Chapter 63: It's another year of retirement season
Seeing that only the two words of the order were printed in red on the paper full of black letters, which was particularly distinct, Xiang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, then picked it up and read it carefully.
The departure date, December 3, was the same day as the restoration.
Xiang Xiaotian handed the document to Lin Jie, looked up at Song Hai and said, "Company commander, where are we going?" ”
Song Hai's face remained unchanged: "I don't know!" ”
The short answer increased the doubts in Xiang Xiaotian's heart, but he knew that with the character of the company commander, he couldn't get any results if he continued to ask, so he turned his head to look at Lin Jie, ready to listen to his reaction, but before his head was completely turned, he heard Lin Jie's voice blurt out: "Damn, we're going to the special brigade!" ”
Xiang Xiaotian and Xiang Hai looked at Lin Jie with a shocked face at the same time, full of questions in their hearts, of course Song Hai knew where to go, but he didn't want to answer, of course he and Xiang Xiaotian reached an agreement in their hearts at this time: How did he know?
Lin Jie looked at the expressions of the two and scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I also heard about it, I heard about it." ”
The other two had already adapted to Lin Jie's character, so they shook their heads at each other and smiled bitterly!
Song Hai said: "Since you know, I won't hide anything from you, you have to prepare in advance when you know the departure date, and going there on your terms will only be beneficial to your growth, if I hadn't done it at the beginning, I may be a special combat team member now, okay, you go back!" ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look out the window again, but his tone sounded obviously reluctant, he came out of the regular field army, and he had seen too many outstanding talents being poached, and the talents he had worked so hard to cultivate were directly snatched away by others, and it would be uncomfortable to put it on anyone!
"Yes, goodbye company commander!"
After the two said goodbye, Xiang Xiaotian said to Lin Jie in the corridor: "It's a pity that I said you didn't go to the intelligence department." ”
Lin Jie replied disdainfully: "It's because you don't usually pay much attention to these issues, the special brigade directly under the provincial military region, who doesn't know about it in the circle!" ”
Xiang Xiaotian shook his head helplessly and said: "In the circle, you are an actor, you have a dragon face, don't the protagonist's heart every day, it hurts; Forget it, if you want to say it's reluctant, there must be, but it's been a year since we came to the army, and we've changed places so many times, although we're helpless, but we're used to this situation, but I have questions, do you remember what the fox wolf said during sniper training? Even if we go, shouldn't we still be invited by that side? Besides, aren't special forces all selected? How can you give me an appointment directly! ”
Lin Jie shook his head after hearing this: "I don't know, but I think this should be a good thing!" It's just that we have the last few days left, and the rest of the time will be a good time to play with our comrades! ”
Xiang Xiaotian nodded solemnly although he had doubts after hearing this, he agreed with Lin Jie's statement, the first priority at present should be on the veterans' retirement, thinking of this, I feel that so many things have not worn the two of them to death, and there will definitely be a good arrangement, and then he was relieved.
The next few days were all about the various activities carried out by the veterans, but Xiang Xiaotian did not participate much, first, there were a lot of tasks that needed to be deployed because of the problem of manpower, and the most important task of sending troops to the guard also had to be shouldered by them, and the night sentry at night had already made him not have a good night's sleep for a long time.
However, what he thought in his heart was to deliberately avoid these separations, he really couldn't stand that kind of scene, although he believed that now that there were planes, the earth was a village, and as long as he had the heart, he would meet at any time.
But everyone knows in their hearts that the next meeting is far away from each other, and he can't stand the tearful separation that everyone cries for each other.
However, when he learned that December 1 was the time for their former frontier regiment to pedal the car, he still tried his best to apply to meet his old comrades-in-arms and see off Li Jun's squad leader.
In the train station, all kinds of conversations came and went, and Xiang Xiaotian carefully looked for a familiar figure, but several times in vain, so he had to use his 'relationship' to establish a good relationship with the head on duty and let him enter the departure place and wait.
Standing by the train, Xiang Xiaotian ran from the first carriage to the last section, but still did not find the figure of the fourth company.
But just as he was about to turn to the gate of the station, at the moment of turning around, he saw the brothers of the Fourth Company who had been watching him snickering behind him, and standing at the front was Li Jun with a big red flower on his chest.
Seeing Xiang Xiaotian, who was having a seizure, Li Jun said with his usual kind smile: "Actually, we arrived last night, and we went to the camp just now, but I didn't expect you to come with the guard car, so I discussed teasing you." ”
Xiang Xiaotian, who was extremely depressed in his heart, heard the words of the old squad leader and was depressed in the big depression, and he seemed to have a thousand words, but in the end he only said two words:
"Squad leader!"
Li Jun nodded in response, then looked at the green train next to him that was still about to be scrapped and whispered: "I have been a soldier for eight years, and I have led soldiers for seven years, everyone is better than me, but I have to send them home for various reasons, I will come to this train station every year, and this year it is finally my turn." Xiaotian, I'm not a competent squad leader, I haven't changed anything about you, but I can see that you don't have feelings for the army yet, and you don't like it here. You will be reluctant, and that's because you've always wanted to guide your thoughts to those of us before, but I haven't had the opportunity. But I see that you seem to be much more relieved now, because I believe that you will love here more than me in the future, and I can proudly say to anyone: I have dedicated the most precious eight years of my life to the army, I have no regrets about my youth, and this is also the most precious memory of my life! ”
Xiang Xiaotian looked at the familiar face in front of him, listened to the familiar voice, and unconsciously dripped a tear from the corner of his eye.
Seeing Xiang Xiaotian's reaction, Li Jun continued: "We all know about you and Lin Jie's deployment, work hard there, Lin Jie can't do without you, and give them those so-called field troops to see, the quality of our border guards definitely covers them more than one level!" After speaking, he turned his head to the veteran behind him and said, "In this way, everyone come and give us some encouragement to this brother who has achieved our dreams for us!" ”
Just when Xiang Xiaotian bowed his head and wiped his tears, he heard a group of neat and resounding voices in the sky:
"Gentlemen! Come on! ”
Xiang Xiaotian looked at the giggling crowd in front of him, and his emotions were also driven by them, and he smiled at Li Jun with tears in his eyes and said, "I feel like you are here to send me, by the way, what dream have I achieved for you, squad leader!" ”
Li Jun continued to smile and said: "Every soldier has a special forces dream in his heart, and he will realize it for us!" ”
Xiang Xiaotian paused for a moment and nodded solemnly at Li Jun, then took out a small red box from his pocket and said to him: "Squad leader, this is the third-class merit I promised you, although it is not a martial arts competition, but it is always one, as a gift for you, there was originally a second-class merit, but I brought it back to my grandfather." ”
Li Jun took the military medal and carefully put it away! said to Xiang Xiaotian: "Okay, we're going to go!" Remember: Fifty years from now, when will you look back on the most glorious moment of your life, yes, now! ”
