Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 4 Enlisted in the Army that Year
Li Zheng wanted to bang his head against the wall.

The gift is a Duan inkstone, carefully selected by Li Zheng.

I heard Shao Xiaoqian say that her father likes to dance and write when he is free, and buying the four treasures of the study is called matching what he likes.

If you don't spend some money, in the future, they will let you take away the Chinese cabbage that you have raised for so many years?

But he never expected that he had just met and dropped the gift when he was nervous.

Looking at the Duan inkstone lying on the ground, Li Zheng was completely wooden this time. Although it was packaged, he didn't know if it was damaged.

At the end, Shao Xianyong broke the deadlock, leaned over to pick up the square inkstone on the ground, weighed it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Young man, don't be nervous, this is not for you to go to the battlefield."

Turning around and pointing to the sofa, he said casually, "Don't stand, sit down."

Li Zheng sat down quickly, looking at his nose, nose, and heart, sitting upright like a primary school student.

Shao Xiaoqian's mother, Li Yueqin, came out of the kitchen and poured tea for them. She sized up Li Zheng for a while before returning to the kitchen to continue working.

When it was time to eat, Shao Xiaoqian told about Li Zhengye signing up to be a soldier.

Hearing that the young man in front of him was going to serve in the army, Shao Xianyong looked very happy.

"Young people should go to the army to exercise." He said: "Your young people today are not short of knowledge and insight, but they are short of iron and blood in their bones."

The words are still a bit unfinished, pointing to the TV and saying: "You can't be like those young people on the TV. I don't know whether they are male or female. How can the next generation defend our motherland and frontiers?" ?”

Shao Xiaoqian said: "Dad, you can't say that. They are called pseudo-girls, and they are very lethal. Think about it, even a veteran like you who has been on the battlefield saw tea sprayed all over the place last time. Let those hypocrites form a group and stand there, killing the enemy is not enough, but it can disgust the enemy to death!"

Shao Xianyong was amused by his daughter and laughed, and Li Yueqin also laughed, and he didn't forget to criticize, making his daughter speak like a girl should.

Li Zheng was very nervous at first, thinking that Shao Xianyong should be a senior military officer at the head level. In his habitual thinking, he always thought that a soldier was a very serious profession, and he was a serious profession.

But after talking about it, I found out that even a high-ranking commander is a loving father when he returns home and takes off his military uniform in front of his daughter. No matter how many stars are on his shoulders, his precious daughter can still tease and amuse him.

The atmosphere was very harmonious, and the family feast took two hours to end.

As a veteran, Shao Xianyong naturally wanted to encourage young juniors like Li Zheng who pursued their military dreams.

In his words, although Li Zheng and Shao Xiaoqian are a couple now, there is still a long way to go in the future. If they can't bear even a temporary separation, how can they spend decades together in the future?
Li Zheng listened, his heart was full of joy.

Shao Xianyong didn't seem to object, and by saying that, he clearly agreed with his daughter's choice and would not interfere.

After leaving Shao Xiaoqian's house, it was past eight o'clock at night. Li Zheng felt an indescribable joy in his chest. Looking at the stars in the sky and the quiet military barracks around him, he couldn't help but hugged Shao Xiaoqian beside him. , spun around in circles, and yelled, "Xiaoqian, I love you!"

While smiling happily, Shao Xiaoqian pretended to thump Li Zheng's back, and shouted coquettishly: "Put me down, this is a military camp, don't let anyone see it!"

This scene has always been deeply engraved in Li Zheng's heart. Even after he came to the military camp, whenever he thought of the sweetness of that moment, he would put a happy smirk on his face like an idiot.

Time passed quietly, and autumn came in a blink of an eye.

After completing a series of procedures for physical examination and political examination, Li Zheng put on the camouflage uniform issued by the Ministry of Armed Forces, put on big red flowers, walked to the station amidst the sound of gongs and drums, and walked into his own military years.

Shao Xiaoqian and Li Zheng did not leave on the same day, and the female soldiers had to leave two days earlier.

When leaving, Li Zheng went to see it off.

When it was time to get in the car, Shao Xiaoqian's eyes were red, she quietly stuffed a note into Li Zheng's hand, and turned to get in the car.

Li Zheng chased on the platform for a while before he remembered the note. He opened his palm and saw that there was a line written on it - I look forward to you enlisting in the army wearing a big red flower and retiring with a military medal!Come on, my man!

Shao Xiaoqian joined the army two days earlier than Li Zheng, and all went to the G military region.

Li Zheng went to the Tiger Regiment under the D Group Army of the G Military Region.

The Tigers, that name sounds loud enough.

On the day he enlisted in the army and went to the barracks, Li was the loneliest person in the entire train station.

Others have family members to see him off, but he didn't.

Grandma was getting old, and Li Zheng didn't want her to come all the way to the station to see him off. Only a teacher from the school came to see her off on behalf of the school.

"Li Zheng, you must work hard when you are in the army, and don't lose face to our Tunghai University."

The teacher who sent him was surnamed Luo, who taught criminal law. Anyone who studies law is an absolute realist who tends to over-rational thinking.

Sure enough, after some encouragement, Mr. Luo changed the subject, and said with a little regret: "With your grades, you can keep your postgraduate studies after finishing your undergraduate course. There is a great chance of staying in school in the future. Others will serve as soldiers." I can still understand, I never expected you to choose to be a soldier."

Li Zheng said: "Being a soldier is my dream."

Teacher Luo’s expression seemed to be looking at aliens. In his opinion, most of the college students who went to the army still wanted to find a way out. Many people went for extra points in the postgraduate entrance examination, and some went for tuition reduction.

Li Zheng receives scholarships every year, so it seems that he shouldn't care about these things.

But he is a teacher, and he can't clearly say that this kind of practice is not advisable. After all, it is a good thing to contribute to the country.

So he smiled and said, "It's good for young people to have dreams..."

After a pause, I felt that I still need to remind Li Zheng: "But it will be fine in the past two years, don't stay in the army for too long."

Li Zheng immediately understood Mr. Luo's "good intentions". The latter meant that although college students who enlist in the army according to the regulations can return to school to study their majors within two years after retiring from active service, their student status will always be retained.

In other words, no matter how many years you have been in the army, you still have your school status, and you can return to school to study when you leave the army.

It's just that if you stay for too long, even if you go back to school or even graduate, you will still suffer a disadvantage compared with your peers in the future.

The disadvantage is age.

For example, you served as a non-commissioned officer for five years. Based on Li Zheng’s current age of 21, he was 26 when he was discharged from the army. After returning to school for another two years, he was already 28 when he graduated. Most of my brothers have either graduated from law firms or entered the public examination system for a few years, and those who have graduated with a master’s degree have also graduated and are employed, and I am still a "fresh student" who has just obtained a diploma and entered the society to find a way out.

This is Mr. Luo's kindness starting from "realism".

Li Zheng understood, but was unmoved.

Being a soldier is not a matter of impulse. For Li Zheng, it is a matter of deliberation.

What is dream?
It's something you can sacrifice everything to pursue.

Whether life is complete without leaving regrets depends on whether you have realized your dreams.

"Thank you, teacher."

Teacher Luo could clearly see what Li Zheng was thinking. He was a little embarrassed, knowing that it was meaningless for him to say such things at this time.

So he coughed twice, concealed his emotions, and then found an excuse to leave: "There is still something to do at school, teacher, I won't send you to the car, I guess the leaders of this city will gather you to talk later , you know me, I am interested in majors, I hate those superficial skills the most, so let's go first."

Li Zheng nodded quickly: "Teacher, go and do your work. I will take care of myself. Thank you, teacher, for coming to see me off."

Teacher Luo looked around, and there were all young people who had just joined the army and were surrounded by their families, and Li Zheng was alone.

He is an orphan, Teacher Luo knows.

But Li Zheng is the most competitive student he has ever seen. No matter where this young man goes, Mr. Luo does not feel that he needs to worry. He can live well in Africa.

"Let's go, Li Zheng, let's live up to it!"

He clenched his fist, swung vigorously at Li Zheng twice, turned around and walked out of the square.

As soon as Teacher Luo left, a chubby recruit appeared from behind like a ghost.

"You are college students?"

Li Zheng was taken aback by the suddenness. He found that this guy was walking silently, appearing and disappearing like a ghost in a movie.

At first glance, it suddenly felt unscientific.

This guy is chubby, bigger than him, shorter than him, and definitely weighs a third more than him.

Everything about this guy looks big, except for the small eyes, like two sesame seeds left on his face randomly.

"right……"

"From Tunghai University?"

"Um……"

"A prestigious university!"

Fatty immediately became excited, regardless of whether they knew each other or not, a pair of fleshy hands stretched out involuntarily, grabbed Li Zheng's hands, and shook them violently.

The expression on his face was like that of a relative seeing the People's Liberation Army.

Li Zheng was a little confused by the sudden enthusiasm of the fat man.

The fat man in front of him was neither close nor old, but on his face he had the familiar enthusiasm that only a pyramid schemer could have.

What does he want to do?

Look at the camouflage uniform on his body that is exactly the same as his own, and the silver trolley case uniformly issued by the Ministry of Armed Forces.

That's right, this guy is a recruit just like himself.

"You and I……"

Li Zheng's face was full of embarrassment, and he tried desperately to withdraw his hand, but he couldn't retract it no matter what. The fat man had a lot of strength, and he grabbed it tightly.

The fat man said sincerely: "Don't be afraid, let's make friends, I... graduated from high school, no, I just barely graduated from high school, my high school teacher is afraid that I will stay in school, so I have to graduate quickly Get out, so I like to make friends with you famous college students, my surname is Wei, and my name is Wei Guoxing, you call me Fat Brother, they all call me that."

Li Zheng blushed, and almost begged, "Okay... Fat Brother, let go first. It's broad daylight, and we two old men are holding hands like this... It's not good..."

Fat brother woke up like a dream, "Oh", and finally retracted his two fat paws.

"It's okay. From now on, we will be comrades-in-arms of the revolution who eat food with a spoon in the pot. How did you sing in that song?...Eat the same pot of food, sleep in the same bed..."

Li Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this guy can really make a fuss, and he sang it all.

Fatty Wei, who let go of his hand, suddenly remembered something important, turned around, and opened a leather bag on the trolley bag, revealing strips of soft red China inside.

Although Li Zheng didn't smoke, he knew that the cigarettes were very expensive. It seemed that the fat man in front of him was not short of money.

Fatty Wei took out one without any distress, stuffed it into Li Zheng's hand, and said as he stuffed it, "Take it, brother, you will be my brother in the future. If you have any difficulties, remember to ask me, fat brother. You are going to the D Army, right?" ?Me too……"

He was nagging, like Society B was recruiting younger brothers.

Li Zheng is not a master who likes to take advantage, so he quickly refused: "Fat brother, I don't smoke."

"Don't smoke?" The fat man's two sesame eyes became smaller, but his gaze became more focused, and he seemed to see some monster when he pierced Li Zheng's face.

"Men don't smoke?"

Li Zheng originally thought that not smoking was the healthiest way of life, but looking at Fatty Wei's expression of hating iron and steel, it seemed that not smoking was something he had done that was outrageous.

Fatty Wei's hesitation didn't last for three seconds, and Da Zhonghua smoked it again: "You don't have to smoke it, take it, and give it to the squad leader and platoon leader when you get to the army, it's a relationship!"

Li Zheng noticed Fatty Wei's rustic-looking leather bag, brown in color, with "LV" printed all over it.

Donkey brand!

If it is not the A product from Guangzhou, it is estimated that the unit of this bag will be calculated in [-] yuan?
Just when one of them insisted on giving and the other pushed back and forth, the assembly whistle sounded, and then a cadre of the armed forces shouted with a loudspeaker——

"Assemble! All come to me to gather!"

After Li Zheng heard it, he felt amnesty, and quickly said: "Assemble, assemble first!"

After speaking, he hurriedly ran to the cadres of the armed forces to gather.

The recruits Wuyang Wuyang stood together and finally formed a line.

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Fatty Wei was actually standing on his right side, winking at him.

"Quiet! Quiet!"

The cadre of the Armed Forces Department with a loud voice yelled a few times, and finally calmed down the formation of recruits in front of him.

"Next, let the city leaders speak first."

A cadre with gold-rimmed glasses and a gentle white shirt who looked like a leader walked to the front of the team, stood under the fluttering red flag, took out the speech script, and began to speak impassionedly.

This kind of speech must be read once a year. For the cadres in charge of conscription, they are familiar with it. They can change it a little every year and read it accordingly. We must win glory for our hometown and strive to see the good news of everyone's meritorious service as soon as possible.

The speech is not long-winded, and it will be done in about 15 minutes.

The cadres of the Armed Forces announced again with a loud voice: "Next, let's invite the representative of the recruits to speak!"

At the rear of the recruit team, a tall and handsome recruit wearing a 07-style digital camouflage camouflage uniform strode forward. When he reached the front of the team, he first saluted the officers of the armed forces and the city leaders beside him, and then A standard right turn, facing all recruits.

After seeing who was coming, Li Zheng's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

This recruit representative is none other than Zhang Jian who met near Shao Xiaoqian's house!
Why did he come to join the army? !

Why didn't I see him before?

Countless exclamation marks and question marks popped out of his mind, and Li Zheng couldn't close his mouth.

　Thanks to the leader of the storyteller brother for the reward, and thanks to the old book friend Shining Darkness 2, soaring to three thousand, and the flying ellipse
　　Waiting for book friends to reward!
　　Love you guys!
