Chapter 2: Enlistment

What kind of political trial will it take in the next few days, and the officer's home visit or something. Seeing that it is the end of November, it is said that a group of recruits have already left the direction of Tibet.

Long Yi was lying motionless on the sofa, the TV was on but he didn't have the heart to watch it at all, and it didn't seem to matter what was going on on TV. Long Yi felt a trace of uneasiness, why can't the list come down yet? There is only one dragon left in a huge family. Originally, I should have gone to college at this age, but unfortunately God was like this, I was not admitted to the ideal university, and my life was different if I was so short by more than ten points, and there was also a university that sent an admission letter, and Long Yi gave up.

His thoughts turned out to be a little uncontrollable, and Long Yi thought of some things when he was a child: he won awards every year in elementary school, and he was also in the top five in junior high school, and his obsession with online games and learning fell like that in high school. Long Yi looked at the ajar door of the living room and felt a little strange, he still remembered the things in elementary school clearly, and the family was there at that time. has grandparents, parents, and a younger brother who is three years younger, and his childhood is still relatively happy. When I was in junior high school, my grandparents passed away one after another, leaving behind this old villa, my parents first engaged in construction with others and later formed a company, and my younger brother also went to high school in the provincial capital......

Be sure to leave this home, I don't want to live like this anymore!

"Didi"

There were two motorcycle horns outside the gate, and Long Yi immediately came to the spirit, it was Yang Bing! Ryuichi knew that the only person who honked the horn like that was his cousin. After Yang Bing entered the house, he told Long Yi that Yang Bing's father had come back from out of town and asked Long Yi to go to his house for dinner.

Long Yi said, "What kind of food are you eating?" How can you have the heart to eat? ”

Yang Bing nodded, took out his mobile phone to look at the time and said, "It's only three o'clock?" Why don't we go fishing? What if I went to serve as a soldier this time and couldn't come back for many years! ”

The Long family's boat has not moved for at least three years, and has been locked to a large willow tree more than ten meters high, and the iron chain has rusted. The shores of Longhu Lake are all fishermen, who have been fishing for a living for generations, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they have changed to fish farming, and every family has several cages and work hard. Fishermen are basically dark, Long Yi remembered that the physics teacher said that because fishermen go to feed the fish every day, row boats back and forth to send fish and grass fodder or something, there is a sun in the sky, and the lake reflects a sun, so it is tanned.

Longhu has always been a paradise in Yang Bing's memory, fishing, picking lotus flowers, picking edges and corners, picking lotus flowers, swimming ...... I heard the older generation say that in the 80s of the last century, the entire Longhu Lake dried up, and the fish trucks drove directly to the lake!

Yang Bing and Long Yi didn't speak, in fact, they didn't want to mention enlistment. Long Yi sat on the bow of the boat and played with his mobile phone, and Yang Bing used a bamboo pole more than ten meters long to support the boat at the stern. When he arrived at the isolated island in the middle of the lake, Long Yi threw a cigarette at Yang Bing, then tied the boat to a willow tree with the thickness of a small bowl, and then threw the earthworm into a fishing hook and threw it away.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, I ran out of cigarettes. Yang Bing pulled up the net bag containing the fish, looked at it and said, "Brother, don't say that you caught a lot of fish today!" ”

In the afterglow of the sunset, the two did not speak, and the dragon took off his coat and put on a black vest to expose his well-developed tendon flesh, and supported the boat hard.

Yang Bing: "Brother! Good muscles! Long smiled, and his mood didn't seem so bad.

At the beginning of December, another batch of recruits was sent to Hebei. Long Yi and Yang Bing were still anxious, watching the troop convoy drive past the door, the gongs and drums were noisy, the recruits were wearing big red flowers, and the army green recruit training uniforms looked even more vigorous.

Yang Bing also began to lose his breath and said, "What is there to be proud of?" I've heard that soldiers have to climb a metre deep mud pond every day. ”

Long Yi didn't speak, thinking that this is a typical can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour!

Another week passed, and Long Yi sat like pins and needles, worried about being brushed off. It's not a bad thing to brush it down, but why is it so upset? Long Yi was afraid that others would talk about it, so he simply went to live at his aunt's house, which was also a hundred meters away from the road, and it was clear that he couldn't see it.

Finally, Long Yi received a call from his uncle Long Xiaoyun, saying that the Ministry of Armed Forces had informed him that he would have to leave at ten o'clock in the morning on the 11th, and that he would be sent to the provincial capital by the county car and then transferred to the train. In normal times, Long Yi didn't believe it, because his uncle often joked, and some didn't talk nonsense, but what Long Xiaoyun said was true.

Xinxin fisherman's family, five tables are open, and they are all some of the closest people. On the left of Long Yi is Yang Bing, on the right is Yu Bo, classmates in junior high school and high school, the relationship has always been ambiguous, and in the second year of high school, Yu Bo chased Long Yi, and later prepared for the college entrance examination and faded. To Yang Bing's left is Yang Jingrong, a high school classmate who is studying at a university in Beijing. On the right side of the aftermath is Zhang Hao, who studied at the University of Finance and Economics in Shanghai, and a few other friends who often play together.

Yang Jingrong picked up the wine glass and stood up and said, "Oops...... There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed! Brother Long and Brother Bing will go to the barracks tomorrow, what do you say? It's all in the wine, have a nice trip! With that, he drank it all, and then pushed his gold-rimmed glasses with his left hand.

Long Yi, Yang Bing, Jing Rong, Yang Bing sat down after drinking, Zhang Hao said to himself: "Sister-in-law Long has nothing to say on this occasion?" He squinted at the aftermath, and the corners of his mouth showed an expression of control. Tears flashed in the corners of Yu Bo's eyes, and next to him was the boy who couldn't chase him, and Long Yi handed Yu Bo a tissue.

Yu Bo covered his nose and blew twice behind everyone's back, and after adjusting his mood slightly, he brushed the hair in front of him, stood up and said with a puff in his chest: "Respect to our future general Long Shao, everything is good!" After drinking it all, a few die-hard friends next to him muttered, "Sister-in-law Long is mighty!" ”

Yu Bo poured the cup full of wine and said to Yang Bing, "Brother Bing! Come...... Let's go one, everything is good! ”

The atmosphere during the banquet was unusually good, and the relatives all toasted and blessed Long Yi and Yang Bing......

It was already dark, and friends and relatives were gone. In the living room, Long Yi opened and counted the red envelopes on the table one by one, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy walked into the living room with a plate of washed fruit, stretched out his hand and said while putting the fruit: "Don't move...... Grab the money! Grab the money! ”

Long Yi smiled: "Take it!" Mosquito! Isn't it just money! ”

The boy nicknamed Mosquito is Long Yi's younger brother Long Wen, who looks like Long Yi, who is one size smaller, if there is any difference, it is that he is shorter, and he has the same curly hair, but his eyes are bright, and he touches his chin twice with his left hand next to Long Yi and says: "My brother is really rich!" Tyrant, can we be friends? Hahaha! ”

The next day, Yang Bing came early in the morning, and as soon as he stepped through the door, he asked, "Auntie, where is my cousin?" ”

Bai Dongmei replied: "How do you look like a soldier when you are in a hurry?" Your brother is still asleep! Upstairs and call him down for breakfast! ”

Yang Bing shook his handsome long hair and asked, "How does my cousin look like a soldier?" This point is up to the chief! ”

Watching Yang Bing go upstairs, Long Xiaopeng, who was sitting on the side, said: "Xiaoice is so humorous!" Hey! ”

Bai Dongmei: "My son is like Lao Tzu, if you don't look at his father, he looks like an old naughty boy who giggles all day long......"

After breakfast, Yang Binglong and his family got into an SUV and drove towards the county seat. Long Xiaopeng said while driving: "Take your two sons to get a haircut first!" To be a soldier is to have the appearance of a soldier. ”

Yang Binglong, who was sitting in the back row, glanced at each other's long hair and smiled helplessly.

On the basketball court of the county armed forces, more than a dozen recruits stood in two rows. Minister Lu personally taught them how to make backpacks, and the recruits all put on their training uniforms, and all the clothes they wore in the morning were thrown aside, and their families were busy cleaning up. Long Yi turned his head to look at his mother who was packing up his clothes, and tears fell at once, although Long Yi has rarely gone home since junior high school, and has been boarding in school for five or six years, but I don't know when I will come back.

Long Wen saw his brother crying and ran over to hug Long Yi and cried a mess. The family members who were sending off their relatives also began to sob. Which one is not a heart baby? Everyone's emotions were ignited at once, and there were two female family members crying......

At this time, Yang Bing's father and mother also arrived, Yang Bing's mother helped sort out the clothes on the ground, Yang Bing's father stood in front of Yang Bing and patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Xiaoice!" Go to the army to work hard, and communicate with your brother if you have any questions. ”

Yang Bing said: "Dad! How did you guys get here? Didn't you say you couldn't come? ”

"Silly son! Can't I deliver it? You didn't give it away with phone bills! Yang Yu'an pretended to be humorous, but his eyes were still moist, looking at his father, who usually laughed and laughed, his eyes were red, and tears came out of Yang Bing's eyes, and he couldn't speak anymore......

With the continuous sound of firecrackers, the bus carrying the recruits slowly drove out of the gate of the armed forces. From that minute on, Long Yi and Yang Bing will start a different journey. The recruits looked at their relatives who were getting more and more blurry outside the window, how reluctant they were, just as their parents were reluctant to give up on them.

More than two hours later, the bus arrived at the provincial railway station. Hundreds of recruits in training uniforms had gathered in the waiting room, and the faces of the recruits seemed to be a little depressed, most of them were leaving alone for the first time, and everything was so unfamiliar. Long Yi threw the camouflage bag onto the seat in the waiting room, and watched Minister Lu and the officer who picked up the recruits handing over the roster.

Ten minutes later, Minister Lu walked up to Long Yi and said goodbye to the recruits. He smiled and said, "Brothers...... I can only send it here, goodbye, I hope you will make a contribution in the army. ”

Several recruits said goodbye to Minister Lu, who had been working in the county armed forces department since he was transferred to Tibet, and the soldiers sent away were also thousands, but his eyes were moist again, and as a lieutenant-turned-veteran, of course he knew the special significance of the barracks to the soldiers. Minister Lu repeatedly told Long Yi and Yang Bing to strengthen their studies in the army, although they were not admitted to the university of their minds, they could still be admitted to the military academy, and everything was possible when they were young......

Long Yi hugged Minister Lu, and Minister Lu hugged Yang Bing. In the eyes of this veteran, the recruit in front of him is just a child, and the process of becoming a real soldier is still a long, long way......
