Entertaining Children

  Chapter 449 Military training ends

   "Well said!" The head of the group who had been sitting on the side without speaking suddenly said.

  When Zhao Lanying said that he could give Xiao Yao the rank of Captain or Major, the expressions on the faces of the regiment commander and political commissar were not very good. In the hearts of regular soldiers like them, they don’t like to get high ranks through artistic performances, but this is a system, and they can’t oppose it, that is, after Xiao Yao explicitly rejected them, their expressions It's getting better.

  Actually, when it was learned that Xiao Yao did not use any sneak attacks and that he injured Lei Tianxing in a face-to-face duel, the regiment leader and political commissar admired Xiao Yao's skill. Of course, the group leader and political commissar naturally did not believe what Xiao Yao said that he took the initiative to challenge the instructor because his opponent was too weak. They also conducted further investigations last night. From the information conveyed by Xiao Yao’s last sentence, almost everyone at the scene knew that the real reason for Xiao Yao’s move was to relieve Lin Qisan, and it was not difficult for the two leaders to understand Xiao Yao. The reason why Haruka really shot.

  Soldiers value the love between their comrades in arms. Xiao Yao's character who dared to stand up for his brothers naturally attracted the love of the two leaders. Yesterday, I wrote ten songs for the regiment to choose to perform. Today, I refused the direct naturalization offer and gave out ten songs for free at the same time. As a tribute to the soldiers, the two leaders are right now. Xiao Yao can be said to be overwhelmed with goodwill, and can't help but applaud Xiao Yao.

"Xiao Yao, Comrade Lan Ying introduced to us just now, saying that you can not only write songs, but also an excellent arranger and music producer. She is also familiar with various musical instruments. She suggested to us that since you are singing For the song you wrote, why don’t you just ask you to guide our group’s performance during the performance.” Political Commissar Xie said with a smile, “I don’t know if you would like to contribute more to our regiment?”

  "How to arrange the rehearsal time? Will it affect the training?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Of course it will not affect the training." Political commissar Xie said immediately, "The rehearsal time is from 8 to 9:30 in the evening, and there are five days left for the performance next Tuesday. During this time, you can ignore the emergency assembly at night. "

  "Can you raise the conditions?" Xiao Yao said. Xiao Yao naturally has no comments on guiding the chorus. It's just that he originally thought he could take the opportunity to be lazy and not train, but he didn't expect the rehearsal time to be at night. That was taking up his own rest time, and Xiao Yao wanted to make a profit.

   "Provisions? Tell me about it." Political Commissar Xie asked with a smile.

  Neither the head of the delegation nor the political commissar Xie was angry about Xiao Yao's way of raising conditions. After yesterday's request for Xiao Yao to sing live was rejected, both of them had already seen Xiao Yao's personality. From the bottom of their hearts, the two of them actually liked Xiao Yao's personality.

"I think there are too few live ammunition courses in our military training. Can you add a few live ammunition courses to us?" Xiao Yao tentatively asked, "Boys, who love firearms by nature, can we let us pass more times? addiction?"

"Military training courses are arranged in advance and cannot be changed randomly." The head shook his head. "And you are not alone in military training. Even if other boys like to play guns, they have never done anything. There are also women. Students, they don’t necessarily like shooting courses, and you can’t influence the entire military training course just because of your personal preference."

"But for your personal requirements, I can meet them." Just when Xiao Yao wanted to express his dissatisfaction, the team leader has continued, "I will tell the people in the shooting range that you can go in for shooting training at any time, and there is no limit to the number of bullets. , The premise is that the normal military training and chorus rehearsal cannot be affected."

"That is to say, you can go only when you have a rest?" Xiao Yao said, "Excluding meals, the lunch break is only one hour at noon. The rest time between dinner and lights out is longer, but there will be choir rehearsals in the evening. In fact, there is not much time."

"After the performance is over, you naturally don't need to rehearse, but the shooting range is open to you until you leave us at the end of the military training. Is this satisfactory?" The captain laughed, "But you have to abide by the rules. Firearms are not allowed to be taken out of the shooting range. The number of bullets received and the number of shots must be matched. If there is any problem, this discount will be cancelled immediately."

"No problem," Xiao Yao immediately agreed, adding another sentence, "Can I bring one or two classmates with me?" With such a good thing, Xiao Yao would naturally not forget Lin Qisan, and it was Wang Zhi who had suffered himself. One fell over his shoulder, and he still owed him a favor.

   "Of course not, you can only be alone." The head of the group stared, "You don't want to make an inch."

   "Okay." Xiao Yao nodded helplessly, and said to himself in his heart, "Lin Qisan's temperament, maybe he is not interested in shooting at all."

   "I have something else." Xiao Yao said again.

   "Is there anything else?" The head of the group continued to stare at Xiao Yao, "Don't get too far."

"That..." Xiao Yao said cautiously, "I just went into the cafeteria, and I hadn't eaten dinner yet, so I was found by you. Now I go back to the cafeteria, there must be no food. I wonder if several leaders can solve it? On the first day of the military training, all the students’ food was taken away, and there was no food in the dormitory. I still have training tomorrow, and I can’t stand it without dinner."

   "Uh..." Hearing what Xiao Yao mentioned, the head of the delegation and the political commissar were choked.

"Hi! What about this? Go, I invite you to dinner! I didn't eat it either. You don't charge any money for your songs. I just happened to ask you to have a meal to show my thanks." Zhao Lanying smiled and patted. He patted Xiao Yao's arm, turned his head and asked the delegation leader and political commissar, "Leader, political commissar, let me take him out for a meal. I promise to send him back safely. By the way, you should I haven’t eaten it yet. Or go with me. I’ll treat him.” Zhao Lanying knew that Xiao Yao was not allowed to leave the military camp during military training. If he wanted to take him out, the two top leaders here had to agree. Just work.

"You are our guest when you come to our regiment. Why should you be so embarrassed to ask you to spend a lot of money? We are landlords, so naturally we are the host." Political commissar Xie hurriedly said, "If you don't dislike it, I tell the cooking class to go there now. Stir some dishes. If you want to go to the hotel restaurant outside, it’s okay, but it’s our treat."

   "I don't care, just look at Xiao Yao." Zhao Lanying smiled, "Today he is the protagonist."

   "Okay, listen to Xiao Yao," Political Commissar Xie said, looking at Xiao Yao, "Xiao Yao, tell me."

  "Then trouble the cooking class in the regiment, I have to train tomorrow to avoid running back and forth." Xiao Yao also didn't want to bother to run around.

  After dinner, Zhao Lanying left with satisfaction with those scores. Xiao Yao saw that the time was almost almost eight o'clock, and he started rehearsing for the troop's chorus from that night.

  Because it was the first rehearsal, Political Commissar Xie also personally accompanied Xiao Yao.

  The rehearsal place is the auditorium of the regiment headquarters. Xiao Yao went there directly wearing the training uniform during training. His immature face and blank collar made the musicians and chorus members in the army immediately recognize him as a military training student. Everyone is also wondering why the political commissar brought a military training student here. Could it be that this guy wants to join the choir temporarily and show his face when he comes on stage? The condolences show has live video and will be broadcast on TV.

  As a result, the introduction of the political commissar surprised everyone. This very young student is not only the songwriter, but also the conductor of their rehearsal. Using the professional title of a TV variety show, he is called the music director of a chorus.

  It is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. Since the political commissar has said so, everyone will certainly not disobey orders, but there is still a hint of suspicion in their eyes.

   Xiao Yao saw all these things in his eyes, and didn't say anything wrong. Just before officially starting the rehearsal, Xiao Yao walked up to an electronic piano and sang the song they wanted to perform. The skilled instrument performance skills and the vigorous singing voice immediately convinced the soldiers who were not professional musicians.

  The political commissar Xie, who was standing on the side, saw Xiao Yao playing such a hand, and immediately shocked these people. After a few simple confession, he left with peace of mind.

  In the next few days, Xiao Yao trained during the day. After lunch and dinner, he sneaked to the shooting range to practice shooting, and at night he went to the troop’s auditorium to rehearse for the chorus. This kind of intensity of life is not too hard for Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao has been practicing martial arts for a long time. His physical strength can withstand the repeated impact of the gun’s recoil when firing continuously. He has good balance and physical stability, and his mental quality and eyesight are not bad. He has practiced for several days. , Xiao Yao is more and more familiar with firearms, and his marksmanship is constantly improving.

Managing the shooting range is actually quite a boring task. The shooting range administrator is very interested in Xiao Yao, a student who let the team leader personally order permission to enter the shooting range at any time for practice. Xiao Yao always takes a break every time he goes, and he is alone. A person. After a few times, the range manager couldn't help but walked to Xiao Yao curiously, and chatted with him while actively guiding him in shooting practice. Xiao Yao also learned a lot of firearms knowledge from the administrator through this opportunity. Not only how to shoot, but also the structure, characteristics, disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of various guns in the shooting range. Xiao Yao also learned a lot from the administrator.

Because only he could go to the shooting range, Xiao Yao had no intention of telling others, but when training every afternoon, the students standing around Xiao Yao could always smell a strong smell of gunpowder from Xiao Yao. After everyone's questioning, Xiao Yao also had to confess his privilege of entering the shooting range to everyone, which naturally attracted the envy and jealous eyes of countless boys. However, despite the envy and jealousy in his heart, no one expressed dissatisfaction with the troops. After all, it was Xiao Yao's exchange of ten songs and the extra hard work of guiding the chorus for several nights. Who would let them not have Xiao Yao's ability?

  On the day of the condolences performance, the art troupe appeared in the army as planned. The performance time is in the afternoon. Because the military training students are currently part of the army, the students also took this opportunity to escape half a day of training and went to watch the whole performance with other teams.

  For other commanders in the army, today’s performance of condolences is very novel. The actors and singers here are not surprising, but in a total of a dozen singing programs, almost half of the songs have not been heard before. Even the chorus song performed by their own choir is the same. So their response was much more enthusiastic than in previous year's condolences.

  However, the military training students have no such doubts. Because of these songs that the other commanders hadn't heard before, they had basically heard Xiao Yao sing when they were pulling songs. What they are interested in is whether Xiao Yao will also go up when the choir of the regiment heads up to sing.

   Political commissar Xie once discussed this issue with Xiao Yao, but Xiao Yao felt that this was a performance by the army, and he was not a real soldier, and the rehearsal went smoothly and the effect was very good. He did not need to show up. Therefore, when the troop choir performed, Xiao Yao did not appear on the stage or in front of the musicians on the side of the stage. Instead, he always sat in the class position like other military training students, and became an audience with peace of mind.

  After the performance of condolences, the students' military training life returned to its original trajectory. With the constant adaptation and the replacement of instructors, the students in the military training life for more than half a month no longer felt as painful as they did when they first arrived. When the military training was about to end, most students still felt a sense of discomfort. The emotion of home.

  Students who learn to perform have more feelings than ordinary students. On the day when the military training ended and left, many girls cried, most of them from the acting department. The boys all hugged and said goodbye to their instructors one by one. Among them, most of them were from the acting department.

  Compared to other boys in the acting department, Xiao Yao seemed very calm. Although he was reluctant to give up, he did not express his emotions too clearly. After all, I have already experienced it once in my previous life, but it was at school that time, and the instructors had left, not their students.

  As he was about to board the car and leave, even the two leaders, the head of the regiment and the political commissar, appeared on the playground to personally see the students off. Before Xiao Yao boarded the car, the two leaders deliberately pulled Xiao Yao aside and talked a few words separately, and let everyone understand the main reason for the emergence of these two big leaders. After all, when they came, they did not see these two. The leader came to meet them.

  Sitting on the bus returning to Shenxi, I don’t know which student started it. Everyone once again sang military songs such as "We Are Soldiers." In this song, the 17th Shen Opera students also officially ended their one-month military training career, returned to the city, and returned to Shen Opera.
