571: Two spots available for military academy admission.
The college entrance examination had not yet resumed, so the only way to attend university was through recommendation.
Both of her younger brothers wanted to attend a Military Academy, so she planned to recommend them to her alma mater.
She had discussed this with the Principal and Political Commissar before, and both of them had agreed.
These two lads met the academic standards, and their political background checks were also flawless. She planned to discuss this with her Aunt and the others in advance, and she also intended to have these two lads train in regular Military Units, just like Shen Yan.
Regiment Commander Wang tried to decline again, but Lu Jing and Instructor Qin held him down.
"Uncle Wang, please sit down. We've got this."
"That's right, Uncle and Aunt, please sit down first. We're cooking today."
After speaking, they went into the kitchen and got busy.
Regiment Commander Wang looked at them and thought of when they were young, then smiled. He and Old Xiao were just like that back then.
Cheng Yu also didn't expect Niannian and the others to bring so much wild game.
This was too valuable.
"Niannian, let's just cook two. Take the rest back..."
"Aunt, our current meals are good. We specifically caught these in the back mountains of the training base, so please don't decline."
Xiao Niannian looked at her two younger brothers and instructed.
"You two go help wash the vegetables."
"Okay."
Wang Jiang and Wang He immediately walked over.
Xiao Niannian pulled Regiment Commander Wang and Cheng Yu into the room.
"Niannian, what's wrong? Do you have something to tell your Uncle and Aunt?"
Xiao Niannian nodded.
"Xiao Jiang is now in his first year of high school. He'll graduate in less than two years. During these two years, Uncle, train them well, and when they graduate from high school, let them go to the Military Academy."
What?
Xiao Niannian's words stunned both Regiment Commander Wang and Cheng Yu.
"We do want them to go to a Military Academy. These two children have good physical fitness now."
Regiment Commander Wang said with a smile.
However, a recommendation slot for a Military Academy was not easy to get. He was also trying to find a way.
"Niannian, Uncle and Aunt will figure this out. You just focus on your work, don't worry about these things."
Cheng Yu was afraid that Niannian would go to her biological father and ask them for favors for their sake. They would handle these matters themselves.
"Uncle and Aunt, you are my biological Uncle and Aunt. Xiao Jiang and Xiao He are my biological younger brothers. Their matters are naturally my matters."
How could Xiao Niannian not understand that her Uncle and Aunt were afraid of troubling her?
But for so many years, they had been sending them money, and after she and Grandma came to the Military Unit, they had also been taking care of them.
"I didn't use anyone's connections. I spoke with the Principal and Political Commissar myself, and as long as Xiao Jiang and Xiao He's college entrance examination scores meet the standard, they can go to the Military Academy in the City Name to study..."
What?
Niannian herself spoke to the Principal and Political Commissar?
Regiment Commander Wang and Cheng Yu were both shocked.
Regiment Commander Wang's eyes reddened as he said.
"Niannian, you..."
"Uncle, let's not say thank you. We are family, and family doesn't say such things."
Cheng Yu excitedly hugged Xiao Niannian, her voice trembling slightly.
"Niannian, thank you."
They didn't expect Niannian to give them such a big surprise.
After a while, Regiment Commander Wang finally calmed down.
"Niannian, Uncle doesn't know what to say. But rest assured, Uncle will strictly demand of them both."
"Yes, we will definitely strictly demand of them..."
Hearing her Uncle and Aunt's words, Xiao Niannian said.
"Uncle, during summer vacation, you can arrange good training courses for them to improve their physical fitness. Once their physical fitness is better, during summer and winter vacations, I'll take them to the training base to train with the regular Team Members..."
Currently, the physical fitness of these two younger brothers was only comparable to that of ordinary soldiers, but they couldn't keep up with new Team Members of the Special Forces Brigade or regular Team Members in training.
Hearing Niannian's words, Regiment Commander Wang immediately understood Niannian's meaning.
He knew how powerful his Niece's physical fitness was and how good her scores were in various subjects.
"Good, good, good. Uncle will definitely have them train well."
Before, the two lads ran three kilometers every day, and had some 400-meter obstacle courses.
Now it seemed they would need to increase their training.
It was their honor that their Niece was willing to train them. By then, their physical fitness scores would definitely be even better.
Cheng Yu also understood Niannian's meaning and became even more excited.
"Aunt, please don't say thank you. Keep this matter a secret."
Xiao Niannian admonished them.
"Niannian, don't worry. Uncle and Aunt will never spread this news, and Xiao Jiang and Xiao He won't know either."
They absolutely couldn't let their sons know that they could now be recommended to a Military Academy, otherwise, they would definitely become arrogant, and it might even backfire.
"Exactly, exactly."
After their talk, Xiao Niannian walked out.
She saw the two children at the doorway peeling garlic, washing green onions, and other vegetables.
"Sister."
Seeing Xiao Niannian come out, they immediately called to her.
Xiao Niannian handed over the bag she was holding.
"These are the models Brother Lu and I made for you."
"Thank you, Sister."
The two brothers took the models from the bag and jumped up happily.
Xiao Niannian stood there, watching their happy expressions, and also smiled.
"Thank you, Brother Lu."
They used to call him Uncle Lu, but now they all followed suit and called him Brother Lu.
Lu Jing looked at the two brothers and said with a smile.
"You're welcome."
Cheng Yu thought of Niannian and Lu Jing's engagement before, and how Niannian had given them wedding candies.
She and her husband had also prepared a dowry for Niannian, including all the tickets and such.
This way, when Niannian married Lu Jing, they could also contribute.
Lu Jing had seen Niannian making models before, and he knew Niannian had given models to Xiao Jiang and Xiao He, so he also helped make some.
These two lads now called him Brother Lu openly, but privately, they called him 'brother-in-law' repeatedly.
Excellent, these two lads have a bright future.
Xiao Niannian saw the smile in Lu Jing's eyes, and she looked at Lu Jing in confusion.
Why did she feel that Lu Jing's gaze towards her younger brothers was very different today? Could it be that he also thought they were good prospects and planned to recruit them into the Special Forces Brigade in the future?
When it was time for dinner, looking at the large table of delicious dishes, Regiment Commander Wang and Cheng Yu's faces were full of smiles.
Regiment Commander Wang took out two bottles of his treasured wine.
"Come, everyone, have some."
"Brother Lu, you guys drink. I'll be driving later," Shen Yan said with a smile.
"Okay."
Xiao Niannian also raised her glass.
"Thank you all for catching so much game and making such a wonderful spread today."
After dinner, Lu Jing and the others cleaned up the house and left Regiment Commander Wang's home.
When Xiao Niannian and the others left, many people in the Compound saw them.
"Is that Battalion Commander Lu and Instructor Qin?"
"It seems one of them is Comrade Xiao Niannian."
"That's Military Doctor Shen. I've seen him save people before."
