Chapter 32: Lao Ma's Choice

~7 min read 1,346 words

"Lao Qi, is this how you do things? I admit I drank a bottle of your good wine, can I pay you back? Huh? Do you have to be so absolute?"

At the door of the company office, Shi Jin squatted in the corner, feeling somewhat irritable listening to the noise inside.

The Third Company commander was completely red-faced, the anger in his eyes enough to ignite the entire company office.

Gao Cheng was full of smiles, mainly not fighting back when hit or scolded.

"Old Three! What are you saying? Do we need wine to connect our relationship? Ask yourself, isn't Xu Sanduo more developed in our company?"

"Development? Yes! Your Steel Seventh Company is the regiment's elite company, but you can't bully people like this, right?"

Gao Cheng lost his patience; he didn't want to splash and scold in the street.

So his expression became serious, "Old Three, the matter has already happened, Xu Sanduo's appointment process has already come down, what do you say? Do you want me to kowtow to you?"

"Fine, fine, fine! Don't give me that!" The Third Company commander was full of disgust, "The matter cannot be saved, I admit it, but Lao Qi... you can't laugh forever, there will be a time when you cry."

After speaking, the Third Company commander pushed the door and left angrily.

Gao Cheng touched the bridge of his nose, shrugged his shoulders, and his head swayed from side to side, making a soft, fine operatic tune, "That Wu Song..."

After Gao Cheng finished singing, Shi Jin pushed the door and walked in.

"Company Commander, should I go pick up Xu Sanduo tomorrow?"

Gao Cheng waved his hand, "Go for what? I haven't settled the account with you for the last time you went. Can't be too important. That soldier is very stubborn. Let the Third Company send him over, otherwise it's too easy for him to have a sense of superiority."

Shi Jin nodded, "Then I'll go first."

Gao Cheng stared at Shi Jin with a serious expression, "Squad Leader of the Third Squad, there is a whole army exercise this year. You must train those two bottom-ranking ones in the Third Squad."

"The squad leader's stay is related to the overall grade of the squad, do you understand?"

Shi Jin squeezed out a smile, showing his white teeth, "I understand, Company Commander."

After Shi Jin left, Gao Cheng smoked with a heavy expression.

"I hope Xu Sanduo can improve the Third Squad, otherwise... I must keep Shi Jin no matter what! Even if..."

This was the only reason Gao Cheng insisted on transferring Feng Yuxiu back to the Third Squad.

Missing one soldier king had no effect on the Steel Seventh Company as a whole.

But for the Third Squad, it would have a great improvement.

In order to let Shi Jin stay 100%, he specifically targeted Feng Yuxiu.

As for Feng Yuxiu himself, in his heart, he was not as important as this Third Squad leader.

The grassland Fifth Squad had a carnival atmosphere tonight.

Lao Ma held the beer, his face red.

He even climbed onto the instructor and shouted.

"Little He, back then I was also a soldier king of ten miles and eight villages, and I was also your role model, right?"

He Hongtao frowned, but didn't say much.

"I know, you pity me, so you insist on giving me a Third Class Merit. Does repairing the road count as a Third Class Merit? Isn't it a collective merit? I'm not a model, you say right?"

"Fifth Squad Leader, you're drunk." He Hongtao said unhappily.

"Heh heh, I have dignity, you pity me, what's the point of me staying? I didn't build the road to compete for merit, I built the road of life in my heart."

"Li Meng, what is the squad leader saying?" Lao Wei burped and said confusedly.

Li Meng's face was flushed, and he laughed, "The squad leader is worrying about his wine, it's nothing."

"Li Meng, what is the Squad Leader saying?" Lao Wei burped and said in confusion.

"I'm drunk? Old Zhang, here..." Lao Ma laughed, swayed from side to side, and took out a folded, old piece of paper from his bosom.

Feng Yuxiu's pupils shrank, and he walked up quickly, pressing Lao Ma's arm, and said in a deep voice, "Squad Leader, you're drunk, go to sleep."

"I'm not drunk, let go of me."

Lao Ma was staggered and helped onto the bed by Feng Yuxiu. The moment he stepped into the dormitory door, he struggled and wanted to push the door open and walk out.

Bang!

Feng Yuxiu used a hand knife to chop on Lao Ma's collar, and Lao Ma's soft body was instantly pressed onto the bed.

After tucking him in, Feng Yuxiu lowered his head and opened this folded paper by the light outside the door.

【Retirement Report!】

The four words were so dazzling.

Feng Yuxiu was silent for a long, long time, listening to the sound of glass bottles colliding outside, and didn't tear up this paper.

Instead, he stuffed it under Lao Ma's pillow.

This was perhaps a veteran's cold heart toward himself; he couldn't convince himself in his heart.

Even if the company gave him a Third Class Merit, even if he repaired a road that shocked the company.

"Clang!"

The dormitory door was pushed open roughly.

"Where's the soldier king? Come, have a drink with me, I want to see how good the soldier king's drinking capacity is!"

This was perhaps a veteran's disillusionment with himself; he couldn't convince himself in his heart.

Even if the company gave him a Third-Class Merit, even if he built a road that shocked the company.

"Ouch, leader gives you wine, not drinking is not giving face? Come, blow a bottle!"

The dormitory door was pushed open rudely.

Feng Yuxiu's expression was cold; he was in a very bad mood tonight.

He walked straight toward the wilderness under the slope and began his nightly run.

Only by running could he forget everything with his whole body and mind.

"Hey, the leader gives you wine, if you don't drink, are you not giving face? Come, finish a bottle!"

"Ouch, ouch, leader, leader, calm down, he's just like that, he doesn't get along with anyone, we all call him the lonely person. Don't get angry with him."

Feng Yuxiu's expression was cold; he was in a very bad mood tonight.

He walked straight toward the wilderness at the bottom of the slope and started his nightly run.

"You write articles too?"

"Is this soldier so arrogant?" Staff Zhang Ganshi was furious.

"Hey, hey, leader, leader, calm down, he's just like that, he doesn't get along with anyone, we all call him the Loner. Don't get angry with him."

So obvious that Li Meng lowered his head in shame.

"The propaganda section is missing someone, are you interested?"

Li Meng raised his head in ecstasy, "Leader, I'm blowing it!"

So this night, Li Meng drank until he vomited stomach acid.

It was also this night that he fell asleep smiling.

Early the next morning.

The company's phone call arrived at the Fifth Squad.

The instructor walked out after answering the phone.

"Xu Sanduo, pack your things, go to the regimental headquarters to report."

Lao Ma asked in confusion while holding his painful collar, "Isn't it going to the company? Why go to the regimental headquarters?"

The next morning.

Lao Ma looked around in a daze, "Don't know, oh my, Instructor, could it be that he was taken away by a wolf!!!"

The Political Director walked out after finishing the call.

"Xu Sanduo, pack your things, go to the Regimental Headquarters to report."

Lao Ma covered his painful neck and asked in confusion, "Isn't it going to the company? Why go to the Regimental Headquarters?"

"Stop talking nonsense, pack up quickly, where did Staff Zhang Ganshi go?"

Lao Ma stared blankly at his surroundings, "I don't know, oh my, Political Director, could he have been carried away by wolves!!!"
