Jiang Li smiled and said, "Husband, now that Ah Zhen has already recovered, I want to apply for a job in the farmland. Although I have limited knowledge of growing crops, I know how to tend to flowers. I might be able to help out."
Hearing this, Feng He looked at his youngest son’s face. Compared to his pale face before, his cheeks were rosy, and he was clearly much more lively and energetic.
Since his wife was unwilling to be cooped up at home, he nodded and agreed readily, "Then, I will help you ask around."
"No need. I will go with my friends," Jiang Li said with a smile.
When they heard this, the father and sons were taken aback. They did not know when she had made a friend. But thinking about her friendly personality, it was normal for her to meet new friends.
"Alright. But you should be more careful when you go out," Feng He nodded.
"I will."
After his parents finished their discussion, Feng Zhen finally said, "Father, Mother, I want to join the training camp and learn how to protect myself."
The moment they heard this, Feng He and Jiang Li rejected this idea instantly.
"No, you are just recovering. We cannot take the risk. What if your condition worsens again?" Feng He said.
"Father, I feel much better now. What is more, I am already fifteen years old, and I am not a child anymore. I need to learn how to protect myself. I cannot hide behind you and my brothers forever," Feng Zhen said.
After he said this, the room fell into silence. When he thought that his parents would reject his request, he heard his eldest brother’s calm voice.
"Father, Mother, since Ah Zhen wants to do it, just let him give it a try. We are no longer living in a peaceful era. No one can guarantee that nothing will happen in the future, and we cannot stay on his side forever. He has to learn how to protect himself sooner or later."
When they heard his words, both Feng He and Jiang Li were persuaded, but they were still hesitating. After all, their youngest son was born with a heart problem, and he had been frail since a baby.
So, even if the doctors already said that he had fully recovered, they still worried that something would happen to him if he suddenly did strenuous exercise. But when they met their eldest son’s calm gaze, they swallowed their words back.
Noticing that his parents had softened up, Feng Zhen quickly said, "Mother, just let me give it a try. I promise I will not push myself. If I feel tired, I will stop immediately."
When Jiang Li saw how her youngest son was acting cute, her heart softened. After a moment, she finally let out a sigh and said, "You can go, but you have to stop the moment you feel unwell."
The moment he heard this, Feng Zhen was overjoyed. He hugged his mother and exclaimed, "Thank you, Mother!"
Since his wife already agreed to this, Feng He did not say anything.
After Feng Zhen got the permission, he urged his eldest brother to help him apply for the training camp. Feng Yun was getting a headache from his youngest brother’s nagging and reluctantly went to the training ground.
Seeing them going out, Feng Xuan picked up his wallet and said, "I’m going, too."
It had been a long time since the three of them spent time together, so Feng Yun agreed immediately. After the three of them went out, Feng He and his wife went to the yard and built a small greenhouse to grow some vegetables.
The location of the villa was in the western area of the second ring, while the location of the training ground was in the outer area of the third ring.
Due to the long distance, Feng Yun took out three bicycles from his space and said, "Each of you can get one."
When they saw the bicycles, both Feng Xuan and Feng Zhen were happy. "Thank you, Brother!" They thanked him and chose their bikes.
Thanks to this, they managed to reach the training ground in forty minutes. When they arrived, they parked the bikes near the entrance.
Seeing them coming, the guards smiled and greeted Feng Yun. "Comrade Feng, what brings you here?"
The Phantom team often went on missions using military choppers, and they often used the open field in the training ground as a helipad. So, the guards in the training ground all knew his identity, although they were unfamiliar with him.
Feng Yun nodded at them and replied, "I came to enlist my brother at the training ground."
Hearing this, the guards glanced at Feng Xuan and Feng Zhen before one of them said, "Comrade Feng, you can go to the training ground directly. Instructor Jiang is there."
"Thank you." Feng Yun gave the guards a handful of candies before he left with his brothers.
The guards were happy with the unexpected treats.
While they were sharing the candies, Feng Yun turned to his second brother and asked, "Ah Xuan, with our father’s job and my income, there is no need for you to build the wall and earn points."
Before Feng Xuan could reply, Feng Yun raised his hand to stop him and continued, "In the future, Father and I will often leave the base, leaving Mother with you and Ah Zhen."
"I want you to join the training camp and learn combat skills. In case we are not around and something happens, you will be responsible for protecting our Mother."
At first, Feng Xuan wanted to tell his eldest brother that he could earn money and did not want to burden his family. But after he heard his brother’s words, he realized that he was too small-minded.
His eldest brother was right. Without his father and eldest brother, he, as the second son, would be the one to shoulder the responsibility to protect his Mother and youngest brother.
Reaching this conclusion, Feng Xuan nodded and agreed immediately. "Brother, I will listen to you."
"Good. After we register your name, you should inform your leader," Feng Yun nodded.
"Okay."
