Since none of the recruits arrived in one day, most of them reported one after another within a few days.
Li Zheng and the others were the first batch of recruits to arrive at E Division, and their batch was only a few dozen in number, divided into three battalions, with more than two or three in each squad, and only one in each squad, and even some squads did not have a single recruit assigned to them.
This gave rise to an interesting spectacle - there were more veterans than recruits, and more squad leaders than recruits.
In some classes, two squad leaders surrounded a soldier, which was a five-star service.
In order to let the new recruits feel the warmth of the troops, the squad leader and deputy squad leader is simply meticulous, from the toothpaste and toothbrush how to place to the towel how to hang, from what time to get up in the morning to what time to turn off the lights in the evening, what time to open the meal how much time to eat, like a mother as tirelessly said, and keep teaching.
Although it is very clear, but sometimes there will still be a mistake.
After all, the army is the army, the place is the place. From the local enlistment over, the recruits are equivalent to a completely new environment, before some details of life at home to the army will be easy to make jokes.
That night, Wu Yi called a few recruits and announced that he would return their cell phones for them to use for twenty minutes to report peace to their families and so on.
Li Zheng made a call to his grandmother, and the grandmother who received the call was very happy to hear Li Zheng's voice, but she was sobbing on the other end of the phone as she talked.
This was Li Zheng's only immediate family member in the world.
Thinking of his grandson, the grandmother can not help but nose sour, when the earthquake, Li Zheng's family of three only one survived, and has been and the old man dependent on each other since then.
Li Zheng's grandmother is an elementary school teacher in the town, teaching and educating people all his life, his son is also a teacher, if there is no that damned earthquake, this is a cozy and peaceful well-off family, although it is not as rich as most of the middle class in the big city, but to say that the index of happiness, but also will not be worse than the big city people.
Unfortunately, everything is fate, half of it is not human.
An earthquake changed the fate of the family.
Li was emotionally unstable for the first two years after the earthquake, often waking up at night and sleeping with the lights on.
A bright and spacious environment can only give Li Zheng a sense of security, otherwise it will evoke those unfavorable scenes in his heart.
From that time on, the lively Li Zheng matured at a heartbreaking speed.
In the years that the two of them lived together, Li Zheng never needed his grandmother to worry about anything for him. Household chores, study, life, all other children need parents to take care of things to help Li Zheng all take on, never ask grandmother to worry about.
When Li Zheng was admitted to Tunghai University, he thought twice about filling out his wish list and wanted to study in a university close to his home, which in the final analysis was convenient for him to go home to see his grandmother, and he could rush back to take care of anything.
When the grandmother found Li Zheng's idea, always kind to the old family angry slap in Li Zheng's face.
"Don't forget that your life was exchanged for your mom and dad's life, what you should be doing is to live the happiness of three people by yourself, instead of giving up the opportunity that you should have been able to get for me!"
Read a book, go to a good school and read a good book.
For a veteran teacher, no one understands the significance of obtaining a higher education better than she does.
A famous university and an ordinary three-book, which is better, which is more capable of making people successful, obviously the result is clear at a glance.
Li Zheng was confused and awakened by his grandmother's slap.
For the grandmother, the best love was to let go and let her grandson pursue a better future.
For Li Zheng, making his grandmother happy is the best thing he he should do, if staying in the local neighborhood for college will make his grandmother sad, that's not his purpose.
Li Zheng was not opposed by his grandmother to the matter of military service.
Back then, my grandson was rescued by a big-head soldier in military uniform, digging through the rubble with his hands and pulling him out from underneath the shattered and broken walls.
Without the People's Liberation Army, Li Zheng's life would not have been possible.
Being a soldier, for Li Zheng, is as pious as a believer walking thousands of kilometers on pilgrimage with three steps and a kowtow.
If he doesn't become a soldier once in his life, Li Zheng won't find peace in his heart.
When the two of them were talking on the phone, Li Zheng heard his grandmother's low sobbing over there, his nose was a little sour, the corners of his eyes were a little hot, and his eyes were about to burst into tears, but he was able to hold them back.
He put on the uniform, at least a soldier.
Soldiers are not not crying, can not just cry.
Others are on the phone, Fatty Wei sat alone on the bench out of mind.
Wu Yi said, "You wait for Li Zheng to finish calling, you can borrow his cell phone, and report to your family later."
Fatty Wei's cell phone was a fruit machine and could not be used due to the security and confidentiality regulations of the army.
Fatty Wei didn't raise his head and said, "Squad Leader, I don't need to make a phone call."
It was the first time Wu Yi had seen a recruit not wanting to call his family when he arrived at the army, so he asked curiously, "You don't need to report to your family?"
Fatty Wei shook his head, "My dad doesn't care, when I went to the army he said, let me get far away, don't think about calling him when I get to the army, don't even look for him to ask for money, don't go back to see him if you don't make some achievements in the army."
Wu Yi said, "Your father that is to say the words of anger, estimated that this moment on the cell phone waiting for you to call you believe it?"
Fatty Wei pondered for a moment shook his head and said: "Do not believe, squad leader you do not know, my father has been a soldier for five years, the heart can be hard, said to do, I do not call him, so as not to be scolded."
Wu looked at aliens like looking at Fatty Wei, the forest is big, what birds have, other people's family affairs he did not want to get involved, especially Fatty Wei's family seems to have some can not say the secret.
Just like in the afternoon, he immediately flared up and stormed out because Zhang Jian mentioned his mother in one sentence, not hesitating to get into a fight.
After thinking about it again, Wu Yi finally decided not to interfere, not interfere but still left a tail, persuaded: "Not call can, I see you find time to write a letter to your father, under the sky there is no father who does not love his son, your father is so to you, it seems that your kid at home is certainly not a light, do a lot of your father angry to the seven corners of the smoke of the broken things, right? "
Fatty Wei did not speak, staring at the window in front of him, like an old monk in meditation.
Wu Yi had to leave and let him calm himself.
Sometimes people have emotional problems, let him alone quietly than persuade him a hundred words are good.
That night, lights out at ten o'clock, this is the army's summer work and rest time.
I heard that another batch of new recruits would report at 12:00 tonight, so the squad leaders went to the regiment's entrance to pick up the soldiers, and only Hu Chenxi, the deputy squad leader, was left on duty in the platoon room to watch over the new recruits.
In accordance with the provisions of the night squad leader is certain to check the bunk check, this is the tradition.
But I didn't expect this check, in turn, found out things.
