Chapter 73: Unconscious change

When Qu Sen woke up from his thoughts, it was already bright outside without realizing it, and a red sun was trying hard to break free from the constraints from the horizon.

"It's time for breakfast in the group now?" Qu Sen didn't look at the watch, but just thought about it in his mind.

The soldiers of the infantry regiment had already had breakfast and gathered again in the big square in front of the regiment headquarters. Unlike before, everyone was carrying backpacks and luggage. Behind them were two neatly parked rows of military trucks.

If you don’t look at the luggage you carry in your hands, and the time is different, this scene is very similar to the scenes that were presented before participating in the “Storm” exercise.

As the names were called, the soldiers who were called the names answered and left the line under the gaze of Liu Yuanchao and other infantry officers. They whispered the final farewell to their comrades beside them, and ran onto the designated truck.

The soldiers standing in the square were decreasing and eventually became empty. Soon after receiving the order, the truck drivers set off and left the gate of the infantry regiment, either left or right, and finally parted ways.

The numbers of the Central Military Region, the 22nd Army, the Fifth Division, and the Sixteenth Infantry Regiment disappeared from this moment.

There is only one left-behind office that remains in place, responsible for guarding the barracks and handling some unfinished matters. After the superiors send someone to take over, the left-behind office will be disbanded and no longer exist.

"Box lunches, fifteen, twenty-five." As a flight attendant pushed a special cart on the train bypassing the carriage, the sales sound brought Qu Sen from the company's canteen back to reality.

The lunch box on the train is very expensive and not delicious, so the sound of the flight attendant's sales did not attract everyone's desire to buy. After only a few servings were sold, the flight attendant quickly pushed the cart to the next car.

One of the students who played poker last night was a little familiar with him. He went to the boiler machine at the end of the car and rinsed a bowl of instant noodles. When he came back, he saw Qu Sen sitting alone, so he sat opposite him and asked, "Brother, have you been admitted to the military academy?"

Last night, when Company Commander Hong and Liao Genzhu said some things to study hard in the future when they were saying goodbye to Qu Sen in the carriage, they were heard by the passengers in the carriage, so the guy asked curiously.

"Oh, no, I went to college to undergraduate, and it was a further study." Qu Sen replied.

The boy was very talkative and took the initiative to tell Qu Sen that he and his classmates went out for a group trip after the college entrance examination. He also said that he had been admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology and expressed his disappointment about not being admitted to the military academy.

It can be seen that although this boy said he was disappointed, he was still very proud of being admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology, a nationally renowned engineering science university.

After talking for a while, the boy saw that Qu Sen was not very excited, so he said goodbye and returned to his seat with instant noodles.

As soon as the boy left, an uncle from Qu Sen's table came over and looked at Qu Sen's thief and asked, "Brother, what are the ways you took to go to the junior college to the military and how much did you spend?"

Seeing Qu Sen look at him in surprise, he explained a little embarrassedly: "Ha, my son also studied in a junior college. This is useless to have a college degree. I don't think about asking you what path to go to the army to study for undergraduate degree."

Qu Sen was a little helpless about the uncle's problem. He didn't want to pay attention to it, but after thinking about it, he didn't expect any misunderstandings, so he explained: "We won the first place in the military competition in our military region, and the troops allowed me to study."

When the uncle heard this, his eyes were disappointed, but he still responded: "Oh, that's not easy. It's a military district, which requires hundreds of thousands of people. It's not easy to get the first place."

Qu Sen was too lazy to answer the conversation, so he didn't say anything. The uncle might have thought it was quite boring, so he praised Qu Sen casually and returned to his seat.

The train continued to move forward with the rumbling sound of steel wheels rubbing against the rails. Soon, it was half a morning. When the conductor pushed the lunch box into the carriage for the nth time, the hawking sound had become all eight yuan per box.

Qu Sen felt a little hungry, so he paid for a box. The conductor may have seen a soldier buyer and kindly picked a box of meat and handed it to him.

Eight months of military life unknowingly changed many of Qu Sen's previous life habits. After thanking the conductor, he took the lunch box and didn't care whether it was delicious or not.

After eating, I picked up the disposable chopsticks and quickly filled all the rice and dishes in the lunch box.

You should know that before joining the army, Qu Sen was like most of his only children, but he was very picky. At that time, things like fat meat and celery in the lunch box would not touch a bite, but now they eat very delicious food.

He threw the empty lunch box into the trash can at the interval between the train carriages, and stayed for a while after returning to his seat. At noon, the name of the city where Qu Sen's family was finally heard from the train radio.

Seeing the scenery and buildings outside the car gradually becoming familiar, Qu Sen suddenly became a little excited, and he stood at the door of the car early and waited for the train to enter the station.

With a harsh sound of brakes, the train finally stopped slowly. Qu Sen imagined the surprise when his mother suddenly saw her, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face. This time, she came back because she was not prepared and did not call home in advance.

In fact, when Qu Sen's mother heard the knock on the door and saw her eldest son standing outside the door through the cat's eyes, she was excited and completely out of Qu Sen's imagination. The scream instantly penetrated the door and echoed in the cave. Then the door of the house was suddenly pushed open from the inside. The next second my mother rushed out and hugged Qu Sen in her arms, crying so hard.

More than eight months.

Qu Sen studied in college locally and has never left home for so long.

The thread in the hands of the loving mother, the clothes on the wandering son...

Qu Sen's mother's screams and crying quickly attracted neighbors on the same floor to open the door. When he saw that Qu Sen was back, he was not in a hurry to go back. While comforting Qu Sen's mother, he surrounded the mother and the other one into the house.

The fact that Qu Sen was admitted to undergraduate by the army was long known to Qu Sen's mother for neighbors and relatives, and the relatives and neighbors who received the news were envious and jealous. So everyone comforted Qu Sen's mother for a while, and Qu Sen naturally became the focus.

After all the congratulations, he followed up with inquiries. Qu Sen smiled and was modest, and said a few words to tell him how he made a contribution and was recommended by the group.

I can pass by my neighbors for a few words, but when my dad comes home in the evening, Qu Sen can't just say it simply.

However, I will definitely not mention the hard work during this period. I attributed the 400-meter retracement to the good genes given by my parents, which made me particularly excellent in terms of jumping and balance ability, so I got the first place.

As for the third-class merit behind, it can be simply said that I was lucky. I cracked the Blue Army's computer during the exercise and obtained important information.

Reporting good news to parents or bad news may be the common choice of all children.

He knew that his eldest son was not telling the truth, but Qu Sen's father and mother silently accepted Qu Sen's filial piety and did not ask any more questions. After a sumptuous dinner made by his mother, Qu Sen, who was exhausted, finally lay back on his big bed that seemed to have been away for half a lifetime.

The night was very sweet, but when the sun was about to rise, the biological clock that had been developed for a long time still woke Qu Sen up on time. He opened his eyes and looked at the familiar things in his bedroom. Qu Sen lay on the bed and smiled unknowingly, then got up, folded the towels neatly, and went out for a morning jog.

Although Qu Sen was willing to exercise before joining the army, running was never his hobby. But now if he wakes up in the morning and doesn't go out for a lap, he feels like he's not feeling arduous.

He forced himself to shout the slogan "one, two, three, four" loudly, ran around the community twice, and then returned home after sweating. As soon as he entered the door, his mother complained. For nothing else, he was just about the four edges and four corners of Qu Sen's bed and the regular towels.

"It's a hot day, I've been sleeping all night, so why did you fold it? I'm maggots (ou
