With Chen Yuanwu's support, Jiang Jun went to the gathering with confidence.
What surprised and delighted her was that He Xiangdong, Wang Aiping, Chen Yuefei and Xu Zhijian were all included in the internal quota this time.
When He Xiangdong saw Jiang Jun, he rushed over and leaned on her shoulder, sobbing softly, "Xiao Jun, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you I was coming."
Jiang Jun whispered, "Silly boy, this isn't something you can decide. Now that we're both here, you should be happy!"
When she went to register, she didn't know who else was there, and wanted to wait until the medical examination pass notice came out before telling He Xiangdong.
Wang Aiping whispered beside him, "That's right. Zhang Jie doesn't know yet. If she knew I was here, she would definitely ignore me."
Jiang Jun thought this was ridiculous. "We didn't decide this. If you spread the word, what will happen if no one can enlist? You're only worried about people ignoring you, but aren't you afraid of your dad being punished?"
Wang Aiping whispered, "Jiang Jun, Zhang Jie is so good to you, how can you say such hurtful words!"
What kind of stupid logic is this! How can friendship and confidentiality be mixed up?
Jiang Yun was about to retort when He Xiangdong hugged Jiang Yun and took a step away, covering Jiang Yun's mouth: "Xiao Yun, you still have a physical examination soon, don't get excited, blood pressure, blood pressure!"
Before going out, Bai Xiuzhen repeatedly warned her not to eat breakfast as it would affect her blood sugar, not to drink water when going out as it would affect her blood concentration, not to get angry as it would increase her blood pressure, and so on.
That's why He Xiangdong said this.
Although He Xiangdong usually seems careless, he always considers the overall situation at critical moments.
Unlike Wang Aiping, who usually seems to have a clear mind, he actually can't grasp the key points in this matter.
Jiang Jun had a plan in mind and reminded himself to keep a distance from Wang Aiping in the future, or at least not to waste time arguing with such a person who couldn't distinguish the important things from the trivial ones.
Zou Qizhi, the head of the Military Affairs Section, personally called the roll with the roster and explained the precautions for the physical exam. Finally, he said, "Regardless of whether you pass the physical exam or not, and whether you ultimately enlist, from now on, you must hold yourselves to the standards of a soldier. After the physical exam, return to division headquarters and disperse. You must return at two o'clock this afternoon to study the Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention. Have you memorized them all?"
The twenty or so children who were originally standing there sparsely and idly immediately became serious and answered in unison, "I remember."
Yao Minghui, an officer from the Military Affairs Department, lined them up and walked to the division hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, a nurse brought a stack of forms and distributed them to everyone, asking them to fill them out and then follow the nurse to do various examinations, divided into men and women.
When taking blood pressure, a doctor heard the nurse call Jiang Jun's name and turned around to look: "Hey, Jiang Jun, I know this student."
The leading nurse and several other girls turned to look at Jiang Yun.
Jiang Jun pointed at his nose and asked, "Do you know me?"
When she was admitted to the hospital, she only remembered Dr. Chen. The other nurse was just a medical soldier. She had just paid special attention but didn't see him.
The female doctor looked at Jiang Jun and said, "Your name is very unique, so I remember you. When you were brought to the hospital, you had cardiac arrest, and I was the one who performed CPR on you. I signed the duty record at that time. Later, I asked Doctor Chen to come and examine your brain."
Jiang Jun let out a sigh, feeling a bit uneasy. No wonder she'd managed to travel to this time and space. She'd said it was just a concussion, not a complete demise. If she'd experienced cardiac arrest, that would explain it. But, she wondered if these experiences would affect her medical exam results? Would they affect her ability to join the army?
He Xiangdong asked softly, "Xiaojun, was it that time last year when you fell and asked for leave? Was it that serious? I saw you were fine, walking and jumping around, so I thought it was just a few scratches."
Jiang Jun was very grateful to He Xiangdong for speaking up for him. He smiled and looked at the female doctor and asked, "If I pass this physical examination, does that mean I'm fully recovered?"
She was not a little girl who knew nothing. She did not burst into tears when she heard what the doctor said. Instead, she calmly sought the most reasonable answer.
The female doctor hadn't meant to find fault; she just happened to be deeply impressed by the incident and casually mentioned it. Seeing Jiang Jun's composure, she smiled and said, "Yes, as long as the cardiopulmonary function and all other indicators are normal, it won't affect your military service."
Fortunately, in the end, all the data in Jiang Yun's physical examination items were normal, only the liver function and blood test results would not come out until seven days later.
They heard from the nurse that blood test results are likely to have problems only for those with family genetic diseases. For teenagers like these, with bright complexions, healthy and lively, there will basically be no problems.
While waiting for the results of the physical examination, Jiang Jun calmly packed up all the books that could not be kept at home and handed them to Chen Yuanwu for safekeeping. She also gave Chen Yuanwu the collection of formulas she had compiled for reference.
Before Chen Yuanwu reported to the military sub-district, he specifically asked her, "Have you finished translating that birthday card?"
Jiang Yun smiled and practiced Tai Chi: "I've memorized it all. I'll translate it when I find an English dictionary."
New recruits were not allowed to bring their own personal belongings. The only items they had free disposal were daily necessities like toothpaste, toothbrushes, tooth cups, combs, mirrors, rubber bands, and toilet paper. This free disposal meant they could use as much as they wanted, as supplies were planned and limited in variety and brand. Even if they wanted to buy something different, it was difficult.
After listening to Chen Yuanwu's introduction to the life of a new soldier, Jiang Jun had already found a way to keep all the birthday cards.
Next, she hurried to finish knitting the sweater that was still missing one sleeve, and also embroidered more than a dozen new handkerchiefs, specially embroidering dates and different patterns on them, preparing to give them to her good classmates as souvenirs.
The day before she was to leave, she finally received a call from her grandparents who had come in a hurry.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren hugged each other and cried. Grandma Hong Guizhen felt distressed and relieved: "Dani'er is heading for a promising future. You must perform well in the army and be praised like your father!"
Grandpa Zhang Defei also comforted her: "Don't worry, Dani'er, your grandma and I are fine and will definitely take good care of the family."
Jiang Jun warned Jiang Lan: "No matter who asks me where I've been, just say you don't know!"
Jiang Lan was very well-behaved now: "Okay, I'll wait until I receive your letter to give the handkerchief you left behind to Sister Zhang Jie."
Jiang Jun was relieved. She could finally embark on a new journey with peace of mind!
On the day of departure, in order not to attract attention, these newly enlisted children did not change into new military uniforms like the new recruits, but wore their own casual clothes. The division headquarters sent a truck to take them to the train station.
Without big red flowers and without the sound of gongs and drums, they set off silently.
