Chapter 50: The Model Vegetable Patch
The army commander was attracted by Zhu Xiangjun's tomatoes, so he came to their company's vegetable field.
Now the commander looked at the red and bright tomatoes and said strangely to Hu Qiang; "Company Commander Hu! This is the tomatoes you planted in a row, how can you grow them so well! I've never seen a tomato this big, so you can't even plant space seeds. ”
"Commander! No! It's not a space seed, it's planted by a new soldier from our fourth class using the Grafting Technique. Tomato seedlings and watermelon seedlings are grafted together. Hu Qiang knew what the commander said about space seeds, he was talking about playing, but he still explained to the commander seriously.
"Oh! A new warrior who can graft tomatoes and watermelons together. Let's put it this way. These good-looking tomatoes must be delicious to eat. The commander looked at the beautiful tomatoes and had the idea to try them.
When Hu Qiang heard this, he immediately understood, he quickly picked a big and red tomato and washed it under the faucet on the edge of the vegetable field, and then took it and handed it to the military commander with both hands: "Military commander!" Try this watermelon-like tomato! ”
The army commander looked at the 'delicate' tomatoes, and couldn't help but take them from Hu Qiang's hand and take a big bite unceremoniously, praising while chewing: "Oops! It's so sweet! It feels like eating watermelon. ”
Zhu Xiangjun now watched the army commander happily eating the tomatoes he planted, and he was so happy in his heart. He felt that he was willing to give all the tomatoes to the commander now, and no matter how much he had paid before, as long as he could get a compliment from the commander, it would be worth it more than anything.
The army commander now finished eating the big tomato that Hu Qiang picked just now in two bites. While wiping his mouth, he also praised: "Oops! This tomato is so delicious, it's the best fruit I've ever eaten in my life. ”
When the army commander said this, he seemed to think of something again, and he suddenly asked Hu Qiang: "Company Commander Hu!" You just said that this was grafted by a new soldier from your company. So where is he now! Let me see. ”
"Commander! That's him! Hu Qiang pointed to Zhu Xiangjun standing beside them to the army commander.
"Oh! It's this little warrior! What's your name? How do you know this grafting technique! The army commander came over to see Zhu Xiangjun, and then patted him on the shoulder and smiled kindly.
"Report Chief! My name is Zhu Xiangjun! I learned this grafting technique with my father when I was at home. Because my father loved to grow tomatoes. Every year, we grow a bunch of tomatoes in our vegetable patch. After planting for a long time, I wondered if I could graft tomatoes and watermelons to see if I could grow tomatoes with opposite flavors, and after countless failures, I finally succeeded. Zhu Xiangjun replied a little nervously.
"Oh! I see, it seems that you are a person who loves to learn! You'll have more to learn when you get to the troops! As long as you work hard in the future, you will definitely make greater progress! The army commander looked at Zhu Xiangjun with a smile.
"Yes! I will definitely study hard," Zhu replied loudly.
"Okay! Zhu Xiangjun! Very good name, my surname is Zhu, it seems that we were a family five hundred years ago! When the commander heard that Zhu Xiangjun was also surnamed Zhu, he joked with him.
"Ahh Yes--yes--" Zhu Xiangjun didn't know what to say, just casually 'yes'. But he didn't just want to laugh in his heart: "Damn! If only we were really a family, I'll pick up big manure and grow tomatoes here. ”
"Hey! Zhu Xiangjun! You are a new soldier, how can you take the rank of corporal! "The army commander seems to have only now discovered that Zhu Xiangjun, a new soldier, is a little special.
"Ahh It's ---"
"That's right! Captains! I was his current squad leader, and I was also the squad leader of his recruit company. Because Zhu Xiangjun performed too well when he was in the recruit company. He single-handedly took three pacesetters, and the regiment commander felt that he was too prominent, so he specially awarded him the rank of corporal, and also served as the deputy squad leader of our squad. Li Chengming excitedly explained to the commander. It seems that Zhu Xiangjun's achievements also have his share of credit.
Li Chengming saw that the army commander only paid attention to Zhu Xiangjun and didn't notice himself, so he quickly grabbed Zhu Xiangjun's words and said to the army commander.
"Ahh I see! Zhu Xiangjun got three pacesetters alone, all those three pacesetters! The commander looked at Li Chengming at this time and asked. ,
When Li Chengming saw that the army commander had noticed him, he said excitedly: "Zhu Xiangjun alone has won the pacesetter of internal affairs, labor discipline and military training. This used to be for three people. This year, it was all given to Zhu Xiangjun alone. ”
"Good! Good! Such a great warrior should be given to him all. Commander and political commissar, you have done a good job! Our troops must vigorously carry forward the advanced, so that all the fighters can be encouraged to make positive progress! After the commander had finished speaking, he came over and took a closer look at the tomatoes in the vegetable field. It seems that I have eaten it, and I have to appreciate it more carefully.
The army commander looked at it for a while, then came over and said to Zhu Xiangjun: "Hey! Zhu Xiangjun! You know how to graft like this, but don't hide it, you must pass on your skills to the rest of the company! When I went to inspect the vegetable plots in various regiments this time, I heard from some leaders of the regiments that they said that the production of sideline businesses at the grassroots level is not very good, and the food of the companies is not very good. So I'm going to see the situation for myself. ”
"How so! Captains! It's not a military secret, how could I hide it! As long as someone is willing to learn, I will teach them wholeheartedly. "Zhu Xiangjun hasn't thought about the use of his grafting technique, who would want to learn this thing.
"Good! In the future, I will definitely convey an opinion to the logistics chiefs of each regiment, and ask them to spread your grafting skills to all company commanders. In that case, there will definitely be more grafted products in our vegetable fields, so our food will naturally be good! After the commander finished speaking, he came to the regiment commander.
The army commander looked at the handful of tomatoes, and then said seriously to the regiment commander: "Commander Fan! You have to protect this tomato, don't pick it now, now let it become our model vegetable field, these days I want to let the cadres of various logistics departments of your first division come here to visit. so that they can learn from the learning experience. ”
"Yes! Commander, we will do so and take good care of this model vegetable field. The head of the regiment replied earnestly.
"That's it! Let's take a look at other companies! "The commander is leaving. But he had only taken two steps before he came back.
The army commander came to Zhu Xiangjun and said to the regiment commander: "Commander Fan! A good soldier like Zhu Xiangjun must be praised well. What our troops need is such a good young man with a sense of responsibility and talent. ”
