‘The Way of War’ Chapter 2: Chen Ming

Before that, I want to say, thank you all for paying attention to this novel. 'The Way of the Soldier' is a very exciting story. Support 'The Way of the Soldier'!\ “You want to be a soldier? If you don't study properly, what kind of soldier can you be!”\ “There's nothing wrong with the child's mother being a soldier.” Dad was seeking Mom's opinion.\ “Right? What's wrong with being a soldier? I like it!” Mom was glaring at me angrily. I lowered my head again and pouted, “Alright, let's eat first.”\ At the dining table, Mom didn't speak, seeming to have something on her mind, while Dad was focused on my expression, and I kept my head down eating.\ “Alright, Ming'er, wait until you grow up to be a soldier. As for me, I hope you become a good soldier in the army and don't embarrass Mom.\ “Okay! I definitely won't embarrass Mom!” At this moment, Dad shouted loudly, “Private Chen Ming!\ “Yes, sir!”\ “Salute!” I did a very proper salute. Not bad, you truly are my son! Well done. Mom! How is it? Handsome, right? I asked proudly.\ “Handsome, handsome. Eat, eat.” Mom replied helplessly. You could see her eyes were somewhat gloomy.\ “Ming'er, go to sleep, no more playing.”\ “Yes, Mom!”\ Oh~ I let out a long yawn. I got up wanting to pee, and on the way passed Mom's room, where I overheard Mom and Dad discussing something. I pressed my ear to the door to listen carefully. “Ah, actually, I don't want Ming'er to become a soldier, but…”\ “But you've already said it, right? Let him become one, it has benefits.”\ “Mm,” Mom replied softly.\ “Oh, by the way, I'll return to the army tomorrow. You two girls will have a hard time.”\ “It's okay, we're used to it.”\ The next day, “Mom! I'm going out to play!”\ “Oh! Come back early!” Hehe, I'm going to find that guy Qin Hu.\ “Huzi! Huzi! Come out!”\ “Huh? It's Brother Ming. Brother Ming, where are we going to play today?”\ “Nowhere. I'm telling you, I'm going to become a soldier!”\ “Ah? Really? Becoming a soldier is good?”\ “Yes! It's super cool.”\ “Just cool?”\ “Seems like we might even go to war…”\ “Ah?”\ “Don't make such a big deal about it,” I said helplessly.\ “Brother Ming, I also want to be a soldier.”\ “Alright, when we grow up, we'll go together.”\ “Okay!” Huzi said happily.\ “Huzi, what is brother Ming telling you?” Huzi's mom said happily, holding some fruit.\ “My Brother Ming is going to become a soldier!”“‘Naruko, is it?' ‘Yes, Auntie.' ‘Hmm, joining the army is good, joining the army is good. Alright, you two keep chatting. I washed some fruit for you, have one.' ‘Thank you, Auntie.' ‘Hehe, this child really knows how to behave.'\ ‘Huko, I'm leaving now.' ‘Brother Naruko is leaving?' Naruko gave… Huko casually tossed a piece of fruit over. ‘By the way, Huko, tell Xiao Fei and the others that I'm going to join the army and see if they'll come.' ‘Alright, Brother Naruko.'\ I hummed a little tune, ate an apple, and walked into the house. I glanced sideways at that warehouse, ‘Military Supplies'. What kind of military supplies are there? I need to be sneaky…
