The next morning, Gao Cheng was woken up by the sound of soldiers training outside the window. This was the first time in his life that he didn't listen to the wake-up call, and also the first time in his life that he didn't want to go out for morning training.
Gao Cheng turned over comfortably. As soon as he turned over, he saw a butt wiggling in front of his eyes, giving him a fright. Gao Cheng looked carefully and realized that it was Xu Sanduo sweeping the floor. He patted Xu Sanduo, who immediately stood up and said to him,"Good morning, Company Commander."
"Don't move. I'll clean it up later.”Gao Cheng narrowed his eyes and said.
"No need, I'm almost done." Xu Sanduo continued to sweep.
Gao Cheng looked at Xu Sanduo's busy face and said,""I've been thinking about getting someone to open the back door and transfer you or me away. Is this your revenge, Xu Sanduo? Humiliate me with what I originally asked for, and make me feel useless every minute.”
"No, I haven't." Xu Sanduo answered simply.
"Give me a reason."
"You've always been good."
"Even I don't believe it myself." Gao Cheng laughed at himself.”
"You're strict with people, and you're afraid that I'll fall off after the class monitor leaves. Acting class monitor, I know that this is the instructor's suggestion. He wants me to take responsibility. I finally understand why you treated me like that in the past. Let me write a 5,000-word self-reflection so that I can think about it myself. I'm thinking more than I used to. You want to change me.”
"This, this isn't a reason. You only hate me for one thing. I didn't ask you to send your class monitor off, right?”
"Yes."
Although Xu Sanduo admitted that he hated Gao Cheng for not letting him send Shi Jin back then, what Xu Sanduo was thinking about most now was whether he had harmed Shi Jin by sending him to the special forces. This was the biggest demon in Xu Sanduo's heart.
Gao Cheng did not know what Xu Sanduo was thinking. He clapped his hands and said to Xu Sanduo,"I guessed right."
Xu Sanduo said to Gao Cheng,"You and I are two different things. One is heaven and the other is earth. We can't talk about each other."”
"Yes, parallel lines will never cross.”As he spoke, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and started smoking.
"I'm sad that the class monitor is gone. Seven consecutive changes, you are sad. This is the only similarity between the two of us. I know that feeling. I won't take revenge on anyone over this matter. I understand that you didn't ask me to send the class monitor off. People have to bear the consequences for their mistakes. Captain, if there's nothing else, I'll go out for morning training.”
This was the first time Gao Cheng had heard Xu Sanduo lecture him on so many things. Gao Cheng was so angry that he forgot that his hand was still wrapped in gauze and slapped it on the bed. With a bang, Gao Cheng grimaced in pain.
"What are you doing now? Why are you busier than before after the company disbanded?”Gao Chengbian rubbed his hands and asked.
"Running. I haven't run the 10,000 meters today.”
Gao Cheng waved his hand angrily and asked Xu Sanduo to go out for a run. Gao Cheng was alone in the room, listening to the sounds of training outside. He looked at the empty dormitory and was about to go down when his head hit the edge of the bed. Gao Cheng held his head and stomped his feet as he cursed,"Even drinking cold water can stuff your teeth."
Xu Sanduo ran on the field. After ten minutes, a figure overtook Xu Sanduo and ran in front. Xu Sanduo looked and shouted in surprise,"Company commander."
"I'll go with you," Gao Cheng said as he ran.”
"What?" Xu Sanduo didn't understand what Gao Cheng meant.
"I don't care if you want revenge or insist on it. I'm going with you. If you want to do it as usual, then do it. You don't have to be polite. You don't have to treat me as a company commander.”
"But you are the company commander." Xu Sanduo asked foolishly.
"Don't give me face."
"A soldier without a sense of superiority and inferiority is like a grasshopper after autumn.”Xu Sanduo used the same words that Gao Cheng had said before to give Gao Cheng a loud slap in the face.
"Alright, two in a row, three in a row. Everything will be as usual. I'll make you feel good.”
Just like that, Gao Cheng and Xu Sanduo started to compete. Ever since Gao Cheng told Xu Sanduo to form a pair, Xu Sanduo had been walking side by side with Gao Cheng all the time. No matter what Gao Cheng did, he could not change Xu Sanduo's mind. Gradually, Gao Cheng got used to Xu Sanduo's life as if Steel Seventh Company still existed. He seemed to have forgotten the fact that Steel Seventh Company had disbanded, and every day he lived with Xu Sanduo the same as before.
After about half a month, just when Gao Cheng and Xu Sanduo thought that the regiment had forgotten about them, an order about Gao Cheng was sent to the regiment headquarters.
Gao Cheng looked at his transfer order and did not know what to feel. Should he laugh? Transferring from a company commander to a deputy battalion commander was indeed a promotion. He should laugh. Should she cry? Steel Seventh Company was gone. He had worked so hard for so many years and finally received the approval of his superiors. He should be crying too.
The regiment commander looked at Gao Cheng's complicated expression and said,""See clearly, what else do you have to say?”
"This matter has something to do with my father, right?”Gao Cheng thought about it for a while and decided to get to the bottom of it.
"I knew you were going to ask this question. How many people in the division know that your father is a commander?”
"If the regiment knows, how could the division not know? I'm mighty in the regiment, and I'm domineering in the camp. Sixteen company commanders, my boss. You and I have been working as usual. I always thought that I earned them with my own abilities. But in reality, I'm like a monkey in the park.”
"Why did you suddenly think of saying such things today?”
"It's nothing. I just finally have time to think about it.”
"Think about it. Then I'll tell you the truth. This matter has something to do with your father. Which officer didn't have the signature of the commander? It would be a joke to say that it didn't matter. If you say that they are related, it's just that little bit of relationship. It depends on what you think.”
"Obey orders." Gao Cheng replied casually.
"You seem a little off today."”
"No, I've understood something these past two days. It is great to have tolerance, and it is strong to have no desire. If you are someone else, you are yourself. This kind of world was the best place to run, especially for the mobile troops.”
The regiment commander smiled. He was happy with Gao Cheng's change."How did you figure it out?"
"Actually, people who mature early usually mature late. Proud people are very impatient. I have both. I know a person, him. When he does every little thing, he clings to it like a life-saving straw. One day, when I saw him, oh my god, he was hugging a huge tree that I could only look up to.”
"Are you talking about Xu Sanduo?"
"That's right. If this was in the past, I wouldn't care about anything he did. He was so stubborn that he was like a fool. But now that he looked at it, faith was not something that was said. It was something that was done. Do you still remember him?”
"Why don't I remember him? Back then, the Company Commander of the Seventh Company did not want him no matter what.”
Hearing the regiment commander expose his past shortcomings, Gao Cheng said embarrassedly,"This is all in the past."
"Uncle Wang."
"Hmm?"
"I have a request."
"Speak."
"I want to bring a few soldiers to the armored reconnaissance battalion.”
"Xu Sanduo?"
"Yes."
"Impossible."
"Then I, I'll take Wu Liuyi.”
"It's even more impossible. I'm already regretting your departure, especially after this conversation. Is there anything else?"
"Then that's it."
"Then you can go."
Gao Cheng grabbed the order and was about to leave when the commander called out to him again,"Gao Cheng, three years in the military academy, one year as a platoon leader, and three years as a company commander. I hope you won't let these seven years down.”
Gao Cheng nodded his head vigorously after listening to the regiment commander's last words. Just as he was about to leave, Gao Cheng suddenly remembered Xu Sanduo. He asked the regiment commander,"If I leave, Xu Sanduo will be the only one left in the Seventh Company.”
"This is not something you should worry about."
Hearing that the regiment commander had no intention of revealing Xu Sanduo's whereabouts, Gao Cheng turned around and left. The regiment commander looked at Gao Cheng's back and sighed in a voice that only he could hear.""Xu Sanduo, sigh, even I can't get this talent.”
