Chapter 10 ten

Ma Bayi has already found the feeling of being motivated. After more than a month of hard work, he has stood on eight night shifts. During the daytime training, he fainted twice due to severe lack of sleep.Ma Bayi was praised twice by the platoon leader at the platoon meeting. The platoon leader Wang Changgui praised Ma Bayi with an expression that was not grand at all. In Ma Bayi's view, it was still a bit of an understatement. This was Ma Bayi's regret.But the platoon leader praised him after all, which was gratifying to him, not only these, but also got the platoon leader to talk to him in person once.

The platoon leader Wang Changgui talked to Ma Bayi one evening, around 7 o'clock. This period of time is free and easy, because political studies will be organized again from 1 o'clock to 8 o'clock.As the sun went down, there was a lazy mood in the division headquarters compound. There were male or female soldiers in twos and threes standing under trees or somewhere else talking, and some cadres and soldiers were studying hard with "Selected Mao" in their hands.It was in this atmosphere that Wang Changgui had a conversation with Ma Bayi. The two talked while walking, which was called a walking conversation at that time.

Wang Changgui said: Ma Bayi, you are the son of a high-ranking cadre. It was only then that Ma Ba realized that being called the children of high-ranking cadres was not a good thing, and it became synonymous with backwardness.If Ma Bayi doesn't seek to make progress, loves whoever he loves, and leaves after three years, then that's another matter. Now Ma Bayi is seeking to make progress. The platoon leader calls him the son of a high-ranking cadre, as if he was slapped. .Ma Bayi said in a low voice: Don't get me wrong, platoon leader, I'm just an ordinary military family. Wang Changgui ignored what he said, and continued on his own: I know, you are a backdoor soldier.

Ma Bayi's sweat came down, his face was flushed red, he was a bit special when he joined the army, and their soldiers came to the army two months after he joined the army. Wang Changgui also said: You look good like this. Hearing what the platoon leader said, Ma Bayi didn't know whether to praise him or criticize him, so he could only call the platoon leader dryly. Wang Changgui said again: You don't need to make progress. Ma Bayi was really confused this time, he stood there all of a sudden, looking at the back of the platoon leader's head.At that time, he didn't understand the real meaning of Wang Changgui's words. It was not until after he was demobilized that he gradually understood.Wang Changgui, these rural soldiers, are trying so hard to get rid of it and punish them.In their daily lives, they rely on their own sacrifices to even out the distance with the city people.Although Wang Changgui and his colleagues have been promoted, they don't have high hopes for life, they just hope to leave the army and live the life of city people.It is beyond their imagination and impossible to achieve such a great achievement in the army.Sacrificing one's ten or ten years of hard work is in exchange for the same life as the city people in the future.

Wang Changgui's feelings towards a soldier of Ma Bayi's background are very complicated.Emotionally speaking, he hates Ma Bayi and other high-ranking officials, because in the eyes of Wang Changgui, Ma Bayi is a group of people who can get something without working hard. In addition, Wang Changgui is still a little afraid of Ma Bayi. It wasn't Ma Bayi, but Ma Bayi's parents. Ma Bayi's parents were high officials in the military region, not to mention Wang Changgui, even the division commanders whose fates were controlled by the army chiefs. A casual sentence or a paper order will change their fate.

Wang Changgui didn't want Ma Bayi to make progress, because that would rob Wang Changgui of their jobs, but he couldn't turn a blind eye to Ma Bayi's progress, which caused Wang Changgui's complicated mentality.In terms of class, two types of people represent two classes.The platoon leader Wang Changgui stood from the standpoint of a rural soldier, and he knew the ups and downs of being a farmer's son.Wang Changgui told everyone that he was an orphan, brought up by his uncles and aunts, and he had no home in the mountains, and the army was his home, and he wanted to dedicate his youth and life to the army.Wang Changgui's resolute attitude and thorough behavior made the chiefs and soldiers who heard these words have to look at Wang Changgui with admiration.In other words, Wang Changgui became ruthless, and all the difficulties and obstacles were no longer a problem. Wang Changgui wanted to be a member of the army in life, and a ghost of the army in death.

That night, Wang Changgui said to Ma Bayi again: "Stand whatever you want at night, and don't affect the progress of others."
