Chapter 35: Retirement
It is actually a bit inaccurate to say that the news is not at all in advance, so it can be said that it is a special event.
That day, all the recruits were gathered in the playground for a new round of political study, and suddenly a canvas cart came. Immediately afterwards, behind the canvas truck, there was a big liberation.
In the first car, only a few chief-level figures came down, but in the next car, several men and women in white clothes came down, and it can be seen that those soldiers in white clothes are either nurses in the hospital or military doctors.
The senior instructor, who was preparing for the class, hurriedly ran up to the chief who got out of the car, took an upright posture, and said, "Report to the chief! I have made all the preparations, please give the chief advice!"
The fat chief returned the salute and then commanded loudly, "According to the established arrangement, start working now!"
All recruits have a hunch, just to say whether this hunch is good or bad.
Company Commander Dai returned to the queue and instructed all the recruits: "According to the arrangement of the superior leader, all the recruits today will undergo a new physical examination! After the team is disbanded, all squads will line up for inspection according to the schedule!"
When all the recruits heard the news, it was like a thunderclap in the sky.
The troops had to undergo a new medical examination, which quickly made all the recruits nervous. Of course, what everyone is afraid of is not this re-examination, but the fear of re-examination, which may cause accidents in their lives. Even recruits who think they are okay with their health can still feel uneasy.
The head of the company seemed to have discovered this, and Instructor Dai hurriedly did work to everyone, "Don't panic, as long as there is no physical problem, as long as the local inspection meets the requirements, there will generally be no change in this review!"
Despite the chief's reassurance, everyone's tension continued unabated.
The review began urgently, and all recruits were re-examined by the army doctor in order.
Like others, Chen Hansheng stood in a queue waiting to be examined.
Chen Hansheng knew that he would not have any major problems, he was just worried about whether there would be any problems with his trachoma.
When Chen Hansheng arrived, a female doctor who spoke Mandarin chatted with him while checking on him, asking him where he was from, who were in his family, and even asked him why he wanted to join the army, and whether he was afraid of being a soldier and enduring hardships. Chen Hansheng didn't think much about it, and answered truthfully with his feelings.
When checking his eyes and ears, Chen Hansheng's heart suddenly beat faster, and in the process of crossing quickly, he even made a very bad plan. If he can't pass the level, he can only go back to the place and find his life again. But there was one thing that he was steadfast about, and that was that he wanted to learn to play the violin.
The female doctor examined very seriously, she not only wore a hood with a lamp, carefully examined Chen Hansheng's ears, but also checked Chen Hansheng's eyes very carefully, and asked Chen Hansheng during the examination, "Do your eyes cry when you see the wind?"
"It's not usually like this!" Chen Hansheng said truthfully, "only when there is a strong wind, I occasionally cry." ”
The female doctor took off the hood with the lamp and said to Chen Hansheng, "You can go." ”
Chen Hansheng seemed to be reborn once, and he excitedly left the female military doctor and returned to the class.
After the person who checked the body left, the whole company finally let out a sigh.
The troops then proceeded with the original arrangement, spending most of their time on political study and military training for the small troops.
This day was not a day of political study, but a day of military training, and the recruits were just about to assemble, and a canvas cart came, and then two officers got out of the car, one fat and one thin.
After a while, two recruits were called to the company headquarters to talk.
The two recruits, one from Henan, the other from Hubei, and the one from Hubei is still a fellow countryman of Chen Hansheng.
After the two recruits came out of the company headquarters, they did not return to the squad, but sat directly into the car.
Someone saw that the eyes of the two recruits were swollen with tears.
The car took the two recruits and left directly.
Others thought that these two recruits had good luck, and they must have been transferred to a recruit company with a better class.
But soon the speculation of the good news turned into the spread of bad news.
Two recruits have been returned to the place!
I haven't heard of any problems with them when they inspect them, how can they be returned?
This news quickly made the entire recruit company uneasy again. finally passed all kinds of checks and came to the army, but was withdrawn again, the person concerned will definitely not think about it, and there may even be an accident.
The head of the unit quickly explained that they were not in good health and had been returned to the locality.
But what exactly the reason for the return is no one can say.
Although this statement quickly calmed the minds of the recruits, everyone's worries about the two recruits continued unabated. Until almost ten days and a half months have passed, everyone is still thinking about it.
Finally, there was gossip that the two recruits were not entirely physically motivated, and that they had been returned by the army for something else. As for any other reason, no one can give an accurate explanation.
The occurrence of this incident made the entire recruit invisibly fall into a sense of crisis. Although they know that such a thing will not happen again, many people are still worried that such a thing will happen.
This particular incident made some recruits more conservative and didn't even want to reveal their true thoughts. In the entire recruit company, everyone's performance was very good. The tone of the speeches at the meeting is the same.
Although Chen Hansheng sympathized with the two returned recruits in his heart, and didn't even dare to imagine whether they would think about it, Chen Hansheng could only believe in the organization and couldn't help it. He didn't want to think too much about it.
As soon as he had time, Chen Hansheng went to watch the Wuhan recruit play the violin.
The beautiful violin sound not only gave Chen Hansheng a kind of comfort, but also gave Chen Hansheng a stronger idea of learning to play.
On Sunday, a message came from the company that there was a car to Xinyang City, and which soldiers wanted to buy things and could go with the car.
When I heard that there was a car going to Xinyang, many recruits jumped into the car. Most of them don't really want to buy anything, or even buy something just an excuse, they just want to go to Xinyang to see, have a play, and relax.
Chen Hansheng was not the kind of person who liked to join in the fun, but when he heard that there was a car to Xinyang, an idea immediately popped up in his mind. These days, he's always wanted to buy a book that recognizes staves, but he hasn't had the opportunity.
At a bookstore in Xinyang, Chen Hansheng got his wish and bought a booklet entitled "How to Identify a Staff". This booklet is a treasure for Chen Hansheng, who wants to learn to play the violin.
Chen Hansheng knew very well in his heart that in the recruit company, it was impossible for him to have time to learn to play the violin, and he did not have a violin, so he planned to learn to read the stave first, and then start learning to play the violin at the right time.
Not long after, a small news spread in the company, the two recruits, one of them got married quickly after going back, Chen Hansheng's fellow countryman, after going back, got a disease, didn't say a word all day, the family lost their temper when they asked, and even red eyes wanted to beat people, as if they were going to go insane.
Chen Hansheng compared his heart to his heart, and he was very sad.
