“You think so too? Then I’ll think about it.” An Jiaxin pretended to be angry and kicked Zhang Bin who was laughing before sitting down. “I’ve thought about it. It’s tough. I’ll think about it later. It’s still early.”
The school’s announcement to participate in military school spurred some of the students’ intent to enter the military school. However, it was just a simple thought. It was not easy to enter a military school.
While Ye Jian and the rest were discussing the military training, Mrs. Tong was sitting in Principal Cao’s office. “I have no problem with it since you’re the one making the arrangements. Ye Jian has a strong self-learning ability and I worry the least about her. I have no objections to her leaving school in the afternoon.”
“Okay, I’ll notify you. Also, Ye Jian’s situation is a bit special. If any teachers or students ask anything when she takes leave, just say that her relative is sick and she went to the hospital to take care of them.” Principal Cao had arranged things carefully. He made sure that Mrs. Tong had no objections and that there won’t be resentment against Ye Jian because of special treatment.
After the end of the first class in the afternoon, Ye Jian found out that she could leave the school in the afternoon, and knew that the commissar had already made arrangements on their end.
“Principal Cao has informed me that you are now preparing for your great ambitions. I’m confident in you and I know you’re a very self-disciplined student. Work hard and I hope to see some good news two years later.”
Mrs. Tong talked to Ye Jian after class in the hallway outside of the classroom. She resembled a green pine. After being informed about her ambitions and preparations, Mrs. Tong finally realized why she exuded a different aura from the others.
It was a soldier’s valiance and might, proud like a green pine and cold like a plum tree. It was not comparable to those students who only thought about having fun.
Ye Ying, however, would not be participating. She was going to participate in an English competition on National Day. As for what she had said to the children of those wealthy families and high officials, it was only just sweet talk.
After learning about it, Mrs. Tong wrote down on her file: She will not be participating in the military training due to physical reasons. Remarks: Congenital heart disease, attached a copy of the hospital diagnosis.
She then photocopied another set for archiving.
After school, Ye Jian carried her school bag and left the school with commuting students. After avoiding the students, she got in a jeep that was waiting for her by the roadside. At 6.30 pm, Ye Jian reached the training ground where she would start her month-long hellish training.
The motorized infantries are specialists. Not only do they have to learn how to drive, but they also have to learn how to repair vehicles too!
Ye Jian spent her first day with a bunch of car parts! How many parts does a car have? It was hundreds of times more than a sniper rifle. She had to know every single screw, every single wire.
A book, a pile of spare parts, some photos, and a soldier was assigned to her. Ye Jian began to study the car parts while Commissar Yan looked at her with smiley eyes.
Ye Jian could stay focused. But once she became focused, she would not be distracted even if a bomb had exploded nearby.
It was just car parts. She could even identify guns and ammunition from various countries. Car parts were not much of a problem for her.
As Commander Liu had said, Ye Jian’s speed of progress scared the soldier who was by her side.
The first day was still okay. When the battalion commander came to test her on the second day, she could identify every single part and where it was installed. Since then, the soldiers were all fearful when they taught Ye Jian to drive.
