In this way, it took two months to pave the road with cement for 3,000 meters, and there was also a time for heavy rain on the way, so they had to stop work, study cultural classes and local dialects in the troops, and also arrange patrols, but the weather was getting colder and colder, and the instructors were tasked to stop repairing the road for the time being, and let them go to the nearby villagers to check how their homes were doing? Because this place is relatively remote, the villagers here are relatively poor, and some of them have not yet installed electric lights, so the task now is to let them go to comfort these villagers and help them do things.

After receiving this task, the instructor immediately held a meeting with all the recruits, and talked about the situation here, Chang Wansha knew that the villagers of the ethnic minorities here were as poor as the rural areas of his own family, and the instructor said for an hour, and assigned tasks to everyone, except for the recruits who patrolled the road at night There were 40 people, and the troops left 50 people, and the rest of the recruits all went to comfort the villagers here, and there were also patrols at night. The fifty men left behind were to patrol the nearby village at night.

After the division, everyone knew their task, there were 20 recruits patrolling the road during the day, and the instructor drove them there first, and after more than half an hour, the two instructors drove back, and he immediately said loudly: "Comrades, you have been here for a few months, you have learned some local dialects, you try to speak the local dialect with these villagers, if they do not understand, they can speak Mandarin, pay attention to the attitude to be amiable, we are here to help them, to mingle with them, and have a good relationship." We're all one family. ”

All the recruits said yes loudly together, and the instructor immediately said: "We will now drive to the city to fetch food and other daily necessities, and when the time comes, your task is to send them to every household, ask them about the situation at home, and if they need help, if they can help, do it immediately." If you can't help, come back and report to us, and we will help them solve the problem as soon as possible. ”

All the recruits said yes loudly together, the instructor told them to get in the car first, and drove some recruits over, and after a while, several trucks drove the recruits away, and after more than an hour, several trucks stopped, and the instructor opened the door and got off, and the truck box was opened and let these recruits down. After everyone came down, the instructor immediately shouted: "Some of you will go on patrol first, some of you will stay here, and we will go and pull the goods first." "All the recruits shouted yes together.

The instructor and a few veterans drove away, and these recruits began to walk around in groups of ten and began to patrol, leaving twenty recruits standing here, and there were very few people on the street, and you could see that some tent houses were next to those grassy fields, and the roads here were some cement roads, some were dirt roads, and they were not as thick as they wore at night, but they were still colder. Changwansha looked at it while walking, his home was slightly better than here, and there was no such big wind and sand.

There are very few pedestrians walking back and forth on the road here, they should all be at home, the time passed slowly, more than an hour later, the instructor finally drove here, the recruits standing there were immediately very happy, finally had a job to do, they have been standing here and waiting, their hands and feet are very cold, they have to rub their hands and stomp their feet, the instructor they parked the car, immediately got out of the car, and told them, each person holds ten catties of rice, as well as a catty of white paper, five catties of vegetable oil, first sent to each household, a group of two people. Everyone nodded and said yes. The recruits lined up to hold them in their hands, and the two of them left together.

The instructor was stationed here, and a few veterans immediately went to call the new recruits who were patrolling to come over and deliver the food to the villagers. Everyone walked separately, towards those tent houses, there are few brick houses, Chang Wansha and a junior brother came to a tent house together, took a closer look, the top was covered with a layer of adhesive tape, to prevent heavy rain from flowing into the house, tied to the top with a pointed tip, immediately opened his mouth and asked loudly: "Uncle and aunt, are you there?"

After a while, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a lady dressed in ethnic minority clothes came out, waved her hands at them, and said in the local dialect, Changwansha they heard, meaning: Hello two, is there something wrong?

Chang Wansha immediately said loudly: "Auntie, the weather is cold, let's come to see you and send you something." After saying that, he gave her the rice in his hand. Listening to these Mandarins, the eldest lady couldn't react at first, Chang Wansha said it twice, and the eldest lady finally understood. She immediately thanked them in the local dialect and called them in. Chang Wansha and the others nodded and said yes, and walked in together.

Go inside and take a look, the inside is relatively wide, about the width of two rooms, and there is also a kerosene lamp lit during the day, there is an uncle, also wearing the costume of ethnic minorities, with a hat on his head, the aunt immediately said to the uncle in the local dialect, the uncle quickly stood up, thanked them in the local language, and told them to sit quickly, now there is no meal, let them sit on the kang, and the brazier has been lit under the bed, Chang Wansha immediately said loudly:" Uncle and aunt, we came to visit you on behalf of the troops here, the weather is relatively cold, you must pay attention to your body, can you tell me about your situation?"

The uncle and aunt didn't understand, and the junior brother next to him immediately said loudly: "We are the People's Liberation Army from the army, if there are any difficulties, you can say it, let us listen, and we will try to help you." ”

Uncle and aunt still didn't understand, Chang Wansha had to say it twice, uncle and aunt slowly understood, and then they used the local dialect to say, Chang Wansha they tried to listen, uncle and aunt also had to say several times, they could understand, it was a little difficult to communicate, but they were very patient, uncle and aunt slowly spoke for more than an hour, Chang Wansha they listened quietly, about the situation of the family, they have a daughter, already married, also married in this local, the family conditions are average, the uncle's house has not installed electric lights for the time being, usually use money very economically, some of the cattle and sheep fed are taken to sell, in exchange for a little money to buy food。 I rarely eat meat, and I only eat one meal a week or half a month.

The place where they catch the market here is relatively far away, and they drove the carriage by themselves, going back and forth for more than two hours, Chang Wansha they remembered in their hearts, and said loudly in Mandarin: "Uncle and aunt, don't worry, we will come to help you press the electric light when the time comes." Keep this food for yourselves, we have to go to another house, let's go first. ”

After saying Chang Wansha, they immediately stood up, the uncle and aunt hurriedly said thank you in the local language, sent them out, it was raining lightly outside, they immediately took out an umbrella and turned around and left, after the uncle and aunt saw them go away, in the local dialect, good people, really good people. After saying that, he turned around and went back to the tent.

Chang Wansha and the others returned to the instructor, some of them had already returned from sending them back, and they were talking to the instructor about the situation, Chang Wansha immediately reported to the veteran, quickly took the rice, oil and paper, and turned around and walked away with the junior brother just now.
