We got on the green military truck, watching the village chief and the village gradually fade away, feeling a bit reluctant, after all, we had lived together in this village for more than ten years. I turned around and looked at the people in the truck, all with their heads down, silent.
At this moment, the commander saw the awkward atmosphere and raised his voice, saying, "Comrades, what's wrong? Unhappy? We're not going to war," speaking to us in Sichuan dialect.
"Commander, when are we getting to the army?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Ah, little comrade, don't call me commander, call me Squad Leader Chen. Little comrade, what's your name?"
"Yes, Squad Leader. Squad Leader, my name is Chen Ming."
"Mm, mm, Chen Ming, nice name. Chen Ming, the army is far away, in Sichuan, you'll suffer!"
"Not suffer, not suffer, this little suffering is nothing."
"Squad Leader, what's your name?" Xiaofei asked at this moment.
"I'm Chen He, from Sichuan. Young man, what about you?"
"I'm Zhang Xiaofei!"
"Squad Leader, after we get to the army, you have to take care of me a bit," Xiaofei said with a smile.
"Xiaofei, when we get there, I'll cover for you!" I interjected.
"Ah, Ming-ge, forget it."
"Hey! You brat, asking for a beating, huh!" I wanted to get up. Seeing the others around taking delight in it, Xiaofei was unhappy.
"Squad Leader, Squad Leader, you really need to manage this soldier!"
"You two, really something else, stop arguing, stop arguing," the squad leader said with a smile.
After that, the truck was silent. That night, the vehicle arrived at a small town, we found a restaurant, set up camp and ate, ordered beer and skewers, and during drinking we occasionally played a game of cups. By the end, we were completely drunk and just randomly picked an inn to sleep.
Lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, still full of the smell of alcohol, I said, "Xiaofei, why did you join the army?"
"Ming-ge, of course I joined the army to save the world, what about you?"
"To hell with saving the world, just you, haha. Xiaofei, back in Japan I stole cigarettes from a store, and the police saw me, I ran for it, and even Ultraman couldn't catch me, you think I'm amazing, huh!" I said with a drunken hiccup.
I waited for a long time, and it turned out that the guy had fallen asleep. I got angry and wanted to get up, but tumbled to the ground, dizzy. At this moment, the guy next to me was woken up by the noise, and seeing me, he quickly helped me up, "Ah!"This is sleeping in a messy way! Buddy, are you getting up at night? I'll help you. "Go away, who's getting up at night!" I pushed his hand away and lay back in bed. That guy kept shaking his head—if you need to go to the bathroom, just go! Still caring about face! Hold it in, then! In the blink of an eye, it was daytime, and I was still fast asleep when suddenly someone's phone rang. It sounded like an alarm, and it seemed to have a speaker on—it was extremely loud. "Who is it? Whose phone is that?" Xiaofei next to me said unhappily. At this time, the class monitor shouted in a loud voice: "Get up! Gather and get on the bus!" "Uh… It's the monitor's," Xiaofei said in surprise. Then we hurriedly got dressed and got on the bus. Afterward, we traveled the whole morning and finally arrived in Sichuan, and the troops arrived at the same time. Not long after, we reached the troops. The class monitor pointed and said, "This is the troops."

Why does it feel like the third person has been changed to the first person?

Oh, reading the first chapter feels like it's in the third person, it feels uncomfortable, so I gradually changed it to the first person.
