On the day of the graduation assessment, after the morning exercise, the squadrons did not disband as usual, but all concentrated in the open space in front of the teaching brigade, and the captain Wen Zhixing personally went into battle to cheer for the students who were about to take the exam.

It was an exciting time.

Wen Zhixing waved his right hand again and again in front of the team, and encouraged the students to repay their squad leaders, district captains and squadron leaders with the best results, as well as the companies that recommended themselves to participate in the training camp.

Standing solemnly in the ranks, but the fugue is too empty.

Looking past Wen Zhixing, not far behind the brigade headquarters was Feiyun Mountain.

It's been almost half a year.

Time passed like an arrow in a whizz.

Solemn suddenly had a strange thought.

How many half a year are there in life?

And the most precious youth, how many and a half years are there?

Here, I left the most important half year of my youth.

In the teaching team, he experienced life and death, possessed something that he had never had before, gained something he had never gotten, but at the same time lost something precious.

I had been looking forward to leaving, and I was really going to leave, and solemnly felt that I was inexplicably sad.

It seems like a pity that I didn't get to university.

But Zhuang Zheng didn't expect that the army was actually like a university, but it didn't teach the courses learned in ordinary universities.

Just like the theoretical assessment early this morning, it is divided into three examination rooms, which are set up in the large conference rooms of the three squadrons, and all the students have breakfast, holding their homework folders, putting white paper and pens, exactly the same as in the high school exam.

The theoretical assessment lasts 120 minutes, and the topics are all about the class's military theory, weapons elements, various types of shooting and weapon use knowledge.

Of course, these are not difficult for solemnity.

However, some students who are not highly educated, or who are not solid, will sweat profusely when they take the exam.

Seriousness was the first to be handed in by the whole squadron.

This was not unexpected.

Because of the high level of serious culture, this solemnity is clear from the beginning of the recruit company.

Xu Xingguo and Zhuang Yan handed in the papers almost at the same time.

Out of the door of the examination room, he solemnly looked at Xu Xingguo, who had a sad face, and couldn't help asking: "Old Xu, why do you have a bitter melon-like face?" Failed the test? ”

Xu Xingguo stretched out his hand and sandwiched his two fingers in the air: "Is there any smoke?" ”

Zhuang Zheng didn't expect Xu Xingguo to suddenly pop up such a sentence.

Because under normal circumstances, Xu Xingguo is a non-smoker.

The last time Xu Xingguo touched a cigarette, he remembered that when he was fighting the flood, he was so tired that he couldn't do it, so he insisted on using cigarettes to refresh himself.

"You......" solemnly took out a cigarette and handed one to Xu Xingguo.

Xu Xingguo took advantage of the fire and lit a cigarette, still with a sad face, looking into the distance with empty eyes.

solemnly asked: "I said Lao Xu, am I a comrade-in-arms?" Tell me something? ”

Xu Xingguo smoked silently and didn't say a word.

Wang Datong suddenly appeared behind the two of them and shouted coldly: "What are you two doing!" ”

Zhuang Zheng was startled, turned around and scolded: "The big mouth of the dog day, can you not be like a donkey with nerves, startled." ”

Wang Datong stretched out his hand, motioned for cigarettes, and solemnly gave him a cigarette.

As soon as he clicked, Xu Xingguo suddenly asked Wang Datong: "Big mouth, you are a veteran, I have something to ask you." ”

Wang Datong smiled and smoked a cigarette, he likes others to call him a veteran the most, and he likes the recruit's body temperature for help the most, and he said with a big bag: "Say, it's not me who blows, don't look at you have been in the army for almost a year, there are many things, there are still many things you don't know." ”

Xu Xingguo said: "Is it true that if I am a squadron correspondent at the same time, I will definitely be able to stay in the team?" ”

"Absolutely!" Wang Datong didn't think about it and said, "Do you know the tenth squad leader of the fourth district team?" ”

Xu Xingguo and Zhuang Zhuang glanced at each other, nodded and said, "I know." ”

The tenth-squad leader that Wang Datong said was a third-year veteran with the rank of sergeant. The difference with Qian Zhongjun and Pei Quan is that he is the coach squad leader of the teaching team itself, and he was not temporarily transferred from the infantry regiment below.

"He used to be the machine gun company of the second battalion of our regiment, and the training was very top-notch, and within two months of coming to teach the team, he was transferred to the squadron just like Xu Xingguo, and served as a squadron communicator while training, and then when he graduated, he was directly retained in the team as the leader of the tenth squad."

In order to show that his veteran has extensive knowledge, Wang Datong added: "Do you know why those who are selected as correspondents will stay in the team? ”

Xu Xingguo shook his head.

Zheng Zheng said: "Is it because the correspondent is at the squadron headquarters, and he has the most contact with the company commander and instructor, and he gets the moon first near the water?" ”

"Don't understand, do you?" Wang Datong said with a smug expression: "What you said is only the superficial reason, and there is another important reason, if the training performance of the transferred trainees is not good, part-time as a correspondent will definitely delay the results of the training, only the best results, take some time to do some work for the team site, it will not affect anything." So, this is also done with the training effect in mind. ”

He glanced at Xu Xingguo and said, "Look, a talent like you, right?" One person can take two top-notch ones, of course you will be transferred! And think about it, since the training is the best, who do you keep if the teaching team doesn't keep you? ”

Xu Xingguo let out an "oh", as if he was thoughtful.

Wang Datong said: "By the way, why did you suddenly ask this question? ”

Xu Xingguo sighed and said: "I won't hide it from you, I'm going to graduate recently, I found an opportunity yesterday and asked the squadron leader when no one was around, saying that I want to stay in the teaching team as a squad leader when the time comes......"

Wang Datong asked: "So, what did Lao Zhou say?" ”

Xu Xingguo's brows furrowed again, and he said, "He just didn't say anything, he just said that I knew." ”

Wang Datong asked: "And then?" ”

Xu Xingguo said: "Then? And then there was no more...... He turned around and went back to his little room, and I didn't even have time to ask any more questions, and I didn't have time to follow them. ”

Wang Datong smoked a cigarette, puffed out a smoke ring, and said confidently: "Well, that's right, he doesn't want you to be distracted at the last moment of the exam!" You don't want to think about it, can I pat you on the shoulder now and promise you, Xu Xingguo, I will definitely leave you in the teaching team, don't worry! ”

He imitated Zhou Huping's daily tone, vividly.

"In this way, you kid still have the heart to take the exam? Anyway, if you can stay, you will naturally be slack, and if you are lax, you will not be able to pass the test, and it is okay to say that the military is okay, and there are still four meetings in combat command and theory? Right? If you want to stay, you must have good grades, otherwise what to declare to the brigade? ”

Xu Xingguo's furrowed brows finally slowly loosened, and finally smiled and said to Wang Datong: "Yes, yes, yes!" Big mouth, you're absolutely right! I couldn't have imagined this layer! What is the identity of the captain of the family, how can he do things like our little soldiers, and promise everything, how bad is that! Or the squadron leader is stable! ”

The king opened his big mouth, laughed loudly, and said, "Okay, you should worry less about it!" Waiting for the time to stay in the team and invite our brothers to go to the old oil shop for a meal, I don't just eat canned dace and boiled fast noodles, I want to fry a few side dishes! ”

"Okay!" Xu Xingguo, who has always been thrifty, is arrogant this time: "Good dishes are indispensable, and your share is indispensable!" ”
