Chapter Seventy-Three: Correspondents

Hu Yongquan is a veteran of nearly 30 years old, when he was recruited into the army as a university, compared with his comrades-in-arms who enlisted in the army at the same time, his mature mind and profound knowledge allowed him to stand out from the soldiers, and twice in a row withstood the test of non-commissioned officer selection, staying in the army for eight years, the most precious eight years of his life, he dedicated himself to the country without hesitation. However, he knew very well that he could not stay in the army for the rest of his life, "an iron-clad battalion and a flowing soldier", and retiring from the army was a problem he had to face.

In China, there has always been a saying of "30 years to stand", and the premise of starting a business is to start a family, "first start a family, then start a business" This concept has a very strong mass foundation in the vast rural areas of our country. Hu Yongquan is such a rural soldier from a remote countryside, and a man of his age is destined to be a bachelor for the rest of his life in his rural hometown. This made his parents in his hometown very bad, and long-distance phone calls were carried out on him at three ends for three days, and his parents, who had been persuading him to stay in the team, now all came to a 180-degree sharp turn. "Retire from the army, you must be discharged this year", this is the ultimatum made to him by the two old men. On the issue of whether they want their son's career future or their grandson, the two old men chose to have a grandson without any room for negotiation. In the face of pressure from his parents and his own anxiety about the future, he finally made the decision to retire from the army.

After making the decision to leave the army, he began to worry again. In his own words, the clerical post is an extremely important post, the replacement of the old and new documents can not be sloppy, if the most basic clerical work is mastered, it is very difficult to have more than half a year, from the moment he submitted the "application for discharge" to the squadron party branch, training new documents has become an urgent task for him.

Among the existing soldiers of the squadron, there are many people who are interested in paperwork, but after training several fighters in succession, he thinks that it is not suitable, in his opinion, doing paperwork is not only about passion and enthusiasm, but also if there is no profound writing skills, it is simply impossible to deal with the majestic and complicated documents and writing of the troops. He is a more serious person, in his world, there will never be words like "improvised" and "almost", in his heart, there is always an attitude of "rather lack than excess", until I appeared, he finally had a kind of ease to break free from the shackles.

"Why do you conclude that I am the successor you have been looking for?" At this moment, I have accepted my fate without resistance, perhaps it is his "sacrifice and dedication theory" that has moved me, or perhaps, I have seen my situation clearly.

"Because we have a lot of similarities, I have carefully read the "Recruit Diary" you wrote in the recruit company, the writing is smooth, the words are precise, and it coincides with the ideal candidate in my heart. After reading your first article, I already concluded that you would be the successor of the clerk. Hu Yongquan showed an excited expression on his face, if it were someone else, he would definitely feel flattered when he heard his praise, but I didn't feel a little excited.

"Bang bang bang" Just as we were chatting, there was a loud slamming sound outside, I quickly stood up and rushed to the door with an arrow, feeling that if I was one second late, the whole door would be smashed.

"Lao Hu, are you hiding and smoking again? Come on, come on, hurry up and give one, I'm tired to death" After the door was opened, a soldier with a camouflage hat on his head rushed in stride, threw away the newspapers and books he was holding, and then sat down on the table with the computer with a big grin.

Hu Yongquan smiled and didn't speak, casually threw a cigarette over, the kid stretched out two fingers, impartially clamped the cigarette, and then snapped the lighter in his hand, the action was chic, like a peer, when he put away the lighter, I noticed a few English letters on the lid of the lighter "Zippo", "Diamond King Lao Wu", this is his first impression on me.

"Yo, a newcomer is coming?" the Diamond King looked at me with a smile as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Let me introduce you to each other, this is the squadron's correspondent Qian Hu, this is the squadron's new clerk Wan Tian, hehe, the two of you will be comrades-in-arms fighting side by side in the future, the clerk and the correspondent must cooperate with each other, so as to form a joint force" Hu Yongquan used exquisite words when he spoke, and the angle of his speech was also high, which may be related to his long-term engagement in writing work.

"Tut-tut, cultural people just don't talk the same, Lao Hu, don't bring your apprentice to be the same as you, it's not that I don't like you educated people, the key is that I don't read much, have low culture, and I have low self-esteem in my heart, you fucking want to try to stimulate me, if you don't want to cause class contradictions, you can talk well in the future, OK?" Qian Hu rolled his eyes, showing a helpless expression to him, I deeply understand Qian Hu's protest, but Hu Yongquan didn't seem to take his protest to heart, just smiled awkwardly, perhaps, it's not that he doesn't want to get rid of this problem, but he can't change it, eight years is enough to change a lot of things, especially deep-rooted thoughts, once formed, it is almost impossible to change again.

"Damn, I really saw a ghost today, on the way to get the documents, I met a few boys who asked me about your situation, and I was tired of asking, so I said to those people where to cool down and where to play, but those recruits were quite rushed, and one of the sturdy guys even beat me, his grandmother's, what kind of world do you say, what are the current recruits crazy about, and are there any veterans in their eyes?"

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I apologize to you for those brothers, I've been locked up in a confinement room for half a month, they haven't heard from me, and they must be anxious for a while, usually these brothers are very kind people" is the so-called slap can't make a sound, and I don't bother to expose him. Qian Hu's bitterness was just to seek an inner sense of superiority, and it was not a glorious thing for a veteran to be bullied by a recruit to say it, and now that he had received an apology, he was quickly relieved.

"Ahem, it's not a big deal after all, recruits, I don't understand some rules, I completely understand, otherwise I would have done it with them" Qian Hu grinned.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, there is a recruit named Wang Xiaojie in the division health team, do you know? He asked me to hand over this letter to you, this guy is quite polite, the quality of the health officer is high, unlike those bandits in the special operations squadron, I have always eaten soft rather than hard, and after getting along with me for a long time, you will understand me" Qian Hu finished speaking, and took out a sealed envelope from his pocket.

I couldn't wait to open the envelope, the content of the letter shocked me very much, Xiaojie in the letter many times asked me to burn after reading, the content of the letter is only known to the two of us, and it must not be leaked to a third person, otherwise it may cause immeasurable consequences.

Because of the life and death of Xiaojie's sister, I didn't dare to be careless at all, so after reading it, I borrowed his Zippo lighter from Qian Hu, and burned the letter clean.

"Damn, no, it's mysterious, it's like a spy movie," Qian Hu exclaimed exaggeratedly.

I was taken aback by his expression, and after thinking for a while, I quickly explained, "Hehe, personal habits, a bit similar to obsessive-compulsive disorder, every letter must be burned."

Qian Hu glanced at me incredulously, Hu Yongquan's doubts were no less than Qian Hu's, what he was thinking at this time I can actually guess some, it is estimated that I was reflexively included in the category of enemies, I didn't take these to heart, I couldn't control the heavens and the earth, I couldn't control others to take off their pants and fart, they could think whatever they wanted, at this time my most important thing is to help Xiaojie solve the problems encountered by his sister, where the Tao is, it is incumbent, the blood that was originally calmed down in my heart has signs of boiling again.
