On the green-skinned train heading north, Lin Ming was mobilizing a group of recruits.
Not far from where the train passed, on the campus of Handong University's Department of Political Science and Law.
Qi Tongwei's classmate, Lin Ying, who had been transferred to the nearby campus because of work, was strolling leisurely around the former university campus.
She used to be a secretary in her university class and was also an outgoing girl.
Returning to the city where she had not lived for four years, she suddenly missed her old classmates.
As a doer, she walked to the public phone booth in the school and began to call her old classmates one by one.
The first person she contacted was Qi Tongwei, the president of the Student Union of the Department of Political Science and Law.
She dialed Qi Tongwei's number according to the number recorded in the phone book in her bag.
After she hung up, she continued to call the other students.
After receiving a few calls back, Qi Tongwei did not reply.
"That's strange. Why didn't the president of the student union return my calls?”
When the two of them were in school, they often had school matters to discuss, so their relationship was quite good.
That was why she felt that something was wrong when Qi Tongwei did not return her call after such a long time.
Thus, the secretary began to flip through her notebook again. Finally, after flipping through five or six pages, she found a familiar name.
In their previous student union, there were many people who were friends with Qi Tongwei. The phone number she found at this time was one of them.
After the phone rang five times, someone picked it up.
"Hello, who is it?"
"It's me, the secretary in Qi Tongwei's class.”
"Oh, oh, it's you. Why are you looking for me?”
"I just called Qi Tongwei and called his Beeper, but he didn't call me back. Do you know what he's been doing recently?”
The people in his class knew that he had received the honor of being a hero, and they also knew that he had resigned after receiving the honor.
No one knew what happened after he resigned.
She could use this opportunity to ask Qi Tongwei's close friends.
"Oh, you mean Qi Tongwei? Didn't he tell you?
He went to enlist in the army. He should have set off by now.”
The secretary did not expect this news. She raised the phone in her hand and froze on the spot.
"Hello, are you still listening?"
"I'm listening, I'm listening. You said he went to sign up for the army?!”
The secretary, who had just recovered, sounded very surprised.
"Yeah, I thought you all knew. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. I still have some things to do here.”
"Okay, thank you. Goodbye."
She had also heard about how Qi Tongwei had embarrassed Teacher Liang Lu in front of the teaching building two months ago.
She had thought that Qi Tongwei was only like this because he was not doing well. She did not expect him to join the army.
"No, I have to tell my classmates about this.”
After graduation, some of his classmates went to the judicial office, some went to do business, some went to teach, but no one went to the army.
And now, the person who went to the army was actually the top student in the school. How could this not be surprising!
The people who were closer to him all rushed to the restaurant that the secretary had told them about before lunch.
Those who were far away did not need to come all the way here. This was the traditional rule of this class gathering.
At this time, more than a dozen people had already arrived at the private room of the restaurant. They had already sat down and drank tea while munching on melon seeds.
On the contrary, the secretary who had called to contact everyone for a gathering was the last one to arrive.
She pushed the door open and entered the room, smiling as she spoke to everyone.
"I'm really sorry. I'm a little late.”
"Alright, the secretary knows what to do.”
"Then she has to punish herself with a glass of wine. She called us here, but she came late herself.”
The atmosphere in the private room was quite good. It wasn't awkward for old classmates to gather and laugh. Moreover, it felt like it had been a long time.
However, the secretary was obviously not prepared to sit down just like that. She walked to the empty seat and stood there to look at everyone.
"There's something I have to tell you.”
The secretary's expression was a little serious, causing everyone to unconsciously sit up straight.
"I heard from Qi Tongwei's friend today that he went to sign up for the army. He might have already arrived at the recruit camp!”
This was like a heavy bomb that was thrown on the originally quiet water surface.
" What?!"
" You went to the army?!"
"Oh my God, why did Old Qi take things so hard? He quit being a police officer and became an ordinary soldier!”
"That's right. You have to work hard to be a soldier. Old Qi isn't someone who makes a living.”
"Moreover, his grades were so good when he was in school. He could have been in the judicial office too. Why did he have to join the army?”
"I heard that Old Qi's incident might have something to do with Teacher Liang.”
At this moment, a person who used to be fond of gossip when he was still in school said to everyone.
"Are you saying that Teacher Liang forced you to do this?”
The incident was related to the students in the class, so everyone had more or less heard about it.
Now that they knew that Qi Tongwei had joined the army, everyone felt that there must be some connection between the two incidents.
Everyone was familiar with Qi Tongwei, so they naturally thought more about Qi Tongwei.
At this moment, all the students felt that it was a pity that this once popular figure in the school had fallen into such a state.
Moreover, Qi Tongwei's decision to join the army was even worse.
"Sigh, I was wondering why I didn't see Old Qi at today's gathering. It's such a pity.”
"I originally thought that he would definitely be the best among us. I didn't expect that fate would play tricks on us.”
"Yeah, well"
……
Qi Tongwei had no way of knowing that his classmates were not optimistic about him.
He had turned off the Beeper this morning.
At this moment, he was in a state where no one could find him, including his fellow villagers far away in his hometown.
In the morning, while waiting for the others to gather, Qi Tongwei saw that most of the people who came were parents who had sent their sons here to grow up.
Some of them were hugging each other and crying.
Qi Tongwei had been standing there alone since the beginning, which attracted Lin Ming's attention.
However, Lin Ming felt that there were some things in everyone's family that he did not want to say, so he did not ask.
