Chapter 1574 Jin Kailai's Second Class Merit

“Boom~Boom~Boom~!”

"Please come in~!"

Ran Qilin was sitting on the bed, leaning against the wall, flipping through a book. He heard a knock at the door, folded the corner of the book, and put it aside.

Jin Kailai pushed open the door with an agitated look on his face, holding a washed lunch box in his hand. His muscular body almost blocked the door, and he didn't know where to put his hands, feeling uneasy.

"Chief, I~!"

Ran Qilin tilted his head, looking at his savior curiously, wondering why he was behaving like a child.

"What's wrong, Squad Leader Jin? It's okay, you can come in and talk~!"

Ran Qilin stood up, pulled out the stool next to the desk, sat on the edge of the bed, and motioned Jin Kailai to sit down and talk.

"Commander, my company commander and instructor just talked to me and said that the division has reported me for a second-class merit~!"

Second class merit! Jin Kailai had never thought that he could actually win the second class merit. He had been in the army for four years and had only been awarded as an outstanding soldier once. He felt like he was dreaming. The ground under his feet felt soft, as if he was stepping on clouds.

That night was thrilling. It was also the fastest time that Jin Kailai ran five kilometers. He killed one person with one shot and captured one person. In return, he was awarded a second-class merit~!

"Oh~, this is a good thing, it's worth it, you saved my life, come, have a smoke, don't be nervous~!"

Ran Qilin was very kind to his savior. He took out an unopened pack of Panda cigarettes from the drawer, opened it, and stuffed it into Jin Kailai's hand.

Ran Qilin doesn't smoke, but Li Feng does. When Li Feng entered the research institute, he often gave cigarettes to workers or cadres with good performance. Therefore, in the eyes of Professor Ran, this can be given as a reward, which is easier to accept than giving money.

Jin Kailai, who was 50% nervous and 50% excited, usually would not smoke in front of Ran Qilin, but the situation was different today. He really needed to smoke a cigarette to calm his heartbeat.

"Suck, hiss~!"

"Commander, I'm sorry. I'm so happy and excited~!"

He took a deep puff of the Panda cigarette. It had a completely different taste from the Da Shengchan he usually smoked. The fingers holding the cigarette were still trembling slightly. He was only in his fourth year, and many of the older squad leaders in the company had only achieved third-class merit at most.

He came from the countryside and came to the capital to serve as a soldier. It can be said that he is a lucky man in the entire commune. Defending the capital is defending the country. Now he has even won a second-class merit. Fortunately, the company commander and instructor had talked to him and made mental preparations in advance, otherwise, he would have been confused on the day of the award.

"It's okay. Didn't you just tell me earlier that your parents told you to join the army to make achievements? You saved me that night, which showed your bravery. A soldier who dares to charge and save others is worthy of the military medal. It should be yours~!"

Ran Qilin was neither a political commissar nor an instructor, and was not very good at political and ideological work, but he still told Jin Kailai his ideas.

With a genial smile on his face, Ran Qilin patted Jin Kailai on the back. Although his life was worthless, it was not bad to be able to give the young man in front of him an opportunity to exchange for a second-class merit. It proved that this army valued his life very much.

It feels great to be cared for by others, especially when living in such an environment. No matter how anxious you are, you can sleep well surrounded by the masculine energy~!

"I thought, I thought, at most a third-class merit~!"

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, which might have been caused by the cigarette, Jin Kailai gestured with three fingers, and then took a deep puff of the cigarette, which showed that it was really unexpected.

"Haha, you are underestimating me. Although my life is worthless, I can still do something with it~!"

Standing up from the edge of the bed, Ran Qilin stood proudly beside the desk. Although he was old, based on the knowledge of materials science in his head, it can be said that there were not many people in the country who could surpass him. This was ability. "Of course, all this also depends on your own efforts. You didn't just rely on me. Your shooting skills are very accurate. You killed the other one with one shot, and scared the other one to kneel down and surrender. In addition, the distance from here to us is not close~!"

He ran nearly three kilometers in ten minutes, which was already beyond the limit of the human body. Even so, he was still able to shoot cleanly without any delay. If he hesitated for a second, Ran Qilin would have fallen down.

Jin Kailai listened to the advice very well. He stood up from his chair and looked out the window blankly. After joining the army, he actively exercised his physical fitness and honed his marksmanship.

That night, he really gave it his all. If he didn't get the credit, who would? Any other veterans in the company who were on duty at that time might have ignored the sound of gunfire, or even if they could distinguish it, they might have hesitated. Those who were better in physical fitness than him were not as good at shooting as him, and those who were as good at shooting as him were not as good in physical fitness as him.

It can be said that no matter who comes from the company, it will be impossible to rescue the person in time.

"Men, you have to have confidence. You have worked hard to get this reward. You shouldn't thank anyone. This is the result of your hard work. You deserve it~!"

Ran Qilin's self-confidence comes from his professional knowledge and from the research of special steel for nuclear submarines. Only then did he lead the team to win the first-class collective merit. When receiving the commendation, Ran Qilin also thought that he deserved it.

"Yes, be confident, I am an excellent shooter~!"

The anxiety and nervousness gradually began to fade away under Ran Qilin's persuasion, and what filled his chest was the self-confidence that as long as it was the right thing and done well, he should be rewarded.

"My parents will be very happy, Commander. You know what? Now, if you make meritorious service, you will be awarded a plaque to your hometown with drums and gongs, and there will also be bonuses. I don't care about the money or not. My parents will be very happy. I am in the army and I didn't bring shame to them~!"

Once he convinced himself, Jin Kailai calmly accepted the result that he had won the second-class merit. When he thought about the follow-up after the merit, Jin Kailai clenched his fists tightly.

In the words of the villagers, that is called bringing honor to the family. When Jin Kailai thought of the county armed forces department beating drums and gongs to present a plaque to his family, the sense of pride that came from his blood made him a little overwhelmed.

He really didn't care about the bonuses for meritorious service. As long as he could bring honor to his family, money became the least important thing.

"They should be happy to have a child like you. The army is fair. You will get what you put in. Defending our country is not just a slogan. It is precisely because of this spiritual pillar that we can build an invincible team~!"

Ran Qilin began to give off the air of a political cadre, especially with one hand on the desk and the other clenched into a fist. If Li Feng saw this now, he would probably be shocked.

"By the way, Commander, the instructor asked me if I want to go to military school in the future~!"

Suddenly, Jin Kailai scratched his hair in annoyance. He had participated in the military examination before. He had been very confident and encouraged by Comrade Liu Feng. Unfortunately, his academic performance was average, so he missed the opportunity.

Now, this opportunity suddenly appeared in front of me. With the second-class merit, theoretically I could be admitted to the military academy, but it also depends on whether I am willing to go.

"Go, just go if you are asked to go, don't hesitate at all. Going to school is always the best way. I know what you are worried about. Grades are secondary. What is important is the process. Why do you think I am valued by the army? It is because of my academic qualifications and what I learned in school."

"Military career is your starting point, but not your end point. In one's life, one will face many choices, but I want to tell you that you must respect knowledge and respect the opportunity to gain knowledge, because it will completely change your life~!"

Patting Jin Kailai on the shoulder with a big hand, Ran Qilin said in a very serious tone that he was very optimistic about the young comrade in front of him, not entirely because he saved his life.

It's because of his sincerity and the inferiority complex in his bones because he comes from the countryside. He is obviously a very good child, except that he is a little straightforward. This is Ran Qilin's personal feeling after getting along with him these days.

"Then I'll go back and tell the instructor that I want to go~!"

The inferiority complex of rural children gradually disappeared. So what if their grades were average? During the large-scale military training, there were many people who were promoted to officers in bombing and shooting, and those who were promoted to officers because of their strong military qualities and went to study. He, Jin Kailai, was no worse than anyone else!
