Chapter III
Yang May was regarded as an advanced model for the children of the army by the division, and the revolution has the meaning of later generations. Wang Changgui is a typical farmer's son, and the names and deeds of the two became famous in the 21st Division. In order to publicize this model, the division's political department organized several reports for the two of them, and Ma Bayi listened to one of them. He was not impressed by what Yang said in May, but he was deeply impressed by the report of platoon commander Wang Changgui.
Wang Changgui's report was very sensational, and behind the sensationalism, he also heard the ruthlessness. Wang Changgui started from his childhood, of course, he couldn't do without the backer, his parents died, he grew up eating a hundred family meals, and finally his distant uncle took him in, so he had a deeper affection for the people and this society, and he repaid the society when he entered the army. Platoon commander Wang Changgui's report was full of blood and tears.
Ma Bayi sat under the stage, looking at Wang Changgui, the platoon leader sitting on the stage, he seemed to see Wang Changgui's hatred for him again. It is the hatred of one class against another. Ma Bayi shivered all over, and shivered as if he was afraid of the cold.
Soon Yang May was promoted, she was appointed as a nurse in the outpatient department, from hygienist to nurse, from soldier to officer, Yang May completed a qualitative leap. And Ma Bayi fell from heaven to hell in those days. He thought that he could get closer to Yang May little by little through his own efforts, but what he didn't expect was that he was still standing still, and Yang May had already taken off on a rocket, leaving only Ma Bayi with a nightmare.
From then on, Ma Ba became silent at first, from the time the lights out horn sounded, he slept until the bed horn sounded, and when he went to the night post, he handed the gun to the soldier on the next shift every second, and he gave up all his efforts. and the fourth volume of "Mao** Anthology" placed next to his pillow, he almost didn't turn it over once.
Regarding Ma Bayi's performance, Wang Changgui has long seen it in his heart. Wang Changgui had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and Ma Bayi knew that kind of smile, and there were only two words: sarcasm. He also seemed to see what Wang Changgui wanted to say in his heart: What's the matter, you can't do it.
Sure enough, at the platoon meeting, Wang Changgui knocked on Ma Bayi without naming him. Platoon commander Wang Changgui said: Some people, the purpose of doing good deeds is not pure, just for show, it can't last long, such people have impure intentions, and sooner or later they will be crushed by the wheel of history.
When Wang Changgui spoke like this, he didn't look at anyone, looking into the distance very vacantly, but the soldiers were bright-eyed, and they looked for Ma Bayi with their eyes, and Ma Bayi was covered in a net, and Ma Bayi regretted that he came to the soldier on impulse at that time.
Yang May, who became a nurse, became more radiant, and the expression on her face always remained smiling, and her smile became even more charming. As soon as Ma Bayi saw Yang May's smile, his heart hurt, and he felt an indescribable feeling.
I won't talk about how Yang May served the people wholeheartedly during his working hours, but only in his spare time. In his spare time, Wang Changgui took a small book and went to Yang May to exchange and learn. On the playground at sunset, Ma Bayi could easily see Wang Changgui and Yang May standing under the trees on the playground to fight.
Yang May was also smiling at this time, she smiled and spoke, and looked at Wang Changgui with a smile. Wang Changgui looked like he was willing to be a son of a cow in front of Yang May, very humble, very loyal and honest.
Yang May sometimes took the initiative to come to Wang Changgui, and the two of them had a discussion in Wang Changgui's dormitory, and the door was hidden at first, and then closed. The voices of the two could still be heard. Wang Changgui said: Comrade May, my experience is the word "constant." You can't do anything without perseverance.
Yang May said: Comrade Wang Changgui, I admire your constant character.
Wang Changgui also said: Comrade May, I have found that we have many things in common.
Yang May said: I think so too.
The two sang and harmonized, making Ma Bayi sit on pins and needles, and Ma Bayi seemed to see Yang May's beautiful face and charming expression in front of Wang Changgui. However, what about Wang Changgui, that signature peasant face, trivial, and even a little obscene, how can he be with Yang May's vivid face? Ma Bayi thought so painfully.
Ma Bayi saw Wang Changgui's idea of beating Yang May, and he saw it from the beginning. Wang Changgui didn't know Yang May before, and it wasn't until he went to the military region to make a report that Wang Changgui knew that Yang May's father was the logistics minister of the military region, and the relationship between the two was established since then. At this time, Ma Bayi's heart was bright, he knew the platoon commander Wang Changgui, and he knew what Wang Changgui had in mind. However, what about Yang May, just because of Wang Changgui's peasant face? This made Ma Babai puzzled.
Now Yang May came to Wang Changgui as soon as he had time, and sometimes the lights out were blown, and Yang May had no intention of leaving, so the two talked in the dark.
Once, Ma Ba got up in the middle of the night to pick up the post, and when he passed by the door of Wang Changgui's dormitory, he heard Wang Changgui say: May, you agree.
Then I heard the sound of kneeling on the ground, and Yang May didn't move for a long time.
This sound startled Ma Bayi, and he stood there in a daze with his gun in his hand, as if Wang Changgui was kneeling in front of him. Later, he heard Yang May say: Let me think about this.
Wang Changgui said: How compatible we are, you are typical, and I am also typical.
Ma Bayi heard Yang May say again: I have to ask my father's opinion on this matter.
Wang Changgui said: You don't care about this matter, I'll go to the chief to report.
Next, Ma Bayi left like a deserter. He stood at the sentry post, his heart beating like a drum, and he didn't know why he was like this. After a long time, he saw Yang Wuyue's figure walking out of Wang Changgui's dormitory and walking towards the female soldier's dormitory. That night, he had a bold idea, he wanted to talk to Yang May one last time. As soon as the idea came to him, he began to get excited. After being laid off that night, he did not fall asleep either, and kept his eyes open until dawn.
At noon the next day, Ma Bayi met Yang May, who was on duty in the outpatient department.
Ma Bayi's eyes were swollen and tired, and he said straight to the point that he could only get straight to the point. He said: In May, do you and Wang Changgui think about that?
Yang May looked at him in surprise, and the smile on his face disappeared in hundredths of a second.
Yang May said: Ma Bayi, what do you mean.
Ma Bayi said: I heard you talk last night.
Ma Bayi said this as if groaning, and looked at Yang May in despair.
Yang May said: Bayi, do you care about me, or do you mean something else?
Ma Ba said dunyly: Of course I care about you, what can I mean, how can I have other meanings.
Yang May smiled, and Yang May was charmingly presented in front of Ma Bayi.
Yang May said: I'm all promoted, I'm an officer, and I can fall in love.
The regulations of the army stipulate that soldiers are not allowed to fall in love in the local area of the army, which is a wall for Ma Bayi, but for Yang Mayi, it is a smooth road, this is the gap between the two people.
Ma Bayi looked at Yang May sadly, what else did he have to say. In the end, he said weakly: I don't think you and Wang Changgui are suitable.
Yang May smiled again and said very officerly: I am a cadre, I know what to do.
When she said this, she pushed Ma Bayi out again psychologically and emotionally. This is the distance, the distance between an officer and a soldier.
The last bit of hope that Ma Bayi had left in his heart suddenly came to naught. He left the clinic in a dream. When he walked out of the door of the outpatient department, Yang May stopped him again. He looked back at her, and she said, "Thank you, old classmate."
He wanted to smile at her, to look gentlemanly, but he didn't. She said behind his back: Bayi, you should work hard and strive to be a good soldier.
After Yang May finished speaking, he waved his fist at him.
Ma Bayi felt the sun in front of him, and he somehow walked back to the guard platoon. All the way to the guard platoon, he saw Wang Changgui looking at him with a strange gaze, inexplicably, he had a hatred for Wang Changgui, he couldn't tell why he hated him, just as Wang Changgui hated him. He walked over sideways and bumped into Wang Changgui, and Wang Changgui sighed. He didn't look back to his dormitory.
