Chapter 51: Friendship
Xiao Mubai had to leave, because this was a very important matter, about a person, about a friendship, and about future tasks.
Situ Zheng, Xiao Mubai's classmate in high school, is still a close friend and friend.
is still brothers who were born and died together, chased girls together in those years, skipped classes together, drank heavily, surfed the Internet, and fought together in those years, of course, these can also be regarded as birth and death.
Xiao Mubai and Situ Zheng have a deep relationship, and throughout the three years of high school, among all the boys in Class 7, he is the person Xiao Mubai doesn't care much about.
A chance acquaintance began with a "World Military" magazine. Since then, every issue of military magazines such as "World Military", "Light Weapons", and "Ship Knowledge" has witnessed the friendship between Situ Zheng and Xiao Mubai, and Situ Zheng is the guide of Xiao Mubai's army on the lost road.
Three years, if at the beginning it was just out of interest, from the passion of loyalty to the country, from the enthusiasm and rebellion of adolescence, then at the end of the college entrance examination, when I applied for volunteering, I put aside the initial dream, and what remained was the cruelty of reality and the helplessness of succumbing to reality.
Every boy has a river and lake in his heart, and in the same way, every boy has a dream of becoming a soldier in his heart. There is a saying that you regret being a soldier for two years, and regretting not being a soldier for a lifetime, and that's what you say.
Xiao Mubai was opened by Situ Zheng and said that he would see him at the military academy after the college entrance examination, but Xiao Mubai breached the contract, and for this, he almost lost a precious friendship.
Xiao Mubai was still a thin teenager at that time, and he would get sick at every turn. After getting to know Situ Zheng, he began to exercise in a planned way, and in less than a year, he grew strong and strong, and rarely regained his illness in the future.
What Situ Zheng brought to Xiao Mubai was not only a strong body and the concept of fitness, but also a heart of loyalty to the country.
Situ Zheng was born in a military family, which Xiao Mubai later knew.
Following Situ Zheng, Xiao Mubai popularized a lot of military knowledge. From a novice who doesn't know anything and only knows anti-Japanese dramas, to a senior military fan. Military magazines and military weekly magazines are all exposed to Situ Zheng's ears, which constitutes Xiao Mubai's ready-made military outlook.
I don't know when it started, Xiao Mubai's dream changed from becoming a lawyer since he was a child to becoming a soldier at that time.
Joining the army and taking the military academy was Xiao Mubai's dream at that time.
However, the way to realize his dream is always full of various accidents and obstacles, and Xiao Mubai is no different.
The obstruction from the body, the eyesight and the scars on the body, these made Xiao Mubai unable to pass the physical examination.
From the obstruction of his parents' family, Xiao Mubai's family is a middle-class family, not seeking to be rich and expensive, but only seeking stability and ordinary, Xiao Mubai's military career is not under consideration. Moreover, Xiao Mubai, as the eldest grandson of the third generation of the Xiao family in Shaoxing, must be on his knees and wait for the old man.
Then there is Xiao Ya's obstruction, and the military family is not Xiao Ya's value pursuit. Xiao Ya's dream is to become an urban white-collar worker, have a fixed career, have a higher salary, do not need to worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt, do not need to travel frequently, and do not need to separate the husband and wife. However, if Xiao Mubai becomes a soldier and puts his time and energy into the barracks from now on, gathering less and leaving more places in different places, such a relationship will definitely not last long, let alone a lifelong husband and wife.
If Xiao Ya can support it, Xiao Mubai may be able to find a way to overcome other pressures. But Xiao Ya's opposition became the last straw that crushed Xiao Mubai.
At that time, Xiao Mubai had been chasing Xiao Ya for two years, and Xiao Ya made it clear that if she was admitted to the same university, she would agree to Xiao Mubai and fall in love with him. In other words, if Xiao Mubai is admitted to the military academy, it means that Xiao Ya will not be with him, and Xiao Mubai's relationship will end without a problem.
However, Xiao Mubai has been struggling for two years, how can he give up because of this.
Under the trade-off, sacrificing something is inevitable, Xiao Mubai finally succumbed to reality, in the approval of his parents, Xiao Ya's satisfaction, and Situ Zheng's loss, Xiao Mubai chose E University and embarked on the journey of Shanghai.
said that he would take the military school with his good friends, but in the end he went to E University with his prospective girlfriend, and the heavy color and light friend were talking about Xiao Mubai.
Xiao Mubai knew that he was ashamed of his good friend and that deep friendship, but he had to be like this, he had to let go of his feelings, and he couldn't live in the past for the rest of his life.
During that time, Xiao Mubai faced Situ Zheng speechlessly, perhaps because both parties were busy and had a new life, but somehow, they actually broke off contact.
Maybe it's because they're busy with their own business, maybe both sides haven't bowed their heads, or maybe it's other reasons, in short, it's just that they have broken contact.
That's three years.
Three years later, Xiao Mubai finally lowered his noble head in the face of reality.
In order to complete the task, Xiao Mubai once again remembered Situ Zheng and took the initiative to contact and receive a reply for the first time.
Xiao Mubai suddenly felt ashamed of his utilitarianism, and asked himself if he could still be so eager to see him if he was not driven by a task.
Xiao Mubai was in a complicated mood and didn't know how to face his former friends.
That day, when he was thinking about how to practice, Xiao Mubai suddenly remembered him.
Situ Zheng, PLA Institute of International Relations, junior student.
Situ Zheng's family is a military family, and his father served in the First Group Army of the Nanjing Military Region and was stationed in Huzhou, Zhejiang.
Xiao Mubai suddenly remembered him that day, and then realized that he hadn't been in touch for a long time, so he hesitated for a long time and finally sent a message.
Xiao Mubai waited for a week, and when he was infinitely lost, he suddenly heard back.
Xiao Mubai wondered if Situ Zheng went to the grassroots company for training, and then he couldn't receive the news, and only now did he return to school and reply to the message.
Xiao Mubai's message is very simple: Situ, let's have a chance to chat.
Situ Zheng's reply was more concise, just like his character: at the entrance of the Nanjing People's Liberation Army Institute of International Relations, see you at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
There was not much time, Xiao Mubai was in a hurry when he left, and simply instructed Xiao Ning to leave.
The intelligent Xiao Ning noticed Xiao Mubai's strange mood, didn't mess around anymore, and obediently listened to what Xiao Mubai said.
How far is it from Shanghai to Nanjing, there are three hundred and four hundred and four .6 kilometers, and it takes three hours to drive at a high speed according to the speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
But is that all?
No, no four hours is not enough to go from the city to the elevated, on the highway, through the toll booth, off the highway, into the city, and then to the School of International Relations.
What if it's a bullet train high-speed rail?
From Shanghai to Nanjing, the high-speed rail takes two hours, and the shortest time can be more than an hour, but it is not certain that there is a car and a ticket at this time, but it seems that Xiao Mubai can only choose this.
Because if you take a plane, there is no direct connection between Shanghai and Nanjing, most of them are Qingdao transit, even if there is a direct connection, it is not the time of noon, it is not as good as the high-speed rail bullet train.
The time Situ Zheng said was three o'clock in the afternoon, and when Xiao Mubai received the news, it was twelve o'clock in the afternoon, according to his character, he would not wait for Xiao Mubai for more than a second.
Therefore, Xiao Mubai can only go all out, even if it is an unfinishable task. However, for the sake of this friendship, Xiao Mubai fought hard.
At this moment, Xiao Mubai was thinking about how good it would be if there was a helicopter.
