Chapter 35 Gathering

People have emotions, but only interactive emotions are the most beautiful and best.

The camp belongs to the military zone. Wang Linlin and his comrades-in-arms have been in the camp for more than a month, except for the leaders of the troops, who often come here to inspect and guide the work, it is basically difficult to see other strangers, especially ordinary people.

One Sunday morning, young men and women appeared around the camp, and as time went on, more and more young people gathered, and in addition to the front of the barracks, the hills and training grounds on the left and right, and every other corner, there were youthful figures and singing and laughter.

The comrades-in-arms began to be very curious, and there were also a few brave comrades-in-arms who would chat with each other...... But after a while, the horn of assembly sounded over the camp.

The head of the camp told everyone: It is the teachers and students of Fuzhou Normal University who went up the mountain today. In the morning, the other party will play or do activities on their own, and in the afternoon they will have a party with us; I hope everyone will actively prepare and participate, and after lunch, please report the programs that each class and each platoon will participate in......

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Linlin and his comrades-in-arms, under the command of the leader on duty, sang the song of the queue and entered the party site, the side of the training ground near the restaurant.

First of all, on behalf of the troops, the head of the camp thanked the teachers and students of the school for their enthusiasm and concern; then the leaders of the school, on behalf of the school's party committee, youth league committee, and student union, expressed their love for the troops and their respect for their comrades-in-arms! Then, the celebration activities officially began.

On one side of the party are the elite and college students who are the envy of the times, and on the other side are the people who are praised by the society as the loveliest people and serve as soldiers. The two sides were enthusiastic and energetic in the party...... They performed sketches, recitations, songs, dances, and musical instruments.

Wang Linlin's seventh class originally reported two programs: first, Chen Jianhua sang a song "Olive Tree" on the guitar. I saw that his face was slightly solemn and melancholy, his fingers gently plucked between the strings, the strings were crisp and smooth, and the singing voice was deep and charming. Then, Wang Linlin and Luo Zongsheng sang a hometown folk song "Husband and Wife Return Home" in male and female voices; the two played well, and everyone applauded warmly.

The festival program is constantly updated and staged, and everyone's mood is getting better and better. Especially Liu Haisheng was even more happy to dance.

When the host asked everyone, "Who will perform in the next show?"

I only heard Liu Haisheng shouting loudly: "Please Chen Jialin's 'old master', improvise a poem!"

But when he saw the "old master", he looked at Liu Haisheng angrily, and shrank back again and again: "No, no! I'm not prepared to ......."

The comrades-in-arms around him coaxed, regardless of the three, seven, twenty-one, and pushed the "old master" to the center of the field. In the face of everyone's enthusiasm and expectations, he couldn't refuse, so he said, "Please let me think for two or three minutes." ”

Improvising poetry on the spot is not an easy task. Everyone was curious and waited with bated breath......

At this time, the "old master" bowed his head and pondered, or touched his chin with his hand, or grabbed the top of his head...... After a while, he shook his body and stood solemnly, shook his head and shook his tail and said:

"Thousands of miles away from home to send the military staff,

The bloody boy is ambitious.

Learn your skills bit by bit,

Defend the family and the country to show their true colors. ”

Seeing everyone's applause and applause, the "old master" said modestly: "It's ugly, thank you!"

Who knows, Liu Haisheng stood up again and shouted: "Okay, good poem, another poem!"

Everyone echoed the voice. The "old master" had no intention of fighting and withdrew straight to his seat.

Because the comrades-in-arms began to be unable to let go, and the preparation was a little hasty, the basic advantage of the performance in the first half was on the side of Fuzhou Normal School. In the second half, the tide was reversed, and the head of the camp used the strength of the troops: singing and chorus.

The chorus is an expression of collective strength, majestic, and the voice is impassioned and passionate. The comrades-in-arms sang army songs such as "I am a soldier", "Song of comrades-in-arms", and "Return from Target Shooting".

The first thing to do is to be the leader of the song: there must be passion, there must be a good voice, and more importantly, the voice must be loud and confident! Second, it is everyone's passionate cooperation.

The commonly used words are-

01. Leader: "Was the performance just now good?"

The same answer: "Yes!"

02. Leader asked: "Do you want another one?"

The same answer: "Yes!"

03. At the end of the performance, the leader said, "Everyone is welcome!"

Then they all brushed and applauded.

04. Leader shouts: "Whoever is who, come one!"

Qi shouted: "Whoever is who, come one!"

05. Leader shouted: "12345!"

Qi shouted: "We have waited so hard!"

……

People who have not experienced singing will not be able to feel the warm atmosphere at all. Wang Linlin at the scene was deeply touched: he saw the people singing the song, and his tone was excited; the comrades-in-arms who echoed him all shouted loudly; that kind of atmosphere and scene directly pushed the celebration to a climax; and also left an indelible joyful impression in everyone's hearts! It is also a testimony of youth and enthusiasm!

The party lasted for more than two hours, and everyone was excited and happy. At the end of the party, all the staff sang a song "Tomorrow Will Be Better".

The founding of New China benefited from the correct leadership of the party and state leaders, and it is even more inseparable from the vigorous support of the broad masses of the people!

The army and the people are the foundation of the country, and they are also deeply affectionate!

Fujian is the second hometown of Wang Linlin's military career. In the past few years of living in Fujian, he has deeply realized the love and respect of the Fujian government and people for the soldiers!

On New Year's Day and Spring Festival during the training period, the local government where the camp is located sent a lot of meat, vegetables, melons and fruits to the camp. Among them, melon seeds and oranges alone, everyone was given a whole basin, and then they ate for a long time. In addition, local schools and units often come to the army to hold social gatherings, where everyone sings, dances, and performs all kinds of programs; the atmosphere is warm and cheerful, and the feeling of fish and water is evident to the fullest!

The beautiful emotions of human beings require recognition and interaction. In order to thank the local government and the people, the army often organizes manpower and material resources to support local construction.

When he was a recruit, the Fuzhou Canning Factory asked for help from the army due to the tight production tasks. The head of the camp selected dozens of fighters and went to help for dozens of days.

Because Wang Forest was unable to participate in this event at that time, he did not know the specific situation. However, he listened to the descriptions of his comrades-in-arms: Although the work of helping is hard, it is much easier than the training of the troops, and the leaders and workers of the canning factory are warm and friendly to the comrades-in-arms, especially the food arrangements are even more abundant. After the comrades-in-arms helped, the leaders of the canning factory came to the camp to thank them and sent pennants and many condolences.

In mid-December, Wang Linlin and his comrades-in-arms participated in the work of cleaning up the silt on the lake surface of the West Lake Park in Fuzhou City under the platoon of the unit chief.

For five consecutive days, Wang Linlin and his comrades-in-arms took a car after breakfast every day. When we set off, everyone was in good spirits, carrying their satchels, towels and tea jars...... When they returned to camp around 5 p.m., they were exhausted from winter and had their faces covered in mud......

The gate of West Lake Park is somewhat solemn and quaint, made of large wood, and painted with a layer of red lacquer. When you enter the park gate, you will be greeted by a walkway that leads to the depths of the park. The road is lined with rows of long-whiskered willows, and a few steps away is the Lake District.

The lake area is large, about dozens of acres. By this time, the lake had already been drained, and the silt was cleared from all sides to the middle. There were many people who participated, in addition to Wang Linlin and his comrades-in-arms, there were also comrades-in-arms from fraternal units, and there seemed to be many young people who looked like students......

Everyone is shoulder-to-shoulder, hand-lifted, or pushed with a cart...... In this scene, Wang Forest couldn't help but think of the situation when people in his hometown built water conservancy. When the reservoir in his hometown was being built, people rammed earth to protect the dam and dredged it; people everywhere were crowded with people, and they were in full swing; they saw colorful flags fluttering all around, and the loudspeakers were wafting with passionate revolutionary songs and sonorous words of encouragement......

In the dredging work, Wang Linlin and his comrades-in-arms worked hard and seriously. At that time, he was envious of the fact that there were several excavators and dump forklifts opposite. Because of the high efficiency of machinery, it will not only save manpower and material resources, but also improve efficiency and progress.

On the dam ridge in the lake area, the park staff has prepared several large insulated buckets. When Wang Shulin and his comrades-in-arms rested, they would pour a cup of tea from their own tea jar and drink, but the strong fragrance of jasmine was very thirst-quenching and comfortable.

At noon, everyone has an hour to eat and rest. Each person is given a bag of bread and a bottle of soda, and the bread is boxy, thin, and slightly salty, with about 20 slices per pack.

During the years in the army, interactive activities such as condolences and celebrations were commonplace. Wang Forest was particularly moved by the fact that the company he later belonged to was more than 1,600 meters above sea level, and the living conditions of the villagers there were extremely difficult. The villagers once hunted a wild boar on the mountain, but they were reluctant to eat it themselves, so they gave the whole boar to the company.

There is another topic that I have to say, that is, the governments at all levels in Fujian Province attach special importance to the issue of resettling demobilized military cadres! In many other parts of the country, demobilized military cadres will retain their benefits and demote them; only Fujian Province can basically achieve reciprocity and matching with each other in the placement of demobilized military cadres; therefore, the demobilized military cadres here are happy!

At the same time, the Fujian Provincial Government and people very much welcome demobilized military cadres from other countries! Actively encourage them to work in Fujian and settle down in Fujian. Among Wang Linlin's old comrades-in-arms, many eventually chose to stay in the local area to work and live.

Fujian is the most beautiful second hometown!
