Chapter 881: Chapter 592: Not Falling for It
He knows very well his own worth, and a high-spirited person like Zhang Xiaofei probably doesn’t fancy him.
In elentary school, because his grades were poor, he repeated a grade and ended up in the sa class as Zhang Xiaofei. He ranked at the bottom, while Zhang Xiaofei was at the top. After elentary school, he returned ho to farm, but Zhang Xiaofei continued up to high school. If the Zhang family hadn’t stopped supporting her, she probably could have gone further.
Now that the country has resud college entrance exams, Zhang Xiaofei might have plans to pursue them too. So how could soone like him, a re soldier, even be in her sights?
If he doesn’t get into a military academy, it’s hard to have any big success in this lifeti. At most, his brother-in-law might help him beco a volunteer soldier, but becoming an officer is impossible given his level of education.
However, getting into a military academy is really challenging for him. After being here for a few months, he’s been studying desperately and has just reviewed his elentary school courses.
Several soldiers in his class who have a higher educational level agreed to tutor him in the junior high curriculum after the New Year. He’s determined to make sothing of himself, but deep down, he has no confidence in his success.
Considering everything, he decided to stop daydreaming.
Zhang Dongzi didn’t expect Luan Dajiang to answer so directly. He was stunned for a mont before asking, “Are you sure you’re telling the truth? Are you sure you don’t want to marry my sister?”
Luan Dajiang nodded without hesitation, “I’m sure!”
“Dajiang…” Zhang Dongzi’s attitude softened, “You’re denying it so eagerly, I know, it’s because you’re afraid of becoming in-laws with our family and having to help out.
Yes, I’m buttering you up because I want you to help a bit, but I’m capable. As long as you give a hand, I can make it work, and I promise not to trouble you in the future.
Moreover, I can guarantee that I can help you more in the future. Like father and son soldiers or brothers fighting tigers, although we’re not real brothers, with my sister in between, we’re practically like brothers, aren’t we?
In the military, without solid backing, it’s hard to get by. Your brother-in-law brought you in, but he can’t help you forever. What will you do if no one helps you then?
You say you’ve been in the army and have a good backing, but if you end up being demobilized, would you have the face to stay in the village? Would your parents be able to hold their heads up in public?
We juniors can’t just think of ourselves; we also have to think of our parents who’ve worried about us all their lives. Their reputation depends on us making sothing of ourselves, don’t you think?”
Luan Dajiang looked at Zhang Dongzi incredulously. He truly didn’t expect that even after he said so much, the other party could still calm down and persuade him like this. It seems he really doesn’t understand this forr brother of his at all.
“Dajiang, trust this once. If my sister is involved, I can’t possibly sche against you. Besides, I’ve never sched against you before, it was just youthful ignorance. I’ve realized my mistakes now; can you give a chance?”
“No.” Luan Dajiang quickly shook his head, “If you just want to socialize with , I have no objections. But if you want to use to et my sister and brother-in-law, I don’t have the authority for that, so please don’t trouble .”
“Dajiang, you’re speaking so eloquently now. If I hadn’t heard it myself, I wouldn’t believe such words ca from you.” Zhang Dongzi gave a thumbs-up, “I really underestimated you before. No wonder your brother-in-law is willing to help you. If you didn’t have skills, he wouldn’t help you, right?”
Without being obvious about it, Zhang Dongzi changed his strategy and started praising Luan Dajiang.
Zhao Qiliang hurried over with gifts, only to see Zhang Dongzi and Luan Dajiang chatting warmly. He unconsciously slowed his pace and, hearing what Zhang Dongzi said, he decided to stop and see Luan Dajiang’s reaction.
When Zhang Dongzi changed his strategy, Luan Dajiang felt a mont of happiness because this childhood friend, who always looked down on him, started to acknowledge him.
But soon he understood that the real purpose was still to use him to get closer to Lin Chuxia and Zhou Mikang. Although the other party didn’t know yet that his brother-in-law was Zhou Mikang, they knew his brother-in-law was a regint commander, and that was enough.
He felt a bit lost, but frankly speaking, he sowhat enjoyed this feeling. It made him feel that he was of so use, but on closer reflection, sothing seed off.
While he was mulling over it, Luan Dajiang began to praise him eloquently again.
This ti, he finally sorted it out: what the other party said wasn’t sincere, and the purpose was to confuse him enough to agree to his request.
After so long, they still thought he was a fool!
Just as he was about to get angry, he saw a car driving toward them. “It’s Chuxia and the others.” Zhao Qiliang gave him a push and went to greet them first.
The car door opened, and Chuxia and Luo Xiaoqiong got out.
“Brother, Dajiang, where are you planning to go?” Chuxia asked.
“We were just about to go pay a New Year visit to Aunt and Uncle.” Zhao Qiliang lifted the net bag, “Can’t show up empty-handed for the New Year, so I went back and brought so food.”
“Alright, take them over. I’m sure my parents will pack more for you to bring back.” Chuxia laughed and gave Luo Xiaoqiong a push, “Why are you acting so coy? It’s not the first ti eting them, so who are you trying to impress with that shyness?”
“Who’s being coy?” Luo Xiaoqiong rolled her eyes, “I was just thinking, has Luan Dajiang forgotten the lessons he learned?” She nodded her chin toward Zhang Dongzi, “Didn’t he say he wouldn’t hang out with him anymore? How co they’re together again?” (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.
