Still worried about your luck? Don't worry, follow me and let you have good luck and prosperity!
The yellowed letter paper, with the temperature of the years, slipped from the envelope, and the familiar handwriting instantly pulled my thoughts back to decades ago, the passionate military years, after being discharged from the army for so many years, I have long been accustomed to the hustle and bustle of the city, but in the dead of night, those youthful memories in green uniforms will always churn in my mind, like old wine, more and more mellow
I almost missed the uniform
Speaking of which, I almost missed the olive green back then, when I was eighteen years old, it was the age of enthusiasm, and my peers in the village had already begun to work in the fields to share the burden for the family, but I had a dream of being a soldier since I was a child, fantasizing that I could be like the hero in the movie, defend the country and make contributions
Reality poured a basin of cold water on me, the family is so poor that it clangs, my parents work all year round, their health is not very good, and there are brothers and sisters to take care of, which round will I go out to "enjoy happiness"? What's more, there are only a few places to join the army, and the son of the village party secretary has been a head taller than me since he was a child, and his body is also strong
Every night, I secretly ran to the threshing floor at the head of the village, practiced running and doing push-ups in front of the moon, dreaming that one day I would be able to wear that glorious military uniform
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and when the news of the conscription came that year, I mustered up the courage to sign up, and when I had a physical examination, I was more nervous than ever, my palms were sweaty, and when the doctor announced that I had passed all the indicators, I was so excited that I almost jumped
The bigger test was still to come, the village party secretary came to my parents and said that his son had been determined to be a soldier since he was a child, and hoped that we could give up the quota, and my parents looked at me in embarrassment, and I knew that they didn't want me to take risks, but I didn't want to give up this opportunity
The picture comes from the Internet
I knelt in front of my parents and begged them to fulfill me, but in the end, my parents were still moved by my determination, and I will never forget the moment I got the enlistment notice, I held the thin piece of paper tightly, and it felt heavier than a thousand pounds
The little stubborn donkey in the repair shop
The days of the recruit company are hard and fulfilling, and the high-intensity training every day has made me, a child who grew up in the countryside, suffer a lot, and I never complain of being tired, because I know that only after experiencing wind and rain can I see the rainbow
At the end of the three-month recruit training, I was assigned to the army repair shop, and I was quite disappointed at the time, I thought I could become a glorious combat hero, but I didn't expect to become a "repairman"
The conditions in the repair room were even more difficult than I expected, the dilapidated greenhouse, the summer was as hot as a steamer, the winter was bitterly cold, all kinds of parts were piled up, and the smell of engine oil filled the air, making people breathless
I am born with a spirit not to admit defeat, since I have chosen a distant place, I only care about the wind and rain, I began to learn from the veterans with an open mind, starting from the most basic tool use, bit by bit to accumulate experience
At that time, I soaked in the repair shop every day, dismantling, assembling, debugging, forgetting to sleep and eating, my hands were blistered with blood, and my clothes were always stained with oil, but my heart was full of joy
Because I found that I had a strong interest in machinery and gradually mastered some repair skills, I was filled with a sense of accomplishment when I saw those "steel monsters" "come back to life" in my hands

My career as a "repairman" took a turn for the worse because of an unexpected "refusal......
A loss may turn out to be a gain
One day, I was repairing an armored car, covered in oil and sweating, when suddenly, a guard hurriedly ran over and said that the chief wanted to see me
I chuckled and thought to myself, I hadn't made any mistakes lately, had I? With trepidation, I followed the guard to the chief's office
The chief was amiable, and after asking about my family situation and performance in the army, he suddenly said: "Xiao Liu, I see that you are down-to-earth and hardworking, what do you think of wanting to transfer you to be my guard?"
I was stunned for a moment, the guard is a "fragrant bait", not only can I get close to the chief, but I can also learn a lot of things, but I can't put down the pile of "treasures" in the repair station in my heart
"Chief, I'...... I still want to stay in the repair shop, I feel like I can learn more," I plucked up the courage to speak my mind
After listening to my answer, the chief was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's a good thing that young people have ideas, since you like repair work, then work hard and strive to become a technical backbone as soon as possible."

After returning to the repair shop, I told my comrade-in-arms Lao Wang about it, and after listening to it, Lao Wang shook his head: "You kid, what a stubborn donkey!" It's not appropriate to keep a good guard, you have to nest in this repair shop."
I smiled and didn't speak, I knew that everyone has their own choices, and my dream is to become an excellent "steel doctor" to protect the health of these steel horses
What I didn't expect was that it was this "rejection" that made my life trajectory change unexpectedly......
The comradeship is deep and unforgettable
Although the days in the repair shop were hard, I lived a very fulfilling life, and I also met a group of like-minded comrades-in-arms, among them, Zhang Dayong and I had the best relationship
Zhang Dayong is a cheerful and helpful Northeast man, we trained together, studied together, and "tinkered" with those steel parts in the repair shop, and formed a deep friendship
One day, Zhang Dayong suddenly came to me, looking depressed and wanted to speak, I asked with concern, and he told me that his sister was suddenly seriously ill and needed a large amount of money for surgery, but the family really couldn't come up with that much money
I didn't say a word, I took out all the allowance I had saved, and mobilized other comrades-in-arms to donate together, although we didn't have much allowance every month, but everyone was very generous, you one hundred, I fifty, and soon got together the money for Zhang Dayong's sister's treatment

Zhang Dayong was moved to tears, held my hand tightly and said, "Brother, I will never forget this friendship for the rest of my life!"
I patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "They are all comrades-in-arms, why are you talking these things that are not going to be seen?" You can take care of your sister with peace of mind, and I'll talk about other things when I come back."
In the big family of the army, we fought side by side, helped each other, grew together, and formed a friendship that is more precious than gold
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared
As time went by, I became more and more skilled in the repair shop, and I became the backbone of the workshop
One day, a new piece of equipment came to the repair shop, this equipment is advanced in technology, complicated to operate, no one can use it, the chief sent several groups of people to study, but because the difficulty is too great, it is useless
I took the initiative to ask for help, determined to overcome this problem, I consulted veterans during the day, consulted information at night, studied without sleep and food, and finally figured out how to operate this new equipment
As I skillfully operated the new equipment and "diagnosed" the chariots, the chief smiled with satisfaction
The picture comes from the Internet
"Xiao Liu, you did a great job! When you were asked to be a security guard, I wanted you to take a shortcut, but you chose to be down-to-earth, and now it seems that you made the right choice," the chief said earnestly
I listened, my heart was both excited and grateful, I know that opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and only by constantly learning and improving their abilities can they go further and more steadily on the road of life
Later, I was promoted to technical supervisor, leading my comrades-in-arms in the repair shop and contributing to the construction of the unit
After being discharged from the army for many years, whenever I think of this military career, my heart is full of pride and emotion. It was a comrade-in-arms who made me feel the most sincere friendship in the world
This experience also made me understand a truth: there is no shortcut in life, only by being down-to-earth can you walk out of a wonderful road of your own
