Chapter Ninety: It's been annoying lately

When I returned to the team, I quickly washed up and went to the cafeteria for breakfast. On the way, I saw Lu Sen calling under a tree by the side of the road. I couldn't help but feel funny: This guy ran so far when he made a phone call! Is there anything shameful? When I got closer, I vaguely heard him say "Beijing Garrison District" and the word "assignment". I suddenly realized, yes, I'm about to graduate, and many people are beginning to consider their future. This is the social reality. When our military academy students graduated, they must find ways to go, otherwise no matter how lucky you are, at most, you can go to a medium-sized unit, that is, those who choose the remaining units are relatively good.

"Beijing Garrison"! My heart suddenly jumped, and my thoughts suddenly returned to my dream...

On the evening of June 26, a tense atmosphere filled the air of the team club, and Zhutou was announcing the graduation assignment order to the graduate students:

"Rusen!"

"arrive!"

"The XX Infantry Division of the X Group Army of Lanzhou Military Region."

...

The scene was quiet. Lu Sen stood there for a while without reaction. Pig Head frowned and said:

"Lu Sen, come up and receive your report notice and administrative introduction letter!"

Lu Sen came to his senses. I was sitting in the first row. When I turned around, I saw Lu Sen's expression in a daze. After the order was announced, the whole team was in a mess. Some were smiling for a good unit, and some even shed pain because they went to the border. In the corridors and in the open space downstairs, there were graduates everywhere, holding their mobile phones to call their homes to report the flood. Lu Sen stood alone in the corner smoking a smoke. I had recovered from that fanatic state at that time. I walked over and asked softly:

"Lu Sen, the unit is not ideal?"

Lu Sen raised his head, shook his head, smiled bitterly, and I asked:

"What's wrong?"

Lu Sen said: "My quota was squeezed...I found a relationship and went to Beijing Garrison District..."

I was stunned for a moment and said, "It seems that we are allocated to the Beijing Garrison alone, it seems..."

Rusen interrupted me and said, "Stop talking, he just squeezed my place."

The quota assigned to graduation is specific to the major, which means that there are 55 students in the entire company, including 55 places, one carrot and one pit.

Lu Sen took a sip of cigarette and said, "I asked someone to ask for this quota from above. We didn't have a quota to go there for our major. I looked for a relationship at the headquarters to change it. I didn't expect someone to get a bargain..."

I asked, "You mean he is in the academy..."

Lu Sen said: "Yes, it must be the college's cadre department that has been tampered with. After I wanted to have a quota, the unit there sent a letter and asked me for a name! Damn, I thought it was fine, so I didn't go to the cadre department to pay tribute. I didn't expect someone to take advantage of the loophole..."

Later, I heard that the comrade who was assigned to the Beijing Garrison District was troubled as soon as he went there, and finally he was assigned to a company in a mountain valley in the suburbs of Beijing. No wonder, the person he called the person he wanted was not given to the school and assigned to others. Anyone would feel unhappy. However, Lu Sen went to the Lanzhou Military Region like this and there was no room for negotiation after the order was announced. I heard that his family even bought a house in Beijing, so he was waiting for him to assign a job. Unexpectedly, such a thing would happen.

Now history seems to be developing according to the original trajectory. Lu Sen is contacting the unit, and it is also the Beijing Garrison District. I wonder if he will experience a psychological gap from great joy to great sorrow in a few months...

"Changfeng, why are you staring at here? Are you not going to have breakfast?"

It was Lu Sen, full of spring breeze. I guess the work of the unit was a little surprised. I experienced the pain of a foresighted man again. I looked at him with some pity and said:

"Eat! Why don't you eat! Let's go together!"

After breakfast absent-mindedly, until I returned to the dormitory, I was thinking about the graduation assignment. Even the units with more than 50 people in the room flashed through my mind one by one. I thought of Feng Dongmin, Lu Sen, who was stationed in the border, and Zhang Qing, who was separated from his girlfriend... Finally, I thought of myself, where is my future? Although I have been back, I am still extremely confused about my future. Beijing? Fuzhou? Where is what I need? Thinking of my grandfather's words, I felt even more confused. He was wholeheartedly thinking about me, but I was still thinking about returning to Fuzhou...

The duty officer blew the assembly whistle and it was time to take the class away. Our graduating class also had to take it to their respective design venues. Then I got up and went out and shouted:

"gather!"

After the queue was completed, I said, "Each class checks people!"

The number of people reported in each class was all arrived, I said:

"In the morning, my uneasyness has delayed everyone's precious time. At the same time, as a political instructor, I actually want to hit someone. Here, I will do a self-examination first and apologize to Comrade Kang Junfei."

The comrades in the queue began to whisper, as if they felt incredible for my apology to Kang Junfei. Kang Junfei also looked at me in surprise, as if he didn't believe his ears. I waved my hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued:

"At the same time, I want to seriously criticize Kang Junfei. As a soldier, a future officer of the Republic, he has a loose style! I am not good at physical fitness and I am procrastinating when training, like something! In similar situations, I don't want to have a second time, and I don't want to see other comrades do like him!"

"complete!"

My comrades stood at attention, so I took the team to the entrance of the library and disbanded, asking them to go to their respective design sites or go to the library to check information. I walked aside and took out my cell phone to call Mr. Zhong:

"Hey!" Old Zhong's voice was always so tough, and at the same time he exuded a sense of majesty.

"Grandpa, it's me, Changfeng..."

Grandpa smiled happily and said, "Changfeng! Why haven't you contacted Grandpa for so long?"

I said embarrassedly: "This... you just took office... you must be very busy, I'm embarrassed to disturb you!"

Grandpa smiled and said, "What are you talking about? What are you talking about? I'll talk to you for a while. Is there no one in charge of the Chinese army and it's just a mess? It's impossible! Haha!"

Grandpa continued, "What's wrong this time? You won't be in trouble again!"

I quickly said, "No! No! I... I'm a little confused and want to talk to you..."

Grandpa said with interest: "Oh? Tell me!"

I said, "It's about graduation assignment..."

Grandpa interrupted me in surprise and said, "Didn't I say it? Just come to the headquarters directly after graduation. It is beneficial to your development. And in my control, no one dares to be unfavorable to you."

I said distressedly: "But I want to go back to Fujian, Grandpa, I can't be under your protection all my life. I still... still want to make a breakthrough by myself..."

After saying that, I waited for my grandfather to speak anxiously. I was afraid that he would be unhappy, so I arranged everything for me and I was still whining. Grandpa pondered for a long time and asked:

"Changfeng, have you thought it through?"

I made up my mind and said without hesitation: "Yes, actually, the last time you talked about this, I didn't want to go to Beijing... But before I could say it, your secretary came in."

Grandpa said, "Well, it's really beyond my expectations that you would think like this. In fact, it's good for you to improve your own quality. There is no problem with this. The key is that I'm worried that you will be hurt, and the army will be as surging as the local area! And you offended the Wang family, who will be vengeful..."

I said, "The Wang family's good days shouldn't be too long..."

Grandpa said: "They have been restrained a lot recently, and they are about to move, but as the saying goes, "The centipede insect will die without being stiff." As long as they still have great power, they may endanger you at any time. You can only be absolutely safe within my sight, do you understand?"

Grandpa still didn't agree with me when I went back, so I said helplessly:

"Grandpa, then don't decide now. In a few months, the situation may change again. I know you are thinking about me, but you know, in fact, it's the same for me as a unit. It's just a superficial article... So, if the situation allows, I still hope to go back to my hometown..."

Grandpa smiled and said, "Changfeng is still a home-loving child! Haha, okay, don't rush to make a decision. Let's talk about it when graduation is approaching. Don't worry, I will respect your opinions, haha!"

When I heard my grandfather laughing, I knew he was not angry. I said happily:

"Yeah! Thank you grandpa! Then I'll go to self-study, goodbye grandpa!"

"Haha, goodbye!"

It was indeed in a mess during this period. Maybe this is the so-called "graduation syndrome"! In a sense, I, a person from the "future", may feel more obvious. Everything is expected, and everything may be unexpected. The summer with tears in my memory is about to come again. I feel that I am not ready yet, and I face separation again.

People before graduation are impetuous, and even intrigue in the group before graduation. There are also people who step on the same brothers in the same company for their own future. This happens every year. Some people have been brothers for four years and finally turn against each other when they are assigned to graduate and never interact with each other since then. I am also worried about the situation of our company.

I walked into the design room with such a confusion. Jing Xiang and the Kettle both sat in front of the computer and revised their graduation thesis. When I saw me coming in, the Kettle smiled and said:

"Changfeng! Our group should be the fastest progress in the entire company. Haha, I really met a noble person! If you weren't here, we would probably be stuck there now! This is really a perverted topic!"

Jing Xiang looked up and said, "Yes, looking back at our results, it's really hard to imagine that we've come all the way!"

I smiled and said, "It all depends on everyone's concerted efforts! How can I say it's my credit? You have also done a lot of work!"

Jing Xiang smiled and said, "Yes, for example, a kettle, opening the water, sweeping the floor... I did a lot of it!"

The kettle was so angry that he grabbed a book and threw it over, cursing:

"Little girl, you're always fucking talking about that! That's all a long time ago. You said to me with your conscience. Did I play games later? Did I do my job well?"

I saw that they were going to attack each other again, and I quickly said:

"Brothers! Brothers! Stop quarrel! I want to ask everyone a question!"

The two people who were quarreling stopped, stared at each other, and gave me a look of inquiring. I smiled bitterly and shook my head. They are really two living treasures!

I asked:

"I don't know if it will be a risk, but I really want to know, how do you think about the future?"

I saw them looking puzzled, so I said, "To put it bluntly! Are you prepared to go to which unit you have after graduation? Or do you have any thoughts?"

Jing Xiang asked with a smile: "Changfeng, why do you suddenly ask this question?"

I smiled bitterly and said, "I am quite confused, so I want to hear what everyone thinks..."

Jing Xiang said: "I have no idea. I got the exam from the army. Generally, I am assigned back to the original army, so I don't think about this problem in normal times."

I nodded, turned my face to the kettle and asked:

"What about you?"

The kettle thought about it and said, "If I could choose myself, I would like to go to Beijing. Haha, don't get me wrong. I just said 'if', and this 'if' is basically impossible to achieve..."

I was immediately interested and asked:

"Why choose Beijing? Is it because there is a good development there?"

The water kettle smiled and said, "Whether it is good or bad development is secondary. It is mainly close to my home. My home is from Hebei. Hehe, of course, there is a key reason... My girlfriend works in Beijing. I am so ugly. If I don't chase after me and lose my girlfriend, I won't be able to find another one!"

Jing Xiang and I both laughed loudly, my smile was a little bitter. Actually, now that I am about to graduate, which one has no idea? Moreover, although everyone has a variety of ideas, they are classified into several types: they want to be closer to home, to their girlfriends, and to develop well. Of course, there is another one that wants everything, both to be close to home and to develop well...

I'm really annoyed recently. Of course, I'm not like other comrades, who know nothing about my future. Many of them only know where they will spend the next few years and even the second half of their lives until the day the order is announced. But I'm different. As long as I want, I can go to the best unit in the entire army, but it is this choice that makes me even more upset. The promise to Xiaoying and the advice my grandfather had shown me alternately, and the bad feeling when I returned to my unit during the winter vacation also made me feel confused.

I was just doing nothing and stayed in the design room for a whole day, until four o'clock in the evening, when I remembered that I had to organize training again, I packed up my things and returned to the team. As soon as the trumpet of the last class sounded, I blew the assembly whistle on time...—
