Xu Sanduo saw a non-commissioned officer questioning him, and hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Three companies and five classes, Xu Sanduo!" Hello squad leader! ”

After the recruits leave the company, they generally use the title of squad leader to address non-commissioned officers they don't know.

Xu Sanduo called it that, and it is not wrong.

The non-commissioned officer surnamed Wang returned the salute and asked with a smile: "Comrade Sanduo, your fifth class is not in the training ground, where are you going?" ”

"I ...... I want to plant flower seeds on the side of the road, and I want to ...... I want to go to the regiment headquarters to buy some flower seeds, and ...... By the way, I went to the regiment headquarters to see my comrades-in-arms and fellow countrymen. I...... I took a leave of absence from my squad leader. ”

When Xu Sanduo explained these words, his eyes were a little evasive.

Looking at his timid look, Su Qiyue was a little helpless.

It's obviously a very legitimate and reasonable thing, how can it be so unconfident when it comes out of his mouth.

The non-commissioned officer surnamed Wang listened to Xu Sanduo's stammering words, and immediately became happy: "Comrade Sanduo, you still have ideas!" ”

"However, it's not close to the regimental headquarters from here. You're just going to walk over there? ”

Xu Sanduo saw that this non-commissioned officer did not criticize his whimsy, and his tense face relaxed a little.

"I ...... I'm just trying my luck to see if I can touch the herdsman's car......"

The herdsmen's cars mentioned by Xu Sanduo are naturally not cars or motorcycles, but ox carts and horse-drawn carts.

The herdsmen on the grasslands almost use these when they go out.

"The herdsman's car is not a good wait!"

The non-commissioned officer surnamed Wang happily followed, "But you're lucky, there happens to be a car going to the regiment headquarters today!" ”

Xu Sanduo was stunned, then his eyes widened, his neck stretched out, and he looked around.

Looking at him like this, it seems that he wants to see where the car is that the non-commissioned officer said.

Seeing his stupid appearance, the non-commissioned officer surnamed Wang couldn't help grinning, pushed the car door, and said to Su Qiyue: "Comrade July, I'll sit in the front, and you and your comrades-in-arms will talk in the back!" ”

Su Qiyue agreed, stretched out his hand and signaled to Xu Sanduo: "Sanduo, come up, our car is just going to the regiment headquarters." ”

"Ahh Are you sure? ”

When Xu Sanduo heard this, his eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Looking at the smile on Su Qiyue's face, Xu Sanduo's somewhat apprehensive mood settled down inexplicably.

After the car started again, Xu Sanduo gradually opened the conversation box and told Su Qiyue his story in Class 5.

"In July, we have few people there, but the place is big, our class elder Ma, it's good for us!"

Listening to a lot of chatter, Su Qiyue didn't feel bored.

He can understand the loneliness of Xu Sanduo on the grassland.

Just like his original profession, he has no friends, no relatives on the grassland, only boundless loneliness.

When he happened to meet his comrade-in-arms from the recruit company, he was afraid that he would like to tell all the trivial things again.

"We also have a Li Meng there, who writes novels every day, and he writes very well! By the way, there is also Lao Wei ......"

An hour's drive, almost all the time Xu Sanduo was talking, and Su Qiyue was listening.

Later, Xu Sanduo himself was a little embarrassed.

He peeked at Su Qiyue's peaceful expression, and asked a little sneeringly, "Qiyue, are you...... How are you doing with the Seventh Company? ”

Regarding Xu Sanduo's question, Su Qiyue thought for a moment, smiled and said, "Not bad!" Our squad leader is the platoon leader of our recruit company; And your squad leader in the recruit company, Wu Liuyi, is the deputy ...... of our squad."

"Platoon Commander Shi! Platoon Commander Shi: Is he okay? ”

Hearing Shi Jin's name, Xu Sanduo immediately raised his voice with some excitement.

"Platoon Leader Shi, is it Shi Jin's squad leader?"

When the non-commissioned officer surnamed Wang, who was the co-pilot in front, heard this, he couldn't help but turn around and ask.

Xu Sanduo hummed, nodded again and again: "Yes!" Platoon Commander Shi is good to me in the recruit company! ”

The non-commissioned officer surnamed Wang snorted, turned his head to look at Su Qiyue and said, "Squad Leader Shi is in the third year of a third-level non-commissioned officer, right?" Just like our squad leader! ”

Hearing this, Su Qiyue's heart suddenly tightened.

That's right, Shi Jin is already in the third year of a third-level non-commissioned officer this year, and he should be transferred to a fourth-level non-commissioned officer in one year.

But if you want to become a fourth-level non-commissioned officer, it is extremely difficult.

Although Shi Jin has a certain personal honor, he does not have a significant advantage over several other third-class non-commissioned officers in the regiment in the same period.

Originally, Su Qiyue always thought that Xu Sanduo had not yet reached the Seventh Company, and the time for this squad leader to retire from the army should be too early.

But now that he listened to the unintentional words of the non-commissioned officer surnamed Wang, he suddenly had a sense of urgency.

"It can't be delayed any longer, the matter of squad leader Shi must find a way to solve it quickly!"

Clenched his fist vigorously, Su Qiyue secretly made up his mind.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Sanduo couldn't help but ask: "July, why did you take the car of our third company to the regiment headquarters?" ”

Before Su Qiyue could explain, the non-commissioned officer surnamed Wang in the front row had already started laughing.

"Sanduo, Comrade July went to the Youth League headquarters to give us a lecture. Don't you know, two months later, the non-commissioned officer exam of the group army will be, and Comrade July is a high-achieving student, and in terms of cultural classes, we all have to rely on him for guidance! ”

After listening to the explanation of the non-commissioned officer surnamed Wang, Xu Sanduo suddenly came to his senses.

He was a little happy and said to Su Qiyue: "July, you are always so good!" ”

Su Qiyue's excellence will not have any stimulation to Xu Sanduo.

In his mind, this young man of his age should have been so outstanding.

Looking at the sincere smile on his face, Su Qiyue was a little stunned.

In philosophical theory, there is the concept of the focal effect, which is a manifestation of overestimating the attention of those around you about your appearance and behavior.

The focus effect means that humans tend to see themselves as the center of everything and intuitively overestimate how much attention others pay to them.

Normally, the focus effect is not a good thing.

But in Su Qiyue's view, what Xu Sanduo lacks the most is the focus effect.

He was too low-key and underestimated himself too much, and he never wanted to be the center of attention.

This flaw in his character cannot be changed in a moment.

He can only rely on himself, through the tempering of reality, to comprehend little by little.

……

When the car arrived at the regiment headquarters, the sentry on duty at the gate naturally stopped the car.

After checking the documents, the sentry signaled that the car could go.

Xu Sanduo did not go in with Su Qiyue.

He got out of the car and smiled toothily at Su Qiyue: "July, you go get busy, I won't bother you!" ”

Su Qiyue thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go first." ”

"By the way, you can stay at the regimental headquarters for one night, and they will come tomorrow to maintain the chariot."
