Chapter 1198 Everyone in the Group Knows
In the large open space in front of the barracks, the soldiers of the Seventh Company gathered together chatting and laughing.

Shi Jin patted Wang Yan's arm and said, "I'm leaving. You should work hard. Don't you know where I'm going? Don't forget to write to me."

"Yes, we need to contact each other more often." Wu Liuyi said with a smile on his face.

"Come on, you're right here at the regiment headquarters, but you're talking as if you're a million miles away. I can stay at your company."

Wu Liuyi laughed: "You left after that, didn't you? I told you what I was talking about first."

"Wait for your partner to come over, don't hide it, I'll treat you to a meal. At least get to know him."

"Get out." Wu Liuyi waved his hands unhappily.

At this time, Xu Sanduo walked over. He heard Wang Yan teasing Wu Liuyi and also laughed.

Shi Jin took two steps forward, put his hands on Xu Sanduo's shoulders, and stared straight into his eyes: "Xu Sanduo, you must remember that you are a good soldier. You are not a coward, not some idiot. You are Xu Sanduo. You can do well and you can do better. Do you know that?"

"Yes, I am a good soldier." Xu Sanduo said loudly.

"You can imagine how big the change is. When I first got here, I wanted to kick him to death when I saw him like that. Now he's much better, and he looks much more pleasing to the eye." Wu Liuyi rubbed Xu Sanduo's head, very intimately.

He said, "You kid, work hard and try to get promoted in the future. We can't do it, but you have great hope."

Wang Yan patted Wu Liuyi's arm. "Don't talk about him. He knows things better than you do. You should be careful in the future. Don't be stubborn when you get angry. You should obey when you should. You have a lot of injuries. You should pay attention during training and keep your physical condition. Don't work so hard that you have to die."

"You don't have to tell me. I'm not stupid."

"How smart do you think you are? You are the dumbest." Shi Jin laughed, "Wang Yan is right, you should fight when you should, and don't fight when you shouldn't. Let's be realistic, our salary has increased now, and you can get the third term, which is real money. You still have to get married and have children, so you can't ignore those things."

"Oh, that's enough, all of you can be my dad."

"I don't have a son like you who is annoying." Wang Yan waved his hands with a look of disgust.

Everyone laughed and joked for a while, and then said goodbye to Gao Cheng and Hong Xingguo. They reluctantly got into the car and left, waving to Gao Cheng, Wang Yan, and Xu Sanduo...

The three of them stood in silence in the open space, standing straight, watching the vehicle go away until it disappeared.

Still standing.

After a long while, Gao Cheng let out a long sigh and said, "There are only three of us left."

Wang Yan said, "You're leaving soon. After all, you're a company commander. Your transfer will only take place in the next two days."

Their eyes did not move, still looking at the direction where their comrades left.

Gao Cheng was silent for a long time. He waved his hand and turned back: "Okay, everyone has left. What else is there to see? Let's go back."

Without looking back, he ran into the building and disappeared in a hurry.

Xu Sanduo watched Gao Cheng disappearing.

"Wang Yan."

"Ok?"

"I felt like the company commander was crying."

"No need to feel anything, he just couldn't hold it back anymore and went back to secretly wipe away his tears."

"I cried too." said Xu Sanduo.

Wang Yan tilted his head to look at him and was indeed crying, with tears flowing uncontrollably.

"It's okay." Wang Yan put his arm around his shoulders. "You'll feel better after crying."

"It's not good. In fact, I cried secretly last night. I didn't want to cry today, but I couldn't help it."

"It's not shameful to cry, just cry when you need to. Emotions need an outlet, and crying will make you feel much better."

As he spoke, Wang Yan lit a cigarette and started smoking.

Because he was going to be promoted, he was not transferred. Xu Sanduo was just like the reason in the original play, he had to stay to guard the barracks and wait for the handover. Gao Cheng was just like what I said before, and the new transfer had not come yet.

In this regard, the regiment commander had to communicate with Gao Cheng's father. And Gao Cheng subjectively wanted to send away the soldiers of the Seventh Company, so he delayed for a while. But in fact, his arrangements had been made long ago...

To be honest, the two most important nodes in Xu Sanduo's growth were the time he was in Grassland Class 5 and the time when he was guarding the barracks and equipment alone after the Seventh Company was disbanded.

During these two periods of time, he endured loneliness, learned to persevere, and tempered his spiritual will, which made him grow.

But now, because of Wang Yan's appearance, he was encouraged early, strengthened his spirit, and promoted his growth. In the past two years, he has already become a good soldier, an excellent fighter...

Of course, there is one difference, that is Gao Cheng's attitude towards Xu Sanduo. In the original play, the two of them were very lively at this time, confronting each other and themselves. Now, Gao Cheng has changed his mind about Xu Sanduo, and Xu Sanduo has become a pioneer and won many honors. He participated in a big competition, and he was the second or third in many subjects in the group army.

Gao Cheng certainly did not make things difficult for Xu Sanduo anymore, and they forgave each other...

It was quiet for a while. Wang Yan finished his cigarette and Xu Sanduo wiped his tears and stopped crying.

"Be a soldier for a day and stand guard for a day. Even though there is no collective training now, we cannot relax ourselves. We still have to strictly demand ourselves and fulfill our duties as a soldier."

Wang Yan shouted, "Xu Sanduo!"

"road!"

“What subjects should we take?”

"400-meter hurdles, push-ups, 10 kilometers with light luggage, 400-meter frog jumps."

"Okay! Destination playground, run forward."

"Yes!"

"Turn right! Run! Go!"

Following Wang Yan's command, the two ran towards the playground.

The playground was empty at this time, emptier than ever before, so empty that there were only Wang Yan and Xu Sanduo on the playground.

The two ran on the playground, doing various physical training, strictly demanding themselves, and constantly breaking through their limits...

They trained until lunch time at noon, then they went back to find Gao Cheng. As expected, Gao Cheng didn't open the door, just said he didn't want to eat, and told him to be alone for a while and not to disturb him.

So Wang Yan and Xu Sanduo went to the cafeteria to eat.

The two men stood in line, with Wang Yan behind Xu Sanduo.

It was the singing session before dinner, with each company singing. When it was Xu Sanduo's turn, he started singing without thinking.

"There is a truth, no need to explain! Get ready!"

So Wang Yan also sang the military song with Xu Sanduo. Although there were only two of them, their voices were not weak and their momentum was just as strong.

"Wang Yan, come on, both of you sit here, let's eat together."

A familiar officer greeted Wang Yan.

Wang Yan did not refuse and took Xu Sanduo to sit over.

During the meal, they of course advised Wang Yan.

It’s not that Xu Sanduo and Wang Yan’s actions were bad, but they were too good. So good that people trembled all over and their souls were pierced whenever they thought of that scene. They couldn’t bear it.

Wang Yan didn't want to sing it at first, but Xu Sanduo insisted, so he followed suit. Of course, he had the spirit of persistence, perseverance, and character, but he didn't have Xu Sanduo's persistence, and he never would.

Because, only he himself knows that he has always been an outsider...

Apart from these, everyone was just chatting and laughing. Wang Yan was still very impressive, and everyone wanted to chat with him. He was also good at chatting, so people were willing to chat with him.

Xu Sanduo doesn’t talk that much. He’s not a man of few words, but he doesn’t talk much either…

After lunch, Wang Yan packed another portion for Gao Cheng to take back. As expected, Gao Cheng did not open the door. After placing the meal at Gao Cheng's door, Wang Yan and his partner returned to the dormitory for a nap.

Wang Yan moved his luggage directly to the third shift, and the bed next to Xu Sanduo, both were lower bunks. Xu Sanduo put his hands behind his head and tilted his head to look at Wang Yan who was leaning against the wall reading a book next to him: "You said the company commander hasn't finished crying yet?"

"He loved the Seventh Company more than anyone else. He was the one who felt the most pain when the Seventh Company was disbanded, especially when he locked himself in his room and lay there thinking about it. The more he thought about it, the more pain he felt. It was normal for him to cry for the whole day."

Xu Sanduo let out a long sigh, filled with sorrow...

"Aren't you sleepy?"

"Can't sleep."

"I can't sleep, so I just doze off." Wang Yan turned a page of the book. "There's still a lot of time to come. When I'm gone, you'll be all alone. Will you still be unable to sleep every day? You'll get used to it."

The two chatted casually like this. In the middle of the conversation, Xu Sanduo got up and went out. When he came back, he happily told Wang Yan that Gao Cheng had brought the meal in.

Wang Yan smiled and said nothing.

Gao Cheng may not want to eat, but the food has been brought back, and it cannot be wasted. This is a principle that all soldiers know and abide by. So even if he is not hungry, Gao Cheng will still eat...

In the afternoon, Wang Yan and Xu Sanduo practiced tactics and shooting. It was another busy afternoon, just finding something to do.

In fact, the two of them insisting on training now is the same as Xu Sanduo insisting on repairing the road in the grassland class 5. It is also the same as the card playing of the class 5. Of course, there are differences when comparing one thing with another. To use the words that Xu Sanduo has learned and often said since then, it is whether it is meaningful or not.

There is no doubt that what the two are doing now is meaningful.

This is what Xu Sanduo shared with Wang Yan while he was shooting...

When it was time for dinner, Gao Cheng still hadn't come out, so the two of them brought him food, and Gao Cheng ate it. Before lights out, Gao Cheng finally made some movement.

With a cigarette in his mouth, he came to the door of Class 3 and looked at the two people soaking their feet inside.

"Why don't I move in with you two? Then there will be only three of us and we can talk and chat," he said.

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Come on."

Xu Sanduo also smiled: "Then you can sleep here with me. I'll sleep on the upper bunk."

This is an old rule in the class, in case the new recruits are not used to it or fall down when they are not sleeping well, so the old soldiers sleep on the upper bunk to take care of the new recruits.

Gao Cheng knew this, of course, and immediately said with a smile: "Okay, Xu Sanduo, treat me as a new recruit."

Xu Sanduo smiled innocently.

Gao Cheng said, "Okay, I'll sleep on the lower bunk. You know what, I really can't get used to sleeping on the upper bunk."

There is only a single bed in his dormitory, and he is used to sleeping on it.

After a while, Gao Cheng came over with the bedding and quickly made the bed. He then sat cross-legged on the bed, lit a cigarette and started smoking, not forgetting to give one to Wang Yan.

"Oh, there are only three of us left." He sighed.

"In two days, there will only be two of us left. After a while, Xu Sanduo will be alone." Wang Yan said these heart-breaking words.

"Hey……"

Gao Cheng couldn't help but sigh, "I still remember it. When you first came, Xu Sanduo was scared by the tanks and raised his hands in surrender. He was so cowardly. When you were assigned to the company, Shi Jin strongly asked me to keep you in the Seventh Company, but I didn't agree. You don't blame me, right?"

Xu Sanduo smiled and shook his head: "No complaints, I am also a member of the 7th Steel Company now, I am the 4956th soldier."

Xu Sanduo is even more heartbreaking.

Gao Cheng wanted to die even more.

Seeing Wang Yan's smiling face, he said, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, Xu Sanduo, you have to learn from Wang Yan, he is confident. He can do anything. If you ask me to go, I will go. You saw the new recruit company, the military boxing was so beautiful. He was open and not afraid at all. I knew at that time that he was a good soldier. Of course, you are still a good soldier now, what I mean is that you still have to work hard."

"I know, Company Commander." Xu Sanduo responded.

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Not feeling uncomfortable anymore?"

"How can I not feel bad? There's nothing I can do about it. Even if I don't understand, I have to understand."

"You locked yourself up for a day and you want to come out here?"

"What else can I do? I'll find a rope and hang myself up." Gao Cheng stared, then fell silent for a moment and said, "I've cried before."

"I know." Wang Yan smiled.

"You're making fun of me, aren't you?"

Wang Yan shook his head: "How could that be possible? Crying is normal. I'm trying hard to hold it back."

"Company commander, I'm crying too." Xu Sanduo said.

"Ah..." Gao Cheng sighed again, "I would never have thought that I, Gao Cheng, would one day become a company commander without any soldiers."

"It will only take two days." Wang Yan waved his hand and consoled her, "You will be leading a new team in two days. You will be very busy at first and won't have time to feel sad. By the time you have time, the sadness will be over and you won't feel any worse."

"No, you are here to comfort me?"

"Ah. Don't you think so? I'm telling you the truth. Captain, you're going to get a promotion this time, right? You can get a promotion to 21 cents."

"do not know."

"The company commander will definitely be promoted. The squad leader said that the company commander has knowledge, education, ideals, thoughts, ambitions and standards."

"What Shi Jin said? It's of shit quality."

Gao Cheng was amused. He waved his hand, thought for a moment and said, "Let me tell you something. I haven't told anyone else about this. Only you two know about it. Don't make a fuss about it when you go out."

He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I am the one... the one others call a general's son... my father is... let me make it clear that I have never relied on him, and few people in the regiment know who he is... let's not talk about which army he is from, anyway..."

Gao Cheng began to introduce himself.

After saying these reserved words, he looked at Wang Yan, then stood on the ground and looked up at the upper bunk.

"No, can you two give me some reaction?"

"What's the reaction?" Wang Yan continued with a smile.

Xu Sanduo said: "It's from our army."

Gao Cheng's eyes widened, he turned back to look at Wang Yan, then looked at Xu Sanduo on the upper bunk: "How did you know?"

"The monitor told me."

"Oh? How did he know?"

Xu Sanduo said: "Everyone in the regiment knows about it."

Gao Cheng was stunned for a moment: "No, how could the whole group know about it? You know it too?"

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Wu Liuyi told me when we were in the recruit company."

Xu Sanduo said: "The squad leader said how could it be possible that the whole regiment didn't know, it's you, the company commander, who thinks others don't know."

"Oh." Gao Cheng looked at Xu Sanduo and then at Wang Yan. Both of them were smiling. His face turned red. "So I am a monkey. People watch me perform all day long?"

"There's no need to say that." Wang Yan laughed and began to comfort Gao Cheng again.

We started chatting enthusiastically.

Xu Sanduo didn't have much to say. If Gao Cheng asked him, he would talk. If Gao Cheng didn't ask him, he would just listen with a smile.

Just like that, the empty dormitory and the empty floor were filled with the laughter of three people.

But behind the laughter there is sadness, there is no real happiness.

They were all trying their best to cover it up, recalling the past, talking about so-and-so's embarrassing stories, and didn't fall asleep until late at night...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
