After graduating from college, joining the army as a soldier was unexpected by many people. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info When Yang Wenbin called and told his aunt that he had signed up to work in the army, the grandma on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Mom and Dad respect your own choice, no matter what work you do, you must do it well!" ”

I remembered the nursery rhyme in my ears again: "When the rain is falling, Beijing calls me and asks me to be a soldier, and I haven't grown up yet." "Being a soldier is every boy's dream. Once, when I was in my second year of junior high school, when I saw my classmates wearing the big-brimmed hats brought back by their relatives who were soldiers, I was so envious that I rushed to put it on my head like other male classmates, and took a beautiful photo as a souvenir.

In fact, there is no shortage of soldiers around him. For example, his three masters are one of them. The three masters are veterans who participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Listening to him, the purpose of joining the army was to have a full meal. At that time, I was asking for food on the side of the street when I heard the passing team say that the soldiers could eat enough, so I happily followed the team to join the soldiers. Who knows, this is the first team to pass through the hometown. In the battle of Zhangwu, his unit was surrounded by the People's Liberation Army, and the machine guns were set up on the roof, and the battle lasted all night. After dawn, the rest were captured by the PLA. Because his family was poor and poor peasants, he was not dismissed, but joined the Fourth Field Army under Lin Biao's account, became a glorious PLA soldier, and fought together from the northeast to Zhennanguan in Guangxi. Soon, he was among the first to enter the DPRK and participated in one to five battles, and died nine times. After returning from North Korea in 58, he was also demobilized, returned to the countryside, and became an ordinary peasant. When I was a child, I saw a photo of the three masters wearing a big-brimmed hat, and I thought it was ***!

However, because he was the only son in the family and his thin body, he had no chance to be a soldier, and he never thought that he would become a soldier. After graduating from junior high school, Yang Wenbin was admitted to the Provincial Normal School with excellent grades and dreamed of becoming a primary school teacher in the future. After four years of hard study, due to his excellent grades, he was sent to the Provincial Normal University for further study, becoming a college student, and missing out on being a soldier.

However, I never thought that there would be an opportunity to be a soldier in this life.

It was the spring of my senior year of college, probably in May. While most of the students are worried about their assignment after graduation, Yang Wenbin is also worried about the future.

Because, eight years of normal life have exhausted his family's money. Although the food allowance and scholarship provided by the school can fill his stomach, he still has to pay tuition and miscellaneous fees. As farmers, his parents were already in debt to provide him with tuition and living expenses for his schooling. I don't want to go back to a middle school in the countryside to teach. And to change your destiny, asking someone to find a job is the best choice. However, despite the allocation of the state package, it is very difficult to stay in the county. If you don't find someone and don't spend money, can you do it? He is determined that he must not let his parents worry about him anymore, and he must share his parents' worries.

That's when the opportunity came.

On that day, the counselor informed the students that this year, the army would come to the school to recruit cadres, and they would go to room 312 of the school department for a meeting at 9 a.m. if they wanted to sign up.

Yang Wenbin, who was worried about his future, rushed to the doctor when he was ill, and with the idea of giving it a try, he went to the meeting according to the time requirements. When he entered the room, there was a major in the room, sitting at the table with a lieutenant. It was already crowded with male students who had come to sign up with various mentalities.

The major felt that the time was almost up, looked at his watch, and began his opening remarks: "We are from the cadre department of the XX Group Army of the Army, and everyone is welcome to sign up for the army." Recruiting cadres from among local college graduates is a major policy decision made by the Central Military Commission, and it plays a very important role in improving the source of officers and enhancing the quality of officers. In order to win a local war under modern conditions and enhance national defense capability, the troops urgently need talented people like you to fill the front line of the troops. I hope that you will bring your pen to realize the greater value of life. I welcome you on behalf of the XX Army", after a pause, he continued, "Now, please your senior brother, your last college graduates to give you a briefing!" ”

Then, the lieutenant came into play. "Hello everyone! I am Sun Liang, a graduate of the 9X class of the Chinese Department of our university! Now, in light of my own reality, I would like to give you a brief introduction to the situation of the troops. Then, he briefly introduced the treatment and feelings after being a soldier, and said, "After our undergraduate graduates join the army, if they really adapt to the army, they will be like fish in water." After joining the army, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant, and after two years, he could become a company commander instructor; After five years, he can become a battalion commander and instructor; Eight years later, he can be promoted to a regiment-level cadre! Four modern generations, the most important of which is the modernization of national defense. I hope that all of you can become my comrades-in-arms, let us dedicate our youth and blood to the cause of national defense, and realize the value of our lives! ”

Then, he gave everyone a standard military salute. Inside the house, thunderous applause rang out, which lasted for a long time.

Most of the students signed their names, faculties and majors in the registration book.

At that moment, Yang Wenbin was moved. Thinking of China's century-old history of humiliation, thinking of being beaten if it is backward, thinking of how handsome he looks in a military uniform, and thinking of his parents not having to worry about their work...... He also wrote his name and profession in the signature book.

After returning to the dormitory, there was no follow-up to this matter, and it was gradually forgotten by everyone. I started all kinds of interviews and rushes again.

Suddenly, a month later, in the afternoon, Yang Wenbin received a notice from the department that he would gather in front of the main building of the school department at 9 a.m. tomorrow to go to the military hospital to participate in the physical examination. Hearing the news, he was a little excited. I thought there was no hope, but now it seems that there is still hope, and there is even more hope.

The next day, Yang Yunfeng, Li Zheng, and Sun Bo from their department came to the main building of the school together, and together with students from other departments, boarded the bus parked there and set off towards an unknown destination.

Previously, I heard that the conditions for conscription were very strict. Is your body qualified? Yang Wenbin seemed to be carrying fifteen rabbits in his heart, seven up and eight down. Eyesight, I must be fine, anything else, what else to check?

After about an hour's drive, the bus passed through the city and stopped in front of a beautiful compound on the outskirts of the city, which prominently read "Chinese People's Liberation Army No. 2XX Hospital".

When they entered the hospital, everyone received a physical examination form in order.

At the door of each room for the physical examination, there is a white curtain with large red characters written on it, such as internal medicine, surgery, skin, facial features, perspective, and infectious diseases.

Due to the small number of patients in the hospital, the examination departments were carefully arranged, and there was not much delay, and Yang Wenbin quickly completed the examination of various departments such as eyes, ears, mouth, nose and other departments. However, during the internal medicine examination, I encountered a difficult problem.

There was only one male doctor in the room for internal medicine. He's about 50 years old, and he's kind and kind. In the physical examinations that Yang Wenbin has participated in before, that is, ophthalmology to check eyesight, distinguish multicolor charts, take chest X-rays, draw blood, measure height and weight, listen to heart rate, listen to whispers five meters away, smell alcohol and vinegar and other traditional examinations. Who knows, after entering the room that blocked the curtain, the male military doctor actually asked him to strip naked. Stripping naked in front of people, changing anyone will be shy, albeit a man, and a doctor. After squirming for a while, in order to become a soldier, he still took off his clothes three times and five times. The male military doctor examined his front limbs and torso with a serious face, and then asked him to turn around and check for strange shapes and hemorrhoids from behind. Then, he carefully looked at the shape of his external genitalia, and even carefully and gently pinched his little ball, first shook his head, and then gently pinched it again, very slowly, and then nodded reassuringly.

Yang Wenbin's eyes wandered with the doctor's movements, especially when he saw the doctor shaking his head after touching his heir to the next generation, his heart also hanged. I've never been examined by a doctor here, so what's wrong? Seeing that he nodded again, he hurriedly and carefully asked, "Is there any problem?" The doctor gave him a meaningful look and said, "It's not a big deal, a slight spermatic vein flexion is not affected." Hearing the doctor's words, his heart also relaxed a little, but he was still a little worried, it would not affect the future birth of children, right?

And this is just a small episode. The physical examination was over, and the bus of students was sent back to the campus by bus with the flow of people.

After the physical examination, Yang Wenbin was also full of longing for the troops. What is the army like, can you adapt to it if you really go? I am full of questions, and the students who heard about their registration are also full of questions? A friend in the same class even asked him, "Brother Yang, can you afford to be a chronic child like you?" ”

At this time, Mr. Yang, the counselor of the team, told everyone that the results of the physical examination may come out in half a month, and before the results of the physical examination come out, if there is any one who gives up, it is still too late to sign up.

Hearing this break, some students hesitated. The eldest brother in the same dormitory decisively withdrew the registration. Because his dream is to be a judge, he is also a student of middle school teachers, and he studied a second degree in law at school. When he heard that he was going to face a second career choice after becoming a soldier, he gave up.

At this time, Yang Wenbin thought of the head of the Propaganda Department of the previous student union, his old superior, alumnus Jin Huanghui. I heard that he was assigned to that unit last year. Go ask him about it. Through the counselor of the previous session, Yang Wenbin asked for Jin Hui's mailing address and wrote a letter to him, asking him about the current situation of the army and the development prospects after he went. After looking forward to it for more than a week, Brother Jin Hui replied. The first word is, it's nice that you're about to be part of our troops. The unit to which I belong is a mechanized unit, a strategic reserve force of the Central Military Commission, and a head, and the head of the unit attaches great importance to the recruitment and training of local college students. Wait a minute.

Jin Hui's words gave me great encouragement, because he is a well-known talent in our department, loves football, can play the guitar, and can write calligraphy well. It was during his tenure as the Propaganda Minister of the Student Union that he was elected to enter the Propaganda Department and served as a deputy minister for one year and a minister for one year.

In this way, Yang Wenbin finally made up his choice, and when he graduated, three of his classmates in their department finally chose to be soldiers, the other two were Yang Yunfeng and Zhang Yujun.
