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

Chapter 98: The queue is full, and the County Armed Forces Department personally picks them up!
On the avenue at the entrance to the new training base, there is a row of dark red buses parked neatly, similar to the scene when they first arrived.

District captain Li Zhao stood in the distance and stared at the team. The captains of each team were busy verifying the number of people in each class.

Experienced new training.

The management of each unit is not as strict as it was when we first entered the hospital.

There is no need for the squad leader to follow the team all the time, for fear of being confused and unfamiliar with the environment.

Suddenly ran to the wrong place.

Now there is no need. The queues are more orderly than the last. All the students, carrying large and small bags, consciously boarded the train.

Chen Jun led the team to the front of the bus, and Chu Hongfei ran over from the back of the team.

"Class 1, are everyone ready?"

"Already." Chen Jun glanced at the queue and responded loudly.

"Okay, the fourth bus, lead the team up."

"Attention, each class should not run around when they return to the academy. They should go back to their original dormitories and the acting class leader will do a good job of supervision."

"Before and after the opening ceremony, the college will reassign you to the brigade and assign squads. In addition to cultural classes every day, the brigade will arrange your daily training according to the curriculum."

"So, all personnel should not wander around until they are assigned to a group."

Chu Hongfei spared no effort and reminded him over and over again.

Chen Jun stood at the door of the bus, watching his roommates get on the bus one by one.

He just entered the carriage.

It's time to leave the new training base. Two days ago, the squad leader gave the new students their mobile phones to keep for themselves.

As for other collected personal belongings, they can only be released after returning to the college.

Sitting on the bus with the mobile phone his third uncle bought for him in his hand, Chen Jun felt uneasy.

Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of school.

The college should have contacted the family by this time.

Chen Junren was sitting by the window, but his thoughts had already drifted out of the car window.

He stared at the endless mountain scenery at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain in the distance, and his hands clenched and unclenched involuntarily.

He has been in the army for two generations. No matter how difficult it is for many things to control his thoughts, he can think of his parents, who will attend his opening ceremony tomorrow.

Thinking of his father Chen Baishui's joy when he heard the news, his mother Li Xiufen's proud expression of her son, and her sister jumping and clapping her little hands, feeling happy for her brother.

Chen Jun still couldn't control his emotions. A man should strengthen himself. Defending his family and country is of course unambiguous. Enlisting in the army is even more natural.

But who can resist the smile on a parent’s face when his son achieves something?

At least, Chen Jun couldn't.

He has been practicing ceremonial steps these past few days. He has too many things to share with his family, but he is afraid that calling too often will cause his family to worry.

In the past, the competition was about to take place and time was tight. Every Sunday, I only had fifteen minutes to send my cell phone, and I would hang up the phone after saying hello to my family in a hurry.

This happened suddenly every day, and his parents might have suspected something had happened to him.

Therefore, when Chen Jun contacted his family in the past few days, he only briefly mentioned that the college would arrange for someone to pick them up today.

Didn't mention much, anyway, we will meet tomorrow.

Chen Jun took a deep breath and stared at the scenery outside the window, silently recalling the training essentials of the honor guard.

Back to the college today, other students can be free.

I'm afraid he won't be able to sit still. The opening ceremony will be held at the college's track and field, and he has been practicing for so long.

I always have to go to the scene to rehearse several times with Lao Zhou and others from the student union’s national flag class.

This is related to Lu Yuan's face tomorrow, so he can't be negligent.

Just when Chen Jun was taking the bus back to the college.

Wang Zhanting, deputy dean of the undergraduate college of Xijing Army Frontier College, once again contacted the local armed forces department in Rongan.

The county where Chen Jun's hometown is located is called Rong'an.

This is a central area at the junction of three provinces, and it is also a commodity distribution center. There are agricultural and sideline products kumquats, Shatian pomeloes, and some scenic spots.

With a permanent population of more than 200,000, it is considered a small county.

May 9, morning.

Rong'an is located in a mid-subtropical monsoon climate. Even though the National Day is approaching, the feeling of heat still does not give in at all.

Pu Guotao, the political commissar of the County Armed Forces Department, was sitting in his office, blowing on the air conditioner and holding the meeting documents in his hands, studying this year's recruitment work.

Because just the day before yesterday, September 9, the recruitment work meeting was held, and the relevant national defense departments issued the recruitment requirements for this year.

要在11月1日，开始全面征兵，12月10日开始起运新兵，12月31日前全部运送完毕。

Pu Guotao had some difficulties. In fact, it was easy to recruit local soldiers in Guangxi Province. This was related to the people's thinking.

For example, if a child of a family is relatively sturdy, he or she will think of sending him to the army for two years and then just tidying up.

If a child is too weak, he or she will consider sending him to the army, where he can train for two years. Those with poor grades will be sent to the army to gain experience.

Anyway, no matter how you say this, it can be implemented in the army for training.

Being highly motivated is certainly a good thing.

But the Armed Forces Ministry can't do nothing, just wait until the day comes, go for a few walks in the countryside, and lobby and mobilize like last year, right?
We must think of a better way, respond to the call from above, and do a good job in promoting this year's military recruitment.

Pu Guotao held the document in his right hand and meditated, and held the ceramic tea cup in his left hand. He stood up and walked around, thinking about the follow-up work arrangements.

As the political commissar of the Ministry of Armed Forces, this is his job. In the past, every time there was a meeting in the army to issue instructions, he would make a brief summary.

Now naturally is no exception.

He stood by the window sill, his body leaning against the office chair. The sunlight coming through the window shone on his military uniform with two stripes and three stars as a colonel.

Jingle Bell! !

A crisp ringtone interrupted Pu Guotao's thoughts. He calmed down and looked at the red landline on his desk.

He hurriedly put down the documents and ceramic cup in his hands, strode over, picked up the phone, and put it to his ear.

"Hello, Rong'an Armed Forces, I am Pu Guotao."

"Hello, political commissar Pu, I am Wang Zhanting from Xijing Army Border Defense Academy."

Xijing Army Frontier College? ! !

When Pu Guotao heard the name of the college, he clasped his palms tightly on the table, wondering why he had forgotten this.

As early as a week ago, the college had a phone call with them and finalized some matters.

But because of the conscription meeting the day before yesterday, I have been so busy and confused these two days that I almost forgot about important events.

"Hello, Vice President Wang, are you inviting the little gay's parents to attend the opening ceremony?"

"Yes, regarding the matter of inviting Comrade Chen Jun's parents from Xiaozhou Village, Rong'an County, to come to Xijing to attend the opening ceremony of the Lu Academy, I have sent the relevant documents to the city's Armed Forces Department."

"I have also sent documents to the city's Military Affairs Department. In view of Comrade Chen Jun's outstanding performance in the new training period of our college, he also won the first place in the competition between the two colleges and won the third-class merit."

"I specially invite comrades from the Ministry of Armed Forces. Please accompany me on the trip. We will contact you for all related expenses incurred in the future."

"Political Commissar, please make arrangements over there to accompany Comrade Chen Jun's family today."

"Hey, okay, no trouble, that's all."

Pu Guotao laughed and hung up the phone, raised his hand and patted his forehead, secretly blaming himself for almost missing something important.

Of course he knew that someone in the county was admitted to the Xijing Military Academy, but he didn't expect that the boy from Xiaozhou Village was so ambitious.

Not only did he receive third-class merit, but his parents were also invited by Lu Yuan.

This honor is not easy to obtain. Despite the high enthusiasm for joining the army in Guangxi Province, Rongan is a small county after all.

There are more than two million soldiers in the army. Even if they are evenly distributed among more than a thousand counties across the country, there will only be more than a thousand soldiers in each county.

This is only the proportion of joining the army and attending military academies, so forget about it.

If they have a military academy student here who has received military honors, then the Ministry of Armed Forces must show something.

Pu Guotao strode to the office door, opened the door, turned around and shouted: "Xiao Zhao?"

"To!"

Next door to his office, a young man in military uniform ran out in a hurry.

It was assistant Xiao Zhao.

"Go quickly, notify the logistics to prepare the vehicles, and the publicity officer will also bring a few for me."

"Political commissar, are you going to Xiaozhou Village?" Assistant Xiao Zhao asked with a smile on his face.

"How do you know?" Pu Guotao was slightly startled. He had just received a call from the college. The other party said that the documents were sent to the city. They should not have arrived in the county so soon, right?

"Report to the political commissar, I...I am from Xiaozhou Village." Xiao Zhao said with excitement on his face.

"Didn't we receive a call from Xijing a week ago? You have been busy with the recruitment meeting in the past two days, but our Armed Forces Ministry has spread the word privately."

"We say that there is an amazing student from our Xiaozhou Village. He defeated the top students from the Armed Police Engineering University in the new training stage and won third-class merit. His parents were specially invited by the college."

"I'm going to attend the opening ceremony."

"I also know Chen Jun. He is very famous in our village. He has liked to play basketball with his father since he was a child. In terms of seniority, I still call him uncle."

"You kid." Pu Guotao smiled.

"Go ahead and inform them immediately. We will take photos of the trip to Xiaozhou Village later for subsequent recruitment publicity. We can also go to the high school to do mobilization work next year."

"Don't waste time, we have to rush to the airport as soon as possible today."

"Yes, political commissar." Xiao Zhao agreed, turned around and ran away.

There is a promising man in his village, and he feels proud even in the armed forces.

Pu Guotao watched the people run away, and he also rubbed his hands, thinking about how to make this incident a model for the county and publicize it.

There are people in this county who can get such honors, and their parents are specially invited to the military academy ceremony. That is their ability. After all, the opening ceremony of the academy is not a small occasion.

Chen Jun can get good grades because of his ability, but if he gets good grades, he, the political commissar of the local armed forces department, cannot make any move.

That means he is no longer capable.

Xijing Army Border Defense University has just started its first year of reform and enrollment expansion, and the opening ceremony has caused quite a stir.

The Ministry of Armed Forces must provide adequate support for the children in its own county.

Of course, they also took advantage of the situation to promote their county outside.

Pu Guotao planned in his mind that he would also invite more comrades to form a condolence group and go to the students' homes together to express condolences.

As a political commissar, he is very familiar with these processes.

We must show cordial care to the families of military personnel. After all, they have also cultivated such good seeds for the army and the country.

You have to set an example.

Assistant Xiao Zhao went to call a taxi. Pu Guotao thought about it briefly and temporarily put aside the matter of conscription.

Picked up the landline and dialed.

"Hello, I'm Pu Guotao from the Ministry of Armed Forces. I'm looking for the director of your TV station."

"Well, yes, I am Pu Guotao. Lao Zhang, I have arranged for your people to go to Xijing with me today. Yes, there is a child in our county who is studying at the military academy and is promising. His parents were invited to attend the opening ceremony of the Xijing Military Academy. "

"Yes, the invitees still have the final stage to go on stage. That is a conference where all the major media in Xijing will go. You can arrange some smart ones for me."

"."

After making several calls in succession, the candidate for this trip to Xijing was initially determined.

I went to accompany him to the ceremony. They represented Rong'an and were the children's backing in the academy. They couldn't be too shabby.

More than a thousand kilometers away.

When they went there, it was considered as a way to cheer for people from their hometown, so they had to cheer up.

Even with regard to the number of round-trip air tickets, the city's Military Affairs Department began to contact the aviation department.

Wait until everything is ready.

Pu Guotao came out of the office and wanted to take people to Xiaozhou Village.

This matter cannot be delayed any longer.

Xiaozhou Village.

Chen Jun's father, Chen Baishui, did not go to work at the sports school.

Not only because of Sunday, but also because my son called and said that someone would take them to Xijing today to attend the opening ceremony of his son's military academy.

At this time, he was sitting at the gate, waving a cattail leaf fan in his hand, looking at the village entrance with longing eyes.

Their home was not far from the entrance of the village. Sitting there, they could just see the main road leading to the village.

Mother Li Xiufen squatted in the yard, washing large round watermelons in a basin.

My younger sister, Chen Yingying, looked eagerly at the watermelon in the basin. The watermelon had been frozen in the well water for most of the day, and the cold water was changed again and again.

But she couldn't eat.

Because she knew that her brother called yesterday and said that someone would come to pick up her parents and herself today to attend the ceremony at her brother's academy in Xijing.

Someone will pick them up today.

Watermelons are served to entertain guests, and the guests must eat them first.

If not, who would normally wash the outer skin of watermelon so cleanly?

Li Xiufen squatted on the ground and washed for a long time. She found that the water temperature had been warmed by the sun, so she quickly lifted up the basin and dumped it, and used the water pump to draw a basin of cold water again.

Continue to chill the watermelon.

Then she stood up, wiped her hands with a towel, and then said.

"Baishui, Xiaojun said yesterday that someone would pick us up to go to Xijing, but he didn't say who would pick us up. You can call us and ask."

"Also, ask him if his third uncle is back and where he is."

"It's almost nine o'clock now. Should I go to the market to buy some food for lunch? When the guests come, we can't just eat melon. There will be nothing to eat."

"Oh, don't be anxious. The child is not planning to practice the ceremonial steps these days. He is very busy. Why don't you hurry? Wait a moment."

Chen Baishui said he was not in a hurry, but he stood up from the door and looked at the road in the distance.

He was about to walk out of the door, then turned around and came back to unpack the soft bag of flowers he had bought in advance on the table and put it into his shirt pocket.

I touched the lighter again to make sure it was with it and could still light a fire, then I walked out of the door with my legs up.

"Virtue." Li Xiufen saw her husband's actions, laughed and cursed, then put her hand into the basin to test the water temperature.

Just then.

One kilometer away from the village entrance, a row of army-green military jeeps was slowly driving towards this side.

The end of September is not yet the peak time for farming, and around nine o'clock in the morning, many people in the village are gathering to chat.

Seeing such a long motorcade coming from a distance, they all stood up and looked around.

Chen Baishui, with his hands behind his back, had just walked a few dozen meters away when he saw a vehicle in the distance, and his face immediately lit up with joy.

He turned around and ran towards home.
