It turned out that Li Xiuling was from Wantuo, West of Fanggezhuang Town. He had a square face, big eyes, black hair, and was tall and dignified. She was one of the older girls in the class. He only cared about his studies, spoke little, and was steady and generous. After graduating from No. 3 Middle School, she was admitted to the Shijiazhuang textile industry school. Less than half a year later, she dropped out of school because of her marriage. Her husband, Cui Tingyun, was also from Fanggezhuang and worked as a military doctor in Lushun Speedboat Brigade. She came to Lushun as a family member of the army. As the saying goes," When a fellow countryman sees a fellow countryman, his eyes will be filled with tears." Seeing her fellow countrymen and classmates from thousands of miles away, Ah Hui felt very cordial. Every Sunday, Ah Hui wanted to find them to stay and chat about the news of her hometown. The couple was very happy and enthusiastic. Once, it was also a Sunday. Ah Hui went to their house at night. The man was at home, and Li Xiuling went to the club to watch a movie. The man said that he would go and look for her. The club was not far away. After Li Xiuling came back, the three villagers were talking in the house. They talked a lot about this and that. When Ah Hui got up to leave, Li Xiuling's husband said to her," Are you still going to watch?"
She said," What are you still looking at? Let's go."
Ah Hui was walking on the way back. She thought to herself,'It's not a good time to come this time. I've delayed the movie.' He couldn't go anywhere he wanted in the future. He should contact them first and see if it was convenient for him. It would not be good if he did not contact her and left rashly, affecting her. It was really 'no experience, no wisdom'.
One morning, Ah Hui was engrossed in reading when the squadron leader pushed open the door and came in with a kettle in his hand. She said,"Secretary, go get a pot of water." Ah Hui fetched some water and sent it to the room next door. He pushed open the door and saw the instructor, the squadron leader, talking to the military affairs director, Yao Dongchu. Ah Hui placed the kettle on the table and turned to leave the room. Division Chief Yao said," How is it, this little secretary?”
" It's alright. I'm well-educated enough. It's pretty fast to write some materials, but..." the instructor said.
"But what?"
"He's been reading all day and doesn't come out. Nothing would happen if he didn't know what to do. Like this time, when she fetched water, she left as soon as she put down the kettle. Give it to me…"
" He's also a child from the countryside. He hasn't seen the world. There are some things that you can tell him. He'll get used to it," Division Chief Yao said slowly. He also said," I picked the best ones for you. Otherwise, I'll let him get some training on the warship and send someone else over."
"Anything is fine. If there is someone, just give us one. If there isn't, just like you said, we can talk to him and give him some pointers. Overall, the young man is not bad."
That was what she said, but two days later, Ah Hui was reading in her office when the instructor pushed open the door and came in. Tell Ah Hui that there's a change in your work. Pack your things in the morning and report to the military affairs office at two in the afternoon. The army was like that. It was the duty of a soldier to obey orders. There was no need to ask why he was transferred and where he was transferred. Anyway, he was a soldier wherever he went. In the afternoon, Ah Hui reported to the military affairs office on time. At the same time, there were three other people. They were comrades from other squadrons. The division chief said that our training regiment trains marines and has decided to assign you to a warship. Someone would come to pick him up later. You're going to be real marines.
Around three or four o'clock, an officer from a warship arrived. He brought four recruits to the dock of the Donggang Speedboat Division and pointed to a warship on the other side. The warship on the other side is frigate No. 50, which is ours. Wait for a while, a small boat will pick us up." Ah Hui looked in the direction that the officer was pointing at. On the high mast of the No. 50 warship, the military flag was fluttering. In the middle, front and back, there were many cannons with their barrels raised. A colossus, so awe-inspiring! Ah Hui was in a daze. He thought back to the many times he had sat by the beach at the Southern Mountain Bathing Beach and looked at the sea. In the sea, there were warships returning from long voyages, and there were also warships cruising away. The sailors stood on the deck, their shawls fluttering in the wind. How mighty and heroic! How envious. When would he be like them? At this moment, the warship was right in front of her. Ah Hui was very excited. He thought to himself,"It's good that the squadron's documents are not suitable." After a while, a white yacht came over, and the officer brought a few soldiers on board. The small boat roared as it approached frigate No. 50. There were already some seasoned soldiers waiting for them. The veterans took the backpacks and pulled them onto the ship.
Political commissar Jiang Yongfang received them immediately. His room on the warship was not big. On the wall hung a portrait of Mao's head. Beside it was a quote from Leader Mao," We must build a strong navy." It was written in his own handwriting. He was wearing a navy uniform, and the captain's rank on the collar was shining. He was twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with black hair and a fair face. He was very handsome. He was sitting on a chair. When he saw the new recruits enter, he stood up and said," Welcome, welcome. Sit, sit." He smiled. After the recruits sat down, the political commissar asked for their names. Then he said," You are very welcome. From now on, we will live and fight on this ship together." Then, the political commissar introduced the history of the ship and its mission of protecting the fishing industry. "Our ship is an old ship, but we are still the main battleship of the Chinese Navy and bear important combat missions. She hoped that her comrades would love her, study hard, work hard, and strive to be a good soldier and good sailor.”
Ah Hui listened very seriously. This Political Commissar Jiang spoke loudly and clearly, his language simple and vivid. He was also so young and handsome. It was really admirable!
Dinner was Ah Hui's first meal on the ship. There were more than 30 dishes on a long table in the back of the warehouse. The long dining table was filled with all kinds of plates, fish, eggs, delicacies, and all kinds of dishes. It was the first time Ah Hui had seen such a scene. She could only smell the alluring fragrance and was tempted to eat, but she could not name a dish. There were all kinds of alcohol, mainly white wine and beer. The marines stood around the table. The class monitor stood at the end of the table, his face red. He raised his bowl with a smile."Come, come, brothers. To send off our old comrades and welcome our new comrades, let's toast!”He was the first to raise his wine bowl high. Everyone raised their bowls at the same time and watched the class monitor gulp it down in one gulp. They also drank it up in one gulp. The old class monitor happily said," Good, good, that's very kind of you. Let's fill it up again." The toot sound of wine pouring came from the table again. Ah Hui also picked up her bowl, but the food standards of the training group were low and they did not drink. During the Spring Festival, he drank a bottle of beer at Nanshan Hill and almost got drunk. At this moment, he held the bowl and did not dare to drink. A bearded veteran came over, raised his bowl and said,"Come, come, young man. Cheers!"
"I, I can't, I don't know how to drink."
"Aiya, what's so difficult about drinking? It'll dry in a week. Come, come!”
Squad Leader Yan came over with a full bowl of wine. "Come on, Ah Hui. Squad Leader Beard is the most senior squad leader on our ship. He's also the first generation of marines on the ship and has dealt with the Soviet marines before. He's especially happy that you're on the ship! How can you not drink this wine? Come, I can't drink anymore. I'll take it. "Forget about beer, even 1059 has to be drunk." The old class monitor raised the bowl and stared at Ah Hui with red eyes.
Ah Hui was speechless. The actions of the two veterans moved him. He raised the bowl to his mouth and the bearded squad leader was pleased and said,"Come on, boy, touch it!"
The three bowls made a crisp sound when they touched each other. The two bowls were empty. Ah Hui opened her mouth wide, but she couldn't swallow it. Seeing that they weren't paying attention, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and vomited. The bearded squad leader said," It's alright. The rest is still yours. It's a two-way split."
Ah Hui finished the wine in her bowl with difficulty. The two class monitors were satisfied. The bearded squad leader said," That's more like it, young man. Work hard and be a promising marine. Don't be like me."
