When the plot that he had seen happened in front of his eyes, he could not suppress his curiosity and propped himself up to look.
Li Lihe took off his steel helmet, Luo Che, and the others, put them aside, and took his gun. He planned to go over and greet Xu Sanduo. After all, they were all from the same batch of recruits and knew each other. It was always good to catch up.
"Hey! Xu Sanduo, do you still remember me?" Lee Hehe shouted as he walked toward them.
When Xu Sanduo heard someone calling his name, he subconsciously turned around and thought that it was someone else in the class. However, when he turned around, he realized that there was no one behind him. Then, he looked in the direction of the voice.
Li He also knew that Xu Sanduo's reaction speed was relatively slow. Although he was speechless, he still smiled and said,""Do you still remember me? I came in the same batch as you."
Old Ma looked at Li He and asked,""Do you know Sanduo? Are you here to meet your former friend?"
Xu Sanduo finally reacted,"Yes, the squad leader and I are both soldiers of the same batch of recruits."”
Ever since he arrived, Xu Sanduo realized that he had not been very welcomed by the other veterans in the class. Every day, only the class monitor could talk to him. Now that he had seen an acquaintance for a long time, he could not help but feel a little excited.
After Xu Sanduo finished introducing him to Old Ma, Li He immediately saluted Old Ma.
Li He admired this third-term sergeant who had been a class monitor for so long. It was not only because he had brought up many outstanding soldiers, but also because of Old Ma's love for the army.
Li He had a particularly deep memory of the day Old Ma retired from the army. He said to He Hongtao, the instructor of Third Company at the regiment gate,"I don't want to leave. I don't even know what I'll look like if I take off this military uniform.”
Although he didn't really understand Old Ma's feelings for the army, it didn't stop him from admiring Old Ma.
Old Ma returned a standard military salute." Li He, you're from the Artillery Company, right? Which company?"
"Eh? Class monitor, how did you know?”
"Do you even need to ask? The military shovel hanging on the side of your backpack says it all. Only the frontline soldiers in the 702nd Regiment would carry such a special shovel with them.”
Old Ma pointed at the military shovel hanging on his backpack and said with a smile.
"Squad Leader Ma, you have good eyes. I'm from the battalion's limited squad.”
"Battalion? Your class monitor is Little He, right?"
When Old Ma heard that Li He was from the Artillery Battalion, he was obviously interested.
"Yes, our class monitor's surname is He.”
"That's right. I even taught him for a period of time when he was a recruit.”
"…Hmm?"
Only then did Li He realize that Old He was also a soldier led by Old Ma.
But thinking about it carefully, it did seem like that was the case. When Li He first started his physical training, he was not used to it. He was running on multiple tracks with a few sets on his back. When he felt that it was too much, he deliberately slowed down and wanted to slack off.
After the training that day, Uncle Ho called him over. He did not criticize him, but said," You're wasting your time now, but you'll be wasting your time in the future."”
At that time, Li He felt that these words were a little familiar. He seemed to have seen Old Ma say it in the TV series. He was puzzled. Why did it become Old He saying it now?
Old He was a soldier led by Old Ma. Old Ma must have told him this so that he could remember it. Old Ma must have used this to educate the soldiers who wanted to dawdle.
Ever since that day, every time Li He thought of this sentence, he felt that he was still too lazy. If he really wanted to experience military life, he should do his job well and strive for perfection. Even if he didn't join Old A, he should be a qualified soldier.
From then on, he began to focus on physical training. Although he was very tired and occasionally complained, he never slacked off again.
With this relationship between the two of them, Li He and Old Ma became more open. The three of them chatted with each other, and the atmosphere gradually improved.
When Old Ma asked Li He why he didn't go back to report immediately, Li He said that the class monitor had gone to visit the village. He had just finished running ten kilometers, so it was still not too late to rest and go back. Old Ma laughed even more and said that he hadn't changed at all. He was still craving the rice wine brewed in the village.
Then, under Old Ma's invitation, Li He followed Xu Sanduo into the barracks of Class 5. This was the first time he had personally seen the living environment of Class 5.
Old Ma had just lifted the curtain when he saw Xue Lin, Li Meng, and Old Wei huddled together, smoking and playing cards. The room was filled with smoke.
In fact, Li He himself could be considered a heavy drinker, but in this strong smell, he couldn't help but cough a few times.
Old Ma's smile stiffened when he saw the environment." Hehehe, I'm sorry, Li. I didn't have time to clean up the classroom. It looks a little messy, but there's nothing much to do here. I can only play cards to kill time.”
"It's okay, class monitor. I understand.”
Li He had been a soldier for some time, so he was very clear about the organization of the regiment. There would always be a few soldiers who liked to slack off in every company, and the artillery company was no exception.
Li He had interacted with some of them before. From their words, he could tell that they wanted to go to the fifth squad of the Third Red Company the most. Other than that, they wanted to go to the small bus squad of the breeding farm and the regiment.
The small car squad was a part of the driver squad, which was specially for the leaders to drive. However, the military transport vehicles were generally large, and these small cars were small cars, off-road vehicles, SUVs, etc., which were also called the small car squad.
Li He had once curiously asked them why they wanted to go to Prairie Class 5. Although their answers were different, the content was roughly the same. Those small and distant units would definitely be avoided by those who wanted to improve, but for people like them who only wanted to laze around and wait for retirement, these places were simply holy places in their hearts.
Those units that were small and far away were usually those that were small in scale and far from the military compound. In other words, because of their characteristics, very few leaders and inspectors went over.
The people from the military affairs department usually found these places far away and were too lazy to go. The small train often dealt with the leaders, so the people from the military affairs department did not want to find them. Who knew if they would get into trouble for no reason.
Therefore, the soldiers in these places did not have to worry about inspection, no regular meetings to tidy up the house, and no one would care if they did not follow the work and rest schedule.
For example, Prairie Squad Five didn't mind even if they didn't fold their blankets and threw them on the bed. They didn't have to tidy up their house if they didn't want to. They only played and slept every day, and no one would check on them. This was simply heaven for those soldiers who couldn't endure hardship.
