Chapter 14: Homecoming
Dinner, cafeteria!
Xiang Xiaotian's old problem is still very quick to finish eating, today's food is not bad, there is stewed mutton, in summer it is good to say that you can meet the herdsmen to send one, in winter it is a rarity, wash the dishes and chopsticks, out of the canteen and walk to the class, then I heard a voice from the door sentry: "Company commander, instructor is good!" ”
"The company commander and instructor are back!" Xiang Xiaotian thought of it in his heart, so he turned his head to look to the left, and saw the two captains walking to the courtyard in an orderly manner with a platoon of soldiers behind them.
"Just in time for dinner, everyone will go back and unload the equipment first, and then don't gather, the class is the unit, organize the meal by yourself." It was a tall and chubby captain who spoke.
"Yes!" The neat voice remembered, and then walked towards their respective classes with neat steps.
The strange thing is that Xiang Xiaotian was still staring at that side blankly, and actually entered a fugue state.
The captain who spoke just now looked at Xiang Xiaotian in a daze and asked, "That soldier, what are you looking at!" ”
Xiang Xiaotian replied: "Report to the company commander, it's nothing!" ”
The instructor smiled and didn't go back to the company headquarters, but walked over to him and said, "What company commander, I'm the instructor, by the way, I remember, I remember reading your information, you are Xiang Xiaotian, two college students in our company." ”
Xiang Xiaotian immediately replied: "Report to the instructor, yes, from North China Normal School." ”
The instructor smiled after hearing this: "Hey, that's a coincidence!" I'm also a teacher, but I'm in the northwest, so let's not talk about it, I'll clean up first, and I'll talk to you another day. ”
"Yes, Instructor!" Xiang Xiaotian gave a military salute and replied, still glad that the leader ended the conversation first, otherwise he really had no topic to continue.
Xiang Xiaotian returned to the class and saw that his comrades-in-arms had not come back, so he took out a book called "The Last Bullet Left for Me" from under the quilt and read it.
Xiang Xiaotian looked at the cover of the book and complained to himself: "I heard that the TV series called "I Am a Special Soldier" was changed from this novel, and I don't know if it looks like it, and now the film and television series adapted from the novel are too disrespectful to the original, they are just two feelings." ”
After dinner, the brothers in the class came back one after another, and they were all in the midst of a brief break, when they heard a whistle and then accompanied: "All assemble in the activity room." ”
Xiang Xiaotian raised his hand and looked at his watch, seven o'clock, according to the schedule now, it should be to watch the news. This watch was bought for fifteen yuan on the side of the road when he went out to shop during the New Year, and for Xiang Xiaotian, who has always been picky, spending fifteen yuan to buy such a broken watch is more uncomfortable than making three or three hundred at night.
Today's people are more uniform, the small club is full of people, and some of them don't have tables, so they just hold benches and stick them in the gaps inside.
The TV is an old-fashioned 29-inch big butt TV,Now it's all LCD outside,It's hard to buy this kind of thing.,Naturally,Where there's no signal,Not to mention the TV station.。
In fact, once the head of the military region went up the mountain to inspect the work, and after seeing the situation of the border defense company, he was concerned about the soldiers' after-school life, and also asked for a set-top box or something. But who would have thought, let alone in the mountains, it is very difficult to receive Taiwan from the mainland in this place in Province Z!
On the contrary, after the set-top box was equipped, not many programs in the mainland were received, and occasionally a foreign station could be stringed, causing a bunch of religious brothers wearing turbans to raise guns and parade on television.
Now I can only occasionally look at the central station with snowflakes, and most of them still take this opportunity to take a breath and chat.
It seems that the method of repairing TVs all over the world is the same, Zhuo Platoon Commander slapped the chassis twice, looked at the screen full of snowflakes and scolded: "Fainted, and there is no stage, let's talk in a whisper, I'll go find the company commander!" After saying that, he walked out directly.
After a while, I saw the company commander's instructor walking in with a notebook, and the platoon commander Lin followed last.
"No need to report, let's do a good job!" The one who spoke was a captain who was more than one meter eight and had a thin body, Xiang Xiaotian thought that this should be the company commander, in fact, except for Xiang Xiaotian, many recruits were just in the canteen, and they glanced at it hurriedly, and they didn't know who was who.
The first to speak was the company commander: "Hello everyone, new comrades-in-arms! My name is Song Hai, I am the company commander of our fourth company, and the task of our company, I think everyone has been here for two days. I won't talk about it much, just to emphasize one point to you, I will basically say every time in the past three years, don't think that we are in the mountains all year round to carry out tasks, because the conditions are difficult to ignore their own military training, you must remember that we are soldiers, if there is no good physical fitness, even if you do not fight, you will encounter an accident in the performance of the mission, and the injured can only be yourself, so the new comrades in this one-month buffer period, I will personally lead the team to help you get off to a good start, okay, let the instructor speak to you! Company Commander Song finished speaking with an expressionless face, this is a typical military style, speaking directly and without any emotion.
"Hehe, everyone! My name is Zheng Hui, the same name as your platoon leader, I am your instructor, everyone will get used to it after a few days! It's normal to feel uncomfortable, just like the company commander said, wait for him to help you get through the first month of adaptation. What about our mountain, it's relatively boring, and there are usually no after-school activities, just such a broken TV, you have also seen it, so you can put forward any good ideas for after-school activities, we will try our best to meet everyone, I won't say much about the task, about sentry, duty, etc., you will slowly come into contact with it, I am here to tell you about our unity, you have also seen it, in our mountain, no more than what you see on TV, what is the large-scale action of a regiment and a division, just dozens of people, Therefore, if there are any problems between us, we must not make mistakes, the problems cannot be solved by ourselves, we can reflect them step by step, work, life, we must communicate more......"
Facing the instructor's incessant talk, Xiang Xiaotian thought in his heart: This kind of political work is really terrible, let alone listening to these things, people who don't even distinguish between going to and from class, hearing these words is simply torture. If you were in school and fell asleep on the table, but now you can't do it, you are annoying, even the chief is speaking on the top, you have to straighten your waist, put your head straight, and look forward intently, fortunately, Xiang Xiaotian is in a daze and has a strong kung fu, and you can pass the time with random thoughts, but you can't help but listen, there was a time in the recruit company, the recruit company commander was talking on the top and suddenly saw a distracted Xiang Xiaotian floating over a question, and he was stupid and said to the school so relaxed, I don't know, the company commander didn't say anything at the time, But when I go back, I let the squad leader have a stinky practice.
Xiang Xiaotian was very helpless in his heart, and at this time, he saw Lin Jie, who was sitting in the same row as him, also glanced at him helplessly, and it seemed that these two people had a good heart.
