The clerk asked, "Commissioner, you called me?"
"Go to the training ground as fast as you can and get that brat Zhang Qingdong to me."
"yes."
The clerk quickly turned and left.
Zhang Qingdong, with his gang, was wrestling with the soldiers under Wei.
The two camp members were shouting encouragement at the sidelines at the top of their lungs.
The clerk came running over and said, "Captain Zhang, Commissioner Zhou wants you to go to his office."
Zhang Qingdong was so excited that he didn't hear what the clerk said at all.
Chen Jianguo, who was standing by, picked up a fingernail-sized stone from the ground and threw it at Zhang Qingdong.
Zhang Qingdong turned around and yelled, "Which little bastard?"
Chen Jianguo said: "I..."
Zhang Qingdong: Hehehehe…
Chen Jianguo said: "Hurry up and go to Lao Zhou's office, he is calling you."
Zhang Qingdong rubbed his head that had just been hit, and yelled to his soldiers, "Don't lose, I can't afford to lose this person.
Whoever loses will have to run five kilometers off-road every day for the next month."
When soldier Zhang Qingdong heard this, he took advantage of soldier Wei Wei's inattention and knocked him down.
Wei shouted, "Everyone, set out immediately in five minutes."
On the training ground, Wei chased after the soldiers who had lost the game and started beating them.
The great soldier shouted, "We don't accept defeat. If you don't, let's have a five-kilometer race to see who can run faster."
Zhang Qingdong had already walked far away. He heard his soldiers laughing and saying, "If you lose, you lose. Don't be embarrassed by losing. If you want to run five kilometers, don't drag us along."
Zhang Qingdong paused after running a long way, turned back and pointed at his soldiers and said, "Show me, this is an order."
The group of people who were showing off just now became listless in an instant.
Why do you run away after losing?
Running away after winning?
Not playing by the rules!
It's inhumane.
Chen Jianguo couldn't help but smile as he watched these excited young men making noise and cheering.
Soon, under the leadership of several squad leaders, the group ran five kilometers.
Wei didn't say anything, he just walked around the training ground with Chen Jianguo.
Wei said: "Lao Jiang has been in power for a long time, and now it's my turn.
Lao Chen, we have been here for more than ten years. Sometimes I don’t know if the decision I made today is right. "
Chen Jianguo said: "I told you last time, you can go if you want to today, my wife has told me.
She said things will change, and it’s better to do it sooner rather than later.”
Wei took a deep breath and said, "I feel relieved after hearing your words."
In their time, most of them became police officers after they were demobilized.
Wei knew that he was the same.
He wanted to, and he had been mentally prepared since he left the rivers and seas.
Zhang Qingdong arrived at the door of Commissioner Zhou's office, raised his hand, knocked on the door and entered.
Zhang Qingdong said: "Commissioner, I'm on the training ground, what are you talking about?"
Zhou Yuwei looked serious. When he raised his eyes, he stared at Zhang Qingdong and asked, "How did you do in this exam?"
Zhang Qingdong's heart skipped a beat.
The test paper is black.
He felt it was great, and when he was answering the questions, he knew and was familiar with most of them.
Seeing Zhou Weiwei like this, why does he have a bad feeling?
Could it be that I did so badly in the exam that this guy Lao Zhou wanted to punish me?
Zhang Qingdong felt a little guilty. He stood up straight and lowered his voice a few degrees.
"Reporting to the committee, I think it's pretty good. I shouldn't get a zero."
Zhou Yiwei stood up, and Zhang Qingdong's heartbeat also increased a lot as Zhou Yiwei stood up.
Zhou Weiwei walked a few steps to Zhang Qingdong, raised his hands and placed them heavily on Zhang Qingdong's shoulders.
Zhang Qingdong shivered a little uneasily.
The next second, Zhou Wei shook him like crazy.
"Good boy, I knew you were good, you are the only one in our team who passed the exam.
Are you excited? Are you thrilled? "
Zhang Qingdong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Oh my god, he said that I can’t do too badly in the exam.
This could give him a concussion.
Just as he pushed the door open, the expression on the committee member's face made him feel a little uneasy.
In the office, there was the crazy laughter of Zhou Yiwei.
As long as someone from their team passes the exam, it's good.
After that day, Zhang Qingdong was not in a very happy mood.
He likes it here better than going to school.
However, he still has a farther and higher road to go.
Chen Jianguo was also happy for him.
At 4 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Qingdong came with a pound of peanuts and two bottles of wine.
When he arrived, he saw that the house was spotless, so he deliberately said, "Sister-in-law is not here, why are you cleaning the house so clean by yourself?
I wanted to change my shoes as soon as I came in, for fear of dirtying the cement floor."
Chen Jianguo laughed and said, "What do you know?"
It’s clean and tidy, which makes me feel comfortable.
Zhang Qingdong put the peanuts and wine on the table, sat down on the sofa, and said, "There is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"
Chen Jianguo poured a glass of water for Zhang Qingdong and placed it in front of him.
"Bad news."
Zhang Qingdong asked: "Why don't you ask me what the good news is?"
"Knowing the bad news, how can you not guess the good news?"
Zhang Qingdong: Well, she is still Chen Jianguo.
Zhang Qingdong said: "I'm going to die."
Just as Chen Jianguo's butt was about to land on the sofa, he paused and sat down again.
Chen Jianguo asked: "Did you pass the exam?"
Zhang Qingdong unscrewed the cap of the wine bottle, put it on the table, and pushed it towards Chen Jianguo.
"Um."
"This is great, we should celebrate."
"When?"
"Next month, I'll go back to see my wife and kids first, then go back to school in September."
Chen Jianguo smiled and said, "I'll give it to you when the time comes."
The two were silent for a while. Zhang Qingdong, who hadn't smoked for a long time, took out a cigarette and lit one for himself.
He handed one to Chen Jianguo, who took it and Zhang Qingdong lit it with a match.
There were clearly two people sitting on the sofa in the living room, but it was so quiet that there was no sound at all.
After a long while, Chen Jianguo said, "The old man will also die in the second half of his life."
Zhang Qingdong said: "I will come back when I have time. Thank you for taking care of me these days."
Chen Jianguo took a deep puff of cigarette and said, "Stop talking nonsense, just move forward when you have the chance.
I would like to move forward, but the little knowledge I have is not enough.
Just work hard, and when you become something great in the future, we can also benefit from it."
Zhang Qingdong smiled gently, and the two grown men clinked their bottles together in tacit understanding, then tilted their heads back and took a sip each.
Perhaps they all knew in their hearts that after separation, whether they could meet again or not was a matter of future events.
At the beginning of the month, Zhang Qingdong got the certificate, packed his things, said goodbye to Zhou Yiwei, and left quietly.
He didn't greet too many people because he didn't want others to see him crying.
In October of the same year, Wei left the team with his wife and children.
At this time, almost all the acquaintances around Chen Jianguo had left.
In the blink of an eye, it was September 1985.
At this moment, a piece of news that shocked the entire team came.
