Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 587, Old Acquaintance

The three of them entered the compound, where many people were queuing up.

Someone is registering there.

The three followed the team and completed the registration silently.

"You're done going to Crane G City??"

Feng Aijun looked at Yang Xiaole's list and glanced at it curiously.

Yang Xiaole also looked at the lists of several people, and the lists of the three people were different.

Before new recruits join the army, they do not know the address and number of their unit. They only find out after they arrive and are assigned to a company.

There is only one address where new recruits report.

There is a commander who receives the soldiers at the train station.

Feng Aijun went to the south just as he thought, while Feng Xue was in Harbin, most likely in the provincial military region.

This confirmed his guess that the three of them were not in the same place.

“I’m still in the Northeast!”

Looking at the two people's registration location, Yang Xiaole shrugged and said something.

Feng Xue stretched his head to take a look, with a look of regret on his face: "It would be great if we were still in the same unit!"

"Well, all good things must come to an end. Let's go back to BJ and meet again then!"

Yang Xiaole looked at the two of them and spoke with a smile.

Feng Aijun also nodded: "Yes! It's not like we can't meet in the future. Maybe when you see me next time, I'll be a leader! Xiaole, remember to salute when you see me next time!"

Hearing this, Feng Xue rolled her eyes.

This is actually possible.

Once you join the army, in the early stages you rely on yourself, but in the later stages, connections are really important.

Yang Xiaole looks very outstanding now, and he is indeed very outstanding, but it is hard to say whether he will be the same when we meet again in a few years.

Feng Xue thought of something when he heard this, and said in confusion: "I don't even know which unit I'm in after I go to the army. What should I do?"

Feng Aijun also nodded in approval.

After thinking for a while, he said, "How about this! After we join the army, we can write a letter to Wang Lao Er, and then ask him to write to us and tell us our address. That way, he will know where we are!"

Feng Xue was delighted when she heard this: "Oh, that's fine! It's settled."

Yang Xiaole smiled when he heard this and did not object.

Then we chatted and waited.

The Armed Forces arranged food.

In the cafeteria here, each person received two white steamed buns and a dish.

Not long after the meal, the people from the People's Armed Forces Department and the commanders of the troops began to call the roll.

Once everyone is gathered, a bus will be sent to the train station in the city.

The three of them got into the car.

When we arrived at the place, there were already quite a few people waiting there.

When Yang Xiaole arrived at the place, he was told to report to the chief who was receiving the soldiers.

The others took the train to Harbin to join the main force.

"Xiao Le! Let's go! Take care!"

Seeing that they were about to separate, Feng Aijun gave Yang Xiaole a bear hug, feeling a little reluctant to let go.

Yang Xiaole hugged him and said, "Be careful too! The south is not very peaceful right now."

You know, a lot of people sacrificed their lives to help the ungrateful monkey.

He didn't want to hear any bad news either.

Not only him, but all Chinese people don't want to hear it.

"Well, take care of yourself too, the riverside isn't safe!"

The two said goodbye.

Yang Xiaole looked at Feng Xue and said with a smile: "Well, it's time to separate. Don't worry, we will have a chance to meet again in the future."

Feng Xue pouted and her eyes turned red when she heard this.

Then he nodded.

The two followed the chief who was receiving the soldiers and left, while Yang Xiaole went to find the chief who was receiving the soldiers here.

"Hello comrade, I'm here to report!"

After coming over, I handed him my information.

The other party took the thing, looked at it, and said, "Wait a minute!"

Registered there.

After a while, after the registration was completed, he gave him a ticket: "Take this ticket and ride two stops, someone will pick you up there!"

Yang Xiaole took the note and looked at it.

It's not a train ticket, it's just a boarding certificate.

This is the last stop, but this is a civilian station. There are several military stations below.

No ordinary operations.

"Any car will do?"

"Yes! Anything is fine, as long as it's going to the back. You wait here, I'll call you when the car arrives!"

Yang Xiaole nodded and waited there quietly.

He didn't have to wait too long. Half an hour later, the car arrived.

I was taken by the other party and boarded the train.

It’s just that this train is a compartment train, and is actually used to transport goods.

I made do with it and got on the train.

Half an hour later, the carriage door opened and stopped in front of two tiled houses.

This is my destination.

"What do you do?"

At the station, an old man asked him a question, with a wolfhound beside him.

"Oh, I'm a new recruit!" and handed the thing to the other party.

The old man took the thing and looked at it curiously, then gave it back to him: "Oh! Come in with me!"

At this time, Yang Xiaole had a strange look on his face.

Because I met an old acquaintance.

The platform is made of cement and appears to have been renovated in the past two years.

Then he entered the tile-roofed house.

The other party took the things back to the main room and turned into the inner room.

At this time, there was a person sitting on the kang.

"Yang Xiaole!"

"Captain Song!"

The other party was Song Lin, who was in his previous border defense company.

Song Lin was also very happy to see him: "When I saw the list, I thought I had seen it wrong! I didn't expect it to be you!"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Captain Song, why are you here to receive the soldiers? Isn't this the job of the platoon leader?"

Hearing this, Song Lin laughed: "If it's not me, who else could it be?"

"You two know each other?"

The old man next to him asked Song Lin.

Song Lin smiled and said, "I know him. Something happened by the river before..."

Let’s talk about the general situation.

Then he introduced: "This is Stationmaster Liu, a veteran revolutionary."

Yang Xiaole looked at the other party and saluted: "Hello, Chief!"

"It doesn't have to be like this!"

As he spoke, he handed the information to Song Lin, took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang.

There was also a bottle of wine and three dishes on the kang table.

Peanuts, dried fish and a plate of stir-fried cabbage.

"Put your things down and sit down! Have a drink."

Song Lin said with a smile.

Yang Xiaole didn't hesitate to put his things down and followed him to get on the kang.

After the wine was poured, Song Lin asked, "It's great that you're joining our company. But let me make this clear first! Friendship is friendship, but the army has its own rules!"

He said this in a pretend serious tone.

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Of course! I have always followed the rules."

He felt a little guilty about what he said. The old man looked at him and smiled, "I didn't realize it! He can make meritorious service in the militia. He is a good candidate."

Yang Xiaole smiled.

"Old comrade, are you the only one at this station?"

"Yeah! Why do we need so many people? Look at the station."

Then a few people started chatting.

The other person’s age was actually not particularly old, only forty-five, so he couldn’t be considered an old man.

And the other party is not married yet.

Yang Xiaole looked at Song Lin and asked curiously, "How many of us are there? I'm not the only one."

"How can it be!"

Song Lin said with a smile, and then said: "Tonight, or maybe tomorrow morning, a group of people will come over, and I'm here to pick them up. There will be 40 people in total!"

"Are they all from the same place?"

"No, there are people from all over the country, all the way from Shanghai."

"Why don't you go through the regiment headquarters? Go directly to the company?"

When new recruits arrive, they will go to the recruit company and will be assigned to a company after training for a period of time.

Only the educated youth in the Corps’ farms did not need to undergo training in the recruit company.

Because strictly speaking, these people are not soldiers.

Now the only allowance for soldiers is 6 yuan per month for new recruits in the first year.

After the educated youth entered the farm, they received a salary of 28.5 cents per month.

Of course, the border defense company of the Corps Farm is in combat sequence, so the situation is somewhat different.

Received a 6 dollar allowance and did farm work.

Even so, everyone still wants to go, after all, they are real soldiers.

"The situation is special now! I took you over and put you directly in the company. You will be training in the company. And the summer harvest is coming soon, so you may not have enough time for training."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded lightly.

The border defense company also cannot avoid doing farm work; after all, they are a production and construction corps.

Then a few people started chatting there.

At this time, a thunderstorm started outside.

But the thunderstorm came quickly.

After eating and drinking, it was already late.

Yang Xiaole took out a bottle of wine from his bag and said with a smile, "Stationmaster Liu, judging from your accent, you are from Shanxi, right? This is what I brought back from my last trip to Beijing."

Put the wine on the table.

Stationmaster Liu took it, looked at the bottle and said with a cheerful smile: "Boy, that's great! You can hear that?"

“I can hear a little bit.”

Although the other person's mouth smelled like corn, it was still audible.

Stationmaster Liu smiled and put the things down: "I can't accept this! You are just a child, what's the point of me taking your things!"

"It's okay! I still have a bottle in my bag!"

Yang Xiaole said with a smile.

Hearing this, Stationmaster Liu pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Okay, if you have any difficulties in the future, as long as it does not violate the principles, come to me!"

Song Lin, who was standing next to him, smiled and said, "Stationmaster Liu is an old revolutionary, and he is an old comrade of the leaders in the sub-district."

Yang Xiaole raised his eyebrows.

He was just being polite.

After all, the other party was just an old man with no children. After I drank his wine, I habitually returned a bottle to him.

I didn't expect he was so old!
Then he smiled and said nothing.

"They don't know when they will arrive yet! I'll take you to the warehouse, you guys just stay there and have dinner here tonight!"

After the old man finished speaking, he got off the kang and took the two of them to the tile-roofed house next door.

These are several rooms connected together.

But there is no partition inside, it is just a connecting room for storing things.

There is also an iron stove in the middle, and an iron pipe connected to the roof.

There were quite a few sacks and sundries inside, which were cleared out at this time, leaving a considerable open space.

And there was an old blanket in the corner.

Seeing this, Song Lin smiled and said, "Just make do with it tonight."

Yang Xiaole naturally didn't care: "Okay!"

Stationmaster Liu said, "Okay, take a break, don't run around, I'll call you when the people arrive!"

Yang Xiaole agreed.

After everyone left, Song Lin smiled and said, "Okay, take a break. I'll sleep for a while. I don't know when it will be night!"

"Okay, go to sleep!"

Seeing this, Song Lin went to the bedding, lay down there, and fell asleep in a short while.

Yang Xiaole wanted to chat more, but in the end he had no choice but to sit down.

He untied his bedding, found an empty space, and came out.

They waited here boredly until after eight o'clock in the evening. After dark, Stationmaster Liu asked the two of them to have another meal.

It gets dark late here, and it is almost nine o'clock.

Yang Xiaole got up very early in the morning and was a little sleepy, so he just lay down and fell asleep.

Fortunately, the train did not arrive at night.

The next morning, it was past three o'clock and the sky was already completely bright when Yang Xiaole got up.

"You should get some more sleep! There's no need to rush back until they come!"

Seeing that he woke up, Song Lin said to him.

Yang Xiaole smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay! You won't be sleepy when you wake up."

"That's fine! We'll go over there once they arrive. The car is late."

After that, he went out.

Yang Xiaole followed him out, took out his toothbrush and toothpaste, and found some water to wash himself.

The car was delayed for quite some time.

We waited until after ten in the morning before the train slowly pulled into the station.

After getting off the train, four or five people got off.

Without paying any attention to other people, he ran to the train and made preparations.

A man who was obviously a leader was holding a horn. As the whistle sounded, two carriages were opened, revealing a group of excited young people.

At this time, it started raining.

The commander of the troops was wearing a raincoat and holding a loudspeaker, and started shouting there.

"Comrades, you have come to Heilongjiang Province and Heilongjiang Province from all over the country. You have performed very well and worked very hard along the way. Now we have finally arrived safely and victoriously at our destination, the Great Northern Wilderness. I order you to take your luggage and get off the bus."

At this time, a group of people were shouting excitedly there.

There is a feeling of selflessness.

Yang Xiaole watched there.

Just like when they first came here, they were all extremely excited.

After half a year of beating, it probably won't be in this state anymore.

When they heard the order to get off the car, everyone rushed out shouting and supporting each other.

Stationmaster Liu directed these people to go to the warehouse!
Soon, people rushed into the warehouse.

Everyone looked at Yang Xiaole with curiosity, but no one paid any attention to him.

At this time, the other carriages of the train were not opened and there were still many people inside. It was obvious that these people were definitely going to the next stop.

After these people came in, they were all there sorting out their wet clothes.

They were chatting there with laughter.

Suddenly, I don’t know what happened!

People in the crowd started quarreling, and then they started fighting.

Yang Xiaole shook his head when he saw this scene.

We're all here, but we're still messing around with those factions, because they can start a fight over just a few words.

"Dudududu!"

While he was thinking, Song Lin came over in the rain and shouted coldly, "What are you doing? Why are you arguing? Who told you to do that?"

Now, everyone quieted down. You looked at me, I looked at you, and no one spoke.
