Chapter 62 The Loss of the Old Soldier
The doors opened, and the surprised faces...
"I am the military representative He Guoxiong. I am here to visit all the students on behalf of the troops and the school."
"Welcome. Please come in!"
"Does the students have any difficulties in life?"
"...It's okay. Thank you for your concern."
"Who is Lin Fang? I heard that your family is in a bad state. This is what the army and the school care about you. Other students have any life and family difficulties, so they can also come to me in the future. I hope that all the students will study hard!"
...
"I am the military representative He Guoxiong... You are welcome, this is the concern of the troops..."
"Study hard, that's the best thanks..."
"Well! Xiao Li, remember to buy more towels tomorrow..."
...
Running in dormitories, targeting students from poor families. Each person has a military quilt, a military coat, a military enamel teacup and a military lunch box. There are not many things, but they are very practical.
Jing Jian finally understood that He Guoxiong was looking for his real intention. He found that he, a rare veteran, had to help him show his love together. And that Xiao Li should be He Guoxiong's guard.
Jing Jian was quite willing to do these good things. However, he felt it was quite interesting in secret, as if he had been learning from Lei Feng since the moment he got on the train.
He Guoxiong was decisive in his work, and each dormitory stayed for three or five minutes. After a few round trips, the supplies in the warehouse had been reduced by nearly one-third. It was almost time to turn off the lights, and finally the busy day ended, and the three of them began to walk back.
Suddenly, He Guoxiong stopped and looked at the century-old ancient trees beside the road, silent. Jing Jian and the guard Xiao Li also stopped, standing there and waiting quietly. Jing Jian already felt something was wrong, and today the representative He seemed to be very... abnormal.
Turning back suddenly, He Guoxiong suddenly asked: "Do you know what's going on this National Day?"
"National Day? 1984 National Day?" Jing Jian thought for a moment and understood the answer, "Report to the Chief, the military parade!" In 1984, the military parade on the 35th anniversary of the National Day was so famous. Even a movie on this subject became a business card and also made a famous director.
"Then what else have you heard of?" He Guoxiong asked again.
"Uh?" Jing Jian was stunned. The military parade greatly increased the national prestige, which should be in line with the old soldier's appetite. But his emotions seemed...? Lightning flashed, and Jing Jian suddenly woke up: "Know, Chief! Disarmament... one million!"
"Yes, one million disarmament!" He Guoxiong sighed. He shook his head and continued to move forward.
Jing Jian and Xiao Li followed closely behind, and he had already fully understood the mood of the old soldier. The 1984 military parade was almost praised later, but how many people could understand the extremely disappointed feelings of those soldiers?
"I've read your file." He Guoxiong said slowly, "You may not know yet that your old army is pretty good, it was reduced to regiment and organized into the Tiger Division. But... mine is gone! It's gone!"
Jing Jian certainly knew the subsequent movements of his old army. However, at this time, he no longer knew what to say.
"There are so many supplies, but I can't use them anymore. I asked the bureau for some, and I can use them, whether it's good..."
Listening to He Guoxiong's monologue, he slowly returned to the bungalows. Suddenly, He Guoxiong turned to face Jing Jian: "The People's Liberation Army is a soldier of the people. He sacrificed his life for the sake of the country and nation. Although he was dismissed by one million, our backbone has never collapsed. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Chief!"
"Jing Jian, you and you must study hard. Although the battlefield is different, remember that what you lost today will be taken back quickly!"
"..." Jing Jian wanted to agree. But this... it's no longer a problem, but the requirements are too high, right? Even in his previous life, Jing Jian would never have the ability to determine the fate of the country and nation?
"I'm very dissatisfied with your attitude." Unexpectedly, He Guoxiong got angry immediately.
"Report to the leader and ensure that the task is completed!" Jing Jianzheng.
He Guoxiong finally smiled: "Hold on the day after tomorrow and give it to your things before school starts." He patted Jing Jian on the shoulder, "Very good!"
In the twilight, the shadows of the trees swayed. As He Guoxiong entered, Jing Jian was silent...
******************************************************
In Zhao Xia’s dormitory, Qin Zi and Zhao Xia had just finished taking a shower. They rushed to their bed. Qin Zi looked enjoying: “Oh, mom, it’s finally over. I’m kissing the cool mat, I miss you so much.”
Zhao Xia climbed onto the bed and joked: "Then are you still fighting with those from Peking University? Once you're not enough, do it again?"
"I just can't stand it." Qin Zi lay lazily, "You haven't seen it, they are still secretly wiping tears from behind. Hehe, are they actually competing with our Huaqing? Those girls are overestimating their abilities. Hihe!"
"No one can compare to you. Hehe." Zhao Xia tied her long hair, "Huaqing's number one shrew. Hehe!"
"Xia Mei'er..."
Seeing a fight and the show was about to start again. Suddenly, Wei Rong said: "Xiaoxia, the recorder has been placed there. And, um... do you know?"
"What do you know?" The fight was temporarily interrupted.
"Your cousin?"
"He? What's wrong with him?" Zhao Xia tightened her headband, a little nervous.
"It's all spread. He also entered Huaqing, and he was also from our chemistry department. He is our junior."
“…”
He covered his head with a blanket and felt heartbroken. Before he knew it, Zhao Xia was already in tears. He heard the "good news" just now, and the congratulations and laughter were all over, and he didn't know how to spend his forced smile.
I didn't know anything, I didn't know anything at all! Xiaohu said he lived in the county town and was preparing for the college entrance examination. When he came to Huaqing, he actually came to register. And so many letters were not mentioned at all. In the end, even the reply was cut off. And... that breakup letter? Is that true?
The more Zhao Xia thought about it, the more sad she felt. She was already crying. When she recalled the breakup letter, suddenly, a glimmer of hope seemed to ignite again.
Xiaowa once said that if you want to trust him, he will work hard to go to the capital. Isn’t this coming? And he came to Huaqing. If it weren’t for finding him, how could he come? He should have himself in his heart, right?
Zhao Xia began to regret again. Why is she obsessed with her? She can’t go back to her hometown once during the summer vacation? Even if she takes the TOEFL or military parade training, she can squeeze out time. It’s okay to stay for a few nights or say what she thinks.
I thought of Jing Jian again. I was so petty, just deliberately without saying a word, suddenly appearing and angering myself. It's such a bad man! I was confused: "Hey! Women are so miserable!"
