Chapter 289 Do you think your father is the commander?
Zhou Zhongyi's heart trembled when he heard the word deserter.
He gritted his teeth and said, "No."
"What's not?"
Lin Hui stared at him closely: "You are the leader and our backbone. The whole group is following you! Now you are going to fucking leave and leave us all here?"
"The competition is about to begin, and the whole regiment is counting on you to lead it. If you give up your choice at this time, what are you other than a deserter?"
Zhou Zhongyi's face was full of bitterness: "I really can't help it..."
Lin Hui pointed at him and yelled: "Stop talking to me about useless things. If you have any difficulties, let's help you together!"
"Stop talking about leaving, we can't leave without anyone in our group!"
"Have you forgotten the promise we made back then to strive for first place together and work together to make our team develop better and become bigger and stronger?"
Zhou Zhongyi lowered his head and looked embarrassed.
Lin Hui gasped and sat across from him: "Can you say something?"
After a long time, Zhou Zhongyi raised his head and looked at him: "Lin Hui, I know what you are thinking, and what I said was indeed what I said. I also want to participate in the competition with everyone, get the ranking, and watch the Tigers getting better and better.
The better..."
Lin Hui's mood at this moment seemed to be on fire.
He knew that what he just said was nonsense, and even if his words were worn out, he would not be able to change the leader's decision.
Such a big thing happened at home. Think about it for a moment. Is it okay not to go back?
But rationality is rationality, and sensibility is sensibility.
No matter how much I understand, at this point, I just can't let go.
Those words were just to make each other feel better, at least not to leave any words stuck in the throat before leaving.
What is supposed to come will eventually come, and it cannot be stopped by a few words.
Zhou Zhongyi held his hand and said: "This time when I went back, I saw my lover lying on the hospital bed through the glass outside the ward, with tubes inserted all over his body. My heart... hurts indescribably."
He smiled bitterly: "I have been a soldier for so many years, and if I can go home once a year, it is considered a blessing from the Bodhisattva."
"She has been running the house for so many years. Although she has no education or much education, she has managed the house in an orderly manner."
Speaking of this, Zhou Zhongyi's body couldn't stop trembling: "If, if it weren't for the fact that I'm not at home all year round and can't help the family, she wouldn't go behind my back and quietly go to the restaurant at night to serve dishes and work a second job.
.”
"If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have been hit by a car."
His eyes were full of remorse: "In the hospital, my son was standing across from me, and I didn't know how to face him. After so many years, we have been together less and apart more often. I don't even know what grade my child is in now and whether his grades are good or not.
good?"
"I'm not a good husband, nor a good father. I'm sorry for them!"
Lin Hui shook his head: "But you are a good soldier and a good regiment leader!"
Zhou Zhongyi sighed deeply: "I have dedicated all my youth to the army. I have fulfilled my duties for so many years. Now, it is time to take off these clothes and return to my family."
"Although my wife is awake, her legs are gone and she will have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. My son is still young, and my daughter is even younger and has just started kindergarten."
"I can't let her be like this anymore and continue to take care of them alone."
He looked at Lin Hui and smiled, "Actually, if it had been before, I probably wouldn't have been able to make up my mind and leave the troops behind."
"Maybe I have to be a bad husband and a bad father."
"But since I saw you, I can finally make up my mind."
Lin Hui pointed at himself in surprise: "Me?"
Zhou Zhongyi nodded vigorously: "That's right! When you were transferred from the border defense to ours, you first drove the progress of the Sixth Company, and then the entire regiment!"
"I haven't seen everyone so motivated and energetic for a long time."
He continued: "In the subsequent exercise, it was you who took down the Blue Army headquarters and turned the tide of the war after our entire regiment was destroyed!"
"The Tiger Regiment was about to be disbanded. You were the first to stand up and take the lead in going to the division headquarters to ask for orders. It was you who saved our regiment in the end!"
"In the border dispute, you led everyone to drive away the enemy and protect the land of the motherland!"
"..."
Listen to the leader tell you everything from the past to the present one by one.
Tears kept rolling in Lin Hui's eyes.
I can't help but recall every moment of our struggle together.
How come time flies by so fast?
Zhou Zhongyi slapped Lin Hui on the shoulder, pulling him back from his thoughts: "Especially during the forest fire not long ago, I saw in you the spirit of your predecessors and the tenacity to never admit defeat!"
"At that time, you were like a big tree made of steel, standing in front of everyone, preventing the flames from engulfing them and the thick smoke from drowning them."
"You are a good and competent big brother and a good commander."
"With you here, I can leave with peace of mind."
Lin Hui's tears couldn't stop flowing.
At this moment, he felt no joy at being praised, only indescribable discomfort and reluctance.
Because he knew that the group leader said goodbye to him at the end.
He is entrusting the future of the Tigers to himself.
But without the leader, is the group still complete?
Lin Hui looked at him with tears in his eyes: "Captain, can you not leave? I have already sent away the old squad leader. I, I really don't want to see the second familiar person leave."
"It's so uncomfortable. That feeling is really uncomfortable."
Zhou Zhongyi's eyes were also full of tears, and he choked up and said: "Lin Hui, you are good at everything. Your only flaw is that you are too emotional."
"In the army, people will come and go after all, and there is no banquet that never ends."
"It's fate that we can be together, and it's God's will that we can't be together. Let's work hard and try to bring our group forward!"
He took a deep breath and forced out a smile: "I hope that after I go back, I can hear good news about our group someday. Then I will give a thumbs up and say: Brat, you really did not disappoint me!"
"When the time comes, I can also show off to others, saying that I was the commander of this regiment back then. In that regiment, there was one of the best soldiers named Lin Hui, who was the soldier I led!"
Lin Hui leaned on the chair, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.
My heart was torn open time and time again, and the pain was so painful that I couldn't breathe.
Zhou Zhongyi said nothing more, just patted his shoulder gently and stayed with him silently.
…
Early the next morning, a car rushed out of the regiment headquarters.
Everyone was full of curiosity, and Wang Yong asked: "Where can Brother Hui drive alone so early in the morning?"
Everyone shook their heads: "I don't know?"
A few hours later, Lin Hui arrived at the division headquarters.
After getting out of the car, he rushed directly into the building.
As soon as he got close, he was stopped by two guards downstairs: "What are you doing?"
Lin Hui said anxiously: "I have something urgent to call the teacher!"
The two guards frowned, and he quickly added: "My name is Lin Hui, and I am the battalion commander of the Tiger Regiment. The division commander said that if you encounter difficulties, you can come to him at any time!"
The guards looked at each other, and one of them immediately called for instructions.
He ran back after a while: "The teacher said that he was in a meeting and didn't have time to see you, so he asked you to go back and continue training."
Lin Hui was anxious. He was holding a meeting so early in the morning. He was clearly avoiding me on purpose.
He could only shout upstairs: "Teacher, I am Lin Hui! You said that I came to you when I encountered difficulties. How can you not keep your word?"
"Our team leader is changing jobs and will be leaving soon. Come out!"
Several guards were stunned. They had never seen such a bold person.
How dare you yell at the division headquarters and ask the division commander to come out to see him by name!
An officer rushed out quickly and pointed at him angrily: "What are you doing? This is the division headquarters. Who asked you to cause trouble here? Arrest him!"
Several guards rushed forward immediately, trying to subdue him by holding his hands behind his back.
Lin Hui struggled forward desperately, but four or five people couldn't hold him down even with the combined efforts of them.
He shouted at the top with his voice red and his eyes red: "Commander, come out! Are you still a soldier? Your soldiers are leaving. Why don't you even stop them, Commander?"
At the same time, Lu Qingsong was standing behind a window on the third floor.
I still don't have the courage to take another step forward.
He was afraid that Lin Hui would see him.
The deputy commander behind him sighed: "Lao Lu, just let him come up. What's it like making noisy things down there? I know you are sad, but he is sad too when his commander is gone. Can't you please speak clearly?"
Is it done?"
Lu Qingsong shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, I know what kind of character this guy is. I can't help him. This is Zhou Zhongyi's own decision."
"Let him shout. If he shouts, he will feel happy and I will feel happy too."
His eyes were red, and the sadness and loss on his face could not be concealed.
Zhou Zhongyi is his soldier and the best leader of 602.
After knowing each other for so many years, the relationship has long been no longer a simple superior-subordinate relationship.
Now that Zhou Zhongyi is about to change his career and leave, he is no less sad than Lin Hui, only more.
But as a division commander, he could only bear all this silently, even if he was misunderstood and treated as a coward.
The deputy division commander sighed, turned and left.
After a while, Lin Hui's throat almost became hoarse and he couldn't even shout out to Lu Qingsong.
He shook off the guard and walked to his car in despair.
After getting into the car and waiting for a while, he was about to start the car when someone suddenly stopped him: "Wait a minute!"
Lin Hui turned around and saw the deputy division commander running towards this direction quickly.
He got out of the car and saluted: "Hello, deputy division commander."
The deputy division commander looked at him and said seriously: "Don't blame the division commander, and don't blame him. Zhou Zhongyi, your regiment commander is good, and he was also a soldier led by Lao Lu. Now that he has to leave, the division commander is also very sad."
Lin Hui didn't understand: "Then why doesn't he want to see me? Maybe we can keep him, or at least do something to help him?"
"it's useless."
The deputy division commander shook his head helplessly: "He insisted on leaving this time, and the report has already been typed."
"He has difficulties at home, and his wife is still lying in a hospital bed. Even if she is cured, she will only be able to use a wheelchair in the future. How can we help?"
Lin Hui said anxiously: "Then we can't let him retire. The regiment leader likes the army. For him, the army is his life."
"Why can't he be transferred to their local area so that he can stay in the army and take care of his family?"
The deputy division commander shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Lin Hui, do you think your father is the commander, and you still want to be transferred at any time?"
