Chapter 16 Tamura and Liu Dong

Eighteen years later, Tian Cun and Liu Dong finally met, and the place where they met was the recruit company of the Thirteenth Division. The recruit company is a temporary organization. Considering that the recruits have just joined the army, most recruit squads are divided by region. Liu Dong's commune recruited eight recruits this year, and these eight people were organized together.The number of recruits in each squad was eleven. On the basis of eight recruits, a few recruits from other regions were recruited. It was under such circumstances that Tian Cun was recruited into Liu Dong's squad.Liu Dong's squad is three squads in the first row of the recruit company.

When Tian Cun walked into the third squad, he had a feeling of standing out from the crowd. The new military uniform was so appropriate and natural on him, as if he was already a veteran, and it was easy to control the military uniform.On the contrary, these peasant children seem to be controlled by military uniforms, and they look a little awkward no matter how they are worn.In other words, before these peasant children became real soldiers, they hadn't fully integrated with the military uniform.This is what people often call a soldier's taste. Standing in front of Liu Dong, Tian Cun was almost half a head taller than Liu Dong. Tian Cun was white and round, while Liu Dong was dry and thin. Standing together, no one could have imagined that they would be twin brothers.If you look closely, the eyebrows and eye contours of the two people are somewhat similar. With such a large population in China, it is very easy to find a few similar people.

When the third shift lined up, Tian Cun was the head of the line, and Liu Dong was the tail, and the two echoed each other from afar.Before Tian Cun arrived in the third class, Liu Dong and the others knew that Tian Cun was coming, and he was a child of the military department. His father was the head of the army and a high-ranking child.Before Tian Cun appeared on the stage, his position in the hearts of these peasant children was extremely complicated, and no one could tell what it was like. When Tamura appeared in front of them, they could only marvel in their hearts.Liu Dong looked at Tamura: This guy is indeed a head taller than us. It seems that this guy has already stood at the front of the starting line without working hard.

In the eyes of peasant children, the children of high-ranking cadres are the kind that people both envy and hate. Why is he a high-ranking cadre?Why is he stronger than us?But the result of the fact is that they can only admit this strength, they are powerless in front of the children of high-ranking cadres, and they are willing to bow down.It is normal for the children of high-ranking cadres to make progress and honors. It is not normal to make progress and gain more honors than others.This is the mindset of the children of workers and peasants. The recruit company does not have a formal establishment of deputy squad leader, and the squad leader is naturally served by a veteran. The veterans who come to the recruit company to be the squad leader are selected from the whole division, and they are excellent in training and politics.In order to cooperate with the work of the recruit squad, the recruits elected a recruit as the deputy squad leader to cooperate with the squad leader's work.At the class meeting of the third class, the squad leader Guan organized everyone to recommend the deputy squad leader.Many recruits are not used to this kind of democratic atmosphere. They want to be recruited, but they are afraid that others will not recommend them; they are not willing to recommend others.He lowered his head, blushed, and waited there with his heart beating like a drum.

Squad leader Guan inspired everyone and said: It doesn't matter, if the deputy squad leader is unqualified, we will change it at that time, all for the work of our class. At this moment, Tamura stood up and said calmly: Report to the monitor, I think I am suitable to be the deputy monitor. Squad leader Guan glanced at everyone and said: Comrade Tamura recommended himself as the deputy squad leader. Squad leader Guan was the first to raise his hand, and when everyone saw the squad leader raised his hand, they also raised their hands sparingly.The only one who didn't raise his hand was Liu Dong.Liu Dong was no different from Class Three. Tamura took a serious look at Liu Dong, smiled relaxedly, and sat down.

Squad leader Guan opened the notebook of the class affairs meeting, and said to Liu Dong: Comrade Liu Dong, please tell me the reasons for objecting to Tian Cun being the deputy squad leader. Liu Dong's face was red at first, but he calmed down quickly. He stood up and said: I have no intention of opposing Comrade Tamura. We are all recruits, and everyone doesn't know their work ability and level. I don't know him, so I Just didn't raise your hand. Tian Cun glanced at Liu Dong again, this glance was very serious, Liu Dong was also looking at him, their eyes met, but they quickly avoided it.

Squad leader Guan closed his notebook and said: Well, what Liu Dong said is also reasonable, but with the principle of the minority obeying the majority, from now on, Tian Cun will be our deputy squad leader. Squad leader Guan took the lead in applauding, and everyone followed suit, but it was not very enthusiastic, but this kind of democratic form was established. I don't know if it was because of the selection of the deputy squad leader that time, but Tiancun and Liu Dong always felt awkward. Naturally, they rarely spoke, as if they were deliberately avoiding each other. In the queue training, Tian Cun has the fastest comprehension ability. After a new subject of the monitor, he can do it very well after only doing it a few times.Having grown up in the army compound, he is not new to all these subjects. Therefore, Tamura has a natural self-teaching ability for these subjects.

After several demonstrations of a subject by Squad Leader Guan, Tian Cun was called out from the queue and asked him to demonstrate to the recruits, and then asked him to lead everyone in training, and went to other classes to observe and train by himself. Tian Cun stood at the position of the squad leader and issued orders to the whole class. When walking forward, Tian Cun corrected Liu Dong's movement once. Instead of mentioning Liu Dong's name, he said: "The comrade at the end of the team, please raise your legs a little bit higher." Son. Of course Liu Dong heard it, and he also knew that it was him that Tamura was talking about, but he didn't change his mind, he walked as he wanted.

Tamura stopped, and he walked up to Liu Dong: Comrade Liu Dong, your legs are lower than others, I said you, didn't you hear? Liu Dong glanced at Tian Cun, and asked neither soft nor hard: "Comrade deputy squad leader, have you ever been to middle school?" Tian Cun didn't understand Liu Dong's intention for a moment, he looked at him blankly and said, "Why are you asking this?" Liu Dong said with a serious expression: If you have been to middle school, you will understand what a fulcrum is.Everyone's height is different, and the fulcrum is naturally different. I can't lift my legs as high as yours, otherwise, it would violate the physiological structure.

Tamura was choked, but he quickly said: The army emphasizes unity of step, why are you so special? Liu Dong analyzed: Our queue is from high to low. This is a kind of order. If we go forward and lift our legs, it is also a natural order. With this order, we will be neat and beautiful. The monitor respects this natural order. Tian Cun carefully looked at Liu Dong in front of him repeatedly, and stopped talking.He returned to his position with a livid face. From then on, he regarded Liu Dong as a real opponent in his heart.He admitted that what Liu Dong said made sense, but why didn't anyone understand this truth in normal training?

Once after dinner, on the playground, Tian Cun and Liu Dong ran into each other.Tamura said: Liu Dong, I want to talk to you. The two walked together side by side. Are you from Daliushu County? Liu Dong replied: Yes, Daliushu County, Liujia Commune, and Wangjiatun of the Backing Brigade. After finishing speaking, Liu Dong thought for a while and added: Rural soldiers. Tamura said embarrassedly: I didn't mean that, I want to make friends with you. Liu Dong stood up in surprise, he didn't expect Tamura to say such a thing, he looked at Tamura strangely, and said: Are you making friends with me? Yes, I think you are different from other soldiers. Same, we are all rural soldiers. Tamura blushed and explained: I'm not talking about rural soldiers. Liu Dong made a look of sudden realization: I see, because I didn't raise your hand when I was electing the deputy squad leader, so you couldn't get off the stage during training? Tamura stopped talking, nodded and shook his head again. Liu Dong nodded and said: If that's the case, I should be your opponent, or your enemy. Why did you make me your friend? I can't tell, in my feeling, I always feel that we are very close, we should be very close, but sometimes we feel far away, anyway, I can't explain this feeling. Liu Dong softened his tone: Tiancun, you are different from our rural soldiers. Your starting point is higher than ours. It is suitable for you to be the deputy squad leader. In this regard, you are better than us. After Liu Dong finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Tian Cun staring at Liu Dong's back in a daze.
