Chapter II: Preliminary Inspection
The weather in the north in November is already chilly. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
I can't remember the specific date of that day, but I was woken up by my mother at five o'clock in the morning to go to the township to participate in the preliminary physical examination. God seemed to test me, and it was raining heavily outside.
"You're not in the middle of it, I'll take you there." My father got out of bed in his clothes and insisted on taking me there, looking for an umbrella as he spoke.
I don't know where I got the courage, so I said resolutely: "Middle, it's not a problem, Dad, don't worry." That road is often taken. ”
"It's raining, don't take Hulugou, you must take the big road." Mother was worried all the time, and she repeatedly told her.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I'm leaving." I put on my raincoat and disappeared into the night.
When I walked out of the alley, I felt that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the raindrops the size of soybeans kept hitting my face, and my body shivered involuntarily. After walking about 50 meters, there was a fork in the road in front of me, and it was the main road leading to the neighboring village, whether it was to go to school or to work in the fields, I rarely walked; Turn right is the familiar gourd ditch, the road conditions are more familiar, but the road is narrower, there are deep potholes on both sides of the road, if it rains heavily, it is the main water storage area in the village. Before going out, my parents repeatedly instructed me not to go to the gourd ditch, but to go far away. What should I do, I'm not familiar with that road? If you make a mistake, it's still so early, and there's no one on the road, who are you going to ask? You can't take this road, and if you fall into a pit, you won't even have someone to save you, let alone go to a physical examination. After weighing it again and again, it is better to take a wrong step, and it is a big deal to take a few more steps and go straight ahead.
There was no light in the village, and the villagers were still asleep. This time, the flashlight appeared to be much brighter than usual, and the beam of light also shone dozens of meters away. I subconsciously tightened the bag with the flashlight, but at this time I must not enter the water, as soon as the water enters and the electricity is connected, I will become blind.
I finally got out of the village and onto a country road that went straight to Provincial Highway 223. My heart relaxed, too. There was no shelter from the houses around, and I felt the howling of the wind, which sent chills down my spine. When I was in junior high school, I also got up so early, but at that time, I was accompanied by my classmates, and I was not afraid of the three-to-five-kilometer road. Now, I can't go to the village in front of me, I can't go to the store in the back, and I'm still a little scared, and from time to time I twist my head back and take a look, and I always feel that someone is following behind. When people have a sense of helplessness, they will be timid.
The road, which is being built into an asphalt road, is now being laid. Usually the riding is quite flat, the villagers are very happy, looking forward to so many years, there is finally a big road in front of the house. Now it's raining so hard, I'm miserable, it's all yellow mud, and my feet are sticky.
"Wow!"
The road was full of water, and his right foot accidentally stepped into a pit, and the person fell crookedly, and his boots were all in the water, and he didn't care about falling down, and continued to move forward.
"Wow!"
The boots were in the mud and couldn't be pulled out.
It was slightly brighter, but the rain was still falling.
One foot deep, one foot shallow; One foot of mud, one foot of water......
At 7:30, I finally arrived at the township government - the initial inspection station on time. 6 kilometers, not far and not close, although it was difficult, but I still walked it independently, a little bit of a winner's feeling, I couldn't help but think of Chairman Mao's poem: Wuling soars and waves, and Wumeng walks the mud pills majestically.
In the government compound, there are already many people, and some people are coming over one after another. At 8:00, the physical examination officially began. I looked at the order of the physical examination: blood test first, then height, weight, facial features, blood pressure, pulse...... There are so many items, but if there is one item, then being a soldier will be in vain.
"Come, come, everyone come here first to gather, ten people in a row." Someone in front of him was shouting, that person was slightly fat, of medium stature, and full of energy, and shouted quite loudly. Someone in the crowd whispered: That person is Minister Zhao of the Armed Forces Department, who is from our village, and I heard that many people have looked for him.
"Everyone is a little more conscious, a little more conscious." He continued to shout. Those of us who participated in the physical examination are also very conscious, after all, at this time, their own fate is not counted, and it is largely in their hands.
I was in the third row. Everyone was taken to a relatively empty room.
"Everyone take off all their clothes." Minister Zhao shouted. Many people were startled and puzzled, and many people began to discuss: why take off your clothes, and take them off completely? "Don't speak, let you take it off." It's a bit shy to face so many people. Everybody, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other, see that someone took off first, and then take it off. Only the panties remained, and everyone stopped again.
"Take off your underwear too." There was a man in a white coat, presumably a doctor, who ordered everyone to shed the last shred of shyness. Seeing one by one standing naked, many people felt embarrassed and lowered their heads.
"Let's do ten push-ups first, I'll take a look." The doctor shouted as he carefully watched everyone's movements. "Someone's little brother is already disobedient and is starting to get angry." The doctor must have wanted to mediate the atmosphere, and after everyone listened, there was a burst of sighing laughter in the team.
"Do ten more squats and stand up." The doctor seemed to sense something, and walked to the fourth row, "Fourth row, sixth place, please come out." It's you, don't look at it, it's you. "It should be to check what went wrong.
"Everybody pouting their butts." The doctor walked up to the back of the person, broke the buttocks with his hands, and examined them carefully. Later, I learned that he was checking everyone for hemorrhoids.
This "escape" was not easy, and after a few actions, more than 10 people were called out of the team.
I followed the long line, step by step. When it was time to take my blood pressure and pulse, the people in front of me had passed, and when I arrived, the doctor pinched my wrist with his fingers, measured my pulse, and said, "Okay, you go to have an electrocardiogram." My head "buzzed", like it exploded, it's over, why don't others do it? "Doctor, am I alright? I'm okay, right? I asked the doctor over and over again. You do it first. The doctor didn't raise his head, and went to work on the subject of the next examination. I didn't care about the rain and the wind, so I ran straight home and told my parents about the situation. My parents were also very anxious, so they hurried to the village to find the militia company commander, and the militia company commander took me to the physical examination point to find Minister Zhao. During the second inspection, I took a sip of vinegar and pressed it to pass the test.
