"Comrades, first of all, on behalf of the *** troops, I would like to extend a warm welcome to your arrival. You have actively responded to the call of the motherland and chosen to wear this military uniform. This is your glory. Why do you wear big red flowers on your chest before setting off?

Because this is glory, but glory is not just words. Since you have chosen this military uniform, you should know that it represents responsibility. It is the responsibility of our soldiers to protect our homes and our country.

There is a saying that we all have learned: when God is about to entrust a person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind, work his muscles and bones, and starve his body. This means that if God wants someone to take on a heavy responsibility, he must first let his body

The mind suffers, the muscles and bones are tired, and the body and skin starve. We don’t need everyone to endure hunger. On the contrary, the country will provide the richest and most nutritious food to everyone, but we need everyone to use their bodies to

Strengthen ourselves and make our character stronger.

From now on, you are facing a completely different world than before. I guarantee that this experience will definitely be the most unforgettable memory of your military career and even your life! I hope you will cherish this precious military career, comrades,

I hope that every new comrade will have the courage to challenge and defeat themselves. I believe that everyone will be able to break out of their cocoon and become a butterfly and become a man!

Company Commander Yu's speech made the recruits excited. Some even clenched their fists and only had to raise their arms and shout.

Zhang Jun went to join the army, and Zhang Qiang and Wang Ying's family suddenly seemed to have lost a lot of people.

The school year started on September 1st, and Shi Ke immediately entered into intense study.

The messenger room at the entrance of the school also collects letters. When a letter comes, the uncle of the messenger room will put the letter on the window sill and let the recipient pick it up. This is because Zhang Jun promised when he left that he would send the letter, but he didn't.

It was decided whether to send it to the school or to the transportation team, so every day when passing by the communication room, Shi Ke would look at the window sill.

Today, Shi Keli saw several letters on the window sill from afar. She had a hunch that there must be a letter belonging to her among them, because with her 10-point vision, she could vaguely see that the names of the recipients were two.

characters, and the shape is similar to my own name.

Sure enough, it was indeed his letter, but what was strange was how there were two letters. Shi Ke carefully looked at the sending address. One was from Shandong and the other was from Henan. The Shandong letter must be from Jun Zige.

, there is no mistake, then who could it be from Henan? With strong curiosity, Shi Ke opened the letter from Henan first.

"Shi Ke, I really didn't expect you to actually see me off."

As soon as she saw this sentence, Shi Ke guessed who it was. She didn't continue reading, and turned to the last page to verify her guess. Sure enough, the signature was Qiu Ling.

Who is going to see you off? I am full and full and will go see you off!

Shi Ke read the letter roughly at a glance and muttered in his mind, "Crazy, who the hell are you for asking me to grow my hair long and send photos!" Then he tore it into pieces and threw it into the trash can.

Brother Jun Zi's letter was thick. I wonder how many interesting things happened in their army. Shi Ke opened the letter sent by Zhang Jun with anticipation.

"Keke, I have arrived at the army safely. You go back and tell my mother that everything is fine here and let her not worry about it. There is a letter I wrote to her in the letter. You can go back and give it to her when you get home.

No wonder it was so thick. It turned out that there were two letters inside. Shi Ke opened it and looked at it. There was a thin page attached, which was full of words of safety. The letter to himself was much thicker. After counting,

, with four full pages.

"The cafeteria in our army is very big, much bigger than the one in our school. It has everything you can eat. I was so full on the first day I arrived.

This is a beautiful place, with mountains and water. The mountains here are very strange. Almost every mountain has a small peak. The locals call it 'Gu'. The only drawback here is that the mosquitoes are too big.

, I went to the toilet the day I first arrived, and at first I thought the things flying around me were flies. When I looked carefully, I was surprised to find that they were big mosquitoes. This may be because our company is on a hillside with many trees.

"The more grass there is, the bigger the mosquitoes will be. There is also a mosquito that is about the same size as ours, but it has black and white spots. It is said to be an imported mosquito."

"Pfft." Shi Ke just saw the imported mosquitoes and couldn't help laughing. He had heard about imported food and imported electrical appliances, but he had never heard of imported mosquitoes.

"Keke, you also laughed, didn't you? I also laughed when I first heard about imported mosquitoes. I was wondering why mosquitoes should be imported? Later, after listening to someone's explanation, I found out that it turns out that these mosquitoes lay their eggs into wood. We import wood.

If you bring them in, don’t they become imported mosquitoes?

Also, the green trees on the roadside here are different from those over there. The ones we plant on the roadside are all poplars. Here, there are French plane trees on both sides of the road. The name sounds related to France. Maybe the tree species are from France.

, the leaves of this tree are quite large, and they also produce small balls that hang on the tree like lanterns, but they cannot be eaten.

The place where I am staying now is called the Recruit Company. We will train here for three months before being assigned. We have just started to train the formation and physical fitness. You know the formation, we practiced it when we were in physical education class, but the standard is much higher than that time, and the physical fitness

We are temporarily required to run 3,000 meters within fifteen minutes, otherwise we will fail. I heard that there will be another 5 kilometers in the future."

3000 meters! Shi Ke was stunned. I couldn’t hold on for 800 meters. I was scared just thinking about 3000 meters.

"These are all trivial to me. You also know me. Even though my cultural achievements are not very good, I am good at sports. All the certificates I have earned are related to sports. I am now looking forward to when I can teach us how to shoot.

.

What worries me the most is tidying up the housework. As you know, at home my quilts are all made by my mother, but that’s not the case in the army. The army requires quilts to be folded into tofu blocks, which are real tofu blocks, horizontal screen.

It was vertical and angular, and I checked it every day. You don’t know, but it ruined my worries. Not only was I worried, but my comrades in the dormitory were also worried. No matter how they were stacked, they were not straight. Later, I tried all kinds of solutions, and some of them worked.

The bench is pressed and flattened and then folded. Some people sprinkle water on the quilt to make the quilt less fluffy before folding it. I didn't bother with that. I folded a standard tofu block and put it there. I don't cover myself with the quilt when I sleep at night.

clothes, it’s not cold now anyway.”

Hearing Zhang Jun's tone, he knew that his cleverness was wrong again. Shi Ke was a little worried. If it's hot now, you don't need to cover yourself with a quilt. What if you don't cover him with a quilt when it gets cold? Then you won't be freezing? No, he wrote a letter later.

say him.

Since her son left to serve in the army, Cui Yunxiang has counted her fingers every day to calculate the time for her son's letter to arrive. She counts the days and the letter should arrive. She has to go to the team's communication room to read it every day.

Today was the same as usual. After Cui Yunxiang took care of her youngest son to go to school, she began to walk to the team.

Wang Daofu was distributing today's newly arrived newspapers. He placed a large can bottle in the upper right corner of the table with half a bottle of tea brewed in it. Looking at the tea alkali stains on the bottle, you can tell that the bottle has a long history.

Wang Daofu picked up the bottle and took a sip of tea water. When he looked up, he saw Cui Yunxiang walking here. He knew that Cui Yunxiang must have come to ask if there was any letter from her home.

Wang Daofu stuck his head out of the window and said to Cui Yunxiang: "Aunt Cui, there is still no letter from your family today."

Cui Yunxiang's expectant expression immediately disappeared without a trace, and she said resentfully: "I think this little bastard has been fed in vain. He has not known how to send a letter home for so many days."

Wang Daofu comforted him with a smile, "Maybe the children are busy and haven't had time to write letters. They are new recruits who are busy training every day when they go to the army. I must be very tired. I have to seize the time to rest when I have some time. How can I have time to write letters."

Hearing Zhang Daofu say that new recruits would be so tired, Cui Yunxiang felt distressed again and asked worriedly: "Master Wang, will new recruits be so tired when they first join the army?"

Zhang Daofu nodded, "I guess I can't take it easy. When I was a young man in the army, I didn't get used to it at first. I wrote letters home complaining that I was tired."

"Oh." Cui Yunxiang frowned, "Master Wang, you are busy, I will leave first."

Wang Daofu said politely, "Why don't you come in and sit for a while?"

Cui Yunxiang waved her hand, "No, you're busy."

Not receiving any information from her son, and worrying that her son would suffer hardships in the army, Cui Yunxiang couldn't muster up her energy to work. She was distracted and out of shape, and even cooked the vegetables at noon.

After school was over at noon, Shi didn't go back to his home first, but went directly to Cui Yunxiang's house. Cui Yunxiang had just put out the dishes and was scrubbing the bottom of the pot with a small broom.

Shi Ke opened the door and shook the letter in his hand with a smile, "Mother Cui, there is a letter from Brother Junzi."

Cui Yunxiang was eager to see her son's letter. She was pleasantly surprised. She threw the broom into the pot and walked over. She didn't even bother to wipe the water stains on her hands and grabbed the letter.

In his hand, he said, "Show me quickly. I was just saying that it's time for this kid to send a letter. You don't know, I've been to the team several times."

"Brother Junzi sent the letter to the school. I just received it today." Shi Ke stood next to Cui Yunxiang, pointing to the words on the letter and said: "Brother Junzi said that he is doing well in the army, so you can rest assured."

"Yeah."

Cui Yunxiang read the short page in the blink of an eye. She read it again, but it was still not enough. She couldn't help complaining and said: "It's true that your brother Junzi finally wrote these few letters to my family."

Not even a word about how it is in the army or whether training is tiring."

Shi Ke hurriedly took out Zhang Jun's letter to himself from his pocket, "Brother Junzi also wrote to me. He said he was not tired. Cui Niang, take a look."

Holding the letter, which was much thicker than her own, Cui Yunxiang was jealous and cursed in her heart, "The magpie has a long tail. He forgets his mother after marrying his wife. You little bastard, don't do it before you marry his wife."
