Chapter 46 Who is in favor? Who is against? [Please give me a monthly ticket! Please read on! ]
On the green train, Zhao Weihong learned more or less about some mysterious "strange stories" about the army from other recruits.
For example, the baggage warehouse, drying yard, and toilets and washrooms used during breaks are all "forbidden areas" in the army. You must not go there, and you must not go there with the squad leader!
Zhao Weihong didn't take it seriously at the time and thought that these new recruits were spreading rumors.
But look at Shi Jidong, who has the words "bad intentions" clearly engraved on his face at this moment.
Zhao Weihong suddenly felt that this strange story was not completely groundless.
Zhao Weihong swallowed nervously, made up his mind, and walked over while dragging his still weak legs.
But after Zhao Weihong entered the bathroom, the rest of the "strange story" did not happen.
Shi Jidong was seen sitting casually by the pool, taking out a pack of cigarettes and lighting them with a click, and motioning to Zhao Weihong,
"Want a cigarette? One?"
Without waiting for Zhao Weihong to answer, Shi Jidong put the cigarette back.
"I'm just being polite, don't take it seriously."
"And you don't look like a smoker."
Zhao Weihong: “.”
This is Shi Jidong’s bad taste.
I always like to give people hope and then make them despair!
Maybe this is a common problem among squad leaders in the army?
But somehow, after being interrupted by Shi Jidong, Zhao Weihong's slightly nervous mood disappeared without a trace, and she even had the mind to ask Shi Jidong a question.
"Squad leader, how do you know I don't smoke?"
"observe."
Exhaling a large cloud of smoke with great comfort, Shi Jidong continued lightly.
"When I took out the cigarette just now, you tensed up and looked a little nervous."
"But when I took out the cigarette, you relaxed again and didn't pay attention to my subsequent actions."
"You shouldn't be a chain smoker reacting like that. You should show some desire and anticipation."
"But you didn't, so I concluded that you don't smoke."
After saying that, Shi Jidong took out the cigarette again and handed it to Zhao Weihong along with the lighter.
"Want to try?"
Zhao Weihong shook her head subconsciously, but her right hand slowly raised up as if out of control, and she took the cigarette from Shi Jidong's hand as if possessed by a ghost.
He suddenly understood Zhao Yuejin.
Just two days after arriving in the army, Zhao Weihong, driven by pressure, wanted to try smoking, or in other words, wanted a way to relieve stress.
Does this count as turning a good person into a bad person?
Zhao Weihong smiled self-deprecatingly, and his hands started moving.
He took the cigarette, brought it to his lips and lit it, then took a long puff.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
As Zhao Weihong's heart-wrenching coughing sounded, Shi Jidong smiled as if he had succeeded in his prank.
"Ha ha ha ha."
"When my squad leader in the recruit company gave me a cigarette, my reaction was exactly the same as yours now!"
"Okay, control it, the other classes are having lunch break, don't wake them up."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Weihong's voice suddenly became softer, but she still kept coughing and tears were streaming down her face.
"Ahem, this squad leader thing. Ahem, it's really not suitable for me."
"."
"Monitor?"
Zhao Weihong wiped away the tears that blurred her vision, and saw Shi Jidong staring at the wall in a daze with a wandering look. The cigarette in his hand was about to burn his fingertips, but he remained indifferent.
"Squad leader, I really can't get used to this thing"
"Don't talk nonsense to me."
"Shi Jidong, Shi Jidong, you said you don't smoke, don't drink, and have no entertainment at all."
"Don't you feel depressed?"
"well enough"
"Bullshit! I think you are just a balloon. Sooner or later you will blow yourself up!" "Remember this."
"If you want to continue working in the army, you must learn to compromise with yourself and learn a pastime that can relieve stress!"
"Look at me, your squad leader."
"After taking a puff of the cigarette, I forget everything that happened before!"
"."
The sudden burning pain in his hand brought Shi Jidong back to reality from his memories.
Shi Jidong put out the cigarette that was about to burn out, looked at the slightly confused Zhao Weihong, and said what his squad leader had once said to him.
"try again."
"This stuff is just like life in the military."
"When you take a bite, it tastes bitter and pungent, and makes you cough. You can't help but curse what the hell is this thing?"
“Why do so many people like it?”
"But if you try, you will get used to it and fall in love with it."
"I can't leave."
Shi Jidong's tone was unusually gentle, and carried a hint of nostalgia.
It's like talking to my past self.
Zhao Weihong was silent for a moment, then brought the cigarette to his lips and took a deep puff.
Feeling the smoke gradually spreading throughout his body, Zhao Weihong took another sip.
Once you take this bite, you can’t stop.
He looked at Zhao Weihong with a smile, smoking fiercely and coughing from time to time.
Shi Jidong didn't say a word the whole time. He waited quietly for Zhao Weihong to finish her cigarette before he spoke calmly.
"Is it better?"
Hearing this, Zhao Weihong didn't understand what Shi Jidong was referring to for a moment, but still nodded.
"I had some misunderstandings about you before."
"It feels like you're just a conspicuous bag trying to attract attention."
"But now let's look at it, Zhao Weihong."
"You really want to be a good soldier."
Zhao Weihong: “.”
Listening to Shi Jidong's confident words, Zhao Weihong really wanted to say, "Squad leader, you have misunderstood me."
Be a good soldier?
Zhao Weihong certainly thought about it, but this was not the fundamental reason that drove him to take various actions.
Even Zhao Weihong's fear of raising pigs was stronger than his desire to be a good soldier.
It comes down to it.
Zhao Weihong just wanted to have a different and exciting life in the army.
If the prerequisite for achieving this goal is to be a good soldier.
Zhao Weihong tried to be a good soldier!
"gone back."
While Zhao Weihong was still in a daze, Shi Jidong patted him on the shoulder and walked out of the bathroom first.
Zhao Weihong followed behind woodenly, very confused as to Shi Jidong's intention in calling her out.
You didn't say anything, why are you going back?
In the dormitory, Quan Shiqian and others were talking in low voices.
Seeing Shi Jidong suddenly come back, the dormitory became quiet in an instant, and everyone pretended to fix the quilt.
Shi Jidong glanced at them and didn't care. Instead, he pulled the still confused Zhao Weihong in front of him and announced loudly.
"An announcement."
"From today on, Zhao Weihong will be the deputy monitor of our second company's first squad, in charge of the class's housekeeping and hygiene work."
"When I'm not around, he's the monitor of our class, and his words are my words."
"Now let me ask for your opinion."
"Who is in favor? Who is against?"
