After eating Chinese New Year's Eve dumplings, each class came to the club early and sat down in the designated position, this is a good program that the squad leader Li Xiwa said, and in a while, the company's Spring Festival Gala will begin, the table is full of sugar and fruits, today everyone can let go of their stomachs and eat at will, the recruits are so cool today: tear open a banana with your hand, reveal the white flesh, a bite is half, the taste is really enjoyable, the red apple is on the plate, no need to peel, it has been washed, bite down, Sweet fruit water flowed down the corners of the mouth, and the sound of "popping and popping" came from swallowing melon seeds, and the soldiers talked and laughed while eating, and the whole club was messy and warm.

After a while, the company commander and the instructor entered the house, everyone immediately stopped the noise, the company commander sat down in the VIP seat, but the instructor stood in front of everyone, he was the host and director of the party. I saw him salute everyone and said: "Dear comrades-in-arms, good evening, the Spring Festival Gala of the Second Artillery Company of the 3235th Regiment starts now." The whole club burst into thunderous applause.

The instructor motioned for everyone to stop, "First of all, let's all sing a song together." He started a head, commanded everyone to sing "unity is strength", today the whole company except for the standing guard personnel almost all arrived, more than 100 people sang together, the singing was loud, sonorous and powerful, the recruits had just eaten, and ate fruit to moisten their throats, the sound was so loud that it almost broke the windows of the club, a song was sung, and then the chorus sang "Say a Word from the Heart", a low and rich singing voice came out of the club: Say a word from the heart, I am also homesick, the old mother at home is full of gray hair, say a word from the heart, I also have love, and I often miss her in that dream...... This song sounds a little sad, when singing, everyone involuntarily thinks of their relatives, to say a word from the heart, this song is to sing their heart, to say a word from the heart, at this time, they should be with their relatives! Before the song was finished, the recruits were already in tears.

As soon as the song was finished, the instructor excitedly said to everyone: "I have good news for everyone, tonight, we have invited a special guest, that is, our lover Ms. Fan Bingbing, who is a singer, and welcomes her to sing songs for us." The instructor applauded.

It turned out that the lover of the platoon leader happened to come to the army to visit relatives, this time it was time to catch up, everyone began to coax a platoon leader to perform on the same stage with his lover, the lover of the platoon leader was delicate, walking and talking generously, she immediately became the focus of the whole company as soon as she came on stage, the couple sang a song "Husband and wife both return home" Everyone applauded that fiercely, moved by the lover of the platoon leader sang a solo song "In the place where the peach blossoms bloom", the song was sung very professionally, she opened her mouth and burst into fierce applause, After the song was sung, everyone applauded vigorously, just didn't let her get off the stage, she had to sing another song "Big Brother, how are you", this song pushed the party to a climax, when she sang "Big Brother, how are you", the audience responded: "Okay-", after the song was sung, the soldiers still did not let her get off the stage, fortunately, the instructor broke the siege in time, and announced that the veteran Liu Bo would perform magic, and she was able to get out.

Liu Bo's magic performance is also very amazing, everyone obviously saw him put a table tennis ball under the hat, a hat lifted, nothing, only to see him grab it in the air with his hand, the table tennis ball actually appeared in his hand, he raised his hand again, the table tennis ball disappeared again, looking for it, it was found in a soldier's pocket, and everyone laughed and hurt their stomachs.

The question rush link made Sun Jiashu out of the limelight, the content is all the historical and geographical knowledge he learned in school, he didn't answer it, the instructor's words haven't fallen, his answer came out, others have no chance to answer at all, every time he answers a question correctly, the correspondent Xiao Wang will give him a small gift, what pencils, notebooks, Sun Jiashu gave the prizes to his comrades in the same class, so that the recruits of other classes look greedy.

The next step is to do the game link, each squad selects a soldier to grab a chair, of course, there are more people and fewer chairs, eight people grab seven chairs, each time, a soldier is eliminated, the chair is also reduced by one, until the last two people grab a chair, to see whose movements are agile, to see whose strength is greater, the club from time to time bursts of laughter, the whole company officers and soldiers are immersed in a peaceful festive atmosphere......

Suddenly, the phone on the table rang, and the company commander picked up the phone and said happily to everyone after listening: "Let me tell you another good news, in order to show the care for the new comrades, the regiment decided to open a 20-minute family line for each company, so that the recruits can pass the message to their families during the New Year, because the time is relatively short, everyone should pay attention to saving time, each person can not exceed one minute, please think about it and then call, now that the outside line has been connected, let's start with the first class of recruits." ”

Hearing that they could talk to their families on the phone, the recruits applauded happily, and the first to call was Xiao Lizi, who said like a cannon after dialing the phone: "Hello parents, everything is fine here, please don't worry about it, that's it, goodbye." "I finished it in a few words, not even 20 seconds, and the people on one side thought it was funny when they heard it, and no one urged them, so why panic? Just these few words, Xiao Lizi was already so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

Immediately after that, several more fighters talked on the phone, some of them cried as soon as they picked up the microphone, some laughed when they picked up the phone, this one said that his sister-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy, the other said that his family bought a big house, this said that their village was connected to asphalt roads, and the other said that their streets were equipped with street lights...... The recruits who did not call were staring at the telephone with blank eyes, and their hearts were constantly memorizing what they were going to say, and the recruits who did not have a telephone at home and had no phone to call simply gathered around the phone and listened to the phone for pleasure.

Li Weiye of the third class of recruits nervously dialed the phone, there was no phone at his house, he dialed the phone of the neighbor's house, and his mother was hospitalized when the soldier left, and he mainly wanted to ask about his mother's condition.

"Hey, who's that?" After a long wait, the other party finally had a voice.

"You're Aunt Li, right? I'm Weiye, is my mom at home? Can you call him? Li Weiye pleaded.

"It's a great cause, you don't know your mother's condition, do you? Didn't your dad tell you? Your mother has cancer, it is already in the advanced stage, your mother refuses to be hospitalized for further treatment, go home and wait for that day, she may not want you to know, for fear of affecting your training, these days, your mother's condition has deteriorated again, and she can't even walk, or I will call your dad in a while, let him carry your mom over, your mom misses you, always call your name, you wait, I'll call your dad to go. You wait. ”

There was no sound on the phone, and Li Weiye held the telephone with stiff hands, his eyes full of tears.

"Tick tock" ...... The wall clock on the wall swung mechanically, and a minute passed, and there was still no sound on the phone, two minutes, three minutes...... The recruits in the back queue were a little out of breath, and the instructor reached out and gently signaled them to be quiet.

"Hey—is it karma?" An old voice finally came from the other side of the phone, and the club fell silent, except for the ticking of the wall clock.

"Mom, it's me." Li Weiye cried as soon as he said a word, and there was also a sobbing sound on the other side of the phone, Li Weiye couldn't say a word at this time when he was ready, he just held the microphone and sobbed like a child.

"I've just been on the phone for the past few days, and it's been in vain."

"Yesterday I received a letter from home, and I know everything about my family."

"I don't have a phone at home, so I'm embarrassed to disturb my neighbors during the Chinese New Year."

……

The soldiers in the back queue walked away with excuses, Sun Jiashu didn't call, when it was his turn to call, he gave it to others, he wanted to wait until everyone else had finished playing, and at noon he called to inform his father to wait by the telephone of the brigade, at this moment, his father must have been waiting at the brigade headquarters for a long time.

More than ten minutes passed unconsciously, and the sound of "Di Di" came from the phone, which was a warning: the phone was about to be disconnected.

The instructor silently took the phone from Li Weiye's hand, and he said to the phone: "Hello aunt, I am the instructor of Weiye Company, Weiye is a good soldier, he has progressive thinking and positive training, thank you for sending a good soldier to the army." You can rest assured, we will definitely train Weiye to be an excellent soldier, Weiye is your son, we are all your sons, on behalf of the officers and soldiers of the company, I say to you: "Happy New Year, salute-"

All the officers and men of the company raised their right hands at the same time and saluted the telephone in a solemn military salute.
