A beam of bright light hit Jiang Xiaolong.

Woo woo...

He crouched there, sobbing incessantly.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.

"I just want to live like a normal person, is that too much to ask?"

"I've served for five years and fulfilled my obligations, why, why haven't you let me go home?!"

"Rough! Rough!! ”

Bang!

His emotions exploded to the extreme, and he finally dropped his phone on the bed.

At this time, the second platoon leader quickly walked onto the stage.

"Mavericks? Maverick, what are you doing, why don't you go downstairs when you gather to take pictures? ”

Seeing Jiang Xiaolong's appearance, the second platoon leader hurriedly ran over.

"What's the matter, Maverick, what's going on?"

Jiang Xiaolong buried his head and said with a whimper: "Squad leader, I want to go home, I really want to go home!" But when I mentioned it to my mother, she always persuaded me to stay! ”

"Why, I've been doing it for 5 years, what else do you want!!"

The second platoon commander was stunned suddenly, and the expression on his face became complicated.

Promotion and discharge from the army are the only way for every non-commissioned officer, but only as a non-commissioned officer will you understand that this road is not easy.

I'm afraid that Jiang Xiaolong has not encountered such a thing alone.

The second platoon leader raised his hand, wanting to appease Jiang Xiaolu.

But he thought about it, stretched out his hand back, and sat down beside Jiang Xiaolong.

"Maverick, tell you a story!"

"I have a comrade-in-arms..."

With soft music, the second platoon leader seemed to go back to a few years ago.

"I still remember that year, he was faced with the same choice as you whether to demobilize or not!"

"In the months leading up to his discharge, as long as he called his mother, he would argue if he didn't say more than three words!"

"He likes anime and painting, and he wants to fight in society and create a career with his own efforts!"

"He is young and frivolous, he thinks that he is the center of the whole world, he is the only protagonist on the road of life!"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaolong slowly raised his head: "Squad leader, has he successfully discharged from the army?" ”

"He's staying!"

The second platoon leader smiled faintly, and his smile was mixed with bitterness and helplessness.

The more Jiang Xiaolong listened, the more angry he became.

"Why is he so cowardly?!"

Why should you let your parents manipulate your life? Still not a man anymore!

The second platoon commander shook his head: "He's not cowardly, he just doesn't dare to fight with his mother anymore." ”

"Because he heard his younger brother say that every time he finished talking to him on the phone, his mother was always so angry that she burst into tears, and even felt distended and painful in her lower abdomen, and she often got up at night to have a stomach problem..."

"He was afraid that his mother would be angry because of this, so he stayed in the team!"

He thought, life is given by his mother, so he should do it in return, these 16 years... Think of it as a repayment to your mother! ”

Jiang Xiaolong frowned, completely disagreeing with this statement.

"Squad leader, you're not right! Each living being is independent, so why impose one's own will on others? ”

"It's not fair! This is not a qualified mother! ”

The second platoon commander smiled again.

Who's to say it isn't?

No matter who this matter is put on, I'm afraid it's not easy to choose, right?

Jiang Xiaolong obviously listened attentively, and hurriedly asked.

"What happened then, what happened later?"

The platoon commander sat on the ground, clasped his hands on his knees, and continued.

"Although he was a little reluctant, he still completed every task given by the squad leader as usual, but..."

"It's just that after that night, he had an extra strand of gray hair on his head!"

"Later, he became a class leader and lived a dull life day after day, year after year..."

"It's not good! This story is not good at all!! ”

Jiang Xiaolong stood up: "Squad leader, you say, can such a non-commissioned officer do a good job, can he love the barracks?" Doesn't his mother know that twisted melons are not sweet? ”

"Damn, so damn!"

"If I have children in the future, I will never force them to do things they don't want to!"

Yes, if life is like a movie.

Wouldn't it be nice if everyone had the opportunity to chase their dreams and set sail?

It's a pity,

Life is not a movie, there are always regrets in life!

The platoon commander said slowly.

"In his military career, he won two third-class merits, and was rated as an outstanding coach of the four associations of the whole army.

"Humph!" Jiang Xiaolong sneered, "Then his mother must be very happy, right?" She would definitely say, if I hadn't asked you to stay, how could there be such a result? ”

Such a mother is so annoying!

"No, his mother has changed too!"

The second platoon leader looked up, as if he didn't want something to fall.

"When he first joined the army, his mother would say this......"

"Son, do a good job in the army! Suffering is a blessing, you have to do more than others in order to be recognized by the leadership! ”

"As long as there is a task, then rush forward! Don't be afraid! ”

"If other people's children are capable, my son will do it too! Don't be afraid to get hurt! ”

"Everything is fine at home, you don't have to worry, you are a real man, my mother believes in you, and you will definitely make contributions in the barracks!"

"But when he really made meritorious contributions, was promoted to the rank, and went up step by step, his mother would say this......"

"Son, do you still want to stand guard in the army this year? If not, take a vacation, you haven't spent the New Year at home in years! ”

"It's cold over there, you have to take care of your body, and the thick insoles that your mother made for you must be padded, and your parents are in good health."

"Last time, I asked Aunt Hong to introduce you to someone, how was the conversation? If you're not busy, get in touch and you'll get married! ”

"Don't be so stupid! You are now the class leader, don't rush forward with any work, let those young guys do it, you also have to be long-minded, don't be so tired! ”

"By the way, the weather has been getting cold recently, is your waist hurting again? Mom bought you a waist brace on the Internet, and some Chinese medicine, you remember to take it on time......"

As he was talking, the platoon commander suddenly choked up and couldn't speak anymore.

Even though he tried his best to control it, there was still a lot of sand in his eyes.

Jiang Xiaolong walked up to him and put a hand on his shoulder.

The two didn't say a word.

Silence is better than sound at this point.

After a moment, the second platoon commander adjusted his mood and continued.

Later, he learned that his mother tried her best to let him stay in the team because she was also young at the time! I want to save face for myself through the success of my child, but now..."

"Mother is old, she doesn't have that fighting spirit, she is often afraid, afraid that her body is slowly deteriorating, she has become only concerned about her son's health, not caring whether she can achieve honor..."

"Maverick, there are many choices on the road of life, and at different ages, we look at problems from different angles, and there is no absolute right or wrong."

"You may not be the protagonist of this play, but you are definitely the most different and unique one."

"Do you understand what the squad leader means?"

Jiang Xiaolong nodded thoughtfully.

It's just that he still has a question in his heart.

"Squad leader, are you happy now, comrade-in-arms?"

The second platoon commander wiped the corners of his eyes and said with a smile: "He has lived a full life!" For more than ten years, he has become accustomed to being here. ”

"He likes this camouflage and likes to train and work with his comrades, but he also has some regrets."

"When you return home from the army and return with honor, you must do your filial piety!"

Jiang Xiaolong sighed, in a complicated mood.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something.

Twice third-class meritorious service, excellent four-class coach of the whole army.

"Squad leader, this comrade-in-arms you are talking about is yourself??!
