Today is the tenth day that Ye Zhiqiu has joined the army. There is no drill today because there is a heavy snowstorm outside!
Fang Wenhai said helplessly, "Why is there so much snow this year? If it keeps snowing like this, we won't be able to do drills these next few days!"
Ye Zhiqiu said with a grin, "Hey, squad leader, just go! It just so happens that I was on a training march yesterday and my whole body was sore from walking. Let me rest for a while and recover!"
"Bullshit! What's that little strain? You have to keep exercising to make your body stronger! You still want to rest? Forget it! Shuanzi, count to Ye Zhiqiu and do two sets of 100 push-ups first!"
The soldier named Shuanzi raised his eyebrows and said happily, "Alright! Xiaoye is finally in my hands. I will give you a fair account of the consequences!"
Ye Zhiqiu said with a puzzled look, "Captain, please give me a replacement! I just won half a pack of cigarettes from Shuanzi yesterday, and you're asking him to count the money. Isn't this just asking me to come to you?"
"New recruit Ye Zhiqiu, listen to my orders!"
"Report to the squad leader, Ye Zhiqiu is here!"
"Do two sets of fifty push-ups on the spot. Execute immediately!"
Ye Zhiqiu had learned his lesson. If he didn't do it immediately, he would be kicked, so he obediently did push-ups.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, five, six, seven, eight, seven, eight, nine, ten..."
"Shuanzi, you bastard, just wait for me!"
"Ah? Xiaoye, you've disturbed me. I have to start counting again! One, two, three, four, five..."
In the hard training life, people always find ways to have fun. As soon as Fang Wenhai left, a group of people gathered around to watch Ye Zhiqiu do push-ups.
"Xiaoye, lower your butt a little. What are you trying to do with your butt sticking up so high?"
"If it's not up to standard, it won't count. We need to push it down a bit!"
Ye Zhiqiu was so angry that he laughed. Doing push-ups was already difficult, and he was bombarded with words from the crowd. He gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait for me!
Sooner or later, you will fall into my hands, and then I will definitely make you pay back..."
"Oh, he exploded! Let's count the bolts again, hehe!"
"Forget it, forget it. If I piss off Xiaoye, it'll be hard to smoke a cigarette from him. He holds a grudge very well."
No matter how much they laughed or how much they joked, Shuanzi would not go too far. At most, he would ask Ye Zhiqiu to do dozens more, but it was impossible for him to do it non-stop.
Fang Wenhai returned with a large paper bag in his hand. Ye Zhiqiu had already finished his push-ups, his legs trembling slightly from the soreness in his muscles.
Fang Wenhai said with a smile, "That's it for this afternoon! Now, whoever's name is called, come and get the letter!"
"A letter! That's great!"
"This time it's a day early. They sent a letter even during this blizzard?"
Ye Zhiqiu was also a little excited. He wondered if there were any letters for himself. He had just sent out his first letter two days ago, and he would send several letters at a time. One was for his family, one was for Chen Yimin and his family, and one was naturally for Feng Xiaomei!
As everyone received their letters, they excitedly went to read them. However, Ye Zhiqiu did not hear his name called until the very end, and his eyes looked a little lost.
Unexpectedly, Fang Wenhai sighed and said, "Xiao Ye, come with me! Your partner and your family have caused us a big problem!
I've never seen anyone so generous as to send so many things at once! I have to ask the battalion commander before I can decide whether I should give them to you."
Ye Zhiqiu was originally disappointed, but upon hearing this, he pointed at himself in disbelief and asked, "Squad Leader, are you saying there's a letter from me?"
Fang Wenhai took the lead and walked out, and his voice came over.
"It's more than just a letter! They also sent two large packages. I don't know why they sent so many things..."
Ye Zhiqiu showed an excited smile on his face, and quickly caught up with Fang Wenhai, asking questions excitedly.
"Squad leader, is this letter from my family or my boyfriend?"
"Both, two large packages. The items inside are quite valuable. I don't know what to do!"
"What are those things? Tell me about them!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You can see for yourself later!"
Following Fang Wenhai to the combat meeting room, he handed the letter to Ye Zhiqiu and asked him to read it here. He would go to inform the battalion commander and ask him about the situation before confirming whether he could take the things back.
There are two letters, but they are not written by two people.
Ye Zhiqiu opened a letter. There were several large sheets of paper with various handwritings on them!
It began with a message from Wang Fugui: "Grandson, I'm glad to see you in person. It's been ten days since you left home to join the army. In the first few days, your mother missed you so much that she used a little too much salt in her cooking, but that's calmed down a bit now.
Wu Bing came home from school and hugged Xiao Mei and cried. The deep affection between you two siblings moved your grandfather. When your father heard the news, he was furious, but everything subsided because of the crying Xiao Mei... "
Ye Zhiqiu's eyes grew moist as he watched. Wang Fugui explained the recent situation at home and told him to focus on training. If the army didn't let him return in two years, he would find someone to arrange for his return.
Wang Fugui said everything he needed to say. The letters from his family were all kinds of instructions and words of longing, and he also briefly talked about work matters.
Ye Tianya said that he didn't know why his job was suddenly transferred. His job changed from a porter to a technical worker, and he is currently learning how to operate the machine.
Wang Xiaolan's words were filled with longing, and she was worried that he wouldn't be able to endure the hardships in the army. She also said that Feng Xiaomei came home whenever she could, and that she was much better now, but she often went to lie in his room, which made her a little worried.
Ye Wubing wrote that he had been studying very hard recently and would take good care of his younger sister at home in the future. At the end, he also said that he missed his elder brother.
Ye Zhiqiu smiled. This brat was often beaten by him and ordered around by him because he was ignorant and didn't take care of Ye Bailu. Unexpectedly, now that he was not at home, he became sensible and knew to take care of his sister.
Ye Zhiqiu was a bit amused by what Ye Bailu wrote. She just missed her big brother so much that she was about to cry. She missed the food he cooked, the meat he brought home, and she wanted him to come back soon...
After Ye Zhiqiu finished reading the letter, he folded it and was about to put it back into the envelope, but he found that there was something else inside.
It turns out there were five Big Black Tens inside. These careless people didn't even mention it when they sent the money. And there's really no need for that!
Because there was a hundred yuan in the letter Ye Zhiqiu sent back home, he wanted to give it to Wang Xiaolan as a subsidy and buy more meat for the family to supplement their nutrition!
After putting the money in his pocket, Ye Zhiqiu put the letter back into the envelope, folded it in half, and put it in the inner pocket of his coat.
Then, needless to say, the letters on the table were all written by Feng Xiaomei to herself.
Ye Zhiqiu rubbed his face and wanted to take the letter to read it, but Fang Wenhai came back with people!
Not only the battalion commander Ou Jiahao, but also the instructor Qu Qingsong, the company commander Huo Dazhuang, and the platoon leader Cai Laifu all came!
