She was an interesting female soldier.
Huang Xiaoyi felt very apologetic for implicating Su Xiao and causing her to write a written reflection. She had a fear of heights. When she was young, she went to the mountains to pick herbs and fell off a cliff. Although she survived, she was afraid of heights ever since.
As someone who had studied Chinese medicine, she knew that this was a psychological illness that could be cured as long as she overcame it. However, the psychological trauma caused by falling off the cliff was not something that could be changed in a short period of time.
The sky slowly darkened, and the female soldiers began to wash up. When the lights went out, they would not be able to do anything.
Huang Xiaoyi smiled apologetically at Su Xiao. Su Xiao patted her shoulder but did not say anything.
Some things would be meaningless if said too much.
At that time, the reason why she gave up her bed was because she saw that Huang Xiaoyi was very afraid of heights.
However, what the Tong Gang said was right. Military discipline was more important than anything else. If everything was based on camaraderie, then there would be no discipline. What was the point of having regulations?
This was also something that she needed to change. In her previous life, she had stayed in the hospital for a long time. Whenever she saw someone with an illness, she would instinctively go forward to help.
Now that she thought about it, she had already returned to the past.
Right now, she was not a doctor. She was just a female soldier who had just joined the army. She did not even have a military rank.
Only by surviving the three months of recruit training could she become a true warrior.
When she thought about the Tong Gang, she slightly frowned. She still could not let go of him. Every time when he was involved, she would easily get agitated. This was not good.
She sat down and quickly wrote the reflection before the roll call and the lights went out. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would not be able to finish it.
The reflection was easy to write. She had written it a few times in her previous life. As long as she deeply recognized her mistakes, it would be fine.
While Huang Xiaoyi was biting the tip of the pen and thinking about how to write, Su Xiao had finished her reflection. She folded it and hid it in her trouser pocket. Then, she quietly put on her training jacket. She was afraid that the roll call would start soon.
"Su Xiao, are you going out?" Another female soldier asked when she saw her putting on her clothes.
Su Xiao explained. Not long after, a sharp whistle sounded from outside. Then, she heard the instructor shouting, "Roll call, hurry up!"
Su Xiao had already guessed that there would be a roll call, so she had prepared everything.
However, the other female soldiers didn't expect that there would be a roll call, but they were still wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts.
Thus, they began to dress up in a flurry. Some female soldiers even complained to Su Xiao, "Why didn't you remind us?"
Su Xiao glanced at them. "I did."
Only then did they remember that Su Xiao seemed to have reminded them. But what were they doing at that time? They were chatting and laughing, talking about beauty and maintenance, and didn't take Su Xiao's words seriously.
Thinking of this, their faces all turned red, and no one dared to complain.
The female soldiers were still not fast enough to put on their clothes until someone knocked on the door. Su Xiao was the first to go out. She saw that everyone in the dormitory was hurriedly putting on their clothes. Not many people were fully dressed.
Su Xiao was the first to run to the training ground. She saw a row of instructors waiting there, and the one leading them was the Tong Gang.
As there was no one around, Su Xiao stood there and looked at the Tong Gang. This was her husband in her previous life, and her fiancé in this life.
It had to be said that the Tong Gang had a chiseled appearance. He looked 70% like the Political Commissar Tong, and 30% like Hu Tuan. It could be said that he had all the good points of his parents.
Although he was tanned because he became a soldier, she had to admit that he was handsome, especially his eyes. When he looked over, he could capture people's souls.
In Su Xiao's previous life, she was able to marry the Tong Gang partly because of the Dean's recommendation, and partly because of the Tong Gang's handsomeness and excellence.
This man was sent to the army by his father when he was 15 years old, and he climbed up from the bottom step by step. He was very outstanding. He had been in the army for 10 years, and he had experienced a few skirmishes in the Yue Kingdom, so he rose up the ranks quickly.
But this was all because of his own hard work. Soldiers could only show their worth in war, and only in war could they rise up the ranks quickly.
When Su Xiao got married, half of it was because she felt that he was suitable for her, and the other half was because this man was really good to her. It was a pity that he died young.
Now, seeing him again, Su Xiao had mixed feelings. But the previous life was her previous life, and this life was another matter. No matter what, she felt that she should seriously consider this marriage.
The Tong Gang was checking the speed at which the female soldiers arrived. Suddenly, he felt a serious and probing gaze.
Looking over, he saw that it was the little female soldier named Su Xiao. Her eyes were too focused, which made him frown slightly, and then he relaxed.
He thought that it was another female soldier who admired him, and he was used to this scene. But this female soldier's gaze was a little strange. It was an indescribable feeling. It was as though they had known each other for a long time and had suddenly reunited after being separated for a long time.
At this moment, almost all the female soldiers had arrived. Because they were in a hurry, many of them were not properly dressed. Some of them even wore their shoes backwards, and their shoelaces were not tied.
The Tong Gang collected his thoughts and glanced at the female soldiers who were not properly dressed. He frowned. Then, he looked at Su Xiao, who was the first to arrive at the training ground. The contrast was too strong, and he could not help but look at Su Xiao a few more pages.
He thought to himself, Hmm, this female soldier is not bad. I should observe her more and focus on grooming her.
The roll call was very simple. It was to look at the soldiers' mobility and reaction speed, as well as their positioning. After these problems were eliminated, the roll call was not important.
Soon, the roll call ended, and the group dispersed. Su Xiao was not in a hurry to return to the dormitory. She went to the Tong Gang and said, "Battalion Commander, please wait."
The Tong Gang turned around and saw the beautiful female soldier. He raised his eyebrows and looked at her, asking her what was going on with his eyes.
Su Xiao took out a neatly folded piece of paper from her pocket and said, "Battalion Commander, this is my self-reflection letter."
The female soldier smiled sweetly. Her youthful aura tugged at his heart, but he quickly threw it to the back of his mind. He took the paper and checked it. He asked, "You finished it so quickly? Did you not write it carefully? "
Su Xiao was not convinced and said, "Battalion Commander, you will know whether I wrote it carefully or not after you read it."
Looking at her angry face, which was red from anger, and her bright eyes, Tong Gang smiled. However, he still opened the self-reflection letter and started reading it under the street lamp.
Reading this, he couldn't help but be surprised by this little female soldier's writing style and her understanding of mistakes.
He had a whole new level of respect for a girl who left her parents to become a soldier at the age of sixteen or seventeen had such a deep understanding of her mistakes.
"I didn't expect your self-reflection letter to be so profound."
Su Xiao finally relaxed. She smiled and said, "I have written this self-reflection letter a few times in the past, and it is not difficult."
The Tong Gang glanced at her and thought to himself, How could a little girl have the opportunity to write such a profound self-reflection letter?
"You have written it before?" The Tong Gang pondered.
Su Xiao said, "Yes, I have. My father is a veteran. Sometimes, when the children at home make mistakes, he likes to use this method to punish us. This is more memorable than physical punishment."
Father Su was different from other people. Other parents would punish their children when they made mistakes, but Father Su loved to use military management methods to manage them.
However, compared to her brothers, Su Xiao was the child who received the least punishment. Even if she did make mistakes when she was young, her father would not punish her. Of course, she omitted these details. She could not say that she developed the habit of writing self-reflection letters in the army.
"Your father is also a veteran?"
Su Xiao smiled sweetly and said, "Yes, he is a veteran. He was a veteran for thirty-seven years. He came all the way from the battlefield."
When she thought about the gunshot wound on her father's body, Su Xiao's mood sank.
Su Xiao's words reminded the Tong Gang of his own father. His father was also a veteran for thirty-seven years.
Because of this, he had a special feeling for this well-behaved female soldier in front of him.
"Battalion Commander, did I pass the self-reflection letter?"
Tong Gang muttered to himself for a while and said, "Yes."
Su Xiao was relieved. She said goodbye to the Tong Gang and walked for a while. Then, she turned back and said, "I think you are good for now. I will observe you."
These words made the Tong Gang frown. He stared at her back for a while and did not think much of it. Then, he chuckled and thought to himself, "She is really at an age where everything is romantic."
After she returned to the dormitory, the female soldiers did not chat anymore. After all, they had been on the bus for a whole day and had been busy the whole afternoon. Soon, everyone lay down. However, there were some female soldiers who could not sleep. Among them were Pan Jiayi, Huang Xiaoyi, and a few other female soldiers.
Although Pan Jiayi and the others were tired, after arriving in a new environment, their brains were in a state of high tension. Therefore, they could not sleep. Huang Xiaoyi was afraid of heights, so she did not dare to sleep. She sat in front of her desk in the dormitory and wrote her self-reflection letter.
"Huang Xiaoyi, aren't you going to sleep? The lights are going to go out soon. "Su Xiao asked casually.
Huang Xiaoyi said, "I …" She looked at the height of the bed. Although it was not high, she still swallowed her saliva. Her scalp was a little numb.
Su Xiao calculated the time and estimated that the lights were going to go out soon. Huang Xiaoyi could not stay awake like this. However, Su Xiao did not mention changing beds anymore. She had just written her self-reflection letter about this.
She said, "Huang Xiaoyi, actually, acrophobia is just a psychological illness. If you overcome it, you can be cured."
"I have done some research and know that acrophobia can be overcome. However, I have tried many methods, but none of them worked." Huang Xiaoyi was very distressed.
At this point, Huang Xiaoyi hated Pan Jiayi for causing trouble. Otherwise, she would have already fallen asleep on the lower bunk. Why would there be so much trouble? She sighed in her heart as tears welled up in her eyes.
However, Su Xiao said, "Why don't you use a cloth to cover your eyes first? You won't be able to see anything outside. Then you can go to bed. The lights are not out yet. Hurry up and go to bed. When the lights go out, it won't be easy to climb onto the bed. "
On the other side, Pan Jiayi said, "Huang Xiaoyi, are you going to sleep or not? Why are you nestled there? You are so pretentious. Didn't Instructor Tong say that the military doctor will diagnose if you are acrophobic? When the diagnosis is confirmed, you will naturally be changed to another bed. What's wrong with being wronged for one night? "
However, Su Xiao did not participate in their conversation. She began to tidy up her bed, took off her coat, and climbed onto the bed.
Her mind was like a movie, replaying the scene of her contact with the Tong Gang today.
Because she was thinking about something, she could not fall asleep. She heard Huang Xiaoyi groping her way onto the bed. When the lights went out, she could even hear Huang Xiaoyi sobbing softly. Because their bunks were close together, she could hear it clearly.
It was only when the female soldier on the bed next to her said, "Huang Xiaoyi, that's enough. Can't you let her sleep?" Only then did she quiet down.
Thousands of miles away in Sanhe Village, Father Su could not fall asleep either. In the end, he simply sat up in the courtyard and smoked silently. His mind was preoccupied.
Mother Su also sat up and put on her coat before getting off the bed. Although it was the beginning of summer, the temperature difference between day and night was huge. If she did not put on a coat before going out, she would accidentally catch a cold.
"What's wrong, Old Su?" She sat beside him. "Are you thinking about Lanzi?"
Father Su took a puff of his cigarette. "Dear, do you think it was right for me to send Lanzi to the army?"
"This is the child's choice. She wants to be a soldier and eat the government's food. As long as it's good for the child, there's nothing wrong with it."
"Gangzi is also in the army. I don't know if Lao Dong told him about Lanzi going to the army. I heard that the army hospital Lanzi is in is where Gangzi is in. If Gangzi is there to take care of Lanzi, she can suffer less. "
Mother Su said, "Gangzi probably doesn't know that Lanzi went to the army he's in, right? He doesn't know Lanzi either. Even if he met these two children, he might not be able to recognize each other. I think you should talk to the Political Commissar Tong and ask Gangzi to take care of our Lanzi. Lanzi has not suffered much since she was young. Now that she's in the army, I don't know if she can get used to the food or if she'll get hurt. "
As soon as she said this, tears fell from Mother Su's eyes.
When Father Su saw this, he hurriedly hugged Mother Su and wiped away her tears. "We have to believe in Lanzi. She's my daughter. She's strong and will definitely be able to pull through."
Even though he thought this way, he was still worried about Su Xiao. After all, this child was going on a long journey alone.
