After the "Zhenbao Island Incident", the Sino-Soviet border was extremely tense. It was precisely because of this that the Heilongjiang Production and Construction Corps of the Chenyang Military Region of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Once a large-scale war was fought, the Production and Construction Corps immediately became a formal army. In addition, there were quasi-military organizations such as armed battalions and armed companies in the corps organization, which had a considerable level of training.

Although the border areas are no longer so nervous now, there are still frequent small-scale exercises and training. When you hear the assembly whistle sounding in the middle of the night, the educated youth have to pack their backpacks and run in a row. They are not allowed to light the lights, and they are afraid of exposing their targets, so they have to act in the dark. The educated youth have no experience when they first come and are full of jokes. Whenever an emergency gathering is reached, in the dark, this one wears other people's clothes and the one wears other people's shoes, can't wear them. The backpack is loose and dispersed before leaving the company. As time goes by, everyone has found the trick. Prepare a spare backpack every day before going to bed, put it aside, and walk away when they hear the assembly. It is fast and convenient.

When he first came, Li Siming's backpack was the best and fastest, and he was praised by the company commander every time, but as many times as he got the speed of others, he also raised the first place and gave it away.

That night, the educated youth from the Fifth Company had just fallen asleep. At about 12 o'clock, a rapid "beep-beep-" whistle in the middle of the night pierced the dark night sky. The educated youth got up like a conditioned reflex, quickly dressed up in the darkness, and gathered in the open space in front of the company.

"Report to the company commander, there is a row!"

"The second row is here"

"Three rows are here"

“Four rows are in full”

"Five rows are here"

...

"Everyone is attentive! Please rest! Comrades! Just received an emergency notice from his superiors that a Soviet spy jumped into our border this evening. According to reports from the masses, the spy may have entered Daxing Island. The superiors asked us to be vigilant, make strict arrangements, and work together to seize the spy who conspired to spy on our country's intelligence and undermine the achievements of our socialist construction. Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" The educated youth shouted with all their strength.

"I would like to remind everyone that this time is not an exercise, not an exercise!" The company commander said loudly. Someone below muttered that when an emergency gathering was either a spy or a Russian crossing the river, it was like a real thing.

"Who is talking, stand up! I remind you again that this is not an exercise, but a practical battle. Every comrade must be very energetic. In whose hands, I shot him!" The company commander looked serious, and his eyes were terrifying.

"Now I order the first and fifth rows to rush to the side of the Birch Forest near the Qixing River and ambush on the spot. The first row leader led the second row and the kitchen squad rushed to the north side of the mountain depression. The second row leader led the other platoons and me set up ambush on both sides of the gravel road leading to the regiment headquarters. The company headquarters is left by Instructor Ding, clerks and custodians. Everyone is not allowed to move or make sounds when ambushing. Once the roundup time comes, Instructor Ding will fire three green signal flares, and each department will immediately round up. Do you understand?" The company commander issued a series of orders.

"I understand!" The educated youth also knew that this time they were serious.

Along the way, the educated youth moved forward quickly in the snow, no one spoke, only the rustling sounds under their feet and the sound of gasping for breath. The company only had a few rifles, and Li Siming got one, but no one raised any objections. Nonsense, of course, the person with the best marksmanship should be divided into one.

"Oh!" A female educated youth behind fell down, it was Yang Yue.

"What's wrong?" Li Siming turned around and asked.

"I twisted my feet, don't worry about me, you go first."

"No, it's very dangerous for you to stay here alone." No one can guarantee that there are no wolf or the Black Blind. Since the wolf pack incident, although the wolf can't see it, the Black Blind Blind hurt people have occurred frequently.

"Li Siming handed over the gun to Xu Zijian, you can leave behind to protect Comrade Yang Yue." Platoon Commander Zhao sighed in his heart that he lost a general without knowing his skills. He was worried about keeping others.

"Yes!" Li Siming handed the gun to Xu Zijian. The others ran forward without returning.

Li Siming helped Yang Yue up and went to a sheltered place and rested for a while.

"Am I useless?" Yang Yue rubbed her ankles and suddenly asked.

"Well..." Li Siming didn't know how to reply.

"Don't hesitate, just say yes or no." The girl directly raised this question.

"I want me to tell you, you are young and able to give up the superior life of a big city and come to the Great Northern Wilderness to start a business hard. This is very brave. This is very useful. Who says it is useless? You have to ask whether our fifth company will agree, whether our 57th Regiment will agree, or whether hundreds of thousands of educated youth in the Great Northern Wilderness will agree!" Li Siming said.

"You really know how to fool!" The girl had tears in pain just now, but now she laughed out loud. She ignored Li Siming's surprised eyes and said to herself:

"I grew up in the military region. My father was a general and was awarded the title in 55 years. At the beginning of the "Go to the Mountains and the Countryside" movement, people of my age joined the army. Although they said they joined the army to defend the motherland, they actually knew that this was for others to see." It turned out that she was a child of a high-ranking official.

"Where are you, why are you here in the Great Northern Wilderness?"

"It's nothing, I just can't stand their style. People from other families can come here to endure hardships, so can I. I want to prove it to those people."

"Then do you regret it now?" Li Siming looked at the girl with a stubborn personality and felt a little impressed.

"I don't regret it, but sometimes I dream about my parents at night. What about you? You don't seem to care about anything."

"Of course. I came to experience life."

"It's like a musician who goes to folk songs to collect folk songs?"

"Yes. We are in harmony with the class masses, so we don't make it special."

"It seems that you are the only one in the whole company, happy all day long. Although other people speak very well, they have long been thinking about how to transfer back to the city."

"Because I think we can go back to the city after staying here for at most five years." Li Siming explained.

"Are you sure? Why."

"Gang of Four..." Li Siming felt that he was talking a little too much, and the girl did not ask questions. The two of them stopped discussing this issue in a tacit understanding.

After a moment of silence, the girl spoke again:

"What are your plans in the future? It's a pity that you promised to go to the armed company last time. Some people say you are stupid, while others say you are deliberately seeking fame and reputation."

"Whatever others say!"

"Do you have any objections to the army?"

"Of course not, not in the army, it is more suitable for me."

"The contribution of farming in the land is greater than that in the army?" the girl asked.

"You are such a 'problem girl'!"

"What girl? I'm older than you. You have to call me sister. Come on, call me sister and listen." The girl's words made Li Siming want to vomit blood, and you also called me?

It is quite far from the company, and the road is very difficult to walk. One person was injured and inconvenient to walk. The two decided to wait for dawn before going back. I don’t know how long they stayed, but they kept rubbing their hands and breathing. Fortunately, they were dressed neatly when they came out.

"I'm very happy to chat with you." The girl said.

"Why?" Li Siming was a little puzzled.

"Didn't you notice that no matter where you are, people always gather around you?" The girl observed it carefully, and Li Siming herself did not notice it. Thinking about it, this is true.

"Because, there is no pressure to be with you. You won't keep your quotes all day long, and you talk funny. You never mind those families in the middle of the family. Just say that Zeng Zhi in the second row has the highest family elements in his family. He always chats with you if you have nothing to do, right?" the girl continued to explain.

"You observed it very carefully." Li Siming was really impressed.

"That's right, I want to be a writer in the future. I don't know how to observe life, so how can I write." The girl was a little complacent.

"Then I look forward to reading Writer Yang's masterpieces as soon as possible!" The educated youth generation has produced a large number of outstanding talents, including writers. Liang Xiaosheng, know, famous writers! Jiang Kun, comedians! Pu Cunxin, drama and film stars! There are also a large number of entrepreneurs, bosses, and senior government officials.
