Ye Jian had been here for four days and had been acquainted with the newly elected sniper soldiers. Upon hearing this, she smiled at Regiment Commander Liu and Political Commissar Yan, who had specially come to visit Principal Chen, “Alright, I won’t accompany you anymore, I’ll have to go train first.”
“Sure, sure, go ahead, we have to go, too.” Regiment Commander Liu smiled and waved his hand at Ye Jian, letting her know that she didn’t have to wait for them, “We will visit Old Chen again when we have time; you also got to take care of yourself.”
The sniper base was under the direct jurisdiction of the Military Region of Yunnan Province. Regiment Commander Liu and Political Commissar Yan only had a training base dedicated to the auto soldiers in Zhongnanhai. So they could only come to have a quick look and leave. It was impossible for them to stay for a long time.
Without asking Ye Jian to send them off, Regiment Commander Liu smiled and sighed after she left, “From now on, this will be Old Chen’s resident. I’m afraid the troops in the mountains will have difficulty inviting him back.”
“Yes, it’s a pity. In the past, Old Chen went to the army to guide soldiers’ shooting training from time to time, and he brought up their shooting level quite high. In the future…well, I say we can only wait and see.”
Political Commissar Yan smiled and patted his partner on the shoulder, “We have to rely on our own. Old Chen has already brought us a batch, so we have to let this batch teach the next batch, batch by batch. Don’t waste Old Chen’s effort.”
“After we leave, I think it will be hard for us to meet Old Chen and Ye girl. It will be rare for them to return to the army again. Let’s go, Old Liu, let’s go to the old place for a drink.”
“I wanted to say something to Ye girl earlier, but you stared at me. Now you want me to accompany you for a drink. Why don’t you call Ye girl? This girl is just like our children. If the two of us leave as well,…I wonder if Ye girl will feel reluctant or not.”
Regiment Commander Liu said in a low voice, while Political Commissar Yan smiled and replied, “I told Old Chen and asked him to talk to Ye girl. I’m fine, just you…”
In the howling cold wind, the two black and green figures talking to each other drifted away. Ye Jian, who ran to the end of the training ground, turned around and looked at the two figures that had left and said to Principal Chen: “Uncle Chen, let’s go back to Shuikou Village when I have holidays next time. I quite miss the soldiers there.”
More importantly, there was the first unit she came into contact with. Before leaving Shuikou Village, all her holidays were spent in the unit that quietly served as the north-south weapon and fuel transport.
Her feelings for the unit were more profound than those for Shuikou Village as if they were her roots.
Principal Chen, who was in a fairly good mood, smiled and agreed, “Sure, no problem. As long as you want to go back, you can go back anytime, but it will be a little difficult for Political Commissar Yan and Regiment Commander Liu to be transferred.”
“Transfer? Are you sure?” Ye Jian was quite surprised, and then she realized that Regiment Commander Liu Political Commissar Yan had been stationed in Fujun Town for many years. She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
“Regiment Commander Liu changed his career, and Political Commissar Yan was transferred. I want to return to the army in the future… Let’s talk about it at that time.” Principal Chen sighed lightly and then continued, “The banquets in the world will all leave when it’s time. You have to go even if you don’t want to; you have to walk even if you don’t want to, and you have to suck it up even if you feel reluctant.”
Ye Jian’s feelings deepened, “Among those steel battalion soldiers, there will always be veterans retiring every year. I still remember a few soldiers from coastal cities that I met in junior high school. Years had passed, and they had already retired and returned to campus.”
“I don’t know where Regiment Commander Liu will return when he is transferred, or where Political Commissar Yan will be transferred to. Just now… why didn’t I ask them…” Ye Jian looked at the place where they stood together just now. She was originally in a good mood, but now her mood was slightly impacted.
