Chapter 61: Empathy
So far, Yang Weifan's complaints have not yet been finished, and he is full of gloom in the army. And the deeper reasons for these things are even more unimaginable to Hong Yanwu.
"Also, maybe you also think that it's a good thing that I have a father like this, that I can enlist in the army, and that my future will follow the safe. But you don't know, this taste of the future is not comfortable. ”
"First of all, I have loved painting since I was a child, and my personal ambition has always been to go to an art school and become a professional painter. Even if you can't go to college or become a famous artist, you can become an art teacher. But in my family, this is not allowed. ”
"My father thought his children should be soldiers. And my mother, she was even more enthusiastic about it than my father. Because she only has one child, she wants me to have a brighter future than my brothers and sisters, so that she can only raise her head in this family and have something to rely on in her old age. ”
"Our people talk about filial piety first. Well, for the sake of my mother, I am willing to give up my ideals. So I came, enlisted in my father's old army. But what I didn't expect was that this place would be calculated and excluded. ”
"I started out at the Naval Academy, and I was supposed to be a member of the boarding unit after graduation. But I never expected that my older brothers and sisters didn't seem to want to see me graduate smoothly. I don't know who made a fool of me behind my back, and instructed one of my classmates to deliberately get me drunk outside of school, causing me to be expelled from school for not returning all night. ”
"When my mother found out, she transferred me to the grassroots army. Unexpectedly, this time it was even worse. Because the story of my dismissal from the naval unit spread not long after, and the grassroots leaders did not know exactly where I came from, they all regarded me as a backward model in the backdoor soldiers, and they were unwilling to ask for me in their hearts. Despite my efforts, they have prejudices and don't like me. Usually deliberately cold treatment, without guidance on everything, and just hold me back from committing crimes, a little problem will make the teacher move, and I can't wait to get me somewhere else. ”
"At first, I was not convinced, and I deliberately reflected it upwards for this kind of discrimination. But I didn't expect that the company I was staying in was a place where Shandong people were rubbing together, and from the instructor to the company commander, platoon leader, and squad leader, they were all fellow villagers. I was directly criticized and saw what it means to protect officials and officials. ”
"Actually, it's good if only the cadres said this to me, but the ordinary soldiers also had rejection feelings towards me. There is one situation that you may not know is that in the army, the rural soldiers and the urban soldiers are extremely incompatible, and there is a huge disparity in strength. Just because there is a difference between urban and rural areas, urban soldiers are regarded as 'outliers' among the troops with a preponderance in the number of rural soldiers. If you want to be promoted to work and join the party, the urban soldiers must first hold their tails between their legs, and then work harder and more actively than the rural soldiers. But even so, because of different living habits, such as urban soldiers washing their faces with soap, loving to wash clothes, and being picky about eating, they often get the sarcasm of 'young master'. ”
"My company, including me, has no more than twenty urban soldiers, and it belongs to the hardest hit area of this situation. I was deliberately taken care of by the leader again, and I felt that I couldn't stay at all after a long time. My mother once told me that as long as I got through the new army period, I would be fine. I thought about it, so let's just hide. He took the initiative to express his willingness to do the dirtiest and worst work to raise pigs for the troops. The picture is that there is no need to go out to exercise, run, and no one is pointing fingers. This is exactly what the leaders of our company wanted, and they immediately approved it. ”
"That's how I started raising pigs. I'm genuinely happy and have a very down-to-earth life. But I didn't expect my mother's words to mean something else. As soon as he was recruited, he was able to do it. The deputy commander of the military region was entrusted by my mother to leave the company for me and asked to see me by name. When he saw my situation, he was naturally furious, and directly punished my company leaders. Then immediately arrange for me to join the party and be promoted. But because of this, my reputation in the army is also completely stinky. ”
"First, this incident has made many grassroots cadres hate me. In their eyes, joining the army is a very honorable thing, and no matter how many outstanding young people can't compete for this opportunity, it is even more difficult to get promoted. The ease with which I achieved it all made them feel very unbalanced. Honestly, I feel unequal, but that's not something I can decide. This is by no means a disease-free moan, I am really forced. ”
"Second, that is, all the people in our company, after knowing that I have a relationship with the above, think that I have used the black hand and retaliate against the company leader. Behind the scenes, there were constant rumors and rumors, saying that I was a person with a deep city, and I deliberately set up a trap to let the company leaders get in. As a result, even the city soldiers who started to be nice to me began to avoid me. ”
"In a fit of rage, I simply broke the jar and broke it, so I went to the deputy commander again and begged him to give me a comfortable place to stay. Just like that, the deputy commander asked me to come to the shore service unit of the 'Old Iron Mountain' to look at the warehouse. The lighthouse on the mountain is in charge of the company commander, and the responsibilities under the mountain are not important, and they are all under my control. I, the deputy company commander, to put it bluntly, actually put up a name, in order to suppress the platoon commanders under him from being angry. In essence, it is still a platoon-level cadre who takes fifty-two yuan. ”
"But you also saw it just now, like that Cui Tiezhu, because he is from Shandong, he still has a very good opinion of me, and most of them think that I squeezed his promotion opportunity. So since I came here, he's been giving me no less than ten small reports. It's a pity that he doesn't understand that I came here to be self-matching, and to be comfortable. Although I don't do business, I only get drunk twice a day, but no one can take me seriously. And I found that the less motivated I was, the better my brothers and sisters treated me, and they sent me food, drink, clothing, and money. How good it is to be a cadre's son, what do you ......want?"
Speaking of this, Yang Weifan became excited, and his voice was raised a little higher, as if he wanted to take the opportunity to vent all the depression in his heart.
"I've got it all done. You can all help me analyze and analyze now, who should I be? Cadres and children? No, no one in the compound cares for me, and my brothers and sisters also regard me as a thorn in their side. Hutong kids? No, those buddies in the past have become strangers when they see me. What about the coastal defense soldiers? Both the urban and rural soldiers avoided me! Not to mention that even if I was here as a drunken cat and watched the warehouse, I would not be able to defend my family and the country! What I did not expect was that even you two fellow villagers in the capital disliked me...... Why am I so disgusting? I'm not a thing, am I? I'm nothing! I shouldn't live ......."
Listening to these emotional words, the other four people present felt no good in their hearts.
This kid is so pathetic! so pitiful that no one can tell how pitiful he is.
Especially Hong Yanwu, from a certain point of view, Yang Weifan is so similar to him.
This is not to say that the specific life experiences are similar. It's the helplessness of being ignored by others, and the loneliness of not being understood! Even from the bottom of my heart, I try to anesthetize my emptiness and confusion!
This gave him an experience of "empathy" at once, and it also made it difficult for him to maintain the calm of the spectators.
He picked up the bottle and poured half a jar of "coo dong", and sympathy and understanding were released in an instant. The ice of preconceptions and precautions is beginning to melt.
"Dude, it's because I'm too limited in looking at people! Can I take back what I just said? I apologized to you for this wine, and I did it all, okay?"
Yang Weifan grabbed Hong Yanwu's hand to pour wine with drunkenness. "Don't, you don't like me?"
"You're not bored. Now, I've got to say, you're a worthy person. The question is, I'm a 'Black Five', are you still willing to be friends with me?"
Yang Weifan finally turned his anger into joy, laughed, and picked up the wine bottle.
"What kind of black and red, uncle doesn't care! Okay, I won't say anything, just for the sake of your sincere words, treat me as a friend! Drink, I'll accompany you! Not only will these two bottles of wine be drunk today, but I also have 'Bincheng Lao Bai' in my car, no one should pretend to be a bear!"
When Chen Liquan, the "general" and the "dead corpse" saw it, their faces were relieved, and they all raised the wine jar one after another.
The "general" also joked arrogantly, "Drink! When you get drunk, you will rest! How to repay your friends, we 'Hai Bangzi' know in our hearts, as long as 'Yang Zi' can still get up and go back to the army." ”
Yang Weifan said coaxingly, "Don't worry." It doesn't matter if you can't get up, who will be sober to help bring a letter when the time comes, just say that the uncle has drunk too much, and he won't go back today, what's wrong?"
Hong Yanwu smiled.
"Isn't you just a platoon leader?"
