The car drove out of the recruit company and ran for quite some time, the terrain changed, and what appeared in front of the recruits was no longer a plain area, but a mountainous area. Some of the recruits began to talk about it, implying that they came from the mountains and thought that they could get out of the mountains by becoming soldiers, but they did not expect to end up in the mountains, and the mountains here were bigger and deeper than the mountains in their hometowns.

Chen Hansheng didn't think about this question, after he came out of the sentimentality just now, his mind was full of some fantasies about the future of the next company. One of his fantasies was to buy a violin as soon as he left the company, and take the time to start practicing. The second fantasy is that when he arrives in the veteran company, he doesn't need to be afraid of any repercussions, he can boldly wear his watch and control the work and rest time.

As the time went on, and with the cradle-like bump of the car up and downhill, the recruits began to be tired, and some even fell asleep. There is only a few bars of the car without a canvas on the mountain road, if the recruits come to doze off, they will be hit by the car, and there will even be a danger of ejecting the car.

Company Commander Wu, who was in charge of picking up the recruits, hurriedly and loudly ordered, "Comrades recruits! The company is about to arrive! Come! Let's sing a military song!"

The recruits responded positively. However, in the recruit company, everyone learned several military songs, but they didn't know which one to sing.

Company Commander Wu prompted, "Just sing the song I joined the People's Liberation Army!"

The high-spirited and agitated military song suddenly sounded in the car and echoed in the valley, producing a far-reaching shock.

A military song, at this critical moment when the recruits are about to go down to the company, has played a huge role in inspiring people to eliminate distractions, and also made the emotional Chen Hansheng further realize that being a soldier is originally to protect the family and defend the country, not to let people find a way. If everyone came to be a soldier to find a way, then this army is still like a army, can it still fight?

When thinking like this, Chen Hansheng's mentality is more balanced.

The military vehicle entered the depths of a mountain road and finally stopped in a small field of a barracks.

There were almost two platoons of recruits, concentrated on that small field.

Company Commander Wu introduced himself aloud: "My name is Wu Daming, Wu of Koutian Wu, big and small, tomorrow's Ming! I am also the company commander of this company! Today, as the company commander of this company, I personally pick you up and welcome you to this special service company, hoping that you will perform well in this company and repay our country with excellent academic performance and military training results, and become a qualified soldier!"

After the disbandment, the recruits were in place according to the company's arrangement.

In Chen Hansheng's mind, like other recruits, he had a doubt: What did Company Commander Wu mean by the special service company? Is it because of the special work of this service company, or is it because of something else?

Someone finally figured out what Company Commander Wu said, and it turned out that this service company was not an ordinary logistics warehouse service company, but a service company that directly served the military station, and it could also be said to be the kind of service company that served the chief. After hearing this explanation, many recruits had a good premonition, and they even felt that this service company might be the base for joining the party and promoting cadres.

Chen Hansheng, who only wants to learn to play the violin, is not very interested in this. The second day after entering the company, which also happened to be Sunday, Chen Hansheng did not talk to the chief like some soldiers, but went to Xinyang with the car and bought a brand-new violin.

Chen Hansheng, who was in an anxious mood, couldn't wait to start learning to play the violin immediately, but when he opened the violin case again, he didn't even understand how to place the shoulder rest of the violin for a long time.

At the beginning, the sound of the chicken-killing piano, and because of the monotony of foreign etudes, soon made the soldiers in the company begin to get bored, especially those veterans, who felt that Chen Hansheng was not playing the piano, but was punishing them with cruel auditory stimulation. A veteran even directly called Chen Hansheng to stop.

Chen Hansheng did not expect to encounter such an obstacle at the beginning, and he suspended his playing of the violin not out of fear, but out of respect. When he had any more time, he did not leave himself in the class, but took the violin and went to the mountains and forests outside the barracks, and began to continue learning to play.

The veteran soldier who had stopped Chen Hansheng, when he saw Chen Hansheng holding the piano and about to go out, he thought that he was the oldest soldier with the most qualifications, and he was full of thought that Chen Hansheng was afraid of him, so he said to him in a frightened tone of a veteran, "You'd better stop with me! The service company is not the place for you to play the piano!"

"Can't I go to the woods to pull?" Chen Hansheng said very unhappily, "I just don't affect your rest!"

"How can it not be affected?" said the old soldier, "as soon as you pull it, the sound of killing chickens will come to my ears!"

Chen Hansheng said, "Then I'll stay away from the barracks." ”

"It's not okay to stay away!" said the veteran, a little overbearingly.

"I'm sorry!" Chen Han said bluntly, "You can tell me to stay away, but you have no right to interfere with me playing the violin!"

"What?" the veteran suddenly became angry, and said angrily, "You, a rookie who has just joined the company, dare to say in front of me that I have no right to interfere?

Chen Hansheng also said angrily, "I just don't know how high the sky is and how thick the ground is, so what?"

The veteran's eyes were red, and he was like he wanted to beat someone, Chen Hansheng was not the kind of person who bullied the weak and was afraid of the hard, he immediately confronted the veteran, and the two of them were like two fighting cocks that did not give in to each other.

There were many recruits and veterans inside and outside the class.

The veteran finally endured it, of course he didn't want to be ruined in this trivial matter after a few years of hard work, but the veteran didn't want to lose the battle, so he changed his tone and said to Chen Hansheng sarcastically, "If you have the ability, you can directly enter the art troupe or the army propaganda team, don't be embarrassed here!

Chen Hansheng didn't bother to pay attention to those words, he walked out of the barracks with the violin on his back as if he were demonstrating.

Chen Hansheng, who was full of anger, began his practice of the piano that he was not afraid of hardship.

When a whistle sounded from the barracks, Chen Hansheng hurriedly packed up his violin, but when he rushed back to the barracks, he was still a step late, and the new and old soldiers were already lined up on the playground. Chen Hansheng quickly put down the violin, came to the front of the queue, and made a report to Company Commander Wu, who glanced at him and responded, and Chen Hansheng entered the queue.

In front of the team, Company Commander Wu criticized in a way that did not name names, "When the new recruits leave the company, there will be a very unfriendly quarrel between the new and old soldiers, and the impact will be very bad.

Although Company Commander Wu's criticism was not directly named, it was well known to everyone. Chen Hansheng was very uneasy about this, and even felt a little aggrieved, it was a fact that there was a quarrel, but he didn't seem to be wrong, if it wasn't for the veteran being domineering, there would not have been such a quarrel between them. Thinking of today's first day after he went down to the company because of this, he almost missed the military plane because of piano practice, Chen Hansheng felt even more inexplicable ideological pressure. The combination of these two things made Chen Hansheng feel even more bad.

Chen Hansheng decided that the next time he went to practice, he must bring his watch and return to the barracks a few minutes early.

Thinking that he had already arrived in the veteran company, there should be nothing wrong with wearing a watch, Chen Hansheng seemed to wear the jewel flower watch justifiably.

Because of the fear of delays, Chen Hansheng gradually developed a habit of liking to look at his watch. Even when he was in a class meeting, he would habitually look at his watch.

This detail of Chen Hansheng was mistaken by some people for showing off. As a soldier, especially a recruit, you must definitely keep a low profile, and if you show off, you will be seen as a bird. Although no one hinted at Chen Hansheng, or even any hints, Chen Hansheng still felt that there was an abnormal strange reaction in his world, and the look in the eyes of almost everyone when they looked at him seemed to be different.

On this morning, the second Sunday after Chen Hansheng left the company, Chen Hansheng was about to go out to practice with his violin, when suddenly the squad leader stopped him and said, "The company told you to go for a while." ”

Chen Hansheng suddenly had a very bad premonition, but he couldn't avoid it.

This time, it was not Company Commander Wu who talked to Chen Hansheng, but Instructor Xu. Instructor Xu told him in a very cordial tone, as if he was talking to his family, "Because of the needs of revolutionary work, you will be transferred to a service company of 485, and you will set off with the car tomorrow, and you will make all preparations today." I hope that after you get there, you will work hard, and at the same time, you will pay attention to your own influence, and strive to make good results in your new position!"

"Why?" a question suddenly arose in Chen Hansheng's mind, but he still controlled it strongly and did not say this question. As a fighter, you have to obey the organization's assignment, and if you have to ask why, it will make the organization think that you, a warrior, have the meaning of disobeying the assignment.

Chen Hansheng accepted this arrangement with some discouragement.

That night, Chen Hansheng barely fell asleep, and he thought to himself, what mistake had he made? Was it just because he had a few words with the old soldier, even if he made a mistake? Or because he loved playing the violin, it was also a mistake? Or, because of something else? Thinking about it, Chen Hansheng felt that he had not made any mistake in principle, and besides, if he had made a mistake, even the instructor would not have talked to him in such a tone that he had not made a mistake.

One day in 2020 AD, one of Chen Hansheng's comrades-in-arms revealed the secret to Chen Hansheng at the dinner table: "Chen Hansheng, do you know why you were transferred to the service company of the military station back then?"

"I don't know. Chen Hansheng, who is 66 years old, said.

"Think about it!" the comrades-in-arms deliberately sold off.

Chen Hansheng thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because of the quarrel I had with that veteran." ”

"No!" said his comrade-in-arms, "although this matter has a bad impact, it will not transfer you out of the service company of the military station." ”

"That's why I love playing the violin!" Chen Hansheng said, "or maybe it was because I almost missed the military plane when I played the violin." ”

"It's not!" continued to shake his head.

Chen Hansheng couldn't think of any other reason, because with the passage of time, his relevant memories had long been blurred.

"Because you wear a watch!" the comrade-in-arms bluntly spat out his baggage.

"Wearing a watch?" Chen Hansheng finally recalled this detail after a long period of time, but he still said very incomprehensibly, "What's wrong with wearing a watch? When I was in the recruit company, didn't the squad leader tell me that the influence of the recruit company wearing a watch is not good, and if you get out of the veteran company, you should be fine!"

"That's not the case!" the comrade-in-arms further reminded, "At that time, wearing a watch was to engage in specialization, not to mention that you were a recruit, even the veteran of the high-ranking sons and daughters, he didn't dare to wear a watch casually, at most he only occasionally took it out to take a look, and he didn't often wear it on his hand." ”

"Oh! That's it!" Chen Hansheng suddenly realized, but after many years, his awakening no longer had any meaning.

"You!" the comrade-in-arms continued, "Actually, at that time, you were in that service company, and you were still doing well in all aspects of political study, and playing the violin was also affirmed by the chief, but you ruined yourself! If you don't transfer to the service company of the military station, maybe your life will be rewritten." ”

"Actually, I also have this awareness!" Chen Hansheng sighed, "The lack of criticism from the recruit company by name has already given me a strong signal, but I have always felt that what is the big deal about wearing a watch?

"You!" said the comrade-in-arms with a smile, "If you don't hit the south wall and don't look back, the recruit company will not accept the lesson, and you will still be self-righteous when you get out of the company! This may be one of the reasons for your failure in life!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Hansheng smiled bitterly.
