Two days later!
The preliminary physical examination has been completed, the list of qualified pre-recruitment recruits has come down, and the last key link of the recruitment process has begun——
Conduct a home visit survey on each pre-draft recruit.
The BJ212 of the County Armed Forces Department staggered forward. It was really difficult to drive on the unpaved dirt road, and finally stopped at the end of a dead end road.
In fact, it can't be said to be a dead end road, but the road narrows here and is only wide enough for a two-wheeled cart.
Instructor Hong Xingguo got off the car, unscrewed the military kettle and poured a cup of water on his head.
The 212 Jeep without air conditioning is like a moving steamer when driving under the summer sun.
Shi Jin also did the same thing as Hong Xingguo, pouring water on his face that was red with heat to cool down so as not to suffer from heat stroke before reaching the destination.
"I think the soldiers from this place must have very good cross-country and mountain climbing abilities."
Shi Jin grew up on the plains. He looked up at the endless mountains in front of him, with a smile of anticipation on his lips.
"Wangshan is a dead horse."
Instructor Wang Xingguo wiped his face, feeling as if water turned into steam when it touched his face. He frowned and kept calculating: "There are three in Xiarongshu Village, and there are 20 in Dahu Township..."
"Xiarongshu Village is only 11 miles away, and Dahu Township is 39 miles away. Those are big towns with roads, so running is much faster than here."
The driver sent by the Ministry of Armed Forces interrupted Hong Xingguo. He was also a veteran and required precision in his speech.
"Rongshu Village can't be reached by car now, and walking takes too much time. If we continue to visit together, we will definitely not be able to finish reading it today. I remember that the man named Jackie Chan is from Rongshu Village."
Hong Xingguo really wanted to visit Jackie Chan in person, a good seedling that he thought was rare to see in at least 50 years, but today's work tasks were too heavy and he had to give up this opportunity.
Xiang Shijin said: "Third squad leader, let's separate. You go to Xiarongshu Village and keep an eye on Jackie Chan. Don't let him go."
"Instructor, I'm just the squad leader. It's not good for me to go alone." Shi Jin hesitated.
"From a pragmatic point of view, I think you look at the soldiers with more poisonous eyes than your company commander. He is so frizzy and impatient that you are not as careful as you." Hong Xingguo encouraged.
"Okay, since the instructor believes in me, I'll do this."
Shi Jin's personality tends to be calm, and he won't be aggressive in doing things, but he won't irritate women either. He will salute and turn around and leave.
"Remember, meet here at 6:30." Hong Xingguo added later.
"Hey, Squad Leader Shi, that's the 11-mile mountain road. It's very difficult to walk. Are you sure you won't get lost?" the driver asked worriedly from behind.
"I'm an infantryman in the Reconnaissance Company."
Shi Jin simply replied with a few words, but every word was filled with pride.
Not everyone can be a scout.
"If a scout can't even walk on mountain roads, then it doesn't mean that his job is in vain."
Hong Xingguo smiled and patted the driver's shoulder, telling him not to worry, and then said: "Get in the car, we have a heavy task today."
…
The earliest special forces of country Z came from the reconnaissance company. It can be said that the reconnaissance company is the next level of the special forces. The quality of individual soldiers is far higher than that of ordinary company soldiers.
11 miles is only 5.5 kilometers. For the scouts, this distance is about the same as eating and drinking.
Even if it’s a mountain road!
Shi Jin was a little sweaty, so he came to Xiarongshu Village along the road smoothly.
The home visit investigation required the cooperation of village cadres. Shi Jin happened to meet a few old men at the entrance of the village and asked them where the village director's home was.
As I said before, there are only a few households in Xiarongshu Village, so big things will be known to everyone.
Now there is a "chief" wearing a military uniform. This is the first time in Xiarongshu Village. The news spread throughout the village in an instant.
These old men were quite strategic, they walked tremblingly, and they knew how to divide their troops into two groups.
He ran all the way back to "spread the news" and told other people in the village that something strange was going on in the village today, and he quickly went to the village director's house to join in the fun.
People along the way enthusiastically offered to lead the way and asked all kinds of weird questions.
"Is there someone in our village who has broken the law? Are you here to arrest him?"
"How senior are you in the army? What do the two crooks on your shoulders mean?"
"Do you have tanks in your army? Do tanks and tractors have the same firing method?"
"How much do you earn per month?"
"Have you got a wife? Why don't you introduce her to the daughter of the widow of the king of the village next door?"
…
The three old men kept asking various questions, and Shi Jin was not the kind of person who was good at rejecting questions, so he could only explain and answer as much as possible in a dumbfounded way.
He felt that if he stayed like this for another hour, he would no longer be a soldier, but would definitely become an aunt.
He wanted to get rid of this torture quickly, but these old men couldn't move quickly because of their weak legs and feet. Shi Jin could only patiently walk slowly together.
Because too much time was wasted on the road, by the time Shi Jin was led into the gate of Cheng Guoqiang's courtyard, more than a dozen melon-eating villagers had gathered inside.
There are uncles, aunts, little kids, and old people with gray flowers.
Everyone stared at him, which made Shi Jin feel like he was turning into a zoo, making every part of his body uncomfortable.
"Team Leader Shi, come and sit. Come and sit."
"Why don't you come and notify me in advance? I'll drive a motorcycle to pick you up. Look at how hot and sweaty you are."
"Chengcai, Chengcai, hurry up and bring some strong tea to refresh Squad Leader Shi."
"Jackie Chan, please talk to Squad Leader Shi."
Cheng Guoqiang has been the village director for so many years and is very experienced in the world of people. As he spoke, he pulled Shi Jin to sit down next to Jackie Chan, and he also ran back to the house in confusion.
With so many people coming to the village to join in the fun, there must be no room to sit inside the house, so they can only sit outside in the yard.
Anyway, there is a shed on the left side of the yard outside, and the mountain breeze blowing from the mountain is very cool. Sitting under it is cooler than inside the house.
Chengcai knew that today was his big day, so he ran back to the house and poured a glass of water out, then handed it to Shi Jin respectfully with both hands.
Cheng Cai had no intention of entertaining the dozen or so villagers who came to join in the fun.
The villagers all know what it means to be successful. This boy has been very snobbish since he was a child, and they all got in front of Shi Jin and began to wonder about the baby.
When Cheng Guoqiang put some melon seeds, peanuts and fruits in a small bamboo basket, he brought it out to entertain Shi Jin.
Seeing that Shi Jin was surrounded by a crowd, he could only sit there with difficulty, smiling stiffly in response to the enthusiasm of the villagers.
But Jackie Chan, who was the absolute core protagonist today, sat aside and smiled cheerfully, with no intention of going to the rescue.
