After talking to Fatty Wei, Hou Jun went to find Zhang Jian.

The two of them had such a conversation by the drainage ditch next to the basketball court.

"Children of the army?" Hou Jun asked.

Zhang Jian replied with some pride: "Yes, platoon leader."

Hou Jun said: "I don't care what position your father holds in the army, but since you are here to be a soldier, you must abide by the discipline of the army. Is it right to fight?"

"No." Zhang Jian said, "But he was the one who made the first move just now."

Hou Jun said: "Have you never thought about why he hit you?"

Zhang Jian said: "I haven't thought about reporting to the platoon leader."

Hou Jun saw that Zhang Jian was dissatisfied. The soldier's quality seemed good, but his arrogance was like the stench wafting from a septic tank in a toilet. It could be smelled several feet away.

It's a good material, but it still lacks steel fire.

"If you haven't thought about it, you have to think about it. There must be a reason for the use. I didn't ask Wei Guoxing why he hit you, but I guess he is very taboo about others mentioning his mother. I think as an educated person, he should know how to advance and retreat. , since you grew up in the army, it is said that you understand the discipline of the army better than them, and if you dare to fight in the future, it means that you are too energetic. I have no less than a hundred ways to solve the problem of excess energy. Do you want to try it? try?"

Zhang Jian quickly shook his head: "I don't want to."

"Hey!" Hou Jun finally smiled: "It's okay if you don't want to. It's okay. You can go back to eat. Remember, don't fight, otherwise I guarantee you will regret it!"

"Yes, Platoon Commander!"



Li Zheng was sitting in the dining hall, looking at Fatty Wei across from him as he plucked the noodles in the bowl listlessly, looking like he had no appetite.

"What, you were criticized badly by the platoon leader just now? Have you lost your appetite?"

Fatty Wei stopped pulling the noodles with his chopsticks, shook his head and said, "No... the platoon leader didn't scold me."

Li Zheng said: "Then why do you look like you are attending a funeral?"

Fatty Wei said, "I don't like noodles."

After thinking for a while, he added: "Didn't you say that the food in the army is very good now? It seems that the TV series are all lies."

Li Zheng said: "Noodles are a tradition of the army, didn't you know?"

Fatty Wei asked curiously: "Tradition? You mean we have to eat noodles every day for two years as soldiers?"

Li Zheng smiled, Fatty Wei just liked to be surprised.

It’s also crazy.

A man like him would actually serve as a soldier.

Judging from his figure, he is definitely the master of fine clothing and food at home.

No wonder looking at this pot of machine-made noodles makes me feel unappetizing.

"It's not like noodles are served every day." Li Zheng said, "I heard there is a saying in the army that the noodles are rolled out of the dumplings to welcome the new year."

"Ah?" Fatty Wei asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Zheng said: "That is to say, the first meal you eat when you are a soldier must be noodles, and the last meal you eat the day before you leave the army must be dumplings. So it is called the New Year's Noodles and Dumplings."

"Scare!" Fatty Wei looked at Li Zheng in surprise: "Why do you know everything?"

He felt like he didn't understand anything and was like an idiot.

Li Zheng said: "Who doesn't know these things? They are all online, haven't you seen them?"

Fatty Wei said: "I only read the entertainment section..."

Then he asked: "By the way, I think you and Zhang Jian know each other. Are you both from the army?"

"It's not like we don't know each other." Li Zheng shook his head, lowered his head and continued to eat noodles.

Fatty Wei carefully observed Li Zheng's expression and concluded that his guess was correct, and asked: "I'm not good at other things, but I'm pretty good at reading people. You must know him."

Li Zheng was impatient by his question and could only answer truthfully: "I don't really know him, it's just a casual relationship. He is my girlfriend's neighbor."

"Neighbor?" Fatty Wei seemed to have discovered a new world: "So, your girlfriend is also in the army?"

Li Zheng nodded: "Yes."

Fatty Wei was excited: "You guys can do it! You already have a girlfriend! You're still a kid from the army."

As if he suddenly remembered something, the smile on his face disappeared.

"However, I heard someone say that if a man has a girlfriend and joins the army, the couple will never break up."

"Nonsense!" Li Zheng raised his head from the bowl and looked at Fatty Wei across from him: "No wonder Zhang Jian likes to quarrel with you, you have a bad mouth."

Fatty Wei said awkwardly: "Actually, I am the easiest person to get along with. People who can't get along with me can't get along well with anyone. I just tell the truth and regard you as my brother."

Li Zheng said: "Okay, I don't need your honesty. My girlfriend also joined the army this year. In two years, we will retire together and then go back to university to study together. We have already planned to take the postgraduate entrance examination together after graduating from university. Get married within two years of graduating with a master’s degree.”

Fatty Wei sighed: "You can't plan your life, but anything that can be planned is unreliable."

Li Zheng really couldn't stand Fatty Wei's mouth this time. It was the meanest mouth he had ever seen. He had never seen anyone with such a mean mouth.

Thinking about it, my luck has really declined. We have a comrade with a vicious tongue like Zhang Jian, and now we have Fatty Wei with bad breath. Think about the next two years...

If he were to serve as a soldier with two living treasures, he would probably suffer from mania.

"Fat Wei, no one will think you are mute if you don't speak."

Fatty Wei continued to sigh: "Well, these days, there are not many people who can listen to the truth."

As he spoke, he shook his head, as if he had once been in a difficult situation: "I thought you, a famous college student, should be very wise in life, but it seems that I overestimated you."

Li Zheng couldn't help but said: "Listening to your tone, I haven't been abandoned by more than ten girlfriends and can't express such heart-wrenching feelings. Is this considered a sentiment?"

Fatty Wei snorted disdainfully and said, "I dare not say anything else. When it comes to falling in love, I have always been the only one to say goodbye to others. How can anyone tell me to break up?"

Li Zheng took a look at Fatty Wei's strong figure and said, "Is it just you?"

Fatty Wei said seriously: "What's wrong with me? Are you looking down on others? My success rate in pursuing girls is the highest in our village."

Li Zheng thought for a while and said, "Well, I suddenly remembered something. You are the stupid son of the village chief's family that Ma Teng said, right?"

Fatty Wei suddenly blushed and quickly looked around.

Fortunately, there were not many people in the dining hall. They were all new recruits. Only a few veterans were here to watch, and the rest had finished their meal and left.

"How did you know?"

Fatty Wei looked cautious, like an underground party member lurking in the White Zone.

Li Zheng said: "You spilled the beans last time, I heard it."

Fatty Wei's face turned even redder and he begged Li Zhengdao, "Don't make this matter public."

Li Zhengqi asked: "What? Is the son of the village chief's family embarrassed?"

Fatty Wei's face was as red as an inflated balloon, and it felt like it would bleed if he poked it.

"Hey, what can I say about this... Wasn't it caused by the dragon boat race? If not, I wouldn't need to be a soldier..."

Li Zheng doesn't like to inquire into the details. Over the years, because he has past events that cannot be mentioned, Li Zheng has never liked to ask about things that others don't want to talk about.

Since Fatty Wei doesn't want to say anything, he won't ask.

Just as Fatty Wei cannot be mentioned about his mother, I guess there are some places in his heart that cannot be touched.

"Hurry up, you guys! It's been half an hour since I started eating noodles."

Wu Yi suddenly appeared at the door of the dining hall, stretched his head in and shouted.

"Come out and help me after you finish eating."
