Before I got over from junior high school, I started a week-long military training in late September.

The military training base is located in a remote suburb, and it takes about two hours to set off at 8 o'clock in the morning.

With the freshness of military training, everyone is as interested as an autumn outing. Looking at those young and excited faces, Huang Zhong thought silently: You will cry in a few days.

The red wall at the entrance is engraved with the golden "Z City National Defense Education Base", several white buildings stand tall, and next to the basketball court is the dormitory building.

The first thing you do when you arrive is to find the dormitory to put your luggage. The dormitory has 4 bunk beds, not spacious but bright, the wooden bed is covered with white sheets, and white pillows and tofu blocks are neatly arranged at the head of the bed.

Li Ling was assigned to the same dormitory as Su Ying, Chen Yimin, Yao Yuexing, Liang Tongxin, Wu Lan, Mo Tong, and Pan Rumeng.

Su Ying and Li Ling have lived together in junior high school for three years, and they tacitly choose to sleep in the same bunk bed. Considering the inconvenience of climbing the ladder, Li Ling took the initiative to ask to sleep on the upper bunk.

After cleaning up for a while, the whistle of the assembly suddenly sounded, Li Ling and his roommates hurried downstairs, and saw Huang Zhong standing not far away waving, and some classmates were already standing sparsely next to him.

After the assembly was completed, an indicator tone sounded on the radio: "Platoon commanders, stand up!

A row of instructors in military uniforms with tall postures and swarthy complexions and tough facial features gradually came into view, and everyone couldn't help but marvel at the natural masculinity exuded by the soldiers.

After the company commander made a polite and standardized speech for more than 10 minutes, the formal training began.

A man with a cold face and a serious face, with a pronounced jaw line, walked in front of him. Huang Zhong smiled at him, and turned to everyone: "Next, I will leave it to Instructor Zeng to take care of you, but I will always accompany you as an assistant." ”

Instructor Zeng cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Teacher Huang." Yes, my surname is Zeng, you can call me Instructor Zeng, or Platoon Commander Zeng, and I am responsible for leading you in this military training. Our class is in the 11th row, so be sure to keep it in mind. ”

"I don't care how pampered you usually are," his tone aggravated, "No matter how much your family spoils you, you are soldiers when you come here, you must obey orders and obey commands!"

"Listen to the order, stand upright!

"Each column is lined up by height from short to tall!"

There were four queues, the first row were the four youngest girls in the class, Yang Zhenzhen stuck out her tongue and stood in the first row with a smile, and Pan Rumeng sighed, as if she was sighing why she couldn't grow taller.

Although Li Ling is only one meter sixty-one, she is not very short in a group of southern girls, standing in the fourth row, with Su Ying in front of her.

The only 15 boys in the class had a huge difference in height. The four tallest boys, Wu Xin, Wen Jinxing, Li Sheng, and Jiang Zhiqing, stood at the end to form a human wall, while several short boys were interspersed among the girls.

After determining the position, the instructor taught some basic queue movements, ordered to stand for 20 minutes, and then taught how to wear a military uniform and declare various military training requirements.

At noon, the shadows under the sun gradually faded, and occasionally a few drops of sweat fell on the floor to deepen the color of the concrete floor.

When it was time to eat, all rows lined up to enter the cafeteria.

The scene of eating in the canteen of the military training base for the first time is unforgettable.

A small wooden round table, seven or eight people around a table, the lunch box brought by itself is neatly placed on the table, each table assigns two people to serve the meal, and then evenly distributed to each person's lunch box, waiting for the company commander to give an order before starting to move the chopsticks, the meal time is only five minutes.

Almost everyone had doubts and confusion written on their faces, and in the face of the bland and tasteless coarse grain cabbage in front of them, many people ate slowly, barely swallowed, and had not eaten half a bowl, but suddenly heard the company commander give an order to stop moving chopsticks and not be allowed to eat again, everyone's eyes widened, but they didn't expect that it was really only five minutes. Li Ling no longer moved, fortunately, the food in the lunch box had already been eaten, and Su Ying on the right only ate a few bites because she had no appetite.

Then the company commander began to criticize Fang Cai's noisy noise, the sound of discussion, the speed of eating and the speed of stopping chopsticks, and said that everyone would not be allowed to eat if he committed another offense.

Since then, everyone has eaten faster than lightning and gobbled up, after all, without eating, physical strength cannot keep up with the rigors of training.

Because it is forbidden to bring snacks and any dry food, the commissary next to the dormitory building is crowded after lunch. Su Ying was hungry, Li Ling accompanied her to buy bread, and just happened to see Wen Jinxing buy a bottle of Coke.

"You're drinking carbonated drinks again!" Although Li Ling was a little angry and helpless, it sounded like a strange thing because of the baby's voice.

Wen Jinxing pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Military training is so tired, drink some drinks and relax~ Do you want to invite you to drink?"

Li Ling frowned: "Don't." You pay attention to your body!"

Then he led Su Ying back to the dormitory, and when he turned around, he happened to see Jiang Zhiqing and Li Sheng. After half a month of school, Li Ling basically remembered the people in the class.

Facing the eyes of Shangjiang Zhiqing and Li Sheng, Li Sheng greeted him warmly, and Li Ling responded with a smile: "Hey, let's go back to the dormitory first." ”

Su Ying was shy, just smiling faintly, while Jiang Zhiqing was paralyzed as always.

The lunch break was only one hour, and it took a long time to sort out daily necessities, and finally everyone ushered in the afternoon military training without sleeping. The main content is housekeeping, how to fold tofu blocks, how to place personal belongings, and how to score.

The scoring criteria are very strict, for example, there can be no garbage in the trash can, no stagnant water on the balcony, and no hair on the floor, otherwise points will be deducted, and those with more points will be criticized.

The most difficult thing is the tofu block, after the military training at night, the corridors in the dormitory are all tinkering with quilts, like little bees in the cotton pile.

Everyone slept deeply that night, and the skeleton was about to fall apart after a day of tossing.

At 5:40 a.m., we had to assemble, and we were afraid that we would not be able to catch up in time, and everyone unanimously decided to get up at 5 o'clock, and Wu Lan and Liang Tongxin would be responsible for the next day's sanitation in the order of beds.

Li Ling tidied up her bed quilt and personal belongings, and when she finished putting it on and was about to leave, she found that Pan Rumeng was about to cry, and her quilt couldn't be folded well.

"Don't worry, I'll help you. Li Ling said soothingly.

Time was pressing, and everyone else went to gather one after another, Li Ling sped up and folded the perfect tofu cube with Pan Rumeng, but the whistle had already sounded just after it was placed. There was no one else on the entire floor, and Li Ling pulled Pan Rumeng and rushed downstairs in a hurry, but finally he was late.

Instructor Zeng's face was as embarrassed as if he had eaten a bitter melon, and no one was late in several classes around, he stared at Li Ling and Pan Rumeng with eagle-like eyes and said, "Enter the queue first, and then clean you up later!"

Sure enough, after practicing for two hours in a row to kick and turn the method, Li Ling and Pan Rumeng were called out alone.

"All stand in a military posture for half an hour, and the two who are late come out and stand for an hour!"

The scorching sun was like a fire, Li Ling did not have the habit of wearing sunscreen, his short ear-length hair was wrapped behind his ears, and the completely exposed right side of his face was gradually hot and reddened by the sun, but what was more scorching than the sun was the gaze of his classmates and passing instructors.

Pan Rumeng felt guilty because she felt that she had burdened Li Qi, but she didn't dare to speak at the moment.

"Stand up! those who have small movements will stand up like them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he caught the person who was whispering.

"You two! Come out!

When Li Ling was still wondering who it was, Jiang Zhiqing walked out of the team, and Li Sheng followed closely behind him.

Everyone was a little surprised, Jiang Zhiqing was usually silent and would not violate the law at such a time, probably because Li Sheng talked to him and dragged him into the water.

Jiang Zhiqing stood on Li Ling's right, twenty or thirty centimeters apart, and her tall figure just blocked the sunlight that was originally shining on her face.

Although it is the golden autumn equinox, it should be clear and cold, but a coastal city like Z City can be said to have only winter and summer, not spring and autumn. In September and October, the sun is still fierce, accompanied by a few gentle autumn winds.

The wind blew gently, and the boy exuded a faint good smell, mixed with the smell of sweat, which smelled like sea salt.

After twenty minutes, many people who lacked daily exercise were physically exhausted, especially girls, gritted their teeth and survived the last ten minutes, and immediately collapsed to the ground as soon as they heard the command to rest, and the four of them had to stand for another half an hour.

Li Ling is not worried about her physical strength, although she looks thin, her physical fitness has always been good, but Pan Rumeng on the left side is already sweating profusely and crumbling.

After another ten minutes, Li Ling saw that Pan Rumeng's eyes were already half-closed, and it seemed that she was about to fall down in the next second, she couldn't help but raise her right hand and shouted a report: "Instructor, her body is already very weak, can you let me stand in a military posture on her behalf, I can stand for double the time." ”

Instructor Zeng glanced at Li Ling, who looked weak but had firm eyes, and then looked at Pan Rumeng, who had a bloodless face, and sighed: "The four of you remember this lesson and don't do it again." Okay, let's all rest. ”

Li Ling breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly supported Pan Rumeng, who had weak legs, and slowly walked to the shade.

Li Sheng followed beside him and asked with concern, "Are you two okay?"

"I'm fine," Li Ling squeezed out a smile, "Can you help me watch Pan Rumeng?" I'll go get water for her to drink." ”

"I'll get it. Before Li Sheng could answer, Jiang Zhiqing opened his mouth, and the sweat on his forehead had not yet been wiped away.

Li Ling was a little surprised, but also readily agreed: "Her water bottle is light blue, printed with the pattern of Donald Duck." ”

"Good. ”

The water bottles of the whole class were placed on the stairs thirty meters away, and Li Sheng followed Jiang Zhiqing to get them.

Dozens of water bottles, large and small, stood in a disorderly manner, and Jiang Zhiqing picked up a nude pink water bottle.

Li Sheng immediately reminded him: "I took it wrong, it's light blue." ”

"This is Li Ling's. The tone was nonchalant.

"Did she just say that?"

"Hmm. ”

When they returned, Li Sheng and Jiang Zhiqing both had two water bottles in their hands, one was their own and the other was a girl's.

"Is this it?" Li Sheng asked Pan Rumeng, holding up a light blue water bottle.

Pan Rumeng nodded, took the water bottle, and said thank you.

"Yours. Jiang Zhiqing handed Li Ling's water bottle to her.

Li Ling was stunned for a moment, looked at Jiang Zhiqing, and finally only said thank you.

His sweat still kept dripping down his forehead, and his face was red, but his expression was still detached and cold.

After the basic training in the afternoon, Instructor Zeng was no longer with a straight face, and his attitude was much gentler, so that everyone sat on the ground and followed him to learn to sing the military songs "We Are Soldiers" and "Unity is Strength", which are all familiar songs.

can't grind everyone, Instructor Zeng taught Zhang Zhenyue's "Goodbye".

The first time Li Ling heard this song, the melody was pleasant, the lyrics were sincere, and he quickly learned it.

Everyone laughed and hummed, and many years later, Li Ling recalled that this was the last time she sang carefree, without pressure, burden, and sadness.

After singing the song, Instructor Zeng said that each row of the final show had to perform a program, and the form and content were not limited.

After the lights out break, this topic was the most lively discussion in the dormitory.

Wu Lan is the squad leader, and the adjective hanging on his body is "domineering side leakage", Liang Tongxin joked: "Squad leader, you go up and perform a chest broken boulder." ”

Squad leader: "You come to be the chest, and I'll beat the boulder." ”

"No, no, no, Wu Xin should be asked to wear super shorts and sing Lady Gaga's song!" Chen Yimin said with a wicked smile.

You and I don't stop saying one sentence after another, and you can't come to a conclusion for a long time without saying anything serious.

Suddenly the whistle blew, and Yao Yuexing reacted first: "Urgently assemble!"

The girls quickly got out of bed and quickly wrapped themselves in military uniforms, put on military shoes, and didn't care about anything else, grabbed their military caps and immediately ran out.

The corridors were crowded with people, and in order to prevent a stampede, everyone slowed down appropriately.

When they arrived at the meeting point, almost everyone was disheveled or had messy hair, Li Ling saw that Jiang Zhiqing was neatly dressed, still looking calm and relaxed, she was very curious about under what circumstances Jiang Zhiqing would be flustered.

The instructor gave a minute to tidy up his clothes, and the reprimand of the company commander sounded again from the radio, and the speed of assembly, laughter, and dress questions were all severely criticized.

They were instructed to return to the dormitory quietly and wait for the second whistle before quickly reuniting.

The results of the second meeting were satisfactory, and everyone was finally released back to the dormitory to rest. As soon as they returned to the dormitory, the girls looked at each other and laughed heartily at the memory of each other's embarrassment.

The next day, the class unanimously approved the proposal of Yang Zhenzhen, Wang Qianen, Li Sheng and Jiang Zhiqing to dance as a pas de deux and the rest of the people to sing in chorus.

This was proposed by Yang Zhenzhen and Wang Qianen, who both briefly learned ballroom dancing when they were young. Although Li Sheng and Jiang Zhiqing can't dance, they are undoubtedly the most suitable candidates to be male partners in the class, both in appearance and figure.

Considering the class honor, Jiang Zhiqing hesitated for a long time and agreed at the instigation of Li Sheng.

Interestingly, both boys are 184 cm tall, while Wang Qianen and Yang Zhenzhen are the tallest and shortest girls in the class, respectively. In the end, it was Wang Qianen and Jiang Zhiqing, Li Sheng and Yang Zhenzhen who became partners.

During the rest of the military training after that, you can see the four of them practicing hard, Jiang Zhiqing and Li Sheng have no dance foundation and have stiff limbs, and the two girls do their best to teach and drive them.

Dandelion stared at the men and women holding hands and dancing, and said to Li Ling with a smile: "Li Ling, don't you think Jiang Zhiqing and Wang Qianen are a good match? It seems that 12 centimeters is the best height difference for couples, and the two of them are just right. ”

Wang Qianen's appearance is not exquisite, but her facial features are coordinated and atmospheric, and she is tall, even if she wears a military uniform, she can't hide her long legs.

Li Ling looked at it and felt that it was very compatible, and bent his clear eyes and said, "Yes, it's a good match, maybe I will have feelings after dancing this dance." ”

"Then we have the right class!"

chatting and chatting, the picture in the idol drama has appeared in the minds of the two people, and they happily snort CP.

The military training also allowed Li Ling to experience shooting, but after entering junior high school, Li Ling's eyesight was not as good as before, and he did not wear glasses, so he couldn't see the center of the target at all, so he could only hold the gun and shoot indiscriminately, and all of them missed the target without accident.

Outdoor obstacle jumping training is also quite new and interesting, climbing the ground, climbing over walls, drilling holes, crossing the balance beam, etc., which she has never tried before, she is nervous and looking forward to it. The whole class was filmed and burned in a CD, and later Li Ling saw her ignorant and stupid snickering in the video, even though it was only a second-long shot, and she wanted to cry without tears.

Instructor Zeng can be called the devil coach during training, but when it comes to the rest time, he reveals his true colors, and likes to tell everyone about the special experience of being a soldier, everyone praises him for his bravery, he is complacent, and his slender eyes add a bit of cuteness when he laughs.

After learning that the performance of the show included ballroom dancing, he revealed that he could pole dance, and the audience was in an uproar, unanimously raising their hands and shouting "come one". In the end, under the pressure of the masses, he promised to show everyone a hand if he achieved good results in the phalanx performance.

However, the weather is like a woman's mood, and it changes when it is said.

On the evening of the fifth day of military training, the wind began to blow violently, and in the early morning of the sixth day, I was urgently informed that I needed to pack my luggage immediately and take the bus back to school due to the arrival of the typhoon.

I didn't have time to show the phalanx, I didn't have time to rehearse, I didn't have time to perform, I didn't have time to watch the instructor's pole dance, I didn't have time to say goodbye, and I never had the opportunity to meet again in this life.

Youth is always full of regrets, but there is nothing to be done.

In the car, watching the instructor waving his hand fade away, I don't know who started first, and slowly more and more people participated in the singing.

"I'm afraid I won't have a chance / Say goodbye to you / Because maybe I'll never see you again / Tomorrow I'm leaving / A familiar place with you / To be separated / My tears will fall / I'll remember your face / I will cherish the thoughts you give / These days will never be erased in my heart......"

The whole class sang in chorus, trying to sing to him, but he couldn't hear it anymore.

I don't know who it is, but I sobbed as I sang.
