The news of the eighth squad leader's return has already reached the outpost. Today, before the supply truck arrived, a group of people ran to the road to wait.
Lin Yi still asked Xue Peng to serve as the guard this time. Although after more than a month of training, Xue Peng's patience had been greatly tempered, but when he saw that everyone had gone out, he could not go out. This kind of psychological gap,
This is the biggest test for him.
If Xue Peng can persevere, then more than a month will not be wasted.
When Xue Peng saw everyone running out, he felt itchy and couldn't bear it. Especially in the past month or so, during his interactions with everyone, he had long been curious about the eighth squad leader that everyone often mentioned.
Being able to serve as a squad leader in a post, especially in Class 8, the most difficult post, and for someone who has been a squad leader for several years, it doesn't take much to think about how extraordinary he is, so Xue Peng couldn't sit still.
But as soon as he stood up, Xue Peng seemed to feel Lin Yi staring at him, and immediately sat back down.
Then I considered that I had been on duty for a month, and if I couldn't hold on at the last moment, I couldn't bear the feeling of wasting all my efforts, so I just waited for the eighth squad leader to come in, and it wouldn't be long before he came in.
The eighth squad leader came back with a lot of things this time, including a lot of local specialties in large and small bags. When he got off the car, he saw Lin Yi waiting for him, immediately dropped everything, walked towards Lin Yi, and then quickly
She held his hand tightly and said, "Platoon Commander Lin, thank you so much. In such a short period of a few months, you have won so many honors for Class 8. I am really grateful."
Lin Yi waved his hand, "The collective credit cannot be achieved by one person, and it cannot be achieved without everyone's cooperation. You are tired from the long journey, go back to the post first, Lao Wu has started to go down now, and I am waiting for you to come back.
have eaten."
When the Eighth Squad Leader heard that Master Wu was cooking, he was also very greedy. He said with a smile: "Not to mention, when I came home, what I thought about most was the food cooked by Old Wu. I am used to eating his food.
, when I eat other meals, I always feel they don’t taste good.”
Lin Yi also laughed, "Then eat more until you are full."
Entering the post, the eighth squad leader saw an officer sitting at the gate and quickly saluted: "Hello, platoon leader."
Xue Peng immediately returned the greeting: "Hello, squad leader eight."
In fact, under normal circumstances, with the seniority of the eighth squad leader as a sergeant, it is not necessary to salute Xue Peng. Although it is a regulation for subordinates to salute their superiors, the eighth squad leader has ten years of military service. In terms of military age,
The eighth squad leader has an overwhelming advantage.
Unless you meet a captain, a sergeant will take the initiative to salute. After all, a captain's military service is generally more than eight years, which is not much lower than yours.
Therefore, Xue Peng was a little surprised when he saw the Eighth Squad Leader taking the initiative to salute, "You must be the Eighth Squad Leader. During the time I was at the outpost, I heard a lot about your deeds."
The eighth squad leader grinned and said, "Don't listen to their bragging. I'm just a little older and have no other special skills. Don't listen to their nonsense."
Lin Yi waved his hand, "Okay, what are you being polite about? Are you, Xue Peng, a person who knows how to be polite? Just sit on your post and let the eighth squad leader finish his meal first."
With that said, he took the eighth squad leader into the kitchen.
When the eighth squad leader saw that the meal was not ready yet, he looked at Lin Yi and said, "Platoon leader, your study deadline is coming soon. I heard a lot of gossip in the regiment. The regiment has already started to report the situation to your brigade. Just
With these four achievements you have made, I am afraid you will be promoted after returning to Brigade A this time."
Lin Yi looked at the serious eyes of the eighth squad leader and laughed out loud, "I didn't expect that our eighth squad leader is still a fan of officials. I was promoted to lieutenant last year and became an assistant. Where can I be promoted this year? Is it possible?
Can I still work for a deputy chief? This is obviously impossible."
Generally speaking, deputy chiefs have the rank of captain. Lin Yi was promoted to lieutenant last year. Even if he is given full credit, he must serve at the rank of lieutenant for two years. This is a rigid rule that no one can break.
.
The Eighth Squad Leader heard Lin Yi's joke and smiled awkwardly, "I really want to be an official fan, but I will be in the eleventh year of the army this year. I will be demobilized and go home at the end of next year. I still have two years left.
.I am not like you. With your ability, it is feasible to work in the army for the rest of your life.
You have to think about returning to the original unit. After all, you have four merits on your shoulders. If you are still reinstated, then your brigade leaders are too ignorant of people. If this spreads out, will it be possible?
Aren’t you going to cause criticism?”
Lin Yi has not considered this aspect. Besides, how to arrange his position is a matter for the leader and has nothing to do with him. Why should he worry so much about it?
At this time, Master Wu also brought the noodles. Lin Yi took them and placed them in front of the Eighth Squad Leader, "Come and eat quickly. The authentic Eighth Squadron Brand Beef Noodles are covered with beef."
This was the first time for the eighth squad leader to eat such luxurious beef noodles. He looked at Master Wu and said in a serious tone, "Old Wu, where has your virtue of diligence and thrift gone? It's too wasteful to give so much meat at one time."
Lin Yi smiled and said: "These are just a few slices of beef. Last time when Deputy Commander Chen came to see us, he brought a whole cow up at once, a total of four hundred kilograms of meat, plus the meat sent during the New Year. Look at our refrigerator
There is still quite a lot of meat in it, and I can’t finish it. You must have done it right.”
The Eighth Squad Leader thought the same thing. Now that the Eighth Squadron has taken so much credit, there is no way that the division leaders and regimental leaders would not come to express their condolences.
It is impossible not to bring something with you when you come to the outpost to offer condolences. Fruits and vegetables cannot withstand freezing, and they are too cheap. There is no dignity in bringing them. Only meat is the most suitable. It seems that Class 8 has had a good year this winter.
At this time, a corporal also ran in carrying a large bag of sausages, "Master Wu, where should we hang the sausages brought by the eighth squad leader?"
When Master Wu saw such a big package, he must have spent more than a thousand yuan on it, "Squad leader, you are spending too much money. Isn't returning to the outpost just like going home? You still bought so many things."
The eighth squad leader smiled and said: "You said you are going home, so you are not allowed to bring back some meat. This bag is meat, and that bag is snacks. Lao Wu, please give it to everyone. Don't think it is less. I only have
Even with two hands, I can’t carry more than that, so let’s just make do with it.”
Then the Eighth Squad Leader looked at Lin Yi and said, "Platoon Leader Lin, the gossip I got from the regimental clerk is that the next time the supply truck comes to deliver supplies, you will be picked up. When you return to the original unit, you will be picked up."
You have to walk up and down, and go to the leader's house if you have nothing to do. You have a lot of credit now. If the leader can let you stay in the brigade and serve, you must not go back to the camp. After you get to the brigade, you go to the camp, then
It’s just an inspection by the leader, but the style is different, do you understand?”
