On this day, Chen Hansheng was writing a letter to his family in the class, when Instructor Wang and a bearded officer suddenly came in. Chen Hansheng knew this chief, but he didn't know what his surname was or what kind of official he was. Because of this chief, he often comes to the maintenance class to have a look. The maintenance squad is next to the service company. When Chen Hansheng is fine, he occasionally goes there for a walk.

Instructor Wang said to Chen Hansheng, "Chief Chen wants to meet you and ask you about the situation!"

Chen Hansheng looked at Chief Chen a little strangely. Chen Hansheng, who is in love with theatrical performances, wonders how he will be interested in a unit chief in charge of maintenance work.

Chief Chen asked loudly, "Chen Hansheng! I heard that before you joined the army, what factory did you stay in?"

"Yes!" Chen Hansheng said.

Chief Chen then asked, "I heard that you are still a small furnace maker, can you knock and beat, and can also make a blending oil furnace?"

"Yes. Chen Hansheng said truthfully.

"Then you can show me one!" said Chief Chen not without hints.

Chen Hansheng looked at Instructor Wang, and Instructor Wang said, "Then you will show your hand to Chief Chen!"

Chen Hansheng listened to Instructor Wang's words, but he was not very interested in it, because all his current interests were in being a good literary soldier, and he was almost not interested in other things. If it weren't for Instructor Wang's instigation, he might have resigned in person.

Making a blending oil furnace and knocking white iron is a new skill that Chen Hansheng learned in the factory, even his master is not as good as him. A Shanghainese made one here and brought it to Shanghai. When he was hungry, Chen Hansheng's master often used the oil oven to cook sweet potatoes to eat.

Chen Hansheng followed Chief Chen to the maintenance class.

In the maintenance class, there are iron sheets, as well as mechanical equipment such as lathes and drilling machines, and a lot of small tools.

Chen Hansheng skillfully picked up the iron sheet scissors, and after cutting the iron sheet, he began to beat. His skillful movements and skillful techniques not only surprised the soldiers in the maintenance class, but also made Chief Chen have a very good impression of him. Because of the lack of tools to beat white iron and make cylinders, Chen Hansheng improvised a way, and even borrowed other tools instead. Chen Hansheng's every move not only makes people feel that he is a mature part-time worker, but also has a temporary mind and sense of innovation.

It only took half a day for Chen Hansheng to make a brand-new oil furnace, and test firing it on the spot, a pure blue fire of oxidation, and soon boiled a pot of water.

Chief Chen said happily, "You're really a talent! What else would you do?"

Chen Hansheng said truthfully, "In addition to knocking white iron, I can also make copper, aluminum, and silverware, and I can also repair some things, I have learned all the drillers and turners, and I can also make some fitters." ”

"Okay!" Chief Chen said not without hints, "I'll take this kerosene stove back and test it, and I'll think about other things!"

Chen Hansheng only felt that he had completed a task that he didn't want to complete, and he didn't think much about it, let alone that there was some kind of meaning in Chief Chen's words.

On the contrary, those who heard Chief Chen's statement soon spread news in private, saying that Chen Hansheng might be transferred to the 485 maintenance class! If he is transferred to the maintenance class, he will no longer be an ordinary soldier, but a technical soldier! If he becomes a technical soldier, first, he has great hope of being promoted to work, and second, if he cannot do it, he can also be turned into a volunteer soldier and stay in the army for a long time!

Although Chen Hansheng heard these discussions, he didn't care at all, because his current idea was to be a good literary soldier!

When he saw Chief Chen again, Chen Hansheng just regarded him as an acquaintance and nodded, and the Chief Chen just smiled meaningfully at him, and didn't say a word about him. It can be seen that Chief Chen has given him a chance for this kind of thing, and this opportunity has not passed, so it depends on whether he takes the initiative.

Chen Hansheng, who only wants to be a good literary soldier, doesn't think about this at all.

Chen Hansheng himself was not in a hurry, but let others worry about him, and some fellow villagers even instigated him to go to Instructor Wang to tell him what he really thought, of course, to speak better, to contribute his own strength to the revolutionary work, and to shine. If Instructor Wang agrees, discuss it with Chief Chen, and this matter will be done nine times out of ten!

Chen Hansheng said, "I'm not interested in this, I just want to be a good literary soldier!"

Some people said, "You are so stupid! After all, the propaganda team is a temporary organization, and it is not a long-term solution because it is scattered and dispersed, and there is no formal establishment. If you do a good job, it will be rare to be a veteran volunteer for 10 or 8 years in the maintenance class, not to mention that you will be able to do it in the maintenance class!"

Chen Hansheng shook his head and said, "I don't want to develop in this area. ”

Those who wanted to counsel him had nothing to say and had to give up further persuasion.

Soon, there was a grapevine that the maintenance class was going to recruit recruits with special skills.

In addition to the agency, the 485 maintenance unit is the best subordinate unit. The entire maintenance unit, in fact, is based on the maintenance class. If you can enter the maintenance class, you can not only learn more skills, but also hope to improve, and you can also take turns to stand guard 24 hours a day.

Many people are secretly looking for the news.

Chen Hansheng didn't take this seriously at all, all his thoughts were not on this, but on the violin and theatrical performances. The successful performance of that cross talk not only made him have a strong interest in cross talk, but also a very strong interest in creation.

In order to strengthen his study in this area, Chen Hansheng began to pay attention to some literary and artistic magazines of the army, and hoped to learn some creative knowledge from them.

Hearing that theatrical creation is very urgent, Chen Hansheng tried to create theatrical again.

Chen Hansheng, who is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, actually used his imagination to create a script for a nine-scene drama "Datian Village"!

He sent the script to a military magazine, but it was quickly returned.

Chen Hansheng also knew that his creation could not succeed, he just wanted to hear an opinion. However, the magazine did not say anything, but simply returned the manuscript.

The indifferent attitude of retreating from people suddenly stimulated Chen Hansheng's competitiveness. He immediately sent the nine-scene script to his parents' county troupe. Because he didn't know who the playwright of the county troupe was, but he wrote on the envelope that the head of the county troupe received it.

What Chen Hansheng never expected was that in less than ten days, he received an enthusiastic reply from a teacher surnamed Hua from the county troupe.

In the letter, Mr. Hua affirmed his creative enthusiasm and boldness, and then pointed out that his nine-scene drama was influenced by the creative ideas of the model play "Shajiabin", although the storyline is very different, but the ideas in it are the same.

The letter is the best, and Mr. Hua also encouraged him to continue to create, and was willing to encourage him. Mr. Hua's enthusiastic affirmation, enthusiastic encouragement, and the kind of condescension and encouragement that moved him gave Chen Hansheng a very strong spiritual comfort and encouragement, and he decided to work further on some foundations.

Chen Hansheng's inactive, even indifferent attitude, quickly made that Chief Chen give up some considerations.

Soon, a new recruit was added to the maintenance squad, and this recruit was also transferred from the service company, a recruit who had only worked at home for a few days.

When I saw Chen Hansheng again, Chief Chen smiled and said to him, "I'm sorry! I really wanted to transfer you to the maintenance class, but later I heard Dr. Wang say that you are really a talent for performing, so I had to endure the pain and cut my love!"

After hearing this, Chen Hansheng smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness! ”

Chen Hansheng smiled, and the sentence that did not have this consideration in the first place made that Chief Chen suddenly angry, and he even felt that this rookie not only did not understand the rules, but was also so arrogant. How many people dream of coming to the maintenance class, but he still doesn't want to come?
