Chapter 3 Welcome to the 702nd Regiment
The entry of college students into the army is simply a fantasy and incomprehensible for the current era.
Not to mention that this college student is still a graduate from the key famous university of the capital Qing University.
As early as the first day when Chen Yu signed up for the army, his name had already spread through the mouths of all the cadres in charge of signing up for this year's recruits.
The cultural standard for military recruitment, before that, was only a requirement to graduate from junior high school.
This time, it was only one level higher, and it was required to graduate from high school, which is still unthinkable for college students.
After all, in the barracks, the image of people has always been hard-working.
Therefore, for today's college students, being a soldier is never the best choice.
At this time, college students in society are not like later generations, undergraduates are all over the place, junior colleges are not as good as dogs, and graduate students can only shake a little.
Today's college students, even if they are just graduates of junior colleges, are very popular, and there are a lot of jobs waiting for them to choose.
Therefore, becoming a soldier is always the last way out they will consider.
College students who are now going to serve in the military are either because their families have been soldiers for generations, and they have different feelings for the military camp than ordinary people; Either because he yearns for the military camp very much, he has a dream of being a soldier.
And those who are neither, generally do not go to the army.
The people who go to join the army now are often those who have graduated from junior high school or high school, and have not been admitted to university.
Or because of the poverty of the family, there is not enough financial strength to pay for the study.
These people, because their education level is not high enough, cannot find a good job, and they are not willing to be farmers for life.
In the end, becoming a soldier became their best choice, and those places that college students did not want to go to, instead became the places they competed with each other to go.
Under such a social norm, Chen Yu, who has been known as a genius since he was a child and graduated from a key university, came to serve as a soldier, which naturally caused a lot of fluctuations in the circle of veteran cadres who were responsible for recruitment.
For those of them who are responsible for recruiting soldiers, recruiting a good soldier is often more satisfying than letting them win a lottery.
Shi Jin also got the news from his instructor about Chen Yu, a college student, coming to join the army.
Originally, he still thought that he didn't know which brother unit that had taken the shit luck could recruit such a good seedling, but he never thought that this brother unit that had taken the shit luck would be their regiment.
This was something he had never dared to think of before.
In the past, it was not without precedent for college students to join the army, but those college students often went to some units that needed to master advanced knowledge, such as helicopter brigades and antiaircraft artillery brigades directly under the division headquarters, or they were directly sent to some personnel training bases to train high-end technical personnel who had mastered professional and technical knowledge.
But like Chen Yu, who was directly assigned to a grassroots unit like their 702nd Regiment, he was really a scorpion poop - the only one.
It was precisely because of this situation that Chen Yu was stunned for a moment after introducing himself just now.
After Chen Yu listened to Shi Jin's words, the doubts in his heart were finally solved.
He also has a little understanding of the rarity of college students serving as soldiers today, and when he was a soldier, he was also opposed by his parents in every way.
He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but before he could speak, a whistle sounded near the entrance of the carriage.
As soon as Shi Jin heard the whistle, he immediately turned his head and was about to run over, but when he turned around, he seemed to remember something again, and turned to look at Chen Yu again.
He smiled at Chen Yu, raised his right hand and patted him on the shoulder.
"Chen Yu, on behalf of the 702nd Regiment, I welcome you, work hard, I believe you will definitely become an excellent soldier. Now grab your stuff and get ready to board the bus. ”
After speaking, he turned around and smiled at Xu Sanduo again, and then ran towards the place where the whistle sounded.
As he ran, he shouted: "Everyone, assemble, call your name, take your luggage and go to the door to line up to board the bus." ”
Seeing that he was about to board the car, Chen Yu hurriedly ran in front of his parents again.
"Dad, Mom, I'm about to board the bus, you take care of yourself at home. Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself, don't I live alone in the capital in college, what else do you have to worry about. ”
Tan Yufeng looked at his son in a green military uniform in front of him, thinking that he had just been together for two or three months, and now he was going to be separated again.
She has always been strong, but in the end, she couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes, don't turn her head and quietly wipe her tears.
Seeing this, Chen Yu didn't know how to comfort him.
In the end, Chen Guoliang said: "Son, since you are a soldier, you must work hard when you get to the barracks, don't embarrass our surname Chen, and have a good relationship with your comrades-in-arms, don't be as strong as you did just now, what if you hurt yourself." Got it? ”
Chen Yu saw his father carefully instructing, his eyes were also slightly red, he has been in this world for eighteen years, due to the age of his previous life, he and his parents have always been the same as other parents and children.
He has his own ideas, his own pursuits, and has always worked hard for them.
But he never considered his parents' feelings, when he was admitted to university, he ignored his parents' opposition, and went to the capital to study at university, which made his mother angry for a long time.
After graduating, I didn't follow my parents' advice to find a good job.
Regardless of his parents' opposition, he signed up for the army.
Now looking at his parents' deep reluctance towards him, his heart is full of guilt and apology.
He couldn't give his parents any assurance now, and as everyone ran towards the car door, he suddenly raised his right hand and gave a solemn military salute to his parents.
This was the first military salute in his life, and now, he respects his parents, who have raised him for 18 years.
Tan Yufeng, who had just suppressed the emotions in his heart, finally couldn't hold back anymore when he saw his current military salute, and tears flowed down like a torrential rain.
Even Chen Guoliang next to him couldn't help but reddened his eyes, forced himself to be reluctant, waved his hand at him, and signaled him to leave.
It wasn't until Chen Yu's name was shouted over there that he put down his saluting right hand, picked up his luggage, turned around and ran over.
At this time, everyone in their carriage had boarded the train, and he was the last one, and under the gaze of his parents, he walked on the train step by step and disappeared into the eyes of his parents.
At this time, after putting away their luggage, everyone immediately climbed to the window, ignoring the train that was already slowly moving, and some even directly stretched half of their bodies out of the window, waving goodbye to their parents outside the window.
Chen Yu is not like them, he has already finished what he should say, and if he says anything, it will be useless, it is just to make his parents worry about himself a little more.
Instead of saying goodbye to them with tears now, it is better to wear military uniforms and hold military medals in the future, and come back to visit them generously.
