Their military training subjects, basically every day, are pulling out the military posture, walking in unison and walking forward, various queue exercises, and then running circles, simple obstacle runs, crawling, and the most difficult field training in the back.

In addition, it is to write ideological reports, reflect on events, analyze the contradictions and infirmities in the soul of belief, support the central government to express loyalty, and so on."Barracks-playground-canteen" every day at three o'clock and one line, the serious and stable military life, the majestic and loud military songs and slogans, let the restless mind gradually return to calm and focus... It is not bad to practice queues in the camp Well, I fainted one or two every day, carried water bottles to the clinic, and practiced ten kilometers in the mountainous area, it was really fatal!Under the scorching sun, on the mountain roads in the suburban fields, a group of tanned college students marched hard with their bags on their backs. At the beginning, the instructors could still carry slogans and military songs, but after walking a third of the distance, the slogans became hoarse. No one shouted; after walking two miles, the team completely dispersed!From a distance, a row of students looked like a row of loose dung pulled by wild sheep in the field.

Behind the team is a big truck, and the guys who can't climb behind will be loaded and transported away at any time.

Meng Xiaobei was one of the few who kept the formation in the front row, did not fall behind, and completed the whole process, especially for his family members.

He was running with big strides, inadvertently, his sneakers did not keep up with his unrestrained pace, and a sanitary napkin fell out of the shoes.

Meng Xiaobei: "Oh..."

Lin Shuo who was behind almost stepped on it, and when he saw what it was, he jumped away.The introverted man blushed and hadn't touched the sanitary products used by girls.

Instructor Xiao Fang looked back: "Hey mom, who told you to stuff this in your shoes?!"

With a cheeky face, Meng Xiaobei honestly confessed to the instructor: "It was taught by others."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he ran back again, picked up the sanitary napkin, and stuffed it back into the sneakers. It is more important for my feet to be comfortable and decent.

As soon as Meng Xiaobei was admitted, he was directly appointed by their head teacher as a member of the literature and art propaganda committee, and he probably read his file first.During the military training, he went out to lead the boys to sing every day, and sang with the girl opposite him. He was also in charge of the blackboard newspaper, wrote newsletters and doggerel every day, and drew a small blackboard.

Squad leader Xiao Fang led the team, looking for a shady place in the tank camp, finally found one, and saw: "Luo Xiaohu, it's you again, this is the shady place of our squad!"

The class monitor of the girls' class, Instructor Xiao Luo, has a slender melon-seeded face, wears a military cap askew, and smiles: "Fang Chengliang, heh, is your name written here?"

Fang Chengliang: "Isn't it ridiculous to see the girls in your class being lazy and going to the shade!"

Luo Xiaohu: "Only the boys in your class like to bask in the sun, go over there under the eyelids of the company commander, bask in the sun and go forward!!"

Instructor Xiao Fang turned around to greet them, and said in a rough voice: "Let's have a round of military songs and military songs, overwhelm them, our class will eat first today!"

Instructor Xiao Luo sneered, with a weak smile, and shook his head: "Female students! Get rid of the boys in your class! During the military training of recruits, you couldn't subdue the boys in your class, and you will be eaten to death by them in the next four years of college. That's—I'm the one with the most experience!!"

The two phalanx roared hoarsely, one, two, three, four shooting and returning. Our team is like the sun and I am a young white poplar in the barracks.From time to time, Squad Leader Luo hooked his hands to Squad Leader Fang and said, "I'll treat you to a beer tonight"!Squad leader Fang's eyes were reserved and serious under the brim of his hat, and he rolled his eyes coolly.Comrade Luo Xiaohu went up with a smile, hooked his shoulders, put his arms around his comrades and whispered intimately.

Squad leader Fang has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a northern man with strong body and arms: "Hmph, I have been suppressing you since the recruit company, and I have suppressed you all the way for the past three years. What's the matter, why don't you accept it, why don't you accept it?!"

Chief Roban strangled him with his elbow, and said with a crooked smile, "I'm both convinced..."

... After singing in the evening, they went to the cafeteria to have dinner together. They were hungry and cramped after a whole day of practice. Each of the boys could eat four steamed buns as a staple food, and several bowls of vegetables were not enough.

During the meal on the first day, the squad leader Xiao Fang asked, "Are there any Hui students in the class?"

Meng Xiaobei didn't want to say anything at first, he enjoyed having dinner with his classmates, it was so boring to play orders.

However, when he stretched his neck and squinted his eyes to see what was eating at the Hui people's dining table in the distance, Meng Xiaobei stepped out of the queue in one step, and under the threat of all the envious, angry and jealous gazes of all the boys in their class, he frankly rushed towards him. Muslim small dining table.What buddies' loyalty and camaraderie are not as affordable as those pots of beef and mutton!

Wang Yuhui and the others lived the life of the old society. They ate stir-fried minced meat with beans and sauerkraut for a few days. They couldn’t get enough to eat every day. And roast mutton, such huge chunks of beef!"

After eating beef and mutton for several days, coupled with the hard training, Qiuhu became very dry, and pimples grew on Meng Xiaobei's face. The boy was full of anger, and his mouth was a little greasy.

In the evening, I washed my face with cold water and rubbed it on the big bump on my nose. It hurt a lot. When I looked in the mirror, I didn’t look handsome any more. I became dark and thin.

Meng Xiaobei once took advantage of the work of the propaganda committee, and quietly asked the instructor to go through the back door: "Squad leader, I have something to discuss with you, the braised pork ribs and fried garlic sprouts with shredded pork for you to eat in the cafeteria today, you can make a copy for me." , I’ll exchange it with you for roasted mutton!”

Instructor Fang stared at him: "What are you doing? Don't you eat at the Muslim dinner table? We can't get any food!"

Meng Xiaobei said shamelessly, "I haven't eaten big meat for many days, and I'm thinking about it."

Instructor Fang slapped him on the head: "What a mess, you, I punish you to go back to the team and eat a big pot of rice, believe it or not!!"

Meng Xiaobei used every night's rest time to draw sketches and portraits for several instructors, and coaxed several small squad leaders to be happy.Fang Chengliang approved with his eyes, and Luo Xiaohu personally carried out it, and secretly went to the cafeteria to make braised pork for Meng Xiaobing to eat.

The boys of the Academy of Fine Arts are talented, and they also brought stationery and picture clips during military training, sketching in the camp, using guns, cannons and tanks as models, and creating sketches with pencils and pens.Pinggu is rich in large juicy peaches, and most of the peaches that supply Beijing are produced in Pinggu.During the half-day rest on weekends, squad leaders Xiao Fang and Xiao Luo took a few boys in their class to climb trees on the back mountain and steal big peaches to eat... There was a chance to line up to call family members on weekends, and each of them chatted for a few minutes.

Shaotang was away on a business trip, and there was no one at home. Meng Xiaobei called Shaotang for half a minute, saying "miss you", and reported his grandma's safety in one minute, and called Liangliang in the rest of the time.

Meng Xiaobei asked: "Isn't your school's military training in Changping? You went home early?"

Qi Liang said: "I have a sick note, and I came back later! I didn't do much military training at all. I moved a small bench and sat under the shade of a tree every day. Hehe, watch them being trained by others!"

Meng Xiaobei: "Are you sick? What's wrong with you?"

Qi Liang spoke without any shyness: "I have prostatitis, and I still have a sudden acute attack!... When I was exposed to the sun, I was thirsty and dehydrated, and I fell ill. I couldn't urinate, and my penis hurt, and then I went to the infirmary. I made a false note. Later, the teacher thought that I was loitering in the training ground every day. I had such a good time, which affected the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the students in training, so they just let me go!"

Meng Xiaobei couldn't believe it: "My grandfather didn't get prostatitis until he was 60 years old. You are not yet [-]. Liangliang, you already have geriatric diseases!"

Qi Liang asked: "Have you practiced hard?"

Meng Xiaobei nodded: "It's very hard, I lost ten catties, I guess my godfather will not recognize me when he sees me again."

Qi Liang said: "Our caring little Yiyi made me a good soup, nourishing and nourishing my health, I'm going to nourish my kidneys now! Meng Xiaobei, take care of yourself!"

Meng Xiaobei was jealous, and cursed in a low voice on the phone: "You really need to invigorate your kidneys, your kidneys are weak! Go drink your tonic soup!!"

At that time, Meng Xiaobei suddenly missed Shaotang.

Liangliang has great tonic soup to drink.

There is a person with insufficient kidneys here, and the young master has too much kidney fire.

When a person is suffering, it is inevitable to think about the most intimate and important person emotionally, and want a word of encouragement.

Shaotang has acquaintances in every corner of the troops stationed in Beijing. Will Shaotang come to see him? Maybe he won't come... The last two weeks of military training were extremely difficult. Many boys couldn't bear it anymore, and their bodies reacted strongly.Some people convulsed and fainted while standing in a military posture, some had blisters on their feet, and some had a hot cold.All the boys in the class threw themselves on the hard bed at night, sleeping like a row of dead dogs with their buttocks stuck out.In the morning, Squad Leader Xiao Fang came to kick him, but he couldn't wake up. The sound of snoring in the room was like a loud noise in the empty valley, and it shook the sky continuously.

When practicing lying down and crawling on the hillside, Xiaobei's palm trembled because of nerve atrophy in the fingers of his right hand, and he couldn't hold the ground.

When he lies down and then stands up and crawls, his movements are slower than others, and he can't use his right hand to exert force, so he can only use his two elbows to exert force.Out of the corner of his eye, Wang Yuhui, Lin Shuo and the others gradually overtook him and climbed to the front...Meng Xiaobei was the last one to climb to the finish line, his elbow in the camouflage uniform was worn out, and a piece of skin inside was rubbed off.But he didn't ask for sick leave, didn't make a report and quit, and he couldn't embarrass our family, so he wanted to live up to it.

They were shooting on the shooting range. A row of boys lay down and set up their rifles to aim at the target.The moment he pulled the trigger, the butt of the gun hit his shoulder with a strong recoil, and the barrel of the gun bumped violently, making Meng Xiaobei's ten fingers feel like they were being torn violently, causing pain!

A shuttle shot out, a cloud of dust was raised on the target, eating a mouthful of dirt!There is the sound of guns and guns in my ears, as if I am in the smoke of war.

When he didn't participate in the military training, Meng Xiaobei couldn't appreciate the hardships of Shaotang and the others as soldiers these years.Every time he went back to the Xishan compound to "visit relatives", it was like visiting the Grand View Garden for fun.In his eyes, the image of Shaotang is tall, mighty, brilliant, unrestrained and easy on the training ground, a tough guy who doesn't know what pain is, an iron man.The [-] or so soldiers under Shaotang, with heroic and childish faces, jumped down from the seven or eight-story platform by pulling the thick sling rope on their wrists, and climbed over the high wall obstacles with their bare hands, fighting and bleeding on the front line of disaster relief. Sacrifice... the sweat, honor and disgrace, the test of humanity and life behind it, who knows the ordinary people?

Now that he has been suffering in the military camp for more than a month, Meng Xiaobei feels the same way, as if he has suddenly grown up again, matured from inside to outside.His skin had thickened, however, it wasn't just the skeletal skin on his shoulders and arms that had been polished hard and rough.Shaotang is now an officer, his rank is not low, he has bars and stars on his shoulders, and he has ostentation when he goes in and out. , survived for more than ten years, and climbed to the current position.Shaotang's index finger, middle finger, and palm were covered with dark yellow hard calluses, and there were injuries on his back and waist.

That time more than two years ago, the two had their "first night".

Afterwards, Shaotang frowned and complained to him, baby, you're fine.I have been running obstacle courses in the army for so many years, and I have never fallen behind those eighteen or nineteen-year-old soldiers. This time, the next day we had a test in the team, and I climbed over the high wall with my bare hands. At that time, I stepped on the crooked and fell into the river! !My back was hurting while running, my thighs were cramping, and my calves were shaking. I used to run first every time, but this time, I ran third, and I was overtaken by two soldiers , Your father and I are embarrassing.

Meng Xiaobei was heartless at the time, laughing wantonly, self-righteous, thinking that he was so awesome that he could make Shaotang lie down.

Looking back on it afterwards, I added another admiration and miss to this person.The best thing is his man, a tough, heroic, indomitable man.Chuye's butt was bleeding from him, and if he opened it, he could still lead a group of soldiers to run obstacles and crawl across the country. Can ordinary men do it? Have this ability? !

Since this fall, Shaotang has been busy with official duties. He often travels to Shanghai, Guangdong and Shenzhen, and rarely stays at home.

Although the two lived in the same city, they couldn't see each other most of the time, as if they were destined to fall into the hardship of lovesickness between the two places.The stronger the relationship, the more short-lived the minutes and seconds spent together.

On the last day of military training, the company held a summary and commendation meeting in the morning, and then went back to the dormitory to pack their luggage and pack the bedding into backpacks.A group of boys carried quilts, and each carried a net bag, which contained clanging enamel or steel rice bowls and washbasins!

After eating at noon, we formally lined up for the last time on the playground, shouted slogans, sang military songs, and the "militia reserve" successfully graduated!

The leader came out of the regiment headquarters and led the visiting guests.

Luo Xiaohu strolled over with his hands behind his back, his arms casually resting on Fang Chengliang's shoulders, and they turned their heads to look over there together: "Look over there, that man is here!"

Squad leader Fang said: "Huh? You're young, and you've got two stripes. How can you look like a member of the regiment, who has made meritorious service?"

Squad leader Luo and his comrades whispered in their ears: "It is said that our leader was an old classmate when he was studying in the military academy, who is the general staff, tsk tsk, it seems to be very powerful..."

Meng Xiaobei poked out half of his face from the middle of the queue, and suddenly froze, staring straight at the person not far away.

Shaotang is here.

Shaotang was dressed in a military uniform, his eyes seemed to be shining under the brim of his hat, his eyes were gentle and solemn, and he was chatting happily with several leaders of the army.

He Shaotang didn't ask about Meng Xiaobei's military training at all, and didn't come to visit him through the back door by relying on his familiarity.

Isn't it just military training?The son is not young anymore, and a little wolf dog will be thrown out sooner or later to practice and practice, so he can't always stick to Lao Tzu's side.This time, the logistics leader of the Artillery Brigade took the initiative to contact Shaotang and asked him to do something.Their artillery bases run their own factories to produce military equipment, use the ordnance industry to support and strengthen the army, and subsidize the funding gap for logistics.The leader of the team sent a car to the city to pick up Shaotang, and he insisted on inviting Comrade He to come to the mountain for a meal, to taste the self-sufficient wild game of the base, and then to inspect the ordnance base.The classmates are easy to handle, so please Shaotang to help you connect, find the military trading company in the logistics department responsible for export, and get a share quota.For monopolistic military industrial enterprises, obtaining indicators from internal government departments is the most important way to make money.

Shaotang told the leaders of the base, "Your output is quite large, you have the ability to accept large orders, and the quality inspection is up to standard. But now the internal indicators of the General Logistics Department are very strict, and many well-connected people use various channels to divert the indicators" ' has."

The leader whispered tactfully: "Hey, Shaotang, I'm an old classmate and I need a way out, so I have to ask you for help."

Shaotang said sincerely: "I understand what you mean, there are some things I want, but I'm afraid I can't do them... I will try my best in normal and legal ways."

Meng Xiaobei was wearing a camouflage hat, his cheeks were dark and thin, and the bones in his shoulders had become tough due to hard training.

However, Shaotang didn't look at him in a daze from the beginning to the end.

Shaotang's undisciplined and gentle eyes flicked across his head, without stopping, and directly sifted past him.Meng Xiaobei thought to himself that the young master practiced too hard and changed too much. Shaotang didn't recognize me?

The leader waved his hand and greeted, "Fang Chengliang!"

Squad leader Fang hurriedly stood at attention: "Yes!"

Captain Luo didn't call anyone out in a low voice: "Hey..."

Squad leader Fang trotted over, stood at attention, saluted, and accepted the lecture.The leader praised Xiaofang to Shaotang with a half-smile, and Shaotang seemed to smile too.Squad leader Xiao Fang was flattered, and reported the military situation of the students' training in an upright manner.Shaotang made a move, stretched his arms to strangle squad leader Fang's shoulders, and squeezed his fingers hard, which must have hurt him secretly and put him off.The squad leader was young after all, so shocked by the aura between Shaotang's eyebrows and the strength of his hands, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, so he subconsciously put his arm around Shaotang's lower back.

Meng Xiaobei: "..."

Luo Xiaohu folded his arms around his chest, turned his head to look: "What are you doing!... and hugged her waist..."

As a result, on this day, Shaotang held his breath and walked around the barracks accompanied by the leader, visiting the base and logistics, without talking to Meng Xiaobei.

Later, when the students lined up to get on the bus, Shaotang watched from a distance, gazing at his tall and thin son's back.Meng Xiaobei got into the car and sat down. Shaotang closed his eyes slightly to Xiaobei, with a smile in his eyes, and stood upright, tall and dazzling like a poplar tree beside the road, watching his son finish his military training and leave the barracks smoothly.

As soon as Squad Leader Fang walked back, he was quickly hooked by his comrade Luo Xiaohu by the shoulders, biting his ears, trotting away and dragging him away for questioning!

Luo Xiaohu privately told the girls in his class that he and Fang Chengliang came from different places to join the army. They enlisted in the same year and were promoted to squad leader together.After leaving the army, they may not go back to their hometown, but good brothers will make a companion and go to Shenzhen to start a business together.There are many opportunities in Shenzhen, and there are migrant workers all over the country. The hero doesn't ask where he comes from. The two plan to start a small business together and make a fortune!

The bus took the students back to the city until evening, when Meng Xiaobei came out of school and was about to go home for the weekend, when he saw Shaotang at the school gate.

Standing across the alley, Shaotang pulled the sunglasses down the bridge of his nose, revealing his eyes, squinting slightly at the corners of his eyes, and hooked his hands: Come here.

Shaotang's expression was as steady as Mount Tai, he clearly recognized him as soon as he entered the barracks, so he deliberately ignored him!

Meng Xiaobei's heart was trembling so fast, he hurriedly ran over in a trotting posture, stacked his schoolbags, and stood at attention.He drew up a standard military posture, tapped his heel, "slapped", and saluted the military.

He was wearing a dusty camouflage uniform and still had his military cap on.

Shaotang's eyes seemed to be ignited with a faint flame, and the pupils lit up.It was also an instant reaction, Shaotang's arm movements were smooth and smooth, and he slid a dignified arc in front of Meng Xiaobei's eyes, "Pa", and solemnly returned a more handsome military salute.

The two men are tall and straight, with their eyes level.

Shaotang asked: "Did you train well?"

Meng Xiaobei's voice was low, but he was full of energy, and his voice was tough: "Report to husband, the training task has been successfully completed! Today's meeting also won the pacesetter little red flower!!!"

Shaotang immediately showed a smile, his eyes narrowed with charming lines, and his eyes were pitch black.

Shaotang only paused for a moment, and stepped forward to hug his son's shoulders... In broad daylight, on the street, the two of them did not make any intimate movements. Shaotang gave Xiaobei a very manly hug among comrades in arms, squeezed his shoulder blades hard, and clapped Pat on the back.As soon as he squeezed it, he could feel that the bones in Meng Xiaobei's back were strong, and the muscles in his upper arms were bulging.Shaotang deliberately pulled Xiaobei's hands, and stroked ten fingers carefully to make sure they were not injured.

Shaotang: "The face is sunburned."

Xiaobei: "Well, isn't he handsome?"

Shaotang smiled calmly: "Handsome, he used to look like a boy, but now he looks like a tough man."

Under Xiaobei's narrow eyelids, there was joy and excitement, and he was still tense: "I thought you wouldn't come to pick me up today, and you pretended not to see me in the barracks at noon...I am worthy of you now, right?"

Shaotang frowned slightly: "You have always been a good match for me."
