He couldn't stop laughing, but Cheng Zhichao didn't laugh, what Xiaolang said was actually not too detailed, but it was enough to make him feel shocked. (Please remember that when we were in the headquarters before, he boasted that he knew the army so well that he could not understand it anymore, and from time to time compared with those ordinary young people recruited from the local area, he was often full of superiority, although others did not know, but it was undeniable that Young Master Cheng still cared a lot about his signboard of the gate tiger.

It is precisely because of this that after hearing Xiao Lang introduce the old squad leader at this time, he will feel shocked. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have dreamed that there really would be such a person who silently dedicated his life in the army, and in the end he had no name or profit, but he had no complaints.

Xiaolang felt funny because he thought that after the son of the squad leader graduated from the military academy in the future, he would most likely be assigned to this unit, and then the son would be an officer and his father would be a soldier. Even if his father is a veteran, no matter how old his qualifications are, he is still a soldier and is always under the management of an officer.

He was not the only one, the whole army knew that there were many people in the situation of their father and son, and they all pulled their necks and waited for that day. In addition to not having much respect for the old squad leader in this regard, in other aspects, Xiao Lang really does not have ordinary respect for the old squad leader who has dedicated himself to the army for more than 20 years. laughed for a while, and when he turned his head, he found that Cheng Zhichao was sitting there with a strange expression leaning on his back and not laughing, so he stopped laughing.

This guy seems to be very addicted to smoking, and after talking for a long time, he has smoked two cigarettes, and at this time he took out the third cigarette and put it in his mouth: "You don't talk or laugh, what are you thinking there?" ”

"I didn't think about anything, I just felt that the old squad leader was really great."

"Yes, we also feel that the old squad leader is great." Xiaolang smoked two cigarettes in a row, the addiction had almost passed, and the third cigarette was a lot more delicate, sighed, and said: "At the beginning, the old squad leader was really angry, and the daughter-in-law urged him to go home and plant twice. Hey, you know what 'farming' means, right? ”

Cheng Zhichao's face flushed, he and Fang Xiaochen had been together for more than a year, and of course he understood what he meant by "farming". It's just that when he and Fang Xiaochen were together, Fang Xiaochen's safety work was quite in place, although Cheng Zhichao rarely used a bag to pack his "seeds", every time after the incident, Fang Xiaochen would also find a way to deal with the aftermath in the first time. So for more than a year, Cheng Zhichao and Fang Xiaochen have "sown" countless times, but they have not sprouted once.

He knew that ordinary soldiers were basically not allowed to have their families with the army, and the son of the squad leader Fu had already gone to a military school, and he would have to be at least twenty years old. Now he is a fifth-level non-commissioned officer, and it is estimated that he may not even be a non-commissioned officer at that time. After the reform of the military service system, it was much easier to sign non-commissioned officers as compulsory soldiers, and the requirements for military age were also lowered. In the early days, if a conscripted soldier wanted to sign a volunteer soldier, he had to serve in the army for at least six years, and he could only sign a first-class professional sergeant in the sixth year, which was also called "volunteer artillery" within the army.

Except for the Army, which is three years of military service, both the Air Force and the Navy are four years of military service. In the fourth year of the army, it was beyond the time limit of service, and some units with a small number of volunteers could be seen everywhere in those years carrying a thick bar and three thin bars on their shoulders, and the sergeant conscripts who had served beyond the time limit. YZUU POINT

Even if the service is overdue, it may not be possible to transfer to a sergeant, and there is also a problem of quotas, if there is a way, the quota is not very difficult to get. However, in some units, if the door is not very hard, the volunteer list is really not easy to get. Many veterans were stuck on this form and had to be demobilized home with backpacks after two years of overdue service.

Of course, not all volunteer lists are obtained through the back door. In Cheng Zhichao's view, since the position of squad leader Fu is extremely important, it is natural that his table should be done by the army, which can be regarded as an encouragement and reward for an old scalper like him, and it is also to tie him down. But that's all the troops can do, and it's impossible to help him solve the problems at home. So as Xiaolang said, if the squad leader Fu wants to "plant" a man and a half girl with his daughter-in-law, the only way is to visit relatives and go home. ,

Fortunately, the troops are not unkind in this regard, and under normal circumstances, family leave is given for a full month, so as to save the trouble of "calculating the days", anyway, one month is enough.

What made him curious was another question: "Squad leader, you said that the squad leader went back twice to plant his son?" ”

"Well, twice, for two months. During the two months of his absence, the leaders of our regiment were in a hurry. Anxious and worried, for fear that when he was away, something would happen in the radar station, and the substitute fiddling would not understand. In addition to being anxious and worried, I am also afraid, seeing that you are a very smart guy, do you dare to guess, what are the leaders of our regiment afraid of? ”

Cheng Zhichao didn't know how old this Xiaolang squad leader was, but the fetal hair on this guy's mouth had not faded, and he was definitely not as old as himself. Being called "guy" by a guy who is younger than himself is basically not much in Cheng Zhichao's life for more than 20 years. But he is now a veteran, and he is a rookie, and he has to bow his head under the low eaves. Cheng Zhichao, who has always understood the rules very well, just felt a trace of unhappiness in his heart, and immediately forced himself to dispel the unhappy thoughts. He thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head: "I can't guess." ”

"You didn't guess seriously at first glance, guess carefully."

"If you can't guess this thing, you can't guess it, so what if I don't take it seriously?" Cheng Zhichao sniffed. The nose he sucked was completely subconscious, but in Xiao Lang's eyes, this action was very subtle, and he couldn't help but snort and said: "The veterans all say that the Northeast soldiers are oily, I didn't believe it before, but now it seems that it's really like that, at least you, the rookie, are quite slippery." ”

Cheng Zhichao's forehead showed black silk, and said with a wry smile: "Squad leader, you have wronged me, oily is just my appearance, in fact, my heart is still relatively honest." The person who is smoother than me is another person, surnamed Zhao, called Zhao Jiyong, and I am not in the same class. ”

He just casually mentioned Zhao Jiyong's name, but he didn't expect Xiaolang to know, nodded heavily, and said: "Zhao Jiyong, I have the impression that he is not a tall and thin recruit like a bamboo pole?" ”

Cheng Zhi was surprised: "You also know him?" ”

"This guy went to the cooking class two days ago to help cook, and as soon as he entered the operation room, his eyes kept spinning, and he didn't look like an honest master, you two together?"

"Well, from a small family home to a big one, it's considered small. (Read the novel to the leaf Yo ~ Yo .YZuU.)"

"That's not like that, you're a little more stable than him in comparison, but it's also slippery. I heard that this kid was a thorn in the thorn in their class, and their squad leader was so angry that he almost didn't vomit blood, and he didn't understand it after cleaning it up several times. ”

Speaking of which, or saying that he is slippery, Cheng Zhichao suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and suddenly heard that the second half of his speech was about some of Zhao Jiyong's actions in the class, and he didn't seem to be too happy with the recruit squad leader, and he couldn't help but feel nervous. I think he hasn't seen Zhao Jiyong for a few days, and he really doesn't know much about his situation, if it's really like what Xiaolang said, I'm afraid it's really not easy. With his understanding of Zhao Jiyong, this guy may really be able to do naughty things. It seems that one day I have to find a chance to talk to him, no matter what, I must get through the two years of soldiers peacefully, and after two years, I will directly retire from the army and go home, and continue to go to school.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Xiao Lang couldn't help frowning: "What? Say you don't like to hear it? Don't even say anything? ”

"No, no." Cheng Zhichao hurriedly distinguished: "I was thinking just now that the squad leader said that I was slippery, I must have something slippery, and I am doing a review." ”

"Is this still a review?" Xiao Lang sat up straight, pointed to Cheng Zhichao's nose and said, "I have already guessed why the regiment leader is afraid, but he is sloppy with me there, isn't this slippery?" ”

Cheng Zhichao shouted that he was wronged: "Squad leader, wronged, I really didn't guess it." ”

Xiao Lang saw that he was serious, and he was suspicious in his heart: "Can't really guess? ”

"I can't guess, or you can give me a heads-up."

"Hey, hey, hey." Xiao Lang suddenly laughed strangely: "Since you can't guess, I'll give you a wake-up call, you think more about that aspect." ”

"That aspect? Where? Cheng Zhichao asked confusedly.

"You look clever, why are you so stupid?" Xiao Lang's brows furrowed even more: "That's that aspect, that aspect of farming." ”,

"Oh-" Cheng Zhichao suddenly realized, and suddenly seemed to understand: "You mean to say that the regiment leader is afraid that he will go home for the second time and the land will not be able to be planted again?" ”

"You're smart." Xiaolang laughed loudly: "If you want to say that this old payment is really enough, the first time I went home for a month, I don't know what I did, in short, it didn't take long after I came back to write back to my daughter-in-law, saying that there was no movement in my belly, no way, so I had to ask for leave for the second time." This is a major life event, and no matter how unhappy the leaders of the army are, they can only give him another month of leave. However, he also gave Lao Fu a preventive injection in advance, if his wife's belly has not moved this time, this is fake, and it really can't be given again. ”

Cheng Zhichao also laughed: "Fortunately, squad leader Fu is more competitive this time. ”

"Yes, the second time I was quite competitive, not only planted the land, but also a son. After the daughter-in-law wrote a letter to tell Lao Fu the news of giving birth to a son, according to the veteran who was an apprentice at the radar station with Lao Fu at that time, Lao Fu was excited, and ran around the small empty field in front of the radar station for three or four hundred laps, and finally stopped when he was really tired, lying on the ground and sticking out his tongue and panting. ”

Cheng Zhichao's heart couldn't help but move, and suddenly remembered that once Shan Weiqing chatted with him, and mentioned that after Cheng Weiguo knew the news of his son's birth, it was like being beaten with chicken blood. At that time, Cheng Weiguo was still working in the field army, and after receiving the letter, he immediately got a car and ran for a day and a half before returning home. After arriving home, he pounced on the small bed where Cheng Zhichao was like a hungry tiger, not only scared his son into crying, but even Shan Weiqing was startled by him. As a result of his unauthorized departure from his post, he was severely criticized at the party committee and reported to the whole army. But according to Cheng Weiguo, let alone criticize, the whole army reported that at that time, he was an official to the end, and he didn't care as long as he could see his son.

It seems that this Lao Fu really has the same thing in love with his son, but Lao Fu's son is stronger than himself. Cheng Weiguo's love was only for a while, and after Cheng Zhichao remembered, the impression of the old man in his mind was that he had a black face every day, pinching the armed belt all the time, and beating him up if he was not honest.

In my mind, like a movie, the little by little scenes of my childhood floated in front of me, and for a while, Cheng Zhichao had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what it was like. Xiao Lang knew that he was overturning the river and the sea at this time, and he couldn't understand what kind of fatherly love Cheng Weiguo and Zhao Dongjin, the two old men, had such strict requirements for himself and Zhao Jiyong, so he took two puffs of the third cigarette in his hand, threw it into a stream behind him, and said with a smile: "In short, the daughter-in-law gave birth to a son, and Lao Fu was so happy that he forgot everything, and even the quota of volunteers for the fourth consecutive year was occupied by others. ”

"Huh?" Cheng Zhichao was taken aback: "Squad leader, you wait first, the quota of the fourth year of volunteers is occupied by others?" What's going on? ”

Xiao Lang took a good look at him: "You've been here for so long, haven't you ever heard of him?" ”

"No, we train all day long, in addition to training, we have to train all day long, practice physical fitness in the queue, and when we go back to the dormitory, we have to learn the rules, that is, before going to bed, we have to do a hundred push-ups and a hundred sit-ups, how can we have the leisure to inquire about the gossip news of the old squad leaders? Seriously, if I hadn't gone up the mountain with you today, I wouldn't have known what was on this mountain. ”

Xiao Lang also came from the recruits, and after thinking about what he said carefully, he sighed and said, "In short, this matter is a shame for our regiment. Wrong, not for our regiment, but for our brigade, which was still a division at that time, it was a shame. Normally, few people talk about it, but there is no impermeable wall under the sky, and sooner or later you will know, and it doesn't hurt to sue you now. ”

Cheng Zhichao threw the basket aside, moved a stone and sat side by side with him, pricking up his ears, for fear of missing a word.

Xiao Lang habitually put his hand into his coat pocket again, touched it for a long time, and only found an empty cigarette case. Cheng Zhichao hurriedly reached into his arms, took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it over: "Squad leader, smoke this." ”

Xiaolang was stunned: "Don't you smoke?" Why do you still have cigarettes in your pocket? ”

"Don't you also say that our Northeast soldiers are slippery, although I am not slippery by nature, but I must be prepared for what I should prepare. I bought this cigarette for our squad leader, and we are going to find an opportunity to give it to him. ”,

Xiao Lang laughed, looked at the cigarette brand, and praised again and again: "Good cigarettes, this box of cigarettes will have to kill most of your allowance for half a month, right?" ”

"It's okay, it's not too expensive, and you can afford it."

"You bought this cigarette for your squad leader, isn't it a little bad for me to smoke it?" Although he said this, Xiao Lang's eyes kept staring at the cigarette case, as if he could tear the wrapping paper at any time, and he had no intention of returning the cigarette.

"It's okay, I still have two boxes there, and I brought out this box of cigarettes today just to get close to the comrades in the cooking class."

"Well, you are a soldier, I am optimistic about you." When Xiao Lang heard him say this, he was no longer polite, tore off the wrapping paper, took out one and lit it, took a deep breath, and nodded again and again: "Don't say it, these cigarettes for dozens of yuan are different from cigarettes for a few dollars, and the feeling of smoking them is different." If you want me to say, this cigarette for me to smoke is really a bit of a waste. ”

While saying that the cigarette was ruined by his own cigarette, he put the box of cigarettes in his trouser pocket. Stretched out his hand and patted it twice outside his pocket, and looked at Cheng Zhichao's eyes a lot more kindly: "To say that Lao Fu's life is really hard enough, after the first few years to the end of the year, the superiors have his volunteer list every year." But every year it makes people with hard relationships squeezed. ”

"Four years in a row?"

"If it's squeezed for four years in a row, then it's fine." Xiao Lang stretched out his right index finger and hit a hook: "A total of nine years, plus the years before the deadline, it is a full fifteen years, and Lao Fu can be regarded as a volunteer." ”

Cheng Zhichao couldn't help but exclaim. When he grew up in the headquarters, he had never heard of the saying that he had been a compulsory soldier for 15 years before becoming a volunteer, and he could never imagine what it was like for a 15-year veteran to go home as a volunteer after seeing that everyone who joined the army two years later than him was discharged home as a volunteer, and then looked back at the rank on his shoulders but was still a sergeant.

"How can this be? Didn't the old squad leader reflect to the above? ”

"It's reflected, of course it's reflected, but what's the use? The regiment and division are very happy, this time this year is the organization sorry for him, and I will definitely get him a watch next year. But after the coming year, the watch came and was topped again. ”

"If I don't solve the problem in the regiment and division, I will go to the higher levels to sue the group army, and then to the military region, and if it doesn't work, the Central Military Commission will not be so bearish." Cheng Zhichao became excited, stood up and kept dancing his fists.

"It would be nice if everyone was like you, to be honest, if I were replaced, I wouldn't be able to stand this idleness, even if I didn't report to the group army, the military region, the Central Military Commission or something, after a few years, I would have to go home with a backpack and demobilization. But squad leader Fu is not that kind of person, after coming back, the regiment and the battalion said a few good words, and the company commander and instructor looked for it a few more times, and it was another year, and it was fifteen years, fifteen years, I don't know what you think, anyway, I dare not imagine. ”。
