Yang Shaoqing: Hello (^-^)
Turtle Fang: ... You insisted on getting my QQ password last ti just to change my QQ na?! Turtle Fang... Does that sound good?
At noon, two seriously half-paralyzed individuals were typing on the keyboards in the Microcomputer Room, their hands seemingly rented.
Yang Shaoqing: Do you really think the original "Huang Jiaojiao Jiaojiao Jiaojiao" sounded good?
Fang Huai imdiately froze.
Fuck, he had actually forgotten he had chosen such a stupid na before.
He had logged into QQ twice after enlisting and had rushed to send files before logging off each ti, never paying attention to it.
But Yang Shaoqing definitely saw it.
Fang Huai suddenly felt that Brother Yang was really quite gentle.
Not being blocked by him was a stroke of luck.
The fortune teller from Sichuan, the skyrocket from Chongqing.
Luckily, Brother Yang was straightforward, changing it directly for him and even telling him about it. If he had to go through a Sichuan girl, she’d probably beat around the bush, teasing him for half a day, then make him find the issue and change it himself.
Turtle Fang: Comrade Little Yang, you’ve done well, I’ve decided to give you a gift.
Just kidding, there was no way he would admit he was wrong.
Taking out the watch he had bought to appease her was indeed a plan.
And it could divert the conversation.
Sure enough.
Yang Shaoqing: What gift?
Turtle Fang: I spent all the allowance I’ve received since enlisting on it for you! Wait till you have a break. I should be in Chongqing by then, and I’ll give it to you.
After Fang Huai sent the ssage, he suddenly felt a twinge in his heart.
He seed to understand what his uncle ant by the words he said when he left last ti.
Yang Shaoqing: I heard about it.
Turtle Fang: You heard about what?
This ti, the reply ca very slowly.
Yang Shaoqing: Uncle Zhang said you went all out to join the training in Chongqing, and ntioned there were four periods. You endured the sweltering heat to wait for the fourth period to co, wanting to wait for the college holidays... is the training over there very tough?
Fang Huai pondered for a while after reading the ssage.
He couldn’t directly admit it, otherwise, the effect would be halved.
Turtle Fang: I wanted to co back on my own, no worries, the training isn’t tough, I just missed Chongqing.
Yang Shaoqing: Oh, I see.
Turtle Fang: ? What do you see?
Fang Huai was about to strike while the iron was hot when the avatar on the other side quickly went gray.
Turning his head, he saw Song Lin sitting beside him, staring at his screen. When Fang Huai tilted his screen away, Song Lin chuckled, "What are you chatting about? Look at mine!"
Saying that, he shalessly tilted his own screen towards Fang Huai.
Fang Huai imdiately felt like he saw sothing he shouldn’t have, as if his eyes were about to sprout sores.
Their conversation was full of "hubby" and "wifey," along with kissing emojis. Just a day before, Song Lin had sent "I love you so much, wifey~(^з^)".
"Damn, I’m blind."
Song Lin just laughed foolishly. It was apparent that he really liked the other person.
Fang Huai asked curiously: "I heard from you that where you’re from, it’s common to have the wedding early, following the tradition of holding the banquet first and getting the certificate later. Why didn’t you two get married before enlisting?"
Song Lin suddenly looked a little upset: "I proposed, but when her mom heard about my average family background, she disagreed. She said her daughter was still young and unaware, that she needed to test . She told to find steady work after being discharged and to discuss it then, and she wants us to buy... so things that are hard for to talk about. Anyway, she’s pretty rcenary."
Fang Huai chuckled when he heard this, stood up, and patted his shoulder, saying:
"Testing you? Bro, you’re a guardian of our country now. In our nation, only The Party and The People have the right to test you!"
Song Lin shrugged and waved it off: "Forget it, as long as she’s good with , that’s what matters. As for her mom, we’ve agreed on a plan: when I go back, we’ll get pregnant, and whether they agree or not won’t matter."
That’s when Fang Huai really laughed: "Well... if you’re set on this approach, it’s doable, but ideally, you should seek peace before resorting to force. Also, if she really gets pregnant, before coming clean, make sure she hides her family’s kitchen knife and her dad’s shoes; if sothing goes wrong, it’ll be easier to run."
Song Lin shuddered a bit at that.
"Damn, you say that and now I’m kind of scared. Her dad is with the police station."
"Then that’s great, no need to hide the knife and shoes. With a Type 54 pistol, 7.62 caliber, with an effective range of 50 ters, if they let you run 20 ters, it’s practically one for one exchange.
But don’t worry, it’s not loaded with Dum-Dum bullets or hollow points, so it won’t explode in your body; your departure will be relatively peaceful.
The gun has high penetration power, so don’t run into the street. The bullets might pass through you and hit bystanders.
When you get discharged, leave my number on your phone. Your parents can then use your phone to inform to co for the feast."
As he spoke, Fang Huai suddenly clapped his hand on Song Lin, whose expression had gone blank.
"Bam!"
"Damn!" Song Lin was startled into jumping.
"Fang Huai, I curse your grave!"
...
Soldiers who train regularly recover quickly, just like relentless weeds that spring back up after being cut down.
After a midday nap, they were lively and full of energy again.
Following the wake-up bugle, Hao Chengbin went to the Squadron Departnt and then returned to the study room in the barracks, patting the still sleeping Fang Huai:
"Let’s go, let’s go, pack your things, we’re heading to the countryside!"
Fang Huai woke up drowsy.
Morning training had been so intense that after working on the PPT for a while, he couldn’t stand it and had taken a nap.
"What’s up, squad leader?"
"To the countryside, police dispatch!"
Hao Chengbin called out again.
"Clang!" Fang Huai sprang up instantly, knocking the stool to the ground, and shouted, "Police dispatch without an alarm bell?"
"Let’s go, let’s go, I’ll tell you on the way!"
...
Hao Chengbin drove, with Fang Huai, Song Lin, Liu Jianfeng, and Zhang Yang getting into the vehicle.
To everyone’s surprise, Hao Chengbin actually knew how to drive a fire truck.
That was not really strange, third-period old soldiers generally all had learned to drive.
But there were surprisingly no cadres leading the team.
There was no Communication Officer either.
"Squad leader, we’re not bringing a Communication Officer?"
Hao Chengbin laughed: "We’re going to work, what do we need a Communication Officer for?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Jianfeng seed to understand: "Work? Helping the elderly in the countryside with agricultural work? Then we should bring a Communication Officer even more! Shouldn’t we take so photos and write a report?
And besides, we should be wearing ergency rescue suits for harvesting wheat!"
He wasn’t inexperienced in such matters either. Back in ’06 when he was a new recruit, the Detachnt had organized a "Lonely Elderly Care Action," and he went with his Squadron to the rural areas to help harvest wheat.
"Harvest what damn wheat?" Hao Chengbin was both angry and amused:
"Haven’t you stayed in the countryside? Is this the season for harvesting wheat? It’s ti for irrigation!
Wheat in the south doesn’t usually need irrigation, but this year’s spring has been unusually dry, so we’re just going to water it a bit!"
Fang Huai was dumbfounded: "Squad leader, we’re also responsible for this?!"
Damn, not once in my previous five years had I driven a fire truck to help farrs irrigate their fields!
This is a waste of police resources!
Hao Chengbin shook his head helplessly: "No choice, the Command Center called, said so old man who’s reported false alarms before called again, claiming that the wheat straw he was burning started a field fire.
The man had already called during a spring drought the year before..."
Liu Jianfeng slapped his hand, rembering: "Damn, I rember now! It’s Six Turns, right? Cow Herding Slope! The false alarm from last year!
He reported a fire in the field, and when we got there, he said he had already extinguished it by himself and wouldn’t let us leave, insisting we help him water his fields!
I don’t know who gave him that sneaky idea!
Over eight acres! And I was the one carrying the rifle, which is why I got bitten by so many bugs!
The key issue is that last year other farrs started doing the sa, asking us to irrigate for them, that entire village reported several false alarms! They’ve started again?"
Hao Chengbin glanced at Liu Jianfeng sitting in the passenger seat, then nodded:
"Right, it’s the sa family that first reported an alarm.
That’s why the Command Center didn’t dispatch a unit imdiately, they called us to handle it. Instructor Cao and I discussed it, and we decided to go take a look. If it can’t be helped, we’ll just water it for them."
"We must give them a warning, squad leader." Fang Huai said, furrowing his eyebrows:
"It’s not just a matter of wasting police power anymore. Look, the dispatchers already don’t trust that village, responding to calls lazily.
Using various excuses to make us help them irrigate, what if a real fire breaks out?
Then everyone would be like today, dispatching police untily and not deploying forces properly!
This season, the countryside is dealing with heaps of straw, burning wasteland, burning wheat straw; do you know how much combustible material is piled up? If we respond slowly, how far could a fire spread?
Being soft-hearted for a mont could lead to a major fire disaster! This kind of behavior must not be encouraged!"
Hao Chengbin couldn’t help but ease off the accelerator, carefully considering Fang Huai’s words.
After a while, he nodded: "You’re right, we can’t help them water, and we need to give them a serious warning. You have a way with words, you scold them when we get there."
After speaking, he pressed the accelerator harder again.
Liu Jianfeng imdiately felt relieved.
He had just been worrying about getting bitten by bugs again this year.
In spring, everything cos back to life, and the bugs in the fields can be quite fierce, and not sothing you can totally keep out with just a pair of thick combat uniform trousers.
It really was thanks to Fang Huai’s eloquence that everyone was spared from doing this "extracurricular activity."
The mood on the road beca much lighter, with everyone looking at the young rice seedlings on the roadside and even humming songs.
"Eh? Fang Huai, did you and the other new recruits know about Han Yong having a wife?" Liu Jianfeng asked curiously.
Fang Huai smiled: "I knew, and so did Squad Leader Hao. His marriage is an arranged one within his family, it’s best that you don’t ask too much."
Hao Chengbin, after listening, nodded as well: "Big background."
Liu Jianfeng imdiately glared at Fang Huai, "What do I care about his family for? Even if his family is filled with high-ranking officials, it has nothing to do with ! I was asking about that girl this morning, she looks quite similar to my girlfriend!"
Fang Huai imdiately laughed: "Squad leader, be careful with online romance."
That hit a nerve for Liu Jianfeng.
"What do you know, have you even dated? Acting all experienced in front of , while I’ve dated seven or eight already! Each one of them, totally presentable!"
"Squad leader is impressive," Fang Huai said with a laugh.
Liu Jianfeng instantly felt good about himself:
"Wait until your second year, co to the Microcomputer Room, and I’ll introduce you to a few! With your quick reflexes, you’d definitely excel at this! And let tell you, there are plenty of beauties!"
Fang Huai smirked.
Yeah, right, whatever you say. As if you, a penniless first-period non-commissioned officer, could really connect with a goddess.
As they were talking, Hao Chengbin’s phone rang.
He glanced at it and casually tossed the phone to Fang Huai in the back, "Instructor Cao’s call, take it."
This small gesture made everyone a bit jealous.
Among everyone in the vehicle, Hao Chengbin trusted Fang Huai the most.
Fang Huai pressed the answer button, looked around, and then switched on the speakerphone.
"Old Hao, have you guys arrived?" Cao Yi’s voice sounded anxious.
Feeling that sothing was wrong, Fang Huai replied, "Instructor Cao, this is Fang Huai! Have you guys co over?"
"Yes! The Command Center had just called, saying people nearby have also called in an alarm! You guys hurry over and take a look!
Fang Huai, don’t panic when you arrive at the scene, assess the situation with Squad Leader Hao! If the fire is too big, try to wait for us to co and support!"
Everyone’s faces started to tense up.
"Got it, Instructor Cao, rest assured, we will ensure safety first, and our handling of the situation will prioritize preventing the fire from spreading," Fang Huai said solemnly.
Cao Yi, hearing this, breathed a sigh of relief, "Good, with you and Hao Chengbin there, I’m reassured. Once you reach the scene, deal with it as you see fit."
"Yes."
(Don’t complain it’s cut off, if I add more, the most would be a brief context.)
