Chapter 12 Military-Civilian Friendship
As is often the case, the less anxious the person is, the more others will help to figure it out.
Just when the new company commander came to the company and we were busy raising our standards, the instructor found me, and the instructor told me that the regiment was organizing a social activity next week, and he had already signed me up for it, and he had forgotten to tell me, and he asked me to look at the activity plan and prepare for it. I was taken aback by this news, I didn't expect the instructor to really help me think about the object of the conversation, but now that I am so busy, I will be assessed immediately, how can I have time to socialize. No matter how I said that I was not in a hurry, it was useless to prepare for the assessment first, and the instructor said that the superiors had arranged it and that I had to participate.
When Yang Tian heard that I was going to participate in the sorority, he said to me with envy: "I got married without even participating in the sorority, you are so good, and you still have the opportunity to participate in the sorority." Come back and tell me what the sorority is like. ”
I said with little interest: "Hey, what's the use of participating, with my appearance, it's doomed to fail, and no one will take a fancy to it." ”
Yang Tian said: "In fact, what girls value is not necessarily their looks, some pay more attention to their hearts, to see if you have a sense of responsibility, to see if you are self-motivated, and so on, not all girls are so and snobbish." ”
After listening to Yang Tian's words, I felt a little, and when I thought about it, yes, I just had too low self-esteem and too little confidence in my appearance, so that I got into the tip of the horns. Can't you find a partner for the ugly ones? I see a lot of people in my life who are uglier than me, who are older than me, who are looking for better people, and of course, most of them are rich.
Despite this, I still had some confidence and courage to participate in this sorority.
The sorority was held on Saturday morning as scheduled in the auditorium of the prefectural cultural center.
According to the requirements of the organizers, I came to the cultural center in a military uniform, and when I walked into the auditorium, I found that I was not the first one, but also the latest. At this time, the auditorium was already bustling with joy, revealing festivity and joy everywhere.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the activity started on time. Ten men and ten women sat behind two rows of tables opposite each other, and the male guests were all soldiers of the 15th Frontier Regiment, both officers and non-commissioned officers. The female guests are all unmarried young women of appropriate age recruited by the Muhe County Women's Federation through various means.
When ready, the host stands in center of the stage and announces "The sorority is now on!" ”
After the start of the sorority, the host introduced that there were four activities in the sorority, the first of which was "a thousand miles of marriage". The name sounds very elegant, in fact, the content is very simple and old-fashioned, that is, male and female guests choose each other's favorite objects, first male and female guests introduce themselves separately, and then enter the number of the favorite object on the computer in front of them, and the host will check the matching.
Although I knew in my heart that I didn't have much hope, I believed that there would still be people who would be captivated by my inner charm, and I was a little narcissistic. I listened carefully to the female guest's self-introduction. There are a total of ten female guests, 5 of whom are teachers, a kindergarten teacher, two primary school teachers, two junior high school teachers, the teacher obviously has the characteristics of a teacher, no matter how fashionable the dress is, no matter how different the object of education, they still have some similarities, the teacher's similarity, mainly in the temperament, revealing the slightest intellectuality, which is a temperament that has been gradually formed by patiently educating students for a long time, which is a unique temperament. Just like a soldier, no matter how long he has been a soldier, no matter how high or low his ability and quality are, as long as he has been a soldier, he naturally reveals a resolute and tenacious temperament. For these five teachers, I also paid special attention to it, especially the third female guest, a junior high school teacher, very tall, estimated to be 1.7 meters, with long hair, delicate and sweet appearance, fair skin, is my favorite type. It's a pity that after she glanced at me at the beginning, she never looked in my direction again. I'm definitely out of play. But I don't care, since you don't like me, I won't be so sentimental as to be sad that you ignore me.
Among the other five female guests, two female guests work in the cultural center and introduce themselves as staff members, but from the clothes that are more revealing than the others, and the charming smiles on their faces, I guess they should be actresses who often rehearse and participate in performances, and I seem to be able to smell their perfume from afar, but the two of them are really attractive, and the eyes of the ten male guests are more attracted to these two people, of course, I also looked at them twice.
There is also a female guest who works in the Women's Federation, this female guest should usually have more contact with aunts and aunts, speaking with one mouth, with a sharp voice, speaking very fast, just like quarreling with people, pouring beans and crackling, I didn't hear it clearly, only remembered one sentence, I work in the Women's Federation. For me, all the words that follow are a visual explanation.
There is also a female guest who opened her own clothing store, and her dress is really trendy, and she seems to be at the forefront of fashion in Muhe County. I reckon her clothing store business should be good.
The last female guest in particular caught my attention because she had a somewhat different job, being a yoga instructor working at the only yoga studio in Muhe County. Her name is Wang Ruoshi. This is the only name I remember among the ten female guests, a special profession, a special name. Before the start of the sorority, I secretly observed the female guests one by one, and I felt that this female guest had a very special temperament, the height was not very high, it was estimated that it should be about one meter six, but she showed a high-spirited attitude, her figure was a little thin, but she revealed a strong energy, a slightly round face, Qi bangs, big eyes, long hair, fair skin, and looked very lively, cute and energetic. It wasn't until I heard her introduce herself that it dawned on me that this was the temperament of practicing yoga for a long time. Terrible! I was secretly amazed in my heart. So, from the time I entered the venue and found this female guest to the end of the sorority, my eyes always glanced at her from time to time, attracted by her unique temperament.
After the introduction of the female guests, to the introduction of the male guests, because they are all soldiers of the 15th Frontier Regiment, everyone's self-introduction is also the same, basically my name is so-and-so, I am a soldier, what is my position, and where is my home. The female guests pay more attention to their appearance and position, ten male guests, five non-commissioned officers, two platoon commanders, two deputy company commanders, and one deputy instructor.
Before the sorority began, I also got some news in everyone's small talk. Among the ten male guests, the most legendary experience is the deputy instructor, he is the deputy instructor of the fourth company of the first battalion, called Yu Xueren, has participated in the sorority three times, and is relatively famous among the unmarried young women in the entire Muhe County. This kind of situation, as soon as it spreads ten, ten to hundred, it adds a legend to Yu Xueren's experience, and along with it is a resounding nickname, "Prince of Friendship", it is said that some unmarried young women spread the word that this party must conquer the "Prince of Friendship".
I'm the number 10 male guest, and by the time I introduced, I was the last. Because it was the first time to participate in such a show, when the girls on the other side were watching me, when I picked up the microphone, my hands trembled, and my tongue was a little hard, although I repeatedly told myself in my heart that I was just here to see the fun, and I didn't have much hope, what was there to be nervous about, but the nervousness was not controlled by anyone, and I was still very nervous. In order to avoid saying the wrong thing, or stuttering and embarrassing, I only said one sentence: "Gao Xiaofei, platoon commander of the third company of the first battalion, it's a pleasure to meet everyone!" ”
In the link that just introduced himself, the most brilliant was the No. 6 male guest, Chu Renjie, deputy company commander of the seventh company of the second battalion, who said in a very impassioned tone: "I am Chu Renjie, deputy company commander of the seventh company of the second battalion, as a soldier, I love my motherland, and I love my profession even more, I will do my best to work hard to struggle, shoulder the responsibility on my shoulders, and protect the peace of the frontier." I hope that there is someone who can accompany me and support me, and I will use everything I have to protect her. After Chu Renjie finished speaking, the audience burst into applause, and all the female guests looked at him. Seeing him cocking his tail proudly, I also slapped a few times, and at the same time I was jealous and envious. Since I was a child, my eloquence has not been good, in front of outsiders, I rarely speak, and sometimes I want to speak, but I just don't know what to say, I can't say it. Later, when I went to middle school to study biology, I thought that the area of my brain responsible for language must be underdeveloped, which caused me to have problems speaking. When I was young, when relatives and friends came to the house, my grandmother always asked me to talk, but I just didn't know what to say, and my grandmother called my grandson stupid. Over time, I really couldn't speak. In front of unfamiliar people, I rarely speak. Just like the last time Yang Tian introduced the object, I also said two or three sentences.
