Zhou Huping was dressed neatly, sat on a small bench, and was polishing leather shoes in the small bungalow in his family yard.

He will go and call later.

On the table next to it was his officer belt and big-brimmed hat, and a squadron roster.

This is the last time that the pre-squad leader of the third squadron of this year's teaching brigade has been named. Zhou Huping feels that such things must be a bit ritualistic.

At this time of year, he has to wear straight and shiny leather shoes, and personally give his last name.

There was a knock outside the door.

Zhou Huping was stunned. He thought he had misnamed the name, so the clerk Liao Huang came over and urged him to go there immediately.

He raised his hand and looked at his watch.

At exactly nine o'clock.

There is still half an hour before the name is called.

I didn't make any mistakes.

"Did Liao Huang? I didn't miss it!"

Outside the door, it was quiet and no one responded.

Zhou Huping wiped his leather shoes twice, suddenly felt something was wrong, and asked again: "Who is it?"

"Captain...it's me, solemn."

A familiar voice came from the crack in the door, and Zhou Huping was stunned.

Then get up, put on your leather shoes, and go forward to open the door.

Zhuangyan stood at the door with a wet body, like a messy cock.

"What are you doing?" He looked at the sky in confusion. The moon was hanging high, the clouds were clear and the wind was clear. Not to mention the rain, there was no wind.

He said solemnly: "Captain, ask you something."

Zhou Huping changed his mind and immediately understood what the soldier in front of him was about to say, so he said, "Is it about staying in the team?"

Zhuangyan didn't say anything, just nodded a few times.

"It's great to stay in the team. How many people want to stay, but they can't stay." Zhou Huping said: "The coach of the teaching team is the squad leader, and it's not something that anyone can be the one who is equal."

Zhuangyan said: "But, I want to go back to the old company..."

Zhou Huping's face suddenly darkened and said, "Go back to the old company? Why do you go back? Are you not a squad leader here? You join the party without party votes? You don't have indicators and you take the military academy?"

Zhuang Yan shook his head and said, "It's not these. I think Xu Xingguo will have a big misunderstanding if I stay. He thinks I snatched his indicators. Moreover, when the company commander sent me, he said, how many people came and how many people went back..."

"Nonsense!" Zhou Huping was angry, "Do you think this is buying vegetables on the street? Bargaining? What place is this? Is it your place to bargain? Tell you! Staying you is not only the decision of the teaching team, but also the decision of the division. If you really have an objection, you go to the division to find Deputy Commander Cai and say to Deputy Chief Cui, and they agree to you go back. I, Zhou Huping, didn't say anything, and signed and let you leave immediately!"

Zhuang Yan was taught a lesson by Zhou Huping, and naturally felt uneasy.

After a year of training, he knew that the troops could only obey orders from superiors and could never bargain.

However, when he thought of Xu Xingguo's disgusting gaze, he couldn't help it.

He doesn't want to be an unkind, unrighteous and unfaithful person in the eyes of others, nor does he want his former good comrades to think that he was betraying him behind his back.

"Captain, I don't want to stay." He mustered up the courage, "I will follow the car back to my company tomorrow."

"Ah!" Zhou Huping looked at Zhuang Yan unexpectedly and said, "You are very tempered and have a personality! Do you think you will go back when you say you will go back? Tell you that as long as you are still in the army, as long as you are still in the 1st Division, you will not be able to escape. If you dare to leave, all the files will be detained to the division headquarters. When you go back, you will be a black soldier and there is nothing!"

Cold sweat oozed from the solemn forehead.

Zhou Huping's style of conduct is always the same, and he will do what he says. If he says he will deduct it, he will deduct it.

Seeing Zhuang Yan's not saying anything, Zhou Huping's tone finally calmed down and said, "Zhuang Yan, don't think too much. Stay in the division headquarters and have great achievements. I guess our army will be reorganized at the beginning of next year, and the military service system will also be reformed. Returning to the company, you have so many soldiers in the same year, which will not be beneficial to you. Stay in the teaching team and have more opportunities."

Zhuang Yan wanted to tell Zhou Huping that he had never thought about having a long-term development in the army when he was in the army, and he never thought about becoming a professional soldier.

However, he also seemed to feel that things in the world often do not develop according to your personal preferences.

It’s like writing a script, it’s just written by you, and others may not be able to shoot it as you do.

Perhaps, this is what is called destiny.

Since joining the army, Zhuang Yan even wanted to be a deserter at the beginning. By chance, someone ran away before him that night when he was planning to escape.

Later, I wanted to spend three years in Tieba, but I didn't expect to meet Chen Qingming, Niu Dali and Xu Xingguo, but came to the teaching team for anger.

When I arrived at the teaching team, I thought that after six months and going back to be a squad leader would have been safe and secure three years.

Who would have thought that Zhou Huping, the squadron leader, asked him to stay in the team again? Now he wants to leave, but he can't leave.

None of these things acts according to one's own will.

Destiny is unknowingly carrying me and walking in a strange direction, as if I can stop.

After returning from the family yard, Zhuangyan changed her clothes and came to the basketball court to wait for the name.

Xu Xingguo also changed into clean regular clothes and sat next to the basketball hoop, smoking a muffled cigarette. No one else talked to him, nor did he talk to others.

Yan Su came over and said goodbye to Zhuang Yan, and comforted him, "Don't worry about this. Lao Xu is just a timid. After a while, it will be fine if you figure it out."

In fact, even fools can hear this is a polite and consoling word.

Zhuang Yan knew very well that he and Xu Xingguo might not be good comrades.

Early the next morning, various infantry regiments indeed sent cars.

The students brought their luggage into the car one after another, and only Wang Dazui and himself were left in the third district team. Even Qian Zhongjun and Pei Quan, the two squad leaders who were drawn from the regiment, left.

Zhuang Yan, Wang Dazui, Yang Songlin and other coaches who stayed in the team, as well as other veterans who were originally teaching teams, stood on the second floor of the barracks, watching indifferently as the soldiers moved all the pieces into the car like moving.

Everything was done and the convoy slowly drove out of the teaching team's door. When each car just left the gate, the soldiers sitting in the car would stand up, squeeze on the backspan, and shout to the teaching team's barracks: "Go to hell! I will never come back!"

A veteran standing beside Zhuang Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, looked at Zhuang Yan and said, "See, you are like this bird when you are a coach. You are strict. After graduation, people don't like you. You are not strict. If they are stupid people, they will hate you even if they don't learn anything after they go back."

After saying that, he took a cigarette and lit the fire, and walked towards his own room while smoking.

Standing on the balcony aisle on the second floor, he looked at the veteran squad leader leaving, and didn't speak for a long time.

The wind passed through the corridor and blew the confetti left by the students on the ground as they left, dancing in the air.

The bustling teaching brigade of the past was as quiet as death.

Empty training ground, empty row houses, empty basketball courts, empty lawns...

Everything is empty.
Chapter completed!
