Chapter 24 Section 6

Brigade.Xiao Zhuang was shirtless and doing push-ups profusely with sweat: "One thousand seven hundred and eighty one...one thousand seven hundred and eighty...two..." Outside the window, the sentinel looked curiously: "I said, you can do it! You do two thousand push-ups every day, aren't you tired?" Xiao Zhuang did another one with difficulty, froze in the air: "One thousand seven hundred and eighty-three... I am used to it, and it will be uncomfortable if I don't practice..." "You said you don't want to be a soldier anymore, why are you still practicing?"

Xiao Zhuang was stunned for a moment, then raised his head: "Have you been punished?" The sentinel laughed: "Then I don't know. However, if you dare to beat the squad leader, you are the first in the regiment!" Xiao Zhuang smiled wryly: "One thousand seven hundred and eighty-four! One thousand seven hundred and eighty...five!" The sentinel shook his head: "I don't understand you, why don't you go to the field army if you don't go to university!" "I don't even understand myself... one thousand seven hundred and eighty... six..."

The sentinel suddenly turned around and saluted: "Good morning, company commander!" Miao Lian appeared in front of the window: "He has always been like this?" "Yes, it's been nine days, and..." "Open the door for me." The sentry went to open the door. Miao Lian stood at the door, while Xiao Zhuang was still doing push-ups. "That soldier, stand up!" Xiao Zhuang stopped and stood up: "Hi sir!" Miao Lian looked at him coldly: "Are you amazing?" "The chief has won the award." "You actually wounded the most senior squad leader of the reconnaissance company? Let me see what superpowers you have!"

"He hit me first, he bullied me..." "Then you can hit him?" "I……" "You what?" "nothing." "Do you know what's wrong?" "Hey! You learned this very quickly, didn't you? Then you didn't learn that soldiers must obey orders? Must absolutely obey their superiors?" "I'm not going to be a soldier anymore." "Who said this?" "I'm the first recruit in the regiment to beat the squad leader, how could I be needed?" "Don't think too highly of yourself, you're the second—I'm the first!"

Xiao Zhuang looked up, surprised. Miao Lian was very calm: "Tell me the truth, do you want to be a soldier?" "Honestly? I want to, but I don't want to." "Why do you think and don't want to?" Xiaozhuang thought for a while and said, "I like being with my brothers. I am happy when I endure hardships. The army also gave me a different and tense life. Once I get used to it, I am really reluctant to part with it, but the army suppresses my personality too much. I It's a bit unbearable." "You son of a bitch! A man can't even bear this bit of hardship!"

"I'm not a coward!" Seventeen-year-old Xiao Zhuang was anxious. "Then show me the proof, take this soldier down! Be a good soldier and show me." "Who are you? Head or political commissar? Can you change the decision in the regiment?" Miao Lian smiled: "Who am I, you will know in the future! Remember - the army is a world of tough guys, if you admit it, no one will think highly of you!" He turned and left.Xiao Zhuang stood there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time. In a blink of an eye, Xiaozhuang's confinement ended.The day after the confinement ended, so did his three-month life as a recruit.

On this day, the recruits were neatly dressed, all wearing uniforms with cap badges and collar flowers, and stood excitedly at the gate of the company.The company commander is calling the roll and announcing their respective units: "Liu Tong!" "arrive!" "One battalion and two companies!" "Wang Yiguang!" "arrive!" "Police contact!" "Gu Wei!" "arrive!" "Scout Company!" "Chen Xiwa!" "arrive!" "Scout Company!" ... I didn't read Xiaozhuang's name all the time, and Xiaozhuang was a little dazed.

The company commander closed the roster: "Go back and pack up, pack your backpack, and your company commander will come to pick you up immediately. Starting today, you will truly become a PLA soldier in the Great Gong Regiment! Comrades, three months Our recruit company is very tough, you have worked hard! I congratulate you!" He raised his hands in salute.The recruits raised their hands in return. The company commander put down his hands and was about to announce the disbandment when Xiao Zhuang plucked up his courage and shouted: "Report!" "speak!" "Report! Me, which company do I go to?"

The company commander looked at him for a long time and said, "It's not written on it, so I don't know." Xiao Zhuang was stunned. "Disband!" The recruits cheered and dispersed like an ebbing tide. Xiao Zhuang was stunned for a while, then turned and entered the dormitory. In the dormitory, comrades were talking happily.Chen Xiwa happily packed her backpack: "Oh, I'm assigned to the scout company this time! I didn't expect that I could be a scout too..." Xiaozhuang strode in and began to pack his things.He took off his military uniform, picked up his military stuff and threw it on Xiwa's bed.

Xiwa looked at him: "What are you doing?" "These are for you, we have the same number." "how about you?" "It seems that I don't have a part to go to the army. It's better to go by myself than no one wants it." "Don't worry, you are the first college student soldier in our regiment, and the political commissar has asked about it. Everyone said that you might be going to the regiment headquarters." The recruits standing at the door suddenly shouted: "Stand up!" The recruits immediately stood up and saluted.Miao Lian strode in.

Xiao Zhuang stood in front of the bed without saluting. Miao Lian looked at him: "Why don't you salute?" Xiao Zhuang didn't speak. "Where's your uniform?" Xiao Zhuang glanced at Xiwa's bed.Xiwa hurriedly picked it up and handed it to Xiao Zhuang, but Xiao Zhuang refused to accept it. Miao Lian suddenly said harshly: "Put it on!" Xiao Zhuang was taken aback, and said, "No one wants me anymore, why should I wear a military uniform?" "Bitch!" "I'm not a coward!" "Then put on your military uniform and follow me!" "where to?" "Scout Company!" "Huh?" Xiao Zhuang was taken aback.He was already prepared to be fired from the army, but he never expected to be selected into the reconnaissance company by this big company commander.
