Chapter 4: Twenty-six Years Later

Twenty-six years have passed, and it has been sixteen years since he returned to the world of civilization, and now Zhang Qifan has grown into an eighteen-year-old boy. For human beings, eighteen years old is actually still very young, but from the physiological category, eighteen years old has fully matured, and the mind has passed the most critical period of stereotyping, and can be regarded as a qualified mature individual.

So on this day, Zhang Qifan received his identification card.

"Hey, Qifan, let me see your identification card, what's the number? Let's exchange contact numbers. In the school, a slightly obese boy quickly chased after him from behind, patted Zhang Qifan on the shoulder and said.

Zhang Qifan didn't have to look back, and he knew who was coming from Lu Dao. Luo Cang, Zhang Qifan's classmate, can be regarded as the person with the best relationship with him in school.

Before receiving an adult or receiving an identification card, the contact number is a subsidiary number that is separated from the guardian, and the guardian can check all the records of the supplementary number. Although the content of the call cannot be queried for personal reasons, but even so, the rebellious teenagers feel that it is intolerable.

After receiving the identification card, you have your own exclusive contact number, even if you call your beloved little girl, you are not afraid of being known by your parents. Therefore, after receiving the identification card, the first thing many people do is to direct their contacts to the new number.

Luo Cang had already celebrated his birthday a few days ago, received the identification card, and agreed early to exchange the number as soon as Zhang Qifan received the card.

Zhang Qifan glanced at him expressionlessly, silently raised his left wrist, and the personal communication terminal on his wrist was inserted in it.

In human social life, communication terminals and identification cards are two indispensable and important things, without them, it is simply impossible to move an inch. Whether it is public transportation, access control, shopping, communication, these two things are inseparable. It's not just a bank account, it's a contact number, it's an ID, it's everything you can think of.

For Zhang Qifan's cold appearance, Luo Cang had long been accustomed to it, and raised his hand to put his communication terminal together.

With a bang, the display on the terminal reads: Establish connection ......, and there are two options below it: OK and Cancel. Luo Cang is naturally determined by choice.

After Zhang Qifan clicked on his terminal, the two officially exchanged contact numbers, and each could find their respective numbers from each other's address books. In addition to this convenient and fast way, you can also directly enter the number to add, and wait for the other party to pass the verification, just like those network communication tools in the Earth Era.

After getting this, Luo Cang and Zhang Qifan walked side by side to the classroom, and asked as they walked: "By the way, Qifan, you are about to carry out career positioning, do you think about what you will do in the future?" ”

Career orientation is one of the most important choices in the growth period of human beings today, and it is more important than the college entrance examination in the earth era. With the development of science and technology, the social division of labor is becoming more and more detailed, and the huge knowledge system makes human beings have to choose a specific branch and then carry out targeted education in order to effectively deepen it.

Before the age of eighteen to adulthood, students will only carry out basic quality education, after the age of eighteen, they must determine the direction of future development, and then enter a special college for in-depth education, this choice is called career orientation.

Is it to position yourself as a teacher? Or a chef?

If it is a teacher, there are categories such as adult education, quality education, early childhood education, etc. Early childhood education also includes prenatal education, infant psychology, enlightenment and other subjects. There are elective subjects such as nutrition, maternal mental health management, and midwifery in prenatal education. There are also instruments and drugs in midwifery.

If you choose early childhood education, but it is not good, the next period of time the whole society falls into a low period of fertility, early childhood education institutions a large number of layoffs, after graduation can not find a job, then it is over.

Therefore, it is not surprising that career positioning should not only integrate one's own interests, but also take into account the future development, and it is not surprising that the average family spends a year and a half researching, or parents start thinking about it from the birth of their children.

Zhang Qifan responded lightly: "Join the army." The voice was not very loud, and I couldn't hear any deliberate firmness, but it had a natural taste, which made Luo Cang stunned.

"Join the army?" Luo Cang felt that he had heard it wrong, and subconsciously confirmed it. I have known Zhang Qifan for ten years, and in his feeling, Zhang Qifan has a relatively indifferent personality, is very low-key in dealing with people, never takes the initiative to cause trouble, and is not the kind of person who is brave and ruthless. Such a character is not like a person who would choose to join a violent institution like the military.

Zhang Qifan nodded.

"For what?" Luo Cang's eyes widened with curiosity, and he asked eagerly, his size is not a good material to join the army, if Zhang Qifan goes to join the army, it means that he will part ways with his good friend.

"Fighting is what I'm all about." Zhang Qifan responded lightly, his tone was not very solemn, but there was a kind of natural taste.

Luo Cang seemed to know Zhang Qifan now, his mouth opened in disbelief, he couldn't believe that such words came out of Zhang Qifan's mouth, his classmate has a relatively indifferent personality, and he doesn't like to fight with others, he has known him for so long, he has never even seen him fight, how can he say such a thing as a matter of course?

"You...... You haven't even fought before, so how can you think that 'fighting is the purpose of your existence'? But that's a cool statement. Luo Cang's eyes lit up with little stars, indeed, no matter what Zhang Qifan thought in his heart, but the way he looked when he said this was really cool.

Zhang Qifan pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth hooked up a trace of disdain, and instead of answering Luo Cang's question, he turned his gaze to the sky, and the starlight outside the canopy was flickering, dazzling and bright.

……

Dragging his luggage to the ground commando recruiting office, Zhang Qifan couldn't help blinking, wondering if he had come to the wrong place.

A dilapidated and old-fashioned building, it covers a lot of land, but if it weren't for the huge sign of the recruiting office hanging at the door, no one would have been able to associate it with the commandos.

In the military building, there is not even a guard standing guard at the door, but there is an elderly doorman, looking at his leisurely appearance, it is not so much watching the door, but rather pensioning.

Forget the guards who don't stand guard, in the era when the access control system is so developed, they actually use 'people' to watch the door? Is it luxury? Or don't even have the money to install an access control?

But fortunately, there is such a person, at least Zhang Qifan can ask for directions.

The old man of the doorman looked Zhang Qifan up and down, as if he was looking at the expression of some rare animal: "You want to join the army?" Join the Ground Commando? Are you here to sign up? It's not April Fool's Day, is it? Are you sure you're not kidding? Don't look at the uncle, I will play tricks on people when I am old, with your body, the uncle can let you go with one hand. ”

A series of questions burst out of the doorman's mouth, Zhang Qifan listened silently, and only nodded lightly until the doorman was about to lift his sleeves.

The doorman was a little stunned by his indifferent appearance, what does this nod mean? Are you really here to sign up for the army? Or is it really here to play tricks?

Until it was confirmed that Zhang Qifan was really here to join the army and reported that he was really a ground commando, the doorman's expression became not like looking at rare animals, but like looking at a fool. pointed the way, looking at Zhang Qifan's distant figure, the doorman still had an expression of relief, and shook his head with regret or ridicule.

In the conscription hall, a row of large tables was placed in the spacious hall, but only one of the tables had people sitting behind them, and the rest had not moved for a long time, and a thin layer of dust had fallen on the table. It seems that there is no money to install the conscription office even for the access control, and there is no money for the dust-free central control.

The only table with people sat a fashionable young woman with her hair curled up and neat, her hands moving on the stereoscopic projection of her personal terminal, as if playing some kind of fierce game.

It wasn't until Zhang Qifan walked to the table that she reacted, raised her head and looked at Zhang Qifan in surprise, with an inquiring expression on her face.

"Sign up, ground commando." Zhang Qifan glanced at the sign on the table and made sure that it was indeed written as a recruiting office, so he put his backpack at his feet and sat down at the table.

The young woman blinked, wondering if she had misheard: "You want to report to the ground commandos?" ”
