Everyone else entered the dining hall.

Tonight is the last day of staying in the teaching brigade, and the food is very rich.

The cooking squad leader went to the town early in the morning to buy vegetables. When he came back, he asked the district team below to send a squad to help bring today's food.

There are chicken, duck, fish, beer and drinks.

Today is the day for students to graduate, it should be a happy day and the most important day for the annual teaching brigade.

However, Zhuang Yan and Xu Xingguo were not happy at all.

Solemn and hard-working, he turned his head toward Xu Xingguo. He saw a pair of hatred eyes, like two sharpened awls, poking him unceremoniously.

Xu Xingguo walked towards the solemn step by step.

Zhuangyan can only stand in place and avoid it.

At that moment, the solemnity felt a magical feeling.

At some point, he even believed in the fatalism that was freely arranged in the dark.

I met Xu Xingguo from the train station on the first day of my service. I was a recruit company and a recruit platoon. I went to the teaching team together and was in the same squad.

This is fate.

Two days ago, the two were sitting in the back compartment of the truck, talking about their ideals, relatives, and hometown, and being intimate.

In a blink of an eye, Zhou Huping's order made the two stand opposite each other again.

"Xu Xingguo, come with me to the team headquarters."

Zhou Huping interrupted the confrontation between the two.

After they disappeared at the corner of the barracks, Wang Datong then pushed the hand to the monkey and said, "Let's go, go to have a meal."

Zhuangyan felt something stuck in her throat and wanted to speak but couldn't speak.

He stood there for a while before asking Wang Dazui: "Bigzui, do you think Lao Xu hates me so much?"

Wang Damou's big mouth opened, and it became O-shaped.

He was wrong until he said it himself.

Saying that Xu Xingguo does not hate the solemnity? Isn’t that going to make a fool of himself?

But if you want to say hatred, Zhuangyan may be sad.

He had to force Zhuangyan to walk towards the canteen, and comforted him as he walked: "It's no big deal, look at me, look at me, people like me are actually left in the team. The company commander of our company will definitely jump and scold me, saying that I am a traitor. From now on, I will never dare to step into the gate of the 273rd Regiment."

Zhuang Yan suddenly stopped and looked straight at Wang Datong and asked, "Big Mouth, I said I really didn't think about staying in the teaching team. Do you believe it?"

Wang Dazui said, "Believe it! Why don't you believe it? You see, I'm also confused and kept in the team?"

Zhuang Yan suddenly felt a little hot in the corner of her eyes, and endless sadness surged in her heart, saying, "But Xu Xingguo doesn't believe me, I think... my company commander won't believe me..."

Wang Dazui was stunned.

Zhuang Yan tells the truth.

He really didn't know how to comfort him.

...

In the small conference room of the squadron, Zhou Huping sat down in a chair, looked up to Xu Xingguo, who was still standing by the table, pointed to the chair opposite, and said, "Sit down."

Xu Xingguo's face was very red and his eyes were also a little red.

He sat down opposite Zhou Huping.

Zhou Huping took out a cigarette, took one by himself, and threw one for Xu Xingguo.

Xu Xingguo stubbornly said, "I don't smoke."

Zhou Huping thought about it and wanted to persuade him, but later he decided not to persuade him.

One cigarette was lit, and one-third of it was smoked, but the two of them still didn't speak.

Finally, Zhou Huping broke the silence: "Tell me, what do you think? If I can help, I will do my best."

Xu Xingguo's eyes that had been hanging down suddenly raised and said, "I want to stay in the team and stay in the teaching team to serve in the army."

Zhou Huping took a deep breath of cigarette and said, "No, you can't stay."

"Why?" Xu Xingguo's eyes turned redder, "Why am I not qualified?"

The white smoke had already covered Zhou Huping, and he said lightly: "You are the best soldier in your company. I can't keep you, otherwise I can't explain to your company commander."

Xu Xingguo couldn't help it anymore, and stood up quickly, his words trembled: "You are lying to others, you are making excuses! The teaching team wants to keep people, it is impossible that they can't keep them. You won't care what the company thinks!"

"I'm talking about the facts." Zhou Huping said: "No excuses."

Xu Xingguo asked loudly: "Then why did you transfer me to serve as a correspondent!? Why did you give me hope, and finally take away my hope!? If you didn't transfer me to be a correspondent from the beginning, I would never dare to think about staying in the teaching team as a squad leader! It's all your hopes!"

Zhou Huping still said in a calm tone: "That's right, I'm transferring you, but I have my reasons."

Xu Xingguo asked: "What's the reason!"

Zhou Huping pressed the cigarette butts out in the ashtray and looked up at Xu Xingguo for the first time.

He said: "Because you are the best trainer, you will be a correspondent and will not delay your training results. If you change to others, it won't work."

Xu Xingguo sat back in the chair dejectedly, and the man murmured, "Even Wang Datong can stay, but I can't stay..."

He laughed coldly twice.

Zhou Huping said: "You and Zhuang Yan are in the same company. You cannot leave two people in a company, so the division will not agree."

Xu Xingguo said: "Then why can we keep the solemnity? I can't do it? Which point is worse than him!"

Zhou Huping lit another cigarette and said, "He is not as good as you, so I asked him to stay and let you go back. This is fair to the Tieba Company."

"But it is not fair to me!" Xu Xingguo stood up again, "Captain Zhou, are you fair to me? Have you ever thought about my feelings?"

Zhou Huping remained calm: "I have thought about it and thought about it, so the outstanding students will give you compensation."

"That's what I deserve!" Xu Xingguo's tears finally couldn't hold back, and it flowed down, "I deserve the excellent student! In terms of training and style! How can I be worse than others?! This excellent student is mine!"

Zhou Huping was silent for a moment and didn't say anything again.

Finally, he stood up and said to Xu Xingguo: "Stay or not or not is the decision of the teaching team. What you need to be a soldier is to obey orders. If the teaching team does not keep you, it does not mean that you are not good, it just means that you are not suitable for here."

He walked to Xu Xingguo, patted his shoulder and said, "You will definitely make great achievements in the 273rd Regiment. I wrote your student files myself. The other appraisals of the entire squadron are written by documents. I am only responsible for the review. Yours is the best written and will be helpful to your work after you go back."

Seeing Xu Xingguo standing there blankly, he sighed and said, "Go down to have a meal, I'll have a drink with you."

After saying that, he left the conference room and disappeared at the entrance of the stairs.

Xu Xingguo stood there for a long time, and he didn't move, like a statue carved from a stone.

In the direction of the canteen, there was a "dry" sound, which was the wine call from the students who were drinking and cheering.

It was dark early in winter, with trees swaying outside the window, and the cold wind blew, and the wooden clips on the newspaper stand in the conference room collided with each other, making a lonely sound.
