"You bunny, you finally know how to call home." As soon as the phone rang, the woman with a soft voice on the other side heard Xia Junhao's voice, and knew that it was her baby son, and couldn't help crying with joy, although his son and his father often learned about his son's movements through other channels, and would tell her every time he came back, but how could it be compared with hearing his son's voice.

"Mom, it's not like you don't know, the field troops below are strictly managed, and the training tasks are heavy, and I'm a rookie. How can I have time to call you. Xia Junhao told a white lie, although the recruits are strict and tightly trained, but there is still time to call home, but he is still angry with his family, this time he called because he has been tempered and beaten in the army for nearly half a year, and his mind and mind have unconsciously matured a lot, so he decided to call home.

"Okay, mom doesn't blame you, Xiaohao, have you suffered a lot, have you been wronged, you hurry up and tell your mother, Mom. Force your stubborn dad to call down there, say hello, and take care of you. The voice of my mother's concerned greeting came from the phone, mixed with the mother's worried sobs.

Xia Junhao felt guilty and regretted that he couldn't do it, thinking that he should have called home a long time ago. But then he remembered something again, gritted his teeth and said urgently: "Mom, you can't tell my dad about me calling you, let alone let him greet you below, otherwise I won't call you again." ”

A sigh came from the other end of the phone, and he said helplessly: "Okay, mom won't tell your father, you are just two stubborn donkeys." Forget it, let's not talk about it, you tell your mother how you've spent the past few months. ”

Xia Junhao was secretly relieved when he heard his mother's promise, and then briefly talked about his experience since joining the army, which mentioned Niu Zhiyuan, Jin Jiagang and Hou Jiangtao many times, especially Niu Zhiyuan, almost everything has Niu Zhiyuan's shadow.

“…… Speaking of which, I came to the Tiger Company because I was sorry for Niu Zhiyuan, if it wasn't for his encouragement, I wouldn't have achieved such good training results, but our company commander said that I could only choose one of the two of us, so I came in the end. I came here to know that the training conditions of the Tiger Company in all aspects far exceed those of other companies, and I have been worried about Niu Zhiyuan's good training qualifications these days, which will be delayed in the Red Ninth Company. If only we could find a way to get him to come to our Tiger Reconnaissance Company as well. Ah! Don't talk about it, Mom, it's almost time for me to go out, I'll hang up first. Mother! You must remember that you must never tell my dad about the call I made to you. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Junhao hurriedly hung up the phone, picked up the things he bought and rushed out of the phone booth.

On the other end of the phone, a beautiful and gentle woman in her forties listened to the beeping voice on the phone, with a complicated expression on her face, with relief, worry and concern.

After thinking for a while, he picked up his mobile phone and made a call: "Secretary Huang!" ”

"You're welcome, I have something I want to trouble you, it's like this, there is a ......recruit named Niu Zhiyuan in the Red Ninth Company of Regiment A of the 91st Division, by the way, you don't tell your chief about this little thing, I will tell him."

……

……

On the weekend, several veterans in the class were playing poker, Hou Jiangtao ran from the car company to the Red Nine Company to find Niu Zhiyuan and Jin Jiagang to play, Niu Zhiyuan and Jin Jiagang asked for leave with the squad leader, and the three of them went to the Tiger Reconnaissance Company to find Xia Junhao, only to know that the latter was actually out, and the three of them ran to the military service club to buy a bunch of food after envy, and found a secluded place behind the car park, hiding here while bragging and eating snacks, without the cadres and backbones staring, so uncomfortable.

As soon as he sat down, Hou Jiangtao took out a pack of 'Jincheng' cigarettes from his pocket, skillfully pulled out one, lit it and took a deep breath, and spit out a smoke ring in a chic manner, and then handed the cigarette to Niu Zhiyuan and Jin Jiagang with their mouths open, and said: "How about it, you two haven't smoked it yet!" Why don't you have one today? ”

"The squad leader said that recruits are not allowed to smoke." Jin Jiagang said this in his mouth, but he was a little nervous, although he had never smoked, but he saw that the veterans often soared into the clouds, and he was very curious.

"Forget it!" Niu Zhiyuan actually has the same thoughts as Jin Jiagang, but he heard the squad leader say that smoking will affect the adjustment of breathing during long-distance running, and it will be very uncomfortable to breathe when running the 400-meter obstacle.

"Two cowards, what are you afraid of. Recruits from our car company often secretly smoked cigarettes here and never picketed to check. Besides, smoking one will not make you addicted, and it is just for you to feel it. Hou Jiangtao was very enthusiastic and wanted to share his good things with his good comrades in the two recruit companies.

"Anyway, there is no rule in the ordinance that soldiers are not allowed to smoke, and many veterans smoke cigarettes." Niu Zhiyuan thought of this, and his mouth was not to be outdone: "Smoke it, smoke it, whoever is afraid of whom." ”

As he spoke, he took out a cigarette pack from the cigarette pack handed over by Hou Jiangtao, Jin Jiagang has always been a good and far-reaching horse, and he was not far behind, and he took out a cigarette and pinched it in his hand, Hou Jiangtao did not rush to light it for them, but first taught them how to hold cigarettes, and then lit them and let them take a puff.

"Ahem, cough, cough, cough, ........."

"Ahem, ahem......"

Niu Zhiyuan and Jin Jiagang were choked at the same time, and tears flowed out.

Hou Jiangtao was already trembling with laughter, but his voice was a little loud, attracting the two pickets who were passing by.

The relationship between the picket and the ordinary soldier is similar to that of a cat and mouse, and the three recruits couldn't help but stand up and salute when they saw the picket's iconic white steel helmet and white gloves, and said in unison: "Hello squad leader!" ”

The two pickets were the first-class non-commissioned officer and the senior soldier, and gave the three recruits a very standard salute, and then looked at the three of them with a critical gaze for a moment, and the first-class non-commissioned officer said solemnly: "Although there is no provision in the ordinance that smoking is not allowed, but the recruits are always not allowed to smoke, didn't your squad leader tell you?" Which one are you connected to? ”

When did Niu Zhiyuan and Jin Jia just have this kind of intersection with the pickets, their faces turned white, after all, in their cognition, the squad leader did say that recruits were not allowed to smoke.

"We all have three shifts in a row." Before Niu Zhiyuan, Hou Jiangtao said very righteously.

"Who's your squad leader?" The two pickets did not doubt Hou Jiangtao's words, after all, this place was the closest to the automobile company, and the style of the automobile company was notoriously poor in the whole regiment.
