The recruits all got into the car, Ying Xiang and the old people stood in the crowd on the side of the road and waited, Fu Lanhua lay on the pole and kept waving to them.

As a mother, Lu Chunji could no longer hold back the true feelings for her daughter, and tears fell down like a drop. Fu Liguo, who was on the side, hurriedly stopped and said, "What happened? If you don't let you come, you have to come, how will she feel when she is seen by the orchid? Wipe away your tears. ”

Lu Chunji tried her best to control her emotions, but today's tears were not obedient, she tried a few times but still couldn't suppress it, so she simply took a sideways look, and she hid behind Fu Liguo.

The tarpaulin on the roof of the car was slowly pulled up, Fu Lanhua took one last look at Ying Xiang and the old people, they were still waving to her, but she didn't find her mother, she knew that her mother must have deliberately hidden, and a sour tear came out of her heart.

With the roar of motors and the rolling of wheels, cars carrying young people who were about to enlist in the army rushed through the streets and downtown areas, with the enthusiasm and longing of their relatives, and quickly galloped away outside the city.

Fu Lanhua and the other six girls sat alone in a car, although they lived in the same county, they were not familiar with each other, and no one knew where the destination was? Don't even know what your future holds? What does tomorrow and the future hold for them? So none of them were willing to speak, and a few pairs of eyes looked at the dust flying behind the car in confusion.

Fu Lanhua looked at the dazed faces of several girls, one by one there were still tears on their faces, and their eyelashes were still moist, she understood the girls' mood very well at the moment, just now, wasn't she the same? She forced a laugh and said, "Sisters, let's all get to know each other." Let me introduce myself first, my name is Fu Lanhua, and I am from Hongwei Village. ”

"I know you, you're from Class 25, right?" A girl with two big braids interjected: "My name is Ye Hong, and I am from Class 19. ”

"You are?"

"She is the daughter of Deputy Secretary Ye of our county." Another girl with short hair was the first to reply, looking a little younger and speaking with a thick southern accent.

Fu Lanhua looked at her and asked, "Then, what is your name?" We're not locals, are we? ”

Ye Hong replied for her: "She is the daughter of Secretary Xiong of our county, hehe, her name is Xiong Yan." ”

"Huh? Bear-like? How to call it that? Hahaha......" One girl cried out in surprise and burst out laughing.

"Hahaha......" The whole car burst into laughter.

Xiong Yan's face turned red, and she hurriedly corrected her unhappily: "Why do your ears grow?" My name is Xiong Yan, and I am red and gorgeous, not what I look like. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I misheard. Don't be angry little sister. Just now, the girl hurriedly apologized to Xiong Yan, and introduced herself: "My name is Cheng Lin, I am nineteen years old this year, and I just came to the People's Armed Forces Department of Liyang County with my father this year, and my hometown is from Baoding City." ”

Ye Hong asked: "Oh, it turns out that you are the daughter of the Minister Cheng of the County Armed Forces Department who has just been transferred?" ”

Cheng Lin smiled slightly, and she replied humorously: "It's exactly below." ”

At first glance, this Cheng Lin is a very bold girl, with a red face, revealing a bit of immature elegance, and always with a natural smile on her face.

Fu Lanhua seemed to be talking to herself and blurted out: "Oh, it turns out ...... You are all the children of high-ranking cadres in our county. ”

Fu Lanhua clearly remembers that Deputy Secretary Ye and Secretary Xiong just mentioned, they were all the leaders of the so-called army when they were "supporting the left" of the army, and they were transferred from the army to work in Liyang County in the later period of the "support for the left". Alas, it's all in the past, what are you talking about it!

The other three girls introduced themselves one after another, everyone knew each other, a row of ages, twenty-year-old Fu Lanhua was older than several girls, so they all called her "Sister Orchid"; Xiong Yan is the youngest, she just turned 16 this year, so they all call her "Sister Xiaoyan". Sure enough, Fu Lanhua said to everyone like an eldest sister: "When I get to the army in the future, I hope that the sisters will take care of each other, and I also hope that the sisters will work together and make progress together, so as to fight for our Liyang people and win glory." Good no good? ”

"That's a great point! We listen to your Sister Orchid! Several girls replied in unison.

Then there was another burst of laughter......

The car sped quickly on the road, and the wind outside the carport was "whooshing", and the tarpaulin was shaking in bursts.

Inside the canopy, the girls laughed so passionately that they almost forgot the biting cold outside.

After a while, Cheng Lin proposed, "Let's sing a song." ”

"Singing? What song? Ye Hong asked.

Cheng Lin said: "Sing the army song, the march of the People's Liberation Army." ”

A girl said, "I'm not familiar with this song yet." ”

Fu Lanhua said: "Then sing a campus song." ”

"Campus morning, will this song be?"

"Okay, we've just learned."

Cheng Lin said: "I'll start first, follow the familiar path on campus, and prepare to sing!" ”

"Walking along the familiar path of the campus, I came to read under the tree in the early morning, and the rising sun shone on my face, and also on the small tree beside me. Walking along the familiar path of the campus, I came to read under the tree in the early morning, and the rising sun shone on my face, and also on the small tree next to me. Dear partner dear little tree, share the sunshine and rain with me, let us remember this good time, until it grows into a towering tree, let us remember this good time......"

The car had been driving for a long time, and it was already noon, the car stopped, and the voice of a female soldier came from the cab in front of it: "Girls, get out of the car and move." Lunch is coming soon, and the meal time is about ten minutes, so everyone should go to the toilet and wash up quickly! ”

It was a makeshift military station with hot water, toilets and resting places. The recruits were busy for a while, Fu Lanhua and a few girls were sitting side by side and wanted to take a break, at this time, I saw a few male soldiers carrying a thermos bucket over, everyone quickly took out the tableware from the bag, only to hear an order, I saw a female soldier wearing four snuggles coming to the front, she waved at a few girls and ordered: "You few, stand up." ”

The girls quickly lined up, although they had taken physical education classes in school and had lined up, but they still looked sparse and uneven, and what was even more ridiculous was that they wore loose and fat winter uniforms, and their movements and walks always seemed so procrastinating and not flexible and beautiful.

They were taken to a small green van, and after the female soldier told them all to get into the van, the car set off and drove to their unknown destination. They know that there is a rule in discipline, what should not be asked cannot be asked, only the word obedience. Therefore, none of them dared to ask where they were going.

The van drove for about four or five hours, and drove into a gate, there were soldiers standing guard on both sides of the gate, the gate post did not inquire, the car directly entered the compound, you can see through the window, the compound is full of soldiers in military uniforms, and they also walked through a neat line, they shouted in their mouths: "One, two, three, four!" ”。 Afterwards, a sonorous and powerful military song march was sung.

At this time, their hearts were both happy and envious and a little nervous, including Fu Lanhua, several girls had never seen or entered the barracks, let alone seen so many soldiers.

The car did not stop, and drove deep into the courtyard, along the flat asphalt road, through rows of neat barracks, directly to the end of the courtyard, and finally this is the training place of the troops. In the back barracks, there are already some female recruits who have just enlisted in the army, and they will study and train here with a few girls, which is estimated to be two months, and they will be trained to become a truly qualified modern female soldier.

By the time everything was settled, it was already late in the evening, and the female soldier who led the group read out to her a few rules of discipline, including work and rest time. After a whole day in the car, after dinner, the superiors arranged for them to move freely, and the girls washed their faces, and washed their feet. Fu Lanhua is like several girls, after they do these things, the first thing they do is to sit at the head of the bed and write the first letter to their families to arrive at the army, and report to their families that they are safe.

Other girls only wrote one letter to their parents and family, but Fu Orchid had to write three letters, the first letter was written to her parents, this letter was written relatively simply, that is, to tell her parents some feelings on the road and greetings to her parents and younger brother. Tell your parents that everything is okay and reassuring them.

The second letter was written for Ying Xiang's parents, and it was also some words of peace and greetings.

This third letter, of course, was written to Ying Xiang himself. When writing this letter, Fu Lanhua thought about it for a long time, she didn't know whether she should send it to her home and to Ying Xiang's troops? Because she didn't know whether Ying Xiang was at home or back in the army at this time. She looked at the other sisters who were still concentrating on writing their letters, so she quietly took out Ying Xiang's photo, took a sneak look, pointed her finger at the photo and asked, "Where are you?" Want me? A peachy smile appeared on his face.

She also decided to send the letter to Ying Xiang's troops so that he could always see it. "Dear Xiang...... "No, it's too numb;" Comrade Ying Xiang ......" is not very appropriate, and it seems a bit out-of-the-box; "Brother Ying Xiang...... "Why do I still call him that?" What should I call him? Simply, I'll call him Ying Xiang!

The letter reads: How is Ying Xiang doing lately? I've arrived safely at the unit's training base with a few sisters, don't read it.

After hesitating for a long time, I decided to write to you and send it to your troops, I believe you will definitely see it. Although you and I are now separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, since I chose to join the army, I have made up my mind to go on firmly and never regret it!

After you joined the army and left, I often remembered the time I spent with you, and I learned a lot, at least I learned to be strong and independent, because you and I fell in love with military songs and the sacred title of soldiers! Today, although I am not a real soldier, I will work hard, fight, and fight!

Maybe in the future we will become a military family, of course, since our parents, it has been a real military family, let us work together to fly together and spread our wings in the vast sky of the army!

In the eyes of outsiders, how glorious a soldier is, and behind this glory, only we know that maybe in the future there will be many nights of insomnia and even tears because of missing our family......

I don't know what tasks will await us tomorrow, and the next training may be very difficult, but please rest assured, no matter how difficult, bumpy, and tortuous the road ahead, I will be able to persevere! Believe me, I will be worthy of the title of soldier! There will be no shame on the families of the fathers and soldiers!

Only now do I understand, why are there so many girls who like the military? I'm afraid that girls like you may pursue more, don't be sorry for the beloved girls you meet, because they are willing to love soldiers, just like me......

Okay, that's it for the sake of time, and I'll talk about it later. Please take care. Sincerely, Regards! Pay orchids. A certain day, a certain month, and a certain year.

Fu Lanhua reread it the most, and felt that the last one had a sour taste. She shook her head and smiled weirdly, folded the letter and put it in the envelope, and sent it out when she had time to do so......
