I asked you to repeat your senior year of high school, but did you miss out on joining the military

Chapter 581 Return to Jinling, an untimely transfer order
Just a blink of an eye.

The time came to late May of 2019.

The Hongdu Battle Class is finally about to graduate. In the past two days, the 41 students who stayed in the academy have not been too busy every day, although there is the third item mentioned in the initial entrance assessment.

It is required to be written as a final thesis.

But in this combat squad, the outside is loose but the inside is tight, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.

Who would be so stubborn as to leave it to the end?

Therefore, all students had submitted their applications half a year ago, and the remaining two days were simply for enjoying their last time on campus.

Because after leaving here and returning to the unit, the pressure of endless work and racking one's brains to perform well in order to get promoted will inevitably weigh on everyone.

But no matter how leisurely you are, there always comes a time to leave.

In the dormitory on the sixth floor.

Chen Jun was packing his luggage quickly. While he was busy, there was an obvious smile on his face, but he also seemed extremely anxious.

He is different from other students. They are in a hurry to return to their unit, but Chen Jun still doesn't know where his unit is.

The 179th Brigade cannot go back because they have not received either a transfer order or an appointment letter. The only thing they can do is to go back and be guests.

But there is no position for him.

Not to mention the Training Department, his name has been registered in the Training Confidential Department, serving as a chief who specializes in serving people.

Minister Li Dongge also called in advance to say that his file was not in the training department and was just a figurehead. He could go anywhere after graduation and wait for arrangements from above.

What Chen Jun is worried about now is not where he is going, but that Li Haiyao is about to give birth in the next few days and is currently waiting for delivery at the Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital, No. 300 Yangcheng Road, Jinling.

He had to go over and take a look.

After all, it’s the first time in my life that I become a father, how can I not be excited?

"Old Chen, are you done packing?"

While he was busy, Sun Zonghang from the dormitory next door appeared at the door with a backpack and a suitcase.

"Wait, it's almost there."

Chen Jun looked up and responded, then carefully stuffed the children's toys he had bought and some local specialties of Hongdu into his backpack.

Looking at a grown man holding a small rattle in his hand, Sun Zonghang smiled and shook his head: "I can't call you Chen kid anymore, you're going to be a father too."

"By the way, your transfer order hasn't come down yet?"

"Most of us have returned to our old units, and some have been transferred directly to other units. Why haven't we heard from you yet?"

"I don't know." A hint of doubt flashed across Chen Jun's eyes. In fact, he was also wondering, the efficiency of the army should not be so slow.

At least there should be an explanation for where you are going. You can't just keep holding a military rank and eating military rations without doing any work, right?

Chen Jun had no idea that at this moment, Kyoto was extremely bustling because of the news of his transfer that was leaked in advance.

A few gray-haired old men slammed the table and almost cursed.

Grassroots companies often fight over a good soldier, and this situation will only ferment more fiercely at the higher levels. After all, no matter how white their hair is, they are still the ones who dared to fight to the death for anyone who touched their soldiers at the grassroots level.

The army has this kind of ethos, which was passed down by those people.

"Don't think too much. Let's go. If you don't have a job, go visit your wife and kids first."

Sun Zonghang did not continue to mention Chen Jun returning to the unit or whether he could be promoted in the near future.

When they chatted privately in the past, they often lamented that Chen Jun was so young yet could stand on the same starting line as them.

But as graduation time approached, all the notifications arrived except Chen Jun. Then, these old guys who had been in the army for more than ten or twenty years sensed that something was wrong.

We tacitly agreed not to mention these things again.

When they had all packed up, they gathered downstairs in the dormitory building.

Principal Chen Baihua and Political Commissar Zhang Shaoyang were already standing in the open space nearby.

I rarely have the opportunity to see these two during the course, and now that they are leaving, I have to come and see them off no matter what.

"Comrades." Seeing that the students had almost gathered, Old Man Chen stood still, and Zhang Shaoyang walked to the front of the team with a smile on his face.

"I will not hold a farewell dinner for you. You are all veterans in the military. During this year, you have learned a lot or consolidated your foundation. Anyway, today you are all here to say goodbye."

"Tomorrow, you will continue to fight in your respective positions."

"Comrades, I wish you all a smooth and successful journey."

After Zhang Shaoyang finished speaking, he stood at attention and saluted.

The forty-one students lined up in unison raised their hands in return.

They are not the freshly graduated cucumbers, so there is no need for them to say things like the vast sea and the stars, fearlessness, next stop, see you in the military camp, etc.

If the road ahead is paved with thorns, just flatten them. If there are bumps ahead, just walk through them fearlessly.

Silence is the best farewell scene.

Zhang Shaoyang did not put down his hand in salute. He watched one student after another pick up their luggage and get on the bus provided by the college.

Watched everyone leave.

Only after the car disappeared from sight did Chen Baihua walk over and said calmly, "That's enough. Everyone has gone far away."

"Hey."

Zhang Shaoyang sighed, then put down his saluting hand and said in a low voice: "I don't know how the higher-ups will solve Chen Jun's matter this time."

"That's not something we can worry about." Chen Baihua shook his head and said, "I heard that the headquarters wants to transfer Chen to the Western Border Defense Regiment as the regiment commander, and I also heard that they want to transfer him to the Border Defense Brigade as the deputy brigade commander."

"Yesterday I heard that the Northern Theater Command was also going to receive the order. Who knows the specific details?"

"We are not in Kyoto, so we don't know what is going on this time."

Chen Baihua spoke with a sigh, as if he was listening to gossip, and revealed everything he knew.

No matter how dazzling Chen Jun is, he is just a young man.

Because even if there were disagreements on his transfer, when the news reached them, most of it would be hearsay, and it would be difficult to tell the truth from the false, and no official documents would appear.

Therefore, Chen Baihua only knew that there was no news from their college because the higher-ups did not plan to let Chen Jun continue to stay in the east and planned to arrange for him to hone his skills in the border defense force.

Old Man Chen actually supports this decision from the bottom of his heart.

There’s nothing we can do. Who can blame Chen Jun for having such a weak foundation in the army?

There is no need to talk about his contributions and achievements in military reform, because he also received corresponding promotions and rewards.

There is nothing wrong with special treatment in special times.

But a student soldier has never been to the grassroots level since graduation, and he is only a deputy battalion commander when he arrives at the unit. This is a shortcoming that can never be overcome. No one is talking about it now because the time has not come yet.

When he is about to take that crucial step, these shortcomings will become his biggest flaws in competing with others. The higher he climbs, the more things he needs to consider comprehensively.

Now that the military reform is over, what Chen Jun needs is not to continue to be dazzling, nor to attract attention by sudden progress.

Instead, he needs to accumulate experience and use his qualifications and experience to fill in the gaps of never having worked at the grassroots level.

Only in this way can his future path be smoother. Otherwise, he will be promoted once at most and then lose the opportunity.

People who are created by the times will inevitably be abandoned by the times. This is an example proven by countless people since ancient times.

Only those who can endure the hardships can usher in the fragrance, and this principle also applies to their class. To put it bluntly, as long as he is not promoted to colonel, then based on Chen Jun’s past achievements, the higher-ups will always owe him.

Once you get promoted, everything will be clear at the end of the era.

It sounds cruel, but it is the truth. Some rules at the grassroots level can be broken, but after a certain level, some rules cannot be broken.

We can't let Chen Jun go back to being a trainee platoon leader, right? Going down to the border defense and settling down is his best destination at the moment.

Even Old Man Chen could figure it out, so Zhang Shaoyang also understood it. He sighed and said nothing more.

The two men stared at the direction the vehicle was going, and after a while, they shook their heads and left.

. . . . . . . . .

At this time, Chen Jun had no time to consider the issue of his unit's transfer.

The bus he took was to Changbei International Airport and his flight ticket had already been booked.

Directly to Jinling Lukou Airport.

Hongdu and Jinling are not far apart, and a direct flight can get there in one or two hours.

After parting with other students at the airport, Chen Jun boarded the plane without stopping. After arriving in Jinling, he took a taxi and went straight to the Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital.

Before coming back.

Chen Jun often talked to his parents and chatted with Li Haiyao. Knowing that the due date was getting closer, he had been in the hospital for the past week waiting to give birth.

Even her cousin Li Haixin, who works at the Jinling Research Institute, came over to help look after the child.

Li Haixin is the daughter of Li Haiyao's uncle. She got married early and has two daughters and a son.

Chen Jun had always heard Li Haiyao mention this cousin before, but had never met her in person.

When he arrived at the hospital gate, Chen Jun looked at the bustling crowd inside and couldn't help but click his tongue, secretly sighing that there were so many people in this damn hospital.

He took out his cell phone from his pocket, took a photo of the door, and sent it to Li Haiyao, first conveying the message that he had arrived, and then called his father to ask which room he was in.

As a result, when Chen Baishui received a call and learned that his son had returned, he did not tell him the room number, but was told that someone would come to pick him up later.

Since there were too many people here, Chen Jun didn't run around, but waited obediently at the gate.

Unexpectedly, he waited for more than ten minutes, but did not see his father Chen Baishui or his mother Li Xiufen coming. Instead, his sister Chen Yingying ran out excitedly in a white short-sleeved shirt and jeans.

"elder brother!!"

Before the person arrived, the clear sound had already reached the front.

When Chen Jun saw Chen Yingying, he frowned and asked in a reproachful tone: "Yingying, why are you here?"

"The college entrance examination is in half a month. Why are you running around instead of studying hard at school?"

"Brother, I haven't seen you for a year, and you're so mean to me when we first meet?" Chen Yingying pouted, then smiled and said, "I didn't run away on my own."

"My dad picked me up and asked me to look after my nephew. Besides, today is Sunday, so I can still make it back to school in the afternoon."

Chen Yingying mumbled a lot of things, and when Chen Jun heard them, he simply simplified them to the three words "little nephew".

The expression of blame just now suddenly turned into shock, or surprise: "Are you saying that Yaoyao gave birth?"

"Goose!"

Chen Yingying tilted her head back: "My water broke late last night, and the baby was born this morning. I wanted to call you, but my parents wouldn't let me. After my sister-in-law came out of the delivery room, I couldn't get through to you."

“That was on the plane, and the signal was not turned on.”

Chen Jun laughed and pushed Chen Yingying to lead the way. The little girl curled her lips and muttered reluctantly: "You are all like this. My parents ignore me when they see their nephew. Brother, you too."

"What are you thinking?"

Chen Jun raised his hand and tapped Chen Yingying on the head: "Let's go quickly. I brought you a gift. Do well in the college entrance examination. If you can really be admitted to the National University of Defense Technology, I will buy you whatever you want."

"Really?"

The little girl is easy to coax. When she heard that there were gifts and she could buy more later, she happily led the way.

Chen Jun followed closely behind.

Although their family is not wealthy and Chen Jun's personal position in the army is not high, Li Haiyao is at least the youngest granddaughter of the third generation of the Li family.

Now in the hospital, some elders will greet and take care of Chen Jun to some extent when they know that Chen Jun can no longer be with them.

The delivery room where Li Haiyao lived was a single room, and the environment there was better than Chen Jun’s previous office.

When Chen Yingying brought him over, his father Chen Baishui was not there. His mother Li Xiufen and mother-in-law Qin Meilan were both surrounding a small stroller and watching with smiles.

Li Haiyao was lying on the inner bed with her eyes closed, as if she was sleeping.

Chen Jun hurriedly put his backpack and suitcase at the door. When passing by his mother and mother-in-law, he gently called "Mom", and then walked to the bed without stopping.

Squatting down and looking at his wife lying on the hospital bed, Chen Jun's excitement about having a child just now completely calmed down.

As a husband, Chen Jun felt very guilty for not being able to be by her side when she gave birth.

No wonder Li Haiyao, who usually replied almost immediately, didn't respond when he sent a message today. He thought she was not feeling well and wanted to sleep in.

"It's okay, Xiaojun. Yaoyao is just weak."

When Qin Meilan saw her son-in-law squatting on the ground, a smile appeared on her face. As a parent, all she wanted was to see her children live a happy life.

"Let Yaoyao rest. Come, take a look at the baby. He was born weighing 6.6 jin, which is an auspicious number."

"He's still a kid."

Qin Meilan greeted Chen Jun with a smile, and then lifted a corner of the quilt to reveal the sleeping child. Chen Jun looked down, and it was the first time he knew that a newborn baby could be so small, only about the size of his palm.

As Chen Jun watched, he couldn't help but smile. He looked at Li Haiyao, who had her eyes closed, and then at the child who was sleeping soundly.

At this moment, he felt that all the hard work was worth it. This may be a common problem among men.

Just when Chen Jun wanted to ask where his father, father-in-law, and the cousin Li Haiyao mentioned during the conversation had gone.

I didn't even have time to ask.

The cell phone in his pocket made a shrill "ding-ling-ling" sound.

"Mom, I'm going out to answer a phone call."

Chen Jun quickly covered his phone, turned the volume down to the lowest level, and quickly walked out of the ward.

Looking at the unfamiliar landline number on the screen, Chen Jun's heart suddenly stagnated.

As a soldier, his intuition told him that this call might not be that simple, but as a soldier, he didn't want to ruin the warmth at this moment, but he had to answer it.

Standing in the corridor, Chen Jun took a deep breath and swiped the screen: "Hello, I'm Chen Jun."

"Ho!"

"You kid, you don't even know how to say hello when you come back?"

The voice of Wang Zhongyi, the commander-in-chief of the 71st Army, came from the microphone. He did not ask where Chen Jun was, but directly said: "Well, there is an order from the headquarters, come back."

"Your transfer order has arrived."

"Pack your luggage and report here as soon as possible."
