Section VII
When the season entered winter again, one day, the instructor suddenly called *** to the company and took out a "Officer Registration Form" from the drawer. When the registration form was placed in front of him, *** could hardly believe his eyes, this was the moment he had dreamed of. When he raised his head again, his eyes were full of tears, and he said to the instructor in a choked voice: Thank you leader, I will never forget you in this life.
The instructor said very implicitly: Don't thank me, if you want to thank you, thank you for our regiment, it is the regiment that won the quota for you in the division. In the end, the instructor said mysteriously: This time the whole regiment only has five indicators for promotion, which is not easy. After speaking, he patted ***'s shoulder again.
Immediately thought of the warm big hands of the head of the regiment, when he was rated as a pacesetter of Lei Feng for the first time in the regiment, the commander of the horse met him once, that time the commander of the horse did not say anything, just stretched out his hand and shook with him, that was the first time he shook hands with the head of the regiment, he only felt that the big hands of the head of the regiment were very warm and thick, and then the head of the regiment patted his shoulder again, and whispered to him and said: Do a good job.
Unintentionally, he saved Ma Xiaowei, but what he didn't expect was that in just a few months, his fate changed drastically, and he even couldn't believe that all this in front of him would be true.
Within two weeks of filling out the cadre registration form, the officer in charge of cadre work in the regiment's political office talked to him once and asked him to serve as an intern deputy platoon commander in the regiment headquarters guard platoon. That is, he still has to have a half-year internship period before he becomes a full-fledged officer.
The guard platoon at the regimental headquarters is responsible for standing guard for the regimental organs, and the soldiers standing guard here are all strictly selected, neatly looking, and of a higher quality than the soldiers of ordinary companies, and the guard platoon is the face of the whole regiment. I didn't expect to put myself in such an important position.
On that day, he stood upright on the sentry post, and a female soldier came over to him, and the girl in the military uniform was very beautiful, and it could be said that she was very graceful. When he got closer, the female soldier saluted him and smiled at him, he felt that the female soldier in front of him was very familiar, but he didn't know where he had seen it for a while. The female soldier said, "When will you go to my house to play?"
He suddenly remembered that the female soldier in front of him was Ma Xiaowei. I haven't seen him for half a year, and Ma Xiaowei, who is wearing a military uniform, has become like this, and he can't recognize it. Ma Xiaowei walked by his side for a long time, and he was still stunned.
From then on, he would often see Ma Xiaowei. She was in the health team, and when she entered and exited the barracks, she always had to pass under his nose, and sometimes, they would meet her unexpectedly in the barracks. They didn't seem to have much to say, and every time Ma Xiaowei took the initiative to talk to him. She said: *** to work. Or: ***, you're not on the job.
The two became intimate that weekend. On the evening of that weekend, he had just gotten off the sentry and was about to walk to the dormitory, when Ma Xiaowei came to meet him, and she came to the front and said: ***Go to my house and sit down.
He thought she was polite, but smiled and replied: Wait for the opportunity.
She said: Today is the opportunity, let's go.
After saying that, he pulled his sleeve, and he passively walked towards the family courtyard, which was just outside the regiment headquarters and was separated by a small door, where there were also soldiers standing guard. When the two of them walked through the small door, the soldier saluted them, and the soldier said: "Hello deputy platoon commander." Ever since he arrived in the guard platoon, the soldiers have always called him the deputy platoon commander, although the order for him to be promoted has not yet been announced, and it is only an internship at present. But others called him the deputy platoon commander, and every time he called him, he made his waist stiff one by one.
That night, the regiment commander's house seemed to have made some preparations, and there were chickens and fish on the dinner table. When they came in, the regimental commander was waiting for them, and as soon as he saw the regimental commander, he stood upright and saluted. Next, I don't know what to do, Ma Xiaowei pulled the corner of his clothes a few times, and then he sat down in front of the regiment leader. That day, the head of the regiment opened the bottle of wine and poured a little bit of the empty glass in front of him, he hurriedly snatched the bottle and poured wine for the head of the regiment, and his hands trembled and splashed a few drops. Later, the head of the regiment raised his glass and said: "Comrade ***, I haven't officially thanked you, and today our whole family thanks you."
Not knowing what to say, he stood up trembling, his face flushed and his sweat coming down.
Later, he heard the regiment commander say: Do it well.
At that time, he thought that all this was given by the regiment commander, and if there was no regiment commander, there would be no today. The thought of this brought tears to his eyes.
He didn't know when or how he walked out of the regiment leader's house, Ma Xiaowei walked out with him, and she had to go back to the health team on duty. Out of the head of the regiment's house, he was blown by the cold wind, he was awake, Ma Xiaowei walked very close to him, the hair blown by the wind was blowing on his face, and he smelled the fragrance of Ma Xiaowei's hair. At this time, he inexplicably remembered osmanthus. In his mind, he quickly compared the osmanthus with Ma Xiaowei in front of him.
Ma Xiaowei suddenly said to him: You will often come to my house to play in the future, my father likes you very much.
At that moment, he seemed to have been shocked, a regiment commander liked a deputy platoon commander who was still in the internship period, what all this meant. He didn't dare to think about it, and he couldn't think through it.
Since then, Ma Xiaowei has often appeared in front of him at some point, and sometimes he simply comes to the dormitory to look for him. Ma Xiaowei doesn't seem to care about anything, every corner of the regiment is as familiar as her own home, because she grew up in this dean since she was a child, and this kind of psychological advantage is something that others don't have.
He was sometimes called to the health team by Ma Xiaowei, that was when no one was around, Ma Xiaowei was on duty alone, Ma Xiaowei was wearing a white coat, and he was floating in front of his eyes like a doctor. As soon as he walked into the health team and approached Ma Xiaowei, he thought of osmanthus and the health center. The health center in Gushantun cannot be compared with the regimental health team, and osmanthus cannot be compared with Ma Xiaowei. Thinking about it like this, he was in a trance.
Ma Xiaowei sat on a chair, sometimes put his feet on the table, leaned back and said something inconsequential to him.
He sat there in a regular manner, but his heart was very happy and relaxed.
When are you going to swim?
He remembered his childhood when he was a child, naked and fluttering in the water in the big river of Gushantun. So he talked about his hometown, and the big river.
Ma Xiaowei said: I said, why do you swim so well? I was choked with water, and I thought I would never live again.
She said it so lightly, as if she were talking about someone else's business.
He looked at Ma Xiaowei in front of him, somewhat restrained, as soon as he saw Ma Xiaowei, he thought of osmanthus, and when he saw the head of the regiment, he thought of Wang Zhishu. He didn't know what was wrong with him.
Once, he was hiding in the dormitory to peek at Osmanthus's letter, Osmanthus would write him a warm letter every once in a while, she said in the letter how she missed him, recalling the sweet days and nights in the company's guest house, sometimes he blushed and heartbeat. Osmanthus no longer expressed her hopes for him in the letter, and now his hopes have been satisfied with her. It's just a matter of an order. So she only talked about how much she missed him.
For some reason, he knew Ma Xiaowei, and after having a meal at the regiment leader's house, his letters to Osmanthus were obviously fewer. Naturally, unnaturally, he will compare Osmanthus with Ma Xiaowei. In such a comparison, his enthusiasm for osmanthus gradually cooled down, and his enthusiasm for Ma Xiaowei rose little by little. Just when he was reading the letter from Osmanthus that day, Ma Xiaowei slipped into his dormitory at some point, stretched out his hand and typed it on his letter paper and said: Whose letter are you reading? So seriously.
He was startled, and when he saw that it was Ma Xiaowei, his face flushed, he was afraid that she would see Osmanthus's letter, so he hurriedly rubbed the letter and put it in his trouser pocket, and said: No, it was a letter written by his father.
Ma Xiaowei said: It's not a girlfriend.
No, no, I haven't talked about it yet. He said that, and he didn't know why he said it.
Ma Xiaowei said: Rural soldiers like you have finally become cadres, and if you want to find a girlfriend, you have to find a city girl, so that you can completely leave the countryside.
When she said this, she seemed to see through the psychology of the rural soldiers. This made him feel inferior and a little embarrassed.
She said again: Even if you have a girlfriend, it's nothing, and if you have it, you can blow it again.
The next thing she looked at him was with big, round eyes. At that moment, he seemed to have been hit by a stray bullet. Even a fool can understand Ma Xiaowei's attitude towards him, besides, he is now the deputy platoon commander of the internship, and his eyes are also discerning.
From that moment on, he made up his mind to break off this relationship with Osmanthus. From the very beginning of his relationship with Osmanthus, he felt that he was the best in the world, let him join the party, and let him be promoted. Now that the peaches are ripe, Osmanthus is going to pick his peach again. Osmanthus had already talked to him about marriage in the letter. If there was no Ma Xiaowei, he would feel very happy. If you want to compare Ma Xiaowei with Osmanthus, Osmanthus makes him feel disgusting, who is Head Ma, and who is Wang Zhishu. He is now a quasi-officer, which means that he will never return to the backer in this life. What is the Wang branch secretary, and what is the osmanthus.
After thinking about it like this, the balance of his feelings tilted significantly. In the past, in the dead of night, he still tasted every detail when he was close to osmanthus again and again, as well as the feelings of bits and pieces. At that time, every time he tasted it, he was happy. Now, when he thinks of this, he feels a sense of humiliation, both mentally and physically. He regretted his impulsiveness a little.
There are rumors up and down the regiment that Commander Ma is going to be transferred to the division to be the chief of staff.
He began to stop writing letters to Osmanthus. Osmanthus still wrote frequently, first saying how to miss him, and then accusing him of changing his mind, not having her in his heart, and saying that if this is the case, he will come to the army, and find him to ask for an understanding. He read the osmanthus letter at a glance, then tore it up and threw it into the toilet.
He now comes and goes to the health team more often. As soon as he saw Ma Xiaowei's figure, he was happy and excited. He didn't go to the health team, so Ma Xiaowei came to him. Although the two did not explain, their hearts were like mirrors. The most important thing is that when he learned from Ma Xiaowei's mouth that Commander Ma went to be the chief of staff of the division was not a rumor, but a real thing, his excited heart began to boil.
