The power of love is great, Ma Bayi was changed by love, and he began to do good deeds. Ma Bayi thinks he is a smart person. There are a total of 32 guards in the platoon, and in addition to the platoon commander Wang Changgui, there are 31 soldiers. Ma Bayi spent half a month to understand the general situation of the whole platoon. Among these 31 people, 25 were all enlisted in the countryside, either from this tun or that village, and the remaining six, including Ma Bayi, of course, were enlisted in the city. Ma Bayi got to know him again, and he found his own advantages, that is to say, the other five soldiers who enlisted in the town were all from small cities, only one was from a prefecture-level city, and the others were all born in the county seat, and they all graduated from junior high school. In other words, Ma Bayi feels that his level is there, he wants to make progress and progress, and the starting point should be very high. Other people's progress is to learn "Mao ** Anthology", sleep with a broom or something, he doesn't, he can see the doorway. In the twice-weekly platoon meeting, he always spoke actively, and other soldiers spoke, although they were veterans, but they were still a little stunned, stammering, blushing and heartbeating. Ma Bayi is not like this, he has lived in the army compound since he was a child, and the people who open and close his eyes are all soldiers, what is the platoon commander Wang Changgui in front of him? A small platoon leader. When he was in the compound of the military region, he could casually see ministers, chiefs of staff and so on. Ma Bayi always rushed to speak, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, from abroad to China, and when he talked about his own guard platoon, he could hear Ma Bayi's loud voice every time he held a rehearsal meeting.

Every time Ma Bayi spoke, platoon commander Wang Changgui always squinted, looking half-asleep. After Ma Bayi finished speaking, after a while, Wang Changgui opened his eyes and said to Ma Bayi: It's over? Ma Bayi said: It's over, I'll talk about this first, and I'll add something when I think of it later.

Wang Changgui rushed to others, and with Ma Bayi taking the lead in speaking, other battlefields were also eager to try. When other soldiers spoke, Ma Bayi felt an unprecedented satisfaction, because the voices of others were not as loud as his, and they did not quote scriptures like him, and they looked gray. Several times later, when Wang Changgui made a summary speech at the rehearsal meeting, he set his eyes on Ma Bayi, and then said: In the future, everyone should speak enthusiastically at the rehearsal meeting, and we should learn from Ma Bayi. Ma Bayi also hoped that the platoon commander would say something more solemnly, but the platoon commander would be at the end of the meeting. Ma Bayi felt unfinished.

This situation was just the beginning, after a few times, although Ma Bayi still rushed to speak, his voice became louder and louder, after each time, the platoon commander no longer praised him, did not even look at him, closed the notebook, and said very dullly: That's all for today. That's it, this kind of ending is something that Ma Bayi didn't think about, he was like being poured a basin of cold water on his head.

Later, Ma Bayi found another opportunity to express himself. The platoon has to publish a board report once a week, erasing the old people and old things of last week and replacing them with new people and new things this week. This is Ma Bayi's strong point, and he grabbed this job. Ma Bayi knows that the blackboard newspaper not only writes good people and good deeds, but more importantly, it is embellished, and it must be red and willow green. So after Ma Bayi's carefully arranged board newspaper, there were flowers, pines and cypresses, and five-pointed star steel guns or something. Before this, Wang Changgui had given Ma Bayi a script, which had good people and good deeds, as well as some fashionable slogans and slogans, all of which were ignored by Ma Bayi. He wants to pay attention to the situation, two words: "lively". What Ma Bayi didn't expect was that the board report on his front foot was wiped off by platoon commander Wang Changgui on the back foot. The platoon commander personally published the board newspaper, replaced with a lot of good people and good deeds, and the new issue of the board newspaper can always attract many people to come to watch, of course, most of them are those who are on the blackboard to sign up, and those who are not on the blackboard newspaper swear in their hearts with a red face and a thick neck, and they must let their names be written on it in the next issue. In other words, the blackboard has become a praise board, which is a stage for competition.

Once, Ma Bayi found that a soldier living in his bunk had written a letter to his family, which included the following sentence: Dad, my name has been on the blackboard newspaper in the platoon again this week, and it was written by the platoon commander himself......

Ma Bayi's opportunistic efforts finally came to naught. In this setback, he finally understood that if he wants to improve and perform, he can't do it without being real.

Every morning, there is still more than an hour before the time to blow the wake-up trumpet, the soldiers get up, they want to do good deeds, because Ma Bayi did not sleep with a broom the night before, and the next day he naturally did not have a broom, watching others dance with a broom and doing it in full swing, standing on the side, there is a feeling of superfluous people, but getting up still has to get up, standing aside, helping others pick up a grass thorn from the ground, or pick up wooden bricks or something, the courtyard of the division headquarters is not big, so many people are doing good deeds, The floor has been swept almost three feet to the ground, and how much garbage is left to sweep, and those who are dancing on the broom and doing good deeds in full swing have nothing to sweep, but this thing must be done, and the more thoroughly it is done, the better.

In recent weeks, at the platoon roll call platoon meeting, the platoon commander would always praise the names of several people, and those people were sleeping with brooms. Then he swept these people with his eyes, including Ma Bayi, which was considered a praise. Ma Bayi felt a sense of contempt and unattention in the eyes of the platoon commander Wang Changgui.

Ma Bayi's second round of efforts failed, during which he also tried to sleep with a broom, but he was unsuccessful, he slept too hard at night, and when he woke up the next morning, he always disappeared. He could see Yang May almost a few times a day, for example, when he stood at the sentry post, Yang May came in and out under his nose, or stood in line to go to the soldiers' canteen to eat, and he could always see Yang May. Yang May became more and more radiant in Ma Bayi's eyes, and Ma Bayi's heart trembled. Yang May, in Ma Bayi's eyes at this time, seemed to be the moon in the mirror, a flower in the fog, and high, and at the same time a little blurred. This feeling makes Ma Bayi both painful and sweet, in short, this kind of love tastes very uncomfortable.

Ma Bayi also tried to get close to Yang May. Before the lights went out at night, Yang Mayyue stood under the lights in the playground, holding "Mao Xuan" in his hand and studying very standardly, Ma Bayi was running on the playground, and he stopped in front of her. Yang May raised his head and shouted: It's you, Ma Bayi. Every time Yang May saw Ma Bayi, he almost shouted so loudly, which made Ma Bayi's heart tremble. Ma Bayi said humbly: May, are you still studying?

Yang May smiled, and Yang May's appearance under the street lamp became even more blurry and hazy. Ma Bayi stood there, looking at Yang Mayi's appearance at this time, his heart was trembling, and his whole body was trembling. Yang May didn't seem to notice his trembling, and said very calmly: Bayi, I didn't lie to you, the 21st Division is a good place.

Of course, it was because of Yang May's words that Ma Bayi came to the 21st Division. It can also be said that it was Yang May who changed Ma Bayi's life. Later, Yang May said: Bayi, get used to it, come to me if you have any difficulties, I am a veteran, and I will help you. Ma Bayi didn't dare to look back, he strode away. He said in his heart, you wait in May, I must surpass you.

Another unexpected discovery brought a turnaround to Ma Bayi's efforts. Each shift of the guard platoon is two hours, 24 hours in turns, once Ma Bayi stood on the night shift, not long after he took up the post, the soldier who picked up Ma Bayi came to pick up Ma Bayi post. Ma Bayi said: You read the wrong time, I just took over.

The soldier said: You are a new soldier, I am a veteran, I should love you, you go back.

Ma Bayi's heart warmed when he heard this, and after a few excuses, Ma Bayi went back to sleep. At the platoon meeting on the weekend, this soldier was praised by the platoon commander and was called a model of caring for new soldiers. When others were praised, Ma Bayi's face was red to the base of his neck, and when others were elevating themselves, he was obviously belittled. He learned from this failure and found a way to improve.

When he took over the post at night, not only did he no longer let others replace him, but he also had to stand guard for others, and he wanted to contract everyone's post by himself. He stood on a sentry post, top-heavy and his eyes were sore. In the moonlight, he saw Yang May's female soldier's dormitory, where Yang Mayyue lived in a certain room. He cried out in his heart: May. Tears rolled out.
