"Command!"

"Chinese People's Liberation Army...... 385 regiment...... The list of retired personnel is as follows: "

"Geng Zhi!"

……

"Horse guards!"

……

"Li Pengfei!"

……。

Lao Liu stood at the front of the team, shouting the name of each veteran loudly, and when he finished reading, Zhang Junbao silently shouted in his heart, "Li Bing!" ”

The music of "Happy Journey" sounded from the loudspeakers, and the whole barracks seemed to be playing this sad song of parting.

"Officers and soldiers left behind, turn back!"

With an order, the officers and soldiers who stood in the singular arrangement turned neatly behind them, and Zhang Junbao was facing Da Fei.

"Remove the rank!"

As soon as Lao Liu's voice fell, some of the veterans standing in the first row cried.

Geng Zhi stands at the front of the veterans, and Lao Liu will personally remove his rank.

The two have been fighting side by side for more than ten years, and this difference is not known when it will be a head.

"Brother Fei, I'm ......," Zhang Junbao's eyes were very red, and he said that he wouldn't cry, but his eyes always felt sour, and he was a little angry.

In a few moments, his tears fell.

"You're crying, hurry up and give me a military rank."

Da Fei laughed and scolded and hammered his chest twice, his split mouth with a wry smile, and the snot had already flowed to the corners of his mouth.

He was crying too.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.

This difference is the north and the south, and goodbye is also far away.

Zhang Junbao unbuttoned Da Fei's collar, and then reached out and began to take off his rank.

The veterans of Class 13 did not have many opportunities to wear regular clothes, and most of the time they ran around the grassland in vests and trousers blowing the northwest wind.

Da Fei's regular clothes looked like new, the screws on the epaulettes were tightened, and his movements were slow.

"Squad leader, I can't bear you."

Zhang Junbao still cried, and the tears couldn't stop falling, blurring his vision and not seeing the front clearly.

Da Fei suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged him in his arms, and muttered in his ear: "I know why the soldier is leaving, he must be afraid to cry." ”

"Junbao, if you have the opportunity to come to Hohhot to find me in the future, I will invite you to eat roast whole sheep."

The two big men hugged each other and wiped their noses and tears on each other's bodies, and said incoherent words, and the whole room was filled with crying.

The music in the loudspeaker changed, and as soon as the sound of "Don't Barracks" came out, a large group of crying old men all sang along.

"At the last moment, it feels like time is in a hurry,"

"It's also at this moment, but the mood is so heavy,"

"Originally, it was good to see me off with a smile,"

"But how can I say that some eyes are full of tears."

"Finally, on this day, I also set foot on my return journey,"

"Say goodbye to the paths and figures that were once familiar,"

"Say goodbye to the dream of how many laughs I once had,"

"Look back, wave your hand, and say softly,"

"Goodbye, comrade-in-arms, goodbye, barracks,"

"Goodbye to the place where I lived,"

……

When the song fell, everyone's eyes were filled with tears, and it was only on this day of the year that they could be so free and easy, so debauched.

If anyone says anything about the rules on this day, it's going to be a shitty beating.

"I've heard a few words about it all!"

At the front of the team, Lao Liu didn't use a microphone, and began to shout at the top of his voice: "You are about to leave the army, but I tell you, you are a soldier for one day, and you will be a soldier for a lifetime." ”

"When you return to the place after retiring from the army, you are a man who will do something fucking, don't be poked in the backbone and scolded by the people in your hometown."

"I have only one request, to retire from the army without fading, and I hope that the soldiers I bring out can do this."

"Can you do it?"

"Yes!"

"I can't hear you!"

"Yes!"

The officers and men shouted loudly at the top of their voices, but their eyes became more and more confused.

After announcing the discharge order and removing the ranks, these veterans who waited to go home were black households.

The ceremony of unloading the military rank was not very long, and after the disbandment, the veterans all ran back to their respective dormitories, and then handed over military supplies such as ranks, collar flowers, armbands, and clothes to the secretary general.

When a veteran retires from the army, all he can take away is a winter uniform with his rank removed.

Also, it used to belong to the best memories of youth.

The veterans' discharge is almost complete by now, and all that remains is to put the veterans on the parting train and go their separate ways.

That night, the veterans did not turn off the lights, one by one shouted and played cards in the house, and some of them silently hid in a corner and secretly wiped their tears.

Lao Liu, the deputy company commander, and the four platoon commanders all ran up, and they wanted to accompany the veteran to play again.

At twelve o'clock at night, Zhang Junbao was sleeping in bed in a daze, when he heard the sound of a battle alarm downstairs.

"Battle Alert!"

Zhang Junbao came to his senses all of a sudden, immediately found his shoes and put them on, and then ran downstairs with a slump.

The veterans who were playing and crying were faster, and a few bold birdmen jumped directly from the window when they reached the second floor, and Zhang Junbao was stunned for a while.

He wanted to follow the example of those veterans and jump down handsomely, but when he thought of his injured two feet, he reluctantly gave up.

In a minute and a half, all the officers and soldiers of the company stood in front of Lao Liu.

The flickering red siren stopped, and the dim light in the corridor shone on Lao Liu's body at the door, which looked a little heavy.

"Not bad!"

"Knowing that you have discharged from the army, you have not forgotten that you are a soldier!"

"I want to tell you, although you have left the army, you are still soldiers!"

"If there is a war, the recall will be returned!"

"Use me in the first battle, use me to win!"

"This is a soldier!"

……

An emergency gathering made Zhang Junbao no longer have a trace of sleep, and the veterans who lived with him were the opposite, and after they came back, they slept one by one and snored.

I don't know if these guys are competing to see whose voice is louder, maybe one day after leaving, they won't be able to hear the familiar snoring, and they probably won't be able to sleep.

There is still a whole year to go, and it will be his turn to be discharged from the army, and no one knows what it will be like when the time comes.

Unconsciously, he has been a soldier for a year, and he usually has no chance to make a phone call home, but these days in the company, Zhang Junbao has replaced almost all the allowances on his body with a calling card, and then frantically called his family and classmates.

He didn't know why, and he didn't understand the feeling in his heart.

Maybe it's because the grass in his heart is growing too fast and looks out of place in ......the city, his head is a mess, and sometimes he really worries that one day he will go crazy.

As soon as the next morning dawned, he habitually opened his eyes, and he didn't know what time he fell asleep at night, and he didn't know what to do today.

After surviving the morning, the noodles that I ate at noon in the cooking class made Zhang Junbao feel a little unhappy.

These days, he eats the company's food, and he feels that his little belly is about to get up, and he eats and drinks with the veterans, and he doesn't dare to say that he drinks wine every day, and the delicious food is waiting, but it is not too much, and the drinks are mixed with the taste these days.

On the way back to the dormitory, he also complained to Lao Geng, which may be the last thing he complained about with the squad leader.

"You stupid boy, the cooking class is preparing for the dinner party in the evening, just deal with it casually at noon, you still take it seriously."

Zhang Junbao pursed his lips and patted his stomach, now that he goes back to the grassland, can he still eat that cold and hard steamed bun?

It's a strange contradiction.
