt very sorry for not going back last year. This year I have to go home to celebrate the New Year."

Chu Ge calculated in his mind that the lunar base should still be under construction at the end of January, but all work should be on track, and he could go back to Earth if he had nothing to do.

The aerospace carrier can fly at any speed and reach home in minutes. According to the regular plan a year ago, the aerospace carrier will accompany the engineering ship back to the earth for a replenishment.

After all, it is the New Year. Even if the personnel on the space carrier have to celebrate the New Year on the moon, the fleet will come back to supply some New Year items.

Sometimes, the atmosphere can greatly alleviate people's homesickness. Chinese people are particularly outstanding in this regard. Chu Ge already experienced it at the institute on New Year's Eve last year.

After dinner, Chu Xiaowu followed Chu Ge back to his dormitory. This sister always cleans her brother's dormitory from scratch every time she comes. Chu Ge can't stop him, so he just doesn't care anymore.

"Brother, is this the rank of a general?" Chu Xiaowu ran up to Chu Ge holding the military uniform and asked excitedly pointing to the epaulettes on it.

"This is called an epaulette."

"Hurry up, go to the bedroom and put on your military uniform. I'm going to make a video call with my parents later. My parents don't know about it yet. They will definitely be proud of you!"

Chu Ge took the military uniform, thought about it, and walked towards the bedroom obediently. Xiao Wu was right. He hadn't had time to tell his parents yet. This was a big deal and he had to tell them.

Chu Ge, who was neatly dressed, walked out of the bedroom. Chu Xiaowu circled around him and then extended her thumb to him.

"handsome!"

"You're still poor, hurry up and make a video call to your parents."

Chu Xiaowu made a face and dialed the phone obediently. After the video was connected, she first acted coquettishly with her parents, and then pushed Chu Ge out.

"Mom and Dad, see what's different about my brother today?" www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

Chu Ge squeezed Chu Xiaowu away, said hello to his parents, and then began to ask about the recent situation of the two elders. After chatting for a while, Chu Xiaowu squeezed back when he saw that he had completely strayed from the topic.

"Mom and Dad, do you see anything?"

"What are you looking at? But if you look closely, your brother seems to be a bit dark, but he is still my handsome son."

"Dad, what about you?"

Chu Xiaowu said and pointed the camera at Chu Ge's shoulder and stopped there.

"You kid, you are just making trouble here, your brother..."

Chu Zhongliang's pupils instantly focused on Chu Ge's epaulettes, and he said nothing.

"One flower, two stars, this, this is the epaulette of a lieutenant general."

"Why can't I understand what you are talking about?" Chu's mother was confused.

"Chu Ge, is this the title you just awarded?" Chu Zhongliang ignored Chu's mother beside him, but asked Chu Ge with a slightly trembling voice, and Chu Ge nodded vigorously.
