Ye Tianming put away his smile and became serious for the first time: "Have you two thought about the future? Should you wait until three years later to recover and go home and wait to die by living at home, or do you want to make a career in the army?
A career that makes everyone look at you with admiration?"
Chen Yang and Long Ye were very uncomfortable seeing Ye Tianming's serious expression. However, they fell into deep thought after hearing Ye Tianming's words.
After a while, Chen Yang said: "Boss, let me tell you something from my heart. We were forced to join the army by our families. We all come from a military family. My grandfather joined the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese when he was 16 years old. My grandfather, my father,
My mother was also a soldier. I grew up in a military compound. As far back as I can remember, I was given military training by dedicated personnel. My childhood fun and dreams were restricted here. I hated being a soldier.
, I hate the military camp. But there is no way, my destiny is not within my control.
After I graduated and came here, I met Tatsuno. We both had the same fate, so we became the best of brothers. We made trouble all day long, and we never gave in no matter how much the family tried to coerce or induce us.
I thought that if we continue to live like this, our family will be disappointed in us and lose confidence in us. In the end, they will let us leave this damn place.
A year later, the family indeed lost confidence in us, gave up on us, and turned to nurturing our cousins. However, they did not let us go. Instead, they allowed us to stay here and do whatever we wanted, without caring about us."
Chen Yang said and smiled bitterly.
Long Ye also had a bitter look on his face and took over Chen Yang's words: "Until last year, there was flooding in the south. Our military region received a mission to provide disaster relief, and the two of us went there. When I saw the raging floods and the despair of the people in the disaster area,
The look in my eyes made my heart hurt. When I saved the first person in the flood, it was a little girl. She put her arms around my neck and kissed me. She said to me, Uncle PLA, thank you for saving me.
, you are my hero. When I grow up, I will also be a soldier, and when the time comes, I will also become a hero for others." Tatsuno said this and did not go on.
The three people walked in silence, and the atmosphere became dull. Ye Tianming said, "Why don't you say anything?"
Long Ye calmed down and looked at the neat barracks and his comrades who were training hard on the playground, with a glint in his eyes: "When I see the comrades around me jumping into the flood risklessly, when I see them fighting for their lives,
I tried my best to drag every life ashore, but when they were mercilessly swept away by the flood, I finally understood why soldiers exist.
When the seventy or eighty-year-old woman came to the dam in the rain, covered in mud, carrying a water bottle, with trembling hands, she handed the water bowl to me and said, "Good boy, drink a bowl of water to warm yourself." When evening came
, when those children sang and danced around us, I realized what the glory of the military was. It was at that time that I felt proud to be able to wear this military uniform."
Ye Tianming stopped and said, "What are your plans now? Tell me."
Chen Yang and Long Ye looked at him blankly, and Chen Yang said: "The disaster relief operation can be said to have purified our hearts. After we came back, the two of us swore that since we put on these clothes, we must be worthy of them.
