The strongest rocket soldier

Chapter 46 Ordinary is the most real

After everyone finished, it was already very late, Ding Xiaojun arranged for all the children to rest in the wooden shed, and began to wash the tableware by himself.After tidying up, he also walked into the corner of the wooden shed, sat in the corner, huddled up, closed his eyes and began to rest.

"Ding Xiaojun, do you want to go inside a little bit? You can't even stretch your legs." In the darkness, Wang Yan didn't have a trace of fear, but she still felt safe.

"No, I'll do it like this." Ding Xiaojun didn't even bother to move his eyes away.

Wang Yan: "Don't you feel uncomfortable when you are like this?"

Ding Xiaojun: "I'm used to it."

The conversation between the two fell silent again. After a long while, Wang Yan suddenly asked: "Ding Xiaojun, are you asleep?"

"Asleep." Ding Xiaojun said lazily.

"Why are you like this? You can still answer when you're asleep." Wang Yan's tone had a hint of anger.

"Talk in your sleep, I'm talking in your sleep."

"I know you're not asleep, so chat with me for a while."

"Okay, you say, I'll listen." Ding Xiaojun's words were still lazy.

"Then let me tell you about myself." Wang Yan's voice also became flat.

"I was born in a small village near here, and I was brought up by my grandma. Since I was a child, I liked to study, but my family was poor, and I almost gave up many times. My teacher, who has been encouraging me to go to school, also used my own salary to study. Help me pay my tuition."

"Once, my teacher asked me what my dream was, and I told the teacher that I would like to be a teacher, so that more out-of-school children in mountain villages could re-enter the classroom. After graduating from university, I gave up the favorable conditions in the big cities and asked to return to my hometown to support education."

"When I returned to my hometown, I realized that the distance between reality and dreams is so far away. Many children who have dropped out of school may not be able to persuade their families if they have tried their best to persuade them. The reason for all this is only because of the mountainous area Really poor."

"If you want more school-age children to go to school, what you need to change is not the parents, but the status quo of poverty. However, as a teacher, I cannot change these social realities."

Ding Xiaojun turned over: "Yes, poverty has defeated many realities. Only by making everyone rich can all children not drop out of school. Although most mountainous areas in our motherland are poor now, I believe that in the future , everything will be fine, and it will get better."

"Well, I also think it will get better and better. By the way, Ding Xiaojun, tell me about yourself." Wang Yan is actually very curious about Ding Xiaojun.

"I have nothing to say." Ding Xiaojun was a little reluctant to talk about himself.

"How could there be nothing to say, such as your age and why you joined the army. You can enter all of these."

"Okay, let me tell you. As for why I joined the army this year, it is of course to respond to the call of the country, to serve the country and take root in border defense." Ding Xiaojun said casually.

"Don't you think you can accept what you said? Now we are just chatting with each other, can we tell the truth." Wang Yan clearly heard that Ding Xiaojun was talking nonsense.

"Well, to tell you the truth, it was my father who asked me to be a soldier. At first I was against it. Later, I went to the army and experienced a lot. So later, I swore to be a good soldier. The rest is I have worked hard to advance on the road of being a good soldier."

"I listened to you speaking calmly and steadily. I didn't feel at all that you were just there. You were much calmer than your actual age." Wang Yan said softly.

"Calm, maybe, those who enter the army should all become mature."

"I'm 23 this year. I'm five years older than you. I don't have your stability. It seems that the army is really a magical place. By the way, Ding Xiaojun, how many years have you been in the army?" do not understand.

"Half a year, more than five months to be precise, three months in the recruit company, and more than two months in the company. I am still a 'new recruit' as the veterans always say."

"You have only joined the army for half a year, and you have already participated in the dangerous work of disaster relief. Can your leaders trust you?" Wang Yan was a little surprised. In her own opinion, Ding Xiaojun should be a full-fledged veteran no matter what. , Building a shed, cooking, everything is so proficient, even speaking calmly, it never occurred to him that Ding Xiaojun is just a recruit who has only been in the army for less than half a year.

"Ding Xiaojun, what is your dream? For example, to become a special soldier, to become an officer, and to become a general step by step. Isn't there a saying that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier?" Wang said. Yan started a new topic again.

Ding Xiaojun suddenly opened his eyes, those eyes looked tired in the night, but still clear: "Dream, I used to dream of being an inventor and scientist when I grow up, but it's ridiculous. When I enter the army, I will I just want to be the best and become the strongest soldier. Since I arrived in the disaster area, I feel that everything is wrong. Scientists, special forces, and generals are all too far away from me and too unrealistic. I just want to be a qualified soldier. Soldiers, do your job well, just like now, I just want to save one more disaster-stricken people, and every time I rescue a disaster victim, my heart will feel more at ease."

"Maybe in your opinion, this is ridiculous, or very ordinary, but in my eyes, dreams are just dreams and dreams, not practical, but reality is to do what you can do at the moment, ordinary or not , Ordinary, as long as you are worthy of your own heart is enough."

Wang Yan listened to Ding Xiaojun's words and fell silent. Yes, most people in the world are ordinary and ordinary, but people who can recognize their own reality and don't think or do unrealistic things can make everything the most ordinary. There are too few people who are serious about the little things that are worthwhile. Maybe this kind of ordinary and ordinary is the real extraordinary.

Ding Xiaojun went on to say: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. I don't think there is anything wrong with that, but a soldier who only wants to be a general may not be a good soldier. The temptation in this society is great. Generals, wanting to be generals, Maybe it's just the fame and fortune that some people yearn for, on the contrary, in my opinion, a good general is a general who can regard himself as a people's soldier."

"Ding Xiaojun, although your words are very straightforward, they are very meaningful. Now, I think you are very extraordinary, very extraordinary. You have your wisdom and a more careful understanding than others. Your path will definitely be better than others. Others go further."

In the dark, Ding Xiaojun showed a wry smile on his face, thinking that now, in other disaster areas, his comrades-in-arms, squad leader, company commander and even battalion commander are struggling to rescue the people in deep disaster one by one, and he, here, can still Resting and falling asleep, my heart suddenly became very lost.

"Okay, let's rest, don't think about any bullshit dreams, and quickly fall asleep." Ding Xiaojun said to Wang Yan's vague figure in the dark.

"Ordinary, maybe ordinary is the most real, do what you can." Ding Xiaojun closed his eyes again.
