The matter of Fu Ping'an joining the army has been decided. There are only a few days before the recruits are departing. The countdown for the days at home is coming. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be two years later to go home. Fu Ping'an seizes the time to say goodbye to everyone. He announced the news that he was about to join the army in the class QQ group, which attracted a lot of blessings. He went to Rococo Bar to say goodbye to Sister Qian. Chen Qian immediately said that he would hold a farewell banquet for his younger brother.

Life was fast, and it was the day of parting. Fu Ping'an received a lot of gifts, including Nike shoes and Philip's electric razors given by Sister Qian. Fu Dongmei prepared twelve pairs of underwear for him. Hu Dapeng said that the recruits company had no time to wash clothes, and the more underwear belts, the better. Is there any of this thing at home? The inventory sent by the light textile factory when it went bankrupt more than ten years ago, and it has not been sold out yet. There are also local specialties sent by other relatives, saying that they will be brought to the army to eat, but Fu Ping'an decided not to bring them all, and he left them to his younger brother for his Nike shoes because the army had no chance to wear them.

All the prospective recruits collected by Huaimen gathered at the railway station. Looking around, they looked blue and green. The navy was all blue. The air force was green on top and blue on the bottom. Green was newcomers to the army and the armed police. There was a clear difference between these two greens. Although the troops had changed their 07-style military uniforms, there were still a large number of old-style military uniforms that had not been consumed. The prospective recruits were wearing 87-style training uniforms. Fu Ping'an and his friends were wearing bloated green military uniforms, training hats, liberation shoes, and gathered in line. Each of them had a huge red flower on their chests.

The parents of the recruits were all isolated outside the fence. Fu Ping'an was searching in the crowd. Finally, he saw Fu Dongmei and Fan Dongsheng in a small corner, waving his hands desperately, but there were too many people in military uniforms. It was too difficult to identify his son. Fu Ping'an did not dare to wave his hands without authorization, so he could only take his eyes back because the officer leading the team was already issuing an order to drive.

This is a special train for recruits. Seeing the scenery outside the window, the hometown is moving away step by step, and the sad atmosphere begins to spread, but no one crys. The officers leading the soldiers are very experienced and lead everyone to sing. The songs are together, and the sadness is swept away. Fu Ping'an began to look forward to his military career. He remembered Kong Que's words and had to make plans for everything. Since he came to join the army, he had to be a top soldier, and he had to go to the military academy, promote and become an officer. He fantasized about the day when he put on his officer uniform, a second lieutenant or lieutenant, with flowers on the brim of his hat, it is best to meet Kong Que on the street...

Gradually, the carriage became quiet and the recruits were all stumbled in their seats to take a nap. Fu Ping'an's troops were on the northern coast. In the past, they had to take a day and a night of tank trucks when they went to the army. Now the EMU Harmony is here in four hours.

In the afternoon, when the train arrived, Hu Dapeng and several non-commissioned officers got off the train with their new recruits. When they gathered at Huaimen Railway Station, there were 2,500 new recruits. These new recruits were divided into several troops and rushed to all parts of the motherland, just like a surging river divided into countless streams.

More than a hundred new recruits got off the car, and three military-licensed buses were waiting for them. There was still a journey ahead. Someone asked the officer who led the team to arrive at what time, so he could call his home. Sun Peng said, "It will be there in a while."

Later they found out that what Sun Peng said was actually four hours.

The more the bus drove forward, the cooler the recruits' hearts. The scenery on both sides of the road was desolate and there was almost no green. Someone muttered: "It's not a place where birds don't shit."

Fu Ping'an silently said, "Crow's mouth, you may be right."

In the evening, the night was already dark, and the bus finally drove into the camp. Seeing the military camp gate with a huge five-pointed star and the gun guards standing at the same time on both sides saluting, everyone became excited again and finally arrived.

Fu Ping'an's impression of the military camp comes from the film and television dramas, the American semicircular dormitories, tall whistle towers, and jeeps whistling by. There are no such things as long walls and slogans on them, dim street lights, shadowy buildings in the darkness and straight poplar trees on the roadside.

A group of veterans came to greet the recruits. Fu Ping'an almost believed them when he saw their enthusiastic and kind smiles. But he heard Hu Dapeng say that only the day when the recruits are received is friendly. If you take this for granted, there will be a psychological gap later.

Fu Ping'an and two new recruits from Huaimen were pulled by a short squad leader who was hung on his shoulders. He took off the bags and kettles on their bodies and carried them on his back, and happily brought them to the dormitory. Their dormitory was a long blue brick house. Judging from the shape, it was probably a work from the 1950s. The windows and doors were all made of wooden and painted with mottled green paint. After entering, there were doors on both sides, one class and one house, six two-story shelf beds, and the beds were cleanly tidy. A north-facing window could vaguely see stars.

"This is the dormitory of our Class 5. My name is He Changsheng. It is your squad leader. Call me Lao He or the squad leader of the fifth class." The short squad leader helped them allocate beds and arrange good things, and took three new recruits to the cafeteria for dinner.

The cafeteria is very large and can accommodate hundreds of people to have dinner together. The recruits arrived one after another. Fu Ping'an and the others were the first batch. Squad leader He took them to their first meal after joining the army, egg noodles.

"Get into the bus and get off the bus. Did you eat dumplings before you come?" He Changsheng asked with a smile. The three recruits nodded like pounding garlic. They were really hungry and ate voraciously. There was no sign of the meaning hidden in the squad leader's smile.

"The watch is good." He Changsheng picked up Fu Ping'an's wrist and looked at the Lumenos military watch. Under the dim light, the luminous effect was obvious.

"Well, Brother Hu gave it to you." Fu Ping'an replied.

He Changsheng forced himself to say: "The recruits cannot wear watches, I will keep them for you." He held them back and said: "The recruits are training and struggle, so it is best not to wear such expensive watches."

"Yes." Fu Ping'an was not vague and immediately took off the watch and put it in his pocket.

After dinner, there was still some time before the lights were turned off. The squad leader took the recruits to collect personal belongings, including quilts and washbasins, and then went back to the dormitory to teach them how to organize their housework, how to place personal belongings, how to lay the bed and fold the quilts, and how to wear backpacks. The recruits were tired and could only remember a complete set of things. The veterans did not force them. Today's day was special, and they would only be able to train these recruits from tomorrow.

It was almost time to go to bed, and the squad leader made a shocking move, and he fed hot water to wash the new recruits' feet. The new recruits were flattered. This was not a military camp. It was just like he went to his grandma's house. Grandma was the one who doted on him the most, but the squad leader was unable to wash his feet. The squad leader looked angry and said that this was the tradition of the army. It was impossible not to wash it. The new recruits trembled and asked the squad leader to wash his feet, and began to wonder in his heart that this did not seem like a good omen.

The melodious lights finally sounded. The recruits who had been tired for a day were lying on the strange bed, their hearts fluctuated. Yesterday, they were still in their own bed, but today they had already arrived at the barracks thousands of miles away. No one could fall asleep peacefully. Some of them miss home, some miss their girlfriends, but they had their own worries and couldn't sleep until two or three o'clock in the morning.

Two hours later, at 5:10 a shrill whistle sounded, followed by the veterans' harsh urging: "Get together, get up quickly! Get up!"

The recruits were sleeping soundly, and they all got up sleepyly, and they had no time to wash their faces. They hurriedly put on their clothes, shoes and backpacks. After finally marching, the company commander of the recruit company appeared. It was Sun Peng, a cadre who went to Huaimen to receive troops. He walked around with a dark face and his face stretched longer.

These soldiers were simply terrible, as embarrassed as defeated soldiers who had fled for a thousand miles. Sun Peng looked around and found that only one of the new soldiers was doing well, dressed neatly and had a good backpack.

"Well~" Sun Peng didn't say anything, just nodded, but that was enough. Fu Ping'an and the fifth squad leader both received envious and jealous eyes.

Fu Ping'an is used to getting up early. He got up earlier than a chicken and went to bed later than a dog in his entire year of high school. Not to mention that after Hu Dapeng's guidance, on the first day of the army, he would inevitably have an emergency gathering early in the morning. This is called a warning.

Three months of life in the recruit company began. Fu Ping'an and their comrades were recruits from the Dongshan Governor Area. Dongshan Governor Area is a division-level coastal defense unit with three coastal defense regiments under its jurisdiction. Compared with the Marine Corps Airborne Armed Police Special Operations units, they are simply unable to make a name for themselves. Even if they are not ranked within the army, Fu Ping'an regrets it, but regret is useless. Since he comes, he can only be a phoenix in the flock of chickens.

The days of the recruit company are very monotonous and boring. Every day, they just keep training in queues, stand at attention, run together, salute, gather and distribute. It is not difficult for Fu Ping'an, and they can handle it without any brains. The squad leader knew that he was the soldier selected by Hu Dapeng himself, so he not only did not make things difficult for him, but also took special care of him. Who made Fu Ping'an the best soldier in the recruit company?

As the recruits gradually arrived, the teaching team's base became enthusiastic. Every day, the slogans on the playground were loud. Four recruits gathered together to struggle and gradually became a real soldier. When the first snow in winter came, these young people had calmed down from their initial excitement and got used to the life of the army.

There were four soldiers from Huaimen. Because the fifth squad leader He Changsheng was also from Huaimen, he was only from Huangtai County. Fu Ping'an and a man named Gu Lei were urban soldiers, and there was also a rural soldier named Sun Xiaomu. He was tall and big but extremely stupid. He walked in step by step. It took a lot of energy for the fifth squad leader to correct it. In short, all the bumps and bumps came.

The recruits were not allowed to use their mobile phones. Fu Ping'an turned off the Blackberry phone and hid it in the cabinet. He took it out at night and sent a message to his home to report his safety. The recruits were not allowed to smoke. Fortunately, he was not addicted to smoking, but Gu Lei, who had been experiencing in society after graduating from junior high school, was sad. He had been smoking for three years. Once he was caught smoking secretly, he was caught. The squad leader made him a cup of special "smoking tea" to cure his addiction.
