Chapter 014: You're about to have a lifetime experience
"I'm tired, yes, I'm tired, I can tell you're tired, I understand it very well."
Li Shuai's voice was very deep, like a good friend talking to each other, looking at Hang Weiwei's side face with deep eyes, and then crossed over to look up at the starry sky.
"The weather is good tonight, you see, a lot of stars, the moonlight is good, it's a good night fight...... Well, it's a very comfortable night. ”
Hang turned his head slightly sideways and looked at Li Shuai, finally had some reaction, bit his lip and made up his mind to say, "Instructor, we're not officially soldiers now, are we?" Can I apply to go home? I don't want to be a soldier anymore. ”
She was mentally prepared to wait for the instructor to go crazy, and what if she was given another training, her heart was already dead anyway.
"Why?" Li Shuai's tone was still calm, without the slightest anger.
Hang Weiwei was ready, and when the instructor was furious, he slammed back vigorously, put out all the reasons he thought were reasonable, and vomited well, the draft had been ready, but what he never expected was that the instructor was not only not angry but became more and more gentle. This made her at a loss.
"I ......" Hang was slightly overwhelmed.
Li Shuai said slowly, "The instructor has gone through the same stage, so I can very well understand your feelings and mood at this moment. Weiwei, what are you doing as a soldier for, have you seriously thought about this question? ”
"I have, I have seriously thought about it." Hang said reflexively, as if he had been wronged, "I look forward to the life in the barracks, I aspire to be a soldier, in my heart the military is a sacred profession, I want to be a member of the army." Whenever I see the news showing the figures of soldiers fighting for the people, I am very moved, and I think that is what I should pursue. So I gave up finishing my studies and my fledgling career to join the barracks. But ......"
Li Shuai immediately picked it up and said like a cannon, "But you didn't expect that the real military camp life is very different from what you imagined, you didn't expect that this would be a place that doesn't talk about people's feelings, you didn't expect that this place would be a place where people don't give opinions, and it is this place that deprives you of your most beloved nails and breaks through your so-called bottom line of cleanliness, right?" ”
Hang was slightly stunned, yes, yes, yes, how do you know!
Li Shuai said in a deep voice, his eyes were still deep, and said, "Every time a disaster comes, why can the soldiers stand in front of the people? Why can soldiers be loved and respected by the people? Have you thought about it? Because this is a steel collective forged with steel discipline, because we are an army that does everything for the people under the absolute leadership of the party. How do you do this? Rely on queues, on discipline, on training, on the party's absolute leadership, on what you think are impersonal demands. ”
"Weiwei, I may not be able to understand your affection for your nails, and I am afraid I can't understand your so-called cleanliness, but I understand your confusion very well. Whether in the army or in the locality, to achieve a certain goal requires effort and even a cost, do you agree? The management of the troops has always been like this, no matter who it is, whether it is a soldier or a cadre, there are no exceptions. The army is a hierarchical collective, because only in this way can it ensure strong combat effectiveness. ”
Li Shuai paused slightly, allowing Hang to digest what he said slightly.
"Would you like to hear my story?" Li Shuai asked.
Hang wiped his tears slightly and nodded.
Li Shuai said, "When I joined the army, I didn't think about why I wanted to be a soldier, and I didn't even think about anything before I went to the army. You have a clear goal, I didn't have it at the beginning, and you are better than me in this regard. Don't you think it's impossible, it's true, I was eighteen years old when I joined the army, and I had just graduated from high school. At that time, my family was poor, very poor, so poor that I couldn't pay for college tuition. I started working part-time, and my father couldn't bear to let me live like this for the rest of my life, so he tried his best to find a way to become a soldier. ”
"Yes, being a soldier is a way out of life, at least that's what my father thought, he gambled his son's life in the hope that I could get a good future in the army. My family was poor, and I wanted to be able to work to earn money to share the burden for my family, but I couldn't bear to see my father disappointed, so I enlisted in the army. Compared to you, my situation can be said to be quite poor, at least I can see that your family has no material problems. ”
"Or you think, yes, my family is poor, of course I'm willing to pay more to get the chance to stay in the army, so I'm more bearable. At the beginning, many of my comrades-in-arms were discharged from the army, and local enterprises came to recruit people, and the monthly salary offered started at 10,000 yuan, and the highest could reach 50,000 yuan. In all fairness, this treatment is good even in big cities. However, there are still many comrades-in-arms whose family economic conditions are not very good and choose to continue to stay in the army, why? For the ideals in your heart, as you said, this is the most important thing that a person should pursue in his life. There's always something more important than money, isn't it? ”
"Isn't it a very memorable thing to work hard for others when you are young, and when you are old? You tell me? ”
Hang cried slightly, crying and crying, tears slowly flowing out. All her thoughts and thoughts were told by the instructor, and in the instructor's description, she could imagine the instructor's past. Yes, there are always some things that are more important than money, don't you think so, that's why you choose to give up many people who join the army?
Why can't you give something for the sake of your ideals?
Li Shuai said in a deep voice, "Life in the barracks is boring, but at the same time it is colorful. Every day is a constant one-day life system, and if you stay long enough, you will find that it is the same year after year. On the surface, it is a contradictory way of life, but if you look broader, you will find that everything you are going through will be something that you will never have the opportunity to experience in the long days ahead, and you will be proud of it in the future. ”
"I'm a few years older than you, I'm my age, you should have just gone to college when I joined the army, I don't have as much local experience as you, but this is the army. As a person who has been in the past, as a veteran of eight years in the army, I believe in my vision, I think you are a very potential recruit, your conditions are very good, your physical fitness is not bad, adjust your mentality, you will have a colorful military career worth recalling for a lifetime. ”
Hang wiped away his tears slightly, nodded vigorously, and said in a choked voice, "Instructor, I understand, it's my own problem, I have to adjust my mentality." Tomorrow I will give you all the cosmetics and I will never use them again! ”
As soon as this sentence came out, Li Shuai was stupid, and asked in shock, "Cosmetics?" Where did you get the cosmetics? How did you hide it during the inspection? Where's the hiding? ”
Hang Weiwei's face turned slightly red and he didn't speak.
