When Comrade Battalion Commander received Qiao Nan's call, he was still very happy, thinking that he had finally figured it out and was going to talk about "resettlement". He couldn't wait to grab the phone, but he didn't expect that the purpose of Qiao Nan's initiative to call was just to ask for instructions, if he could go to his alma mater to do a lecture.

……

……

It's a big thing to report.

"I haven't taken off my military uniform yet, so I should always report this kind of thing to the organization, right? No one has asked me to give a lecture before, and I don't know who to report to, so I called you......

"Good, good...... Comrade Qiao Nan, you are very principled, this ...... In that case, let your alma mater send you an official message!"

"Yes!"

As if being chased by something, Qiao Nan hurriedly hung up the phone and blocked the keyword "placement" thousands of miles away.

In fact, in addition to asking for instructions, Qiao Nan also wants to confirm that an idle person like himself is still qualified to give a lecture to the younger students?

The leader of the second lieutenant colonel did not suspect it, and the leader of his unit did not suspect it, so the instructions came down quickly. The central idea is to let him highlight the military style in the new period and set a good example for local youth...... And so on and so forth, and finally to emphasize discipline and make him pay attention to the confidentiality regulations.

For someone as principled as Qiao Nan, there is no need to tell him about these matters, and he also keeps them all in mind. He was still running along the beach when he received the call. Now after running three kilometers, he is out of breath, his chest is like it is on fire, and if he runs any more, he will die.

Therefore, with the current bear appearance, how embarrassed is he to put forward the word "return to the team".

Despite this, he persistently went for a morning jog along the seashore and kept a record of himself every day. The day before the seminar, he actually ran four kilometers in one go. Although he still ran to the point of Venus, this amount of exercise is not small.

The May Day holiday of the second middle school is only two days, and the information meeting is scheduled for the afternoon of May 7. Before going out, his mother helped him tidy up his military uniform and encouraged: "Don't be nervous, they are all children as old as Baoqing, and they must all adore you." ”

"Okay, don't worry about me, I've seen a lot of big scenes. ”

Li Lanzhi sorted out his collar and said with emotion: "For this military uniform, how much trouble have you made with your family." However, I now understand why you are so persistent. Wearing this outfit, it is indeed very handsome, and it is no wonder that many boys have dreams of wearing military uniforms. ”

"Mom, although there are a lot of awkwardness, but without your support, I would have nothing to do with this dress. ”

"Naughty! Say thank you to your mother!"

Li Lanzhi is also worried about the propaganda meeting, she is not doubting whether her son is qualified, but she is worried that he will not be able to control it, and treat the propaganda meeting as his cross talk special, which will be a bad thing.

So, she once again told her son not to be naughty and to be more disciplined, Qiao Nan agreed, and said that she was measured. He took his mother's arm and walked with her towards the school. From anyone's point of view, they are a close mother and son, and there is no trace of regrouping the family.

The venue of the information session was in the auditorium of No. 2 Middle School, and more than 2,000 students from all over the school came. Not only that, but the teacher also sat in several rows (Lao Qiao sat with his wife), and Qiao Lin, who was on May Day holiday, pulled Sun Ruiyang and Xu Na to come together.

Of course, Qiao Nan's girlfriend also sat with them. Miss Wen is very good at matching clothes according to the occasion, that day she wore a dark blue floral dress with an off-white knitted kaftan on the outside, still intellectual and gentle, much like a school teacher, but she was the most dazzling presence in the crowd.

After the principal enthusiastically finished the introduction, he left Qiao Nan alone on the stage. Qiao Nan saluted the audience with a standard military salute, and the children erupted in exclamation and applauded.

Qiao Lin whispered to Wen Jing: "Sister, to be honest, it's the first time I've seen my brother look so serious, and he doesn't look like him!"

Wen Jing covered her mouth and chuckled: "Me too!"

Although such an electrician was somewhat unfamiliar, Wen Jing was still very proud and made a cheering gesture to him on the stage. Qiao Nan blinked, which was considered to be a response to him.

After the venue quieted down, Qiao Nan hesitated for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Before coming out of the house, Mr. Li told me that the target of today's lecture is a student who is about the same age as my cousin, and I actually naively believed it, so I thought of bragging with you, causing you to sigh a few times, and the matter will pass." Unexpectedly, all my family came, and the teachers who used to teach me also came...... Where is this information meeting, I feel like I am doing a work report with my leader in the past few years. What can I do about this, all the braggart drafts I typed before are all invalid. ”

The audience burst into laughter, and the teachers were also amused by him, and several naughty boys shouted "It's okay to brag, we want to listen", but they were glared at by the teacher, and they were all honest. The old couple of the Qiao family glanced at each other, with a little pride in their helplessness, Li Lanzhi scolded with a smile, "It's still that honest bear", and I don't know if my son can understand his mouth shape.

Qiao Nan cleared his throat and said, "Okay, let's get down to business, no kidding." I can read the manuscript seriously and read you some sentences from the upper outline to complete this task. But when I thought about it, when I was seventeen or eighteen years old, I didn't want to listen to the teacher's nagging, and I told us the big truth every day - don't be angry, the teachers don't be angry, I'm just more realistic, and the big truth is still very necessary. - So, I'll tell you a few little stories, depending on what you hear. ”

"Principal Guo made an introduction just now, you should have a general understanding of my profession. I remember a few years ago, my sister was poisoned by "Soldier Assault", and asked me every day, is my life very similar to Xu Sanduo? Some of them are indeed very similar, very fulfilling, very meaningful, and at the same time, very bitter and tiring. But no matter how realistic the film and television works are, what is presented is only part of it, and the subjects we train are far more than running with wood and being sprayed by high-pressure water guns, which is only the most basic. There's a lot of content that can't be said yet. I can only tell you that the situation we are actually facing is more complicated and more cruel, and the enemies we are facing are not limited to one kind, and perhaps when the lockdown is lifted one day, you will be surprised-wow, in that era of peace, there are still so many unknown struggles?"

The high school students below were amused, but they were infected by Qiao Nan, their expressions became more and more solemn, and they listened to him carefully: "In my short life, I have two particularly painful periods, one is when I first entered the military academy, I had to put away all my freedom and casualness, listen to the command in all actions, and obey orders unconditionally; The teachers' faces seem to have changed a little, can't they talk about these things at the propaganda meeting? No matter what, anyway, they have already been spoken, and they can't be taken back, I still want to show you a three-dimensional military academy life -- yes, the two transformation processes just mentioned are very painful. When I'm in so much pain that I can't sleep, I often ask myself two questions. First, why did I choose this path? Second, since I chose this path, can I gamble and finish it beautifully?"

Qiao Nan restrained his smile and said: "Regarding the first question, many people who choose to go to military schools will say an answer, that is, they have an ideal of serving the country with loyalty. However, the reality is not as rosy as imagined, and not everyone can adapt to the environment of a military school. In addition, there are too many talents in the military academy, and if you are not careful, you will wear away all your superiority. After a long time, you may complain, or you may simply choose to leave. Some people will also think that I used to be the pride of the sky, how could I be assigned to the hardest place and do the hardest work, which is not in line with my identity as a college student!"

"I fully understand this thinking, after all, I have doubted my choice. However, think about our seniors, think about those old-timers, many of them have taken root in the border defense without regrets, and even stay for a lifetime. If we say that a few decades ago, they were all very simple and affectionate people, but in modern times, there are no such people? My college roommate returned to his hometown Tibet after graduation. A year after he graduated, he posted a photo in the group, and I barely recognized him. He was just in his early twenties, his hair was about to fall out, and his skin was rougher than my father's; there was also a roommate, a third-generation red from Beijing, who was assigned to Yunnan, a place where there was not even a road, and he did not choose to live a comfortable life because of his superior family background; and his comrades-in-arms who used to train with me eventually went to the coastal defense troops, and silently guarded the motherland far from home. Maybe when it comes to my profession, everyone thinks it's quite beautiful, but casualties are like a time bomb that can explode at any time. We've all been confused, but we've all persevered, and I think that's probably the power of faith. ”

No one laughed, and it can be said that the children became more religious than ever, and continued to listen to him: "Yes, I am talking about faith, a new word that has been forgotten by many people. Students—No, juniors, I don't know if you've ever been on a plane. The first time I took a helicopter, I had no fear because I saw endless farmland, rolling hills, flowing rivers, and peaceful houses...... This land, it's really beautiful, it's beautiful. It's so beautiful that I want to do my best to take care of it. I think that's where the power of faith comes from. ”

Wen Jing and Qiao Lin glanced at each other, and they both saw the tears flashing in each other's eyes, and even Xu Na, who had always been cool, sniffed lightly. The three girls teased each other, and together with their classmates, applauded Qiao Nan.

"If you ask my classmates who are on the border, they should have suffered more than me, and if you want to ask about complaints, there must be a lot of complaints. But regret it?...... For example, when I learned that my vision in my right eye could not be restored, I was furious and even cursed God for injustice, but if you ask me if I regret it? Even if I had to do it again, I wouldn't hesitate to make the same choice. Because I'm wearing this outfit that's cool, and when I put it on, I feel like Superman saving the world, and I'm going to be worthy of it. At the critical moment, we must stand up and save the world. ”

The students applauded and cheered, Qiao Nan smiled shyly again, and made a summary: "In this era, many people may not understand the mention of 'faith'. But classmates, think about it from another angle, when you have fallen countless times and finally succeeded in completing an obstacle run, when you were numb by the recoil and finally hit the bull's-eye, when you completed long-distance training, when you could freely shuttle through the deep mountains and old forests, and when you could communicate with your comrades-in-arms in sign language, when you had contact with local fellow villagers, and they wanted to do everything to help you and comfort you...... The sense of accomplishment is incomparable, and if you have the opportunity to fly on a helicopter, don't forget to look down on this land, it's really beautiful, it's beautiful, it's going to be so beautiful that you want to protect it from the bottom of your heart. I hope that we students in the second middle school still have feelings and beliefs. I am willing to protect this land, and I have no regrets even if I die. ”

Although he died nine times, he did not regret it.

After the salute, the applause continued for a long time, and many of the boys could no longer sit still. Principal Guo motioned to the children to stop applauding, let them seize this opportunity, if there is anything they want to ask, seize the time to ask this senior.

A golden mushroom head kept jumping up and down, and the host had to hand the microphone over. The owner of that head is none other than Zhao Leilei, who is in his second year of high school. Because of this golden head, he doesn't know how much criticism he has received. But he didn't hurt or itch, and it was impossible for the teacher to cut off his head anyway.

He grabbed the microphone, and when he was excited, he blurted out: "Brother......"

The classmates burst into laughter, Zhao Leilei is worthy of being a well-known fool, and he actually recognized his relatives on such an occasion.

Zhao Leilei didn't care, and said: "I've called him brother since I was a child, what's the matter?—— that, Brother Qiao Nan, I've always wanted to ask you, if you go to the special forces, do you have to be as tall as you?"

"No, it's not good to be too tall, firstly because the target is too obvious, and secondly, there is a bias that if you are tall, it will affect flexibility. Qiao Nan paused: "Don't believe it all, I'm quite flexible." ”

The students laughed dumbly, and Qiao Nan said again: "Zhao Leilei, if you really go to the battlefield, there is no more obvious target than you, I have been thinking since just now, how can your golden hair be disguised so that it will not be discovered?"

The students laughed again and pounded the table, Zhao Leilei sneered, but he didn't give up: "Then I want to be admitted to your university, how many points do I get?"

This time Qiao Nan didn't answer, his head teacher preemptively replied: "Zhao Leilei, you first think about how to get rid of the penultimate first, and then discuss this issue!"

Zhao Leilei was completely wilted, and sat on the chair with his head drooped. The other classmates were still asking questions, and he didn't know why, the last sentence Qiao Nan said always echoed in his mind-

I hope that even in this era, we secondary school students can still have a little feeling, fall in love with this land, and even protect this land, although they have not regretted their deaths.

This sentence really became more and more handsome the more he thought about it, even after a long time, it still echoed in his ears.

[I've been busy with the final paper recently, and the update time is not fixed, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry~~]
