Chapter 7 Things are getting more and more troublesome
Company commander He Mingyu and instructor Lao Lin personally found Duke, the sharpshooter of the guard company, "Duke, your class will have a new sharpshooter. I hope you can help him become familiar with sniper rifles as soon as possible."
"Yes! Company commander!"
"Well! Our seventh company of the 302nd Regiment is short of a squad leader, and the superiors want you to be the squad leader.
After all, you have been the deputy squad leader for almost two years."
"Thank you, company commander! Thank you, instructor!"
But I still want to leave our company after this competition."
"This..." Upon hearing Duke's request, company commander He Mingyu and instructor Lao Lin both looked at each other in embarrassment.
"Duke, this time we are going to send the new Jiang Changyi to participate in this competition."
"Ah? What?" Duke's eyes widened in surprise and he said in disbelief, "Company Commander, Jiang Changyi is just a recruit?
No matter how good his shooting skills are, it will be difficult for him to stand out in this competition, not to mention that he represents our entire security company."
"Well, Duke, your considerations make sense." Regarding Duke's worries and shock, the company commander and instructor nodded to express their understanding, "But leaders naturally have leaders' considerations, so we just need to execute it.
"
"Yes! Company commander!"
Suning was assigned to the third squad of the first platoon of the security company. As soon as he entered the third squad, he knew his next mission. Seeing the unhappy sniper deputy squad leader Duke, Suning sighed helplessly.
As a new recruit who has just come to report, he has not yet been recognized by everyone, and he is forced to accept that he represents them in the competition. Their mood must be quite complicated.
However, in this army of iron-clad camps and flowing soldiers, this phenomenon is the most common, so the first thing the army requires everyone to learn is to obey.
"Jiang Changyi!"
"arrive!"
"I am your squad leader Liu Ming."
"Hello, monitor!"
"Well, next you need to familiarize yourself with the sniper rifle as soon as possible with the deputy squad leader Duke.
I hope you can win honors for our class and our guard company in the next competition."
"Yes! Monitor!" Suning responded loudly, "I promise to complete the task successfully."
In the following days, Deputy Squad Leader Duke, a veteran, personally guided him. Suning, who was already good at marksmanship, made rapid progress. After applying for several live-fire target shootings, Deputy Squad Leader Duke no longer questioned Suning.
In the mid-1970s, the so-called sniper rifle was just a Mosin-Nagant rifle. It was not until the late 1970s that we had a real sniper rifle, so the army especially expected sharpshooters.
"Jiang Changyi, you are one of the few good soldiers I have ever seen. I hope you can continue to work hard without being arrogant or impetuous."
"Deputy monitor, I will do it!
"Well, seeing how strong you are, I can feel free to report to the new class."
"Ah? Vice squad leader, didn't I say you wouldn't leave until after the competition?"
"Haha, the reason why I proposed to leave after the competition is because I want to continue to be your substitute." Vice squad leader Duke looked at Suning with a smile and explained, "Since you are so strong now, I should be able to leave.
"
"I'm sorry, deputy squad leader!" Suning was still a little ashamed. After all, the change was due to his arrival. "If it hadn't been for my arrival, you wouldn't have left the guard company."
"Haha, I am leaving this time to be the squad leader. This is a real promotion." Seeing the ashamed Suning, Duke laughed, "And our army is constantly changing, so that we can continue to
Keep fighting."
"Deputy monitor, I wish you a bright future!"
"Thank you! This competition has given us a good result, and it has also made everyone recognize your strength as the King of Soldiers."
"Yes! Deputy squad leader!"
Seeing that the deputy squad leader Duke left, Suning once again threw himself into training. Because sharpshooters were fed with bullets, Suning was quite satisfied during the period before the game.
...
Suning's physical fitness is definitely that of someone who has passed the test in the military. When he stood at the competition site and picked up the Mosin-Nagant rifle in his hand, he once again felt that blood connection.
Suning knew that this was a magical skill from the gun god Xu Haifeng, and he also knew that today was the critical moment for him to leap over the dragon's gate. After all, there were many big bosses from the Ningbo base paying attention to the stage.
As long as he can make a splash this time, he will definitely leave a mark on the big shot's heart, and his future will be smooth, and he will no longer need to be a "scheming man" to absorb nutrients from the Jiang family.
"Bang bang bang bang bang"
With five crisp gunshots, Suning lived up to expectations and won the first place in shooting at the Navy Competition. He truly confirmed his honor as a sharpshooter. When Suning stepped onto the podium, an old man in the leadership group was surprised.
He looked at Suning's dark face.
The old man saw the number of Suning's unit, and then called the leader of the 302nd regiment, "Xiao Meng, is this kid from your regiment?"
"Yes! Leader!" The leader of the 302nd Regiment replied with a smile, "This soldier's name is Jiang Changyi."
"Jiang Changyi?" The old man's thoughts returned to the military academy era again, and then he unconsciously remembered the two funny names, "Jiang Changlong? Jiang Changfeng? Then he belongs to Jiang Defu?"
"Yes! Leader! Jiang Changyi is Commander Jiang's son."
"Hey! This Lao Jiang, his son is in my army and he didn't even say hello to me in advance."
"Leader, when the game is over, would you like to call him over?"
"Well, they must be tired from the competition today." The old man heard Captain Meng's suggestion and thought about it for a while. "Tomorrow happens to be the weekend. I will ask my driver to drive to your regiment headquarters to pick him up."
"Yes! Leader!"
After Captain Meng left, the old man looked at the familiar black face again, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, "It really looks like it! It's a complete replica of Jiang Defu!"
The next day, Suning was called to the regiment headquarters, and then got into a GAZ 69 military vehicle in confusion. When the military vehicle came to a stop in a villa area, Suning realized that it was probably the influence of his "father" Jiang Defu.
To be honest, Suning was really at a loss at this time. After all, the favor he owed to the Jiang family was getting bigger and bigger, which was not necessarily a good thing for him, nor was it in line with the principles of life he always liked.
In the original drama, Jiang Defu hated this "son". Suning guessed that he only helped him contact the military enlistment procedures, so that he could continue Jiang Changyi's "scheming" with confidence and boldness. Unexpectedly, he might have been wrong in his prediction.
The driver took Suning into the villa, and then saw an old man and an old woman in a wheelchair, looking at him with a smile, "Jiang Changyi, I am Li Zhicheng, an old classmate of your father Jiang Defu."
"Uncle Li, hello!"
"Haha, Changyi, this is your aunt."
"Hello, aunt!"
"Okay! Okay!" The old woman in the wheelchair was also smiling, and then she kept looking at Suning's dark face, and then looked at Li Zhicheng in surprise, "This kid looks so much like Lao Jiang!"
"Yes! Yesterday at the skills competition, as soon as I saw Chang Yi's dark face, I guessed his relationship with Lao Jiang." Hearing his wife's emotion, Li Zhicheng couldn't help remembering his surprise yesterday.
The resident laughed, "This Lao Jiang, his son is serving as a soldier under my command, and he doesn't even say hello in advance."
"Changyi, when your Uncle Li and your father were studying at the artillery school, I also stayed at the artillery school for a while." Perhaps seeing Suning's doubts, Li Zhicheng's wife explained with a smile.
"Oh! So that's it!"
"Changyi, come and sit here." Li Zhicheng quickly pushed his wife and then called Suning to sit on the sofa in the living room.
"Thank you uncle, how about I push auntie!"
"Haha, okay!" Seeing Suning actively asking for help, Li Zhicheng and his wife were all smiling.
Li Zhicheng's wife patted the back of Suning's hand, then said with a smile, "Changyi is so sensible!"
The three of them had just sat down when a girl wearing an apron came out of the kitchen and placed tea in front of the three of them, "Please drink tea!"
"Ah? It's you!" Suning couldn't help but look at the girl in surprise.
"Ah?" The girl was actually very surprised.
Looking at the two people who were surprised at each other, Li Zhicheng and his wife also looked at each other in surprise. When Xiaolin returned to the kitchen again, Li Zhicheng looked at Suning with a smile, "Changyi, do you know Xiaolin?"
"Eh? Uncle Li, I met her in the recruit company some time ago." Suning heard Li Zhicheng's question and quickly explained with a smile, "I also bought a complete set of middle and high school textbooks from her at that time."
"Oh? Why are you buying textbooks?"
"Uncle, aunt, I just graduated from junior high school, so I want to learn some culture by myself while I have time."
"Well, not bad!"
"Changyi, Xiaolin is the nanny hired by our family." Li Zhicheng's wife also explained with a smile, "As you can see, my aunt is physically inconvenient and your uncle is usually busy at work, so I asked Xiaolin to come to my house to help."
"Oh! So that's it." Suning then showed a clear expression, "I thought she was the daughter of my uncle and aunt."
Hearing Suning's words, Li Zhicheng and his wife showed sad expressions, "Your uncle and I only have one daughter. She has been blind since she was a child, so she has been staying in her room."
"Ah? Is there any possibility of recovery?"
"Hey! Several major hospitals have tried it. They said it was a problem with the cornea. Some time ago, through some connections, I was sent to Hong Kong for surgery, but the surgery failed."
"ah?"
"Forget it! Stop talking about unhappy things." Li Zhicheng changed the topic with a smile, "Changyi, this will be your home from now on. You must come and visit often when you are free."
"Yes! Uncle! I will definitely do it."
After a while, it was time for dinner, and then Suning also saw Li Zhicheng's daughter who was being helped out by Xiao Lin. She was wearing a pair of big sunglasses, which almost covered half of her face, making it difficult for others to see how she looked.
.
"Qian Qian, this is your brother Jiang, the son of your father's schoolmate."
"Brother Jiang, hello!"
"Hello!" Hearing this girl's name, I was so surprised that I almost bit my tongue.
"Aunt, what's your sister's name?"
"Qianxi, Li Qianqian! What's wrong?"
"Haha, it's nothing!" Suning reacted and quickly explained with a smile, "It's just the same nickname as one of my former classmates."
"Oh? What a coincidence!" The person asking was the invisible Li Xixi, "Then where is she now?"
"Huh? You should be married in your hometown, right?"
At the dinner table, Li Zhicheng once again recalled his years in the artillery school, and then told Suning a lot of embarrassing things about Jiang Defu, except for the joke about "washing her husband three times". Maybe it was because Suning was just a child and it was not suitable to discuss the elders.
Secret things.
Xiao Lin, a farm girl who had a relationship with Suning, also sat at the table to eat, but she kept her head down while eating, and occasionally helped Li Zhicheng's daughter pick up the vegetables.
Suning did not have any communication with Xiao Lin at the dinner table. After all, the two were not acquaintances. After dinner, Li Zhicheng asked the driver to take Suning back.
"Old Li, that's not right!" Li Zhicheng's wife in the wheelchair suddenly looked at Li Zhicheng in confusion, "I remember that the eldest son of Jiang Defu and An Jie is named Jiang Guoqing. The name seems to have been given by the principal's wife, right?"
"Well! This Jiang Changyi is the son of Jiang Defu and his ex-wife. He has been living with his ex-wife in his hometown." Li Zhicheng explained to his wife with a wry smile.
"Ah? Didn't Jiang Defu say that he and his ex-wife had no children?"
"Hmph! Who knows!" Li Zhicheng also shook his head helplessly, "Back then, Jiang Defu and Lao Ding were the most troublesome in the artillery school, and now they have become relatives."
"Relatives?" Li Zhicheng's wife was even more surprised, "How could they become relatives?"
"Haha, didn't Old Ding's ex-wife pass away?
Then when Lao Ding went to work on Songshan Island, he married Jiang Defu’s sister Jiang Dehua.”
"Ah? Jiang Dehua?
Is that the sister-in-law who always likes to yell?"
"Yeah! That's her!"
"Oh my god! This is amazing."
"Haha, yes!
Fate is so wonderful."
...
Xiao Lin sent Li Qianqian back to the bedroom, and when he was about to turn around and leave, he was stopped by Li Qianqian, a blind girl wearing sunglasses, "Xiao Lin, why do I feel that you are a little absent-minded today?"
"Ah? Is there any?"
"Haha, Xiaolin, are you hiding something from me?"
"No! Absolutely not!" Xiao Lin was also worried that Li Qianqian would misunderstand, so he simply gritted his teeth and explained what happened today, "It's the guest who came to your house today. I've met him before, and I even blackmailed him for one dollar and fifty cents."
"Ah? What's going on? Tell me quickly." Although Li Qianqian couldn't see, her curiosity was still very strong.
"Eh? Actually, it's nothing." Looking at the curious Li Qianqian, Xiao Lin had to explain, "Some time ago, I took leave to go home, and I met him at the Xinhua Bookstore in our town to buy middle and high school textbooks. I thought
I have an old set myself, and I want to sell it to him cheaply."
"Oh? And then you asked him for one dollar and fifty cents?"
"Well! I'm worried that if your father, Political Commissar Li, finds out, he will fire me directly."
"Haha, no!" Li Qianqian couldn't help laughing, and then shook her head indifferently, "It's not a big deal for you, my parents will never care."
"Well! That's good!" Xiao Lin breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this job is really important to her.
"By the way, what does this Jiang Changyi look like?"
"Eh? It's hard to say." Thinking of Suning's black face, Xiao Lin felt a little embarrassed. After all, Suning was also a guest of the Li family.
"Hey! There's nothing bad to say about this.
If it looks good, it looks good; if it doesn’t look good, it doesn’t look good.”
"He is too dark, just like the dark Bao Gong in storytelling. He is not good-looking at all." Xiao Lin gritted his teeth and revealed Suning's true appearance.
