Chapter 15 Enlistment
Two days of torment have passed, and the official enlistment notice has not yet arrived. In the evening, after Zeng Zhiwen and Zhang Yulan got off work, Zeng Zhiwen sat at his desk and began to read a new medical book borrowed from Vice Dean Fu Changsheng, when suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door.
Zhang Yulan poked her head out of the kitchen, looked at her husband who was reading a book in the living room, and shouted, "Xiang Hong, go open the door!" Zeng Xianghong answered, put down the pen he was doing his homework, walked out of his small room separated from the living room, and opened the door.
Outside the door, the cold wind was blowing, and a soldier with thick eyebrows and big eyes stood at the door
"Who are you looking for?" Zeng Xianghong asked politely
"I'm looking for Dr. Zeng!" The soldier replied
"Please come in, my dad is here!" Zeng Xianghong said
After the soldier entered the house, he shouted to Hongchong's father: "Dad, a guest is here!"
The voice is quiet, it's useless, Zeng Zhiwen is very focused on reading, and he must be loud!
Zeng Zhiwen put down the book, looked up, immediately stood up, greeted him, and said, "Officer Kong, hello!" Please sit, please sit, Xiang Hong, go make a cup of tea for the guests! "
The person who came was not someone else, it was Kong Renjie!
The two sat face to face at the square table in the living room, Zeng Xianghong made tea and put it in front of Kong Renjie, and put his father's teacup in front of him.
Zhang Yulan rubbed her hands, suppressed the messy mood in her heart, and asked, "Officer Kong, just say it directly, we can accept any result!"
Kong Renjie smiled and took out a large cowhide envelope from his briefcase, stood up, handed it to Zeng Zhiwen with both hands, and said, "Welcome Comrade Zeng Xiangjun to enlist in the army with honor!"
Zeng Zhiwen took out the bright red enlistment notice, his hand couldn't help shaking, opened it and looked at it carefully, and handed it to his wife.
Zhang Yulan also watched the episode carefully, and Zhang Yan asked, "Officer Kong, where is the Xiang Jun assigned to be stationed?"
Kong Renjie did not sell his son, he acted like a soldier, and said: "I came to deliver the enlistment notice, I am here to tell you the news, Comrade Zeng Xiangjun was assigned to the Tasti post at the foot of Baruch Mountain, the forefront of the Sino-Soviet border, Tasti means stone pile in Uyghur language, this post was just set up in response to the increasingly severe situation on the Sino-Soviet border. According to Comrade Zeng Xiangjun's active request to go to a difficult place at the ideological mobilization meeting before enlisting in the army, the relevant leaders named him to go to the Tasti outpost for exercise! "
Zeng Xiangjun came to the living room at this time, and in the face of his parents' inquiring eyes, he nodded and said, "Dad, don't you often educate us to exercise in a difficult environment?"
Zeng Xiangjun's words hit Zhang Yulan's chest like a boulder, and his voice couldn't help but tremble: "That's the most outpost on the border, not to mention the harsh environment, the key is that once a military conflict occurs, wouldn't Xiangjun be extremely dangerous!"
Zeng Zhiwen stood up and said solemnly: "Xiang Jun joined the army, then he is a soldier, and the duty of a soldier is to protect his family and defend the country and sacrifice his life for the country, as a matter of course!"
Three days later, Zeng Xiangjun wore a new military uniform and a big red flower and rushed to the outpost called Tasti.
