After eating and drinking, everyone was drunk. He Daming, who usually didn't drink much, drank a lot today for the first time.

At this time, Xu Fugui also took the opportunity to explain his true intention.

"That Ming brother, ah no, General He, Major General He.

To be honest, I brought our Da Mao to your house today because I do have something I want to ask you for help with."

He Daming seemed to have guessed that Xu Fugui would say this, but he really wanted to help Xu Damao, so he immediately said, "Brother Xu, we are all from the same compound, so we are half of our own people.

You don't have to be so formal and distant. Don't call me General. Just continue to call me Daming.

As for what you just said about wanting something, please speak up as soon as possible and state your request in detail."

When Xu Fugui heard what He Daming said, he knew that this matter had potential and immediately broke into a happy smile.

Then he changed the subject and directly stated his demands.

"Brother Daming, you also know that our Xu family only has Damao as a male.

This kid is usually quite noisy and disobedient, so I just want him to join the army and gain some experience in your unit."

When He Daming heard Xu Fugui's words, he immediately understood what he was thinking.

This matter was not a difficult matter for him, but he still took precautions in advance to be on the safe side.

"Brother Xu, regarding your request for me to help arrange for Damao to join the army.

To be honest, I can indeed arrange it, but first you need to clarify three points.

First of all, once you join the army, it is not a place to act like a spoiled brat. Life in the army is very hard, and it is not as comfortable as living in a courtyard house.

If your Da Mao can't endure hardship and can't bear the arduous training, I personally suggest that you return to where you came from and don't join the army to suffer. This is not something that ordinary people can endure."

When Xu Damao heard what He Daming said, he immediately interrupted and said, "Who says it's impossible? He Yuzhu can endure hardships, so why can't I?"

Xu Fugui, who was standing by, heard Xu Damao's irrelevant remarks and immediately kicked him, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about, you little bastard? You have no respect for your elders. Do you have the right to speak here? Don't you see your uncle Daming talking over there? Shut up."

He Daming waved his hand when he saw this.

"Brother Xu, you don't have to be like this. Damao is a straightforward person, but he is not a bad person. He is a promising person.

However, military life is not as obedient as you think, and now the whole country is at peace, and there won't be any wars in the short term, so it is definitely unrealistic to want to achieve success quickly."

He Daming's words were like a bucket of cold water poured directly on the heads of the Xu father and son.

Originally, the two of them were planning to rely on He Daming, and then gain some experience in the army. After a few years, they would be promoted and then transfer to civilian jobs. By then, they would be civil servants with a stable job.

But now after hearing what He Daming said, this approach is basically not feasible.

For this reason, Xu Fugui looked at Xu Damao with a very complicated look.

Although Xu Damao is younger than He Yuzhu, he is still very active in mind.

After thinking for a moment, he decided.

"Dad, I still decided to join the army."

After hearing Xu Damao's answer, Xu Fugui asked again, "Damo, have you thought it through?"

Xu Damao nodded.

"Think it through..."

Seeing Xu Damao's firm attitude, He Daming interrupted and said, "Brother Xu, since Damao really wants to join the army, I will arrange it for him. After I graduate from the military academy next month, I will arrange Damao to join my team.

But I still have to say one more thing, the living conditions in the army are very difficult, and once you have made the decision, don't regret it. If you can't help but become a deserter, your life will basically be over, so you have to think it through carefully."

He Daming's words did not make Xu Damao back down. He spoke again and expressed his opinion.

"Uncle Daming, don't worry. I, Xu Damao, will never be a deserter. Since He Yuzhu can accomplish it, I can do it too."

When He Daming heard what Xu Damao said, he was instantly enlightened. It turned out that this kid was using his own cheap nephew as a comparison object.

“Brother Xu, since Damao is determined to join the army, I will do as he wishes.

If possible, I will give some help, but the most important thing is to see Damao's own performance.

After hearing He Daming's promise, Xu Fu nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, Daming, I feel relieved with your words."

.................

Yi Zhonghai, who was standing by, saw that He Daming agreed to Xu Fugui's request so readily.

He then cheekily interrupted,

"Brother Daming, this time you have become a major general of our China, which means you have made a fortune.

You have to take care of us, the neighbors in the Siheyuan. As the saying goes, neighbors are like brothers, so don’t forget us.”

When He Daming heard what Yi Zhonghai said, he felt very uncomfortable, because he didn't like this hypocritical guy.

So after hearing these words, He Daming did not treat Yi Zhonghai well, but instead sneered and said: "Brother Zhonghai, I don't agree with what you said.

The army has its own rules and discipline, and not everyone can join.

Besides, you are old now, it is not appropriate for you to join the army."

Yi Zhonghai saw that He Daming had misunderstood his meaning, and continued: "Brother Daming, that's not what I meant. I don't want to join the army. I just want..."

Before Yi Zhonghai could finish his words, He Daming interrupted him and said, "Brother Zhonghai, since you are not here to join the army, you don't need to tell me anything else. I don't have that much ability.

You can't possibly ask me to take those yellow dogs that we keep in our courtyard and bring them to the military camp to be used as military dogs and have them eat royal food, right? That would mean you think too highly of me."

But what He Daming said actually had a bit of an indirect criticism.

Yi Zhonghai was not a fool, so he naturally understood the implication of He Daming's words. He almost called himself a dog.

For this, his face turned pale and blue, and he explained again: "Daming, that's not what I meant. Brother Daming, you misunderstood me."
