After a bumpy journey, Wang Yifan and Hu Gang finally returned to the military unit. This military unit was located at the Helan Mountain Pass. In this desert, they were spreading their youth and dreams. If this was a field of hope, then their love was an oasis of hope in this desert.
Who would know where their feelings would end up, and who would understand their crazy love? It was said that in times of peace, there was no use for soldiers. However, who knew what they were doing every day, every month, and every year? Training was still training. Without any enemies or opponents, they would practice by themselves and imagine everyone as their opponents. Some people said that they were stupid, while others said that they were stubborn. However, this was how soldiers were like. If it were not for the blood of their predecessors, would the color of the five-starred red flag be so bright?
If it weren't for their contributions to the border, would there be the current economic development? Who wouldn't think of them in the face of a disaster? Who wouldn't think of them in the face of a flood? When the Sichuan earthquake happened, who didn't shed tears for them? Anyone who saw them would see hope. However, when everything was calm, who would think of them?
All of Wang Yifan's companies were model companies in their regiment. Every year, the company would be rated as an outstanding company. Their company would take on all kinds of missions every year. It was not difficult for them to get a ranking. It was just a matter of ranking. Most of the officers who had left their companies were now holding important positions in regiments, divisions, and even the army. This was also the glory of their company. Even the honor displayed in the honor room inspired them.
When he had just joined the army, the squad leader had asked him which company he wanted to join. He said that if he wanted to go, he had to go to a good company. If he wanted to go to a bad company, he might as well not be a soldier. If he wanted to be a soldier, he had to be a good soldier. Otherwise, he had to not be a soldier.
When he was in the recruit company, he was the one who trained the hardest. Every time he was assessed, he would hover between the first and second place. In the end, he entered the company as he wished. The company commander Kang Ming was his hometown. Although they were not in the same county, they were in the same city and not far away. Kang Ming graduated from a military school. He had led the platoon from platoon leader to deputy company commander to company commander. In the past three years, Kang Ming had led them to complete many missions. They were all outstanding. Basically, there were soldiers who made contributions every year.
Wang Yifan was no exception. He had already achieved third-class merit three times. He was second in the entire group for the five-kilometer cross-country, first in the 400-meter obstacle course, and first in the shooting range. Kang Ming was very satisfied with this result, so he was the first person in the company to sign the officer.
Instructor Geng Kun also liked him very much. The instructor was from Sichuan. He was straightforward and every meal was spicy. If he didn't eat chili, he would stand there and scold the cooking squad leader.'You son of a b * tch! You embezzled my chili again. If I don't see chili next time, you son of a b * tch can quit.'
Every time he scolded the cooking squad leader, the instructor would leave happily, leaving the cooking squad leader to watch with a smile. In fact, the two of them were from the same hometown and seemed to be related. No one asked about the details.
Although the army didn't allow soldiers to be beaten or scolded, it couldn't be helped. The instructor's words offended many people because of this. However, the instructor still did what he wanted. He was always happy all day long. He said that as he said, that son of a b * tch didn't like him and could even take off his clothes. This way, he could go home and spend some time with his wife and children. Every time, it was just talk. Because of this, the political commissar had criticized him many times, but he was still his nephew holding the lantern--as usual.
In the end, the leader saw that there was nothing he could do and let him be. Actually, there was no other way. Scolding people was not something that anyone could do from the beginning. It would not be passed down from generation to generation. The others were already used to their regiment commander scolding people. Sometimes, they would say that if they didn't hear their regiment commander scold them that day, they would just have to wait! If the Guild Leader scolds you, it proves that you are still useful.
Some people say that soldiers are too vulgar, but you've never thought about what a group of men can say when they're together. Although the era of scolding people had passed, have you never discovered their cute side? Truthfulness, honesty, and reliability seemed to have become rare virtues in this era where trust was lacking.
In the company, besides Hu Gang, the person who had the best relationship with Wang Yifan was their platoon leader, Ma Xiaochuan. Ma Xiaochuan was a typical northwestern person. He had the honest and simple character of a northwestern person.
However, he would never speak loudly to others, nor would he scold anyone. Whenever you made a mistake, he would call you to the side and reason with you. Sometimes, they would privately say that they should let the platoon leader Ma Xiaochuan be the instructor, so that at least they would not be scolded. In the end, the instructor found out once. Unexpectedly, the instructor smiled and said,"You stupid son, Ma Xiaochuan still has a chance to be the instructor. I have high hopes for you, Ma Xiaochuan!" Ma Xiaochuan didn't know whether to laugh or stand. In fact, they all knew that the instructor would not take it seriously. Ma Xiaochuan would also be promoted in the near future. It was only a matter of time.
The company would definitely not let a talent like Wang Yifan retire from the army. Besides, Wang Yifan had never thought of retiring from the army. He promised his father that he would stay until he became a Grade 4 Sergeant Major. That way, the regiment would no longer have a system. He could only retire from the army. That way, when he returned to the county town, he could be arranged a job. Under the influence of the old man, it was better to live in the government than to do business all day long. He did not have to worry too much and it was also very dignified.
Wang Yifan did his best to perform in the army. When others were in the army and the leaders were delivering things, he was on the training ground. When everyone else was playing, he was still on the training ground. When others went out shopping, he was still at the training ground. Therefore, everyone in the regiment, be it the regiment commander, political commissar, chief of staff, or a few standing committee members, knew him.
Kang Ming had scolded him for his suicidal training method countless times, but he was still the same. However, every time he got good results, the company commander would always laugh and scold him. He's taken back another good thing for us. He turned around and told the cooking squad leader to add more food tonight. Remember to add two more slices of meat for this kid. He was as thin as a monkey.
At this moment, everyone laughed. To say that Wang Yifan was a celebrity in their group was also something that was exchanged with blood and sweat. However, after he returned this time, for some reason…Wang Yifan stopped training, and he was nowhere to be seen on the training ground. For a few days, besides the usual exercise classes, Wang Yifan locked himself in his room. Ma Xiaochuan was his platoon leader, so his behavior was very strange. The company commander and the instructor were also puzzled. He could only ask Ma Xiaochuan to ask Wang Yifan.
"Wang Yifan, what's wrong with you recently? Did something happen at home? We're brothers. If you need any help, you have to tell me.”Wang Yifan smiled at Ma Xiaochuan.
"Thank you, platoon leader. I'm fine. Everything at home is fine. I was supposed to go home to get married, but something happened to the bride's family. I'm really fine. Don't worry. I'll tell you if anything happens.”Wang Yifan smiled apologetically at Ma Xiaochuan again, but Ma Xiaochuan was not a fool. He could not see that his smile was uglier than his tears.
"It's fine. Is it about your wife? You brat, didn't you realize that you locked yourself in your room like a big girl when you came back this time? Don't lie to me. Take a look at yourself in the mirror. You look uglier when you smile than when you cry. You might as well cry for me to see. Quick, don't be like a girl. If you have something to say, say it. If you want to make me anxious, let me tell you. You haven't been to the training ground recently. The regiment commander thought that you were sick. The day before yesterday, he called the company commander to ask.”Ma Xiaochuan paused for a moment.
"The company commander and the instructor are very worried about you. They don't want to burden you, so they asked me to ask. Actually, I felt that something was wrong when you came back that day. I thought that you were tired from getting married, so I didn't ask you. But look at you recently. Do you look like a soldier? Don't you know that you have to study the issue of staying in the team recently? Do you still want to sign as a sergeant today? Looking at your half-dead appearance, I really want to beat you up.”Ma Xiaochuan was so angry that he looked at Wang Yifan. He didn't understand. This kid had been like this every day since he came back.
"Platoon leader, I'm sorry for making you worry. Don't worry, I'm really fine. I'll be fine tomorrow. I'll go to the training ground to train so that the company commander and the instructor won't worry about me. I don't have any thoughts about signing as a sergeant. Let nature take its course!”
"You brat, what do you mean by letting nature take its course? You have the ability and strength. If even the commander doesn't want you, who else can he keep? If the battalion commander doesn't want you, I believe that the company commander and the instructor will definitely argue with the battalion commander and the instructor. You don't know, but the company commander and the instructor like you very much. They have selfish motives for you. I hope you understand what I'm saying. We really treat you as a brother. Didn't you notice that the instructor has stopped scolding you recently? When the company commander is free, he just sits in the room and smokes. You know that the company commander never smokes much. The company has been in a dead mood recently, and the commander was scolded by the battalion commander today, all because of you. Can you not be like this, kid? No matter what, I'm a man, I have to be able to take it up and let it go.”
Wang Yifan suddenly burst into tears. Perhaps Ma Xiaochuan's words had an effect on him. "Platoon leader, I can't let go. I really can't let go. I don't know why she said those words to me at the train station. Actually, I really didn't want to contact her. I know that it's immoral. I'm already engaged, but why did it turn out like this? I think I really fell in love with her, and she really loves me, but do you believe in love at first sight? We've only met once, but I still like her and even fall in love with her. I really don't know why? She said she would wait for me. What should I do? If I can't be with her, what about Qi Miao? How am I going to explain this to my family? Platoon leader, what do you think I should do?"
"Wang Yifan, are you a man? Do you still need to say such a thing? If you can take it up, you have to let it go. " We can't be heartless. We owe our family too much in terms of love. How many more people do you want to owe? You love her, so why don't you let her go? Do you really think your relationship is real? It's just one time. Do you really believe in love at first sight? I don't believe it. Perhaps, after a period of time, she will let go and forget about you. At that time, will you still be so desperate for her? I hope you can let go of this matter. Really, brother, we don't really understand love. In this social environment, who can tell us what true love is? How should we cherish it? Giving up appropriately might be the best form of love. Isn't it?"
Hearing Ma Xiaochuan's words, Wang Yifan nodded. Yes, everyone knows that the highest state of love is letting go. If you love her, let her go, so that others can love her well. Maybe one day, when we meet again, you already have someone who loves you, and I will hold her hand and take responsibility.
"Don't worry, platoon leader. I think I know what I should do. You will see Wang Yifan on the training ground tomorrow.”
