Chapter 3: Rejoining the Army is extraordinary

Zhu Xiangjun was reborn in the summer three years ago. Although the weather was hot, he felt very comfortable. Thinking about how he could be a soldier and become an officer across the century, would he not be excited?

Happy days always pass quickly. A few months have passed in a blink of an eye. The summer is gone and autumn is coming, and the bitter northwest wind brings winter to the world. It is time for new recruits to join the army again.

"Child! Can you get this quota for enlistment? The village director, but his son can go there. I think he won't give it to you. We have nothing to do with you. They are both big and small, and they are both the same official!" Zhu Xiangjun's mother said to him with some concern.

Zhu Xiangjun smiled and said, "Mom! Don't worry! I just need to get some gifts and make sure it's OK. Just wait for my good news!"

After Zhu Xiangjun said that, he happily went out to the convenience store in the village to buy two good cigarettes and two bottles of good wine, and walked towards the village director's house.

Everything was just about to happen. Zhu Xiangjun won the quota for enlistment, put on his military uniform again, and boarded a special train for the beautiful city in the south.

It took another twenty hours, and the recruit train that Zhu Xiangjun was riding on stopped once again at the train station when he came back.

It was five o'clock in the morning. Although this was a southern city, it was still very cold outside. After Zhu Xiangjun and his team got off the train, the military vehicles took them to the barracks again.

In just half an hour, the military vehicles carrying new recruits from various provinces and cities drove into his familiar military camp again. They stopped on the playground at the entrance of the magnificent auditorium.

Zhu Xiangjun jumped out of the car with his backpack excitedly.

"Ah! What a familiar thing! The auditorium is still so majestic, the two big pine trees in front of the door are still so green and tall. The green mountains and buildings in the distance are still beautiful. I finally come back. My beautiful military camp." Zhu Xiangjun looked at everything in front of him and felt a bit like a dream.

"Everyone is standing! You are standing! We are starting to divide the troops." A captain officer came to Zhu Xiangjun's group of new soldiers and shouted.

"Ah! Isn't this the battalion commander of our recruit battalion at that time?" Zhu Xiangjun was very excited. He knew that he would be assigned to the recruit company of the fourth battalion next.

"Zhu Xiangjun went to the recruit company of the Fourth Battalion!" The battalion commander began to name the three people who came from their hometown into three recruit battalions.

The village chief's nephew, Li Zhanguan, was assigned to the first battalion of recruit companies. Another neighboring village named Zhao Shan, was assigned to the third battalion of recruit companies.

Now all the recruits on the playground are divided into four parts, namely the recruits from the four recruit companies of the 1, 2, 3, and 4 battalions.

Next, Zhu Xiangjun knew that the squad leader of various recruit companies would come here to receive troops. He knew that the squad leader of his recruit company was a short, sturdy and slightly dark-skinned Hebei-level sergeant.

After a while, Zhu Xiangjun heard a "great" sound. As soon as he looked up, he saw several sergeants walking from a distance. One of them was snapping his fingers while walking. This was Zhu Xiangjun's new recruit company squad leader.

Now the squad leader came to the recruit company of the Fourth Battalion and looked at the recruits here, and then started calling for people. Zhu Xiangjun felt very kind to him when he looked at him. He still remembered that the squad leader was quite nice to him, maybe because they were fellow villagers! They were all more friendly to the fellow villagers in the army.

Now Zhu Xiangjun really wants to go up and shake hands with the squad leader, and ask him if he still knows himself or her, and he is a fellow villager! But he knows how can that be done, how can others know that he is a veteran! How can the squad leader know him! This is himself three years ago!

Zhu Xiangjun, Luo Xiaowei, Chen Darong, you three follow me. I am the squad leader of your recruit company. After that, he snapped his fingers at us and signaled us to follow him.

All of this is a repetition of life for Zhu Xiangjun, but it is the first time for others.

The squad leader now brought Zhu Xiangjun and the others to the new recruit company he was familiar with. He knew that he was temporarily assigned to the second platoon and fourth squad.

Zhu Xiangjun came to a large dormitory that he was familiar with turned left on the third floor. Here were three classes in the second row.

"Okay! I'm home, I'll divide the beds," the squad leader looked at me and said to the others.

"Zhu Xiangjun! You are here! Luo Xiaowei! You are on his upper bunk. Chen Darong, you are on that lower bunk." The squad leader began to divide the beds.

Zhu Xiangjun knew very well that he would be assigned to the lower bunk opposite the squad leader. Maybe the squad leader saw that Zhu Xiangjun was tall and thin and a little literary, so he let him live in the lower bunk. However, Li Xiaowei was very thin, so he let him sleep in the upper bunk. However, Zhang Darong was a little fat, so he also let him live in the lower bunk.

"Okay! You are tired from taking the bus. Let's take a break for two hours. I'll ask you to have lunch later. I'll go to bed and rest." The squad leader said and left.

After hearing this, Zhu Xiangjun went to bed and rested without saying anything. However, Luo Xiaowei and Chen Darong were very excited. They sat on the bed and started chatting.

After a while, the squad leader came back. When he saw them, he said, "Why are you still not sleeping!"

The Luo Xiaowei glanced at the squad leader and said, "We are not sleepy in the squad leader! Let's sit here and chat. You don't have to worry about us."

"What, don't worry about you. Your chat will not affect others' rest! You are not sleepy! You have to rest, too. This is an order. When you arrive at the army, you must follow the command. Do you understand!" The squad leader was a little angry.

Now these two guys had to "lie down" on the bed. Maybe they were still a little depressed. They thought that the squad leader was also meddling in other people's business.

Zhu Xiangjun is lying on the bed now. Although he feels a little tired, he is actually as excited as those two guys and has difficulty falling asleep. However, he knows the rules in this army, so he lies on the bed and thinks about his worries. Of course, the difference is that those two guys are very excited because they first entered the military camp. Zhu Xiangjun is even more excited because he is a once-in-a-lifetime "second entry into the palace".

Although Zhu Xiangjun was very excited, he didn't sleep after all night last night, so he slowly fell asleep without realizing it.

"Di-Di-Di-Di-Di-", Zhu Xiangjun was sleeping and suddenly woke up by the whistle."

"Hey! Get up! Get up! Get up! It's time to have a meal." The squad leader called them again.

Zhu Xiangjun knew it was time to go to the restaurant to eat noodles. The first meal when he arrived at the army was to simply eat a bowl of noodles, and there would be a decent meal at night. This is probably the living habits in the south! Dinner is the main meal.

After dinner, the squad leader took them back to the dormitory.

"Squad Leader Li! Come and smoke a cigarette from our hometown." Zhu Xiangjun took out a pack of famous cigarettes from his hometown from his body and gave it to the squad Leader.
