Chapter 7: Goodbye, Instructor

At the end of the last night's training, everyone was tired and sleepy, regardless of whether the ground was clean or not, and just lay down on the red plastic track of the playground.

In the dark night sky, a few stars fell sparsely and scattered, playfully hiding behind the clouds, quietly poking their heads out to look at us.

The headlights in front of the rostrum shone on each of us, and I looked at the tired shadows of everyone under the warm yellow light, and the bits and pieces of this week couldn't help but appear in front of me one by one.

Military training life is really tiring, but the strange thing is that no matter how we complain and scold at the beginning, when it ends, we are only reluctant and emotional.

"What does it smell like?"

Suddenly, there was a faint smell in the air.

"Who brought the stinky tofu?" Zhou Bamei, who was babbling, was the first to smell it,

As soon as the words ended, everyone began to look for the source of the smell.

"Where's the stinky tofu? Where's stinky tofu? Lin Wanwan, who was still lying down and was about to fall asleep, sat up from the ground when he heard the stinky tofu.

Everyone's searching eyes finally fell on Hulai.

He took out a small bag of sealed stinky tofu in his hand, "Hidden for a week, the last day, celebrate?" ”

"It smells so bad, can you eat it?" Liu Meiran covered her nose in disgust.

"yes, take it, it smells so bad!"

Several girls expressed their dissatisfaction.

"If you can't eat, don't talk." Lin Wanwan snatched the bag without hesitation, and after opening it, he directly picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth.

"Hmm!" She shook her head and didn't forget to lick her fingers, "This taste, isn't it Granny Wang's stinky tofu!" ”

"Know the goods!" Hu Lai raised his eyebrows, "I love to eat her stinky tofu the most, and I didn't forget to ask her to seal a bag for me and take it with me before leaving!" ”

"Your common hobby is eating stinky tofu!" I stood by and watched them eat with relish.

"You can also develop this hobby." Lin Wanwan said and quickly took out a piece and stuffed it into my mouth.

"Uh-" Before I could speak, she covered her mouth with one hand, "Don't vomit!" I'll save you food. ”

I had to chew it reluctantly, but I didn't expect the taste... It's really good!

"Would you like to try it?" Hu Lai looked at Xu Promise with a look of disgust, took a piece, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Hulai, your uncle!"

"Whose stinky tofu?" A familiar voice pierced through the smell of stinky tofu and suddenly sounded.

"It's over, it's over."

Lin Wanwan hurriedly swallowed the stinky tofu, "Report to the instructor, it's from Hu Lai!" ”

"You!" Hulai still had the bag in his hand, "White-eyed wolf who can't be raised!" ”

I looked at the instructor's stern gaze and thought that this was over, and I didn't know how to punish it.

Watching the instructor approaching step by step, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva, who knows, the instructor just stared at the bag in Hulai's hand, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Hu Lai was stunned for a moment and hurriedly handed over the bag.

"Instructor, you also like to eat stinky tofu?"

I looked at the instructor, and he was not the same stern as before.

"I haven't been home for a long time, and I used to love to eat Granny Wang's stinky tofu." The instructor said as he took out a small piece from the bag and carefully put it in his mouth, which was not at all the same as the one he had gobbled up before.

The instructor closed his eyes and nodded in enjoyment, "That's the taste." ”

"So we're fellow countrymen!" Hu Lai's eyes lit up, he stood on tiptoe and put his arm around the instructor's shoulder, "I knew I should have brought more for you." ”

"Instructor, how long have you not been home?" Lin Wanwan sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at the instructor.

Seeing this, everyone also gathered one after another.

"It's been years." The instructor opened his eyes, a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

It was the first time I had seen the instructor smile, but I didn't think he was happy at all.

"You all think that the instructor is strict, even perverted, and that the military training is hard and tiring, but in fact, life in the army is much more difficult than here, and many people in the army have not returned home for several years..."

When the instructor talks about life in the army, it is as if he has opened a conversation.

Everyone's face was sweating in the light, and everyone's heart was also surging.

Everyone was fascinated by what they heard, and the instructor suddenly said, "Don't just listen to it, who's going to do the next show?" ”

We looked at each other, wondering if we had just met for a long time, and we were all embarrassed.

"Liu Meiran, didn't you say that you can sing and dance and be versatile, come on!" The crowd didn't know who said a word, and everyone echoed it.

"Yes, yes!"

Liu Meiran was pushed by everyone so much that her face turned red, and when she didn't know what to do, Liang Chaowei stood up and broke the siege, "I'll come, I'll come!" ”

He stood in the circle where we sat and cleared his throat, "Let me recreate the most classic clip of Infernal Affairs for you, that is, the dialogue between Andy Lau played by Liu Jianming and Tony Leung played by Chen Yongren on the rooftop, who will cooperate with me to play Andy Lau?" ”

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Saying that, Hu Lai volunteered to stand up, and for a second he had a serious face, "Hello everyone, I'm Leon Dehua!" ”

β€œaction!” The instructor brought the whistle to his mouth and blew the whistle.

Chan Wing-yan (Leung Chao-wei): What do I want?

Liang Chaowei immediately entered the role.

Liu Jianming (Hu Lai): You may not bring what I want.

Not to be outdone, Hulay was not to be outdone.

Chen Yongren (Liang Chaowei): Hmph, what do you mean, you came up to bask in the sun.

Liu Jianming (Hu Lai): Give me a chance.

Chen Yongren (Liang Chaowei): How can I give you a chance?

Liu Jianming (Hu Lai): I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person.

Chen Yongren (Liang Chaowei): Okay, tell the judge, see if he asks you to be a good person.

Liu Jianming (Hu Lai): That's to kill me.

Chen Yongren (Liang Chaowei): I'm sorry, then you should die.

"Liang Chaowei, your uncle also changed his lines!" Hu Lai played in a second and pushed Liang Chaowei.

The people below can't stand it anymore.

"Come down, you two! Do you really think you are Tony Leung and Andy Lau? ”

"Isn't it about the same!"

"Fuck off!"

The instructor looked at everyone's frolicking appearance, and suddenly sighed: "Youth is so good, in fact, your high school life has just begun." Sometimes you think that time flies so slowly, but in fact, three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you will grow up all at once. ”

Everyone stopped frolicking and listened quietly to the instructor's words, yes, we didn't know at that time, growing up was a matter of moments.

Looking at the instructor like this is actually not fierce, but quite reluctant, everyone is thoughtful, and no one speaks.

"Let's sing, sing the military song." The instructor suddenly said, "It's the last day, and I haven't brought you to sing yet!" ”

"Okay!" Everyone nodded.

"I'm up!" The instructor spoke, singing.

The cold wind flutters the leaves

The army is a green flower

Dear comrades-in-arms, don't be homesick

Don't think about mom

How many words of my heart I call day and night

Don't tear your eyes when parting

The barracks are our warm home

We sat around and sang this familiar song.

I looked at the crowd, and someone's eyes were already moist, and the singing voice was choking.

That night, the other classes went back, and only one of our classes and instructors were still on the playground.

The evening breeze of the summer night blows all around us, blowing away the smell of sweat from our bodies and also dissipating our exhaustion.

At that moment, our hearts suddenly got very close, very close.
