The big test before the new recruits join the company is coming in a blink of an eye.
The night before, each company and platoon stopped physical training and did not arrange night training. They were required to eat well and sleep well.
The whole camp was quiet, and the happiness came too suddenly. The recruits suddenly didn't hear the familiar whistle, but they felt a little uncomfortable.
The first row was okay. They went out to play during the day for two days, and when they came back at night, they only did a few push-ups and then went to bed early.
The night before the exam, Fatty Wei sat on the steps in front of the barracks and stared at the night sky for more than half an hour. Li Zheng asked him what he was looking at. Fatty Wei said, I was watching the sky at night. Li Zheng knew that Fatty Wei often said He came up with some hilarious quotes, and then asked you how you are doing with your astronomical observations.
Fatty Wei suddenly became excited, patted his chest and said, I think my five kilometers tomorrow morning will not hold anyone back.
Li Zheng asked curiously: "Why are you so sure?"
Fatty Wei said: "Didn't you see that the platoon leader deliberately let everyone rest these two days? He talked to me before that. I said my feet hurt, so I couldn't run fast. I told the squad leader, and the squad leader said it was the amount of activity. It’s not enough, just run more, but after hearing this, the platoon leader asked everyone to eat crayfish the next day, and I know he took my words at heart.”
After speaking, Li Zheng saw that the corners of Fatty Wei's eyes were actually a little moist.
He was even more strange.
Why do Fatty Wei's tears come so easily?
Hou Jun just let everyone rest for two days. How could he be so moved?
"Are you so moved?" Li Zheng said, "Have you been lacking love since you were a child?"
Fatty Wei looked at the sky quietly, without even looking at Li Zheng, and said, "You're right, I really lack love..."
Li Zheng was speechless, feeling that maybe he shouldn't mention this topic.
I wanted to make a joke, but I didn't want to touch people's hearts.
Fatty Wei sighed and said, "Li Zheng, I heard that your parents died in the earthquake?"
Li Zheng's expression darkened, and he nodded without answering.
Fatty Wei said: "My mother ran away when I was very young. At that time, my family was poor and had no money. My mother was the most beautiful in the village. My father came back from the army and married her, but he married her within two years of giving birth to me. My dad is getting divorced. Actually, I don’t blame my mom if I think about it, it’s okay to be poor, but my dad is a straight man, he doesn’t know how to coax women into not talking, and he’s very chauvinistic. No one can stand it if you think about it.”
"After the fight, I depended on my father for life. However, my father was lucky. Later, the city developed and demolition was carried out, and he became the village chief. Our family was originally a prominent family name in the village and we had a lot of land, so we became rich. Well, in those years my dad had good fortune and made money in whatever he did..."
At this point, he suddenly stopped.
Then he turned around and asked Li Zheng: "To put it bluntly, do you believe that money can't buy happiness?"
Li Zheng smiled: "I don't know, because my family has never had much money."
Fatty Wei stretched out his fat paw and put a heavy hand on Li Zheng's shoulder: "My family is very rich, but I am not happy at all. My dad was very busy in those years. He cooperated with friends to do business, opening furniture, home appliances, and leather goods. , do everything. If you have anything to say to him, I can only answer with one word, busy. Then you just take your wallet and give me money, as much as you want, and you can do it yourself... None of those seven aunts or eight aunts really care about me. , I am the son of the village chief, and I am also the stupid son of the village chief. Anyway, everyone gives face to my father, but not to me. They always say that I am good and awesome no matter what I do. In fact, no one really cares if something happens to me. To care about me..."
After a pause, he continued: "What Ma Teng said is true. Dragon boat racing is a custom in our village, but we haven't had a champion in many years. I want to do something big to show my dad, and compete with a few rich people in the village." My brothers invested in an invitational competition together. They all said that since we were getting the money, there was no reason for others to win the championship, so I simply went to the participating dragon boat teams, threw money at them, and asked them to give it to us. Winning the championship. I don’t know who revealed this later. Everyone laughed at me, and the brothers in the village said it was my idea... Damn it! This was not my idea, it was their bad idea! "
"Oh! When they came up with ideas, everyone was more powerful than Zhuge Liang. When something happened, they all said it had nothing to do with them, it was my idea! I was so frustrated, what a bullshit brother! I'm going I went to my dad to tell him the whole story, but before I could say anything, he slapped me in the face and called me a prodigal son. He said that the Wei family had never been so embarrassed before, and that he, the dignified village chief, would be embarrassed in the future. How do you keep your head up and act like a good person in the village?"
"I had a big quarrel with my father that day. We quarreled all night. I scolded him for only caring about his own face in his life. Face, face, face. Face is more important than my fucking son! Then go ahead with face in the future. , I don’t want to be your son anymore! He poked my nose and said, It’s okay if you don’t want to. Do you want to break away from the relationship? If you break away from the relationship, you have to separate your family and change your household registration. I am the village chief and I am in charge of it! If you want to be separated, you can sign up this year. Bing, please act like your father and I can get third-class meritorious services just like I did back then. When I come back, I will not only divide your family, but also give you half of my property!"
This seemed to be a very sad story at first, but the more Li Zheng listened to it, the more he felt he couldn't laugh or cry.
Father and son cannot be together without injustice.
These words couldn't be more appropriate for Fatty Wei and his father.
He now somewhat understood why Fatty Wei wanted to be a soldier, and he seemed to be training hard.
He originally thought that a guy like Fatty Wei, who lived in fine clothes and lived in beautiful cars and beautiful women, came to be a soldier just to add some capital to his resume. When he returned home, he could rise from the position of village cadre like his father, and then become the village chief or something.
I didn't expect there to be such a long story here.
"Just because of this, you feel that the platoon leader listened to your words and felt at ease, so you were moved?"
Fatty Wei nodded: "Yes! A soldier will die for his confidant! The platoon leader really regards me as a brother, those in our village, and my father... haha."
Li Zheng said: "However, although Hou Pai sometimes has a bad mouth, he is really a nice person."
Fatty Wei said: "I'm thinking, if one day I can be admitted to a military academy or something, will my dad be angry to death if I don't go home?"
Li Zheng was stunned and couldn't close his mouth.
I've seen many fathers get angry, but I've never seen fathers get so angry like this.
"The problem is, with your level of education, it's probably very difficult to get into the military academy."
Fatty Wei said: "Aren't you a famous college student? You teach me and help me review!"
Li Zheng was stunned. He had never thought about this.
"We'll have to wait until we get to the company. Now that the military reform is just around the corner, we can't decide whether we can work together in the future."
Fatty Wei said: "I assume you have promised me. If we work together in the future, you can help me review cultural courses when I have time after training. I am good at liberal arts in high school, and I can also compose poetry. Don't you believe it? I Even though I'm not good at science, I'm not bad at English either. In the past few years, I've been able to compete with Mr. Gui when doing business..."
Just as they were talking happily, Wu Yi appeared at the door of the row room, interrupting the two recruits talking about their concerns.
"Why are you still sitting here? Go and wash up quickly. Turn off the lights and go to bed later! The first subject tomorrow morning is five kilometers. Wei Guoxing, there is no need to raise pigs now, but if you are still lagging behind tomorrow, go to the front of the company I suggested to the company commander that you go guard the shooting range!"
