Cadet training is somewhat similar to military training, but it is different.
Military training usually involves sending some officers and soldiers from the army to lead students in practicing marching formations, physical fitness, and marching in a simple formation.
Learning to be a soldier is different. What you learn is the soldiers’ spirit of enduring hardships and standing hard work.
The army also provides some officers and soldiers to lead them, but their daily routine and training are the same as those of the soldiers, and five-kilometer marches are part of daily life.
Jiang Shiyue thought he had passed and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Chen Shanhe kept thinking about the words "return to the start of school military training" in his heart, and even planned to go back and find someone to check whether the school where Jiang Shiyue attended before going to the countryside was really like this.
**
After settling Jiang Shiyue, Chen Shanhe and his son returned to the compound.
Jiang Shiyue sent them to the gate, and tears started to flow before she could say a word.
Chen Shanhe raised his hand, gently brushed his thumb under her eyes, and sighed helplessly, "Why are you still crying? There are so many people coming and going here. If someone didn't know, they would think I did something to you."
Jiang Shiyue didn't say anything, and her tears fell even faster, so fast that Chen Shanhe couldn't wipe them away.
Chen Shanhe himself didn't understand why his hands, which could tighten the most delicate screws, looked so clumsy in front of Jiang Shiyue.
Jiang Shiyue suddenly threw herself into Chen Shanhe's arms and hugged his waist.
Chen Shanhe subconsciously raised his hands and looked around.
On the last day of registration, the school gate was packed with people. The family of three was already quite eye-catching, and their public embrace at the gate drew constant stares from passing students, who almost stopped to stare.
Chen Shanhe was a little embarrassed, not knowing how to push her away or hug her.
The thin clothes around my chest quickly became damp and hot.
Chen Shanhe hesitated for a while, but finally put his hands around Jiang Shiyue's waist and said, "Don't cry!"
"I want to drop out of school! I don't want to be separated from you."
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's not easy to get into a university?!" Chen Shanhe comforted her with a helpless smile.
How could he feel good?!
After being comforted for a long time, Jiang Shiyue finally stopped crying. She sobbed and her eyes were red.
Chen Shanhe cruelly took Yangyang's hand and walked towards the bus stop, not daring to look back.
Jiang Shiyue's tears were like a handful of sand in his heart.
Jiang Shiyue chased for a few steps and then stopped.
Emotionally, she didn't want to be separated from Chen Shanhe.
Intellectually, she knew that this separation was inevitable.
Even if we don't separate today or tomorrow, we will separate the day after tomorrow.
Chen Shanhe's job is different from that of ordinary people. He won't report his disappearance even if he disappears for a few days.
Instead of being trapped in the staff housing complex and living in fear every day, it is better to work hard in your respective fields and strive to become the best version of yourself.
Seeing that the father and son had walked a long way away, Yangyang suddenly broke free from Chen Shanhe's hand and ran back.
"Mom." Yangyang started crying when she was still some distance away from Jiang Shiyue, "Are you going back? Are you leaving us? Are you..." not wanting me anymore.
Jiang Shiyue wondered where she was going back to? The dormitory?
Seeing Yangyang's face filled with tears, she suddenly realized that he was asking her whether she wanted to go back forty years later.
Last time, in her hometown, Yangyang once asked her if Jiang Shiyue would go back if she had the chance.
At that time, Jiang Shiyue told Yangyang that she had not made up her mind yet.
Jiang Shiyue squatted down, looked at Yangyang, and patted his little head. "No. Although I can't decide whether to go back or not. But if I can choose, I will choose to stay. I said I won't abandon you on my own initiative. If one day... it will be of my own accord."
Yang Yang choked up and said, "Really?"
Jiang Shiyue raised her little finger.
Yang Yang and Jiang Shi Yue shook hands, put their thumbs together, and emphasized, "A liar is a puppy!"
Jiang Shiyue kissed Yangyang on the forehead and hugged him, "I won't lie to you."
I was so busy with my own affairs that I forgot that Yangyang is only three years old.
He was usually too sensible and quiet, which made her ignore his feelings for a while.
As an adult, she found it difficult to bear the pain of separation, let alone Yangyang who depended on her so much.
Jiang Shiyue hugged Yangyang and spoke softly and soothingly, just like Chen Shanhe comforted her. She promised to go home after the winter vacation and said that she would bring him with her next year.
Chen Shanhe stood not far away.
His eyes were complicated and his fingertips were slightly cold.
Will she leave?
I still can't decide whether to leave.
He really wanted to go up and question Jiang Shiyue.
Finally, it stopped moving.
***
Jiang Shiyue’s second college life began like this.
A very novel experience.
First, there is no military training in universities nowadays.
Second, the learning atmosphere is very different.
In my previous life, no matter how hard I studied, the prerequisite was to pass the civil service exam or the postgraduate entrance exam. It was completely different from studying hard during the night in high school.
Jiang Shiyue is also a top student. He eats and drinks as he pleases, and travels whenever he wants during holidays.
The learning atmosphere at the university she attended in this life made her feel that it was more like high school than university.
The difference is probably that she was forced to take the exam when she was in high school, otherwise she would not be able to get into university.
Today's college students are more proactive and rely entirely on their own initiative to study. The learning atmosphere is even more intense than that of Jiang Shiyue's high school in his previous life.
Study hard when you have classes, and go to the library study room to continue studying hard when you don’t have classes.
Either reading by lamplight at night or getting up earlier than the rooster.
Jiang Shiyue thought that this was probably because his desire for knowledge had been suppressed for too long.
Everyone seems to be afraid that going to college will be a flash in the pan, so they work hard to absorb knowledge.
I'm really studying like my life depends on it.
Unfortunately, she doesn't have that spirit.
Knowledge also advances by leaps and bounds with the times.
The college entrance examination questions of this era are not as difficult as the high school entrance examination questions forty years later.
Similarly, university knowledge is not difficult for Jiang Shiyue.
Of course, it can only be said that most of it is not difficult. The major she chose in this life is a blind spot in her knowledge from her previous life, and she also needs to start learning from scratch.
But at least I have a higher starting point than other students.
Moreover, Jiang Shiyue’s focus at this stage is not on studying.
First of all, I had just separated from Chen Shanhe and Yangyang, and I couldn’t help feeling empty and uncomfortable.
The first thing Jiang Shiyue had to do was to restore communication with Chen Shanhe.
There is a phone in Chen Shanhe's office, and she needs to deal with the school's phone problems.
There are four public telephones in the school.
There is one in the school message room, one in the boys' dormitory, one in the girls' dormitory, and one in the school canteen.
They are all charged.
In 1978, letters were still the primary means of communication. Even if students were willing to spend the few cents to make a phone call, their families might not have the means to answer the phone. But at the beginning of the school year, many students were calling home to report their safety, and there were long lines of students waiting in front of every phone.
Jiang Shiyue looked at the long queue with a bit of distress. If this continued, it would be a luxury to talk to Chen Shanhe on the phone every day.
It would be nice to have a cell phone.
But she knew in her heart that there was no mobile phone, let alone a big brother.
Even walkie-talkies cannot achieve wireless communication over long distances.
Jiang Shiyue sighed. This was forcing her to make a mobile phone!
