Chapter 249: The Farm
When Zhong Yuemin and his entourage arrived at the farm, the sky was already numb.
Standing on the carriage, Zhong Yuemin saw rows of huge thatched huts among the rubber trees, like a crouching tiger.
The truck stopped in front of a brick house, and 100 electric lights under the eaves illuminated the open space in front of the door.
At least one class of people was waiting at the door, and Ren Qiang was warmly welcomed as soon as he got out of the car.
"Comrade Ren Qiang, welcome!" The first officer grabbed Ren Qiang's hand tightly with both hands, "We are really looking forward to it!"
"Battalion Commander Fang, it's not me you're waiting for, it's a cart full of supplies. Ren Qiang is obviously an acquaintance with the other party, and he jokes without recognizing it at all.
Camp Commander Fang laughed, "Wait, wait!"
"That won't keep you waiting, this is a list, you can sign for it. Ren Qiang handed the document to the other party.
Battalion Commander Fang took the documents, finished swiping and signing, and waved his hand to the soldiers behind him, "Unload the goods and put them in storage." ”
At the command of the order, the soldiers enthusiastically boarded the car to unload.
"Company Commander Ren, there is a supper in the canteen, you have worked hard all night, hurry up and have a good meal. Battalion Commander Fang turned his head and said politely to Ren Qiang.
"The beef fried rice in your canteen is a must, I don't know if there is one tonight?" Ren Qiang did not shirk, such an official reception should have been.
"I knew that you were so good, I specially asked the kitchen to prepare it today, just waiting for you to go!" Camp Commander Fang said with a smile.
Zhong Yuemin and the four of them also got out of the car at this time, stood aside, and waited for Ren Yuan to finish chatting with the other party.
Ren Qiang's eyes swept over them, pointed at Zhong Yuemin and said, "This is my buddy in Beijing, they came to visit relatives, and they were brought by me on the way, you can entertain them!"
"Come to our army to visit relatives, they are all our relatives, even if you don't say it, I will treat you well!" Battalion Commander Fang was very generous, and agreed to it, "Who are you here to visit?"
"Educated youth from Beijing, He Xiuxiu. Zhong Yuemin replied.
Camp Commander Fang, who had always been cheerful, had a sad look on his face, "Are you from her family?"
"She's my sister. He Dayong stood up, "Chief, where is my sister?"
"It's too late today, tomorrow, tomorrow will definitely let you see your sister. Battalion Commander Fang replied.
He Dayong felt that something was wrong, and asked, "What's wrong with my sister? Why don't you let me see her?"
"Your sister is fine now. Camp Commander Fang patiently explained: "The educated youths all sleep in the Chase room, and there is a curfew at night, so you can't be rashly let over." I'll be able to see your sister tomorrow morning. ”
"······" He Dayong still wanted to argue, but Zhong Yuemin stopped him, "Dayong, it's really late now, you don't have to embarrass the battalion commander, tomorrow will be the same." ”
"Yes, it's all the same!" Battalion Commander Fang glanced at Zhong Yuemin with some gratitude, "You guys have been running all the way, you should be hungry, hurry up and follow Company Commander Ren and them to eat, they all have big stomachs, if you go late, you won't have anything to eat!"
"Haha, compared to eating, a few of us really haven't been afraid of anyone!" Zhong Yuemin said with a smile.
"Hey, I really underestimate you!" "Camp Commander Fang saw that they were no longer entangled in the matter of seeing Ren Xiuxiu, and his expression was obviously relaxed, "Xiao Zhao, you take them to the canteen, tell the canteen master that the supply is open tonight, and report to me how much they have eaten tomorrow morning." ”
The soldier whose name was called thought it was a bit of a joke, "This ······"
"Do you understand?" Camp Commander Fang saw his hesitant face and asked loudly.
"Understood!" Xiao Zhao replied loudly with his feet together.
Then he said to Zhong Yuemin and others: "Please come with me a few comrades." ”
······
"Little hands eat more, if you have a fever for so long, your body must be a little weak, eat more of this beef rice to make up for it!" Zhong Yuemin persuaded his little hands to eat more while stuffing rice into his mouth.
Li Kuiyong and He Dayong didn't need to be persuaded at all, one of them carried a big sea bowl, kept picking up rice in his mouth, and ate his mouth full of oil.
"The rice was a little hard, and my mouth was a little dry when I had a fever before. The speed of eating with the little hands is actually not slow, and he took the time to answer Zhong Yuemin.
Zhong Yuemin said to the master next to him, who was already looking stupid: "Master, please bring me a bowl of soup, just eat dry rice, I can't swallow it anymore." ”
"Yes, yes. There's mushroom soup in the pot, I'll serve it to you. Only then did the master come back to his senses, "Do you have enough?" Do you want to make another pot for you?"
"Just seven minutes full. Li Kui wiped the oil on his mouth, "Dayong, what about you?"
He Dayong shaved his teeth and stuck the cow tendons, "Six points full, according to this basin and half a basin, it's almost enough." ”
The jaws dropped in shock as the other soldiers of the automobile company who were eating in the cafeteria, each of them carrying an enamel jar, which was already a big stomach compared to ordinary people.
And the aluminum basin on Zhong Yuemin's table for four people is almost the size of the entire square table, full of piles of sharp fried rice, which has been eaten by the four of them, and they are not full yet!
"Mushroom soup is here!" The master brought a soup bucket and was about to use a spoon to fill a bowl for each of them, but was stopped by Li Kuiyong.
He picked up the bucket and poured the soup directly into the aluminum basin on the table, ready to start drinking it to his mouth.
Zhong Yuemin was in a hurry, pressed the basin, and scolded with a smile: "It's a pleasure for you to drink like this, let us drink your footwater?"
"I didn't want you to drink it!" Li Kuiyong picked up the aluminum basin and poured it into his mouth, and it didn't take much effort to drink all the soup in the basin into his stomach.
Everyone looked at Li Kuiyong's belly, and they couldn't imagine why so much rice and soup went in, and why the belly didn't get bigger.
"Yuemin, your friend is really not an ordinary person!" Ren Qiang sat down next to Zhong Yuemin at some point, and said with emotion on his face.
"They're all in the second shift. Zhong Yuemin replied nonsensically, and Ren Qiang was confused, "What do you mean?"
Without answering Ren Qiang's question, Zhong Yuemin grabbed He Dayong, who wanted to emulate Li Kuiyong, "Let you drink it all again!"
He Dayong let go of his hand stupidly and waited for Zhong Yuemin to share a bowl with him.
"Little hands, you also drink a bowl, sweat so much, replenish water and salt. Zhong Yuemin also put a bowl into the small hand bowl.
"Thank you, Brother Yuemin. Xiaoshou thanked happily, "Master, when is the fried rice ready?" I'm still a little hungry. ”
"Still hungry?" the cafeteria master was a little incredulous, he watched Xiaoshou eat a whole five bowls of rice, if someone told him that Xiaoshou could eat so much with such a small physique, he would definitely think that others were talking nonsense.
Zhong Yuemin saw that the master was stunned and shouted, "Master, where is the fried rice, we are still hungry!"
"Come now, come right away!" The master turned his head and shouted to the back kitchen: "Who's that, move quickly, don't starve the comrades from Beijing!"
"Alas, here it is!" another large basin was served, only a little less than the first.
"I've never eaten so much rice before, it's so enjoyable!" Li Kuiyong suddenly sighed as he ate.
The canteen master smiled: "We don't have much else here, there must be enough rice, you can eat as much as you can!"
A few people were so polite, one took a shovel and dug into his bowl with all his might.
The onlookers sighed that the people in the capital did not seem to have a good time, and these people looked like they had never eaten enough since they were born.
Sweeping away the inventory in the cafeteria, the four of them held their stomachs and moved step by step to the dormitory arranged for them, and lay down to sleep with difficulty, and said nothing that night.
······
The next morning, when a few people woke up, the sky had cleared, and the sun was three strokes.
Ren Qiang and the car company had already turned around, leaving only Zhong Yuemin and others in the dormitory.
"Yuemin, there is no one, where has this person gone?" He Dayong wondered after checking the empty dormitory.
Li Kuiyong interjected: "It doesn't matter where he goes, let's go to the cafeteria to get some breakfast first, and then go back to find the battalion commander!"
"I haven't digested what I ate last night, still eating?" He Dayong couldn't help but complain.
"I barely ate enough last night, but I'm still far from exhausting!" Li Kuiyong said.
"If you want to eat, I'm going to find my sister!" He Dayong disagreed, and asked Zhong Yuemin for help: "You said yes, Yuemin?"
"It's useless for you to find Yuemin!" Li Kuiyong said: "There is no one in other places, and the canteen must not be empty!
"Alas?" He Dayong thought, "Why didn't I think of it?"
"You call it care, let's go, let's go quickly, find someone to inquire!" Zhong Yuemin said.
······
As soon as the four of them entered the cafeteria, they attracted the attention of all the employees. After all, they are already the top names of the capital, and their reputations have different repercussions.
"Coming for breakfast?" the master of the cafeteria greeted happily, "There is still porridge boiling in the pot, and there are also small pickles fried in meat oil, so I will serve you a pot?"
The master told them that they were all basins, and it seemed that they were really taking their stomach orally.
"Okay, let's have a pot!" Before the others could speak, Little Hand raised his hand excitedly and shouted.
When they picked it up, several people stared at themselves, and their little hands said embarrassedly, "I'm hungry." ”
"If you're hungry, you have to eat, you are all half-sized young men, you are easy to get hungry, you wait, I'll serve it to you right away!" the master was very happy, and said with a smile.
When the master left, He Dayong complained: "Didn't you say that you would come and ask someone? Why did you still eat?"
"My little hands are weak, and I had a fever yesterday, so I really should drink some porridge. Zhong Yuemin said in solidarity.
Li Kuiyong also said: "Asking questions is asking questions, you can't skip eating, right?"
As he spoke, he sat on a stool, knocking on chopsticks and waiting for the porridge to come.
Zhong Yuemin and Xiaoshou also sat down, He Dayong was reluctant to sit, and was pulled down by Zhong Yuemin. "Don't worry, we'll know where your sister is. ”
He Dayong sat down a little reluctantly, "When will it be?"
"Right now. Zhong Yuemin said softly, immediately turned his head to look at the master who came over with the basin, and asked with a smile: "Master, has Camp Commander Fang come to drink porridge in the morning?"
"Drink, come early in the morning, drink and leave!" said the master as he put down the basin, "You drink this pot of porridge first, and I will add it to you if it is not enough." ”
"Okay!" said the little hand smiled.
The master looked at him and smiled: "Drink more, drink more, specially cook some more, it will definitely be enough for you to drink!"
"Master, where did Camp Commander Fang go today?" Zhong Yuemin suddenly asked.
"I've gone to the back mountain...... "The master who was still looking at the little hand and smiling blurted out, and suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Hey, why are you asking this?"
"Nothing, just ask. Zhong Yuemin dealt with it casually, picked up the porridge and drank it, "This porridge is really good, I have never drunk such a delicious porridge in Beijing!"
"Haha······ It's an exaggeration, how can there be no one better than my porridge in the place where *** is staying?"
"It's true that there are good people who cook porridge, but that's because you didn't go, right?" Li Kuiyong said with a smile: "If you go to Beijing, there will be nothing to do with those people!"
"Really?" the canteen master will be skeptical, but he is extremely willing to be true.
Zhong Yuemin said: "It's true! We are all good comrades, we must not lie to you, right?"
"Then how can I go to Beijing?" asked the master again.
"Then I don't know, it's still up to you to actively pursue improvement, in other words, it's mainly up to you. Zhong Yuemin is talking nonsense in a serious way.
"On my own?" the master began to think about life, touching his head and walking aside.
Li Kuiyong and Xiaoshou next to him were holding back a smile, Zhong Yuemin said a lot of nonsense, which was actually extremely correct nonsense, but he fooled the master and was lame.
He Dayong said curiously: "Yuemin, what do you mean by what you said to the canteen master? Why didn't I understand it after listening to it for a long time?"
"It's not interesting, it's not interesting at all!" Zhong Yuemin replied.
"What does it mean?" He Dayong was still a little confused.
"Why are you being coaxed by Yuemin's mouth!" Li Kuiyong interrupted He Dayong, and then said to Zhong Yuemin: "You have the best porridge, I heard it when I was in Jingbian, can't you change it to something fresh?"
"You can't blame me for this, who made me meet the canteen master every time?" Zhong Yuemin was a little helpless, "Have you finished eating? ”
"Where are you going?" asked He Dayong.
"Of course, I'll go to the back mountain to find your sister!" Li Kuiyong looked at He Dayong like an idiot.
He Dayong felt a little humiliated, so he looked at his little hand, "You also know that my sister is in the back mountain?"
"Yes. Little Hand nodded.
"Why do you all know, but I don't know it alone?" He Dayong was very depressed.
······
When Zhong Yuemin and the others crossed the hillside behind the farm dormitory, they saw that the rolling hills as far as the eye could see were full of red flags, and there were people working everywhere.
"So everyone is here!" Li Kuiyong sighed.
"There are so many people here, which one is my sister?" He Dayong was also a little worried.
