176 I don't need to
Xiao Zhan was recuperating from his injuries, his back was almost completely rotten, and it was miserable, but it was a fact that he saved the lives of an entire village.
Therefore, the school held a special commendation meeting to make meritorious contributions to Xiao Zhan, Cao Di, and Huo Xiaogang who saved people, and at the same time to find all the students in the school to take them as an example and learn from them.
"Comrade Xiao Zhan, in view of your heroic performance in discovering the mudslide in time during the training process and saving the 103 villagers in the whole village in time, I am specially commended for your second-class meritorious service, this is your medal, put it away."
The principal personally took the second-class merit medal to the ward and handed it to Xiao Zhan with his own hands.
"Headmaster, I just did what I had to do, that's all." Xiao Zhan, who was lying on the bed, said with a smile: "I didn't come to be a soldier to receive awards for meritorious service, so forget about this honor." ”
Xiao Zhan was not polite, but he really felt that it was unnecessary.
What you do is what you should do, and since it is what you should do, you don't need honor.
What sanitation workers should do is sweep the streets; What teachers should do is to teach and educate people; What celebrities should do is to entertain the public.
It's just to do your job well, do you need honor?
Some people need it, and even say that most people need it, because this honor means a future and a better way forward, but Xiao Zhan feels from the bottom of his heart that this honor should not be his.
"Comrade Xiao Zhan, if you can do your job well, you should be honored." The principal said solemnly.
"Headmaster, the honor of our bureau should be given to the sacrificed, not to the living." Xiao Zhan shook his head and said: "Those who die need these more, their lives are gone, it's always good to give more honor, at least the photo can be hung in the honor room, and it can be admired and worshiped by the recruits." The transmission of the spirit requires honor, as for the ...... who survived Just do your job. ”
The words made the principal's face full of contemplation, but he knew that Xiao Zhan would not want this honor.
He has seen many soldiers, whether new or veteran, whether excellent or thorny, when they encounter honor, they will be extremely excited, and say all kinds of heartfelt words of gratitude.
But there is never a person who rejects a second-class merit lightly, because the gold content of second-class merit is too great.
No soldier can refuse honor, and that represents recognition.
"The second-class merit has been applied, and what is yours is yours." The headmaster said earnestly: "You deserve it, so ......"
"Headmaster, I really don't want to." Xiao Zhan continued to shake his head.
There was some embarrassment in the ward, Xiao Zhan didn't want second-class merit.
In the end, the principal was helpless, cured him and encouraged him a few words, told him to take care of his injuries, and then walked out and took away the second-class meritorious medal.
The little nurse in charge of taking care of Xiao Zhan looked surprised.
"Xiao Zhan, this is a second-class merit, when you return to the place after you leave the army, the public procuratorate and law enforcement unit will pick and choose, why don't you want it?" The nurse whispered.
"What if you don't leave the army? Does this stuff work? Xiao Zhan asked.
"Of course it's useful, you can lift it up." The little nurse said: "When you graduate from school, you will be a second lieutenant, and if you have a second-class merit, the speed of promotion will be fast, and if there is anything good, the leader will think of you first." ”
This is not bad at all, to promote cadres, of course, you have to see whether there is merit or not, and this is the same everywhere.
"What if I'm just a soldier and not an officer? Did it work? Xiao Zhan said with a smile.
"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier!"
"Hey, hey."
Xiao Zhan hehehe, his eyes quickly swept the little nurse's flat chest, and he didn't have any appetite at all, although he wanted to eat it very much.
He didn't want to continue to explain to the other party, because everyone's thinking was not at the same level.
Xiao Zhan felt that his lifelong career was a soldier, and a soldier was still the kind of soldier who did not need honor.
It's not an enlightenment, it's that he feels like that's what he should be, brought out in his bones.
……
Cao Di's six people finally no longer enjoyed the privileges, and they began to follow the training and study of the army every day, serious and meticulous, no matter how hard and tired they were, they did not say a word.
Talented? Wizard?
When they had in-depth contact with Xiao Zhan, they realized that their aura bullshit was not.
Before the mudslide rescue incident, they only gave in to Xiao Zhan on the surface, but after this incident, they were convinced.
The reason is very simple, what Xiao Zhan can do, they can't do, a person with a sense of justice and a sense of mission is worthy of their admiration and respect.
Therefore, the six guys really regarded Xiao Zhan as the boss, and after returning from training every day, they would hang around in front of the bed.
"Boss, you are stupid, second-class merit, you exchanged your life for it, don't do it in vain!"
"This is a good thing, a few of us have also been stained, mixed with a third-class merit, hehehe......"
“……”
A few guys began to show off their military medals, and their faces were beautiful.
"During the Anti-Japanese War, how many Red Army soldiers did we sacrifice?" Xiao Zhan asked.
"Oh, that's a lot."
"And how many of them have honor?"
"This ......"
There are too many sacrifices, and many of them don't even have their names left, let alone honor?
No, they have honor, but it's a pity that posterity can't see it.
"Honor is not for the living, but for the sacrificed warriors." Xiao Zhan shook his head and said, "Everyone is gone, you have to leave a name, don't you?" Do your own job, don't always think about honor. If you really regard me as the boss, listen to me and return the military medal. ”
"Uh...... I finally got ......."
"If you follow me, you'll never get these things, unless you don't mess with me." Xiao Zhan said it directly to the end.
"Uh...... Go back, go back, what's the use of asking for this thing that can't be eaten or drunk? ”
"That's right, even if you take it out and pretend to be X, it's not enough, it's only a third-class skill."
"Let's go and return it to the school."
“……”
A few guys pinched the military merit medal and ran out to find the principal, compared to a third-class merit, they were still willing to follow Xiao Zhan.
There is no one in the entire school who can make them obey, except Xiao Zhan.
Lei Bing walked into the ward.
"You asked them to return the medal? What do you mean? Lei Bing asked with a frown.
This kind of thing can be big or small, it is a reward issued by the superior, not if you want it, if you don't want it, you don't want it.
"I'm afraid they'll get lost." Xiao Zhan grinned: "Utilitarianism is the most terrifying, once a soldier has a utilitarian heart, it is easy to fall into the pursuit of utilitarianism." I think they're very good, and if you squeeze me and let me clean them up, don't you just send me a few soldiers? Lei Bing, although I can't remember the past, I'm really not stupid. ”
Lei Bing looked at Xiao Zhan for a long time and nodded slightly.
"By the way, you promised me, 303-" Xiao Zhan reminded Lei Bing.
"That's all you want to know about 303?"
Xiao Zhan glared: "Nonsense, your pants are all off, you told me that the eldest aunt is here?" ”
Lei Bing furrowed her brows, she wanted Xiao Zhan to know, but she didn't want Xiao Zhan to know.
