Chapter 74 Fade Chen Helps and Convinces the Veteran
74 Chen Fei helps and convinces the veterans
After returning to the army that day, Chen Fei lost his usual playful smile and became much silent.
"What's wrong, brother, have you been cooked?" Bai Tiejun saw him, was very surprised, hugged him and asked.
But Chen Fei just smiled and said nothing.
The veteran's experience was still very shocking to him. From that veteran, he realized what is the spirit of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the People's Liberation Army.
So after he came back from there, he became more serious and attentive when training for the five-kilometer armed cross-country.
"Hey, why does Chen Fei seem different from before?" Wu Liuyi touched his chin, surprised and puzzled.
[Ding - you have personally felt the spirit of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the People's Liberation Army from the veteran soldiers. You are deeply moved. Unknowingly, that spirit has a subtle influence on you.
, so you train harder, your physical fitness +2, five kilometers of armed cross-country +3]
Chen Fei trained harder and harder.
As for the veteran...
I heard that the relevant superior departments quickly went to his home, and the news media also went there, and the old man's story became a good story.
Chen Fei would occasionally visit the old man's home.
Sometimes, when they were running five kilometers, they would stop in for a look and chat.
On several occasions, the company asked him and Bai Tiejun to go to the elderly's home to see if there was anything they needed help with.
The old man's family conditions are actually quite good and he doesn't need help, but he is still a little lonely, so every time Chen Fei and the others go over, he is very happy, warmly entertains them, and even buys a lot of snacks to prepare at home.
However, there are not many opportunities for Chen Fei to go to the old man's place. After all, their training tasks are very heavy.
Time flies by like water, and before you know it, a week has passed.
On this day, Chen Fei was running five kilometers on the training ground.
At this time, he had changed from lightly equipped to fully armed. All kinds of equipment were tied up and carried on his back, and he ran around the training ground. As soon as he started running, there was a clanking sound.
Just like a performer, Wu Liuyi is only letting him train on the training ground and hasn't let him start running real cross-country yet.
On this day, when he was running out of breath, the company secretary suddenly came in a hurry: "Chen Fei, stop running and go to the instructor's office quickly."
"What's the matter?" Chen Fei stopped, bent his waist, put his hands on his knees, took a few deep breaths, and then asked.
"I don't know either. Anyway, the instructor asked you to go quickly."
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Chen Fei replied.
The clerk conveyed the relevant instructions and left.
Chen Fei did not rush back, but stood and rested for a while. He was really too tired.
He leaned on the horizontal bar and watched the paperwork go away.
"How about I also become a clerk?" He murmured to himself.
Clerkship is a very important position in the army.
Clerks, as the name suggests, are those who write articles and rely on pens to make a living. Their usual job is to write material reports.
Generally speaking, the large documents and materials in the army are written by the instructor, but if the instructor wants to be lazy, he can leave these tasks to the clerk.
There is a saying in the army: a good clerk is half an instructor.
However, if you want to be a clerk, it is not enough to be good at writing. Having good writing skills is not enough, you also need opportunities.
For example, your writing skills are pretty good and you are interested in pursuing a career as a clerk. But what if there are still old clerks in the clerkship?
It depends on the situation. If the old clerk has one or two years left before he retires, your boss may assign you to a clerk's position and study with the old clerk for one or two years. After the old clerk retires, you can take over directly.
But what should we do if the veteran has just joined the team and will be discharged in three or four years?
The best way is to secondment.
If the army does not lack documents, but your writing skills are really good and you are qualified for a big job, in this case, if the leader recommends you, then you may be seconded to another unit.
Chen Fei watched the clerk from the Seventh Steel Company walk away, then he straightened up, carried his backpack, and trotted back to the dormitory. He put away his things, washed his face, tidied up his clothes, and then walked towards the instructor's office.
Before reaching the office, still four or five meters away from the door, I heard noisy voices coming from inside. The instructor, the company commander, and others seemed to be talking happily.
"Report——" Chen Fei walked to the door, stood at attention with a snap, and shouted loudly.
"Chen Fei, come in quickly!" the instructor greeted enthusiastically.
"Company commander, instructor!" Chen Fei entered and greeted Gao Cheng and Hong Xingguo first.
"Chen Fei——"
"Teacher Li!" When Chen Fei saw the person calling him, his eyes lit up, and he was surprised and happy.
Standing in the instructor's office, in addition to Gao Cheng and Hong Xingguo, there was also Li Li.
Of course, besides these few, there were two others, but those two seemed to have followed Li Li.
"Teacher Li, why are you here?" Chen Fei was very surprised.
He and Li Li had met before, and the two of them had a chat. Since Chen Fei was not restrained and was good at chatting, he could talk about things in the east, west, and west, so the two of them had a good impression of each other.
"Chen Fei, I need your help!" After Li Li briefly chatted with Chen Fei for a few words, she immediately said straight to the point.
"Ah?" Chen Fei was startled.
"That's it." The instructor stepped forward and spoke in detail.
After Chen Fei met the old man when he went out for a five-kilometer run, and was discovered by the superior department, a reporter came to conduct an interview and report. Once those reports were published, they immediately caused a sensation.
These reports were inadvertently seen by Li Li's grandfather. No one would have thought that Li Li's grandfather and the old man used to be in the same army and were good brothers. However, one retired and the other continued to serve in the army, and they have been separated by worlds ever since.
.
Now, Li Li's grandfather really wanted to meet the old man, but Li Li's grandfather was in poor health and was bedridden all year round, so Li Li came here in person to talk to the old man.
Because Chen Fei got to know the old man first, and went there several times later to chat with the old man, so he was relatively familiar with her, so Li Li wanted Chen Fei to be his companion, connect him, and build a bridge.
.
Chen Fei was naturally willing to do such a thing, so he agreed without thinking.
The group of people quickly got into the car and drove to the old man's home.
"Old man -" Chen Fei banged the door, then opened the door and went in.
"Why are you here again? Are you lazy and haven't trained well?" The old man was very happy when he saw Chen Fei and started joking with him.
"Old man, do you think I'm the kind of lazy person? I'm looking for you today because of something big!"
"What big thing could happen to you? Did Lao Mei call me?" The old man sneered.
Chen Fei quickly opened the door and welcomed Li Li and others in.
Seeing Li Li, the old man was stunned, and Chen Fei quickly stepped forward and introduced them one by one.
"Mr. Huang, I am the granddaughter of Li Yuanqi, Li Yuanqi from the 1st Class, 2nd Company, 3rd Battalion, 103rd Regiment, 155th Division. Do you remember? I am his granddaughter. My grandfather read about you in the newspaper and he wants to see you very much.
, so I made a special trip to find you..."
"Li Yuanqi?" The old man was stunned at first, then narrowed his eyes. After being silent for a while, something no one expected happened. The old man's face changed, his expression became cold, and he said directly: "Sorry, I
I don’t know Li Yuanqi, and I’m not the person you said, so why don’t you leave? I’ll be leaving soon and won’t leave you alone..."
The group of people was kicked out directly by the old man.
Everyone was a little dumbfounded. What happened? Why did you suddenly change your face?
"Teacher Li?" Chen Fei looked at Li Li.
Li Li smiled bitterly and shook her head, feeling helpless, but she still came to the door and continued to say sincerely: "Mr. Huang..."
Bang!
The door was slammed shut, and Li Li was startled.
"Teacher Li, is there any misunderstanding here?" Chen Fei asked tentatively.
Li Li was hesitant to speak, so Chen Fei didn't ask any more questions. It was better not to know about some old things.
"Chen Fei, you have the best relationship with Mr. Huang and are the most familiar with him. Can you help me persuade him?" Li Li begged.
Sighing, she lowered her head and said quietly: "My grandfather and Mr. Huang may have had some misunderstandings before. Mr. Huang always hated my grandfather, but my grandfather has been blaming himself for so many years. He always said that if he couldn't see Huang
On the older side, he would die with a grievance. Now, my grandfather’s time is running out. His only wish is to say sorry to Mr. Huang in person, so..."
"Let me try." Chen Fei said.
"Thank you Xiao Chen!"
Chen Fei thought for a while, took out a bottle of wine from the car, the cheapest kind, and tore off the label. After taking a deep breath, he came to the door and patted it: "Old man, yes
I, Chen Fei, please open the door——"
"You all go, don't stay here anymore, I don't want to see you! Chen Fei, you go too, I'm in a bad mood today and don't want to see anyone." An annoyed voice came from inside.
Chen Fei patted a few more times, but there was no response. He took a few steps back. He looked around, then simply took off, grabbed something on the wall, and rolled directly into the yard.
"Chen Fei, you?" Mr. Huang was shocked and helpless when he saw Chen Fei falling from the sky.
"Old man, how do my skills compare with yours back then?" Chen Fei sat down next to Mr. Huang and asked shamelessly.
"You want to compete with me even with your skills?" Mr. Huang sneered.
Chen Fei chuckled, picked up two glasses from the table, poured two glasses of white wine respectively, handed one to Mr. Huang, and picked up the other himself.
But Mr. Huang didn't answer, he turned his head to the side: "Chen Fei, don't waste your efforts, I will not agree to meet with them!"
"Who said I was going to persuade you to meet them?" Chen Fei continued to hand the wine to Mr. Huang.
Mr. Huang likes to drink, and he drinks about three taels every day. He has a pretty good capacity for drinking. Chen Fei has long understood this, so he dares to do so now.
After hearing Chen Fei's words, Mr. Huang sneered and mocked him endlessly.
"You don't drink the wine I bought for you? What? Do you think the wine is cheap?" Chen Fei deliberately provoked him.
"How could I dislike you? I don't want to drink their wine!"
"I bought this for you, not theirs. It also cost me a month's compulsory military allowance. Don't waste my kindness!"
"Did you really buy it?" Mr. Huang was a little suspicious and didn't quite believe it, but he still turned his head.
"Look, there isn't even a label. He's a senior cadre. Would he give you something cheap like this?"
Mr. Huang said nothing.
"Go on." Chen Fei handed over the wine glass.
But Mr. Huang didn't answer.
"Come on, let me have a drink with you today and have a good chat with you!"
"I don't want to talk, why don't you leave?"
"Why, are you afraid that you will be influenced by me?"
"Who do you think you are, that you can persuade me?" the old man sneered.
"Then what are you worried about? Come on, drink!"
Chen Fei put the wine glass in front of the old man, picked up a glass himself, and drank it all in one gulp.
The old man hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"Old man, how old are you this year?" Chen Fei asked while pouring wine.
"Seventy-eight, didn't I tell you before?"
"Seventy-eight? That's quite old. In the words of our ancestors, even if the loess is buried up to your neck, you won't be able to live for more than a few years!"
The old man was unhappy when he heard this and stared: "Hey, Chen Fei, your skin is itchy today, right? How did you talk?"
Chen Fei smiled, picked up the wine glass, clinked it with the old man, took a sip, and then said: "Old man, you have lived to such an old age and you only have a few years left in your life, so why are you still living so blindly?
?”
"Am I going to survive?" Upon hearing this, the old man put down the cup with a bang and stood up in excitement.
"If you were smarter, how could you be so fussy about such trivial matters back then?" Chen Fei deliberately provoked him.
"What did you say? That's a big deal? What do you know?" The old man was annoyed and slapped the table: "My whole life's future has been ruined by that bitch Li Yuanqi, you know
Really? If it hadn’t been for him, would I have come back?”
When the old man got excited and cursed, he couldn't help but tell what happened back then.
Chen Fei didn't say anything, he just drank with the old man and listened quietly.
"Old man, let me say something that I shouldn't say. In fact, I think you should thank Li Yuanqi. Without Li Yuanqi, how would you be as happy as you are today?"
"Do you know how to speak human language? Do you still want me to thank others?" The old man laughed angrily.
Chen Fei put down his cup, looked into the old man's eyes and asked seriously: "Old man, do you think you can get along in the army based on your personality? Do you really think you can make a career in the army and achieve what Li Yuanqi once did?
position? Also, if you stay in the army, will you still meet your wife? Will you still have a son and daughter who are as obedient and capable as you are now? Will you still be as relaxed, comfortable and happy as you once were? "
After hearing Chen Fei's words, the old man lowered his head and fell silent.
"Old man, I don't think it will be better if you stay in the army, right? How old are you now? You have seen life and death. Those things that happened back then are no longer counted now.
What happened? If that's the case, why should you hold it against yourself? After all, you were brothers who died back then. After so many years, what else can't you let go of? "
The old man didn't say anything, he just took the wine bottle, poured himself a glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
