Chapter 287 Is that you? [Please subscribe! Please give me a monthly ticket!] In the regiment headquarters where only two people were present. Zhao Weihong, who had just been awarded the military rank of "two crutches", is experiencing a glorious moment that is no less than the second-class merit award ceremony! The chief engraved the seal and the commander presented the watch! No matter which one it is, it is enough for the person concerned to show off for the rest of his life! What’s even more exaggerated is that there are a bunch of unopened gift boxes at the door of the regiment headquarters! Since Zhou Kehu could bring the gifts personally, one can imagine the identities of these “gift givers”! Zhou Kehu just gave Zhao Weihong his expectations and words of advice. Then he called Zhao Weihong and opened the remaining gift boxes one by one, which made Zhao Weihong "dazzled and overwhelmed!" Leather shoes, belts, various military theory books When the demolition was finally completed, Zhao Weihong, the person involved, was stunned where he was. His mood was like a spice jar had been overturned, with mixed feelings. No matter it is the past life that is too painful to look back on, or the present life that Zhao Weihong cherishes even more.
Zhao Weihong, who was born in poverty and carried a heavy burden on her shoulders, had never experienced what it felt like to receive a gift carefully prepared by others, let alone celebrate her birthday! For Zhao Weihong, the only meaning of her birthday is to quickly eat a bowl of noodles as her mother instructed, and then go back to work on the sewing machine as usual. Therefore, although the sudden visit of the group of female soldiers did cause some trouble to Zhao Weihong. But in her heart, Zhao Weihong was still very happy. He is not happy because of the pursuit of the opposite sex. This is not worth mentioning for Zhao Weihong who is "devoted to his career". Rather, I am happy because I feel valued and recognized by others! And at this moment, Zhao Weihong's feeling reached its peak! In Zhao Weihong's eyes. These gifts, of varying values but all filled with love, have become shining “medals”! A medal of recognition and praise for all the work he has done since he joined the army! However, Zhao Weihong was particularly unfamiliar with the names of some of the gift givers. "Uncle, this signature is a gift from Uncle Qin. Who gave it to him?" "Uncle Qin, I don't have any impression of him at all." "And this one. This one too." "You asked me to accept all these gifts, but I can't even remember the identities of these elders, how can I accept them!" At this point, Zhao Weihong suddenly showed a somewhat suspicious look, and asked Zhou Kehu vigilantly. "Are these gifts all given to me by you?" “It’s just a change of signature.” "What are you thinking about, kid?" "I want to give you a gift. Do I need to borrow someone else's name?" "If you don't accept it, I will kill you!"
Don't say that. It seems to be true! Thinking of this, Zhao Weihong touched his head awkwardly and asked with a silly smile. "Who are these?" "You don't think that your second uncle's comrades-in-arms are only the few you have seen, do you?" Zhou Kehu pointed at the gift box on the ground and introduced it to Zhao Weihong as if she knew all about it in detail in a tone filled with deep nostalgia. "This person was your second uncle's former political commissar, and also my partner." "This is the battalion commander when your second uncle was the deputy battalion commander. He had to compete with your second uncle for the position in the front line." "If your second uncle hadn't gone, he would have been the one to go to the southwest." "." From Zhou Kehu's perspective, the veterans who are still active in the military of Yan State, or like Zhao Yuejin, have taken off their military uniforms and are living an ordinary life, gradually formed a substantial impression in Zhao Weihong's mind. They back then were just like Zhao Weihong now. He is full of vigor and determination to serve his country, and his story is no less wonderful than that of Zhao Weihong! And this passion and faith are still stirring in their hearts at this moment and have never faded! Even Zhao Yuejin, who had already retired from the army and returned home with a disability. If the motherland needs him, he will not hesitate to walk onto the familiar yet unfamiliar battlefield, leaning on a crutch in one hand and holding a rifle in the other! Of course, what they hope more is that the new generation of soldiers of Yan Country can surpass their predecessors and accomplish the lofty mission of defending the country better than them! When the news of Zhao Weihong's repeated achievements gradually spread among their generation of soldiers. Although many of them have never met Zhao Weihong, or even had the opportunity to meet Zhao Weihong. But they still felt sincerely relieved and happy for Zhao Weihong, and were proud of her! Because Zhao Weihong not only proved that the new generation of soldiers of Yan State can also shoulder the burden that their generation once borne. More importantly, such an outstanding and promising soldier is the nephew of their old comrade! When Zhao Weihong didn't know yet. He already had a large group of "dear uncles, dear uncles!" whom he had never met before. After learning about the hard life Zhao Weihong had lived over the years and that he was about to become a cadre. These elders, whom Zhao Weihong had never met before, chose this special day to send Zhao Weihong gifts, as well as their expectations and blessings for her! They hope that Zhao Weihong can take over their burden and continue on this road that never ends, along with their share! All of a sudden. Zhao Weihong suddenly thought of Shi Jidong and others who had already left. This scene was very similar to the retirement ceremony that Zhao Weihong would never forget. At this moment of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, Zhao Weihong felt it so intuitively for the first time. He has already carried the expectations of too many people! "Wei Hong." Looking at Zhao Weihong's constantly changing eyes, Zhou Kehu seemed to guess what he was thinking. With a kind attitude that he rarely showed himself, he gently adjusted Zhao Weihong's military uniform. Zhou Kehu looked at Zhao Weihong, who made him feel surprised and proud, and spoke in a calm tone, but every word was weighty.
"The reason why I came here in casual clothes today is that I want to say something to you on behalf of those who were unable to come here." “Do it with confidence, do it boldly, and do it seriously!” "The army is actually a pretty boring place, and it's also pretty lonely." "Not only is it difficult to see my relatives, but it's also easy to be alone while walking." "But don't be afraid!" “No matter what time it is, don’t forget that we, the uncles and aunts, are standing behind you!” "It doesn't matter if you can't see your relatives, we are your relatives!" "As long as you can make a name for yourself, all the efforts we've made today won't be in vain!" At this point, Zhou Kehu suddenly changed the subject and his expression became extremely serious! "But if you dare to relax and waste your talent, I will be the first to kick your ass!" "Did you hear that clearly?" Hearing this, Zhao Weihong, whose eyes had already turned red, blinked hard, took a deep breath, and roared at the top of his lungs like a wild beast. "Yes!" "Captain, don't run away." "It's time to go back and eat." After saying that, Zhao Weihong hurried forward, pretending to help Chang Dingfang get rid of the "blame" on his back. However, Zhou Kehu, who was standing alone in the distance, suddenly shouted at this time. "Wei Hong! Don't help him!" "Let him take the pot to the kitchen himself!" After hearing this, Zhao Weihong had no choice but to give up. She could only watch Chang Dingfang's particularly desolate back with sympathetic eyes and trot to the kitchen. Zhao Weihong still wears the watch Zhou Kehu gave him on his hand. When he walks, the watch often sparkles under the sunlight, making it particularly eye-catching. In fact, Zhao Weihong herself doesn't really want to take this watch out. On the one hand, this watch is extremely valuable, as well as the sentiments it carries, and Zhao Weihong wants to keep it well. On the other hand, watches are a rare item in the army. It can even be said that being able to wear a watch is a symbol of status in itself! Because during training, bumps and bruises are common. If you wear a delicate item like a watch, you never know when it will get scratches or even break on the spot! Therefore, being able to wear a watch and walk around the camp in a swagger usually means that this person does not need much training and does not need to worry about damaging the watch. His identity and status are immediately revealed! No matter what level Zhao Weihong reaches, it is obvious that he will not give up training, not even for a minute! If this watch was accidentally broken, Zhao Weihong would be heartbroken! Not to mention that this watch looks very high-profile and does not quite fit Zhao Weihong's personality. But there was no way, because Zhou Kehu insisted that Zhao Weihong wear it. And he also said, "The things I give you are for you to use, not for display!"
"If you don't wear it, then I'll give it away for nothing, right?" As for the problem of watches being easily damaged during training, in Zhou Kehu's eyes, the solution is very simple! Why not just not wear it during training? With no other options, Zhao Weihong had to wear the watch. It’s true, a watch can add a lot to a person’s temperament, especially to a man’s! As soon as she put the watch on her hand, the last bit of youthfulness in Zhao Weihong's body disappeared completely! If the military rank on Zhao Weihong's shoulders was changed, people would believe he was a battalion commander! After Chang Dingfang returned the black pot to the kitchen, he ran out happily and earnestly invited Zhou Kehu to the cafeteria for New Year's Eve dinner. Zhao Weihong naturally went with them. During the dinner, many people noticed the "little decoration" on Zhao Weihong's hand. Looking at Zhou Kehu who was sitting next to Zhao Weihong, everyone present immediately knew the origin of the watch, but no one asked Zhao Weihong about it. However, after the New Year's Eve dinner, many cadres looked at Zhao Weihong with an indescribable look in their eyes. But Zhao Weihong didn't have time to feel the change in their attitude. Because all Zhao Weihong's thoughts are now on her relatives who are thousands of miles away! Just finished the New Year's Eve dinner. Zhao Weihong immediately rushed to the regiment headquarters and, under the watchful eyes of Zhou Kehu and Chang Dingfang, dialed a number to the village store! Just when Zhao Weihong wanted to trouble the boss and call his relatives over. The voice of mother Li Ping suddenly reached Zhao Weihong's ears! Obviously, this ordinary mother has been squatting by the phone since she knows when, just to be able to answer the call from her son as soon as possible! "Son, is that you?" (End of this chapter)
