Chapter 684: Robert's Decision
Maybe Cornell. Clark's friends at the Military Commission did help with something, and their applications were responded to by the college shortly after they were sent. Horst went to the couple's private mailbox. Strictly speaking, the other party's letter is just a notice, and it is concise to only two lines, one line is the time, place, and a navigation map, and the other line reads: Please arrive at the school on time to take the CPT test, and it will be automatically abandoned after the expiration date.
In this way, Roger's small plan can be considered to be settled, but unlike his friends, who have the full support of the family, Jonny still has to ask his family for instructions.
The work of explaining and persuading the mother took about three days, while with the father Robert, it took only a few minutes.
For Jonny's idea of applying for a military school, his mother was naturally full of resistance. Joanna is not stupid, she obviously understands what her son said, 'Accompany Roger to try, if it doesn't work, she will still follow the original plan.'" "It's just an excuse. With his previous experience in rugby, how could he just 'try' when he saw a thin teenager turn into a man? Joanna really couldn't figure out why she didn't want to have a good future, but suddenly had such a worrying thought.
With his excellent final exam results and comprehensive scores, Jonny can choose almost any prestigious institution in the city. Just a few days ago, the director of admissions at Einhokking University, who is famous in Yinmeng, personally called home, asking him to choose a major on campus and promising a full scholarship.
And is he going to give up such an opportunity?
Everything must have something to do with this trip, and Joanna had to explain to herself that she couldn't imagine what her son had gone through, but the truth was in front of her, after that terrible disaster on the damn Four Seasons, that he actually offered to join the army and apply for some military school, and still to be a heart-wrenching fighter pilot? Joanna couldn't agree to this ridiculous request just because of her safety, but she didn't know how to refuse.
As a mother, she can clearly tell that Jonny has become independent and autonomous in the past three years, with a tenacious personality that his peers cannot match. Confident, steady, and mature, this is the reward of the trust that has been given completely in the past three years, and Joanna has become completely accustomed to all this.
Becoming a housewife has given her a lot of leisure, and over the years, she has read a lot of educational classics at home in small essays and life conversations. Joanna knows that a child with Joni's character, as long as his life path is forcibly interfered with by his parents, his confidence will inevitably be damaged, his personality will be distorted, especially at this age, he will become rebellious and resistant, if he directly refuses to let him join the army, this may not be beneficial to his future.
So the mother played a delaying tactic, hoping that the enthusiasm of the child would subside, but it was obviously to no avail. So he finally agreed to allow Jonny to go to Belyl under duress, provided that he had the permission of his father, who was in Angel City.
Joanna was planning for this, and in her concept, how could Robert agree to Joni to join the army? Over the years, though she felt less and less aware of the man, the man she had known before had a cautious demeanor and loved the family dearly, and it was this man who had been full of hope for her son's future when Jonny was a baby; This is the same person who was opposed to even Jonny joining the rugby team two years ago. Now, at the critical moment when the child has to choose the future, he will not let himself down, set things right, and make the whimsical son retract this completely irrational choice.
But Joanna's thoughts about her husband were wrong, and they couldn't be more wrong. When Jonny dialed Robert in front of him and told him the news that he wanted to be admitted to the flying military school in Puxing Bailey, the chief of staff, who looked indifferent, only nodded slightly in the holographic screen.
"You're already an adult, Jonny, do what you want." He actually cut off the phone directly in Joanna's stunned.
……
The road ahead has been chosen, the goal has been set, everything seems to be the arrangement of fate, at this moment Jonny only feels like there is a pair of arms behind him pushing him forward, unable to contain, only one step at a time. He couldn't comfort Joanna, who was depressed, so he had to harden his heart to make his mother sad.
Fortunately, there is still Hitomi in the house, and since that conversation, the girl's condition seems to have improved, and her attitude towards the mother and son is no longer ignored. She didn't say much, but Joanna was particularly pleased with the apparent recovery of sanity. After Jonny planned to apply for military school, his mother began to become worried, and for a while he didn't even bother to take care of housework and meals.
The smiling pancakes are no longer as tender and translucent as usual, the pretzel frog is so salty that it is almost impossible to eat, Joanna, who is always distracted, is obviously worried about her son's future, the vacuum of death, the unknown war, why does this always gentle child want to join the army?
Hitomi took the initiative to make a dinner when Joanna was not paying attention, and when the meal was served, the pungent aroma actually attracted the mother who was in a bad mood, and the mother and son couldn't help but be amazed after tasting the exquisite meal made by Hitomi, and when Joanna asked where the little charm had learned this skill, the other party only told her briefly.
"Never learned." Hitomi replied seemingly nonchalantly.
