A plate of boiled chicken, a braised fish, and a plate of stir-fried vegetables.
If it was in the city, it would not be considered a sumptuous meal, but in such a small mountain village, it was a rare delicacy.
After receiving the enlistment notice, his mother hurriedly went out to buy a chicken and a fish. She fiddled with them in the kitchen for a long time before making them.
His father put a piece of chicken drumstick into Zhen Dong's bowl."
"When you enter the army, listen to the class monitor and train well. You can't easily cause trouble, understand?”
The father said earnestly. Ever since he knew that his son was going to be a soldier, he took advantage of his free time to chat with several villagers who had been soldiers and learned some rules in the army.
Zhen Dong nibbled on the drumstick and nodded continuously.
His father continued to talk about what he had heard and heard from the villagers over the past few days.
The mother stared at the child. After a long silence, she said,"Son, now that you've learned well, can you…not be a soldier anymore?”
Zhen Dong and Chen Gensheng couldn't help but be stunned as they looked at Li Fei in disbelief.
Being stared at by them, Li Fei also threw caution to the wind and said,"Previously, I planned to send you to the army because I wanted you to quit your internet addiction. Now that you've learned your lesson, why don't we stop being a soldier and find a good job? You can come back to visit me and your father from time to time.”
These days, when Chen Gensheng talked to the veterans, she was also beside him. She knew that not only was it tough to enter the army, but they also had to stay for at least two years. It was difficult and even dangerous to see them.
When she heard this, Li Fei's heart already beat a retreat.
The child was a piece of flesh of the mother, so she naturally could not bear to let the child go out and suffer.
Zhen Dong smiled bitterly." Mother, although it's tough in the army, it's also a kind of experience. Besides, there's also an allowance."”
"That's right. Didn't the old man in the village always talk about how a man's ambition is to travel all over the world?”
Chen Gensheng had always hoped that his child would join the army, so he naturally didn't want Zhen Dong to give up this opportunity.
"That's right, mother." Zhen Dong quickly echoed," Besides, I'm considered a soldier now. If I don't go, I'll be treated as a deserter. Once I become a deserter, I'll be crippled for the rest of my life.”
Zhen Dong knew that deserters were guilty of serious crimes.
Li Fei looked at the two of them and let out a long sigh.
"Alright, it's just that my heart aches when I think about not being able to see you for two years.”
After the meal, Zhen Dong started to pack his things. However, there was no need to bring anything. The army had everything they needed.
He just needed to bring two or three casual clothes and some daily necessities.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
As the bus slowly stopped at the entrance of the village, Zhen Dong carried a bag and dragged his luggage as he walked up alone.
His parents stood under the car and watched Zhen Dong get into the car.
His father's eyes were full of encouragement, hoping that he could make a name for himself in the army.
His mother, on the other hand, was more tender and her eyes were filled with reluctance.
"Take care of your health and call home when you have time.”
Li Fei shouted at Zhen Dong.
Although only the village chief had a phone in the entire village, as long as Zhen Dong called, the couple could run over to answer it within ten minutes.
Zhen Dong sat near the window of the bus. He looked at his parents and nodded heavily.
Although it had only been a month since he was reborn, he had deep feelings for his parents for some reason.
Rumble!
The engine roared and the bus started.
Chen Gensheng and his wife looked at the gradually disappearing class with mixed feelings in their hearts.
Li Fei even leaned on Chen Gensheng's shoulder, tears flowing uncontrollably.
He had been gone for two years, and he had to suffer so much.
Just thinking about it caused Li Fei's heart to ache.
Sitting in the car, Zhen Dong also looked at his parents who were gradually disappearing. His nose felt sour for no reason, and his eyes instinctively became moist.
Coincidentally, this bus was the same one that Chen Gensheng and his wife took when they caught Zhen Dong.
The fat ticket seller saw Zhen Dong's sad look and sighed,"
"Since you know how to be sad, you should improve after entering the army and get rid of your bad habits.”
Zhen Dong nodded.
The bus was still shaking, but it was different from last time.
Last time, Zhen Dong's heart was like the bus, swaying left and right, not knowing how to return.
Now, no matter how shaky the car was, he knew where he should go.
After nearly an hour, the bus finally stopped at the bus terminal.
The bus station was quite a distance away from the armed forces department.
In order to save time, Zhen Dong didn't waste any more time. He used five yuan to get two massages.
"Yo, you're going to be a soldier, right?"
The motorbike driver turned the accelerator, and the engine roared. With Zhen Dong and his luggage in the back seat, he kept overtaking on the road of Chuanliu.
Zhen Dong acknowledged.
The motorcycle driver laughed." Good job. Young people nowadays should be like this. They should put on their military uniforms and serve the country. They shouldn't just lie in front of the computer and be the savior."”
Zhen Dong smiled bitterly in his heart and thought, A month ago, I was also the savior of the computer.”
The motorcycle driver was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he stopped the car at the entrance of the armed forces.
Because today was the day for new recruits to report, the armed forces department was much more lively than usual.
Many young men of his age dragged their suitcases and said goodbye to their parents who sent them here. They stepped into the solemn and sacred armed forces.
He looked up at the red flag flying above the building of the armed forces. The flag was exceptionally bright under the sunlight and kept fluttering in the breeze.
Zhen Dong looked at the inspiring flag. Without hesitation, he followed the crowd and stepped into the armed forces.
This step meant that in the next two years, he would no longer be an ordinary person, but a soldier who served the people and dared to suffer any hardship!
"Recruits who are reporting, gather here!”
After entering the armed forces, a rough voice exploded in their ears.
Zhen Dong looked towards the source of the voice. In an open space not far away, a slightly muscular soldier in military uniform was shouting continuously with a loudspeaker in his hand.
Zhen Dong walked in his direction. When he got closer, he saw that it was a middle-aged man whose face was as black as charcoal.
He wanted to complain in his heart that Bao Zheng was wearing a crescent moon on his head. However, as he looked down, he saw his epaulet and quickly shut up.
The epaulets were adorned with a golden cross-rifle with two folding bars. It was a two-time sergeant.
Beside him were two sergeants of the same rank. Both of them were holding a loudspeaker and shouting one after the other.
Behind the three sergeants was a young man with a stern face. He had a pole and a star on his shoulder. He was a second lieutenant.
It was said that those who carried guns on their shoulders could not compare to those who carried stars on their shoulders. Although this young officer looked to be in his early twenties, the three sergeants all looked honest in front of him and dared not say anything unnecessary.
Although this second lieutenant was young, he had the aura of a big brother.
