When the teaching team pre-received the squad leader after graduation, the company held a grand welcome ceremony, and the dishes were added that night.

Zhuang Yan came back this time and had nothing.

He took his luggage into the kitchen yard, and the squad leader Li Chuangcheng was lying on the bed. He turned his head and saw that it was solemn.

"Ouch! Hell this is!"

The thin Li Chuangcheng got up from the bed and wiped his eyes.

"Zhuangyan, are you back?!"

Zhuangyan nodded and said, "Yes, squad leader, I'm back."

"No, no! Don't call me the squad leader. You are a recruit. You are a good call when you are a recruit. Now you are all graduates from the teaching team and have been the coaching squad leader. This is much more advanced than me. In the future, you can call me Lao Li!"

Zhuang Yan said: "The company commander said that I would join the kitchen squad. You are the squad leader, so I'm right to call you the squad leader."

Li Chuangcheng was stunned for a moment and said, "The company commander had asked me before and said that he would come back to serve as the deputy in the kitchen team after he came back. Why..."

He seemed very surprised.

Why has this changed just two days ago?

Li Chuangcheng is not easy to guess what is wrong with it.

Zhuangyan smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know, maybe I'm not qualified."

Li Chuangcheng said: "Nonsense! Who is qualified if you are not qualified? Being a deputy of a kitchen squad is in vain. At first, you have no problem with being the squad leader of a squad leader. Look, Xu Xingguo is now the second squad leader and is preparing to take over the first squad leader. Yan Su that boy is now the seventh squad leader, Liu Ruiyong is the fourth squad leader. The ones who come back from your teaching team are now the backbone of the company."

Zhuang Yan didn't want to continue talking about this, so he changed the topic and said: "Squad leader, where is my bed?"

Li Chuangcheng suddenly turned red and said, "That's how it is..."

He looked around and seemed a little embarrassed.

"The kitchen team is full, the beds are full now, and I can't put them down any more. The company commander said, "You go to the place where the old squad leader Zhu Dekang used to live. The others have been discharged from the army and the house is empty. Don't worry, I didn't want you to raise pigs. There are breeders in the class now, so you don't have to worry about it. You just live there. The new camp of the regiment headquarters is in the completion stage. It is said that we will move in two months. If there is a big house, we will arrange for you to live there."

After thinking about it, he comforted him and said, "Actually, Zhu Dekang's house is not bad. He is alone on the hillside, free and no one cares about the internal affairs, right? If I hadn't been a kitchen squad leader, I would have moved it up."

"It's okay..." Zhuang Yan said: "I have lived there, and that place is pretty good."

As he said that, he carried his luggage and walked towards the door.

Li Chuangcheng chased after him while walking on Jiefang shoes, grabbed the yellow bucket from Zhuangyan's hand, and said, "Come on, I'll take you up, I'll let the soldiers clean up the hygiene. Just move in, you don't have to move anything. As for the matter of the kitchen team... If you want to take care of it, just keep it. If you don't, don't care, have me..."

The two walked all the way to the hillside and chatted all the way.

Li Chuangcheng began to introduce the changes in the Eighth Company over the past six months to Zhuangyan.

Chen Qingming was discharged from the army and Zhu Dekang was discharged from the army. The only veterans of the three years were Yin Xiancong.

Deputy Company Commander Li Ding has transferred his career. He was originally a low-level deputy company position in Lao Zheng Company, so he was promoted to the first level to transfer his career with the treatment of deputy battalion.

When Zhuang Yan heard that Yin Xiancong was still there, he was very happy.

This means that his affairs have been done. Since he stayed, it means that he has a great chance of getting promoted and even being admitted to the military academy. This is better than going directly to the exam.

I came to the familiar bungalow on the hillside and solemnly opened the door and entered.

The decoration inside is exactly the same as Zhu Dekang's previous one.

It’s just that things change, and the veteran is no longer there.

A faint sadness surged in Zhuangyan's heart. Zhu Dekang trained himself by one hand, and it can be said that he was his mentor. Without him, he would not be able to go to the teaching team.

At that time, I didn't expect that I would stay in the team, and thought I would return to the Iron Ba Company and leave his mailing address before Zhu Dekang retired.

Now that the person has left, the mailing address is gone.

"Squad leader, do you have any contact information for Zhu Dekang?"

"No..." Li Chuangcheng shook his head and said, "You don't know that he is a person who is a withdrawn person, doesn't interact with anyone, and has a weird temper, so he didn't leave anyone with any contact information when he left..."

The solemn heart sank.

This time, the contact was really broken.

Putting the things down, Li Chuangcheng rushed back to make lunch, so he didn't leave.

Zhuangyan made the bed himself and put the clothes from the backpack one by one into the old cabinet.

When I opened the cabinet, I suddenly saw a few big words of flying dragons and phoenixes painted in the cabinet door with a red ballpoint pen - the world is wide, let me fly!

Smiling solemnly.

This may be the handwriting of veteran Zhu Dekang, or perhaps he wrote it when he was discharged from the army, and it is also his expectation for the future.

The army is the soldiers who are fighting for the iron camp. The soldiers come and go again.

Everyone has their own purpose and ideals.

Some have been achieved, and some have not been achieved.

When I left, I would leave some bold words, as if I wanted to announce to the whole world - I have been here! I have fought! I have no regrets!

This is the green age.

After sorting out the things, Yan Su and Liu Ruiyong came to the door.

The three of them were all brothers who survived in the teaching team, and they naturally had a greeting when they met.

Among the people who went to the teaching team, Xu Xingguo was the only one who did not come.

Zhuangyan said: "Old Xu is still hating me, right?"

Seriously smiled, "Okay, you asked knowingly, your two of you have a big grudge. Now that you come back, I guess Mr. Xu will laugh at you. But I advise you to bear it and pretend that you didn't see it, don't bother with him."

Zhuang Yan was also happy and said, "Do you think I am like such a stingy person?"

Liu Ruiyong said: "It's better not to lead troops, it's hard to carry them! We have a lot of soldiers this year and there are few new recruits this year. After we get out of the company and get together with the veterans, it's difficult to train. The veterans will rest and they will rest, which is much more comfortable than before."

After chatting for a while, Yansu and Liu Ruiyong were going to lead the troops, so they said goodbye to Zhuang Yan for the time being. The three of them made an appointment to go to the small shop to buy some cooked food in the evening and come back to Zhuang Yan’s small bungalow to make a meal, which is to welcome Zhuang Yan back to the old company.

After the people left, they walked out of the bungalow solemnly and looked far away from the training ground.

Just like when he was a recruit, the training ground was full of energy, and he suddenly felt an unforgettable loneliness.

———————————————————————————————————————————————

ps: Say something off topic about veteran Zhu Dekang.

Here I want to talk about Zhu Dekang. This is a real character, whose name is blurred. He is indeed a veteran of pig farming in my old company. When I was a new recruit, he had already served in the fourth year of over-term service.

The situation described in the book is completely true. He guided me in my equipment gymnastics. Before joining the teaching team, I was able to do the seventh exercises skillfully and try eighth exercises, so he helped me a lot.

The reason I wrote Zhu Dekang out was because I really remembered him. Unfortunately, when I went to attend the old company gathering a few years ago, I asked about Zhu Dekang and the news I got was that he was dead.

It was suicide, because of business failure and life pressure, and I chose to go to a dead end.

What I want to say is that some people who come out of the army will succeed, and some will not be satisfied. However, I hope that every comrade in the army will be able to face everything with strength after leaving the army and entering society. We have survived such hard training, what else can we not bear?
