They are all in the army, who is in love?

Chapter 105 Jiang Pai’s letter, about the choice between non-commissioned officers and officers!

After strolling around outside, everyone returned to the dormitory, sat on the pony and stared boredly.

Suddenly no one cares about it, no one asks, I really don't feel comfortable with it.

Usually at this time, either to recite the rules and regulations, or to be dragged by the monitor to attend lectures, or to rush to the training ground to improve physical fitness.

Wang Shuaibing nestled on the mat, took out his mobile phone from his pocket to check the time, and was about to browse short videos for a while, when Chen Ming saw it, he was stunned for a moment.

"Sent a mobile phone? When did you send it?"

"what?"

"I sent it after I came back from the auditorium. Brother Chen, all your things are put in the metal cabinet."

"All the things I took away when I first entered the camp were distributed. I fully charged the mobile phone for you, and it is in the metal cabinet."

Wang Shuaibing pointed to a row of cabinets on the right side of the dormitory.

"Hey, why don't you say it earlier." Chen Ming smiled helplessly, took the phone out of the metal cabinet and turned it on.

Just one minute later, all the "di, di, di" on the phone were text messages.

Looking down, the reminder of the caller ID shows that more than a dozen parents have come, and the eldest aunt, second aunt, third aunt, and fourth aunt add up to [-] to [-] missed calls.

Opened WeChat, Jiang Kexin also sent a message, and the last message read: "See and reply."

There are more than 80 messages in total, which is three-quarters less than the original hundreds.

Chen Ming shook his head and long-pressed to delete the chat without clicking on it. He was waiting for the day when the other party didn't even have a message when he sent a message on his phone.

At that time, just delete the friend peacefully and it will be over.

Jiang Kexin's problem is easy to solve, if you see it, you don't see it, but the parents
Chen Ming took a deep breath and said, "Brothers, stay here for now. I'll call home and I'll be back later."

"Okay, Brother Chen, go ahead."

After Chen Ming confessed, he hurriedly left the dormitory building, ran to a sheltered place, turned on his cell phone and dialed back.

"Dong dong. click"

After only three rings, there was a connection sound from the opposite side.

"Dad?" Chen Ming tried to shout, because he didn't know who answered the phone.

"Mingzi? You brat is finally willing to call home." The voice of his father Chen Qianghe came from the other side.

"Mingzi, your uncle, third uncle, and uncle are all sitting at our house now. Can you turn on the video?"

"Today, people from the armed forces in the county came to our house and said that you have made meritorious service in the army and you want to send the good news tomorrow. The family couldn't contact you, so they called your uncle and third uncle to discuss what is going on. .”

"Play a video and explain what's going on."

"Okay Dad, wait for me, I'll find a place with better lighting."

After Chen Ming finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Parents are ordinary people who have been honest and loyal all their lives, and they have made great achievements in the army to send the happy news back. This kind of thing is a big deal for the family.

The uncle was doing well. He went into business when he was young. Although he did not make the business big or strong, he had a lot of experience and raised a good son. When he had nothing to do, he usually followed people from the government in the town to run small projects.

In addition, his son is promising and can be regarded as a decent member of the Chen family.

The third uncle owns a shop in the county's aquatic product market to sell fish. The people he often comes into contact with are also people who do small businesses, and they have a little more connections.

The troops were going home to deliver the good news, and the parents didn't know the details, so they couldn't make up their minds, so they called the uncle, and the third uncle was in charge of the overall situation, which he expected.

After Chen Ming hung up the phone, he ran to the streetlight near the gate of the training ground and clicked on the video call request.

After waiting for a long time, the video call was connected. Father Chen Qianghe and mother Hu Caixia both stared at the screen expectantly.

Perhaps because of working all the year round, the parents look like they are 50 years old even though they are not yet 60 years old.

The vicissitudes of life are full of wrinkles.

"Mingzi/child." The parents shouted at the same time, looking at Chen Ming in military uniform on the screen. The father was okay and kept smiling, while the mother covered her mouth, tears flashing in her eyes.

"Look at what you're doing. You're playing a video for your child. Why are you crying?" Chen Qianghe said a few words to his wife. Looking at the screen, Chen Ming's neck, forehead, and side face all had light Scars and a tanned face.

He also choked up.

"Boy, it's been hard in the army. Come on, come on, say hello to your uncle, third uncle, and uncle. They've all been at home for a long time because of your affairs."

Chen Qianghe held back his thoughts and shook his phone, only to see his uncle sitting on the sofa in the main room at home, wearing a black woolen coat and looking much younger than his father.

Chen Ming was neither close to nor distant from this uncle, that was all. When the screen was facing the uncle, he shouted, but there was nothing more to say.

The third uncle wore a thin black padded coat, got up and walked to the screen, took the phone from his father, looked at it with a smile and said, "Mingzi, you are now a soldier and a gangster, um, you are also strong."

"What's the matter with the injury on your face and chin? Did someone bully you in the army?"

The third uncle frowned and asked.

When Chen Ming was young, this third uncle treated him well, and with his bright personality, he also liked to be close to each other, unlike the uncle's family, and sometimes he was closer than the neighbor's.

"No, third uncle, I accidentally encountered it during the army training, and the army has long since stopped bullying."

"It's okay, it's an injury from a week ago, it's cold, so it's getting better slowly."

"Well, today the county's Armed Forces Department came to our house, and someone from the Veterans Affairs Bureau in Pengcheng City also came to say that you had achieved third-class merit in the army and wanted to send you good news. What's going on?"

"Let me tell you, Mingzi, a soldier is a soldier. You have to be smart. If you are fighting, you should fight. You can't be ambiguous, but you can't go too far, you know?"

"The bullet doesn't have an eye, and it will have a hole when shot down. It's not a joke."

"I've heard that only those who dare to fight can make meritorious service in the army. What have you done?"

"Third Uncle." Chen Ming patted his forehead helplessly.

"There is no war in the army now. I have performed meritorious service because I got a good ranking in the recruit competition this year. I won No. 1 in the competition with thousands of people participating, so I am rewarded for meritorious service."

"Thousands of people? I'm a good boy, and only a few thousand people get the first place to give third-class merit?" The third uncle felt a little bit at a loss again.

And those uncles, uncles, and parents around Chen Ming were all stunned.

The third uncle has a carefree personality and is very nervous, but they are not like that.

Thousands of soldiers are playing field, even if the family doesn't understand, they can still think of the scene at that time.

"Third brother, bring your phone here, what do you know?" the uncle said.

The screen turned to the uncle's face again.

"Mingzi, your parents are very happy that you can make meritorious service, and I am also very happy. In the army, you have to listen to the leaders. Now that you are a soldier, you should do your best."

"Stop fooling around like you used to, learn more from your brother Kaifei, see that your brother Kaifei is now the deputy department of the county land and resources bureau, the most promising child in our family."

"Be a good soldier. After your conscript service is over, think about coming back. Go back to school to get a diploma. After graduation, you can find a good job and work slowly. There is no good way out for being a soldier."

"I know uncle."

Chen Ming nodded without much response.

The brother Kaifei mentioned by the other party is the uncle's son and his cousin.

He is indeed amazing. He was selected as a transfer student when he was studying. After graduation, he joined the county Land and Resources Bureau.

Chen Ming kept his education and came to serve as a soldier, but his family was unwilling. The biggest reason was that his cousin was influencing him. Of course, his uncle also contributed a lot. He must have said a lot in front of his parents about whether he was a soldier Outcome and the like.

Hu Caixia knew that her son was not very close to her uncle, so she saw that she had finished speaking, so she stretched out her hand and said, "Brother, let me say a few words to my son."

"I haven't seen our baby in months."

Mother took the phone, Chen Ming's face was serious just now, and his posture of listening to the lectures immediately changed into a smile.

"Mom, are you in good health recently? Is my father okay?"

"Well, Mingzi, your parents are fine. You don't have to worry. But you, why are your chin and face so bruised? You need to take care of yourself in the army and eat more. Look at how dark and thin you are now."

Hu Caixia said and couldn't help but start wiping away tears.

Chen Ming smiled relaxedly: "Mom, I'm fine. I've said it all. I accidentally encountered this injury during training. I don't need to study and study in the army. I just go for a run after eating all day long. Practice practice tactics."

"It's not as tiring as you think at all. Don't worry, Mom, I'm fine here."

"Tomorrow the city will deliver the good news to our house. An officer from our side should go there with her. Then she will show you the video of my meritorious deeds when I participated in the competition, and the photo she specially took for me tonight."

"It was taken at the headquarters building of our brigade. You and your dad can take a look at it then and then keep it at home."

"The city is sending good news, can't you come back, kid?" Hu Caixia asked in anticipation.

"Mom, I'm here as a soldier. I don't care about many things. I can't go back now, but don't worry, everything is fine with me here."

"Okay, okay, you don't have to worry about it at home, everything is fine, with your uncle and your third uncle helping you, it's okay, you can be a soldier."

"Okay mom."

After hanging up the video, Chen Ming let out a long breath of relief.

I have explained the good news clearly to my family. I will leave the company tomorrow, and I still have a long way to go in the army.

He didn't think much about the rest of the matter, and would talk about it first.

In short, since you have chosen to develop in the military, it is impossible to give up halfway.

Putting the mobile phone back into his pocket, when he was about to get up and go back to the dormitory, monitor Zhao Lifei walked over from the direction of the dormitory.

Chen Ming hurriedly stood at attention: "Hello, squad leader."

"Okay, sit down, there are no outsiders here." Zhao Lifei smiled, and pointed to the curb next to the gate of the training ground.

The two just sat down.

Zhao Lifei fumbled in his pocket for a long time, took out an envelope and handed it to Chen Ming, saying, "Just now I went back to the dormitory to look for you, but Wang Shuaibing said that you called home."

"I thought you were over here."

"Take it apart and see."

"Letter?" Chen Ming stared and touched the envelope in his hand, his face was full of surprise, this kind of thing is not common these days.

Seeing that the seal was still covered with glue, Chen Ming said with a sneer: "Squad leader, we are so close, just tell me if you have anything to do, you don't need this stuff, right?"

"What are you thinking about?" Zhao Lifei laughed, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. He doesn't avoid people when he smokes now.

"Do you think I would do such a polite thing? I didn't write this, it was written by Jiang Pai."

"While you were still taking exams this afternoon, Jiang Platoon suddenly received an arrangement from the brigade to let him study in the military. It will take him probably a month."

"This was written when he came back to pack his things. Only cultural people like Jiang Pai would do this. I can't do it."

"That's true." Chen Ming chuckled, remembering the "Song of the Artillery Brigade" written by the squad leader on a note when he first entered the camp. Fortunately, the dormitory was very humane at that time, and the lyrics were easy to guess.

Otherwise, there really aren't many in class one who are capable of deciphering the class leader's flamboyant handwriting.

"Let's take it apart and have a look. A few days ago, the Jiang platoon said to talk to you after the assessment. I didn't expect that the transfer order to study in the army was issued too quickly."

"It may also be that the study quota was set before the big training, but it was delayed, the notification was late, and I didn't find a chance to chat with you."

"That's it." Chen Ming nodded, and tore open the envelope bit by bit. There was only a piece of manuscript paper inside.

Chen Ming read it from the beginning to the end by the light of the street lamp. The letter didn't say anything too profound. It was all about how to behave after being sent to the company, preparations for being an officer, competition for places, etc. confess.

Jiang Peng, a platoon leader of a recruit platoon, does not have a deep friendship with him, and it is very rare to be able to consider this level for him.

Especially after the content of the letter, the Jiang platoon asked him to think about it seriously. The general meaning is that the idea of ​​being an officer is very good, but not only officers have a way out in the army.

In Jiang Pai's words, that is life is often harvested and lost. To believe in fate and regard everything as the best arrangement, it might not be a good choice.

He also mentioned in the letter that being an officer is very tiring, and a soldier can be transferred to become a non-commissioned officer when he reaches the end of his life, but it is very difficult to become an officer.

Non-commissioned officers are very free and can choose to retire on their own. Even if an officer cannot be promoted, it does not mean that he can leave if he wants to.

Of course, these words are put at the end, more like a relief than an advice, because the front of the letter has already listed in detail what to do and how to fight for him after he gets off the company.

Even though he knew all this, he was still very moved after seeing it.

After Zhao Lifei smoked his cigarette, he took the letter and read it again. After a long silence, he smiled and said, "This educated person likes to do things like this."

"However, what Jiang platoon said is also true. Several non-commissioned officers in our artillery brigade met the conditions for promotion, but in the end they gave up."

"As for why, since you are still young, I won't tell you. You will understand gradually."

"Jiang Pai also has good intentions. Don't think too much. Just do it when you have a goal in mind. Don't be afraid of wolves in the front and tigers in the back. That will only accomplish nothing, you know?"

"Well, I understand the monitor." Chen Ming nodded firmly.

How could he not be clear about Zhao Lifei's concerns? It was nothing more than weighing the pros and cons. He felt that if he was promoted to an officer, he would only be mixed up at the battalion level in the end, and there would be little room for advancement.

In the end, I wanted to go home but couldn't go back. I had to wait for the number of years, and I was still not free.

But Chen Ming is not afraid of these problems.

Now that you have identified something, try to do it well, as a system owner.

This is the most basic self-confidence.
