Everyone's been reborn, who'd still want to join the army!

Chapter 1 I'm Going to Make It Big!!! [Please Read On! Please Add to Your Favorites!]

"Son... now that you have your uniform, you're officially a member of the military."

"Do a good job in the army, and don't embarrass me and your mother."

Chu Weiguo drove his secondhand van carefully along the bumpy cement road, muttering to himself as he drove.

"Your mother passed away early, and your father wasn't very capable. His greatest hope in this life was to raise you."

"When you meet your mother in the future, your father will have something to say."

"Two years of training in the military not only exempts you from tuition fees, but also makes it easier to find a job after graduation."

"By then, among your peers, you'll be this one!"

Getting excited, Chu Weiguo stretched out his right hand and gave Chu Zhao a thumbs up.

He had thought that his earnest and heartfelt teachings would move Chu Zhao.

But his outstretched right hand did not receive the expected response.

Turning my head, I saw Chu Zhao sitting in the passenger seat, holding his military uniform in his hands. He had lowered his head at some point, and his head was swaying back and forth with the bumps of the van.

Seeing this, Chu Weiguo was furious and forgot about "safe driving". His right hand, which was hovering, suddenly moved in mid-air and delivered a solid punch to the back of Chu Zhao's exposed head!

"Snapped!"

"You little rascal! Did you sneak out to go online again last night?"

"You can fall asleep in such a short time?"

Slap down.

Chu Zhao, who had been dozing off, seemed to be startled and suddenly jumped up from his seat, his face showing a desperate and terrified expression, while he muttered incoherently.

"The cooking method has changed!"

"Run! Everyone retreat immediately!"

Looking at Chu Zhao, who seemed possessed by a ghost, Chu Weiguo hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't hold back and slapped him again, roaring in anger.

"You really did go play games!"

"Fire? What game did you learn this new word from?"

This time.

Chu Zhao no longer reacted as if he had been on cue; instead, he sat there blankly, looking lost.

He covered his head, his mind still replaying the hellish scene.

Flames rose.

A fiery serpent, several meters tall, coiled around the tree trunk, twisting and turning wantonly, mocking the insignificance of humankind.

Looking up, all that remained between heaven and earth was a raging fire.

Ancient trees that have grown for countless years will, in just a few breaths, be assimilated into the fire demon, accompanied by crackling sounds.

This is undoubtedly a natural disaster.

But for Chu Zhao, who had been a forest firefighter for ten years, such a scene was already a familiar sight.

Even this fire was considered a "small-scale" fire compared to the forest fires Chu Zhao had fought during his military career, and it was an easily controllable "downhill fire".

If all goes well, the fire should be extinguished soon.

There's a reason why forest firefighters are called "the most dangerous profession in peacetime."

The wind suddenly changed direction.

Chu Zhao, who was in charge of on-site command and fire observation, immediately discovered that what was originally a "downhill fire" had turned into an extremely dangerous "uphill fire!"

The firefighters, who were fighting the fire along its tail, suddenly found themselves facing the head of the fire, which represented destruction and death!

Chu Zhao had no recollection of what happened after that.

He still seemed to feel the burning pain from the flames, but he couldn't tell if it was an illusion or reality.

Thank goodness.

Chu Weiguo's subsequent third major confrontation helped Chu Zhao resolve this problem.

"Snapped!"

"I'm talking to you!"

The overwhelming flames gradually faded from Chu Zhao's mind due to the intense pain in the back of his neck, finally giving him the energy to assess his situation.

The familiar bread truck... the familiar road... and Chu Weiguo's familiar face, etched with age by the passage of time.

I don't know why.

When I saw this face that had supported me through the trials and tribulations of the military, I felt a surge of emotion.

It was as if a switch had been flipped on Chu Zhao, and tears streamed down her face without warning.

"Father!"

Without the slightest hesitation.

Chu Zhao hugged Chu Weiguo tightly as he was driving, letting her torrent of tears gradually soak Chu Weiguo's coat, which smelled of engine oil.

Now, it was Chu Weiguo who was frightened.

She looked at her son who suddenly hugged her and burst into tears.

Chu Weiguo's face still retained some anger.

But on ordinary days, those words of reprimand that he could easily utter would linger in Chu Weiguo's throat, yet he could never bring himself to say them.

He stopped the bread cart, turned to the side, reached out, and hugged his son.

It's strange, really.

In Chu Weiguo's memory, Chu Zhao was still a small child, a baby he could hold in one hand.

How did he turn into a taller and stronger boy than me in just the blink of an eye?

A strange emotion surged within Chu Weiguo, but he remained unforgiving in his words.

"A grown man like him, always crying!"

"You still have several days before you go to join the army, why are you crying now!"

Chu Weiguo's words immediately enlightened Chu Zhao!

He was crying his heart out just a second ago, but suddenly pulled himself out of Chu Weiguo's arms and looked around the car.

His gaze eventually settled on the military uniform at the knees.

Based on his extensive experience accumulated over the past decade, including reading online novels in bed and while on night duty, Chu Zhao immediately figured out what had happened to him!

He is reborn!

It's like going back to the moment before I joined the army and received my uniform!

In an instant, Chu Zhao's mind went blank, and then it was filled with countless chaotic thoughts.

Real estate speculation... Bitcoin... Lottery... Graphics cards... RAM...

These jumbled thoughts gradually coalesced in Chu Zhao's mind into a single idea.

I'm going to be rich!

"Old Chu."

"Do you believe your son will become a billionaire, achieve great success, and bring honor to the family?"

Looking at the serious-looking Chu Zhao, Chu Weiguo blinked in confusion. After a moment, he raised his hand and launched another powerful attack!

"What the hell did you call me?"

"You little rascal, you really need to be taught a lesson!"

This slap was more powerful than the previous three combined.

Chu Zhao grimaced in pain, but couldn't contain his joy.

Yep!

That's the feeling!

handy!

The bread truck started up again.

Chu Zhao rubbed his neck and realized that this was not the way home.

"Dad, are you going to the factory again?"

Since I was laid off.

Chu Weiguo then went to a foreign-owned factory in the local industrial park, and with his sixth-level fitter skills, he raised Chu Zhao from infancy.

With his abilities, he could have earned a higher income in the neighboring southeastern region.

But he still chose to stay.

Because he simply couldn't let go of Chu Zhao.

Chu Zhao's mother passed away from illness when he was three years old.

Looking at his bewildered son and his wife's deceased face, Chu Weiguo chased away the matchmaker who had come to the door, and held Chu Zhao in his arms, not wanting his son to see the tears he shed.

From that day on, Chu Weiguo shouldered the heavy burden of the family all by himself.

While supporting his own and his deceased wife's parents, he also acted as both father and mother, finally raising Chu Zhao to adulthood.

Chu Zhao lived up to expectations. Although he was a bit mischievous, he never caused Chu Weiguo any trouble with his studies from childhood to adulthood, and he even got into Anhui University in Jianghuai Province.

The day the admission notice was delivered to his home was the day Chu Weiguo stood as straight as he could have in his entire life.

However, the various expenses that followed became a new burden on Chu Weiguo's shoulders.

Chu Weiguo's salary is not low.

A senior technician, combined with work for a foreign company, can earn more than 50,000 yuan a year.

In Luzhou in 07.

This is enough for a family to live a comfortable life.

But for Chu Weiguo, this money was far from enough; it could barely support four elderly people and pay for Chu Zhao's schooling.

In addition, Chu Weiguo was a filial son and always wanted to make his father's life more comfortable.

Color TVs, refrigerators, and other large items were moved one after another into the home of the four elderly people, making their lives increasingly difficult.

Given their family's circumstances, they are actually eligible to apply for some welfare benefits.

Despite being laid off, Chu Weiguo still retains the stubbornness of the working class from the last century and the sense of responsibility of a veteran Party member.

"I have hands and feet, why should I be a burden to the organization?"

"There are many people who are having a harder time than me; they are the ones who need help!"

The staff member who came to the door looked at Chu Weiguo's angry face and had no choice but to offer a compromise.

Let Chu Zhao join the army.

Upon returning from military service, tuition is waived, and the military and government also provide a sum of money!

Furthermore, joining the army is an honor in itself, and it can be considered a contribution to the people and the country.

It's only right that we enjoy some benefits!

Chu Weiguo, who was initially very resistant, agreed on the spot after hearing this, and even invited the staff to stay for a meal!

As a father.

He didn't want to miss any opportunity to help his son succeed.

However, although the tuition fee issue has been resolved.

But the burden on Chu Weiguo's shoulders is still very heavy.

Chu Zhao will get married in the future and needs to buy a house.

As the four elderly people grew older, they suffered from more and more headaches and fevers, all of which cost money.

Facing the burdens of life.

Chu Weiguo dared not stop, nor could he stop.

However, this kind of life may seem tiring.

But Chu Weiguo still felt from the bottom of his heart that life was full of hope.

"Um."

"I took an hour off to accompany you to pick up your uniform, and with my lunch break, the time was just right."

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhao immediately moved closer to Chu Weiguo and spoke very seriously.

"Dad, why don't you resign?"

"From now on, I will support the family."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Weiguo rolled his eyes and cursed in an annoyed tone.

"Get lost!"

"Don't give me that bullshit!"

"You're struggling to even support yourself right now!"

"Besides, I'm not old enough to be unable to work yet, you don't need to worry about me!"

That being said.

But the barely suppressed smile on Chu Weiguo's lips betrayed his true thoughts.

My son has really grown up...

Sending him to the army was the right decision!

Before even arriving at the military base, Chu Zhao had already matured, as if he had grown up more than ten years overnight.

When he comes back from the army... who knows what kind of transformation he'll have undergone!

At that time, Chu Weiguo can confidently hand over the burden of the family to Chu Zhao.

As for now... his old bones can still hold on!

Chu Zhao, who had been rebuffed, originally wanted to say something.

But upon further reflection, Chu Zhao also felt that without any evidence, it was really not very convincing.

If we continue with this topic, I might get a few more big arguments.

One aspect is enjoyment, but too much of it becomes torture.

With this in mind, Chu Zhao simply stopped talking and silently planned his next move in his mind, letting the facts prove that what he said was not just empty talk on a whim!

Soon, the bread truck stopped.

"Don't wander around after you get off the bus, hurry home."

Nodding obediently, Chu Zhao reached for his seatbelt and was about to get out of the car when Chu Weiguo suddenly reached out and shoved something heavy into his hand.

"Take it."

"I was planning to give you this watch on the day you went to the army."

"But seeing you all tearful today... I might as well give it to you now."

"I've heard that life in the army is tough. When you feel like giving up, just look at this watch."

"In the past, there were times when Dad felt he couldn't hold on any longer, and this watch was always there to help me get through them."

"Now, it's his turn to be with you."

Hesitated for a moment.

Chu Weiguo raised his hand and ruffled Chu Zhao's hair.

This father, who had always presented himself as strong, finally revealed a rare tenderness at this moment.

"I'm actually a little worried about sending you to the army."

"If anything were to happen to you, I really wouldn't be able to face your mother."

"But if we really encounter any important missions, you can't be a coward for me!"

"Your father believes you can become a good soldier."

"A good soldier who makes your mother and me proud!"

Chu Zhao could clearly feel that the watch still carried the warmth of his father's body.

Looking at her father, who had kept a straight face the whole way, she finally saw a smile.

Chu Zhao took a deep breath and said solemnly, word by word.

"Old Chu, don't worry."

"I will definitely live a decent life."

"Hey, you little brat..."

Just as Chu Weiguo raised his hand...

Chu Zhao nimbly opened the car door and slipped out like an eel, then laughed happily.

"Dad, come home soon!"

"I'm cooking tonight, just you wait and see!"

"You wait! I'll deal with you after I get off work!"

Chu Weiguo glared at Chu Zhao, then turned the car around and drove into the factory gate.

Watching the old bread truck gradually disappear into the distance, eventually being concealed by the slowly closing sliding gate.

Chu Zhao lowered his head and looked at the watch he was holding tightly in his palm.

The moment his gaze fell upon the watch.

Two lines of pale blue light screens appeared in his field of vision without warning.
