Xiao Yong took Cheng Chong into a restaurant that looked a little high-grade, and they asked for a private room very extravagantly. After all, they haven't seen each other for a long time. Although the things they are going to talk about are not secret, they don't seem to be suitable for public discussion in public, and they don't want to be disturbed by others.
Therefore, we had to make an exception to extravagance!
"Monitor! How can you work in such a place? How's your leg?" Out of politeness and concern for the monitor, Cheng Chong, who was full of doubts, took the lead in asking Xiao Yong questions as soon as he entered the restaurant.
Xiao Yong, who had a series of questions in his heart, saw that Cheng Chong took the lead in asking him questions with concern. He had to take the lead in opening the chatterbox and talk about his own affairs first. Moreover, for the soldier Cheng Chong brought out by himself, he has nothing to hide.
Therefore, the dishes ordered by the two people were not complete. Under Cheng Chong's continuous and orderly questions, Xiao Yong revealed what had happened to him over the past year without reservation.
It turned out that he was seriously injured in his leg after he was brushed off to participate in the selection of special soldiers of Falcon special brigade. Next, although he lay in the hospital for more than half a year, the hospital also thought of all ways as much as possible, and used a large number of orthopaedic experts to hold repeated meetings and organize consultations, he still failed to completely cure his leg injury.
Fortunately, he has extraordinary perseverance and extraordinary strength. Unwilling to admit defeat and never admit his fate, he unexpectedly stood up again under the continuous persistence and exercise of constantly falling down and constantly relying on his own strength to get up from the ground. In addition, he also overcame many difficulties and restored his normal walking function.
However, after all, there is no possibility for him to completely recover to the state before his injury.
In this case, he is no longer competent for high-intensity sports, is not suitable to be a soldier, and is not suitable to stay in the army to continue to serve. Even if he has 10000 unwilling to give up, he must leave the army!
When he retired, the regiment issued him a disability certificate.
Probably because of the disability certificate, after returning home, the local government also gave him some care and help, and the local government also arranged a more leisurely job for him.
Originally, he could keep this relatively idle work all the time and live his life in this way.
However, he didn't admit defeat and would never admit his fate. He was unwilling to be treated as a disabled person. He didn't want to keep a quiet job and start providing for the aged when he was still young. Therefore, strong and persistent, without working for a few days, he resolutely resigned and went south to this prosperous metropolis to live on his own strength and ability.
"Squad leader! Why do you have to do this? Since the government has arranged a free job for you, you can do it well! Why give up? Besides, all the hard work on the construction site is not very convenient. Why should you suffer this crime? What's more, you should follow the bastard contractor just now! It's really unnecessary!" After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, Cheng Chong then asked his most concerned question curiously.
"Hey! You don't understand!" After more than a year of struggle with pain, Xiao Yong at this time has become very open-minded. He smiled at Cheng Chong around him, drank a mouthful of wine, and then said easily: "you don't know. If the people around you treat you as a disabled person, that kind of eyes, even if they really care about you, I'm afraid they can kill you directly."
Listening to Xiao Yong's words, Cheng Chong, who didn't understand, looked at him suspiciously.
Xiao Yong continued to burst into a calm smile, Then he said: "You can't understand if I'm not in that position! However, I don't think I need the help and care of the government. What's more, I haven't reached the time to provide for the elderly. I think I'm ok. Although my legs and feet are not very sharp, my two arms are still very strong. Most people can't pull me when they pull their wrists. I pass by the Department After seven or eight years of training in the team, I still have a lot of strength. I believe that it is absolutely no problem to rely on my own hands to feed myself. "
Cheng Chong, who seemed to understand something, sincerely looked at Xiao Yong with approval.
"In addition, there are many people in the society who need more care than me. Since I can support myself with my own hands, don't occupy those places! If I can reduce the pressure on the country and the government, I will try my best to share it. If I can share it with our society, I will try my best to share it!" When he said these words, Xiao Yong said it very easily and naturally, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with himself.
Xiao Yong's words immediately made Cheng Chong's heart mixed, and inexplicably moved at the same time.
"Monitor! Haven't you thought a little about yourself? Or have you never considered your own affairs?" Cheng Chong, greatly moved, lowered his voice and asked Xiao Yong tentatively.
"Yes! Of course! Aren't I fine now?" Xiao Yong didn't even think about it, and immediately replied.
Then, thoughtfully, he continued to smile calmly, and then turned his head, Facing Cheng Chong, he said seriously, "I know what you mean. Don't you just want to ask me if I feel I'm losing! Right? Let me tell you! Since the day I put on my military uniform, I haven't thought about losing for myself! You may think it's strange for me to do this and don't eat human fireworks!"
Cheng Chong looked at the monitor in front of him curiously and seriously. His eyes were firm, neither admitting nor denying it!
"It's absolutely deceptive to say that we don't think of ourselves at all! However, if we put our personal interests together with the interests of the country and the broad masses of the people, we will immediately feel that our personal interests are insignificant and worthless! We are all soldiers and soldiers. At the beginning, we swore to the military flag together And this oath is not a momentary brain fever or impulse, but requires us to faithfully practice the oath all our life. Just because we take off our military uniforms, retire and leave the army, we can't forget all the vows we have sworn. You know, when we put on the military uniform, we are soldiers, and after taking off the military uniform, we are still soldiers! Do you understand? "
Cheng Chong was deeply shocked by Xiao Yong's righteous words again!
At this time, Cheng Chong, as if he didn't know Xiao Yong in front of him, looked at the monitor in front of him with his eyes. For a moment, he almost forgot that he was sent from his mouth.
At the moment, what Cheng Chong saw in his eyes was not only Xiao Yong, but also the heart of an extremely simple, glittering and dazzling veteran. They only think about dedication and giving, never think about return, never think about taking.
And such plain veterans are more than ten million in the whole land of China!
No matter where they are, no matter what class they are in the society, and no matter how unhappy their real life is, their hearts are always towards the motherland they love deeply. In their blood, they always flow infinite loyalty to the motherland. In his bone marrow, they always remember that they used to be a soldier, He was once a soldier shouldering the safety of the motherland.
This is a true confession of a veteran's inner world!
Broad-minded, open-minded, a patriotic heart of a child is ready to come out!
Deeply moved, Cheng Chong almost shed tears!
"Well said! Monitor! When we put on our military uniforms, we are soldiers. After taking off our military uniforms, we are still soldiers! Come on! Monitor! Drink to what you just said!" Cheng Chong looked at Xiao Yong in front of him, picked up his glass and said emotionally.
Xiao Yong, whose eyes were almost red, immediately raised his glass.
Two people immediately put their respective wine glasses to the sky.
Then Xiao Yong put down his glass, smashed his mouth, then turned to Cheng Chong and asked, "come on! Don't talk about me! I have nothing to say. I've retired from the army, and that's it. Let's talk about you! What's the matter with you? Why have you come to this city? Tell me what happened?"
It seems that this problem can't be avoided. Moreover, Cheng Chong didn't want to hide the monitor! Anyway, things have happened. It's okay to talk to him at this time.
If other people ask about this matter, Cheng Chong is afraid that he will just prevaricate a few words and end the matter. He will never tell the truth to others. At the moment, Xiao Yong asked him, but it was different! He can not only tell him, but also take him as his own object to talk to and vent.
However, both of them, who have been soldiers for several years, deeply understand the meaning of the "confidentiality regulations" in the army, and know what to say, what not to say, what to point to, and what are top secret things. They can't even mention a word. Although Xiao Yong was once his monitor and his guide in the army, that is no exception!
Next, Cheng Chong picked and avoided the important and told Xiao Yong about why he retired from the army from beginning to end. However, although Cheng Chong said this thing very vaguely, Xiao Yong also understood it. However, as a veteran, he naturally knows many things that need to be kept secret in the army. Therefore, he is not very serious and will not inquire carefully.
"So you violated discipline and acted without authorization? And this time, you pulled Meng Lang and made mistakes with you?" Cheng Chong just introduced the matter to Xiao Yong, who grasped the key of the problem, although he asked with a dignified look.
Cheng Chong nodded a little embarrassed!
"Ah! It's all my fault, it's all my fault! I'm used to you two. Otherwise, you two wouldn't have made such a mistake! You know, you and Meng Lang are not only my personal pride, but also the pride of our whole sharp knife reconnaissance company! Well, they made mistakes together and were forced out of active service at the same time..." surprisingly, Xiao Yong didn't blame Cheng Chong at all. On the contrary, he blamed himself abnormally, and his fist pounded the table.
Seeing Xiao Yong's appearance, Cheng Chong became more and more guilty and embarrassed, Then he quickly explained: "Squad leader! Don't blame yourself. The more you blame yourself, the more I feel distressed, and the more I feel guilty. This matter has nothing to do with you. You've always been strict with us, and it's the two of us who make mistakes. Oh no! It's mainly because I don't have enough concentration to stick to discipline, loose style, lax requirements for myself, etc.! In a word, it's all my fault, and it's also implicated Meng Lang! "
"What are you talking about? What is it? It has nothing to do with me? Do you know? In our army, the soldiers make mistakes, all of which are caused by the incompetence of the monitor, especially the monitor of the recruit company, who failed to educate and train the soldiers well! What else to say now, I absolutely have something to do with this matter..." although Xiao Yong seemed a little excited, And more and more self reproach, the tone is also more and more intense.
Seeing Xiao Yong so and so, Cheng Chong's heart couldn't help being anxious.
After thinking secretly for a moment, in order to comfort Xiao Yong, Cheng Chong, who was quick thinking, had a flash in his mind and turned to a way to get along with the monitor. He comforted the monitor and said, "monitor, I think there are still some strange things in this matter. I'm afraid it's not as simple as violating battlefield discipline and acting without authorization!"
"What do you say?" Sure enough, as soon as Cheng Chong said this, Xiao Yong changed his face very quickly. Then, he quickly gathered together and asked in a low voice.
Seeing that Xiao Yong seems to have been led by himself, Cheng Chong then said his doubts with half truth: "monitor, you've been in the army longer than me, and you should know the army better than me! Think about it. Under normal circumstances, if soldiers make mistakes and need to withdraw from active service in advance, do you have to wait until the veterans retire at the end of the year and retire with these veterans?"
"That's right! Apart from other places, there are always a few soldiers or cadres in our tiger regiment every year, either because they made mistakes or because they are not fit to continue their service, so they withdrew from active service ahead of schedule. For example, me! Because my legs and feet are broken, I withdrew from active service together with that group of veterans at the end of the year!" Xiao Yong blinked, and then he directly linked the theory with his own practice.
"That's right! But the three of us quit our active service immediately! There's no delay for a moment? Let alone wait until the end of the year, even if we stay in the army for a night! No delay is allowed! Anyway, that's what we mean. We're very strict! Moreover, the only punishment for the three of us is to expel us from the army and order us to retire. We can't do it again There are no other punishments. It seems a little abnormal. " Now that the words have been said, Cheng Chong simply tells Xiao Yong all the doubts shrouded in his heart.
"That's strange! What else? Besides, you three are elite special forces of your brigade? It takes a lot of manpower, material resources, time and money to train you. There's no reason for you three to leave the army like this? Besides, although you three violated discipline, the starting point is to better complete it Mission? It doesn't make sense! It doesn't make sense... "Sure enough, Xiao Yong, who has been a soldier for seven or eight years and is particularly familiar with the army, immediately became very confused.
He thought repeatedly for a while, and then, obviously with some excitement, he said to Cheng Chong in surprise: "I know, this must be the intention of the superior, or to let the three of you avoid something temporarily. Maybe, before long, you will return to the team again with a paper order from the superior!"
After that, Xiao Yong stared excitedly at Cheng Chong in front of him with surprised and expectant eyes!
