In the early morning of winter in Fuzhou, the weather is slightly cool. On the platform of the train, one can see the eye-catching welcome signs and banners, as well as the lively scene of gongs and drums, and then the shuttle bus and the endless flow of people...... In the face of all this, Wang Forest and his new comrades-in-arms were full of joy and expectation.

The 138 comrades-in-arms who came from the ancient city were arranged in several different units. Under the guidance of the leaders of the receiving troops, everyone boarded their respective greeting vehicles one by one.

Wang Linlin's unit was relatively numerous, and everyone got on two large trucks. The car slowly drove out of the train station and gradually entered the downtown area of Fuzhou, with many high-rise buildings and neon flashes along the way...... Everyone is excited and novel, and this is also the normal psychological reaction of every young person from a small town.

The car slowly drove away from the city, and about half an hour later, the car climbed a mountain in the suburbs. First of all, you will see a wide playground, lined with two neat rows of barracks, and many people lined up to greet you on the roadside. At that time, there are also people who are walking, chatting, or washing...... Seeing the arrival of their new comrades-in-arms, they either pointed at them or talked and laughed.

A cart and a cart of people were left behind, and the car in which Wang Forest was riding, continued to move on.

At the top of the mountain in early winter, there are no tall trees, and the road is mostly lined with high yellow weeds and a few scattered buildings. The car drove over the road mixed with loess and stones, and heard the sound of "squeaking and jumping", as well as the dust raised behind the car......

About ten minutes or so, Wang Forest saw the barracks in front of him, and there were still many welcoming crowds. The new comrades-in-arms stepped out of the car one by one amid the sound of welcome, firecrackers, and gongs and drums.

The leaders in charge of receiving the troops lined up to take the roll call, and then forwarded the personnel report to the head of the camp, who first gave a welcome speech, and then divided the team by name, and the leaders of each coach and squad took it back to their residences.

The barracks was a long two-story building, with about 10 rooms on each floor, a row of pools with faucets in front of the building, and a brick and wood bunk on the front and back of the entrance, connected by new straw mats......

There were a few new comrades-in-arms who came early, and when they saw that there were new people coming, they were eager to help. After settling down their backpacks and luggage, Wang Linlin and the others hurriedly washed up, and then, under the leadership of their respective squad leaders, they went to the restaurant to eat the first meal of the barracks - shredded meat noodles.

After the meal, Wang Linlin and his new comrades-in-arms took a short rest, and the squad leader began to teach them the standards and requirements of housekeeping: all items must be unified and must be placed in accordance with the standards; the beds should be neat and tidy, and each quilt should be folded into the shape of tofu blocks...... This is the uniformity of the troops, and it is also the beauty of "points" and "lines".

On the first day, everyone mainly got acquainted with other comrades-in-arms and the surrounding environment, and the other was to organize personal belongings and study housekeeping. By the evening of 14 November, the last of the new comrades in the camp had arrived.

On the 15th, all the new comrades-in-arms began to be re-examined by the regimental health team, and heard that those who failed to pass would have to be returned to the locality, but the good news was that all of them were qualified. However, what happened next was a bit interesting: the head of the camp, in accordance with the various needs of collective hygiene and training, ordered all the new fighters to shave their heads uniformly under the leadership of the squad leaders. Although most of the comrades-in-arms can accept shaving their heads, there are also a few comrades-in-arms who are not happy, and even have a little emotion, so they cry, laugh, cry, and intercede...... To this day, the scene was festive and lively.

Because of the arrival of new comrades-in-arms one after another, the camp cafeteria often held a meeting to welcome them, so the food in those days was very rich. Everyone chatted in private, their hearts were beautiful, and they were deeply proud of their enlistment.

In the first few days after he arrived at the unit, Wang Forest was in a very good mood; in particular, when the coach squad leader chose himself to be the deputy squad leader of his class, he felt particularly excited and proud! At that moment, he admonished himself: We must train hard, win glory for our families, fight for ourselves, and strive to become a qualified soldier as soon as possible! I will write down my youth without regrets and leave behind a colorful military life!

The army is not only a big school, but also a big revolutionary family from all corners of the world. Here, everyone is not only comrades-in-arms with the same goal, but also brothers who are as affectionate as the sea.

The new comrades-in-arms came from many different parts of the country, and the head of the camp arranged two days for everyone to get acquainted with each other, and at the same time, they learned to tidy up the housekeeping, the main task was to fold the quilt.

Wang Forest belongs to the third platoon and seven classes, and there are eleven people in the class: one veteran squad leader is the coach, and the other ten are new comrades-in-arms. It's a brand new combat collective, and here's a brief introduction to each one -

01. Zhang Liangchun, the squad leader, is of medium stature and has a serious expression. He was a young officer who had just graduated from a military academy and was temporarily assigned to recruit training. He usually cares very much about the lives of his new comrades, but he is very strict in training.

02. Chen Jianhua, weak and delicate, usually doesn't talk much. Because he loved music, he brought a guitar with him when he arrived in the army. During holidays, parties and entertainment activities, he often plays and sings.

03. Mao Xinmin, tall and bloated. Because he was often slow to react in training, or his movements were not up to standard, he was often scolded by the squad leader.

However, there are two sides to everything: Mao Xinmin's whole body sweats like rain soon after every training; first his face sweats, and then his clothes are soaked; instructors and unit leaders who come to inspect occasionally see his performance are mostly praised, and they emphasize that he is an example for everyone to follow!

Mao Xinmin is a recent high school graduate, he is very confident in himself, and he has the dream of applying for a military school!

04. Chen Jialin, thin and capable, loves ancient poetry, and calls himself "Old Master". His comrades-in-arms often laughed at him for being pedantic, but he was still obsessed and looked like an old pedant.

Because Wang Linlin also liked poetry a little, the "old master" regarded him as a confidant and showed him his two thick personal works......

05. Liu Haisheng, the youngest of his comrades-in-arms. He is always a mischievous and mischievous person, always indifferent, and his face is always full of weirdness and evil smiles whenever he hurts others or does something bad. Because he often made mistakes, the squad leader, platoon leader and camp leader had a headache for him, so every small meeting of the conference was his special session: either criticized by the leader, or self-examined. Moreover, Wang Linlin still remembers the classic words of his examination - "...... I promise not to make a mistake next time, and if I do it again: I am like a piece of meat on the board, everyone can chop it however they want!"

06. Lin Kaiwei, tall, dark, and thin are everyone's first impression of him. He is a simple and honest person, especially when he laughs, very much like a mature big child. However, his addiction to smoking was so great that Wang Linlin once asked him, "When did you start smoking?"

The other person replied: "In our country, boys start smoking at a very young age, because the customs of our hometown say: a man who does not smoke is not a man!"

Lin Kaiwei also has a habit: he does not like to wear underwear when he sleeps, but sleeps naked. The naughty Liu Haisheng was the first to find out about this situation, and the whole class quickly found out. The squad leader asked him, "Why?"

"It's a habit that I have at home because I can't sleep with clothes on. ”

"I can understand that you used to have this habit at home, but now that you are in the big family of the army, you should wear underwear to sleep, so that you can develop good living habits!"

Lin Kaiwei nodded after hearing this, indicating that he was willing to correct it. Later, he often slept naked, but everyone got used to it.

07. Wu Xinguo, full of pimples, upright and a little irritable, often happy and angry emotions always hang on his face. Later, I learned that he was the only son in the family, and his father died early when he was a child; but children of the same age always bullied him, so it was common for them to quarrel and fight with each other; his mother was a rural private teacher, and she loved him very much; whenever he mentioned his mother, he always burst into tears......

08. Cui Zhonghua, white and chubby, very cute. He takes great care of his body, and his pockets and mouth are full of vitamins and vitamin C.

His comrades-in-arms always said that Cui Zhonghua had the smell of milk on his body, and he often either touched his hands or touched his face; whenever this happened, he would sometimes be very angry, but it would be good in the blink of an eye.

09. Ma Xiaobing, slender figure, very measured and assertive in life and work, and because of his insightful conversation, he has a close relationship with Wang Linlin.

010. Luo Zongsheng, with a lively and cheerful personality, is both a classmate and a comrade-in-arms with Wang Linlin, both of whom are happy and pleasant.

011. Wang Forest is the deputy squad leader of the class, so he should naturally set an example in all aspects, and at the same time, he also has to assist the squad leader in handling many trivial matters between the comrades in the class. So he has more contact and understanding with everyone in the class, and he also trusts and likes each other, and he is also a comrade-in-arms and a brother!
