Parents' Love: My Childhood Sweethearts with Jiang Weidong

Jiang Weidong looked bewildered. "Compete for what?"

Qin Wangyuan thought he was being mocked, so he took a deep breath to suppress his shame and anger, "I want to compete with you fairly for that military academy spot."

"Why are you doing this?" Jiang Weidong thought he was showing off, so he scoffed and ignored him.

Qin Wangyuan grabbed him, his expression serious. "I can ask the regimental commander to be my witness. I will take this spot fair and square!"

Clearly, he believed that he was stronger than Jiang Weidong.

Jiang Weidong was equally proud of his flying skills, and he became serious upon hearing Qin Wangyuan's challenge.

"Alright, let's find the team leader and have a public competition!"

Their conversation was overheard by everyone around them, so a number of people followed them on their way to the regimental commander's office.

Upon hearing their purpose, the leader slammed his fist on the table in anger, shouting, "Nonsense! What do you take this place for? A martial arts arena?"

"Commander, I don't want to leave a stain on my record, please allow us to compete!"

Qin Wangyuan's attitude was very firm.

Jiang Weidong also expressed his opinion, "Commander, he's challenging me. I can't just admit defeat, can I? Please agree!"

The regimental commander was also helpless. The news about the military academy spot had probably already spread, and if it was given directly to Qin Wangyuan, it would likely cause gossip.

He could only grit his teeth and nod in agreement, "Okay, but remember, stop there!"

The regimental commander knew Jiang Weidong and Qin Wangyuan fairly well.

Jiang Weidong is serious and hardworking, and has a genuine love for flying. Moreover, he has flown for much longer and is much more skilled than Qin Wangyuan.

If they were to use the same aircraft they were used to, Qin Wangyuan would undoubtedly lose.

So the regimental commander led them to the newly equipped aircraft, which had only been in service for a few months and they were just getting used to it.

Only by competing in this way can they start on the same starting line.

"If you want to compete, then let's use this kind of aircraft to compete, how about it?"

The regimental commander's stern gaze swept over the two men.

Jiang Weidong remained calm, stepping forward first and straightening his back. "No problem!"

Qin Wangyuan was quite surprised. Seeing that Jiang Weidong had agreed, he was not to be outdone and stepped forward, saying, "Report! I have no problem either."

"Alright, let's begin!"

Jiang Weidong volunteered to be the first to start.

He became fascinated with this aircraft as soon as it was put into service. He wished he could eat his meals inside it every day and dreamed about familiarizing himself with it.

So he drove very steadily, and his various aerial maneuvers were also very beautiful. You couldn't tell at all that he had only been driving a few times.

The soldiers of the Second Company watching from below clapped excitedly.

After getting off the plane, Jiang Weidong took off his helmet and laughed unrestrainedly.

He has a passion for flying airplanes and enjoys the feeling of soaring among the blue sky and white clouds.

Qin Wangyuan looked at his perfect performance and his expression turned a little ugly. He himself believed that he could not have done so perfectly when he was driving a completely unfamiliar model.

But he didn't want to give up so easily. With a tense expression, he put on his helmet, went into the cockpit, and started the engine.

Qin Wangyuan was genuinely unfamiliar with the task, and his movements were riddled with errors. It looked like he was about to crash the plane.

The battalion commander on the ground was so frightened his legs went weak, and he quickly called out to him over the radio, "Qin Wangyuan, it's ready, come down now!"

Seeing Jiang Weidong's relaxed expression, the battalion commander thought this was normal!

Who knew that Qin Wangyuan would show him through his actions.

no!

It's simply because Jiang Weidong is better than the others.

After Qin Wangyuan came down, without the regimental commander saying anything, he said to Jiang Weidong with a pale face, "The spot in the military academy is yours."

This competition completely shattered his confidence as a prodigy. He had thought he and Jiang Weidong were evenly matched, but who knew that it was just self-deception.

His confidence is all fake, it's been built up by others, and it's ridiculous that he only realized it now.

Seeing his dejected appearance, the battalion commander sighed. In his opinion, Qin Wangyuan was an academic, good at theory but lacking in practical experience.

Qin Wangyuan then approached the regimental commander and said, “Don’t worry, I will talk to my dad about this. He won’t have any objections to giving this spot to Company Commander Jiang.”

The regimental commander breathed a sigh of relief; that was exactly what he had been worried about. Hearing Qin Wangyuan say this, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well done!"

After Qin Wangyuan left, Jiang Weidong was tossed into the air by his men from the Second Company, who shouted excitedly, "Company Commander is number one! Company Commander is awesome!"

Jiang Weidong was equally excited; he could go to military academy in Beijing! He wouldn't have to be separated from Wang Shu anymore!

When he got back, Jiang Weidong wanted to share the good news with his little moon as soon as possible.

So, disregarding Lin Wangshu's instruction that he should only call in case of emergency, he impatiently called the performing arts troupe.

When Lin Wangshu called out breathlessly, "Hello," it was then that the other end of the line responded.

Jiang Weidong suppressed the words he was about to say, and tried to sound regretful, "Wang Shu, we may not be able to live in the house we designed before."

"What? Why? Did something happen to you? You didn't do something wrong and get discharged from the army, did you?"

When Lin Wangshu saw him calling, she was already uneasy, and now her mind was filled with bad thoughts, and her tone became anxious.

Jiang Weidong couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying with a touch of smugness, "Of course not! I've been recommended by the army to attend a military academy, and one in Beijing no less! Little Moon, we can go to university together!"

"Really? You're so annoying, teasing me again!" Lin Wangshu was both angry and amused upon hearing the news, and said reproachfully.

"Little Moon, I will work hard and I will definitely give you a better house, better than the one your father gave you!"

Jiang Weidong's voice came through the microphone with an electronic tone, sounding somewhat distorted, but Lin Wangshu could sense his seriousness.

"Okay, I believe you." Lin Wangshu didn't give a perfunctory answer; she replied just as seriously.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Weidong calmed his excitement and began writing letters to everyone in his family to share the good news.

Even Ya Ning, who was at school, had a copy.

In the letter he wrote to Jiang Weiguo, Jiang Weidong proudly expressed his hope that his elder brother would work hard, otherwise his military rank would surpass Jiang's in the future.

On Songshan Island, Anjie heard the postman calling out again at the door.

She went outside and got the letter, only to find it was from Jiang Weidong again.

As An Jie opened the letter, she complained to Jiang Defu, "That Jiang Junqing is so annoying. Why does he write home every day? Doesn't he train anymore?"

Jiang Defu chuckled, "You're such a strange person. When your son doesn't write, you're happy, but when he does, you complain that he's annoying. You're so hard to please!"

Anjie rolled her eyes at him. Although she said it was annoying, she opened the letter quickly, clearly still very happy.

After reading it carefully, An Jie was overjoyed and excitedly punched Jiang Defu on the shoulder.

"Old Jiang, our family is going to have a college student!"
