Fatty Wei wanted to enlist in the army for the second time and return to the army. This not only surprised Li Zheng, but also greatly shocked his heart.
At that moment, certain thoughts that I had tried to avoid thinking about but often appeared in my mind were like floods hidden behind the dam, finally sloping down unstoppably.
He suddenly remembered what the brigade commander said to himself before he solemnly retired - if you want to come back one day, give me a call and I will arrange the matter.
go back?
Really go back?
His hand unconsciously reached for the cell phone in his pocket.
Fatty Wei seemed to notice Li Zheng's abnormal mood, and asked Li Zheng meaningfully: "Good brother, tell me, after you left the army, did you suddenly wake up from a dream when you went to bed at night and thought you were still in the military camp? I'll try However, there were many times when I dreamed about the urgent gathering of new recruits. I sat up suddenly and nervously started to touch the backpack strap on the bedside. When I touched it, I felt lonely, and then I realized that I was home..."
Fatty Wei chattered endlessly to Li Zheng about the various habits brought about by his military camp life for a long time after he retired from the army.
For example, I used to throw the toothpaste cup everywhere after brushing my teeth at home, but now I no longer have to put it on the stainless steel rack on the wash basin after brushing my teeth. I also carefully turn the cup ears outward at a 45-degree angle, and the toothbrush placed in the cup also Same, leaning in the same direction.
Clothes in the closet used to be stuffed casually, as long as there was a gap. Now when I see the messy closet, I feel like a cat scratching my head. No one can sleep, so I have to fold the clothes into squares and put them neatly into each closet.
There are also socks. I am so obsessive that I have to roll them into rolls, sort them according to different colors and seasons, and put them in sock boxes in neat rows as if they were having sex in a queue...
"Let's go."
As the sea breeze blew, Li Zheng felt drunk, his chest felt a little tight, and he felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
"I feel a little uncomfortable and want to go back early. Let's talk another day."
Fatty Wei was in high spirits and was stunned when he was interrupted by Li Zheng's words.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to drive."
He suddenly realized something.
But I don't want to expose it.
Enlisting in the military for the second time is a major life event.
If I was still feeling fresh about military life when I first joined the army, then two years later, the freshness has long since disappeared.
Choosing to join the army again means that I really like that kind of life.
Especially special operations forces.
Those who don't like it will be punished once.
If you want to brag, then even two years as an ordinary special operations brigade soldier is enough to brag and talk for a lifetime, and you don't have to enlist in the army for the second time.
Some people come back to their senses half a year after being discharged from the army and find that they really like military life, so they can enlist in the army a second time.
It takes ten, eight or even twenty or thirty years for some people to look back and find that their original happy time was actually the kind of life they had in the army, crawling around in the wild, eating snakes, holding a rucksack, swimming a few kilometers, and half-dead from exhaustion. of that time.
However, those who wake up late can only sigh because they can't go back.
While waiting for the driver, the two of them suddenly seemed to have finished saying everything they had to say in their lives, and they were relatively silent.
Across the table, Fatty Wei smoked puff after puff and looked at the sea in the distance.
As night falls, the lights in the hotel courtyard are all on.
The sea surface in the distance is undulating, the waves are roaring, and the sea breeze is cool.
Li Zheng's mind suddenly became confused for some reason.
The scenes in the army, the peacekeeping scenes, the 203 scenes, and the scenes of the rescue operation in country W seemed like someone used an old-fashioned projector to project those scenes into his mind one after another, and he couldn't get rid of them.
】
After getting in the car, the two of them were still speechless.
On the way, Fatty Wei suddenly said to the driver rudely: "What song are you playing? Change it!"
The driver asked: "Mr. Wei, what song should I change?"
Fatty Wei said: "Let the soldiers go!"
The driver looked confused.
Fatty Wei pointed at the CD box and said, "There's one in there. Don't listen to those crappy songs on your phone. Listen to mine. The fourth one, the one with the red cover, is the one!"
The driver quickly disconnected the Bluetooth connection between his mobile phone and the car's CD, quickly took out the disc from the CD box and put it into the warehouse.
Soon, the extremely familiar melody sounded in the cab.
"We are soldiers!
Head resting on the bright moon at the border
Covered in rain, snow, wind and frost
We are soldiers
Just different
For the sake of national tranquility
We hold the gun tightly
Saying it is different is actually the same
Everyone is longing for glory
All are winning glory
Saying it is different is actually the same
Same style
Flying on the flag of the Republic..."
After one song is played, the next song comes on, which is "When That Day Comes"...
Fatty Wei seemed very excited. He howled in a pig-like voice and sang very passionately. At the end, he suddenly fell down on his seat and started crying. He didn't know why he was crying.
Finally returning to Donghai City, the car took Li Zheng to the entrance of the college.
Before leaving, Li Zhenggang turned around and walked a few steps. Fatty Wei lowered the window and shouted in the car: "Li Zheng!"
Li Zheng stepped forward and turned back.
Fatty Wei looked at Li Zheng for a while and then said loudly: "Next month, the recruitment starts next month. Are you going?!"
Li Zheng stood dumbly under the street light, not knowing how to answer.
Fatty Wei shouted again: "If you don't go, come and see me off when the time comes! I want you to see me off!"
Li Zheng stood for a while and suddenly asked: "Which army do you plan to join?"
Fatty Wei said: "I want to go back to our old army, but they didn't recruit here this year. But I looked and saw that there are quotas for the Marine Corps Brigade. They are all in the same camp anyway. I can go there. Anyway, I have been in the Army." A special soldier, I survived alone on the island for another month, and all the new recruits in the same year have to call me big brother! Hahahaha!"
Li Zheng smiled.
Laughing a little lonely.
Fatty Wei raised the car window, and the big g slowly left the door, slid into the road, and soon disappeared at the end of the long street.
Li Zheng stood there for an unknown amount of time before turning around and going back to school. He walked alone under the street lights on campus. Occasionally, students from the same school ran by wearing sportswear. The street lights shone on young people younger than him, and the sweat reflected on his skin. The golden light disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When he was approaching the graduate student dormitory, Li Zheng suddenly stopped.
He walked under the tree, took out his cell phone, and checked the time.
It's half past nine in the evening.
But he still called the solemn number.
But the other end is shut down.
Zhuang Yan was very busy sometimes. If something happened in the group army, he would hold emergency meetings at night. The season of drills was here again...
After thinking for a while, he dialed Hou Jun's number again.
Hou Jun is currently studying in the military academy. In another year, he will return to the old army. According to his military age, he will be a lieutenant like Tong Zhi, deputy company commander or something.
Just as the number was dialed, Li Zheng cut him off again.
It was almost lights-out time at the military academy, so it was better not to disturb him and let him rest.
Finally, he got through Tong Zhi's phone number.
Even if the deputy company commander organizes training in the evening, he should have almost closed down the team by now, so he shouldn't be that busy.
"Li Zheng!?"
On the other end of the phone, Tong Zhi's voice was extremely excited.
"is it you?"
Even though they were not face to face, Li Zheng seemed to see Tong Zhi's face that was a little surprised because of his happiness.
"Deputy company commander..."
He wanted to hold back, but he couldn't hold it back after all, and his voice was trembling.
"Li Zheng, are you encountering any difficulties?! If you have any difficulties, please tell me and your comrades will definitely help! Behind you are our troops!"
Tong Zhi was anxious.
Li Zheng shook his head to himself, regardless of the fact that Tong Zhi couldn't see anything.
After a while, the emotion was finally suppressed, and the numbness in my throat disappeared.
"Can you help me with something? Deputy company commander."
"You said, let alone one thing, a hundred things, as long as it is within my ability, I will definitely handle it for you!"
"Can you send a message to the brigade commander? I didn't turn on his phone when I called him. I don't know when he will be free, so I asked you to bring a message."
"OK!"
Tong Zhi was very happy.
"Isn't this simple!?"
Li Zheng took a deep breath and said seriously: "Tell the brigade commander that I want to return to the army."
