I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1056: Joining the Army?

"What?"

"You want me to join the army?"

"I'm not going!"

"I'd rather die than go!" Liu Jin immediately expressed her indignation upon hearing the news, and then reiterated her dissatisfaction.

She is enjoying her pleasant college life. Although it is just a private junior college in Shanghai, there is no academic pressure here!

Here, she can enjoy her free time to her heart's content. With her wealth, she has a group of supporters. As long as she doesn't break the law, she can wield considerable influence in this school.

Moreover, the school seems to be somewhat lax in its management of her, which makes her even more comfortable. The only regret is that she can only commute to school. It is unclear who made the rule that local students whose homes are no more than 15 kilometers away from the school do not need to live on campus.

So she had to take the bus to and from school every day. Fortunately, she didn't have to get up early and stay up late every day. In addition, when the weather was bad, her father would personally take her to school, which helped her gradually adapt.

Unfortunately, these good days only lasted a few months.

This news, like a bolt from the blue, hit her head.

Join the army?

Are you kidding me?

How could Miss Huo possibly join the army?

With so many eligible young people across the country, why does she have to be the one to take up arms and defend the motherland?

In front of her entire family, she strongly expressed her dissatisfaction and indignation, and firmly stated that she would not accept this arrangement.

"I'm not going! I'm not going! I still have to go to school, and I need to transfer to a four-year university!"

Unexpectedly, her mother was like a stubborn turtle trying to eat a weight, determined to send her to join the army.

"Come on, the school you go to? Others might not know, but do you think we don't? You just go there to play every day. Do you think we don't know what you do at school every day?"

Seeing that her mother wouldn't budge, she turned her attention to her father.

"Dad, I'm your only daughter, I don't want to join the army!"

Unfortunately, her father had already been instructed beforehand and dared not agree to her request.

"It would be good to train for two years, and two years will go by quickly." After saying that, he stopped looking at her.

Liu Jin isn't stupid; she knows her family is serious this time, but how could she give in so easily?

Grandpa and Grandma

"They want to send me to the army, even though I'm doing so well in school."

Unfortunately, even her kindest grandmother, Qian Jiazhen, didn't speak up for her this time. Instead, she advised her, "Joining the army is a good thing, especially for women. Do you think just anyone can go?"

"Wow!" Liu Jin felt like he was about to collapse.

At that moment, a voice interrupted her crying: "What are you crying about?"

She wiped away her tears and called out in a sob, "Uncle!"

Looking at his niece's tear-streaked face, Huang Xiaochuan was furious. "It's just sending you to the army, and look at you crying like we're sending you to jail!"

Liu Jin thought to herself, "Serving in the army is almost like going to jail," but she only dared to say it in her heart and didn't dare to utter a single word.

Huang Xiaochuan glanced at his niece again and said, "What's wrong with joining the army? Your uncle and cousin are both in the navy. If you join the army, you'll be the first female soldier in our family. It's a great honor."

Hearing this, Liu Jin couldn't help but defend herself, saying, "I still want to go to school. How about I join the army after I graduate?" She was very clever and came up with the idea of ​​stalling.

Hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan said earnestly, "Liujin, your grades aren't good, so I don't expect you to contribute to the country's development. But you can still defend it. It's only two years. Are you really unwilling to do that?"

Immediately afterwards, Huang Xiaochuan threw out another harsh remark: "If you don't even want to be a soldier, then you can call me your maternal uncle from now on. I don't have a niece like you."

Liu Jin's heart sank. It was all over. It seemed he had no choice but to become a soldier.

But she hesitated for a moment: "Then I'll sign up for the army next year; the application deadline has already passed this year."

To her surprise, her uncle waved his hand dismissively: "It's okay, we've already registered you. You'll have your medical check-up the day after tomorrow."

Liu Jin was so angry she almost jumped onto the roof. Good grief! She had already given her her name, and now she was only being told?

Her uncle's next words completely dispelled any thoughts she might have had about pulling any tricks during the physical exam.

"Don't even think about doing anything funny during the physical exam. I've already spoken to the doctor who will be doing the exam."

The sky has fallen!

Liu Jin felt utterly hopeless. Apparently, if she joined the army, she would have to cut her hair short. It was such a long and difficult time for her hair to grow to this size!

My hair!

At this moment, her mother spoke up again: "Starting tomorrow, you don't need to go to school anymore. Stay home and take good care of yourself, prepare for your physical examination. I'll stay home with you until you leave to join the army."

The sky darkened! This is...

She didn't go to school the next day.

But in the afternoon, she started receiving calls from her classmates at the private college, who were also her supporters.

Who told Miss Huo to spend money so lavishly without even blinking an eye?

She treated the whole class to steak at Formosa One, and the steak dinner cost her tens of thousands of dollars, which left everyone speechless. But for her, it was just a matter of swiping her card.

As long as she's in a good mood, I'll readily give her small gifts—Yves Saint Laurent lipsticks, Chanel necklaces, shopping cards from the IFC Mall, and so on.

Xinyuan's classmate and close friend, Wang Xiaoxiao, asked, "Xinyuan, why didn't you come to school today? Are you feeling unwell?"

Liu Jin slumped listlessly on the sofa, holding the latest model of mobile phone in his hand. Listening to Wang Xiaoxiao's concerned voice on the other end, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Something came up at home, so I won't be going to school for a while."

Wang Xiaoxiao on the other end of the phone immediately became anxious: "Huh? What's wrong? Is it serious? Should we come see you?"

Liu Jin quickly sat up. Her mother hated it when she brought outsiders home, so she had never brought any classmates to her house before.

She cleared her throat: "It's nothing serious, I'm going to join the army."

A gasp came from the other end of the phone: "Join the army? Xinyuan, are you kidding me? How could you possibly join the army?"

Just then, Liu Jin heard a rustling sound coming from the other end of the phone, indicating that there were other people with Wang Xiaoxiao.

Sure enough, several voices came through the phone.

"Xinyuan, are you really going to join the army?"

"You skipped all your military training by asking for leave. Can you handle the hardships of military service?"

"Why did you suddenly decide to join the army?"

"Young lady, are you out of your mind?"

The cacophony of chatter left Liu Jin completely bewildered.

Not a single reliable suggestion was offered; everyone just assumed she wasn't suited for military service. Nonsense! Do you need to tell me whether she's suitable or not? Don't I know myself?

Really!

Liu Jin didn't want to listen to these people's chatter, so he hung up the phone directly.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jin continued to lie on the sofa in a daze. She remembered that last month, during the National Day holiday, she had driven Wang Xiaoxiao and a few other local classmates to Yangcheng Lake to eat hairy crabs. Not only did they finish eating, but each of them also brought home a box of crabs, which moved them to tears.

Last week, she was in a good mood and casually gave each of the girls in her class a lipstick, and each of the boys a Zippo lighter. Although some of the boys didn't smoke, they all happily accepted the gifts.

It's only been a few days! And he's already going to join the army. My uncle said yesterday that he has to leave before the 10th of next month. Oh my god! I can't take it anymore!
