Chapter 8 No regrets, no regrets, all are heroes
A week's training time passed quietly, and the student soldiers' queue movements began to walk in shape. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The feeling of walking in the ranks in a military uniform with a neat step is not something that can be experienced without this immersive feeling.
After a week of training, Song Feng is obviously thinner than when he first reported for duty. Because I was thinking about my mother's surgery, I couldn't put my mind at ease anyway, and I often stayed up until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night to squint for a while.
Song Feng's family lives in the western suburbs of the provincial capital, and his parents are workers. Although Tiexi is an important industrial area in the provincial capital and is known as the "Ruhr of the East", due to the large economic environment, the heavy machinery factory where my parents work is not in a recession at all, and it has not paid wages for more than a year. Parents borrowed money to support themselves until they graduated from college, and it should have been time for them to repay them. A month before graduation, my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer.
Hearing this news, Song Feng felt like five thunderbolts were on the top, as if the sky was about to fall.
At that time, he said that he would not go to the army and would find a job in the provincial capital to facilitate the care of his seriously ill mother.
However, the mother did not agree in any case, held his hand and said, "Son, my mother knows that it was your childhood wish to be a soldier. However, due to his studies, he did not have the opportunity to realize this dream. Now that you have graduated from college and have encountered the opportunity for the army to recruit from your school, how can you give it up! Don't worry mom. Isn't there still a dad to take care of? Your dad doesn't have to go to work now, the unit has a long vacation, and there is time to take care of me, don't worry, go to the army with peace of mind, obedient, ah, child. ”
However, two days before he came to report to the army, his mother suddenly fainted. After being sent to the hospital, the doctor recommended chemotherapy first, and then arrange surgery as soon as possible after all medical indicators met the conditions.
Since he arrived in the army, after watching the news broadcast every day, Song Feng asked the squad leader for leave and called his father to find out about his mother's condition. Now, even the aunt of the military service club knows him. Every time he walked to the phone and waited in line, his aunt arranged for the fighters to let him hit first. I learned over the phone that my mother's condition is getting worse and worse, and she needs to have surgery as soon as possible and need someone to take care of her. My father is not in good health, so he takes care of his mother day and night, and there is no one around him to change shifts, and if this goes on for a long time, he is worried that his father's body will also collapse, so how should this family support it?
Moreover, my mother's treatment also requires a large amount of money, and my father borrowed it from relatives and friends for a few days, but more than half of it was still missing.
In the past few days, he has also opened his mouth to his classmates who are usually good, but everyone is a poor student, and no matter how good they are, they can't support a few dollars, which is still a drop in the bucket.
Every day after reporting for duty, although he still went out to exercise and participated in military and political training every day like his comrades-in-arms, he was always thinking about "money, money, money" in his mind, and how good it would be if coins could fall from the sky like rain and snow, but he also knew that pies could not fall from the sky.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for the instructor to come to the dormitory to chat with everyone today, he asked, "Instructor, how much is your monthly salary?" The instructor smiled a little, but still replied: "The salary of the army is not high, plus I have a secondary school degree, and I have worked for more than ten years, and it is less than 1,000 yuan." ”
"Ah, is it so low?"
"Yes, it's better for your local undergraduates, in the future, if you turn to a regular grade, you can pay eight or nine hundred yuan a month!"
"Eight or nine hundred yuan, it's not high!" Song Feng thought to himself, "I called my roommate the day before yesterday, Sun Jian, he is about the same as me, he stayed in a company in the provincial capital after graduation, and I heard that it was 15 or 600 yuan a month!" Twice as much as in the future. Moreover, he still works eight hours, commutes to and from work on time every day, lives with his parents, and takes care of each other. But the army works 24 hours a day, and there is no time at their own disposal, so how can they earn some extra money to fill the family? When will the money I borrowed for my mother's treatment be repaid? ”
Thinking of this, he felt remorseful, he shouldn't have to come to the army, his parents' bodies need to be taken care of, and he is indeed facing financial difficulties, so he has to solve them alone. So, can you go?
He pondered in his mind and fell silent.
Since the idea of "going home", Song Feng's sleep has become even more insufficient, and when he trains every day, he feels that his spirit is always in a trance, and he can't sink down.
Even squad leader Shang found out that something was wrong with him, and talked to him a few times in private, but he only relieved him and couldn't help substantially.
Song Feng found that although he liked to be a soldier since he was a child and liked this green military uniform, this kind of life was too far away from his life goal, and his choice was wrong, and he was very wrong.
But is there any chance of correction? Song Feng knew that the army was by no means a place where anyone could come and leave whenever they wanted, and everything was disciplined. However, he thought, this is all a normal situation, everything, there are always exceptions, but it requires a special way, and he wants to give it a try.
On the third day when such an idea came to him, the opportunity came.
On Thursday morning, near the end of the exercise, the training team received a notice. Afternoon training plan, with slight adjustments. Because, Director Hao of the division's political department, went down to the regiment today to inspect the work. In the afternoon, an unplanned content was specially added to discuss with local college student cadres and students.
I heard that the director of the political department of the division is dignified. Every cadre in the regiment saw him like a mouse seeing a cat, and he didn't even dare to speak loudly. This is because the Political Department holds the power of life and death of a cadre and the future and destiny of the cadre. If the director of the political emperor has an opinion on any cadre, even the slightest idea, then the political fate of this cadre will be rewritten.
At noon, the instructor of the company rushed to the dormitory and specially explained, "Director Hao is notoriously strict, and he doesn't rub sand in his eyes, you should be careful when you speak, say what you should say, don't say what you shouldn't say." ”
They college students don't take it seriously.
Because I have been studying for a long time, I have come into contact with old professors and old scholars, and all of them are teachers and amiable. Everyone has basically developed the habit of knowing everything and saying everything. They think that people are equal to each other, and no matter how big your official position as the head of the Political Department is, isn't it also a human being, and you have to be reasonable? Isn't it still telling the truth?
In the afternoon, after the lectures, the college student cadres from these localities collectively led the team into the organ building, turned the second floor, and entered a conference room. The conference room was relatively simple, with a large table with some wooden tables underneath, and behind each table, there was a wooden chair, but it was a little higher than the company's chair, and there was an extra layer of leatherette leather on the chair, and that was it.
After everyone stood between the chairs and the table in order, the shift leader gave the order, "Sit down and adjust." Everyone sat down, palms down on their thighs, and waited for the arrival of the leader.
As soon as he arrived at half past one, he saw Zeng Shi coming, he just showed his head, pushed the door open, and then, a big man strode in.
I only heard Deputy Instructor Li Lihai shout, "Stand up, take a break, stand upright--", and then began to report in a loud voice, "Comrade Director, the local college student cadre training team of the 448th Infantry Regiment has been assembled, please instruct!" Training Captain Li Lihai! ”
"Sit down!" Director Hao ordered.
"Yes--, sit! Tweak it! Li Lihai gave the order, pushed open the door, and walked out quietly.
At this time, another big lieutenant colonel cadre who accompanied him into the camp said, "Comrades, this afternoon, Director Hao of the Political Department of the division specially took time out of his busy schedule to have a discussion with the local college students who were training intensively, and let us express our heartfelt welcome and warm thanks to Director Hao with warm applause!" Then he took the lead in applauding, and the room burst into thunderous applause.
"Next, please ask Director Hao to give us instructions!" Then, he took the lead and applauded.
Song Feng happened to be sitting in the first row, and in front of him was Director Hao. I saw Director Hao's rectangular face, tall, slightly fat, with a serious face, sitting in a precarious position.
Director Hao didn't have any extra nonsense, "Comrades, today I came to the army to investigate, and I heard that the comrades were training here, so I proposed it to the regiment to meet with you and have a chat. ”
"Accepting local college student cadres into the army is an important arrangement made by the Central Military Commission General Headquarters, and is an important policy decision to broaden the channels for the source of talent for the army and improve the knowledge structure of the cadres in the army. Historically, our army recruited two batches of local college student cadres from the 60s and 80s respectively. At present, those who remain in the troops are the remaining elites who have become the leading talents on the national defense front. ”
"The division attaches great importance to the first step of the military service of local college student cadres enlisting in the army, and specially arranges for everyone to go to the hero team for training before going to the academy for training, which is a decision made by the division party committee and a care for everyone, which is conducive to the comrades to realize the transformation from a college student to a soldier as soon as possible. It's been a week since we were training, I'll take a look at you and see if you have any difficulties that we need to solve, and we'll solve them immediately! ”
"Report, I have a suggestion!" Robin Li raised his hand first, "Report to the chief, since we just joined the army, we had a lot of training intensity at the beginning, so we ate a lot. The company's food is very good, and we are very satisfied with the food, but we hope that the amount of food can be larger, sometimes it is not enough! ”
Some of the students below couldn't help but burst out laughing. I couldn't help biting my ears and talking in private, "Foodies, you know how to eat." ”
Director Hao turned his gaze to the black-faced sweat who accompanied him, "Director Li, is there any difficulty with the food?" ”
"Oh, it turns out that this is Director Li in the regiment!" The students were talking in their hearts, expecting to hear satisfactory answers.
"No problem, solve it immediately, notify the logistics, add vegetables to the company of the training team, increase the amount of dishes, and ensure the effectiveness of the training." He was categorical.
Seeing that the first problem was successfully solved, the trainees were encouraged, and the atmosphere began to be warm, from the training conditions to the accommodation conditions, from the training methods to the training support conditions, the problems were varied, and they were all discussed and solved.
"Report, I have a question!" Song Feng hesitated for a moment, and stood up with "Teng", "Chief, I don't want to do it anymore, I want to go back to the local development, can you approve it?" ”
Everyone shut up and calmed down, if a needle fell on the ground, it was estimated that they could hear it.
And Director Li's already black face of the Political Department has become even darker, and even turned green, and the green stalks on his forehead are flickering and bulging, as if he can't bear the pressure of the blood vessels and is about to burst.
