The reason for the elimination is not that it is not excellent, but that it is short. Is it my own hard work to be tall and short? I, who have been pursuing "striving to be the first" since I was a child, will I lose my size today? What is going on?

The north wind was blowing, and the fields in winter were bare, full of rivers and skies, and old trees and crows. It doesn't excite people at all.

When I saw the village party secretary riding a bicycle to accompany me back to the village alone, I suddenly thought that he was sending four people to participate in the physical examination on behalf of the village cadres.

Now that he has been eliminated, why did he come back with him? If there was something wrong with those three people, wouldn't it be a dereliction of duty if he wasn't there?

"Second uncle, you go back to the township and accompany the three of them. I'm fine. Just go home by yourself!" I politely reminded him.

"It's okay, it's okay. The three of them were just running and drilling. I'll report your matter to the leaders of the Armed Forces Department. ”

"Hmm. I nodded in agreement, thinking, "Aren't I just short and weed?" If the army had a special need to recruit someone like me with martial arts expertise, wouldn't Company Commander Zhang change his mind and accept me exceptionally?

The village party secretary is kind-hearted and does what he promises. When he came to the Township Armed Forces Department to introduce my specialty, Officer Wang of the conscription unit came to the Township Armed Forces Department to find Company Commander Zhang, saying that the performance team of the army needed an actor who could do martial arts, and asked him to pay attention to talents in this area.

When our village party secretary heard this, he immediately recommended me to Secretary Wang. Company Commander Zhang was afraid that the village party secretary would exaggerate his words, and proposed to inspect me. The village party secretary hurriedly called me and told me: Go to the township armed forces department to find Company Commander Zhang.

After dinner, I didn't tell the village party secretary, and I rode a bicycle to the township armed forces department. When I got there, I saw that the small office was already full of people.

At first glance, these people are all middle-class and lower-class people. If nothing else, they must have been eliminated by visual inspection, and they came here to find Company Commander Zhang grinding his teeth again!

Among them was an old man, with gray hair, and his chest was covered with military medals, and next to him stood a short young man, presumably his grandson, who had been eliminated by sight, and went out in person to intercede in the face of an old hero.

I had the trump card of martial arts, and I was not polite, I pulled away from the crowd in front of me and came straight to Company Commander Zhang.

"Hehe, you also visually eliminated the unwilling, came to intercede, right?" When Company Commander Zhang looked at my size, he guessed about it.

"Company Commander Zhang, the village party secretary asked me to come to you. I said bluntly.

"Which village party secretary?" Company Commander Zhang didn't react at once.

"It is the village party secretary of our Wangjiazhuang. "I just got it clear.

"Oh......" Company Commander Zhang listened to the words of Wangjiazhuang, took out a small notepad from his pocket, flipped through a few pages, and then asked: "You are from the stilt Yangge team of the Xie family, and your stage name is Xie Dexin." Isn't it?"

"Yes. I nodded, thinking there was a way out.

"I heard that your martial arts are very good. Company Commander Zhang stared at me and asked.

"Usual!" I replied modestly.

"Just practice for us here, how about it?" Company Commander Zhang had the meaning of on-site assessment.

"Absolutely. "I don't think I can hesitate at this moment, let alone be shy. So, he took a step back, stood up straight, and then improvised a set of simple five-step punches, and then waved at Company Commander Zhang with both hands.

My kung fu is the result of years of hard work. As soon as I performed so solemnly, the small room was suddenly filled with the sound of whirring wind, and the buzzing and chattering in the room just now suddenly disappeared.

Those who came to plead were stunned by my fists and feet, but fortunately, Zhang Xiaoqiu, the officer of the Armed Forces Department, was a person who had seen the world, and he made a pot of boiling water and was sending it to the house.

When he played the first set of Dongzuo, he took the lead in applauding, and said loudly: "Wenhua, you can do it! Everyone else has come to show their heads, but you are here with bright fists and feet! Well, the kung fu is good." There's no problem with being a literary soldier, right? Company Commander Zhang ......"

Company Commander Zhang didn't answer Zhang Xiaoqiu's words, but just looked at me with a smile, and said in his heart: This kid, kung fu is really so interesting......

I was orally informed by the village party secretary of the matter of participating in the physical examination. In the office of the village branch, several other tall fellow villagers were very surprised that I was able to participate in the formal physical examination after being eliminated by visual inspection, and kept asking the village party secretary this and that, as if to set up the topic of me pulling connections and going through the back door.

The village party secretary ignored their inquiries, and when they asked too much, he shouted at them: "Visual inspection and elimination of participation in physical examinations are the needs of the revolution and the needs of army building. Can you manage it? Not to mention Wenhua's medium height, even the Erdun who is fed by the township welfare institute has to participate in a formal physical examination!

What? Erdunzi also participated in the formal physical examination? This time, it was my turn to be surprised: Erdunzi is a famous little frustration in the township.

He didn't have any special skills, so how could he have been taken care of and entered the team for a formal physical examination? Could it be that it was really the leaders of the township government who came forward to intercede and wanted to change the place for the orphan to eat?

In my mind, the army should be a golden iron horse, a uniform environment, full of iron-blooded spirit, how did it become a welfare home for people like Erdunzi? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a trace of inexplicable disappointment in my heart.

After the official physical examination, I went to the city hospital for a CT test, and the news came from the village that I had passed the physical examination and was about to enlist in the army. However, there was no official "Notice of Enlistment" issued by the above, but was informed through family visits.

That afternoon, my brother and I were dealing with the old tree root called "Five Flower Heads". I was going to split it and let my mother burn it when she was cooking the New Year's dinner.

This tree was bought by the eldest brother as wood, and its body and branches have long been made into beautiful carpentry furniture. However, because of the complex texture and hard texture, the roots of this tree can only be split and burned.

In fact, all the old tree roots seem to have become essences, and they are unwilling to enter the stove pit and burn to ashes, so they stubbornly resist people's transformation of it.

The eldest brother borrowed the pointed pickaxe from the neighbor's house, hoping to split the old tree root with this sharp drill, but did not know that the old tree root seemed to have committed evil and did not give in at all.

The eldest brother raised the pickaxe several times, and then slashed it hard, but not only was the root of the old tree not split, but he would even clamp the sharp pickaxe, and he couldn't pull it out for a long time.

"Damn, I don't believe I can't cure you!" I asked my eldest brother to rest, took the pickaxe myself, picked it up again, and slashed it hard, but this time the pickaxe fell deeper, not only was it difficult to pull it out, but it didn't even mean to loosen.

"It seems like it's a technical job. Seeing that neither of us could untie the old roots, the eldest brother said slowly: "No wonder someone specializes in the handicraft of splitting wood, there must be some ingenuity in this!"

"Wenhua, it's wrong for you to do this. "The two of us brothers were at a loss for the roots of the old tree, when someone suddenly spoke next to us, and at a glance, it turned out to be the big black company commander Zhang who came from the township to recruit soldiers.

"Company Commander Zhang, you're here. Come in and sit down!" the eldest brother hurriedly gave way.

Company Commander Zhang nodded to the eldest brother, and did not enter the house, but took the pickaxe from my hand, first raised it high, and then smashed the pickaxe sideways on the root of the tree.

At that time, it seemed that the roots of the tree had not been smashed open, but it seemed to have been greatly damaged, and when Company Commander Zhang split the tip of the pickaxe again, the old roots finally cracked a crack, unlike our brothers who smashed it down just an eye.

"Well, it's still Company Commander Zhang's strength and ...... door," the eldest brother praised, and then let the guests into the house.

"To do this work, you have to smash it with force to reduce its hardness, and then you can split it...... I smashed it just now, and even if it couldn't be opened, it split its internal structure, so if I split it again, it would be fruitful. ”

"Company Commander Zhang, your arm strength is too great! Have you ever practiced kung fu?" I looked at Company Commander Zhang's hands and arms, and asked enviously.

"Hehe, I'm not a good guy. If you want to talk about kung fu, the third squad leader of our guard platoon is the most powerful. You'll know when you get to the troops. If you practice with him for a few years, you will definitely be a tough guy in the future!"

After Company Commander Zhang finished speaking, he handed me the pickaxe and clapped his hands, and the eldest brother asked his mother to bring a basin of water, and asked Company Commander Zhang to clean his hands, and then the guests entered the house.

"Auntie, your family Wenhua has been approved to enlist in the army. You always support him to be a soldier, right?" said to his mother as soon as Company Commander Zhang entered the room.

"Yes, yes. We supported him from the moment he signed up. Since his superiors approved it, we sent him off to the army. The mother was busy with her expression.

"Wenhua, you don't have any questions, right?" said Company Commander Zhang asked me again.

"No problem. When I arrived at the troops, I asked Company Commander Zhang for a lot of help. "I was very happy to hear that I had become a soldier. Speak politely.

"Company Commander Zhang, this group of soldiers ...... Where are you going, when are you leaving?" the eldest brother thought of a key question and quickly asked.

"We belong to the Shenyang Military Region, and of course we stay in the Northeast. "Maybe it's a secret, Company Commander Zhang only said the general direction, as for the specific station in the northeast, of course it can't be disclosed.

"Which province in the Northeast? If Heilongjiang is not good, it's cold!" The eldest brother interjected casually when he heard this, "Do you want to bring a few more sets of cotton clothes?"

"Don't, don't. Company Commander Zhang immediately said: "After the Spring Festival, we will set off on the eighth day of the first month." First, he went to the county seat for a few days of training, changed his clothes into military uniforms, and then took the train to the northeast. When the time comes, the family will go to the county seat to send it and get his old clothes back by the way. Company Commander Zhang made the situation clear.

After listening to Company Commander Zhang's words, the eldest brother asked his mother to prepare for cooking, and wanted to invite Company Commander Zhang to stay for dinner. Company Commander Zhang politely declined and said, "We have discipline and are not allowed to eat." I came today, mainly to inform, and by the way, to make a home visit. Don't be polite, old man! Your letting Wenhua join the army is the greatest support for our work. ”
