Chapter 26 Investiture Ceremony
Capital.
A soldier stood at the outermost cordon, keeping an eye on the intersection ahead.
Everything here is so familiar to him, and no wind or grass can escape his eyes. For him, it is an honor to be able to stand guard here, and at the same time, he can have a high income.
There are three days left to pay the salary, and the savings of these two years can almost buy a large square meter house in my hometown. Finally, I can leave the dirty courtyard with my parents and wife, and the small coal stove can be officially laid off.
Imagining that everything is so beautiful, I dare not be sloppy in the slightest.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of a chain in the distance, and he subconsciously clenched his gun.
The sound of the chain is getting closer and closer, and a middle-aged man riding a bicycle gradually appears at the intersection. The soldier breathed a sigh of relief, this was a regular visitor, who was supposed to visit the innermost house.
"Comrade, please stop, please show your ID!"
Although I am familiar with the comers, the procedure cannot be less.
The middle-aged man pulled out an ID card-sized card and handed it to him.
The soldier stepped down from his waist and scanned the papers.
"Please come in!"
The middle-aged man put away his papers, nodded and smiled at the soldiers, and slowly rode into the alley.
After a series of security checks, I finally saw an inconspicuous courtyard house.
The middle-aged man got out of the car at the last security checkpoint and looked at the courtyard houses on both sides of the avenue as he walked. This is his habit, every time he comes here, he will push the cart and walk slowly, feeling the breath of brick by brick, grass and tree - the breath of power.
From the first time he came here, he began to learn not to rush.
No hurry, that was the first thing the young man said to himself.
So for several years in a row, he pushed the cart to that gate.
When the person arrived, his heart was calm.
Gently squeezing the door knocker, the metal and lacquered wood made a thick and crisp sound, and a moment later the door slowly opened to reveal an old man.
The old man nodded to him, reached out and took the bicycle and pushed it to the front yard.
The middle-aged man walked to the main courtyard, and when he passed through the door, he saw a young man sitting on this swarthy pony, staring blankly at the old pine with a crooked neck in the courtyard, and a few small white flowers blooming quietly next to the maza.
The young man's face was sickly pale, with a pair of black, metal-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, sweatpants, canvas shoes, and a plaid shirt like a weak scholar.
The middle-aged man stood beside him and looked at the crooked old pine as well.
"You say, what would happen if I cut it down grandpa?" The young man said suddenly.
The middle-aged man knew that he didn't need to answer the question, so he continued to remain silent.
After a long time, seeing the young man slowly closing his eyes, the middle-aged man asked, "Young master, the one from the northwest has gone to the south, what do we need to do?" ”
"The rules are tangible, and the rules are famous. Wait! ”
"Now that the ministries are going to make a major adjustment, this is an opportunity, so let it go?"
"You also know that a person like him, who has a perverted talent for the army, has already condensed the northwest into a steel plate in the past few years, and no matter how big our actions are, it is just a breeze for the northwest." It is positive, and it is strange that it is not sent. If you don't report it, you win. Those who have more than wonder, and those who overcome', this is what we have to do. What's more, why be so impulsive after so many years of perseverance. There is no hurry. ”
The middle-aged man nodded and turned around to leave, while secretly thinking about what the young master said just now, not like "The Art of War", go back and find out what it is.
"Qiao Shu, inform Chao Yin to get ready."
When the middle-aged man was about to walk out of the weeping flower door, he suddenly heard the young man's words, and looked back in surprise, the young man had returned to the house, and only the old pine and a few small white flowers swaying in the wind were left in the courtyard.
……
Conferred the title, conferred the title.
The recruits felt their rank in their pockets and were happy from the bottom of their hearts, and they were finally about to become full-fledged soldiers.
But what made the recruits curious was why those leading cadres had tense faces, as if they were more nervous than them.
Night Pine stood in the backstage of the auditorium again, looking at his speech over and over again.
At first, I didn't care much about the squad leader's instructions to write, but after handing over the manuscript to the team headquarters, the instructor almost revised the punctuation marks and asked to read the manuscript by heart, and Ye Song realized the importance of this speech.
As the last company entered the venue, all the personnel sat there at the signal of the regimental attendant and waited for the arrival of the leader.
"All stand up!"
In the applause, many unfamiliar officers entered the venue, Yang Qidong and others were among them, Zou Gu and other regimental cadres walked up to the stage, and others followed a strange middle-aged man to sit in the first row of the stage.
Who's that?
Why are there so many colonels?
When did these leaders come here?
In the midst of doubt, the investiture ceremony began.
The first item plays the national anthem.
This is perhaps the most touching of the national anthem since many people were born, and they are about to become an official soldier, guarding the land where the song is sung.
Then Ran Xianjia stood up and read out the order, "Order of the G Army of the Republic Army!" Awarded to ......"
Ye Song stood in the background trembling excitedly, with an inexplicable sense of excitement, and his waist unconsciously straightened.
"I'm ready to go on stage," reminded his comrade at the front of the queue.
They will receive leadership titles as representatives of the recruits.
"Let's go!"
Ye Song secretly glanced at the audience when he followed the queue to the stage, and his comrades-in-arms helped each other to confer titles.
After the queue stopped, Ye Song found Zou Gu, the head of the regiment who had given him the title.
Cockades, collar flowers, badges, armbands, national service badges, and military ranks.
Ye Song was full of emotion, he first came here and refused everything, and later military training, quilt folding competitions, theatrical evenings, physical progress, and friendship between comrades-in-arms...... After two months of army life, I gradually seem to like it, and it doesn't seem very bad to serve in the army.
After Zou Gu helped Ye Song button the military rank, he patted him on the shoulder and smiled slightly.
When everyone was in good ranks, under the leadership of Ran Xianjia, he raised his right fist and swore loudly to the military flag, and his confidence and hope were reflected in the oath.
Ye Song recited the oath and unconsciously had a sense of belonging and mission, young people are to serve the country...... Well, but it's only two years before I go back to college, so I can't afford to fall behind in my studies.
"Now I invite the representative of the recruits to speak!"
Ye Song took a deep breath and walked to the podium, looked at his comrades, and was just about to speak, when he suddenly saw an acquaintance sitting in the first row.
Master?
I'm going to you really a cow, even if you are a fourth-class sergeant major, you shouldn't sit in that position, Ye Song looked at his epaulettes again and was stunned.
What's the situation? How did "two thick crutches and two guns" become "ears of wheat and Venus".
Sprayed a general yourself last night? And in the end he became his apprentice?
That's exciting, isn't it?
