"Dad."
"What are you doing?"
"I want money."
"How much do you want? Buy what?"
"The more, the better. Buy some things for the army?”
"Don't talk nonsense. Once you enter the army, the army will take care of everything you eat and drink. What do you want to prepare?”
"I want to buy some cigarettes to bring along. When I get there, I won't be familiar with the place and people.”
"That makes sense. I'll give you 10,000 yuan.”
"Thank you, Dad."
Li Ran successfully used this reason to convince her father and got 10,000 yuan as pocket money.
"You brat, you've really grown up. You know how to handle interpersonal relationships.”
Looking at Li Ran's back as he left, Li Jun laughed and scolded, his face full of relief.
He had been a soldier before and knew the hardships of being a soldier. He also knew the needs of being a soldier. Cigarette was a hard currency in the army. Moreover, his son was an adult. It was not a big deal to smoke.
Although Li Jun knew that there was a high possibility that cigarettes could not be brought in, he did not want to dampen Li Ran's enthusiasm.
Li Jun was very satisfied with Li Ran's positive attitude. Although he was worried that it would only be three days of novelty, it was better than nothing.
In the 1990s, ten thousand yuan was not a small sum. However, his family was rich. His father's money would not be spent unless it was white.
Li Ran swept through all the major stores.
"Boss, buy some cigarettes."
"What cigarettes?"
"Hua Zi."
The boss's eyes lit up. He was so young and was wearing branded clothes. He was a rich kid.
"How many packets?"
"Give me a few."
"Alright."
Just like that, Li Ran, like a nouveau riche, hoarded a large amount of money and spent all the ten thousand yuan.
At night, Li Ran was in her room, searching for basic information about enlistment.
During the period of enlistment, there was no way to choose the type of soldier and the distribution area. They were randomly assigned. Besides some simple personal supplies, cigarettes were not allowed.
After seeing this message, Li Ran went crazy.
F * ck, I can't bring cigarettes. What should I do?
The key was that he had bought so much that he could not hide it even if he wanted to.
"Forget it. I'll just pin my hopes on the system and see if it can do anything.”Li Ran thought to himself.
At this moment, her phone rang.
"Hello,"
"Brother Ran, why haven't I seen you for a day? Your dad locked you up at home? Come out and play."
"I'm not going. I'm going to join the army.”
"Soldiers? Brother Ran, don't joke with me."
"I'm not joking with you. I'm serious. I'll probably leave in a week.”
"Ah, if you go to the army, what will happen to us?”
"Why don't you join the army too?”
"Forget it, I can't bear that kind of hardship. I'd better be an honest rich second-generation heir. Brother Ran, why don't we give you a farewell drink?”
"Forget it, there's no need."
"Alright, Brother Ran. Take care.”
She was going to join the army soon. For Li Ran, this was the last farewell to her friends.
A week later…
Li Ran received a letter from the local armed forces.
"Comrade Li Ran, your information has passed the review of the armed forces. Please go to the hospital within seven days to complete the medical examination preparation.”
After learning that Li Ran had successfully passed the military examination, Li Jun was the happiest. This time, Li Ran was basically going to join the army.
Li Ran, who was very calm in her heart, drove her father's Tiger Head Mercedes-Benz to a nearby hospital for a physical examination.
During the conscription period, each hospital had set up a special entrance for the physical examination.
Li Ran was waiting in line for his physical examination when someone patted him on the shoulder.
"Brother, are you going to be a soldier too?”
Li Ran turned around and saw a man with a crew cut looking at him happily. The man was dressed in simple clothes and wore a pair of shoes. He looked a little silly when he smiled.
"Yes." Li Ran smiled and nodded.
"I see that you drove here and are wearing branded clothes. Why are you so rich to join the army?”The man with the crew cut was very surprised.
"Being a soldier is a sacred profession. Being a soldier is also to protect the country. Why? If you have this thought, I can tell you responsibly that there's not much money in the army. It's better to give up as soon as possible.”
Li Ran's earnest tone stunned the crew-cut man.
"You rich people have a different standard of speech, unlike me. I came from the countryside, so I'm not very educated and don't have a high level of awareness. My family is too poor and I'm stupid. I want to join the army. I don't need my family to pay for food and drink. It can reduce the burden on my family. It would be best if I could learn something in the army.”The man with the crew cut laughed foolishly, his words filled with sincerity.
"Then maybe we can be together this time.”Li Ran said with a smile. She had a good impression of the honest man in front of her.
Hearing this, the man with the crew cut smiled even more happily.
While they were queuing, Li Ran chatted with the man with the crew cut for a while more before she found out that the honest-looking man in front of her was called Wang Erniu. His name was the same as the person, and he was very honest.
He had a younger brother and two younger sisters at home. The family conditions in the countryside were not good. As the eldest son, he chose to join the army as soon as he became an adult. The main reason was to reduce the pressure on his family. Every month, he could send some allowance home.
The two of them finished their physical examination and came to the hospital entrance to say goodbye. At this moment, Li Ran touched her body and took out the remaining 300 yuan and handed it to Wang Erniu.
"Brother, knowing each other is fate. This is my gift. Take it home and buy something for your younger brother and sister.”
"Brother, what are you doing? I can't take this money.”Wang Erniu's attitude was very firm." My mother told me since I was young that I can't take money that I didn't earn through hard work. Big Brother, I appreciate your kindness. I really thank you."”
Wang Erniu's firm attitude made Li Ran nod secretly.
"Alright, goodbye then."
"Goodbye, Big Brother."
With the medical report in hand, Li Ran drove home. The preparations for enlistment were all done. Now, she only needed to officially report to the armed forces in a week.
He just did not know which army and region he would be assigned to.
At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded in Li Ran's ear.
"Ding! Mission completed. System activation successful.”
"As the host has activated the system for the first time, he has been rewarded with a novice gift bag!”
