On the second day of entering the recruit company, the atmosphere of the entire recruit company was very different from the previous day. If it is said that on the first day of recruitment, the soldiers have not yet been settled, and there are still some things to arrange and deal with, which seems a little loose, and on the second day, it is completely different from the first day. The tense atmosphere in the barracks, the strict discipline of the troops, and the obedience of the soldiers to orders were all fully demonstrated on the second day.

This special second day was not military training, but political study. All the recruits gathered on the large field of the farm, sat cross-legged, and listened to the speech of the head of the recruit company.

Instructor Gao, the head of the recruit company, is a very tall and fat-looking company-level leader, and he speaks with a lot of energy, but there is also a kind of gentleness of the chief and the kind of care for the soldiers. Although he is from Henan, he speaks Mandarin.

Instructor Gao bluntly put it this way: "The most important thing for new recruits to join the army is ideological education! Everyone comes to the army with different purposes and different ideological distractions, and most of them join the army with the idea of finding a way out, not with the conviction of defending their homes and the country. There are quite a few people who still hope to find a good job in the army, learn a trade, and go back to their places in the future so that they can get food to eat! Some people even openly say that they want to learn the trade of driving in the army and go back so that they can use this skill of driving and find a job as a driver! There are also some people who want to learn the trade of a cook in the army and become a cook in the future! Of course, there are still many soldiers who want to join the party and promote themselves in the army, but they do not expect that this is the need of revolutionary work, but for personal interests, and even for the sake of honoring their ancestors! Such unhealthy thinking and incorrect outlook on life will directly affect the combat effectiveness of the troops and the lofty image of the soldiers! If ideological rectification is not carried out, some soldiers will be negative in thinking, impure in motives, and uncorrect in their work style......

Next, the senior instructor conducted a full comparative analysis of the traditional thinking of serving as a soldier and the glorious revolutionary tradition since ancient times, and raised it to a new height to conduct an ideological education for the recruits.

All the soldiers who heard the speech were inspired by a spirit and realized the seriousness of their own ideological problems.

After Instructor Gao finished speaking, before the recruits were disbanded, Company Commander Dai announced in advance that the next class would be a class discussion.

During the short break, almost everyone was asked to go to the toilet, and before anyone even came out of the toilet, the whistle to assemble again sounded. Those recruits who were too late even ran to the pre-arranged house with their pants on.

The free discussion was not as serious as the lecture just now, and the soldier was even free to sit on his bed and have a discussion with full freedom to speak. At this seminar, some of the recruits reviewed their thoughts and motives for joining the army, but their tones were different, honest people were serious, smart people were perfunctory, and cunning people even simply concealed their true thoughts, fearing that speaking out would make others feel that their thinking was too backward.

When Chen Hansheng spoke, Chen Hansheng said without concealment, "My thoughts on being a soldier are very complicated, on the one hand, I also know that being a soldier is to fight a war and is the need to protect my family and defend the country, but I also have personal thoughts and goals, and I am like many people, I want to find a good job in the army, or enter the automobile company, and even have the idea of joining the party and promoting cadres, but what I want most now is to learn to play the violin in the army, but I don't know if the army allows it!"

Along the way, everyone was confiding their true thoughts, but they had never seen Chen Hansheng say that he wanted to learn to play the violin, and he never expected that this recruit would suddenly have such a strange idea.

"Yes!" The senior instructor who participated in the discussion said with a smile, "Learning to play the violin is not a bad thing! If you play well, you can even consider joining the army's propaganda team! It's just that if you are not assigned a unit suitable for this job, you can't affect your own work because of this! In your spare time, you can completely learn this thing!"

Chen Hansheng didn't expect his true thoughts, but he was fully affirmed by the chief, and he was a little overjoyed.

Instructor Gao then instructed everyone to educate: "There is nothing wrong with what you want to do, but if you only want to be diverted by your personal will and do not obey the organization's assignment, then you will not be able to! On the issue of future work distribution, you must be one red heart and two kinds of preparations! Moreover, you must also have the idea that you are a brick of the revolution and move wherever you need to!"

The guidance education of the senior instructors made everyone's thoughts suddenly clear.

At noon, the loudspeaker in the field sounded, and one recruit spoke after another, and suddenly sounded in the loudspeaker. Most of those speeches were similar in that they showed their positive thinking and made a profound understanding and criticism of those incorrect thinking about being a soldier.

Chen Hansheng actually has a deeply hidden thought, that is, his soldierhood also has the factor of his broken love, but Chen Hansheng doesn't want to say this idea, because he feels that there is no need for this, this idea is just a potential support for him, whether he will be the main purpose of being a soldier because of this, even he can't say it now. Chen Hansheng himself is also very clear that although he also wants to join the party in the army, that desire is not strong, and even feels that it is an unattainable thing, and what he is most interested in now is to learn to play the violin.

Several days of political study have dug out the real thoughts and motives of almost all the recruits, and all the recruits have tried to change their wrong thinking. Although quite a few people verbally admit their ideological motives, they do not really solve the problem ideologically, and some people even just tell lies, but the entire recruit company has begun to show a positive ideological attitude and has risen to the consciousness of being a soldier.

But even though everyone is correcting their thoughts, there are still their true thoughts, but everyone doesn't try to show them, or what they show is only the positive side, not the negative side. In the end, almost all the recruits' speeches were in the same step: One red heart, two preparations! I am a brick of the revolution, and I will move it wherever it is needed! Bitter or not, think of the 25,000th Long March! Tired or not, think of the revolutionary old-timers!

Chen Hansheng was secretly amused by some people who were completely lying, and thought of himself, and occasionally concealed some true thoughts, feeling that people were a somewhat strange animal, not thinking about things according to normal thinking, but going around the corner to deceive others and deceive themselves.

Gradually, Chen Hansheng was no longer interested in political study, and he felt that this kind of political study, which could not solve the fundamental problem, was clearly going through a process. It is almost impossible for people to have no selfish thoughts. Not to mention the recruit soldiers, even the chiefs will have different personal ideas.

Chen Hansheng began to shift his energy, and when he had nothing to do, he went to see the Wuhan recruit playing the violin. He felt more and more that playing the violin was really the best thing to do, but in the recruit company, he could not and did not have the energy to do it, and he had to wait until he entered the veteran company to think about it.

What made Chen Hansheng feel strange was that the Wuhan recruit who played the violin was only interested in playing the violin, and was not very interested in anything else, and he never even spoke at the meeting, unless a chief asked him to speak by name.

On this day, Chen Hansheng went to see the Wuhan recruits practicing the piano again, and suddenly found a piece of paper in front of him, and the score on the paper was not the kind of Arabic numerals, but some strange symbols drawn on five lines, and those symbols were all in one shape, and they were neither numbers nor words, but like tadpoles that had not grown into frogs.

"What is this?" Chen Hansheng asked curiously.

"Staff. Wuhan recruits said.

It was the first time Chen Hansheng had heard of this thing, so he further asked, "Why do you use this to learn to play the piano, can't you use simple notation?"

"No!" said the Wuhan recruit, "you must first learn to know this to learn the violin!"

Chen Hansheng didn't expect that this was still an obstacle before learning to play the violin, and he further realized that learning to play the violin is not a simple thing, and it is even a bit unattainable.

Seeing the Wuhan recruits practicing with one of their left hands, Chen Hansheng asked again, "Does it hurt if your hand has been pinned like this for a long time?"

"Of course it hurts!" said the Wuhan recruit, "but after a long time, I got used to it, and it didn't hurt anymore." ”

Chen Hansheng was about to say something when a hurried whistle sounded from the recruit company.
