Chapter Twenty-Nine: Farewell to the Recruits

At two o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, all the students of the county sports school, wearing the school's uniform of red and white and wearing sneakers, came to the * field under the leadership of the teachers of each class.

"Take a break, stand upright, look to the right, look forward." After the sports committee of each class has formed a team, each grade will stand in a phalanx on the field one by one.

After a while, I saw a large sedan car drive into the * field, and finally stopped on the runway. The first person to get out of the car was a county leader. Peng Fei had seen him for the third time, and the first two times were also at such events. According to reports, he is in charge of the leading groups for military recruitment in various townships and towns. Next came a leader of the county armed forces department and a platoon commander sent by the unit to lead the troops. The last eight people who came down were all wearing bare green military uniforms and recruit eggs with big red flowers on their chests. This is all from various towns and villages in the county.

But it seems too early to say that they are new recruits. Because they don't look like soldiers at all, and even the clothes they wear look like they just bought from a labor insurance store. In other words, wearing them is more like labor protection equipment than military uniforms.

The principal and several important leaders of the school hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with everyone cordially. This situation is really a harmonious scene.

But in the midst of the crowd, in the midst of a certain student square, a discordant voice suddenly sounded. I heard someone whisper: "Damn, if I have a gun, I will give it all to Yatutu." ”

Peng Fei turned his head and found that Zhang Lei was looking in the direction where the principal was, with a resentful expression on his face.

At this time, Zhang Minghao, who was standing behind, said: "Why does this sentence sound so familiar to me, as if someone told me some time ago." ”

"I feel the same way, as if I've heard someone say that." Saying that, Peng Fei and Zhang Minghao looked at Zhang Lei at the same time.

"What do you two think I'm doing? I've never said this before, and I'm saying it today out of anger. ”

"Oh-" Peng Fei and the two of them nodded meaningfully.

The principal invited all the people who got out of the car to the podium. Then enthusiastically introduced to the teachers and students one by one. "This is the xx in the county, this is the xx of the county armed forces, and this is the ......"

In order to cooperate with the principal, all teachers and students should applaud warmly every time the principal introduces a person. The first two leaders who were introduced seemed to be very reluctant to lift their butts from their chairs, and then owed a debt to show their gratitude.

When the platoon commander was introduced, he was seen standing upright, standing upright, and then a standard military salute. Then, there was applause from the audience. However, this applause should sound more enthusiastic than the previous two. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that respect is mutual. If others respect you enough, then naturally you will treat others with more respect in return.

As for the cute big kids, they haven't received formal training yet, and they're embarrassed to show off, and they salute like the classic movements of the Monkey King. So they all stood in a row and bowed to the teachers and students in the audience. But it's pretty standard, it's definitely 90 degrees.

The next item is the leader's speech. And this project is also the most sleepy project. I believe that this is true no matter what the event is.

The leaders have finished speaking, and it is the turn of the recruit representatives to speak. I saw a big child with a melon seed face, white and clean, holding a microphone and walking to the front of the stage. He is Wei Guo's elder brother, named Wang Zhifei. That's the child who will be tired and cry even when the school organizes military training. He is eighteen years old and has already gone to college. It's just that because the family wants him to exercise, they let him sign up for the army. However, the school has reserved his student status, and after he is discharged from the army, he can still go back to school to continue his education.

"Hey, if you don't go to college, you should be a soldier. Can you stand that kind of suffering? Peng Fei was very worried about him.

"Dear leaders, teachers, dear recruits, comrades-in-arms: Hello! I am deeply honored and proud to stand here today with great joy to speak on behalf of the recruits who have joined the army in the county! ……”

An impassioned speech was greeted with numerous applause. And that's pretty much the end of the event. Finally, accompanied by the majestic March of the Volunteers, oh, wrong! It was the march of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and the platoon commander took the recruits and eggs, sat in a large palanquin and slowly left the * field and drove out of the campus.

Just as they got into the car, Peng Fei saw one of the recruits and wiped the corner of his eye with his hand.

"Cut, I'll be back in three years, what's there to cry about." Peng Fei despised the recruit in his heart. However, there are some things that are not the words of the person concerned, and it is really impossible to understand that feeling.

Watching the car drift away, each class was brought back in turn, and then what should be done.

On Saturday, Peng Fei wanted to go to Zhang Wei to review his homework. As soon as I rode to the entrance of the village, I ran into Wei Guo head-on.

"Weiguo, why are you going?"

"I went to the town mall and bought a pair of shoes. Look at it, is it good-looking? As he spoke, Wei Guo took out his shoes from a cardboard box in the basket.

"Well, it's okay! By the way, our school held a farewell ceremony for the recruits on Monday afternoon. I saw your brother too. At that time, he also spoke on the stage as a representative of the recruits......"

"What do you mean that your school had a farewell ceremony for recruits on Monday afternoon? *, the gang of recruit eggs were sent off twice. ”

"How do you call being sent off twice?"

"Because on Monday morning, there was already a farewell ceremony in the town. All the teachers and students of the primary and secondary schools in the town center participated, and it was my brother who took the stage to speak at that time. I didn't see that when the three of them followed the platoon commander of the unit to get into the car, the parents of the three families were all crying outside the car and wiping their tears. Then I saw the three people in the car, all wiping their tears with their sleeves. ”

"Yes, it's so touching. But just now you said three people, but we were sending off eight people. ”

"Oh, that's from all over the county. But in our town, there are only three people. ”

"Then our town has held a farewell ceremony, and other towns should also hold it. So it's really like you said, these guys were sent off twice. But when we were in elementary school before, why didn't we have these activities? ”

"What do you mean? Is it envy or jealousy? Why don't you wait for you to become a soldier, I'll give you two more farewell ceremonies at home, how about we send you off four times? ”

"Get out of the way! You have sent me off four times, where are you going to send me? ”

"There is a saying: send the Buddha to the west. Naturally, it was sent to the west. ”

Peng Fei: The crematorium in their county is just west of the county seat. So to send people to the west, to them means to send them to the crematorium.

"Weiguo, I'll burn you first!"
