Chapter 21: Heading to the Military Camp
Editor: Atlas Studios
Passing and confirmation.
After getting the results, Gu Qingjiu got the confirmation letter that informed her of her military enlistment.
When the time came, she would need to hand it up to the camp together with the other new soldiers.
The military management staff—who came to the hospital together with them—informed them about what will happen next. Afterward, they told them that they can go home to pack their things and bid farewell to their parents. They were to gather at Dayi City's Bus Terminal Station on the 5th and a military vehicle that will fetch them all to the military camp.
Everything else will only be notified only after they have entered the military camp.
Holding onto her enlistment report, Gu Qingjiu's heart started to thump crazily and uncontrollably on her way home.
After all, enlistment meant a completely different life now.
What will happen later was something that Gu Qingjiu wouldn't know?
Once she reached home, Gu Qingjiu passed the report to her mother Qi Yuefeng.
"Mom, the notice is out and I'm confirmed to enlist. I'll be leaving on the 5th for a three-month training camp. No matter if I'll pass the training camp or not, I can only return after three months."
Hearing this, Qi Yuefeng froze.
She took the report. After seeing the military seal, her mood started to sink once more. She cupped a hand over her mouth to stop herself from almost crying out loud.
"I really don't know what you're thinking about! Why must you enlist?! Now, you cannot regret even if you want to!"
Women seemed to be all emotional and melancholic especially if they were mothers who couldn't bear to part from their daughters.
Gu Qingjiu's heart writhed in pain. Seeing how Qi Yuefeng was like, it also made her sad. She muttered, "Mom, it's just three months. I'll be back in three months. We don't even know what will happen by then."
However, Gu Qingjiu will definitely find a way to stay in the military when that time comes. Nevertheless, she could still humor Qi Yuefeng for now.
At the thought that it will only be three months, Qi Yuefeng felt a little better. She wiped the tears that almost rolled down her cheek before she glanced towards Gu Qingjiu and pulled a bright smile on her face. "You'll be leaving in two days. Is there anything you would like to eat now? I'll make it for you. You won't be able to eat such food when you're in camp."
The conditions in the camp were tougher. Although the military condition in the country had improved a lot now, new recruits like Gu Qingjiu would definitely suffer after entering the camp.
New recruits had it the roughest.
Because they didn't know anything and needed to learn everything from scratch. They had no experience as well. Sometimes, if they meet a bad-tempered superior, it would be common to be bullied by the older soldiers too.
Qi Yuefeng was most afraid that Gu Qingjiu would be in such a situation.
Gu Qingjiu could vaguely read what Qi Yuefeng was thinking about. However, she couldn't say anything. It would be even more impossible for her to tell her parents about the Yu family.
At that moment, Gu Qingjiu only wanted to spend the next two days with her parents.
At night, Qi Yuefeng made Gu Qingjiu's favorite—Sweet and Sour Pork. The entire family ate with both happiness and a hint of slight sadness that couldn't be fully swept under the rag. It was as if Gu Qingjiu's enlistment was something extremely sad.
However, to Qi Yuefeng, it really was the case.
How could she bear seeing her only daughter that she adored so much to suffer in the military?!
Two days seemed long, but it passed by in a flash. On the enlistment day, Gu Qingjiu had packed all of her things and went out with Qi Yuefeng.
It was only because Qi Yuefeng insisted on sending her to the bus terminal. She would only be at ease after seeing her daughter get on the bus.
At the bus terminal, the military vehicle for them had already arrived. Qi Yuefeng wasn't the only parent. The other enlisted children also had parents that sent them all the way until they had confirmed their identity before hopping into the vehicle.
Gu Qingjiu stared at her mother and waved at her from outside the window. At the thought of having to leave Qi Yuefeng's side even though she had just been reborn, as there was no choice, her eyes stung and turned red instantly.
