Chapter 3 Changing Yourself
Wang Chong's heart is full of guilt.
Wang Chong's mother's reaction was in his eyes, just admitting a mistake, apologizing, and sitting upright at the dining table could make his mother happy like this, so it was obvious how much of an asshole he had been in his previous life.
His previous life self, uncontrollably traveling from another world, had refused to accept everything. Although they had always treated themselves as their own sons, deep down, Wang Chong always thought that this was not his own biological parents.
Therefore, internally Wang Chong always had a deep sense of estrangement from them.
This is also the reason why in his previous life, Wang Chong was not afraid of being beaten with a cane, not afraid of being chastised, and not listening to the teachings. Wang Chong always thinks that this is not his own world, he is just a passer-by here.
All the people, all the things ...... are hurried smoke cloud foam in their own life. But the fact proved himself very wrong.
Only those who have lost, only know to cherish; only those who have nothing, only know how valuable everything is!
In his previous life, after experiencing that drastic change and his family's decline, he had thought that his past performance would make his father, mother and relatives would give up on him.
But precisely they, in the most difficult times, the most difficult, there is like floating like a duckweed in the days of their own never give up, always take care of as the day.
As long as there is a mouthful of food to eat, they are always the first to eat.
Think of the mother less than fifty years old, full of gray hair, like a sixty or seventy years old, Wang Chong heart is full of guilt.
At the last moment, his mother died in his arms. The moment that looming body collapsed, Wang Chong was shocked to realize how thin her body was.
Wang Chong's heart was bleeding.
It was also at that moment that Wang Chong's heart broke, collapsed, and died completely. For the thirty years thereafter, that living Wang Chong was just a shell ah.
Mother ah! Why are you so kind to me ah?
At that moment, a tiger sobbed in Wang Chong's heart and let out a howl of grief in the pounding rain. That was the first time he cried in pain in this world. At that moment, the entire world collapsed!
Wang Chong came to his senses, but it was all too late, too late!
Perhaps the heavens in the underworld heard his heart and gave him another chance to start from scratch. Looking at his mother beside the meal, Wang Chong's heart was sour.
Mother, don't worry. In this life, I will never let you be sad again, and I will never let anyone hurt you again. Anyone!
Wang Chong clenched his fists under the table and swore secretly in his heart.
"Come on, eat your vegetables! All move your chopsticks to eat, if there's anything, let's talk about it later."
Mrs. Wang, Zhao Shuhua, was in a good mood as she picked up her chopsticks and gave Wang Chong's plate a large piece of crispy, charred roast chicken.
"Mother, you eat too!"
Wang Chong picked up his chopsticks and also chucked a large chopstick into his mother Zhao Shuhua's bowl.
Mrs. Wang's heart was filled with the Great Lieutenant, so she had a stern face, and Father Wang, who was very dissatisfied with Wang Chong, also had his face dissolve a lot. Three principles and five rules, filial piety word first, this kid actually know to give his mother clip food, this is a great progress.
Must have made such a big deal this time, he really woke up. Thinking of this, that thought in Wang Yan's heart became even more real.
"Father, Mother, taking this opportunity, there's something I want to talk to you about, I hope you'll agree."
While everyone was ready to start, Wang Chong put down his chopsticks, his eyes filling up as he pondered to say something else.
"What do you want to do again?"
Wang Chong didn't say anything, but as soon as he did, Wang Father immediately sank his face, his gaze icy cold. This beast, who did such things, thought that he had really changed for the better, but he didn't want to still change his nature.
After saying so many words and behaving so well before, it turned out that it was all for the sake of negotiating with himself now. He would like to see what this rebellious son really wants to do.
"Chong'er, what do you want to say?"
Mrs. Wang didn't act like Father Wang, but instead was greatly interested and vaguely expected to say. By and large, it was always the mother who believed in her child the most, and from this point on, Mrs. Wang didn't think as much as Father Wang did.
"Father, mother, I have thought for a long time ......"
Wang Chong lowered his head with a thinking face, whether he could regain his parents' trust depended on this matter. Wang Chong knew in his heart that what he said next would be very important to him.
"I want to join the army!"
Wang Chong said.
As soon as the words fell, the lobby shook, and in a flash, everyone in the lobby was stunned. All of Wang Chong's previous words combined were not as shocking as this one.
Mrs. Wang's lips hemmed and hawed, looking at her son in a daze, wanting to say something but unable to say anything at all. This news was too shocking, and she needed time to digest it.
Even Wang Chong's father, who had always spoken coldly and sternly to Wang Chong, and had not even looked at him, was surprised to the extreme on his stalwart face at this time.
He was a great general who led the troops on the battlefield, and he would not blink an eyebrow even if the mountain collapsed in front of his eyes. But what Wang Chong said was too great a shock for him.
His own son is too stubborn, all day idle, no ambition, even make a group of misfits fox friends, this time even did the thing of robbing the people's daughter, so that the whole Wang family face no existence, reduced to a laughing stock.
His heart pain, finally decided to send Wang Chong into the barracks in advance. In the barracks can exercise people, perhaps only the barracks to change their own son of this disobedience.
This thing, even if Wang Chong did not mention, he was also prepared to raise at the dinner table. Inside the heart has long been thought, no matter Wang mother with or without consent, Wang Chong willing or not, this thing is the nail in the coffin, can not be changed.
Unexpectedly, Wang Chong actually took the initiative to put forward.
It is because I know what kind of person my own son is usually, so Wang's father was deeply moved by it, but also more aware of this turn of determination, in Wang Chong is how not easy.
Joining the army is not a treat, the dangers of which need no elaboration. If the previous performance, is just some caution, that join the army this thing is not a joke.
The return of the prodigal son, could it be that after so many things, this rebellious son of his really washed his hands of the revolution and came to his senses?
In this instant, Wang father's heart was overjoyed. He began to somewhat believe that his own child had really changed.
Wang Chong observed his words, and knew that his words had had an effect.
Having been a man for two lives, Wang Chong deeply knew that at the family dinner table this time, even if he didn't mention it, his father was about to bring up the matter of letting himself join the army as a punishment.
In his previous life, he had resisted for a long time. But it was completely useless, his father's determination had been set, and could not be changed. In this life, even if you know that this matter cannot be changed, you might as well take the initiative to raise it.
This will also be able to help himself change the impression in his father's mind, and win back his father's trust!
Moreover, thinking back carefully, this matter is actually not a bad thing. Just exactly how to do it would be well worth pondering over.
"Chong'er, you're still a little young to join the army at your age. However, it's not a big deal. Have you thought about which place you want to join? I will greet them in advance."
Wang Father said.
He used to call Wang Chong a rebellious son, but this time, he actually took the initiative to call out "Chong'er", so it was evident that Wang Chong's decision did make him very happy.
"Father, I've thought it over, I want to start with the training camp first. Iron must also be hard on oneself, I first want to attend the Kun Wu training camp, and hone my own kung fu first, then go join the regular army."
Wang Chong spoke the words he had been thinking for a long time.
"Kun Wu Training Camp?"
Father Wang was truly surprised. He had just gotten word from the court that His Majesty had made a decision to set up three camps, Kunwu, Shenwei, and Longwei, to train the Junior Army for the court.
This was just a short while ago, so secretive, how did this rebellious son know about it?
But on second thought, this rebellious son of the previous net to make friends with some of the three kinds of foxes and dogs, he may be heard elsewhere is also not known.
"Why did you choose Kun Wu Training Camp?"
Father Wang quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice:
"There are two other major training camps, Divine Might and Dragon Might. Kun Wu is only for those ordinary generals' children. While Shenwei and Longwei are at a higher level than Kunwu, and are specifically for the sons and daughters of princes, lords, and powerful nobles in the capital. I believe that the training there should be much more perfect and advanced than Kun Wu."
"The words there might help your future in the future. If you think about it, I can try to help utilize your grandfather's influence to allow you to join the two major camps of Divine Might and Dragon Might."
Wang father was only a frontier general leading the troops outside, and would not be any kind of prince, from this point of view, Wang Chong could only be considered an ordinary general's son.
But Wang Chong's grandfather is different, this dynasty was formerly a meritorious minister from the dragon, support this dynasty his majesty smoothly to the throne, and later was promoted to the left prime minister of a sage, disciples and old friends all over the dynasty and field.
Now although retired, but the influence is still there.
Father Wang said that using your influence, Master Wang Chong, let Wang Chong to join the two major training camps of Divine Might and Dragon Might, that is not a problem at all.
Wang Chong was silent. Father is a piece of good intentions, but Wang Chong knows in his heart, contrary to what Wang father said, the three camps inside Kunwu is the best choice.
Today's saint is brilliant, the last life is also this time, in order to choose from the capital of the generals and princes, as well as all the children of the powerful and noble, selecting the appropriate children of the capital to form the Junior Army, only to set up the Kunwu, God's might, Longwei three major training camps.
Now that the three camps were being created, everything was still unclear. Everyone still thought that the level of Divine Might and Dragon Might exceeded that of Kun Wu and was the best choice.
For a long time afterward, there would be a large number of people who wanted to break their heads and squeeze their brains, wanting to participate in these two major camps. However, Wang Chong knew that time would prove in the future that Kun Wu was the best choice.
In the days to come, when the great upheaval of the sky comes, the old generation of generals have fallen, the whole of the Great Tang Empire after the most elite generals almost more than ninety percent of the stars are from this Kunwu training camp.
However, these are not good to explicitly say to father now.
"Father, I've thought it over, it's still Kun Wu that suits me. After being in the capital for so many years, I basically know all the princes and sons of the Upper Capital. Father wants to send me to Divine Might and Dragon Might, and the others must be thinking the same. If I were to go into the two major training camps of Divine Might and Dragon Might to practice, wouldn't it be Ma Zhou and the others again?"
Wang Chong could only make up some other excuses to stall.
Wang's father was originally against it, but then he thought about it, the matter of Wang Chong and those foxes and dogs had just happened not long ago. It's not easy for Wang Chong to revolutionize his heart, and he has just made some progress, if he hangs out with those people from Ma Zhou again, if he is in the old state of mind, will it not be too late to regret, and he will lose his intention of sending him to the training camp.
"That is, if you have thought about it, then do as you say."
Father Wang frowned.
Although he did not quite agree with Wang Chong's decision, what Wang Chong said was not unreasonable, and he sort of reluctantly accepted this explanation from Wang Chong.
"If you father and son have something serious to say, wait until after the meal. Chong'er, ignore your father, come on, eat your vegetables, eat your vegetables!"
On the side, Mrs. Wang was extraordinarily happy to hear this.
At first, when she heard that Wang Chong was going to join the army, she was really shocked, and her heart was filled with sadness. Later, she was relieved to hear that it was just to go to the training camp.
The Wang family was a family of generals and ministers, and Wang Chong was only fifteen years old this year, so going to a training camp first and then joining the army was not unacceptable to Mrs. Wang.
This was almost always the case with the general's family in the Upper Capital City. As the children of generals, all the children had to mount the battlefield sooner or later.
This was something that the ladies of the Upper Capital City had to be aware of from the start.
Wang Chong said no more, picked up his bowls and chopsticks, and started to eat.
"I don't know, in a moment, if father will take my words to heart."
Wang Chong said with some apprehension in his heart.
Although he had successfully changed his parents' impression of himself, Wang Chong knew that this was only the first step, and the next step was the most important!
