The Red Era: Living in Seclusion in a Siheyuan as a Boss

Chapter 525 On the way, the hero saves the beauty!!!
Soon, the brothers Liu Wen and Liu Wu graduated from high school and took part in this year's college entrance examination.

These days, to take the college entrance examination you have to go through two levels of preliminary selection, and only if your graduation scores meet the requirements can you take the national unified college entrance examination.

The brothers Liu Wen and Liu Wu got very good results in the college entrance examination and were among the best in the entire Yanjing area.

Because the college entrance examination policy these days is to release the results first and then fill in the college entrance examination application form.

So the school gathered together graduates like Liu Wen and Liu Wu who had been admitted to university to fill out their applications.

Brother Liu Wen’s first choice was undoubtedly Yan University. He was determined to become the second generation of the Liu family to study at Yan University. His second choice was Renmin University.

However, my younger brother Liu Wu only filled out one application - Shishi Army Command College.

When the teacher saw that he had only filled in this one choice, he suggested that he fill in another one, but Liu Wu politely declined.

He only wanted to get into this military academy, and was determined not to return until he had conquered Loulan.

After filling out the application form, Liu Wu was personally accompanied by his uncle Liu Fusheng, the district armed forces minister. The physical examination and political review process went extremely smoothly and without any obstacles.

All is ready except for the opportunity!

At the end of July, Liu Wu did not have to wait long before he received the bright red admission letter from Shishi Military Academy.

The military academy requires new students to report in late August and hold an opening ceremony in early September.

Liu Wu was so excited that he immediately called his father Liu Zhiye to announce the good news: "Dad! I was admitted to the military academy!"

"Well, it's okay, but Xiaowu, you can't be proud. Being admitted to a military academy doesn't mean that you are a qualified soldier. This is just the beginning. I hope you..." Unconsciously, Liu Zhiye treated his son as his soldier.

Liu Wu listened to the phone call, straightened his back, and said, "Dad, don't worry, I will never do anything wrong in your name when I go to the military academy. I am just an ordinary student and will never discredit you..."

When Liu Zhiye heard this, he smiled with relief and said, "Little bastard, Dad can't go back to celebrate with you, don't be disappointed!"

Liu Wu grinned at his brother and said into the microphone: "Dad, what are you talking about? We are all grown up and won't be disappointed. Besides, I will soon become a revolutionary soldier. I am not a child anymore!"

"Haha, good, good, you have indeed grown up. Liu Wu, Dad is waiting for the day when you become a qualified soldier!" Liu Zhiye laughed heartily.

After Liu Zhiye hung up the phone, he had a smile on his face and shook his head gently, looking particularly happy.

Office Director Song Kangmei saw his happy face and had a rough idea in mind, so she asked with a smile: "Commander, did Xiaowu get into the military academy?"

Liu Zhiye sat on the sofa, smiled and nodded in response: "This kid was just showing off to me, we need to put down his cocked tail."

"Haha, who's looking so proud?" At this time, Lao Zhiye's deputy Lao Luo pushed open the door and walked in.

When Liu Zhiye saw Chief Luo coming, he immediately stood up and greeted him: "Hey, Lao Luo, what brings you here? Please take a seat!"

Lao Luo sat down on the sofa beside him, took off his military cap, smoothed his hair, and said, "Lao Liu, there should be a happy event at home, right?"

Liu Zhiye was startled at first, then suddenly realized and said, "I can't hide anything from you!"

Lao Luo smiled and shook his head: "Don't forget, I am also the president of the Army Academy. I came here to announce the good news, but unfortunately I am a step late."

Liu Zhiye smiled heartily. He knew that Liu Wu's identity could not be hidden from the school management. Then his expression became serious: "Lao Luo, I have only one request. Liu Wu cannot receive any special treatment in school. He is just an ordinary student."

Lao Luo nodded and said, "Don't worry, our college will never do that."

Liu Zhiye smiled and handed over a cigarette, saying, "Try it, this is the cigarette produced by Liujiazhuang, it's no worse than Huazi!"

Lao Luo took a deep breath and nodded in approval: "Not bad! Give me two when you leave!"

Liu Zhiye smiled and pointed at him: "Good for you, Lao Luo, you said you were here to announce the good news, but you are actually here to rob, right?"

"Haha..." Lao Luo laughed insincerely, and then changed the subject: "Lao Liu, you have been in office for more than a year, right? We can't be partial to one and ignore the other. You have never inspected our Army Academy once!"

"Okay, this is the purpose of your coming. Well, let me think about it, then let's do it in September, when your new students enter the military academy!" Liu Zhiye's mind moved, and he finally made a decision.

He really had no choice as the military region was so large and there were so many affairs to deal with.

Lao Luo achieved his goal and left Liu Zhiye's office with a smile, taking away two packs of his special cigarettes before leaving.

…………

In August, Liu Wu came to the Shishi Army School, the school he had always dreamed of, holding a bright red admission letter in his hand and carrying his youthful dreams with him.

Coming here is not for admission, but the last step before admission - review.

"A sword's sharpness comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.

If it weren't for the bone-chilling cold, how could the plum blossoms be so fragrant? "

Shishi Army Academy is an institution for training grassroots command officers of the army.

The college is located in the western suburbs of Shishi at the foot of Taihang Mountain, covering an area of ​​3 hectares, with a beautiful environment and magnificent momentum.

Known for its brutal training, it is known as the "West Point" military academy of Xia State!
After reporting to the school, the district captain gave Liu Wu and other freshmen a brief introduction to the school’s situation.

The team leader and the instructor combined the study of school rules and regulations and the student academic management regulations and put forward strict and specific requirements for them.

Shortly after entering the school, the school-organized re-examination, re-examination and re-examination began one after another.

The main contents of the review, re-examination and re-examination include three parts: political, cultural and physical.

Compared with Liu Wu and other freshmen who come from local areas, the students who are admitted from the army have a much easier journey.

There will be no problem with their political review unless they cannot adapt to the intensive training and strict management of the military academy, in which case they will generally pass.

The cultural re-examination was held in the large classroom on the fourth floor of the squadron, and it felt like experiencing another military exam.

The questions in the re-examination felt almost the same as those in the military academy entrance examination, and some subjects were even the original questions.

This year, I scored over 400 points in the unified military examination and easily completed the re-examinations in all subjects.

Then comes the military reexamination, which has little to do with the academic studies of places like Liuwu, as they only test physical fitness and other items.

However, those who passed the exam from the army were required to take exams on marching, five kilometers, 100-meter obstacle course, equipment (single and double bars), shooting, individual tactics, etc., which basically covered all the military subjects they had practiced in the army.

The physical examination was conducted in the school outpatient department. The content of the examination was similar to that of Liu Wu's examination when he enrolled in school. Liver function, tuberculosis and other infectious diseases were the focus of the examination.

Not long after the re-examination, the notice came that several people in Liu Wu's team failed.

One of Liu Wu's students in the clinic had a minor health problem.

After re-examination, re-testing and re-checking, Liu Wu and other qualified students were given brand new cadre uniforms.

The uniforms of students these days are exactly the same as those of cadres. Although the winter uniform is still made of polyester fabric, it has four pockets.

Finally putting on the cadre uniform with four pockets, it marked the beginning of the military academy life that Liu Wu and his classmates had dreamed of in their youth.

After being successfully admitted, Liu Wu went home and immediately handled the organizational relationship.

After saying goodbye to his family, he took the green hard seat train back to school alone and embarked on a new journey in life.

Liu Wu had several dreams that day, all of which were about soldiers. It seemed that he could no longer suppress his yearning for a military career.

The train started slowly with a long whistle. Liu Wu stared greedily at Yan Jingcheng getting farther and farther away outside the window.

I don’t know when I will be able to come back next time. I have mixed feelings in my heart and I can’t tell whether I am happy or sad.

The carriage was bustling with people, including middle-aged ladies selling snacks and vendors shaking their carts and hawking their wares, and the simple atmosphere of the market was everywhere.

Liu Wu leaned against the window and looked out, his eyes inadvertently passing by a young girl in simple clothes outside the car window.

The girl was about nineteen or twenty years old. Although she was dressed in simple homely clothes, she was very neat and tidy.

She casually tied her black hair into a bun, revealing her smooth forehead and delicate profile.

She was concentrating on the needlework in her hands, and from time to time she would look up and around, seeming a little nervous and embarrassed.

Liu Wu guessed quickly that perhaps this girl was also a stranger and was rushing back to her hometown.

Seeing that the carriage was getting farther and farther away, she might have been wondering when she could return to this familiar land next time.

Just like that, the plain scenery along the way slowly flowed away from the car window, but Liu Wu's eyes were still attracted and bound by that inconspicuous figure.

Somehow, Liu Wu developed an inseparable attachment in his heart, as if the girl was his last bit of attachment to his hometown.

The train had been running for about an hour when the noise in the carriage was suddenly interrupted.

Suddenly, several masked robbers swarmed in. Some threatened with guns and knives, while others began to steal in the carriage!
For a moment, the carriage was filled with terrified screams and cries, and many passengers were robbed or beaten.

Several masked thugs arrogantly surrounded Liu Wu and other young men and tried to steal their belongings.

As a soldier about to join the army, how could Liu Wu allow such a ruthless gangster to do whatever he wanted? He was filled with rage and shouted at the gang of thugs. But they were not willing to let him go easily and started beating him up.

Although Liu Wu had practiced since he was a child, this was the first time he had fought a real fight with someone, and he was a little flustered for a moment.

These people were armed, and Liu Wu suffered a little loss because he was afraid to use his weapons, but he was not completely defeated.

Suddenly, Liu Wu caught a glimpse of the young girl being grabbed by several gangsters and being abducted. She struggled desperately with her hands and feet, but could not escape from the clutches of the criminals.

"Let her go! You guys are going too far!" Liu Wu was immediately enraged and made a prompt decision, determined to protect the girl at the risk of his own life.

Liu Wu was desperate and took several hard blows. He finally knocked down several masked gangsters and rescued the poor girl...

At this time, the carriage was in chaos. Some passengers were fleeing in panic, while some people on the plane stood up and joined Liu Wu in a fierce fight with the group of masked gangsters.

Liu Wu protected the girl behind him. The other party was holding a weapon while he was unarmed, so he was indeed at a disadvantage in defense.

But Liu Wu has received combat training since he was young, and he treats it as a part of his life to improve his skills.

So, taking advantage of the fact that the criminals were caught off guard, Liu Wu took the initiative and struck them by surprise, knocking several of them to the ground.

Turning around to protect the girl behind him, Liu Wu reminded her to get out of the way quickly.

Unexpectedly, the gang's methods of committing crimes were quite brutal, and the others immediately came together to surround Liu Wu.

Several burly men joined the battle, and the situation became stalemate for a while.

Liu Wu had to cheer himself up and deal with them, hoping that the girl could escape and seek help in time.

Just as Liu Wu was gasping for breath and gradually losing his strength, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from behind him.

Oh, it turns out that the girl did not just leave. On the contrary, she was fighting side by side with Liu Wu, holding the passengers' belongings.

Liu Wu knew that this was very dangerous, but seeing how brave and courageous she was, he suddenly felt an unprecedented admiration in his heart.

The more you look at this girl, the more impressive she becomes. It is rare to find such a smart and brave woman.

Just like that, with the joint efforts of Liu Wu and these passionate young people, the group of masked gangsters was finally defeated and forced to flee on the ground.

There was a cheer in the carriage. Everyone surrounded Liu Wu and praised us flatteringly for standing up and being brave and fearless.

Liu Wu looked around. The girl whom he admired so much was now as graceful as a jade tree and extremely pretty.

Her hands were empty and her pretty face looked disheveled, but she still maintained her vitality and spirit.

Liu Wu hurried forward, took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her.

She smiled slightly and nodded at Liu Wu, looking like a lady.

Watching her twisting the hair out of her bun, Liu Wu was already impressed by her polite behavior.

When the chaos in the carriage finally calmed down, several railway police officers immediately rushed over and took away the gang of hooligans.

Seeing that the crowd outside had dispersed, I finally plucked up the courage and walked towards the girl with a shaky step.

"Comrade, are you okay?" Liu Wu looked at her with lingering fear, but was amazed by her bright eyes and white teeth, and was speechless for a moment.

"Thank you for saving me, I'm fine. But you, I see you've been hit by several punches, do you want me to wipe it off for you?" She looked at Liu Wu with a gentle gaze, and then chuckled, like the apricot blossoms blooming in spring, bringing bursts of fragrance to my heart!

"I don't know what to call you either."

"My name is Liu Wu, a cadet who is about to join the army."

Then the two of them looked at each other, and saw a heartfelt approval and admiration in each other's eyes.

From childhood to adulthood, Liu Wu had never had such close contact with any woman other than his family, and he felt a little uneasy.

She noticed Liu Wu's embarrassment and winked at him, "Just call me Qin Xiaoyu."

Liu Wu calmed himself down and looked at her pretty face again. His heart, which yearned for the passionate military life, added a touch of indifferent and distant tenderness to her.

"Since we have reached the age where we can enjoy the coolness of the sun, why don't we call each other in a more intimate way...sister?" Before Liu Wu finished speaking, he could not help but notice that Qin Xiaoyu's pretty face had turned red!
In this way, Liu Wu and this ordinary girl, whom he had never met before, inexplicably formed a wonderful relationship.

Aren’t there always some earth-shaking events in this world that are caused by accidental encounters but are led by some kind of fate?
Just like Liu Wu and Qin Xiaoyu, two strangers who had no connection with each other, but in an unexpected train rescue operation, the chain of fate tied them together closely!

At dusk, Liu Wu and Qin Xiaoyu finally arrived at their destination in the fiery afterglow.

Bidding farewell to the train that allowed them to fight side by side, Liu Wu could not help but sigh once again at the trick of fate that allowed two completely different people to meet and know each other in an accident.

After leaving the station, they all fell into a brief silence.

The long journey had exhausted them, and at this moment they could not help but feel a little melancholy about parting.

"Um...Student Liu, you must be careful about getting injured." Qin Xiaoyu still reminded Liu Wu when she saw that he had a bruised nose and swollen eyes, but she could not hide the confusion in her eyes.

"Goodbye, Sister Xiaoyu. We'll keep in touch when we have time." Liu Wu hesitated for a moment and finally spoke, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

After saying goodbye to Qin Xiaoyu, the train rescue process led to a fantastic encounter with Liu Wu.

……

"The song of the times sings out our ideals,

We grow up in the boiling life, and we must master modern skills.
Work hard to build a strong national defense.

Today is the new pine tree nurtured by the campus,

Tomorrow they will be the backbone of the people's army.

We are full of vigor and vigor,
Run forward with confidence, run forward! "

The center of the Army School is a very large playground, with 9 dormitory buildings symmetrically arranged around it. The dormitory buildings have four floors in total. The top floor is a large classroom and there is also a large terrace.

There are two squadrons in the east and west of each building.

Liu Wu is in the second squadron of the first team, located in the first building in the northwest corner of the playground.

Each squadron has 4 district teams, each district team has 3 classes, each class has 12 people, a total of 144 people.

After entering the dormitory gate and turning left, on the south side are Classes 1 to 1 of Zone 3 Team. Each class has 6 bunk beds. In the middle of the dormitory is a bedside table which also serves as a desk, which can be used for storing clothes and studying.

北侧是2区队4一6班。二层相对应的分别是3、4区队。

Liu Wu found that there were significant differences between students in military academies and local colleges in terms of study, life, and schedule.

In the first half of the day, you have morning exercises, breakfast, classes, breaktime, and lunch; in the second half of the day, you have to queue up when entering and leaving classes, breaktime, and dinner.

Each department has its own canteen for dining.

One afternoon, Liu Wu and his team from the Second Squadron lined up to go to the cafeteria for lunch after the afternoon class.

Four columns entered in order, and when they reached the hall, there were few people.

There were only two food stations for more than a hundred people, and the buns were placed in large iron basins on the floor of the restaurant.

The students rushed forward and lowered their heads to get the food. Before they knew it, a military cap flew into the bowl full of buns.

"Oh, whose hat is that?" a classmate in the crowd asked in surprise.

At this time, a black dot was shaking in the crowd. Wasn’t that Zhang Yuan’s head?

The hat was definitely his.

Everyone burst into laughter.

The military cap was hung on the windowsill of the restaurant because it was covered with grease.

The students’ appetite for the day was greatly reduced as a result.

It is said that the number of buns in the cafeteria that day was much less than usual.

The nickname "Hat Brother" quickly spread throughout the team.

Liu Wu's instructor Guo Qianxing is a very serious political cadre who is very strict with his students. He is also a top student who graduated from a prestigious university and has a deep cultural background.

On the blackboard in the large classroom of Liu Wu's class, people often wrote limericks on the blackboard and forgot to erase them.

When the squadron called the roll on Sunday, Instructor Guo told them that the blackboard is where teachers give lectures and impart knowledge, and no messing around is allowed!
To this end, he also told the students an anecdote...
