"Good morning, comrades."

The morning sun was bright, the air was fresh, and a gust of wind blew, and there was a faint salty smell in the humid air, which was due to the fact that the wind was blowing from the other side of the sea. Cheng Yanming was even more full of spring breeze, and he couldn't see how much impact last night's events had on him. It's just that Cheng Zhichao's mood is not very good, because Cheng Yanming had agreed to Gui Yanmei's compensation conditions in front of Gui Yanmei's father and daughter last night, and decided to compensate the family for 900 yuan.

He gave the order to steal the pig, and after the pig was stolen, he also had to eat the meat. But when someone found out, Captain Cheng would definitely not pay a penny for the compensation. Therefore, Captain Cheng, who handled the matter fairly, immediately decided that the money would be shared equally by Cheng Zhichao's group. There are six members in the group, and each person is exactly 150 yuan.

One hundred and fifty dollars is not a lot of money for the rest of the group. In addition to non-commissioned officers and officers, they all receive salaries, and since the salary adjustment, even if it is an ordinary first-class non-commissioned officer, the basic salary plus various subsidies can reach 16,700 yuan per month. As for a captain-level figure like Lu Zhuo, the salary is even nearly three thousand. One hundred and fifty yuan is not enough to make them hurt their muscles and bones.

But Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong are different, the two of them are just compulsory soldiers, even if they are transferred to non-commissioned officers, they will have to talk about it in the coming year. Now the allowance for the two of them plus the subsidy of the special brigade is only about 200 yuan, which is already an extremely high amount among the compulsory soldiers of the whole army.

The monthly income is only about 200 yuan, and 150 yuan will be taken away at once, which is three-quarters of the allowance. Now Cheng Zhichao and others are conducting closed training, which can basically be said to be isolated from the world, and it is difficult to send a letter to the outside world. Not to mention that people from outside don't have to send them money. Even if Fang Xiaochen and Liu Xin felt sorry for Ailang and wanted to provide some financial assistance, the money would not reach them at all, and it would either be kept by Cheng Yanming or returned directly. Not to mention, before closed training. Cheng Zhichao had already written a letter to his home, clearly telling them about their current situation, asking them not to send them any more money and goods for themselves, and to wait until they finished the closed training.

Asking for help from Long Yanxue is obviously not realistic, although Cheng Zhichao and Long Yanxue have had a deeper relationship, but for some reason, I always feel that when I get along with her, I am a little worse than Fang Xiaochen and Liu Xin. Now Cheng Zhichao. He has cultivated to the supreme realm of taking money and things from Fang Xiaochen and Liu Xin, his face is not red and his breath is not breathing. But Long Yanxue's money, he didn't want to use it in vain.

Besides, now that Long Yanxue is not around, even if Cheng Zhichao is willing to let go of his knot and go to her for help, he will not see anyone at all.

Cheng Zhichao can be better, after all, Fang Xiaochen and Liu Xin used to send some money from time to time to help him, and Zhao Jiyong was much more miserable. Since being assigned to this great southwest by the old man. Zhao Dongjin seems to be confident in his ability to adapt for so long. I didn't even pay attention to it, I didn't even make a phone call, and I sent money? Don't even think about it.

For more than a year, he has taken how much money he has taken from Cheng Zhichao, and even he can't count it. Fortunately, there were two beautiful ATMs standing behind Cheng Zhichao. If you are short of money, you can always find an ATM to withdraw money. Now that they have lost contact with the ATM, they can only rely on themselves. And he also knows very well that Cheng Zhichao has little money left in his pocket.

Therefore, Cheng Zhichao's mood is certainly not good, and Zhao Jiyong's mood is even worse.

Cheng Yanming was still chattering at the front of the queue. It's just that the tone has changed greatly: "It's such a beautiful morning, but I'm not in a good mood, do you know why I'm in a bad mood?" ”

Cheng Zhichao and the others all lowered their heads, of course they knew why Cheng Yanming was in a bad mood, in fact, everyone was in a bad mood.

Cheng Yanming looked sorry and said with great pain: "My heart hurts, do you know, my heart really hurts." You know, you are all the elites I have carefully selected to stay, and I have great expectations for you, but how do you repay my expectations of you? An elite special operations detachment, more than a dozen people, didn't even understand a pig. In the middle of the night, he ran to an unguarded mountain village to steal a pig, and let the family chase him like a lost dog, and even lost his hat. ”

Zhao Jiyong's head hung lower. Although Cheng Yanming didn't name him, the person who lost his hat was none other than him, Young Master Zhao, which made Zhao Jiyong, who had always felt good about himself, a little embarrassed.

Cheng Yanming sighed, changed his words, and said, "Now, do you know that you can't do it?" To be honest, I know that before you came, you were very proud of yourself, thinking that if you stayed in the special combat team, you would become a superman. But last night an incident exposed your fox's tail. Compared to the official special forces team, you are not half a little worse. What happened last night, if any of the first and second detachment of the battle group had been changed, would never have happened. Even if the villagers kept their eyes open 24 hours a day, they would be able to steal the pigs out without alerting them. Because, that's what you're practicing. Special warfare and special warfare, to put it bluntly, is an enhanced version of the rooster and dog thief. ”

"I say this, you may not like to hear it, you are all soldiers of the People's Liberation Army, how can you be a thief of chickens and dogs? But I want to remind you, don't look down on the rooster and the dog thief, many times, the problems that cannot be solved on the frontal battlefield are all solved by you people. What you can't do, you have to do, and that's where your value lies. No commander will send you on a frontal battlefield to face the enemy's machine gun artillery charge, that would be a waste of talent. But the dangers you encounter are sometimes far more severe than those of soldiers on the frontal battlefield, which requires you to have a cool head and be superior to others. ”

Cheng Yanming saw that the dozen or so people in the queue seemed to have an understanding, and his tone couldn't help but soften: "Yesterday's operation was just a variant of a simple capture mission, but it turned the object from a human to a pig. You know, no one is going to let you catch it. Every successful battle case included a large number of reconnaissance and drills. In order to achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost. This time, you're facing your own people, so luckily, you're both still alive. If the other side were equally well-trained enemy fighters, you might not be so lucky. I hope for this thing. You can all take this as a warning, and when you go back, everyone has to make a systematic summary of the success or failure of this operation, and go back to a summary meeting, and everyone has to speak. Remember, what I want is not criticism and self-criticism, but the result of a real understanding of some of the problems in this operation. Do you understand? ”

"Understood!" More than a dozen people puffed up their chests and replied loudly.

"It's good to understand, the pig in the girl's house yesterday was stolen by Xia Zhenyang's team, right? What about pigs? ”

"It's been sent to the cooking class. After breakfast, they were busy cleaning up the pig. ”

"That's good, finally there's meat to eat. Hahahaha. Cheng Yanming laughed twice, and then said with a straight face: "However, the compensation still has to be compensated, if you don't catch up with the door, then it's okay, since people have caught up with the door." Compensation should be carried out as much as possible. Xia Zhenyang, how are the pigs doing? ”

"It's already six hundred dollars. There are still three hundred left. ”

Cheng Yanming frowned: "What's the matter, being chased by others, why is it still so slow?" One hundred and fifteen yuan for one person, three hundred yuan for two people, who else hasn't paid? ”

Cheng Zhichao replied: "Report to the captain, Zhao Jiyong and I haven't handed over yet." ”

"You two?" Cheng Yanming looked at the military ranks on the shoulders of Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong. His brow furrowed even tighter: "You two are really a problem too." People of your age, some of whom are second-class non-commissioned officers, but you are still senior soldiers. It's a bit difficult for you to come up with so much money for your little allowance. Never mind. I'll put the money on for you first. ”

"Thank you, Captain." Cheng Yanming solved the heart disease of Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong in one sentence, and both of them couldn't help but be overjoyed in their hearts, and sincerely expressed their most sincere gratitude to this empathetic captain.

"Don't be happy yet, I'm helping you put it on, not for you, if you have spare money in your hands, you must return it to me." After Cheng Yanming finished speaking, he took out three banknotes from his pocket, took out another note-keeping skill and handed it to Cheng Zhichao: "Make an IOU first." ”

......The excitement in the hearts of Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong immediately disappeared without a trace, and they smiled wryly and typed two IOUs, and after handing them to Cheng Yanming, they took the three banknotes in his hand and handed them to Xia Zhenyang, who was snickering on the side.

Cheng Yanming carefully put the IOU into his pocket, sighed, and said: "The bitter master has gone back, and this money has to be sent to others." Xia Zhenyang, this matter was made by your group, or should be handled by your group. Take two people, run to the villager's house, return the money to others, and go back as soon as possible. ”

"Yes." Xia Zhenyang agreed, and then asked, "Captain, who should I take there?" ”

"Ask me about this, do you need me to send another car to take you there?" Cheng Yanming's eyebrows rose again.

Xia Zhenyang was startled, didn't dare to ask again, and hurriedly called Cheng Zhichao, who was the most optimistic in his heart, and then brought Zhao Jiyong, gathered three people, and didn't dare to put a fart, so he really trotted all the way to the small mountain village.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

The people in the village are still very hardworking, and when Xia Zhenyang led Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong to that small mountain village, most of the people had already gone to work in the fields. Because it is located in a ravine, the fields in the village are terraced, and unlike the terraces in the north, which are planted with dry fields, here are planted with paddy fields.

The terraced fields are not suitable for mechanized farming, so the farming methods here are still mainly livestock, and Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong finally saw such a thing as a buffalo for the first time after growing so big. Standing on a high place and looking down, I saw that there were more than a dozen black buffaloes ploughing the ground scattered in the terraced fields. In the ploughed field, someone is bringing water to the field to soak the ground, and after the soil has completely absorbed the water, it is ready to be planted.

These tasks are all done by the villagers, so they seem to be orderly, not hectic at all, and they are even more distant from the realm of the heat. If it weren't for the fact that both people and cows were moving, it would seem as if time had stood still.

It was supposed to be an extremely peaceful and harmonious view. However, Cheng Zhichao and the others were not in the mood to appreciate it, and after identifying the direction, they hurriedly ran towards Gui Yanmei's house. Along the way, I occasionally met some kind uncles and aunts, and I was not surprised to see them enter the village, but looked at them with a very strange eye.

There may be no malice in this look, but Cheng Zhichao and the three of them are all red-faced. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't disobey Cheng Yanming's order, several people really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

The road was familiar last night, and the one who was even more lost in the daytime ran quickly to the door of Gui Yanmei's house with his head down, and found that the door was open. Several people hesitated for a moment, decided not to bother calling the door, and went directly into the courtyard through the open gate.

As soon as a few people entered the courtyard, they saw Gui Yanmei walking out of the house carrying a bucket, and saw three more soldiers in the courtyard. couldn't help but smile: "You're here?" ”

"Ah, the chief asked us to send you the pig money." Xia Zhenyang blushed, took out the money from his pocket and stuffed it into the girl's hand.

Gui Yanmei smiled: "What's the hurry, wait until I finish feeding the pigs first." ”

Xia Zhenyang found that Gui Yanmei was carrying a swill bucket in his hand, which was filled with thick pig food. It seems that their pig food is not bad, and the food they eat is a mixture of rice bran and vegetable leaves.

Everyone else said so, of course Xia Zhenyang couldn't insist anymore. swept his eyes and found that Gui Yanmei seemed to be a little struggling to carry the bucket of pig food. hurriedly glared at Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong: "If you don't have eyesight, you won't help." ”

"Oh!" Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong reacted at this time. Rush forward to help. Zhao Jiyong was closer to Gui Yanmei, and took the first step to grasp the swill bucket in his hand.

Gui Yanmei's hand was also holding the handle, and as soon as Zhao Jiyong's hand touched the handle, he felt cool and slippery, and it turned out to be touching with Gui Yanmei's slender jade hand.

Gui Yanmei didn't expect this soldier to move so quickly, because he was carrying something. I couldn't dodge it, so I had to smile coquettishly: "Ouch, you don't have to be so polite, I can do it myself." ”

"It's fine, things don't sink. There's nothing technical about feeding the pigs, let me do it. Zhao Jiyong couldn't help but say, snatched the swill bucket from her hand, and walked quickly towards the pigsty.

Gui Yanmei was helpless, so she had to follow him and say as she walked: "Then thank you." ”

At this time, Zhao Jiyong had already walked outside the pigsty, poured the contents of the swill bucket into the pig trough, and said with a dry smile: "What is there to thank, we stole a big fat pig from your family last night, and you didn't dig deeper, speaking of which, I have to thank you." ”

Gui Yanmei chuckled twice, did not respond positively to his apology, but stared at him twice, and smiled: "Hey, what's your name, listening to the accent, it seems to be a northerner." ”

"Ah, my name is Zhao Jiyong, from the Northeast."

"Really?" Gui Yanmei shouted in surprise and joy, "When I was a soldier before, I was also in your northeast. It's so cold in winter that you guys, and if you don't wear cotton clothes, you can freeze people to death. However, in winter, when the heating is turned on in the house, it is much warmer than ours, unlike here, when it comes to winter, the house is wet and cold. ”

"No, I've been here for more than a year, but I feel a lot of humidity, but I don't feel that cold."

"That's because you're used to freezing in the Northeast, so you don't feel cold when you come to us." Gui Yanmei smiled: "Zhao Jiyong, right, looking at your age, you should be about the same as me, how can you be a first-class soldier?" I was a soldier for five years and came back. ”

"Then you are really amazing, I was a soldier late, and I didn't want to be a soldier, but our old man insisted that I come, so that's it, let him send me over. Otherwise, I'd still be happy in school. ”

Gui Yanmei was amazed: "I didn't expect it, listening to my tone, it seems that he is still a college student, amazing." After speaking, he sighed and said faintly: "Actually, if I could go to college, I wouldn't be a soldier, but I can't help it, I can't study well, and I didn't even get into high school, so I had to go to the army." I didn't have a degree in the army, and I didn't have much development, so I was a big soldier for five years and had to retire and go home. You're a college student, so you're definitely popular in the army. ”

"I didn't see anything fragrant." When Zhao Jiyong first entered the village, he felt very faceless, but after talking to Gui Yanmei, his mood gradually improved, and he talked a lot. "You don't know, now that the education of soldiers is getting higher and higher, college students and soldiers are even more grasped, and we don't have any backstage, and it will be the life of the big soldiers in the future."

Gui Yanmei smiled: "That's not necessarily, last night, our more than 20 militiamen plus other people in the village, when they were prepared, did not stop you, and let you carry a fat pig of more than 100 catties from our house, special forces, special combat personnel, it is really amazing." ”

Zhao Jiyong laughed twice with her, laughing and laughing, and the smile froze on his face: "What? What did you just say, you were prepared? What's the situation? (To be continued......)
