Li Zhongxin and Feng Banshan ordered four popular dishes, two bottles of Jianlibao and two large bowls of rice in the dining car.

Although the dining cart can run a small stove, there are only so many ingredients, which are basically the ingredients for popular dishes. If you want to make other better things, the chef will not be able to make such a taste without the ingredients.

Although the food was average, Li Zhongxin still felt that the meal was good, at least much better than eating instant noodles in the sleeper berth. You know, most people taking the train at this time were eating instant noodles.

Li Zhongxin saw that the grandfather and grandson next to him only ordered a vegetarian dish and two small portions of rice, and drank boiled water from a cup in the dining car. Li Zhongxin could tell from this subtle point,

The elderly are the kind of people who are more economical.

The white shirt the old man wore was very clean, not a big brand, and the trousers were the most common trousers of this era. However, the pen pinned to the white shirt was a Parker gold pen. And it was a top-notch one. Li Zhongxin had one.

I have never had two pens like that.

The old man's granddaughter looked like a college student or someone who had just graduated from college. Her clothes were very ordinary. Not only that, but this beauty probably didn't wear any makeup. It was basically natural, which made Li Zhongxin feel that it was eye-catching.

At this time, many girls had begun to learn how to put on makeup, and they spent a long time putting on makeup. Some even put on makeup so much that Li Zhongxin looked horrified.

Both the girl and the old man looked very elegant while eating. Li Zhongxin could feel that their cultural level must be very high, but Li Zhongxin could not guess where these two people were going to do.

After eating, Li Zhongxin and Feng Banshan didn't stay in the dining car for long, and went directly back to the sleeping berth from the dining car.

After Feng Banshan watched Li Zhongxin enter the sleeper, he went to the smoking area to smoke as he told Li Zhongxin.

Smoking was allowed on the trains at this time, and basically every carriage was filled with smoke, but! It was different from the 1980s. If you wanted to smoke at this time, you had to go to the connection between the two carriages.

Smoking, there is a smoking area set up there, and there is a special place to flick cigarette ashes. Smoking is no longer allowed in the carriage.

Taking the train at this time is the safest time, because people feel that the train is very stable at this time.

Planes fly in the sky, ships sail on the sea, the surroundings are empty, boundless, and cannot be touched. Moreover, most people have never flown on an airplane, and smoking is not allowed on airplanes. Therefore, most people like to take trains.

The train travels on the earth, being supported and lifted by the earth's thick embrace. No matter it travels through mountains and ridges, or it is a flat river, it has a solid support.

Wherever the train passes, there are densely populated cities and villages. Stations are connected with constant lights. There are endless signal lights, telephone poles, signs, and frequent trains on the road, such as passing trains, giving way to trains, picking up passengers, dropping off passengers, and carriages.

It is always crowded, noisy and full of human fireworks, so you will never feel lonely while riding in a car.

On the train, no matter where you are, you can chat together to pass the loneliness during the journey, but that's it! Sometimes if the people you meet don't like to talk, it will be a bit boring.

"Brother, you are a soldier, right? When I first saw you, I could feel the same breath. I was a tank soldier in 1979. What branch of the army are you in?" Feng Banshan was smoking.

Among them, he met a middle-aged man who was shorter than him but looked very strong. While smoking, he asked about Feng Banshan.

"I am a soldier. I was a scout when I was in the army. I joined the army a few years earlier than you, but I retired earlier." Feng Banshan said while looking at the honest-looking man opposite.

Feng Banshan knew in his heart that they looked like the same kind of people at first glance. That sentimental attitude of smoking, and that kind of vigilant behavior when meeting strangers could basically confirm that the other person was also a soldier.

"The scouts have a hard time. My former platoon leader was a scout, and later he was transferred to the tank division. His skills are top-notch." Liu Hongfei took a long puff of cigarette and puffed out the smoke while talking to Feng Banshan.

.

Liu Hongfei was envious of Feng Banshan's general appearance. Generally speaking, tall soldiers like Feng Banshan are usually better at fighting in the army. Especially since Feng Banshan was a scout, this proves that Feng Banshan's

The ability is quite big.

At this time, it can be said that scouts are one of the arms of combat units, not limited to the army, but found in all military units.

Their main mission is to go deep behind enemy lines, reconnoiter the location of enemy military targets, and capture enemy prisoners. Provide detailed geographical coordinates and damage conditions for our artillery and air strikes, long-range troop delivery, beach landings, etc. Other tasks include targeting

Before the launch of the battle, reconnaissance of the enemy's dynamics, providing target instructions for our own artillery, reconnaissance of the enemy's important military targets, conducting beheading missions when necessary, etc.

Scouts are required to have excellent military quality, physical fitness, and psychological quality. Scouts move more quickly and flexibly, and have higher requirements on individual soldiers' physical fitness, agility, and comprehensive combat awareness. It can be said that reconnaissance

Soldiers are special forces within the conventional forces. Before China established a formal special forces, scouts shouldered the mission of modern special forces to a certain extent.

"You've retired. You can't say you have any skills or abilities, but I'm quite curious. What do you tank soldiers usually do after you retire?" Feng Banshan asked curiously.

After scouts like Feng Banshan change their jobs, they go to the local police station or something to become policemen or firefighters. Relatively speaking, these places like to hire people like them, but Feng Banshan

I really don’t understand what tank soldiers can do after they change careers.

"For example, tank soldiers like us who have no connections are usually assigned to convoys in various places when they change jobs, or we wait for places to be resettled. In short, there are no good places for us. After we changed jobs, we were assigned to convoys under the Cargo Department of the Transportation Bureau.

Driving, now the Transportation Bureau is down and we are all laid off.

I went to visit my comrades in Hubei to visit them. When I come back, I plan to drive a truck or find some kind of driving job! It will be too difficult to become a soldier after changing careers." Liu Hongfei said to Feng Banshan with some frustration.

Got up.

This time their convoy at the cargo department was disbanded. He looked in many places but could not find a suitable job. When he went to his comrades in Hubei, there was no good way there, so he had to take the train back to Nancha.

See if you can find a similar job at home.
