Everyone else entered the dining room.

Tonight is the last day in the teaching team, and the food is very rich.

The cooking squad leader went to the town to buy vegetables early in the morning. When he came back, he asked the team below to send a squad to help carry today's food.

There are chicken, duck, fish, beer and drinks.

Today is the day when the students graduate. It should be a happy day, and it is also the most important day for the annual teaching team.

But Zhuang Yan and Xu Xingguo couldn't be happy anymore.

Solemnly turned his head to Xu Xingguo's direction with difficulty, he saw a pair of eyes full of hatred, like two sharpened awls, poking at him unceremoniously.

Xu Xingguo walked towards the solemn step by step.

The solemn can only stand in place, there is no way to avoid it.

At that moment, the solemnity had a magical feeling.

At a certain moment, he even believed in the kind of fatalism that was freely arranged in the dark.

I knew Xu Xingguo from the train station on my first day as a soldier, a recruit company and a recruit platoon, and they were still in the same class when they went to the training team together.

To say it is fate.

Two days ago, the two were still sitting in the back of the truck, talking about their ideals, their relatives, and their hometown, and they were very close.

In a blink of an eye, an order from Zhou Huping made the two stand on opposite sides again.

"Xu Xingguo, come with me to the team headquarters."

Zhou Huping interrupted the confrontation between the two.

When the two of them disappeared around the corner of the barracks, Wang Datong pushed Zhuang Yan with his hand and said, "Let's go, let's eat."

Zhuang Yan felt that something was stuck in his throat, and he wanted to speak but couldn't.

After standing for a while, he asked Wang Dazui: "Dazui, do you think Lao Xu will hate me to death?"

Wang Dazui's big mouth has an O shape.

He was wrong until what he said.

Said that Xu Xingguo did not hate solemnity? Isn't that bullshitting?

But if you want to talk about hatred, Zhuang Yan will also feel sad.

He had to force Zhuang Yan to walk towards the dining hall, comforting as he walked: "As I said, it's no big deal, look at me, look at me, people like me are actually kept in the team, let's The company commander will definitely jump and scold me that I am a traitor, and from now on, I will not dare to step into the gate of the 273rd regiment."

Zhuang Yan suddenly stopped, looked straight at Wang Datong and asked, "Dazui, I said I really never thought about staying in the teaching team, do you believe it?"

Wang Dazui said, "I believe it! Why don't you believe me? Don't you think I was also kept in the team in a daze?"

Zhuang Yan's eyes suddenly warmed, and his heart filled with endless sadness, and said, "But Xu Xingguo doesn't believe me, I think... my company commander won't believe me either..."

Wang Dazui was stunned.

Solemn speaks the truth.

He really didn't know how to comfort him.

...

In the small conference room of the squadron, Zhou Huping sat down in a chair, raised his head to Xu Xingguo who was still standing at the table, pointed to the chair opposite, and said, "Sit down."

Xu Xingguo's face was very red, and his eyes were a little red.

He sat down opposite Zhou Huping.

Zhou Huping took out a cigarette, took one himself, and threw one to Xu Xingguo.

Xu Xingguo scratched his neck and said, "I don't smoke."

Zhou Huping thought for a while, he wanted to persuade, but then he decided not to persuade him.

A cigarette was lit, and after a third of the smoke, the two of them still didn't speak.

In the end, Zhou Huping broke the silence: "Tell me, if you have any ideas, if I can help, I will try my best."

Xu Xingguo's drooping eyelids suddenly lifted, and he said, "I want to stay in the team and stay in the training team as a soldier."

Zhou Huping took a sharp breath and said, "No, you can't stay."

"Why?" Xu Xingguo's eyes turned even redder, "Why am I not qualified?"

The white smoke has enveloped Zhou Huping, he said lightly: "You are the best soldier in your company, I can't keep you, otherwise I can't explain it to your company commander."

Xu Xingguo couldn't bear it anymore, Huo Di stood up, and his words trembled: "You lied, you are making an excuse! The coaching team wants to keep people, it can't be kept, you don't care what the company thinks! "

"What I said is the truth." Zhou Huping said, "There is no excuse."

Xu Xingguo asked loudly: "Then why did you appoint me as a correspondent!? Why did you give me hope and finally took my hope away!? If you didn't appoint me as a correspondent in the first place, I didn't dare to think about it. Stay in the teaching team and be the monitor! It's all the hope you gave me!"

Zhou Huping still said in that calm tone: "Yes, I brought you up, but I have my reasons."

Xu Xingguo asked, "What reason!?"

Zhou Huping put out the cigarette **** in the ashtray and looked up at Xu Xingguo for the first time.

He said: "Because you are the best in training, and asking you to serve as a correspondent will not delay your training performance, it's not good to change someone else."

Xu Xingguo slumped back into the chair, as if he had lost his soul, and murmured, "Even Wang Datong can stay, but I can't stay..."

He smiled coldly.

Zhou Huping said: "You and Zhuangyan belong to the same company, and one company cannot keep two people, so the division will not agree."

Xu Xingguo said: "Then why can Zhuang Yan stay, but I can't? How am I worse than him!?"

Zhou Huping lit another cigarette and said, "He just doesn't like you, so I let him stay and let you go back. This is fair to Tie Balian."

"But it's not fair to me!" Xu Xingguo stood up again, "Captain Zhou, are you fair to me? Have you ever thought about my feelings?"

Zhou Huping remained calm: "I have thought about it, and I have thought about it, so it is a compensation for the outstanding students to give you."

"That's what I deserve!" Xu Xingguo's tears finally couldn't hold back, and the tears flowed down, "I deserve it as an outstanding student! In terms of training and style! How am I worse than others?! This outstanding student is me. of!"

Zhou Huping was silent for a moment and didn't speak any more.

Finally, he stood up and said to Xu Xingguo: "Whether to stay or not is the decision of the coaching team~lightnovelpub.net~ Being a soldier is to obey orders. If the coaching team did not leave you, it does not mean that you are not good. It just means you don't fit here."

He walked over to Xu Xingguo, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You will definitely make a difference in the 273 regiment. I wrote your student files myself. All other appraisals of the entire squadron are written by ghostwriting, and I am only responsible for it. Check it out, yours is the best written, and it will help you in your work after you go back."

Seeing that Xu Xingguo was still standing there, he sighed and said, "Come down to eat, I'll have a drink with you."

After that, he left the conference room and disappeared at the entrance of the stairs.

Xu Xingguo had been standing, not moving for a long time, like a statue carved out of stone.

In the direction of the dining hall, there was a sound of "dry" after another, which was the chant of wine shouted by the students while drinking.

It got dark early in winter, the tree shadows swayed outside the window, the cold wind blew, and the wooden clips on the newspaper racks in the conference room collided with each other, making a lonely snapping sound.

Xu Xingguo finally couldn't bear it any longer, and sat back in the chair, lying on the conference table, crying humbly.
