When he opened the official letter from Ding County, there was only one piece of paper inside, but Wang Ke was confused.
If it weren't for his name written on the letterhead, Wang Ke almost thought the letter was sent to the wrong person. This letter was sent by the Water Conservancy Bureau of the local Ding County People's Government. The general idea is to use the winter slack season to conduct a planning survey and demonstration on farmland water conservancy in the county, and to prepare for a meeting at 9 a.m. on the eighth day of the new year in the county government conference room. Comrade Wang Ke is invited to attend the seminar of experts and scholars. There is also a bright red official seal stamped underneath.
This is just a big joke, right? It's good that the troops are stationed in Dingxian, but I am just a soldier. Even if you find 10,000 reasons, it won’t be your turn to invite yourself to a meeting. Moreover, this official letter does not understand the rules of the army at all. It should not be sent to myself, but to the Political Department! The most puzzling thing is how they knew their address and invited me to participate by name.
I will put this interesting official letter aside for now and wait until I read it before going to the company headquarters. Check with instructor Ding to see what's going on. Do you need to report it to the group?
Opening the second letter, it was a letter from Baocheng No. 1 Middle School. Wang Ke was even more surprised. He saw that it was sent by a little girl, and it began with:
My dearest brother Wang Ke, please be busy with work and training, for your sake.
You may never expect that I will write to you, so I won’t tell you who I am. I am already in my first year of high school in Baocheng. I heard that the college entrance examination will be resumed soon. Based on my current academic performance, I plan to review well and take the college entrance examination as an exception. No matter what the final result is, challenge your life and yourself. I think my dearest brother Wang Ke will definitely support my idea.
I have always followed your example. You are my motivation for learning and my direction in life. I must work hard to be a person like you...
She wrote five eloquent letters, talking about her ideals in life and how she overcame her learning difficulties. It sounds full of confidence and strength, which is called positive energy in today’s terms.
However, the letter ended with four words: Not well-known
who is this? Wang Ke thought about it seriously. He had never known a female high school student from Baocheng No. 1 Middle School, nor did he have such a sister. The only girl I know, Li Xueying, is only in the second grade of junior high school this year. She is still in Ancheng County, not Baocheng City, and she also calls her uncle.
This must be the consequence of the report that the reporter wrote last time, called "Red Star Shines on the Taihang Mountains."
Since I am not well-known, I would like to encourage you, but I don’t know who to send a reply to. Wang Ke smiled bitterly, this girl has a rough and big heart. Let's put it away first and wait until we know her name.
The third letter is from my parents. Friends are encouraging and missing, while parents are caring. The son traveled thousands of miles and his mother was worried. Wang Ke felt sad that he could not celebrate the Spring Festival with his parents for three consecutive Spring Festivals.
Thousands of families are reunited with lights, but only the soldiers are dedicated. I originally wanted to buy some red dates to send to my parents years ago, but the money was either donated to the old beggar or borrowed by Gu Maolin. Although I also wrote a letter to my parents, I guess I haven’t received it yet.
After reading these three letters, Wang Ke didn't want to read the last two letters, which were from Wu Xiangyu and Ye Qianpian. I don't want to read any of them. Firstly, I'm not in the mood. Secondly, I can imagine those two letters when I close my eyes. They contain nothing but disgusting words such as missing you and missing you. The two girls talked about these things all the time, without any creativity at all, and they could actually lie down on the table and write so much that they couldn't finish it in less than two hours.
In fact, the most important reason is not here yet. Wang Ke admitted that both girls are excellent. One is a military cadre who will be promoted in a few months, and the other is a university teacher. But what am I? Not worthy!
But Wang Ke was careless. These two letters that he didn't want to read almost cost him the next day.
After reading the letter, he got up and went to the company headquarters to report the official letter immediately.
As soon as we reached the top of the gable wall, Xiao Hou, the correspondent, ran towards us. "Just in time, the scout squad leader, the instructor is looking for you."
I really have a clear understanding, and I also need to find an instructor.
He quickly followed correspondent Xiao Hou to the company headquarters. "Report!"
"Come in!" It was Instructor Ding who spoke, "Reconnaissance squad leader, when your platoon leader comes back tomorrow, you can arrange a car to pick him up. Also, your wireless squad leader gets married tomorrow, so you go and invite the couple to attend the company's New Year's Eve party. Party.”
"Yes!" After Wang Ke answered, he took a step forward and asked: "Instructor, is Platoon Commander Yan okay? Why didn't you celebrate the New Year at home, and why did you come back on New Year's Eve!"
"He's still thirty. Calculate how long it's been since he went back. If it wasn't for surgery, this would have been a serious lie. He just called me through the military line. His car arrived at noon, so I asked him to take the call. This guy is very capable, and he can actually find the military line. You take someone with you and a quilt to pick him up tomorrow morning. He is not very mobile, so don’t miss the train."
"Yes! Instructor. Another thing I have is that I received an official letter from Dingxian County." With that said, Wang Ke handed the official letter from the Water Conservancy Bureau of Dingxian County People's Government to Instructor Ding.
Instructor Ding took it and said, "Hey, what's going on? You have nothing to do with farmland water conservancy construction. Do you know them?"
Wang Ke shook his head, "Instructor, I'm also wondering, how can you send it to me?"
"Is this a mistake? Tomorrow is the last day of work. I'll report it to the regiment, verify it, and then decide. But you don't know them, and it's not your turn to join the military-civilian joint effort!" Ding The instructor said to himself.
Wang Ke returned to the platoon and immediately found Xiao Gao, the squad leader on the phone. First, he discussed the arrangement of the party program for tomorrow afternoon. Second, he entrusted Xiao Gao to invite the newlyweds of wireless squad leader Huang Zhonghe to the company's New Year's Eve party on behalf of the company tomorrow morning. The third thing is to arrange for the platoon leader Yan Jiao to return to the team.
After everything was arranged, he turned around and shouted: "Niu Suo Zhu."
"Here!" Niu Suozhu ran over.
"At ten o'clock tomorrow morning, you hitch up the donkey cart, lay out a quilt, and bring another quilt. You follow me to the train station to pick you up. The platoon leader is coming back from the hospital."
Before Wang Ke finished speaking, Hu Yanlou interrupted: "Platoon leader, shall I go with you tomorrow?"
"Why are you going to join in the fun? You will be at home tomorrow morning and dry the bedding of Yan Pai Chang. At noon, take it back and spread it. Then wipe his tables, chairs, benches, and bedside and bedside. Leave the food for us, and make sure we come back at noon to line up. You can sleep and eat after a long time."
"yes!"
It's not that Wang Ke doesn't want to take Hu Yanlou with him, but because the company commander came to see him yesterday. This year, the company intends to let Luo Shaohuan serve as squad leader after the recruits get off work. In addition, Hu Yanlou, who doesn't like to use his brain but often helps in the kitchen, will be transferred to the cooking class as deputy squad leader. Hu Xinrui has been transferred earlier, and now two more people have been transferred. Only himself, Song Ruimin, and Niu Suozhu are left in the squad. The company commander said that the reconnaissance squad is where the backbone is produced. Three have left, and I will add three more to you this year.
What is a squad leader? The first squad leader is the benchmark soldier of the entire company. He usually stands in the first row of the entire company in formation, which is often called the "vanguard". It was equivalent to a promotion, which made Wang Ke particularly happy.
According to the arrangement of the company commander, starting from the fourth day of the new year, the reconnaissance team went on a business trip to the regiment health team to help organize the drug library. In this way, we will not delay reporting to the chief of staff of the regiment headquarters on the ninth day of the lunar month, so that we can continue to help the headquarters on business trips.
People are as afraid of being famous as pigs are afraid of being strong, and you can become a "brand" even if you go on business trips.
After everything was packed, Wang Ke went to find the second platoon leader Hu Zhijun. He was going to go on a business trip to the health team on the fourth day of the new year. He probably didn't know that yet.
When I got to the second row, I saw a man standing at the table practicing calligraphy.
"Platoon leader!" Wang Ke shouted.
Second platoon leader Hu Zhijun raised his head and saw Wang Ke. He immediately put down his pen and said, "Let's go out for a walk."
Every time he goes out to talk like this, something is wrong. Wang Ke followed him and walked outside. This time, the second platoon leader Hu Zhijun did not take himself to the vegetable cellar. Instead, he walked along the road in the camp, with his hands behind his back, directly in the direction of the third battalion and the regimental health team. He was silent all the way.
Wang Ke could tell that the second platoon leader Hu Zhijun had something on his mind, so he followed behind without saying a word.
"Reconnaissance squad leader, why are you following me to the front?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ke immediately took a step forward and walked alongside the second platoon leader Hu Zhijun. On both sides of the road, the poplar trees planted by Hu Zhijun when he joined the army are now as thick as buckets. "Reconnaissance squad leader, I have transferred out the company."
"Ah, platoon leader, where have you been transferred?"
"Transferred to the artillery section of the regiment headquarters and served as the deputy company commander's staff. Apart from the company commander and instructor, you are the third one to know. You will report to work as soon as you get to work after the new year." Hu Zhijun, the second platoon leader, was a little sad.
"Platoon leader, congratulations to you! You've been promoted."
"What can I say to congratulate you? When I leave the company this time, I will completely leave you and my comrades in the platoon."
"Platoon leader, what's the point? Aren't we still a regiment? I will often visit you when you get to the agency." Wang Ke found that when the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun said this, it seemed that it was not enough to support his bad mood. But I suddenly remembered something, maybe this is an opportunity.
"Platoon leader..."
"Reconnaissance squad leader..."
Second platoon leader Hu Zhijun also seemed to remember something. He and Wang Ke called each other almost at the same time.
Wang Ke was startled and immediately said: "Platoon leader, you speak first."
The second platoon leader Hu Zhijun also thought it was funny and said, "Reconnaissance squad leader, you should say it first."
"Platoon commander, I have something very troublesome."
Wang Ke opened his mouth, and the second platoon leader Hu Zhijun answered: "Is it about you joining the party? You don't have to blame the instructor, I also agree with his idea, you..."
"Platoon leader, it's not this matter. I've figured it out. I'm talking about another matter." Wang Ke hurriedly interrupted the second platoon leader Hu Zhijun. What he wanted to say was about Gu Maolin.
So Wang Ke told the second platoon leader Hu Zhijun everything about what happened to Gu Maolin with the machine gun. He was his old platoon leader and his guide. If Gu Maolin's matter was not told truthfully, how could he help him? he.
"Is there such a thing?" When the second platoon leader Hu Zhijun heard this, it was as magical as hearing Arabian Nights and Aesop's fables. "He can really see things from a distance and summon snakes in winter?" It seemed that he didn't believe it.
"It's true, Platoon Commander. It's absolutely true. I saw it all with my own eyes."
The second platoon leader Hu Zhijun was silent. He had also witnessed a miracle in Wang Ke, and it was possible that another soldier would really appear. Besides, Wang Ke couldn't lie, so there was no need for him to tell this lie to himself.
"Reconnaissance squad leader, tell me, what do you want to do?" Second Platoon Leader Hu Zhijun asked.
"I want to transfer him to our company, to our class!"
"This is impossible. How can there be a reason to be transferred?" Hu Zhijun, the second platoon leader, refused. He had just become a staff officer, so how could he open his mouth for a stranger.
"Platoon leader, no one knows about Gu Maolin except you and me. If he is not transferred, he may be discharged early from the machine gun company this year."
"Why is this still happening?" Second Platoon Commander Hu Zhijun fell into deep thought.
