Sunday was the soldiers 'holiday. After five or six days of study and training, they had a break. Some washed clothes, some went out to play or buy things, some played chess, read novels, and some chatted together. It was a rare day of relaxation.
Ah Hui and Bing Liancheng sat on a pile of logs behind the house, chatting idly. Bing Lian Cheng said:
"You're already in high school. Why are you still a soldier?”
"It's a long story! Great Leap Forward, I'm always working, but I'm not happy. I became a soldier when I got hot in the head." Ah Hui said slowly.
"If he didn't come, he would be in his third year of high school this year, right?”
"It's nothing."
"You're going to college next year. With your brain, you can get into any university. "But now, the new boat hasn't been built yet. What's the point of learning? It's really useless."
"Don't say that. We're all ordinary people, not heroes. "In the past few years, after leaving school, I really didn't improve in terms of cultural knowledge. I self-studied and read some books, but I didn't learn much."
"Do you regret it?"
" No, since we're already out, what's the use of regretting? We can only move forward on today's path."
" You're more open-minded. However, what happens in the future depends on your own fate." After a pause, Bing Liancheng continued," You must know Guo Shouyi?”
The class monitor of our training group and I'm pretty good friends. How could I not know?"
"He, he's in a military school, a military academy. He was recommended by the army last year. Any unit can recommend people, but who's going to manage our boat? According to the conditions, who can compare to you among high school students? However, the captains only cared about work, learning, and receiving ships. Who cared about the future of the soldiers? His attitude towards everyone was also very different and unfair. Take you for example. No one can compare to you in technical studies. You were the one who carved the artillery teaching materials word by word. Each person has a book, but when did the captains praise you? It's always Liu Ruchen who's the best. The old impression is really hard to accept."
Ah Hui was an honest and down-to-earth person. He only knew how to work honestly and work hard to complete the things within his scope of responsibility. Whether they did well or badly, it was up to the leaders to see. The captain, coxswain, and sergeant had eyes. They would be fair. He had never thought about the fairness of the leaders. After hearing Bing Lian Cheng's words, he felt that there was a problem: The eyes of the leaders were not necessarily so fair, nor were they always so clear. They could not do it themselves, but the most important thing was to learn how to do it. He looked at Bing Liancheng. His eyes were looking at the sea at the harbor. A seagull was flying on the water. Ah Hui admired Bing Liancheng very much. He was a recruit squad leader in the training regiment, just like Guo Shouyi. He was much more mature in politics than her! In his work, he was not only serious, active, and stupid, but also good at thinking about people's psychology and relationships. Therefore, he had a good relationship with his comrades on the boat and was very popular. However, he also had a problem. When he was sitting in a meeting to study, he liked to doze off. Probably because of this, the sergeant major and the captain did not have a good impression of him. He was also helpless about his own problems.
"Then, what do you think we should do?" Ah Hui turned her head and stared at Bing Liancheng.
"What should we do? How many times do you talk to the leaders?”
"What leader? Captain, sergeant major, or squad leader?”
Squad leader doesn't count. Captain, Sergeant Major."
No one looked for him, and they didn't look for me either."
"This is the difference between us. Look at Liu Ruchen. He often goes to the captain's room to let the leader understand him. If you didn't dare to interact with the leaders, how could you let the leaders understand you? Actually, there's a gap between us! You're just inferior to others!"
Ah Hui listened and nodded, indicating that she agreed with him. At this moment, the class monitor Zhang Wenru came out of the house and saw Bing Liancheng and Ah Hui sitting on a pile of wood. He said,"
You two know how to find a place. It's cool and bright here."
" Come, class monitor. Come and sit for a while. I have something to talk to you about," Bing Liancheng said.
" I'm old and I'm going home soon. Why are you chatting with me? I suggest you two talk to Sergeant Major and Liu Ruchen more."
"As long as the class monitor is here, he is also our class monitor. We are willing to listen to his opinions. "Besides, although your military service period is up, you're not too old. It's not too late to leave after two years. You might still be able to get promoted," Ah Hui said as she looked at the sea.
Sigh, you guys don't know, but my parents are old, and my younger siblings are still young. They need me to go back. Besides, I'm uneducated, so what can I do?"You are all cultured, so you have to work hard. Other than business, you also have to pay attention to building good relationships. It's important to work hard, but sometimes, it's more important to build a reputation than to work hard. I'm bad at this. In terms of hard work, he was not necessarily worse than others. It was just that he was not good at relationships and was very stubborn, which was why he became like this. Some of them are quite popular when they mention it. They don't recognize a few more words than me. They just have brains and are very tactful in handling matters. He would never be able to learn from her. You must be careful because you are cultured and have a bright future. You are different from me."
Bing Lian Cheng and Ah Hui listened to the old class monitor's words silently, very touched. Bing Liancheng said: " Thank you for saying these words to us, class monitor. We are willing to let class monitor work harder and strive to be promoted. He will always be our leader. Even if class monitor really leaves, we will never forget class monitor's words."
The old class monitor's words were very enlightening to Ah Hui. He often recalled the words of the old class monitor. The class monitor said that he would look for the sergeant major and Liu Ruchen to have a heart-to-heart talk and communicate with them. What did he mean? Could it be that the class monitor had some information that Liu Ruchen would become the class monitor after he left? Or was he the only one who thought so?
Liu Ruchen's ancestral home was in Shandong. His grandfather came to Fengcheng County, Liaoning. Captain Li Zuoan, Sergeant Guan Hemin, and Mechanic Sergeant Wang Xueen were all from Shandong. " A fellow countryman seeing a fellow countryman, tears welling up in my eyes." It was understandable that the leaders favored Liu Ruchen a little. Sun Dechun, the ex-cannoneer, also took advantage of this. He was from Penglai County, Shandong Province. This was something that couldn't be compared. However, Liu Ruchen was educated in primary school, so his brain was not very good. When he was studying, they would ask each other questions. Bing Liancheng and Ah Hui would often ask him some complicated and difficult questions, but he couldn't answer them. Then he would ask Ah Hui or Bing Liancheng, and they would answer them fluently, which made Liu Ruchen very embarrassed. I bumped my head on the boat during training two years ago and got a concussion. I can't remember anything." It could be considered a work-related injury, and he was free from it.
However, Liu Ruchen realized that no matter how good the sergeant captain was to him, his comrades Bing Liancheng and Ah Hui were not easy to deal with. They were highly educated and accepted new things quickly. They were stronger than him in all aspects. When interacting with them, regardless of whether he would become the class monitor in the future, he had to be careful.
