Chapter 100: Title I
"It's not like I'm going to trap you, it's an order from the captain." Grandpa Bi said without looking back as he walked.
Wang Aiguo paused for a moment, and then shouted loudly to Grandpa Bi: "Captain? What is he doing with me? ”
"I don't know, but I've heard that it was the instructor who manages the chemical protective suit." Grandpa Bi's voice came from afar.
Wang Aiguo was blinded at that time, can he still be like this when he co-authored? He broke the hazmat suit, and the instructor took revenge on him???
…….
The weekend passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was Monday morning.
On this day, the entire Chenyang New Barracks gathered in the big playground.
Today is a very important day for recruits like Wang Aiguo, because after today, they will be real soldiers, a soldier who will shoulder the mission of a soldier.
"Prepare to raise the flag." The captain stood at the bottom of the flag-raising stand and said to the captains of the team on the side.
The captain of a team shouted: "Welcome the national flag." ”
Soon, four soldiers of the honor guard in ceremonial uniforms carried the four corners of the national flag and walked step by step to the flag-raising platform.
"Raise the national flag and play the national anthem." When the national flag arrived at the flag-raising platform, the captain spoke again.
"Raise the national flag and play the national anthem."
In this way, on a bright Monday morning, under the background of the sun, the bright red national flag was slowly raised against the wind.
"Salute!" The captain shouted.
"Huh." More than 2,000 people in the entire Chenyang New Barracks did not hesitate at all, and the moment they heard the salute, everyone raised their hands and saluted in front of the solemn national flag.
When the national anthem ended, the captain slowly walked up to the flag-raising platform, and then took the microphone to greet everyone: "Finish the salute." ”
Everyone put down their hands, and then looked at the captain seriously, everyone knew that the next moment was the highlight of the day - the award ceremony.
The captain stood on the flag-raising platform, looked at the vast number of recruits below, and suddenly smiled.
The people in the back row couldn't see it clearly, but Wang Aiguo, who was the leader of the big row, could see it clearly, and in this solemn atmosphere, the captain who didn't smile actually smiled.
Wang Aiguo was stunned, what is so funny about such a serious award ceremony?
The captain didn't smile, but kept smiling, picked up the microphone and said to everyone: "I believe everyone knows it, today is the award ceremony, I believe there are many people here who didn't fall asleep all night last night." Because you want to be in the barracks, you want to join here, be a part of this place, be a screw here. ”
After the captain finished speaking, he suddenly paused, then took a deep breath and continued: "But before the award ceremony begins, I want to tell you a little story. ”
"A little story? Is it another veteran showing off his experience? Wang Aiguo frowned slightly, it seems that Grandpa Bi has done this. But today is the investiture ceremony, is it appropriate to tell a story in such a solemn environment?
Soon, however, the captain began his own speech.
"My hometown is a small backward village, and the only way from our village to the town is a bridge. That bridge has been around for many years, and I still remember that the broken bridge was in danger of collapsing if two people walked at a time. ”
As soon as the captain spoke, everyone was stunned, why did they suddenly remember bittersweet at such a time? However, everyone still listened very carefully, because everyone wanted to know, what did the captain want to say?
I heard the captain continue: "Later, the government planned our village as an industrial development zone, and several huge factories were built next door to our village. And because our village has been repaired, the original muddy path has been turned into a road, and the broken bridge has been replaced with a very imposing stone bridge. From that day on, we no longer had to fear that the bridge would suddenly break when we went to town. At that time, the government also arranged a special route from our village to the town. ”
The captain said as Wang Aiguo looked at Grandpa Bi and them. As a result, he found that Grandpa Bi was also curious. At this time, Wang Aiguo realized that this was not a conventional program, but the first time the captain really told his story.
"After the village was renovated, my parents decided to use half of their life savings to rebuild our house. The day the new house was built, my parents and I were very happy. We don't have to live in that dilapidated house anymore, we can live in a small bungalow, everything is new, and it seems that a better tomorrow is about to begin. ”
Speaking of this, the captain suddenly paused, and the original smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a sad expression, as if he remembered something bad.
However, the good news did not last long, and within a month, an explosion occurred in the factory next door to the village. On the day of the explosion, I happened to be at home, and I saw the fire dragon soaring into the sky, and the black clouds covered the entire sky, and the picture was almost like the end of the world. ”
"My dad rushed back from outside as soon as he could, and then pulled me and my mom to run outside. My mom was also scared and kept crying. But my mom didn't go with my dad for the first time, but sat in front of the house and shouted, 'This is our home, it's our new home.' It took us most of our life savings to have this home! ’”
When the captain said this, Wang Aiguo looked at the captain and seemed to imagine the picture back then. A helpless woman sat at her door, crying out weakly. It's not that she's not afraid of death, she's just reluctant, she can't accept watching her new home burned to the ground.
Everyone was silent one by one, looking at the captain with a very heavy expression.
At this time, the captain continued: "Later, my father forced my mother to pull me up, and he said to my mother, 'Talent is a home, and a home can be built again if it is gone.'" But when people are gone, they are really gone. Maybe this behavior seems very stupid to you now, because the house will have insurance, there will be government subsidies, and you can build another one anyway. But for the people back then, the house was their life savings, and they didn't know that someone would help them, they just knew that the house was gone, and the home was gone. ”
My dad picked up my mom and hurried out of the village. At that time, everyone in the village had already run crazy to the outside of the village, and the stone bridge that originally led to the outside of the village became our last straw. As soon as we crossed the stone bridge, we were safe. ”
"As I was crossing the stone bridge, I saw several people coming towards us from a distance. Those people stood out in the crowd because they were wearing firefighting suits. While everyone was running out of the village in a panic, they ran towards the village step by step. ”
