After getting in the car, Bai Xinyu began to brag to the driver about how brave and invincible he was just now, beating those gangsters to the ground, saving a poor father and daughter, etc. The driver was cheerful, but didn't say much.

Bai Xinyu finally sighed, "I don't know if that girl is injured or not." Bai Xinyu remembered how cute she was with her flickering long eyelashes.

Yu Fengcheng clasped Bai Xinyu's head with his slender fingers like he was grabbing a basketball, turned his face around, and said sarcastically, "I put you down here, why don't you go back and have a look?"

Bai Xinyu patted his hand away, "I'll just talk casually." It's been more than ten kilometers away, just kidding.

Comparing Bai Xinyu's excitement and Yu Fengcheng's plainness, Chen Jing, Cheng Wangwang and the old pilot seemed to be not so relaxed. Bai Xinyu also noticed something was wrong, so he asked: "Squad leader, what's wrong with you? Great."

Chen Jing said, "It's okay."

Bai Xinyu moved his face closer, stretched out his hand, and quickly took off Chen Jing's glasses, and said with a grin: "Squad leader, if you are not short-sighted, don't wear glasses, don't you know that your eyeballs tend to deform after wearing them for a long time. "

Chen Jing snatched the glasses over, "I won't wear them any longer."

"Squad leader, your whirlwind kick today is too strong. If only I had time to take a picture of it for you... No, I don't understand. Why are we running? Isn't this a good thing."

Cheng Wangwang patted him, and spoke to him in a serious tone for the first time, "Don't ask, just sit down."

Bai Xinyu realized that something might really be wrong? He remembered what the squad leader said "Han people can't be controlled", and vaguely felt that it was related to this, so he shut his mouth wisely and didn't ask any more questions. At that time, Bai Xinyu really didn't know some sensitive situations in the local area, so he naturally didn't understand why they acted like thieves in such chivalrous things.

After bumping in the car for more than five hours, they finally returned to the barracks before dark.

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Bai Xinyu, who brought a bunch of messy gifts, was warmly welcomed by everyone. He took a few delicious and fun things, and went to find Feng Dongyuan and Qian Liang. Taking advantage of the rest time before dinner, I found a place where no one was eating big and fragrant buttered almonds. Qian Liang patted Bai Xinyu's thigh while eating, "Okay, I didn't forget you guys, this stuff It's really addictive."

Feng Dongyuan said with a smile: "It really tastes good. This is the first time I have eaten this thing. It looks like a pecan."

Bai Xinyu excitedly described to them what he had seen in the past two days. Except for the messy night in the guest house last night, he bragged about everything else, especially the scene of their heroic fight with gangsters this morning. Bai Xinyu said proudly: " It seems that I haven't practiced in vain for more than half a year, I didn't even know that I was so good at fighting." After speaking, he made two punches.

Feng Dongyuan said enviously: "I really want to visit that town. At first I thought I could stand loneliness. My place is small and there is nothing. I didn't expect to feel even more aggrieved in the army."

Bai Xinyu said: "Try to get close to the squad leader. You see, he took Yu Fengcheng this time." He thought to himself, if the squad leader was leading the little angel Feng Dongyuan at that time, would that happen last night? The famous name of the first life is finished.

Feng Dongyuan scratched his head embarrassingly, "I'm not very good at it... Besides, Fengcheng's performance is good, and the squad leader should appreciate him."

Qian Liang poked Feng Dongyuan's head with almond wood, "You don't understand this, the monitor is also a human being, and he likes to listen to good things, and he also likes people to treat him well. Yu Fengcheng was liked by the monitor because of his good performance. What is the reason for Xiaomao? Liang Xiaomao is probably above average. He is not a popular person in front of the squad leader. Isn’t it because he has a sweet mouth and will come to trouble? That is the attitude that people want to raise. I don’t mean to let you Sneaky bribery or something, that can't be done, and the squad leader is not that kind of person, I mean, you have to behave positively in front of the squad leader, so that the squad leader has you in his heart, otherwise there will be so many people with similar conditions to you. Why are you promoted to a non-commissioned officer? You always say that you want to be promoted and get good treatment, and it’s not enough to work hard alone."

Feng Dongyuan blushed a little, "It's not that I don't know what you said, I just..."

"I'm just sorry." Qian Liang chewed nuts, "I know your personality, but you can do practical things silently. Hey, it's a pity that I don't have a class with you, otherwise I can help You, I don’t plan to stay in the army, I’m back, with this background, my dad can arrange a job for me, you are different, Dong Yuan, you have to think more about your future.”

Feng Dongyuan nodded and stopped talking.

Bai Xinyu was taken aback when he heard that, he didn't expect these big boys under 20 years old to think about so many things. Compared with myself, even though I was two or three years older than them, before I came to the army, I was thinking about eating or playing all day long, and the people around me were either ignorant dudes like him or women who were not very serious. If he doesn't come to the army, he doesn't know how many years it will take him to realize what a despised circle he lives in. Thinking of his brother's scolding and his parents' disappointed and regretful eyes, he Suddenly it all became clear. He forgot where he heard a very literary saying before, saying that it is a matter of a moment when people grow up, and for a moment, some things suddenly come to their senses. I really feel that what I did before was bad, instead of pretending to repent in order to deal with his parents.

The three of them chatted about other things, and when it was almost dinner time, they went to work on their own.

After going out for two days, Bai Xinyu actually misses those pigs a little bit, bah, it's not that he misses, it's because he doesn't know how other people feed him, he managed to get so fat, if he starves and loses weight, how much effort will he have to spend? .

He put on fully armed clothes and went to the pigsty. When the pigs saw the food delivery person coming, they all crowded excitedly from all corners of the pigsty to the edge of the pen, opened their mouths, and hooted.

Bai Xinyu patted them on the face with a branch, "The young master is back to serve you again, and I didn't do it voluntarily, so don't give me a warm welcome."

Today, instead of feeding swill, feed feed, which is a little less disgusting. Bai Xinyu mixed the feed and poured buckets of feed into the trough. He is really familiar with this job now, but after returning home, he will be beaten to death. He will not admit that he has become an expert pig feeder.

Those pigs swarmed to eat in front of the trough, their chubby bodies and heads with big ears huddled together, it looked really funny. Bai Xinyu leaned against the fence and sighed, "Your life, is it luck or misfortune? In fact, you are pretty good when you are alive. You don't have to think about anything except eating and sleeping all day long, but in the end you will still be eaten. , but, you have enjoyed enough, this life is worth it, huh?"

A group of pigs ate intently and ignored him.

Bai Xinyu raised the branch and whipped a pig, but the pig didn't even feel it at all. Bai Xinyu was a little annoyed, because the one he smoked happened to be a breeding pig in this group of pigs, and breeding pigs would not be eaten. Usually only pregnant sows can eat good things like eggs and corn. The breeding pigs can eat twice a month, and they can exercise with whichever sow they want every day. Don't live too happily. Bai Xinyu realizes sadly that his life is not as good as that of a pig, and he can't help but The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he smoked it several times, and finally he was so tired that the boar didn't even look up at him.

When Bai Xinyu thought that he was angry with a pig that had a better life than him and didn't take him seriously, he became even more angry when he felt sad. He pointed at the breeding pig and cursed: "Pig! I bestow upon you a name—Yu Fengcheng!"

In a blink of an eye, winter has entered, and the first snow fell in Xinjiang. On the day it snowed, all the soldiers of the company were very excited. Except for the soldiers and locals who grew up in the Northeast, people from other places had never seen such thick and heavy snow. seen.

Bai Xinyu got up early in the morning and saw the thick snow outside, put on his clothes and rushed out, rolling in the snow several times, laughing happily. Many recruits also ran out, yelling excitedly.

Bai Xinyu usually doesn't need to run in the morning, but today it was too cold. He felt much warmer after rolling for a while, so he went for a morning run with the members of the third shift. He remembered that when he first came to the army, running three kilometers cost less It killed him, and now running five kilometers is just like playing for fun. Before he knew it, his changes surprised even himself.

Bai Xinyu grabbed the student group and squeezed it into a ball, intentionally made it very firm, and then threw it at Yu Fengcheng. Not to be outdone, Yu Fengcheng grabbed a ball of snow and pressed it directly to his face, and the two of them rolled down in the snow. The snow attacked each other, and as a result, the battle spread, and the entire third class joined the battle, and started a snowball fight with each other. At first, Chen Jing pretended to scold them, but then he was beaten by innocent snowballs. In the end, the scene got a little out of control. The soldiers who ran in the morning all started playing in the snow, and the laughter resounded throughout the camp until Xu Chuang drove by and looked at them with his arms akimbo. It took a long time for them to notice that the company commander was coming, and they ran away in a desperate manner.

After the run, Bai Xinyu went to feed the pigs, and then went to the reception room to call his mother. The communication room was on the first floor of the office building. As soon as he stepped into the office building, he heard Xu Chuang yelling at a volume that could be heard on the entire floor: "Fart, this is fart!"

Wang Shunwei persuaded in a low voice beside him: "Old Xu, keep your voice down."

"Why should I keep my voice down? I'll let people listen to my mother! Let me tell you, there is no way to do things like this. The indicators were withdrawn because of this bullshit reason. This is farting. I will go to the head of the group now. Going to the division headquarters, I just want to see who the airborne son is, such a big face!"

The offices of Xu Chuang and Wang Shunwei are on the second floor, and their voices can be heard very clearly. Bai Xinyu and the buddies on duty in the reception room looked at each other in dismay. Bai Xinyu opened his mouth to speak, but the buddies made this gesture of booing, and the two stood in the reception room Here, secretly listening.

Hearing that Xu Chuang kicked over the stool and was about to go out, suddenly, a very calm voice said, "Company commander, don't do this."

Bai Xinyu was taken aback, isn't this Chen Jing

Xu Chuang walked back and said, "Why are you still sitting here? You dare not go, do you? It's okay, I'll go, you wait, I'm fucking going to talk to someone."

"Company Commander." Chen Jing said: "Company Commander, don't go, it's natural for them to do so."

"There's a fart reason, you taught a few gangsters a lesson in order to save the fellow villagers in Xinjiang, what the hell is that? Don't you just warn the above and it's over, and now they withdraw your recommendation because of this Oh, this is a deliberate excuse, do you understand? This is an excuse, do you fucking understand!"

Chen Jing said calmly: "Company Commander, I understand, but I also understand that soldiers must obey orders, and you are only making things difficult for the regiment commander if you go to the regiment commander so recklessly. After all, the order comes from the division."

Wang Shunwei hurriedly said: "Old Xu, look at Xiao Chen's demeanor, please calm down."

Xu Chuang gasped for breath, and Bai Xinyu could hear that gasp from the first floor.

Chen Jingdao: "Company Commander, the matter of recommendation was not finalized, but now it is reasonable to reduce the quota by one. I have nothing to say. In fact, it is no big deal to serve the people everywhere."

Xu Chuang was silent for a while, and then he said furiously: "You have been a soldier in Xinjiang for three years. Don't you know what you can and can't do when you lead soldiers out? If something happens in the town, don't call the police. You What are you messing with, they just want to give someone else an indicator of our regiment, if you don't have this clue, then the escort will still be yours."

Chen Jing said: "Company Commander, it's useless to say this now. In short, you don't have to be angry about my affairs. I accept the arrangement of the superior."

Xu Chuang kicked the stool down again, "Get out, get out!"

At this point, Bai Xinyu finally understood what was going on. When Huo Qiao came here, he originally wanted Chen Jing to participate in the selection for the Snow Leopard Brigade, but Chen Jingzhi was not here because he had a target of being recommended to the military academy, and he would be able to enroll next year, but now the division has to withdraw a target. He was held accountable for the incident in the town, and when he cut off a person, he was cut off.

It has been over a month since that incident, and Bai Xinyu has never known that there will be a follow-up. They never thought about Chen Jing being warned. If this incident did not happen today, they probably would never know about Chen Jing for the rest of their lives. Because they will be held accountable for their impulsiveness, and now because of this incident, they have been withdrawn from the quota of admission to the military academy that Chen Jing had been looking forward to.

Bai Xinyu became angry almost at once. Anger, unwillingness, guilt, and other messy emotions were all stuck in his chest. He could understand why Xu Chuang was so angry. Anyone who cared about Chen Jing couldn't help but be angry. He obviously didn't do anything wrong, he's always been the good squad leader who is upright and popular, why not! Why should he smash his long-awaited military academy dream!

Chen Jing went downstairs and met Bai Xinyu head-on. Bai Xinyu saw that Chen Jing's eye circles were red at a glance. He walked up and choked up, "Squad leader..."

Chen Jing was speechless, patted him on the shoulder, turned his head and left.

Bai Xinyu froze on the spot for a long time, clenched his fists tightly.

After he left the office building, he went to find Yu Fengcheng and told what he had just heard.

Yu Fengcheng's face also darkened, "I heard about the squad leader being held accountable by the company commander, but I didn't expect this to be involved... I'll ask my uncle for help."

Bai Xinyu said angrily: "I don't understand why we have to implicate the squad leader and be warned when we did nothing wrong."

"The situation on the frontier is already quite chaotic. The army really shouldn't be in charge of local affairs. It is easy to intensify conflicts. Among the four people, only the squad leader was a non-commissioned officer. Of course he was responsible for the accident." Yu Fengcheng sighed. , "We were impulsive at the time."

Bai Xinyu gritted his teeth and said, "Hurry up and find a relationship with the squad leader. The squad leader wants to go to the military academy so much. If you just withdraw his quota like this, it will be too fucked."

"I know, my uncle will try his best to help him."

Bai Xinyu suddenly thought of something, "Your uncle wants the squad leader to go to the Snow Leopard Brigade so much, it can't be..."

Yu Fengcheng stared, "What do you want to say?"

Bai Xinyu waved his hands again and again, "No, I just..."

Yu Fengcheng's expression suddenly became a little scary, "Don't fucking speculate about my uncle, he is definitely not that kind of person, and the squad leader is not some super magic soldier, he wouldn't act like that just to get someone alone." He took a picture Bai Xinyu's head, "If you talk nonsense again, be careful and I will slap you."

Although Bai Xinyu knew that he had said something wrong, he was still quite aggrieved, and his tone was not very good, "When did I speculate, and I didn't say a complete sentence, you are so excited."

Yu Fengcheng pushed him away, "Be honest with your mouth." After finishing speaking, he left without looking back.

Bai Xinyu rarely sees Yu Fengcheng really lose his temper. When teasing him, he usually changes his face very quickly, but it seems that he has never really gotten angry, but this time... It seems that Yu Fengcheng really admires Huo Qiao. Not even a single speculative bad word is allowed to be said. Bai Xinyu felt even more upset. The relationship between the two of them has been relatively harmonious recently. Sometimes they would go to a place where no one is around to kiss and touch them. If the gender issue was ignored, it would be a bit sweet, but today it was completely ruined. . Bai Xinyu was angry and regretful, one after another, his mood fell to the bottom.

When he went to the cooking class to prepare breakfast, his unsatisfactory face was easily seen by others. Wu Qing glanced at him, "What's the matter, are you constipated?"

Bai Xinyu said weakly: "Squad leader, your face is a bit scary when you tell jokes."

Wu Qing snorted, "Why isn't my face scary? Go wash the vegetables."

Cheng Wangwang squatted beside him, "Xinyu, hey, do you still have the cigarette from last time?"

Bai Xinyu nodded, "Yes, but it's not in my hands."

"Huh? What?"

"It's nothing, I'll get it for you another day."

"Thank you." Cheng Wangwang tilted his neck and looked at him, "What's wrong with you? You're still having fun in the morning like a pig, why are you wilting after half an hour?"

Bai Xinyu thought for a while, but he didn't mention Chen Jing's removal from the index, but he did mention that he was held accountable for beating up a few Uighur gangsters in the town.

Cheng Wangwang sighed, "Actually, I thought it was wrong at the time, but he has rushed up... He is still young and full of vigor. I have been a soldier here for seven years. Some things are taboo, and there are no orders. You just can’t manage it, you don’t have to feel guilty about his being held accountable, it’s indeed his responsibility, as a non-commissioned officer, he didn’t lead the soldiers well, if something goes wrong, it’s his.”

Bai Xinyu couldn't accept this statement, "But I was the first one to suggest a fight."

"As a superior officer, how can he decide to act after listening to your opinion? He should have his own judgment."

"However, we are here to save people, not to cause trouble and fight ourselves."

Cheng Wangwang sighed: "That's the reason, but it doesn't work in the army. You're still too young. You'll understand later that you don't do what you think is just. The result must be good. You know this." Two years, how serious is the conflict in this place? It’s not allowed to be reported on TV. You’ve always seen it on the Internet before. What happened that day, when we were young, it was a fight between a few young people. If you don’t understand, Chen Jing should understand. He was impulsive at the time, and he should also understand, so there is nothing he can do about being punished.”

Bai Xinyu felt uncomfortable, always felt that what Cheng Wangwang said was wrong, but he didn't know how to refute it, and he couldn't tell Cheng Wangwang, because the squad leader would not be able to go to the military academy because of such nonsense, even according to Xu Chuang's statement, The squad leader was not removed from the index because of this, it was just an excuse, but it was because of this incident that people found this "excuse", Bai Xinyu really regretted it, he felt that he was very sorry for the one who proposed to fight that day monitor.

Because of this incident, Bai Xinyu didn't sleep well all night. It's a pity that his family has no military relationship, and he didn't dare to go to his brother. Otherwise, he would help the squad leader get the indicators back, otherwise he really felt No face to see the monitor.

After waiting anxiously for a few days, he couldn't wait any longer, so he went to look for Yu Fengcheng again.

When Yu Fengcheng saw him, his attitude softened a bit, but when it came to the monitor, he was not very optimistic, "I told my uncle, and he said that this matter is very difficult, and now he is trying to find a way to increase an indicator, but it is very unreasonable." Easy to operate."

Bai Xinyu frowned, too uncomfortable to speak, and after a long time, he whispered: "I feel sorry for the monitor."

Yu Fengcheng looked at him, "Do you think the squad leader was removed from his quota because of you?"

Bai Xinyu nodded.

Yu Fengcheng said: "It has nothing to do with what happened that day, it's because someone found a good relationship and took this index away from the division headquarters."

"But if it wasn't for that incident, it wouldn't be the dismissal of the squad leader."

Yu Fengcheng patted him on the head, "Finally you have grown up?"
