Chapter 324
"Big man, let's go for a walk." After dinner, Ding Xiaojun said something to the depressed big man, then turned and walked towards the woods behind the barracks.

The big man followed Ding Xiaojun without even thinking about it. Zhang Xueqiang looked at the two people walking out from a distance, and didn't take it seriously.

"Xiao Hei, do you have anything to tell me?" The big man asked Ding Xiaojun who had stopped.

"It's nothing, just thinking that we have never had a good drink, so I want to treat you to a drink today." Ding Xiaojun took out two sealed bags from the grass next to him. Four bamboo tubes for wine, and a roast chicken in another bag, whole, not cut.

"This is not good, we are in the camp." The big man looked back at the barracks with lights in the distance, and said in a low voice: "Drinking in private is a violation of discipline."

"Discipline violation, I have been in the army for five years, and I have never violated discipline. This is not perfect, so I don't think about whether I violated discipline or not. I just want to drink." Ding Xiaojun said, and handed a bamboo tube to Big guy.

"Okay, if you violate the discipline, you will violate the discipline." The big man took the bamboo tube handed over by Ding Xiaojun, pulled off the seal on the wall of the tube, and took a sip directly.

"Good wine." After swallowing a sip, the big man praised it.

Ding Xiaojun didn't say anything, just sat on the ground casually, pulled out the plug, raised it to the big man, and took a sip.

"Cough, cough, cough, such a strong wine, why can't I drink it as well as you can?" Ding Xiaojun coughed and looked at the big man.

"This guy, he doesn't drink too much." The big man said, and sat next to Ding Xiaojun.

"Xiao Hei, how did you choose to be a soldier?" The big man turned sideways, looked at Ding Xiaojun and asked.

"I was forced to come here. You won't believe it when I tell you. Before I joined the army, my dream was to be an inventor. Don't laugh at me. I have worked hard. When I was young, I made a lot of things. Small things." Ding Xiaojun said, and couldn't help thinking of his childhood.

"I guess, what you made should be small toys." The big man looked at Ding Xiaojun and raised the bamboo tube in his hand.

Ding Xiaojun also raised the bamboo tube to touch the big one, then raised his head and drank a big gulp of spirits, before he cracked his mouth: "Yeah, at first they were small toys, but they weren't very simple things. For example, a car driven by electricity, I dismantled Dad’s electric razor at the time, thinking about it now, I was really bold at that time.”

"Did your father fix you badly at that time?" The big man unceremoniously opened the bag containing the roast chicken, tore off a chicken leg, and said while chewing.

"It didn't happen that time, it's just that my father changed the razor to a manual one that changes blades after that, and the only reason I came to the army was because I became a big guy and came out later." Ding Xiaojun continued to himself Take a sip of wine.

"Big guy, how old is it?" The big guy stopped chewing and looked at Ding Xiaojun.

"The plane is not a toy plane, it's the kind that can seat people." Ding Xiaojun looked ahead and said in a very calm tone.

"Come on, let me figure it out. You enlisted in the army at 17 years old, and you were only [-] years old at the time. I don't believe you are an airplane." After the big man finished speaking, he tore off another chicken leg and handed it to the Ding Xiaojun: "Eat some meat and suppress the wine, you will be drunk as soon as you start drinking."

"I know you don't believe it, but I really did it, but the power source is from the motorcycle engine at home." Ding Xiaojun said, and couldn't help thinking of the original scene.

"You prodigal bastard, you're getting more and more troublesome. Why don't you fix it? If you want to fix the plane, you can fix it. Why do you have to dismantle my motorcycle?" Ding Xiaojun once again appeared in front of his father The scene of chasing yourself with a big broom in hand.

The bamboo tube in the big man's hand directly touched the bamboo tube in Ding Xiaojun's hand, bringing Ding Xiaojun's memory back to reality for the first time. Ding Xiaojun looked at the big man, smiled, and raised his head to take a sip of wine.

As soon as he was bored, he immediately grabbed the chicken leg and gnawed a couple of bites, trying to suppress the rising discomfort.

"Big man, why did you become a soldier?" Ding Xiaojun took another bite of the chicken leg and looked at the big man.

"Why, the conditions in our place are poor, the foundation of schooling is not good, and I came to serve as a soldier when I have no way out. I can't be like my parents, who go around the cattle and sheep every day. Our family, from my grandfather's grandfather's place, is herding , When it comes to my generation, I just want to change my way of life and come out to serve as a soldier. My grandfather is still very reluctant, saying that being a soldier can make a lot of money." The big man raised his head and began to drink, sip after sip , and finally finished the barrel of wine.

"I worked hard when I was in the army. I worked very hard to be a good soldier, and I wanted to prove to my grandpa why being a soldier is useless." The big man was a little excited.

Ding Xiaojun took another bamboo tube and handed it over: "Now you have proved that you are very good and have learned a lot of knowledge, isn't it worth it?"

"Maybe, it's just that my grandfather passed away the year I joined the army. Maybe he just wanted me to be by his side to see me more." The big man said, and pulled out the seal on the bamboo tube that Ding Xiaojun handed over. When he came out, he took another big sip of wine.

"Okay, let's not talk about sadness, let's talk about something happy. Xiao Hei, you don't know. I just got out of the car and learned to drive. I almost didn't offend the squad leader who taught me at the time. Before I became a soldier, I have only ridden a big horse, but I don’t have brakes when riding a horse. I remember when I was just learning to ride a car, when I braked at the end, I pulled my hands back and said “Woo”, which scared the monitor at the time. Now that I think about it, it’s funny. As soon as a soldier got into the car, he asked why the steering wheel felt a little loose." After the big man finished speaking, both of them couldn't help laughing.

"The squad leader who teaches you how to drive has to bear a lot of pressure on his heart." Ding Xiaojun said, lifting the bamboo tube. Seeing this, the big man also raised the bamboo tube and touched it.

"I have to ask the squad leader, but I don't have a chance to ask. The squad leader has been discharged from the army for three years, and I don't know how he is doing when he returns to his hometown. I think he should have a good life. I must agree. The squad leader has a photo of A, so it's easy to find a job as a truck driver when you go back." The big man took a sip of his drink as he spoke, and after he was bored, he became depressed again: "I'm going back, I don't know what it will be like , will you ride a big horse again, and there will be a situation ahead, will you have to slam on the horse pedal as a brake again?"
