War Military: From 1978

Chapter 264 A Year at Military Academy!

"It can't be that fast, it should be by the end of the month or August!"

Inside the dormitory, after Chu An finished speaking, Qin Wanqiu remained silent for a long time.

Seeing her absent-minded look, Chu An straightened her shoulders, made her look at him, and said, "It'll only be a year. You'll be back soon!"

"Mmm!" Qin Wanqiu hummed softly.

Qin Wanqiu already knew that Chu An was going to military school, and she was happy for him.

Because this is a promising performance.

But the two had only recently confirmed their relationship, and now they were about to separate, so it was only natural that she felt reluctant.

But there's nothing Chu Anzhen can do about this.

You can't just disregard everything for love!
Moreover, if that were the case, the first person to disagree would likely be Qin Wanqiu, who is standing right in front of me.

"Study hard. Now that we're back in the rear, you'll have the time and energy to try and achieve your dream of going to university in two years!"

Qin Wanqiu, like Chu An, had taken the first college entrance examination before enlisting in the army.

However, the admission rate for this year's college entrance examination was extremely low, and she was a little short of the mark.

Originally, she had planned to continue taking the military exam in the army.

But now, having accepted Chu An's advice, she has decided to wait until she is discharged from the army to go home and take the college entrance examination.

Actually, it was Chu An who was worried about her.

She doesn't know what the future holds, but how could Chu An not know?
This battle will last another ten years.

Even if she stays in the military, finishes her military academy studies, and comes back, she will still have to return here.

Therefore, Chu An wanted her to retire directly after completing her mandatory military service.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back, and then I'll show you how well I've studied!" Qin Wanqiu smiled brightly.

Chu An's military exam was different from that of ordinary soldiers.

He was a cadre who had already been promoted.

You only need to study for one year to graduate from military academy.

"it is good!"

Chu An let go of her, then went to the side and found another towel to work with her.

Naturally, the conversation continued.

"Section Chief, there's a letter for you!" Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.

It's Cai Youhe.

The four people next door were cleaning together, which made them much faster. They had just finished and were going to help Chu An, but when they saw Qin Wanqiu coming over, they made an excuse to go see if there was any mail from home.

Unexpectedly, he actually went.

"it is good!"

Chu An arrived at the door.

"Sister-in-law, you and the section chief continue your conversation, we won't disturb you!"

After handing the letter to Chu An, Cai Youhe bent down and grinned at Qin Wanqiu inside the house.

Immediately, Qin Wanqiu's face flushed slightly.

Even though she and Chu An had already confirmed their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend, she was still a little shy about being called "sister-in-law".

"Fuck off!"

Chu An laughed and scolded, then turned around with the letter in his hand.

"It's in my house!"

Letters home were frequently exchanged between the soldiers on the front lines.

Even on the front lines, when soldiers waited for the mail clerk to come every few days, they could receive two or three letters at a time.

Parents these days feel proud and honored when their children defend their country.

But pride and arrogance do not mean that there will be no worries or concerns.

In an era without mobile phones, letters became the only means of communication.

"Take a look!" Qin Wanqiu urged softly, and even seemed somewhat eager to see it.

"it is good!"

Chu An smiled and nodded, tore open the envelope, and took out the letter.

At first glance, all I see is deep concern.

He didn't send letters home very frequently, but he still sent about two a month.

And now, he hasn't told his family about Qin Wanqiu, so all the letters he's written are just telling him to be careful and that everything is fine at home, so he shouldn't worry.

Naturally, he also mentioned some changes in his family.

Chu An received an honorary title and two first-class merits; such a major event could not possibly have no impact on his family.

The impact was significant and continues to this day.

The old couple were truly simple and honest; they had already told Chu An in their letter that they had refused all the preferential treatment offered by the local government.

They said that this was a merit earned by Chu An with his life, and they couldn't tarnish Chu An's reputation, much less use Chu An's merit to benefit other family members. Chu An didn't try to dissuade them.

The preferential treatment given by the local government was to arrange for the eldest son to work in a factory in town.

But more than that, Chu An actually preferred to go back and have a good talk with his boss, and arrange his future path.

As a reborn individual, he immediately stepped onto the battlefield upon his rebirth.

He had no choice in this matter, and he has no intention of retiring from the military for the time being.

Therefore, any other development path will depend on family members.

For example, engaging in business.

Chu An really needs money right now.

Although he had considered making money directly in the military when it was allowed to do business, that was still a long way off.

So it's good to let the eldest son, who is the accountant in the production team, do this job right now.

This will also improve our family's life.

"I hope the letter didn't introduce you to another girl."

Suddenly, Chu An, who was reading the letter, heard a soft female voice beside him.

Chu An's expression immediately froze.

He cursed Wang Xiaohu inwardly, calling him a bastard.

"Hehe, not at all, just some everyday family matters. I'll show you if you don't believe me!" Chu An generously handed over the letter.

The fact that his family arranged blind dates for him was revealed when Qin Wanqiu came to see Chu An while he was still in the reconnaissance platoon, and Wang Xiaohu just blurted it out.

"Hehe! Never mind, I was just kidding!" Qin Wanqiu's big eyes narrowed with laughter when she saw the letter Chu An handed her.

She liked Chu An's attitude, but she also respected Chu An's privacy.

Although this amount of privacy is actually completely unnecessary.

In any case, on the battlefield, there is basically no privacy for male soldiers' letters home, especially when Chu An went to the front lines before.

While staying in the cat-ear cave, Chu An saw that whenever letters from home were sent, his comrades would eagerly read them aloud.

It doesn't matter whether the letter is from parents to children or from a wife to her husband.

Everyone gets this treatment.

"Okay, then I'll read it!"

Chu An smiled and put the book back down to continue reading.

Soon, Chu An, having finished reading the letter, briefly recounted its contents to Qin Wanqiu.

After finishing, Chu An put away the letter and didn't plan to write a reply.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will definitely have to go back sometime soon.

It shouldn't be long now; if I write again, the other person might arrive home before the letter does.

Soon, after cleaning was finished, Chu An and Qin Wanqiu chatted in the dormitory for a while. Just as they were about to go for a walk before dinner, a sound came from outside the dormitory.

"Excuse me, which dormitory does Chief Chu of the Operations Section live in?"

"Looking for you?" Qin Wanqiu asked softly, and then stood up abruptly.

They're a boy and a girl in the dorm. Even if they've confirmed their relationship, they certainly wouldn't be talking behind closed doors right now.

After all, we need to be mindful of the impact; this is a military camp, not the outside world.

"Let me see!"

Chu An recognized whose voice it was.

Soldiers in the reconnaissance platoon.

"Gao Youmin, over here!"

As Chu An reached the door and leaned out, he saw someone at the entrance of the stairwell and called out.

At this moment, Chu An also realized that he was not alone, but that three soldiers had come together.

And they were all veterans.

Immediately, Chu An made some guesses about the situation.

"Then I'll go back first!" Qin Wanqiu stood up and walked over from behind.

"Okay!" Chu An replied.

Immediately afterward, as the group quickly walked to the door at the stairwell entrance, Qin Wanqiu also went out.

"Uh, hello sister-in-law!"

"No, Company Commander, we..."

When the three saw Qin Wanqiu come out, they immediately realized that they had come at the wrong time.

"Hehe, it's alright, come in!"

"You two chat!" Qin Wanqiu smiled sweetly and walked confidently towards the stairwell to go upstairs.
