Would They Be Dumbfounded?
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
"Another second-class merit?"
In the old company back home, Old Wang, holding the phone, was a bit bewildered.
How long has it been?
Just yesterday, he had returned from his hometown.
One second-class merit, and it became a big deal.
They even burned incense and updated the family genealogy.
But today, his wife called and told him that their son had earned another second-class merit.
Since when did second-class merits become so easy to come by?
Old Wang's brain felt a bit overwhelmed.
He had lived for so long, and he hadn't seen anyone celebrating and awarding second-class merits in their daily lives, had he?
Or was it the first time that his son had let him witness the grand spectacle of the Armed Forces bringing a plaque to their home?
But now...
"Wife, are you really sure about this? It's not a joke, is it?"
Old Wang's head was spinning, and he sought confirmation from his wife once again.
