On the afternoon of the next day, the fifth party congress of the division opened with the solemn "Internationale".
Next, the conference preparatory secretariat will read out the list of delegate qualifications.
Wang Ke heard clearly that at least three of them were related to him.
"After review, 96 people met the qualifications for representatives, including 2 workers, 6 revolutionary soldiers, 83 poor peasants, 3 lower-middle peasants, 1 rich peasant, and 1 small owner..."
Wang Ke knew that he was one of two people who came from working-class families. Both of his parents were workers in the 1940s, and he was also a worker before joining the army. The working class is the vanguard of the party and is at the forefront.
"...Among the 96 representatives, 95 are formal party members and 2 are probationary members..." There was some "crowding" in the audience. It was the first time for many people attending the meeting to hear the words "preparatory party members". Some people immediately looked around and saw that this was a brand new title. This may also be the only meeting where delegate qualifications can pass the review.
Wang Ke lowered his head, fearing that others would discover that he was one of those two people.
"...Among the 96 representatives, there are 5 warrior representatives and 3 female representatives..."
In the middle of this solemn venue, Wang Ke saw the hanging sickle and hammer, and a sense of holiness and mission emerged spontaneously.
As soon as the morning meeting ended, Wang Ke returned to the guest house. He found Shi Hanlu and asked her: "A few of the representatives' qualifications review this morning included you."
"Four."
"Which four?" Wang Ke was surprised. He only had three, but she actually had four! Among the three female representatives and five warrior representatives, Shi Hanlu must be included. What about the other two?
"Revolutionary soldiers..."
When Wang Ke heard this, he immediately stopped. "Wait a minute, didn't you say your dad is an old Chinese medicine doctor?"
"Yes, but he is also a soldier, and he is an old revolutionary. He participated in the revolution during the Huaihai Battle, but he was just a captured medical officer, hahaha!"
"Your father is also a soldier?"
"yes."
"Are you a cadre's son?"
"yes!"
"What about another one?"
"There is one more thing I won't tell you." Shi Hanlu showed a rare naughtiness. Wang Ke suddenly felt that he had not discovered before that Shi Hanlu, whom he had known two years ago, also had many cute aspects.
"Don't keep asking me, Wang Ke, how many criteria do you meet?"
"I meet the three criteria."
"Which three? Wait, don't tell me, let me guess. Warrior, male..." Shi Hanlu pulled them apart one by one.
"You don't need to guess, I tell you, soldiers, workers, and probationary party members." When talking about probationary party members, Wang Ke's voice was a little low.
"What, you are a probationary party member and have just joined the party?" Shi Hanlu shouted. Her shout immediately made Wang Ke feel that he was three points shorter than her.
"How can you be a reserve party member? You are so good, and the whole army can't find anyone else!"
Shi Hanlu was still talking there, which made Wang Ke unable to bear it any longer. "The revolution is not in order, which shows that there was a gap between me before."
"No, no, no, I mean, you shouldn't join the party so late. I'm the only one like this..." Shi Hanlu immediately realized his gaffe, and his words stopped abruptly.
"So you..." Wang Ke immediately realized that he and Shi Hanlu might be really destined. She turned out to be another probationary party member!
"On what day did you pass the decision at the branch meeting?"
"I am on the 9th of this month." Wang Ke answered honestly.
"Ah, I am No. 8. I joined the organization one day earlier than you. I am an old comrade. Hahaha..." Shi Hanlu laughed again.
A representative qualification review actually brought Wang Ke and Shi Hanlu closer together. They are both warrior representatives and preparatory party members.
"Hurry up and eat. There is a buffet tonight. Aren't you going to see Deputy Commander Qin after eating?" Shi Hanlu reminded Wang Ke.
"Yes, yes, but let me ask, what is a buffet?" Wang Ke heard this name for the first time and quickly asked Shi Hanlu, don't make a fool of yourself then.
"The vegetables and rice are all put there. You can choose what you want to eat and eat as much as you want?"
When Wang Ke heard this, he muttered a little. How restrictive! Everyone is watching. If you beat too much, they will say you are a loser. If you beat too little, you will not be able to eat enough.
"You follow me when eating." Shi Hanlu seemed to notice that Wang Ke was a little scared, so she said: "Let's go to the restaurant to eat."
"Aren't you going to blow the assembly whistle?"
"No need to brag, as long as you go within the stipulated time, you can go anytime."
"Then, isn't it too unorganized?"
"Let's go. If you come with me, we won't be undisciplined." Shi Hanlu pushed Wang Ke from behind, then she closed the door and the two went downstairs to the restaurant.
There were not many people in the restaurant. When eating, Shi Hanlu was not as polite as a girl. There were a lot of things on the plate, especially the delicious ones. Almost everything was a double portion. Wang Ke followed behind, too scared to take food.
When the two sat down, Shi Hanlu realized that he was embarrassed.
"Wang Ke, there are rules here. You can't waste it. You have to help me, these are all yours." After saying that, he immediately switched his own plate with Wang Ke's, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
"Comrade Xiaoshi, you must have done it on purpose!"
"What are you talking about? You think others pamper you like Wu Xiangyu." Shi Hanlu rolled his eyes at Wang Ke, and Wang Ke quickly lowered his head, not daring to say anything. This female soldier must not look at her appearance, she is just as vulgar.
Wang Ke finished the meal as quickly as possible within two minutes, and immediately slipped back to the room after finishing the meal.
He has already smelled a hint of danger, and he needs to seriously consider it. If Wu Xiangyu comes back, only the devil knows what will happen to him. Why was he so obsessed today that he went to ask Shi Hanlu about those curious things.
Deputy Commander Qin will not come here to eat at the buffet. The division commander will arrange to sit in the small restaurant anyway.
The instructor of the Second Battalion who lived in the same room went out to visit fellow villagers. Wang Ke was alone in the room. He took out the book "Ouyang Hai" he just bought yesterday and started reading. This novel has just been published. It describes the growth of a soldier. At a critical moment, when the troops were crossing the railway, they were frightened by the whistle and the army horses were frightened. Ouyang Hai stepped forward and pushed the frightened horses off the tracks, saving the train and himself. A story of heroic sacrifice.
Wang Ke likes to buy some books like this every time he goes out, mainly to read them to the soldiers in his class. Such as "How Steel Was Tempered", "Red Rock", "Linhai Snowfield", "Railway Guerrilla" and so on.
Books not only bring strength to themselves, but also bring a new atmosphere to the whole class. If one day, when I grow old, I will also write a book, "Brother Bing".
Wang Ke watched for a while and heard a few knocks on the door. He was afraid of the stone cold dew again, so he kept silent.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk" knocked a few more times, "Is Wang Ke here?"
As soon as he heard it was a male voice, Wang Ke immediately jumped up and said loudly: "Yes!"
Opening the door, it was Captain Li from the regiment health team, followed by Director Chen from the political department of the division field hospital.
"Hello, Chief, Captain Li!" Wang Ke saluted immediately after seeing it. He thought he was looking for the instructor who lived in the same room, and immediately said: "The instructor just went out."
"If I don't look for the instructor, I'll look for you." Captain Li and Director Chen walked into the room, came to the bed and sat down.
"Chief, you guys sit down first and I'll pour boiling water for you." Every room in the division guest house has a thermos and tea cups. For this reason alone, it is several times better than the regiment guest house.
"No need to be busy, we just finished eating. Come on, Xiao Wang, sit down and let's chat." Director Chen pointed to the edge of the bed.
Wang Ke put down the teacup in his hand, put his legs together and sat across from him.
"Xiao Wang, how old are you this year?"
Wang Ke stood up immediately and said, "Report to the chief, I am 21 years old this year."
"Sit down, sit down, we are just having sex, don't stand up." When Director Chen said this, he was very moved. The Wang Ke he met a year ago has still not changed.
"Xiao Wang, are you platoon leader okay? He's the platoon leader who wrote that calligraphy for me."
Wang Ke suddenly remembered that the adapted poem by Ma Huaisu written by the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun was taken away by Director Chen and last year's Director Chen.
"Reporting to the commander, he is now the staff officer of our regiment's artillery unit. He is very good."
Upon hearing this, Captain Li next to him interjected, "Are you talking about Hu Zhijun?"
"Yes, Chief, is your calligraphy still there?" Wang Ke used both words, answering and asking questions.
"His calligraphy is really amazing, but it's a pity that my calligraphy was taken away by Wu Xiangyu."
It seems that what Wu Xiangyu said is true. "It doesn't matter, Chief. I'll go back and find another one for you."
Wang Ke secretly thought, Captain Li and Director Chen wouldn't come to discuss calligraphy with him tonight, right? There must be something else going on.
"That Xiao Wang, what are your future plans?" Director Chen asked. Sure enough, it started, and Wang Ke braced himself to listen.
"Xiao Wang, I heard Captain Li say that he wanted to transfer you to the health team and recommend you to go to the military academy. You gave up?"
As soon as the words were made clear, Wang Ke was immediately embarrassed. "Reporting to the commander, no, mainly, mainly I like company life too much and like the scout business."
"Revolutionary warriors have different positions. Wherever they are, they are all contributing to the construction of the army. For example, if we transfer you to the division hospital, we will recommend you to study as a military doctor and you will leave immediately." Director Chen changed the topic. He said tonight When I came with Captain Li, I still felt a little unwilling to give up. As an excellent soldier, it would be a pity if he could not be promoted to the backbone of the army. Moreover, Captain Li made some inquiries and found out that among the combat cadres recommended by the regiment to go to the command academy today, Wang Ke was not ranked at all.
Director Chen was walking with the old dean yesterday and unexpectedly met the soldier representative Wang Ke, which again aroused the old dean's admiration. The old dean instructed Director Chen to find out if the reconnaissance squad leader was willing to come to the division hospital. If you are willing to squeeze in immediately, you must squeeze in a quota and send it to the Military Medical University. Such a good soldier will shine wherever he is placed in the future.
So Director Chen immediately found Captain Li of the regimental health team. Captain Li then told Wang Ke's tactful rejection of the medicine. "Everyone has his own ambitions, and it's hard to force him." Captain Li felt that there was little hope.
"How can a pharmacist compare with a military doctor?" Director Chen felt that with his eloquence and the temptation of a military doctor, it shouldn't be a big problem to impress Wang Ke.
So tonight, the two of them met and came to the dormitory to find Wang Ke.
"Chief, I, I..." Wang Ke's face showed embarrassment, hesitation and rejection.
At this moment, there was another knock on the door, interrupting the conversation of the three of them.
"Xiao Wang, it seems you are a busy man!" Director Chen smiled.
