I always thought that as long as Song Nina came far away, we would be able to meet soon, but it turned out that I was too naïve, the management of the soldiers, especially between male and female soldiers, can be said to be quite a year, plus we are a recruit company, the management is even stricter, except for the training ground of the special forces brigade every day, except for hearing the queue password of the female soldiers, we can't see them clearly.

The only time we could see each other was when the whole branch was in a drill, or a big operation like the last firefighting, and the rest of the time, we hardly had a chance to meet them.

Sometimes when we have a meeting in the auditorium or watch a patriotic film, we have the opportunity to sit in the same auditorium with them, but the problem is that they usually sit in the first or second rows, and there are more than 200 soldiers from two special forces groups in between, and we recruits are all sitting at the end, and we don't even have the opportunity to pass them in and out of the auditorium.

As a recruit, but I can't move around at will, but as a veteran, it's not impossible for Song Nina to come and see me.

What makes me even more dissatisfied is Zhang Guoxia, as the district captain of the women's district team, she can come to our team anytime and anywhere, and she can also use the excuse to let me go to their district team.

Especially when she knew the relationship between me and Song Nina, Song Nina had been in the branch for a month, and our recruit training had been going through two months, but Zhang Guoxia had never provided us with a chance to meet.

The heavy snow in the north came very quickly, and it snowed heavily just in November, and when I haven't been able to see Song Nina, I began to think of Lu Yuxin and the child again, and I wonder if the child has been able to speak?

This heavy snow has been falling for a whole day, we have been insisting on queue training in the wind and snow, and the heavy snow in the north is different from the south, if it is in the south, this kind of snow will not fall for three or five days, and the ground will not freeze, because the south is humid, the surface temperature is high, and the general snow is easy to melt on the ground.

But the north is different, in addition to the cold climate, due to the dry climate, a snow falls, and the mountains are covered with white patches.

We southerners have rarely seen this kind of magnificent scenery, although it was very cold during training, but a little ecstatic, as if there was a feeling of New Year's Eve.

Fortunately, there are radiators in our bedroom, and there are double windows on the window frames, so the room is not cold, and on the outer layer of window glass, the snowflakes that fall have become ice, so that we can clearly see the edges and textures of the snowflakes, counting, some are hexagonal, some are octagonal, and the nerd children and grandchildren also wrote a poem for this.

Before the lights out horn blew at night, we had all washed up, just waiting to get ready to go to bed, this is also the rule of the army, you can't go to bed before the lights out horn blows, after the lights out horn blows, you can't go to bed, in other words, it's not okay to be early, it's not okay to be late, you have to get stuck to that point.

Suddenly, there was a whistle from the captain of the duty area in the corridor, and then he shouted loudly: "The whole team is here, first go to the luggage room to change into a padded jacket, then go to the tool room to get the tools, and gather in the small playground in front of the team!" ”

Then he blew the whistle three times in a row and gave the order three times.

Since it had been snowing for a day, it was easy to think of going to the city to clear the snow for the citizens.

Although it was snowing heavily outside and the climate was cold, the soldiers were still very excited, after all, we had been here for more than two months, and we had never been to the city, and even if we used the snow clearing at night, we could see what this northern city was like.

One by one, the soldiers went to the luggage room to take out padded jackets, and then to the warehouse to receive tools, almost like the last firefighting, some took shovels, some took pickaxes, and some took brooms, but the team clerk asked the comrades with brooms to return and change them into shovels and pickaxes, which didn't seem to be going to clear the snow.

When we arrived at the small playground, there were already three open-top trucks parked there, and when we got into them, we were speeding through the night against the snowstorm, and everyone had to sit in the cars, huddle and snuggle up to each other for warmth.

"What's the matter," Sun Saizhong asked casually: "With such a big snow, why can't you wait for the snow to stop?" ”

The district captain, who was standing in front of the carriage, shouted and asked, "Who is talking?" ”

Sun Saizhong quickly shut his mouth, and the other fighters didn't talk to him, we drove in the wind and snow, more than an hour of driving, and really crossed the city, everyone couldn't help but stand up and look around, a fresh feeling, let everyone forget the cold for a while.

The truck carried us to the freight yard of the train station and stopped in front of a train cargo box parked on the tracks.

This is a train full of coal, which was originally scheduled to be unloaded today, but who knew that there was a sudden heavy snowfall, and the stevedores were reluctant to go to work, so the local government had to ask the troops for help.

Because the surface of coal is frozen in heavy snow, it is easy to cause internal combustion, and if it is not unloaded in time, it may cause fire, and these coals are used in urban power generation.

This is a very long train, in addition to the women's district team, two special forces brigades also arrived at the scene, according to the situation at the scene, each squad is assigned to a carriage, our task is to unload the coal in the carriage to the ground, and then by the forklift loaded onto the truck to take away.

Originally, there was not much coal in a truckload, but with the strength of eight soldiers in each squad, it was estimated that it would be able to be unloaded in an hour.

I was the first in our class to jump on the carriage, and I raised my pickaxe to dig on the coal surface, and when I heard the "click" sound, I felt that my pickaxe was like digging into a boulder, and there were sparks splashing, which shocked my mouth and felt a faint pain.

I never dreamed that the coal after hardening would be so hard, so I quickly used internal force to pour it into my arm, and dug a few times a year, except for splashing sparks again, since I didn't even dig out a hole.

It was snowing heavily, it could be said that it was extremely cold, we kept waving our tools, but our underwear and underwear were all sweaty, our heads were icy, our chests and backs were soaked with sweat, and the hot air coming out of our necks and mouths instantly formed crystals between our noses and eyebrows, and I really couldn't describe the feeling.

Seeing that their special forces brigade was shirtless, I also took off my padded jacket, but in our class, except for me, Cui Tinghui and Mei Shaogang, I didn't dare to take off my padded jacket for the time being.

At this time, the gap between the physical fitness of the southern and northern soldiers became apparent, and the overall quality of the recruit brigade and the special forces brigade was not a little bit of a distance.

After the task of the special forces brigade was completed, only half of the northern squad of our recruit brigade was completed, and like the squad of our southern troops, only one-third of the squad was completed at most.

At this time, the comradeship between the troops was suddenly reflected, and the soldiers of the special forces brigade who had completed the task immediately took the initiative to come up to help us after seeing the situation of our recruit brigade, and the one who boarded our carriage was really the squad that competed with us in the last exercise.

They didn't laugh at us, and squad leader Wang Chen also reached out and patted me on the shoulder and said hello: "Okay, squad leader Zhang, it's good!" ”

Because in my class, I dug the deepest pit and unloaded the most coal, and he also praised me from the bottom of his heart.

With their help, we finally completed the task, and when we returned to the army, it was already five o'clock in the morning, and when we put the tools back in the tool room, we really realized what it means to be hungry and cold.

The canteen boiled ginger brown sugar water for everyone, and each person can drink two bowls. The northern soldiers drank happily, but most of the southern soldiers whimpered and burst into tears with ginger and brown sugar water.

The saddest person in our class who cried the most was Xiao Budian Lei Bin, and the nerd Sun Zi Sai glanced at Lei Bin with ginger soup, and asked expressionlessly: "Xiao Budian, the army will make us some ginger soup, and you will be moved like this?" If we unload so much coal in the middle of the night, it's not too much to give us ginseng bird's nest! ”

"Fuck you nerd!" Lei Bin chirped: "You kid is really blind, is Lao Tzu moved?" I haven't even washed the dishes at home, I ran to the army, and I actually went to unload coal on such a cold day, what happened to this Nima? ”

His words made everyone feel a little emotional, and Mei Shaogang, who was the deputy squad leader, actually shed tears and said in a low voice: "I miss home, I miss my mother, woo-"

His crying immediately affected the rest of the class, everyone's eyes turned red, in this case, I didn't say anything to him, just kicked him, and then said to everyone: "Drink it quickly, go back to the dormitory after drinking." ”

After that, I was the first to go back to the dormitory, and all I could do was to make the bed for them, and then go to the kitchen and bring two large buckets of hot water to the room, and when they came back, they washed up and immediately got into bed.

Although I didn't say anything, I still heard a few people crying under the quilt, and my heart was also very uncomfortable, and after they all fell asleep quietly, I was extremely tired, and I especially missed Song Nina, and I had an idea in my heart, if I hugged the hot and fragrant Song Nina at this time, it would definitely be the happiest thing in my life.

I haven't been to the women's district team, but I can imagine that Zhang Guoxia must have a separate room as the team headquarters like our district captain, and Song Nina is not a soldier of the women's district team, as a borrowed instructor, she should also sleep in Zhang Guoxia's room.

I know that there is an iron distance between the troops, and if I go to find Song Nina at night, and I am found by anyone and reported to the branch, no matter how big the punishment is, I will be sent home, after all, we have not officially taken the oath, and in the strict sense, none of our recruits are officially soldiers.

But I don't know why, I tossed and turned in bed, and I have a particularly strong desire at this moment, that is, I want to be able to hug Song Nina.

After hesitating in bed for a long time, it was almost six o'clock in the morning, I couldn't help but put on my clothes and go out, and lied to the door guard that after going to the toilet, I just went around the back mountain, and I rushed in the direction of the women's military district team.
