Those who stand on the same starting line, those who can be far ahead and reach the finish line are happy and lucky, but those who fail to reach the finish line should also be given a minimum of respect!

In mid-October, Wang Linlin, along with dozens of young recruits, underwent a physical examination at the town hospital.

In late October, Wang Linlin underwent a second physical examination at the county armed forces department. The number of people who participated in this physical examination was very large, and the expressions of each of them were mostly serious, because this was the last medical examination before enlistment, and the doctors who participated in the physical examination were all drawn from the county hospital, so it was also the strictest.

Wang Linlin's physical examination passed all the way, although this was expected, but he was still very happy. Because he saw many young people who failed to pass the medical examination: they either bowed their heads and wept, or they howled and cried......

In the meantime, Wang Forest saw Xiao Li at the village sales point, and the other party's expression was listless. Wang Linlin asked with concern: "What's the matter? Are you failing the physical examination?"

The other party lowered his head and said "um", and then asked, "How are you?"

"I'm pretty much passing at the moment. What about Xiao Zhang?" Wang Linlin was afraid of stimulating the other party, so he deliberately concealed his joy and asked softly.

"Hey, don't mention it. That kid was worse than me, and he was eliminated in the town. The other party replied with a wry smile.

"Brother, don't be sad, not this year, come back next year!" Wang Linlin reassured the other party.

After hearing this, Xiao Li's eyes flashed with a bright light, his expression suddenly improved, and he said sincerely: "Wang Linlin, first of all, congratulations! Thank you for the reminder just now: Not this year, I'll come back next year!"

After Xiao Li finished speaking, he said that his family was worried and anxious, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Those who pass the physical examination during the day eat and stay at the guest house of the county people's armed forces department at night, because the next morning, there is one final hurdle - blood testing.

The distance between the county people's armed forces department and the auto parts factory is very close, and it is more than ten minutes away. Wang Forest was bored after dinner, so he returned to the auto parts factory, because he missed Sister Ni Mei and Xiaoding Lu a little.

Everyone was very happy to meet, and Sister Ni Mei asked her son with a smile: "Uncle is leaving when he is a soldier, do you say okay?"

The naughty little guy shook his head and said, "Good~~ but not good." ”

Xiao Dinglu's cute expression and funny appearance made the two adults laugh.

Ni Mei asked, "Why is that?"

"Because my uncle is away as a soldier, he can't come and play with me often, but when my uncle arrives in the army, he can get me a real gun. The little one's answer was very serious.

A four or five-year-old child has such a clever answer, which is really happy and sad......

Sister Ni Mei's home is undoubtedly a warm and happy paradise for Wang Linlin! Whether she is sitting or standing, speaking, or listening...... Everything is so natural and happy!

Your home is happy and warm, but here is the home of your heart: quiet, free, happy and yearning!

Because Wang Linlin and Ni Mei each had the intention of parting, the two chatted with each other, but Xiao Dinglu slept by himself.

After settling her son, Sister Ni Mei asked in a low voice, "Forest, are you really leaving this time?"

"Well, almost. ”

"Is there anything I need to do?"

"It's just that I can't bear you and Ding Lu, as well as grandma. After answering softly, Wang Linlin's emotions were a little out of control.

Ni Mei stood up, stroked his head, and said faintly: "Silly brother, we are reluctant to let you go, but this is your own choice, and you must insist on it if you have chosen!"

The customs of the hometown: Married young women generally cannot touch the head of a man who has just come of age with their hands, which means that it is somewhat unlucky and unlucky. However, today, Wang Forest feels full of happiness!

Wang Linlin just wanted to speak, but his face was moist, it turned out to be Sister Ni Mei's tears, dripping down......

There are too many partings in the journey of life, setting off with dreams and hopes, and every breakup is for the next better reunion!

At the end of the blood draw early on the second morning, Minister Jiao instructed everyone: Don't go far in the near future, it is estimated that the notice will be sent to everyone soon.

Wang Shulin received a notice of enlistment on 5 November; on 7 November, he changed his clothes at the town's armed forces department; on 9 November, he held a farewell party at the auto parts factory; and at 10 a.m. on 10 November, he gathered at the county armed forces headquarters to prepare for departure.

When he knew that he was a ground support unit of the Air Force and that his place of service was in Fujian Province, Wang Linlin was inexplicably excited: because Guangdong and Fujian were the forefront of the country's reform and opening up at that time, and they were the holy places that many aspiring young people yearn for, and they were also the places he had been fascinated for a long time!

From the moment he received the enlistment notice, Wang Linlin's whole portrait was clockwork, and he was completely busy. At that time, communication and transportation were not convenient, and I saw him riding a dilapidated bicycle every day, coming here and there, people and cars were flying.

In those days, the family was also lively, and there were many people who came to congratulate her, especially Aunt Hu was particularly interesting - she held two square cakes with red cloth in both hands, and put a wooden shengzi for measuring rice on top of the cake, and congratulated loudly: "I wish the forest a high step by step in the future!"

After dinner on the ninth day, the whole family chatted together and said goodbye to Wang Linlin.

The mother said affectionately: "Son, it is an honorable thing for you to join the army. Your grandfather was a martyr, your father was a soldier, and now you have also become a soldier, and our family is a glorious family! I hope that after you join the army, you will never feel homesick, and at the same time, you must respect the leadership and unite with your comrades-in-arms; you must work hard to win glory for yourself and your family!"

Father Lang Lang said: "Son, you have reached the age of adulthood and have reached the age of sensibility; this time to join the army is your own choice, and our whole family supports it! However, when you enter the army, you must not be afraid of hardships, and you must say less and do more...... I hope that after the training of the army, you can become a qualified soldier and a man!"

Sister Wang Yaqin said softly: "Brother, my parents have talked about it, I just hope you don't forget to study and write more letters to your family." ”

Wang Bing smiled and said: "Brother, you go to the army to work hard, and I will go in a few years." Everyone laughed, and his mother patted him on the spot.

The old lady took the eldest grandson's hand and said with a loving face: "My eldest grandson is very good, and he will definitely fight for his anger, and he will definitely not disgrace your grandfather and father!" I hope that my eldest grandson can take good care of himself......

Wang Forest rushed to comfort: "Don't worry, grandma, you can also take care of yourself!"

The old lady laughed and said loudly, "Yes, yes! Grandma must live well and wait for my eldest grandson to come back!"

Finally, the old lady stroked the head of her eldest grandson and said, "I don't feel very good these days, so I won't be in a hurry to see you off tomorrow morning;

When he left home the next morning, Wang Shulin quietly came to his grandmother's bedroom, called softly twice and did not respond, so he withdrew.

As grandma's most beloved person, Wang Linlin certainly knows her thoughts best: grandma is afraid that when she leaves, everyone will be sad and cry - the eldest grandson joining the army is a happy event, and tears are unlucky, and it can't spoil the good things and mood of the eldest grandson!

At about nine o'clock in the morning of the 10th, Wang Linlin, escorted by his father and sister, arrived at the county armed forces department. As soon as I entered the gate, I saw Minister Jiao standing there, and the two old comrades-in-arms were affectionate when they met.

Suddenly, Wang Linlin saw two familiar figures; it turned out to be his high school classmates, Luo Zongsheng and Xiang Fei; the three of them cheered when they saw each other, and they were even more happy to learn that everyone was in the same unit again!

At 10 o'clock in the morning, all the newly recruited soldiers gathered: everyone was arranged according to their height, and then they were divided into classes; every ten people were in a squad, and the first person was appointed as a temporary squad leader, and the last one was a deputy squad leader; Wang Linlin was lucky to become the leader of the ninth squad, and his heart was very excited and proud.

After the shift is over, the leader of the People's Armed Forces Department will make a speech to the temporary operatives, and then the cadres receiving the troops will announce the discipline and precautions along the way.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, all the new soldiers boarded the buses and prepared to leave. The car is moving slowly, and the people seeing it off are also tending to follow suit; the people in the car are leaning on the windows, and the people outside the car are waving their hands; there are even more tearful hopes and choked up instructions......

Wang Linlin looked out of the car window: his father, sister, Deputy Director Ni, Minister Jiao......

Later, Sister Ni Mei said: She also came that day, but she was just watching from a distance, and she didn't dare to come closer, for fear that they would see each other sad and cry......

His father was a strong veteran, but when the car was about to leave his sight, Wang Forest suddenly noticed that tears burst out of the corners of his father's eyes......

The car was slackening, gradually moving away from home. The atmosphere in the car was rather dreary, and there was almost no one talking, as if everyone was thinking about something...... Maybe you are still immersed in the scene of parting, feeling reluctant to your hometown and relatives, or maybe you are looking forward to a better tomorrow and future!

After a four-day and four-night journey, Wang Linlin and his new comrades-in-arms arrived safely at the railway station in Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, at about 6 a.m. on the 14th.
