Zhang Jian's appearance did shock Li Zheng.
Next to him, Fatty Wei, who was good at reading people's words, whispered, "You know him?"
Li Zheng nodded and immediately shook his head again.
He was not sure if he counted himself as knowing Zhang Jian.
Fatty Wei said, "He came in a troop car just now."
The implication was that Zhang Jian was from an unusual place.
This was not a surprise to Li Zheng.
Listening to Shao Xiaoqian, Zhang Jian's father seemed to be some kind of chief of staff.
What surprised him was not what Zhang Jian was, but like Zhang Jian also came to be a soldier.
According to the saying, a son of the army, to be a soldier is nothing to be surprised, but Li Zheng just have a kind of indescribable feeling.
It was too coincidental!
Looking at Zhang Jian's orderly queue movements, Li Zheng felt like he was cheating.
People have grown up in the army since childhood, more familiar with the army than children from ordinary families, and understand the army better, it is possible that the gun has touched a few bad, and bullets have been shot I do not know how many rounds.
The speech soon ended, and the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums rang out again.
Recruits lined up, pulling a trolley case, wearing a big red flower, one after another into the station.
The receiving cadre was a captain, surnamed He, a company commander.
This time, a total of 142 people enlisted from the city of Donghai City to go to Group D Army, of which 32 are from the Meng Hu Regiment side, and all of them are in charge of leading the team by Company Commander He.
After the enlistment ceremony outside the station, it was finally time to say goodbye to the family members and the enlisted recruits.
Fathers gave their sons a strong hug, patted their sons on the back, and told him with strong force that he was going to be a man from now on.
Mothers quietly wiped their tears, unable to let go but not knowing how to express, wanting to cry but afraid of losing face for their sons in front of everyone.
Good buddies and friends have sent their blessings, made a promise, fist pumping and shaking hands to meet again in two years in the jianghu.
Li Zheng is still alone, but he realized that he is not the only one who is alone, there are people like him.
That is Fatty Wei.
A person with a ten thousand yuan LV bag full of Chinese cigarettes actually no one to see off?
I've never seen such a rich orphan.
Fatty Wei has been cheeky with anyone who is familiar, very social type of young people, but this moment Li Zheng still saw from his eyes lost.
I don't know what kind of story this guy with a big pie face and black bean eyes has.
Waiting for the end of the farewell, the new recruits into the station in formation, in the hall stood full of a piece of the station at this time hung full of red banners, above are welcome new recruits into the army and other slogans, but there is also another kind of slogan, that is, welcome the veterans to return to their hometowns banners.
The new recruits who have not gone through the formation training stand loosely, carrying their own backpacks and yellow basins, wearing camouflage uniforms without ranks, standing there with a green face, the travelers have to cast an eyeball salute, and look at these raw eggs a little shy.
"All on my command." Company Commander He stood in front of the line, his voice overpowering the radio murmur from the station, "Drop your backpacks and sit down!"
Everyone sparsely put down their backpacks and sat on them.
But just before their asses touched the backpacks, they heard Company Commander He suddenly give another order, "All of you, stand up!"
"Play!" Fatty Wei was the first to be dissatisfied.
This order to sit down, and then let stand up, tossing is not?
Li is wondering, suddenly saw the direction of the exit came a team of soldiers also wearing military uniforms also no rank.
New soldiers?
This idea just appeared and was quickly rejected by Li Zheng himself.
It's the old soldiers!
The new soldiers and veterans are clear at a glance.
The walking posture and temperament were different.
This was the veteran returning from military service, the same big red flower hanging on his chest, the same uniform without rank, the same hat without a cap badge.
The difference was that the new recruits had less of a soldier's flavor on them, and the veterans, even without their rank and cap insignia, oozed out of every pore the kind of stoicism and tantalization that belonged only to veterans.
"Salute to the veterans!" Company Commander He first raised his hands in salute.
The new recruits raised their right hands crookedly and followed suit.
In the entire group, only Zhang Jian did not move.
Li Zheng curiously glanced sideways at Zhang Jian.
Fatty Wei reminded him, "Brother, salute."
Zhang Jian disdainfully glanced at Fatty Wei, standing straight, but his tone was colder than ice: "Salute my ass! Are you qualified?"
Fatty Wei's face instantly darkened.
He said he was not qualified?
Damn it!
Thinking that this was in public, Fatty Wei gritted his teeth and swallowed his breath.
Zhang Jian glanced at him coldly again, "Not convinced? Do you know the rules and regulations? Even the rank is not hung, what are you qualified to salute? Do you think you can salute whenever you want? Why are you following Captain He's salute? Just stand still!"
Li Zheng was now worried that Fatty Wei would have a fit, Zhang Jian's dislike of the way he spoke was no different from provocation.
Unexpectedly, Fatty Wei's face suddenly and miraculously normalized after several changes, grinned and put his hand down and said, "OK, you know, I'll listen to you."
The veteran team walked in unison past the new recruits' queue, and both sides' gazes were projected onto each other.
At that moment, Li Zheng was suddenly strangely moved and his sweat hairs stood up.
It was a strange feeling.
It was as if he saw his future self in these veterans.
Confident, resolute, tanned skin, athletic stance.
The veterans smiled faintly at the new recruits, as if they had also seen themselves back then, so kindly.
If time could be turned back, perhaps the veterans would like to go back to those days and tell themselves many, many experiences in the barracks.
Both sides salute each other with their eyes.
There is something called "inheritance" in the air of the station, which is a marvelous fusion, and something in the veterans seems to have been passed on to the new recruits through some unseen ties.
Cheer up comrades, the responsibility of defending our country is in your hands from today onwards!
Don't worry, veterans! I'll take over your guns and stand guard. The motherland will be guarded by me from today!
Fatty Wei's attention was different from Li Zheng's.
He stared at a bunch of medals hanging on the chest of a veteran.
"That's awesome ...," he boasted for himself, "In the future, I'm going to hang a bunch of this stuff and come back, sunshine it to my dad, and see if he dares to say I'm useless."
"Stuff?" Zhang Jian and can not help but dislike: "Please respect those medals, you see that one, there is the military emblem, the Great Wall, laurel leaves, the cornerstone picture eucalyptus, that is called bronze national defense service commemorative medals, to serve for eight years to get, there is also that one, the sharp medal, is to achieve the standard of the sharp in the martial arts in order to get, and there are also a third-class medal, that at least to be trained to be the best, outstanding performance in order to get! ..."
He also forgot to give Fatty Wei a cold look to hit the other side: "Just you? Can you do it?"
Li Zheng couldn't help but frown.
I've seen a poisonous tongue, but I've never seen such a poisonous tongue.
Xiaoqian said Zhang Jian is arrogant, the usual people do not see eye, this is not see eye, this is in the eyes of no one.
And can't see on can't see on this nothing, can't see on also have to step on two, this will kill.
Li Zheng again began to see Fatty Wei's face in the change, chest up and down several times, finally, Fatty Wei suddenly closed his eyes slightly, his mouth read the words: "Hundred patience into gold ... Hundred patience into gold ... Hundred patience into gold ..."
This time it was Zhang Jian's turn to be a bit confused, "You kid is chanting?"
