Chapter 47 Chapter Twelve

The recruit lazily stood up, swung his left hand like lightning, and the wine bottle drew an arc in the air, hitting the veteran's head with a bang... Ning Wei, the future number one killer of the C Army, surfaced from the water.Zhou Xiaobai suddenly burst into tears: You don't need to say sorry, this is my fate... There is a small restaurant near the military compound. The restaurant has a small business area and can only accommodate seven or eight tables.Every Sunday, this place becomes the world of soldiers. Soldiers from all the units directly under the military department crowded this place to the brim.

seat.Of course, the soldiers who come here to improve their lives are almost all urban enlisted soldiers, and rural enlisted soldiers never come here. Zhong Yuemin, Zhang Haiyang, and Wu Mantun were drinking.They were wearing whitewashed military uniforms, buttoned up tightly, with the demeanor of veterans. Although they are already veterans, the living habits of Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang have not changed much. As long as anyone has money in their pockets, they usually use it to treat guests.Wu Mantun had some complaints about their bad habits, but he had to do it out of face.The three of them have lived together in the same class for more than two years, and they know each other very well.Man Tun already understands a truth, good friends should be tolerant to each other, and the way of life they are accustomed to cannot be imposed on others.Although these two brothers have the habits of young masters, they are very sincere to their friends.Among other things, in the past two years, Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang haven't worn new military uniforms. Whenever it's time to change clothes, they always throw the new military uniforms to Mandun and ask him to send them home to his brother. The younger sisters wore it, and if Mandun was embarrassed to ask for it, the two of them would stare, as if they wanted to turn their backs, and each time Mandun would silently accept it with tears in their eyes.He is a clumsy person, and he doesn't know how to express the gratitude in his heart.Someone in the company joked that the three of them were the most ragged in the whole company.When Mantun heard this kind of discussion, he always seemed to have done something wrong, and felt very uncomfortable.

In all fairness, Man Tun really doesn't want to go out to eat with them. In his opinion, the company's food is already very good. These two young masters are simply wasting money. Besides, if they are really rich, it's okay. In fact, their allowances The fee was not enough to buy cigarettes, so the only thing he could do was to ask his family for it. After Zhong Yuemin’s father was liberated last year, he reissued a large sum of money. Zhong Yuemin felt that this money was saved by him and his father. He only has 15 yuan of living expenses per month, and he eats every meal without a second meal. Now that his father has made a fortune, he should take part of the money as a matter of course.Mantun couldn't understand Zhong Yuemin's theory. He thought it was Zhong Yuemin's father's salary. In any case, Zhong Yuemin shouldn't spend his father's money so confidently.Zhong Yuemin had no choice but to explain in this way that he didn't plan to come to this world for a while, but his parents insisted on giving birth to him, and he couldn't do it if he didn't come, so he came to this world out of helplessness. Mom has to be responsible for raising him until he is eighteen, even if he is less than a day, otherwise he will destroy the flowers of the motherland.Man Tun said: "But you are over eighteen years old now." Zhong Yuemin plausibly said: "The problem is that I have been devastated since I was fifteen or sixteen years old. It’s already thanked before it’s time to bloom, and it’s become a broken flower and a willow. My father must give me a few times to fatten me up, otherwise it’s too easy for him to be a father, and he can raise his son for only fifteen yuan a month I'm old, so what do I want this dad for?"

Zhang Haiyang didn't think of asking his family for money at first, but later he felt embarrassed by Zhong Yuemin, so he also wrote letters to his family, asking for money in various names, and it became a routine. Like something is missing. Zhong Yuemin noticed a thin soldier, wearing a brand-new military uniform, without a collar or cap badge, sitting alone at a table in the corner and drinking by himself.He looked at the soldier and said, "That's a recruit this year, right? Why come out to drink alone? It's not easy to get leave during recruit training." Man Tun replied: "They allow 10% of the people to take leave on Sundays. A few days ago, the company commander sent me to the recruit company to guide the recruits in bombing training. I have seen this recruit."

Zhang Haiyang looked at the door and said, "The boys are here again." A few soldiers in half-worn uniforms walked into the restaurant, looking around for seats. Zhong Yuemin asked: "Which unit are they from?" Zhang Haiyang said, "You guys from the communications battalion, have you forgotten? Last time they got drunk and made trouble here and smashed up the counters. These boys are all from the provincial military region. They were born and raised here, and they are used to bullying. " The soldiers from the communication battalion walked to the table in the corner of the room and stared at the recruit who was drinking alone, as if hoping that the recruit would stand up wisely.

The recruit drank wine as if no one was around, as if he didn't see the veterans in front of him. A veteran finally couldn't help talking: "Hey, recruit boy, there are vacant seats over there, you go and sit there." The recruit didn't seem to hear, he sipped his wine indifferently, without even raising his head. The old soldier got angry: "Hey! Tell me, do you have donkey hair stuffed in your ears?" Zhang Haiyang couldn't help but want to stand up, but was held down by Zhong Yuemin. The recruit remained silent. The old soldier said, "Damn it, why are deaf people joining the army now?"

He grabbed the recruit's satchel on the table and threw it to the corner, staring at the recruit with provocative eyes. The recruit grabbed the wine bottle with a blank expression, filled his glass with wine, took it up and drank it down, poured the wine again, and drank it down again, until the wine bottle was finally empty. Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang watched him. The recruit lazily stood up, and swung his left hand holding the wine bottle like lightning. The bottle drew an arc in the air, and hit the veteran's head with a bang... The bottle was smashed into pieces, and the fragments flew far away , the veteran fell down with blood on his face...

Everyone present was stunned. The recruit held the bottleneck with a sharp gap in his hand and shook it at the veterans. Several veterans backed away in fright. Zhong Yuemin patted his hands a few times and sighed: "Okay, you can shoot neatly, your mental quality is also good, and you are a natural killer." He walked over and patted the recruit on the shoulder: "Dude, where are you from?" The recruit's eyes lit up: "Beijing, I can tell, you are also from Beijing?" "My name is Zhong Yuemin, from Beijing, from the reconnaissance battalion, what's your name?"

"Ning Wei." Zhang Haiyang came over to several veterans and said, "Hurry up and take this guy to the hospital for a bandage, let's forget about it?" An old soldier blushed: "Forget it? The beatings are for nothing? Or the recruits? No, this matter is endless." Zhong Yuemin said: "Isn't it just a wine bottle? Come on, give me a head, and I will take it for him." A veteran was quite unconvinced: "Aren't you from the reconnaissance battalion? What's the big deal? What do you want to do for this new recruit?" Zhang Haiyang casually grabbed an empty wine bottle and threw it at his own Tianling Cap. The bottle was smashed to pieces, but his head was unharmed. He handed a wine bottle to several veterans: "Come on, try it too."

No one dared to pick up a few veterans. Zhong Yuemin persuaded: "Okay, you guys go quickly, and don't leave anyone when the duty sentry arrives later." Several veterans helped the wounded companion away. Ning Wei said gratefully: "Brother, thank you." Zhong Yuemin patted him on the shoulder and said, "You should go too. If your recruit company finds out about this, you will probably be punished with a demerit. You must be mentally prepared for this." Ning Wei said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I've already received a warning, one for holding and two for picking."

Zhong Yuemin said: "We are in the first company of the reconnaissance battalion, come and play with us when you have time." "Thank you, brother, I will look for you." Zhou Xiaobai was making duty records in the duty room of the internal medicine department, and instructor Zhang of the internal medicine department opened the door and came in. Zhou Xiaobai stood up: "Instructor Zhang, do you have anything to do?" "Xiao Zhou, it's nothing serious, just sit down and chat casually." "Instructor, you don't seem to be in the habit of chatting at ordinary times. Before doing ideological work for people, you always talk casually, and talk about a few parents' gossip before turning to the main topic. Everyone in the department knows your working method. I think you can just skip the opening statement, and just get straight to the point of what you want to say." Instructor Zhang is a little embarrassed: "Xiao Zhou, your mouth is really powerful, and your brain is also very fast. Well, listen to you, let's go straight. I declare in advance that the issue I want to talk about today is Director Chen of the Political Department." I have confessed, and I have not investigated the specific situation." "Okay, let's get to the point, I'm all ears." "According to someone's report, you recently had a close relationship with a wounded man named Yuan Jun. Is there such a thing?" "Yes, I see him every day, we were friends before enlisting, what's wrong with that?" Instructor Zhang said: "Xiao Zhou, you have performed well after enlisting in the army. You are the child of a leading cadre, so you must set an example everywhere." Zhou Xiaobai asked: "What does this mean? What does this have to do with the children of leading cadres?" "You are already a veteran, you should know the rule that soldiers are not allowed to fall in love during their service?" "You think I'm in a relationship with Yuan Jun? Then let me explain to you that there is no relationship between us, we are just ordinary friends." Instructor Zhang said tactfully: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? Some people reported that you went to the surgery to take care of Yuan Jun every day, and replaced the special care. This seems to have surpassed the relationship between ordinary comrades. Xiao Zhou, you should pay attention to the influence." Just as Zhou Xiaobai was about to speak, she restrained herself and simply stopped explaining. She sat down and continued to write the duty record, and ignored Instructor Zhang. Instructor Zhang became serious: "Comrade Zhou Xiaobai, I am talking to you on behalf of the organization. Please correct your attitude and cooperate with the organization to clarify the matter." Zhou Xiaobai finally couldn't help it anymore: "Instructor Zhang, I have already explained to you, I don't think I need to continue explaining, if the organization doesn't believe it, I have to admit it to be regarded as cooperating with the organization and correcting my attitude. Well, I'll make a fake show and have a real relationship with Yuan Jun, are you satisfied?" Instructor Zhang got angry: "What's your attitude? You have to think about your own future, the consequences will be serious..." Zhou Xiaobai slammed the door hard and walked away. Instructor Zhang trembled with anger. The recruits who joined the army at the end of last year have undergone three months of training, and it is time to be assigned.A large number of veterans of the reconnaissance battalion were also demobilized at the end of last year, and several squad leaders left in a row. Zhong Yuemin, Zhang Haiyang, and Wu Mantun were all squad leaders. Class monitor. When the instructor Dong Ming announced the appointment, Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang immediately expressed their thanks with playful smiles. Zhong Yuemin said: "Thank you instructor for cultivating, give me an official job, instructor, should you and the company commander also change jobs?" Dong Ming said, "What do you mean?" "As soon as the veterans were demobilized, we were promoted to squad leader. If the instructor and company commander change jobs again, we should be promoted to platoon leader. Instructor, please, give us room." Zhang Haiyang also said: "I really should thank the instructor, how about this, you grant us a half-month family leave, if you want to bring something, just talk, you don't want to be polite, we really want to bribe you." Dong Ming said, "Aren't you just talking nonsense again? I want to visit my family, so I can talk about it after three years of service. Zhong Yuemin, I'll bring you a new recruit, and I'll put it in your fifth class, Ning Wei!" Someone outside the door yelled: "Here!" Ning Wei walked into Class 5 with his bag on his back. Zhong Yuemin smiled when he saw him, and he stretched out his hand to Ning Wei and said, "It's you, welcome, welcome." Ning Wei saluted: "Squad leader and deputy squad leader please help." Dong Ming said: "This is a thorn in the side. You will be punished twice if you don't join the recruit company. You must strictly manage it." Zhong Yuemin said: "Don't worry, instructor, our fifth class is a red dye vat, let alone Ning Wei, even if Chiang Kai-shek comes, he can be transformed." The instructor smiled: "Zhong Yuemin, just blow it up, let's get down to business, the drill will be next week, your class must pay special attention, and there must be no accidents." As soon as the instructor went out, Zhong Yuemin hurriedly held a class meeting. His inaugural speech started like this: "Everyone knows, right? From today onwards, I will be the monitor of Class 5, and I will be responsible for all the work in the class. There are two things we have to make clear today. First, is there anyone under my squad leader who is not convinced? If anyone is not convinced, stand up and fight me It's a trick, if I lose, you will be the squad leader.If you lose, be a fighter honestly, don't be aggressive.What's the matter, is there any dissatisfaction? " None of the soldiers in the fifth squad said a word. "Well, if you don't say anything, it means that there is no problem. The problem is over. Second, no matter what happens in the class in the future, we should try our best to solve it in the class. Don't report to the company commander's instructor at any time. This is called a small report. , I hate this the most, so I put the ugly words first, if I find out, don’t blame me for turning my face. I’ve just said so much, do you have any different opinions? Well, no, then the meeting will be adjourned." Zhong Yuemin has been a little restless recently. He has been in the army for three years, and many things have happened in these three years. Although his father has not arranged for work, he has been liberated after all, and he has nothing to worry about at home.The only thing that worried him was Qin Ling. After serving in the army, he wrote at least a dozen letters to Qin Ling, but Qin Ling never replied. Sensible girl, she's an enigma.If Qin Ling just didn't reply to the letter, Zhong Yuemin would still be able to hold his breath. Anyway, knowing that she is still in Baidian Village, Li Kuiyong would write to him every six months and talk about Qinling's situation by the way, but recently Li Kuiyong told him in the letter Well, since Qin Ling went back to Beijing to visit her relatives, she never went back to the village. No one knew where she was going, but Qin Ling disappeared so quietly.After Zhong Yuemin heard the news, he suffered from insomnia for the first time. For several days, he was listless in everything he did, and he even seldom talked. He finally realized that this mental state is called melancholy.Zhong Yuemin had to admit that he really liked Qin Ling, and that this girl made him very worried. After three years, not only did he not forget Qin Ling, but he missed her more and more.What the hell, he didn't know when his mentality towards women had changed so much. A person who plays games should regard every period of his life as a separate game, how could he Can't close a game? Yuan Jun was sitting in a wheelchair, pushed by a nurse, walking around in the garden. Luo Yun walked towards Yuan Jun and greeted Yuan Jun nonchalantly: "Yuan Jun, your injury healed very quickly, congratulations." Yuan Jun said nonchalantly, "Thank you, are you busy?" Luo Yun said to Xiaoyu: "Youngyu, take a rest for a while, and I will push the wheelchair. We are old acquaintances in Beijing." Yu said: "Okay, let's talk, I'll come back later." Luo Yun pushed up the wheelchair and walked slowly in the garden. Luo Yun looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she lowered her voice and said to Yuan Jun, "I have good news for you." Yuan Jun replied indifferently: "I know, I will go to the Military Medical University to study." Luo Yun asked strangely: "You heard that too?" "It's all over the hospital." "What else have you heard?" Yuan Jun said: "I also heard that Zhou Xiaobai had a quarrel with the internal medicine instructor Zhang because of me, and was disqualified from recommendation." Luo Yun sighed and said: "Xiaobai's temper is too big. In fact, she can explain this matter calmly, but she didn't even bother to explain it, so she slammed the door and left. This matter made Director Chen of the Political Department It's all hot." Yuan Jun asked blankly: "Luo Yun, do you feel sorry for your friend in this matter?" "No, the recommendation list is determined by the leaders of the academy, and I can't participate. Yuan Jun, have you heard any discussion?" "I didn't hear the discussion, but this incident was caused by me. Of course I have to think about it. I think you are not very interesting in this matter." Luo Yun's eyes widened in dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with me? I want to hear why I'm not mean enough?" Yuan Jun asked coldly: "You clearly know that Zhou Xiaobai and I are not in a romantic relationship, and Zhou Xiaobai is entrusted by you to take care of me out of friendship. When she was wronged, why didn't you stand up and clarify the facts?" "Then unless I admit my relationship with you, but if this is the case, not only will my qualifications to go to the military medical university be disqualified, but my qualifications as a probationary party member will also be disqualified, and then I will be finished." "So you sacrificed Zhou Xiaobai?" "Why do you talk like that? Why did I sacrifice Zhou Xiaobai?" Yuan Junchang sighed: "Luo Yun, the last military medical university is so important? You don't even want friendship and conscience?" Luo Yun was also in a hurry: "Yuan Jun, don't talk to me in this tone. Zhou Xiaobai was disqualified from being recommended because of her attitude. The public has already reflected that Zhou Xiaobai relied on her father's status to fly high. I don’t pay attention to anyone, and the relationship with the comrades around me is very tense. There have been such discussions in the courtyard, and I didn’t cause it?” Yuan Jun waved his hand wearily: "Call Yu, I'm going back to the ward." Luo Yun's eyes were red: "Why do you treat me like this: I'm leaving tomorrow, why don't you even have a nice word?" "Go ahead and good luck." "You bastard!" Yuan Jun closed his eyes and stopped talking.
