After Tao Tao registered, the training began immediately.

Compared with many students from other places, children like Taotao, who live at home and eat at home, are obviously much more convenient.

Training is like when a university has just started and a freshman has just registered, and the first thing is military training.

In order to strengthen the self-control ability of the trainees and improve the overall quality of the trainees, the training center also specially invited instructors from the army to conduct special training for Taotao's children.

On this day, when all the students were dressed in camouflage uniforms and lined up on the playground, the instructors and teachers arrived.

The teacher's surname is Zhang, and she is a short and fat woman about forty years old, who is responsible for everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is equivalent to a counselor.

And the instructor is a young man who looks to be in his twenties, one meter seven or eight tall, and fair-skinned.

He is not only responsible for everyone's military training, but also responsible for everyone's study and attendance, which is equivalent to everyone's class teacher.

However, when the young instructor finished introducing himself on the podium, Tao Tao looked at the instructor in front of him and felt unusually familiar.

Hearing the instructor introduce himself and say that his surname was Cui, Taotao quickly thought of his playmate Cui Shaojun in the village when he was a child.

When Taotao was more than two years old, he followed Dongmei back to the village from Xinjiang.

He lived with his mother until he was six years old, and then followed his father and mother from his hometown to the second base of Longdong Drill.

Therefore, Taotao's playmates in the village are all memories of him when he was six years old.

Although Tao Tao has a good memory, he even remembers the first time he took off his open crotch pants and put them on.

However, facing Instructor Cui in front of him, he was not very sure, whether he was his childhood playmate Cui Shaojun?

When I was a child, Taotao's family was in the middle of the village, and Cui Shaojun's family was in the west of the village.

Every time Taotao goes to the entrance of the village, he has to pass by Cui Shaojun's house.

In his memory, Cui Shaojun is taller than himself, whiter than himself, and more powerful than himself.

Although Tao Tao only went to preschool for a month in the primary school in his hometown village, he clearly remembered that every morning, he went to school with Cui Shaojun, Hai Gang, and three friends.

When everyone got to know each other in the classroom, Instructor Cui took everyone to the playground for training.

Instructor Cui speaks standard Mandarin.

Although he was born as a soldier, his skin was not tanned at all.

The more Tao Tao looked at Instructor Cui, the more he felt that he was Cui Shaojun.

Tao Tao wanted to go up and talk, but he felt that Cui Shaojun in front of him had a much more mature appearance and personality than his peers.

He spoke sonorously and powerfully, and his posture was straight and straight, not at all like them, hairy boys of about twenty-three years old.

Just when Taotao hesitated, Instructor Cui seemed to have discovered Taotao.

His eyes were sharp, and he had been staring at Tao Tao for the whole class, as if he felt déjà vu.

During the break, when Taotao was sitting on the concrete floor to rest, Instructor Cui took the initiative to come over.

Tao Tao looked at Instructor Cui who came over, but he didn't dare to recognize him.

Because he and the students around him were in awe of Instructor Cui, and he felt as if he was many years older than everyone.

After Instructor Cui approached Taotao, he pretended to kick his ass and said, "Cui Tao, you pretend not to know me?"

Hearing this, Tao Tao immediately stood up from the concrete floor.

He looked at Instructor Cui and said, "Shaojun, are you really Shaojun?"

Tao Tao has called Cui Shaojun's nickname since he was a child, and it seems that he has forgotten his big name.

Instructor Cui looked at Tao Tao and laughed, revealing a row of neat and white teeth.

He said, "Taotao, why did you come here for training?"

Tao Tao looked at Instructor Cui's smile and immediately determined that Instructor Cui in front of him was Cui Shaojun.

Because his smile when he was a child was like this, his mouth was split to both sides, and the gums on it would all be exposed.

Tao Tao excitedly shook Instructor Cui's hand and said, "Shaojun, I am a child of this unit, I just participated in the double election meeting not long ago and reported for drilling, so I came here for training."

But I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

Instructor Cui and Tao Tao hugged each other.

He said excitedly: "Oh, I haven't seen you for more than ten years?"

Tao Tao calculated, "Yes, when I left the village, I was just over six years old.

However, we are now twenty-three years old, and we haven't seen each other in seventeen years. ”

Instructor Cui recalled when he was a child and said, "Yes, I haven't seen you for seventeen years, you are basically the same as when you were a child, nothing has changed." ”

Tao Tao also looked at Instructor Cui and said, "Shaojun, you haven't changed much, although you are only twenty-three years old......

Before Tao Tao could speak, Instructor Cui interrupted Tao Tao's words.

He suddenly raised his voice and said, "I am three years older than you, I was six years old when you left the village, and I am already nine years old. ”

After speaking, Instructor Cui gave Taotao a hard look.

Apparently, Instructor Choi concealed his age.

And when the surrounding students heard that Instructor Cui was three years older than everyone, they didn't have any suspicions.

Because he looks very mature, he doesn't look like a twenty-three-year-old hairy boy at all, but like a twenty-eight or nine-year-old adult who has already started a family.

Tao Tao understood what Instructor Cui meant, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, the instructor is three years older than me, by the way, why did you come here for training?"

Instructor Cui told Tao Tao, saying: "Before me, there was an instructor Sun who was training here, not long ago he went to the front line and became an oil worker, there is a shortage of people here, I and he are both fellow villagers and good friends, so he recommended me over." ”

Hearing that Instructor Cui came over like this, Tao Tao looked at Instructor Cui with envy and said, "Shaojun, I really envy you, now you have even started to be an instructor for us." ”

Instructor Cui said: "What do you envy, I am a zero-hour worker, according to the number of days, I get a salary, where is like you, they are all oil children, and they can become regular workers when they return to the unit." ”

Tao Tao heard it from Instructor Cui's mouth, and he was envious of himself.

He couldn't understand why he envied himself.

To be honest, Tao Tao has never felt that there is any glory in his work.

He just couldn't find a regular, organized, stable job, so he returned to the unit and prepared to go up the mountain to work as an oil worker.

Tao Tao told Instructor Cui, saying: "Oil workers are not good at all, except for a stable job and a little more salary, they have worked hard all their lives." ”

Although Instructor Cui has just started to be an instructor for everyone, he has been here for a long time before this.

Therefore, he still knows a lot about the unit.

He said: "I would rather work hard and the environment is harsh, but as long as I can have a unit, I can rely on it, and I can be stable, at least, I feel at ease." ”

As he spoke, Instructor Cui took Taotao's hand, and the two came to a secluded place.

Instructor Cui told Tao Tao that he was about to be discharged from the army.

In the past, regressive soldiers could get a formal job.

But now it doesn't work, leaving the army is equivalent to losing your job, and you have to find a job on your own.

Therefore, Instructor Cui hopes that Taotao's father, Wei Guo, can help, find a relationship, get himself to work in the oil field, and sign a contract for a regular job.

Tao Tao didn't know how to answer Instructor Cui, because his father was just an ordinary worker, and he didn't have so much power to help Shaojun enter this unit, and he could sign a contract for a regular worker.

Tao Tao told Shaojun that when he returned to the unit, he also went through twists and turns, and finally signed the contract.

Hearing this, Shaojun was silent.

He looked at the training center and wondered if he could use it as a springboard to have a formal, organized, and stable job in the process of serving as an instructor in just a few months. [.]
