Chapter 107 A City Anecdote (86) Manju Prince
Every group, every unit, will have its own glorious traditions, which can also be called 'hard and fast rules'.
When 'Deputy Commander Liu' was visiting his subordinate troops, he suddenly received a phone call from 'Jiang Gongzi', and at that time, 'Jiang Gongzi' did not say that Guo Xiaosong's surname was 'Guo', but only that due to certain reasons, the people of the teaching team and the 'examination office' would not allow him to participate in the military academy examination.
"Chief, just now the teaching team called and said, "You said it, let a soldier take the exam, right?" Early the next morning, the new secretary of 'Deputy Commander Liu' came to his office, and he wanted to make sure that the chief had not said this.
The original secretary, because of his good appearance, was sent to a certain regiment of the 'Beijing Garrison' as a political commissar, and 'Deputy Commander Liu' had to recruit a serious officer in the organ to be his secretary.
"Yes, I said it, you call them back in a while, and almost let them release them, isn't it just a matter of military examination, who can't ask for anyone these days, you have to spare people and spare people!" Although Deputy Commander Liu said so, he didn't think so, and this was for the new secretary.
"Okay, then I'll call them back immediately, by the way, chief, I heard from the phone, this soldier's surname is Guo, don't you have to talk to the commander and political commissar!" He is worthy of being a serious secretary, and his words immediately reminded the chief.
'What? His surname is Guo? What is your name? ''Deputy Commander Liu' was still smiling and talking for the first minute, and his face turned green the next minute.
'It's called Guo Xiaosong, I wrote it down! The new secretary showed the name on the paper to 'Deputy Commander Liu'.
'What? Guo Xiaosong? It's him again, you immediately call the teaching team, saying that this soldier doesn't meet the regulations, and he will do it according to the old rules, and he will still use it to find me in the future. This rule is dead, don't say that I am now the deputy commander, even if I am the commander, I will leave the garrison one day, this person surnamed Guo is not allowed to take the entrance examination, even if he can say 'dragon calling'! Deputy Commander Liu made a big fork on that piece of paper and completely rejected Guo Xiaosong.
Guo Xiaosong felt very honored to meet the captain of the teaching team in person. When he came to the door of the 'captain's office', he made a report very loudly, "Report!" ”
'Come in!' The captain of the brigade had the rank of 'lieutenant colonel', and he sat behind his desk, much like the old man of the auditorium.
'Hello Captain! Guo Xiaosong stepped forward and made a standard military salute.
Picking up a small piece of paper from the table, the captain said, "You can go back to your Iron and Blood Regiment!" ’
Guo Xiaosong thought that he had misheard, and stepped forward to take the small piece of paper with a seal, which was clearly written. It is the 'food relationship' sent to the 'iron and blood group', not the 'examination office' to go to the examination. ’
'Captain, I'm not~~,'
'You're not what you're not. You kid can, I heard your district captain say that he went out all day these days, and lied to him that he had found a good person. Look, you've found a good person, you've found a good person. I still won't let you take the exam, Deputy Commander Liu's office just called, and your exam this year has completely come to an end! No one wants to be a 'black face', and the captain of the teaching team is also forced to do so, who will make his official small.
What they said couldn't be clearer, Guo Xiaosong had to pack his backpack and leave the teaching team, thinking that he would go to find Liu Sheng again, and go deeper, but he didn't want to trouble people anymore, so he returned to the seventh company of the 'Iron Blood Regiment'.
Guo Xiaosong's return, the happiest is the current seventh squad leader Kong Xiangwu, he pretended to take Guo Xiaosong's backpack at the gate of the regiment, and then said, "It's okay, isn't it just a military school that can't be admitted, let's not take the exam, which river doesn't wash the boat, don't let you go to the military academy, that's the country's loss, not your Guo Xiaosong's loss!" ’
Guo Xiaosong, who was originally angry, wanted to hit someone at this time, but he still suppressed his feelings, "Okay, okay, don't say it, I'm a little troubled." ’
Kong Xiangwu's favorite thing happened, not only did he not stop talking, but instead came to change Bengali, "You turned out to be the seventh squad leader, you come back, this seventh squad will let you be the squad leader, I'll go back to other platoons!" Saying this in his mouth does not mean that Kong Xiangwu is thinking in his heart, now the recruits have already 'left work', and the reconstituted seventh squad is no longer the original 'veteran seventh class', even if he wants to let the squad leader Guo Xiaosong to sit, Lian Li will not agree to him.
Walking all the way, Guo Xiaosong wondered all the way, if there was something wrong, when he returned to the company, came to the company commander's office, and reported to the company commander Xiao Hui, the instructor also followed.
"Your matter, the company commander and I have received a call from the teaching team, it's not that your academic performance and performance are not good, mainly because our garrison has 'hard rules', which no one can help you, since you are back, then serve with peace of mind, but now the title is about to be awarded, the list of squad leaders and deputy squad leaders has been reported, you can only be a veteran, it's not good to adjust again!" The instructor is an expert in ideological work, and the meaning of his speech is also very straightforward, that is to say, Guo Xiaosong was a squad leader when he left, but he was not a squad leader when he came back, and he could only be a veteran.
"When I am not a squad leader, I really haven't thought about it, company commander, instructor, I am just angry and unfair, why don't you let me take the college entrance examination, is it so difficult for a soldier to take the college entrance examination?" Guo Xiaosong asked the two people in front of him who had taken the 'Cadet College Entrance Examination' a few years ago.
'I didn't encounter this when I took the exam, what about you, Lao Xiao, have you encountered it? The instructor was also very puzzled, and the reply given by the above was 'hard and fast rules', and there was no explanation of why at all.
'I've met, in our batch of soldiers, there is also a surname Guo, and then somehow, he left us, I think Guo Xiaosong encountered the same problem, maybe the surname Guo, it's really a thing! 'Seventh Company Commander Xiao Hui is so smart, he has heard about this a long time ago, but he is inconvenient to say, because if this is to let any chief hear what he said, he will have to roll up and leave anytime, anywhere, a small company commander is like a little ant, in front of the soldiers, you are a character, in front of the chief. You're just a person who doesn't fall into the stream and is nothing.
According to Guo Xiaosong's own requirements, Guo Xiaosong was assigned to the cooking class and became a 'steamed bread worker', every day he got up early in the morning to 'make noodles', and then had to knead four or five hundred steamed buns, and when the cooks woke up, his steamed buns had been kneaded.
'Okay, Lao Guo, what time did you get up, did you have five o'clock? The cooking squad leader really sympathized with Guo Xiaosong. For this reason, he also specially set up a bed for Guo Xiaosong in the storage room, Guo Xiaosong, a cook, belongs to the 'supernumerary personnel', and the small dormitory can no longer store him.
'Thinking about things in my heart, I can't sleep, and it's also a good thing to get up and rub my dough to relax and relax. Guo Xiaosong then went to the side to choose vegetables.
Due to the lack of heat for the addition of 'baking soda' and the lack of experience in the time to wake up, Guo Xiaosong's first pot of steamed buns is very unpalatable although it looks good. Soon the shouting and scolding on the second floor of the canteen was opened.
'Who kneaded the steamed bun here, it's eaten by people, it's bitter, isn't it intentional!' 'The voice that came out. It was Kong Xiangwu, who was knowingly scolded, in order to suppress Guo Xiaosong's arrogance. Soon someone responded to it, and these people were also Kong Xiangwu's sworn friends, iron buddies.
'I think these eight calves in the cooking class are not beaten, and one is not a thing compared to the other! ’
It's just that the vegetables are not cooked, and the steamed buns are not delicious, and they don't let people train! ’
The reason why these people dared to be so presumptuous was that the officers of the Seventh Company were holding a meeting in the canteen of the battalion headquarters, and when Xiao Hui, the commander of the Seventh Company, and the officers walked into the dining hall, they saw Guo Xiaosong apologizing to his comrades.
"I really didn't mean to, I plan to take advantage of the fact that they didn't get up.,Take a good look.,Who would have thought that this baking soda was too much.,The steamed hair is hair.,But the alkali is too big and hasn't melted.,Next time I'll pay attention.,This is the last time.,Give me a chance!" Guo Xiaosong said very sincerely, and several squad leaders who usually had grievances with the cooking class saw that Guo Xiaosong did it, so they all sat down and stopped getting angry.
"The first time I did it, it was reasonable, don't do it if you don't know how to knead steamed buns, how can this make the big guy eat!" The new deputy of the seventh squad obviously followed the words of Kong Xiangwu, the leader of the seventh squad, even if Kong Xiangwu did not have a seizure, he represented Kong Xiangwu.
"You are everywhere, what are you, you are a second-year soldier, how can you talk to the veteran squad leader!" The battalion secretary originally came to the canteen of the seventh company to mix dishes, and he also knew that Guo Xiaosong had returned to the company, and he happened to see him today, following behind Xiao Hui, the commander of the seventh company, and seeing that the officers of the seventh company were standing on the stairs and not leaving, he also hurriedly climbed up and scolded the deputy of the seventh squad.
As for the battalion headquarters documents, all the soldiers in the battalion know him, and they know that he has a bad temper and loves to beat people, but this is the canteen of the Seventh Company, and the deputy of the seventh squad still dares to be further presumptuous, 'Am I right, I am tired from training all day now, and if I can't eat enough in the morning, how can I train, you say, isn't it!' ’
The battalion secretary still wanted to retort, so Guo Xiaosong stepped forward to stop him, "In this way, I'll go to the companies to see if they have any leftover steamed buns, I'll get them for the big guys, next time I will definitely not make a concord, just knead the steamed buns!" ’
The deputy of the seventh class thought that he had gained momentum, so he sat down and said, 'This is like a human saying! As he spoke, he picked vegetables with chopsticks and ate them.
Xiao Hui, the commander of the seventh company, and the instructor had been listening to the conversation upstairs on the stairs, and they were very much in favor of Guo Xiaosong's words, and when Guo Xiaosong walked downstairs, Xiao Hui pulled him upstairs again.
"Isn't it just a meal of big alkali steamed buns, what is this, I couldn't even eat big and big buns when I was a child, what's the matter, you are amazing, then how about you go to the cooking class for two days, I see how much better you are than Guo Xiaosong, Guo Xiaosong, I order you to treat me honestly in the cooking class, thirty steamed buns in each class, no one is allowed left, I don't care how you eat, you have to give me food, this is an order, if there is a steamed bun left in which class, or secretly take it away, I will punish him, the squad leader and deputy squad leader will be removed from his post at a rate, Don't think that the company has reported your list of promoted ranks to the regiment, grandma, I can get it back anytime and anywhere, and report another one, whether you believe it or not, if you want to continue to be the squad leader and deputy squad leader, all of them will sit down for me and continue to eat, do you hear it! Walking to the company's dining table, Xiao Hui, the commander of the seventh company, grabbed a steamed bun, devoured it, and then picked up the second and third.
The instructor of the Seventh Company and the deputy company commander were the same, and they all ate three steamed buns.
Set an example and take the lead in setting an example, the squad leaders and deputy squad leaders of each squad, seeing that the company commander and instructor can eat this inedible steamed bun, what are they, commanding the soldiers of each squad, and eating it in a big gulp.
The seventh squad leader Kong Xiangwu pulled his own seventh squad deputy, and the two of them also ate, but they ate very slowly, and from time to time to the company table to inspect, and at the same time supervised the soldiers in their own class, especially the recruits, the recruits were helpless, each of them also ate four or five steamed buns, before completing the task.
Within a few days, Guo Xiaosong learned the secret essentials of 'baking soda noodles', and visited the various cooking classes of the 'Iron Blood Group' to learn from the experience, a week later, a pot of snow-white steamed buns with bread flavor was also baked, and the comrades-in-arms praised it again and again, and even the instructor praised Guo Xiaosong's steamed buns for being delicious.
Although on the surface, Guo Xiaosong is scenery and scenery has returned to his usual life, but as one of Guo Xiaosong's good friends, how can the battalion secretary not know the pain in his heart, in order to let Guo Xiaosong achieve his dream of going to military school, he had no choice but to ride a bicycle to 'Beijing University' without carrying Guo Xiaosong, found Liu Min who was in class, and told her Guo Xiaosong's current situation.
"Because of my dad, I really don't know about this," Liu Min thought that the reason why Guo Xiaosong didn't look for her recently was to prepare for the college entrance examination, seeing that there was less than a month to go, and the exam was about to start, when she heard that Guo Xiaosong was not in the 'exam office' and was kneading steamed buns in the cooking class, she was very surprised.
'This is what Guo Xiaosong told me personally, saying that if he doesn't let him take the exam, he will be stuck in your father's piece, I think you can talk to your dad about it, let Guo Xiaosong finish the exam, how can he be as big a leader as a soldier! The battalion secretary has always had an opinion on Liu Min, but today he has no choice but to do it.
Then Guo Xiaosong, why didn't he come to me by himself, just give me a pager!" Liu Min believes that Guo Xiaosong can hand over the military medal to himself for safekeeping, which means that the relationship between them is very good, and Guo Xiaosong did not come to him in person, which must be his reason.
'You don't know Guo Xiaosong yet, he is a person who doesn't rely on the sky and the earth, if he wants to rely on people, he wouldn't have been transferred away long ago, his third uncle is in the north, and he is also a commander! 'The battalion secretary is also clear about Guo Xiaosong's family background.
'His third uncle is also in the army? Why didn't he tell me, did he brag in front of you! Liu Min really hadn't heard that Guo Xiaosong had an active chief uncle, she only heard that Guo Xiaosong's grandfather was an 'old Eighth Road' and had passed away.
"I don't believe it, I have read the relevant reports of his third uncle in the military newspaper, he is a great talent, and he has published several books, called Guo Kaishan, the commander of the military division!" On weekdays, the main job of the battalion clerk is to cooperate with the battalion commander and instructor to sort out materials and help them write speeches, of course, he is also a person who loves to read.
'What? Guo Kaishan is his third uncle? Liu Min is such a smart person, after she listened, she immediately knew why, so she said goodbye to the camp paperwork, she came to the 'Beijing General Hospital', came to find her aunt Liu Xuehua, she thought that Guo Xiaosong's matter, Liu Xuehua would definitely be able to help, just because Guo Xiaosong is Guo Kaishan's nephew, she had to help.
After listening to her niece's story, Liu Xuehua's reaction was not very big, she nodded lightly and said, "From the moment I met Guo Xiaosong, I guessed who he was, in City A, I know several brothers of Guo Kaishan of the old Guo family, although I haven't seen his second brother, but I also know a little about the situation of his family, so I said, when you said that you have nothing to do with Guo Xiaosong, I don't believe it when I die, I am also a person from the past, since you said it today, Guo Xiaosong is in trouble, I will definitely help him, and I will go to the garrison in a while." 'Exam office', talk to them, let him take the exam! ’
After hearing her aunt's approval, Liu Min was quite happy, but because she applied for the 'CCTV' intern reporter exam, she was about to leave for southern Xinjiang on the same day, so she didn't say hello to Guo Xiaosong and left directly by plane. (To be continued......)
