Chapter 343: Clear grudges

In reality, Suning often has some nonsensical nightmares, and repeating the college entrance examination endlessly may be the most terrifying one. He did not expect that the system would help his nightmare become reality.

Once again stepping into the college entrance examination hall, Suning no longer felt too excited. Instead, he was like an old monk in meditation. The question before him now was whether he should get full marks.

Suning knew that he had a very strong background in this world and did not need the low-key approach of other worlds, so Suning finally decided to get a perfect score.

Suning chose the liberal arts exam this time, so he only took exams in politics, Chinese, mathematics, history and geography. He had no intention of applying for a foreign language major, so he did not choose foreign language as an elective.

The two-day exam did not make Suning feel tired. As soon as he left the examination room, he immediately returned to the army to report for leave, and then continued with the routine training required by the army, as if he had never taken the college entrance examination.

Li Zhicheng, who was secretly paying attention to Suning's situation, saw that Suning was so calm and thought that Suning did not do well in the exam. Then he sighed and shook his head and did not mention the matter again.

Suning's comrades had the same idea. After all, they believed that it was impossible for Wenquxing to descend upon them. Thanks to Suning's popularity in the past, there were no cold words or ridicule.

Time quickly came to January of 1978, and Suning was once again faced with a headache. Not only did he have complicated disputes with Jiang Defu's family, but he also had his "biological mother" Zhang Guilan and "half-brother" in his hometown in Shandong.

Since the last time he traveled through time, Suning has never gone back. He just sent them the little allowance he had saved during every Chinese New Year and other holidays, and the content of the letter was just a very simple greeting.

Of course, I still won't go back this year. Going back would only make me feel awkward. I might as well just maintain our relationship by sending money and not have any other contact.

Maybe Li Zhicheng thought that Su Ning was feeling depressed as his life went on as usual, so he asked his driver to pick up Su Ning again. Because there was still some distance from the headquarters of the 302nd Regiment to Li's home, the driver, who was now an acquaintance, started chatting with Su Ning.

"Changyi, do you want to learn how to drive?" The driver looked at Jiang Changyi with a smile. Even without mentioning the relationship between Su Ning and Li Zhicheng, the status of a soldier king alone was unattainable for ordinary soldiers. "If you want to learn, I'll teach you."

"Okay! I want to drive this old Russian GAZ-69 too!"

"Haha, to be honest, Big Brother's car is really good, sturdy and durable!"

The driver first stopped by the roadside, then exchanged seats with Suning, and then began to introduce the car to Suning in detail. Hearing the driver's endless introduction, Suning did not feel impatient at all, but listened carefully with patience.

Suning finally found that there was not much difference between the car and the vehicles of later generations, and then he drove freely and calmly under the driver's nervous gaze.

Seeing Suning's skillful driving skills, the driver's eyes widened, "Changyi, can you drive?"

"Haha, there's a tank in the army, and I begged my comrades to let me drive it. Maybe this is the saying that one thing leads to another!"

"Tank?" The driver was now filled with shock. "Oh my god! Changyi, you're a genius!"

"Haha, I can't even call myself a genius! I can only be considered a bit clever."

Suning felt more and more comfortable driving, and did not show off his superb driving skills in front of the driver. Instead, he drove smoothly all the way to Li's house, making the driver feel that Suning was a steady and experienced driver.

"Haha, the property has been returned to its rightful owner!" When Suning arrived at Li's house, he got out of the driver's seat directly and said to the driver with a smile.

Looking at the smiling Suning in front of him, the driver felt that Suning had a steady and down-to-earth quality. He had forgotten how to express himself in words and just gave Suning a thumbs up, then drove away.

"Changyi, why did I see you getting out of the driver's seat just now?"

"Uncle, your driver Lei Dongbao was teaching me how to drive just now."

"Oh? Did you learn it?"

"Haha, that's about right!"

"Is this true? If you fail to get into university this time, come and be my driver!" Li Zhicheng suddenly said jokingly.

"Haha, I might disappoint my uncle."

"why?"

"Because I am absolutely sure to pass the college entrance examination this time, I also hope that uncle can help me contact the National University of Defense Technology when the time comes."

"Changyi, are you so confident in yourself?"

"Uncle, if my predictions are correct, I might get full marks."

"Huh? Full marks?"

"Well! This time, all three of my choices are for the National University of Defense Technology, but I don't know if the National University of Defense Technology will participate in this unified enrollment, so I may need your help in contacting them."

"Haha, don't worry!" Li Zhicheng nodded with a smile. "You are a military officer. As long as you get good grades in the college entrance examination, you will definitely be admitted to the National University of Defense Technology."

In fact, Li Zhicheng still couldn't believe what Suning said. After all, getting a perfect score was a rare thing, let alone for someone who just graduated from junior high school. So Li Zhicheng thought Suning was bragging.

Shandong, somewhere, rural area.

Zhang Guilan stood on a high place and looked into the distance to see if her eldest son Jiang Changyi had returned. As soon as her youngest son went out, he saw his mother Zhang Wang.

"Mom, didn't my brother send the money back?" The youngest son was really helpless at this moment. "The letter also said that he won't be coming back for the New Year this year."

"Hey! I miss your brother!"

"Mom, they have heavy tasks in the army, so they can't just come back."

"That's not right! There are so many soldiers in our village, how come they can all come back for the New Year?" Zhang Guilan was not very satisfied with her youngest son's explanation. "Do you think your brother is spending the New Year at the Jiang family?"

"Impossible! My brother and the Jiang family can't have such a good relationship." The youngest son shook his head with a wry smile.

"Then why didn't she come back for the New Year?"

Seeing that it was impossible to explain clearly to his mother Zhang Guilan, the youngest son just smiled bitterly, shook his head and left.

Feeling that her youngest son had gone back to work, Zhang Guilan still stood on the high ground, gazing at her eldest son, Jiang Changyi, who would never come back, and muttered to herself, "Changyi, do you dislike your mother?"

On the island.

The Jiang family is very lively this year because all the children have returned. Jiang Defu and Lao Ding decided to have the New Year's Eve dinner together.

Jiang Defu learned his lesson this time and called a few soldiers from the kitchen to cook for him. An Jie and Jiang Dehua sat there leisurely, cracking melon seeds, and everyone had happy smiles on their faces.

The Jiang and Ding families are all shrewd people, and no one took the initiative to mention Jiang Changyi. After all, everyone knows that Jiang Changyi is the "thorn" in An Jie's heart, and there is no need to say these things on this happy family day.

However, Jiang Changyi had become an unavoidable topic for both the Jiang and Ding families. Jiang Defu suddenly turned to his eldest daughter, Jiang Yafei, and asked, "Yafei, I heard that your aunt Hou's two sons are back for the New Year?" "Yes! Yes!" After all, Yafei had been reading letters to Hou Chengnan's mother, so she knew the most about their Hou family's affairs. "Dad, as soon as I saw Hou Chengnan, I suspected that his current letters were written by someone else, because the handwriting before and after was completely different. As a result, he got angry and wrote a poem "Quiet Night Thoughts" in public."

"Haha, Yafei, you're the only one who can act weird!" Jiang Defu shook his head helplessly and laughed, "You often help his mother read letters, how could you not know the changes in Hou Chengnan's handwriting."

"Yeah! I just wanted to piss him off on purpose." Jiang Yafei revealed her pride again, "Dad, didn't you see how arrogant Hou Chengnan was? He even said he had only practiced calligraphy for the past two years, otherwise he would have taken the college entrance examination with my eldest brother."

"Take the college entrance examination? Your elder brother took the college entrance examination?" This was also the first time Jiang Defu knew about this.

"Ok!"

"." Jiang Defu suddenly realized that he knew very little information about this "eldest son".

"Hou Chengnan?" Jiang Dehua had no idea what the college entrance examination was, nor did she care about such matters. "Is he the second son of Captain Hou?"

"Yes! Aunt, it's him!"

"Ah? Yafei, didn't you often fight with him when you were little?" Jiang Dehua couldn't help but be surprised. "Why are you so close now?"

"Aunt, I don't have a very good relationship with him!" Jiang Yafei shook her head directly at her aunt Jiang Dehua, "It's just that I often help his mother read letters, so I know more about his family's affairs."

"Yafei, your elder brother Changyi is serving in the army with Hou Chengnan, right?"

"Yeah! Hou Chengnan said that my eldest brother has become the squad leader, and he's a big shot among them."

"Haha, Changyi is a really capable kid."

"Yafei, did Hou Chengnan tell me whether your elder brother was admitted to university?" Jiang Defu was still concerned about Suning's university entrance exam.

"I don't know! When Hou Chengnan came back for the New Year, the results weren't out yet. Maybe they've come out by now?"

"Yeah! I understand."

Suning's results had indeed come out at this time, and as expected, it was a full score, which was a earth-shaking event in Ningbo.

Li Zhicheng was the first to know about Suning's results. He was shocked and had a new respect for Suning. He called the National University of Defense Technology directly. The National University of Defense Technology was also pleasantly surprised by Suning's results and readily agreed to recruit him.

Suning declined all other invitations and came to the Li family on New Year's Eve because Li Zhicheng wanted him to celebrate the New Year at the Li family.

Because Xiaolin had to go back home for the New Year, the Li family originally planned to call someone from the kitchen, but Li Zhicheng decided to do it himself. When Suning came to the Li family with the gift, Li Zhicheng was busy preparing to start.

Su Ning quickly put down the gift in his hand and took over all of Li Zhicheng's kitchen work. "Uncle, can I cook today?"

"Ah? Can you cook?" Li Zhicheng stared at Su Ning in front of him with wide eyes, "Please don't make something inedible!"

"Haha, uncle, I'm a great cook!" Suning explained with a smile, "I learned from a chef in the countryside. I even followed him around and cooked for big banquets in the countryside."

"Ah? Is this true?" Li Zhicheng still looked at Suning with a questioning look.

"Uncle, you just stand by and watch!" Helpless, Suning could only compromise and said, "With a big leader like you at our command, we two will definitely be able to capture this hill today."

"Yeah! That's good!"

The ingredients prepared by the Li family in advance were all very high-end, including Zhoushan small yellow croaker, prawns, crabs, and abalone. Perhaps because of the convenience of being close to the sea, there was no shortage of these seafood.

Watching Suning's skillful cleaning of ingredients and operation, Li Zhicheng was really getting more and more shocked. Suddenly, he felt that Suning in front of him was becoming more and more mysterious. After all, there were no such fresh seafood in rural banquets.

"Changyi, have you told your father about your perfect score on the college entrance exam?"

"Uncle, to be honest with you, I have decided not to bother them anymore."

"Huh? Why?"

"Uncle, I've told you before that my presence will only cause chaos in their family, so stop being that disgusting 'asshole'."

"Changyi, you're too thoughtful! That's not good!"

"Uncle, do you know when was the most painful time in my life?" Suning cooked with a skilled look on his face while talking to Li Zhicheng about his worries frankly. Now he really no longer needs the "scheming" he had before.

"When?"

"Haha, that was the month I was forced to go to the island to serve in the army." Su Ning smiled bitterly, "At first I didn't even think about going to the island, I just needed my father to help me arrange the military service.

But after arriving on the island, I disrupted their peaceful life and became the object of everyone's disgust."

"Hey!"

"Uncle, you should know how hard it is for rural children to get a place in the army.

Jiang Defu is my father, so it’s no big deal for him to help me get a place in the army.

Now that I have what I want, I am able to fight for the life I want next. There is no need to continue to deliberately cause trouble for them. "

"Oh! You are too stubborn, kid."

Li Zhicheng certainly knew everything about the Jiang family, but he did not expect that Suning would be so repulsive to the Jiang family, which became an irreconcilable contradiction between the two parties.

"Changyi, will you still interact with those brothers and sisters in the future?"

"Yes! I just won't disturb their lives.

If there's anything they really need my help with, as their big brother, of course I'll do my best to help."

"Well! This is what a man who knows how to distinguish between right and wrong should do!" After hearing Suning's statement, Li Zhicheng became satisfied again.

Looking at Su Ning, who had a clear sense of gratitude and resentment, Li Zhicheng suddenly found that he liked her more and more. He felt a little jealous of Jiang Defu for no reason. Not only did he have both a son and a daughter, but his "adopted son" raised in his hometown was also so outstanding.

A sudden thought came to my mind: how great it would be if Suning was my son. He would definitely not have to work so hard, and he would not have to endure so much grievance.
