Writing an article?

Chen Beiming glanced at Zhang Wenhua and found that he didn't mean to joke, he was very serious.

"Teacher Zhang, that ..... What theme? Chen Beiming asked.

"There is no limit to the subject matter or anything, as long as it is about the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level." Zhang Wenhua replied with a smile.

Chen Beiming nodded and understood.

To tell the truth, there is not much manuscript fee for writing articles in the military newspaper, and many times racking your brains to write a classic, it is only a few hundred yuan, not to mention the current Chen Beiming, even ordinary people don't take it to heart. However, the publication of articles in military newspapers is very useful for the cultivation of prestige and fame, and the military newspaper is the only and highest-ranking newspaper in the military, and it is said that the supreme commander will read it regularly, let alone ordinary officers. So Chen Beiming accepted this task without hesitation.

He set out early the next morning.

His old squad leader's troops were not in the capital, and of course, they were not far, a distance of more than 500 kilometers, and they arrived by a train in the morning and a car.

However, when he came to the troops, the sun was still setting.

There was a slight delay on the way.

Since he was selected into the Sword Commando, he has never been back here, and it has been almost two years, so coming back at this moment, he is really full of emotion.

A lot of people have been discharged from the military, and many familiar faces are no longer visible.

"Comrade, who are you looking for?" The guards were a little strange when they saw Chen Beiming looking at the barracks in a daze.

Chen Beiming hurriedly took his documents to the other party and explained his intentions, the guards were very enthusiastic and immediately pointed him in the direction.

However, Chen Beiming did not find the old squad leader in the dormitory, and he turned around several places but did not find it, and finally, a soldier pointed to a place for him: "Or ...... You go there and see. ”

There?

Chen Beiming glanced at it, a little strange, but he didn't ask much, just thanked him and turned to go there.

When he approached the hill that the soldier had mentioned, he saw a man sitting on it, but he couldn't see it clearly.

Chen Beiming hurriedly trotted a few steps.

Sure enough, it was the old squad leader.

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on the grass, looking down at the whole camp, and the rays of the setting sun shone from that side, stretching his shadow long, long.

"Squad leader!" Chen Beiming trotted over, looking a little excited.

Wang Jia was stunned for a moment. He didn't notice Chen Beiming's appearance, he was in a daze.

"Ah, hill...... How are you? When she saw Chen Beiming clearly, Wang Jia looked very happy and quickly stood up.

"Squad leader!" Chen Beiming walked over and hugged him, and both of them slapped each other on the back a few times.

"Squad leader, why are you here alone? Want a girlfriend? Chen Beiming and Wang Jia sat cross-legged on the ground together, looking at the camp and chatting.

"Xiaoshan, look, we're pretty here, aren't we?" Wang Jia did not answer Chen Beiming's question, but pointed to the barracks with his finger.

Chen Beiming glanced at the barracks.

The whole camp is located in a valley, surrounded by majestic mountains, the camp is surrounded by forests, green, at this moment, the last sunlight from the top of the mountain obliquely shines down, smearing the whole camp with a layer of pale golden light, really beautiful.

"This is definitely the most beautiful barracks I've ever seen." Chen Beiming looked at it for a while and replied with emotion.

"Yes, what a beautiful barracks, but soon I won't see it again." Wang Jia let out a long sigh, infinitely reluctant.

"Squad leader, what do you mean?" Chen Beiming was stunned.

"At the end of the year, I should be professional." The old squad leader glanced at him and smiled bitterly.

"Changing jobs?" Chen Beiming was stunned.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that the old squad leader had been in the army for many years. According to the regulations, if you can't be promoted to the rank of second lieutenant this year, you have to change jobs.

But the problem is that there are so many non-commissioned officers in the army, and very few can be promoted to lieutenants every year.

Thinking of this question, Chen Beiming's heart couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

At this moment, the officer system has not been reformed, and the only way out for non-commissioned officers is to be promoted to lieutenants, otherwise they will have to change careers.

Seeing that Chen Beiming's face was full of gloomy clouds, the old squad leader laughed instead: "What are you doing with a sad face, it's not that you changed jobs?" Let's go, I'll show you around. ”

He stood up as he spoke.

Chen Beiming didn't speak, he didn't know what to say, his heart was uncomfortable, so he just stood up with the old squad leader and followed him into the barracks.

"Look at this tree, it's so tall!" When he walked to a big tree, the old squad leader stopped and patted the trunk with his hand: "This was planted when I first joined the army, but I didn't expect it to be seven or eight meters tall now, do you remember, the first year you joined the army, you still cried here......

Speaking of the past, the old squad leader's face was filled with a smile.

After walking more than ten meters, the old squad leader suddenly pointed to a mound with his hand: "Do you remember there?" Back then, the big dog used to bring you here to smoke secretly, and you still think I don't know, don't you? ”

Speaking of this, a smug smile suddenly appeared on the old squad leader's face, and the scenes of the past clearly appeared in his heart.

"Huh? No way? Old squad leader, can this also be discovered by you? Chen Beiming was taken aback.

Back then, every time the big dog couldn't stay up and was addicted to smoking, he always pulled him up and told him to keep watch next to him, he always thought that he was doing a good job and it was impossible to be discovered.

"Every group of recruits who come to the barracks thinks that this is the safest place, and they will come here to smoke secretly, in fact, we know better than anyone that the reason why we don't arrest you is that I don't want to arrest you, because when I was a recruit, I also came here to smoke secretly, didn't expect it? Hahahaha......"

Seeing Chen Beiming's stunned appearance, the old squad leader couldn't help laughing, but with a smile and a smile, a faint reluctance suddenly appeared on his face: "Alas-this year, I'm afraid that I will never come back in this life, and I will never have the opportunity to watch the recruits smoke secretly." ”

The old squad leader took Chen Beiming to turn around the entire barracks, and he could tell a lot of stories everywhere he went, what happened here in which year and year, and what happened in which year.

It can be seen that the old squad leader is full of feelings for every grass and tree here.

But at the end of the year, he will change jobs, his hometown is thousands of kilometers away from here, this walk, this life, I am afraid that I will never have a chance to come back, so from now on, he began to walk the entire military camp every day, and he wants to firmly engrave every grass and stone here in his heart.

"My youth—it's all here!"

At the moment when the last ray of sunshine also disappeared, the old squad leader raised his head and sighed with infinite emotion.
