Since the new recruits do not all arrive in one day, most of them report one after another within a few days.
Li Zheng and the others were the first batch of recruits to arrive at Menghutan. There were only a few dozen of them in this batch, and they were divided into three battalions. Each class had two or three more and only one less. Some classes even had no recruits at all. Alloted.
This creates an interesting scene - there are more veterans than recruits, and there are more squad leaders and deputy squad leaders than recruits.
Some squads have one soldier and two squad leaders, one squad leader and one deputy, which can be called five-star service.
In order to let the recruits feel the warmth of the army, the squad leader and deputy squad leader took care of every detail, from how to place toothpaste and toothbrushes to how to hang towels, from when to get up in the morning to what time to turn off the lights at night, what time to eat and how long to finish eating. Like an old lady, she talks and teaches without getting tired of it.
Although it is made very clear, sometimes things still happen.
After all, an army is an army and a place is a place. After joining the army from the local area, the recruits are in a completely unfamiliar environment. Some details of their lives at home are easy to make jokes in the army.
That night, Wu Yi gathered a few recruits and announced that they would return their mobile phones for twenty minutes to report to their families that they were safe.
Li Zheng called his grandma. The grandma who received the call was very happy to hear Li Zheng's voice, but she started sobbing on the other end of the phone as she spoke.
This is Li Zheng's only immediate family member in the world.
Grandma couldn't help but feel a sore nose when she thought of her grandson. During the earthquake that year, he was the only one in Li Zheng's family of three who survived, and he has been living with the old man ever since.
Li Zheng's grandmother is a primary school teacher in the town. She has taught and educated people all her life. Her son is also a teacher. If it hadn't been for that damn earthquake, this would be a warm and peaceful well-off home, although it is not as good as the middle-class families in most big cities. If you have money, your happiness index is really no worse than that of people in big cities.
It's a pity that everything is fate and no one can control it at all.
An earthquake changed the fate of a family.
In the first two years after the earthquake, Li Zheng had been emotionally unstable. He often woke up at night and could not turn off the lights when sleeping. He had to turn on the lights.
A bright and spacious environment can give Li Zheng a sense of security, otherwise it will evoke unbearable scenes in his heart.
It was also from that time that the formerly lively Li Zheng matured at a heartbreaking speed.
During the years that the two of them had been dependent on each other, Li Zheng never had to worry about anything for him. Li Zheng took full responsibility for housework, study, life, and all other things that other children needed their parents to take care of and help with, and never asked his grandma to worry.
Back then, Li Zheng was admitted to Tunghai University. When filling in his application form, he thought over and over again about finding a university close to home. Ultimately, it was just so that he could go home to see his grandma and be able to rush back and take care of her if anything happened.
When grandma discovered Li Zheng's thoughts, the always kind family member was so angry that she slapped Li Zheng on the face.
"Don't forget that your life was exchanged for the lives of your parents. What you should do is live the happiness of three people by yourself, instead of giving up the opportunities that you should have had for me!"
Study, go to a good school and read a good book.
For an old teacher, no one understands the significance of obtaining higher education better than she does.
A 211 or an ordinary three-book, which one is better and which one can make people more successful? Obviously the result is clear at a glance.
Li Zheng was stunned by grandma's slap and woke up.
For grandma, the best love is to let go and let her grandson pursue a better future.
For Li Zheng, making his grandma happy is the most important thing for him. If staying nearby to go to college will make his grandma sad, that is not his purpose.
Grandma has no objection to Li Zheng's military expedition.
At that time, Sun Tzu was rescued from under the broken and broken walls by soldiers in military uniforms who dug through the ruins with their hands.
Without the People's Liberation Army, Li Zheng's life would not have been possible.
To Li Zheng, being a soldier was as pious as a believer walking thousands of kilometers on a pilgrimage.
If he doesn't serve as a soldier once in his life, Li Zheng will not have peace of mind.
The two of them were talking on the phone. Li Zheng heard his grandma over there sobbing softly. His nose was a little sore and the corners of his eyes were a little hot. He looked like he was about to shed tears, but he held it back.
He put on the military uniform, after all he was a soldier.
It's not that soldiers don't cry, they can't cry casually.
While everyone else was on the phone, Fatty Wei sat alone on the bench, lost in thought.
Wu Yi said: "When Li Zheng finishes the call, you can borrow his mobile phone and let your family know that he is safe later."
Fatty Wei's mobile phone is a fruit machine. Due to the security and confidentiality regulations of the army, it cannot be used.
Fatty Wei said without raising his head, "Squad leader, I don't need to call."
This was the first time Wu Yi saw a recruit not wanting to call his family when he arrived in the army, so he asked curiously: "You don't need to tell your family that you are safe?"
Fatty Wei shook his head: "My dad doesn't care. When I went to join the army, he told me to get away. Don't even think about calling him when I get to the army, let alone ask him for money. I'm not here If you achieve something in the army, don’t go back to see him.”
Wu Yi said: "Your father said those angry words. He is probably holding his cell phone and waiting for your call right now. Do you believe it?"
Fatty Wei pondered for a moment and shook his head: "You don't believe me, squad leader, but you don't know that my dad has also been a soldier for five years and is very hard-hearted. I will do what he says, so I won't call him to avoid being scolded."
Wu Yi looked at Fatty Wei as if he were an alien. The forest was big and there were all kinds of birds, and he didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs, especially as Fatty Wei's family seemed to have some secrets that couldn't be told.
Just like in the afternoon, because Zhang Jian mentioned his mother, he immediately got mad and ran away, even starting a fight.
After thinking about it again, Wu Yi finally decided not to interfere, but he still left a trail and advised: "It's okay if you don't call. I think you can find time to write a letter to your dad. There is no one in the world you don't love." My son’s father, your dad treats you like this. It seems that your son is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp at home and has done a lot of bad things that made your dad very angry, right?"
Fatty Wei said nothing and stared at the window in front of him, like an old monk in meditation.
Wu Yiyi left and let himself calm down.
Sometimes people have emotional problems, and it is better to leave them alone than to persuade them a hundred times.
Lights were turned off at ten o'clock that night, which was the army's summer schedule.
I heard that another batch of recruits would report at 12 o'clock tonight, so the squad leaders went to the regimental department to pick up the soldiers. Only deputy squad leader Hu Chenxi was left in the platoon to watch the recruits.
According to regulations, the squad leader must conduct inspections at night. This is tradition.
But I didn't expect that this investigation would lead to something wrong.
