The meeting ended with Liu Yuanchao's silent military salute. After the teams were brought back, the soldiers lined up in front of each company's gates. Each company's commander began to announce the names of the soldiers that they had already prepared.
In front of the gates of the 1st Battalion's 2nd Company, Hong Liang was also doing the same thing.
Because it was related to their future, the soldiers in the company all calmed down and quietly waited for their names to be called.
"Liao Genzhu, 43rd Regiment, 1st Battalion, 1st Company."
"Yes!"
"Liu Fei, 1st Battalion, 2nd Company, 43rd Regiment."
"Yes!"
"General Wang, 1st Battalion, 3rd Company, 43rd Regiment."
"Yes!"
"Liu Chuang, 1st Company, 2nd Battalion, 44th Regiment."
"Yes!"
"Cui Pingjie, 44th Regiment, 2nd Company, 2nd Battalion, 44th Regiment."
"Yes!"
"… …"
The order to split the soldiers started from the 1st Battalion. Qu Sen stood quietly in the ranks and listened to the names of each of his familiar names. He felt an indescribable pain in his heart. He knew that after parting with these comrades, he might never see them again in this life.
Very quickly, Commander Hong began to announce where the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion would be split, but Qu Sen's name wasn't on the 1st Battalion's list.
Most of the soldiers didn't even notice this. Those who did know also knew that Qu Sen was going to the military academy, so naturally his name wouldn't appear on the list.
The announcement of where the soldiers would be split was quickly completed and each squad was brought back. Qu Sen was stopped by Commander Hong. Before he could say anything, a pink train ticket was handed to Qu Sen.
Qu Sen didn't understand and took a look at the ticket. The starting point on the ticket was the train station of the city where the infantry regiment was stationed, but the ending point was the name of the city where Qu Sen's home was located. The time was 10: 53 at night.
"This is?" Qu Sen held the ticket and was stunned. Although he knew that the army would definitely let him go home before enrolling, he estimated that it would only be two or three days. He didn't expect that there was still half a month before he could go home.
"The troops will be split up soon. Where will you stay?" Company Commander Hong forced a smile, then stopped smiling and said, "Your ticket was bought by the Regiment Commander himself. Take the time to thank him. Let's do it in the afternoon. The leader should be very busy now. "
"Yes!" This time, Qu Sen didn't stand at attention and respond loudly. Instead, he responded in a low voice.
His nomination was proposed by the regiment commander during the meeting, and it was only under his persuasion that the leaders in the regiment agreed. Qu Sen had already heard about this from the secretary of the regimental headquarters. Qu Sen was truly grateful to that hot-tempered and loud regiment commander.
The training in the group had already stopped. When Qu Sen returned to class, everyone was sitting on their own little stools in a daze. The class monitor, Liao Genzhu, saw Qu Sen holding a train ticket in his hand and asked, "Are you going home?"
Qu Sen nodded and didn't say much. His brothers in class were about to go to other units to face a new environment. Although he himself was about to face a new environment, he was going to a military academy.
At this time, Qu Sen really didn't know what to say. He didn't want to use the fact that he could go home to agitate everyone.
After a while, the lunch gathering whistle sounded. The soldiers in the company quickly gathered and lined up to go to the cafeteria. The troops moved in silence. The singing before lunch wasn't as passionate as before, but the officers of each company understood everyone's feelings and didn't say much.
After lunch, the short break in the afternoon passed quickly. The company gathering whistle sounded again. This time, it was to inform everyone to go to the company storeroom to collect their personal belongings. In addition, it was also to inform everyone that in the afternoon, other than toiletries, everything else must be packed.
The soldiers lined up to take their luggage and personal belongings from home from the storeroom and returned to their respective classes. After Qu Sen sent the suitcase he brought from home back to class, he still had to go to another storage room to get his luggage and luggage.
When he returned to class with two camouflage bags, one big and one small, everyone was already packing up their desks and bedside cabinets. Qu Sen also joined in. No one spoke during the entire process. The entire company had sunk into a sad silence.
"Class monitor, I'm going to the regiment." After packing up, Qu Sen said to Liao Genzhu.
"Go." Liao Genzhu patted Qu Sen's shoulder.
Qu Sen walked out of the company's main gate and felt the oppressive atmosphere fade a little. He lifted his spirits and went to the regiment's office building.
"Report!" Outside the regiment commander's office, Qu Sen shouted and knocked on the door a few times. After waiting for a while, there was no response, so he knocked again. The regimental secretary heard the sound and came out. When he saw Qu Sen, he said, "The regiment commander went to the division headquarters. He probably won't be back in the afternoon."
When Qu Sen heard this, he could only thank the secretary and turn around to leave.
When he was about to walk out of the regimental building, Qu Sen suddenly didn't want to go back to the company because the oppressive atmosphere there was too heavy. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and went up to the third floor. He took out his key and opened the door to the computer room.
Usually, there would be people practicing in the computer room, but today it was empty. Qu Sen pulled out a chair and sat down. He started to daydream. Soon, there was a sound from the computer room door. Qu Sen looked up and saw Secretary Wen walk in.
He also received a recommendation for advanced studies, so he seemed to be in better spirits than the others.
"I saw your back just now." Secretary Wen said with a smile.
Qu Sen forced a smile and said, "I thought there would be people in the computer room, so I came to take a look."
"Forget it. Who would be in the mood to come at a time like this?" Secretary Wen had interacted with Qu Sen a lot, so he knew his personality well. He looked at Qu Sen and asked, "What's wrong? You don't want to go back to the company?"
When Qu Sen saw that he had been seen through, he could only nod his head.
"Let's go back. After all, it will be hard to see each other again after this separation." Secretary Wen advised.
Qu Sen thought about it and agreed. He stood up and walked out of the computer room.
When he returned to the company, the atmosphere seemed to have livened up. There were voices coming from the dorms of each class. As soon as Qu Sen entered the dorm, he heard Wang Shuai's voice, "You're finally back. Hurry up." As he spoke, Wang Shuai threw a small book to Qu Sen.
Qu Sen caught it and saw that it was an address book. He flipped it open and saw that it was filled with the contact information of everyone in the class.
"It's yours." Liao Genzhu handed the unopened address book to Qu Sen.
When Qu Sen saw that everyone was in a better mood, he opened the package and threw the address book on the table. He laughed and said loudly, "Don't be idle. Write down your home address and phone number for your brother." After he finished speaking, he picked up a pen on the table and wrote down his home address and phone number in Wang Shuai's address book. Then he wrote down Liao Genzhu's, Wang Chuang's …
When Qu Sen finished filling up the address book of everyone in the class, his own book was handed back to him. Everyone in the class sat together and said words of encouragement and reluctance to part with each other.
Soon, the soldiers of every class in the company began to visit the dorms and look for comrades who had a good relationship with them to exchange contact information. Under normal circumstances, visiting the dorms was not encouraged. However, the rules were relaxed. Even the platoon didn't stop them.
Soon, the entire company building was bustling with noise and excitement.
With the atmosphere livened up, time passed quickly. Soon, it was time for dinner. The soldiers once again lined up and marched towards the canteen. Under the encouragement of the company commander, this time, everyone sang a song that was especially loud before dinner.
This was because this was the infantry regiment's last singing competition.
When they entered the cafeteria, everyone found that not only was the dinner very rich, but there was also beer. Although there was a limit of three bottles per person, the atmosphere was not inferior to the dinner party on August 1st.
