Dad kidnapped me to join the army, and the whole army asked me to be their instructor.

"Dad, it's done."

On the boat, Lin Rui said to the phone.

Lin Guangyao asked coldly: "Did that kid cause trouble for you?"

"No."

"He didn't resist?"

Lin Guangyao was a little surprised.

Lin Rui smiled bitterly: "Dad, Xiaohui is not a child, he just has a bit of a stubborn temper. He also said that if he promised you to be a soldier for two years, he would be a soldier for two years. He will definitely go to the end of the matter he has determined, and then he will do it with dignity. leave!"

Lin Guangyao snorted coldly: "He still knows the truth!"

"Dad, Xiaohui is actually really good, and...I can already feel that he has changed."

"nonsense!"

Lin Guangyao was angry: "There should be changes, otherwise why would I throw him into the army? It has been four months, and if there is no change at all, then he is not a member of our Lin family!"

Lin Rui smiled and said: "Through this incident, I have become more and more confident in Xiaohui."

"I can assure you that in two years' time, even if he does retire from the army, he will definitely understand the meaning of being a soldier and will never be the same again."

Lin Guangyao nodded: "I hope so. I hope that in two years, he will be like a human being and will no longer be a son of a bitch!"

Lin Rui's mouth twitched.

If he is a turtle son, then what will happen to you and me?

A family story of turtles?

After hanging up the phone, Lin Rui looked at the boundless blue sea outside and took a deep breath: "Xiaohui, you are the queen of the gate. In the past two years, please don't let us down..."

……

"Salute to comrade recruits!"

The squad leader roared, and all the veterans saluted.

The movements were so quick and neat that Lin Hui couldn't even stop him, so he quickly returned the favor.

Libi!

The squad leader came over enthusiastically and took his backpack: "Comrade Lin Hui, welcome, welcome, welcome!"

Lin Hui nodded awkwardly, always a little uncomfortable.

Is this different from what he imagined?

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Wei Yongnian. I am the squad leader here. They are Zou Peng, Wu Meng...Liu Shan. We are all guards guarding the southwest and are the first line of defense for the motherland!"

"Well said, applause!"

Zou Peng shouted loudly, and everyone applauded vigorously.

Lin Hui looked like he was rehearsing a play, and he was completely embarrassed.

However, these veterans seem to be quite honest and honest, and seem to be easier to get along with than the veterans at the production base.

Lin Hui really couldn't figure out what the old man was thinking?

I thought I would be sent to the most miserable and tiring place...

"Are you ready?"

"What are you preparing for?"

Lin Hui was stunned.

Lao Ma said mysteriously: "Bring it up!"

"Here comes the noodles!"

A veteran immediately ran out with a bowl of noodles.

Lin Hui looked at the bowl of noodles in front of him, which contained a large chicken drumstick, two slices of ham sausage, and a touch of green onion.

"Monitor, what is this?"

"It's for you to catch the wind, eat it while it's hot."

Seeing Lin Hui not moving his chopsticks, Wei Yongnian thought he looked down on him: "Don't dislike it. We only send supplies once in half a month. This is the best thing we can come up with."

"For this bowl of noodles, the squad leader took out all his rations for tomorrow..."

Another veteran wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Wei Yongnian: "Wu Meng, didn't you hide a salted duck egg? Take it out quickly!"

"Almost forgot!"

Wu Meng quickly ran to the cabinet and took out a salted duck egg.

And she even kindly helped him push it away.

Lin Hui suddenly felt warm in his heart.

When I was in the recruit company, the squad leader had a hot temper and resorted to corporal punishment at every turn.

When they first arrived at the production base, the veterans always tried to bully them in every possible way.

But when he came here, he felt like he was home...

Lin Hui stood up and saluted: "Thank you, fellow veterans."

"We are all veterans, but we are a family when we come here. Come on, it won't taste good after a while."

Lin Hui nodded and sat down to eat noodles.

I don't know if he was hungry, but he ate this meal particularly deliciously.

This was also the most reassuring and down-to-earth meal he had ever had since joining the army.

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, everyone watched the news broadcast together.

The island is small, there are no entertainment activities, and the wind and waves are strong at night.

So after watching the news broadcast, I learned to read newspapers.

After it was over, Wei Yongnian took Lin Hui to the dormitory.

As soon as he arrived, Lin Hui was stunned.

This is a small single room with only one bed and one chair.

Shouldn't we sleep in a dormitory?

Wei Yongnian explained: "The dormitory is already full, so I can only arrange you here first. The room is a utility room, so you feel aggrieved. Zou Peng will leave after a while, and when the bed is empty, you can move in again. "

"No aggrievement, sleeping in a single room is a perk only for cadres, and you can't enjoy it elsewhere."

Wei Yongnian laughed: "Which cadre lives in such a cold state? However, the conditions are really limited, so you can only make do with it now."

"There is a thermos on the kitchen counter. The boiling water in it is freshly boiled that day. You can drink it with confidence. When you exit the toilet, go to the left..."

"Yes!"

Lin Hui smiled and nodded.

He felt that the monitor was like an old mother, taking care of everything.

All I have to do is tell myself how to fold my clothes and keep my feet out when sleeping.

Wei Yongnian said with a smile: "I just said too much, you may not remember it all at once, but don't worry, you will be familiar with it in two days. If you don't understand something, come to me at any time, don't be embarrassed."

"It's getting late. You should go to bed early. There is a switch beside the bed."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Lin Hui quickly called him to stop him.

"Squad leader."

"what happened?"

Lin Hui hesitated for a moment, then mustered up his courage: "Squad leader, I don't want to hide something from you. I have a criminal record. When I was in the recruit company..."

After Wei Yongnian heard what Lin Hui said, he smiled and said, "I know everything you said."

Lin Hui was stunned: "You know?"

"Of course."

Wei Yongnian nodded: "I have received the information before you came here to report. I know everything about you since you joined the recruit company today."

"Don't be surprised. I'm also the monitor after all. If I don't even know what's going on with the newcomers, why should I be the monitor?"

Lin Hui suddenly felt a little ashamed: "Squad leader, you clearly know this, but why are you still..."

He didn't understand why the monitor didn't target him.

Instead, are you so kind to yourself?

It was because of this incident that he was targeted many times when he arrived at the breeding base.

Logically speaking, veterans should protect veterans, right?

Wei Yongnian said with a smile: "How can people not make mistakes? Soldiers are also human beings. Is it possible not to make mistakes?"

"The most important thing is that you can correct your mistakes."

"I've also heard about what you did at the breeding base. Didn't you do a good job? It means you realized your mistake."

Lin Hui was moved in his heart. It felt so good not to be discriminated against but to be understood.

Wei Yongnian looked at him: "Actually... I know your squad leader in the recruit company."

"Do you know Squad Leader Xu?"

"Yes, he used to be my soldier."

Lin Hui was shocked!

Xu Da turned out to be a soldier led by the squad leader?

I go, this, this is too coincidental.

Then didn't he and Xu Da become brothers?

"Squad leader, can you talk to me?"

Wei Yongnian nodded: "Of course. I remember that when Xu Da first joined the army, he was inconspicuous, like a boring gourd, and was not good in all aspects. Many people even thought that he was not a soldier."

Lin Hui was a little surprised.

its not right?

Xu Dan can join the Sixth Company of the Tiger Regiment, which shows that he has good talent. Why can't he get in touch with the soldiers?

Wei Yongnian recalled: "I know what you are thinking. I think he must be very capable if he can join the sharp knife company. But the reality is just the opposite..."

With the memories of the old squad leader, Lin Hui truly understood Xu Da's past.

He came out of the mountains with tenacity in his bones.

Maybe you know that you are not smart enough, so you often have to work twice, three times, or even ten times as hard as others for everything.

It was his desperate character that made him join the Sixth Sharp Knife Company.

Wei Yongnian looked at Lin Hui: "Xu Da's personality has been set since that time. He is straightforward and doesn't know how to get along with others. I hope you don't blame him."

"No no!"

Lin Hui shook his head.

When he was in the recruit company, the reason why he went against Xu Da was not only because he wanted to be lazy, but also because he didn't understand him.

I simply thought that this person just wanted to use himself to gain honor and get rewards.

But after listening to what the old squad leader said, he realized that Xu Da was indeed a good soldier.

It was in the past and it is now.

Then...can you be considered a good soldier?

Wei Yongnian sighed: "Xu Dan is what he is now, thanks to his unyielding and straightforward character. But this character is also destined that he cannot stay forever."

"Monitor, this is all my fault. If it weren't for me..."

Wei Yongnian waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with you. Even if we don't meet you, sooner or later conflicts will break out with others. Lead troops with skills and methods, rather than just acting recklessly!"

"To put it bluntly, he doesn't know how to get along with others. He can't adapt to the army and has no choice but to leave."

Lin Hui grew up in the compound.

It is very clear that the current military is developing at a high speed.

Many things are being innovated.

If you can adapt, then keep up. If you can't adapt, you can only be eliminated.

And Xu Da...

"Actually, it's okay to retire. If he doesn't make changes, staying in the army will be a struggle. Maybe it will be better if he leaves."

Wei Yongnian patted Lin Hui on the shoulder and sighed: "Okay, it's getting late. You should go to bed early. The lights will be turned off in a while."

The squad leader left, leaving Lin Hui alone in the room.

Branches rustled outside.

The sea breeze squeezed in through the cracks in the window, making waves of wailing.

Lin Hui lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, lost in thought.

All kinds of images flashed through my head like a marquee.

Although he has been in the army for less than half a year, he has experienced a lot in these six months.

There is sweat, there is bitterness, there is difference...

Thinking of Lao Ma's advice before leaving, he told him not to be confused by life.

At this moment, even he himself couldn't figure out whether he should continue to hang out?

Lin Hui was slightly absent-minded and murmured in his mouth: "What exactly is the meaning of a soldier? Could it be that, wearing this military uniform, am I not considered a soldier?"
