On the first day of reporting, the leader did not give any chance to breathe.

On the timetable, Lu Yanchen had scheduled classes for an entire morning. According to his understanding, the above did not even consider the issue of whether he, the former anti-terrorism squadron leader, would come to report. It seems destined that he will come, and he will come.

Among the instructors, one was an old acquaintance of Lu Yanchen. He was missing an arm. He was abolished in a dessert shop in Changsha around 2000 during the detonation. When Lu Yanchen went in, people were drinking tea leisurely, and seeing Lu Yanchen was happy: "Lu team, here we are, I'll be waiting for you." After speaking, he pushed over a set of rules and regulations in his hand, "Ten minutes, memorize it. As I said earlier today, you must memorize this first when you meet new students first."

Lu Yanchen nodded and greeted the remaining few able-bodied instructors, and swept over.

ten minutes later.

The hot sun fell on the eyelids, and all seventy people stood at attention and waited.

There are mostly young men, and there is only a column of girls on the far right.

In front of the playground, six men in simple black coats and uniform black hats without any signs walked in front of the crowd and stood in a row, which was a little more casual than the standing posture of these colleges. Zhang different faces are very serious.

On the right side, Lu Yanchen walked to the queue of students.

Turn your back to the teachers behind you and face the top students in front of you.

"Everyone, the six of us are the instructors who will take your class this semester. You can call us instructors or teachers. My surname is Lu, Lu Yanchen. The class schedule you got has my name on it. We met for the first time today. , during the next eight months of training, you will get to know me better. Next, a long-winded paragraph, these are written in black and white in the rules and regulations, but I must memorize each word now, otherwise we will all have to Wages deducted."

Below, many people wanted to laugh, but held their breath.

"This is not a military academy, so the requirements will be easier. Listen carefully, remember, memorize it," Lu Yanchen also seemed to have a smile on his lips, and quickly disappeared, "First of all, dress up. You must wear a uniform during training, and the uniform must be a complete set. Uniforms in different seasons are not allowed to be mixed. During class, standard leather shoes are worn uniformly. Slippers, cloth shoes or bare feet are not allowed. Leather shoes are brown or black. Color matching socks, shoes to keep bright."

"For uniforms, we allow changing clothes during the seasons, March 1-5, spring clothes, May 1-5, summer clothes, October 1-5, spring and autumn clothes, and December 1-5, winter clothes. For collective activities, uniform attire is required.”

"The second is some small rules. Eating while walking is not allowed, smoking in public places and non-smoking areas is not allowed. Wearing uniforms, the following behaviors are not allowed: arm, waist, shoulders, pockets, sleeves , back hands, sitting on the floor, laughing or making noise," he paused and raised the volume a little, "all clear?"

Everyone said in unison, "Clear!"

"Okay, I'm done, there's one more sentence that I personally sent you. When I joined the front line of anti-terrorism, the old captain gave us a motto. I hope you can find your own words, and write them at the end of your suicide note in the future. Excited."

When he finished, he smiled slightly.

Everyone laughed when they saw the instructor, and the heat and dryness that had been in the sun for half an hour had a vent, and they all laughed.

"What are the words of Instructor Lu?" a woman's voice asked.

He spoke very slowly, word by word, very cautiously: "A thousand artillery fires a thousand blood, an inch of river and mountain is worth an inch of gold."

After a moment of silence.

"I want this!" someone said.

"Any new ones? Instructor Lu." Someone suggested.

"Yes, you can also send us a few words. A few more words, there are so many of us, the last words are not enough!"

Lu Yanchen glanced at the person who wanted to choose more than one with a half-smiling smile: "The current team is not easy to lead, and you still need to choose more than one last word?"

The laughter rose and fell, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.

Lu Yanchen's voice suddenly sank: "Take a break!"

The team immediately quieted down and took a breather.

"stand at attention!"

All of them stood upright, with their backs straight.

Lu Yanchen's eyes swept across the unfamiliar and young faces in the first row, and in the back row, there were also older and more experienced people: "Two sentences, one meaning, I hope you will never use them. ."

The playground was quiet.

"Gou Li's country is life and death, so why should it be avoided because of misfortune and good fortune? Or," he also straightened his back, looking at these people who will enter the front line of EOD in the future, and subconsciously straightened his hat, "Dying to go to the national disaster, Look at death as if returning home.”

It's not loud, it's bright, and it's straight.

If you don't have the courage to see death as your own, don't do the explosive detonation business, it will only hurt others and yourself.

By noon, when he went to the instructor's cafeteria to grab a meal, there were only two leftovers left. After five minutes, he wiped them out, and there was nothing left. He took the stainless steel plate to the dining cart. A thin old instructor rushed in, took the last meal, and found a corner to eat. Lu Yanchen glanced at the sign, the cafeteria was a non-smoking area, so he went out to find a place to smoke first.

People walked outside the gate, and two immediate leaders surrounded the two people, talking in a low voice, and walked in here.

The leader saw Lu Yanchen beckoning: "Lu Yanchen, come, come here."

Lu Yanchen walked over and intuitively knew who the person in front of him was. According to the past, he would immediately stand at attention and salute.

But now he just took off his hat and looked directly at the eldest man of the group, who was also "measuring" himself with his eyes: "Lu Chen? I'm Guiyuan Mountain."

Eleven years ago, the two hadn't seen each other.

But he was "blessed" by this man, and he worked harder than others for the first two years in the army.

Lu Yanchen stretched out his right hand calmly: "Hello, uncle, I'm Lu Yanchen."

Eleven years later, here, the two finally meet.

Lu Yanchen deliberately asked his cousin about what happened in Gui Xiao's family back then.

The matter was not too big or not small, and it was suppressed later, but there were also people talking about it in private. Probably in Gui Xiao's first year of high school, her parents divorced. Because "family harmony" is a very favorable criterion for men on the way to promotion, Gui Xiao's father refused to divorce. Their marriage was a military marriage, the father did not agree, and the mother could not do anything for a while.

Unexpectedly, things suddenly turned around.

At that time, Gui Xiao stood on the side of her mother and threatened her father. If she did not agree to divorce her mother, she would report him for an extramarital affair as her daughter. This was a serious style problem, not to mention that being reported by her daughter's real name would be disgraced, which was worse than divorce. The final result is, leave. It also really affected the future of Gui Xiao's father. Because of the divorce, he missed a great opportunity, and Gui Xiao was angered and kicked out of the house.

Originally, she had no problem following her mother. After all, her mother was a diplomat, and raising a daughter was not a big deal. But her mother was seriously ill, and she was in the hospital for two or three years before she got better.

Gui Xiao grew up in such an environment in high school and in the early days of college.

No one helped her, no one accompanied her.

Lu Yanchen remembered that when Gui Xiao was on the phone during that time, he would get angry every time because of a trivial matter. He didn't know why she had become so bad-tempered. He was tired and didn't want to talk, so he listened to her. In the end, Gui Xiao started to cry as he spoke: "Why don't you talk to me, I will call you for money... talk."

When she cried, he felt distressed, but he was also irritable. He didn't know why she was crying, and he didn't know how to persuade her.

Thinking that maybe she said something wrong, she hung up hastily and asked her to calm down.

In such a vicious circle, he didn't understand how the two became like this. Until she knew the cause and effect, she naturally understood: At that time, Gui Xiao wanted to maintain her self-esteem and didn't want to tell him about these family changes or affect him, but she couldn't hold back the huge shocks in her life. , those depression and pain turned into vexatious troubles. At that time, as long as Gui Xiao can let him know a little bit, this will not be the case, and it may change the trajectory of his life.

If he knew, he would be back after two years of conscripts. Will definitely be back.

So, looking back on so many years, it can be said that Gui Xiao made him who he is now.

Let him not give up halfway and get to where he is today.

Lu Yanchen was in the leadership office, together with the leadership, responsible for entertaining the unexpected visitor.

To be honest, he didn't expect that he could see her father so easily. The elder should be angry when he called him in Inner Mongolia. He spoke sternly and to the point. There is also the major accident, I can't wait to call him a sinner through the ages, a public enemy of the people. Right now... there's a difference, but not much.

Gui Xiao's father regarded coming here as a matter of business.

Lu Yanchen was also on business, but one of the leaders appreciated him very much, and kept explaining how it was not easy to grab Lu Yanchen from many units. Practical talents are always the pillars of the country, which is the evaluation of leaders.

In this regard, Gui Xiao's father did not comment much.

Gui Xiao's father had seen Lu Yanchen's photo long ago, it was in his portfolio, and his prejudice against him had always been there, and it had never been reduced by half. He is a daughter like Gui Xiao. After the incident, he kept his face down and kept calling with Gui Xiao, even more often than when she left home to study in junior high school. After years of inquiring, he slowly allowed his daughter to start a relationship with him. With moving.

My father is still employed, and my mother is engaged in diplomacy. The girl herself is also good at studying, and she has returned from postgraduate studies abroad. She has a good job and looks good. What I regret most is that I neglected the discipline of my daughter in those years, and put it in her aunt's house to study in junior high school. I didn't expect that a boy I met in junior high school could still have feelings today.

"What you have done in Inner Mongolia has helped you," Gui Xiao's father rarely said to him before he left, "This job is good in all aspects, but it is not suitable for family. Since you have better The choice can also be considered more for the family.”

Lu Yanchen seemed to be able to see everything and sensed that this elder was giving in, but he also asked him to give in.

He responded with a smile: "It's not easy for the country to cultivate a person who can go to the front line. It takes two more years to do it for two years. If you don't work hard, how can you be worthy of those brothers and old leaders who died earlier."

Lu Yanchen sometimes has a kind of self-righteous pride. Those who have been in the front line for many years, they cannot be successful if they are not proud, and they cannot lead troops without self-confidence. The edge can't be concealed, it's very eye-catching, but it's a pity that Gui Xiao has basically no chance to see it.

The time he planned for himself was to get home at seven and leave the workplace at six.

Arrive at her house almost ten minutes early.

As expected, a table of dumplings was eaten by Gui Xiao in two meals without any creativity. They were boiled in water for lunch and fried in oil for dinner. The first thing he did when he got home was to finish the fried dumplings she had left for him and clean up the kitchen. Drain the tableware and chopsticks on the washing cloth, thinking about wiping them off with a rag at night and putting them back in the cupboard. Gui Xiao was already dressed and dragged him out with great interest. The two walked along Jinbao Street, Wangfujing, and Chang'an Street to the front of the palace. On the way, there was something serious that pointed him to a club, claiming that it was the place where he used to drink and sing to find a young lady, and was later confiscated.

When he said this, he deliberately blew him with his eyes. Lu Yanchen has a feedback expression of "Oh, I have learned a lot", what relationship can he have with a man on the border

***The lights are bright, and there is constant traffic on Chang'an Street behind.

Seeing the people standing guard, he couldn't help but pay more attention, and Gui Xiao took him around from the underground passage to the square across the road. Tourists were scattered all around. Gui Xiao pressed his face to his chest, not knowing what to do with his hands, and immediately raised his head and made a soft "um" sound. Lu Yanchen knew that she wanted to kiss... In a large crowd, or on the edge of the square, he was a soldier who was really—

Gui Xiao made a sound from his nose again, this time he was acting like a spoiled child.

The two of them never had a lot of normal dating and falling in love. At that time, they were too young, and their intimacy was hidden from others. He also knew in his heart where he had wronged her, so basically she could think of anything, and she would try her best to make up for it. Lu Yanchen pulled her to a further edge, and by the light in the dark night, he lowered his head to rub her lips, slowly moisturizing her lips, and then stuck his tongue in to find hers.

It was cold, something was spit into his mouth by her.

Lu Yanchen knew what it was at the touch of his tongue, and when he left her, something spit out.

"Surprise?" Gui Xiao couldn't help laughing first, and took out a wet tissue from his pocket as if he succeeded, "Quick, clean it up, put it on for me, I'll go back to the company for a walk tomorrow."

Lu Yanchen stood still for a while, and then looked at her.

"Don't be angry," Gui Xiao hurriedly took the ring back and wiped it off with a wet tissue, begging for mercy in a low voice, "The wedding ring is a pair, you buy the one, and you have to wear the other every day. This is useless, it is only used once on the wedding day, What a waste of you to buy."

"How much?" he asked coolly.

Of course I can't tell you, it's so expensive...

"Gui Xiao."

Gui Xiao felt extremely guilty, Nunuzui, and handed him the ring: "I bought everything..."

She just didn't want Lu Yanchen to be wronged, she wanted the best in everything, so that he could marry her beautifully, and no one could accuse him of anything behind his back. She doesn't allow it.

Lu Yanchen looked at her for a long time, took it over, took the wet tissue paper in her right hand and stuffed it into his jacket pocket. Using the lights in the square, he looked at her slender white fingers, found the middle finger, and slowly, Put it on.

Pushing it straight to the base of your fingers, he said lightly, "Wear it to play first, and I'll buy you a bigger one later."

Gui Xiao looked at his careful act of putting the ring on himself, and made a light "um".

Nose sour, so sour.

Lu Yanchen looked at her slightly fluttering eyelashes, and the smile she tried to hide in her eyes, and sighed softly, her voice rustling because of her emotional ups and downs: "Are you still kissing?"

As expected, she immediately raised her head, her eyes glowing with water: "Kiss, kiss..."
