Chapter 1200 One Person's Perseverance

Lao Xu was fooled and brought his precious son back home to be a policeman in the future.

He stayed here for two days. During these two days, he visited the army and rode in a chariot like in the original drama. Wang Yan still took many photos.

Until Lao Xu left, he had eaten eight meals and drank seven drinks. It can be said that he was never sober.

However, this cannot be said to be intentional by Wang Yan. Originally, Lao Xu himself had nothing to do and drank Erguotou. Wang Yan was the main companion, eating, drinking, and chatting with him.

The arrangement for Lao Xu was very good and he was very happy.

In the same way, Xu Sanduo finally got what he wanted and signed a non-commissioned officer with Wang Yan. The shoulder strap changed from the original two turns to a small turn with two gun emblems.

At that time, Xu Sanduo was very happy and saluted Wang Yan and called him squad leader.

Wang Yan also gave face and returned the salute with a smile, calling Xu Sanduo squad leader.

Xu Sanduo said that he was also a veteran...

A few days later, Chengcai came to the Seventh Company. Knowing that he was under pressure and Wang Yan didn't like him, he didn't go to join him. Xu Sanduo invited Chengcai to have a meal at the service center.

After returning, Xu Sanduo said that Chengcai complained that the environment of the Fifth Class was not good, and that such a good soldier like him would be wasted if he went to the Fifth Class. Xu Sanduo said that Chengcai had no spirit.

Wang Yan didn't say anything.

To be honest, it was actually the Fifth Class that saved Chengcai. It made him calm down and change.

But obviously, Chengcai is now pretentious and looks down on him.

Wang Yan responded with a few words and then let it go.

Xu Sanduo still understands some worldly ways now. He knows that Wang Yan doesn't like Chengcai, so unless he really has nothing to say, he usually doesn't mention Chengcai. Of course, the same is true in front of Chengcai, and he won't take the initiative to mention Wang Yan.

It's just that every time he talks with Chengcai or writes letters to communicate, Chengcai always talks about Wang Yan.

He once thought that Chengcai had become the same as he was before, no longer holding grudges, and treating everything as a joke...

This went on day after day.

Wang Yan and Xu Sanduo were guarding the Seventh Company, and they went out for drills on time every day. They made a training plan for themselves, and practiced physical fitness, tactics, shooting, etc. They also used this period of time to take the military driver's license test in the regiment.

In the evening, the two would read books. Wang Yan once again gave Xu Sanduo a list of books, thousands of books, and let Xu Sanduo study on his own. Every night at 7 o'clock, he would watch the news broadcast on time.

Commentary has become a regular program of the Seventh Company. Every day, Xu Sanduo would give a talk, and Wang Yan would comment on it, and take the opportunity to talk about the various problems in the news and the reasons behind the official clichés.

This is also a kind of exercise, which can broaden your horizons and improve your wisdom.

In June, Wang Yan took the examination for promotion. It is divided into two parts, one is the cultural examination, which focuses on science, and the other is the military skills examination, which is the daily training. The cultural exam was as easy as eating and drinking for Wang Yan. As for military skills, he was exempted from the exam.

Why did Xu Sanduo's performance in the big competition rank second or third in the group army?

Because the first place went to him, Wang, and the rest, Wang Yan also took care of Wu Liuyi, so that Wu Liuyi won another third-class merit. Then came Xu Sanduo and other soldiers.

This is only the group army.

In the military region competition, Wang Yan still ranked first in all participating subjects. He has won two consecutive terms, and in last year's big competition, he slightly broke his record in the year before.

In fact, because of Wang Yan, many people in other military regions were dissatisfied, and in order to promote exchanges, they organized competitions in seven major military regions. As expected, Wang Yan is now recognized as the first single soldier in the three armies, invincible in the world.

After the exam, more than a month passed, and it was August.

Wang Yan was finally leaving.

Early that morning, Wang Yan, as usual, went out for morning exercises and had breakfast with Xu Sanduo.

However, after returning, he no longer arranged the quilt with Xu Sanduo, but changed into summer clothes, packed his backpack, and packed his personal belongings.

Xu Sanduo's quilt had already been pressed out, and it was just a square tofu block with simple buttoning at the corners, which was as standard as it could be.

After he finished packing, he stood aside silently and watched Wang Yan pack.

After a long time, when Wang Yan had packed up, he asked, "Wang Yan, can we see each other again in the future?"

"Of course, I am still in the regiment. Although I may be transferred after being promoted, it must be within our military region. I don't know when I will see you. I was promoted, not dead. You just can't change this problem."

Wang Yan came over and patted him on the shoulder, "As for you, just work hard and hold on for another month, then you will definitely be transferred. You are the king of soldiers, how can a king of soldiers be idle? So you should hone your skills well, and soon you will have a stage to display your skills.

Okay, we are almost out of words, so don't dawdle. After I get settled in the place, I will write to you and tell you what the military academy is like. You should also work hard and strive for promotion. When the country gives you a wife, your father will be relieved."

After that, he put on his backpack, carried the luggage, rubbed Xu Sanduo's head again, and strolled out of the dormitory and went downstairs.

Xu Sanduo followed closely behind without saying a word.

Wang Yan spoke to him, but he did not respond.

When they got outside, Wang Yan rubbed Xu Sanduo's head one last time.

"Goodbye."

After that, Wang Yan got on the jeep that was waiting for him and left.

This time, it was Xu Sanduo who stood alone in the open space, watching the car go farther and farther and disappear.

He stood there silently, looking at the road...

From then on, Xu Sanduo guarded the Seventh Company by himself.

Wu Liuyi occasionally came to see him, and occasionally, there were some activities in the regiment, and he was transferred to assist.

Normally, he would do morning exercises alone, and would carry out daily training according to the training plan previously formulated by Wang Yan. During the singing session before meals, he would still sing military songs loudly by himself.

He strictly followed the housekeeping regulations to organize his housekeeping and clean up the environment.

He would read books by himself and take notes for study. He would turn on the TV on time at 7 o'clock every day to watch the news broadcast and comment on it himself...

He was away from home, he lost his collective, and he was guarding something that he didn't even know what it was.

That was a tenacious spiritual will that could endure loneliness and keep his heart.

But in fact, he was not lonely, and many people wrote to him.

Lao Ma was the most diligent in writing letters. Even though Lao Ma was very busy, he never stopped communicating with his comrades. Every month, in addition to buying cigarettes, Lao Ma's biggest expense was postage. He wrote about his work and life in his letters, which allowed Xu Sanduo to see a lot.

Shi Jin would send a letter from time to time, and what emerged in the text was still gentle encouragement. He always gave Xu Sanduo encouragement and told him that he could do it and that he was not a coward.

Wang Yan wrote two letters a month on a regular basis. As he said, he introduced Xu Sanduo to the National Defense University in Beijing, his classmates, his leaders, and also talked about his own performance. And as always, he encouraged Xu Sanduo to be a soldier for a day and stand guard for a day.

In addition, there were soldiers from the original third shift, such as Gan Xiaoning, Bai Tiejun, etc.

After Bai Tiejun was demobilized, he wrote letters frequently. But little by little, his reply time was getting longer. His life was very real. His fatigue and confusion could be felt in his words, but his bad mouth remained unchanged.

For a period of time after Wang Yan left, reading letters and replying to letters were the happiest times for Xu Sanduo.

His reply was very boring. He would say that he had been training again recently, and listed the training subjects in detail, and would say what books he had read, what he felt, etc. But the words were sincere and pure. It made people feel happy at a glance.

During this process, he participated in another big competition. This time, he finally won the first place in many subjects of the group army, and performed well in the large military region competition. He even won the first place in some subjects and won the second-class merit. He became stronger.

Of course, he didn't think so. He would only think that he was the first because Wang Yan didn't come.

There is no doubt that he is a good soldier and a good fighter...

More than a month passed like this, and it was October.

On an ordinary afternoon, Xu Sanduo, who had eaten lunch, returned to the dormitory to prepare for a nap.

Just as he opened the door, someone patted his shoulder. He subconsciously turned back to grab, but failed.

He quickly pulled away and saw the face of the person coming. He was stunned for a moment, then stood at attention and saluted: "Hello, Chief!"

Looking at Xu Sanduo's appearance, Yuan Lang nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, you still maintain the necessary vigilance."

Xu Sanduo didn't say anything, mainly because he didn't know what to say, just looked at Yuan Lang.

"Come in, why are you looking at me?"

"Yes!"

Xu Sanduo responded, invited Yuan Lang into the dormitory, and poured him a cup of hot water.

Yuan Lang wandered around the dormitory, as if the leader was inspecting him, and finally sat on the chair.

He said: "You have maintained it well, the housekeeping is simply standard and cannot be more standard."

"Nothing to do." Xu Sanduo told the truth.

"Some people have nothing to do and would choose to lie in bed and be comfortable, but you are just the opposite, choosing to suffer and be tired."

Xu Sanduo smiled innocently: "Wang Yan said that one day of service means one day of guard duty. I am guarding the seventh company."

Yuan Lang smiled: "I heard about this. Before, you two trained all day, sang songs while eating, and the two of you sang louder than the whole company."

"Actually, it's not that loud. They are just praising us." Xu Sanduo asked, "Commander, why are you here?"

Yuan Lang did not answer, but asked for no reason: "Xu Sanduo, are you willing to leave here?"

"My former squad leader said that there will be such a day. Wang Yan also said that you will have to leave."

"What about you? You said it yourself!"

"There will be such a day, and you will have to leave..."

Xu Sanduo was very sad, because he had not left yet, and was still guarding, guarding something he didn't know. Thinking of leaving, he was also sad.

Yuan Lang was so angry that he laughed at Xu Sanduo, but he didn't care. He smiled and said, "In a few days, someone will notify you to go for a physical examination. I will be the one to do the examination."

"Physical examination?" Xu Sanduo reacted for a moment, then asked, "Old A will be selected from us?"

"Smart, not as stupid as he looks." Yuan Lang nodded with a smile, "I can't tell you more. If you pass the selection, do you want to go to Old A?"

Xu Sanduo shook his head: "I don't know."

"You have to know. You are a good soldier. The 702nd Regiment is not suitable for you. You should come and join us. That is your stage. Of course, the premise of all this is that you can pass the selection."

Seeing Xu Sanduo's hesitation, Yuan Lang, like in the original play, talked with Xu Sanduo for a while and did some ideological work on him. This is a necessary skill for officers, and they all know it.

Although he said that he would not force the recruitment, the meaning behind his words was always that you have to come.

After talking for a while, Yuan Lang clapped his hands: "Anyway, you can do it yourself."

If Xu Sanduo really had to do it, he would not say so much.

Although Xu Sanduo did not have the highlight moment of capturing Yuan Lang alive, Xu Sanduo's military skills and combat qualities are top-notch. Such a soldier is undoubtedly excellent, and he is a good soldier wherever he goes, and he is the favorite of the officers directly under him.

Of course, Yuan Lang did not want to miss a good soldier like Xu Sanduo. It would be fine if he didn't pass the selection, but he didn't think Xu Sanduo would fail...

Xu Sanduo nodded and asked, "What about Wang Yan? He's so awesome."

"Remember what I said during the drill last year?"

Xu Sanduo pondered for a moment and smiled, "You said you would definitely get him, and Wang Yan kicked you at that time."

He recalled the scene at that time, which was really funny.

Yuan Lang didn't care, and didn't feel embarrassed at all. He laughed: "Wang Yan can't run away. He will eventually come to my bowl."

"But he went to the military academy. By then, he will be a lieutenant. I heard that he can be a platoon leader."

"Then you don't have to worry about it." Yuan Lang said with a stern face, "You have to keep it a secret for me. You can't tell Wang Yan about what happened today. I want to give him a surprise."

"I'm afraid Wang Yan will beat you up. He really dares to beat you up."

"You can't beat me to death, right? Okay, just don't tell him."

Yuan Lang smiled, "You know Wang Yan is going too, are you happy now?"

Xu Sanduo smiled and nodded.

"Okay, that's all I have to say. You should perform well. If you can't pass the selection and can't come to Old A, it's useless to say anything. I'm leaving. No need to see you off."

Yuan Lang patted Xu Sanduo's shoulder, got up and left the dormitory of Class 3.

He hummed a song, strolled around, and looked very happy...

The next day, Wu Liuyi found Xu Sanduo and wanted to tell Xu Sanduo about the selection of Old A, only to find out that Xu Sanduo had already known about it and even met with Yuan Lang. Xu Sanduo also revealed the news that Wang Yan might still go to Old A in the end.

He frowned: "Is it true? Don't tell me that they are trying to trick you into going to Old A and use Wang Yan to seduce you?"

Xu Sanduo shook his head honestly: "I don't know."

"Then will you participate?"

"Yes."

Wu Liuyi smiled and said: "Okay, then I will go and see too. Let's work hard and try to get into Old A."

Xu Sanduo smiled innocently. He felt that there was hope again. He was very happy...
