Liu Shuanglin's approach to Fang Wei is very simple and popular.

In the daily training, the soldiers on Wenyi Road don't seem to take Liu Shuanglin, a small platoon commander, in their eyes, and the most basic training of recruits is nothing more than running in line, turning left and right, or keeping up with each other and taking a break. From the first grade of primary school to the graduation of high school, Qiao Nianchao and Fang Wei of the military region's compound attended the "August 1" children's school, that is, the military region's courtyard children's school, and the biggest difference between such a school and other schools is that it has militarized management, and from time to time they have to undergo military training for a month or two. These basic trainings for the recruit company have been completed since they were in elementary school. As a result, these old-fashioned subjects are not a big deal for them. They are not like those workers and peasants, who are fresh to all this, and they use the training and rest time to humbly ask Liu Shuanglin for advice. And the recruits in these compounds, when they rest, make a mess on the playground, this kind of collective life, as if they have returned to their student days.

Liu Shuanglin was unable to establish his authority in their minds. Fang Wei was in the queue, and it seemed that he had never looked at Liu Shuanglin squarely, Liu Shuanglin was dark and thin, and in their eyes, he was just a symbol.

These recruits in the compound, especially Fang Wei's attitude towards Liu Shuanglin, made Liu Shuanglin feel that his self-esteem was greatly hurt. He understands that these soldiers are completely different from himself, they can work in the army for a few years if they want to, and if they don't want to do it, they still have good jobs waiting for them when they return to the locality. In other words, they don't have to work hard, they are still better than themselves. He is now a platoon commander, and he does not dare to say that he will be able to find a job in the future, but if he can't find a job, he will be assigned to the county's resettlement office for demobilized soldiers, and maybe he will return to the commune, and the cadres of the commune will still live the life of a rural person. Liu Shuanglin was scared when he thought of that kind of life, since he was a child, he had enough of that kind of life of being a subordinate. He is now a platoon commander, and he wants to seize this opportunity to become a veritable city man. While he longs for the life of the city people, he hates the city people. He hated the people of the city who were superior to him from birth, and he had everything without effort or suffering. Especially the recruits on Wenyi Road, the way they looked at him made him feel inferior and painful.

Liu Shuanglin secretly swore in this torment that he must live better than them. When he thinks like this, his consciousness is usually more active than ever before he falls asleep. When the sun rises and he stands in front of those people, he is Liu Shuanglin again, and his attitude towards these people is flattering, stammering, and a little cautious. In short, Liu Shuanglin is extremely unconfident in living among the recruits on the literary road.

After having lunch at noon that day, he finally found an opportunity to talk to Fang Wei alone. He cleared his throat, and said in a trembling voice: Comrade Fang Wei, I will wait for you on the playground in a while, and I have something to say to you.

It was only then that Fang Wei glanced at him seriously, his eyes full of inquiry and incomprehension. She seemed to be about to ask him something, but he didn't have the courage to answer Fang Wei, so he quickly threw off and strode away.

Liu Shuanglin stood under a horizontal bar in the playground at noon when the sun was very good. He was restless, pacing back and forth. At this time, all the recruits had a lunch break, and only the people in the cooking class were sporadically moving around the playground. They were only free during these hours, and in a few moments, they were going to start preparing dinner for hundreds of recruits again.

Fang Wei walked towards the playground step by step, her walking posture was very beautiful, the wind swayed willows, but she was unswerving. When she was still three or two steps away from Liu Shuanglin, she stopped, she seemed to be panting slightly, and her chest was undulating imperceptibly.

She said: Platoon commander, are you looking for me?

He calmed his breath, and for some reason, he was a little nervous when he saw these recruits on Wenyi Road. He cleared his throat and said, "I'll talk to you."

She said, "I didn't do anything wrong!"

He was stunned for a moment when he heard her words, and when he reacted, he smiled and said, "No, you did a good job, so I talked to you."

Still puzzled, she asked, "What else are you talking about?"

She didn't understand why the platoon commander was still talking to her when she had done a good job. She looked at Liu Shuanglin blankly.

Liu Shuanglin circled under the horizontal bar, with his hands behind his back, as if he was pondering how to speak. After a long time, Liu Shuanglin finally said: Do you know what my name is?

Fang Wei's eyes widened in surprise, she knew his name, she didn't understand, why the platoon commander asked this. She looked at Liu Shuanglin for a while before answering: Platoon Commander Liu, Liu Shuanglin, what's wrong?

Liu Shuanglin felt a little better after listening to Fang Wei's answer. In his opinion, Fang Wei, these arrogant soldiers, may not be able to call his name. In these three months, he wanted to imprint himself deeply in Fang Wei's heart, and only in this way could he get close to Fang Wei in the future. Liu Shuanglin felt a little satisfied that Fang Wei could call his name. Then he said: We will be comrades in the trenches from now on.

The more Fang Wei listened, the more confused she became, Liu Shuanglin called her out at noon, and he was talking about this nonsense. Isn't it a comrade-in-arms, is it still an enemy? She couldn't help but be happy when she thought about it.

Fang Wei's smile made Liu Shuanglin completely relaxed, and he said again: I am now your platoon commander, and I will not be the recruit company as soon as it is over, I hope we can still take care of each other in our respective positions.

Speaking of this, Liu Shuanglin stopped, he stood upright like a soldier, and then recited as if saying, I, Liu Shuanglin, joined the army in the spring of 1972, is 24 years old this year, a rural soldier, and visited my home once......

Fang Wei looked at Liu Shuanglin's appearance, wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, just endured it, and finally couldn't hold back and laughed.

After Liu Shuanglin finished speaking, he relaxed with relief, he didn't know how to deal with soldiers like Fang Wei, and he didn't know how to deal with these high-ranking children.

After Fang Wei had laughed enough, Liu Shuanglin said again: Comrade Fang Wei, how do you think about your future?

Liu Shuanglin asked about his future and said in his heart, Fang Wei didn't think about it seriously, her mother wanted her to join the work, because she and Qiao Nianchao fell in love, and Qiao Nianchao wanted to come to be a soldier, so she came desperately. What will happen in the future, she has not thought about it at all. Fang Wei, like those carefree little girls, really didn't design her own destiny and future.

Liu Shuanglin asked her this, she felt at a loss, she didn't know how to answer, so she looked at Liu Shuanglin so vacantly.

Liu Shuanglin seemed to see Fang Wei's confusion, so he said: I know that your father is a senior cadre, and you can't be wrong no matter what you do in the future. If I were you, I would continue to work in the army, and what would I do in the future, wouldn't it be your father's words?

Fang Wei was afraid that others would say that she was a high-ranking cadre, and the day before she left as a soldier, her father called her to the study and had a serious conversation with her. In her memory, it was the first time her father had spoken to her so seriously.

That night, my father said: Xiaowei, you are going to be a soldier, I won't stop you.

She nodded at her father.

The father said, "However, you remember, this path is your own choice, and you should not regret it."

She didn't think about it at the time and said: Dad, I don't regret it.

My father groaned for a while and said: When you get to the army, you are like everyone else, don't think that your father is the leader of the military region and make excessive demands.

She said, "I see."

My father also said: You have to walk the road by yourself, so that your heart can be steady. Father can help you for a while, but he can't help you for a lifetime, do you understand?

She nodded incomprehensibly, at that time she just wanted to be with Nian Chao. She didn't understand her father's words, and she didn't want to understand them, living carefree from childhood to adulthood made Fang Wei simpler.

When Liu Shuanglin mentioned her father, she hurriedly said: My father said, he is him, I am me, and the road in the future depends on me.

Liu Shuanglin smiled again, his smile was a little complicated, he didn't believe Fang Wei's words. He added: "After three months of training, I will remember you."

Fang Wei didn't understand why Liu Shuanglin said this, she looked at Liu Shuanglin with wide eyes.

Liu Shuanglin said to himself: Comrade Fang Wei, if there is anything you need my help with in the future, just say it, I promise to go to the soup.

Fang Wei nodded, and shook her head again, she really didn't understand why Liu Shuanglin was saying this.

After Liu Shuanglin said this, there seemed to be no reason to stay with Fang Wei, he stopped talking, and Fang Wei looked at the dormitory over and over again. Liu Shuanglin saw what Fang Wei meant, so he said: You go back and rest.

Fang Wei left.

Liu Shuanglin sat under the horizontal bar and lit a cigarette, he was a little excited. This was the first time he had contact with Fang Wei alone, but he didn't expect Fang Wei to be complicated at all, although she didn't say much, but it could be seen from her eyes. Fang Wei is not like Li Yaling, Li Yaling is complicated, and in the end, he was defeated by his men. His self-esteem in Li Yaling's matter was greatly satisfied, and the face he had lost in front of Li Zhishu was finally recovered.

It's good to be simple, what he's afraid of is complexity. At that sunny noon, Liu Shuanglin decided to find a partner from a family like Fang Wei. He tasted the sweetness from the incident of saving the teacher's wife and daughter.

When walking in the evening, Fang Wei told Qiao Nianchao about Liu Shuanglin's conversation with him. After the two of them came to the army, they felt the constraints, although they saw each other every day, training and eating together, but there were so many people, there was no room for two people to move. They can only use the time after dinner to take a walk around the playground. At that time, many soldiers were also active in the playground, and they could only speak plainly, without even having the opportunity to hold hands.

Fang Wei talked about the content of Liu Shuanglin's conversation, but Qiao Nianchao didn't speak for a long time. Fang Wei said: Dumb, why don't you speak?

After a while, Qiao Nianchao said: I can see that this kid has no good intentions.

Fang Wei was puzzled, and still asked innocently: Who didn't have a good heart?

Qiao Nianchao said: There are so many people, he doesn't talk to others, why is he just looking for you?

Fang Wei stood still, looked at Qiao Nianchao seriously for a while, and said: He didn't say anything.

Qiao Nianchao said again: I'm here to remind you, you have to pay attention to him in the future.

Fang Wei nodded at him in the dark.
