Half an hour later…
Li Xiang led the cooks and prepared to leave…
However, just as everyone walked to the door, Yan Poyue stopped in his tracks. He looked at Tan Tan, who was lying on the hospital bed. His eyes were filled with a complicated expression.
From the moment they arrived at the ward, Yan Poyue's face was filled with worries. He didn't speak to Tan Tan. Now that he had stopped, it was obvious that he had something to say to Tan Tan alone.
Tan Tan knew what Yan Poyue wanted to do when he saw Yan Poyue's expression. So, he smiled and said to Li Xiang and the others,""Company commander, class monitor, you guys go out first. I have something to talk to Yan Poyue about.”
Li Xiang and the others nodded their heads when they heard Tan Tan's words. Then, they walked out and closed the door of the ward.
Only the two of them were left in the room…
Tan Tan looked at Yan Poyue and asked with a smile,""Do you have something to ask me?”
Yan Poyue opened his mouth and finally said seriously,"What kind of person do you think I am?”
Hearing Yan Poyue's words, Tan Tan smiled and said,""Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
"The truth!" Yan Poyue frowned.
Tan Tan smiled and said," The truth is that they are selfish, have low IQ, are arrogant, and like to dig into a dead end. They are unqualified soldiers…"
Yan Poyue's expression turned ugly when he heard Tan Tan's words. Although he had already mentally prepared himself, Tan Tan's words still made him unable to help but want to refute,""I admit that I'm selfish and arrogant, but what right do you have to call me an unqualified warrior? I ranked second in the entire regiment in the military comprehensive assessment!”
"Do you think a person's military qualities can be used to judge whether a person is a true warrior?”
Tan Tan asked.
Yan Poyue opened his mouth.
The smile on Tan Tan's face gradually disappeared when he saw Yan Poyue's expression. He turned serious, and his voice became somewhat cold,""Lu Xiaotian's physical fitness can't compare to most recruits, but I think he's stronger than you because he knows what it means to share hardships, what it means to be a comrade, and what it means to be a team spirit!”
"Decades ago, how many of our fathers and grandfathers had military qualities comparable to those invaders? However, we won the war and defeated the strongest country at that time. We taught the five permanent members of the world a lesson. What did we rely on? Was it personal military qualities? Tell me what we are relying on!”
"We rely on team spirit! They relied on obeying orders! He relied on the spirit of believing in his comrades, believing in his motherland, and not abandoning or giving up!”
"Definitely not individual heroism!"
Tan Tan said sternly.
Yan Poyue's expression changed…His initial unwillingness turned into a daze, and then into contemplation…
Tan Tan did not say anything else when he saw Yan Poyue's expression…
There were some words that should be stopped. Whether Yan Poyue could listen to them and change his shortcomings depended on himself…
"Alright, I've said what I need to say. If there's nothing else, you can go back…"
Tan Tan waved his hand and said.
Yan Poyue nodded, turned around, and was about to leave. However, Tan Tan's voice came from behind him again,""Remember, individual strength is not strength, collective strength is strength!”
Yan Poyue opened his mouth and left the ward after a final grunt.
After Yan Poyue left, Tan Tan couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
Not long after…
The door opened again, and Ai Qianxue walked in with fruits in her hands.
She placed the fruits on the table beside the bed, then picked up an orange and peeled it with her hands…He handed it to Tan Tan after peeling it.
Tan Tan smiled bitterly as he looked at the orange that was handed to him."Staff Officer Ai…Do you think I can hold an orange with my hands?”
Ai Qianxue was stunned for a moment. Then, her face turned red. Then, she peeled off a petal and handed it to Tan Tan's mouth…
Tan Tan ate the orange that Ai Qianxue handed over. Then, she thought of something and asked with an ugly expression,""Have you washed your hands?"
Ai Qianxue couldn't help but burst out laughing. Then, she said with a cold face,""I didn't wash…"
Tan Tan was speechless.
...............
A week later…
The entire regiment held a commendation ceremony for the rescue work of the tunnel collapse incident!
Liu Chuanming: " The Youth League Committee and the higher-ups have decided to award the Secret Service Company's soldiers, Fan Jin, Guo Kui, Lu Xiaotian, and Yan Poyue, with a collective third-class merit!”
Pa, pa, pa!
Applause sounded…
Immediately after, Liu Chuanming read out again," Tan Tan, a soldier of the Secret Service Company, will be awarded a second-class merit. Tan Tan's deeds and spirit will be a model for the entire regiment to learn from. Tan Tan will be awarded the title of individual advanced model soldier, the entire regiment's individual advanced model soldier, and the title of outstanding soldier in the Min War Zone!”
Pa, pa, pa...
Applause sounded again…
Soon, the commendation ended…Each company brought back…
On the side of the secret service kitchen, Yan Poyue was cutting onions with a knife…
Tan Tan's words from a few days ago were still echoing in his mind. At this time, he had already realized something wrong.
"Yan Poyue, the company commander is calling you."
Fan Jin's voice rang out.
After hearing the voice, Yan Poyue turned around and walked into the distance.
Five minutes later…In the company commander's office, Yan Poyue stood opposite Li Xiang.
Li Xiang looked at Yan Poyue and said," The last time I went to visit Tan Tan, Tan Tan told you before he left. Have you thought it through?"”
Yan Poyue was silent for two seconds, then nodded and said,""Captain, I have realized the problem with my body.”
Hearing Yan Poyue's words, Li Xiang nodded and said,""It's good that you're aware of it. There's still a month before the new year. After the new year, you'll be dismissed from the combat class.”
Yan Poyue smiled and said,""Yes, sir!"
"Okay, go ahead."
Yan Poyue left the office…
Behind him, Li Xiang looked at Yan Poyue's departing figure and frowned slightly…
Did this kid really understand?
