Names: Uncle Zhao Mengsheng, Father-in-law Pei Yihong

Just then, the roar of car engines came from outside, and several military vehicles stopped in front of the judicial office.

Several people in military uniforms came down, and the one leading them was Minister Cao from the Armed Forces Department of Jingzhou City.

Minister Cao walked into the judicial office and said, "Comrade Qi Tongwei, we meet again."

Qi Tongwei saluted and said, "Minister Cao, hello!"

Qin Hansheng, Li Jianguo, and Zhang Jianjun also stood up quickly, looking at Minister Cao with puzzled expressions, wondering why the military had sent people.

Minister Cao solemnly said, "Comrades, let me introduce myself. I am the Minister of the Armed Forces Department of Jingzhou City."

I'm here today to announce something important. According to arrangements from higher command, Qi Tongwei and Cheng Du have been assigned to the Northern Xinjiang Military Region and will depart tomorrow to report to their units.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and Qin Hansheng could hardly believe his ears.

Cheng Du was also called over, and he was a little excited. "Minister Cao, are you serious? We can really join the army? You're not joking, are you?"

Minister Cao nodded: "Of course it's true, why would I joke with you?"

"You two volunteered to join the army with a firm attitude, high education, and talent. Your superiors value you highly and have specially assigned you to the Northern Xinjiang Military Region to train you well. You have a bright future ahead of you."

Qi Tongwei was also very excited.

This was undoubtedly a good opportunity for him to get out of his predicament and realize his ambitions.

Qin Hansheng looked at Qi Tongwei and said, "Comrade Qi, that's great! You finally have a chance to go out. Do a good job in the army from now on."

Wherever you go, you will always be a member of our Lone Eagle Ridge Judicial Office.

"Thank you, Director Qin." Qi Tongwei nodded, his eyes slightly red.

During this time, Qin Hansheng took good care of him; people should treat each other with kindness.

In the evening, we went to Director Qin's house for drinks, which served as a farewell banquet.

Besides books, Qi Tongwei plans to distribute all his belongings to villagers in need.

Director Qin took care of all of these tasks.

night.

Qi Tongwei and Cheng Du stood back to back.

Cheng Du pointed to the star-studded night sky, "Tongwei, that's great! We're going to the army tomorrow, we'll be soldiers from now on!"

Qi Tongwei closed his eyes, then opened them again. "Yes, we're going to the army. From now on, we'll work hard in the army and make a name for ourselves."

"That's right!" Cheng Du patted his chest and said, "Once I get to the army, I'll train hard and strive to become a junior leader so I can lead troops into battle and defend our country!"

Qi Tongwei smiled and shook his head: "Stop bragging. We need to call Teacher Gao and tell him the good news."

Cheng Du put his hand on Qi Tongwei's shoulder, "Yes, yes, we must call Teacher Gao! Let's go to the institute to make the call."

The call was answered quickly.

Gao Yuliang's voice came through: "Tongwei, how are things over there?"

Did you encounter any difficulties at Lone Eagle Ridge?

Are you short of money?

"Teacher Gao, I haven't encountered any difficulties. I lack nothing, and the local people are all very kind."

"I'm here to bring you good news. Cheng Du and I have been assigned to the Northern Xinjiang Military Region, and we're leaving for Northern Xinjiang tomorrow." Qi Tongwei was hoping Gao Yuliang would praise him a bit.

On the other end of the phone, Gao Yuliang was stunned, not expecting Qi Tongwei to make such a choice.

Anyway, leaving Lone Eagle Ridge is good news.

"Tongwei, that's great! That's great! I knew you wouldn't be overlooked forever!"

Once you're in the army, you must obey orders and follow commands, train hard, and strive to achieve results as soon as possible!

"Thank you, teacher. I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Qi Tongwei's eyes welled up with tears. He would never have to kneel before Liang Lu again.

"Good, well done. Fangfang was admitted to Kyoto University School of Medicine with a score in the top 50 in Handong Province. Fangfang even said she wanted to thank you specially." Gao Yuliang felt that this was truly a double blessing.

Cheng Du also chatted with Gao Yuliang for a few minutes.

Early the next morning, Qi Tongwei and Cheng Du left by car.

At 10 a.m., a send-off ceremony was held at the Armed Forces Department of Jingzhou City.

Qi Tongwei and Cheng Du, dressed in brand-new military uniforms, stood tall and straight at the front of the formation.

Seeing the parents of the new recruits come to see them off, Qi Tongwei felt a pang of longing for his own parents.

It's true that whatever you think about comes true.

Just then, Qi Tongwei saw two familiar figures walking towards him; they were his father, Qi Haishan, and his mother, Wang Baozhen.

Qi Tongwei's eyes reddened, and he quickly went to greet them: "Dad, Mom, what brings you here?"

Qi Haishan patted Qi Tongwei on the shoulder, "Tongwei, we heard you were going to the army, so we came here to see you off."

"One person serving in the army brings honor to the whole family."

Wang Baozhen held Qi Tongwei's hand and said, "Tongwei, you must take good care of yourself, eat on time, sleep on time, and don't overwork yourself."

If anything happens, just write home.

Because there is no telephone service at home.

As she spoke, Wang Baozhen slipped a small handkerchief into Qi Tongwei's pocket.

Qi Tongwei naturally knew, but since his mother hadn't pointed it out, he pretended not to know.

"Dad, Mom, your son has grown up, don't worry." Qi Tongwei quietly put all his savings into his mother's pocket.

Cheng Du, who was standing nearby, also saw his parents.

Cheng's mother's tears kept falling: "Son, you've never suffered since you were little. When you get to the army, you must take good care of yourself. Mom misses you."

"Mom, don't worry, I can handle it." Cheng Du scratched his head. "When I get to the army, I'll try my best to be a good soldier and bring honor to our family!"

Gao Yuliang, Wu Huifen, and Gao Fangfang also squeezed into the crowd, having come specifically to see him off.

Gao Yuliang, carrying two bulging small cloth bags, strode up to Qi Tongwei and Cheng Du: "Tongwei, Cheng Du, this was prepared by Teacher Wu. It's a bit far to the northern border. Have something to eat if you get hungry on the way. Do your best in the army."

"Thank you, teacher," Qi Tongwei and Cheng Du said in unison.

Wu Huifen smiled and stepped forward, patting Qi Tongwei's arm. "Tongwei, it's really a waste for a top student like you to go to Guying Ridge."

Teacher Gao and I have tried our best, but Liang Lu just won't budge. There's nothing we can do about her little bit of power-wielding capriciousness.

When you arrive in northern Xinjiang, it will be cold and windy with sandstorms, so please take good care of yourself.

Gao Fangfang waved her admission letter, "Brother, thank you so much! I got into Kyoto University School of Medicine."

"If it weren't for your encouragement, I probably wouldn't have passed the exam at all."

Qi Tongwei saw the name "Gao Fangfang" on the list, especially the large characters for Kyoto University. "Fangfang, that's great! Congratulations, this is all thanks to your hard work."

"Brother, once you get to the army, be sure to write to me when you have time and tell me how things are going. I'll write to you too." Gao Fangfang didn't have a brother, so she had long regarded Qi Tongwei as her own brother.

Qi Tongwei nodded. "Fangfang, until we meet again."

Cheng Du chuckled and joked from the side, "Fangfang, you'll be a top student at a prestigious university in the future, don't forget about us!"

Gao Fangfang smiled and nodded: "Definitely not, we'll keep in touch."

Just then, a jeep stopped, and three people got out: a man, a woman, and a young man.

The man was wearing an executive jacket and had a serious expression.

The woman was wearing a dress and had a gentle and graceful demeanor.

The young man was dressed casually, with his hands in his pockets, his head drooping, looking unwilling, and exuding an air of spoiled pampering.

Li Dakang instructed, "Ruilong, once you arrive at the Northern Xinjiang Military Region, you must obey orders, train hard, unite with your comrades, and don't embarrass your superiors."

Zhao Ruilong pursed his lips and muttered impatiently, "Brother Li, I know, I know, you're so long-winded, just like my dad, all you do is lecture me all day long."

"I'll go, why all the nonsense?"

Zhao Xiaohui gently tugged at Zhao Ruilong's arm, "Ruilong, don't think your brother Li is being long-winded, he's just doing it for your own good."

Second sister knows you don't want to go, and she knows that life in northern Xinjiang is tough and cold, but this is Dad's good intention, and it's for your future.

Think about it, if you continue to drift aimlessly like this, what future will you have?

When you get to the army, behave well and get rid of your bad habits. When you come back, your second sister will cook you something delicious.

Eat well and don't be a picky eater. Rest well when you're tired from training. If you feel wronged or have any difficulties, call me and I'll definitely try my best to help you.

Zhao Xiaohui truly loves her younger brother Zhao Ruilong.

Not long after, the farewell ceremony ended, and cars were already waiting by the roadside to take them to the train station.

Qi Tongwei and Cheng Du bid a reluctant farewell to their parents and Gao Yuliang's family before getting into the car.

Urged on by Li Dakang, Zhao Ruilong reluctantly carried his luggage onto the car. Zhao Xiaohui waved goodbye, "Brother, take care!"

The car slowly started moving and headed towards the train station.

Li Dakang and Zhao Xiaohui stood still.

Zhao Xiaohui was a little worried, "Dakang, do you think Ruilong will be able to perform well when he arrives in the northern border region?"

He's been spoiled since childhood and has never experienced hardship. I'm really afraid he won't be able to handle the hardship there and will cause some trouble again.

Li Dakang solemnly said, "Xiao Hui, don't worry. The leaders have already contacted the relevant comrades in the Northern Xinjiang Military Region and explained Ruilong's situation to them. They have agreed to take special care of Ruilong."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaohui nodded: "That's good, that's good. I, as the older sister, can rest assured now."

To be honest, I really couldn't bear to send him to such a far and hard place, but I also knew it was for his own good.

If we don't take care of him soon, his life will be ruined.

"Yes, the leaders made this decision after much hardship," Li Dakang said with emotion. "With proper guidance, things will definitely change. The military is a great place to train people. I believe that through this experience, Ruilong will become more mature and stable, and he will also understand the leaders' good intentions."

Zhao Ruilong sat in the back seat, still looking sullen, his head resting against the car window, secretly pondering how he would get through the journey once they arrived in northern Xinjiang.

Soon, the car arrived at the train station.

Qi Tongwei, Cheng Du, Zhao Ruilong, and others boarded the train bound for northern Xinjiang with their luggage.

The train slowly started moving, marking the beginning of a new journey in their lives.
