Chapter 46: The Glory of the Soldiers
Those of us who want to be educated but not educated, and who only have so many years of manual skills, are only laid-off, and we have some savings for so many years, plus subsidies for laid-off workers, and we can buy this car with some money. Joined a taxi company, finally for the family to find a source of income, but now the price of housing is rising rapidly, we earn this money every day in addition to the oil money is not enough to subsidize the family, the children of the family are also going to take the university entrance examination, if I am admitted to the old life to provide for him, if I can't pass the exam I plan to let him go to the army, not only to reduce the burden on the family, but also to the dream of the military camp below the yuan. ”
The driver said his dreams, the family's predicament, and his dissatisfaction and helplessness in some aspects of today's society, and even had the idea of sending his son to the barracks just to reduce the burden on the family. These make Xiao Yu, who has always been smooth, have to seriously think about whether the various systems of the current society are correct and stable.
Soldiers, although they don't have to worry about food and clothing, also have allowances. But it is also responsible for defending the country from foreign enemies, and if many people in the country join the army with the idea of eating and mixing to get money, then the army will no longer be an army to defend the country, but a group of wine bags and rice bags, and they will forget the sacred duty they shoulder.
Although not all families think so, I am sure that 80 percent of the families now have this kind of thinking, because they do not understand the dream of a real soldier, do not understand the responsibility of defending the family and the country, and only know how to covet pleasure.
And only the 20 percent of the families who really understand understand the importance of the military and the cohesion of the barracks, not the hardships and harsh training environment that outsiders see. There have been many old people who still sent their youngest sons and even grandchildren to the barracks without hesitation after their eldest son died in the barracks. (I would like to pay tribute to the families of the martyrs who died bravely and express my gratitude to the soldiers who are on the front line in all aspects)
"Uncle, in fact, your idea is not advisable, the army is not a way to reduce the burden of the family, but a sacred and inviolable place, if you have this kind of thought, I think you should not send your son to the barracks, if he thinks so, he may be expelled from the barracks at that time.
If I didn't have this idea, it would be a good choice to go to the barracks, but now going to college is not a very good choice, if it were me, I would advocate that he go directly to the barracks, which is no longer the harsh conditions and harsh environment as rumored by the outside world, but on the contrary, it is much better than many college campuses.
Moreover, now the barracks are cultivating technical quality personnel in all aspects, and the barracks can not only learn things that cannot be learned in school, but also can be improved in terms of physical fitness. In addition, the military provides a greater support platform for outstanding talents in all fields and those who intend to stay in the army for development. ”
Xiao Yu saw that the driver master talked about his helplessness when he sent his son to the barracks, so he had to come forward to explain his misunderstanding of the barracks, no matter how he said that he is now a general of the republic, and he can't let his countrymen think that the barracks is a place where he suffers, suffers, suffers, suffers, and can't learn anything.
"What you say is true?" The driver still asked with some disbelief.
"Of course it's true, I'm a college student myself, and when I heard about the country's various military camp constructions, I dropped out of school and joined the army, and you think, is it easy to find a job now as a college student? It's not the same as wandering everywhere to attract people's eyes, and the family is better to go home and gnaw at the old. And the country is now recruiting all kinds of talents to join the army on a large scale, which doesn't show the strong support of the national team's army building!
If you really don't feel at ease, hand him over to me, and I promise that he will definitely get ahead in a few years, and if you are not satisfied, I will dispose of it. Xiao Yu almost patted his chest to prove the benefits of the current military camp, and in order to make the driver master more convinced that joining the army is better than going to some universities, he had to tell a small lie. He was originally a college student, but now he is just suspending his studies, and he is forced to say that he is a college student who dropped out of school and joined the army. At that time, the company had just begun to develop, and there was not so much time for the school company to run at both ends.
"Hearing you say that, I really want him not to go to any university and join the army directly. Since you are a college student to join the army, I read the news, college students have a lot of preferential treatment for joining the army, how are you now, how are you also a non-commissioned officer, why don't you even wear epaulettes, is this also the army's preferential treatment for college students and soldiers? The driver's master talked around and returned to the issue of him not wearing epaulettes.
"It's not a preferential treatment, it's just that I'm afraid of trouble." Xiao Yu said helplessly.
"What's the trouble with epaulettes, I think you'll be in trouble if you don't wear them. He poked his chin as he spoke, signaling Xiao Yu to look ahead.
This place is not very far from the Ministry of State Security, and you can already see the guard area to which the Ministry of State Security belongs. The driver showed him a group of people in front of him, a joint law enforcement team of soldiers and armed police.
The men wore steel helmets, green uniforms, white shoulder straps and belts, and red armbands of the Inspector on their arms. At a glance, people can understand that this is a military appearance inspection team that is setting up cards to check the appearance of soldiers. Because this place is relatively close to government departments such as national security, there are many people who have military positions or soldiers who come here to do business, so they will be used as a key card rectification point by the inspection department that inspects from time to time.
Some of the vehicles in front of Xiao Yu were inspected by soldiers from time to time, and some of them were detained on the spot. This made Xiao Yu, who had been avoiding the driver's question of epaulettes, smile bitterly, the vehicle is now in a dilemma, there are cars in front of it to be inspected, and there are vehicles blocking the back that want to go to the government department to do business, and the side is needless to say, and you are not the only one in the lane.
Looking at where he was, he shook his head slightly. Hey, why is it so unpleasant today, how can you be caught everywhere you go, is it retribution for your careless mistakes. Xiao Yu looked at his hands again, and remembered the feeling of grabbing Huang Juan's chest, which was completely different from the feeling he had when he grabbed it for the first time, as if it was bigger and softer.
"If you don't put your epaulettes on, if you find out, you will hear that your documents will be seized, and you will be punished." The driver's uncle saw that Xiao Yu didn't move, and hurriedly reminded Xiao Yu who was still silent in his memories.
Interrupted by the driver's uncle, Xiao Yu's thoughts also returned to reality. He was also a little embarrassed at this time, he had been avoiding the issue of epaulettes, just for fear of being seen by the driver, but now he encountered this situation again, which made Xiao Yu's head big for a while. Wear it, you can avoid inspection, but if you want to be known by outsiders, is it monitored, how can someone else's flat-headed person be monitored by you and have his own privacy space. If you don't wear it, it was found out by the inspectors, a general actually didn't tidy up his military appearance, and spread it out to let other generals think, let the chairman know what they would think, a person who doesn't care about the honor of the army, whether technology alone can control a military region and train hundreds of thousands of defenders of the republic. After figuring out the priorities of the matter, Xiao Yu made a decision.
Dai, if he is discovered, he will be discovered, and sooner or later he will be discovered. took out the epaulettes and badges in his pockets, put them on seriously, and said to the driver: "Don't be excited, don't be nervous......"
"What am I excited about, so nervous, I'm not a soldier, it's not that I haven't sorted out my military appearance, what should be nervous is...... You" The driver's voice was already inaudible, his hands were tightly gripping the steering wheel, and he watched with disbelief as Xiao Yu took a pair of major general rank and put on his shoulder straps.
"Wait...... Wait a minute, you're taking the wrong one. Take it off quickly......" As he spoke, he was about to snatch off the epaulettes that Xiao Yu had just worn on his shoulders close to him, so that Xiao Yu, who was already wearing the epaulettes on the other side, thought that there was some attack and hurriedly dodged in the direction of the car door.
It doesn't matter if this dodge, the taxi that had stopped and waited for inspection and waiting for passage slammed left and right a few times, which attracted the attention of the inspectors in front, two inspectors had already looked inside the taxi, and due to the reflection outside, they could vaguely see someone wearing military uniforms and still moving, making them think that this was another ordinary soldier who was in a hurry to tidy up his appearance, and planned to catch a few more typical inspectors who ran directly over and opened the co-pilot's door............ Good chief. ”
When the inspector opened the car door, he turned around and tried to tell the others that he had caught another soldier or junior officer who did not pay attention to the image of a soldier, but the first thing that caught his eye when he turned his head was the golden epaulettes with flowers and stars. I haven't seen the specific appearance of the person yet, so I forcibly held back half of the words I said, and hurriedly saluted and changed it to the chief. The other inspector who arrived later did not understand the sound of the chief, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.
