CHAPTER IX

It doesn't matter if the company commander is not a compulsory training item, each squad and platoon can choose on its own, and if you want to train, you can practice, and if you don't want to train, you don't force it. And Huo Lianjie means that more skills are not pressing, and learning more is a skill, and he will definitely not starve to death in the future.

Although I don't know what the connection between backpacking and eating is, Huo Lianjie's words are holy decrees in the class, and they must be obeyed.

As a result, there were nine squads in three platoons of the whole company, and only nine squads were urgently assembled for training.

At the beginning, Han Song and the others still didn't understand what they were doing with useless things to train it. Later, after the training after the company, and even after being discharged from the army, I slowly realized that this backpack is really useful. The backpack was changed to a backpack after the next company, because of this foundation, the recruits who went out of the ninth class were the fastest in the emergency assembly. After retiring from the army and entering the society, go out to work and pick up the quilt and leave, people who have been soldiers and people who are not soldiers, the form of sorting is different, those who have been soldiers are very organized, and a small suitcase can accommodate all the necessities of life for a big man.

From this matter alone, Han Song is still very grateful to Huo Lianjie.

When the recruits were crawling and crawling, they finally ushered in their first New Year away from home.

After the twentieth month of the lunar month, the smell of the New Year began to emerge, through the sound of firecrackers from afar, the trucks of local people delivering vegetables that kept coming in on the runway, and the intermittent increasing number of family members carrying large bags and small bags of things to visit.

Han Song is also constantly fantasizing about the first New Year away from home, yes, it is a fantasy, because this New Year is destined to make him have nothing to marvel at, and the army has never had so many bells and whistles.

On the morning of the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Huo Lianjie took leave to go out and took the eighth squad leader out to purchase New Year's goods, and the training of the eighth and ninth classes was organized by the deputy squad leader.

"Report!" The company officer on duty came back and ran directly to the company commander, "The door guard call, Zhang Huan's family is here." ”

Han Song glanced at Zhang Huan, this kid has been absent-minded in the morning training, and has been punished for making mistakes, and he will still be punished for standing in a military posture. Hearing the words of the officer on duty, his body shook obviously, and his head involuntarily looked at the company commander.

"I said how come your kid keeps making mistakes all morning, so that's the case." The company commander glared at Zhang Huan, "Zheng Chaoqun, go, take this kid to run 800 meters first, and take it directly to the company headquarters when he comes back!" "Turned around and went to the gate post with the staff on duty to pick up Zhang Huan's family.

Zhang Huan ran the 800 meters very uncomfortably. He did call his family, and on the day he called, he cried while talking. Everyone thought he was homesick and comforted, but they didn't expect him to call his parents.

The conversation between them will naturally not be known, and they didn't see Zhang Huan for a whole day, Huo Lianjie went directly to the company headquarters after returning in the afternoon, and naturally, the meal was sent to the company by the communicator.

Before resting in the evening, the eighth squad leader said a little playfully: "It's almost time to come back, why can't this little fat man think about it so much." However, you are going to be miserable, and you will either step up military training tomorrow to have a good New Year, or you will strengthen ideological education to have a bad New Year. ”

Huo Lianjie came back at about 11 p.m. When he came back, he woke everyone in Class 9 out of bed.

"It's been two months since I've been here, and we have to make some things clear in advance, who among you can't stand the life of the army?"

Han Song, who was sleeping in a daze, stood in a row, and was at a loss when asked this question. I don't understand why Huo Lianjie suddenly said such a sentence.

"You have come to the army from the locality, and there must be places where you are not used to it, and these days, I have basically met your requirements. However, the army is a place for training people and training qualified soldiers, not for enjoying happiness. If you can't bear this hardship, quit as soon as possible, don't waste everyone's time, and don't waste national resources. So if anyone feels that they can't hold on anymore and plans to quit as a deserter, say it quickly, don't make it difficult in the future. ”

Everyone didn't say a word, after all, before they came, they more or less knew what it would mean to be discharged or deserted. In addition, everyone has some purpose to serve as a soldier to a greater or lesser extent, and if they leave at this time, it is really worth the loss.

"No, yes, then remember your choice, don't regret it, okay, go to sleep." Huo Lianjie said this sentence thoughtlessly and went out again. Zheng Chaoqun didn't say anything, and asked everyone to go to bed quickly.

Lying on the bed, Han Song was thinking, could it be that Zhang Huan couldn't hold on anymore and wanted to leave?

The fact is that Zhang Huan really can't hold on. With his weight, it is a little difficult to do any training program, especially long-distance running, which is the last to finish every time, and he is out of breath and pale after every run. Sometimes other veterans will joke when they see it, if they run five kilometers, they will not run and die on the way, which makes Zhang Huan frightened.

What's more, before the recruit competition, the company also organized a five-kilometer adaptability exercise, the kind that does not require time, just run to get used to it. And that day, the veterans were also running five kilometers, and when they learned that the next company might be a company, several people didn't know whether it was intentional or kind, and pushed Zhang Huan forward and backward until the finish line, and Zhang Huan's performance was that he immediately lay on the ground and didn't move after running, no matter how hard the deputy squad leader pulled, he just couldn't get up.

Later, under Huo Lianjie's deliberate arrangement, Han Song felt this feeling, this feeling of pulling forward and pushing back in long-distance running is very strange, how to say it, most of the veterans call it the feeling of "letting the bullets fly", it is indeed a feeling of flying, the speed is super fast, and the body is basically not very strenuous, but you can't stop a step, you have to run without slowing down for a moment, and some of your body can't help yourself. However, because you don't run by yourself, your body is extremely uncomfortable, and your breathing and body coordination are completely inconsistent, which will lead to a very serious overreaction, and if it is more serious, it may lead to vomiting and dizziness.

During this period, Han Song heard Zhang Huan secretly talk about it a few times, he really couldn't train, it was too uncomfortable, and he was not so uncomfortable when he was so sick when he was so old. Han Song also kept comforting him, the recruit stage was like this, it would be good to get out of the company. also showed him his injuries, but he couldn't say any more comforting words, after all, he had never been a soldier, and he didn't know what his life would be like in the future.

So, insisting until now, coupled with the approaching New Year, the flavor of the New Year is getting stronger, Zhang Huan, who has never left home, retreated, and called home on the weekend, saying that he couldn't hold on anymore and wanted to go home.

There are some things, if you grit your teeth and stick to it, the time will pass after a long time, and you will get used to it. But once you retire or even interrupt in the middle of the process, it is more difficult to pick it up again and continue. Just like the arrival of Zhang Huan's parents, Zhang Huan had no intention of continuing training at all, and he was red-eyed in Lianli every day, accompanied by his parents, and the training of these two days was completely wasted.

In the end, after soliciting the opinions of the leaders of the new training brigade and his parents, the company directly asked the second elder to spend the New Year in the army to appease Zhang Huan's emotions.

There is no need to train on the 30th day of the lunar month, and each squad and platoon prepare materials for the New Year. In the morning, the dormitory was decorated, balloons, origami, couplets and other things were pasted, and in the afternoon, the whole company went to the cafeteria to make dumplings by themselves. Zhang Huan's mother's dumpling making skills completely stunned the recruits. The dough is formed after two casual kneading in her hand, and the rolling pin moves a few times to make a dumpling skin, put the filling, and a beautiful dumpling is ready!

Of course, the whole platoon of dumplings can't be all made by the aunt, and the recruits who have ideas hurry up to ask for skills, in case they bring the recruits next year and show their hands, not to mention that they can deceive those recruits, at least they won't take out ugly dumplings and be made fun of. Han Song also squeezed in to study, not because he wanted to bring new recruits, but when he came home from the army, he would show his hand in front of his parents.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the whole company gathered at the club to watch the gala, and all the snacks bought in advance were taken out, and drinks and playing cards were put on the table, and a class gathered around to chat. On this night, under the premise of not violating the rules and regulations, everyone can have fun as they want, watch TV, play poker, and take turns calling home to chat.

Zhang Huan's parents sat at the company commander's instructor and chatted with the company's leaders, while Zhang Huan was driven back to the squad and asked to be with the people in the class. Huo Lianjie glanced at him from time to time, and seeing that his mind was still not here, his brows were furrowed, and he took advantage of the break to pull Han Song and the eighth squad leader to go outside together.

"You two calculated me in the last competition, I have to return it this time, and find a way to let Zhang Huan stay in the army with peace of mind." Huo Lianjie took out a cigarette, lit it and took a hard puff.

Han Song didn't speak, and the two squad leaders naturally couldn't speak first when it was their turn.

The eighth squad leader touched his chin: "Squad leader, what do you think?" ”

"I can't bear it, if I don't know that his family is so serious, this soldier will retreat, and it will have no effect on me. Now once he is returned, the fine his family cannot afford. ”

Han Song was a little confused, there was still a fine for retiring from the army, didn't he go directly to prison? If that's the case~~

Huo Lianjie looked at Han Song: "You dispel this idea as soon as possible, retiring from the army has no big impact on Zhang Huan, but it has a very big impact on you, a college student, and the most serious thing is that there will be a record in your file, and when you finish your studies, except for going home to farm, all social work will have nothing to do with you!" ”

Han Song shrunk his neck and said carefully, "Is it really that serious?" ”

Liu Tian, the eighth squad leader, answered: "What do you think, besides, why is your ideological consciousness so low as a college student." And if you can't endure such a little hardship, and you can't endure the great hardships in society, then which unit do you think dares to ask for a person who hides when he encounters a little hardship. ”

Huo Lianjie waved his hand: "Okay, let's talk about Zhang Huan, Han Song will talk about it later." Hurry up and figure it out! ”

The eighth squad leader touched his hairless chin and said: "How about going to the cooking squad or the driving platoon, the training intensity over there is much smaller, and there is basically no combat mission." ”

Huo Lianjie glanced at Han Song again, and said without scruples: "Even if he goes, he has to finish the remaining two months, and now he plans not to stay here and suffer this crime." Han Song, don't roll your eyes, do you think of anything? ”

Han Song couldn't help but mutter, "You can see it so late?" What a look, this is. ”

Of course, I don't dare to say this, dare to say it, the two class leaders have definitely made themselves very "comfortable" in the past two years, and the methods are not the same.

Han Song cleaned up his mood and asked carefully: "Squad leader, is Zhang Huan's family particularly difficult?" ”

"Almost, his parents are honest farmers, and they have been guarding the few acres of land at home for a lifetime, counting on Zhang Huan to be a soldier and get out of that mountain village." Huo Lianjie took another hard puff of his cigarette.

"There is a younger sister at home, who hasn't even finished school, and wants to marry early and save some money for Zhang Huan to marry his daughter-in-law, but he doesn't want to wronged her. It's been so stiff all the time. ”

"It's so serious, didn't you explain the stakes to them?" The eighth squad leader frowned.

"When the second elder heard the fine, he almost collapsed there, he couldn't bear it, and persuaded Zhang Huan bitterly, but it had little effect."

"How much is the fine for discharge?"

"They have at least 10,000 there, and if it's serious, the fine is even more." The eighth squad leader took over. This 10,000 yuan is basically nothing to many families now, and for the villagers in the ravine, it is a huge amount of money!

"Squad leader, Zhang Huan is planning to leave because his physical fitness can't keep up."

"It's not all but it's also a trigger, and the physical fitness is all trained. Moreover, his family suffered a disaster this year, the crops were almost not harvested, and a gang of swindlers took advantage of the fire to rob and almost deceived the people in the village into bankruptcy. Zhang Huan wanted to retire from the army and go home and find the gang of liars, so that he could also help his family do something. ”

"Now his physical training is always not up to par, and if he can't keep up with the training, his mind is not in the army, but this fine also makes Zhang Huan very hesitant, after all, he also knows what the situation is in his family, and he doesn't want to make trouble for his parents anymore."

"Can't you be exempted from the fine?"

"Do you need to go so hard to persuade Zhang Huan to stay, it is said that the local armed forces department will also send someone over to see what the situation is after the New Year."

"Squad leader, I have a way but it may not be successful, then you can help me to set up a set of non-commissioned officer titles for temporary use, in case there is a patrol post, I will be able to pass the test." Han Song felt that he could try.

The two squad leaders looked at each other and looked at him suspiciously: "Can it succeed?" ”

Han Song scratched the back of his head and replied with a little weakness: "I'll try, I don't know if I can succeed." ”

Huo Lianjie stretched out his hand and ripped off the title of the eighth squad leader and handed it to him: "Use this." The eighth squad leader, who had just reacted, rolled his eyes at Huo Lianjie, but he ignored him.

Han Song's hand trembled involuntarily, the second title, this is a very awesome existence in the company, if Wang Kai knows, he will definitely envy the dead girl, I don't know if those veterans will be called squad leaders when they see it.

Thinking beautifully in his heart, the eighth squad leader said coldly: "Go and call him down now, I will stare at you with your squad leader in the dark corner over there, and return it to me when you finish your errands, and you will run around with my title to make trouble." ”

Huo Lianjie also had a natural expression, urging him to hurry up, and the two ran to the corner not far away and hid.

Han Song went up and called Zhang Huan down, of course it was still an old place, the two squad leaders could keep an eye on it not far away, if they went to another place, they would train him when they rested at night.

For the Chinese New Year, don't touch this mold.
