Chapter 289: You're Your Father a Commander?
Hearing the word deserter, Zhou Zhongyi's heart trembled fiercely.
He gritted his teeth and said, "No." β
"What not?"
Lin Hui stared at him tightly: "You are the head of the regiment, our backbone, and the whole regiment will follow you!" Now you're going to fucking go and leave us all here? β
"It's going to be a martial arts competition soon, and the whole regiment is counting on you to bring it, what are you picking at this time, aren't you a deserter?"
Zhou Zhongyi's face was full of bitterness: "I can't help it......"
Lin Hui pointed at him and yelled: "Don't give me those useless ones." If there is any difficulty, let's help you together! β
"Don't say it, no one in our group can be less!"
"Have you forgotten what you said at the beginning, and work together to make our group develop better, bigger and stronger?"
Zhou Zhongyi lowered his head, his face embarrassed.
If he had a choice, why wouldn't he want to stay?
Here is his youth, everything he has paid, and the soldiers he is most reluctant to bear.
But he can't be sorry for his lover either.
He wouldn't want to leave at all if he could, but there was no way around it now.
He can only choose one between his two favorites, choose one, and discard the other.
Lin Hui gasped and sat opposite him: "You have something to say?" β
After a long time, Zhou Zhongyi raised his head and looked at him: "Lin Hui, what I know, what I said was indeed what I said at the beginning." I also want to participate in the competition with everyone, get the rankings, and watch the Tigers get better and better......"
Lin Hui was extremely uncomfortable.
He knew that even if he wore out his mouth, he couldn't change the mind of the regiment commander.
What should come will come after all, and you can't stop it.
If it were him, something happened to the person he cared about the most, and if he thought about it from another perspective, I am afraid he would also feel this way.
But he knew that the regiment commander was reluctant to leave, and he couldn't let go of the troops, nor the soldiers in the regiment.
For an old soldier, the army has become his other home.
No matter which one he discarded, he would be very sad.
Zhou Zhongyi held his hand and said, "This time I went back, outside the ward, I saw my lover lying on the hospital bed through the glass, full of tubes, my heart...... Unspeakable pain. β
He smiled bitterly: "After being a soldier for so many years, being able to go home once a year is considered a blessing from the Bodhisattva." β
"Over the years, she has been in charge of the family, although she has not studied much and has not much culture, but the family has been managed by her in an orderly manner."
Speaking of this, Zhou Zhongyi's body couldn't stop trembling: "If, if it weren't for the fact that I wasn't at home all the year round and couldn't help the family, she wouldn't carry me on her back and quietly go to the restaurant at night to serve dishes and work a second job." β
"If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have been hit by a car."
His eyes were full of self-reproach: "In the hospital, my son was standing opposite, and I didn't know how to face him. After so many years, I don't even know what grade my child is in now, and whether his grades are good? β
"I'm not a good husband, I'm not a good father, I'm sorry for them!"
Lin Hui stared at him: "But you are a good soldier and a good regiment commander!" β
Zhou Zhongyi sighed deeply: "I have dedicated all my youth to the army, and I have done my duty for so many years. Now, it's time to take off this outfit and get back to the family. β
"Although my wife woke up, her leg was gone, and she had to use a wheelchair for the rest of her life. The son is still young, and the daughter is even younger, and she has just started the nursery class. β
"I can't let her be like this anymore and continue to take care of them alone."
He looked at Lin Hui and showed a smile, "Actually, if I had changed to before, I am afraid that I would not be able to make up my mind and lose the army." β
"Maybe I'll have to be a bad husband, a bad father."
"But since I saw you, I've finally been able to make up my mind."
Lin Hui pointed at himself in surprise: "Me? β
Zhou Zhongyi nodded vigorously: "That's right!" At the beginning, when you were transferred from the border defense to us, you first led the progress of the Sixth Company, and then led the entire regiment to progress! β
"It's been a long time since I've seen people so motivated and so energetic."
He continued: "In the next exercise, it was you who led the people to eliminate the Blue Army Headquarters and turn the tide of the battle after the destruction of our entire regiment!" β
"The Tiger Regiment is going to be disbanded, and you are the first to stand up and take the lead in asking for orders at the division headquarters, and our regiment will be saved in the end!"
"The border dispute, it is also you who led everyone to drive away the enemy and keep the land of the motherland!"
ββ¦β¦β
Listening to the head of the regiment tell the past and the present one by one.
Lin Hui's tears kept rolling in his eyes.
I can't help but recall the bits and pieces of the struggle together.
Zhou Zhongyi slapped Lin Hui on the shoulder and dragged his thoughts back: "Especially the forest fire not long ago, I saw in you the spirit of the predecessors, as well as the tenacity to never admit defeat!" β
"At that time, you were like a great tree made of steel, standing in front of everyone, not letting the flames consume them, not letting the smoke drown them."
"You are a good big brother and a good commander."
"With you, I can unload everything without any scruples and leave with peace of mind."
Lin Hui's tears couldn't stop flowing.
He didn't have the slightest joy after being praised at the moment, only indescribable discomfort and reluctance.
But without the regiment commander, is this regiment still complete?
Lin Hui looked at him with tears in his eyes: "Commander, can you not go?" I've sent off the old squad leader, I, I really don't want to see a second familiar person leave. β
"It's so uncomfortable, that feeling, it's so uncomfortable."
Zhou Zhongyi's eyes were also full of tears, if there is a choice, do you think I don't want to stay?
Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been bad, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and no matter how you choose, you will hurt the other party.
He choked up and said, "Lin Hui, you kid is good at everything, but he is too emotional." β
"The troops, after all, people will come and go, and there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed."
"To be together is fate, and not to be together is providence. Do a good job, and try to bring our group out! β
He took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile: "I hope that after I go back, I will be able to hear the good news of our group again one day, and then give a thumbs up and say: Stinky boy, it really didn't disappoint me!" β
"When the time comes, I can also show off to others, saying that Lao Tzu was the head of this regiment back then, and in that regiment, there is a best soldier named Lin Hui, who is the soldier I brought out!"
Lin Hui leaned back in his chair, tears flowing down uncontrollably.
The pain of this separation made him uncomfortably breathless.
Zhou Zhongyi also gritted his teeth and cried silently.
He gently patted Lin Hui's shoulder, and the two of them were silent.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, a car roared out of the regiment headquarters.
Everyone was full of curiosity, and Wang Yong asked: "Early in the morning, where did Brother Hui go by car alone?" β
Everyone shook their heads: "I don't know? β
A few hours later, Lin Hui came to the division headquarters.
After getting out of the car, he rushed straight into the building.
As soon as he approached, he was stopped by two guards downstairs: "What are you doing?" β
Lin Hui said anxiously: "I have something urgent to find the teacher!" β
The two guards frowned, and he hurriedly added: "My name is Lin Hui, I am the battalion commander of the Tiger Regiment, and the division commander said that if you encounter difficulties, you can come to him at any time!" β
The guards looked at each other, and one of them immediately went to call for instructions.
After a while, he ran back: "The division commander said that he was in a meeting and had no time to see you, so let you go back and continue training." β
Lin Hui was in a hurry, what kind of meeting was held early in the morning, it was obvious that he was deliberately avoiding me.
He could only shout upstairs: "Division Commander, I'm Lin Hui!" It's you who said that when you encounter difficulties, they come to you, how can you talk and not count? Our head is going to change jobs, and he's about to leave, so you can at least see him! β
Several of the guards were stupid, they had never seen such a bold one.
He dared to shout at the division headquarters, and asked the division commander to come out to see him!
An officer rushed out quickly and pointed at him angrily: "What the hell, this is the division headquarters, whoever asked you to make trouble here, arrest him for me!" β
Several guards immediately rushed forward, trying to subdue him by pressing his hands behind him.
Lin Hui struggled desperately forward, and the combined efforts of four or five people couldn't hold him down.
He shouted at the top with his throat and red eyes: "Commander, you come out for me!" You're still not a soldier, your soldier is leaving, don't you even ask, division commander? β
At the same time, Lu Qingsong was standing behind a window on the third floor.
I never had the courage to take another step.
I was afraid that Lin Hui would see him.
The deputy division commander behind him sighed: "Old Lu, just let him come up, what does it look like to be noisy below?" I know you're sad, but he's sad when his head is gone, can't you just make it clear? β
Lu Qingsong shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, I know what kind of character this kid has, I can't help him, this is Zhou Zhongyi's own decision." β
"Let him shout, shout, his heart will be happy, and my heart will be happy."
His eyes were red, and his face was hard to hide his sadness and loss.
Zhou Zhongyi is his soldier and the best regiment commander of 602.
After knowing each other for so many years, the relationship has long ceased to be a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates.
Now that Zhou Zhongyi is about to change jobs and leave, his sadness is no less than Lin Hui, only more.
But as the division commander, he can only bear all this silently, even if he is misunderstood.
The deputy division commander sighed and turned to leave.
After a while, Lin Hui's throat was almost hoarse, and he couldn't call out Lu Qingsong.
He shook off the guards and walked to his car in despair.
After getting into the car for a while, he was just about to start the car, when someone suddenly called out to him: "Wait! β
Lin Hui turned his head and saw that it was the deputy division commander who was running quickly towards this side.
He got out of the car and saluted: "Hello deputy division commander." β
The deputy division commander looked at him and said seriously: "Don't blame the division commander, and don't blame him." Zhou Zhongyi is your regiment commander is good, and he is also a soldier brought out by Lao Lu, and now that he is leaving, the division commander is also very sad. β
Lin Hui didn't understand: "Then why doesn't he want to see me, at least we can help him do something before the head of the regiment leaves?" β
"It's useless."
The deputy division commander shook his head helplessly: "This time he insisted on leaving, and the report has already been typed." β
"He has difficulties at home, his wife is still lying on the hospital bed, even if he is cured, he can only use a wheelchair in the future, how can we help?"
Lin Hui said anxiously: "Deputy division commander, I know the regiment commander, I know that he wants to be a soldier from the bottom of his heart, he loves the army, and can even dedicate everything for the army." β
"Here is his youth, there are all his good memories."
"Now that something happened to his family, our troops didn't help him, so they let him go so gloomy, are we still human?"
The deputy division commander was speechless.
A soldier gave everything to the troops, and when he was in trouble, the troops did not help anything.
It's really unreasonable.
He looked at Lin Hui: "Then you say, is there any way to help him?" β
Lin Hui said seriously: "We can transfer him to their local army and let him stay closer to home, so that he can not only stay in the army he loves, but also take care of his family life." β
"And you can also secure a stable source of income, isn't it the best of both worlds?"
The deputy division commander looked at him like a fool, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Lin Hui, Lin Hui, you are really naΓ―ve." Do you think it's that easy to transfer people? β
"You are the commander of your father, just tune it?"
