The collective drinking of Coke is when everyone has just finished eating.

For the training team members, there is nothing more comfortable than sitting on the steps of the row house or in the room after a hard day of training, or sitting on the fence of the clothes yard and drinking a bottle of frozen Coke.

However, Zhuang Yan found that he couldn't find Tang Wenkai.

The battalion commander is the protagonist.

How can you drink Coke without being a battalion commander?

Zhuang Yan took a bottle of Coke and looked for Tang Wenkai everywhere.

I searched upstairs, but couldn't find it.

So I went downstairs and looked around the barracks.

I thought it would be the first time today, so Comrade Tang Wenkai, the battalion commander, wanted to find a place to be quiet and calm down his happy little mood.

As a result, as soon as they got around the corner of the camp owner, they saw the captain Xu Weiguo and Tang Wenkai walking on the concrete road in the camp area dozens of meters away.

Taking a closer look, Xu Weiguo seemed to be saying something, occasionally raising his hand to make a gesture.

Tang Wenkai hooked his head, looking very quiet, his eyes seemed to be fixed on the road.

Zhuang Yan felt that there must be something to do, so it shouldn't be disturbed.

Tang Wenkai was called on the training ground that day, and when he came back, he looked a little wrong.

Later, I heard that the army commander came that day.

Commander Tang?

Others don't know it, of course Zhuang Yan knows it.

That was the battalion commander's father.

However, Tang Wenkai never seemed to mention his father in front of anyone.

Someone mentioned it occasionally, but he also had a dark face and was gloomy and silent.

Zhuang Yan felt that his relationship with his army commander's father might not be very good.

Actually, it's no wonder, wasn't it the same way back then?

There is a father who was in the army, or a father who served in the army himself. Many people feel this way. I feel that my father is not called a father, but a chief.

Exactly.

Say no to two, you can't tolerate any resistance.

If you dare to resist, those eyes will stare like two sharp knives that pierce your heart, making you not even have the courage to raise your head.

If you are stubborn and dare to resist, then you will definitely be waiting for a meal of braised pork in rattan.

That old-fashioned soldier's style, he will definitely not force you to act blindly if you can, which makes many young people from military families hate it, even if they dare not scold them face to face, they will scold them behind their backs - warlords!

However, this usually happens during adolescence, when you grow up, become a soldier, mature and figure it out, you can understand why your parents did this.

This battalion commander has more than three cards, yet he is still so stiff with his father?

Besides, his father was also the commander of Army Group C.

My son is serving as a soldier in his father's army...

Tsk tsk.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Yan did not dare to go there.

After waiting for a while, Xu Weiguo and Tang Wenkai seemed to have ended their conversation, and the two parted ways—Xu Weiguo walked towards the general building of the brigade headquarters, and Tang Wenkai walked towards the barracks where the training team was located.

"Captain!"

When Tang Wenkai came to him, Zhuang Yan suddenly shouted.

"Ah—it's solemn." Tang Wenkai was obviously taken aback, and was pulled out of his complicated thoughts.

"Here, Coke." Shan Yan handed over the Coke.

Tang Wenkai took the Coke and smiled: "It wasn't me who won, they invited you to drink Coke, right? How did you get a treat?"

Zhuang Yan said indifferently: "It's all the same. I will celebrate your first championship today."

Tang Wenkai didn't say anything, he went straight to the roadside and sat on the roadside, unscrewed the bottle cap, and said with emotion: "Today is luck, do you think I didn't see it? If Xu Xingguo hadn't been with you, I am. There's no chance of being first."

Zhuang Yan sat down beside him and said, "There is no such thing in this world. If you win, you will win, if you lose, you will lose. If? If you go back in time, I won't let myself be so stupid when I was young. Now that I think about my old ways, I feel ashamed myself."

"Go back in time... Go back in time..." Tang Wenkai seemed to be very emotional about Zhuang Yan's words. After taking a sip of Coke, he looked at the stars in the sky in the distance.

"Solemnly, if you could really go back in time, what would you choose to do when you were in the army or when you first joined the army?"

Zhuang Yan did not expect Tang Wenkai to suddenly ask such a question.

He was stunned for a while.

After a long time, he said, "If you can reverse the flow...a lot of things can be done..."

"For example, I can study hard and not make my parents angry... For example, I can be more mature and not make trouble at school, I think I am very powerful, but now I look stupid... Or, I can go back to fighting the flood That day, I went to stop a comrade-in-arms and told him not to rush to dig soil with the car that day, and even if he did, he would avoid that big rock..."

Zhuang Yan thought of the old confusion, and felt a little sour in his heart.

"Your comrade-in-arms died during the flood fight?" Tang Wenkai asked.

Zhuang Yan took a deep breath: "Yeah, he didn't sacrifice on the embankment, everyone thought it would be safe to leave the embankment, but when he went to dig earth, he suddenly collapsed and was pressed by a big rock, we put It's too late for him to dig it out..."

Tang Wenkai listened quietly, and suddenly his eyes became a little wet.

"Majestic, am I a good battalion commander?"

He suddenly asked a question out of nowhere.

"what?"

Zhuang Yan was a little overwhelmed.

"Forget it, of course you do. Battalion commanders like you are rare. Look at our training team. Besides you, who else is a battalion-level cadre?"

Tang Wenkai said, "Do you know what Team Xu was looking for from me just now?"

Again, this sentence is a no-brainer.

Zhuang Yan could vaguely guess something, but he didn't want to say it.

"have no idea."

He shook his head, feeling that it would be better for him to mind his own business.

Tang Wenkai said, "My dad came to see me yesterday."

"Commander Tang?"

"Yeah." Tang Wenkai said, "I haven't spoken to him for several years, and I suddenly felt a little emotional when I heard what you said about going back in time."

"Have a quarrel?" asked solemnly.

"Well, not only did we quarrel, but we almost cut off the father-son relationship." Tang Wenkai said.

Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment.

Unexpectedly, the relationship between the commander and his son has become so tense.

Tang Wenkai drank Coke, looked up at the sky, and continued, "I heard you say that I am a good battalion commander, so I feel more at ease."

He turned his face to the side and looked at the solemn: "I don't just live for myself."

Zhuang Yan saw a strange light in Tang Wenkai's eyes.

"I promised my old squad leader that I would live a good life, and I must be an excellent soldier."

"Actually, when I was in the army, people were quite stupid. You said that a child born in a military family like me has no sense of superiority in my heart. That's a lie, at least I do. I always feel that I I am very powerful. After enlisting in the army, I am not used to this, and I am not used to it. On the surface, I am polite and low-key. It is not because of my nature, but because I feel that I cannot be as knowledgeable as ordinary soldiers. To put it bluntly , is a little arrogant in my heart."

"I was the squad leader of the recruits, and later the squad leader of the lower company. He was from the northwest, and he was as simple as the loess high slope. At that time, I couldn't play with my comrades in the class. I always played alone. Just training, I I didn’t want to work too hard. I originally wanted to go directly to the military academy. In high school, my grades were good, but my dad felt that if you want to be a professional soldier in the army, you have to start in the army. If you haven’t been a soldier, you don’t understand Soldiers, if you don’t understand soldiers, you can’t lead soldiers, so they caught me and threw them into the army.”

"I thought at that time, three years, just three years, I will be admitted to the military academy. The grades are normal. Anyway, my father is in the army, and I can't even go to a military academy? I wanted to make me a good piece of steel and train me to the death. To be honest, I hated him at first, and even thought about transferring from the original company to avoid this plague god. Said that the 4th Division Reconnaissance Company is good, just stay there and bring you down!"

"In the second year, I was trained by my squad leader, went to the teaching team and came back, and became the deputy squad leader. My old squad leader has already served overtime. He has a low education and can't be admitted to the military school. The standard of doing things is to be a volunteer soldier or something. That year, the company's volunteer quota for him was approved. You have also been in the 1st division. You know how rare it is for volunteers in our grass-roots combat company... Approved On the day we came down, the stingy squad leader called us to a small shop outside the camp and asked the people in our squad and the platoon leader to have a good meal. That day... I was really happy..."

"After less than a week, the division pulled the zipper, the routine long-distance zipper, the weather was bad in summer, it always rained in the mountains, the car carrying the ammunition slipped on the mountain road and couldn't get up, so we marched on the side of the road, and there was a military vehicle. Sliding backwards, no one paid much attention at night... I was pushed away by my squad leader, he saw it, pushed me and a comrade beside me, and was pushed into the ditch by the car..."

Speaking of which, Tang Wenkai took a sip of Coke and wiped the corners of his eyes.

"After pulling him out and taking him to the hospital, the doctor said that the ribs in his chest were all broken... they were inserted into the lungs, and he was bleeding heavily... I couldn't save him..."

"On the way to the hospital, my monitor woke up for a while, maybe it was a flashback, and when he saw me beside him, he grabbed my hand and held it back for a long time... I will never forget that sentence for the rest of my life, he said, I No way...Tang Wenkai, you're an X-day person, listen to Russia, in this life...be a good soldier in this life...don't let Russian Bai give up this life...you have a conscience, go back to Russia every year to see the old lady... "

Speaking of which, Tang Wenkai covered his face and lowered his head.

Zhuang Yan felt uncomfortable.

Hearing this, his chest felt tight.

I didn't expect Tang Wenkai to have such a past.

It seems that everyone has their own past.

After a while, Tang Wenkai raised his head and said, "From that day on, I have sworn that I will not let my old squad leader down, I must be the best soldier, otherwise, my old squad leader will die in vain... I don't live by myself, I also have to live for my old monitor... So every year, I send money to their family according to his original address. The year I was admitted to the military academy, I went to the monitor's hometown for the first time. In front of his mother, I swear that as long as I, Tang Wenkai, are alive for a day, I will serve her like her own mother, take care of her and die, and wear hemp and filial piety..."

"The battalion commander...you are a good soldier." Zhuang Yan didn't know how to comfort Tang Wenkai.

Tang Wenkai said: "I haven't mentioned this to anyone for many years. In fact, not many people know about it. Many comrades in arms have changed careers. The current Xu Brigade is our deputy company commander back then, and he also knows it. My father and I have conflicts, he I know a little bit."

"Just for this? No way?" Zhuang Yan said in surprise.

Tang Wenkai shook his head: "Of course not, my army commander's father himself told me that as long as I am alive, I will remember the kindness of others, and the mother of the old squad leader is as filial as my own mother. My father sacrificed a few A comrade-in-arms who passed away, he gives them money every year and visits them to pay New Year's greetings to them."

"Then why did you and your father fall out?" asked solemnly.

Tang Wenkai said, "I married my old monitor's sister."

"Ah?" Zhuang Yan was taken aback, and he was immediately numb.

When he arrived, he said, "This... it doesn't seem to matter. The unmarried daughter is married, and the marriage is free. What's wrong? The commander doesn't like it?"

"He doesn't like it." Tang Wenkai said, "So he fell out with me."

"Just for this?" Zhuang Yan said curiously, "Does our army commander have such a deep insight?"

"It's not for this, his father has been a poor peasant for three generations, and he is so hypocritical." Tang Wenkai shook his head.

Majesty is even stranger.

Since it's not for this reason, what is it for?

Is it...

Ugly?

Look at Tang Wenkai, he can be regarded as a talented person with a dignified appearance.

Could it be because of the appearance of the old monitor's sister?

It stands to reason that a person like an army commander shouldn't judge people by appearances?

Zhuang Yan couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he asked, "battalion commander, is it..."

"Is it what?"

"Does my sister-in-law look like..." Zhuang Yan hurriedly stopped: "I'm just asking."

"Fuck you!" Tang Wenkai touched his body and found a thin wallet, like a business card holder, leather.

After opening it, there are two photos inside, one is a family photo, and the other is a photo of a single woman.

He put the photo in front of the solemn.

"Look, your sister-in-law is a great beauty!"

Looking at it solemnly, it is indeed fair and beautiful.

"Hey! It's so beautiful! Is this your child?"

"Yes, my son." Tang Wenkai said, "I'm only three years old. Now your sister-in-law is working in the streets of Linhai. The local government takes care of the military's policy and arranges it there. When the training is over, or at the end of the year, if you are free , just go to my house, I will ask your sister-in-law to cook you Northwestern cuisine, ready to eat!"

"Okay! I'll definitely be there! I'll bring my wife. She always said that the jianjing noodles in Beijing is delicious. I'll let her compare her craftsmanship with her sister-in-law and see other people's northwest noodles."

After a pause, he said, "battalion commander, my sister-in-law is so nice, why doesn't the commander like it?"

In his opinion, the battalion elder looked like a virtuous wife, and the family of three seemed to be happy, so why didn't the commander like it?

Could it be that the concept of pedigree is at work?

Tang Wenkai looked at the sky and began to be dazed again.

After a while, he suddenly cursed, "Warlord!"

Zhuang Yan suddenly had black lines all over his head and thought to himself, battalion commander, you scold your father and our army commander like this, is it really okay?
