Chapter 1530: Children Grow Up and Don't Listen to Their Mothers
Shi Ran usually works overtime often, but now she tries her best to finish her work during working hours.
On weekends, Shi Yuan is also picked up to return to the Yun Family. With the family all home on weekends, Ma Ling'er does not deliberately give him the cold shoulder. Growing up in a loving environment, Shi Yuan's personality has gradually become cheerful.
Jiangzhou University.
Moli comes to find Zichen and gets straight to the point: "Big Brother, I want to join the army."
Zichen does not stand on ceremony and refuses directly: "No, you won't pass the physical examination."
"The physical exam is no problem. I'm not going to be a soldier like the second brother; I'll be a civilian personnel in the military. The military came to the school specifically to select talent and said the physical requirements aren't that strict. I've already passed."
Zichen:...
"Since you've already passed, why are you still looking for me? Oh, are you asking me to celebrate for you? Fine, congratulations, you're treating me to lunch."
The military came to Jiang University to look for talent in computer science; Zichen knew about this, but he is not a computer science student, while Moli is.
Furthermore, Moli has excellent grades in this field, so it is not surprising that he was selected, and Zichen is genuinely happy for him.
Moli: "I'll treat you to lunch. You pick the place, order whatever you want to eat... Hehe, but you have to do me a small favor..."
"I'm not helping. Forget about you treating me; a meal with you isn't cheap. I'm not doing it!"
Zichen walks away as soon as he finishes speaking. Moli hurriedly grabs him, puts on a fawning smile, and says: "Big Brother, don't be like this. I don't have any biological siblings; you are my real big brother. You must help me with this favor. Whether I treat you or not, you have to help."
"Are you trying to extort me? No way. You're using me as a shield. If you go off to join the army, your mother won't spare me. I won't even have a place to cry when that happens..."
Although Moli did not say what kind of favor he needed, Zichen had an idea.
He wants to join the army, but his aunt Jian Yixin would be the first to jump out and object, and she would object strongly. Moli is afraid he won't be able to handle it, so he is looking for someone to help. This favor cannot be helped; whoever helps will be the one to suffer.
"It won't happen, I promise it won't. Big Brother, you must help me. If you don't help me, I'll start extorting you right now..."
After Moli's relentless pestering, Zichen finally could not hold out and agreed to help him.
"Tell me, how do you want me to help you?"
"I don't know either. If I knew the specific method, I would have said it just now. You tell me, how should we deal with Mom?"
Zichen says crossly: "You know your mother's personality best, and you're asking me?"
Moli: "I know my mom, but I don't know your mom. If my mom objects, she will definitely look for your mom to ask for advice, and I won't be able to handle the ideas your mom comes up with."
Zichen thinks for a moment; it makes a lot of sense.
Thus, the two of them discuss it all afternoon on campus and write a thick plan on how to deal with both moms!
Facts prove that taking precautions is still the right thing to do.
Moli tells his mother about his plan to join the army.
Although he explains it very clearly and makes it clear that it is a civilian position without high-intensity physical training, his mother still firmly objects.
"No, you can't go. There's no need for our family to produce a soldier."
"I want to experience life in the military."
"What's so good about military life? Isn't it great to be a scientist? Professor Wang at your school is very interested in keeping you on as his graduate student."
She has already paved the way for her son.
It is very difficult to get into Professor Wang's graduate program. Jiang University is full of talent, and everyone is exceptional. To get into Professor Wang's program, everyone is sharpening their heads to squeeze in.
She pulled many strings and found many people, and only after great difficulty did she get to speak with Professor Wang, and Professor Wang agreed to let Moli be recommended for admission to his graduate program. Such a good thing is hard to find even with a lantern, yet he is pushing it away?
Jian Yixin is extremely annoyed and firmly disagrees.
Why join the army again? Why does he want to join the army for no reason? Cui Xiaoqian has already moved on, so why join the army? Isn't it great to start a new life?
His mother tries to reason with him by breaking it down, but he cannot listen to a word of it.
Moli says with a firm attitude: "I am already eighteen years old, an adult, no longer a child. I have the right to decide my own future. I have already signed up and have already passed. I am just telling you, not discussing it with you. I hope you won't be angry, please don't be angry."
Not be angry?
How could she not be angry? Jian Yixin is so angry she feels like her lungs are about to explode!
Sure enough, she goes to the Sheng Family to discuss it with Shi Youxuan.
Shi Youxuan does not help her come up with ideas to stop Moli from joining the army like last time; instead, she advises her that the child is grown and has his own ideas, and since it won't affect his health, she should just let him go.
Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles, and traveling ten thousand miles is not as good as meeting countless people.
Seeing more of the world is always a good thing.
Shi Youxuan is genuinely looking out for her, but Jian Yixin is not appreciative: "You say it lightly. It's not your child, so you're not worried."
Shi Youxuan says: "Don't go around biting everyone like a mad dog. Moli isn't my son, but Litian is my child, right? Did I say anything when he joined the army?"
Jian Yixin retorts: "Can that be the same? Litian is as strong as an ox; how can our Moli compare?"
"Didn't we already say? Civilian position, civilian position."
"I'm worried about him even in a civilian position. What if he accidentally bumps into someone while walking? My son definitely won't be able to handle the impact."
Shi Youxuan:...
She doesn't even know what to say anymore. What kind of divine logic is this?
She retorts bluntly: "If you think like that, it will never end. Unless you never go out, you're bound to bump into people while walking."
Jian Yixin: "It's different at Jiang University. The students at Jiang University are all gentle and refined, the force is different."
Shi Youxuan says she watches too many TV dramas. Nowadays, you have to be educated to join the military, and there's no such thing as running around recklessly. Where on earth is your mind wandering...
She has almost worn her lips out, but it is useless.
Jian Yixin is set on one thing, and that is that her son absolutely cannot join the army, not even for a civilian position.
Furthermore, she demands that Shi Youxuan come up with a plan for her so that the child cannot go.
Shi Youxuan refuses, saying she won't get involved.
"I will help you with things that are good for the child, but what you are doing is indiscriminate and interfering with the child's correct choice. I won't help. No matter what you say, I cannot help!"
Jian Yixin is angry: "Hmph! I don't need a butcher like you to eat pork with hair on it. If you won't help, fine. I can mess this up all by myself."
She calls her son, her voice weak: "Such a big matter, don't you think you should come back? Let's discuss it properly."
Moli was indeed very nervous: "Mom, what's wrong? Are you sick? Why does your voice sound so weak?"
He called with a video call.
It was connected quickly.
His mother was lying on the bed with a pale complexion, without a hint of color on her face.
Moli was shocked: "Mom, you're sick, why aren't you at the hospital instead of lying at home?"
Jian Yixin said: "I'm fine, I'm not sick, I just haven't slept well or eaten for two days."
