Reborn Sanitary

March 1996, 3, one o'clock in the afternoon.

After the recruiting parade, the collective dinner was over. Back to the barracks to pack up the new recruits for the next company, waiting in the barracks, Xu Tao had a tied backpack and two bags when he came.

At this time, Xu Tao felt relieved. After talking to Zou Xiangqian, he waited for a week without any news. Xu Tao, who thought it was useless, suppressed the disappointment and frustration in his heart and continued to build his heart, but he didn't expect Zou Xiangqian to find himself yesterday and said that he had agreed Now, I went to the health team of the Ground Artillery Brigade. Xu Tao felt happy in his heart. Now Xu Tao was sure that the person his brother-in-law was looking for must be Zou Xiangqian. He was able to return to the place where he had lived for more than ten years. The joy in Xu Tao's heart could not be concealed. Xu Tao, who thanked and thanked again, walked around outside before reluctantly suppressing his joy and returning to the barracks.

Perhaps it was because he was in a good mood. During the performance, Xu Tao felt that everything was going well. Although he was still not a recruit, Xu Tao's grades rose to the upper middle for the first time. It was the tail of the crane, no longer a hindrance. At the moment when the results were announced, Xu Tao felt that even the sky was dazzlingly blue.

After the meeting, Lu Hai walked back to the barracks and saw the recruits waiting inside, with a relaxed smile on his face, "Are you all ready?"

"Ready." The loud answer made Lu Hai laugh. One after another, Lu Hai walked in front of the recruits. Every recruit Lu Hai expressed his blessing. When Lu Hai walked in front of Xu Tao, Lu Hai stretched out his hand He straightened Xu Tao's collar, "Xu Tao, you are the most resilient soldier I have ever seen. The squad leader hopes that in the future military career, your tenacity will not be lost. No matter when, you must step by step Go forward steadily, don't look back and don't regret, as long as you choose, you will go up even if you try your best."

Xu Tao slightly raised his head to look at Lu Hai, with a smile on his face, "Squad leader, I will, I will definitely not let you down or let myself down."

Lu Hai smiled and patted Xu Tao's shoulder, and then walked down. When Kang Mingqing walked back to the barracks, he saw Lu Hai standing in front of the last recruit and explained, Kang Mingqing smiled, "Old Lu, let's go!" , the cars of the various regiments have arrived."

Lu Hai promised, stood up straight and looked at the recruits, and stood at attention with a snap and gave a military salute, "Goodbye, comrades-in-arms!"

All the recruits saluted and walked out of the barracks one by one. When Xu Tao walked up to Lu Hai, he said, "Squad leader, thank you!"

Lu Hai smiled and pushed Xu Tao. Xu Tao left the barracks with his luggage and backpack without looking back, and followed everyone to the playground. Lu Hai stood in the empty barracks with a smile on his face. In the last year, I have recruited new soldiers. At the end of this year, Lu Hai will be discharged from the army. The five-year military career has left Lu Hai with excellent skills and a strong heart. Soldiers with iron battalions and flowing water are the only troops who are divided and united. The biggest feature.

Standing quietly on the playground, Xu Tao waited, waiting for his name to be called. An hour later, it was finally the turn of Xu Tao and the team they were in. One name after another was called away. When Xu Tao finally heard his name , with a flash of relief in his eyes, he quickly walked out of the crowd with his luggage, and came directly in front of the company commander Zhang Qi.

Zhang Qi looked up at Xu Tao who was standing in front of him, and nodded slightly, "Xu Tao, go to the left, the car of the Ground Artillery Brigade Health Team is waiting there, just follow the car back, work hard, don't give us 5 Battalion 3 Disgraceful."

Xu Tao put down the luggage in his hand and gave a military salute. Xu Tao put down his arms and looked at Zhang Qi seriously, "Commander, I will definitely not embarrass Sanlian. Look at my performance."

For the first time, Zhang Qi showed a smile in front of Xu Tao, and returned a military salute, "Go." Xu Tao saluted another military salute, and then quickly walked to the left with the luggage on the ground. When the army green ambulance was on the side, Xu Tao showed a smile on his face, walked quickly to the ambulance, and knocked on the window.

The driver opened the window, and Xu Tao smiled, "Squad leader, I am Xu Tao, a recruit assigned to the health team."

The driver smiled and gestured to Xu Tao. Xu Tao walked to the door of the ambulance. The driver opened the door from the inside and took the luggage from Xu Tao's hand. "I'm Zhang Xinjun, the driver of the health team. A new soldier was assigned to me to pick it up, so it was you."

Xu Tao put his luggage on the seat and looked up at Zhang Xinjun, "Thank you, squad leader." Zhang Xinjun smiled and waved his hands, "You don't have any comrades to say goodbye to, right? Our health team will assign you one, if you don't have one, we will leave. "

Xu Tao shook his head, "There is no squad leader." Zhang Xinjun nodded, went to the cab to start the car, "Why are you assigned to the health team, but very few people are willing to go to our place."

Xu Tao smiled, "I didn't ask, maybe it's because I'm small." Zhang Xinjun glanced at Xu Tao who was sitting honestly on the seat from the rear mirror and smiled, "Almost, it just so happens that our health team is now There is a huge shortage of people, I am a driver and I have been on the night shift at night, and finally a newcomer is here, I thought I could get more points, but I didn't expect it to be only you."

Xu Tao smiled, and the ambulance drove away from the parking lot of the training camp. Xu Tao looked back at the training camp and said "goodbye" silently in his heart

Xu Tao retracted his gaze and looked at Zhang Xinjun again. A trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes. He was no stranger to Zhang Xinjun and Xu Tao. He was a three-year veteran of the health team and would have been discharged at the end of the year. , but he is not a bad person. Xu Tao’s deepest impression on Zhang Xinjun is that he was assigned to the health team for the first year. Zhang Xinjun likes to let Xu Tao help with washing clothes. In Xu Tao's washbasin, seeing Zhang Xinjun again, Xu Tao no longer had the slightest dislike at the beginning, but a little more kindness.

When the sanitation vehicle drove away from the training area, a heavy jeep drove towards it. In front of the jeep was a group of soldiers wearing helmets and carrying guns and sprinting vigorously. The men with the trumpets had colorful lines painted on their faces, and they couldn't see the facial features clearly. Zhang Xinjun laughed when he saw Xu Tao who was in a daze, "Boy, do you know who is coming from the opposite side?"

Xu Tao shook his head and looked at Zhang Xinjun with a trace of curiosity, "Ace Army, also called Bandit Camp, the one sitting on it is the Bandit King of the Bandit Camp." Zhang Xinjun's explanation with a smile didn't make Xu Tao understand but made him even more confused. Xu Tao never knew that there was such a team in his unit. Xu Tao smiled and didn't continue to ask questions. He just looked at the crowd and jeeps that were getting closer.

When the two cars approached and were about to meet, Xu Tao took a closer look at the man on the roof of the carport. Except for the indifference in his small eyes that did not match his loud voice, his facial features were still vague. Car, Xu Tao looked back at the man sitting on the roof of the carport. Xu Tao showed a little admiration for his steady figure under the bumpy road.

During the two-hour journey, Xu Tao had been listening to Zhang Xinjun talking about the health team, occasionally echoing him, until almost five o'clock when the car drove into the ground artillery brigade health team compound, Xu Tao got out of the car with his luggage, and stood again When he was so familiar with the courtyard that he could never go wrong even if he closed his eyes, Xu Tao felt a little excited. After thinking about it for five years and studying for five years, he could still smell the faint smell of disinfectant in his breath.

"Xu Tao, let's go. The captain is probably waiting. Hurry up and report to the captain, and then arrange the dormitory." Zhang Xinjun got out of the car and saw Xu Tao who was standing beside the car carrying luggage and looked at him with a smile. Xu Tao promised to follow behind Zhang Xinjun. There is a long row of bungalows on the left, and when you enter the gate, a long corridor appears in front of you. Xu Tao follows Zhang Xinjun, meditating in his heart, turn left, turn right, pass a gate, and arrive, standing in the captain's office In front of the yellow wooden door, Xu Tao smiled slightly from the bottom of his heart.

Knock on the door, report, there was a voice coming in, Xu Tao followed Zhang Xinjun into the captain's room, saw the plump captain Jin Shengli sitting behind the desk, Xu Tao's eyes were a little excited, Xu Tao put down his luggage, snapped He gave a military salute, "Report to the captain, the recruit Xu Tao is reporting to you."

Jin Shengli stood up with a smile and walked to Xu Tao's side, "Xiao Xu, how are you doing? We've been okay along the way."

Xu Tao nodded with a smile, "Okay." Jin Shengli could see that Xu Tao was an honest man at a glance, asked a few simple questions, and looked at Zhang Xinjun, "Xiao Zhang, take Xu Tao to your dormitory." Zhang Xinjun agreed with a smile , Xu Tao gave another military salute, put down his arms, carried his luggage and followed Zhang Xinjun out of the captain's office.

Looking at Xu Tao who was leaving, Jin Shengli shook his head and smiled, sat back in his seat, and dialed Zou Xiangqian's phone, while Xu Tao, who was following Zhang Xinjun, walked straight, turn left, turn left, the first dormitory, the volunteer's , the second bedroom, his own, the door was opened, Xu Tao saw two bunk beds, except for one lower bed with luggage, the other three were all empty.

Zhang Xinjun looked back at Xu Tao, pointed to the empty lower berth with a smile, "You sleep in that berth, clean it up yourself, I'll help you get the lunch box, it's almost time for lunch, if you haven't packed it up, then pack it up after eating."

Xu Tao put down his luggage and looked at Zhang Xinjun, "Thank you, squad leader." Zhang Xinjun waved his hand and turned around to leave the dormitory. Standing in the dormitory, Xu Tao took a deep breath and grinned softly. It's great, it's great to be back in the barracks again. , Returned to the health team.

The author has something to say:

August 2012, at 8:5 p.m., S City Railway Station.

Xu Tao, who stood on the platform and waited for nearly half an hour, was a little anxious and kept stretching his neck in the direction of the train. Meng Zhan glanced at Xu Tao who had already passed the yellow line and was about to fall before going forward. He pulled back Xu Tao who was looking ahead, "Don't worry, the time hasn't come yet."

Xu Tao turned around and smiled at Meng Zhan, "I know, I'm just anxious, I haven't seen my sister and the child for more than two years, do you think Xiao Zhuo will forget us?"

Meng Zhan shook his head, "No, Xiao Zhuo is so smart."

Although he knew that what Meng Zhan said was true, Xu Tao was still a little worried. He hadn't seen Xiao Zhuo for more than two years, and he didn't know if the child still remembered him and Meng Zhan. When he thought of Xiao Zhuo, he naturally thought of Xu Yan. Yan, Xu Tao is both sorry and grateful, after all, Xiao Zhuo's surname is Xu.

The train did not enter the station slowly until [-]:[-]. When the train stopped in front of the platform with a bang, Xu Tao stretched his neck and looked at the door of No. [-] carriage. When the big guy jumped out of the car and turned around to pack another seven or eight-year-old boy, Xu Tao shouted in surprise, "Xiao Rui, Xiao Zhuo."

Hearing the shout, Wang Rui hugged his younger brother Xu Zhuo and looked back at the shout, jumped up haha, and ran towards Xu Tao with the child in his arms, "Uncle, little uncle." Wang Rui who ran and shouted didn't care. Xu Yan's shout came from behind, and he collided with Xu Tao who was rushing towards him. Xu Tao hugged the two children, and his smiling eyes disappeared.

Meng Zhan, who protected Xu Tao and walked to Wang Rui, shook his head and took Xu Zhuo from Wang Rui's hand, "Son, do you remember who I am?"

Xu Zhuo nodded shyly, "Dad." Meng Zhan's soft face became more and more gentle, "Good son." After speaking, he looked up at Xu Yan and Wang Guizhu, "Sister, brother-in-law."

Xu Yan smiled and touched Meng Zhan's forehead, "Xiao Zhan, are you feeling better?"

Meng Zhan nodded, "It's okay, I just got tired from training a while ago, don't worry." Xu Yan nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Xu Tao who was smiling happily while hugging her eldest son, "Xiao Tao didn't cause trouble. "

Meng Zhan smiled, "No, Xiao Tao is fine." Xu Yan smiled and shook her head, and walked to Xu Tao's side, "Stop laughing, go home."

Xu Tao hugged Xu Yan with a smile, and looked at Wang Guizhu, "Brother-in-law, are you tired?" Wang Guizhu shook his head with a silly smile, "No, didn't you find someone to buy a sleeper berth? We'll be there soon after sleeping all night."

Meng Zhan hugged Xu Zhuo and walked to Xu Tao, "Xiao Tao, let's go home first." Xu Tao smiled and nodded, looking at Xu Zhuo, "Son?"

"Little dad." Xu Tao laughed silly, Meng Zhan hugged Xu Zhuo and pulled Xu Tao to greet Xu Yan's family and walked to the door.

After returning home, after Meng Zhan arranged the people, he went into the kitchen to fry and cook eight dishes quickly. When Xu Yan saw a table full of delicious dishes, she nodded secretly, took a look and sat down Xu Tao, who was waiting at the table to eat, had a flash of helplessness in his eyes, Xiao Tao was getting lazy, and he was not like a person who was about to forty, but like a teenager.

After Xu Yan brought her family to the army to visit Xu Taomeng after the war, Xu Tao put down all the things in his hands and walked around with the four of them. The ten-day vacation was fleeting. At the city railway station, Xu Tao looked at the little Xu Zhuo, and was filled with gratitude to Xu Yan.

Because of her own choice, Xu Yan opposed and stalemate with each other. When she finally accepted, Xu Yan chose to leave a descendant for herself and Meng Zhan. The seven-year-old Xu Zhuo is Xu Yan in her 30s Xu Zhuo told himself and Meng Zhan that he and Meng Zhan had always been fathers in order to leave the children born to the two of them who could never speak. Although he felt guilty, he had to admit that the traditional thinking in his bones still made Xu Tao She had the cheek to accept Xu Yan's kindness.
