At the beginning of 83, according to the personnel situation of veterans and recruits after they were discharged from the army, the personnel of the four areas of responsibility were adjusted, and Zeng Neyou no longer cooked and went to take over the administrative area in charge of Wu Xianggen.

Hua Shenggen is in charge of cooking.

Hua Shenggen and I enlisted in the same batch, and his education level is not high, and he is the only one from Fuyang in the same batch of soldiers.

Although the friends of Zhang Guoxing and Sone, who cooked rice in the previous two times, are also good, after all, they are older than me.

The army pays more attention to seniority, and I also respect them very much, and take the initiative to help them do something.

By the time Hua Shenggen cooked, I was able to be half a guide.

Hua Shenggen would often come to my room to sit and talk to me about everything.

His father was the secretary of the brigade, his mother was no longer alive, and he had two younger brothers at home.

He said that he only wanted to learn something in the army, and when he went back, he could help his father take on the responsibility of the family.

He was very envious of my parents, who were sound and well-educated.

"You will definitely be an official!"

He thinks that I am smarter, more upright and kind, and he has high expectations.

He knew that I was reviewing my homework, so I didn't have to worry about the house, and if I bought less vegetables, he would take the initiative to go to the vegetable field and pick some self-grown vegetables to make some supplements.

There were a few times when I was unwell and he offered to help me go grocery shopping.

I always felt that although he was the same age as me, he was precocious and harder than me.

I often help him write letters home, and accompany him to Ah Ying's shop to learn how to make steamed buns.

Once we sat together on the side of the road and chatted, and I solemnly promised him:

"If I have a chance, I will take you out!"

At that time, I was young and vigorous, and I didn't know how high the sky was, but when I said this, my heart was sincere. Because I know that he is an honest man, and he is good to me, I cannot owe him anything.

More than 20 years later, he and his wife (the beautiful Xiaohua of Qiancang Village) came to see me in the army, and they still recalled that sentence.

It was I who broke my word.

Maybe I don't have that energy either.

Three of the five new recruits also don't know how to ride bikes.

I remembered my own situation and took the initiative to help them help the car and encourage them:

"Look ahead! Look forward! ”

It's really tiring to help people who can't ride bikes, especially Pan Gaokuan, who is more heavy and has poor coordination, and I was dragged to the ground by him several times.

But I remembered that others had helped me in the same way, and I kept persevering, and I was so tired that I was sweating profusely.

It's very nice to see them slowly get into the car on their own.

Because they are all from Zhoushan, there is a kind of regional kinship, which boils down to the "hometown concept" in the army.

They often come to my office in pairs to sit and chat, and in fact I have become a gathering point for these little fellows.

In fact, none of them are younger than me, even if they are the same age, they are older than me.

I often compare my age with others, as long as the other party says that it is a dragon in 64, I will directly tell the other party, "You are the brother, I am the brother!" ”

Because I was too young when I joined the army, I changed the lunar calendar to the solar calendar, and in fact I was born in January of '65.

And Pan Gaokuan is almost 2 years older than me.

But I'm a veteran, and they respect me both on the outside and on the inside.

I'm also a straightforward person, and if I find something wrong with them, I'll point it out directly.

There were a few of them who smoked, and when I didn't have money to buy cigarettes, I would help them put them on first, and I remember that there were still people who had a few dollars to pay back when I left.

I think they may have forgotten, and they are not too embarrassed to ask for it, so they should do the fellow a small favor.

In fact, the leaders of the institute and Wang Guomin, a group of veterans, can also see my influence in the two batches of recruits, once Wang Dongjian did not obey the management of the squad leader, and also acted rudely to the squad leader, and the leader came to ask for my opinion.

I was resolute: "It must be punished!" ”

The handling of this incident has made everyone understand my character better.

It also laid a good foundation for me to be reappointed as the class leader that year.
