Chapter 4 Enlisted in the Army That Year(1/2)
Li Zheng had the heart to hit the wall with his head.
The gift is a Duan inkstone, a gift carefully selected by Li Zheng.
I heard from Shao Xiaoqian that her father likes to do things when he is fine, so buying four treasures in the study is called to suit his preferences.
If you don’t spend a lot of money, can someone let you take away the cabbage you have raised for so many years in the future?
But I never expected that when I met, I threw the gift when I was nervous.
Looking at the Duan inkstone lying on the ground, Li Zheng was completely muddy this time. Although it was packed, I don’t know if it was broken.
When it came, Shao Xianyong broke the deadlock, leaned over and picked up the inkstone on the ground, held it in his hand and weighed it, and then smiled and said, "Young man, don't be nervous, this is not to let you go to the battlefield."
Turning around and pointing at the sofa, he said casually: "Don't stand, sit."
Li Zheng quickly sat down, his eyes looked at his nose and his heart, and his sitting posture was as straight as a primary school student.
Shao Xiaoqin's mother Li Yueqin came out of the kitchen and poured tea for several people. She looked at Li Zheng for a long time before going back to the kitchen to continue her work.
When it was time to eat, Shao Xiaoqian also signed up for the army and told him about the fact that Li Zheng was also signed up for the army.
Shao Xianyong seemed very happy when he heard that the young man in front of him was going to join the army.
"Young people should go to the army to exercise," he said: "Young people nowadays do not lack knowledge or knowledge, but they are the iron blood in their bones."
After saying this, I still feel a little unfulfilled. I pointed to the TV and said, "You can't be like the young people in the TV. I don't know whether they are men or women. How can such a next generation defend our motherland and borders?"
Shao Xiaoqian said: "Dad, you can't say that. People's slut is called slut, and has a huge lethality. Think about it, even the veterans who have been on the battlefield like this last time saw Liancha spraying all over the place. During the war, those sluts were grouped together and stood there. They couldn't kill the enemy, but they could disgust the enemy!"
Shao Xianyong was amused by his daughter, and Li Yueqin laughed too. After laughing, she did not forget to criticize her, making her daughter speak like a girl should be.
Li Zheng was very nervous and thought that Shao Xianyong should be a senior officer at the level of the chief. In his inertial thinking, he always felt that soldiers were a very serious profession and were serious.
But after the chat started, I realized that even a senior commander, when he returned home, took off his military uniform and went in front of his daughter, he was a kind father. No matter how many stars were hung on his shoulders, his baby daughter could also make fun of her.
The atmosphere was very harmonious, and the family dinner lasted for two hours.
As a veteran, Shao Xianyong naturally had to encourage young juniors like Li Zheng who pursued their military dreams.
In his words, although Li Zheng and Shao Xiaoqian are now a couple, the road ahead is still long. If you can't even stand the temporary separation, how can you spend decades together in the future?
Li Zheng was overjoyed as he listened.
Shao Xianyong seemed to have no intention of objection, and to say so, it was clearly agreed to his daughter's choice and would not interfere.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening after coming out of Shao Xiaoqian's house. Li Zheng felt an indescribable pleasure in his chest. Looking at the stars in the sky and looking at the quiet military barracks around him, he couldn't help but pick up Shao Xiaoqian beside him, and turned around hard. While turning, he shouted: "Xiaoqian, I love you!"
Shao Xiaoqian smiled happily, pretended to beat Li Zheng's back, and shouted coquettishly: "Let me down, this is a military camp, don't let people see it!"
This scene has always been deeply engraved in Li Zheng's heart. Even when he came to the military camp later, whenever he thought of the sweetness at that moment, he would be filled with happy smirks on his face like an idiot.
Time passes quietly, and autumn comes in a blink of an eye.
After the physical examination and political review process was completed, Li Zheng put on the camouflage uniform distributed by the armed forces, put on a big red flower, walked to the station with the sound of gongs and drums, and walked into his own military years.
Shao Xiaoqian and Li Zheng did not leave on the same day, and the female soldier had to leave two days earlier.
When he left, Li Zheng went to see him off.
When it was about to get in the car, Shao Xiaoqian's eyes turned red, she quietly stuffed a note into Li Zheng's hand, and turned around to the car.
Li Zheng chased the platform for a while before he remembered the note. He spread his palm and saw a line of words written on it - I look forward to you joining the army wearing a big red flower and retiring with a military medal! Come on, my man!
Shao Xiaoqian joined the army two days earlier than Li Zheng, and all of them went to the G Military Region.
Li Zheng went to the Tiger Regiment under the G Military Region D Group Army.
Tiger Group, this title sounds loud enough.
On the day he joined the army and went to the military camp, Li was the loneliest person in the entire railway station.
Others have family members to see them off, but he doesn't.
Grandma is old, and Li Zheng doesn't want her to come to the station to see her off. Only one teacher in the school comes to deliver her to the school on behalf of the school.
"Li Zheng, when you get to the army, you must do it well and don't lose the face of our Donghai University."
The teacher who sent him was named Luo, who taught criminal law. Anyone who studied the law was a biased towards excessive rational thinking and absolutely realistic.
Sure enough, after some encouragement, Teacher Luo changed his tone and said with a little regret: "With your grades, you can be admitted to the postgraduate degree after completing your undergraduate degree. There is a great opportunity to stay in school in the future. I can still understand others who go to the army. I never expected you to choose to go to the army."
Li Zheng said: "Being a soldier is my dream."
Teacher Luo's expression seemed to be looking at aliens. In his opinion, most college students went to the army to find a way out. Many people went to get extra points for the postgraduate entrance examination, and some people went to make tuition exemptions.
Li Zheng received scholarships every year, so he shouldn't care about these things.
But as a role model, he cannot explicitly say that this approach is not desirable, after all, it is a good thing to contribute to the country.
So he smiled and said, "It is a good thing for young people to have dreams..."
After a pause, I felt that I should remind Li Zheng: "It won't be fine if I have been in the last two years. Don't stay in the army for too long."
Li Zheng immediately understood Teacher Luo's "good intention", which means that although college students who enlisted in the army according to regulations can return to school to study in this major within two years from retirement from active service, their academic qualifications will be retained.
In other words, no matter how many years you have been a soldier, your academic qualifications are still there, and you can do it when you are discharged from the army and when you return to school.
But when it is too long, even if you return to school or even graduate, you will still suffer losses in the future compared with your peers.
The loss is due to age.
For example, you have been a non-commissioned officer for five years. Based on Li Zheng's current age of 21, he was 26 when he was discharged from the army and studied for two more years after returning to school. He was already 28 when he graduated. At this time, his fellow students of the same class have either graduated from the law firm or the public entrance examination for several years, and those who studied for masters have graduated and found a job. He is still a "fresh graduate" who has just obtained a diploma and entered society to find a way out.
This is Teacher Luo’s kindness to start from “realism”.
Li Zheng understood, but was not moved.
Being a soldier is not an impulse to look at it, but for Li Zheng, this is a matter of careful consideration.
What is a dream?
It's something you can sacrifice everything to pursue.
Whether life is perfect and without regrets depends on whether you realize your dream.
"Thank you, teacher."
Teacher Luo obviously saw Li Zheng’s thoughts. He was a little embarrassed and knew that it was meaningless to say such words at this time.
So I coughed twice, concealed my emotions, and then made an excuse to say goodbye: "There is something else in school, so I won't send you into the car by teacher. I guess the leaders in this city will concentrate on you to talk later. You know me, I am interested in my major, and I hate those superficial skills the most, so let's go first."
Li Zheng nodded quickly: "Teacher, go and do your business. I will take good care of myself. Thank you for sending me to you."
Teacher Luo looked around and saw that the young people who had just joined the army were all kinds of farewell feelings surrounded by their families, and only Li Zheng was alone.
He is an orphan, Teacher Luo knows it.
But Li Zheng is the most successful student he has ever met. No matter where this young man goes, Teacher Luo doesn’t need to worry. He has been taking care of himself since he was a teenager and even his grandmother is well taken care of. If you throw him into Africa, he can live well.
"Let's go, Li Zheng, be successful!"
He clenched his fists, waved hard at Li Zheng twice, and turned around and walked out of the square.
As soon as Teacher Luo left, a fat and fat recruit appeared from behind like a ghost.
"Are you a college student?"
Li Zheng was startled by the fact that this guy walked silently, and he was as elusive as a ghost in a movie.
When I saw it, I suddenly felt unscientific.
This guy is chubby, bigger in size, shorter in height, and definitely one-third more weight than himself.
This guy looks big in everything, but his eyes are very small, like two sesame seeds that are still on his face.
"right……"
"Original University?"
"Um……"
"A prestigious university!"
The fat man immediately became excited, regardless of whether the two knew each other or not, and reached out his fleshy hands without saying a word, grabbed Li Zheng's hands and shook them violently.
The expression on his face is like a relative meeting with the People's Liberation Army.
Li Zheng was a little confused by the fat man's sudden enthusiasm.
The fat man in front of him was neither close nor for the sake of it, but he had a familiar passion that only pyramid schemers had.
What does he want to do?
Look at the camouflage uniforms that were exactly the same as himself, and the silver trolley box distributed by the armed forces.
That's right, this guy is a recruit like himself.
"You...I..."
Li Zheng looked embarrassed and tried hard to pull back his hand, but he couldn't shrink back. The fat man was very strong and grabbed it tightly.
The fat man said sincerely: "Don't be afraid, let's make friends, I... I graduated from high school, no, I just barely graduated from high school. My high school teacher was afraid that I would stay in school and not leave, so I asked me to graduate and get out of here. So I like to make friends with you famous college students the most. My surname is Wei, and my name is Wei Guoxing. You call me Fat Brother, they all call me that."
Li Zheng blushed and almost begged, "Okay... Fat Brother, please let go first. It's broad daylight, we two men hold hands like this... it's not good-looking..."
