Chapter Eighty-Six: Applying for Military Academy
Due to the freezing weather, the snow melts a little slowly.
During the three-day Spring Festival holiday, I was in the office, which just allowed me to read some review materials and practice exercises, and I had a very fulfilling time.
On the morning of the fourth day of junior high school, I rode my bicycle to Cui Jiao'ao Market to buy groceries, and there was still scattered snow on the road, and thin ice chips were attached to the surroundings, which was a little dazzling under the reflection of the morning light, but the air was exceptionally fresh.
The peak of Zhushan Mountain in the distance is still silvery-white, and it emits a hazy glow under the light, which is very beautiful against the background of the blue sky and thin clouds.
On the road, I met a group of people who walked with relatives, wearing new clothes and new shoes that they rarely wear, which were particularly clean, but there was an indescribable taste, and I always felt that this outfit was not very familiar with this body.
Most of the pedestrians carried red, red, green and green gift boxes, and few were empty-handed.
They all have smiles on their faces, and when they see me riding by, their eyes always look at me.
When I went to Dancheng to report the bills a few years ago, I bought a white high-necked cotton shirt at a roadside stall, and I usually pulled the collar very low, and I pulled the collar up on the way to buy groceries to prevent my throat from getting cold.
This grass-green military suit with a snow-white collar and a handsome young man may also be a scenery in the remote countryside.
However, they will hurriedly withdraw their gaze to see if the new shoes have stepped on the snow and puddles.
I also ride with extra care to prevent snow from getting on them.
When I arrived at the market, I was dumbfounded, there was no one to see at the usually crowded intersection, and the food station selling meat was closed.
I thought to myself that I was in trouble today, and I didn't have many dishes to prepare, how about this New Year's holiday?
I was in a hurry to go inside, but fortunately I was a little closer to the inside at the turn, and I saw 4 or 5 people setting up stalls.
On the way back, the bike fell off the chain again.
I've been knocked off this bike many times over the past year, and it's not in as good condition as it used to be.
From time to time, the chain rubs against the cover, making a "click, click" sound, and the footboard is often stuck.
But despite that, my car was the newest in the whole company, but it was used a little savagely.
If it's really hard to ride, I'll fix it, continue to climb the hill, and go on the road every day.
Sometimes I think stupidly: this car is my best friend, through thick and thin, sharing joy and bitterness!
In mid-March, I received a notice from my superiors that registration for the 83rd Chinese People's Armed Police School entrance examination began.
Two hard conditions:
The first is the education level of high school graduation.
Second, more than two years of military experience.
In addition, there are those who are under the age of 22 and those who have relaxed the age requirements.
I'm the only one in the entire institute who is eligible.
According to the requirements, individuals register, and the organization will report after review and approval.
The leader told me that the list had been reported, and asked me to prepare well.
I know that the final examination list will still have to be reviewed by the brigade and detachment, but based on my performance since joining the army, there should be no problem.
However, at that time, there was only one school in the national border guards, and the competition must have been very fierce.
I secretly cheered myself: "This may be my last chance to change my life, I must be admitted!" ”
From that day on, in addition to completing my work tasks, I devoted myself to revision.
The other comrades in the institute were very supportive of me and tried to give me more time to review.
In mid to late April, I received a phone call informing me to take the preliminary exam.
I was nervous when I saw the notification, but I felt that the effect of the review was still relatively good, and I was very confident in myself.
The exam registration and accommodation place is the second guest house of the military sub-district on the edge of the Moon Lake in Ningbo, and I feel very cordial when I come to this place for the second time.
When I reported for duty, I met Zhang Zhongping, a classmate in high school, and Shan Guohua, who enlisted in the same commune.
Shan Guohuafen encountered it once in the Western Translation Institute.
After Zhang Zhongping's recruit company was separated, he went to the Ninghai Kipshan Frontier Police Station and never met.
We were very excited that we hadn't seen each other for nearly two years, so we came to my room and chatted for a while.
When it comes to exams, I don't feel sure.
However, Zhang Zhongping and I have been together for 4 years from junior high school to high school, but they are not as good as me when I don't have to study hard, and I don't think he is my opponent.
As for Shan Guohua, who is one year older than me, has been out of school longer than me, and I don't feel like my opponent.
After dinner, I walked alone to the Moon Lake for a while, and returned to my room early to rest and prepare for the next day's exam.
