Chapter 6 The Minister of Armed Forces Receives Sailing in Person
The life of Lao Cheng's family is getting more and more prosperous as time goes by, but the opposite is true for Lao Xu's family.
The reason is that Xu Baishun is too stubborn.
He wouldn't listen to anyone's opinions. Jackie Chan had hinted at his ways of making money several times, but he didn't take it to heart at all.
The eldest son, Xu Yile, was completely unable to keep up with his IQ. Jackie Chan couldn't figure it out even after talking to him for a long time.
The second eldest son, Xu Erhe, listens to Jackie Chan very much and has always had the "ambition" to make a lot of money. However, starting capital and age are obstacles.
The third child, Xu Sanduo, has not grown much in recent years. He is only 1.6 meters tall. He is no longer active at all, and his personality has become more and more dull.
Fortunately, through Jackie Chan's early enlightenment, Xu Sanduo, who already had a good memory, has become very clear-eyed, and his reading scores have always been very good.
Even though he was thousands of miles away from Jackie Chan, he was easily admitted to the best middle school in the county.
When a normal family encounters this situation, they will definitely find a way to send Xu Sanduo to high school, and then go to college to earn a living.
However, this is not realistic for the Xu family.
The nine-year compulsory education does not include high school. Xu Baishun spent all his family money to support Xu Sanduo in high school, let alone the more expensive university.
In addition, Xu Baishun has always had an obsession. The Xu family must have a son to serve in the army.
The eldest brother, Yile, was rejected in the preliminary review because his IQ was not high enough. The second child, who had no ambition to be in the army and was a thief, played some tricks and was screened out.
Now only the third child, Xu Sanduo, is left.
As the last hope of the Xu family, Xu Baishun placed all his obsession on Xu Sanduo and absolutely did not allow any accidents to occur.
Xu Sanduo was introverted and well-behaved, so naturally he did not dare to disobey his father's orders, so he decided to join the army.
Because the county seat was a bit far from his hometown, and the time for the preliminary examination had already begun, Jackie Chan simply did not go back to his hometown with Cheng Guoqiang, and decided to go back after the preliminary examination.
When Jackie Chan went to college, his registered permanent residence was not transferred with him, but he stayed in his hometown.
Therefore, as early as more than a month ago, I called back and persuaded my father, Cheng Guoqiang, to sign up on his behalf as a village cadre.
It was precisely because they knew in advance that Jackie Chan was going to join the army that Capital University subsequently contacted Cheng Guoqiang because Jackie Chan dropped out, but nothing happened.
The two of them rested in the county town for one night that day.
The next day, Chengcai rushed to the hotel to meet up, and the three father and son went straight to the Armed Forces Department.
Cheng Guoqiang also specially put on his uniform, which he brought back when he retired from the army. He has been keeping the new military uniform that he was reluctant to wear.
Today, the two sons went to the preliminary hearing together, and the father had to be in high spirits.
A few minutes after Jackie Chan and the other two walked into the Armed Forces Ministry, they were stopped by a guard wearing a military uniform but without a rank and serving as a militia member in the Armed Forces Ministry.
"You are Jackie Chan, right? Which one is in Rongshu Village?"
The face of the militiaman who spoke was full of childishness. He was only 17 or 18 years old and only a little over 1.6 meters tall. He had to look up to see Jackie Chan.
Feeling the two-head-tall giant Jackie Chan at close range made him feel dizzy on the spot.
How is it possible to grow so tall??
Jackie Chan is used to this kind of look, after all, he will be watched wherever he goes.
Thinking that since the guard knew his name and which village he came from, he must have received the order. Jackie Chan replied with some curiosity: "Yes, I am Jackie Chan. What can I do?"
Chengcai was very dissatisfied with being ignored by the guards. He came over and introduced himself: "I am Chengcai, and this is my brother. We are here for the preliminary physical examination."
Cheng Cai's introduction was ignored again, and the militiamen still looked at Jackie Chan blankly.
Cheng Guoqiang patted the militiaman on the shoulder and said politely with a smile: "Little comrade, if you have anything to do, just tell me quickly. We are still rushing to report it."
"oh oh."
The guard finally reacted and explained with an embarrassed smile: "Brother Jackie Chan is so famous in our county. Not only is he the provincial champion, he is also stronger than an ox and looks like a movie star.
I always thought it was a fake, how could someone in our small county be so awesome, but today I didn’t expect to see a real person, I’m so excited, hahaha.”
The guard was obviously not telling lies. His hands that kept grabbing his clothes showed how excited he was.
"That can still be a lie."
When Cheng Guoqiang heard someone praising his son, he immediately became excited.
"You also know that in Hong Kong, a great director named Shi Shisen came over there and asked him to make a movie. They only paid 10,000 yuan to make a movie, but he didn't even go."
"Ten... ten thousand?"
The guard's eyes were as wide as bells. To him, the money was an astronomical figure.
Households worth ten thousand yuan! Households worth ten thousand yuan!
It is synonymous with being rich these days.
"RMB 10,000 per movie, not all of them. A movie only lasts a few hours. You can't just make hundreds or thousands of movies a year."
Cheng Guoqiang didn't know how complicated filming was, so he just talked nonsense.
Jackie Chan couldn't laugh or cry at the side, and it was inconvenient to explain.
The old father only praised his eldest brother, and was distressed by being regarded as a talent in the air. He muttered to the side: "I just don't have a chance. If I were asked to take pictures, I would always be better than my eldest brother."
The guard is just a mountain boy who didn't finish junior high school. He came to the armed forces to work as a militia just to have enough to eat. He doesn't know anything about making movies.
He believed what Cheng Guoqiang said was true.
His eyes almost popped out of his sockets, and he stuttered in disbelief and said, "You can't make millions, tens of millions that year? Oh my god."
The guard was completely defeated at this moment, and his eyes were full of stars when he looked at Jackie Chan.
Jackie Chan couldn't stand the "obsession" of the guard. He looked like he wished he could turn into a woman and marry him, so he walked around the guard and walked inside.
When the guard saw Jackie Chan about to leave, it was then that he realized what he was here for.
He quickly trotted to catch up and said, "Brother Jackie Chan, I almost forgot about something important. Our minister has specifically told me that as soon as you come, I will take you to the conference room to entertain you well. You and my uncle come with me."
"Did you, the minister, specifically explain this?"
Jackie Chan's first reaction was a bit strange as to why the dignified Minister of Armed Forces wanted to meet him specifically, but after his second reaction, he understood.
When his father, Cheng Guoqiang, signed up for himself, he had already submitted all the information about himself.
These days, college students are assigned jobs, and every one of them can find a job after graduation, and they are the meat and potatoes of local governments.
It cannot be said that there are no compulsory soldiers, I can only say that there are not many of them in any province.
Not to mention that he was the provincial champion that year!
A prospective college graduate who had already completed his junior year, and who was from Capital University, the highest institution, actually dropped out of school at this time, retained his student status, and came back to serve in the military.
With this information placed on the table like this, no armed minister would be confused after reading it.
No matter what the reason was, Cheng Guoqiang's smile became even brighter when he heard the minister's name and saw his son, and he quickly urged: "The minister told you? Okay, come on, take us there quickly, don't let the leader wait.
long time."
The County Armed Forces Department occupies a large area, with only two buildings, and it can be reached within a few steps.
Jackie Chan and Cheng Guoqiang came to the reception room. Before they could take a sip of the tea poured by the guard, there were rapid and messy footsteps outside.
