CHAPTER XVII
"Well, you eat slowly, no one will rob you. Xiaohu, you can go out~" Han Song coughed twice and hurriedly asked the correspondent to go out, his girlfriend was not ordinarily beautiful, and he felt a loss if he continued to look at it. The correspondent also realized his gaffe, knowing that it was not good to stare at other girls, so he smiled and walked out of the reception room neatly.
Li Xue ate a few bites, and then said to Han Song hatefully: "Han Song, sister, I'm hungry now, I can't stand it and be too lazy to take care of you, otherwise I will definitely give you a meal, you better think about how to coax me while I replenish my strength, otherwise when I recover, I will definitely not be able to spare you." ”
Han Song smiled and pushed his soup and rice in front of her: "Eat more, the food in the army is still good, you see, in addition to these two chicken legs, six dishes and one soup, the treatment of family members is good, we usually have four dishes and one soup." ”
Li Xue glared at him, put a chicken leg in the bowl, and pushed the bowl back: "Divide one of you, the province says that I abuse you, and you will continue to make me angry when you are full." ”
"How can it, you eat, you eat." Han Song hurriedly clipped it back again. But judging by the situation, her anger should have disappeared, otherwise how could she be in the mood to eat like this.
"Hmph, Han Song, I warn you, this is the first and last time, don't think that I can't control you when you become a soldier and Emperor Yuan's sister, it's a big deal that I graduated and came here to find a job. If you dare to find another woman to bully me, I will sue you for your leader. ”
"I only want my Cher, no woman is as good as my Cher." Han Song made a gesture to hug her.
"Don't make a fuss, let's eat." Li Xue glanced at him with disgust, "I took this letter with me, I'll go back and study who is framing me." By the way, are you training this afternoon? ”
"No training, today Saturday, rest in the afternoon."
"That~" Li Xue's expression immediately changed, and she would suddenly be embarrassed. Pushing his lunch aside, his eyes fixed on him.
"Can you stay with me in the afternoon?"
Han Song nodded hurriedly and hurriedly said, "Sure, I'll ask for leave with the squad leader, and I'll accompany you alone in the afternoon." ”
"You said, don't cheat!" Li Xue stretched out her finger and pointed at him, for fear of regret.
"Don't cheat, the military orders are forbidden, and they do what they say." Han Song patted his chest.
"I know that you are still the Han Song I know." Li Xue winked at him, sat down with a smile and continued to eat her meal.
In the afternoon, Han Song asked Huo Lianjie for leave and accompanied Li Xue to chat and hang out in the yard.
"Hey, where do you military families usually live?" Li Xue looked around and found that they were basically soldiers, and they didn't see anyone else, so she turned her head and asked him curiously.
"They all live in the family house, not here, behind the courtyard wall on the west side, and there is a road that leads to it. During normal breaks, officers and non-commissioned officers can go to the family home to accompany their families. ”
Li Xue thought for a while and asked; "Can you apply for a dependent's place, let me live inside."
"What, why do you want to live there, the house is not good at all, you have to abide by all kinds of rules, and conscripts are generally not eligible to apply for family homes. What's more, you still have to go to school, how can you live here, no, no. Han Song refused without thinking about it, but he was also very curious about why Li Xue had this idea.
Li Xue snorted, "No, I'm just curious, don't think too much." He walked beside him with his hands behind his back, looking east and west, but he did not speak again.
Li Xue came on leave, and she must go back to school tomorrow, so she has to leave this afternoon. And there is still a distance from the army barracks to the station, Han Songtuo Huo Lianjie found a place and a very familiar person will drive her there for a while.
"Han Song, how long do you plan to be a soldier?" Before leaving, Li Xue stood at the door and asked.
"Two years, two years later, I went back, and I was a junior. I'm going to have to get that diploma to find a job. Han Song touched her head and said, "I don't want to die in the barracks and let you wait outside alone." ”
"Will you marry me?" Li Xue pursed her lips and raised her head, her face covered with crimson color.
Han Song pulled her to avoid the surveillance at the door, to avoid the sight of the comrades on duty at the door, to avoid all the windows where they could be seen, and to take her to the room in the reception room at the door, holding her face, looking at her clear eyes full of affection, and kissed without hesitation.
"You are not allowed to marry anyone but me! You are mine, and no one is allowed to snatch it! Leaving her moist lips, Han Song whispered close to her ear. After confirming that the letter was not written by her, he understood that, for whatever reason, it turned out that someone did not want them to be together. But even if someone really stops him, he will not let go of all difficulties and not allow anyone to snatch her from him.
"Okay, you're a soldier. If you dare not marry me, I will put your phone number on the Internet, post it on the street, and then write a lot of money for a child, hum! Li Xue had already gotten the answer she wanted, she was in a good mood, and naturally revealed her little witch nature again, and without waiting for Han Song to say anything, she was ready to go out and get her own documents and leave here.
"Oh yes, I've heard people say that the army has some kind of medal of honor for outstanding soldiers, isn't it?" When he left the gate, he suddenly remembered something, and turned back to ask him.
"Yes, it is judged every year. Why do you ask this? Han Song wondered how she knew this.
"Remember to fight for me to come back, my boyfriend shouldn't be worse than others." Li Xue gently kissed Han Song's face and stopped at a shallow taste. With these words left to him, he walked out of the gate without hesitation, got into the car that had been waiting outside for a while, and disappeared from Han Song's sight.
Han Song looked at the shadow of the car that was gradually moving away, his hands were clenched into fists, and he silently thought in his heart, how can one be enough, I will fight for you to go back for two, one a year.
Li Xue's visit was a small episode, but it completely solved one thing in Han Song's heart. The next day, Huo Lianjie chatted with him, and after learning that the matter had been resolved very satisfactorily, he showed a meaningful smile.
If he had understood the meaning of his smile earlier, Han Song would definitely not have said that it had been resolved. Or, it can also be said that he began to really see the "cruelty" of the troops, and now in retrospect, Han Song still has lingering palpitations.
As the saying goes, when he was a soldier he regretted two years, he regretted not being a soldier for a lifetime, when he was discharged from the army, he also congratulated himself a little, and finally left here, and that night he howled with Wang Kai and other friends in KTV, and didn't know how to go home. But at six o'clock the next morning, when he got up habitually and subconsciously folded the quilt, he realized that he was no longer a soldier.
As mentioned earlier, after the recruits leave the company, they are in a period of time for large-scale spring military training, which starts in mid-March and lasts from mid-to-early May, and nearly two months is endless high-intensity physical training. When they were in the recruit company, all the recruits felt that three kilometers was a nightmare, and the physical and mental destruction of them was unprecedented.
But when they started the regular physical training of seven or eight kilometers or even ten kilometers a day after the spring training, and the adaptive training became twenty kilometers, they realized that hell really existed even more cruel than nightmares, and they would rather live in nightmares.
For veterans, three kilometers is just an itch, five kilometers is a pre-dinner fruit, and usually seven or eight kilometers or ten kilometers is normal physical training. It's not impossible to come to 20 kilometers once a month.
For infantry, physical fitness is the most basic and demanding. In fact, for all troops, the most basic is only two, physical fitness and shooting professional skills.
Professional skills are to better play the advantages of one's own class and kill the enemy to the greatest extent, while physical fitness is to ensure that you have enough strength to support yourself to kill and injure the enemy, or not to be killed by the enemy.
As long as every infantryman's shooting is mastered and his eyes are good, there is basically no problem. Physical fitness, however, requires long-term uninterrupted exercise to improve, and sometimes even requires challenges beyond the limit.
In addition to long-distance running, other physical training exercises that exercise physical functions have gradually increased in intensity, such as sit-ups, push-ups, squats, 100-meter sprints, and so on. The entire camp was filled with figures running at full speed and hoarse shouts.
During the daily physical training time, you can see fast running, jogging, turning back and running anyway, mixed with continuous shouts and roars, which are the exhaust gases in the chest cavity after the long-distance run to improve their lung capacity.
In view of Han Song's special performance in the recruit company, he was taken care of by the company.
"Han Song, the company commander said that you don't have to stand guard tonight, you will get up at half past four tomorrow and run ten kilometers."
"Han Song, you don't have to go out for morning exercises, go and run ten kilometers with the eighth squad leader, the kind that is stuck in time."
"Han Song, this is the grip stick and dumbbell that the company has set for you, put it away, and the company commander will let you grasp the strength stick and break it in a month."
Ahem, it is impossible to bend, and the requirement of the company commander is that he must do 100 in one go, at the level of 30 kg.
Basically, every day, Han Song would be patronized by all kinds of additional meals, but fortunately, it wasn't just for him. There are nine people who have suffered the same as him, and ten of them have formed a special physical training class, and their daily task is all kinds of training, and their task is also very simple, that is, to become the top students in the company, and in the future, they can win honor for the company.
Although, Han Song will steal a little lazy and play a little slippery head from time to time, this is also within the controllable range, and he will never waste a whole day of training time for laziness. Therefore, his physical fitness improved at a visible rate, his forearms were thicker, his thigh muscles were tightened, and eight-pack abs appeared side by side on his stomach, and the gap with the veterans was significantly narrowing.
However, there are destined to be some people, not long after the beginning, due to various reasons, can no longer persevere, in the face of such a high-intensity training, have to become "deserters".
This person is Zhang Huan.
For some reasons, Zhang Huan was still assigned to Huo Lianjie as a key object of care. Considering Zhang Huan's psychological factors, Huo Lianjie did not give him a special training plan, how everyone practiced, he practiced.
Under the high-intensity training, his weight dropped very quickly, and it was close to the normal weight range. But after all, his physical fitness is there, and his physical fitness has not improved much, but because of such high-intensity physical training, his psychological pressure is particularly high, and he often can't sleep at night, so he is particularly sleepy during the day, so the training effect is not good. Under the vicious circle, his physical fitness improved more slowly, and he eventually developed a serious illness, which also became the last straw that broke his will.
After being hospitalized for half a month, I couldn't keep up with the training that was already very reluctant, and because my body was still very weak, I couldn't complete a lot of training.
Considering this situation, after communicating with him several times, and after confirming that he had no psychological problems, the company transferred him to the battalion cooking class to do some logistical support work.
On the day the luggage was moved, everyone helped him sort out his belongings together, Zhang Huan was very depressed, and stood silently in front of the squad leader with red eyes.
"Don't be pressured, although the cooking class belongs to the logistics unit, but it is also a great responsibility, to ensure the food supply of the whole battalion, it is not simply a matter of being able to cook, there is another kind of exercise. Doing a good job is another kind of wonderful. Huo Lianjie looked at Zhang Huan, who was depressed, and comforted him in a low voice.
"That's it, Zhang Huan, you have to work hard, otherwise we won't be able to eat the fragrant rice you cooked, and we will have to beg you to open a small stove in the future, you have the power of life and death in our stomachs." Liu Bing laughed and joked, wanting to ease the dull atmosphere.
"Zhang Huan, are you just leaving?" It was Li Xiang who spoke, saying that after this period of training, his comprehensive ability has increased day by day, and he is already one of the best recruits.
Han Song glanced at Li Xiang, a little confused as to what he meant.
"I'm already dragging my feet and can only go there." Zhang Huan smiled miserably, his expression full of bitterness.
"Coward." Li Xiang coldly threw down two words and didn't pay attention to him anymore.
Li Xiang, who said these two words, was even more embarrassed.
Huo Lianjie glared at Li Xiang, and hurriedly comforted Zhang Huan, who was about to cry: "Okay, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, even if you go to the cooking class, you can get honor if you do a good job, don't look down on yourself." Han Song, you help send the luggage over. ”
Han Song agreed, picked up his duffel bag, and pulled him
"Be like a gentleman, don't cry!"
Zhang Huan held back her tears, tidied up her clothes, looked at everyone, and saw that everyone was looking at her, and she felt even more uncomfortable, so she reluctantly turned around and walked out.
Out of the gate, on the way to the camp cooking class, Zhang Huan stopped and looked at the dormitory building in front of him, and suddenly a sentence came out
"Han Song, am I pretty useless?"
"No, you're particularly useless." Han Song deliberately made a funny expression and said exaggeratedly.
"Maybe you can become a good cook, and a cooker is also a soldier!" Han Song said very seriously.
Zhang Huan smiled embarrassedly and scratched the back of his head: "I still didn't stick to it and became a deserter." ”
Han Song patted him: "You are not a deserter, you just changed a way of dedicating yourself." ”
"Hehe, tomorrow you can eat my fried dishes."
"Don't, you better learn from the veterans first, especially squad leader Huang, I heard that cooking is very fragrant. Now, you can't get your hands on the fried food, and the battalion commander will be unhappy. Han Song joked with a smile.
"Han Song, thank you." Zhang Huan suddenly changed the topic, and suddenly thanked Han Song, "Thank you for letting me survive the recruit company, although I know that those who enter the cooking class will basically not have any more outstanding places in their military career, but with you, I have no regrets." ”
"Haha, then learn to be a chef, and remember to fry me two eggs when you learn it!"
Zhang Huan smiled: "Actually, my cooking is very delicious, when I am at home, I often cook for my parents, and my skills are not bad at all." ”
"Well, then do a good job, and besides, I heard those old non-commissioned officers say that the cooking class is easy, and the outstanding soldiers will be selected at the end of the year."
"Really, but I think no matter how good a cook is, he's just a cook." Zhang Huan was a little skeptical.
"You can pull it down, do you think anyone can cook well, didn't the squad leader also say that he wanted to ensure the food of the whole battalion, this is not a meal for one or two people, but hundreds of people in the whole battalion, this is not simply for you to feed the pigs and you chop a few cabbages to deal with, you have to do it carefully."
"Listening to you say that, it seems to make some sense." Zhang Huan seems to understand whether he understands or not, but he is in a better mood.
"Revolutionary soldiers are bricks, where they need to be moved. Come on! Han Song cheered him up.
"Hmm!" Zhang Huan agreed heavily, and continued: "You are the same, don't embarrass the squad leader, otherwise, I will give you fried vegetables to eat, haha~~" After speaking, he took the luggage in Han Song's hand and walked into the cooking class of the battalion headquarters without looking back.
Looking at the back of him leaving, Han Song sighed, everyone knows that it is easy to persuade others and difficult to persuade themselves, now, who can persuade themselves.
