"Hehe, Junwu, you're tanned! You've also lost weight." Teacher Li stood up and looked at Jun Wu's expression. Then, she sized up his figure and smiled. Then, she asked,"Junwu, didn't you want to be a soldier? Did the township armed forces department inform you about the physical examination?”
"No…no!" Jun Wu immediately told him about how he was eliminated in the morning.
"Oh! "This situation…" Teacher Li seemed to be a little surprised. She took out her phone and made a call."Hello, is this Officer Wang from the Conscription Office? I'm Li Fengqin from the county high school. The student I recommended to you has been eliminated. What should I do?”
"Why were you eliminated?" Asked on the phone
"He said he wasn't tall enough." Teacher Li replied.
"How tall is he?" He asked again on the phone.
"He's of medium height and very handsome. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the artistic backbone of the performance team.”
"Yes, average. It was possible. As long as he was not crippled or defeated. It didn't matter if he was a little short.”The voice on the phone was very clear.
What? So Teacher Li had come because of his military service?
Junwu heard Officer Wang say something else to Teacher Li.
After hanging up, Teacher Li smiled and told Jun Wu,"Junwu, it's fine if you're eliminated. If you go to the village to look for the big black Company Commander Zhang, tell him that Officer Wang from the Regiment Political Department wants you to look for him. He will allow you to participate in the physical examination.”
"Teacher Li, thank you for your concern!”Jun Wu sincerely expressed his gratitude and then asked,"Teacher Li, how do you know these conscripters in the army?”
"They took the initiative to look for me." Then, Teacher Li told him what had happened. It turned out that Officer Wang from the political department was the cultural officer of the political department. According to the instructions of the chief, the performance team in the regiment needed to replenish the new strength. This way, when recruiting soldiers, they needed to recruit people with literary and artistic specialties.
After arriving in the county, Officer Wang first chose a few cultural centers and professional troupes in the county, but they were too old and not ideal. He heard that the county high school's art team was very famous, so he went to Teacher Li and asked her to recommend art talents. Teacher Li recommended military martial arts.
"I thought there was no chance! I didn't expect to meet a benefactor like you, Teacher Li. This was really a silver lining!”When Jun Wu heard what had happened, he could not help but sigh with emotion.
"Quick, go to the village to buy vegetables and meat. Cooking for Teacher Li. "Ask Zhang Lian 'er to come over later to accompany Teacher Li…" Junwu's parents were extremely grateful when they heard Teacher Li's words. They instructed Junwu to arrange for Teacher Li to be entertained.
"Uncle, Auntie, don't be so polite. I still have to rush back before lunch. I have classes at the cultural center in the afternoon. We can't delay it." Teacher Li said and left.
Jun Wu's family repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but they could not resist Teacher Li's impatience in class. No matter what, she refused to eat here. Jun Wu knew that Teacher Li's second job was to " earn extra money " by teaching at the cultural center, so he did not dare to delay.
She had no choice but to ask her brother to rent the only car in the village and send Teacher Li back to the county town. Before she got into the car, she felt that it would be impolite not to give her a gift. There were no seasonal vegetables and fruits in the countryside in winter.
His parents were scratching their ears and cheeks anxiously when his sister-in-law delivered a bamboo basket of peanuts and dates to show respect to his parents-in-law. When her mother saw that it was a rare item in the countryside, she casually gave it to Teacher Li and felt a little more at ease.
After dinner, Jun Wu did not tell the village militia company commander, let alone Secretary Zhang. He rode his bicycle alone to the township armed forces department. When he got there, he saw, ah! Incredible! The small office was already filled with people.
At a glance, these people were all of middle to lower height. If nothing unexpected happened, they must have been eliminated by visual inspection and came here to look for Company Commander Zhang to grind their teeth and act shamelessly!
One of them was an old man with a head full of white hair. His face was covered with military medals. Beside him stood a short young man who was probably his grandson. He saw that he had been eliminated, so he personally came to plead for mercy on behalf of the old hero.
With the trump card that Teacher Li had mentioned, Officer Wang, Junwu did not stand on ceremony. He pushed aside the crowd in front of him and went straight to Company Commander Zhang.
"Hehe, you're also here to plead for mercy because you're unwilling to be eliminated, right?”Company Commander Zhang looked at his size and guessed the situation.
"Company Commander Zhang, Officer Wang of the County Conscription Office asked me to come and find you.”Jun Wu said bluntly.
"Officer Wang? Which Officer Wang?" Company Commander Zhang didn't react in time.
"It's Officer Wang from the Political Department of your regiment.”Jun Wu decided to make things clear.
" Oh…" Company Commander Zhang heard the words 'Political Department', took out a small notebook from his pocket, flipped through a few pages, and then asked Jun Wu,""You're from the county high school's performance team. Your name is Junwu. Isn't that right?"
"Yes." Jun Wu nodded, feeling that there was a chance.
"I heard that you sing very well." Company Commander Zhang stared at Jun Wu and asked.
"It's just so-so!" Jun Wu replied humbly.
"How about you sing a song for us here?”Company Commander Zhang had the intention of conducting an on-the-spot assessment.
"Of course you can." Jun Wu felt that at this moment, he could not hesitate, and he could not be shy. Therefore, he took a step back and stood up straight. Then, he took a T-step, found the correct musical scale, and began to sing. Then, his hands followed suit and performed the accompaniment.
To be honest, I miss home too
The old mother at home is already full of white hair
To be honest, I also have love
I often miss her in my dreams, her in my dreams
Come, come, come, come. Since you're here to be a soldier
Come, come, come. It's a big responsibility
You don't carry a gun, I don't carry a gun
Who will protect our mother? Who would protect her? Who would protect her?
Jun Wu's voice was naturally round and resonant. With his solemn performance, the small room was instantly filled with singing, and the buzzing voices in the room suddenly disappeared.
The people who came to plead for mercy were stunned by the singing. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaoqiu, the secretary of the armed forces, was a man who had seen the world. He brought a pot of water into the house. When he saw Jun Wu singing, he immediately put the pot on the table and quietly stood aside to enjoy it.
When he sang the first verse, he led the applause and said loudly,"Junwu, you're good! Everyone else came to bask in the sun, but you came with a loud voice! Mm, not bad. There shouldn't be a problem with being an artistic soldier, right? Company Commander Zhang…"
Company Commander Zhang didn't answer Zhang Xiaoqiu's question. He just smiled at Jun Wuyao and said in his heart," This kid's singing was really interesting…
The militia company commander had verbally informed them about the physical examination. In the village committee office, several other tall villagers were very surprised that Junwu, who had been eliminated by visual inspection, could participate in the official physical examination. They kept asking the militia company commander this and that, as if they wanted to get the topic of Junwu's relationship and backdoor connections.
The militia commander ignored their questions. After asking too many questions, he shouted at them,"Observing the physical examination is a requirement of the revolution and the construction of the army. What can you do? Not to mention Junwu, who was of average height, even Erdun Zi, who was raised by the village floating courtyard, had to participate in the official physical examination!
What was that? Erdun Zi also participated in the official physical examination? This time, it was Jun Wu's turn to be surprised." Erdunzi was a well-known little troublemaker in the township. He didn't have any special skills, so how could he be taken care of and enter the team for the official physical examination? Could it be that the leader of the township government really came forward to plead for mercy and change the place for this orphan to eat?
In Jun Wu's mind, the army should be an environment filled with iron and steel. How did it become a floating courtyard for people like Er Dun Zi? Thinking of this, Jun Wu could not help but feel a trace of inexplicable disappointment in his heart.
In fact, the militia company commander did not have much to say when he called them to the village committee office. He only informed them of the departure method, time and location of the medical examination to the county hospital.
There were a total of 126 people who passed the visual inspection in the township. The township armed forces department required the militia company commanders of the villages to lead the team and arrive at the out-patient department hall of the county hospital at nine o'clock in the morning. The means of transportation were provided by the villages themselves.
There was a bus from the village to the county town. The township armed forces department had originally booked this bus for the medical examination personnel. However, in order to show their concern for the medical personnel, many village officials rented their own cars to send them off.
Junzhuang was a village with relatively good economic conditions. Seeing that the other village officials had taken the initiative, Secretary Zhang did not show weakness. He rented the only car in his village. This way, the few people who were undergoing the physical examination did not have to squeeze on the bus.
After the meeting, the few of them were about to leave when the militia company commander suddenly asked General Wu,""You should talk to Secretary Zhang about your matter!”
"Doesn't he already know about this?”Jun Wu felt that there was no need for that.
"He knows, but he got the news from the township armed forces. You…haven't officially reported to him yet!”The militia commander emphasized,"Secretary Zhang is very concerned about your military service. You can't just leave like that.”
"Oh, I see. That's true." Jun Wu nodded at first, but then he remembered that he was only participating in a physical examination. Could he pass? It was hard to say. If he couldn't pass and was eliminated, what would he have told Secretary Zhang earlier? It was better to wait until he passed the physical examination and had a chance to leave before reporting officially.
"If you wait until then, you'll be rude!”The militia commander disagreed with Junwu's thoughts." Secretary Zhang is old. It doesn't matter if you tell him or not. However, Lian 'er has a lot on her mind about you! Now, if you don't tell her about some problems, what if the two of them misunderstand in the future?”
"What misunderstanding? Sister Lian 'er won't think too much about it." Hearing the militia company commander talk about his relationship with Lian 'er, Jun Wu immediately avoided it. Neither of them had thought of this. Why did others worry about him?
