Chapter 14
What an interesting female soldier.
She felt very sorry for Huang Xiaoyi, who had implicated Su Xiao to write a written examination. She had a fear of heights. When she was young, she went to the mountains to pick herbs.
She fell off a cliff. Although she survived,
Her fear had reached a high level since then.
For her, who had studied Chinese medicine, she knew that this was a psychological illness.
As long as she overcame it, it could be cured. But that falling off the cliff.
The psychological trauma that it had caused her.
It 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 were said too much.
It was meaningless.
At that time, she gave up the bed.
She did not think about anything else. She just saw that she was afraid of heights.
Out of camaraderie.
But Tong Gang was right.
The discipline of the army was above all else. If everything was based on camaraderie.
Then discipline would not be discipline.
What was the point of having those regulations?
This was also something that she needed to change.
In her previous life, she had stayed in the hospital for a long time. When she saw someone with an illness, she naturally went forward to help.
Now that she thought about it, she had already returned to the past.
She was not a doctor yet. 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 real soldier.
She sat down and quickly wrote the written examination before the roll call and the lights went out. Otherwise, if things were delayed, she was afraid that she would not be able to finish it.
The examination was very 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 already finished her written examination. 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 come 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 speed at which the female soldiers put on their clothes wasn't fast enough until someone knocked on the door. Su Xiao was the first to go out. She saw that everyone in the dormitory was putting on their clothes in a flurry. Not many people came out 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 Tong Gang.
As there was no one around, Su Xiao stood there and looked at Tong Gang. He was her husband in her previous life and her fiancé in this life.
Tong Gang had a chiseled appearance. He looked 70% like 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.
This man had always been outstanding. He was thrown into the army by his father when he was 15 years old. He had experienced many battles and was able to rise to his current position because of his military achievements.
Tong Gang was checking the speed at which the female soldiers arrived. Suddenly, he felt a serious and probing gaze.
He looked over and saw the female soldier called Su Xiao. Her gaze was too focused, which made him frown slightly. After that, he relaxed.
At this time, almost all the female soldiers had arrived. Because they left in a hurry, many of them were not properly dressed. Some of them even wore their shoes backwards, and many of them didn't tie their shoelaces.
Tong Gang collected his thoughts and looked at the female soldiers who were not properly dressed. He frowned. Compared to Su Xiao, who was the first to arrive at the training ground, the contrast was too strong. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at Su Xiao.
He thought to himself: Hmm, this female soldier is not bad. I should observe her more in the future and focus on grooming her.
The roll call was very simple. It was just looking at the soldiers' mobility and reaction speed. There was also the issue of whether they were in position. After these issues were eliminated, the roll call was not important.
Soon, the roll call was over and the group dispersed. Su Xiao was not in a hurry to return to the dormitory. She looked for Tong Gang and said: "Battalion Commander, please wait."
Tong Gang turned around and saw the beautiful female soldier. He raised his eyebrows and looked at her, asking her what was the matter.
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. However, he quickly put it to the back of his mind. He took the paper and asked: "You finished writing it so quickly? Did you not write it carefully? "
Su Xiao was not convinced: "Battalion Commander, you will know whether I wrote it carefully or not after you read it."
Tong Gang laughed when he saw her angry face. Her face was red from anger and her pair of lively eyes. However, he still opened the self-reflection letter and read 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 16 or 17 to have such a deep understanding of her mistakes.
"I didn't expect your self-reflection letter to be so profound."
Su Xiao relaxed and smiled sweetly: "I have written this self-reflection letter a few times in the past. It is not difficult."
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?" 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 others. Other parents would punish their children when they made mistakes. However, Father Su liked to use this method to discipline them.
However, compared to her brothers, Su Xiao was the least punished. 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 possibly say that she developed the habit of writing self-reflection letters in the army.
"Your father is also a veteran?"
Su Xiao smiled sweetly: "Yes, he is a veteran. He was a veteran for 37 years. He came all the way from the battlefield."
When she thought of her father's gunshot wound, Su Xiao's mood became a lot worse.
Su Xiao's words reminded Tong Gang of his own father. His father was also a veteran for 37 years.
Because of this, he had a different kind of 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: "Yes."
Su Xiao was relieved. She said goodbye to Tong Gang and walked for a while. Then, she turned back and said: "For now, I think you are quite good. I will observe you."
These words made Tong Gang frown. He looked at her back in a daze 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 the 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 other female soldiers were tired, after arriving in a new environment, their brains were in a state of high tension, so 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 will be 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 would be out soon. Huang Xiaoyi could not stay awake like this. However, Su Xiao did not mention changing beds anymore. She had just written a self-reflection letter about this matter.
She said: "Huang Xiaoyi, actually, acrophobia is just a psychological illness. If you overcome it, you can be cured."
"I've done some research and know that acrophobia can be overcome. However, I've tried many methods, but they are all useless." Huang Xiaoyi was very distressed.
Speaking of this, 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. Once the lights are 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're so pretentious. Didn't Instructor Tong say that the military doctor will diagnose if you have acrophobia? Once 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 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. After the lights were out, she could even hear Huang Xiaoyi sobbing softly. Because their bunks were close together, she could hear it clearly.
It was only until the female soldier on the bed next to her said: "Huang Xiaoyi, that's enough. Can't you let people 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 also 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 the same hospital that 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 also doesn't know Lanzi. 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 get through this."
Even though he thought this way, he was still worried about Su Xiao. After all, this child was going on a long journey alone.
Su Xiao did not know that her parents were worried about her all night. She even planned to ask the Political Commissar Tong. She fell asleep in a daze. Suddenly, she heard a shrill scream that woke everyone in the dormitory.
Hu Tuan was furious when she heard her son's words. However, she could not vent her anger. Her son's temper was as stubborn as his father's. He was always amenable to coaxing but not coercion. She sobbed. "Mom is old. My son despises me."
Tong Gang's head hurt a little. His tone softened. "Mom, I really have a job. It's not that I despise you. If you have anything to say, just say it. I'll listen. "
Hu Tuan's tone softened. "Tell Mom, how are you getting along with Vivi now?"
"Mom, what are you trying to do?" Tong Gang knew what his mother wanted to say. He hurriedly interrupted her. "I have a fiancée. What can I get along with He Wei?"
"You're still thinking about that Su Family girl. What's so good about her that you and your dad are so biased towards her?"
"Mom!" Tong Gang's tone was a little harsh.
Hu Tuan said, "I can't scold your dad because he's an old comrade. But what about you, Gangzi? You've only seen her when you were young. You haven't seen her since you grew up. You don't know how ugly she is. Why are you so dead set on her? Your dad doesn't want to break off the engagement. Listen to me. Break off the engagement and get along well with Vivi. "
Tong Gang said, "Mom, it's not about whether it's worth it or not. It's about a man's sense of responsibility. I've seen Lanzi. She's a good person. I won't break off the engagement."
"Why don't you listen to me? How can the Su Family compare to the He Family's background? With Su Lan's looks, how can she compare to … Hello? " However, she suddenly realized that Tong Gang had hung up the phone. She scolded softly, "That brat. How did he fall for that ugly girl?"
After Tong Gang hung up the phone, he saw Instructor Song covering his mouth and laughing.
"Tong Battalion Commander, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been the source of family conflicts. You have to deal with it properly." Although he had only heard a few words, Instructor Song was an experienced person. With the meticulousness of a scholar, he naturally discovered where the problem lay.
Tong Gang felt very annoyed. He put on his cap and said, "I'm going to the training ground to take a look."
As soon as he went out, he saw Su Xiao moving hospital equipment. It was obvious that this was part of their routine training.
The moment he saw Su Xiao, Tong Gang's agitated heart was inexplicably calm, and his mood suddenly calmed down.
"Hello, Battalion Commander," Su Xiao was slightly startled when she saw Tong Gang. She quickly saluted and greeted him.
Tong Gang nodded slightly and looked at the heavy hospital equipment in her hands. He wanted to help her but stopped when he saw that the other female soldiers were also there.
He walked around them and paused when he passed by Su Xiao. He whispered, "There will be a family call in a month. Remember to call home." Then, he walked towards the training ground.
Su Xiao was stunned. She stared blankly at his back as he walked away.
She knew that the recruits had a family hotline. In her previous life, she had experienced it many times. However, she only had a family hotline once a week, not once a month like now.
She just didn't expect that he would specifically come over to tell her about it.
While she was surprised, there was a subtle change in her heart.
"Su Xiao, did you know the Tong Battalion Commander before?" A female soldier came over and asked her.
Su Xiao replied, "Yes, we knew each other before."
"No wonder I felt that the Tong Battalion Commander treated you differently," another female soldier said.
Su Xiao lowered her eyes and hid her expression.
The female soldiers had trained for a day and were almost drained of their energy.
Huang Xiaoyi didn't return to the dormitory or participate in the training. However, this only made the female soldiers think about her for a while before they stopped paying attention to her.
Soon, the day's training ended and it was time for dinner.
In the military, they had to sing before dinner to boost morale.
A few female soldiers felt that it was fun to sing while eating. This was something that only the military had. They were singing the military song loudly with excitement on their faces.
The cafeteria in the military was organized by companies. A battalion had about four cafeterias. It was just that this time it was recruit training, and the training camp was actually an abandoned company training ground. Therefore, the cafeterias were only organized by companies. Fortunately, there weren't many female soldiers, so they were able to squeeze in.
Each table could seat about ten people. There was a sumptuous dinner on the table. There were also a few additional dishes that were specially ordered by the Tong Gang. There were more than ten dishes that filled the entire rectangular table. The amount of oil and the variety of dishes made some of the female soldiers who lived in remote areas enjoy the meal.
Some of the female soldiers who grew up in the countryside had never eaten such good food before. They were even more determined to cherish this opportunity and train hard to live a good life.
Su Xiao was very familiar with military life, so she didn't have the same surprised expression as the other female soldiers when they saw the sumptuous dinner. She was probably the one who ate the calmest among the group of female soldiers. She was just a little slow and the dishes were all eaten. She was startled and surprised by the speed at which the female soldiers ate.
This scene was seen by the Tong Gang and he frowned slightly.
Su Xiao wasn't full during this meal. The female soldiers ate too quickly. By the time she reached for the food, most of it had already been eaten.
